I just received the information that there is a new OTA update WAS-LX1AC432B184, but it failed to install I think because it want to patch the system, vendor and custom partition instead of adding file. With Firmware Finder I found the full version, is there a way I can force my phone to use the full version and not the OTA to do the update?
Will it delete all of may files?
Thanks
I believe it will wipe your phone so you will lose all data.
To force the update put the 'update.app' file in a folder named 'dload' (if no dload folder just make one) to the root of your sd card.
With the phone dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and select software upgrade or, turn your phone off and press and hold volume up and down buttons and power on the phone, this will force update.
You could also contact Huawei support (via Hi Care App) who might be able to help you install the failed update.
i received notification for WAS-LX1AC432B185 (i have the 4 GB version)
update failed, because i had TWRP flashed and after reboot it tried to flash the update in TWRP.
so, i flashed stock recovery in fastboot and then the update was succesfull.

I tried the same, but it doesn't work. I added the update of some System application inside the System Directory and I think that this is the Problem.
Reading the script for the update/rebrand for Mate9 and P10 I found this command:
$ADB shell "echo --update_package=$TARGET_UPDATE > /cache/recovery/command"
if I download only update.zip from Full-MT through Firmware Finder and copy it for example in /dload (adb push update.zip /dload) and then launch
adb shell " echo /dload/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command"
adb reboot recovery
Will it update my phone without doing a factory reset like if it was an OTA update?
In the update.zip there are the full Version of System, Vendor and Custom Partition instead of only the patch files.
Thanks
I tried but it doesn't work.
I found a tricky solution.
I accepted and download the 3 update files then I don't do immediately the installation, but I substitute in the directory where they where stored (/data/update/HwOUC/serie of number) the update.zip with the full-OTA that I downloaded through FF. I had to change owner, group and SE contest with that of the original file.
After that I tell the system update to perform the update.
The phone rebooted and the update started at end I received an error message, the system rebooted showing the old version B182 but patch updated to 1st September.
Immediately I receive a notification of a system update, but this time the FULL-OTA was proposed I did again the update and this time everything works fine. NOw my Telephone is B184
After that I had to reinstall TWRP and reroot it.
Hope it helps

Hello
it's easy to understand.
huawei needs the recovery stock to install.
so, just delete twrp.
To do it just with adb and fastboot, flash recovery.img of your version.
** control / fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
now, download your ota update.
he will install it.
or you can find recovery stock, In the update.app (open with huawei extrator), recover the file you wanted.

have you tested the update with HiSuite?
just connect the phone to the pc, hisuite turns on, and press click on update system.
For me, it works, b160 he offers me b370 and then b380.
Yeah same problems with hisuite then.. I even have tried dload still errors then

I said my last words with you.
I still have a solution.
I will put the firmware vns-l31c432b394 the latest on my google drive.
Like, you could install twrp and the root.
I suppose you knew how to return to MM (c432b160). ok for you.
so,
since, vns-l31c432b160, bootloader code, install twrp for MM, went to wipe, check all except SD card and wipe to wipe. back, back, go to install, install update.zip and install the data full l31.zip.
reboot.
There you go.
problem will be a little longt, it takes time to send it in google-drive.
he tells me 8am so tomorrow I give you the google-drive link.

[SOLVED] Hi i was on l-31c432b381 firmware with emui 5.0 and android 7.0, i have unlocked the bootloader for install magisk 12.0 and have root permissions, after months i saw an update for my phone (b389) so i tried to upgrade but i had twrp so error 1 or 7, i flashed the stock recovery, redowload the update and the install failed at 5%, so i tried to unistall magisk before update, but nothing it wont update, after few tries the upgrader says that the update now is not 300mb but is full and is 2gigs, so i think is the time.. but no. so i tried to force the update with 3 buttons recovery dload method but it doesn't work at all 5% at every try. so i searched for support and i found that the ota connot be installed on unlocked devices, so i tried to relock my bootloader with oem relock and the unlock number but it says root type is risk... so i can't even relock my bootloader.. other says that i have to install to relock or can relock... but is b381 the stock? or they instend the mm version? i don't remember what version p9 lite ships. i tried to flash imgs through fastboot but even if i flash system and boot of the b389 the system boot and the info are of the b381, unisatlling app system crash, so i restored my previous backup made through twrp recovery, i immidiatly noticed that the huawei boot animations was gone and was an android stock animation. i thinked it was fine and all was working properly, i give up o upgrade and i was fine but sad. after few hours i tried to make a paper copy with my printer that have nfc but my phone keep shows and hide nfc symbol like on off on off on off over and over even after reboot, after a call i understand that the audio doesn't was working, every type of audio not work even the mic. i don't see any other problems but without sounds is unusable as a phone or mulimedia things... sorry for bad english please HELP i tried all i founded ...

