Cannot find update Huawei P8 - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hello everybody
I have a Huawei P8 (GRA-L09) with EMUI 4.0.1 on it. A friend of me has the exact same phone but in black, and he has already the 4.0.3 update. Which is for example eye-comfort what I really find useful. Update-management and HiSuite can't find any updates. Is there a way to get the update anyway? Note: I have bought him refurbished with Android 6.0, and when I boot, I see the logo of Vodaphone. How can I update my phone?
Thank you!

The most likely reason you're not getting past 4.0.1 is because your phone is network-branded - by Vodafone in your case.
So, unless you debrand your phone (example here) to enable you to safely install the latest non-branded update(s) manually, you'll have to wait for Vodafone to release newer updates.
Can you tell us the full 'Build number' in Settings > About phone (in this format or similar: GRA-L09CxxxBxxx). Also, which country you bought the phone from?

Thanks for your reaction! I don't have experience with that sort of things so I'm not going to try that. Thanks anyway for the idea. My buildnumber is GRA-L09C02B397. I've bought the phone on greenmobile.nl, so I think he's from the Netherlands.

No problem, I was not recommending to try it, but only mentioned it so you'll understand the difference, & that it is possible.
Anyway, I think you're in luck, as Vodafone have released a EMUI 4.0.3 update, which you can get from here (view the screenshot posted by djg269 in post #3): [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B403 posted by member Kris van Kooten

I've no idea, as these things differ from one company to another.
As you'll be applying an official network update, it shouldn't be a problem, but if in doubt ask greenmobile.

I have the same problem kindly help me
The problem.is same but my model no is GRA-LO9C02B191.It is not detecting any update what should i do?

1st hint
Go settings > update > menu > download last full update. It is possible that hidden update will show.
2nd hint:
Download B200 official update, transfer on SD card and update manually. Then all updates shall be possible to do.
3rd hint:
Make debranding as in tutorial and then install on B170 a B200 update as in hint 2. Somwhere near B380 it will be required to make as in hint 1 to get B520 (newest one)

Found Marshmellow Update Link for Honor 7
Hi,
I have purchased this phone but sadly its Model Number PLK-UL00 not PLK-L01. I have upgraded to the latest build EMUI4.0_PLK-UL00_6.3.1 which is Android Version 6.0.
My question is - can I upgrade to EU version of the firmware PLK-L01 B320 or less. All I want is to get rid of all the chinese apps and replace them with pure google + english ones. Please help
Can you make a banana milkshake with strawberries? You can't. Same with installing the European build Android on Indian, Chinese etc.

First of all, thanks for posting the link and secondly you can very well update you mobile as I have already done that with your link
Hi - Indian firmware version starts with PLK-UL00IN. My mobile firmware version is PLK-UL00. Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to the India firmware.
My apologies to the admin in advance as I have posted similar question in a different thread. But this thread is more suitable to the topic. I am a novice when it comes to firmware.
I tried updating , it failed.. the software update guidelines.pdf which was part of the update states "software version control problems, you should firstly upgrade a transfer package provided by R&D." wher do i get that ?

Hi I updated it with the link provided. Did the archive download properly? Since it's an internal document, I don't think the package is available in public domain. You can check for the rollback package which is given in one of the threads. It might work. Or use the honor multi tool.
Btw, this update is 2 steps forward and one step back. Some good features like visitor mode have been removed. Call recording has become problematic. Previously, I could record easily using boldbeast call recorder. Settings are much more difficult to find. On the positive side, battery backup has jumped tremendously. Plugged out at 9.40 am today. My phone is still at 75 percent at 6.30 pm with moderate use. There is no doze mode setting but I think they have incorporated some features as I can see that phone goes into sleep when screen is off much more frequently. Also, the awesome themes that lollipop had are no more there. Not even the live wallpapers. Mixed feelings about the update overall.

MD5 checksum is F697BB78C8E8202DC78716C8647E8706.
Yeah I was on 160 and did a local update as you suggested. Better download it again. But frankly, I am finding the update more regressive than progressive.

I think many of us may not be aware as how to perform local update in honor 7 which has marshmallow installed on it. I have gone through it and understand how it feels when you download an update and while trying to find local update option update app. Its frustrating and discouraging too. But I could find the way to do it on some other site. Its simple and easy. Just see below.
How to Update
Unpack the firmware package on your computer.
Transfer the extracted dload folder to your phone’s microSD card.
Take a backup of your important stuff using Huawei’s native app.
Safely unplug the USB cable and turn your phone off.
Reboot while holding Vol Up + Vol down + Power for a few seconds. Release Power upon vibration.
Once the upgrade starts let go of the volume keys and allow the installation to proceed.
And enjoy

EMUI 3.1
Model Number Huawei GRA-L09
Build Number GRA-L09C109B190
Android version 5.0.2
Custom version CUSTC109D250
The device is not rooted.

