Huawei P8 Lite updated to Lollipop in the most complicated way possible
The Huawei P8 Lite is finally getting updated to Lollipop, but unfortunately, you have to do all the work to install it and it will delete everything on your phone.
If installing Lollipop is that important to you, be prepared for a much more complicated install compared to normal. You must first download two files, decompress them and transfer them to a microSD card with at least 4GB free, now you are able to delete all your data and end up with Lollipop. It’s actually even more complicated than just that since it’s a two step flash. The “smaller file needs to be installed to prep the device, then reboot, copy over the other file, and finally you can install the full ROM”. A long wait time for a Lollipop update and a complicated install that deletes everything, thanks a lot Huawei…
The files are roughly 1GB, but will be larger once unzipped. You also must have stock B124 firmware installed currently. If you have anything else, you must flash that version first and then will be able to install the new version.
