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. "
not a beta (for the ones wondering) it just shows up in my update app
when i try to install it by 3 bottoms that number doesn't work with zip update just with update.app

so what should i do to work ??

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.

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
Hi there, I'm experiencing some issues with my new bought phone Huawei P8 Lite(ALE-L21 Single-Sim locked in Vodafone Romania).
The first issue and that's kinda important is the notification one; I won't receive for example Facebook's Messenger messages, when phone it's locked or often on home screen. I've given priority on that damn task killer, I did anything recommended on all forums and sites, even from WhatsApp's thread about receiving delayed notifications, I also installed that Push notifications app;
When I said I often receive notifications on my home screen it's beacuse they are delayed I think. I want to fix this so bad so I made a thread about this. Everything has priority, even networking apps, the lock screen has the default theme, I really don't know what to do anymore.
And the second one is about the common double tap execution when writing or tapping or anything else. I'm experiencing some troubles there too, especially when I'm writing, the phone is executing the second tap without my action and I don't know how to fix that.
I'll let some informations about my phone..
I've purchased this phone on 31th of May, 2016
The model number is ALE-L21/Single Sim
The build number is ALE-L21C02 B140
Android 5.0.1 with EMUI 3.1
Phone isn't rooted or modified, and I want to fix these without rooting if it's possible.
well .. you have 2 options:
1. Check notifications manager from notifications panel
2. Upgrade to marshmallow: upgrade to b170 then upgrade to b564 and hope this will fix your problem xD
About the double tap: that is an often problem on this huawei and you can fix that by upgrading to last version of marshmallow.
Can't find an notification manager, may you show me where it is?
And about the versions I found only b170 but it's from spain and I told you that I'm a little bit scared beacuse it's locked in Vodafone Romania
It doesn't matter from where it is, it's official from huawei. It doesn't matter if it's locked in vodafone romania, mine was also locked in vodafone romania, and i have b565 now
You won't brick your phone.
Here it's notification manager:
If you can't find notification, it means that this option is not available on 5.0
May you give me some links to the updates, please? I really don't want to f**k up the phone
Update via local update: make a folder named dload on your internal memory or sdcard an put the update.app inside of this zip
Then, update with the same procedure to 6.0 by installing update.app from this zip
ALE-L21C02 B140
It looks that Your phone is branded and I don't know if You will have balong bug after upgrading the system to B170 and upper. I recommend you to make a debrand process but it needs an unlocked bootloader. When You decide to do it remember to have done a backup of Your data!

Oups, didn't read c02 xD
But i don't think it's a big problem, even if he has balong, he can install vendor or change it.
Could you explain me what's "balong" and "vendor"; I'm sorry but I'm completely parallel with these kind of "deep" stuff in phones..
Balong is a bug that appears when you are installing a firmware that is not for your country and it's a problem with the version not showing properly. The vendor file will fix it.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
And where can I find the vendor file, to avoid the balong bug?
And also is it a problem if I update my One-Sim Phone with an Dual-Sim FW?
That's strange, why are you having b140 on single sim?
And why you want to update with a dual sim version on single sim?
Just install b171 first then install b551, at last install b565 via ota.
Vendor file is inside firmware archives.
Hi,
I bought this phone Huawei P8Lite (ALE-L21) without being connected to any network carrier.
Before I start to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and Root the phone, I checked the system version and EMUI and the rest of the information needed before update to Marshmallow 6.0.
Before I had the following info:
OS: Lollipop 5.0.1
EMUI: 3.0
(ALE-L21C432B200)
At this point I had no update via OTA - (to the Android 6.0 Marshmallow), and made only unlock bootloader
After several hours of searching, I found that I could do a local update (B560 Marshmallow Firmware [Europe] - Dual SIM) available by Huawei.
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
I checked Huawei PDF on how to do the update but does not mention Required Version and proceeded to local update.
So far so good, the phone did the update without any problem.
I checked OTA for new update and the phone made update for B564 - Also mentioned by Carbontesla.com
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
Phone did the update (B564) without any problem, then I proceed installing TWRP and then I root the phone.
All work beautifully, but I noticed that whatever the application I use both SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, GMail, takes too long to receive notifications.
I do not know if he was already with this bug when the phone was with Lollipop 5.0.1 with (ALE-L21C432B200) and EMUI 3.0
I have not had time yet to reset the phone to factory settings and verify that fixed the bug, I will do this weekend week :fingers-crossed:
Can someone help me?

Check battery management and give access to work in the background for apps You need. Eventually check notification centre too.

