List of Every Firmware Version for Chinese model.

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.

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.

Huawei GRA-L09C470B210 update to Android 6

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.

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.

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...^^

Not able to recieve OTA anymore

My Greetings fellow Android Enthusiasts,
I had some trouble with EMUI 5 on my Huawei P9 Lite (VNS-L31), so i rolled back to EMUI 4.1.1
Right now im at VNS-L31432B160. I was experimenting with Bootloader unlocking -which was pretty easy- because i never had a HUAWEI Smartphone on my hands before.
After i was done having fun with it. I unrooted it and relocked the bootloader and additionally reflashed the firmware with the Stock Firmware through the force flash method (Update.app on dload on a sd-card, pressing all three buttons while phone is off).
Now im not getting any OTA Updates. Through the HiCare App i can get the Beta for EMUI5 i suppose? But updating to this results in the NRD90N test keys Firmware where there is limited functionality.
I rechecked everything (Bootloader is locked, Root-Checker says there is no root, etc.) Is there something im overseeing or is HUAWEI denying me OTA's from now on?

Have you 'unbranded' the phone or changed the region?
432 is Europe methinks. I went from 440 to 432 and had the 'test keys' issue. You need to make sure you're using the correct oeminfo file.....
I don't get any ota updates either but I've decided I'd rather be European than British And I can be in control over my own updates using FF

new firmware Versions in "Firmwarefinder for Huawei"

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:

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
