Hi all,
I just recently went back to complete stock, from CM, as I want to hand it over to a friend.
I successfully switched back to C432B160 last week.
But still not a single update does show up, though that build is from November 2016.
It always tells me, that there are no updates. I am aware that Updates will show up with Hisuite, but shouldn't the stock updater present updates, too?
(I am not even talking about Nougat)
I already successfully tried a factory reset.
The only idee I have, is that I now have a DS oeminfo on an originally SS phone.
Does anyone have an idee, what might be wrong?

well, if you have ds oeminfo while your phone is ss, try flashing ss oeminfo and then the stock rom again

Well the phone was SS at the beginning, but now I have oeminfo for DS and Stock Rom for DS (B160)
I wiped all and completely new flashed B160.
I did not setup any account (Google, Huawei), but only connected the phone to my WIFI.
Still neither Update nor HiCare show any available updates.
Does this need a SIM Card to be in the phone? Are there any other precautions?
I have no idea why it behaves like this.
edit: both frp and bootloader are locked according to the Bootloader Menu
I might add 2 weeks ago when coming from CM, there were no updates in update menu but HiCare, so I went fo Nougat. Nougat did not work properly, so I went back to B160 in order to start again, but since then, I never saw any update in menu, nor HiCare.
Might Huawei block DS Roms for IMEIS of originally SS phones?
Push, maybe @k1ll3r8e has an answer for me?

Heyho,
sounds really wired...
-
Here is what u can try,
1) bring the device back to stock (unrooted, loader closed)
2) do a factory reset and also the cache clear which is offered in the stock recovery
-
Start the device, do a dummy setup (only wlan is needed) check if the device offers an update. If not, well, try to manually update from C432B160 to C432B210 and check the update app again.
About this issue, i'm not sure, but maybe Huawei have a "downlaod limit" for an IMEI, that u can only download the update for example 10 times or so... I don't know^^ - I can only say, my device "L31 - Single-SIM - T-Mobile" modded to C432B380 dual-SIM have no issues with updates... I got since B130 every update via the normal update app. - But i also know that the updates will be released in waves, i don't know how they exclude/include devices in such an wave. But maybe, u have an oeminfo from an device which wasn't in the "current wave list". - As already mentioned i don't know how they manage those waves or what the trigger is...
Hope i could help u a bit
Regards
Sebastian

So, did you try upgrade on N using Firmware finder?
If not, try it and you will see if your device in black list. I also use DS firmware for SS model and just last night I upgraded normaly from B160 to B370 Ota, and after that to B380 Ota.
@k1ll3r8e
Yes it already is a dummy setup. I will manually upgrade to B210 and try again, Thanks alot! @Alexxxx1
Firmware Finder is the Windows tool, isn't it? If above progress won't work I might boot my Windows partition and check on that.
Is there by chance any other way to check if the device is somehow blacklisted?
@all
Would Huawei push the updates to my device, if I would contact them? (I ask because of the altered oeminfo. Or would the refuse support in that case, which is what I guess)
edit: Does by chance anyone have a link to the C432B210 ROM?

Heyho,
if u have an L31, go to my FTP (oeminfo) and go a few folders back, then u'll find a Huawei folder there are several versions stored.
Edit:
Here is the link (just back on my PC)

Firmware finder is android app. You can find it in google play store as a free tool for upgrade huawei devices. In Ffinder you will find option for checking autorization of official firmware for your device, is it allowed or not for your device.
Regards
I did flash B210, but no Updates withiin 1 day. (I think time was to short)
I then flashed B370 Full-PV via Firmware Finder.
B380 should come automatically sometime, hopefully.
I think its time to hand it over to my friend now.
Only thing I am curious about is:
settings -> about phone -> certification: Serbia
I guess this is normal for C432?

