To update to Oreo can i use this method ? https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p10-b360-oreo-firmware-update/
Or is it better to wait for OTA or FF approval ? Thanks
You can use HWOTA for updating. Here's a tutorial for older firmwares, but you can also use the firmware files for Oreo. Download from here.

Do i need unlocked bootloader for HWOTA update ?
Well, I tried it on a VTR-L29C432B180 (downloading the 3 files for Oreo, renaming them, using the update.bat with unlocked bootloader and all the steps) and ended up in eRecovery. Then I could restart the phone and it booted up, but it was the same version (B180).
Any ideas?
If you are updating from Oreo beta to Oreo, you can follow the guide that I wrote earlier: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-upgrading-versions-emui-8-p10-to-t3748844

Did you let eRecovery do its job? HWOTA pushes the three update files to the phone, installs eRecovery and then provide commands, which tell eRecovery to install these three update files. So, if you did everything right, then eRecovery will install the update, don't cancel it.
If you need further help, contact me via PM.
When we found a solution we'll post it here for the public but for working on a problem it's better to chat directly.
@madoxx77 If your bootloader is locked, HWOTA will ask you to unlock it with the unlock code. Without unlocked bootloader it's not possible.

What about if we are coming from Nougat/Emui 5.1?
Any suggestions?

I don't know why my other reply appeared first to me after the post I'm quoting. Now I see this reply to my first post...
Nevertheless. I did it with the script. When it finished and asked me to hit Enter so the device would reboot, it entered erecovery and only got that screen where it wants to reinstall the original firmware and gives you the option to download it via Wifi. It failed to download it. And then, after a couple of tries, it booted up in Nougat (the same version I was running).
What step do you think went wrong? I used Same Brand Update or whatever it is called.
Cheers.

It seems that the recovery img files you flash with HWOTA are wrong. Please be sure to use these files.
The original recovery has an online check and doesn't allow scripts.

This could end up in hard brick also if OTA detects other system modifications. You should just edit the OP with a warning.

and i also tried updating after flashing custom rom [which is available online] and i was successfully updated

I don't think it's a useful thread as there is a specific thread to give information about installing Official firmware and relocking the bootloader.!
Please moderator check this once.
This might damage the devices if anyone tries to update the ROM through OTA, by just changing the recovery being the variety ,oem and bootloader status changed.

In stock Moto G5s plus rom I had installed TWRP and rooted the phone and just wanted the stock recovery so that i can install April security patch, The recovery was installed however when it tried to install the April update it failed, All though it did load the OS and i was back to where i was.
Whole story in short if you have rooted the phone with TWRP and need stock recovery just to install latest update, IT WONT WORK.
You will need to install SANDERS_NPS26.116-61_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml from site firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20G5s%20Plus/Stock/ and then start the entire thing from scratch and then it will update over OTA as well regardless if bootloader is unlocked.
once your device installs all updates you can then install TWRP again and root it if you want to. but if you do that and wish to get OTA you will need to go back to stock and repeat the whole process from scratch.
Could always just do "fastboot boot" instead of "fastboot flash". It will allow you to then boot twrp, install what you want, and not touch the stock recovery.

Hey! I Finally did this, I removed the twrp and the root, I Just installed this stock (?) rom through the "adb fastboot". Now when I look for OTA updates it appears a message that indicates that the latest security update is installed, it's the one of December 2017...
Why doesn't it appear the last one (april's or so)?
What I have to do in order to have or reactivate the OTA updates?
Thanks in advance!
Make sure the correct stock rom is installed. (Cross check the name word to word) I too tried a few different stock ROMs and only the above version worked and updated till April security patch. Rest versions didn't update for some reason.

Don't go by date go by exact name and number of rom as I mentioned. I tried almost all the firmwares listed and only the one that I mentioned updated to latest april security patch. Matter of fact i just restored phone to stock yesterday and it worked again. Also copy all the commands to a notepad and save the same as .bat file so that way you can just run the file and it will automatically install stock rom and reboot phone.
---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------
Check software channel name in settings. Mine is listed as retin. I read that there are other software channels too for which updates security patch has not been released yet. I may be wrong though.

Hello
I have a question. Is it possible migrate to Android One? I read there is Moto X4 Fi version using Android One, so I don't if it is possible to change the rom on "normal" version
Is it a good idea? Yes, why? No way? XD
Thank you
It's possible without unlocking bootloader, I did that on my Moto X4 XT1900-6.

I used this image: PAYTON_FI_OPW27.57-25-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Download this file and extract both image and adb to the same folder.
Install Motorola Device Manager.
Now, boot your phone into fastboot, just turn it off and press volume down + power, connect the USB cable and execute the script.
The image are already on Oreo, the script contains instructions to erase userdata, even so, do a hard reset after flashing the phone.
Worked fine here, but do at your own risk.