Hi, my english is bad too , B389 is an OTA update, its impossible upgrade via fstboot or via TWRP (error 7). IMO the right way to fix your problems - downgrade to MM , then back to Nougat etc. (remove pattern Lock , Fingerprint lock, root etc. before installing downgrade). It will erase all your phone data!!!
Download official rollback package for your VNS-L31C432
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and download MM firmware VNS-L31C432B161 (Single SIM)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip
1) Create a new folder dload in root directory of SD card (root directory : it means dont put it in any folder .) Now unpack the rollback package and copy its contents “UPDATE.APP” to the “dload” folder. Use the 3 button combo installation. After your firmware version should now be on “B300” or "test-keys".
2) Remove from dload folder rollback package, extract the ZIP file with MM firmware to the dload folder and use 3 combo button installation.
Or you can use this method : on your phone launch the phone dialer app and dial *#*#2846579#*#*. Next, select Project Menu – > Software upgrade – > SDcard upgrade – > and confirm the flashing process that is about to be initiated.
Good luck!

Yes, you can. Via OTA, or you can use TWRP (Meticulus 3.0.2.0 only ! ) and flash both .zip files. You must download two files:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v80474/f1/full/update.zip
and
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip.
In TWRP set Install, then select memmory SD card, and klick on
update.zip, confirm installation. After, STAY in TWRP, go back to Install, find file ...hw_eu....zip , confirm installation. Then select rebot system. Done!

Try it, but I think, you will get a message "not compatible" . Via dload its impossible, IMO use rather Huawei firmware finder or wait for OTA update.

FF works with proxy fine, but you must first download and install Firmware finder proxy apk. On Nougat use TWRP 3.1.0-2.

OMG, sorry !
I have a P8 Lite Ale-L21 which is in good condition. Since 2 months my phone has been notifying me to do update. My phone is running on android 6 marshmallow which I updated to 2 years ago. The build no. of my phone is Ale-l21c185b525. The update for build no. L21c185b574 is available on the updater. So when I tap to update it to that , the updater gives a warning that says :
Your system has been altered.You will have to download the latest full update package to complete the update.
Two options come with it that are cancel and update. I tap update. It just keeps on loading but no update happens.
I have also downloaded firmware files of this build number c185b574. I did the whole process of extracting the zip file into that dload folder of root folder of internal storage. Then I went to the updater and tried to do update. But it still gives that same warning which it gives usually and does not update. It just loads for a minute but then nothing happens. Then I tried to do force update by pressing the power button with the volume buttons. It goes into installing update mode. It goes on 5 percent and then gives a warning which says error installing update and gives a link of emui.com mod restore. I did check out that link. It just redirected me to emui.com of huawei. I have done everything I can to do update. But it seems that my phone is not keeping up to my expectations. So please help me. Its urgent.
The best way in my opinion it's do it through TWRP, so you should unlock the bootloader before
Make sure the FULL update file is in internal and external storage (don't extract UPDATE.APP, just put that file into dload directory on internal and external storage) and then in the updater app choose local update.
I received the 10.3.5.0.PFGINXM on my RN7 Indian version. I downloaded the update(700 mb approx) , but when i rebooted to recovery i was greeted with a message saying that "update.zip failed , the file is corrupted" . When i rebooted back to system , the new update was the entire file ( 1.7 gb) . I downloaded again and then proceeded to reboot. I got the same error again. This happened 3-4 times , with me having to download the update anew each time.
But now , i cant actually see any update when i check the system update . I am on 10.2.11.0 and it shows me no updates.
Funny thing is , when i check my file system for folder "downloaded_rom" , the zip found there(1.7gb one) does not open in a zip file viewer, saying the file is corrupted. But a zip which i manually downloaded from the bigota website, that zip easily opens in a zip viewer.
