Hello,
I know, this is a Honor 8 lite forum but I did not found my device, this is why I'm here.
I have one question only, does my device support ota? Or anyone knows this as a problem?
My build number is: pra-lx1c900b004
I know this is the global model, but with firmware finder too, I can not find an update, and it's only displays 2 old ones, but I can't download them.
I have another pra phone, it is a p9 lite 2017, european model: pra-lx1c432b162
This phone got 2 ota updates before.
So is my device will ever get ota? I did looked up a lot of models like all la1 versions and all of them had some updates before. I'm a bit worried because I will want to upgrade to android 8.0 if that will happen.
This is my first post so if it's bad, I'm sorry.
Waiting for an answer

This looks like international model. From Honor 8 experince this models don't receiving OTA updates or very occasionally. Where you buy phone?

I bought it from AliExpress, official Huawei store with some reviews,(all 5) my phone has honor logo on it but it has p8 lite 2017 software, interesting. The description said that it support ota but I haven't got connection to the themes in themes app too and I think there is a server connection problem but this is just speculation.. So maybe I can get ota it's just rare?

This must be some mistake, phone have Honor logo and how u know software is for p8 lite 2017? Can you post here or somewhere screenshot from Settings > About phone?

I know it, because when it boots up i get the Huawei logo, not the Honor what I want.. Is there a way to change the build number? Here is the screenshot: It says I cant upload..

So the latest thing what happened, I just that silly that I did not sat down. Now I tried to install another official rom but a p10 lite. Yes I know I was that dumb. On bootup I have the basic android logo and everything works except my sim card, volume, vibrate motor, play services and update menu. (Update failed at 99%)Now I have emui 5.1 on my Honor 8 Lite which came to me with p8 lite 2017 software... My build number now is I know that this is bad, but: NRD90M test keys. Model number: generic_a15
Is there anything that I could to to my phone to work?

No, I don't have updater,
Yes and it's enabled,
Yes, google play preinstalled and it allows from the web to install apps too.
Oh but I did forgot: I have connection to the server, I know because the themes app works!
Rommco05 said:
Can I know where u downaload fw which u instal to phone before mess up phone?
So your phone is Honor 8 lite. I think code name is PRA (original from Honor) I know which region is yours or which build number was yours C???
Click to expand...

Yes, from firmware finder, was-lx1c10b170.
Yes it's Honor, yes it is PRA but I don't really know that. The p8 lite 2017 system was pra-lx1c900b004, that is worked with the phone, but I can't download it from firmware finder, so I tried do download c432 cause you know it's the european. I have it on my sd card inside the dload folder, but the install just fails at 5% sadly..

Hi everybody,
this is my first post so please forgive any "incorrect habit" might come out of this post.
My situation is the following: I bought a Huawei Nova smartphone about a week ago. It comes with Vodafone brand and the complete build model is CAN-L01C02B130CUSTC02D014.
I read lots of forum posts and blogs over the web and what I learned is that:
- L01 means single sim;
- C02 means that is branded Vodafone;
- B130 is the firmware version;
- CUSTC02D014 is the custom build with the debug version.
I want to debrand my smartphone (without unlocking or rooting it, if possible) so I downloaded FirmwareFinder and, from there, I fetched every firmware compatible with CAN-L01 following to my build model (made on 2016-09-14). Unfortunately, I was not able to install any of those firmwares (very strange).
Given the above-mentioned information, here are my questions:
1 - is it possible to debrand my smartphone without unlocking and rooting?
2 - is it really possible that every firmware made after mine (on 2016-09-14) failed to install?
3 - how can I pick a compatible firmware?
4 - someone wrote that before installing a more recent firmware, one must debrand by downgrading and then (only then) update the firmware itself. Is it true?
Thank you very much,
Valerio
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers for more relevant answers.
Good luck
For your case you have to find a full update.app and to flash it via the tree buttons method

I think that is better not to install it using the three button method. If you going to do it, at least have a nandroid backup, assuming you unlocked your bootloader and installed the twrp.
One other way to try, requires a unlocked bootloader too, huawei extract tool and then flash system.img and boot.img at least.
I linked the source, but Idk if it is going to work and requeries courage to do this :/
Edit: sadly, wait for the official upgrad is the most safer thing to do right now

I can tell for sure, but from the changelogs I read, it seems it is a test build or something like that. I could open it with dsixda and will try to flash as soon I unlock the bootloader but I'm waiting to get the code.

