Hello,
when I try to install an update with firmware finder on my huawei p10 it marks me failed, why?
Even when I try to update manually I can not do it.
I have not received an update for a year, while there is at least 5 updates that have been released since
Did you ever rooted your phone?

Did you choose the correct model and firmware inside Firmware Finder? Ist your bootloader unlocked?

Maybe you're out of space. This message comes up in recovery or while downloading?

When you're on warranty then send the phone to Huawei. If not I can only suggest to do a factory reset. With an locked bootloader your possibilities are very limited.
If even the EMUI updater won't install an update then it's a software fault - and to fix is isn't possible for us normal users.
If you unlock your bootloader your phone will do a factory reset automatically.
Maybe after a factory reset the update process works, maybe not.
But, as I already said, your possibilities are very limited.

And still no changes? That's very weird.
Does it work when you remove the contents of HwOUC on SD or Internal Storage? This will remove all downloaded update files.

Hi everyone,
I've just bought an used HTC One M7 that was locked to Three UK but I managed to get it unlocked via a code from ebay. The phone is on 4.1.2 and the recovery mode shows S-ON, LOCKED so I'm guessing its all stock. The CID is H3G_001 and the OTA updater keeps saying that I'm already on the latest update. The phone isn't rooted either. I've already tried resetting to factory settings but that didn't help. I've had a look at RUU's but couldn't find anything for Three UK/H3G_001.
Could anyone tell me how I could get the Sense 6 update? I've tried clearing the data/cache in the updater and google services framework but still nothing. I don't want to tamper with the bootloader etc if possible.
Thanks,
Anthony

Updates are dependent on the carrier for carrier locked phones. It is possible that H3G has not updated their phone. A lot of people will S-OFF their phone to change their CID & MID to get the updates quicker by going to either the Int'l (.401) version or the DevEd (.1540) version which are updated directly from HTC. Your version is .771. For carrier updates, you must remain on the carrier's network to receive them. Check with H3G to see if an update is available and when or if you can expect to receive it.

Hey there, thanks for your reply.
I've had a look around the internet and I've found the OTA update zip for my phone from 4.1.2 to 4.2 (1.28.771 to 2.24.771), then another one OTA zip for 4.2 to 4.3 (2.24.771 to 3.62.771). However the issue now is, I can't flash it using the stock recovery as I have S-ON I believe and it throws back an "invalid operation" error when I try to apply an update via internal storage. I'm trying to get S-OFF but I'm not having any luck at the moment, as ideally I don't want to mess with the bootloader. I'll give it another go tomorrow, given up for tonight.
The phone is for my brother and he's fine with 4.1.2/Sense 5 tbh but would like Sense 6 features if possible.

OTA update is flashed in stock recovery. Here is a post explaining the OTA process. This post might explain what you are missing for the OTA to work. I think you must select from "internal storage" instead of "sdcard" when you install the OTA.

I've tried following the process but it just gives a "Invalid Operation" message when ever I select from Internal Storage. I'm losing patience with this, why can't OTA just work.
Thanks for your help anyways.

Try following this post. Make sure that your version number matches exactly the second version in the file name. Change the name to "update.zip" and place in the SDCARD.

Yes you'll need to unlock the bootloader.
As for the update itself, I use the method here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Originally written for the mate 9, it's been updated for the p10.
It will also debrand if you want to go to C432, and/or update to any rom.
It will wipe your phone though, so backup anything you need to your external sd card.

Yes, technically, but it can be relocked. Indeed the method I linked to above relocked my bootloader twice when I was rebranding to C432, although I don't know if that "restores" the warranty.
If you didn't want to unlock the bootloader, then you'd have to wait for the update to arrive via OTA as a "normal" update from Huawei

So I tried FunkyHuawei to downgrade from pie beta to official. Now i'm bricked totally. Only getting into fastboot and are not unlocked. My guess is i'm screwed. Can't access Erecovery neither. Stupidity pays it price.
Any ideas at all? Cant really do anything, and the screen is all black too.

What model do you have (rebranded or not) , what firmware did you choose on funky site?
If you still can boot into fastboot mode funky should be able to recover it.

