[PLK-UL00] Official ROM B352

Hello
I've managed to download an update for B201 to MM B352, using a Chinese proxy.
If anyone wants to play with it, just download it from here:
https://mega.nz/#!wwMTFTjS!1z9xygbiNTO66_zkwxOHtw9SLI_EQVTRzUZU-kh2BSo
Save it on internal storage or SD and go to Settings -> Updater -> Menu -> Local Update to apply it.
This is *not* an update to be applied using TWRP or 3btn method.
When I installed it my phone was using stock recovery, bootloader was unlocked and it was not rooted.
After installing it everything works fine, TWRP works fine, but it will stop working after installing SuperSU.
Not sure why.
So, right now, I'm back to Lollipop B201, which is geat.
UPDATE: using SYSTEMLESS install for SuperSU I was able to install it.
Now I have everything working, including notifications.
Regards.

Yes, I have the same problem, but after installing SuperSU
You have to use fastboot mode and run multi-tool unbrick method.

I have stock rom, with stock recovery. How can i do? How can put the Phone in fastboot mode?

i'm still blocked from that day. with a phone that doesn't go in fastboot and remain with the honor logo.
but a full firmware of marschmallow?

Is this *REALLY* meant for UL-00?
Hi there
Efforts much appreciated mate ...
Looking at all the bootlooped replies - is this firmware *really* meant for the PLK UL-00 (India version)?
OTA doesn't show any B352; nor does the official websites... B341 seems to be the latest firmware for the Indian variant.
So .... Just wondering - is it some typo ? Is this meant for some other variant of Honor 7 ? CL-00 maybe? ... Even the older B201 you have mentioned in the OP - isn't among the firmware builds that the Indian UL-00 has come through... i think.
--
Would be nice to see some changelog or a screenshot or something

If it is a typo error, please do change it in the title.

Hi
There are two variants of version UL00, C17 from China and C675 from India.
I have the one from China, it's dual SIM.

Hey I have got the Indian Version B341. I just wanted to share a problem that I am facing.
My phone is slow charging due to update perhaps. Earlier the phone used to charge really fast now it takes more than 2 hours and sometimes even close to 3 hours.
I have tried Hardware Reset but was not of much help.
Has anyone solved this problem. Btw I am using 5V2A charger, supplied with the device, which took very little time to charge earlier. And also when the phone is switched off it charges really fast but the phone heats up a lot.

Right...
The firmware in the phones we got (the single SIM Indian variant of UL00) does indeed say C675 - I just checked after your screen shot.
Thanks

So, i am still wondering - is this firmware gonna brick the C675 single sim variant?

Replace PLK-UL00 Chinees version with PLK-L01 EU version
Hi,
did anyone try to replace the PLK-UL00 Chinese version with PLK-L01 EU version, is this possible without bricking the phone ?
I have rooted my PLK-UL00C17 (Dual SIM) with TWRP 3.0.2.0 Recovery for PLANK, running build PLK-UL00_6.5.16 from 1 May 2016, Titanium Backup and SuperSU Free v2.62
I tried to get rid of the Chinese stuff, but no luck, it keeps popping up everywhere.
So is it possible to replace the Chinese firmware / ROM with the EU firmware / ROM ?
Thanks,

This update bootlooped my phone and now I can't fix it.. £200 paperweight now

It depends from ur carrier if u have correct region where update is avaiable via consumer.huawei.com so yes u can.:good: but if u try to update from not ur region so I think its not recommended.

You need to upgrade to b170 first in order to go to 6.0

yes you can.... I've also done it from C185B160 to C185B524

If you can't update directy to b170, you need to flash via fastboot b52, then install local update b170 then update to b551

First you download c185b170 rom and then you update locally i.e. by placing the update.app file in a folder named dload (create one if its not there) then copy the entire folder to root of your internal memory (the one you see when you open file manager)..
Then you can either update by going to updater and via parameters where you select local update, or you can update by following way:
Dial *#*#2846579#*#* on your dialer,

Yes you can update to 6.0 normally from c185b160 b130 to c185b524
just download the update.zip put into (dload) folder or make one

I'm on c185b180 (Android 5.0.2) and I didn't receive any updates. Can I upgrade directly to b525 from the link you've provided? and is it safe?

Sorry to go off topic in this thread, but some of you guys might have already have the latest firmware (B564 or B565) so I have to ask a quick question. Is the unlock screen animation removed in those firmwares?
Right now im on B550 and when I swipe away the unlock screen, the menu icons have an animation (like they are dropping in, similar to iOS) and I love it, but I heard that this animation is removed after B550.

Thank you four your reply, I upgraded my phone to Marshmallow yesterday and everything was working smoothly as expected, until I've faced a huge battery drain on phone idle (about 25% overnight) and this wasn't happening with B180, no idea what was causing this tho WIFI, Mobile Data and GPS were off.

In order to concentrate all the discussion in one thread, I started this one, so please let's try to keep all info in one place!
For those who have your devices with root, please use the rollback packages to go back to b131 and relock your bootloader (necessary?!) before trying to update.
If you haven't receive the update notification yet, try to force it via the HiCare app:
- Make sure you have the latest version of the HiCare app
- Go to services
- Choose the option to early adopters (if you don't have this option, go to Me > Settings > Location and choose another nearby location and try again)
- check if there is a notification of a new update
- accept and follow the instructions
- if everything is ok, you should get the notification update on the update app
If you haven't receive the update yet, don't panic, as always, not everyone receives the update at the same time, we should only expect it to come out on February, so if we are getting it now we can only be patient and happy
For those who don't want to wait for the update via Hicare/Updater, check this thread that can help you getting the update using Charles app method.
PS: It's not mandatory, but it's recommended to do a backup before the update (via HiSuite) and perform a factory reset after the update!
PS2: It's always kind to say thank you! by words and pushing the Thanks button bellow

you can try to change the base country of the HiCare app, just go to Me > settings > location and try with Belgium or Italy for example (it will not change the language of the app!) Probably it won't work, but you don't loose a lot of time trying it

find your correct firmware in th app, than go into your default system update and the file should be there
I had to restart the phone because the download wouldn't start, but it did following the restart
it asked to update, took like 5 mins to update, was on 65% for a min or 2 and I was getting worried
but it worked out
warning, If you brick or phone blows up I am not liable, do at your own risk

I think this B521 is 7.0 Beta, final Nougat is B560.

doesnt work for me on L29C185. doesnt list anything nor does updater app detect any new update.

