Update with FirmwareFinder - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Maybe a dumb question: I'm currently on B360 (VTR-L09 8.0.0.360) and I see that in Firmware Finder the B365 is available and approved for my IMEI.
Is there any risk on installing theis trough FF instead of waiting for the OTA? (like risk on bootloop etc)
Will I still be able to have OTA updates in the future when updating trough FF or will I always have to maual update with FF afterwards?

Hello. It won't be a problem but if you want my advice go back to the previous stable build of nougat (B185 I believe), to start clean, through HiSuite using your PC, and the you'll receive automatically the latest B365 through ota. And always choose the option "download latest full package"

How can you go back to B185 when the phone is already in OREO?

Connect your phone to your PC and download HiSuite. From there you can choose the option to rollback to a previous firmware. In this case nougat

it doesnt work mate, this option is no longer available

Why would you do that? I've updated from B360 to B365 with FF without any problems. So what's the advantage of going back to Nougat?

I read somewhere that FF breaks the ota and acting weird sometimes. So I rolled back to nougat, waited 2 3 days and Oreo update appeared normally.

FF doesn't break anything as it's just an intermediate between your phone and OTA server.
If you do everything according to instructions you will not have any troubles and normal OTA updates will be still available. I always update via FF using DNS method and it works like a charm.

rollback to b190 and use firmware finder or hisuite to update ,only version with date 2017.03.22 is working.
Looks like HiVoice recognition speed, security patches & some fix for a camera error. Nothing too major.
This update increases HiVoice's voice recognition speed, and integrates Google security patches.
Otpimizations: Increases HiVoice's voice recognition speed. Integrates Google security patches for improved system security.
Fixes: Fixes an issue where error prompts occasionally displayed when Camera was opened while using OK Google.
Then I better wait for OTA. Everytime rollback to B190 to update sound weird to me.

I can update directly to B370 from B362 using dload method. Just download the update.zip package from the updated Huawei Firmware Finder (android version). Choose the one that has FullOTA marking (dated 22-03-2017). Then unzip the UPDATE.APP to the dload folder and do the usual 3 button method.
By the way, everything updated smoothly, including the android security patch level and kernel build version and date. But my version still stuck at B362! For everyone who have updated to B370 from B362, does your version still stuck at B362?
Dload method work from B363 to B370? But why you still stuck at B362?

Can you try to use 5ghz wifi on ur phone.. is it working? Mine after update to b362 it is not working
I am on 362 and havo no problems activating hot spot on 5 Ghz. I am just wondering whether the 370 version has any significant improvements.
Yes it works. The kernel build date and the security patch level is updated to 21 March 2017 and 1 March 2017, respectively. "Ok Emy" also seems to be more responsive, especially when the device is asleep. It's just that the version number displayed at "about phone" still stuck at VIE-L29C636B362.

On B370 and 5GHz tethering works properly in 802.11ac mode. Not sure about 802.11n. Maybe they disabled the 5GHz 802.11n on B362 and beyond?
I managed to update C432 to B370, same thing new security patch and kernel but still displays B360

I used service menu, it turned out I had to do a second install with the update_data_hw.... package instead​ of the update-package. Now it's B370.
I wish I could install them both at once, don't know the procedure for that if possible.

Thanks, i did it this way too and it worked.
Could You please link files used ? Cause i tried several files and also followed this guide http://www.stechguide.com/download-huawei-p9-plus-nougat-firmware but no luck
Firmware finder offers two large update files for C432B370, I used the one dated March 21st. Apparently in the guide linked above they use the one from April 13th. Can anybody explain the difference between these two?
There are some fixes stated in the changelog for 0413 which aren't mentioned in the changelog for 0321, so possibly in essence it's a patch for 0321 ... I will try to update to it later.

