After updating you mean?
Updated fine from B393. Thanks!
I also can't root after update from B393 to B394. Flash Twrp went well, but rooting by the systemless method with Supersu 2.67 fails. Nothing happend. Systemless method with Supersu 2.68 ends in a bootloop.
You can use magisk to get systemless root and more
Could someone paste here stock recovery? I've used huawei extractor and I see two recoveries: recovery.img and revocery2.img. I used two of them and I'm stuck on huaei logo after updating. I think I need boot.img and recovery.img, I'm right? :> I used an ARROW firmware before.
EDIT:
Ok, it works. If someone need a recovery and boot files, link below.

Root the B394 with Magisk systemless root work for me.
Thank you!
My phone was in repair shop so when it's returned I updated this directly from clean B200 and then I restored my backup - everything working OK, only few app are missing notification sound and status bar notifications (like Facebook, and messenger) but I'm not sure with what it's related. Tried to reinstall this apps and clear data, but nothing. Any advice?
EDIT: Problem solved - I did factory reset and then restored backup. I did not do factory on clean B200 after returned from service, so maybe that was problem.. So, for now, everything works fine on B394.
Some calendar improvements apparently, but still no 'Fortnightly' setting under Repetition, which I'm not impressed with!
Am liking the new 'Eye comfort' mode though, which I've enabled more or less on a permanent basis. Apart from the drop-down Shortcuts menu in the pic below, it can also be accessed via Settings > Display > Eyesight Protection.
"Eye comfort mode filters out blue light to help relieve visual fatigue when you read for a long period of time. In eye comfort mode, the screen will have a yellowish tint. This is normal"

Hi RamsesP
I read Magisk forum to root the P8 with the B394 firmaware but I couldn't understand how it works (as I understood it needs building a new boot image).
Do You have any trick to do it ?
B394 now has Google certification.
Updated successful with UL00 model. But theme doesnt show store to download, local themes only. Anyone got same problem?
It offered my the update through the phone's built in updater. Nice
It MADE me update by nagging me constantly.
Link is dead. What is going on with Huawei servers? It's impossible to DL the latest firmware B394..... Please help
anybody updated? Any improvement (battery or ram) or bug?

Same problem trying to upgrade... ?
There's a problem with the "update.zip" file. Some files are missing. You can see this error when flashing with TWRP Recovery.
Huawei is not responsible to FIX ANYTHING! Unofficial firmwares, test firmwares, beta firmwares, call it like you want, downloaded from their servers, without their knowledge?!? What do you want exactly?
Only people from Huawei knows why these files are uploaded at all, who must use them and for what to use them! Maybe there is a reason to be like that, so someone not to BROKE his phone!
When there is an update you will see it in Setting or Hicare app! Nowhere else! Period!
Just checked firmware finder and seems like they removed it.

The files are just update files on their servers, nothing to be so worried about, mate. No need to get your knickers in a knot.
Wait for the Full-Update PV file if you want to be able to flash it with success using the TWRP recovery (B383-B386). I got B383 working as the PV file which contained both the full update with two files.
Doesn't seem to be EMUI 4.1, but it is an update nonetheless. Other phones have it worse.
- Dual SIM: (B604) - OTA and FULL

You can always find new updates with Huawei Firmware Finder, or on this page.
INSTALLATION:
OTA: You need to have stock recovery. you will extract the UPDATE.APP from the .zip and put that in a folder called "dload" in your phone's SD card. Now you can either:
Dial *#*#2846579#*#* in the stock phone app, and go Software Upgrade > SDcard upgrade or
Shutdown the phone, and then hold POWER, and both the VOL buttons until the EMUI update starts
FULL:
You can flash the update.zip in TWRP. It will show a small error but it's fine.
You can also extract the partitions boot, cust, system with Huawei Update Extractor (usage instructions in the forum) and flash with fastboot through an unlocked bootloader (HOW DO I DO THAT?)
If you have stock recovery you can extract the UPDATE.APP from the .zip and put that in a folder called "dload" in your phone's SD card. Now you can either:
Dial *#*#2846579#*#* in the stock phone app, and go Software Upgrade > SDcard upgrade or
Shutdown the phone, and then hold POWER, and both the VOL buttons until the EMUI update starts
NOTES:
By the way, you can try this method to get better ROMs on this phone. You can find ROMs for these devices that Huawei gives better updates to, and flash them with TWRP, but they may have stuff that doesn't work. E.g. CAM phones don't have NFC so you won't get NFC support with their ROM.
Isn't the ALE-L21C432 that is needed ?