Yes, I've been checking battery management if everything with access to work in the background for apps, and it seems to be ok and notification center too.
It continues with the same delay / bug
I hope this weekend to reset the phone to factory settings and verify if it keeps the same problem.
Check Wi-Fi sleep, and set it to off from Power Saving tab

I checked and is always on, no sleep.
Today is the day, I'm going to reset the phone to factory settings and then check if all is ok.
I'll be back once I have the result:fingers-crossed:
Before starting to reset the phone to factory settings, I made backup all my personal files and a recovery with TWRP if something wrong happened.
It seems to be all right after the whole process
I receive all notifications like any other phone in normal operation, no delay :good:
But before I celebrate, I will be alert to phone with daily use to make sure that everything continued well.
Thanks for all the help :good:
Hi guys,
I've been searching all over the show but can't seem to find leaked Nougat firmware for my device :/ it's a C183 released in New Zealand. Anyone know if there was actually firmware leaked for the C183 region?
cheers

I purchased the 2 degrees stock firmware for NXT-L09_C183B130_Firmware_New Zealand_Brightstar NZ Limited_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_05013NLM
Link is here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3pCekrpvWeaNk5meFMtR1dadms/view?usp=sharing
I have that version, I updated to B330 and my cust get broke (C900), but the system with EMUI 4.1 works fine, I tried to update to nougat but the system does not allow with C605 and C432. Maybe with other version work the update.
Yeah I also purchased through 2degrees. Unfortunately it seems firmware for this region hasn't been released still... I was expecting an update back in Feb. Frustrating.
Iv'e still seen nothing
I remember when I was using the Mate2, there were countless debates if/when LL5 was going to be released.
Huawei stated by the first half of 2015. It was released I think it was JUNE 30TH...the "last" day of the first
half of 2015.
If that holds true this time, then they announced Nougat 7 for the Mate 8, "by the end of the 1st quarter of 2017"
would mean...by March 31st. Just something to think about.
Personally, I'm holding off. I can wait. I use a BT headset for the phone, and use it A LOT. The past 4 phones I've
had, I've never used it by holding the phone to my ear, only through the headset. I've seen scattered reports of
issues (not just the Huawei phones), of glitches with bluetooth on nougat.
Marshmellow for me, on the mate8 is VERY stable, so it's a choice. If you gotta have the latest/greatest, there are
sources you can find to download it, but, if you want stable, you might want to wait a while.

Nope still no sign of c183 nougart firmware and now it's may. I am beginning to believe that Huawei are not going to release firmware for this region. It may be potentially due to the poor sales of the device in the region. Who knows. I have not been able to find a single other firmware variant that will flash to the phone. It's disappointing that we've been let down like this with it being a flagship device.
Does anyone have the backup of the cust for this region firmware? I will Rollback my update from 330 (Where I lost my cust), and I will try to change the region, Does anyone tried to change the region to get updates?

these were taken from partition backup manager a few months ago ...these are from NZ L09-C183B150 EMUI 4.0
I have managed to upgrade to Nougat EMUI 5 using firmware finder without root or unlocking boot loader....following L29-636 Starting from file from B180 I didn't change cust but after first update it changed to L29 636 and has had no problems at all
The B585 is smooth and I have had no issues with batter drain or restarts at all...very happy with this after 3 weeks no problems at all.
The only issue was that after B330 which updated successfully, I did discover that my bootloader did get unlocked so I used DC Unlocker to re lock again which cost me 6 credits....now unrooted and bootloader locked.

This is not for the faint hearted , You need to make sure you have backups of oem.info and cust for for the NZ model.
Also have the NZ firmware update app if needed, here on my google drive....unzip and place extracted update.app onto your SDCARD in dload folder
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3pCekrpvWeaNk5meFMtR1dadms/view?usp=sharing
Using HCU Client read phone info take a a screen shot with repair UMTS with of your serial number, imei number, & sub imei, WIFI & bluetooth MAC vendor etc...store this on your PC because you may need these settings if you lose modem settings after unbricking from DC Phoenix
I then would recommend that you have DC Phoenix on stand by and bookmark this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/nxt-c900b180-to-nxt-l29c432b330-easily-t3611500 even though its for 432 it will still get you unbricked if it all goes sour.
Now....just to clarify I was on stock firmware L09C185B130 same as your model (shared from link above)with locked bootloader and no root make sure you have developer mode enabled and OEM unlock enabled.
If any of the above is confusing then I would recommend that you go no further.
1st Install Firmware finder and and Firmware finder proxy. enable proxy port in wifi settings ie localhost port 8080
2nd Open FF go to settings and enable USE PROXY TO INSTALL disable SHOW PACKAGES FROM CURRENT REGION
3rd Open go back to FF start and type in NXT-L09636 and click search go to the first and lowest firmware which is B170 download and then install via proxy thru normal update it will show up in Phone settings system update if it doesn't then go back into FF settings and tell it to use proxy to install and then push system update to detect.
This should install without any hitches but you will notice now your firmware will be c900b170
goto FF again and choose the next firmware which is 180 then 193 then 211 etc etc when you get to 330 you will have to trial and error which file will work, I started with the largest full OTA but I dont remember in the end which one worked I think I had 3 or 4 goes if it fails it will stop at 15% and then stop you will have to force reboot thru holding power key but it should boot to normal and then just try another firmware of the same number.
when you get to b330 you should find you have changed to L29636B330 but you will now have unlocked bootloader? not sure why? anyway....keep trial and error updates until you get to B585
Hope it works good luck

