Hi all,
I and my business partner got the Galaxy s at the same time, within 3 days of each other.
He plugged his in the other night and managed to get the Froyo update.
So it looks like Orange are starting to roll it out to selected users.
However when I try an update through Kies on mine I get 'This devices version cannot be updated' message.
I phoned Orange and they told me their system was saying it would be released 'Very soon' and she thought that his updated because they were rolling it out to a select few first. Which I can understand...roll it out to a few and see how many ring up complaining. Only thing is, how would that gauge anything, as surley the majority of users wouldn't even hit the firmware update button to check or even care if there was an update.
He didn't receive any Text message saying it was ready, he just tried it by luck.
So my question it, if I post his device codes, is there a way to get the Official Orange update via Kies?
Many thanks

I always thought froyo updates were based on Product codes nothing more so its available for one Orange handset then all orange branded ones would get it. It could be that your mate/co-worker simply doesn't have an orange branded one and his phone was sim free? Check both your product codes and see if thye match.
Or you had a different version of firmware than your friend and your version was one that's not listed in Kies database and you will never get update that way.
I had this having JG5 software - it was saying my firmware cannot be updated. Once I tricked Kies to say I have JF-something, I was immediately offered JM1 (newest 2.1). Now on JM1 he properly says I have the newest version.
I had that JG5 directly from the shop. I think the service guys in my country were flashing newest firmware on the phones including internal beta releases that are later not recognized by Kies and accidentaly this blocks updates.
Definitely Orange branded. I'm not 100% sure what his firmware was before flashing, so can;t answer that.
If there is anyone here who knows the UK Orange product code that has successfully updated their phone, Please let us know what it was.

Hi, i bought P10 lite october 2017 and after turning on, phone received an firmware update B183.
Since then, phone is not receiveing any other system updates so its current version is: WAS-LX1C432B183, while other WAS-LX1 phones received newer firmware updates.
Any possible solution or ideas about solving this problem, please?
I too seem to be getting no updates either - although I'm 'lucky' enough to be on WAS-LX1AC432B187 even though in another thread here other people are up to B209/B210
I originally suspect it may be all down to Country / Operator / Network ....
Certain Operators (especially in UK) are VPN's that 'rent' airwaves from the main companies (Vodafone/O2/3/EE) & I suspect that when a new firmware is released (by Huawei for example), the big companies then have to modify these to include their bloatware to distribute it > then the VPN's may get their hands on the firmware & add their bloatware before distributing the updates..
Considering my operator is ASDA Mobile, who 'rents' from EE - I suspect EE hasn't passed on the modified firmware to ASDA to distribute (of course I may be totally wrong on how firmwares are distributed)
I admit I have been VERY tempted to attempt Firmwarefinder app to update to a newer firmware (not necessary BETA Oreo), but a little scared as there's SOOooo many firmware updates for my phone & like everything 'new' & never used before - I'm scared I may brick my phone (I can't afford to buy a new £200 each time I bugger something up)
I'm not sure if I can go from B187 straight to B209 (or B210)..
... or do I have to do it in steps (B187/B188 etc)..
.... or do I use the the OTA-MF or the FullOTA-MF version..
.... and why is there a B209 firmware (dated 2018.04.08) that 'newer' than a B210 (dated 2018.04.27) for the same phone

New updates are based on IMEI numbers, operators and country, its true, its weird how you guys didnt receive any updates yet, but after the update is available for your IMEI, operators must distribute update to customers. Was-lx1a, not only oreo beta, official oreo update should be available for your phone, like in Germany, Spain or other countries, they all receive it, B209, B210 are updates for P10 lite, b209 is for single sim model, b210 is for dual sim variant, and dual sim variant receive it after single sim, its the same update, thats only difference. My advise for you is to contact huawei support and maybe they could push updates for your phones through hicare app or somehow.
Greetings

I did factory reset on P10 lite last night and nothing happened, still no firmware update found. My phone is factory unlocked, bought from T-mobile partner in my country, and i'm using it on another telecom provider VIP (vodafone member)

I need to make an observation.
In my daily life i check 2 different P10 Lite phones for updates (both are locked in Vodafone).
So... about the updates, i observed that the availability of the updates is limited to few days, maybe a week. I actually updates one P10 lite and had no time to update the second one. After a week when i tried to update the second phone, the update info in the Update App was there as red text, but it disappeared when i tried to apply it. So i had to wait for the next update to bring both phones to the same version.
So, ya.. try to talk to Huawei using whatever chat system its available to you.