Thank You
Finally i got It
Download manually from FF 21.03 firmware and also update_data_full_hw_eu
Installed 21.03 firmware i got 360 but with kernel and security patch updated
Rebooted and installed update_data_full_hw_eu and i got b370
Maybe later i Will try 13.04 firmware
Thank You again
When trying to install the update.zip from April 13th it instantly fails and then the device reboots. Tried same method as with the march files. Don't really get why one works and the other one doesn't

Update to a higher version

I have B106, how can i update to a higher version? Through firmware finder
I'm also on B106 and there is no OTA update available.. I think every newer firmware is still in Beta, so that's why there's no OTA update yet.

I managed to install b110 through firmware finder( the file that has 1.9Gb ), the procedure is: send firmare to proxy then change the wifi to localhost and proxy 8080, open Huawei updater, it will automaticly search for a new version then you'll have to search for the newst firmare, there's a little button in the right corner.

In the changelog i noticed that they'll remove beauty mode and few improvements, after update beauty mode is still here, i didn't noticed anything changed.

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.

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.

No August update?

A lot of users are saying they got an update with August security patches and other improvements.
But now it's almost the end of August and I haven't have got any update after the July update.
Build number: LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675)
Varient:Indian
Any help?
1.) Is your boot-loader unlocked ?
2.) Do you have a Custom Kernel or Recovery Installed?
3.) Are you Rooted?
If the answer is yes to any of them then thats why your not getting any OTA's, If Yes is on 1.) then simply issue the fastboot command to relock the device "fastboot oem relock <bootloader-code>" If its yes to 2.) / 3.) Then your going to need to flash the phone back to stock before then relocking the bootloader.

1) Was unlocked
2)Had TWRP
3)Was rooted
I switched back to stock because of constant bugs especially the camera(what's the use of keeping a camera oriented phone in the pocket if it's camera is of no use?)
I'd used HuRupdater to flash the firmware. Now bootloader's relocked and everything's working fine except updates.
I think I flashed the wrong firmware maybe ( I forgot the build number so had to guess. I was sure I had an LLD-AL10 and that there was a C675 and 8.0 in the build number. I matched the changelog with that of the last update I got and then I kinda found out that everything matched to LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675) )
Would one stop getting updates if they installed wrong firmware?
Everything works fine except updates.( And the bootloader 'relocked' status in fastboot).
Should I just flash the August update with HuRupdater( that's gonna be a lot of hassle as I have to unlock bootloader and do all those stuff) or can I update via any other method?
Right you can use Firmware finder on your phone which is a good start.
So using FF select then next version up from your current and only select a OTA-MF, then make sure its for your phone by clicking check firmware access.
If its for your phone then simply use the in-app proxie and connect to a wifi point. Once you have done this edit that Wifi via Settings and change the Proxie to Localhost port 8080. Then go the System and Update.
Now it should download the small version OTA to your phone and reboot to try to install it, it it goes thought and installs without error then great, if it errors out when you boot back into android it will offer the Full OTA without using FF to which will then flash proper without losing data then see if OTA's work after that.

I checked and this is what happened.
FF detected my phone as LLD-AL10C675
The latest update that's is approved is
LLD-AL10 8.0.0.181(C675CUSTC675D1)
It is B181
But that update is from June. So I searched for LLD-AL10 and pressed ok , so that it shows all firmwares for lld al10.
And I think I found the one I have currently installed(build number and changelog matches) LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675CUSTC675D1). It is from 11/7/2018. Everything above says either firmware not approved or has a wierd term cn in the available models section.
This is something I quite don't understand. When I check firmware access it says lld-al10:all-cn.
I think cn stands for China.( Uploading screenshot)
Would it be safe for me to install the update?
Also is it necessary to download the update just above the one I have installed now or can I skip to the latest one?
Sorry if that's a lot of questions.
I'm in a tight corner now.
I can't get any updates using the dns method or the in app proxy method.
This sucks as I was able to get an update using the dns method 3 weeks back. I didn't install it. I checked for updates, it showed updates, then I stopped dns and things went back to how it was(no updates ?). Today I tried again and nothing happened.
Crazy phone?
Are you selecting the smaller updates as it will not work with full ota's any more.