It's a typo. Anyhow the c432 refers to europe region i think. if your phone is not carrier locked you can install whatever region you want, not with the official method though, only fastboot or TWRP
I just hop in here to remind everyone that this ROM won't pass Safety Net at this time. You'll have to wait until it is releases officially. And that will be on the beginning of the next month.
Also: This is a leaked build, so it may not be final. Which means that this build may not include all security updates for August. Tbh I'm starting to think that this is all just fake news. The security patch from Google wasn't releases yet, it never is this early. Maybe Huawei is just making their customers think they got a supported device, but actually they are just changing one line in build.prop.

Google releases universal security patches, but NOT this early. If it is releases already, you should be able to find it on the internet.

The boot image is in the attached zip. I tried a ROM from the CAM-L21 phone, which gets EMUI 4.1 updates plus secutity patches. It's a good ROM but themes don't apply at all for some reason. Other than that it's fast and the small improvements of 4.1 are welcome

Surely that's illegal right? And the OTA is like 120+ MB, I doubt it's just a line change

I think it is. But it wouldn't be the first time huawei doesn't stick to rules and laws. I just can't imagine that Google would release the security patch of August this early. There is still to much time until the month end and it gets released officially. There is still a lot of time for more exploits and whatever to show up. I don't think Google would do this.
Edit: I just did a little search, there was nothing on the internet. The latest is from July.

First of all, update TWRP. You can flash the full update.zip in TWRP, maybe you need factory reset though. try first without
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 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

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

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.

On firmware finder is a new EMUI update available, check:
https://pro-teammt.ru/en/online-firmware-database-ru/?firmware_model=WAS-&firmware_page=0
It's available for many variations of the device, however not for was-lx1a c432, which is the device I have at hand atm...
Of course Huawei support doesn't know anything!
Has someone with a fitting variation of the p10 lite received the update already by normal OTA?
I could flash another cust (c55) via HWOTA and everything was fine, except it showed the build as 8.0.0.46 (1HAM) instead of 8.0.0.393...
Hence I reverted via HiSuite to Nougat and updated all the way to 8.0.0.390 from 2019, where it stops for lx1a with cust c432 - which surprises me as I thought that the free EU version (dual/4GB) certainly had it's own build up and running, however no, doesn't look like it...
It should be possible to manually flash the updated partitions via fastboot individually or again use HWOTA again and ignore the wrong build number as THIS most likely will be the very last update for this 3+ years old device anyway.!
Not sure if anyone is still listening here anymore, didn't see any recent conversations here in 4 to 6 weeks I'm playing with this device :cyclops: which is of course kinda normal for aged phones like this one
Edit:
As suggested in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/service-rom-b362-c432-upgrade-o-o-n-o-t3813946
My lx1a is in fact a l21a (c432) and firmware is already available, I'll check it out now, however it's still weird as firmware finder usually suggests the right firmware by searching for lx1a, never before I had to look up l21a...
Gonna report about success later on!
Edit2: when initializing the update via dailer it says the update is incompatibile, even though I setup the dload folder according to the guidelines (zip not update.app) and have the correct package L21A_EU - never gonna understand the way Huawei thinks with this...
Forced update doesn't work for same incompatibility reasons!
Edit3: just tried using update.app files instead of zips but no chance, still errors out.
Also tried firmware finder erecovery DNS method but this gives me a "none authorized update", like using the l21a package on the lx1a isn't supposed to work... I'm running out of ideas!
Last Edit:
Nothing worked so I unlocked the Bootloader to use HWOTA8 to update to package (full) L21AC432B394 and it perfectly worked...
Now finally I'm on 8.0.0.394 c432 with July 2020 security patch and little added functionality, kernel was compiled on 15th of July 2020 - 3+ years and a update has been released, that's actually a big surprise considering it's Huawei and a low level device!
Greetings Sam

It didn't change anything obvious, same UI, same experience - Huawei today (assistant app) was added, however no one is forced to use it BUT the most important feature in this update for me is the the 1+ year of security patches, remember it's March 19 to July 20 - I mean it's still Oreo but at least up to date on a security level, system, vendor, kernel, pretty much all parts where updated and improved, it even feels little faster but this could also be because of the factory reset I did to flash the update (unlocked and locked the device in order to use HWOTA8)...
If you want details install firmware finder, search for WAS-L and check out the changelog of 8.0.0.394, maybe the link above provides a changelog, don't remember... There is a pretty long changelog, technically this is not only a security update but a functionality update, I just don't remember all aspects of it!
