Hi Guys,
after busting my head for a full day trying different methods of doing the firmware finder option and using the firmware finder proxy tool. i managed to update my locked ee (uk) p9 from an earlier build no. to build no. c440b142 (official) but my emui version only changed to 4.1.3 and is still on marshmallow.
can anyone tell me where ive went wrong and what steps i need to do? i thought that if i done the full ota tutorial after watching the youtube clip i would have nougat installed but it hasnt. i still have all my files and photos after the update :/
im lost....do i need to pay EE an unlock fee or do i need to do something else?
cheers
cammy
EE sent me a text saying my phone is already unlocked so what do i have to do now? do i have to get my phone rooted and pay money to do this?
cheers

Take a look if there is a nougat update for your cust. If there is not you can debrand your phone with the link above.
THESE PROCEDURES MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY!

Hi all,
I'm running a Huawei P9 with a build number of L19C900B190. I am not rooted, bootloader locked. Having an insane time trying to find a way to upgrade from Marshmallow to Nougat. I can't find any other C900 firmwares, so is it impossible for me to upgrade? In my desperation I have finally resorted to opening a new thread. Which regions received the C900 firmware? I am based in Singapore.
I understand another method i can go is to unlock my bootloader, root my phone, flash another oem firmware like C636 or whatever and then upgrade to Nougat. However I am trying to find a method that can keep my warranty intact as my device is just a few weeks old. If anyone can point out a firmware i can flash Nougat for my phone type via the dload method, I would be really grateful.
Oops. Sorry mods could you delete this thread, moving to questions and answers part of the forum.
You flashed a wrong update file then you got c900. Which cXXX were you using when you buy your phone? You should find it and flash it. C900 is cross flash code, no region for it.

Hi,
Just sharing my experiences with you.. I had the same problem as you. Tried to flash C636B190 firmware from stock firmware (which is customised by Starhub I guess Cause build number is L19 C20B150 and I can't find any info for C20 build) and end up having C900B190 installed. Regardless of how many times I reflash, build number stay with C900B190 instead of C636B190. Although I had the B190 build, but fail to install Nougat update via Hisuit.
You can try to use Hisuit and PC to update to Nougat, see either it will fall at 1% or not. No harm will occur on your phone.. I tried many times. After giving up, I just send the phone back to service center and revert back to their original firmware.. And to wait for OTA.
Good luck...
I ended up sticking with the C900B190 FW as it's a pretty stable firmware for marshmallow. I've read around and with some help, found out that only way to go to nougat is to debrand to a C636 FW and then upgrade manually.
Anybody knows whether my huawei p9 EVA-L09 C346 B150 have received nougat update or not?
Someone help me please

I checked in Firmware Finder for your phone and that is the only one I could find. Looks like you are not getting any new updates for the carrier you are using(but I'm not 100% sure). In order to get updates you need to debrand your phone to C432. Follow the link here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523

Is it safe for my device to do that? Since my devic3 is under vodafone, i want to know whether the update will be released by vodafone or official huawei?

I followed the steps there and it worked fine for me. I too was also waiting for Vodafone Australia to release Nougat update (EVA-L09 user here that had vodafone branded phone). Huawei hasn't given the firmware to them yet so I went and debranded anyway using that L09C432 guide.
Just make sure you get bootloader to unlock properly. Official method to get bootloader unlock code is recommended.
So the steps I noted are:
- I got the bootloader unlock code from huawei, inserted the code with SRK-Tool to push the unlock code to the phone.
- Followed steps to get to B182.
- Then used this guide to get further updates: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70594380&postcount=2 (Do this incrementally, don't jump past a build or more in advance.)
Hi,
End of January I bought a P10 SIM free from a major UK retailer.
It is stuck on March 1st 2017 updates, with no updates available.
I contacted Huawei support - they say my IMEI should be on B162. But I get no update OTA, and even through the HiSuite app it says I have latest.
They said I have to send the phone back for 2 weeks and they will factory reset and upgrade. This is unbelievable to me.
They told me if I use the firmware finder app I would void warrenty. But I thought if I do not root and install the authorised firmware version (B162) then they wouldn't know or it wouldn't be a problem.
I am a little confused by the number of different firmwares in the app, many with the same version number. How do I know which to use? What is the difference between OTA-MF and FullOTA-MF (from the sizes I guess full is full and other is incremental).
Will any of them get me back on the official upgrade path, or if I do this will it be manual updates forever from now on?
Do I have to root to install the firmware from firmware finder (I think not?)
I always thought people who focussed on stock android were silly, and I quite like EMUI but I am really regretting buying Huawei now.