You dont need factory reset on phone, just contact their support in your country. At least, try to do that, I heard they have really bad support.

If you want oreo on your phone try to use hwota method, you will have to unlock bootloader and after you finish you can relock it again. Im not sure if you will lose varanty, more about this method you can read here on xda, just scrool down
WAS-LX1AC432B179 here.
Spoke to an operator today via HiCare / Live chat
"All devices in the UK are scheduled to receive it in the following 8 weeks maximum."
"The update is sent in batches for a certain number of devices and another one and so on."
"I cannot specify an exact date when you will receive it I'm afraid."
8 weeks, how slow they are.
Im not in the UK, but... Who knows, maybe 8 weeks for me either
It isn't uncommon for an update to roll out over several weeks. What's stupid is that you can't force the update yourself with whatever risk it entails.
Hmm, 8 weeks..... guess I'll have to see if I get it or not, before I reconsider doing the Firmwarefinder route
I contacted them recently regarding the Oreo update and they said i should receive the update before the end of July, if not then contact them again

I know your pain - Most carrier networks need to receive a Firmware Approval before rolling it out across their network. It is also likely that it is based of your IMEI Number as well, since that is what Huawei uses to check to see if you are eligible for an update.
I am originally from the UK (O2-UK) that was (at the time) stuck on WAS-LX1AC432B173, now living in Belgium (Proximus/Belgacom) on WAS-LX1AC432B209.
I would highly recommend the Firmware Finder app for using it to update. it allows you to tap on a Firmware and check in advance of updating, wether not not you can (Check Firmware Access -> Check Availability -> Allow it to use your phone for reading IMEI, and it will let you know if its is Approxed for installation, or Not Approved.).
To answer your questions:
NOTE: All of this is from my own experience with Upgrading using Firmware Finder. Highly Recommending making a backup using HiSuite to back up your phone before continuing.
1. You will probably need to do it in steps. B187 -> B191 -> B193 -> B197 -> B203 -> B207 -> B209
2. Always use the FullOTA-MF Versions.
3. Probably for the different variants (Single Sim vrs Dual Sim) like Umri Muki already said.
Hope this helped at all

Thanxs for the feedback.. I think i'll still wait the 8weeks b4 considering...
1 more question (open to all)... How will I know which of these is for single SIM & which is for Dual ?
Both show up as 'approved for installation' & to be honest I'm not 100% sure whether my phone is Single or Dual SIM anyway (brought of Amazon UK so I assume its the European/UK Single SIM model)
I THINK it's single since under Settings > About phone there's only 1 IMEI number shown & I did read that a Dual SIM would show 2 IMEI numbers (or am I mistaken)

Had been stuck on B187 for months, but decided to give Firmware Finder method a go as above, downloading the FullOTA-MF of B191 using the DNS VPN method. Had a few problems with download errors but found another post here that suggested uninstalling any updates to the 'System Update' app. That seemed to work and update started downloading VERY SLOWLY. Left it overnight and finally got the update to install after a couple of reboots. Once B191 was on, phone seems to be able to pick other updates automatically. Has picked up B193 itself and now is just installing B197. Hopefully, it will get to B209.
Phone is a SIM Free UK version bought from Carphone Warehouse.
WAS-LX1AC432Bxxx
Update -- seems to have stopped an B197 so will try B203 via Firmware Finder

Had a look - but that post isn't for my phone
My phone is a 'WAS-LX1A' while that post refers to L01, L21, L21A & L01A
Further checking & I find posts like
Huawei P10 lite Model No: WAS-LX1 is BUILT as a single SIM device

It can be either one. You will only be able to check if you have a single sim, or dual sim device, by checking if you have one, or two, IMEI numbers in Settings > About phone.

So at least I'm 90% sure I have a single sim phone BUT there's post that state I COULD make it Dual sim if I wanted

you sure? then what is the X is LX1A for? 0 for single sim and 2 for dual sim. so L01A is single sim and L21A is dual sim.
