Very very noob question...

Hey guys
Just one, very noob question.. I'm new in Huawei and got stuck on B170 firmware, when B180 update is currently available.
I'd like to update it via this programm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/huawei-p9-p9-plus-firmware-updater-t3435873
And... I don't know what is what :E
So... my compilation number is EVA-L09C432B170 and now:
EVA-L09 is a hardware number like D6503?
C432 is customization like CE1 in Sony?
B170 is firmware version like 23.1.A.1.28?
Am I right? If so, do I have to choose in this program EVA-L09 C432 B180?

Download the B180 update put the UPDATE.APP on the internal storage in the dload folder turn off phone and hold the update button combination this is the easiest way!
EVA-L09 = Model number
C432 = Country (custom package code)
B180 = Firmware version
So basicly yes your right!

No if you have the EVA-L09 C432 model download that update file if you have another model number download that update file.
Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button together to get in upgrade mode.

Hello fellow P9 owners, I do have a EVA-L19-C185, may I use another customisation firmware? Or I MUST use one with EXACT "L19" an "C185" codes?
Thank you very much!

Just for the record, the tool you mentioned is used in conjunction with HiSuite. Basically it forces HiSuite to update your phone even if there wasn't any update available for your phone (Firmware gets downloaded from different servers as stated in the thread so as usual there is some risk involved I guess).
You connect the P9 to your PC and open up HiSuite, then you open the updater tool and select your firmware. In the HiSuite settings you have to change to proxy settings to those given by the updater tool. And finally you just use the HiSuite system update button. Then it will go and download and install the firmware you've selected in the update tool.
Didn't even erase my data when I upgraded from B166 to 180 this way. Just had to flash custom recovery/root/xposed again and I was good to go.

"Software Install Failed" When updating P9 Plus to L29C636B362

Hello!
I have a P9 Plus that I wish to update from Marshmallow (L29C636B170) to Nougat (L29C636B362), but I am unable to because I keep on getting this message when I try to update...
http://i.imgur.com/2m7sV4I.jpg
"Software Install Failed!
Failed to check the update package.
Please download the package again".
I have tried using different firmware versions like B320 but the same error appears.
This phone used to have a custom TWRP recovery, but was returned to stock, and I fully unrooted my phone. I then use the Huawei Updater to send the package to HiSuite and find the firmware using Firmware Finder. I still have an unlocked bootloader however. Am I missing anything?
Cheers,

Try relock the bootloader.

How do I relock the bootloader? I tried using fastboot oem lock to relock but it says that the command isnt allowed.

just simply force update dload of update.app if you are in B170 then use update.app of B170 and force dload by push 3 button same time

Okay, it seems I have solved this question with the help of Mostar088 and itongx. Special thanks to them!
The first problem was that the firmware I had was to old to update to Nougat. I had to install L29C636B202 using HiSuite. This updates the firmware to B202. Updating to B202 makes it capable of upgrading to Nougat. So, I then install L29C636B370 to my phone using HiSuite and Huawei Updater. So far, I'm loving the update and none of my files were deleted, however, this doesn't mean you shouldn't back up.
Cheers.

Did u download and install or use proxy settings in Firmware Finder to upgrade?
Try relock the bootloader again. And then try upgrade.

Cheers,
i don't know why but i downloaded an other update file an could update with dload. I don't really know what i've done wrong the times before but it's fine. Doesn't matter i'm now on C436B360360, thanks for your help.
The story behind:
The strangest thing was that after unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP and root i've changed zhe OEM-Info with SRK-Tool. After that my phone startet factory reset, which FAILED. The phone booted and a bit from the brand-stuff (Vodafone "START" app) was there.... Then the hole s*** started..........

downgrade?

Hi guys
Someone has succeeded with downgrade from oreo to nougat ? I need go to huawei service, to exchange the display, but problem is "relocked bootloader"
So many tutorials here, which to follow for downgrade and have "locked bootloader" ?

You can use HiSuite or install the downgrade firmware through Firmware Finder. It has the normal Nougat version, but in the description it tells that it downgrades.

