After fastbootupdates/repaires no SIM cards available

Hi,
I have played around with dload update from B188 to B524.
The Phone didn't start,it got bootloop. So I flashed the B190 AND B170 boot/cust/recovery/system per fastboot.
Allworks fine,my missing functions I had in the past are there again, but I have one big Problem.
I can't activate the checkboxes in SIMCard Management. It looks that there is no sim in the phone, but it is!
Any Ideas whats wrong here? Without SIMI don't needthat phone ;-P
@edit:Seems I have a serbia Image on my phone, so I think this is the Problem.I'll drink coffee and try a other image.
@edit: I have flashed back twrp in my recovery partition, and write back my working backup. All is fine, but the SIM Card Problem is already there? Why? I have done a full backup with twrp and I know this is without errors because I have used it the last days more thant hree times and it worked for me.
But now, no SIM Support! Any Help would be apreshiated cause I have no working Handy now.
Kind Regards,
Marcel

Install an older version via fastboot and then doing a Local Update a newer version. I had the problem whenever it flashes via fastboot. Example: Install the B170 via fastboot and then the B188 via Local Update. Believe me it works. After that you can then install the B524 without Sim Bug.

The only way that worked was fastboot flash of b052. Then emui update 2 time until b188.
I got no errors, but the final emui dload up to b524 ends in recovery with error and breaks. Fortunately my missing features, the reason why I had started updating, are already fixed. IMEI Problemis away, $G Icon in the top is back, Knockon Feature,and so on...
Do you have a mm tarp backup for me? Maybe?

I also live in Belguim, I am on B331 but I have not received the update? Anything special you did to get this update?

tnx man
any news for mt-tl10?

Hello!
I'm new on this forum, but I realy like your work! My questions is: I'm now on B511 version of android 6.0; is it possible to update to this version (B522)? Or what would be the proper way to do it? I'm from Slovenia, Europe and my phone is MT7-L09.
Thanks guys!

Are we sure we will not hear this is the beta in a few days?

Sure it's not a beta? If so, what version I have to be to receive the Ota?

Can any one explain if you need to reinstall the device ? will all data be deleted ?
Can also some one explain on what version you need to be on to be able to update ?
I am on B331 currently (L09)

What about tl10?

I don't understand a single word from this german site.Do we need b513 to update with b522? Or it just can be updated from b331? Is this final ota official? Or just another beta build? For sure its for L09\2GB version thats only clear thing in text. Can anyone explain is it better than b513 and is there anything new? Is update menu in settings back?

I agree there is some questions to be answered...
Also more confirmation if this is official and final...
Why I ask this is cause Huawei support around the glob is crap, I would only trust chinese support.
For instance I asked 2 months ago Huawei support in sweden when he thought Marshmallow would be released
he said that it has already been released in some markets... if the confirmation comes from china I trust it but not otherwise
since Huawei only have "fake support " in most countries where they will tell you to please restart your mobile phone and re install the phone etc besides that they do not know a ****