No worries about that
I bought mine also from T-Mobile DE, and mine shows also "Serbia"... I searched a bit for similar issues and it seems that also the P8 with C432 is for "Serbia" at least a unknown amount of it, sooo i think it comes from the "ROM" not from the device. Maybe they only certify the ROM for a "law based standart" to "Serbia". - Who knows...^^

So I've searched for a answer but nothing worked.
I have the ALE-L21 model, and it bootloop-ed when I was trying to root the phone.
I've tried to put an update from the sd card by pressing volume up and down + power button and it just said failed from the start.
I've tried entering fastboot mode and flashing boot.img, recovery.img, but i it didn't worked.
Sorry for the bad english, please help me.
first off all...
Whe need al little more information.
dual/single sim?
What build number are you on?
Did you unlock your bootloader? (i think that's your problem)
do you have a goldfish?
If you can answer these questions we can help you
Hi! I have same issue with my P8 Lite single sim from Vodafone. Before i went into bootloop i had B181 branded software.
My bootloader is locked (how i can get unlock code when emui site is down?). Is there any way to rescue my phone without unlocking bootloader?
Maybe it will be possible to flash (vol+,vol-,power) it once again with vodafone rom, but i can't find it anywhere.
Thanks for support.

I'm not 100% sure now but it should be ALE-L21C432B133_Europe Channel_single Software from official huawei site
In that build there should be a floder named vendor with an small update.app in it. put that one in your sdcard/internal memory and go trough settings-> updater-> menu-> local update and select that. let it do and everything should be fine

Everything works, thank you so much but it seems that this ROM is bit laggy and when I'm tryning to delete some ****ty games it's restarting and games remain.
Can i update it now to Android 6.0? Will it be possible via OTA? Right now i have info that my current version is latest one.

Had my A2017G for a few months, but still stuck on v1.0.0b06 with no available OTA updates.
Will I manually have to flash it to a android 7 version then will I be able to receive OTA?
Any guidance is much appreciated.
It really depends on where your device is from. That build may very well be the most up-to-date build released. Check the ZTE support site to be sure.
If you want to go to nougat right away, I'd suggest manually installing the German update zip / installing the leaked 7.1.1 B01 zip floating around. Afterwards, you'll receive the OTA prompt for the 7.1.1 B02 build.

Yes, you need to download nougat image from ztedevices then push it to SD card and update to nougat will be available via system updater.

So I won't need a build 10 to do the update to nougat?

I forgot if it's required. But no harm in doing the updates incrementally. The German support page has the B10 update, as well as the 7.0 update. Then the 7.1.1 B01 leak can be found around here. These of course are all for the A2017G variant.
If you intend to unlock your bootloader, I'd suggest doing so before upgrading to nougat.

Also in hoping in the future OTA works normally. Apart from this, the phone is solid all-around.

This is the full ota for V1.2.0B01: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767151720
I'd suggest you manually update to V1.0.0B10 and then to V1.2.0B01.
You can find t he V1.0.0B10 on the ztemobile.de page: http://www.ztemobile.de/support/downloads/?product_id=2100 (Software Update B10)
I'd skip going to Nougat 7.0 first. Just upgrade directly to 7.1.1 with the full ota I posted.
Copy both of the files onto your sd card. They will then appear in the Updater (Settings -> Updates). Just run the upgrade from there.
Be aware! As previously stated by @oleung4 unlock your bootloader before upgrading. I unlocked mine on B06.

It gets more complicated starting with (afaik) V1.0.0B11. If you want the easy way I'd suggest you do it before you upgrade past B10, I would even say do it before upgrading from B06.

First: Check that you didn't put the zip with the buncha numbers. If you open the zip you should find an update.zip and a pdf or something, and you have to use the update.zip inside. NOT directly the one with the numbers!
Second: Your phone probably won't find the file on the OTG, if so just copy the file from the OTG to the root of the internal storage
Ah....
I unzipped it.....
Okay so still no joy, neither of the files would update
"System Update Failed"
Attached screenshots if anyone can help ??