No, the bootloader remain locked, probably you'll recebe updates, I'm waiting january patch to see.
Thanks for your contribution.
I just flashed this on my European XT1900-7 and it is working ok.
Although, unfortunately IMS-Services such as VoLTE and VoWiFi (WiFi-Calling) are disabled in this Project-Fi ROM
They are unchecked when opening test menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer.
Anybody has a clue on how to get this working?

Hi, I didn't received any ota updates, I think it's because of the software channel, mine is retbr.

Hi everybody
Wishing to sell my Huawei P9 I wanted to return it as it came out of the factory but impossible.
It has the bootloader unblock, FRP lock at one time it was unlock and since I tried to make an update it went into lock and the TWRP recovery of installed.
It is under 5.0.1 and android 7 and the number of buils is EVA-L09C530B284.
I tried the 3 methods to install an original ROM of my operator but nothing to do that does not.
- The DLOAD method: it restarts in the recovery twrp there are steps that are done and then it failed all in 2 minutes.
- The forced update method: that's 5% and installation failed.
- With hi suite: everything is going well and said that such is up to date and restart nothing I'm still in the old versions.
I did the 3 methods with the unrooted phone.
I feel that it is the recovery twrp that blocks the installation.
How to install the original recovery and install the official updates?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sorry, I don't understand your question.
For both HWOTA (first link) or HWOTA7 (second link) you need to unlock Bootloader first - but you wrote above that previously you had unlocked Bootl8ader, hence you can use the same Bootloader code - it is bound to your eevice.
Asvdescribed in HWOTA instructions, installation of some stock ROMs will automatically relock your Bootloader (it-sa flag in the update.zip, out of your control) - hut you can always unlock it again.
ok it's good I just made an update and everything is back in order it is as if he came out of the box
thank you very much
Hi, i've been following this guide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/how-to/how-to-rebrand-p10-plus-to-vky-l29c432-t3794256
on how to rebrand my huawei p10 plus. My brand is/was vky-l29c576. After following the guide i flashed twrp and unlocked the bootloader.
I wiped my system and tried to flash the c432 firmware with hwota8 method that is shown there. but always when i try to install hwota8_update.zip the twrp instantly closes and the phone reboots to huawei erecovery... when i unlock the phone again and go to twrp again i see in the log i have an error 9: http://prntscr.com/kx66jd
So right now im stuck with a p10 plus without any firmware and with only twrp installed.
Just to clarify my phone was on nougat 7.0 and i was trying to rebrand into an oreo
Anyone who has any idea on what to do? or this phone is a goner.
Hwota8 was made for Oreo (Android 8). You need a procedure with Hwota instead. Check e.g. these: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/huawei-p10-debrand-rebrand-update-guide-t3691013 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108

Did someone in the RETEU Channel allready have this ?
I dont see it on lolinet.
Also. Is it possible that i flash a RETUS or DTEU image towards my phone ? Do i still get the RET EU updates or does it not matter?
Kind regards and thanks !
You won't be able to flash the boot.img from RETUS or the international version and you won't get OTA updates if you have an unlocked bootloader.
If it's not in the firmware list yet, the update likely isn't out yet. I'm using a German Moto G6 with the ALI_RETAIL_9.0_PPS29.55-24_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC firmware and it works really well.

Did you end up getting the update? Sadly the firmware isn't on lolinet yet (the hell kind of name is that anyway?)
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETEU/
Downgrading to 8.0 and locking the bootloader won't work since even an unlocked bootloader won't allow you to install older versions. I'm not sure if you can actually get OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader.
Does anyone have the OTA package? It's still nowhere to be found and Motorola support can't provide me with the firmware file unfortunately.

I've tried literally every boot.img that's available from that site and none worked. I want to relock my bootloader to give the phone to someone else who needs updates to work.

You can relock it; it's a little complicated though.

Bad key is normal. It doesn't mean anything is wrong, it just means your bootloader is unlocked. You can also take OTAs with an unlocked bootloader. The bootloader and gpt.bin refusing to flash is also normal. Bootloader's don't allow downgrades, so it keeps the most recent one. You can skip it if that happens. Just flash everything else in order. You can also downgrade. However, if you flash a firmware that's too old, sometimes the radio or touchscreen won't work. If that happens, just flash a more recent firmware. (Ex. Instead of using the first Oreo firmware, use the latest Oreo release.)
And is relocking the bootloader possible at all?

It's possible, but I wouldn't recommend doing it. If one thing about the system is off, it'll lock you into read only mode, which will brick the phone. Not even stock firmware can flash in read only. I'm also uncertain of the exact commands to do it. I'd tell you how if I knew. Motorola has their own set of commands they like to use for it.
