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.

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.

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 it reach 5% in like 3 sec and then fail
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.
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
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

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.

First excuse me for opening an other thread like this, i think i have read all other threats regarding my problem, but none have the same situation
My Huawei M3 Wifi (BTV-W09) seems semi bricked after installation of Nougat Update.
The Installation (Force Install with dload) gave me an error and also while boot i got the error message: "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly."
I have the option to press "Powerbutton" and the device will boot up. I checked the Version and it showed android 7 + EMUI 5. The only problem was that almost every system app was missing, like keyboard, calendar etc. (playstore was there)
So i tried to do the rollback with:
HUAWEI MediaPad M3 8 Rollback Package%28BTV-W09 %2CC900B300%2C EMUI5.0%2BAndroid7.0 rollback to EMUI4.1%2BAndroid 6.0%29
The Installtion (force update) gets stuck at 5% and after like 3-5 minutes the tablet will boot up showing the same boot error that can be skipped with pressing powerbutton. I checked sytem and it still showed "android 7 + EMUI 5" but built : BTV-W09C900B300
I think this is the one i "need" to be able to install the "HUAWEI MediaPad M3 8 Firmware %28BTV-W09 %2CC100B006%2C EMUI4.1%2BAndroid 6.0%29"
Problem is regardless which "update.app" i try to force install will get stuck at 5% and give me same error. I have ADB/Fastboot installed and tried some different things like flashing/unbricking it with "Huawei Multitool" where you can extract like boot.img or recovery.img and try to flash it.
Also getting an error. I can access eRecovery witout problems, the option to fix it by itself by wifi doesn`t work. I can´t access "normal" recovery and i think there is the problem (may got bricked while flashing Nougat?) I think its recovery problem, cause when i boot it up to the "half-installed" Android and go into setting "hard-reset" option i know it would boot up intoi recovery and would erease everything, while bootup it shows error "reset failed".
In fastbootmode i see bootloader: unlocked FRM: unlocked
I tried to install TWRP recovery with adb but get error: adb remote command not allowed
I downloaded like 15 different Android Versions 6+7 Emui 4.1+5 to try with force update but none worked, may i have to flash special version of recovery first?
I just want a normal version of android 6 or 7 i dont mind but at the moment with half working 7 "without" systemapps its a hardtime.
I hope someone can help me.
This isnt my first android device and im not a total noob i unlocked bootloader and flashed kernels on many other phones but with the W-09 where i did nothing special i dont get why "recovery got broken"
Thanks in advance
You haven't read other threads too well: more times people reported that the bootloader got locked after an update still declaring itself unlocked!
Second thing you have not found: the Nougat update consist of 2 packages and the second must be installed from TWRP.

thanks for your anwser, i read that so i also tried unlocking it "again" and it quotet it is also unlocked in adb. I also know that there are 2 packages. That you need TWRP i didnt know thanks so i am a bit smater now. I think i ll try "relock" and unlock it again might be the right way, thanks for the tip.

i cant unlock cause i dont have the code, on the huawei page i try do make an account and get the code by providing the necessary information.
I just uploaded a picture, i choose "before EMUI5" cause this is the only option i can choose "tablets". --> i choose "tablet wifi" , enter product model "BTV-W09" then the serialnumber i can see in setting: 28D6R17316XXXXXX but then i have the problem to input product id, it say i can get it through "Dialer" app (which i dont have in wifi model ) or the calculator. Problem is in my damaged installation there is no huawei calc, other calcs from store dont work (read that problem in other threats) I tried many apps from appstore to get a product ID but huawei site keeps saying wrong product ID =/
With the program DC Unlocker i am able to see a MEID i dont know if its the right one, i tried my luck with the Product ID Generator from Huawei but it doenst work. (device not supported)
It's very strange that it says bootloader unlocked if you have never unlocked...
And was very stupid to try to installl a beta release without before unlocking and taking a backup.
Exhange your device for a Nokia 3110!

yeah at this device i never touched bootloader, i didnt think it would become such a big deal , i didnt want unlocked bootloader or other recovery just newest android. Never had any problems with the "force update function" to come back to stock. I tried DC Unlocker but cant get further cause device need to get into manufature mode (thorugh dialer or calculator which i both dont have) i hope maybe i find one more way.
Did you ever find a fix
Did you ever find a way to fix this. I'm in the same situation. I even did a VPN on my router to give me a Hong Kong address for erecovery and that still didn't work. I have the exact same product. Like you I tried to various attempts to download a new recovery, but nothing works. Nice hardware, but some of the worst software/firmware I have ever dealt with since starting with the first release of Android on the HTC Hero.

