Updater missing from settings

Hello, today i have decided to update to nougat so i have downloaded and installed CAN-L01C150B330 from firmware search, when i go to settings the updater tab is missing, if i search updater on setting, updater is show but i can`t open it....so i have tried to do a factory reset, phone boot into recovery stared factory reset but stopped at 5%.
I am the only one with the missing updater and the factory reset error?
What i`m doing wrong?
Here are the steps fallowed to install nougat:
- unlock bootloader
- download the firmware
- extract update.app and copy to dload folder in the root of sd card
- extract recovery.img from update.app with huawei extract tool
- flash extracted recovery.img with fastboot
- boot into recovery and update to nougat.
I had the same issue. After i installed the eu update package, i got the updater in settings back.

how did you install?? i have tried to install as instructed but update failed
make it like Jozinek has written in this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-plus/how-to/c432b320-android-7-0-available-try-t3527084)
only i have the eu update package just as extracted and installed as the full package.
1. download both zip files
2. extract the full update zip and put the UPDATE.APP file in the dload directory on the root of your sd card
3. force updating by (poweroff your phone and) holding all three buttons on right side together
4. wait until the update is complete
5. extract the eu update zip and put the UPDATE.APP file in the dload directory on the root of your sd card
6. force updating by (poweroff your phone and) holding all three buttons on right side together
7. you have it (i hope so )
Forgive me if my English is not the best

Still i am not able to install the eu pack, uptade stops at 52%.
i dont know, if anything is wrong with your unlocked bootloader combined with the update package. that is the only idea i have.

Thanks foliaje, I have tried WAS-LX1AC432B179 and its not working. The phone boots fine. Basically, I rooted and it tried to update via TWRP and failed. Now trying to restore to stock and getting this error. DO you have a link to the exact firmware that I can try - tried several of them now and its failing.
Ok, I managed to go back to stock by downloading via Firmware Finder. So, dload method via SD Card don't work with this phone or what? Would appreciate if someone can confirm?

Hey foliaje, Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
Let me explain my issue: I have purchased my phone yesterday, it upgraded to 185 (I am assuming it was B183, didn't check) via OTA. Then I almost finished setting up the phone including ROOT but a b187 OTA appeared little bit later but failed because I had TWRP already installed. That's fine, no problem. So wanted to start again like I usually do - download the firmware, put on sd card and off you go......
But the problem with this phone is (and I had quite few Huawei one's including tablets) when I downloaded the full firmware, using the SD card dload method I get "Software Install Failed" but it seemed to have worked when I did it via Firmware Finder (I am on B187 now). So something not right - either something has changed or I need to do something else.
So what's the issue? The only think I can think of here is that you are saying that this phone require a 'service' firmware that does not do authentication or something? Right? I am downloading C432B183 from your link and will see what happens (bit slow).
I really would like to know now so I can get back to stock when I mess things up
OK...I followed as below:
Downloaded http://androidhost.ru/JS
(1) Copied main UPDATE.APP to dload folder
(2) Then renamed WAS-L01A_hw_eu\update_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.app to UPDATE.APP and copied to dload folder
Is above method correct, can we do it in one go?
Anyway, I think it has worked (had to do few reset) but the firmware version was showing WAS-LX1AC432B179 - is that correct? OTA upgraded to WAS-LX1AC432B185

WAS-LX1AC432B179 - is that correct

yeah it is correct, by the way in 2) is not necesary rename the update.app only copy all folders to sdcard

In the UK and have exact same model. Filmware finder did not work for me also. The one in the link below did though! Its the first download you need. Copy the update.app and the folder 'L01A' to the 'dload' folder on your sd card. Does your phone boot? If so in the dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose software upgrade then sd card update, it will then flash the filmware to pure stock.

Yes, its all good now. Bizarre - Huawei making things difficult now. Which TWRP are you using? Can the TWRP backup function works for you i.e. encryption disabled?

Hello man,
did you removed prevoius update.app from SD card, the one from rollback??
Maybe you forgot to do this...
If you sure you done all things right then take a look at the UNIFIED HELP THREAD...
At 6th post you'll find a L31 rollback package that will give you C900B300 global firmware.
From this flash C636B170 full ota and see if worked this time....

Hello dude,
in the guide i never readed to use the toolkit, that's another way i think...
Flashing the rollback package will bring you c900b300 firmware wich means global intermediate transitive firmware...
Create a dload folder in SD card, extract update.app from rollback package and put in it.
Turn off you phone. Now disconnect from PC, and let it start keeping vol+ vol- and power buttons.
When it ends turn it off and remove the SD card and the update.app from dload folder.
Download and extract update.app from L31C636B170 full update.
If you missed it...
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66846/f1/full/update.zip
Put this in dload folder in SD card again and put in your phone...
Repeat vol+ vol- power buttons and it will flash...
Recommended: when finished reboot to e_recovery (vol+ power buttons) and factory reset.
If all gone well you will stay now on marshmallow firmware..
Wish you the best my friend...:fingers-crossed:
Edit: flash the rollpack package suggested in prevoius post.

Thank you guys.

P8 lite (ale-l21) rollback error

It'd be great if someone could help me with the following issue: my P8 lite is on firmware B896 and if I force-install the transition package, I put into the dload folder and named UPDATE.APP, I get an error during the installation. Please tell me how to do the rollback and install the stock firmware, I don't know how to do it in ADB.
Thanks

You must EXTRACT from update.zip the UPDATE.APP, not rename it!
.
can you give me the link for the proper update.zip pls?
