H81120v - anybody else get this just now?

Did a clean flash of 20r about an hour ago, was in the middle of setting things up when I get the popup about a new update, roughly 164MB in size so I figured what the hell why not (I've got the bootloader unlocked on my H811). Went through the download/reboot/install (took about 3 minutes) and upon getting back into the normal state of the device I took a peek at the software info (pic attached) and note the radio version has changed somewhat and the security patch is now for April 1 2017. No idea what else has been added or changed but the size of the update at about 164MB stood out a bit, will try and find out more info as I'm able.
Of course T-Mobile's support site still only has info for 20r as the last available update but that's not really a big surprise I suppose.
EDIT:
Looked at the VersionInfo data just to see if the anti-rollback had changed but my H811 always shows "Non-fusing device" and I still can't get any accurate info about what that means precisely but anyway, added two pics for the info I'm seeing.

Same here. Waiting for the debloated rom version of this update.....

yup, just saw after a cache and dalvik wipe on reboot.

If you take the OTA update on a rooted device with TWRP (running stock 20r), does it succeed and merely un-root the device, which can then be re-rooted by flashing SuperSu?

pretty sure you'd have to go back to OEM 1st and then root again. But I'd think the root may not keep the 20v.
Better to wait, as above, for a debloated rom version.

Rooted 20v kdz now available
User kevp75 has kindly created a kdz of 20v. There is a download link in this post.

Use LGUP in *upgrade* mode to keep apps and data. You will need to use ADB to re-install TWRP and flash SuperSu. xPosed also need to be reinstalled after an upgrade.
But all in all, pretty painless.
As of 5-17 there is a rooted zip of 20v:

[Q] How to debrand P9 when already on Nougat (B361)?

I'm on EVA-L09C09 and would like to go to L09C432 so I can use the RROS ROM. Is it possible to debrand it without downgrading to 6.x? (I have an unlocked bootloader)
Thank you!

I was with a situation very similar and did it.
I was on EVA-L09C02B345 and debranded to EVA-L09C432B383 to test OTA Updates and received the EVA-L09C432B386 correctly via System Update and applied it successfully.
The process was not very clean I was with the same problem all tutorials are for android 6.x and none for 7.x, but I risked to follow this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/vdo-guide-how-to-debrand-huawei-phone-t3410045
Of course before, I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted, with help of latest topics about the subject, but you already have this.
Now, the problem on that tutorial was after applying the oeminfo and custombin of C432 the phone needs reboot and it was supposed to reboot and do some more actions on the system but when you reboot it enters in a bootloop that sent me to erecovery... At this point I had another problem, because after this I tried to put with dload an original C02 rom and give up, but the original rom on FF available for C02 was from a test branch(I didn't kown) and it didn't have updates and some other things, at this point I din't have updates to receive the latest C02 rom and had to try again for the C432 so I unlocked again and put TWRP and as a desperate measure I installed via TWRP the zip files of C432B383 and despite my beliefs it didn't gave any error, after reboot It booted correctly and phone info was already EVA-L09C432B383 and all working. At fist the OTA update to B386 didn't apear but after a factory data reset it appeared right after initial setup and wifi configuration, downloaded full update and applied successfully.
This was my story, after this I am with the idea that after the problem of oeminfo and custombin I should have gone to TWRP and flash the C432 rom and everything would be ok but I'm not sure if the "test" rom influenced anything on the process...
Hope it helps...

So did it go out of the bootloop after re-unlocking?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After re-unlock I didn't followed the tutorial I just unlocked bootloader then installed TWRP and on TWRP installed the zip files of the EVA-L09C432B383 firmware.
I assume that the oeminfo and custombin from the tutorial was still in place because I ended up with a L09C432 and not with a crossflashed L09B900, so probably you can't skip the bootloop, but I'm not sure I'm no expert I just risked and got lucky I guess!
It would be nice If someone who really understand this procedure, to tell us what's the appropriate procedure to do this without problems and bootloops...
If you're willing to risk my recipe is this:
1 - unlock bootloader (you already have this)
2 - install twrp (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703)
3 - root (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258)
4 - follow tutorial until reboot after apply C432 oeminfo and custombin (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/vdo-guide-how-to-debrand-huawei-phone-t3410045)
5 - when the phone boot to e-recovery, don't do anything just reboot it to TWRP
6 - on TWRP install the zip files of EVA-L09C432B386 previously saved on the sdcard
If step 5 and 6 fail try to flash the EVA-L09C432B386 via dload folder on sdcard. If this fails too I don't really know what I did more to solve the problem because at that point I was a bit scared and trying everything...
Don't forget before you do anything make sure you have your original firmware available don't do like me that only had a old test keys firmware available, and do a full nandroid backup on TWRP so you have more options to revert back!!!
Probably it's best to way for a more expert opinion/tutorial...

Thanks, but sounds way too risky, I think I'll wait for a more proper method.

Sorry for bumping, but has anyone found out a solution?
I and mfPPC can't be the only ones with this problem, surely. :/

What is the purpose of each of the 3 different update zip files ?