I had mostly the same problem. I rolled back to 4.1 using the rollback and the actual 4.1 update.app. I think that puts you on C100 if I remember right. Tablet I have is C128 (USA) but no problem for this step. Get the Product ID from the calculator. Allow OEM unlock in the settings, then unlock it using the unlock code. Email yourself the unlock code because who knows if their website will even be functional next time. Alternatively you can extract the stock calculator from the update_data_usa.zip or whatever and try to use DC with 5.0. That second update zip does not install properly via the dload method, so a bunch of stock apps don't get installed. You can kind of hack it and flash it via TWRP but I didn't do it that way.
Or...you can use firmware finder to force an OTA from 4.1 right up to 5.0 (350), then take that last partial OTA to 351 after as well. The way to do that is via DNS in firmware finder. Find the Full OTA in firmware finder you want, send it to the updater by changing your DNS the way it tells you to, and when it does the OTA, everything will be properly installed basically the official way. Good as new. Flash TWRP to recovery2 and replace the erecovery. Keep the stock recovery as is. Install magisk. Golden.

Also, as far as the rollback, you need to do the first one (the C900 which is just a compatibility fix to allow rollback, previously used by beta testers I believe). Then you need to do the second one, the C100. If it is getting stuck, try downloading it again and be sure you don't have anything else in the /dload directory on either internal or the sd card. I had one on both at one point so maybe that happened to you. The C900 should be very quick but the C100 will slowly progress after 5% all the way around in several minutes.
When you get to updating back to 5.0, you can choose whichever region you want as long as it is a full OTA. C128 is USA and that's what I bought so that's what I picked. That gets you back in the right OTA update channel after that.
Hi guys,
I started as a novice and have learnt the hard way.
Has anyone tried rollback to EMUI 4.1 EU version on a US device (W09) and are there any problems I should be aware of?
I have had the exact same problem shared in this thread and have gone through the pain of finding a solution. My last resort is to rollback to 4.1 and restart the whole process.
@deV14nt: you suggested that when updating back to EMUI 5.0, I can choose the region even if my EMUI4.1 is EU version. How does this work?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi all,
I'm on WAS-LX1AC432B184 and i can't update via OTA because "no update" and I think there's update as a friend of mine has the same phone but different build numbers as i needed to unlock my dual sim capability.
When i bought my phone i could only use 1 sim then i changed it to a dual sim. Can this be the reason why i can't get updates? The guy that did the dual sim conversion told me that i will be able to get updates as normal but i don't at all.
Please help me get the latest update so that i can enjoy the new Android – 8.0 Oreo
Hey there, by looking at your build number, you've got a 3GB RAM variant (LX1 instead of LX1A) Dual SIM (even build number) P10 lite on the global cust (C432).
The strange thing is the build number, stuck at 184 when Nougat arrived at B209/210 (Oreo is at B360/361).
Maybe you did some kind of modification (root, bad EMUI flash in the past) to the system so you can't receive official Huawei updates via OTA?
Have you tried clicking on the top right in System Update > Download latest full package?
Just some guesses here…
Probably, the you're huawei p10 lite dual is a branded? Usualy these models is the very slow for porting major release.

Hi zYoshi,
the download latest full package is greyed out... i have done a dual sim conversion in the past not sure if it was done correctly but i got it done... is there anyway i can fix this?
I want to get new updates for my phone to be honest.