HiSuite tells me that I have the latest version so.. I cant downgrade from HiSuite, or if i can tell me how to do it please

@yungshadow
As M1chiel said, try with Firmware Finder.
Remember!! Everything is on your own risk!!
Don't know which version you have, but for me this is the roll back firmware...

Let's try. But.. still 0%

If you use proxy option, you have to set proxy in WiFi settings.
localhost and 8080
Then start download and wait until 4-5%, then disable proxy and continue download.

i'm using DNS. Now 11% XD

ok i'm finally have emui 5. Now i must rebrand ?

That I don't know, I already didn't understand why you wanted to downgrade ??

Can't do anything with this trash device, even TWRP fails to install. What a waste of money!

I need to have bootloader status "locked" not "relocked" so i must rebrand to l09 and back to l29 yeah?

Ok guys
I Found a solution.
1. Downgrade from Oreo via FF using B185 (downgrade firmware) thanks
djg269 said:
2. Download some L09 firmware and install via FF
3. After installing I had bootloop (huawei logo, booting system for 10-15 sec and still restarting)
4. Enter eRecovery VOL-UP + POWER > Wipe data and cache
5. After Wipe phone said it's still L29 but now bootloader is locked not relocked
So i'm done now

Glad you got it fixed!!

I have a small question - in FF it says to make sure my current version is not "unlocked" - does that mean the bootloader or...? I just want to downgrade to B180 so I can install HuShed. I'm on L29C432B360 currently.

I don't remember this information. Could u send here Screenshoot with that dialog from FF ?

Same screenshot as post #4 -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76556011&postcount=4

I used b185 from b360 with unlocked bootloader and I had no problems.
You should use b185(rollback firmware) and after this will be able toinstall whatever you want

Alright, last question - I have TWRP installed for 8.0. Will this affect the downgrade somehow? Because for example I can't install OTAs with TWRP. I'm sorry I'm kinda new to these kinds of stuff.

I didn't have installed twrp for 8.0 when i Decided to do downgrade so I think it doesn't matter but you can flash stock recovery for 8.0 if u want ofc.
Now i'm on 8.0.0.365(c432) but with official OTA update

Update EVA-L09C900B182

I have a Huawei P9 that doesn't seem to receive updates.
EMUI 4.1.1
Build: EVA-L09C900B182
Andriod: 6.0
I have tried using firmware finder but I always get checksum failed before it passes 1%.
I had a look through the Forums and it seems that people recommend rebranding though that was in 2017.
I was wondering if there is any easy way to update?
I am a noob so i want to try avoid rooting and rebranding if possible.

Has anyone managed to update this?
2 years later and I'm still trying...

For c900 there is no newer firmware.
Flashing anything else than c900 means rebranding - but rebranding requires unlocking Bootloader (not 'rooting')
So wandering, what are you really trying to do for two years?!
- Unlock Bootloader (4 Euros):
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/
- Rebrand properly to be able to update to Nougat eg EVA-L09c432b504:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2

I followed that guide but now my phone is stuck on "Type the password to decrypt storage" when I enter my Google password it says it's correct but data on my phone is corrupted. Any ideas?

Are you talking about TWRP asking for pass or Android?
If Android, on which firmware are you, what was the last step you performed?
Also, make sure you used TWRP for MM, not for Nougat - since you were on c900 MM when you started with rebranding to c432 (?)
Btw, you unlocked the Bootloader?

Thanks for the quick response and all your assistance. I managed to finally boot into EVA-L09C432B182 and will write what I did in the rebranding post for others who run into this issue. I still have no updates on L09C432B182 though.

For OTA you must have a valid SIM card and WiFi - check manually to the System Update to trigger checking for an update
You can also try with HiSuite (PC) - latest versions of HiSuite have an option at the bottom to update the firmware
See:
https://huaweiflash.com/how-to-flash-huawei-stock-firmware-all-methods/
You can also update by DLOAD (read the guide above), you must download FullOTA-MF-PV (must be PV), like b360, from Firmware Finder
There is also HWOTA method, see:
