Pls help me understand firmware update possibilities - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am reasonably computer literate, but almost new to Android, ROMs, rooting etc.
I live in Australia and have a new P9 bought in an online shop in HK. (You can only buy grey P9's in AU, I wanted silver.)
My P9 is EVA - L19 C636 B150 . I understand what all this means, I've done a couple of day's reading on this forum.
The phone is unlocked, and seems to accept my temporary Kogan SIM all right. But I remember seeing somewhere the word "Vodafone" when I was exploring. I can't find it anymore.
I would like to know if I can expect to receive automatic updates from anywhere. I will not be using Vodafone SIM.
I have read somewhere on this forum that there already is firmware B168 and B170 for L19 C636. When I try Settings/Update/Check for Update there is no update.
If I eventually decide not to wait for automatic update and do it manually, do I have to update first to B168 and then to B170?
I have read about two methods of updating -
1. downloading the update file, pasting it to SD card dload folder, pressing the three keys for 8 seconds, etc. For this method I do not know where to get the update files from.
2. using the Huawei Updater utility available from this forum. I don't understand this process, changing proxy IP address, etc.
Could somebody please explain or point me in the right direction. Thanks

EVA-L19C636B168

EVA-L19C636B170
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1079/g104/v57467/f1/full/update.zip
Here are download to the latest firmwares, u can jump to B170 from B150.
I Think that the latest OTA to L19C636 is B150, these firmwares are direct from the Huawei database.
The easy whay to upgrade manually is:
1. Download B170 update.zip and extract it to desktop.
2. Create a folder on your sd card and name it dload
3. Put the file from the firmware u extracted called update.app in the folder u created on sd card called dload.
4. Open dailpad and type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose option 4 and update.

Thanks very much, Mostar088.
I assume that the SD card can have other stuff on it. Or does it have to be empty?

You can have other stuff on SD Card. No problem.

OK, I have downloaded and unzipped the package. The update.app is there all right, - almost 3GB - that does not sound like an update in Windows terminology - is it a complete replacement of the original firmware?
I did not find any description of the changes covered by the update. Is it possible to find out somewhere?
One general question - on this forum, is "firmware " exactly the same as "ROM" ?
thanks

Thanks again. The B170 update doesn't seem to do much for me. Could you please post the link for B168 - maybe there is something more important in that update.
Is there any system in these updates? Why do they jump from B150 to B168 to B170?

All the changes made in B168 are put in B170 to, so it's best to flash B170. Why they jump build nr like that i dont know.

I'm new to Huawei. I've recently got myself a P9, supplied by EE in the UK. I'm on C440B138 build. Trying to work out how the firmware versions work, coming from using a Galaxy Note 4 its a little confusing. My phone has no network (EE) branding but in using this build am I locked to EE, can I not manually update? Could someone point me in the right direction as pages like this .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586 ... seem very overwhelming with firmwares. This build I am using has a security patch level of June 2016. I'm not overly interested in N, it'll eventually roll out but I'd quite like to be a little more up-to-date. Apologies for having to ask, I have looked but I can't find a definitive answer to my question(s). Many thanks in advance.

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.

Firmware changed to C900 ?

Hello.
I have a P9 Plus with the firmware VIE-L29C636B130. I tried to upgrade using Firmware Finder and Proxy to VIE-L29C636B202. After updating, the phone restarted and installed the update.
But, my firmware changed to VIE-L29C900B202. I can no longer see any further updates from firmware finder.
How do I upgrade to Nougat?
Any help is appreciated. :crying:

It shows you mistakenly flash a firmware from another region (cross flashing).
Just dload from you SD card, version C636B103, then you can dload either C636B180 or C636B202 later.
From C636B202, you can move to Nougat C636B362
B103 seem scarce, take it from here; https://mega.nz/#!W88SmSSa!Atlsa9G6aWcUK37KKqkLB-gz7VllP5IpyXT75k-4e5Q

Nor receiving updates anymore

I have been using firmware finder to update my PRA-LX1. Now as I can see I don't receive any official updares. I'm stuck at security patch June. Even though July update is available when I check for updates in System Update it sais 'No updates'.
Any solutions?

I guess you are on Oreo.
Go to the firmware finder and find the list of firmwares and which correspond to the July security update,and check if it is approved for installation,if it is then go ahead and press update through VPN and follow the instructions.
Choose OTA not FullOTA if you are on Oreo,since it also took me a while to get the update.

I have tried different types of the Dload method but no one ses to work. I tried something from the WAS-LX1 SD CARD UPDATE GUIDELINE but using an update for this phone. Well, even if that update is available for update, with the dload method it says that 'The update package is not compatible with the current version. Please download the right package and try again." And I have tried that with about 10 other updates witch were available in firmware finder.. but I got the same results.
It seems that no method of updating is working for me right now... Or maybe I am doing the dload method wrongly.
I can't find specific stept for the dload method on the forums. On some of them is even said that dload method doesn't work on this phone all together.