Well it worked for me from going from LLD-L31c432b133 to LLD-L31c432b136 as the small OTA came down failed to install so then it downloaded the full version are you sure your setting the WiFi to use the proxies using localhost and port 8080?

Yup I'm sure I did those right. I tried both the VPN and proxy methods. As I told VPN used to work.
Anyways I'm gonna wait and try it a few more times. Then I might use HuRupdater.

OMFG bro I fixed it.
You see Huawei had rolled out an update for the 'system update' app through playstore. I had updated it. And after I uninstalled the update for it, things are starting to work again ?.
Only 3 questions remains.
1) Can I install firmware that is not approved?
2)Is it necessary to install the update just above the version I
have currently installed?
3)Is it okay if FF says it's approved but has the part LLD-AL10-
all-cn:all ?
Does the cn part matter ?
Would be very grateful if you could help
1) Yes
2) No
3) CN= China. Personally I wouldn't, plus I don't speak Chinese , why would you want to ? I also like having full access to Google playstore.
On an aside, I'm beginning to get the impression you won't be happy till you really brick your phone . :laugh::laugh:

I have tried this procedure more than three times and it just doesn't work. I have the same model version C432 and the same firmware B133. I even downloaded the full Ota file and tried through SD card update ("#" #2846579#"#"), still nothing. When I connect it to Hisuite it says that I have the last official version. Any suggestions?

I used the FF app on mobile then used in app proxie connected to a wifi point and edited the connection to enable proxie on localhost port 8080. I also only downloaded only the small OTA, however it will fail to install then once you rebooted back into android go system update and then press the 3 dots and go for Full Download that will fix it.
Just a point you may have the same Firmware even the same model but they are not made equal.
Also check Google play store app for Huawei System Update it should look like the picture that's attached then click uninstall and reinstall install the app too before starting as reinstalling that app can help alot.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.
So Ive already done all this because it may be related but no luck.Last time I used FF was to get the B133 which already didnt work on the 7th August,I then uninstalled the FF app,stopped the proxy localhost etc. and right after that I did the update check through system update and the B133 FULL was offered to download,so the B133 was made properly through system update right after all the procedure with the FF.

Try uninstalling the update for the system update app then use the VPN or proxy method.
Maybe the update just hasn't reached you like me.

Firmware update error

I'm currently running ALP-L29 9.0.0.109(C185E2R1P8log) and i'm trying to install ALP-L29 9.0.0.159(C185E2R1P12) though system upgrade option, but when i'm trying to upgrade it shows system update error message and the upgrade does not executes.
Do i need to roll back to 8.0 version first? This beta that i have now installed will detect someday the new version and upgrade automatically ? the device is already unlocked.
Please advice.

I'm not sure which method he used to update his phone, but you can use eRecovery method of FunkyHuawei if your phone is not unlocked with bootloader. I used it to update to 9.0.0.108 (mine is C636), going to update to 9.0.0.159 tonighf. Check the attached image, it shows the available Pie firmwares as mentioned.

Since Huawei stopped the bootloader unlocking service, and I got my phone recently, the method of unlocking the bootloader is troublesome and kind of costly, so I decided not to do anything with it. With FunkyHuawei's eRecovery method, you can update your phone to any firmwares available on their site even with a locked bootloaded. It is quite easy, you should take a look at it. If you decided to go with them, I'd recommend you to back up your data (HiSuite might not be able to restore app data) before updating. I had to factory reset the phone after the update because the phone might have some glitches. Really, I'd recommend this method, it does cost you $18 but it gets the job done. You can PM me if you have any further question.

I'm currently running ALP-L29 9.0.0.109(C185E2R1P8log) and i'm trying to install ALP-L29 9.0.0.159(C185E2R1P12) though system upgrade option, but when i'm trying to upgrade it shows system update error message and the upgrade does not executes.
Do i need to roll back to 8.0 version first? This beta that i have now installed will detect someday the new version and upgrade automatically ? the device is already unlocked.
Please advice.

I had an error while trying to update to 159 via eRecovery method. The computer does not recognize the USB connection. Couldn't fix it myself so I contacted FunkyHuawei and they advised me to do HiSuite method and it worked. I thought I had to downgrade to Oreo first but I just left the 159 on and it could update. May be that could be your solution too.
Thank you all, i have unlocked, rebrand and install Pie my device using funkyhuawei services but since i ran out of credits i want to be sure that if i renew just 1 credit to download the new firmware i can do the upgrade directly from my pie old build to the new one without issues instead of purchase more credits if i have to execute more tasks.
I've manage to download the new build from another site but as i mentioned as im trying to installing using the hidden menu it does not work

I've just sent a couple of replies.
Thanks.
When is mate 10 (Alp-l29, c185) receiving emui 9 in the middle east?
Hi I am desperate to receive emui 9.0 after seeing many sites claiming the beta for middle east varients.
I joined the beta program few months ago but misteriously got kicked out or I must say the "my projects" tab was empty a week ago. I would like to know when actually huawei will roll out and OTA update for the mate 10, thankyou

I'm not sure which method he used to update his phone, but you can use eRecovery method of FunkyHuawei if your phone is not unlocked with bootloader. I used it to update to 9.0.0.108 (mine is C636), going to update to 9.0.0.159 tonighf. Check the attached image, it shows the available Pie firmwares as mentioned.

Regarding to OTA, FH told me that we might be able to receive (this build is a legit build from Huawei anyway), but we have to wait and see. I notice that Huawei sends out update at different times to different locations for the same model, hate it. Mate 10 pro is on build 161, but Mate 10 is on build 159, so I guess we have to check FH once in a while together with System Updater. Actually, FH released official Pie updates before Huawei officially announced Pie update schedule, kinda strange though, many have a conspiracy theory on the relationship between FH and Huawei
I think the ROMs provided by FH are stock ROM, that is why we can update the phone through Huawei methods and not third-party ones. Let me guess, you did a factory reset after upgarding to Pie? I had this problem with beta version, and it is an issue with Pie builds, according to FH. If you want to downgrade to Oreo or another build, you have to do it via a specific HiSuite version, to me this way is so much faster than eRecovery. I can provide you the software, but I'd suggest you to contact to FH first, they told me that the reason they don't publish this method is because not every one's issue has a same cause. This is a last resort.
Hope this'd be helpful.

Dear,
They also told me that they didn't stop OTA updates, it's upto huawei to send OTA updates, I hope so it will be like this,
Yes I did factory reset after installing the Pie on my phone, because it was little slow and glitches. No ERecovery is not working to go back to Stock recovery. Can you please tell me that method to try it. Which version you are talking about for HiSuite. I want to go back to the Stock ROM and to receive updates via Huawei OTA. Its very strange to me, that updates are available in the market for the phone, and Huawei not sending to their phones, and also someone like(FW) able to update the phone, something is fishy. May huawei becomes more professional in doing promises.. and satisfy their customers more.

Yes, I also got glitches and many time couldn't turn on the screen, that is why I had to do it. I uploaded the HiSuite version here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NYsPYS6aB1BHaf1p5F_mJJJQMOSc0lql/view?usp=drivesdk
Uninstall your current HiSuite, install this version and follow the same steps (DNS) with FH but without eRecovery.
Not so sure about the stock recovery as you mentioned, but may be what you need is to downgrade to Oreo. I checked on FH and they have a new firmware for downgrade purpose, I don't know what is the difference though. Good luck.
Just received a patch for build 159 from Huawei, so I think OTA works normal on FH's roms.
Finally, ALP-L29 9.0.0.159 officially launched here in Saudi Arabia, and I was not satisfied with the FunkyHuawei software. So decided to downgrade my phone to Android Oreo again, and then update officially.
