Hello there.
I tried to flash 6.0 by ADB and got bootlooped so I came back to B170 then tried to do update to B188 but at 5% it throws error ("software install failed") so I got few questions:
1. How do I fix the Balong bug? I have heard something about "firmware" folder but don't know how do I do it.
2. Can I upgrade to 6.0 without having sd card?
3. How do I fix error when installing via local update? It never works for me, always throws errors, maybe I should get different recovery or something?
Thanks from above.
1. 3. In firmware archive,there are 2 folders: one folder contais the firmware and one folder named vendor/custom. Flash the file from vendor/custom folder via local update and you get rid of balong bug and you can update to 6.0 after.
2. Yes, dload folder on internal memory it's the same

The firware update that I downloaded extacted without a dload folder and to anyone who gets to that stage just create a new folder call dload in the root dir of your sdcard.You need to copy UPDATA.APP and unlmt.cfg into this folder.
Important note.
DO NOT COPY once.cfg
If you do then the update will write version number into the OEMINFO area of the device and
NO FURTHER UPGRADE WILL BE POSSIBLE
Were did you get the firmware update?
The Huawei Firmware Finder app indicates that there is an OTA update for the Tab (BTV-DL09C100B009). It is 424 MB. I could download it but I don't know how to install it. The zip contains several .dat files and two folders besides the 'UPDATE.APP' file.
Meanwhile the Tab's own HiCare app cannot find any update.
My version number is still BTV-DL09C100B006.
Some help would be appreciated.
Just follow the steps of Firmware finder
1. ckick rom
2. click download
3.click chek MD5
4. click move to DLOAD
5. tunoff device
6. Press ALTOGETHER : Vol UP + Vol DOWN + POWER
wait a few seconds and MUI screen apears to install Firmware
Thanks, but in this case (incremental OTA) it does not seem to be the right solution.
The Firmware Finder copies only the update.app to the dload folder. That file is just 75 MB from the 433-MB-big whole package. The rest of the files and folders inside the ZIP are omitted.
So, another method should be used but I don't know what.

You can try to unpacked update after point 3 and before point 4 that SJGSM wrote!

YES sorry I missed Step 4.
You have 5 steps in Firmware Finder:
1. CHANGELOG
2. DOWNLOAD
3. CHECK MD5
4. UNPACK UPDATE
5. MOVE TO DLOAD
Any way it is always better to Install FULL FIRMWARE Rather than Incremental UPDATE, It only takes a few minutes longer but you have a FULL FIRMWARE UPDATE with all your data saved.
You can also use Firmware Finder for Windows and donwload your firmware, then you just have to copy the UNPACKED File UPDATE.APP to the: ( dload ) folder in your External SD

If you have already UNZIPPED the download file, Just copy ALL the UNZIPPED files to an dload Folder in your Externalñ SD. If you dont have one Just create a New Folder in your ExtSD and RENAME it : dload
Then Power OFF and press: (Vol Up +Vol DOWN + POWER ) and the system will recognize the UPDATE.APP file in the MUI screen

I did exactly the same what you wrote. And I flashed the update with the method you suggested. Everything went smoothly - seemingly.
(I am not totally noob, this is the fifth Huawei device I've been handling. My current phone is Huawei P9 Plus and I've put on all the new ROM versions 'by hand' becauce OTA did not come.)
But something was wrong because
a) the update process went through too fast, just a couple of seconds from 0 to 100%.
b) the version number has not changed. I still have BTV-DL09C100B006,
c) the dload folder and the whole extracted package in it were not deleted after the process, remained on the SD card.
So I suspect that only the UPDATE.APP was installed, the rest of the package not. The M3 now keeps working normally but unfortunately there is one problem: the tab lost its 4G (LTE) capability after the update, now the phone radio works only in 3G and/or GSM mode.
You are right, a full ROM flashing is always better, more secure but there is NO full ROM available for this Tab! I've searched the whole net and found only OTAs for the M3. I'd like to get back the normal functionality because I bought the device exactly to have quick access to the internet everywhere.
So I don't know what to do. If you or somebody else could find a full ROM for the device I'd be very grateful!
Problem solved!
Problem solved!
Earlier I tried to update the M3 with HiSuite but there was no package available at that time. Now, after my unsuccessful manual update, I connected the Tab to my notebook again and ran HiSuite. And voilá: now it offered the B009 update.
The install went without problem and now I have BTV-DL09C100B009. The LTE data capability came back, and everything works well so far.
Anyway, thanks to those who tried to help!
I have downloaded a firmware file from firmware finder but I didn't see anywhere how to check MD5. The file unzipped OK but I don't want to install until I check MD5. Where is the MD5 information for each download firmware?

