List of Every Firmware Version for Chinese model.

So I've managed to find a treasure trove of firmwares for the Chinese model. Particularly interesting is that many early beta versions are available, from before release. Although there really may not be anything useful yet, I should be able to find new updates before they are released. Here is a list of all that's available. If you need any of these files, let me know. Note that anything under 1GB is most likely an OTA, though.

Nice thread, thank you. Where did you get NXT-AL10C00B163 (164MB) ?
Is this the next OTA?
I have the Chinese 128 GB version, living in Italy, and yet didn't get this update.

nope, B163 seemed to be just an internal testing or beta version. current chinese firmware is B165, u should get it sometime in the near future via OTA (provided, of course, ure still all stock, i.e. no root, no unlocked bootloader, no custom recovery, etc.)

Hi, I am a HUAWEI MATE 8 user in China. I’ve seen from the XDA forum that you have the firmware version of Chinese MATE8 modle. Can you send me the file of NXT-AL10C00B116 (1643MB)?

I just received the b165 update. I haven't noticed anything different.

I'm curious about this too. I have ordered the Chinese version and plan on using the tool RayGlobe Italian Knife to switch to international rom, but I understand that if you do this you don't receive OTA so you have to flash each new software version manually. In the OTA thread each OTA file can be found but the problem is that it says that you can not be rooted when flashing it.

If you have the right oeminfo, and it corresponds with the update, it will update manually, (hold vol up, vol down, power) dload folder .app file inside.

Updating through OTA

SO...
I went through and followed the instructions word for word of the gentleman in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994
My current Phone info is:
Model- hi6210sft
Build Number ALE-L21C432B551
EMUI-4.0
Android Version-6.0
Now my problem is that in order to make any progress in installing 6.0, I had to install an earlier build as it states in the link above. Now the link I selected for the earlier build number was for single-sim yet for whatever reason my phone is now telling me that I have two sim slots. Which is cool, I don't mind that. My phone has 1 Sim slot an 1 SD slot so thankfully this build didn't mess with my SD slot. Now it was said that downgrading would be followed with an OTA update, however I was not actually able to access an OTA update and the Balong glitch came up with the next upgrade I think. Everything I have done so far has been manual and I am worried that something may be wrong with that. Even now when I check for OTA's it states that no updates are available and yet higher build numbers are available. On top of all this, my region is New Zealand and the region of the current build I'm using is for Europe I believe. Will that be causing any problems? Lack of OTA support? Glitches in general (I have had a few of those with this build of MM, multiple messenger and/or contacts app icons appearing on home screen, themes glitching out and doubling up in the theme store under my downloaded themes menu and the one annoying me most is my camera now no longer taking full screen pictures rather now the image i see in the camera is a box instead of full screen).
Anyway, any tips on what I should do and where I should go for further info, please let me know in the comments. Any assistance is appreciated immensely. I am very new to this whole phone thing but not completely ignorant.
I have also attached some screenshots to show the sort of glitches I mentioned.

Few questions:
1) Are you still on b551?
2) Did you change your oeminfo file (one that changes your region)?
If you're still on b551 and have balongbug issue then head over to b170 (or b052) and apply the vendor update..
If you haven't changed your oeminfo file then you need to change it
https://yadi.sk/d/3eMg8bG0p8pU8 download this file and change it
change where? here's the location : /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name
yeah you need to be rooted to change it...

1) Are you still on b551? Yes
2) Did you change your oeminfo file (one that changes your region)? No. Didn't think you could but given you have to be rooted I now know why lol
If you're still on b551 and have balongbug issue then head over to b170 and apply the vendor update.
-The version I upgraded from to get b551 I think had the balong bug. I don't have it anymore thankfully. Spent the past three days reading these forums about all this stuff, sounds like the balong really stuffs people up.
If you haven't changed your oeminfo file then you need to change it.
-If I don't have Balong bug do I still need to change oeminfo file? Or is that so I can get OTA? We don't get a whole lot of OTA stuff in NZ to my knowledge...
On that subject, if the firmware is European then I wouldn't get OTA at all would I? Or is that why changing the oeminfo file is important?
Thanks for responding btw. If I had any thanks thumbs, you earned it

