New owner.. Is my P9 running official stock - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi folks
Just picked up my pre-owned P9 today and as Ive never used a Huawei before.... I was wondering if all is official stock..
There are no updates available either OTA or HiSuite, but 1st June seems a very old build... so just making sure it hasnt been tampered with

You can make local update, I think B182 is the latest.

L19C20B150- Why still at B150 and how to upgrade?

Hi guys,
Just got my P9 and surprised to find out that the software of this phone is remained at B150 even though they are many newest version available.
Anything to do with C20 for this situation?
Hope can get some answer here.. Thanks

my honor 5C changed variant itself...how??

Last update I installed was for my honor 5C NEM-L51C432B130. I've unlocked my boatloader, rooted the phone several times and soft bricked it a few times as well but always got it back to stock. Just by chance I was checking to see if the nougat update was anywhere to be found on the internet for my model but no such luck...stretch. Anyways I checked system updater and noticed that my 'about phone' says it is build/variant NEM-L51C900B130. Dies anyone know why or how this occurred? Also is it like a all inclusive version meaning I could install the firmware fur a different model which has nougat and emui 5 beta rolled out now it is c900? Also on the app MT FIRMWARE FINDER, the honor 5C doesn't even have a listing of firmware for c900 variant!?
Someone please help and shed some light.
Cheers honorable people ?

does your service providier still work? if it does you should be good. i wouldnt flash different variant updates or even right ones thru firmware finder app... if you flash updates before its avaible on official OTA downloader some options wont work and things can be unstable even rom should be stable.
Yes, my service provider works and I haven't encountered any problems. Out of interest, why do you reckon not to install updates through the firmware finder App? Many people have and I did on one occasion, and had no issues. I've never read a post on xda that the app should be avoided...?
Anyhow I've an unlocked boatloader and rooted my phone so I cannot get ota updates as a result. Also Huawei/Honor have really taken their time with rolling out the nougat firmware and their EMUI 5 and frankly I'm getting tired of waiting! Other models have it, and the honor 5 should have had it by now...c'mon already.
Say, does anyone know if and where you can find nougat update?

No more update higher than EVA-L19C432B386?

Hello,
Huawei stop to build any new update for EVA-L19C432?
There is no more update from so long time, security patch of Android is so old from April 26 and also the Android version is so old (7.0).
This model has been drop and will not get anymore any update? They stop to update and prepare Oreo version for this model or was forget? Have someone some more information or some new firmware update unlisted on Firmware Finder?
Thanks

Count yourself fortunate, I cannot even get Nougat 7 on my EVA-L29C636. Seriously though, almost all flagship android devices will get, at most, 2 major updates. The P9 was shipped with M and most (not me) have N now. That will probably be the last.

You have Nougat for your version in Firmware Finder, have u tried upgrade manually?
U can also check in HiCare app if u have a update.
Sent from my LON-L29 using XDA Labs
stuck on the same version, firmware finder does not show anything newer either.
Never buying this trash company again and already telling all my friends to do the same.
Was able to install EVA-L09C432B391 with FF DNS method on my dual sim EVA-L19C432B386.
However device shows still old build number, but security patch level is Sep. 2017 and moments is available in camera app
I have managed to update to C391 on L19 but it shows C386 as before. I believe there is another small pack we need to install to show the actual firmware.
388 available for L19, it's the same as 391(L09)

Would you like to elaborate?
Did you flash the oeminfo partition before? I've tried mostly what I've thought about, but can't flash B390 onto my P9 dual sim. Same fw. EVA-L19C432B386.
Thank you.
I was able to flash C391 on my L19 using firmware finder and proxy method. It did not work in my case using DNS method. I did not flash oem partition, just the full 2Gb OTA, straight up.
I get unauthorized every time.

I assume you are Romanian and you own a dual sim L19C432.
I now see that even L19C432B390 appeared few days ago in firmware finder, but nothing in regular hisuite/settings update - still on L19C432B386 officially

L19C432B388 is the last approved firmware.
B390 is not yet being approved to masses, only to test users.
Proof:
I am not getting even 388 though - through regular Huawei/settings update still nothing. Only see it in FF.

I installed EVA-L19C185B395 on my brother's p9 yesterday via firmware finder and everything was running super smooth.

Two months ago when I shortly experimented by debranding L09 to L19 last OTA update for L19 was also b386 for me
Nevertheless, you can update to later unapproved builds by HWOTA method

From my personal experience... You probably have re-branded EVA-L19C432. Original still receives an update, however, if you have re-branded (as mine.My original EVA-AL10) it all stoped at EVA-L19C432B386.
and even if you try to install higher update via SDCARD it will fail.
You can try to download partition table for EVA-L19 and flash it on you phone using dc-unlocker Phenix52 software, then fix your IMEI with HCU Clinet , then you will be able to flash updates manualy higher the 386 but it cause issues with calls and reception on your cell phone..

Nobody can...
The problem is you cannot flash anything higher then EVA-L19C432B386 on re-branded phone.. Unless you have some magic or DC Phenix creators team creates full image from latest firmware...
Issue solved. I re brand to eva-l29c636 and all works as it should. All updates installed until aug 2018...

Yeah... Im currently at 138. I guess that it is deployed currently at LLD-L21 but cant confirm unless others did.
First, i tried the newly improved screen recorder. Seems like it is promising cuz at last, i can now make game recordings with audio.
Second. App launching improvements... I think that i cant feel it.
Just noticed about the screenlock. It doesnt animate anymore when you boot up your phone. That's a plus for me.
Just a note. This version isnt available at firmware finder for unknown reason.

186 was last march, 2 months ago which is also for dg from emui 9. Im currently at 138 which is last april and there is a new update for L21 which is 139. You might want to check firmware finder just to be sure that your device is following in the update.
How to use it?

Good evening, I'm a little lost.I repaired a screen of a 9 lite honor that fell. But still black screen. I made several manipulations.
The screen worked. In reality, it is the software that is damaged. at startup the screen flickers twice on honor and it disappears.
To be fast. I'm not watching the current firmware. I made the update. Currently I am in 8.0.0.144 (C432). unable to recover the official firmware for repaired the honor. I can not find anything on the subject. Can you guide me? Please.

P20 Pro Stuck on EMUI 8.1.0

Hi all,
How is everyone on EMUI 9/10? Im in the US and I bought the phone on Amazon (International version. CLT-L29) 2 years ago and never got any updates. There is an app i need for work but my android version is too old for it. Ive tried checking for updates on HISuite but no luck. Rooting is not an option
Have you tried Mi Suite and check for update from there? Or try to use older firmware and downgrade, and then upgrade from misuite.
Yap, try HiSuite. If that does not work, you can either pay for a software update in an official Huawei service center or you can download the latest update with Firmware Finder.
i tried hisuite. it says im on the latest version
how do i use firmware finder?

If you have the 636 regional variant, that is why. I have to flash all of my updates manually because Huawei really has really crapped the bed on this one.

My buddy had this problem too. He had to go to the service, and at first they just blinked there. It was finally resolved after almost 3 hours of waiting.
