Maybe. You can un-root and try it. If it doesn't work while stills un-rooted you can try PC Suite or LG Update Tool. If after all this doesn't work, flash it with. kdz.

Not the flash, by update only, files and apps use to remain, except those that need to be re-installed because of version compatbility (unless you're able to do "normal web upgrade" with "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe", this methode will delete everything).
But once that you'll need to root it again and after that is advisable to perform a factory reset, you'll lose all data...

1- Install "msxml" (inside KDZ_FW_UPD folder)
2- Install "Windows Enabler" (inside KDZ_FW_UPD folder)
3- Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" select model .dll, you need to select "P880_120518.dll

You only need to do that, is the concentrate tutorial
Don't forget, take out the battery to connect the phone, after the flash process start to write on the phone, put the battery on the phone.

First of all thanks to kokbiel for discovering this!
Do not try this if you have an unlocked bootloader or if you dont know what your doing! I'm not resposible if you break or brick your phone!
If you're allready on a rooted .181 or .184 and OTA update is available for you just update your firmware. If there is no OTA update available for your customazation version follow these instuctions:
- flash back to 3.0.A.2.181 generic with the flashtool
- Use Gingerbreak or Superoneclick to root your device
- Update your Arc using a OTA(over the air) update(Go to settings->About phone->Software update)
- Enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!!!
Update 1: it seems that the OTA update is not working if you did any modifications to/deleted system files so it's adviced to always flash the .181 firmware provided in this post
Update 2: if you have any battery problems after flashing the .181 firmware(if it's only showing 1%) removing the battery for a few minutes should solve this
Update 3: thanks to ricstc we now have a video tutorial on how to follow these instructions
Update 4: if you want you can keep your user data by unchecking the whipe user data in the flashtool while selecting the correct ftf file. this will cause a lot of error message's on 2.3.2 but just click them away and continue the procedure, after upgrading again to 2.3.3 the error message's will be gone!
Update 5: this methode still works with the new 4.0.A.2.368 firmware! if you don't get the OTA update with the provided .181 firmware try flashing the .184 firmware and try the OTA again
At the moment there are a lot of battery problems when you downgrade from 2.3.4 if you have any problem follow this or this thread for a possible solution
In general how long did it take for Gingerbreak / superoneclick to do its stuff.
iv been waiting about 5-10 minutes with nothing. :S

i have no choice! using GOOD for enterprise on my Arc, and it only allows usage if its on an unrooted device.
thinking of doing the root on 2.3.2 first, OTA update as you mentioned, then while still rooted, remove some of those unused SE Apps to free up ram, before unrooting and installing GOOD for enterprise.

Hey,
in latest firmware there is a update to S1Boot (to Version R10A21). I think most users who DONT USE PCC/SEUS will not have the update because Flashtool does not decrypt it correctly.
I packed it up into German Firmware, so if you are interested you can flash this Firmware and then just reflash ANY OTHER Firmware if you dont want to stay on German one. After S1Boot got updated it will stay updated no matter what Firmware you flash afterwards, becasue normally it is not included.
File can be downloaded here from my Firmware collection, directlink to Xperia T folder:
http://ul.to/f/2fvm79

Thanks for that. Do you know what's changed?
I just checked my version and it s R10A118

Hi Binary, Can I confirm that I can backup my current stock rom (7.0.A.3.195) using CWM recovery (advanced kernel v4), then flash this for S1 update, then (correct me if I am wrong please!) re-flash kernel and then restore rom via CWM: resulting in being back to my current rom but with S1 Boot update.
Also just check that I should use "Generic DE (S1Boot-Update).ftf" - is this the one you refer to in the OP.?
Thanks for your patience
I updated via PCCompanion and my boot is
R10A118
WHich "latest" version did you get the new boot from? And what is new in it?
Mine is R10A121 and it was flashed with Flashtool.

It is included inside the SEUS files for the 195 Version, but "problem" is that we need to update Flashtool so that it decrypts the File correctly. For now we only added the "alternate" decryption for Loader, now S1Boot seems to be updated too Which is quite good, maybe they add features in future like button for recovery

If you got it from PCC i dont know why you did not get it. Hope you did not understood me wrong. It is NOT implemented yet. I just hope that they WILL update is later on, with this possibility to update the S1Boot it would be possible from technical way

Yes, I understand that, Can you check this firmware. Its the .ftf I made from my PCCompanion update. I dont know where to look to check the boot.
But i do get an update when i connect to pccompanion, allthough it gives me the same FW number, i thought that was strange but maybe its the new boot.