Thank you so much for the link! I think it should go flawlessly as long as it is compatible with CAN-L01 (and it actually is). The only thing that stops is that it is a test build...maybe I'll wait the official release too.

Is there anyone out there that knows how to update the Mate 9 Pro (Lon-l29c)? The firmware finder app seems suspiciously unable to supply an "authenticated" update package, & paying funky Huawei every time I need to update is a bit to much for me. I have the files for the update, I just have no idea how to go about making the phone use it even recognize the files. Are there any methods available other than the two I mentioned?

Not to be rude, but I posted to find another method other than funky Huawei. Even with the fact that it's just $30 for 5 updates is way more than I would ever spend for something I've done for free. I plan to have this phone for years, and I'm pretty sure there'll be more than just 5 updates in a year (there's been 3 in the 2 months I've owned the device already).

Do you need to do any extra steps on the Mate 9 Pro? Is not having an external sd card in our phones a problem?
Currently considering rebranding to C636, since that versions seems to get updates fastest.

Tried again. I just kept getting that incremental stuff where it keeps wanting to download another patch.
So. I cleared the folder specified in FF, rebooted the phone and then it kept saying the connection was unstable.
So, I uninstalled FF Proxy and then reset the connection. File downloaded. Phone rebooted and said it couldn't verify the file and now.....
"Your device has failed verification" on boot up. It will work if I press the power button, but something is clearly wrong. It suggests I use 'ERecover' which states it will download the most recent build over Wifi.
Balls. Will give it a try - but I fear I've bricked the bloody thing!

Ah. Thanks for that. That's how you get around that problem!
Onto the new problem - "Your device has failed verification." Huawei's own solution failed. I presume it only works in Asia or China. It appears to want you to use 'ERecover' and wifi*not fully booted phone) to download a system image. Doesn't work. (Funky Huawei use this method, but they change your DNS so presumably ERecover points at their servers for a fee.)
Apparently factory reset doesn't work either and I didn't wanna start from scratch again.
I Googled about and this does seem a relatively common issue and someone else got the issue on a Huawei Mate 9 (not pro) doing the same thing. The OTA updates can cause this, he flashed an older firmware. I tried to flash the older firmwares, two of which got 'not authenticated' messages. So, going for broke, I had a go at installing the newest B182 firmware FULL again through FF. By some miracle - it worked and fixed the "Your device has failed verification." issue as well!!
Phew. So managed to get B182 on L29C636. :victory:
Only weird thing I got was Google Drive didn't want to work post installation(kept saying no network connection) - so I deleted all data from Google Play and this started working again.
Now that I know the critical point in using FF - "Download latest full package" as stated above. This shouldn't be such a ballache.
Can anyone confirm the benefit of converting the C636(Asian) to the European version- C432?
Which is the last official OTA checking from update system for this model VKY-L09C432?
I have had only the OTA 123. But I see with ff also 125 and 130 but not from system update.
Thanks
Updates seem to be pushed by location. If youre outside of the intended c432 area, you might be waiting awhile. You could try VPN, or there is always funky Huawei