You almost brick the phone. Tell me a couple of things:
-What's the model? Turn it around and look below the Dolby Atmos symbol, it should be etched there. Either A2017 or G or U.
-I see that your software is of the A2017G. You probably have an A2017.
-What's the version that you downloaded? If it is for another version you can lose the IMEIs.
I have a similar issue. I have an A2017G. I had LOS on and am trying to go back to stock. I can get MM B10 or B11 to load, but N B01 won't flash within Android and if I force it from within recovery, the phone won't boot. anyone any smart ideas?
Hi all,
I've had my P9 Lite for about 10 months now and I haven't recieved one system update yet. I've been waiting for the OTA system update for EMUI 5.0 but alas, it hasn't come to my phone and I don't understand why. The phone Android security patch level is 1 June 2016 and that is worrying as well! My Build number is VNS-L31C440B132 and I was looking for a way to update to the latest availble version while also keeping my current phones data. The Updater in the settings always says there is no updates available and i've tried using 'Firmware Finder' as well but the updates failed.
I'd appreciate any help with the matter.
Thanks,
Charlie
Hello
Firmware here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/vns-l31c440b380-t3617778
In 1: maybe you can try the three-button method (dload).
In 2: try to do the update with the pc and HiSuite (update the system).
In 3: you can also test a firmware updater v2 application and hisuite. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/huawei-p9-p9-plus-firmware-updater-t3435873
In 4: or do the bootloader code request and install recovery twrp for MM and install nougat.
Thanks for the help here, your method worked absolutely fine, I appreciate it. Nice to see a great community here.
Thanks,

Hi Barbu,
I found a quick way to do this.
Downloading the updates might take a while so make sure your phone is on charge or charging.
First you want to go to the app store and download Firmware Finder (XDA wont let me post a link because I haven't posted 10 times so you'll have to search.
Then go to Settings > Use proxy for install > Download Addon. An apk will download, install this.
Then go to Firware Finder and click this magnifying glass at the bottom right to refresh. Then look for the update that ends in 'B160' and has 'FullOTA' in the name.
Click on it then > GET AN UPDATE THROUGH PROXY. You will be taken to the Proxy App where you need to follow the instructions on screen.
Then you need to go to your phone settings and click on 'Update'. After it scans and finds a new update you need to click on it and then quick install. While it's installing you might want to go back into your WiFi settings and change proxy to 'None' just in case there is connection issues.
Once that update is installing your going to want to repeat these steps but this time install 'B382 FullOTA'. This should give you EMUI 5.0 with loads of new features now!
It might work by install B382 straight away but it didn't for me.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Charlie
Hello, thanks for ur help
U said it didn't works for you but it should work for me huh ?
the problem is that mine is neither b160 nor B382 ... it' an b132... so it's not the appropriate file for my headset, no?
Sincerly, i'm a bit worried about this Update it seems like hack or jealbreak ... don't u think

I can assure you this isn't a "hack" or "jailbreak". Firmware Finder was even developed by members of the XDA community and it's 100% legit. I had the same problem as you Barbu, I was on B132 and wanted the new android 7 update but my phone is also on EE and it wasn't rolled out. All I did was what I detailed in the steps in my post and it worked, and B132, B160 and such are just the version number so installing the B160 will just give you a new firmware update.
Thanks,
Charlie

No. You need to wait until the update has installed. This might take a while as it has to download then your phone will restart and the update will install.
Thank u very much my friend i will tell u the news once the installation finished ...
last question: why don't install the b382 directly without installing the b160 ?

Just didn't work when I tried it so I thought it's better to be safe.
First, thanks for info and effort.
I did everything you wrote. But after I change proxy server, as it stands in Firmware Finder Proxy, and tap Update, nothing happens. There is no update. Maybe I didn't change proxy in right way. But, I googled it just in case, changed it again, and again there was no update.
One more thing. In Firmware Finder, there is firmware for VNS-L31C440B132 in the list. So, I did not chose "B160" and "B382" like you said. Then, I did as you instructed, and there was no update.
Any help?
Thanks.

