you must be on b522
Downloading.
I'll have a look at the notes once I have it and see if I can use it in my phone. If so, it will be installed tonight.
If it works, maybe I could upload to needrom so it doesn't need to be in a personal Mega account.
Edit:
It's the files straight from the phone so cannot find any identifying notes to know which ROM it really is.
Edit:
Took a leap of faith, loaded the unzipped files to my dload folder in SD and started the update with the B522 dialer method.
YES!
It worked 100% perfectly, no errors. It's now showing as a JAZZ with software version MT7-C900B560 and kept my files and apps.
So guys, if you have an MT7-TL10 with stock recovery running C900B522, go for it.
You will lose any system mods like root and xposed.
Upgrade operations
Normal upgrade
Step 1. Format the Micro SD card (This operation is optional).
Step 2. Unzip the downloaded package.
Step 3. Copy the contents of the download folder (META-INF & UPDATE.APP) to the dload folder in your SD card. Check if the files copied ok.
Insert the Micro SD card into the handset and power on. Open the Dialler app >
enter:*#*#2846579#*#* -> ProjectMenu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade->
It will reboot to update and then it will optimise once updated, then boot to exactly what it looked like before.
To do a force update (to fix an OS problem), after step 3, power off the phone, insert the Micro SD card into the handset. Press (and hold) the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
When the progress bar stops, the phone will restart automatically.
MANY THANKS TO AHHL :good:
Thank you very much for this @ahhl other TL-10 users who purposely refused to share can choke on their phones with their B560 update. I do hope they get bricked sometime
PS: Can someone help get this to Google drive? Downloading from Mega is a pain on slow networks.

Mine was unlocked bootloader, stock recovery, not rooted. Didn't have access to change anything. I think the key is that it was C900B522 already.
Where does it say what region it is? I can't find it in build.prop
It may just be a common build.

Sorry for my mistake pls....
I have a feeling that the phone flashes to JAZZ MT7C900BXXX because it goes from a region to a common ROM. The lack of a model such as L09 or TL10 is strange. Like the ROMs now are a multipurpose. Not sure.
I now have TWRP 3.0.2.0, doing a backup then will root.

If you're on B900 previously, you probably will be changed to jazz as model number after the update. Also your firmware version will read C900B560. But if you change your region to Europe it will be Huawei MT7-TL10 after the update and will read C432B560 like other European variants. Though nothing else changes. All features remain intact whichever way you decide to go

I have issues with SuperSU.
Which version of SuperSU are people having success with?
I think I will not worry about trying to go systemless.

That worked
I tried four versions of the official Chainfire SuperSU and all bricked my phone. The importance of a TWRP backup cannot be overstated :good:
Now I need to take a new backup each major step. I think I'll end up buying a 128Gb SD for it, the 64Gb is low on space.
Got it to root and ViPER4Android now.
Have to get Xposed working, so far, failure.
I fear I managed to bricked my phone yet again. I tried to upgrade to MM B560 directly from KK B145 using the 1.2 gb full update file. I put the update.zip file in the dload folder and started a local update. The software started upgrading with the following message.
"Huawei software installing DONOT press powerkey or remove battery!
The update went up almost 98% and is stuck there for the last 45 minutes. I dont see any hope that the updrage will ever complete even if I leave it alone for ever. Going by the warning on the screen, I might break the phone, If I long press the power key. Please let me know what I need to do now?

That happened to me going from B331 to B522 at 95% and when I got tired of waiting I held power in, shut down, rebooted and it booted up fine. Maybe all is not lost?
As long as you have recovery it should not be a problem.