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/nxt-c900b180-to-nxt-l29c432b330-easily-t3611500 even though its for 432 it will still get you unbricked if it all goes sour.
Now....just to clarify I was on stock firmware L09C185B130 same as your model (shared from link above)with locked bootloader and no root make sure you have developer mode enabled and OEM unlock enabled.
If any of the above is confusing then I would recommend that you go no further.
1st Install Firmware finder and and Firmware finder proxy. enable proxy port in wifi settings ie localhost port 8080
2nd Open FF go to settings and enable USE PROXY TO INSTALL disable SHOW PACKAGES FROM CURRENT REGION
3rd Open go back to FF start and type in NXT-L09636 and click search go to the first and lowest firmware which is B170 download and then install via proxy thru normal update it will show up in Phone settings system update if it doesn't then go back into FF settings and tell it to use proxy to install and then push system update to detect.
This should install without any hitches but you will notice now your firmware will be c900b170
goto FF again and choose the next firmware which is 180 then 193 then 211 etc etc when you get to 330 you will have to trial and error which file will work, I started with the largest full OTA but I dont remember in the end which one worked I think I had 3 or 4 goes if it fails it will stop at 15% and then stop you will have to force reboot thru holding power key but it should boot to normal and then just try another firmware of the same number.
when you get to b330 you should find you have changed to L29636B330 but you will now have unlocked bootloader? not sure why? anyway....keep trial and error updates until you get to B585
Hope it works good luck

When you converted your L09 to L29 did u get dual sim menu in Settings?
I want to crossflash my L09C432 to L29C432 so i can use dual sim function.
It works on Mate 9 and P10 singel sim when crossflash.
Just want to check if it is the same on Mate 8?

I change the region and the model to L29C636, thanks to Mickie's helps, my steps:
1. I install the B330, wich a get from the Firmware official thread, and I used the 3 button method.
2. With SRK Tool, unlok the bootloader and get root .
3. Again with SKR Tool, change the region, (Change oeminfo and custom bin) to Asia (C636) and model (L29).
4. Donwload and Install the L29C636B330 (3 button method), I have to make a Factory Reset, with this firmware I lost the root and get locked the bootloader.
5. When I start normally, automatically get the update by OTA to L29C636B563.

Did u get dual sim settings when u crossflashed? Did u have L09 before crossflash?

Oh boy, Huawei trying to screw us all over. Magisk apparently is no longer working, so no root for once a new OTA installs for Huawei devices.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77415750&postcount=6555

New issue on Huawei Phones - Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P9 - Huawei roll out a new OTA called: "patch01". In the changelog is some fix mentioned (example: mms...) but the main patch is to disable the possibility of Root.
That means: if someone flash Magisk with TWRP, or flash patched_boot.img to ramdisk and reboot the phone, Phone get stuck on the splash screen: "Your device cannot be trusted..."
Only flashing back the original Huawei ramdisk.img helps to boot again to system. But no Root with Magisk is anymore possible.
Downgrade helps (if available, because for some Phones like Mate 10 it is dangerous to downgrade, if the Downgrade Firmware has another Xloader.img... but this is another story)
→ So, for Users of Huawei Phones it is better not to install OTA with Patch01 and disable Systemupdate in /system/app/HwOUC - rename HwOUC.apk to HwOUC.bak
I attach here the patch from Huawei for P9 - may you take a look, thanks