Do your PCC Files are 3 or 4 Files? If your firmware includes the S1Boot update then it should be 4 Files!!
IT CAN BE that the branding firmwares does NOT include the S1Boot update, maybe that is the reason

ok, I only used 3 largest files. The rest were all really small files. I will download again and make a new branded one...that way we will know if branded versions have the new boot.

PCCompanion says my current version is 7.0.A.1.303, whilst my phone says I am on 7.0.A.3.195....lets see what happens

Hehe.
The S1Boot is a FILE_XXXXXXX file with approx 330kb. But as i said Flashtool cannot decrypt now, it needs manual decryption.

Check my second edit above, i do get that file now.
But guess what, (Like a noob) i forgot i cant use pccompanion anymore because of unlocked bootloader..D'oh
Anyway, any chance of instructions on how to manually decrypt it (Probably nothing simple) or if I send you the files can you incoorporate them into my .ftf so I can flash it?
I canthen also add a branded vodafobe version with the new boot to the ftf list.

I need help to find out whish version S1Boot my lt30p has.

Difficulty
Easy
Time taken
I did it in less than 10 minutes
1. Download one of the .ftf's from the OP that have the s1 boot update in title.
2. make a backup of your current rom
3. Download, install and set up flashtool. (Link in the all in one thread)
4. Drag and drop the .ftf into the open window of flashtool.
5. Tick all the boxes that say exclude except the one that says exclude uncategorized Check the attached image
6. Flash the .ftf following flashtool instructions
7. Reboot phone and check your s1 boot version, it should now be updated
8. Reboot into recovery and restore your backup.
9. You are now on the latest s1 boot with the same rom you had before.
EDIT
Alternative Method.
Flash this LT30_7.0.A.3.195_Generic DE (S1Boot-ONLY).ftf - 725.46 KB
(N.B. It is reported to relock your bootloader, just unlock it again if thats the case, info taken from this post)
I just removed all the unnecassary files from one of the .ftf's provided by Bin4ry

I installed a bad apk (rc from a developer) and now even after uninstall and clearing the data the phone keeps on stuttering and hanging, freezing, ...
I fear a factory reset won't be enough to fix this. Also to be sure I would like to do a factory format instead.
I already tried the *2767*3855# dial code, but this doesn't work for the P880.
Anyone knows how to reflash (factory format) the ROM? But from within the phone.
Preferably not by flashing the kdz files, looks to risky to me.

What is your problem @Arne_B ?
If you're having problems with some apps or settings of the latest version, its enough when you downgrade to the earlyest one and do the factory reset.
The phone will reset everything from the latest version.
After that, you can upgrade again to the latest having a clean install, the phone will overwrite the files from the earlier version.

Its very easy to flash the phone, the thread is a little confuse cause a lot of users have different problems and doubts.
The steps are easy.
Download the "kdz-update" folder from the link on that thread
Download the FW version that you want.
Install "msxml" (from the kdz-update folder)
Run and turn ON the "Windows Enabler" (from the kdz-upload folder)
Take out the battery
Press "Vol-" and while pressing connect phone to computer untill you see on the phone screen "FW update"
Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin". Settings:
"Select type">>>>>>>>>>>CDMA - SmartPhone(WM)
"Work Directory">>>>>>>> The kdz-upload folder where is better to put the kdz FW files inside
"Select model.dll">>>>>>>>Choose from the kdz-upload folder ther file "X3_2008_v0.0.6.9.dll" or "P880.dll", both of them work fine
"PhoneMode">>>>>>>>>>>EMERGENCY
"Select kdz file">>>>>>>>> Choose the V10x that you download
Click on "Start Upgrade"
The program will start with the kdz file extraction, after a few seconds you'll see on the log that it start to write on the phone, thats when you need to put back the battery on the phone.
Just need to wait about 3-5 minutes and its done :victory:
The other way is using the Official tool but latest FW for Turkey is V10C soo, its useless for you...

I did install an earlier version, cleared data and uninstalled, rebooted the phone and installed the newest Play Store version (not the rc version) again but still had the problems.
Anyways, I tried to fix it manually by first uninstalling the app again. Then went to my root explorer and search in my phone (/ folder) for files related to the app name and deleted all those. Rebooted the phone, installed the latest app version from play store and for now all works well again. But didn't test the phone completely yet.

I know, but I read somewhere that LG checks your phone when flashing the Firmware, and doing it that way they know the phone was bricked due to rooting or other 'out of warranty' things..
Or am I totally wrong on this aspect?