Download firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/huawei-p8-gra-l09-b321a-marshmallow-t3352572 , unzip "dload" folder to your sd card, in phone go to settings > update > local update, and it will automaticaly start upgrading.
Few thing you should know about Marshmallow:
- B321a is latest version for GRA-09 model
- Some users reports big battery drain, the others reports big gain in battery life (like me), so its about luck i quess
- Message led notification is not working (emails and everything else is working)
- system is noticable faster and has better UI
- in case of any trouble, downgrade process is pretty difficult for newbie, so you will need to study how to do that
Cheers
Hi,
You should first upgrade to the latest lollipop, that is B200 Full upgrade, then you go to the thread about marshmallow and follow instructions there.

i will just say that this can be fixed with use of light menager, aswell as setting different colours for notifications etc.

Have you found a solution for this? I checked the net and apparently this build number is for Orange Spain.
We have the same build number, GRA-L09 C109B190, and haven't found any solution on how we can get Marshmallow update unless we try to root our device.
Please keep me posted if you found anything. Thanks!

Afraid that I haven't found anything to assist me in upgrading the P8 to MM without rooting. :crying:
I recently stubbled across a Huawei german site, but so far they haven't provide much assistance...
German site: http://www.huawei-info.de/
I use google chrome to try to translate the German language .
Hope it helps
I'm still searching
Please let me know if you found a way how to update without rooting. I'm still searching as well and haven't really found any solutions. Tried to posts to different sites but haven't got any valuable reply. I'll keep you posted, mate. Cheers!
Hi, just want to share what Majaczos answer to my inquiry.
. It seems that you have branded software from your operator. First step - clean debranding:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/huaw...a-l09-t3210658
Second step - install B370:
2.http://forum.xda-developers.com/huaw...w-6-0-t3417212
You're doing it at your own risk. Remember that B370 is still a beta, some bugs may occur.
Currently my build number is GRA-L09 C900B170
And updating my device OTA to B200 version after finishing step 1.
Hopefully, I'll get an update to Marshmallow OTA as well.
Enjoy tinkering your device

I just upgraded to 6.0 and it was simple,
All the files required were in the German site that I listed above.
Everything was done using the full update, b200 and b321a
I did it via local update and emui.
It took me approximately 1 hour after I figured everything out.
I did not have unbranded my phone.
So far all is working great. Not sure if I will get OTA after the upgrade but ohh well

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10 and I updated to Android Nougat two days back. Here is how I did. First step is to get the Huawei ID.
1) I followed the instructions in this youtube video. Watch the video and you will know where to click on that fancy looking icon on webpage to get the code. once you get the code,put in your email, type the password, confirm the password and done.
I found an english website where you can register for Huawei ID Click Here
2) You now have the Huawei ID.
3) Go to settings and then log in using the Huawei ID in (screenshot attached below)
4) In the settings - > go to Huawei ID -> put in your login credentials and you should see "account center" on top. Below you should see member -> gold membership. Click on that. (screenshot attached below)
5) Now you will see Manuals, Service, Forum, Member. From this click on "service" and below select - > update (screenshot attached below)
6) Here you will see Nougat update. It will be 2.10 gb and you can update to Nougat very easily from here. It is matter of few minutes before it restarts and finishes the Nougat update process.
This process doesn't require any root and it takes a total of 20 minutes or so. Since my Mate 8 and didn't want to root so quickly, I followed this procedure. And it worked. Now Mate 8 is butter smooth. It is really worth. My mate 8 is different model than yours so I dont know if you can do the same process but you can try and see if it works out for you. Hope I explained properly and hope you succeed.
Cheers!

THIS WORKS. Why Huawei has to make this process so complicated is beyond me, but after countless attempts at getting to nougat via fastboot, twrp, etc, I am finally downloading the legit OTA with this method.

I have NXT L29. I tried your method, but in my phone there is no sign of gold member.
How to obtain the gold member?

Hi,
I didn't do anything special to get gold membership. When I logged in with my Huawei ID it was automatically showing Gold Membership.
Your model is NXT-L29 , since it is an international model may be because of that reason you are not able to see I think.
But to show the Huawei services you can try the following steps.
1) Open the Huawei ID
2) Click on the membership details ( If you have the option, I hope it is showing some kind of membership )
3) Select - member -> settings ( screenshot attached )
4) Then under Settings - > Location ( screenshot attached )
5) Under Location - > Select "China" & region -> Asia Pacific (Screenshot attached ) [You can change this to your region any time later]
6) Now go to Service - > Update ( Here you should see the new OS version and size of the file if everything is ok)
This process worked for me because my phone model is NXT-AL10. I purchased just few days back. As soon I received it, I did it this way as I felt this was lot safer and easier. You can also try the above steps. If it works then you will be able to update to Android Nougat very easily. Nougat is really awesome on Huawei Mate 8. Give it a try. I hope it works for you.
Cheers!

