Failed for me using both methods, my phone is the correct version
It will not work, Cust version should be C432
I have the EVA-L09C521B140, this also works for me?
If u search on the official website, you will see that for P9 lite VNS L21 there is Android 6.0 the last version.
create a dload folder in the root of sd card, copy UPDATE.APP in that folder and proceed
The update.zip file contains no folder called dload
This is its root contents:
full_mainpkg.tag
UPDATE.APP (it’s 2.81 GB)
META-INF (dir)
The guide is for EVA-L09C432 variant only. Check your device’s model number for EVA-L09 and Cust version for C432