Flashing or rooting the phone (like we explain!!!) don't brick your phone.
Forget about what you read.
And if you have some problem and need to go to LG warranty, just need to flash the phone with the Official Tool.

And if you have some problem and need to go to LG warranty, just need to flash the phone with the Official Tool.

Plus, modifying the software doesn't void your warranty; there was some new EU ruling about that, i read it a few weeks ago. The KDZ flashing method isn't even something inofficial, as it is also used by LG. So just fix it that way.

I know. But LG can start lacking in support of they know the phone is or was rooted in the past.

Ok didn't know that.
I'll just do it that way than when the phone keeps on acting weird.
After a botched OTA update to Kitkat upon its release there was an error in the middle of the update which screwed the phone up drastically, so I found the "test version" of KitKat (N900AUCUCMLG)? and cant get to the official version N900AUCUCNC2.. I tried the update by downloading the zip and installing through safe mode but I get some kind of errors which ends up in the phone doing a clean install of the MLG firmware. any thoughts??
same here, but...
I can root and clean out the bloat ware, just can't install custom roms or make a nandroid back up, but really nuking the bloatware is a blessing in itself.

Thank you I wish I could but never get the install to go all the way, get 99% and then states cannot update the software, need NC2 install like the test install now to correct the problem.

where I get stuck is at step 4 it reads like ODIN should complete the install but never does, did not pay attention to the 95% because I never got to the Heimdal step.
Step 4:
4) Now is the time to use Heimdall.
Reboot into Download Mode once Odin finishes. (ODIN never finishes for me, it always fails at the ODIN install)
Install the vcredist packages downloaded from step 1.
unzip the heimdall .zip file to c:/
go to c:/Heimdall Suite/Drivers and click on zadig.exe
click the middle menu button to select "Show All Devices"

Jerry I wish I could, however this stock software is just not quite right, good enough to root, but not much else. Trust me, I am a happy camper to get rid of the bloat, but at the same time would like to test drive these custom roms. Going to give the MJ5 fix one more try and maybe the 3rd time is the charm.
Thanks again, would have probably blushed over Heimdall 95% comment if successful the first time.......so now ready for it.

IDEM!! COMPLETELY IDEM! I had the pra-lx1c55b105 too, and, after root, I have your same problems too! Please, someone help us!!!
nobody read the multiple thread about this problem ?
Sorry but it's really annoying. (it's not about you, nothing personnal
Your problem is related to a different version between the boot_root image and, the system partition...
You could try to update your phone to the latest firmware (so you have to configure the wifi and then check in the "about" page for an update)
If an update if available, then I think this will solve your problem.
And be very carefull, never install (apk or worse, flash a partition ) something if no version is specified
My friend had maked the update over Wi-Fi but after the download the flash in the recovery fails, why ? @ripp2003 can you link me where la located this theard ? Thanks a lot

https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-discussion/how-to-root-huawei-p8-lite-2017-android-t3582179
But this topic is related to PR1-LX1C432B110 and this is the source of newesc.... (this topic got a lot of informations on how to find your firmware)
So right now, you need the exact version of the firmware : I think it's pra-lx1c55b105
-> Find it and download it with Huawei Firmware Finder
-> Extract the boot.img from the firmware with Huawei Firmware Extractor (or maybe you've done a copy before flash the boot_root.img ?)
-> fastboot flash boot boot.img
You 'll lost root but this way, I think you can recover your phone
If this doesnt work, I'm really sorry but, you have to wait for some developpers to make Rom....or, some special things for recover an official firmware.
I'm sorry, this situation is a bullsh**
Really Good luck
@ripp2003 thanks a lot, i had tell this to my friend and Now He try

The problem is to find it... On the internet I can't find anything, and on firmware finder too. I need the stock PRA-LX1C55B105 firmware (especially the boot.img) but the problem is to find it. I can't find it anywhere!!!
Please help
I Think what firmware finder isn't really good, someone know another method to download firmware or part of firmware like the boot.img?

-------------------------------------
Can you tell me what you did? You flashed the entire zip, or only the boot.img? And how? With twrp right?
Yes everything works. I did factory reset and the phone is back to default.
I extracted BOOT image and RECOVERY image with HuaweiUpdateExtractor.
After that with I copied both BOOT and RECOVERY image in Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
At last I've connected the phone to PC and flashed BOOT and RECOVERY image.
I've disconnected the phone booted in recovery did factory reset and after that phone booted normally.