So as you probably saw on the other thread, my model number showed hisoft but build came through fine. Something to do with changed made in MM for sure...
I have gone through and started from scratch everything I did and will see how that turns out! I will also seriously look into rooting my device, hopefully i dont brick it after all this work. But i mean... I am in nz and we dont have MM available for p8 lite and from what i hear we wont even get it here. big bummer

UPDATE!!!
So I attempted last night to downgrade using this guys instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/guide-debranding-converting-single-sim-t3305977
Apparently I botched it up somehow and lost my IMEI file. So I went back to this guys thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994
Starting from B133 I worked my way up to B565 Single Sim European Nordic MM firmware using this site. This fixed my lost IMEI file thankfully.
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/...te-b565-marshmallow-update-single-sim-europe/
Still have the Balong bug. As I said last night, I attempted to use a vendor update, which I obtained from the Mega thread linked above (second link), to rectify this but it failed.
For some reason, all these updates I have done also got rid of the ugly Spark Mobile startup screen as well which is nice lol.
If I can get the Balong bug sorted then I will try root. Until then, as always, help is wholly appreciated.

Axon 7 6+128 A2017

Hello, i just receive my new phone with CN firmware ZTE_A2017V2.1.1B07. It come with international languages and google play installed so no OTA update available. Now, i don't want to take too many risk so i just want to be able to use my phone with nougat 7.1 and my question is can i directly install from recovery mode the B13 7.1 version or did i need 1st to install the full B09 and after OTA for B13, then reinstallation of googplay ? If i'm right every time i install a new full firmware i will have to reinstal googleplay ?

To install google play and make the phone works for your country, the seller must had messing around with your phone.
So before make any risk, you should unlock bootloader, then you can flash recovery and install A2017U or A2017G (depend on where you live). It have google service pre-install, english without chinese craps.

That could be my next step but i'm not really confident doing this right now (newbee). My concern is will my 2/3/4G work well with a A2017G on a CN phone, no modem or band problem ? Of coure that would be more simple because after i will be able to do all updates with OTA. Anybody can confirm that going from A2017 to A2017G work 100% ? Is there a guide A2017 (CN) to A2017G ? I see a lot of good informations here on xda but i don't want to brick my new phone . So if someone can provide me a step by step or a link with the full procedure that will help me a lot.

I myself run A2016U on chinese model. Work fabulous (wifi, cellurar, mobile network) - as long as you flash right modem.
My phone is already unlock bootloader when seller gives it to me, and I do plenty things (even run into EDL only, but not dead still, chinese model rule!!).

Yes the key point is the modem ... I'm too newbee to make the sorcer apprentice ... I really need some help to do that right.

Okay I also ordered the same phone (A2017 China version) from AliExpress and the seller installed Google play and international language support. My phone came with B07 (same as yours).
Now read this really carefully, your phone is not stock, to install Google play and language support the seller messes around with the phone at the system level, so the phone will not receive OTA updates and will not flash OTA update files, the Chinese recovery is also useless. Any attempt to forcefully update the device will soft brick your phone.
You can keep running the B07 ROM but of you want to update you will have to unlock bootloader, root and install TWRP on your phone.
I have created a rar file with all the files you need to root and unlock bootlader:

Follow the instructions here:
Follow the instructions here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/newbies-guide-to-unlocking-rooting-axon-t3496234
Remember to run the backup program "axon7backup.exe" to backup your recovery and boot before rooting.
Also update twrp using fastboot once you have unlocked the bootloader.
After installing the latest twrp you can update to the latest nougat chinese build using this:

Thanks Vurio, doing like you said bring me to A2017 B13 Nougat 7.1 in chinese version right ? Is that preferable and more easier to do this than trying to go on A2017G ? I'm in Switzerland and the phone work great 2G/4G so i don't really need to be on G version. Just one more newbee question, every time i put a new firmware i will need to reinstall all my apps and of course Googplay ?

If I flash the u or g version on this phone. Are the LTE bands 20 unlocked like one the g version?

I have the Chinese version. All i done when i got it was flashed the full Chinese firmware and installed Google services and apps. I've been getting the ota updates and am now on 7.1.1. Which came ota Sunday. I did not need to root or anything.
I'm in uk.

