Firmware finder - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

I have a P10 running oreo, I'm not able anymore to update my phone via firmware finder neither by proxy nor by DNS.
Anyone is having the same problem ??? and anyone have a solution for this problem????
Thank you.

It's probably because your phone supplier network hasn't verified the firmwares yet?

Many of us have the same problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/oreo-availability-t3757915/page32

all of us have the same problem.

No, I checked the firmware access and it was approved to be installed but its not downloading, I tried to download it manually and I moved it to the sd card to "dload" folder, but it didn't work too.

It's stated on FF site that Andoid 8.1 and some versions of Android 8.0 are not more supported and probably will never be.
The reason is HUAWEI moved firmware database to the new server.
The only chance now is to wait for OTA update.

The same here.
It's because the firmwares that are available are hosted on FF site, and when you start an update you're redirected directly to HUAWEI, where access is closed now.

Firmware changed to C900 ?

Hello.
I have a P9 Plus with the firmware VIE-L29C636B130. I tried to upgrade using Firmware Finder and Proxy to VIE-L29C636B202. After updating, the phone restarted and installed the update.
But, my firmware changed to VIE-L29C900B202. I can no longer see any further updates from firmware finder.
How do I upgrade to Nougat?
Any help is appreciated. :crying:

It shows you mistakenly flash a firmware from another region (cross flashing).
Just dload from you SD card, version C636B103, then you can dload either C636B180 or C636B202 later.
From C636B202, you can move to Nougat C636B362
B103 seem scarce, take it from here; https://mega.nz/#!W88SmSSa!Atlsa9G6aWcUK37KKqkLB-gz7VllP5IpyXT75k-4e5Q

Just create a free Mega account and add it to your Mega cloud. Then, download to your PC from your own account

Cant upgrade my L29-C636 to nougat

Hi... I cant find a way to upgrade sucessfully from MM to N in my device. ..
I tried both Mostar method (via Huawei Updater and via Firmware Finder) which are shown here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/easy-guide-to-upgrade-vie-l29c636-to-t3538540 :
When I try the H.U. method, it seems that the ROM URL provided is not valid, so in the Hisuite app I get "internet conection problem" message.
When I try the F.F. method, it seems that the app has changed a little bit, so I dont find the functions explained by Mostar.
I tried another method with F.F. too, by using proxy option and vpn option. In order to follow Mostar instructions I have searched the C636B320 version in F.F., but i got an error message cause apparenly that the version were deleted on the servers.
So I tried with others, (like B391, and all versions of B362 and B370, always "fullOTA-MF") but always I had issues. In some cases the new version has downloaded but at install, I got an error and nothing happens. In another cases when downloads the upgrade it stops at 70% and closes the system upgrade app.
I just search and read all in this forum, and honestly I dont understand enough to apply C432 or C20 methods to my phone version. So I ask you for help, please.
I'm stuck with a modern model phone that apparently will have an Android "O" upgrade in the world soon, but I still in MM...
Thanks in advance!
try a FullOTA-MF-PV version (VIE-L29C636B362 or VIE-L29C636B370) from Firmware Finder and proxy methode

I managed a couple of months ago to flash B362 to get EMU 5.0 via FF and worked fine.
Since then I've tried every method (except TWRP) to get to B390 non PV version.
Always get download failed...
So tried Auto DNS, Manual DNS, Proxy and downloaded files into Dload folder ... Phone updater found relevant firmware but either download failed or package mismatch or something.
B390 latest valid firmware for L29C636 so can someone tell me how to get to this version and what is the difference between the FullOTA MF version and the PV one...I think a few members would like to understand that.
you must update to other version first
try update to B370 then B380 then B390
Ok thanks to Mostar088 thread on updating from MM to N...he says
"You have to use Proxy method and the firmware must be approved. If u click Check Firmware Access. When u go to Nougat from MM u must use FullOTA-MF-PV. 2.220gb
Use B362 to install.
If u use Proxy method, in Settings enable Use Proxy for install , when it finds the update in Settings - Updater do NOT click on Update but click back one step and then click on Menu, in there choose Download Latest Full Packege.
Then click update but when it starts click Paus and remove proxy settings, then click Resume Update."
As I was on Nougat B362 and thought I was correctly using all the FF methods I noticed Mostar in his quote above mentioned a couple of steps not covered anywhere else. I followed it to the absolute letter and was finally able to update to B390 EMU 5.0.1...
Many thanks to Mostar088 as I had been pulling my hair out.

The same thing happened when I updated through FF from Oreo 158 to Pie 161, and my phone didn't brick. I think it's just an error

In my experience it´s the same, doesn´t matter. However non-approved firmware will download completely, verify and fail(not install) without affecting the phone at all.

BLA09-C432 197 just got approved in FF, so i did the eRecovery method, indeed it showed L09 , and flashed the firmware fine
phone is up, device is showing L29 , firmware 197, both sims are working
seems the update went good
197 432 still not approved for me
Says it is approved for me but the DNS changer doesn't work. I can register it but when I do the volume+ and update it says update fails and gives an exclamation mark
It is strange when I try it the dns connection works (firmwarefinder Test) but when I register the update it registers to an ipv6 ip instead of my ipv4 although I unchecked ipv6 in settings. When going to an ip website they also give me the ipv4 address. Only firmwarefinder registers it to the wrong ip so I cannot find update so strage
Firmware Finder notifies that it is not compatible with EMUI 9.
How do you guys update to 197 through FF?

maybe your FF is not latest version ????
for me it didnt notify any issue, there are two 197 in FF, one of them was approved, says its L09 but still works for L29
made the change in the router, registered the firmware and it all worked perfect

How to update CLT-L09 to EMUI 10?

