Has anyone who debranded in the uk got OTA update passed B166?
yes, i got 182. I am now on 361 manually updated
Hello!
Got my phone today and am trying to update the firmware. I see that there are 2 newer releases of firmware verse what is currently on the phone, but trying OTA does not find any updates. Firmware finder tells me "firmware not approved for installation" for everything.
This is a Latin America region phone that I am using on Tmobile in the US.
I tried resetting the phone to factory and updating without putting a SIM in, but it made no difference.
Has anyone with this build received and update via OTA?
Any help would be appreciated.

I ended up paying for funkyhuawei. It did work very easily.
When I was traveling in Australia I purchased a Nokia 8(TA-1012) in April. I was using with Telstra sim. After I purchased, it got update from 7.1.1 to 8.0 with February security patch . I was expecting to have 8.1 with April security patch. I decided to try with a Finnish sim card. After I install Elisa sim from Finland it got update first March then April security patch. But didn't receive 8.1. I reinstalled Telstra sim and keep using my phone. Now I come back to home, Turkey and keep phone with Finnish sim Elisa(Nokia 8 is not my primary phone).
Still no update to may security patch and 8.1
What's wrong? How can I update this phone to lastest software

Unfortunately, what you experienced is the same problem that effects all the majority of Australians with android phones.
You may be able to use the same technique I use (in Australia) to get OTA updates which is to remove the SIM, disable location services and use a VPN to get updates

I am having issues with the WiFi on my TA-1012. After I've done a Full Wipe Data via Recovery Menu, the camera update was done. Maybe you could try this. Unfortunately, my WiFi problem still persists
I have Clt-l09 c432 with .161 version.
I used to see 163 version and later 195 version in update settings..
I did not make update.
Yesterday, i have seen that my update has been lost.
There is no update anymore.
I have connected my p20 pro to my laptop.
I used to see updates there also.
But updates when i connect to my laptop, has been lost also.
Noone has any idea?
do you root ?
No, my phone is not rooted.

Do you contact Huawei support ?
I can assume that your cellular operator (assuming updates are still pushed through those) or Huawei pulled those updates because newer version was released.
Just out of curiosity, if you don't update your phone, why do you care the updates were pulled?
It is ok now. I could update to 9.0.0.203 through ota.
One month ago, i did update to 195 version. But system and camera was worse. So did returned to 8.1
Thanks for answers..
Hi,
I'm on Vodafone in the UK and seeing people getting the .153 update, but not sure if it's available here yet. Can anyone confirm?
It's not available officially, but I installed the L29 update using the USB otg method and it works fine. Now on v153 on my VOG-L09
Im on v124 on EE i have heard that EE still havn't even had any newer version from Huawei yet so sounds like it will be a while.
Andy how is it you have updated? if i updated to 153 like you have would that mean i probably wouldn't get any updates from EE again but could always update in the future the way you have described?
Also does it keep the status of phone as official?

did you have to wipe your device?
I updated using the L29 firmware posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...orial-vog-l29-flash-firmware-153-usb-t3928793
The L09 firmware is not available yet.
Phone status is still official and model number still VOG L09. Not sure if it makes a difference to future OTA updates.
Unfortunately it does wipe the device but easy to restore in hisuite.
The process is straightforward using a USB stick and a usb-c OTG adapter.

As above, carriers haven't been given the update from Huawei.
I updated using the OTG method. As above it'll wipe, but if you use a large enough USB OTG stick then you can restore the backup from the same stick.
I got mine sim free UK module update today via the suite software
removed
Did you see a change log ?
Would be nice to know what changed.

just got the update this morning ota uk single sim version unlocked.
No update here in the UK, dual sim version bought from DE, but it installed the Vodafone settings when I put the SIM in, Is that holding up the update?
I received the latest update yesterday.
Purchased Sim free in the UK, Vodafone Sim card.

Anyone on three network UK?
I have an unlocked handset but use a 3UK simcard and I got the update from .124 a few days ago via HiSuite