Everytime you flash a new ROM, you need to wipe data, so yes you need to reinstall Google play and all your apps. But if you are rooted you can use titanium backup and that makes restoring apps really easy and quick.
About the firmware, axon 7 has 3 versions, Chinese, European and american. Each one comes with its own set of 4g bands and that cannot be changed no matter what you flash.
The Chinese and the american versions are most compatible with each other. You can use the American rom on the Chinese version but the changes will be aesthetic only. You will get rid of all the annoying Chinese text and apps and your phone will look and feel more "global". The modem of the phone will still remain Chinese so the bands won't change.

Ok so titanium is a must because we will have some new firmware this year ...
I'm not a newbie on computer thing but Android .... I discover it on my shield tv 2 monthes before ... I'm not scared to try but it's the fact to try and not to be sure 100% that work.
Your solution same to be the one but i see now that some (other) chinese seller propose A2017 CN version with A2017G installed ... How they do that ? Did they also flash the modem ?
I repeat i dont really need A2017G but i want to apply the most optimal option for my situation and when you don't really know what you do, it's not easy ... Also when you just pay some $$ to a brand new phone ...

The modem will not work. The modem will only work for the particular device. The seller on AliExpress never have the best reputation.
I am guessing that they would flash the European ROM but leave the modem Chinese. This is possible but European compatibility is not the best with Chinese version.
The american on the other hand has the best compatibility and even received updates faster. For eg. American version is on 7.1.1 whereas the European version is on 7.0.
And I completely agree with your sentiments on your new phone. One should always be careful and have complete information before messing around with a phone.
Also titanium backup only works on rooted phones. Titanium and adaway are the only reason that the first thing I do when I get a new phone is root it ??

I bought mine from aliexpress. They done the same thing and put a note saying you shouldn't do anything... Or something to that effect. Trust me, your in exactly the same situation. There's a few threads on here from a few months ago. All you need to do is flash the stock firmware. Flag the Google apps and update them and away you go. Check the threads, I'm out so ain't got time to look but i think they were in the general section. Definately easy as pie. I've not had to write my phone since. Have had a couple of ota updates and no problems

Did you flash the official firmware without rooting and installing TWRP?

Yes. I have never rooted the phone or installed any other recovery. Just flashed the firmware by having it on the internal sd card and update software.
Please read through the thread where this is discussed in detail and works easy before you start.
I followed info from that thread and it went fine.

Ok alom5 you got my attention now. I'm really not in hurry f you can give me the thread (when you have some time) tomorow or later. This phone is so great, i will take my time to make the right think. Just to be clear you receive OTA after flashing ? So i need to flash the stock A2017 B07 ( i presume), then reinstall "properly" googplay and after i will receive all news OTA update ? Sound great ... Could be the easiest way for me ... When you flash back to stock and restart can you choice the language or are you only in chinese ?

I'm searching in the forum and if i see right i can directly flash the B13 version for SD ? http://www.zte.com.cn/china/sitecor...rt/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78 I'm downloading right now ... 9 hours remaining ...

No Updates at all

Hi all,
I just recently went back to complete stock, from CM, as I want to hand it over to a friend.
I successfully switched back to C432B160 last week.
But still not a single update does show up, though that build is from November 2016.
It always tells me, that there are no updates. I am aware that Updates will show up with Hisuite, but shouldn't the stock updater present updates, too?
(I am not even talking about Nougat)
I already successfully tried a factory reset.
The only idee I have, is that I now have a DS oeminfo on an originally SS phone.
Does anyone have an idee, what might be wrong?

well, if you have ds oeminfo while your phone is ss, try flashing ss oeminfo and then the stock rom again

Well the phone was SS at the beginning, but now I have oeminfo for DS and Stock Rom for DS (B160)

I wiped all and completely new flashed B160.
I did not setup any account (Google, Huawei), but only connected the phone to my WIFI.
Still neither Update nor HiCare show any available updates.
Does this need a SIM Card to be in the phone? Are there any other precautions?
I have no idea why it behaves like this.
edit: both frp and bootloader are locked according to the Bootloader Menu
I might add 2 weeks ago when coming from CM, there were no updates in update menu but HiCare, so I went fo Nougat. Nougat did not work properly, so I went back to B160 in order to start again, but since then, I never saw any update in menu, nor HiCare.
Might Huawei block DS Roms for IMEIS of originally SS phones?

