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!

Dload for p8 lite 2017

Someone help me! Please!
Why I can't flash anything with dload method? I have tried lots of things: stock recovery, twrp, erecovery, proxy. But nothing. I tried to use firmware finder too for download an update fullota (of course, all the 3 ZIP package) and tried to put in dload the zips, the update.apps, but won't work. For dload I mean the three buttons method. It gives me always failed, at 5%, with the error "Software Install Failed". Please help me! I tried to toggle signature too to the firmware with huawei firmware extractor but not working. How I can flash firmware (especially firmware founded with firmware finder) using dload method? Please help me and my friends! Thank you to everyone!

These beta build found by firmware Finder might be not enable to be installed on your device. Use the latest check with EMEI to know if it fits.

I'm sorry didn't get the last part. Can you clarify it please ?
I'm on the same boat as the op. With the firmware finder I can only find PRA-LX1C33B130 but like op said, it stops at 5%. The firmware for my phone is PRA-LX1C33B120, but I can't find it anywhere. Right now my phone is bricked because I really can't find any version to install it.

Update firmware Finder, select the update you want and hit "check......" then it will now ask you for IMEI compatibility check
For me, Ive found more than 10 firmwares, I'm on B110 and there is up to b125... Nevertheless I can't install the proxy add-on, I can't use their "register with dns" feature, and I can't past the 5% threshold on dload flash. It seems to be not working at all for pra-lx1. I'm on stock B110 update (phone came with b100 and the B110 update was a legal ota without any mods).
Did you try to send a mail to huawei support team? Explain that you are a dev and you need to stock rom. They may send you a link share it please!

That option is on android right ? I can't use it, so I was trying with the windows version but it doesn't have any option for checking the firmware (or at least i'm not finding it). ~
Well after you said that there is a option to check the firmware the only one that I found (PRA-LX1C33B130) when I checked the firmware it said that It was not approved to install. I guess that is why it stops at 5% ? maybe ? hopefully the firmware status goes to approved somewhere in the neaaarr future.

I get software Install Failed at 5% using dload ALWAYS! Even with authorized/allowed firmware. I'm thinking that dload on Huawei p8 lite 2017 is not working at all.

Cant upgrade my L29-C636 to nougat

Hi... I cant find a way to upgrade sucessfully from MM to N in my device. ..
I tried both Mostar method (via Huawei Updater and via Firmware Finder) which are shown here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/easy-guide-to-upgrade-vie-l29c636-to-t3538540 :
When I try the H.U. method, it seems that the ROM URL provided is not valid, so in the Hisuite app I get "internet conection problem" message.
When I try the F.F. method, it seems that the app has changed a little bit, so I dont find the functions explained by Mostar.
I tried another method with F.F. too, by using proxy option and vpn option. In order to follow Mostar instructions I have searched the C636B320 version in F.F., but i got an error message cause apparenly that the version were deleted on the servers.
So I tried with others, (like B391, and all versions of B362 and B370, always "fullOTA-MF") but always I had issues. In some cases the new version has downloaded but at install, I got an error and nothing happens. In another cases when downloads the upgrade it stops at 70% and closes the system upgrade app.
I just search and read all in this forum, and honestly I dont understand enough to apply C432 or C20 methods to my phone version. So I ask you for help, please.
I'm stuck with a modern model phone that apparently will have an Android "O" upgrade in the world soon, but I still in MM...
Thanks in advance!

I managed a couple of months ago to flash B362 to get EMU 5.0 via FF and worked fine.
Since then I've tried every method (except TWRP) to get to B390 non PV version.
Always get download failed...
So tried Auto DNS, Manual DNS, Proxy and downloaded files into Dload folder ... Phone updater found relevant firmware but either download failed or package mismatch or something.
B390 latest valid firmware for L29C636 so can someone tell me how to get to this version and what is the difference between the FullOTA MF version and the PV one...I think a few members would like to understand that.

you must update to other version first
try update to B370 then B380 then B390

Ok thanks to Mostar088 thread on updating from MM to N...he says
"You have to use Proxy method and the firmware must be approved. If u click Check Firmware Access. When u go to Nougat from MM u must use FullOTA-MF-PV. 2.220gb
Use B362 to install.
If u use Proxy method, in Settings enable Use Proxy for install , when it finds the update in Settings - Updater do NOT click on Update but click back one step and then click on Menu, in there choose Download Latest Full Packege.
Then click update but when it starts click Paus and remove proxy settings, then click Resume Update."
As I was on Nougat B362 and thought I was correctly using all the FF methods I noticed Mostar in his quote above mentioned a couple of steps not covered anywhere else. I followed it to the absolute letter and was finally able to update to B390 EMU 5.0.1...
Many thanks to Mostar088 as I had been pulling my hair out.

Huawei P40 Pro Firmware where find to ?

Hi, i've searched so much for but can't find any Firmware for the P40 Pro ELS-NX9. Does anyone know where i can find it ?
The only one i've found is from a russian server and it doesnt work says always wrong device.

ELS-LGRP4-OVS firmwares should work. I flashed ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.148 Full OTA from Firmware Finder (Download Link) using Hisuite Proxy and it worked perfectly with my ELS NX9.

