Anyone with B387/B388? - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Who has successfully updated to B387 or B388?
Or do we still have to wait for the Full OTA MF-PV?

If you use the OTA DNS method from firmware finder team, its possible to install the OTA-MF version of this.
Note that the firmware is not marked for installation that i can only assume means it's not passed all the QA tests.
I have not yet installed either of these.

I tried to install with firmware finder and update came up succesful but when I check I am still on B386.
I then tried to install the full image it failed.
Can't install the updates via dload method either.

How to apply zip update files like Hisuite Do it?

I debrand from L19C605B135 to L19C636B150, after I update to the last MM firmware L19C636B190
I notice that exist two B361 (Nougat) firmwares in Huawei servers, the first have 29 december date and the second 30 dec date.
The first firmware changelog, explain the Nougat OS, etc etc.
The second firmware changelog, include power consuption y UI improvements.
I update to first Nougat firmware (29 dec)(with Huawei Updater tool), L19C636B361, all ok, camera, keyboard, etc etc.
Now, I want apply the second update (30 dec), exist posibility of Full or OTA update in Huawei servers.
The Huawei Updater tool read the new firmware but the HiSuite tool present the message that not exist new firmware version. I try it with two posibilities, FULL and OTA. No luck.
I downloaded all zips, for FULL and OTA update.
For OTA update are three files (update.zip, update_hw_spcseas.zip and update_data_public.zip)
Note that dload method not guarantee correct full aplication of firmware update, in the update.zip exist UPDATE.APP file, but exist several more files, in the other zip files include several other files too.
Here the question, How can I do it? help me please
Exist some method for apply these zip files, like the official Hisuite tool do it?
Thanks a lot.

Refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/p9-7-0-nougat-update-eva-lo9-b182-t3539754 second post.
Very important paste the correct URL of the firmware (example, L19C636B361, etc)
No bootloader open or root privileges required.
You can find a huge list of firmwares from russian web site: hwmt
Search in google. The warehouse firmwares here in XDA is incomplete.
I cant paste complete URL in the post, I dont have privileges still.
Another way is use the "firmware finder" app. (works searching in the russian web site I think)
Others instructions that apply the UPDATE.APP file directly, not is correct, these update is incomplete and sure that several things doesnt work (camera, NFC, etc etc).

I don't know, but I think OTA updates should be received because bootloader has not been opened, stock recovery.

[SOLVED] How to roll back to 6.0 after updating to 7.0 with HFF ?

Hey guys !
After getting into so many troubles to finally manage to do the Nougat update with Huawei Firmware Finder I realised something :
No TWRP, which means no root (please don't mention KingRoot...) and no Xposed. The last one, I can get used to, but the other two...
So I tried to rollback to Marshmallow using HFF, but I couldn't get any of the two rollback updates files to be downloaded through the proxy. I also tried to rollback to the last B130 available using the dload method, but the recovery (stock, of course) failed to install firmware.
I managed to download a previous update (which wasn't meant to be used to rollback) with HFF proxy, but once the system rebooted to recovery to install the firmware, I got the same error as before.
Am I stuck with Nougat and no proper root ?
Thank your for your time and your help.
EDIT : Didn't find how, but found an unofficial TWRP and modded SuperSU working with EMUI 5/Nougat. Just gave it a go myself and it's working. For those interested : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/twrp-t3588356

Unable to install B382 (for VIE-L29C636)

Straight to the point, has anyone successfully updated to B382?
I've tried via FirmwareFinder, it downloads successfully, but during install it says Unauthorised, removes files, and remains the same.
Trying via the dload/sdcard method, and it gives an error @ 5%, and then prompts to reboot the phone.
Have tried going from B190/202/362/370 but no luck each time. Tried with bootloader unlocked & locked, have since done a factory reset once on 370, and still no progress.
Will remain on B370 for now, B382 appears to only be a security patch, but it would be nice to have the peace of mind being on the latest (for Huawei anyway) patch.
CAN YOU GIVE ME LINK FOR b370 ? I HAVED TO TRY WITH FIRMWARE FINDER BUT NOT WORKING, THANK YOU. and i have a same problem when update B382, i think it's a beta version .

I actually used Firmware Finder to update to B370. Although initially I was having issues getting to that as well, from B362 both via dload & FF.
Ended up rolling back to B190 (via dload), then using FF went to 362 > 370.
Here's the LINK to the update.zip anyway.

Check one of the other threads in here on how to update via FF, step by step.
You need to go back out and check for updates again. Full size is def not 5mb.
In order to update to B382 NOW, you need to unlock your bootloader and use TWRP to update it UNLESS you wait till it official launch.

Bootloader unlocked.
update.zip for B382 downloaded.
Is it as simple as flashing that zip in TWRP?
Anything else required? Anything to be aware of?
As mentioned above, I've only updated via dload & FF previously, was not aware of any other method/s.
Thanks
I didn't not tried since bit troublesome for me to backup all data etc. I rather wait for final release. You may try to google this firmware and TWRP method was highlighted. Anyway do it at your own risk.

b382 is still unofficial, if u insist on installing it try this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/easy-upgrade-to-unapproved-emui-5-update-t3649532
The firmware already approved by Huawei. Just use FF to update will do.

