Updating L09C440B138 to B139 - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi all.
I'm a fairly new P9 owner with moderate android experience. I'm not totally up to speed with the Huawei build numbers. I'm currently on C440B138 and using the firmware finder I see B139 available for my device. This should I believe update the device to 4.1.1.
The phone is on UK network EE and is on contract (network locked) I would have thought that I would see the B139 update on the phones internal updater but I get no updates available.
What do you think the risks are if I just go ahead and update to B139 using the firmware tool? Am I likely to end up with a useless phone if I use that update. The plan would be to update to 139 and use the method on here to update to EMUI 5.
Or do I wait and hope that EE releases 139 and the EMUI 5 update at some point in the future?
Additional - Does anyone know if EMUI 5 includes the adoptive storage feature?
Many thanks

Update from L19C636B320 to NDR90M test-key

Hi everybody, I'm new comer and using Huawei P9. Version L19C636B320
I tried many times update to B361 version by Huawei updater and Hisuite but unfortunately It didn't work. Follow some guideline I have just download update of L19C432B360 and copy to "dload" folder in my device, using power key and 02 volume button, it has been work and now my device version is: NDR90M test-key.
After that, I have use "update.app" file of some version (L19C636B361, L19C636B190) for change version again but it's not working and when use hisuite said that:
you are using the lastest official version.
Current version: NDR90M test-keys(Official)
Note: I cannot find the "check for update" function in Setting menu too.
Please help to explain what is status of my device?
Should I worrier about the next update? My device can be normally receive OTA update or not? What should I will do now?
Many thank for help!
(Sorry if any mistake on my English)
The same here.
I have a P9 Lite Gold L31 brand Vodafone ITA with no mods from the box, and I tried to update via Proxy following instructions of a non-specialized website.
I choosed FULL OTA 1,29 GB ca. and now I have NDR90M test-keys - Android 7.0
The phone seems to work but reading online it semms that this is not a regular package and I will not receive updates.
I became to shake myself with no ability to do anything.
Please tell me what to do to go back to previous situation (smartphone as out-of-box branded Vodafone with marshmallow and correct serial number) or at least to go to a situation where I'll can update via official channel.
Thank you so much, I can also pay you via PayPal.

EVAL09C432B166 - update to B360 or B361

Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie here so would appreciate any kind responses being kept suitably simple. I've just bought (early January) a P9 in the UK, sim free, unbranded running EVA-L09C432B166. Its last security update is July 2016.
I came to this phone as a warranty replacement for a Nexus 6P boot-looped by the December Andriod 7.1.1 update on the basis it would get Android 7.0 soon. However, there is no sign of this via the updater or the new HiCare app. I've tried installing full versions of B182 (though I might need this as a step to Nougat), B360 and B361 from Firmware Finder using the dload method (volume up/power button and dialler method) but they all fail at around 37-40%. Does anyone have any ideas whether the B166 version will ever get an OTA update to Andriod 7.0 (Huawei reply with the same general statements about it being rolled out in batches) or can advise what I am doing wrong when trying to update manually?
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks very much, but...
Hi, thanks very much for your response. Unfortunately I appear to have two problems with it.
Firstly I have been unable to update to B182, it does not appear in Hi Suite or Updater and I have not been able to update via dload as the update fails.
Secondly, I run a Mac not Windows machine so no Hi Suite for me I understand.
Im afraid you will have to use a windows machine. Following these steps you will have zero problems. I was also on B182 and all went smooth without a single problem.
edit: sorry,, I read "I have been able to update to b182". which version are you using right now?? what methods have you used to get to b182? and lastly what errors have you encountered?
I'm on B166. No update shows in update or HiCare. I have tried updating to B182 using firmware finder using. dload. I have tried using both power/volume up buttons and the dialler method with dload in both internal memory and on SD card. All methods fail at around 37-40%..
I am not an expert at all so any advice would be great, thanks.

I'm resurrecting this thread as am in exactly the same boat Steve. Did you ever figure this out?
Contacting Huawei customer services, they were cagey saying the update would be rolled out in batches then when I gave my IMEI number to find out, they became very cagey refusing to confirm or deny it would be updated at all..
Considering returning my new (cheap deal) P9 if it cant/won't be updated to N and EMUI 5.0...
S
After lots of 'pushing' by Twitter message. Huawei confirmed update process commenced in Q1 of 2017 but they would not commit to whether it would end within that period. They confirmed that my P( would be updated and that if it wasn't updated by the end of the process they would push it manually to my IMEI. SO ti does appear I will get it - eventually.
Just a little bit to add to the mix, I sent my imei to Huawei today only to be told that I'd bought the phone from carphone warehouse and the firmware id's slightly different and won't be updated until May, they wouldn't say what the difference is as my phone is still an open market version! Frustrated is an understatement I thought I was getting a unlocked phone!!! Think I'll be sticking to a Google phone in the future, at least you know where you stand!

P9 EVA-L19605 nougat update help.........

Ok I have a P9 EVA-L19C605 that's currently on MM B135. No matter what I do I cant seem to upgrade to nougat and what makes it more frustrating is that when I check the firmware finder application, I'm seeing nougat updates. Heck, i'm now even seeing B380. Whenever I try to use the firmware finder to send the update to the system updater, the update is a mere 1.4 gb or there about. I seems as if I'm not getting the region package in the update(and yes I chose download full package).
When the update completely downloads, it gets an error at verifying and then reboots( this also happens with the huawei updater/hisuite method). I really would appreciate any help, from anywhere or from anyone with the same phone model. Another thing i'd like to note, it seems that EVA-L19C605 is the Latin American model.

Flashing an OTA Update

I got myself a P20 Pro C636 currently at firmware 8.1.0.152 patch 01.
I'm a huge fan of the Mobile PUBG Game and if you've been playing the game you will realize that the new addition Sanhok map introduces "Rainbow artifacts" all over the map. It somehow ruins the gaming experience for me.
Last I check with firmware finder, Huawei actually releases a patch for that, called patc03 for the firmware version 8.1.0.152.
Does anyone know how I can update to this patch manually, without waiting for the OTA update from Huawei? It will be very slow in my place here.
My phone is currently bootloader unlocked. I tried checking HuruUpdater but it is only for FullOTA-MF firmware. Anyone care to share some information into this?
Thanks!

How to update CLT-L09 to EMUI 10?

I've been researching ways on how to upgrade my P20 Pro to Android 10. I've tried most of half the day trying to get my phone to find, download and install the EMUI 10 update.
Using Firmware Finder, is says my phone has been approved for the EMUI 10 update. I've tried the hot-spot first and altering the DNS, didn't work. I then tried to alter the DNS at the router, still didn't work and it continued to try and download EMUI 9 in eRecovery.
I've manually downloaded the ROM package and extracted it to a folder called Dload in my internal root storage. I'm not sure where else to go with this..... Any ideas?
P.S Phone is under contract by EE.
Thanks.
EMUI 10 was not yet globally released. The package you found with FF is for Indian region, that's why it doesn't work for you.
There are multiple threads on the forum covering this.
There is now a 10 version on firmware finder if anyone wants a go