Hmm,well as a last resort try to use dload with a service firmware.
I am sending you links for PRA-L31,the one I have,and you can check if you have that one by going into the engineering menu,and you do that by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info.
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is for the July security patch firmware (aka the newest one),but it will take 8 hours to download,at least it took that time for me
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is for the firmware you are probably running right now
All of these links are from 4PDA forums.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=809771&view=findpost&p=65929494 - here you can find instructions on how to do it,if you don't understand them basically you need to firstly apply the UPDATE.APP from the first update_sd.zip you find in the dload folder,and then do the vendor UPDATE.APP which you can find in the PRA-L31 folder.
I am sorry if you cannot completely understand what am I saying,I am typing this in a bit of a rush so...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This actually helped me restore my phone to normal. I installed the B363 version from the MEGA link ( I had B360 installed. my mistake was that I initially installed the wrong version with firmware finder, B360 instead of B363). But once I installed the B360 I got a notification to update to B369.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you for this simple and useful guide. :good:
I was able to successfully update back to stock using Normal upgrade *#*#2846579#*#* dload method (not force with 3 buttons) and service firmware 8.0.0.363(C432). After that, got OTA for 8.0.0.369.. Everything went fine, except device name changed automatically to P9 lite 2017
Is this okay?? The same happens with service firmware you mentioned 8.0.0.369(C432)...
Beside that, Power+Vol+ gives me no more eRecovery, just EMUI with options to wipe data or reboot..

Yeah that is good,since this is a firmware which was released around Croatia,Albania,Czech Republic and etc,but there it is called P9 Lite 2017 instead of P8 Lite 2017 so it is no problem.
And I believe you enter eRecovery by holding Volume Up while plugging in your phone to a charger or USB port on a computer,at least that is how I did it before on Nougat,haven't touched any recoveries I fixed my phone with DC Phoenix.

Need to return P9 back to L09C432B504 from c900b300

Hello everyone !
I had a battery drain issue so I wanted to try and change the software before resorting to a battery change, but now my phone is stuck at L09 C900B300 build and it used to be factory L09C432B504. I tried downloading the full package for 501 but the phone does not want to install it as it was "invalid".
Any ideas how I can force the b501 update on the phone ? It's hard to use ADB since the USB-C port on the phone is very worn out and it only maintains data-transfer in a certain position, if it gets shifted even a little bit it breaks the connection.
Thanks in advance !

You did a rollback and you cannot instal Nougat directly back
You must install c432b182 Marshmallow and then let it update by OTAs (with SIM card) to b50x
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73131443&postcount=321
Steps 4-9 apply to you (since you are already on c900b300)

Don't know what does it mean to you that you changed the software
If you rebranded from c432 to another cust, then you must also rebrand back to c432 by flashing its OEMINFO:

NOTE: Just saw you previously asked questions about P9 Lite
Pls be aware, this is Huawei P9 subforum, not for P9 Lite (different hardware, different firmwares)
The answer above with links/guides applies to P9, not to P9 Lite
If your question was for P9 Lite, please better search and ask on XDA P9 Lite subforum
Hey !
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried to follow the steps but I need to have the bootloader unlocked and it is discontinued by huawei, and in order to get the code from DC unlocker I need to invest a certain amount of money (id rather hand the phone over to a professional service and pay them and know that I have a fixed phone).
The other issue of the phone is that I cannot open the manufacturer mode on the phone using *#*#2846579#*#* since it does nothing, and I cannot use the calculator since this software does not have a calculator, it doesn't even have a camera app....
So I have contacted huawei support in hopes of getting the bootloader code but I do not hope for too much at this point. What are my other options at this point of handling this on my own ?
Looking forward to your response !

AFAIK, 'certain amount of money' for Bootloader code from DC Unlocker is only 4 Euros
If you search on XDA (various phones, just about Bootloader unlocking) you may find more online services (several months ago I've seen in some post), but they were more expensive
IMO, you don't need unlocked Bootloader if you are just following the first link, for dload-ing c432b182 without flashing oeminfo....
Update:
Okay the b182 package does not require unlocked bootloader which is great, it took the update and started going up all the way to b395 but it stopped there, no further OTA updates... It is okay to use at this point but I'm still curious to know if there is a way to get to it to update to the b50x version. I did try to use the small update for the b501 but the phone declined it.
Still thank you very much for guiding me through this ! This is a huge weight off my shoulders !

It is okay to use at this point but I'm still curious to know if there is a way to get to it to update to the b50x version. I did try to use the small update for the b501 but the phone declined it.
Still thank you very much for guiding me through this ! This is a huge weight off my shoulders !

