This was posted just now in my thread and is currently downloading an OTA update. I think it deserves its own thread and thanks.
"how to
In Europe, try this :
Open Hicare, update Hicare, agree to terms of system update, download and update to b370 or b 371."
Its a 1.99GB file so presumably complete with data as well
Is your phone a single sim or dual sim? Exact version of firmware?
My phone is twin sim and was C432B160. Can confirm that download complete, reboot and after about 10 seconds of 0% and verify has moved to 62% and verifies again, holds for about 45 seconds and says installing but stays on 62% till it jumps to 98% and then report success. Now rebooted and optimising. More to follow
Confirm success and no data loss. Just going through apps to check. Cannot give enough credit to Prem222 for finding this method.
Dual sim still active
Good! Is the firmware version B370 or B371?
I installed this update without problems, but now bluetooth does not work anymore, I can't even activate it. Does anyone else have this issue?
Its 370
Bluetooth is working.
No updates available.
Some details:
worked for VNS-L31C432B160 > VNS-L31C432B370, (dual sim).
Took a while.
As for 1,5 hour of using everything seems to be working.
Bluetooth - calls and sending attachment ok.
Both sims ok.
Calls ok.
Camera, flash etc ok.
Huawei share works ok.
In the phone manager there is a virus scan ( by Avast).
Thanks goes to SirBeherit from forum.android.com.pl

I have no keyboard (i tried to factory reset but it fail) , what should i do?
Before using this method i installed stock rom so i was unrooted and i had locked bootloader...i can't understand why it happened...
The update size was like 1.25 gb.
I have mm b161 with root and recovery twrp. What should i do to update to nougat 371?
Nope, no updates available (C432, Austria). April fool's?
When I flashed back to 161 from 360, I didn't get the OTA update as well, so I just downloaded the required files and flashed it myself via TWRP (because dload wouldn't accept the files for diff version?). Works well, better than B360.
Here are the versions:
B370 - for VNS-L31C432.
B371 - For VNS-L11C432.
If anyone wants to try flashing themselves, I could link the update and hw_eu files (I also factory reset after install, so all files and apps were gone, though the OTA may possibly not do that, have never tried an OTA).
Link me files please
L31C432...Marshmallow rooted
1.Download Hicare app from Playstore
2.Download B370 trough Hicare
3.Upgraded B370 via Hicare
4,Phone booted to twrp
5.Unpacking B370....
6.Phone booting (new boot image)
7.Optimizing system
8.Phone booted okay...
Anything for VNS-L21?

you are right... I think, we have to wait for the right firmware....
Okay,
I have played around further with the newest L19C185B361.
Here is what i got so far:
Update through Firmware Finder is at this stage useless! Update will stop at 38% and or 5%
Update through forced update using Dialer *#*#2846579#*#* yields the same result! Stops at 38% and 5%!
Flashing through TWRP works but couple of error messages " unmount /cust failed" and "mount /cust failed"
Phone boots into Nougat but no keyboard on setup so no chance to setup google as speech is useless for setting up
Also shows NRD90M Test Keys as build!
Have to admit so that EMUI 5 looks good
Roll back seems to work with rollback package and full package of L19C185B210....does take a view times til it sticks!
Waiting for official Update over EMUI Updater

This is not an official update. This is a test version, but it works very well. If you have B321 then download the full version and install it like this:
1. Create a folder DLOAD in the external SD card.
2. Unzip the file update.zip into the DLOAD folder.
3. Disconnect your phone from your PC, if still attached.
4. In the dialer app type the following: *#*#2846579#*#*
5. Select Software Upgrade [option 4], then Update SD Card.
The phone will then reboot and install the update.
Enjoy
I know how to update already flashed b393/4 from xda and gone back to b321 official. So if coming from b394 it's enough ota update instead? Who cook this "test" version?
Thanks
This is a Huawei product, but not as an official update. If you have a B394 then OTA update is enough, but I always do full update.
Regards
Than you . Whit b321 official italian firmware I did 5.30 hours SOT and many time more than 4.30/5 hours. What about this version?
ı have p8 gra l09 and make update b395 but %50 battery and android system drain 800 mah battery and bad bad battery performance.later full reset phone but ı why android system drain battery?
got the same problem
Do not install any (test) firmware , other than these which come trough OTA update. The latest official update is B394...
I did full install of B395 and I noticed big battery improvement comparing B394. In B394 google services eat 40% of my battery during day, mostly when I was using mobile data. So my phone was at 30% (or less) around 16:00 and now it's around 60-70%.
Only problem I noticed is that Bluetooth system in my car is not working - devices are parred, but Bluetooth device doesn't receive any calls. I tried to unpair it and pair again, and still nothing. On the other hand, smart bracelet is connected and working fine so I presume it just permission problem somewhere but still didn't have time to look into it.
to go from b394 to b395 it's enough to flash OTA update.zip?