Hi sham_1
I sent you a guide wrote quickly in DM (for anyone who might need it, I left it here).
One quick question, now you have an even build number, right? That means that you are on a Dual-SIM firmware.
I suggest you to follow these steps and maybe wait some weeks because I did something similar too while Oreo was hitting Huawei's servers, but I received it only a month later, when the IMEI finally matched my firmware (the IMEI has to be approved in order to receive updates, suggest to "check firmware availability" on Firmware Finder).
"Hey,
I'm not so experienced in Huawei modding, but I managed to debrand my device from C55 to C432, so maybe it's worth a shot.
•
Anyways, try this:
- Download Firmware Finder from Play Store
- open it and click on WAS-LX1C432
- search for builds like B210 (must be an even number and not an Oreo B361, otherwise you can brick your device) choose a FullOTA
- click on update via proxy/DNS, follow the steps on screen
•
The important thing here is to know if the phone grants you into updating with that build, then failing in erecovery (detecting an error, no brick) so that you can reboot with not updated firmware and do a standard System Update from the settings, that update will contain the same build that you've got installed, but it will be used to basically overwrite everything without losing any data, even thought I suggest you to do a backup.
•
Before doing any of the steps I gave you, could you please describe me what you did, what method did you follow?
•
In this post, I am giving steps that worked for me when I had a corrupted firmware, but your problem may be different from this.
Check also the HWOTA method (to solve the same problem but with the warranty void, I suggest to use it only if the above method doesn't work), search "HWOTA P10 lite" on Google for more info.
•
Hope this helps

Hy,
December Update out now.
Greets
got it too, can't see any fixes though. on the plus side they dont seem to have broken anything either. can call this a "win" i guess
Wondering if people stuck on September version can finally update without resetting data.
Please let us know if you're in this group.

I would say the same. Can't expect anything better than this from these system updates.
until when mi a2 will receive updates? will this be the last?
Mi A1 was released with August 2017 security patch and received its last update on August 2020, something similar should happen for Mi A2 too.

I'm still in the September update.
Has anyone with the bootloader unlocked updated their phone? If yes, what were your steps to update it?
ota should work with an unlocked bl, IF you have not changed the system. unlocking means you could change it, it doesnt in itself deny ota updates

I´m also waiting for anyone that reported that made the update. I have Setember Update with bootloader unlocked because of camera2api, i don´t made any system changes, and i get all the updates until september without problemes. After that i get Bootloop on October and don´t update anymore. If anyone upgrade from setember with sucess please report.

you answered your own question. if you've unlocked AND made ANY changes to the system ota can bootloop ofcourse.
With unlocked bootloader factory reset is needed once and only once when updating from any version < 11.0.15.0 (October patch) to any version >=11.0.15.0 regardless of update method (OTA or fastboot reflashing). I suspect that Xiaomy made breaking changes to /vendor and/or other system partitions in 11.0.15.0.
So if you want to fastboot flash 11.0.19.0 over 11.0.14.0 or 11.0.5.0 you will need to make factory reset or just flash with "flash_all.bat/sh".
I've seen reports here that factory reset was also required on fully stock phones when receiving 11.0.15.0 October OTA, and I am really sorry for those users, as they had no chance to update with full recovery of user data.
Those having unlocked bootloader can make full recovery of user data after reset using TWRP backup of /data partition, guide is here:

I believe neither Xiaomi nor Google can answer this question.
Anyway,
1) right now factory reset for unlocked MiA2 is needed only once when updating from any previous ROM version to any currently available ROM version >= 11.0.15.0;
2) having unlocked phone one is sure that his data can be restored in any future mishap;
3) unfortunately unlocked phone prevents usage of most of banking apps unless Magisk + Riru + edXposed installed with MagishHide On and GooglePlayServices in Blocked List (SafetyNet issue).
So everyone decides himself whether to
a) keep phone untampered (with risk of loosing data with next OTA bootloop),
b) or unblock phone and then stay with updating stock (spending some time to get root, make SafetyNet passable, remove annoying settings suggestions, customize UI, etc.) ,
c) or unblock phone and then revert to Android 9 10.0.17.0 (disabling updates),
d) or unblock phone and then escape to a Custom ROM.
I personally prefer option (b) since my first Android gadgets (never bought a phone/tablet which had problems with rooting).