Install either via OTA update if you're already on the 1.87 RU ROM like I am. On my device it first wanted to install the update only, about 67MB, but it failed to install; then the next time I checked for updates after reboot through the settings update menu, it downloaded the full file, about 0,99 GB. Then the update went all the way through. SuperSU is lost on the way, I will try if it still works through the recovery installation.
You can also install through Yotaflasher like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247356
Didn't have time to test things out, but it's still Lollipop 5.0, so only bugfixes and some new yotapanel features I guess.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that muchly dude, hadn't checked that for a while.
Update seems to be stability improvements, power efficiency improvements and some yotamirror and panel improvements and features.
Its not 5.1, but it's an update, I'll take it.
And yeah, super glad moved to the RU ROM. Backing up now, will OTA flash update once that's done. SuperSU has been flashable everytime after an update so far so fingers crossed.
All up and running .
I was rooted, running RU 1.87 with TWRP - phone handled it all just fine - downloaded OTA, pressed install - it went to TWRP > flashed stock recovery back over itself > rebooted and installed.
Phone booted up, all working fine. Lost root - simple reboot and flash the SU.zip had sitting there from the last update. Cache and Dalvik wiped for good measure.
Reboot and all is well and back to normal but with a few improvements, lovely.
About as easy as it's even been done really.
Hope everyone else gets to enjoy the update through similarly smooth procedures .
Yeah, I ended up doing a fresh installation plus rooting, everything smooth. I'm never too sure what an update leaves behind.
It's really a great device, hopefully they'll keep updating things for a while. Of course version 6.0 would be welcomed... Apparently, by the numbering they use, next step would be either 1.2.xx with Android 5.1 or 2.x.xx with 6.0. Let's see.
Fair play, I toyed with idea of it, but was fresh from last install and honestly don't have the time to set everything up again.
My hope is they take all their good ideas from this and can at least join someone else in making a great device.
Saw a working bendy phone the other day, lets you turn pages on reading app by bending corner as you would a book etc. I thought if that could be combined with yota tech, then you have damn near the perfect tablet.
Honestly I don't think we'll get 5.1, let alone 6.0. They're refining their ideas in prep for Yotaphone 3, that and the possible tablet are their main focus right now.
Interestingly, the update flashed it's stock recovery over twrp - someone prepared for the possibility of root owners this time around. So they are still paying attention .
So any idea what's the difference between the EU and the RU rom? I mean there has to be some reason they are two separate roms.
To answer my own question: there isn't too many differences between EU and RU roms. I did a diff between the RU1.1.59 and EU1.1.60, and out of 2092 files, roughly 1900 of the files inside system.img were identical. The APKs were slightly different, but only slightly. So probably the difference comes from some differently named resources.
The RU version also has some additional apps which the EU version does not have, such as Esquire, Questions, Strelka and Vector. These are probably the main reason why they have different ROMs. They might only work in Russia.

FYI the difference is essentially the product package configuration (app bundles that are pre-loaded) but there are also some differences between the resources used for the stock apps. One in particular (my personal fav ) is the dialler - the RU variant includes cyrillic characters regardless of language/locale setting (feature). The EU will give you a regular english-only dialler if you're using english locale settings

i'm using this post as a minimalistic guide for myself (so i keep it up with my "discoveries" )
and ofc for been helped by everyone who wants to help me because i am completely new to android world cause this is my first android phone ever!
so.. let's get started!
i downloaded [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
version 1.4.3 doesnt works for me so i downloaded the 1.3 as suggested and worked.
then i enabled the download mode following the procedure:
Turn off the phone, then press and hold the volume down key + the power key at the same time. This should boot you into download mode.

*is installing TWRP a mandatory step?
EDIT: the answer is NO. it seems that the mandatory part is to unlock the bootloader (the bad part for the warranty.. and that can erase ur data..) and this can be done following this guide How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 untill point 6 included - which i am reporting here for easy of use.
How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 said:
How to Flash TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2
1 - Setup ADB and Fastboot on your Windows PC.
2 - Enable USB debugging from developer options on your YotaPhone 2.
3 - Connect it to PC with a USB cable, if it asks for debugging authorization, permit it.
4 - Go to the folder where you downloaded the TWRP recovery image from the download link above on your PC and open a command window inside that folder by doing “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder, then select “Open command window here”.
5 - (Skip this if your bootloader is already unlocked) Now to unlock the bootloader, type in the following command:
└ Beware that unlocking the bootloader may wipe your phone’s data. Make sure to backup first before proceeding.
adb reboot bootloader

└ This will reboot your phone to bootloader mode

NOTE: Russian firmware seems to contain English language. i dont know how to change it later to the favorite one.