I found a site with a tutorial on how to install Android 7.0 on P9 lite.On version VNS-L31C636B361 there are 3 files, and acording to them, you need to follow these steps:
Extract the contents of the zip files you downloaded from above.
Create a folder named “dload” in the root directory of your device’s SDcard.
Copy all the extracted contents of the zips into the dload folder.
Open the dialer app and dial *#*# 2846579#*# *
Select Project Menu > Software upgrade > SDcard upgrade > confirm the installation.
The firmware will begin installing and once that is done your device will reboot automatically.
But the problem is, if I extract all the contents from all 3 files, some of them have the same name and overwrite, and when I try to install by *#*# 2846579#*# *, it stops after 5% and gives me fail error.
What is the correct way to install and why are there 3 separate files ? (also, do I need to have some settings ? the phone should be connected to PC while installing ? )
Thank you very much!
What model you have?
Seems you have another oeminfo...
i have the same problem, it runs now on version vns-l31c432b161, if a want to install android 7 i get the same message as above

EDIT: i tried again and it stucks on 5%, doesnt say anything.
Good to know!
If you are in MM 6.0 you can not go to Nougat 7.0 without some preparation until Huawei release official version.
I you are already in Nougat 7.0 (B3xx) you can go to B360-B361, directly with Sdcard upgrade or with three keys pressed method.
U dint answer my question though.Let me be more clear.
Here is a tutorial on how to install Android 7.0 on P9 Lite: http://www.droidviews.com/update-huawei-p9-lite-manually-official-android-7-0-nougat-emui-5-0/
On my model, there are 3 files:
4. VNS-L31C636B361
update.zip
update_data_full_VNS-L31_B360_hw_meafnaf.zip
update_data_full_VNS-L31_B361_hw_meafnaf.zip
and they say
Extract the contents of the zip files you downloaded from above.
Create a folder named “dload” in the root directory of your device’s SDcard.
Copy all the extracted contents of the zips into the dload folder.
But some of the files from these 3 .zips have the same name, and when I copy them in the same folder, they overwrite.
Is that tutorial sh1t ?

Hi, can I flash Asian frimware on NEM-L22 B330 Indian frimware.
Does it cause any problems to my phone .
Pls tell me.
Hi guys, so I am relatively new to customising your phone and was wondering if someone could explain whether it is possible to upgrade from my current version (GRA-L09V100R001C900B118), as when I use the phone to check for any updates it says there are none available.
I have read that I need to upgrade first to B200 and then can upgrade to Marshmallow, is this correct?
Cheers!
Yes, it should be possible to manually update.
If your phone is network-branded, you'll need to debrand first, so carefully follow the steps in this thread: Clean debranding P8 (GRA-L09). Then follow the steps below from B200 onwards.
-------------------------
If your phone is not network-branded, follow this guide instead:
Ensure you phone has at least 50% battery power remaining. A separate microSD card (formatted to FAT32 with at least 4Gb capacity) & PC/laptop/similar system is also preferred. Plus, if necessary, do a thorough prior backup of your texts, messages, photos, music, etc as applicable (if unsure, backup anyway).
First you need to install B170 (Lollipop, EU version) - direct full download from here to your computer: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=49884&version=118243
From the above downloaded file, extract the 'dload' folder (contains a single, large file called UPDATE.APP - leave as it is), connect phone to computer with the USB charging cable & copy this dload folder to your inserted microSD card (you may need to enable 'Developer options' & 'USB debugging' to be able to do this - follow this guide if necessary). Once completely copied over, disconnect phone from your computer, then select: Settings > Update > Local update. Once the updating process starts, do not interrupt or shut-off or manually reboot the phone.
After the above is completed, & your phone automatically reboots, verify it has been installed by visiting Settings > About phone > Build number.
Reconnect phone & delete the UPDATE.APP file from the SDcard/dload folder, but let the empty dload folder itself remain.
Next download & install B200 (Lollipop, EU version) - direct full download: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=68483&version=238533
After extracting, copy the UPDATE.APP file only to the phone's SDcard/dload folder. Then repeat ALL the steps above from disconnecting the phone to letting the empty dload folder itself remain.
After installing B200, you could be offered a Marshmallow update (B382/B390 or above) directly via OTA - in other words, check via Settings > Update > Check for updates.
If not, download & manually install B397 (Marshmallow, EU version) (main thread for reference here).
Direct full download: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v85383/f1/full/update.zip
After extracting & copying the UPDATE.APP file only to the phone's SDcard/dload folder & disconnecting the phone, using the phone's dialler, type *#*#2846579#*#* to access the Project Menu., then select 4. Software Upgrade > 1. SDCard Upgrade
Once complete, your P8 GRA-L09 should now have the very latest European Marshmallow firmware version. All future updates need to be done with the 'dialler' method as mentioned in the last update procedure. Remember to delete/replace the previous UPDATE.APP file with its newer version each time & disconnect the phone before running the update procedure. Also, only download & use the 'full' update files (not the smaller OTA ones).
