Trying to update GRAL09-C470B210 from Android 5.0.1 and Emui 3.1 to Android 6 and Emui 4. For starters. If there's more to update even better. I've looked all over the threads and can't find my build and model and the update. I've looked on Huawei's website. I've done the phone Emui update search (no updates). Firmware Finder only has the GRA-L09 C470B210 OTA listed.
I'm new to updates so don't understand all the root and bootlog lingo.
Help!
C470 would indicate South-East Asia or Southern-Pacific (Aus/NZ) region - is this right? Also, is it Vodafone-branded by any chance?
If yes to both above, then Vodafone may not have released a Marshmallow (Android 6) update for the P8 in your area.
If you wanted, it is possible to manually update to a non-branded European firmware version (C432) if you like (see Steve039's post HERE dated 2016-Apr-24), & keep updating manually from then on, but I'm not sure how this is done safely (usually it's not recommended to update directly from one region's firmware to another, but it seems to work fine for some. Also, if it's a branded phone, then it usually also needs to be debranded before updating).
Once you are on a non-branded European firmware version (B200 or greater), you can update to the latest Marshmallow version, which is B393 at present: [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09 B393 27/02/17
It was purchased from eBay a few years ago as an International model. It is unbranded. I think it was either from a seller either in Hong Kong or Taiwan. I don't recall specifically. The hardware version is Grace UL VN1 if that makes any difference. It is unlocked. But I have never rooted it. I had updated it once, but did not keep track of what the actual update was for. I think it was to update to the B210 designation. Thank you for your help, I will look into the Euro conversion and see if it's something that I can do. I definitely want to update at least to Android 6.
No problem, I've done a search & can confirm for the Taiwanese version, B210 was the last official update released for the GRA-L09: http://consumer.huawei.com/tw/support/downloads/index.htm?keyword=GRA-L09
So, you should go for the European version if you are able to safely update to it. Make sure to make a restorable data backup (of texts, contacts, photos, etc as applicable) before attempting the update.
So, since my phone is unbranded, I should be able to switch to the European firmware, just above the B200, then make the jump all the way to the latest firmware?
And this would be done via a Local Update, correct?
I'm reading through everything in the meantime, thanks for all your help.
Yes, should be possible, but don't try anything for now until I (or someone else) can confirm it's safe to do & the procedure to follow.
The procedure may involve initially unlocking the bootloader & rooting your phone, but more on that later.

So I've managed to find a treasure trove of firmwares for the Chinese model. Particularly interesting is that many early beta versions are available, from before release. Although there really may not be anything useful yet, I should be able to find new updates before they are released. Here is a list of all that's available. If you need any of these files, let me know. Note that anything under 1GB is most likely an OTA, though.

Nice thread, thank you. Where did you get NXT-AL10C00B163 (164MB) ?
Is this the next OTA?
I have the Chinese 128 GB version, living in Italy, and yet didn't get this update.
nope, B163 seemed to be just an internal testing or beta version. current chinese firmware is B165, u should get it sometime in the near future via OTA (provided, of course, ure still all stock, i.e. no root, no unlocked bootloader, no custom recovery, etc.)
Hi, I am a HUAWEI MATE 8 user in China. I’ve seen from the XDA forum that you have the firmware version of Chinese MATE8 modle. Can you send me the file of NXT-AL10C00B116 (1643MB)?
I just received the b165 update. I haven't noticed anything different.

Do you know how to do the update when you have root?

I'm curious about this too. I have ordered the Chinese version and plan on using the tool RayGlobe Italian Knife to switch to international rom, but I understand that if you do this you don't receive OTA so you have to flash each new software version manually. In the OTA thread each OTA file can be found but the problem is that it says that you can not be rooted when flashing it.