First off, is there any other firmware in the list or just the one ending in B132?
And did you:
Click Get an update through proxy and they get taken to the proxy finder app where it gives you instructions on what to do to your WiFi settings? Because after you have done that go straight to settings > update > then check for a new update. A new update should appear in red.
If this didn't help just give me another shout and I'll try and help more. If not, there is some firmware finder threads on here as it was developed by person/peoples from the XDA community.

I did it!
This time I followed your instructions, first B160 then B382 but not via GET AN UPDATE THROUGH PROXY, but GET AN UPDATE THROUGH DNS (BETA). And it all worked for me.
Regarding your instruction, I couldn't get an update for B132, no matter what I tried and how I changed proxy server.
In the list there are 8 firmwares. FullOTA B383/382/380/370/160/132 and OTA B160/132. Then I tried B132 FullOTA through dns (beta), I got an update, everything went well, but when I checked About phone, there was no change, Emui and android version did not change. Then I tried with B132 OTA, but it failed during installation, twice. Finally, I tried B160 FullOTA first, then B382 FullOTA through dns, and now my phone is on Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0.
Through dns is just 3 taps, then check update and that's all.
Guys, give it a try both ways, hope you will succeed.
Charlie, thank you for information.
Hello Charlie
I followed ur méthod step by step ans it works with me even if it took thé entité day about 10h....
Now i'm runing on nugat 7 thank u very much for ur help ... But I think once Android 8 rolled out WE have to do the same thing, didn't it ?
All in all i'm satisfied ... It was high time ?
Is it still possible to upgrade VNS-L31C440B132 using FF?

Just didn't work when I tried it so I thought it's better to be safe.

Like many other disappointed EE customers who never got a single OTA update for their VNS-L31C440B132 I would like to use this method as it looks pretty straightforward (no unlocking bootloaders/rooting etc) but I may be too late to the party:crying:. Without showing all the details, FF currently lists the following available firmware for my device:
VNS-L31C440B383, VNS-L31C440B382, VNS-L31C440B380, VNS-L31C440B160, VNS-L31C440B160, VNS-L31C440B132, VNS-L31C440B132
The only ones that are approved are both the B132s which are OTAs and there is no longer a B160 that is a full OTA update. They are just (incremental?) OTAs. FullOTAs now start from B380. Perhaps the files I need are no longer available. Is it time to give up, or am I missing something here? Fortunately I now also have a Lenovo P2 with global ROM which DOES get OTA updates!
**Update**. I emailed DEV and they think Huawei may have moved some firmwares but that the missing ones may re-appear in a future scan of their servers, so I will periodically check to see.
Cheers

Last night i managed to update my phone from VNS-L31C440B132 to VNS-L31C440B383 using the method in this thread. I installed the B160 OTA update first through firmware finder via proxy. It listed it as only 740mb (ish) but when i actually installed it through system update it downladed 1.74GB (ish) which installed fine. I then updated to B383 through firmware finder via proxy again which worked fine too. Give it a go it worked for me

Oh great. Thanks. Did you bother with either of the B132s dated 2016.07.14 first (perhaps they are patches for B132) or did you just start with B160? There are 2 B160s dated 2016.10.16 (753MB and 166MB). Did you do a "Check Firmware Access" to see if it was approved? It isn't for me, but perhaps it works anyway. I wonder why the one listed for you was 740MB (perhaps the sizes aren't that accurate)? Are you then saying you missed out B380 and B382 full OTAs and went straight to B383? Sods law is B383 isn't showing up right now, but hopefuly it'll return soon lol

I didnt bother with any B132 updates. I went for the biggest B160 update which probably was 753MB but when i actually went through the update app it downloaded 1.74GB. I didnt check firmware access. After it had updated to B160 i installed B382. I mistyped B383 earlier sorry. I am now running B382 and everything is working great

