Updater missing from settings

Hello, today i have decided to update to nougat so i have downloaded and installed CAN-L01C150B330 from firmware search, when i go to settings the updater tab is missing, if i search updater on setting, updater is show but i can`t open it....so i have tried to do a factory reset, phone boot into recovery stared factory reset but stopped at 5%.
I am the only one with the missing updater and the factory reset error?
What i`m doing wrong?
Here are the steps fallowed to install nougat:
- unlock bootloader
- download the firmware
- extract update.app and copy to dload folder in the root of sd card
- extract recovery.img from update.app with huawei extract tool
- flash extracted recovery.img with fastboot
- boot into recovery and update to nougat.

I had the same issue. After i installed the eu update package, i got the updater in settings back.

how did you install?? i have tried to install as instructed but update failed

make it like Jozinek has written in this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-plus/how-to/c432b320-android-7-0-available-try-t3527084)
only i have the eu update package just as extracted and installed as the full package.
1. download both zip files
2. extract the full update zip and put the UPDATE.APP file in the dload directory on the root of your sd card
3. force updating by (poweroff your phone and) holding all three buttons on right side together
4. wait until the update is complete
5. extract the eu update zip and put the UPDATE.APP file in the dload directory on the root of your sd card
6. force updating by (poweroff your phone and) holding all three buttons on right side together
7. you have it (i hope so )
Forgive me if my English is not the best

Still i am not able to install the eu pack, uptade stops at 52%.

i dont know, if anything is wrong with your unlocked bootloader combined with the update package. that is the only idea i have.

Restore L14 back to stock after a bad flash or if you do not like EMUI 5

Last night I tried to root my device and ended up bricking my L14 honor 8. After several hours I finally got restored back to EMUI 4 then updated back to 5. Because of how difficult it was to find exactly how to do this I have compiled an exact how to of how to restore your device along with an all in one download.
1. Flash the stock recovery if you currently have twrp or something else installed. In the compressed file this file is labeled as STOCK RECOVERY.img. To flash load fastboot then use the command "fastboot flash recovery "STOCK RECOVERY.img"" without the outside quotes
2. Create a folder named "dload" on a micro sd card. This folder is where you will copy your update.app files for recoverying
3. Copy the update.app from the rollback folder to the dloads folder on the microsd card.
4. Boot up the phone while holding vol up and down. This will put the phone into image restore mode. If the file is in the right location it will start loading the image. Once it finishes loading the phone will reboot. Once rebooted copy the other update.app from the mm folder to the dload folder on the micro sd card. Then reboot the phone again to restore mode. This will load the default stock image the honor 8 came with.

Will I have to relock my bootloader in order to apply the update.app? In the pdf file you provided, it says to "Make sure your phone system version has not been unlocked or rooted," but I just want to make sure before I do this.

It will relock your bootloader once you flash the stock mm fw.

Do you know how to root L14 with MM and EMUI 4.1? I have just successfully unlocked the bootloader using Huawei MultiTool but the Root permission menu is confusing. I don't see any "US" version in the option. Do you have any idea?

[SOLVED] How to unroot, relock bootloader and flash EMUI ?

Hello,
I tried to flash the RessurectionRemix ROM and it was working well except the LTE so I decided to get back to EMUI.
Problem, i took the backup of bluesmoothie and flashed it but the phone never finish to boot.... (I didn't wipe anything, i thought that the restore function of TWRP was doing everything, am I wrong ?)
Moreover, the TWRP recovery can't access the content of my ext sdcard where the RR ROM is located and even if i put this rom to internal storage, i got the ERROR 7 (this is for deive: can; you have generic_a53)
Do you know what can I do to :
- Come back to EMUI
- Unroot the phone
- Re-lock the bootloader
The files of the TWRP backup are located on the sdcard, if i wipe data/system/cache, will it delete these files ?
Infos :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP of Garak (but still have ERROR 7 now)
Thank you very much

First you need to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. After that you need to put the update.app in a folder called dload in your internal storage.

Okay but where can I find the stock recovery ?
Then, do i have to flash it via ADB like i did with TWRP ?
After that, where can I find the "update.app" that you are talking about ?
If i'm right, you're telling me that i can't go back to EMUI without flashing the stock recovery ?

That is correct. First use firmware finder to get the update.app. There is a firmware extractor tool for Huawei firmware. Use it to extract the recovery.img and flash with fastboot.

