Huawei Ascend P7 L10 Lollipop Update (B853) Latin America

Greetings to all! I have a question regarding the lollipop update on the P7. I purchased my P7 in Costa Rica from a cellphone company. I have yet to receive the OTA update and would like to update to lollipop. My question is will updating using the firmware huawei provides (B853) in it's website work for me? I know it's the update for Asia but will it work and run properly for me. I'm a new with android so any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello no my phone is not rooted. Do I have to root it to be able to update?

No, if your phone were root, you won't receive OTA updates.
You can update through local update

P8 Lite Middle East & Africa Update

Hey there.
I have a Question.
I came from Germany and buy my P8 Lite on Amazon.
The Phone itself is absolut Powerfull and i like it.
But it is a Model for the Middle East & Africa.
Build Number isALE -L21C185B180 and has German Language in it´s Setup.
Updating to Marshmallow is not possible via OTA while it is not for the European Market.
Now i found the Middle East Update to ALE-21C185B525.
Is there anybody who can tell me that German Language is avaible in this Update?
Can someone tell me how to Upgrade this and warn me from Problems with the Manual Update?
Thanks a lot.

As far as I know, all versions have most languages, especially, let's say, strong languages like German.
But on XDA you can find many threads about how to change locale of device and update to any version you like, stock or custom, with or without root and with or without custom recovery. This is fine device and we have a few options.

Hahah ok then It must be a new version then which I don't know, bcz my phone has the same version as yours actually but I moved to Europe version , could you please share the changelog of this version ? Thank you

I don´t have a changelog.
It is the Firmware that was on the Phone as it get´s delivert.
I do not update anything.
Can you tell me how to change to European Version or share a link to a tutorial.
Iam still not happy to buy a Phone in Germany and get one from Africa.

Yes, you just need to unlock bootloader first then flash the oeminfo EU zip then flash EU lolipop rom then you can upgrade to marshmallow too if you want
If you need help just tell me

B123 update - not received?

I'm on L09C432 and still haven't received the B123 OTA update yet. Should I be worried? Anyone else in the same situation?
My version is still B113. Not done any funny business to the phone software. I did buy the phone in Germany sim free and using it in the UK day to day... does that impact firmware rollout?

No idea if I should be expecting an update. In Thailand, currently using VTR-L29C636B120.

No update too. L09C432 from Belgium.

Belgium too ... No update B123 still un B113

OK, I feel less worried now! Looks like Huawei are really slow in rolling out B123... and also B120!

latest software is B130 and battery life is improved.

Just received the VTR-L29C636B133 update (Thailand)

Im on B123 in Hungary, Europe

Hey all. I picked up a sim free version here in the UK (L09). I still seem to be running B120 and the device is not picking up any new updates. I spoke to Huawei and they say B162 is the latest version they are endorsing. Phone or Hi Suite not picking up anything.

Hi, I have the same phone from Currys and I updated it with FF without problem to B179. Then joined the Beta program. After that I did a rebrand to L29 for DS functionality. Then flashed the L09 OEMinfo.bin ( still have DS function ) and after a couple of days I was able to update to Oreo Beta through OTA. But the project in the Beta app is missing.

[OTA] Build 164 - LX1C432 Report

Hi!
Just received OTA on LX1C432 (p8 lite 2017 - black - stock - without brand - france).
This update seems to be released a week ago, but needs 15-30 days to be detected. It needs a sim card too.
Changes :
Ota from b110 to b164
EMUI 5.0 / Android 7.0
Security patch : 5 may
Stability and performance improved.
On call UI optimized
Language fix (serbian)
Mobile data logging optimized
Thanks Huawei for this release, maybe we can hope EMUI5.1 in few months/weeks ? Whats are your thought about this update ?

Can you please give more detailed information about the new firmware version?
What was the firmware you had before this last update?
Thanks in advance.

Go to settings and go to software update -> check update. I know that Huawei check system number (you can't do cross-flash) and moreover it checks the IMEI for branded update.

I was with B110 firmware.

I'm on B115, using a UK sim, and no sign of update...
Maybe I can try putting in a different sim. Will notify here if I have any news.

I'm not sure B115 is the same region, B164 update is for devices that are on B110.

Can someone please share TWRP backup of build 164? i have PRA-LX1C432

B164 is not for every PRA-LX1C432, there are different regions of this device. This OTA comes on devices that are on B110, if not you should wait for your update.

But still, if i restore twrp backup there wont be any errors in restoration, hardware of every PRA-LX1 is identical. My only concern is will dualsim work.
If someone can, please consider uploading the backup

Awesome thanks for your quick replies. Now we wait

Firmware finder on playstore says that I can update to B397 without IMEI but without IMEI says that it's not approved. Should I do it?

Not really. Look for Tecalote instructions how to update with no check recovery. That's how I did it and now I am on B398.

I have those features in my P9 L29C636B394. Also it is at January 1, 2018 android security patch level. I don't notice any battery difference but then I am not a heavy user and the battery has always been good.

Yes, dual sim and C636 is Asia Pacific although I live in Canada. All my updates are through Firmware Finder. None have come OTA because of where I live. The P9 was never sold in Canada.

What is your build number ?
Also pro tip :
If you try to install the firmware from Firmware finder, use the approved firmware only.
Also use Full OTA -MF.
The update must be the next one in order. (eg : if b385,b386 and b387 are available, install b385 first then 386 and 387)
I used to get the update failed error, but after following the above steps, I was able to update. (Now on Jan security patch)/
