Ne firmware from Huawei Ru
http://consumer.huawei.com/ru/suppo...x.htm?id=36521&pname=MT7-TL10&pcode=Jazz-TL10
Release date 26/01
Should be for international TL10
No chance log
Has someone tested?
Just did the update. It went well, no problem, I'm yet to find any difference from the previous ones.
Does the phone, with it's very large screen, still show LESS information than a smaller phone? C'mon, the software on this thing totally sucks. I have a giant screen with such ridiculous font spacing, meaning I get less information on my 6-inch screen than I can get on a 5-inch model such as a P6. What kind of sad joke is this?
Does the new software fix this problem? If not, I have a mint Mate 7 for sale, used only long enough to see Huawei has made no progress with their software.

Thank you but this update is for Russia. I am also using the same version but when I click on updater, it gives me a message that no update available... May be they have released update for your region but not yet for us. Right now I am on B120 SP04.

I'm from the Philippines and I downloaded the B121 firmware from the link above and flashed it on my phone, I extracted and put the dload folder in my external SD card and did a local update via the updater under menu options, nothing was erased after except for root, so I rooted my phone again via CWM.
By the way, I also have the MT7-TL10 32gb/3gb version and did not get any updates from the updater, i was also in B120 SP04 before I flashed the B121.

I'm running Chinese version MT7-TL10 V100 R001 CHN C00 B122 SP06 and could not "downgrade" to this international version. I just get an "update failed". Any ideas how to go back a step so I can get the international version?

Why do you want to downgrade? I was having some thought on updating my firmware to that of the Chinese version.
You can flash the firmware manually through adb, you'll need to extract the firmware. There are other threads in here that discusses about that.
My Italian Mt7 TL10 failed b121 update
I tried locL update, from recovery and by Hisuite
All failed, didnt even start

I want to downgrade because the Chinese version has issues. I have owned many HW phones and running a Chinese load is always a PITA. I want a normal international load that does not perpetually harass me with Huawei store stuff, that does not provide its own broken Calendar and Mail app, and that lets me manage my SIM cards correctly since I need dual SIM support to work in a specific way.
Unfortunately, I read the instructions for installing an international load over top of a Chinese load. I don't want to root my device, have never rooted a device, don't know how, don't want to know how, etc. It seems I am stuck. Even if I changed my mind, the instructions are not newbie level, so I very much doubt I could follow instructions that are not step-by-step "press this", "type that", unless I devote a lot of research. I could buy a new phone for cheaper than the time I would invest in this.
Gimme instructions

I bought a russian version of the phone and after many times of ROM's flashing I ended up with chinise B122. Now I also want to migrate to European version and do not know how. It's not a problem for me to get a root and I also can try to dig dipper to figure out how to make the downgrade. Can you be so kind and provide me with a link for instructions you read, please, so I can try it myself. Thank you.

Ah! I'm PLK-L01C432B121 so I'm guessing that's B121 then?
I tried the updater and it said no updates available so is B121 the up to date firmware for the UK??
Also, does this updater update the firmware as well as the Android operating system i.e Lollypop to Marshmallow ?
yes, it's exactly what it does

u will get a file called Update and so u will creat a new foldar in sd card or in ur phone and u have to change the name to dload and u will put the Update inside and so u finsh u will go to uppdate center and then menu and then local and so u will find the file press on it and so the phone will restart and will finsh it self and then do the same thing again to the next update.
impo Note:
u have to unroot if u are rooted

Ha! Great minds thinking alike! I haven't used the links above (yet) as further checking on the Honor site under downloads still listed the B121 as the latest update from late last year. Think my plan will be to hang fire and see if it updates to Marshmallow in the coming weeks like the web is saying it will.

Yes, i think to wait as well as i read some threads about dead phones after manual updates and i don't want to lost my new phone
EDIT: I didn't hold on and i flashed the updater file (B121>B140) that you can find it here. I flashed it and all went well.
EDIT 2: I've also flashed 140>170 zip and so far so good is better than 121 initially version.
Edit 3: I'm going to install as well 170>180 update from general section
Edit 4 (FINAL): Upgraded, satisfied, chrome is not lagging so frequently any more and now i can access online theme store. Before once opened the theme app it only showed me the local themes available
So I've searched for a answer but nothing worked.
I have the ALE-L21 model, and it bootloop-ed when I was trying to root the phone.
I've tried to put an update from the sd card by pressing volume up and down + power button and it just said failed from the start.
I've tried entering fastboot mode and flashing boot.img, recovery.img, but i it didn't worked.
Sorry for the bad english, please help me.
first off all...
Whe need al little more information.
dual/single sim?
What build number are you on?
Did you unlock your bootloader? (i think that's your problem)
do you have a goldfish?
If you can answer these questions we can help you
Hi! I have same issue with my P8 Lite single sim from Vodafone. Before i went into bootloop i had B181 branded software.
My bootloader is locked (how i can get unlock code when emui site is down?). Is there any way to rescue my phone without unlocking bootloader?
Maybe it will be possible to flash (vol+,vol-,power) it once again with vodafone rom, but i can't find it anywhere.
Thanks for support.

