I believe you have to go back to the stock recovery, unroot, and THEN update to MM... but I'm not sure how.

Sorry
I can't find it but before that you need to update to B200 and then to Marshmallow
You can install B200 via fastboot also

Good to know.
One more question. If I go back to stock recovery and unroot, I should be able to fine the OTA update via the EMUI's updater? (whatever version it is)

After restoring the stock recovery reinstall your current OS and then you should be able to update via the updater app or by the dload method

What is your full build version - GRA-xxxCxxxB190?
--------------------
Btw, another way to update in your situation without losing root, is by using an all-in-one tool like FlashFire:

Thanks, will give it a look.
EDIT: My OTA update doesn't even show up, so I'm not sure if FlashFire can help me.
The full build is GRA-L09C469B190

Ok, before going any further, I strongly recommend making a nandroid backup using TWRP & also transferring a copy of the backup to another device, like a PC/laptop if possible...

If you have the Huawei HiCare installed, does it offer any updates when you check via it? If not, install it & check in both these places in the app:
HiCare app > Me tab > Check for updates
HiCare app > Service tab > OS Upgrade Early Adopters

You should only apply updates with the same Cxxx as yours.I thought that you have C432 from the other guy's post so I'm sorry.
And I've found B210 with C469 so you can update to this first with extracting the recovery from it with Huawei Update Extractor and flashing via fastboot and then updating via dload but i don't know if there's EMUI 4.0 for C469.

Hi,
What happens if you update with the wrong Cxxx?
I just got a used p8 that's got GRA-L09C02B191 on it. I'd like to update it to Android6 before starting to screw around with custom ROMs. I've got FirmwareFinder running, and it's already found 200+ options, none of which appears to be C02, despite that being my range setting. Is my model unupdateable?
TIA!

You will get C900 and won't be able to get OTA updates, themes may not work and Android pay.

Thanks for the lightning fast reply!
That's not so bad, I don't care about themes, don't use Android Pay, and doing the updates manually isn't a huge pain. Is there anything else that I lose? Presumably I'll be able to roll back to gra-l09c02b191 to restore full functionality?
So can I then just go directly for the latest firmware, which I guess is B370?
Thanks!

MHA-L29BC636B183 firmware available?

For those of us using the MHA-L29C636 version, I noticed here that a new firmware has been released in the last few days: MHA-L29BC636B183
Firmware Finder has not picked this up yet, but is it because it is listed as for MHA-L29BC636 whereas all of the previous firmware for this model is listed for MHA-L29C636 without the extra 'B'??
Does anyone know what/if there is a difference and should it be available/possible to load on our phones?

You can flash it just fine.
I don't know what the B is for, but if you download the update and extract it, there would be a file containing the version of the update and it doesn't have the extra B in it. It just listened "MHA-L29C636B183". And when you flash it, there will be no extra B.
So yeah you can flash it just fine.

Did anyone try this? it really made the performance of CPU intensive apps run like crap, Tekken runs like **** and it lags on chrome and Apus browser, like a real lag.
Can anyone confirm it?

Any reason why Firmware Finder hasn't picked up this update yet?

This is reason.

I don't understand..i flash my Mate 9 C636B181 via FF, now is not work?

Because the naming of the file is a little different so FF doesn't detect it being compatible with your phone. There's an extra B in the naming.
Tap on the three lines on top left corner in FF and click on " Tap to change your model" and type
MHA-L29BC636
Then it'll show up.
Hipe it helps.

Guys, if the update file has not been approved for your device's IMEI it won't work. I've tried myself with FF, dload, rolling back to MM, and TWRP without success. You'll only get the "authentication failed" message no matter what method you try. In my experience these posted files might not be the final release versions. If you use the "Check Firmware Access" option within FF app you'll be able to see if the file you're attempting to download has been approved for installation.

[Discussion] Rollback package for various models

Hi Folks,
Seeing around various section of all the models when users are struggling to restore their phone either due the flashing an incorrect firmware or after updating via Firmware Finder app and then wanting to rollback to earlier version of EMUI. They sometime cannot even flash the custom ROMs due to FRP lock or unable to flash the custom recovery and even after trying all the known methods, we struggle to restore their phone as they messed up badly with their phone and model or version change to something unexpected.
In this thread, lets discuss and share about rollback files available for various models (be it MM, Lollipop anything) so that new users could use it to restore to their original version and then update to official versions.

You may find one in my signature for downgrade of 5X. Process is same but just a change of files.

Hi. Do these files restore absolutely everything? I've got a dodgy file in /system/lib64 and don't know if a dload flash will fix it. Would an ota package do it? I don't really want to have to wipe everything.

This rollback package will just creat a platform for rollback. Post this, you need to flash the MM based rom for your model via dload.

Check what Huawei authorized this rom to you. If not you will get error and ROM will be deleted.
In case of not authorized, you have to use other method, but it requires unlocked bootloader and factory reset

P.s. Backup first!
P.p.s. Huawei posted only two files in this ROM. HwOta method needs 3 files, so have to change script.
Changelog says that it is Rollback from Oreo.
Can you use Huawei Update Extractor to extract package_type from update.app of biggest archive and watch what is in?

So downloading the files through FF are useless?