If you have the right oeminfo, and it corresponds with the update, it will update manually, (hold vol up, vol down, power) dload folder .app file inside.
Hi everybody, i've recently purchased an Honor 7 PLK-L01 in UK. I'm really satisfied with it and i started to follow those threads on XDA, i'm new to this software by Huawei as i've always had Samsung's phones (i still have my S5) and obviously software updates are different as i've seen. My current firmware is C432B121 but here i found a lots of more updates and intermediates' type of as well and my phone doesn't show any further updates like 130-140-180 and so on. Phone is not rooted and it's brand new. I also knew that it's rolling out MM for us so that's why i did this question. Thanks to everyone could explain a bit. Cheers! :highfive:
there's a full thread about this, with links to all kind of released firmwares
i suggest you start with b130 and see if it automatically detects any further ota update.
when i got mine it was stuck on b120, but after manually updating it to b121 i never had to manually update it again
otherwise you just keep manually updating all the way up to b180. i suggest you don't update to b320 right away since it's officiality is still undergoing debate, it might be old BETA update, perhaps released by mistake. still waiting for official news
anyway, the drill's very easy, you'll find every kind of explanation in the plk-l01 roms' thread.
I was confused by seeing a new firnware version at huawei website places 5th of august 2016 that ends with C636B320 and if i google that it looks like it could be android 6.0?
There is no version number written on the website:
http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/products/downloads/detail/ascend-g7-my.htm?id=86353
I tried installing it on my phone but I always get installation failed, maybe because my phone is from a different region..
Anyway would be great if they bring an official android 6 update for our G7!
The firmware you linked to is Lollipop.
Android 6.0 is currently only official in Turkey and China, but we are still waiting for the European version to be released.
Unfortunately, we don't know how long we will need to wait for it, if it is ever released.
Also, you are correct that you are unable to install the update since you are only able to install updates from your own region, or carrier (if your device is branded).
Ok I see, a download link of 6.0 is availible on this site, but will probably not work because of different region..
But I will try it, i'm dowloading it now.
Was it successfull? I am still waiting for this update to be released for european devices.
Hi Guyz
can you help and explain why my device got no updates till now? B126 released few month ago and the B135 followed but i got nothing.
Am i missing something i got the phone from Dubai and live in UK
model is: MHA-L29C185B110
Seems like the sim card region matters
Yes papped is right, your phone region is set to middle East but living in UK will not show your phone to the OTA . changing your region in the "cust" file requires rooted phone and a sound experienced individual.

You can use FunkyHuawei to update to the latest version, if you aren't getting OTA updates. I don't think B135 was released for your version -- it's B126 for the C185, which is currently the latest. You won't have to unlock bootloader, root, or void your warranty to use FunkyHuawei.
Theoretically, I think that you will eventually get OTA updates through Huawei, regardless of region. But since not even eRecovery works on non-Chinese models as of yet, FunkyHuawei's the only option for right now.
Hi all,
I recently purchased a brand new, factory sealed, LG-H990DS from Amazon.com in the US. From all the documents that came with it, the unit is from LGE Singapore. However, my firmware is v10f_SEA_XX rather than an SG version (I understand Singapore versions should be _SG, correct?).
Now, I want to downgrade to an earlier security patch (Currently June 1st, 2017), so that I can root the phone and hopefully enable VoLTE (I have it in Quick Settings but it's grayed out and I can't toggle it )
I'm confused about which .kdz to use... there's a bunch of SG and TWN ones, but won't that brick my phone? I already bricked my first H918 (T-Mobile) one by somehow flashing the wrong T-Mo .kdz (in hind-sight I should have checked the md5 sum). I know H990DS is a lot harder to root than TMO so I'm kinda scared. I've rooted/flashed on many, many phones, but the H990DS seems to be the most tricky.
Thanks for your help in advance!
I've got H990DS too and managed to root it.
I am using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296/.
But I've got November 2017 security patch, so I got to downgrade to earlier firmware using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903. I use oldest firmware available, that is v10b https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=4345. and currently stuck here with 10b. currently figuring out how to update to the latest firmware using KdzFlasher
Hi Boxy52, I have the same phone, the KDZ file you need is (https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=5196) version "V10c", with this you can begin the tutorial writed of the described above by the damadikaz, after you can upgrade the firmware up to version V10h on tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/tool-kdz-writer-t3649818...
Hey damadikaz,
So to confirm - it doesn't matter which region I flash - I won't be bricked, correct? My only concern was if I flashed the wrong region. But if all H990DS firmwares work with eachother, I shouldn't have an issue other than bloat?
Thanks!
boxy52
Hey pkrename,
You have the SEA firmware as well right, so I've got a question - do you have any bloat ware? Mine has none! My phone shipped with V10f_SEA_XX and I have ZERO bloatware its amazing because I've heard everyone else with SEA firmwares was stuck with a lot of bloatware. Do you think I've got some special version of the ROM? Just want to make sure that I'm indeed on the same ROM as you.
Thanks!
boxy52
Hi Box, Sorry I'm late, about the firmware bloatwares, I have no problem with them ... at least in my firmware I do not have many bloatwares other than google.
For anyone wondering:
First try the TWN series of Firmware. My phone came with TWN-10C (December 1st Security Patch) so I was able to root straight out of the box. I still use the TWN firmware today (except the latest version as displayed in my signature) as this is the cleanest of Firmwares I've found so far. All I had to do was use Root Uninstaller to uninstall a few Facebook/Instagram/other apps that came with the firmware and that was it.
Secondly, the SEA/SG (South-East Asia and Singapore) firmwares are the same, as seen here
Hope this helped