I'm not 100% sure now but it should be ALE-L21C432B133_Europe Channel_single Software from official huawei site
In that build there should be a floder named vendor with an small update.app in it. put that one in your sdcard/internal memory and go trough settings-> updater-> menu-> local update and select that. let it do and everything should be fine

Everything works, thank you so much but it seems that this ROM is bit laggy and when I'm tryning to delete some ****ty games it's restarting and games remain.
Can i update it now to Android 6.0? Will it be possible via OTA? Right now i have info that my current version is latest one.

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

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?

Heyho,
if u have an L31, go to my FTP (oeminfo) and go a few folders back, then u'll find a Huawei folder there are several versions stored.

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?

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...^^

Hi all,
I've had my P9 Lite for about 10 months now and I haven't recieved one system update yet. I've been waiting for the OTA system update for EMUI 5.0 but alas, it hasn't come to my phone and I don't understand why. The phone Android security patch level is 1 June 2016 and that is worrying as well! My Build number is VNS-L31C440B132 and I was looking for a way to update to the latest availble version while also keeping my current phones data. The Updater in the settings always says there is no updates available and i've tried using 'Firmware Finder' as well but the updates failed.
I'd appreciate any help with the matter.
Thanks,
Charlie
Hello
Firmware here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/vns-l31c440b380-t3617778
In 1: maybe you can try the three-button method (dload).
In 2: try to do the update with the pc and HiSuite (update the system).
In 3: you can also test a firmware updater v2 application and hisuite. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/huawei-p9-p9-plus-firmware-updater-t3435873
In 4: or do the bootloader code request and install recovery twrp for MM and install nougat.
Thanks for the help here, your method worked absolutely fine, I appreciate it. Nice to see a great community here.
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Barbu,
I found a quick way to do this.
Downloading the updates might take a while so make sure your phone is on charge or charging.
First you want to go to the app store and download Firmware Finder (XDA wont let me post a link because I haven't posted 10 times so you'll have to search.
Then go to Settings > Use proxy for install > Download Addon. An apk will download, install this.
Then go to Firware Finder and click this magnifying glass at the bottom right to refresh. Then look for the update that ends in 'B160' and has 'FullOTA' in the name.
Click on it then > GET AN UPDATE THROUGH PROXY. You will be taken to the Proxy App where you need to follow the instructions on screen.
Then you need to go to your phone settings and click on 'Update'. After it scans and finds a new update you need to click on it and then quick install. While it's installing you might want to go back into your WiFi settings and change proxy to 'None' just in case there is connection issues.
Once that update is installing your going to want to repeat these steps but this time install 'B382 FullOTA'. This should give you EMUI 5.0 with loads of new features now!
It might work by install B382 straight away but it didn't for me.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Charlie
Hello, thanks for ur help
U said it didn't works for you but it should work for me huh ?
the problem is that mine is neither b160 nor B382 ... it' an b132... so it's not the appropriate file for my headset, no?
Sincerly, i'm a bit worried about this Update it seems like hack or jealbreak ... don't u think

I can assure you this isn't a "hack" or "jailbreak". Firmware Finder was even developed by members of the XDA community and it's 100% legit. I had the same problem as you Barbu, I was on B132 and wanted the new android 7 update but my phone is also on EE and it wasn't rolled out. All I did was what I detailed in the steps in my post and it worked, and B132, B160 and such are just the version number so installing the B160 will just give you a new firmware update.
Thanks,
Charlie

No. You need to wait until the update has installed. This might take a while as it has to download then your phone will restart and the update will install.
Thank u very much my friend i will tell u the news once the installation finished ...
last question: why don't install the b382 directly without installing the b160 ?

Just didn't work when I tried it so I thought it's better to be safe.
First, thanks for info and effort.
I did everything you wrote. But after I change proxy server, as it stands in Firmware Finder Proxy, and tap Update, nothing happens. There is no update. Maybe I didn't change proxy in right way. But, I googled it just in case, changed it again, and again there was no update.
One more thing. In Firmware Finder, there is firmware for VNS-L31C440B132 in the list. So, I did not chose "B160" and "B382" like you said. Then, I did as you instructed, and there was no update.
Any help?
Thanks.