The next final marshmallow update is coming up. This time is the extremely popular Mate 7 with Android 6.0 and 4.0 EMUI. It bears the name:
MT7-L09C432B522
On demand, Huawei has informed us that it is the final version for MM Mate. 7
The series join because both the P8 lite, the Mate S, the P8 and also the honor 7 have been supplied ? from the Far East with the coveted sweetness named Marshmallow (which is incidentally also excellent reintun for the hot cocoa. Huawei adopt because already a lot trouble, even though there are times comes in this context to the prophets of doom. this we hear but studiously and look forward rather than a working device.
The now presented and distributed via OTA update is of course again rolled out in waves. Your can watch the way with your wireless display introduced in about, first very little and in the end, more and more. The duration, the amount of time so that a rollout takes total to complete, until all are supplied is given always different. You should there but so get in the next two weeks. Of course it may be that Huawei first the BETA User supplied and brings the update shaft for rolling only after. Can not say or verify, as we currently know precisely only by a BETA users who we so firmware received update for its mate. 7 Thanks to the context of wool!
You will definitely be the next time the marshmallow update on your Mate 7 (in the branded devices such as Vodafone or Deutsche Telekom can take a little longer). It may of course be that the full version then has more MB than that which is currently provided to the BETA testers via OTA. Our version was approved by the MT7-L09C432B513 installed Coming. This should therefore be a prerequisite. If you can no longer wait or want, then flash your device manually, are but you aware of the dangers. It could be that your device after running bad, or not at all. Never change a running system. ? But as we now already know you, our warnings are you can not stop and you will not be able to leave. but Ok, then start please with here:
data backup
Before you charge ahead secures to any case your data, just what one should always do before an update. If you need to simple instructions, just look at our: Huawei backup - full backup
Furthermore, it should have your Micro SD card at least 8GB memory.
download
The firmware version MT7-L09C432B522 you can look in my mirror MEGA download / download.
installation
Normal method
The downloaded file "update.zip" copy in the to be created / or pre-created "dload" folder and this in turn to the root directory (which is the top level) of your Micro SD card (IMPORTANT! THE UPDATE.ZIP NOT UNZIP! !!)
Tippe following in the phone set string: * # * # 2846579 # * # * and then Switch to "ProjectMenu" -> "Software Upgrade" -> "SDCard Upgrade" and confirm with "OK"
It starts the update process and thereafter start your Mate 7 new
Force update method
The downloaded file "update.zip" copy in the to be created / or pre-created "dload" folder and this in turn to the root directory (which is the top level) of your Micro SD card (IMPORTANT! THE UPDATE.ZIP NOT UNZIP! !!)
Make sure your Mate 7 is turned off and the micro SD card with the "dload" folder is inserted. Now hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button is pressed, until a menu appears. Change the connection to the "Software Upgrade Mode".
The update process will start and your Mate 7 then starts automatically again.
After the successful update of your Mate 7 a manual Factory Reset is recommended.
they also write on the blog " The download, installation and use of the firmware is at your own risk.
We assume no liability for the functionality and compatibility of the software.
Damages on your hardware, we assume no liability.
Also for the correctness of the contents is no liability. The firmware version has not been tested by us. "

maybe this update is not compatible with the Marshmallow beta version ?
This is a update version and not full version so some one really need to clarify which versions that are compatible with this update!

Any chance some one who has it could do a clean twrp backup and maybe put on mega, it would be muchly appreciated.
TIA

Hi everyone, My phone is Mate 7 TL-09 and firmware was B513 till yesterday I've got B522 notification and installed it. I installed Huawei ID and Huawei Cloud app, so I think, maybe, I got OTA update because of that. These two allow you to backup contacts, notes, ... to your Huawei cloud.
Huawei Cloud+ app: https://mega.nz/#!KVNzzaDL!AOVdRCttM27utV7N937zM__GSZxpyNvRjCtu0itQR1wL
Huawei ID app: https://mega.nz/#!3EdS0L4K!U8cBJw1kB-qlvQF838W-id78vFDMKQeKOyJ2_F1bJ_U
Also my B513 firmware was rooted and my phone recovery was twrp 2.8.7 mobopx tool.
In Notification of B522 update it said it's Full version, first it showed me a 1.22 GB File and I got a backup and return and it was 486 MB.
B522 download link: https://mega.nz/#!GRlzxJZS!x_dSYDOIofOQD-NeoIZ8sT2V6SvtgnPfNkMDKtBCt2g
The changes are: some minor bug fixes, "Backup" and "health"app added, still missing local update and a little phone smoother.
For installing of B522, it says your phone should not be rooted so I unroot and installed stock recovery of android 6 using mpbopx tool. Then downloaded and using automatic install and it reset two times and installed without any error. I installed twrp again and "supersu 1.64 pro.zip" helped me to root again. I've created a nandroid backup, upload in progress.

battery drains very fast on b552...100% to 91 % to 5h scree off

Well it would be nice if we could get better information for us normal people and non-hackers and rooters too ?
In fact all people who have waited for final marshmallow version do not care about any of that staff that is why we did not install the beta.
So leet keep all this "root" talk in another thread. The final version seem to be here so lets instead discuss what versions that are compatible with this official update.
I have never got any updates pushed on OTA so I most install this manually

Just bought a Mate 8 (NXT-L09C636B191) and not showing nougat available in updater.

Is there an easy way to get it? I tried the firmware finder app from the play store and it's still not working. I show the updates available, but when I try to send to updater it keeps bringing up that notice saying I need to go into my wifi and change proxy to localhost and 8080, even though I've already done that. Is there any other way I can get the nougat update?

I'm having the same problem I can't update to any nougat firmware I'm on c636b191

See my post in the OTHER thread you created.

You must update to b200 via dload and then boom u get nougat update

The tar file contains four modules and I tried installing all four using Odin version 3.12.3 and it failed. So, I turned off the auto reboot and tried the modules one at a time. The BL and AP modules installed but the other two didn't. But when I rebooted with just the AP and BL installed, everything appears to work just fine. I even have all of the upper wifi channels here in the USA using this German version. Netflix and Hulu also work.