Hi,
Sorry of this is a bit of a newbie question but:
What is the purpose of each of the 3 different update zip files ?
And do I have to apply them all - and in what order ?
In my case, I am about to update to B389, and I have downloaded 3 files for VIE-L29C636B389 (currently on VIE-L29C636B130), and I have an update.zip, an update_full_VIE-L29_hw_spcseas.zip and an update_data_full_public.zip.
I was planning on doing the first two by the dload method (with reboots in between), but the update_data_full_public.zip doesn't appear to have an update.app, so how do I load that ? (I do have TWRP on my phone, so could probably figure it out - eventually).
Cheers,
SZ

same question
I read somewhere that it should be flashed in that exact order. i'm guessing that is the same procedure as with auto OTA updates, except now we have rooted phones, so bye-bye to auto updates. I am currently on VIE-L29CB636B387 and i received an automatic Huawei notification of a new version (VIE-L29CB636B388) about a week ago. I tried to update to that version in System Update-Quick Update, but that didn't work (surprise!). There was no issue though as when I rebooted it just went back to 387. However, I now have a red "New Version" notification in my System Update. Please tell me how your upgrade went if you went ahead and flashed 389. I have the three files already from filefinder, i also have TWRP and/or I could use adb fastboot to install. Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I am not sure I want to proceed on the basis of something that somebody 'read somewhere' ....
Anyhow - I've not run these updates yet, as I wanted to backup my phone first, but TWRP keeps blowing up with an error in the middle of the backup, so I am not going to try anything until I get to the bottom of that.
Will let you know if/when I ever go ahead!
Cheers,
SZ

Hi,
TWRP blowing up during NAND backups? thats not a good thing. Upon the advice of a forum member (xzanium) I flashed TWRP 3.1.1-1 instead of TWRP-3.2.1-0-vienna. No hitches so far, solid backups and no hiccups in flashing SuperSU, also got xposed to work seamlessly and other stuff. I hope you are able to resolve the issue you mentioned and get around to getting VIE-L29CB636B389 on your phone.
Well good luck to you, and post here any progress if you would.

SZ,
I have an idea on what the purpose of each of the 3 different update zip files are for and whether you have to apply them all - and in what order.
Since I could make a NAND backup using TWRP without issues, and there was an OTA update notice for an upgrade to VIE-L29CB636B388 which I couldn't upgrade to while rooted, I decided to unroot in order to upgrade to that. First i did the requisite steps - uninstalled the xposed framework and proceeded with the full unroot with SuperSU. Then I performed the dload method to flash the update.app that I extracted from the update.zip.
It was here where i hit a snag. What followed was, I found out that Huawei needs a verified stock rom, meaning it has to be a fullOTA-MF-PV in order that the bootloader could be relocked. So I tried my luck and downloaded the stock ROM VIE-L29C636B370 and flashed that. Success! From there, and several auto upgrades later I was back to L29C636B370. Reinstalling my Google account also locked back FRP. At this point i am full stock EMUI 5
Now, to answer your question. When I tried to upgrade to VIE-L29C636B388 via system update quick update. I only saw one file - update.zip therefore this must the only one needed for incremental patches. The same holds true with update_data_full_public.zip as I later learned when I decided to use the proxy upgrade method in MT filefinder . It applied a 2nd patch. The third file, namely, update_full_VIE-L29_hw_spcseas.zip was not required for this incremental update. In fact, the update process was cut short and an error message appeared that the file could not be located, even though i copied that to the HwOUC folder. It appears that this was deleted before the fullOTA update could finish during the incremental update process. Clearly, this last zip is not necessary for incremental updates. So this must be the package which delivers the rest of the ROM, or the parts of it that needs to be changed.
So, obviously what "I read somewhere" was legit. I hope that answers your question.
cheers!

Huawei P9 (EVA-L09) firmware finder problem

Hi, I've got problem with my huawei p9
I really wanted an update to a newer build, so i used firmware finder using app proxy to download it before it will show in system updater. Installation went fine but after all i noticed two things: gps is not working - it shows place where i was two weeks ago as my current location and apps from google play to repair this aren't working - and the second problem is my build number. Instead of EVA-L09C150B385 which this update supposed to bring, it is NRD90M test-keys
And my question is that: Is it possible to reverse the update? And if not is it possible to somehow easily flash stock rom to this phone. The device has stock recovery, locked bootloader and was never rooted (and if possible I would rather prefer to keep it in that state)
I've heard about some method using the sdcard but at the moment i don't have big enough at home, so is there any other way?
Previously I was using LG smartphone and it could easily be fixed using LG flash tool
Is there some kind of similar app for huawei?
I know that google isn't biting and that there were similar threads before, but neither one of them really answers my questions and most of them are more about devices with custom recovery or/and root

I would suggest following the debranding method with downgrading to old Android and then install newer version on top.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
You will need the bootloader unlock code.
Of course because of unlocking the bootloader, your device will be wiped so make sure you will have a backup of your data

As @edmun says above, I'd rebrand your phone and then update from there. You must get an SD dude, I can't do without mine.
Once rebranded, use the following tool (all instructions are there) to get to the latest version. I got stuck on NDR test keys at the weekend and used this tool to roll-back and update.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
You can always relock your bootloader and remove root once you've finished.

As far as I remember, if you will follow the "debranding" manual, at the end you will have bootloader locked.
The debranding method does not root the phone, so no need to "un-root" afterwards.
In my opinion, that is the easiest and cleanest way to restore the phone to a clean genuine software
What Newkeebrown suggested is to rebrand the phone to P9 China which will allow you to install Android 8.0 (Oreo).
Unfortunately, at this moment, I can't confirm whether it is a good idea as I am quite too busy to test this method (it would involve of course backup and restore which takes around half a day for me)

Kinda suggesting rebranding to L09C432 because there's more support on here for that version. But yes, definitely gives you the option to jump up to Oreo if you wish. I'm lucky, no backing up for me as all I need is my contacts, synced to Google. I always start fresh after flashing

Update Honor 9 lite LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100 (C675) by OTA Possible or NO ?

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