Which region / location are you in?
Just Unboxed my unbranded P10+ , and out of the box its on 120.. but no b130 OTA.. ... Im in UK, which is c432 region.. but as Goranock pointed out.. Huawei do OTA via location..
You could try downloadiong Huawei's HiSuite and trying an update
Im a little cautious about manually flashing Hauwei roms... I used to have a P9, but flashing a stock C432 Rom on a stock C432 device changed it to a C900.. which renders it useless to Stock OTAs and Android Pay.. according to some XDA modders.. the C900 on the P9 was a test / safe mode rom.. not a consumer rom,, so be careful .. although I cant say what the P10+ would do, but Im net messing with any Hauwei roms.. Ive even read of folk flashing a stock rom.. and bricking their P9.... just a word of caution
Hope UK gets it soon
I am a bit puzzled that the updates are not more of an issue here. I think it's really annoying that currently there seem to be no other ways for manually initiating the update than to use (the way too expensive) funkyhuawei or to unlock bootloader. Did anyone manage to successfully initiate an update by using a VPN and if so what location do I use to do so?

I am a bit puzzled that the updates are not more of an issue here. I think it's really annoying that currently there seem to be no other ways for manually initiating the update than to use (the way too expensive) funkyhuawei or to unlock bootloader.

Did anyone manage to successfully initiate an update by using a VPN and if so what location do I use to do so?

Yes, thank you, I know about that way though but the thing is I dont want to even have to unlock the bootloader in the first place, even if it ends up being locked/relocked afterwards. Personally that's just too much of a hassle just to install updates in my book. But since you said you are from Italy and you obviously already have received the update I'm gonna try and use an Italian VPN to try and see if I can at least upgrade to B123 then. Even though I feel that's a bit ridiculous now that not only B130 but also B133 seems to be out already. By the speed they are distributing their updates OTA I'm probably not gonna till B133 by autumn or something...
Edit: nope, tried several European countries, obviously VPN doesn't help...
Just wondering : what's the changelog for B133 ?
Pretty new to Huawei's firmware here... on the russian FF site I don't see it.

hmmm....do u mean one of those two firmwares for L09 released end of june? C25B501 and C212B120... id guess the latter since B120 is a bit too "low" in number. in any case, that would be so awesome )))

thats the thing: B120 and android 7? doesnt fit together if u ask me! huawei always tries to hide new OS betas by "downgrading" the description
That's correct JBMC83 , I remember when nougat was coming out via beta and it said it was emui 3.1. Any firmware finder with PV beside it means u can instance it via twrp , I figured that out just recently by trial and error

Do you have oem info for L09? Is it single or double SIM? I will try if I get the oem info.
Is this feasible on L29 if at all you have oem info?

c mon man show some screenshots..
November 2017 confirmed
There is a kernel in one of the brandnew l09 updates on ff that is absolutely awesome. Its says unreleased on the about kernel but it works so great and has support for power killing apps and best is the fingerprint issue is gone . I took it and rooted it for kangb589.
If someone has a flashable zip that converts al to south america 605 cust and oem info i could create a zip flashable via twrp system , it was already pree rooted r w rw for delevopment.
You didn't answer previous few questions... Did you actually flashed Android O? If yes, any screenshots? If not then say so so people stop expecting..... Lol. Not an issue.....
Yes I used dload method about 3 times before successful and to boot into recovery , facrory reset and I had to use emui 5.0 supersu in the recovery 3.1.1.1 and then it booted , developer options worked also. Just broken wifi , I did not get into testing much , there is a link on asia site talking about the release. It also appears that the l09 is being sold in many more regions now , huawei doesn't communicate at all even with sr beta testers. Just update and hope it doesn't brick is huaweis way of thinking I guess.
I installed it on a l29 that was debranded to DL 17 used stock recovery to factory reset and then installed 3.1.1.1. Basically same thing as how we installed the original beta for noughat.

very interesting info there... in any case, ill hold back until its more stable and functional, just great to know theres still hope for the mate 8 looks like B589 could be the last stable emui 5 rom, so worth flashing in the meantime

Oreo will be cool but my love miss mate 8 has a crappy graffics card , that will hinder the entire os but its projected to release In fall this year.
