Yes, it's the first thing I would do. Check your PMs.

Same situation here - U8800 just arrived, lovely! But the updated firmware is no longer available from the Huawei web site. Can anyone send me a PM with a link to the latest firmware please? Thanks!

it always was and still there http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDA0MDg= (use download manager cause connection is not very stable)
Katu - your PM'img stuff is killing me. Why do you don't share link but sending PMs? What are you hiding?

Thanks Tommixoft.
I notice this is B162, which (I think) is the version intended for the China market. I was expecting B136. Is there any risk involved in flashing B162 on a UK model?

Did you actually managed to download the file?
Usually, there is no risk involved, except that it looks different and some apps will be missing...Check your PMs.

Download is in progress - slooooowwwly

Sure, instructions sent via PM.

OK, so here's the plan for how to spend my Saturday morning . Comments welcome.
1. upgrade firmware to B138
2. install superboot (not sure if I need to do this...)
3. install CWM 4.0.1.5
4. (optional) install new ROM (Oxygen 2.2.1 or FLB r7)
Did I miss anything?

Superboot was designed for 2.2.1 (B136) and may not work properly with 2.2.2 (B138). You don't need it at all if you install Oxygen/CM7/FLB/Miui.

Yup, I suspected that. Thanks for the confirmation!

So i received my X5 with U8800V100R001C00B135SP01 CUSTNLD253D001
I guess the customization is for Dutch market.
Does anyone know what these customizations are?
Also, i'm looking for a newer rom, but huawei isn't very helpful.
Can anybody please sent me a link to most recent stock rom that will work
in Europe (the netherlands)?
Thanks a lot for helping.

Any European B138 Roms should be much better compared to what you have now... The customization is limited to some applications that Netherlands Operator has agreed to get for this phone...Check your PMs...

Thanks!
I'll give it a try.
Does anyone know why they removed the roms from their site?

Katu, please send me that PM.

I've try'd the b136 rom for a week now, but i've found no differences... phone still reboots at random times. Using the dataconection (3G) gives reboots often.
Guess i've received a brick from Huawei.

I don't know really. just noticed this new FW.
I observed that Quick Circle app does not work well under 20D. It has screen refresh issues when case is closed.
never happened under KitKat.
I hope that 20E solves that.

Can I install this on an SEA phone?
I have unwittingly bought a D855 32Gb phone which looks like it was meant for the south east asian market (V10K-SEA-XX).
Can you answer the following questions for me?
1 - Will this EUR rom work on my phone?
2- Will my phone still appear un-rooted i.e. indistinguishable from a bought european phone (Some of my apps will annoyingly refuse to work if it's rooted)
3 - My model does not currently have the 4g option, from reading on here I believe it has been disabled in the software of some SEA phones. Will this EUR rom enable 4g?
I suspect (and hope!) that the answers will be yes, yes and yes! Give me some good news!
Thanks for your help

Hey!
I hope it will help but I'm a super noob and that was my first flashing ever.
So I have the SEA model too. I used this update and everything worked without any problem, I have the v20e version now. (The software version changed to GLOBAL but it's still SEA - so you will only get the OTA when they get the OTA at SEA region.)
I read somewhere that you will get the OTAs when it will be available for your region (so SEA in our case). But since flashing is super easy and I can't wait weeks to get my updates probably it wont really affect me.
And I can see the LTE option in the settings.
I atached 2 screenshots maybe it's useful for you!
Have fun with Lollipop!

Thanks for the info mate, I think you've just convinced me to have a go with it. Which software did you use to flash yours?
Can you confirm that your phone did not need to be or end up rooted as a result?
Cheers

Why did you wait if your phone is PLK-L01? I installed C432B330 when my phone build was C090B210 and nothings happened. Country is not so important I think. But I do not know if it's harmful or not. Not on me at least

Unable to debrand Huawei Nova

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

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.

[Guide] Online Firmware finder

Hello there,
Since a lot of users are using Huawei firmware finder app on desktop or phone and it's relatively slow I guess this link should be posted for quick search instead.
This is a Russian site, but you can translate it or not since it's really easy to navigate and it finds all results pretty fast.
You can even search Model number + carrier at the same time( for example FRD-L09C10) and it will filter only those results with changelog and download link. It's always up-to-date and faster than desktop or mobile app of Huawei firmware finder.
Link: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/база-найденных-прошивок/
PS: I'm not the owner of this site.

You can also use this address format if you don't speak Russian:
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L04C567
Replace FRD-L04C567 with the model you're looking for.
Though your link is in a prettier format.