No, always flash Full update.
Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09 using XDA Labs
Got it yesterday through OTA. I have 400MB of free RAM more than on B394. Hopefully it would improve battery life because standby drain was way too high (1% per hour with all services diabled, I was getting up to 2 hours of screen on time).
I think the battery life here is tremendous!

Try to reflash the same update - in other words, if you recently updated to B395, reflash B395 using the dload-dialler method.
So after i've got this security update the local update option gone.Second sim card stooped functioned.
I downloaded the newest update the 608 and put it both as update.zip in DLOAD file and in root. After this I tried with volume + - and power button doing the updaten it reached 4% and after that said update failed. Also I tried dialing the hidden menu. Got in there and pushed the system upgrade from SDcard. The message says no update found. Somebody who knows the solution help!!!

You have 2 update zip, try the one that doesn't have inside the patch folder.
Must only have the update.app file
.
I only got to B601 - I don't think there is a newer version and for the custom ROMs, you don't need it.
Resurrection Remix (which has LineageOS features and more) Nougat is working perfectly for me on B601.
Back up your /system and just give it a shot with B600 - it'll probably work.

Seems to me like you have the stock recovery. Your problem looks like the perfect opportunity to start playing around with some custom roms.
If I were you I would
- unlock the bootloader
- install TWRP 3.1.1.
- install a custom rom
There are plenty of ROMs available, based on Android 5, 6, 7 or Stock . If you want to keep your overall P8 lite "look and feel" and use the dual sim feature best would be
(of course in my opinion, other may think different) the C432B608 DS P8 Lite EMUI Basic from this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-c432b604-ds-p8-lite-emui-basic-t3652417
Be sure to save your data first, because this will lead to a complete wipe and facttory reset of your phone.

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade my P9 to the latest software build but I've hit a brick wall. The phone is currently on L09C432B182 software version.
My phone was originally branded to EE (C440), but I followed the guide posted here to debrand it to C432. This was successful and after getting to B136 firmware I then got the updates to B166 and B182 in succession.
I've been using B182 for a couple of months, and all is working fine, but I've now got the urge to try Nougat. The problem is, all of the methods I've tried seem not to work.
- Huawei built in Updater app says no updates available
- Hisuite says no updates available
- Using the "Huawei Updater" via Hisuite/proxy method doesn't work as Hisuite is saying no internet connection (I think the custom ROM URLs are no longer valid)
- Using the Firmware Finder app and proxy add-on method gets me further in that I can download the updates (B360 or B361) in the built in Updater app and the phone will successfully verify them; however in all cases the installation fails at 5% due to "Software update failed! Failed to check the package"
- As a last resort, I tried extracting the update.app files from downloaded firmware, mounting in SD card/dload and then using the Dialer method to install from SD card; this also fails with a "Software update failed!" error
Has anyone had this issue when trying to upgrade from B182 and if so, did you manage to resolve it?
Thanks in advance
Nick
Don't try Nougat the battery life is ****
I tried the hisuite and Huawei updater route and got the no internet connection all the time. I gave up and went back to the firmware finder and tried to download B386 using the proxy method. This came back with failed to download. By random choice I checked the updater app on the phone to download latest full package. This immediately brought up and download the B386 firmware and it installed without a problem with no loss of data. Just to check it wasn't a bit of luck I did the same with the wife's phone and it worked the same way . As for battery life I don't see any problems with it
Hi there's a new OTA update MP4 for my global BS3 I'm currently on MP3 compilation the thing is every time I tried to update my phone it always fails it starts the OTA download but fails after is completed I got to say I did the process without root but didn't work tried also relocking bootloader but didn't work either, I know some people said we have to manually update with dial configuration but that doesn't work either so if anyone figured how to update please let me know the version I have is terrible it drains so fast the battery
Regards
Ive used the global rom and its buggy as hell. The latest chinese rom is much better.