Heyho,
sounds really wired...
-
Here is what u can try,
1) bring the device back to stock (unrooted, loader closed)
2) do a factory reset and also the cache clear which is offered in the stock recovery
-
Start the device, do a dummy setup (only wlan is needed) check if the device offers an update. If not, well, try to manually update from C432B160 to C432B210 and check the update app again.
About this issue, i'm not sure, but maybe Huawei have a "downlaod limit" for an IMEI, that u can only download the update for example 10 times or so... I don't know^^ - I can only say, my device "L31 - Single-SIM - T-Mobile" modded to C432B380 dual-SIM have no issues with updates... I got since B130 every update via the normal update app. - But i also know that the updates will be released in waves, i don't know how they exclude/include devices in such an wave. But maybe, u have an oeminfo from an device which wasn't in the "current wave list". - As already mentioned i don't know how they manage those waves or what the trigger is...
Hope i could help u a bit
Regards
Sebastian

I might add 2 weeks ago when coming from CM, there were no updates in update menu but HiCare, so I went fo Nougat. Nougat did not work properly, so I went back to B160 in order to start again, but since then, I never saw any update in menu, nor HiCare.
Might Huawei block DS Roms for IMEIS of originally SS phones?

So, did you try upgrade on N using Firmware finder?
If not, try it and you will see if your device in black list. I also use DS firmware for SS model and just last night I upgraded normaly from B160 to B370 Ota, and after that to B380 Ota.

@k1ll3r8e
Yes it already is a dummy setup. I will manually upgrade to B210 and try again, Thanks alot! @Alexxxx1
Firmware Finder is the Windows tool, isn't it? If above progress won't work I might boot my Windows partition and check on that.
Is there by chance any other way to check if the device is somehow blacklisted?
@all
Would Huawei push the updates to my device, if I would contact them? (I ask because of the altered oeminfo. Or would the refuse support in that case, which is what I guess)
edit: Does by chance anyone have a link to the C432B210 ROM?

Edit:
Here is the link (just back on my PC)

Firmware finder is android app. You can find it in google play store as a free tool for upgrade huawei devices. In Ffinder you will find option for checking autorization of official firmware for your device, is it allowed or not for your device.
Regards

I did flash B210, but no Updates withiin 1 day. (I think time was to short)
I then flashed B370 Full-PV via Firmware Finder.
B380 should come automatically sometime, hopefully.
I think its time to hand it over to my friend now.
Only thing I am curious about is:
settings -> about phone -> certification: Serbia
I guess this is normal for C432?

Yes, its normally for C432 if device was purchased in Serbia

It was bought from T-Mobile in Germany. But well.

No worries about that
I bought mine also from T-Mobile DE, and mine shows also "Serbia"... I searched a bit for similar issues and it seems that also the P8 with C432 is for "Serbia" at least a unknown amount of it, sooo i think it comes from the "ROM" not from the device. Maybe they only certify the ROM for a "law based standart" to "Serbia". - Who knows...^^

US Tablet User - Can I get to Nougat?

Hi all, I'm a US user with W09 and would like to get it to Nougat - I have read the entire "Update to EMUI 5.0" thread and there appeared to be several possible routes, but most were regarding the European version.
I have a US Wi-Fi model and have no allegiance in keeping it a US one, if there's a way to remove the regional aspect to gain access to the update (BETA or otherwise).
I would greatly appreciate if someone who has some experience with or is very confident of the correct path would shed some light for me.
Thank you!

Have you tried update via Firmware Finder? Witch firmware version do you have now?

I've just finished reading the entire thread linked above that mentions that method a number of times, so I'm certainly familiar with it, but haven't tried it because sprinkled throughout that thread are plenty of issues encountered. Also, there's no mention of US hardware/firmware specific instructions.
I'm on W09 as mentioned in the OP - thanks for the reply!

Install Firmware Finder from Playstore and post a screenshot with firmwares that appear there.

I'm away from my tablet at the moment but will do later on when I get home.

We will see after that what we can do. I have updated my tablet to Nougat, but I have BTV-DL09 (4G European version).
To change region I think you have to unlock bootloader.

Here's what's in firmware finder @33adi

What's the advantage to switching from US to EU roms? I unlocked, rooted, enabled 5ghz band for wifi, and now only need nougurt but much like the original poster not sure the best route.

The advantage of removing the US stock rom is that the European one has a beta available that is very stable. My thread is seeking someone who's confident of the steps to 1st going European & 2nd installing nougat once there, as there was some debate of complexity to doing even that.