I've been researching ways on how to upgrade my P20 Pro to Android 10. I've tried most of half the day trying to get my phone to find, download and install the EMUI 10 update.
Using Firmware Finder, is says my phone has been approved for the EMUI 10 update. I've tried the hot-spot first and altering the DNS, didn't work. I then tried to alter the DNS at the router, still didn't work and it continued to try and download EMUI 9 in eRecovery.
I've manually downloaded the ROM package and extracted it to a folder called Dload in my internal root storage. I'm not sure where else to go with this..... Any ideas?
P.S Phone is under contract by EE.
Thanks.
EMUI 10 was not yet globally released. The package you found with FF is for Indian region, that's why it doesn't work for you.
There are multiple threads on the forum covering this.

Huawei P40 Pro Firmware where find to ?

Hi, i've searched so much for but can't find any Firmware for the P40 Pro ELS-NX9. Does anyone know where i can find it ?
The only one i've found is from a russian server and it doesnt work says always wrong device.
ELS-LGRP4-OVS firmwares should work. I flashed ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.148 Full OTA from Firmware Finder (Download Link) using Hisuite Proxy and it worked perfectly with my ELS NX9.
Thanks i will try it.

Hey everyone,
So after bouncing around the P30P HiSuite proxy method thread and thanks to @jericho246 for his earlier post with the path to the .148 full OTA package, I have successfully flashed .148 from .136 for my EU C432 ELS-NX9 as shown below. It's possible to do the same for C605 and the other regions as well assuming you have the correct, approved firmware too. For those on C432, I feel your pain having to wait so long for a working solution as EU always seem one of the last continents to get the newest updates. So now we can have the June and July Android security patches and hopefully all the camera and other improvements carried over across, including .142. Big thanks to the OP @@SilviuO , @IProfessor and everyone from the original source as well that made this all possible for us P40P users: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...de-how-to-flash-approved-fullota-zip-t4112775
This method will also work for those coming from even older versions prior to .136, assuming you use the newest approved firmware for your region and model and that Firmware Finder says it's safe for installation. I wouldn't recommend trying to flash any unapproved versions for your device even if it might look like there's a newer version available on FF as it's probably not for your region yet!
CHECK for your approved OTA Firmware FIRST: Download and install MT Firmware Finder here to check that your firmware is approved and usable for your P40P. DO NOT try to flash firmware that isn't approved and/or isn't designed for your region as this might brick or mess up your device! For example, TN-AN00 is for Chinese region models and not for C432/C636/C605 models. Click for the Google Play Store mirror for those with working GMS
NOTE: I did not need to do full a wipe but backed up via HiSuite anyway just in case. All of my apps and settings remained intact after the update. I don't have GMS so can't confirm if that's still working though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download and install the latest Hisuite_10.1.0.550_OVE Desktop Client on to your PC (you DON'T need to locally download the full OTA as HiSuite will do that for you later)
2. Connect your P40P to your computer, making sure ADB USB debugging is enabled under your Android Dev options and agree to install the HiSuite app on your P40P when prompted. Continue with the next steps until the HiSuite desktop client recognizes your device (the app will ask you an authentication code as well if you've not used HiSuite before). Do a local Backup of all your data to your PC just in case while we're here.
3. Close down your HiSuite Desktop client and download and run the HiSuite proxy.exe (unzip all of the files first to anywhere you'd like)
4. Configure your HiSuite proxy for the suitable version and software region of your P40P. Your cust/model is shown next to your firmware build number under Software Update/About Phone.
FIND THE URL TO YOUR UPDATE THROUGH THE WEB-BASED FIRMWARE FINDER PAGE HERE (make sure you check your region and model back on the app to ensure it's definitely approved for your P40P, in my instance for my EU C432 ELS-NX9, the model began with ELS-XXX)
For .1XX -> .148 C432 EU ELS-NXX MODELS ONLY: Paste this URL for .148 in the package path: http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G5633/g1604/v434397/f1/ , followed by ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.148 as the version next to it and tick the 'Point Version' checkbox. After that, click on the Setup button to finish the proxy configuration. From what I understand, .147, .148 & .149 are identical anyway according to the update log so just edit the version number and paste the new package URL for that one instead if you want to flash another build as stated in the online Firmware Finder database above (make sure the path ends in /f1).
Make sure the output log says it's ready for installation before you proceed and don't close it (as shown in the attached picture). If it comes up with any error messages, make sure your antivirus/firewall isn't blocking it.
5. Launch your HiSuite Desktop Client again, connect your P40P and click on the Software Update option after which it will detect .148 or the build you pointed the HiSuite proxy to. Keep your HiSuite proxy app open in the background throughout the update process!
6. That's it, all done! It's worth wiping the cache partition too in Android recovery mode if you'd like as that's what I like to do every time there's a large update.
I hope this helps you all and good luck!!! :good::highfive:

One question. I downgraded my firmware to 131 to be able to install the google services. Now regulary update to the recent firmware (automatic updates through phone) doesn´t seem to work.