Thanks i will try it.

Hey everyone,
So after bouncing around the P30P HiSuite proxy method thread and thanks to @jericho246 for his earlier post with the path to the .148 full OTA package, I have successfully flashed .148 from .136 for my EU C432 ELS-NX9 as shown below. It's possible to do the same for C605 and the other regions as well assuming you have the correct, approved firmware too. For those on C432, I feel your pain having to wait so long for a working solution as EU always seem one of the last continents to get the newest updates. So now we can have the June and July Android security patches and hopefully all the camera and other improvements carried over across, including .142. Big thanks to the OP @@SilviuO , @IProfessor and everyone from the original source as well that made this all possible for us P40P users: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...de-how-to-flash-approved-fullota-zip-t4112775
This method will also work for those coming from even older versions prior to .136, assuming you use the newest approved firmware for your region and model and that Firmware Finder says it's safe for installation. I wouldn't recommend trying to flash any unapproved versions for your device even if it might look like there's a newer version available on FF as it's probably not for your region yet!
CHECK for your approved OTA Firmware FIRST: Download and install MT Firmware Finder here to check that your firmware is approved and usable for your P40P. DO NOT try to flash firmware that isn't approved and/or isn't designed for your region as this might brick or mess up your device! For example, TN-AN00 is for Chinese region models and not for C432/C636/C605 models. Click for the Google Play Store mirror for those with working GMS
NOTE: I did not need to do full a wipe but backed up via HiSuite anyway just in case. All of my apps and settings remained intact after the update. I don't have GMS so can't confirm if that's still working though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download and install the latest Hisuite_10.1.0.550_OVE Desktop Client on to your PC (you DON'T need to locally download the full OTA as HiSuite will do that for you later)
2. Connect your P40P to your computer, making sure ADB USB debugging is enabled under your Android Dev options and agree to install the HiSuite app on your P40P when prompted. Continue with the next steps until the HiSuite desktop client recognizes your device (the app will ask you an authentication code as well if you've not used HiSuite before). Do a local Backup of all your data to your PC just in case while we're here.
3. Close down your HiSuite Desktop client and download and run the HiSuite proxy.exe (unzip all of the files first to anywhere you'd like)
4. Configure your HiSuite proxy for the suitable version and software region of your P40P. Your cust/model is shown next to your firmware build number under Software Update/About Phone.
FIND THE URL TO YOUR UPDATE THROUGH THE WEB-BASED FIRMWARE FINDER PAGE HERE (make sure you check your region and model back on the app to ensure it's definitely approved for your P40P, in my instance for my EU C432 ELS-NX9, the model began with ELS-XXX)
For .1XX -> .148 C432 EU ELS-NXX MODELS ONLY: Paste this URL for .148 in the package path: http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G5633/g1604/v434397/f1/ , followed by ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.148 as the version next to it and tick the 'Point Version' checkbox. After that, click on the Setup button to finish the proxy configuration. From what I understand, .147, .148 & .149 are identical anyway according to the update log so just edit the version number and paste the new package URL for that one instead if you want to flash another build as stated in the online Firmware Finder database above (make sure the path ends in /f1).
Make sure the output log says it's ready for installation before you proceed and don't close it (as shown in the attached picture). If it comes up with any error messages, make sure your antivirus/firewall isn't blocking it.
5. Launch your HiSuite Desktop Client again, connect your P40P and click on the Software Update option after which it will detect .148 or the build you pointed the HiSuite proxy to. Keep your HiSuite proxy app open in the background throughout the update process!
6. That's it, all done! It's worth wiping the cache partition too in Android recovery mode if you'd like as that's what I like to do every time there's a large update.
I hope this helps you all and good luck!!! :good::highfive:

One question. I downgraded my firmware to 131 to be able to install the google services. Now regulary update to the recent firmware (automatic updates through phone) doesn´t seem to work.

firmware finder not working

Hi guys, about half a year ago, i managed to get google on my phone with the googlefier (or smth similar) method. Its now been 6 months that i havent updated my phone and i think its needed.
My phone by itself doesnt recognise it needs to be updated. So within the phone settings, thats not working. I have to do it via HiSuite and Firmware Finder.
But now the issue is that every update i wanna check on FF, its telling me that it got deleted and is therefore unavailable... I thought to look on the official website of FF to download the newest version but apparently i have the newest version (it didnt get updated for a long time).
So now im quite lost because i really need the phone app to work to see if the update is even viable. I dont want to end up downloading firmware to then read its no good for my phone.
So, what can i do now? Anyone got some ideas?
Thanks!

I'm sort of having the same issue with my phone. A few months ago I was able to downgrade my software to install GMS. It worked and everything ran smoothly.
I got a security warning from Gmail and had to change my password. Since then, GMS stopped working.
I've tried downgrading my firmware once again but every firmware file on firmware finder says "the firmware was deleted from the server" .
I'm currently searching for firmware version ELS-LGRP6-OVS 10.1.0.132

I couldn't find the firmware for my device either, but by googling for my Huawei mate 10 pro build number and emui version : firmware "BLA-L29C185" "9.1.0.341" i found the exact firmware image on Ministry Of Solutions
You can probably find it online as well since Firmware Finder didn't work for me either
