Hi, i would like to know how can i install the official upgrwde, after download it from huawei website?
Step by step please... it's my 1st android...
Cheers
There should be a step by step guide at the Huawei web site. So double check there first.
If you have a "dload" file from Huawei, then all you should need to do is put it on your sdcard and reboot your device. When your S7 turns on you should see a progress bar. When the update is complete remove your battery..... do not push the power button, it will cause the device to redo the update. Remove your sdcard from the S7 and remove the "dload" file from it (via card reader or hub connected to your PC). Once the dload file is no longer on your sdcard you can put it back to use in the S7.
Upon rebooting, you should see the update has taken hold. To verify, look in " About Device" in your settings menu.

Make sure you don't have a dload folder inside a dload folder if you have got a zipped file.
Dload in the root directory of sdcard and the update files in the dload folder!
The Huawei Firmware Finder app indicates that there is an OTA update for the Tab (BTV-DL09C100B009). It is 424 MB. I could download it but I don't know how to install it. The zip contains several .dat files and two folders besides the 'UPDATE.APP' file.
Meanwhile the Tab's own HiCare app cannot find any update.
My version number is still BTV-DL09C100B006.
Some help would be appreciated.
Just follow the steps of Firmware finder
1. ckick rom
2. click download
3.click chek MD5
4. click move to DLOAD
5. tunoff device
6. Press ALTOGETHER : Vol UP + Vol DOWN + POWER
wait a few seconds and MUI screen apears to install Firmware
Thanks, but in this case (incremental OTA) it does not seem to be the right solution.
The Firmware Finder copies only the update.app to the dload folder. That file is just 75 MB from the 433-MB-big whole package. The rest of the files and folders inside the ZIP are omitted.
So, another method should be used but I don't know what.

You can try to unpacked update after point 3 and before point 4 that SJGSM wrote!
Let's me if it's ok now!

YES sorry I missed Step 4.
You have 5 steps in Firmware Finder:
1. CHANGELOG
2. DOWNLOAD
3. CHECK MD5
4. UNPACK UPDATE
5. MOVE TO DLOAD
Any way it is always better to Install FULL FIRMWARE Rather than Incremental UPDATE, It only takes a few minutes longer but you have a FULL FIRMWARE UPDATE with all your data saved.
You can also use Firmware Finder for Windows and donwload your firmware, then you just have to copy the UNPACKED File UPDATE.APP to the: ( dload ) folder in your External SD

If you have already UNZIPPED the download file, Just copy ALL the UNZIPPED files to an dload Folder in your Externalñ SD. If you dont have one Just create a New Folder in your ExtSD and RENAME it : dload
Then Power OFF and press: (Vol Up +Vol DOWN + POWER ) and the system will recognize the UPDATE.APP file in the MUI screen

I did exactly the same what you wrote. And I flashed the update with the method you suggested. Everything went smoothly - seemingly.
(I am not totally noob, this is the fifth Huawei device I've been handling. My current phone is Huawei P9 Plus and I've put on all the new ROM versions 'by hand' becauce OTA did not come.)
But something was wrong because
a) the update process went through too fast, just a couple of seconds from 0 to 100%.
b) the version number has not changed. I still have BTV-DL09C100B006,
c) the dload folder and the whole extracted package in it were not deleted after the process, remained on the SD card.
So I suspect that only the UPDATE.APP was installed, the rest of the package not. The M3 now keeps working normally but unfortunately there is one problem: the tab lost its 4G (LTE) capability after the update, now the phone radio works only in 3G and/or GSM mode.
You are right, a full ROM flashing is always better, more secure but there is NO full ROM available for this Tab! I've searched the whole net and found only OTAs for the M3. I'd like to get back the normal functionality because I bought the device exactly to have quick access to the internet everywhere.
So I don't know what to do. If you or somebody else could find a full ROM for the device I'd be very grateful!
Problem solved!
Problem solved!
Earlier I tried to update the M3 with HiSuite but there was no package available at that time. Now, after my unsuccessful manual update, I connected the Tab to my notebook again and ran HiSuite. And voilá: now it offered the B009 update.
The install went without problem and now I have BTV-DL09C100B009. The LTE data capability came back, and everything works well so far.
Anyway, thanks to those who tried to help!
I have downloaded a firmware file from firmware finder but I didn't see anywhere how to check MD5. The file unzipped OK but I don't want to install until I check MD5. Where is the MD5 information for each download firmware?