depending on your CUST code you'll have to claim contact to your brand... I mean if your rom is "customized" by the carrier is not only Huawei but also the carrier who has to work on the update the other option depending on your model is to Debrand and change the firm to L29C432 and get the updates of the official but be careful about bricks or Sim detection problems...read all threads talking about debranding and go ahead if you feel confident to avoid a brick

Thanks. It is retail SIM free non-branded. Ie just bought from a store nothing to do with any carrier. I don't really understand the difference between L29 and L09. Mine shows L09 at the moment. Are they different hardware versions?

Hardware is (almost) the same. L29 allows to use both sims in the sim tray.
Just to update.
I used Firmware Finder to install B186A update. Worked perfect and have January 2018 security patch level.
The more recent B185 firmwares are rollback firmwares for downgrading from Oreo. Check the release notes carefully and make sure you chose an upgrade firmware (not a rollback firmware) that is authorized for your IMEI. (For me B186 was not approved but B186A was).
None of the Oreo firmwares were authorized for my device.

Were you able to simply download the firmware from Firmware Finder and install directly? Were there any other steps you had to follow to do this correctly?
Reason i ask is that i am in same situation as you were. Purchased Sept 2017 via O2 in the UK, no updates at all (still on L90C432B113), contacted Huawei and O2 about Oreo with no possible updates and showing March 2017 Security Patch Level.
Getting sick of waiting and looking to move to Oreo as soon as possible.
Any tips would be helpful - thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
I was on B120 with a Serbia certified P10.
I installed B186A from Firmware Finder. (at the time I did it B185 was not approved). Its important to do the check with the IMEI number within the app to see if the firmware is signed for your device. I did the proxy method, where you set the proxy, pause download at 5%, unset proxy and it worked very smoothly.
I think the main thing is to make sure you chose an upgrade firmware and not a rollback firmware. They are not labelled clearly and the only difference is in the readmes so check carefully. There are a few more recent B185 firmwares which I found confusing, but they are for people who need to rollback from orea (and so reset the device).
A couple of days later I got Oreo B365 over the air (not through the app). Upgrade went very smooth.
Big improvement in battery life and overall performance better all round.
With Project Treble in place I hope updates will be quicker, and maybe even easy to install stock one day.
Hello guys,
Quick question. Does anybody know where to get official 9.1 OR 10.0 firmware for C605 phones? My current version shows 9.0.0.263 (C605E2R1P11). I'm using my phone with MINT mobile. No OTA updates available...
Modded hisuite and huawei firmware finder
EMUI 10 for P20 Pro was not released globally yet.
Stupid question, do you have an active SIM in the phone? Initial OTA might not arrive without a SIM.
Also, I can suggest using HiSuite on a PC, it also can find new versions when you don't see OTA.
Yes, I have active SIM in my phone. But nothing happens OTA. As far as HiSuite goes, I tried a regular (non modified) version and also no updates found.
I was wondering if there are users with C605 region that have 9.1 firmware installed and how/where did they get it. I know there are some web resources that host firmware but I'm skeptical to use them without references...
The EMUI 10 you see on firmware finder is only for india region

Can somebody tell how exactly this method is used? I found the modded Hisuite and installed it and replaced files. But got No internet error. Also, not completely understanding how the FF is used along with Hisuite for installation. Thanks.