I installed BL, AP and CSC(not HOME_CSC) files and it installed normally. Had german language at the beggining.
Any root available for this? Will TWRP work?

I just installed ap and it was set to English UK

nice!
any improvement over the Marshmallow?

Just tried twrp and su and it installed without a problem

Anyone tried flashing it on a T585?

I flashed this last night, runs like a dream. Rooting and everything else was easy. Is anyone else experiencing this bug? When I set any type of lockscreen security (pin, pattern) after enter the pin/pattern it lags to unlock.

No need to rush, the official US Nougat for the SM-T580 will be release either the first week or second week of June. I hate to do it now with the germany version and have to do all all over again when they release the US version.

I tried in the same way I read here to flash back the swiss MM because German Nougat failed at teh end then MM Swiss firmware Always 4 files failed immediately, I tried with MM to flash normally 4 files and 3 files (BL + AP and under cp or CSC I took CSC, not home CSC) failed immediately anyway...I see you have been able to make it work...I downloaded in Sammobile the 4 files, PLEASE I CANNOT USE MY TABLET SM-T580 ANYMORE....THANKS FROM SWITZERLAND

P9 Lite - VNS-L31C432B226 to Nougat

Hi guys!
Recently, one of the users of my app reported an issue with his Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31C432B418. It's impossible to him to use my app, network calls are blocked in the app, the app won't connect to my backend endpoints for no reason. Logging is quite unclear, so it's hard to reproduce this issue.
Because of my dedication and urge to fix this issue, I ordered an Huawei P9 Lite on Amazon. (amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B01DYN5OLE) It got delivered today, installed my app and woosh... Everything was working fine. The phone came with VNS-L31C432B160/EMUI 4.1.3; but the user of my app is using P9 Lite VNS-L31C432B418/EMUI 5.0.4. Hitting the "check for updates" did not result in receiving any update (Thanks Huawei!) so I started looking around the internet. I prefer to use exactly the same build version because I want to reproduce this (hard) issue.
So far so good, I used Firmware Finder to incrementally update to VNS-L31C432B226. I'm quite new in these firmware-hacks and tried installing the VNS-L31C432B418 version, but I got stuck at the 5% progress indicator. Using Firmware Finder on my PC, it checked that I'm able to install versions with G 2190 and g 1789. These params do not tell that much for me... Currently, I'm stuck at VNS-L31C432B226 as this is the last one that has G 2190 and g 1789. All the other ones have G 190 and g 1755, are these for other devices as the one I have since I am not able to install these ones?
Someone who can help me in order to get VNS-L31C432B418? Is this even possible on my device?
Thanks in advance, kind regards
Joren

Hi Joren,
sorry if i ask but the weird (B226) update you done is android 6 or 7 ?
Starting from B160, you should have chosen B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV
to upgrade to android 7, then to latest B418...

Hi, thanks for your reply! My device gotdelivered with version B172...
Today, I got an update to VNS-L31C432B228! This version is not visible in Firmware Finder... Any ideas how to update to Nougat?
Is it possible to force the update? I always get the message that the update is not compatible with my version.

Ok,
use the app, same method and choose B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV.
It's 1.99 gbyte - date 21/03/2017 - G 753 - g 104.
Into my PC version of FF i see (2) two versions, looks the same, try one or the other..
If you will succeed you can update to the latest firmware (B418)..

It seems to be the same URL for those two entries. Note that it's in fact a "downgrade", the "v" value is 80460. My device got delivered with B172 (which is also not found in FF), B173 is already 110304... Currently, B228 is also not visible in the list, B227 is 143951.

"Software install failed" "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package". Same story for the contents of the update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip.
I'd like to wipe the current firmware instead op updating/upgrading it, but I've already done lots of research, some docs are so outdated that they're not relevant anymore. Any clear steps on how to force install the version instead op upgrading it?

It seems to be the same URL for those two entries. Note that it's in fact a "downgrade", the "v" value is 80460. My device got delivered with B172 (which is also not found in FF), B173 is already 110304... Currently, B228 is also not visible in the list, B227 is 143951.

Unzipped "update.zip", copied it into dload folder on my SD card, *#*#2846579#*#* =, ProjectMenu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade ->OK
"Software install failed" "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package". Same story for the contents of the update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip.
I'd like to wipe the current firmware instead op updating/upgrading it, but I've already done lots of research, some docs are so outdated that they're not relevant anymore. Any clear steps on how to force install the version instead op upgrading it?

