Hello there, I'm trying to update my EVA-L09C605B135 to B380 (nougat) manually and I want to know if it is safe to do it. In Fimrware Finder I found aviable only B320, B360 and B380 and previous only B135 (the one and latest I'm currently using) for my CUST. Should I start by updating to a previous version or is it ok to go on with latest?
Edit: in FF B320 and B380 appear like "OTA" while B360 is the only that appears as "FULL", what does that mean? Should I go for FULL?
I have a Vodafone UK branded handset and went from B137 (MM) to B341 (Nougat) without any issues.
I had TWRP installed and flashed the update zips there, when i went to Nougat and temp lost TWRP, using the dload folder method worked too.
tl;dr - yes to your first question! IMHO.
I would say that ota updates are incremental updates, and if coming from one android version to another ie Marshmallow to Nougat you want to flash the "full" update zip. That's what i would do anyway...
Peace
Am also in need of that answer.
i'm on stOck marshmawllowVIE-L29C185B181
when nougat upgrade to B360 is possible?
i tried to nougat B320 and it was successful with upgrade finder but failed with B360? so i returned to marshmawllow to have official OTA
Hello!
I'm currently running on EMUI 4.1.1 (EVA-L09C900B182)
I downloaded the official firmware for P9 from Huawei website, extracted the UPDATE.APP with this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 so i could get the stock RECOVERY.img.
I placed the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on the root of my external SDCARD
Rebooted into bootloader, flashed the stock recovery (I had TWRP).
vol+, vol- and power button togheter, it tries to install but fails (software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package.)
I tried also with huawei firmware finder app and even if it says the firmware is approved for the installation when i verify with IMEI, it fails after (I tried EVA-L09C900B386).
I tried:
- with the in-app proxy, changing my wifi proxy to localhost:8080 and using the default updater
- downloading the package and manually moving UPDATE.APP in dload on my ext sd card.
What i would like to obtain is a full stock huawei p9 phone, so i could get the official android 7 and latest firmware.
Thanks a lot!

Best is to follow this guide and debrand the phone to C432.

I did something similar and ended up with C432B242 after some update with huawei firmware finder. Now I cant reach B397.. I've tried all the intermediate steps after 242: no luck. It fails during installation. Any specific instruction?

U have to downgrade to B182 and then upgrade to B360 FullOTA-MF-PV
When u upgrade to a new Android system u must flash FullOTA-MF-PV
U could try without downgrade first, but u cant upgrade to B397 because its not signed yet by Huawei, B395 ist the latest approved Firmware.

From b182 OTAs will lead up to b395.
b397 OTA is expected any day, meanwhile it can be forced (as well as the newer b398) from b395 by using no-check recovery:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/eva-nocheck-recovery-flash-unapproved-t3705125
Update:
I reinstalled from b136 => b166 => b182
After that i tried b378 but now my build number is NRD90M test-keys
Will start again from b136 trying something different.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to upgrade my Huawei P9 Plus with Android 6 to Android 8.
Initially the phone had Android 7 and a Vodafone Branding, so I did a rollback to Android 6 and installed VIE-L09C432B161 and the VIE-L09C432B181 Firmware with changing the oeminfo to c432 with the SRK Tool.
Before I can rebrand the phone to AL10 with the Rebrand-Update-Tool-HWOTA7-P9-PLUS-VIE to install a Android 8 Firmware, I have to upgrade my phone again to Nougat with EMUI 5.
Unfortunately the OTA updates via the Update Manager are no longer available, so I tried to install different Nougat Firmwares via dload.
Every UPDATE.APP i tried fails at 5% or 37%
At the moment I have this B181 Firmware installed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/vie-l09c432b181-vie-l09c432b360.4278905/#post-86382521
I also tried installing Nougat Firmwares with the HuRu Updater, but so far it didn't work.
Could anyone explain me please, what I have to do next to install a Android 7 Firmware successfully?
Thank you!