I've been through exactly what you are wanting to do @dutchdoggs54 . Unfortunately I can't tell you step by step how I got to where I'm at.
I was on W09128BXXX out of the box . Read the topic that you have linked in your first post and decided to do it using firmware finder to force the update to Nougat as they described. It actually went very well and Nougat worked great with the exception of Bluetooth not working.
I have to say during the upgrade when it booted into recovery and it was TWRP I was concerned. Believe it had an error but it worked and replaced TWRP as I recall with a stock recovery.
So after all that I decided I wanted my tablet branded as a BTV-W09C100B006. Below is the topic where a member thought they bricked their tablet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/how-to/bricked-m3-btv-w09-t3612699
They were given directions to download the Full update package for the version I just mentioned.
This member got their tablet working again and in the process found that 5Ghz wifi is enabled on C100B006 by default.
That was the main reason I rooted my tablet.
I followed the directions knowing I force install a different version of Nougat from your link.
Downloaded the full version software and dropped it in the dload folder on my US tablet and did the upgrade.
Tablet rebooted and shortly after it rebooted again going to recovery (I tried may times to boot). Don't recall the error but after I unlocked my bootloader again it reset the tablet and I was able to access it again. I did relock the bootloader so I can see updates without any problems after that.
In the end I got what I was after. My tablet shows as a BTV-W09C100B006 and can check for updates.
5Ghz wifi is enabled by default. As I said I relocked the bootloader so I'm not rooted. Overall it's works so well I'll wait for Nougat to get released and then do the official upgrade. After the scare of booting to recovery it was worth every nervous minute of it.

Try to talk to OP from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/...-root-t3374068
Maybe he can make this app available to Mediapad M3, then changing OEMINFO will be easy.
I posted a question there.

No luck
Ok, so I tried following @Samavb's great instructions and guidance in the other thread last night. Made it all the way to the point where he says to install 009 from the Huawei website - got it downloaded and loaded up on the tablet only to find that it wouldn't install because the 009 file on the website is BTV-DL09 not the BTV-W09 version a US tablet would need.
So I got frustrated and tried installing the B301 build that appeared on firmware finder when I was on the W09-006 build...this was nougat and was cool but no keyboard and the play store wouldn't install anything, so I was forced to revert back to 006.
So, long story short, hours of work have confirmed that there doesn't appear to be a way to get a US tablet to fully functional Nougat at the moment. If there was a 009 or 010 build like Samavb mentions for the US model, maybe it would work, but those aren't anywhere to be found - firmware finder, russian site he mentions or otherwise.
So, I'll happily sit on 006 and wait for a US OTA update. That is unless anyone can tell me exactly how to make this US model into a European model.

Same boat as original poster. US w09 on build c128b003. Firmware finder just finds the same version. Anyone know when there might be a us version update released. I thought it was supposed to be may so have been waiting patiently.....but may is over.

In Firmware Finder select the menu in the top left corner. (3 bars)
Right below your model number, select change model and enter BTV-W09C100 and then search.
You should see B301 and it's a full OTA. However, as I understand it this is just a beta/test release.
Only issue I had with it, bluetooth didn't work. Seeing as how I don't use it, didn't bother me.
I highly recommend you fall back to the other topic about forcing the upgrade to Nougat.
Only difference from my tablet and yours. I was on C128B002. I had already rooted and couldn't get that update.

Also US 64gb version here and hoping for an update to Nougat and EM5. Would love to see it!
Huawei have been quite attentive for updates in other markets which is great. Too bad the non-LTE version in US doesn't get the same love.
Buying this tablet was a roll of the dice for me, banking on the hope that Huawei would be attentive to software updates (for all markets) and custom ROMs could serve as back up/enjoyment. This tablet has solid hardware and with another launcher it is decent.
Sadly, my experiment to try out a non-Nexus device without the latest (or close to pure) Android version is coming to an end. The last M3 sold on Swappa went for around $300.

I just updated the firmware finder app and it now shows the full ota for nougat. It wasn't found until I updated the app.

Thanks Purple Lady!
Too anyone in this thread, I want to install the latest version available in Firmware Finder.
When I select download, I get 3 file choices. Which should I pick to download then what are the steps to update? Please point me to the best post to reference as there are a few.

from what i gather. if you're going from MM to Nougat, you need to install the Full OTA. for that, there are 2 files, you will need both of them. from there, i'm not sure.
