Is there anything to say against the AL10 version?

I can flash the international rom right?
What I didn't fully understand is if OTA updates are still available if I have an unlocked, rooted AL10 device with an international rom.
Not having OTA updates wouldn't be a big problem though.
Is there anything else to be concerned of or is it safe to go for the AL10?

I'm in UK using al10 no problems at all something's are better on Chinese version tbh

Yes you can. I know I have... Every device unlocked regardless if it is AL10 or L29 cannot get OTA updates. So the only downsize to AL10 is that if you keep it with chinese rom you will get chinese in some apps and that you will have to install manually google services , contactssyncadapter etc...

I am using the Kang VIP rom right now which come standard with GAPPS. It took a little setting up, but it's the best rom I've used so far. No freeze ups, force closure of apps, or anything.

If I had the choice (well I did lol) I'd get the AL-10.

For some reason the Chinese version always gets the first updates and a lot of ROMS are more compatible with less problems on the AL-10.

I have the Chinese version as stock, had 2 little issues
A) Power saving in smart saving mode is still very aggressive- it likes powering down apps - tasker and autovoice get switched off when I didn't use them. But that is fixed by setting apps as protected.
B) Bluetooth is a little unreliable since the last ota - I have smart security on the phone and an lg watch. I have to put in the code in odd occasions and I've lost sound on a Couple of headset phone calls.
But I would still recommend the phone

Ok guys, thanks for the info, I got the AL10 on Monday and I love it, had no problems yet

KIW-L21 C432B130 (UK) full revert package

If you have modified your device, are still on Lollipop and you'd like to revert your UK device back to complete stock, then you can use this package.
Download the zip, extract and put on a microSD (preversing the dload/UPDATE.APP structure).
Turn off your device, plug it into a charger (but not a computer) then, with the microSD inserted, tap the power button while holding volume up and volume down. The update will apply and you will be back to bone stock B130. Your device WILL be wiped.

Thank you Paul! Worked for me and my 5x is back running stock firmware again! Even managed to update to B140

Why is it specifically a UK firmware ? Can't it be used for other European devices ?

I couldn't use the existing L21 B130 ROMs available on my UK device so I assume there are sufficient differences preventing installation.

I've bought my device in germany from vmall.eu and have the same Build and Cust N° - I guess this rom is not just for UK.
BTW where did you get it?

The phone line isn't run by Honor themselves. The rom came from Honor UK. It was given out to people unable to flash the MM beta.

Yes, the latest Xposed supports Huawei now without deodex.

I guess L21 is completely European and there are no fifferences at all.
BTW, i got back to stock with this B130, got an update to B140 afterwards.

No,because I'm using B151 for some time and I will change when they come out MM
I believe, however, that the Finnish and the UK are at the same firmware
while the Russian firmware it's different and creates problems

Honestly, I would expect all 'C432' ROMs to be the same, but all I know is a lot of people have been having problems!

eRecovery connects over WiFi to download a full rom image and reflash your phone completely to stock. Useful when you don't have a microSD card and cannot get the phone to boot into Android.

Well it needs a full update image to be available on the server, which currently isn't on the server. So it's pretty useless.

Shame you can't do a reboot into recovery2 with a command (e.g. adb reboot recovery2). That would be handy!

How to update the Huawei Mate 9 Pro (Lon-l29c)'s firmware?

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?

And you dont have to pay evertime you update it , if you pay 30$ you get 5 points which will allow you to update your phone 5 times

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.

Did you use FF ?
Did you use the OTA-MF or the FullOTA-MF?
Last time I tried for my C636 (B182) I wasn't authorised!

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?

CAN-L01 "NRD90M test-keys" problem

Hi,
i've upgraded my Huawei Nova (european version, vodafone branded) to android 7.0 via official OTA update. Soon i realized that this version was bugged, so i decided to do a factory data reset, but after the phone rebooted an error like "impossible reset" came out and i could only press on "reboot system now". It looped on logo for a while and then the welcome page appared (like it was successfully restored).
After all the process of the first configuration, i got my device working but i realized that again something was wrong. The phone signal indicator keeps telling me i'm connected via 3G or 4G even if i switch off mobile data, themes app doesn't work and under Build number i have NRD90M test-keys; plus the updater app wont open.
I've tried some guide on this forum, specially the one that say to apply the patch "update_data_full_CAN-L01_hw_eu", but all the pakage i've tried gave me the same error "Software install failed" at 5% of the process of installation.
I don't reallt know what to do now to get the phone works properly. If anyone can help i'll really appreciate.