Thanks for coming back on this. Unfortunately I haven't been able to install B160 yet. After selecting the 753MB B160 OTA I selected "get an update through proxy" and modified the network settings. I returned to the FF app and selected "download". I am presented with the following list of selectable options: 1)update.zip ee/gb/ 2)update_data_full_ee_gb.ziphw/default/ 3)update_data_full_hw/default.zip hw/eu 4)update_data_full_hw_eu.zip hw/normal 5)update_data_full_hw_normal.zip
I selected just option 1 and ok and the download started. I left the network settings as localhost and 8080 until after the download completed. I ended up with a file called update.zip size 1.69GB in folder Local>Internal storage>HWFF>98030> but have no idea what to do next to complete the install. Should an install option have appeared at the end of the download or more options appear in the FF app settings? Huawei Updater ("Check for updates") doesn't see it. I don't have an external SD card but don't see why it would need one. Not sure how to proceed, but at least I haven't broken anything
Hi,
I have an Huawei P10 Plus Dual SIM VKY-L29C636 with the current running Firmware VKY-L29C636B172
The last update was in November 2017 since then I don't get any new Updates displayed in the settings.
I downloaded the App "Firmwarefinder for Huawei" and it shows me the following newer Firmware Versions:
VKY-L29C636B210
VKY-L29C636B211
Does anyone use this new Versions?
Should I update to one of this new Versions?
Just check firmware access see if you approved to update. My FF already shows B301 which is Oreo but denied access when checking it.
Depends where you live. I got tge same phone and I don't have access to download and update.

The latest model is 211 and you can install it via HWOTA. I don't know anyone using this version. But probably there were no changes after all. Only simple performance tweaks. Otherwise software already stable.
For me latest firmware is 321 however says not authorised to download it..
I've installed the new Version VKY-L29C636B212
It has the Android Security Patches from January 2018
The first thing I discovered, that the phone runs a lot smoother, espacally when scrolling websides in Firefox.
The secound thing I discovered, is that the phone has more free ram, old Version round about 3,6GB, the B212 has 4,5GB free ram.
This are the first impressions, if i discover more, I let you know.

You download full OTA or OTA?
I did the Full OTA, but be carefull there are 2 Versions!
The Version with "PV" didn't work and almost bricked my Phone. I had to load an older Version thru recovery to get it back working.
The Version "FullOTA-MF" is working fine, I only had to wipe the cache and make an Factorydefault after updating, because the phone was in
a boot loop.
My Phone is running fine with the Version 212 and has now a way better Batterylife :good:

That's mean I am on 172, if I want update to 212 I should use the one without PV? Sorry if I asking too many questions
Rollback firmware means what version to what version? 360 to 212?

Yes use the normal full ota.
Rollback from 360(oreo) to 212(nougat) in case you need to.

Yesterday my Phone was not approved. I looked in FirmwareFinder today and my Phone is now approved :good:
So should I update to Oreo thru FirmwareFinder or should I wait a day or two?
The normal Huawei Update says in the moment there is no Update.

Ota would come from your Huawei updater in over a week or so. Just update it if you authorised.
Now I have Updated to Oreo :good:
Everything works fine, I have only one question:
The Phone is using the Treble Project (see screenshot).
Why is there only one partition, does this mean that fast Updates are not working?

You have to have 3 partition for treble.. And even tho Huawei said p10 plus supports treble it's not the case. Or maybe need to do full factory reset so new firmware will partition correctly im not sure
I am currently on VKY-L29C185B171 and I see that I am approved (with IMEI) for a FullOTA update to B173, however in the stock System Update page it says there are no updates. Is there anything special that I have to do? I cannot/do not want to brick my device! Thank you everyone!
YES or Not if update fail? you may bricked or need stock firmware from HWOTA

Which file you choose and how did you do the update?
I found I had to do choose updates one step at a time, but after 5 or 6 rounds I managed to get onto Oreo on an unlocked UK phone. Each time I have chosen a full update. I started on rev 120 something, got to 185 before I could update to oreo.
HTH
I think I got to B172 on my L29-C636. Finally this morning FF said my IMEI was approved for Oreo, installed perfectly.

I am on B172 but my phone was single SIM now Dual SIM via FunkyHuawei - Oreo L29C636B360 says OK to install without IMEI and not OK with IMEI - but i reckon the Huawei servers still think my phone is Single SIM and so say not OK?