In Firmware Finder they have a new method based on eRecovery and changing the DNS server on your local WLAN AP
b50x must be showing as Approved to you for that method
It does not require Bootloader unlocked but no guarantee it would work (I tried with P9 rebranded to AL10 Oreo, managed to change DNS server address, eRecovery connected to but failed to update firmware that way)
There HWOTA method (in few variants) to install FullOTA-MF from Firmware Finder, but unlocked Bootloader is required

Btw, if you ever unlocked Bootloader on that phone, just use the same code again (one must save always save the code for future needs)
As of recently there are some Huawei service firmware installations available, that also install by dload (not needed to have Bootloader unlocked)

When you download, you will need to unzip
Find Docs and Software subfolders (you may need to untar and unzip Software subfolder again)
In Docs folder there must be Huawei official guide how to install, check if it describes dload method (and what must be un-archived and copied to SD card dload folder from the Software subfloder)
I didn't use it for L09c432 but I successfully unbricked a P9 rebranded to AL10c00 (back to AL10c00 firmware) by such a package, really easy by dload, just by following their HowTo doc from the Docs subfolder

P9 wifi not working after "update"

hey guys i hope you can help me with this lil problem.
I was flashing update with just fail messages so i decide to install the same (eva-l19C6005B135) BUT it was the D007 (my phone has D002) and it was ok, after the update the phone restarts but now the wifi isn't working( it does turn on but doesn't show any wifi available).
btw the phone says D002 is installed (weird) (CUSTC605D002)
everything is just working fine, i restore the net config and restarted the phone but still the same, no wifi

You mean eva-l19C6005B135 (c605), not eva-l19C6005B135 (c6005)?
Anyway, this is old Android 6 / EMUI 4, why don't you upgrade to Android 7?
If you have valid SIM card and WiFi, no OTA for update coming?
Check under Settings / System Updates.
You can also check from HiSuite if it offers you a newer version to install
Also, switch off, connect to charger, press and keep Vol+, switch on by Pow, and check from eRecovery: Download and install latest firmware and recovery, what it offers to install
You can also try to install by DLOAD, L19 c605 eg b394 - for DLOAD it must be FullOTA, MF-PV (must be PV), package number #109400, as on screenshot from Firmware Finder

the phone doesn't show any update to nougat, im stock at C605B135, but i do remember that it showed an update a while ago, but not now, weird thing.
well, if i try to install with the dload method the phone says "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package"
I tried the B380 and 397, i will try the 394 that you suggest.
thanks for the help buddy, i will update the post later with the results
PD: can i download this rom from another site or this is the only one? it always fails at 60-70% and it is really slow, 3mb download, i have 30mb

the same error... "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package" with the version that you said, i dont know what to do now
here are the steps that i did:
1-downloaded update.zip (just this file)
1.1 unzip it
2-put it on sd(dload folder)
3-enter download mode and try to install it
do i need to download the other files?
do i need to format my sd again? because it have some other files in it, but with the ota b135 it jus install it fine over and over again

Sorry, don't know the situation with c605 ROMs.
IMO, you should try to flash FullOTA-MF-PV but the MM buiild, but I cannot find by Firmware Finder any MM PV build for your c605 cust (hence I also don't know how did you flash that D007 at the first place?!)
You could also rebrand to eg c432, there are many more stock firmwares for c432 - but for rebranding you will first need to unlock Bootloader
PS: For DLOAD, you must download and put to the DLOAD folder all update* files you find for the given build, not just the first update.zip file- if you didn't do so, that was maybe the reason for your issues with WiFi

how can i unlock the BL? the only method that i think will work is send an email to huawei as a request for the code :/ or paying 20$ for chimera software and unlock it(i don't know if it will work anyway)
but for now im going to download all the files again for a second try and yes, im sure that's why my wifi if failing, i downloaded a ota (not full ota) with a different D007 (mine is D002) because there is not any MM rom for c605 just that one from firmware finder rewrite (desktop version)

Please check older threads under the same P9 Q/A subforum (and/or in the Guides subforum) where you opened your own thread - every week or so somebody asks the same questions about codes for Bootloader (just curious why nobody wants first to invest his own time to search for the answers
Not specific for P9 but same for the other Huawei/Mate models (excluding the newest models released alreadyvwith Pie)
Hint: DC Unlocker or Ministry of solutions, price is not 20 but 4 or 5 Euros

All three update*.zip files must not be unzipped, just copy them as zip files to DLOAD folder, do not create any subfolders
Do not use L09 file, just update.zip and two others with L19 and public in the name - see screenshot
Dlete DLOAD and create again, to make sure something hidden did not remain
And for Bootloader codes you have:

Of course that flashing another cust without rebranding first, bricks the phone.
I just wonder how you know now that, why you didn't take time to read or ask about in advance (and I think, in previous answers I was also writing you about)
Sorry, I'm busy and cannot help you further.
There are guides on XDA, but maybe better pay for DC-Phoenix or Ministry of solutions to unbrick the phone and to install you Nougat like c432 b504
download http://download-c1.huawei.com/downlo...52&siteCode=np