I've resolved the "NRD90M test-keys" problem manually flashing an update for my Nova (CAN-L01C02) with the version B340 that i found with FirmwareFinder without rooting or unlocking the bootloader. I put the links if someone is interested.
First flash the big one http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1371/g79/v86683/f1/full/update.zip (at this point the "NRD90M test-keys" problem still here)
Then the small update http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1371/g79/v86683/f1/full/CAN-L01_vodafone_default/update_data_full_CAN-L01_vodafone_default.zip that will fix the "NRD90M test-keys" problem and all the other problems (theme app not working ecc.)
Now the phone works fine, except for the update app that still won't open, but it is not a big problem because you can still flash updates manually. :good:

Welcome to the Pupped up club ...
You said that youve updated via OTA ?...the ''normal usual way'' tu update / upgrade ?
you did not use firmware finder... is that it ?
im asking cuz,via the ''normal / official OTA way,few of us are having problems BUT...
if your upgrade comes from firmware finder (or else), you can be 98% shure to have problems (like theme manager)
My wife and i have the same Nova Plus MLA-L03...
i did the upgrade via firmware finder on my device and, not happy at all
My wife did hers via OTA normal/carrier way and her phone just work perfectly...
and if you ask IF theres a way back to MM, well forget it... we just CANT rollback to Marshmallow/emui4.1:crying::crying:

if it's not working is because you're flashing the wrong version of the update file, be sure to use the correct version (CAN-L01Cxxx) where xxx is the version you've installed in you device, then with "firmwarefinder" search the correct update file and flash it. This method have to work.

From what i know, that number version only change which system apps you have installed by default (of brand ecc.) so i can't find a reason for that be a problem. Insted you have the dual sim version right? Maybe is because you have flashed the single sim version?

Any idea why I've not had any updates on my Sim Free UK P10 Plus? I'm still running VKY-L09C432B120. Have updates been released in the UK for this phone? Also, not sure if it's related, in About Phone>Certification: it says Serbia.

Sometimes, you can get updates in their HiCare app, when you can't get them from the update in phone settings.

Thanks both, I'll try HiSuite when I get chance. Will installing an update via the firmware finder app invalidate warranty? Also, do I need to be rooted for it to work?

No it doesn't invalidate the warranty because those updates are the official ones. And because of that, it does not need to be rooted to work. I went 12 rounds with that app and finally figured it out so if you need any help with it, I would be happy to help you save some time.

I have the same issue on mine. Assuming it is an issue of course. Odd that March is last update though...

Use HWOTA or FunkyHuawei to get updates. Even Firmware Finder will allow you get C432B162.

Thanks all for the advice, I used Firmware Finder and now have my P10 Plus running B162.
One upside of the upgrade is that I can now use the full 220mbps available from my Virgin Hub instead of the 30mbps I was limited to before.

Seems I've run into a little trouble updating to the latest firmware version on Firmware Finder. B175 is available but when I try to install it shows as unauthorised. I've tried this with both the proxy enabled throughout the upgrade and disabled after the initial setup. Any ideas?

This happens a lot with Firmware Finder, it's not always possible to install f/w even though it's available. In this instance your two options are HWOTA method (search these forums) or Funky Huawei's pay service.
The only improvement in B175 is Android Security Patch dated 5th October.

Thanks scook94, I'll give this one a miss and look into HWOTA if the problem persists with future updates.

If you have September Security Patch then I wouldn't worry too much, I think that's the one that fixed the BlueBorne vulnerability...
HWOTA requires backing up, unlocking bootlader (which wipes device), updating then restoring. That's too much bother for me so I chose to pay for the upgrade. Each to their own. Firmware Finder is great but it requires Huawei authorising the update, which they don't always do.

I have this problem with b175, all the others work.
I contacted firmware finder and they couldn't really understand English. If you notice though on ff there is a few other updates that are not compatible too listed above,to be fair I'm not sure b175 is even out on the p10 plus yet? It's only mentioned for the p10 when you Google search but it's annoying me now because I want another update just to verify that my phone can be still kept up to date via the app

hi all,
I am really struggling with this. My P10+ is on B120 and I cannot for the life of me upgrade it. I tried Firmware finder in proxy mode or download mode. I tried downloading it on the pc and copy to the sd card , still no luck.
I seem to be getting, this firmware is not verified or that the download isn't verified. i also now have to press the power button whenever i restart the phone. is there any solution to this ?

Any idea why I've not had any updates on my Sim Free UK P10 Plus? I'm still running VKY-L09C432B120. Have updates been released in the UK for this phone? Also, not sure if it's related, in About Phone>Certification: it says Serbia.

I seem to have the same issue although mine is the P10. Picked up sim free from Argos. Still running B120 and device also says certified in Serbia. Also struggling with the forced update method. Getting a bit frustrated.

Have you tried using the firmware finder app? This worked for me.

I did make an attempt but it didn't work for me. I'm not that confident going through the process either. Was kinda hoping there'd be an OTA waiting for me. Huawei Twitter support says B162 is the latest authorised release from them but can't seem to tell me much else.

Anyone resolve this issue yet? I will get in touch with huawei and ask if needed. im b120 still running march 2017 update. it a shame. i bought from amazon uk

Good news guys! I figured out the way to download the software updates! Go into the preinstalled app on your phone called Emui Software Updates, click on the three dots on top right of your screen, and click on download latest software packages.. Voila! Hope this helped! Im currently downloading B171 for my UK sim free p10.
