Updating Huawei P7
Hello everyone, so i have this version: P7- L10V100R001C150B132
I had one small update, around 150 mb and thats all. Can I update without factory reset, just to update on 5.1.1? or I need to wait until they roll out for this version lollipop?
Can someone explain me how to do it, and what to do, because i never did it on huawei :/

i have a p7 and i uploaded it 2 months ago with wireless automatically to B158 now i cant upload the phone to IMUI 3 or lollipop manually nor i can downgrade to B133 and I'm stuck. the update fails every time after sayin factory resizing. pls help!!
I've just rolled back to B182 and would like to update to EMUI 5 B378 which I was on before.
I have firmware finder and know how to use the proxy settings etc, I just don't know which one to choose in order to safely update, (I tried B361 using the proxy method but the update failed).
The Huawei updater says I'm on the newest version, if I need to dload B361 which one do I use? update.zip, update_full or update_full_public?
Thanks
You do it incrementally if you want to be safe. Proxy method requires you to use the older hisuite software and not the latest one.

The next one up (in FirmwareFinder) is B360 but the fullOTA just fails to install both with the dialpad software update and dload method, same issue with B361
Try B383. I had the same issue, and it B383 worked for me.

Thanks for the replies
I've just tried 383 and it gets to 14% and then fails , I emailed huawei who said "wipe your cache partition and factory reset" which did nothing and I contacted huawei livechat through the hicare app who said "you just have to wait for OTA updates, cause they're rolled out in batches".
I have a feeling that I'm going to be stuck with marshmallow (which I can deal with I guess), as nothing seems to want to work for me it's a strange and fickle world for Huawei updates it seems, what works for some doesn't for others

It's strange. Once I got to C432 through rebranding I had to reboot and factory reset several times and try all different versions of Nougat until I finally got it working.
Huawei EVA-L09 P9 No Update to Android 7 Nougat or EMUI 5 ? EMUI 4.1.1 "No Updates"
I just purchased a P9 and its still on Android 6 Marsh mellow.
The current version its on is EVA-L09C432B182 ?
I just got the phone off eBay with a cracked screen with the intention of refitting a new screen and using this phone. I have done a factory reset on the phone and the phone did two updates, one was 500mb and the other around 1.8GB...
The phone is unlocked as my ID sim card works on it. Is there anything I can check to help the phone do the update to version 7 ? Do I need to sign into Google ?
Sorry I'm new to the Android platform. Thanks, Ken.
Found this info thanks to: TheRealMoses...
Finally found a method that worked! EVA-L09c432b182 -> 360
Hey guys/girls,
I have a Huawei P9 Eva-L09c432b182. Spent hours trying different methods on updating to Nougat to have the following method work.
1. Download Firmware Finder from the Android Google Play Store.
2. Set up WiFi connection with proxy (as per Firmware Finder instructions)
3. Selected the EVA-L09C432B378 Full OTA -MF-PV 71496
4. Went to "Update" in the settings,
5. Pressed back after new update package had been found and selected Download Latest Full Package.
6. Download completed, installed and optimized.
7. New Version = Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 EVA-L09C432B378 - haven't found anything wrong / broken but will update if I find anything.
Hope this can help someone.
I then used this video to help understand the process but I am not allowed to post a video link, but the video title is "Firmware Finder tutorial (Huawei firmware update)" posted under the YouTube channel "Huawei Device" (Published on Feb 6, 2018)
Phone is now downloading EVA-L09C432B378 Full OTA -MF-PV 71496 at 2.27GB will report back the results of this. I'm in the UK and I suspect the phone although unlocked sold from EE/Three network store who are not allowing phones to update !
Update to Android 7 was a success very happy but still its annoying that these phones get stuck on older versions...

Where did you find the B378 full ota mf pv version? Can you send it to me?
Hi,
I just switched from Apple to Android two days ago and don't know a whole lot about Android yet. I just got my brand new Huawei P20 Pro all set up yesterday and this morning when it went out of battery for the first time I naturally plugged it in to the charger. When I started it back up it went to the Huawei EMUI erecovery screen where it told me that something went wrong and I had a few options:
- Factory reset (recommended)
- Download new version and recovery
- Reboot
- Shutdown
I tried "Download new version and recovery" first and the package was successfully downloaded but when the phone had to restart it went back to the previously mentioned screen. I tried this a couple of times with the same result. After that I tried Reboot and Shutdown (trying to avoid having to factory reset) but it went back to the same screen again. Eventually I gave in and factory reset everything and it seems to have solved the issue but my phone still wants me to update EMUI and now I am afraid that it will do the exact same again. Does anyone in here know anything about this? Is it the new update or am I doing something wrong? How can I update without running into the same problem again?
My current EMUI version is 8.1.0
Thank you for your help.
8.1.0 is the latest emui, as far as I know. If it tries to update emui, you probably should do it because the Android 9 has already been released for P20 pro. If it's not Android and emui it is trying to update, probably it's a new build number. The latest is 156 c432 patch 03 with gpu turbo. Either way, you should update.

I tried to update it and it went through fine so it's all good now. I still don't know what happened the first time but I am hoping it won't happen again. Thank you for your reply.
Hello pipul I stoicly still run with a Huawei P7 Ascend (series number: P7-L10V100R001C00B623. andoid version: 4.4.2. Emui version:3).. Today Whats App is not working anymore and cannot update it because "your device is not compatible". A cold wake-up. I red online tha whatsapp don't work anymore with olld version of Android, I would like to try to upgrade to Android 5. I saw online that this update is even officilaly possible, as already in 2015 Huawei was rolling out the update directly to phone's updater. Unfortunately in my updater there are no new update one can install. But I see in the updater in settings that there's option to install "locally", with update being placed in the sd card. I'd like to ask you guys the best way for me to install the (official) version of Android 5 for this device, where I can find the software, if there's a particular guide etc. (ps. I ask you also the noob question, that if I need to backup my data priorly as they might be lost in the process, and what are the best app for the P7 to do the full backup). Thank you so much for the help you can give me !!