Hi Sam, ok i have registered for Huawei ID (english link is SOOOO good).
then, i need to install new version of HiCare and it installs Huawei ID for me. after that i can login with my Huawei ID, and see the member/service/manual/me menus, but after go into "OS Update early adopter" there is nothing.
Maybe because im still at emui 4.0?? (NXT-L09C636B211).
but there is no more update for me (checked from the seettings -> updater

Hi,
You have done everything right.
Is yours single sim chinese model? NXT-L09
if yes, then it should work unless they explicitly allowed only NXT-AL10 to do it this way which I doubt that is the case here.
Did you set the location to china?
Do you have same menus or is it different? Please check the screenshots if you and I have same options in that App.
I am asking this because I didn't have "OS update early adopter". For me, I just see service and under that "update". Another thing is I used Huawei ID from settings directly even though Hicare was showing the same thing.
I received a new update B573 today. I hope you get it too.
My update process - > EMUI 4.0 -> EMUI 4.1 -> EMUI 5.0. When I received my phone I got update for EMUI 4.1 and then I updated to 5.0. That is how it happened for me.
Cheers!

No, mine is single sim but L09C636xxx. I am from Australia and this is the official mate 8 that is sold in my country.
therefore when i select region i choose Australia not China.
No the menus are slightly different and i have less icons. also the icon i have is "OS update early adopter" not just "update".
i tried to go from huawei ID from settings directly but cannot find services (and not gold membership either). just account and then next screen is "phone" and "email". i really need to go from HiCare to see "service" menu.
also, my latest is B211 and this is still 4.0 i dont have emui 4.1 yet maybe thats why...
many people say this model L09 is not good because less support from huawei.
thanks anyway will wait for emui 5 maybe next year
It is still possible

Hi,
Yes menus are slightly different.
The version of my HiCare is 5.0.1.303.
But you can get those extra options by changing the location from Australia to China and region to Asia pacific (its just temporary). I am in US.
This process is reversible. I tried it on my phone. when I changed my location to US on the phone, I didn't see lot of options but the moment I changed it back to China I was able to see all the options.Since you are not doing anything risky, it is worth a try because Android Nougat is really amazing.
You can try one last time by changing the location and see if it works. If you succeed your phone will have Nougat and if you don't at the most what can happen is you won't see any update.
So it is not all over. You still have that opportunity to update to Nougat by doing this way.
This phone is a beast and it will feel like a completely different phone with Nougat.
I want you to enjoy that and feel the difference. I am sorry if I am being too pushy. I am just excited about this phone because I feel your phone is just one step closer to Android Nougat. And that is why I am encouraging you to give one last try. I hope you succeed. Good luck.
Cheers!
Sam
I tried to change my location, but when I choose China, after i save it, it turns back to my location (Poland). Any solutions?

Hi,
Did you change the region to Asia Pacific? if not please do that also. You have to change the region to Asia Pacific along with location to China. Both of these steps are important and required. That option is just above the place where you change the location to China.
I hope it works for you.
Cheers!

I tried it few times and it keeps returning to Europe and Poland :/

Hi, 
 @erwinsie & @klekot31
You both still have hope. Different countries get update at different times.
So the update might take a little time to reach your country.
I am saying this because, I saw Google+ post in Huawei mate 8 community for italy where they received the B573 first but I didn't see the update until 2 days later. I was also little sad at first but suddenly I saw the update and boom I updated it Nougat latest version.
So my sincere request. Please put the country as China, region as asia pacific and then leave it for few days or say 10 days or may be a month. You might see the update suddenly popping up on your screen. It should work. You can always revert this back to your region and country once you finish installing Nougat. It is reversible process. So from my experience it is not all over for you guys. You still have hope. It is just a matter of time. Even though you don't see the update for the moment, it is not over you might see it in coming days or weeks.
Cheers!

sure will do! and thank you
I have a NXT-L09 too in New Zealand (Asia Pacific) I followed all this so I can upgrade from Mashmellow to Nougat and it keeps saying I have the latest software and no software is made available from early adopters
Seems odd that its Oct 2018 and I have to stay on Mashmellow. When I tried a manual update by downloading the firmware and using the stock loader it fails at 5%

how to update nxt-AL10C00B386 emui 4.1 to 5.0

Hi guys i just recently got a second hand Chinese version (living in australia) mate 8 build number :nxt-AL10C00B386. I want to update to emui version 5 so can someone point me into the right direction. There's so many download links and posts out there so i dont know which one is right. And is it possible to completely remove the chinese version firm wareand put the australian one in it? if so, can someone post the download link. Once again im pretty new to all this so please explain clearly about my update options.
THanks

I am on B386 and the Ota B575 is coming automatic.
But your M8 must be on Stock Recovery and unrooted!
After B575 comes B577 then the last Ota B581
This is all.

No Updates at all

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)

Sebastian
Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using XDA Labs
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...^^
