My build number is WAS-LX3C605B186 EMUI 5.1. I want to update to Oreo and firmware finder has a PV update available among others but now I'm reading that firmware finder stopped working is this true? If so what is the most accepted method for upgrading? I'm still not getting the update through the official channels and I'd like to speed things up.
I think u have some minor update to B187 (as i had) then u can c ur emui 8 full update in system update

Oh is that how it is? Yeah, I do have that minor update available to B188 I think. Will I have to reroot after applying it? I just want to know in order to plan ahead.

Yes it is?
U need stock recovery partition(not twrp) so after minor update may not lose ur root but i lost my root after full update to emui 8 and bootloader locked again.

I believe you have to go back to the stock recovery, unroot, and THEN update to MM... but I'm not sure how.

Sorry
I can't find it but before that you need to update to B200 and then to Marshmallow
You can install B200 via fastboot also

Good to know.
One more question. If I go back to stock recovery and unroot, I should be able to fine the OTA update via the EMUI's updater? (whatever version it is)

After restoring the stock recovery reinstall your current OS and then you should be able to update via the updater app or by the dload method

What is your full build version - GRA-xxxCxxxB190?

Btw, another way to update in your situation without losing root, is by using an all-in-one tool like FlashFire:

Ok, before going any further, I strongly recommend making a nandroid backup using TWRP & also transferring a copy of the backup to another device, like a PC/laptop if possible...

If you have the Huawei HiCare installed, does it offer any updates when you check via it? If not, install it & check in both these places in the app:
HiCare app > Me tab > Check for updates

You should only apply updates with the same Cxxx as yours.I thought that you have C432 from the other guy's post so I'm sorry.
And I've found B210 with C469 so you can update to this first with extracting the recovery from it with Huawei Update Extractor and flashing via fastboot and then updating via dload but i don't know if there's EMUI 4.0 for C469.

Hi,
What happens if you update with the wrong Cxxx?
I just got a used p8 that's got GRA-L09C02B191 on it. I'd like to update it to Android6 before starting to screw around with custom ROMs. I've got FirmwareFinder running, and it's already found 200+ options, none of which appears to be C02, despite that being my range setting. Is my model unupdateable?
TIA!

You will get C900 and won't be able to get OTA updates, themes may not work and Android pay.

If OTA method doesn't work, here are the available firmwares for your phone at Huawei (including Android 6).

Thanks for the lightning fast reply!
That's not so bad, I don't care about themes, don't use Android Pay, and doing the updates manually isn't a huge pain. Is there anything else that I lose? Presumably I'll be able to roll back to gra-l09c02b191 to restore full functionality?
So can I then just go directly for the latest firmware, which I guess is B370?
Thanks!

Hello,
I was on build C432B192 and got C432B560 OTA in the updater. All went good and I have EMUI 5.0 Android 7. But my build number now shows NRD90M test-keys.
Will it cause any problems? How is it possible that official OTA update changed my build number to test-keys?
Before OTA, don't you had a problem with phone themes? You were root?

Hello. I have the same problem. And many others, no gboard. I am root witn TWRP. When i reboot the bootloader is red with error. What is the solution. Thanks.
Download the rollback package on the forum.Then Flash B192 and upgrade to B560 . rollback will delete the dataļ¼Back up the data first.

To fix the themes, just download SRK Tools. There's an option to push the themes back but of course you need to be rooted first.

You need bootloader code to unlock your bootloader. There's a HOW-TO get bootloader code in mate 8 thread. You can search for it. Good luck

Hi all,
last night I had a good idea of updating to nougat and had a few issues booting.. after I did something (cant remember exactly in nougat twrp) and got stuck in erecovery with no fastboot.
now im booting into a rom after restoring a nougat system.img and just want to go back to square one!
its displaying currently I am on
EMUI 2.0
android 4.3
android security patch lvevel 1st November 2016
build: NRD90M test-keys.
phone is back to locked too.
if I unlock, flash recovery and re-install 6.x stock rom would this work with my android security/firmware level at 1st November 16?
How can I get back to normal from here?
From a very tired stressed out silly guy haha
Thanks!

i have no idea! it states i have 1gb RAM too so i have a feeling the output details on this screen are borked.
Secuirty android version is 2016 november so just ideally would like to confirm if i try flashing 6.x it would work?
or do i need to work out how to downgrade the security version first?

I am using the P9 Lite VNS-L21 version (B160). I don't know much about rooting and flashing and all that, but i would like to ask if it is safe to install the b336 version on my phone? Will i be able to normaly update to the official version of Nougat after it comes out? Do i need to be rooted for firmware finder to work?

You should wait for OTA. Is a complicated process and it doesn t worth. Nougat has some really battery drain. In my opinion you should wait for official OTA. But if you want to risk...it s your problem.

Yes it will work. Oneplus' firmware is easy to root. You'll not lose any data on unlocking the bootloader either(not guaranteed. I didn't). Just go ahead with it.