The info is described in various posts across the yotaphone forum. Are you rooted? If not then there also many many guides across the internet for that.
Not walking you through the whole process, sorry. We all had to learn, once you do it's all much easier.
It happens also to me...don't panic! press Volume up and the power button and when you enter in the bootloader select the downloading options, it will restart the phone with the "downloading" status
in the meanwhile with the yotaflasher select the option to downloads a firmware and try a different one. When the download is finished try to flash once again.

I placed like you the rom downloaded through website in the firmware folder and flash got wrong. I was blocked on "powered by android" logo like you.
After this almost-bricking experience, I flashed 4.4.3 downloaded all through Flasher and phone was working again.
Then I tried to substitute 5.0 system.img in the folder downloaded through Flasher but no way... after flashing phone didn't boot.
I reflashed 4.4.3 back again and now is working.
I think that we can't put files in folder for Yota Flasher...

*i checked for update on the phone in setting--> about phone --> sistem update
*it downloaded lollipop (android 5.0 Lollipop - 1Gb to download) :laugh:
*i took the 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip and flashed it
*u can choose english when the phone boot so dont worry about firmware to be RU
*i checked the firmware version doing the combo "Volume up and the power button" (press it while restarting)
*i changed the language of the phone in setting --> language (there is plenty of languages to choose. i choose mine, italian, but sometimes it happens to find something in english )
i downladed some app etc etc but i never used it for calls cause of the requested nano sim that i'm going to take tomorrow probably cause today i get stucked with trouble about my contacts.

Hello! I have 5.0!
After flashing and old version of 4.4.3 (my phone went with a 4.4.something branded Vodafone Italy, and they evidently don't give a fork about updates). With the 4.4.3 rev 1.0.51a I immediately received he update to 1.0.56a: I downloaded the 114MB, rebooted, and then got the update to 1.0.61a, around 63MB. I rebooted and then got finally the update to 5.0, 1GB :laugh:
I have only one problem now: the device doesn't recognize when I'm looking at the ink screen, and power button powers on the amoled... Even unlocking through swiping from bottom to top doesn't work. Option is correctly set, I tried to uncheck, reboot, wipe cache and check the option again but it not working well yet.

seems that is the same for a lot of people if not everyone..
cause of this problem i am using this app gravity screen on/off.
it halves the problem cause now i have no problem for the amoled. and for problem i mean use the pwer button instead of simply swipe.
for the e-ink panel i still have to use the power button, only way it works.
Hi
I'm struggling with updating my P8 Lite (Austria, single sim) and I would appreciate your help.
I downloaded the newest firmware C432B170 from the Austrian Huawei website but I just can't update.
Tried with the Updater's local update but it didn't work.
Tried with force update and that didn't work too.
I have unlocked bootloader, root and TWRP.

I have unlocked bootloader, root and TWRP.
Can somebody help me out??

Ok, so this i fearly easy... (once you know it).
the problem is that you tried installing a European dual sim build on a Austria single sim build.
That's not gonna work does it?
1. make sure your device is a Ale-L21 (settings -> about phone -> modelnumber)
2. boot into twrp and wipe everything except sd card.
3. boot into bootloader (twrp can help you with it or just plug your device into the computer and power it on while holding volume down)
4.download this file
5. open the 'FLASH ALL' file in the folder and read the instructions on your screen
6. boot up your device and see that you have the balong bug and no reception. (settings -> about phone in the buildnumber it should say balongXXXXX)
7. take the file in the attachement of this post and unzip it
8. put the unzipt directory in the root of your sd/internal memory
9. go to settings->upgrade->menu->lokal update
10.select 'UPDATE.APP'
11.wait for it to start.
12.once it starts the balong should be gone in buildnumber
13. use the updater to update trough b170 if that doesn't work download it here and extract it and set it in a folder named dload on your sd/internal memory (delete the first file first) the do a lacal update to b170.
14 eat a sandwich because this is gonna take some time and by now you should be hungry
15. everything should work now. you should have 2 imei's and receptions.
make sure you got minimal adb installed (normally you do)
if you have location issues you can chance it by following this thread.

yes it's dual sim...
about the imei's i really don't now.
never had a single sim myself but it could be that you only have one. and yes you should upgrade dual sim software from now

I moved the file to the root directory and did a recovery reboot and it updated from there.. thanks!! Now the option to update is in my settings drawer.
I have X820 Chinese ROM since the day I purchased my phone and haven't touched the ROM since. If I update to the newest India ROM, will I lose all apps and data? Or will it just flash like an update and not affect data and apps?
You can make updating manually over stock recovery or custom recovery. It is very easy work.
But will I lose my apps and data or not?