[HELP NEEDED] PRA-LX1C432B170 currently, no update found after debranding

Hi all,
I have a PRA-LX1 that had a Vodafone customization. The suddendly it just factory resetted itself (I SWEAR, I had it in my pocket) only to find it with a NRD90M firmware. Sick of this customization, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a C432 oeminfo. I then tried to flash PRA-LX1C432B212 downloaded via FirmwareFinder, but went in bootloop. Well, no panic: fired up eRecovery, it installs PRA-LX1C432B170. I installed it and after the factory reset I now have a working phone. My only question is: is B170 really the latest available version I can get via OTA? I'd like not to lose the OTA feature so I don't have to rely on Firmware Finder to get updates every time... is there anything I can do?
A slightly related question: one thing I tried is to download B212 with FirmwareFinder. I managed to use the in-app proxy and actually found an update, but once it downloaded it didn't apply because of some failed verification (I don't have the phone with me now, but it was something AFTER the integrity check, so it's not something related to the download. I also verified the availability of B212 in FF by clicking the "Check Firmware Access" button and it's actually not available, like any other version I tried. Does this mean I won't get any OTA in the future?
Here is a discussion, probably related to your problem. Are you using TWRP Recovery when installing the OTA update or the stock recovery?
I read somewhere that Huawei OTA updates won't install on custom recoveries.

Hello
I would like to update my Honor 9 lite ordered a china
But It seemsthe OTA update does not work in France for this mode Yes or No ?
I just read almost every page of this thread but I must admit that I am not enough to succeed to make all these manipulations.
I managed to download 3 file of the latest update Huawei Firmware Finder.
I have 1 file (update.zip), 1 (update_data_full_public.zip) and another (update_full_LLD-L22A_hw_in.zip)
But now I do not know how to update the firmware with these 3 files.
Yes I am lost because I can not find a simple method to update my firmware.
I used the Huawei Firmware Finder Android application, but I can not start an update even though I downloaded the files as what by the proxi as advised or go through a DNS.
Yes I am a novice but I would like to successfully update this smartphone.
Thank you for your help and advice

Its not that complicated even though it might seen tricky.
There are two ways to do this:
1)firmware finder(Android app)
You can use firmware finder's update through proxy or dns method.
But before you do that go to play store and search for "system update". In the result you can see the EMUI system update app. Click it and uninstall the updates.
Then open firmware finder(Android app) and go to the firmware you want to install. You can find dns method and proxy method there. DNS would be easier but both works.
Choose whichever you want. Select the auto mode for more ease of installing. Then check for updates from the settings app and you will hopefully find the update listed. Download it like normal OTA update and then it'll be installed.
Points to consider:
*This will only work with a locked bootloader and if it is unlocked relock it
*It's recommend to download only full updates as these will have less chance of failing
*Make sure that you only download approved firmwares otherwise the update will be abandoned after download (means you wasted your data for nothing)
*Choose which firmware to install carefully and try to stick with your varient as installing other varient's firmware may fail or cause bugs
2)Through HuRupdater
This is not recommended if you're not familiar with rooting or bootloader unlocks
If you don't have an unlock code then you cannot proceed as honor stopped giving bootloader unlock codes so if you don't have your code keep trying the first method
You can use the firmware finder for PC or Android.
Download all 3 files of the firmware (ONLY FULL OTAs)
Then unlock the bootloader(if not done yet)
Flash a twrp for our device
Then download HuRupdater
Follow the guidelines: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Long story short, you need to rename the three files to "update.zip" , "update_all_hw.zip" and "update_data_public.zip"
Then keep all three files and HuRupdater .zip in the same folder. Using TWRP flash the HurUpdater.zip file(not others)
After flashing is done relock the bootloader to recieve further OTA Updates.
Then you're all good to go.
Points to consider:
*Don't relock bootloader right after flashing. Boot up the phone and set it up. Check if everything is working and then only relock it.
*Keep recovery.img with the 3 files and HuRupdater.zip while flashing. Then after checking if everything is okay, flash the firmware again but this time delete the recovery.img
*Don't relock with TWRP installed because of possible risk of bricking.
So if you are familiar with the rooting procedures 2nd method might be good but you'll loose warranty.
I honestly recommend the 1st one as it has less risk involved.
But remember everything you do is at your own risk.
Anyways there is a thanks button below ?
Edit: hey I just noticed that you have an LLD-AL10 C675. So there's a new update B188. You can find it in firmware finder. It is approved and goes with your varient. Use the dns method. Refer above for details
Hello
I finally managed to update my Honor 9Lite
1 - You must remove all updates from EMUI
2 - Go in Huawei Firmware Finder find the right version for your Smartphone (I took a Fuul OTA 188. and check its compatibility
3 - Change your Internet Connection with Proxy Settings as requested by Firmware Finder
4 - Go to system settings and start checking for updates
An update will be found and it is good that you have selected in Firmware Finder.
5 - Start the update, when the download starts 1% pause it.
6 - Shut down the Wifi resume download with 4G.
7 - Once the download is done the update is done by itself do not interrupt it-
8 - The phone restarts and check that the update has gone well
For me everything went well
Thank you all for your advice :good::good::good:
Have a good day
Best regards