First of all, thank you very much for your anwser, it's very kind of you.
If i understood everything, that's what i have to do :
- Download one of the Huawei firmwares with Huawei Finder (Better get the B100 or another one ?)
- Extract the recovery.img with the update.app from Huawei Finder
- Flash the stock recovery with ADB
Then :
- I put the update.app that i get through the Huawei Finder in the dload folder of the internal storage (If i flash the stock recovery, will I be able to put files in the storage ?)
- I reboot the phone in recovery and normally, it should install the EMUI rom
At the end, my phone will no longer have a custom recvery, bootloader unlocked and root status ?

Yes, that's correct. But you have to put update.app in dload folder on your SD card as far as I know. That's how I did it.
I couldn't find B100 on Firmware Finder and I've got relocked bootloader on Nougat.

Yes, you will need to copy the update.app to internal storage in TWRP, then flash the stock recovery. After flashing you need to hold all three buttons when booting (just like getting into TWRP. After update you will have no custom recovery, no root, and it should lock bootloader.

If it doesn't boot, then boot in recovery and do a factory reset and then it should boot. It happened to me and that's what I did.

I still have the warning message "your phone is unlocked", is it normal ?
When i boot into recovery it's displaying "eRecovery" and ask me to download the new update of recovery but it fails when getting the package. I can only reboot and turn off :/
Thank you as always

You shouldn't have that message anymore.
Are you sure that the update.app got installed? @wangdaning told you to put it on dload folder in internal memory. I don't know if that is right or if it works, but I've put it in dload folder on sdcard when I've installed update.app.

You can read in this post the steps I've used to relock the bootloader and get update (official I guess) through Settings > System update. Just "click to show content".

The problem is that the phone doesnt finish to but anymore... i can't do things in menu.
When you talk about SD card, it's the external sd card ? Because i don't have access to it anymore, but i have the partition SD Card
When you installed the B340 update, you seen the percent growing up and had a "success" message ? Because, for me, the update is stuck at 5% and then it reboot the phone

Yes, I mean external sdcard.
Reinstall TWRP and restore bluesmoothie's backup and then flash the stock recovery again.
I didn't have any issues with installing the B340 firmware. It was installed successfully.
Try to follow the steps I've used. You shouldn't have any problem.

Okay i'm going to try it right away
My external sd card doesnt show up anymore when i connect it to my PC, i don't know why

I mentioned internal SD card because you said your external was not recognized, but you might try putting the dload folder on external. I have done it both ways. Sometimes the update through stock recovery is finicky. If it doesn't finish run it again. Also, make sure your USB is disconnected, as may Huawei users have mentioned this causes it to freeze. If it still fails, try dloading a different update from firmware finder.

Did it work?

I didn't have so much time these days but I did it and it worked for the 1st part (flash bouesmoothie's backup). Tomorrow I'll do the final step! Thank you again

Here I am :
1 : flashed stock recovery from B350 and i don't have the "unlocked" message anymore !
2 : The update B350 made it, "update success"
3 : It doesn't boot for now
4 : The boot doesn't end
-----
1 : flashed TWRP recovery, launched a factory reset in the same time
2 : Phone booting again on B100
-----
1 : flashed stock recovery from b350
2 : flashed b350 update
3 : Everything is fine !
Thank you for your help !!!

P9 lite No audio After TWRP restore Dload failing HELP

[SOLVED] Hi i was on l-31c432b381 firmware with emui 5.0 and android 7.0, i have unlocked the bootloader for install magisk 12.0 and have root permissions, after months i saw an update for my phone (b389) so i tried to upgrade but i had twrp so error 1 or 7, i flashed the stock recovery, redowload the update and the install failed at 5%, so i tried to unistall magisk before update, but nothing it wont update, after few tries the upgrader says that the update now is not 300mb but is full and is 2gigs, so i think is the time.. but no. so i tried to force the update with 3 buttons recovery dload method but it doesn't work at all 5% at every try. so i searched for support and i found that the ota connot be installed on unlocked devices, so i tried to relock my bootloader with oem relock and the unlock number but it says root type is risk... so i can't even relock my bootloader.. other says that i have to install to relock or can relock... but is b381 the stock? or they instend the mm version? i don't remember what version p9 lite ships. i tried to flash imgs through fastboot but even if i flash system and boot of the b389 the system boot and the info are of the b381, unisatlling app system crash, so i restored my previous backup made through twrp recovery, i immidiatly noticed that the huawei boot animations was gone and was an android stock animation. i thinked it was fine and all was working properly, i give up o upgrade and i was fine but sad. after few hours i tried to make a paper copy with my printer that have nfc but my phone keep shows and hide nfc symbol like on off on off on off over and over even after reboot, after a call i understand that the audio doesn't was working, every type of audio not work even the mic. i don't see any other problems but without sounds is unusable as a phone or mulimedia things... sorry for bad english please HELP i tried all i founded ...