Dude, i'm here to help, at least for what i know...
I think i explained not so good...
You should use the app to upgrade not to download the firmware.
Take a look HERE, also some videos are on YT..
Just change the firmware with yours... :fingers-crossed:

Tried in the app, it told me that B370 "The firmware is not approved for installation". B418 is approved (FullOTA-MF), so:
- I've downloaded the firmware (3 files)
- Setup in-app proxy
- Change wifi proxy to localhost:8080
- Check for updates, update is available
- Switch back to wifi, disable proxy
- Download update
- Install
Same story, update is incompatible... So I think I'm still doing something wrong while changing the firmware instead of upgrading. For me, the tutorials are skipping essential steps. Or I might have received a f*cked up device. Why on earth is it so hard to update, thanks Huawei..

Are you choosing B370 fullota-mf-pv one ? (not B370 fullota-mf nor B370 ota)
Also now i see there a third B370 fullota-mf-pv with date 2017.08.03 - G 1258 - g 104..
If you don't upgrade to this version first,
you couldn't upgrade anyway to android 7
and then to latest version.
Come on try again...

Yup, but that one: "Most likely, the firmware was removed from the server".
The other ones with B370 are both telling "The firmware is not approved for installation".
I'm testing all the FullOTA-MF-PV's, they are all telling "The firmware is not approved for installation". Some of the "FullOTA-MF" do show the message that they are available. What's the difference between the "-PV"?

That version is used to upgrade to android 7 from 6.
Maybe the version you updated before (B226/B228) don't allow you to upgrade.
Downgrade to B160 and redo your steps..
How to do this ?
Download THIS FILE, extract update.app, create a folder and name it DLOAD.
Put update.app into that folder and put the folder into your SD card.
Turn off the device then reboot holding vol+ & vol- & power buttons together
until flashing starts then release them...

Done, thanks for those clear instructions, I do have B160 for now. The B370 is still resulting in "The firmware is not approved for installation"... :/

That's really weird dude..
Is your device dual sim one ?
What happen if you choose B371 (fullota-mf-pv) instead of B370 ?

Yup, the device is the dual sim one, B371 also "The firmware is not approved for installation". It's really weird...
I'll try updating manually incrementally, so update by update the ones with G 1258 - g 104?

Back to B370,
skip the verify access firmware, go directly to 'get an update via dns',
tap ok, select 'auto' dns method and tap change dns.
VPN service should start...
Open settings > internal updater
and see if download come for you... check several times ...

I don't know what's wrong with this device.
I've downgraded my device to B160 (66015), tried upgrading to B370 80460, 80466, 80582, all with the same result: Incompatibility with current version. The only version I'm able to upgrade to is 80562, which is B210. From that point, Firmware Finder suggests that it should be possible to update to the B370 builds, but every time, "Incompatibility with current version".
The only B370 that I was not able to try is the one you're suggesting in your comment. That one gives a 404 so I'm not able to download that one (92405). Any other suggestions...?

Sorry dude have you tried skipping the firmware access ?
Could we have missed something in the procedure ?
If this doesn't work, try opening the FF app and from the main menu select 'instructions'.
Video and text guides will open. You can try the update with HiSuite
or with eRecovery or as a last resort you could try the one with a TWRP,
but for this you will have to unlock the bootloader and
it would cost you some time and an additional 4 € ...
Please Note: I have never upgraded from A6 to A7 with this device via twrp,
you do this at your own risk ...

With B160, install firmware finder on your phone.
Add model as VNS-L31C432
Settings > Show firmware for this region only and Show full OTAs only.
Check firmware approval one or two times. (Make sure you've provided phone permission for firmware finder)
Get an update via DNS and it'll turn on vpn.
Check for updates and download.
I can help you on teamviewer if you still can't make it work.

I think that the firmware I need is the one that returns a 404 when trying to download. I've already done successful firmware approval several times for builds that won't install after all. Only the fact that it's such a mess to get updates for this device makes me really frustrated. What if I was a "dummy" owner of this device? I should never be able to get the updates I'm looking for. It's just impossible without doing too much effort or rooting the device. For me it's really important to have the original firmware of Huawei and not a custom rom, because I have to investigate the issue of my app user, which is device-specific. How complicated can it be to provide a solid update platform. Huawei, please.
I've decided to ship this piece of sh*t back to Amazon. Ordered a second hand Huawei P9 Lite that has already the build VNS-L31C432B418. Thank you guys for all the effort in trying to help me getting Nougat on this device, unfortunately it seems to be impossible.