I don't have tons of experience on this device yet...
but when I installed 16S onto 15S and was ready to loose the work I had already done (installed quite a few apps, not yet tons of data or settings), I didn't lose any app nor data (including Google setup and WLAN hotspots). However the 16S variant couldn't handle German, so most things came out in an odd mixture of English and Chinese.
I changed the language to English and had the Chinese parts translate to English as well, which I considered helpful.
16S is loaded with LeTV specific stuff which is all about pushing chinese LeTV content and which turned out difficult to disable, mostly because I couldn't tell which parts were important (can't read Chinese), so I quickly decided I needed to go back to the original "international" version, which still mixes some English into other European languages.
I didn't actually have a 15S ROM image, so I can't tell if a downgrade works as seamlessly, instead I restored my TWRP recovery.
That deactivated my WLAN, which gave me a couple of horrible moments, but a second restore (perhaps including EFF) got it back and I hesitate to repeat the procedure for a more detailled analysis of what happened to the WLAN.
Good Job..!
Thanks for the Advise :good:

PLK-L01C432B190 (for B180): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G939/g104/v51796/f1/full/update.zip
Just put the .zip file in your dload folder and do local update.
This update fixes issues related to icons and input methods and improves system security with the latest Google security patches. [Fixes] Fixed an issue where the Google input method can't be used when the system language is set to Serbian. Fixed an issue where the icon for the calendar downloaded from the Google Play Store and system calendar icon are the same. [Optimizations] Deleted the Huawei browser (with the Google browser remaining unchanged) for a better user experience. All user data from the Huawei browser, except for bookmarks, will be deleted. Bookmarks will be imported to the Google Chrome after you update your device. Improved device security with the latest Google security patches. Deleted quick sharing of application installation packages and images to ensure their legal use. [Update notes] 1. Before the update, make sure your phone has not been rooted. If you experience any issues during the update, please go to http://consumer.huawei.com/ or visit an authorized service center for assistance. 2. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.

Hello,
Did you tried it ? 'Cause except for the security patch, i dont' think this update worth it, am i right ?
I think people who were in that version didn't got any update to B37x.
To my (limited) knowledge B180>B370 excluding betas.
in my case failed at 9% and I do not want to reset phone... staying at b180

Yes, the screenshot taken from my phone
@zinko_pt I got B371 update notification 1.18 GB in size.
@Ing.King really strange, i did it without any issue.
By the way guys, I just released it. It's up to you, updating or not..
We who had only B371 couldn't either update. Where and when will we get B30?

Really soo weird, I installed it at once without facing any problem.
It doesn't need a clean B180 rom because I installed it over my usual rom. It wasn't clean.
Something must be wrong in somewhere... but where?
Back here again..
No good news, tried to instal via sd, same issue, fail at 6%
But, but, but there might be a reason, i flashed the sdk21 of xposed, and idk how to remove it.. maybe this is the cause of it....
When you installed, you had to : unroot & put the recovery back ? Or you where "clean"
I'll try tomorrow, with a rest head

Oh, when I was saying "not clean" I meant installed apps and my all data
And yes, my rom was clean if we consider root and recovery condition.