I found a site with a tutorial on how to install Android 7.0 on P9 lite.On version VNS-L31C636B361 there are 3 files, and acording to them, you need to follow these steps:
Extract the contents of the zip files you downloaded from above.
Create a folder named “dload” in the root directory of your device’s SDcard.
Copy all the extracted contents of the zips into the dload folder.
Open the dialer app and dial *#*# 2846579#*# *
Select Project Menu > Software upgrade > SDcard upgrade > confirm the installation.
The firmware will begin installing and once that is done your device will reboot automatically.
But the problem is, if I extract all the contents from all 3 files, some of them have the same name and overwrite, and when I try to install by *#*# 2846579#*# *, it stops after 5% and gives me fail error.
What is the correct way to install and why are there 3 separate files ? (also, do I need to have some settings ? the phone should be connected to PC while installing ? )
Thank you very much!
What model you have?
Seems you have another oeminfo...
i have the same problem, it runs now on version vns-l31c432b161, if a want to install android 7 i get the same message as above

the omeinfo is 100% the same, otherwise if would have said its not compatible.The problem is there are 3 different files for this model to download, and if u extract them in the same folder, they overwrite ? What is the correct way to install them ?

EDIT: i tried again and it stucks on 5%, doesnt say anything.
Good to know!
If you are in MM 6.0 you can not go to Nougat 7.0 without some preparation until Huawei release official version.
I you are already in Nougat 7.0 (B3xx) you can go to B360-B361, directly with Sdcard upgrade or with three keys pressed method.
U dint answer my question though.Let me be more clear.
Here is a tutorial on how to install Android 7.0 on P9 Lite: http://www.droidviews.com/update-huawei-p9-lite-manually-official-android-7-0-nougat-emui-5-0/
On my model, there are 3 files:
4. VNS-L31C636B361
update.zip
update_data_full_VNS-L31_B360_hw_meafnaf.zip
update_data_full_VNS-L31_B361_hw_meafnaf.zip
and they say
Extract the contents of the zip files you downloaded from above.
Create a folder named “dload” in the root directory of your device’s SDcard.
Copy all the extracted contents of the zips into the dload folder.
But some of the files from these 3 .zips have the same name, and when I copy them in the same folder, they overwrite.
Is that tutorial sh1t ?
Hi,
I have a problem with my P8 lite I bought today from some guy. It's stuck on boot logo, I tried wipe cache, factory reset, nothing helps. Tried fastboot, but my phone is locked in a nice green color. Can't unlock it since I don't know any numbers (IMEI, serial, firmware, etc), neither do I have the original package, so basically I'm stuck there. Tried the 3 button method with a 4Gb SD card and a "dload" folder on it with an "UPDATE.APP", still nothing, at 5% it says "Software update failed! Get help from ..... ". Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I watched some youtube videos and saw some guy putting the "dload" folder in the internal memory but since the phone is bricked I can't access it. Maybe that's the issue? Or do I have to use a card adapter instead of my old android phone for data transfers? Pardon my English, I'm more of a speaker than a writer. Any help will be appreciated.
Update: tried software b895(vodafone), now it said "incompatibility with current version" instead of "get help". Am I getting any closer?

I tried UPDATE.APP, because if I get it right, UPDATE.ZIP is only flashable through TWRP, is that correct? I'm doing everything with the 3 button method, anything I try just fails. And upload to SD takes so long that I'm starting to lose patience... Maybe there's some custom ROM that can be flashed through UPDATE.APP? Maybe it's possible to make (convert) one? I'm new to this phone and I swear, this has got to be the most annoying phone ever... I've never encountered such problems with Samsung or Sony phones. Thank you for trying to help because I don't have a single clue of what is going on, since it just says "get help".... Yea, I'm trying to. What about the Vodafone firmwares, why is it telling me that the version is incompatible with my current software? Does it mean that I have to find another version of Vodafone firmware or that I have to use something other than that?

Wait!
The update.zip can be flash with the 3 keys to, only need to be in internal or external memory. Only need to delete the dload folder.
Try rollback update.zip, you need it to unlock cust.
Tell me if you made it.

Could you explain more thoroughly please? I tried changing UPDATE.APP extension to UPDATE.ZIP just by renaming the file, put it on a blank SD card (deleted dload folder), but no luck... I read somewhere that this phone could have had a custom firmware installed and that's why it won't budge? Is it possible for example to install TWRP or any custom firmware like AICP and etc. with this method? Then I wouldn't have any issues.

Don't change the extension... Don't extract the update.app from the zip, just let the zip like it is and paste it into internal or external storage, is a flashebel zip and works like update.app.

Hi, I've tried alot of them, just googling and downloading everything that says "ALE-L21", eventhough I'm not even 100% sure about that. For example this one:
Huawei P8 Lite Rollback Package (ALE-L21 C900B500, Android 6.0 to Android 5.0
I don't think this is the right one, Update.app doesn't work, these zips don't work, persona78 mentioned something about META-INF folder, but I can't find a rollback package like that anywhere, I saw some firmwares with that folder inside but they don't seem to work. If I knew exactly what I need to find and do then there would be no problem at all.

You P8 Lite is dual-sim, correct?
If so, try this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73230358&postcount=2
Put it on a folder inside the SD card:
1- Try creating a "dload" folder with just the update.app AND the update.zip
2- If you have space or with doesn't work, delete the previous and just put the update.app AND the update.zip in the SD CARD main folder.
Let us see if you have luck

Yea, it is dual sim. The last time I tried b895 it said "incompatibility with current version". And the others just don't seem to work. But I will try once more the way you told me.