Hi, my english is bad too , B389 is an OTA update, its impossible upgrade via fstboot or via TWRP (error 7). IMO the right way to fix your problems - downgrade to MM , then back to Nougat etc. (remove pattern Lock , Fingerprint lock, root etc. before installing downgrade). It will erase all your phone data!!!
Download official rollback package for your VNS-L31C432
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and download MM firmware VNS-L31C432B161 (Single SIM)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip
1) Create a new folder dload in root directory of SD card (root directory : it means dont put it in any folder .) Now unpack the rollback package and copy its contents “UPDATE.APP” to the “dload” folder. Use the 3 button combo installation. After your firmware version should now be on “B300” or "test-keys".
2) Remove from dload folder rollback package, extract the ZIP file with MM firmware to the dload folder and use 3 combo button installation.
Or you can use this method : on your phone launch the phone dialer app and dial *#*#2846579#*#*. Next, select Project Menu – > Software upgrade – > SDcard upgrade – > and confirm the flashing process that is about to be initiated.
Good luck!

Yes, you can. Via OTA, or you can use TWRP (Meticulus 3.0.2.0 only ! ) and flash both .zip files. You must download two files:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v80474/f1/full/update.zip
and
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip.
In TWRP set Install, then select memmory SD card, and klick on
update.zip, confirm installation. After, STAY in TWRP, go back to Install, find file ...hw_eu....zip , confirm installation. Then select rebot system. Done!

Try it, but I think, you will get a message "not compatible" . Via dload its impossible, IMO use rather Huawei firmware finder or wait for OTA update.

FF works with proxy fine, but you must first download and install Firmware finder proxy apk. On Nougat use TWRP 3.1.0-2.

Any ideas or a link would to a firmware where I can start would be good,

Thanks foliaje, I have tried WAS-LX1AC432B179 and its not working. The phone boots fine. Basically, I rooted and it tried to update via TWRP and failed. Now trying to restore to stock and getting this error. DO you have a link to the exact firmware that I can try - tried several of them now and its failing.

Ok, I managed to go back to stock by downloading via Firmware Finder. So, dload method via SD Card don't work with this phone or what? Would appreciate if someone can confirm?

Hey foliaje, Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
Let me explain my issue: I have purchased my phone yesterday, it upgraded to 185 (I am assuming it was B183, didn't check) via OTA. Then I almost finished setting up the phone including ROOT but a b187 OTA appeared little bit later but failed because I had TWRP already installed. That's fine, no problem. So wanted to start again like I usually do - download the firmware, put on sd card and off you go......
But the problem with this phone is (and I had quite few Huawei one's including tablets) when I downloaded the full firmware, using the SD card dload method I get "Software Install Failed" but it seemed to have worked when I did it via Firmware Finder (I am on B187 now). So something not right - either something has changed or I need to do something else.
So what's the issue? The only think I can think of here is that you are saying that this phone require a 'service' firmware that does not do authentication or something? Right? I am downloading C432B183 from your link and will see what happens (bit slow).
I really would like to know now so I can get back to stock when I mess things up

OK...I followed as below:
Downloaded http://androidhost.ru/JS
(1) Copied main UPDATE.APP to dload folder
(2) Then renamed WAS-L01A_hw_eu\update_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.app to UPDATE.APP and copied to dload folder
Is above method correct, can we do it in one go?
Anyway, I think it has worked (had to do few reset) but the firmware version was showing WAS-LX1AC432B179 - is that correct? OTA upgraded to WAS-LX1AC432B185

Thanks dude, appreciate your help.
Now - any ideas why the firmware finder firmware's don't work on this phone via dload method?

In the UK and have exact same model. Filmware finder did not work for me also. The one in the link below did though! Its the first download you need. Copy the update.app and the folder 'L01A' to the 'dload' folder on your sd card. Does your phone boot? If so in the dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose software upgrade then sd card update, it will then flash the filmware to pure stock.

Yes, its all good now. Bizarre - Huawei making things difficult now. Which TWRP are you using? Can the TWRP backup function works for you i.e. encryption disabled?