Hi,
Hmmm so maybe the xposed package.rar i've flashed made this error
Well, i'll try when i receive the H8
Or maybe i had to put the recovery of B100 instead of B180 :/
Edit 1 : When i check the local.prop, there is "ro.dual.sim.phone=false" or the PLK-L01 is a dual sim, so i don't understand ^^
Edit 2 : Flash with TWRP =
MD5's missing
coming from B180 stock /rooted /xposed.....
1.) i flashed all possible partitions i had extracted (HuaweiExtractor) from B180. (system; cust; boot; recovery)
2.) reboot
3.) i flashed full rom B180 from folder dload (vol up&down&power) to be sure to get really all parts of firmware!
4.) reboot
5.) local update b190.zip from folder dload
6.) reboot
7.) i flashed twrp rc3 with fastboot to recovery partition
8.) had rooted and installed xposed now
all works as expected! Now i am on B190.
at least i had to install some modifications to system again and recover my data partition (twrp)
all in all nearly 1 hour hard work!

Hi,
In fact you just cleaned up your B180 in order to instal the 190 ?
The "real" B180
Pure stock if i could say ? Sure, it will work, but i tried to install it without getting back to stock^^
uff 1 hour to achieve upgrade... pity that I have to do factory reset to make upgrade to b190, no root no open bootloader no changes to firmware despite all this I cannot upgrade normal way... very sad, bad job honor(huawei)
because i had made a backup of my apps and data with the HUAWEI backup app (update to version from PlayStore is necessary!) recovery was easy! Had to remove some blood ware and unused apps only!
then reinstalled PMplus; managed autostart and apps they should stay on if screen is off.
reinstalled my google account
all in all a little bit more than 1 hour like i told you
now i am on b190 rooted; xposed and xprivacy activ on; and of curse Viper4Android for better sound.
real easy!

How did you update it? if you were rooted then you have to flash img files manually first before doing a three button update.

Yes, as B371 is the latest one so they will push B371 only, now there are no incrementals. But I have put up a thread here, maybe sometime later I'll post the OTAs too.

Detailed guide to downgrade from Nougat (unofficial or beta) to Official Marshmallow.
Saw many users struggling with unofficial Nougat update (via firmware finder) and were looking for downgrade procedure (on Facebook, honor community and on XDA) to go back to stable and official Marshmallow version from Beta/stable stock Nougat version. Below method is thoroughly checked personally by me for more than 5-6 times and I am writing this detailed step by step guide for downgrade.
Prerequisites-
Non-rooted phone (no changes to the system partition and bootloader made)
Make sure you are running the Nougat version B3XX (not custom ROM)
Make sure you are on stock recovery.
Make sure to take full backup of the data and apps as this downgrade process will erase all your data and will wipe the internal memory. (you can use this backup to restore your contacts, call/sms logs, app with data, your home screen layout etc.)
Make sure your device is charged to at least 50%.
SD card with minimum 4 GB free space (as main product package is around 2.77 GB in size)
Let’s start the process.
Updating product transfer package-
Download the update.app product transfer package for Honor 5C device from link https://goo.gl/KYZ3Pd
Create a folder dload in the root directory of your SD card.
Copy the update.app package which you just downloaded to dload folder.
Power off the phone.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button.
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically
.
Updating the main product package (Marshmallow B151 package)
Delete the old dload folder from SD card. (which had transfer package file of size 69 MB) - Do not forget to delete this folder or rename it or else the same file will be keep on flashing again and again.
Download the full version package from the link https://goo.gl/8d4s73
Copy the entire folder with UPDTAE.APP file in it to root directory of SD card.
Power off the phone.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button.
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.
During restart, phone will verify the system image.
This verification and 1st boot may take upto 4-5 minutes so do not panic.
Once the phone is booted and up, it will ask for the initial setup like language, wifi, agreement etc.
Validation-
Once the phone is setup, go to setting—about phone—check the android version and build number to verify you are running on Android Marshmallow version.
NOTE:
This process will completely erase your data, so make sure to have a backup before proceeding further.
This process will downgrade your phone to Android marshmallow, EMUI 4.1.2 and B151.
I have personally tested this method and downgraded my phone to marshmallow without any issue (10+ times)
If you follow the guide correctly, you should not face any issue with condition that all the Prerequisites are met and you followed the steps in order.
If anyone still have any doubt or a slight hesitation, please feel free to ask in the comment before proceeding and risking your phone.
I have a doubt
Hi shashank,
I am using honor 5c Indian version running in naugat. My phone is very slow. If I downgrade to Android 6.0 will get speed??. Because my handset was smooth when it was marshmallow......