First off, is there any other firmware in the list or just the one ending in B132?
And did you:
Click Get an update through proxy and they get taken to the proxy finder app where it gives you instructions on what to do to your WiFi settings? Because after you have done that go straight to settings > update > then check for a new update. A new update should appear in red.
If this didn't help just give me another shout and I'll try and help more. If not, there is some firmware finder threads on here as it was developed by person/peoples from the XDA community.
Thanks,
Charlie

I did it!
This time I followed your instructions, first B160 then B382 but not via GET AN UPDATE THROUGH PROXY, but GET AN UPDATE THROUGH DNS (BETA). And it all worked for me.
Regarding your instruction, I couldn't get an update for B132, no matter what I tried and how I changed proxy server.
In the list there are 8 firmwares. FullOTA B383/382/380/370/160/132 and OTA B160/132. Then I tried B132 FullOTA through dns (beta), I got an update, everything went well, but when I checked About phone, there was no change, Emui and android version did not change. Then I tried with B132 OTA, but it failed during installation, twice. Finally, I tried B160 FullOTA first, then B382 FullOTA through dns, and now my phone is on Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0.
Through dns is just 3 taps, then check update and that's all.
Guys, give it a try both ways, hope you will succeed.
Charlie, thank you for information.
Hello Charlie
I followed ur méthod step by step ans it works with me even if it took thé entité day about 10h....
Now i'm runing on nugat 7 thank u very much for ur help ... But I think once Android 8 rolled out WE have to do the same thing, didn't it ?
All in all i'm satisfied ... It was high time ?
Is it still possible to upgrade VNS-L31C440B132 using FF?

Just didn't work when I tried it so I thought it's better to be safe.

Like many other disappointed EE customers who never got a single OTA update for their VNS-L31C440B132 I would like to use this method as it looks pretty straightforward (no unlocking bootloaders/rooting etc) but I may be too late to the party:crying:. Without showing all the details, FF currently lists the following available firmware for my device:
VNS-L31C440B383, VNS-L31C440B382, VNS-L31C440B380, VNS-L31C440B160, VNS-L31C440B160, VNS-L31C440B132, VNS-L31C440B132
The only ones that are approved are both the B132s which are OTAs and there is no longer a B160 that is a full OTA update. They are just (incremental?) OTAs. FullOTAs now start from B380. Perhaps the files I need are no longer available. Is it time to give up, or am I missing something here? Fortunately I now also have a Lenovo P2 with global ROM which DOES get OTA updates!
**Update**. I emailed DEV and they think Huawei may have moved some firmwares but that the missing ones may re-appear in a future scan of their servers, so I will periodically check to see.
Cheers

Last night i managed to update my phone from VNS-L31C440B132 to VNS-L31C440B383 using the method in this thread. I installed the B160 OTA update first through firmware finder via proxy. It listed it as only 740mb (ish) but when i actually installed it through system update it downladed 1.74GB (ish) which installed fine. I then updated to B383 through firmware finder via proxy again which worked fine too. Give it a go it worked for me

Oh great. Thanks. Did you bother with either of the B132s dated 2016.07.14 first (perhaps they are patches for B132) or did you just start with B160? There are 2 B160s dated 2016.10.16 (753MB and 166MB). Did you do a "Check Firmware Access" to see if it was approved? It isn't for me, but perhaps it works anyway. I wonder why the one listed for you was 740MB (perhaps the sizes aren't that accurate)? Are you then saying you missed out B380 and B382 full OTAs and went straight to B383? Sods law is B383 isn't showing up right now, but hopefuly it'll return soon lol

I didnt bother with any B132 updates. I went for the biggest B160 update which probably was 753MB but when i actually went through the update app it downloaded 1.74GB. I didnt check firmware access. After it had updated to B160 i installed B382. I mistyped B383 earlier sorry. I am now running B382 and everything is working great

Thanks for coming back on this. Unfortunately I haven't been able to install B160 yet. After selecting the 753MB B160 OTA I selected "get an update through proxy" and modified the network settings. I returned to the FF app and selected "download". I am presented with the following list of selectable options: 1)update.zip ee/gb/ 2)update_data_full_ee_gb.ziphw/default/ 3)update_data_full_hw/default.zip hw/eu 4)update_data_full_hw_eu.zip hw/normal 5)update_data_full_hw_normal.zip
I selected just option 1 and ok and the download started. I left the network settings as localhost and 8080 until after the download completed. I ended up with a file called update.zip size 1.69GB in folder Local>Internal storage>HWFF>98030> but have no idea what to do next to complete the install. Should an install option have appeared at the end of the download or more options appear in the FF app settings? Huawei Updater ("Check for updates") doesn't see it. I don't have an external SD card but don't see why it would need one. Not sure how to proceed, but at least I haven't broken anything
