Hello!
I have a P9 Plus that I wish to update from Marshmallow (L29C636B170) to Nougat (L29C636B362), but I am unable to because I keep on getting this message when I try to update...
http://i.imgur.com/2m7sV4I.jpg
"Software Install Failed!
Failed to check the update package.
Please download the package again".
I have tried using different firmware versions like B320 but the same error appears.
This phone used to have a custom TWRP recovery, but was returned to stock, and I fully unrooted my phone. I then use the Huawei Updater to send the package to HiSuite and find the firmware using Firmware Finder. I still have an unlocked bootloader however. Am I missing anything?
Cheers,

Try relock the bootloader.
How do I relock the bootloader? I tried using fastboot oem lock to relock but it says that the command isnt allowed.
just simply force update dload of update.app if you are in B170 then use update.app of B170 and force dload by push 3 button same time
Okay, it seems I have solved this question with the help of Mostar088 and itongx. Special thanks to them!
The first problem was that the firmware I had was to old to update to Nougat. I had to install L29C636B202 using HiSuite. This updates the firmware to B202. Updating to B202 makes it capable of upgrading to Nougat. So, I then install L29C636B370 to my phone using HiSuite and Huawei Updater. So far, I'm loving the update and none of my files were deleted, however, this doesn't mean you shouldn't back up.
Cheers.

Hi, i have a P8 lite 2017. It's a single sim phone with hardware of a dual sim. I want to flush the software and install the dual sim P8Lite 2017 software. How do I do this, please help..
Hi guys I got a second hand p9 still on emui 4.1.1
I've tried via updater but it says there's no update available, it seems to come unlocked already but then I dont understand why it doesnt find the update. Also tried connecting it via HiSuite but it doesn't work at all, when I try it says that there's no internet connection and that I should check settings.
How do I upgrade it to the latest version? I don't want to unlock it and all that stuff, is there a way?
Thanks in advance

Proxy method via Hisuite requires you to use the version that is linked with the guy that posted the 3 L09C432 nougat firmware updates.
You cannot use the latest Hi Suite version to do so.
Download the app "Firmware Finder" from the Google play store. It will allow you to check for later updates and whether they are approved for installation. It will then allow you to push the update to the phone's built-in updater app. If your phone is already on 432 you can do all of this without unlocking the bootloader.
Thanks guys, I managed to update via HiSuite using Huawei updater. I'm on b378 and both phone and HiSuite can't find any further update. Anyway I just wanted Nougat cause I didn't like MM on this device.

[Guide] Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat "Updated 25.03.2018"
[Guide] Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat
This thread will be discontinued, because Huawei refuses to provide unlock codes in the future, because of security reasons.
A shame that after the support end of the device it will be quite useless, cause you don´t get any security updates and have no chance to make secure again, by flashing someting else.
I recommend you not buy any Huaweidevices in the future cause of that.
Here´s my P10 Guide, the steps are the same for the P10 Plus: Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat
Just use the following files for the P10 Plus instead:
TWRP for P10 Plus

Doesn't work on a converted single sim UK P10 plus to dual sim. Used this method to go back to B123 to get the phone to work. It was showing a different model number each time I tried to update to B177 using this method.

Did you already use this method before? Seems you messed up with the 1 of the 3 updatefiles. Especially the update_all_hw.zip which is only for the l29 or l09.
Did you try to update via firmware finder and did you make check with imei in that tool? That should fix your problems, if you use the FullOTA.

The FULLOTA in firmware finder says 'The firmware is not approved for installation'.
I have VKY-L09C432 which I converted to VKY-L29C432 and was on B170. I used the 3 update files from the the link you provided in step 2 'HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B177.zip'. Was I supposed to change any of these files?

No, i think you just haven´t read the guide carefully. In firmwarefinder choose an older one, that is approved for installation.

I am back on L29C432B170 via normal OTA.
Probably messed up on 2. Run the update.bat file from a preopended CMD with adminrights, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.
I just ran update.bat file as an administrator. That was the only thing I did differently to the guide.
Hello guys!

No connection to the mobile network after rebranding
Hi
I went through all your described steps and everything worked fine. However, I've got a strange problem.
I have different SIM cards available (multiple mobiles), but only one (prepaid from croatia) is working after the procedure. The ones from Vodafone Germany and Swisscom do not work.
They work fine on other mobiles. Everything else is working fine on the P10+. The SIMs not working, are displayed in the phone, but will not connect to the mobile network of any provider.
No available networks are listed. Both SIM-slots tested.
Any idea, where the problem could come from?
Thanks for your help.
how to convert VKY-L09C432 dual sim to single sim?
Sorry for stupid question. I'm having VKY-AL00 with B217 firmware. I guess soon I will update it to Oreo. Am I still capable for rebranding?

You can still rebrand, but AL00 is already dual sim if that's what you were after.

There's a walkthrough for using HWOTA to rebrand to the L29 model: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p1...nvert-to-dualsim-huawei-p10-plus-vky-t3605071 Works very well, changed my Fido/Rogers L09 without any issues. The instructions can be a little confusing but you should be ok if you've flashed phones before.

I'm thinking to go from chinese to european firmware may be The reason is I can't turn my location history ON in Google Maps And It seems I'm still having some notification problems.
TWRP not working
Hi,
I can't get TWRP to work on my VKY-L29. Everytime I try to get in TWRP, I get into the normal Huawei recovery again. Phone's Bootloader is definitely unlocked and it also says that writing the TWRP was sucessful. I followed all the steps as they're written. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I don't know what to tell you...I got firmware finder as well but my latest update was 2 days ago and now i got B177.The chinese phones already got Oreo update (yesterday,two days ago). I recomand you to not update yet,use HiSuite and connect your phone to your pc.I did get B170 using the cable and having installed on my pc HiSuite,so good luck.
Hello,
Tried following the guide but now my phone VKY-L09 shows up as a NRD90M with 2GB of RAM. followed the procedure many times now but still with the same results.
Doing the rebrand seems to work (if i do it twice on the update script it shows VKY-L29C432 but after booting up it still is NRD90M.
I can boot to fastboot/twrp/erecovery without issues.
Used this file HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B177.zip
I am from Portugal and only need for the phone to have Dual Sim

Had a similar issue. Got round it by following this guide to rebrand then used the firmware finder app to install the latest available vky-l29 update. After that I unlocked bootloader again and flashed twrp and installed magisk.

Install b182 (still MM) and you should then receive OTA upgrades to b38x, b39x (Nougat)

I still don't understand why you don't 'like' OTAs. In System Update, Settings, you can always choose Full Update instead of default Differential. And you can force afterwards Factory Reset if you think you need.
b386 is the last flashable by DLOAD. Btw, I was going back and forth through diff stock and rooted and custom ROMs, rollbacks, OTAs, and never had any error in installations. There are many threads with excellent info and guides, you must read and follow because in diff situations methods might be different. DLOAD is not always applicable
I desperately need the service rom for P10 64GB VTR-L29C432.
please share if you have it.
Which service rom? The "service mode" comes up when something went wrong while flashing the firmware.

tried that and it didn't work. forced update fails at 5%.
Have tried formatting the cards as both exfat and ntfs and neither works either.
then you do something wrong.
What firmware are you on now?
here is the russian site with the list of service roms use google translator
here is the list on the androidhost.ru server search for C432
If you open the firmware zip from androidhost.ru you can find a document with the instructions. You need the 'forcible update' method.