I have dm-verity always off (not enabled in Magisk Manager) and I have also avb disabled in /vendor/etc/fstab.ext4.hi.... and fstab.f2fs.hi.... (I have different Huawei devices)
To make the issue clearer here is another summary:
I made a Rebrand Thread for Huawei P9-EVA here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/...9-eva-t3820849
The main reason for this is to allow users to unofficially update their device to Android 8 Oreo. Huawei has rolled out the Oreo OTA update in China, but has no plans to release this update outside of China. Although Oreo runs much better on the devices.
To make this possible, root is an important part, otherwise the mobile network will not work on the rebranded devices. Many users were very happy because they can now also use Oreo Treble Roms by the Open Kirin Team.
Okay → Devices rebranded to EVA-AL10 and updated to the official Oreo Firmware b528. With some modification everything is working fine.
→ Yesterday OTA Patch01 was available. I flashed the unmodified original Huawei ramdisk.img, uninstalled Magisk Manager and flashed the original EMUI Recovery. Then I agreed to the OTA update. The update was succesful installed.
After that I flashed the Magisk patched_ramdisk.img again, but the phone did not boot → it booted only with original b528 ramdisk.img
We were three people who tested it. Me and @dkionline and @zgfg We tried everything that came to our mind. → flashing first original ramdisk and kernel.img and booted to system. Then flashing patched ramdisk.img b528 with Magisk 16, Magisk 16.7 with flag "force encryption" and without "force encryption" (related to - if device is with data encrypted or data decrypted)
Flashing TWRP was not a problem, and together with the original Huawei ramdisk.img phone was able to start to system. To get Root again, we must downgraded to b528 without this Patch.
→ The Patch includes a Fix for mms and Fix for gaming (changes a Line in a local.prop) and it includes also a Kernel patch.
Looking back, we should have tested a little more. What we did not test → making dd with TWRP from ramdisk.img after the OTA Patch and then patch the "dump" ramdisk.img with Magisk. → Maybe that would have worked - we do not know it now and I do not feel like reproducing it again. But perhaps @zgfg can try this in a view days (he did not downgrade yet, because he is outside).
With this last test we could say it for sure, if the Kernel patch includes something to make Huawei Phones unbootable together with Magisk.
And coincidentally I read then in the Mate 10 forum that there also a user (with ALP-L29c636) got an OTA with a Patch01 and similar problem " I got a patch notification so I download it, rebooted and the patch installed (phone booted and I checked version and it was patch1). Cool. So then I rooted using magisk and phone was soft bricked..." : https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&postcount=256
My first thought was simple, Huawei is now trying to prevent root with this patch01 and much confirms this theory....
→ Bootloader Unlock Site closed
→ TrustSpace is a new App in system which definitely check and disable Root (we had this app disabled and two of us has it deleted in system)
→ Downgrade with unofficial methods become danger for hardbrick, because of two different Xloader.img in the Firmware (Mate 10)

Big thanks to @Tecalote for bringing this to my attention.
Not sure if this will hit the Honor 7x, it probably will. I am prepared for the worst, really hate it when Huawei does this.
Its looking like Huawei just shot themselves in the foot on this if its infact the case, there is nothing worse then developers getting middle fingered and scorned. If you think a Developer using a fork (github joke) is dangerous just wait till they nuke that commit/submit button! This is not going to bold well for honor/huawei
As i have already stated if this turns out to be Honor/Huawei out right middle fingering devs and users choice I will be looking for another phone pronto.

Holy shiet
Yes, i can confirm this, please do not flash that Patch01, it will make your device stuck on boot message after you flash magisk.
I'm on Huawei Nova 2s.

How can you tell if you've gotten the Patch01 update?
My phone is currently BND-L24 8.0.0.341(C567), with a July 1 2018 Android security patch.
For the link you posted im assuming id have to use "B) If the TWRP for your device has not access to encrypted /data then you can do the following:"
The site here http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model= that has firmware doesn't seem to show 8.0.0.341? Should I use BND-L24AC567B330 (8.0.0.330) because it seems to be an update from May, and when I google my build number Huawei tweeted that it was a May security update? Or will using that brick my phone? Of the availible BND-L24 firmwares, which one should I use?
Also do I already need TWRP installed? can I do that on my unrooted device?

You can see it in System->About.
See at Build Number section, it will be printed XXX-XXXX X.X.X.XXX(XXXPatch01).
You can use Huawei Firmware Finder : https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
Go to Common Base menu, and set (click gear button) this value (G:2649 g:1699), that value is identifier for Honor 7x.
And type L24 in the search box.
After that, click on search button (magnifier glass button), you'll see all available updates for Honor 7x.
And there you go, all of firmware lists for Honor 7x L24.
I made some screenshot for you.
Enjoy.
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.

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?

You should use the app to upgrade not to download the firmware.

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...

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.

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...?

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.
