Database Develop

A possible method for ANY P9 to update to Android 7.0

I have tried it and it works perfectly for my Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636B190. I think this method will work on ANY model of P9, any region.
I'm now on EVA-L09C636B320. With everything normal. No development version. I think it is offical. Now im trying to update to B361 with the same method.
Here's what you need:
Huawei Hisuit
Huawei firmware finder
Huawei updater
First, make sure your P9 is updated to the latest EMUI 4.1.1, then use the firmware finder, simply choose the 'common database', and enter your model number, such as 'EVA-L09C636', then click 'update' of the first version of B3xx, but dont download it.
Try to copy the download link 'http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73968/f1/full/update.zip'
And delete everything after 'f1' make it like this ''http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73968/f1'
Then you can use the method in this thread

And enjoy your new Android.

Ah I got a problem, I'm now on EVA-L09C636B320, when I'm trying to update to B361 it shows error....................
I'm not sure if the OTA works as there isn't any update I can find through "update phone" :/

right.........but there isn't B360 from firmware finder...
there's only B320 then B361 for C636 .. any idea where I can find the B360 or other firmware needed?

Im on c02 and no update at this moment. Even with this Method i can update and there is 2 updates via update finder , tried both of them by dload method and still error at 38%

Depends on model

Hello there, I did every step mentioned by OP here and did the steps detailed in the linked post. Everything is going fine, firmware is downloading and if I'm lucky it will finish doing it in about 3 or 4 hours (yes, ****ty conection). Anyways, Firmware Finder found this EVA-L09C605B360 and I'm currently on EVA-L09C605B135 I can clearly see that it may work and have Nougat by the end of this day that but I'm concerned about this method and its safety; is it safe, can I trust in FF? Am I doing any damage or restricting this phone's future capability to receive OTAs? Like I said I got plenty of time to stop the update process if in any case my phone is going to be bricked or dead by flashing lol
I'm expecting your answers or experiences
Cheers.

So you can go from 320 to 360 and then to 361? (i'm L09-C636)
BTW super happy to finally have android 7, thanks OP

The awkward thing is no B360 for C636 ... Huawei is really toxic

Hi, thanks for reply
Unfortunately I'm not sure if OTA works or not. Because there's still no official update through OTA.
But the update for me works fine, no bugs found currently.

So that means if OTAs don't work we will have to update following the same procedure we followed here to update to a more recent compilation/version of the ROM? Thanks for answering!

im on l09c34b140 and with the method theres no update apart from the one i have (my one seems to be the latest). Would it work if i just used a c636 version or sth like that?

I have C432 as well but with B181 with EMUI 4.1.1 OTA

I flashed C432 a few days ago and the OTA updates stopped in B170. I guess it depends on the region, in which region are you @Winterwolfbe?

Not getting oreo update for my p10 plus

Hello, i've been wondering why i cant get the oreo update on my p10 plus while everybody else is. My most recent update is vky-l29c576b170 .
I'm not getting any new updates and that's frustrating since i know most p10 plus devices should have it already.
Can somebody help with this one?

No you'll have to rebrand your phone first if you want that. This involves unlocking your bootloader, which Huawei doesn't support anymore.

Yes, until Huawei pushes an update for your brand. DC unlocker can unlock your bootloader, but it will cost you about 5 USD.

I did not get a new update for more than a year, phone was stuck on Nougat version. I recently called Huawei support, explained the problem, they asked me IMEI and told me to wait two/three week. Yesterday I got all updates, now on Oreo - 8.0.0.375 version .

[NEWS] System update soon for COR-L29 users?

I was just using firmware finder on my Honor Play(TL-10 version) and found this result for L29 model.
No idea what this is about. Though the app doesn't work anymore, maybe L29 users can try a shot in the dark.

No root, locked bootloader. For some reason Huawei /Honor devices are very easy to brick. For now quite happy with Oreo and not under pressure about 9.0 as it's on the way

I downloaded this and tried to install it but it failed instantly on installing using the dload method. I usually flash with a fat32 sdcard but the firmware file is too large so i tried with exFat i'm not sure if this is the correct format?

I just purchased the honor play L29 and i'm stuck with 8.2.0.130 firmware. No emui 9 with beta test or just navigation gestures. Does any owner of the COR-L29 receive a new update ?

In order to get faster updates!

I have been thinking about how to get faster updated..
Changing phone language or region, setting up vpn connection, or something else..
Do you have any idea about this?

Buy a pixel

you could try to force it by opening the HiCare app, navigating through its menus, and requesting an update.
it works for me

Thank you very much.
But, it did not work.

There is no factory images - download and install? (I know about Pixel and Nexus )

You can use the FunkyHuawei website (which is a paid service), to change the phone's region.

Maybe you can update manually with this app: Huawei Firmware Finder (Play Store)
More info on this thread.
With this app you can find new updates that have been released for your model and you can either download it to flash it manually or set a VPN to change your country and force the System Update app to show the update.

Guides is all available in Guide and News section or ROM n kernel section here in P20 Pro subforum,
its 99,9% safe. 0,1% is when people messed things up, like not having enough battery when flashing, unplugged the cable during process, or carelessly use wrong file version.
been doing manual update from EMUI 8 .103 up to EMUI 9 .168 , thats around 5 to 7 updates if am not mistaken,
with all userdata still intact from the first update.

I have a last question..
After installing update via OTG flashdisk, do you think my phone will go on receiving regular OTA updates?

I am with locked bootloader.
I have updated my p20 pro to pie via SD card.
Now, is it possible to return to official oreo without unlocking bootloader..
Thanks

Hello how did you do that? I don't understand some part of tutorial like oeminfo. I don't know what right oeminfo file do I need.. I have clt09 c109 with oreo 137.

You are on firmware 131.
But they say that you should be on 161 in order to get 9.0 update via SD card