I have c185 and it shows that i can download B560, but when I try to update, it stops at +/- 40%. My current system is B320. Do i have to get back on B190 to update?

My phone (used in the USA) is L29C185B180, and it shows a BUNCH of updates. Full & OTA.
I've downloaded and unpacked...but it's hard to drop the hammer and install. All of Huawei's
software says I have the latest official, so not sure if I will install or just wait a month for Huawei
to "officially" release it on their software updater.

I first installed NXT-L09C432B560 v74088 with Firmware finder for windows, then I installed the OTA update dated 03.01.2017 and filesize 431mb from Firmware finder from the phone. If you are going to install from phone, i would install the largest OTA dated 03.01.2017, then the smaller OTA with the same date after that. I tried installing one of the OTA's dated 20.01.2017 and ended up with test-keys build, had to downgrade to be able to flash the proper one.

Dear developers, My set was on NXT-L29C636B211 and I have successfully download the latest B521 firmware ,unpack and dbload created just need some confirmation before flash the firmware.
I would to know it's an official firmware ,warranty status and will it get any OTA in the future ?

What build were you on. Just double checking...since I'm at 180, can I jump all the way to the 560 build?
One other question, is this one dumping everything and setting it back to stock? No biggie...got everything
backed up...just don't have enough time to set it all back up this evening.

I Didn't download the OTA, I downloaded the full 2.2gb firmware from that app
the phone is now waaaaaaaaay better, and battery is even better

I have bootloader unlocked and root. Do I need to relock bootloader in order to use this method?

I was on L29C636B221 with rooted and TWRP. I used the Firmware Finder app to download L29C636B521 and update it to Nougat. It updated fine. I wanted to do a factory reset so I did. Half way through, reset was failed, but the phone was able to boot in. Now, it has no Gboard (sideloaded it fine) and the Build Number is NRD90M test-keys. Everything else work fine.
Any suggestion? should I dload it back to L29C636B221?

I can't get it to work.Here is a video of what I did start to finish.
https://youtu.be/T1A825NI2wQ
I tried the 2 560 and the 520 ones using the firmware finder and proxy add-on. The update doesn't start downloading until you switch off the local host proxy setting. Once it is complete and it reboots to update it fails at 1% and I reboot back to my 320 firmware.
I have l29c185b320 firmware currently.

Hi, thanks for the heads up. Can you confirm if themes work(navigation keys especially) properly on Nougat? Or any other missing features, thanks again.

Hi I am from India using xa ultra f3212.. I got the nougat update notification and tired to install.. But failed 3 times thro mobile data and 3 times thro Xperia companion.. All the times the whole update got downloaded as the internet is not an issue but while installing it stops and says could not install.. I see many reported this prob in fb but they say the issue is with weak internet but I have good connection. So what is the problem. Also I tired to root my device thro flastool and with few apks so my question is, are these things need to worried for my failed updating. But I didn't root my device as all the methods fail. Again a question, now can I use ftf file downloaded from xpiri firm and use flash tool to flash in my mob.. Mob is bootloader locked... Suggestions and advice please

Confirmation of receiving Nougat in Egypt. No FCs or any visible bugs till now.
On the other hand better fluidity in UI and better overall UX especially with the much better ram management, that keeps app in memory for a longer time compaed to 6.0.

Is there a way of forcing the update? I don't think my carrier cares about the updates.

first you need to hard reset your phone,go to settings-backup and reset-factory data reset....after your phone restart then search again for software update and download the update...now it should work

I did the factory reset but nothing is happening...now it says your already on the latest software....
I am not even getting the updated notification...

Is the update for F3215 available?
Also, my bootloader is locked and if the OTA is not available, can I sideload the update?

it is available mate.. I would suggest you should use flashtool in upgrading if you experience errors on other update method.. good luck

Thanks!
The update isn't region-specific right? I'm worried that it comes with its own baseband and won't work on my carrier.
Btw, does the flashtool update format the internal memory / does a factory reset?
Sorry, lots of questions, this is my first Sony android device.
TIA

The update is region dependent,and its better to use wifi when u search for software update because some careers dont allow high data to download and your phone will say you already have the latest update...and yes xperia flashtool will format your internal memory if you want just check Wipe --User Data

Thanks buddy!
Now, as for Wifi to download the firmware..mine says its up to date already, but obviously it isn't. Now, if I get one from Xperifirm specific to F3215, would it work perhaps? You see, my carrier don't care about updates.
EDIT: I forgot one important thing: mine's Bootloader Unlockable NO
Would it matter?

Well it seems that xperifirm deleted the nougat update from their server, maybe is something temporary, but there are already many sites who can provide you nougat for your Xperia, just Google it

Guess nougat is stopped for both xa and xa ultra by Sony temporarily.. so those who haven't updated needs to wait again .. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/how-to/sony-mobile-stop-android-7-0-nougat-t3624982

would there be a way to update from a rooted firmware and keep root when a stable 7.0 is released?