This thing remains mystery to me.
I have literally the same model, and I've downgraded from Pie (both beta and stable 163) using the same method and firmware several times. I've never had any issues. In the changelog for rollback firmware you've chosen you can find:
"1. Please make sure you are currently using the official version of Huawei EMUI, and that no unofficial updates have been installed. Otherwise, there will be risk of an unsuccessful rollback, and an unknown error may occur. 2. Make sure that the current version has not been unlocked or rooted. "
But since you've never fiddled with your handset, never unlocked your bootloader this warning shouldn't apply to you.
Have you tried flashing pie again via OTG?
I would but i cant access recovery. I mean the otg is ready to go..i tried several firmware
from funky with same error when flashing recovery. I usually solve bricks but this got me :-\
How about extracting the erecovery source from the update package and try installing erecovery via fastboot instead of hisuite?

My case is similar. I downgraded from B195 to rollback B161. Now I am literally doomed. No erecovery, no huawei logo, just plain black fastboot screen. My bootlodaer is unlocked and I'm unable to relock it. Huawei is denying service, is there any way to revive my black dead phone???
twrp.img gets flashed succesfully but doesnt boot into it.
I can only speak for BLA-L29C432B197 (Probably B179 too), but I assume this will cover any Pie firmware released in January.
In these releases Huawei disabled custom kernel, so phone won't boot with a custom kernel flashed.
This had me wanting to downgrade to B161 where it does work. So I try with NoCheck, which is fine to update with, Software install failed.
I try with FH (I happened to have a credit left) HiSuite method, Software install failed.
I tried with Dload package, same result.
So I figure I can use Rollback, as it worked fine on Beta to get back to Oreo with it...
It failed after 7% (or so, I didn't actually watch), device reboot to a black screen. Fastboot was working though.
So it most likely only flashed Oreo bootloader, and device was hardbricked. I managed to get it back using test point and IDT, this will void your warranty though.
So, do not downgrade using NoCheck recovery and rollback package, it's not worth the time to get device back.
Edit: Downgrade from Pie B197 to Oreo B157 is fine using NoCheck.

And probably will also require spending money on other tools. Backups are also important, so people with rooted devices should use Partitions Backup (by wanam) and backup nvme, oeminfo and modem partitions.
As for downgrading with DLOAD or HiSuite we have no idea if it will work or if it will brick. Original recovery/eRecovery might have a fail safe mechanism.

Yep. Same NoCheck.img.
Edit: well, unless that nocheck is for p20... That might be why.
I will compare them.
I can confirm that in connecting my ALP-29 to my Windows 10 PC with HiSuite, I get offered the choice to roll back to Oreo. But the small print warns that your device should not be rooted or unlocked. I'm happy with Pie, so I'm not tempted to check whether this works without bricking your device, but just letting folks know about the purported option. Presumably if you try, you should at minimum unroot first......You also will be factory wiped.

B150, the rollback version. I figured that would work as it is a rollback. But I should maybe have gone with B158.

B150 was the roll back from Pie Beta. According to FF, I think that B156 and 157 are the roll back from official Pie.

B157 should be the roll-back version. But a P20 Pro owner bricked when downgrading with HiSuite, with a completely stock device, so....

All versions of EMUI10 that I've tested so far, force locks bootloader. So don't install if you don't want to get locked. I guess if you have beta access approved you can downgrade back to 9.1 using HiSuite.
I have to downgrade using testpoint
Fastboot will still say you're unlocked but the command fastboot oem lock-state info says it's locked. Downgrading back to 9.1 will give back the unlock status, apparently. I guess they just add something to lock even if you're technically still unlocked. And the command to unlock through fastboot is removed so no way to unlock it again. I hope it's just locking for the beta.

Like @ante0 said in the previous post, we already have the links for the updates, but so far all of them will trigger the bootloader lock, so unless you don't care about it, you should refrain from flashing EMUI10.
If the final release won't change this behavior, then probably Huawei has decided to lock the bootloader for good.

I prefer to wait. If you 2 will find a good solution to maintain boot-loader unlocked, I will follow it.

Downgrade to EMUI 8?
Well, if you do like me you have to as I have to flash board when BL is locked.
If you mean to keep unlock it won't work. Update from Oreo to Q directly will cause problems, it did for me when going Oreo to 9.1 anyway, and system update actually forces you to flash the latest stable 9.0 (9.0.0.197) to update to 9.1.0.300 then to 9.1.0.306.
And it's not like it's using a function to lock BL like they do when you flash a dload firmware. It's probably still unlocked but something changes it to locked. Iirc you could unlock using TP before, but now it refuses as USERLOCK is changed to unlock as well when you use testpoint, so it will just say "Phone is already unlocked", before it only changed FBLOCK to unlock.
But we will see what happens
@ante0 @Pretoriano80 : just in case I would install this beta from FF. What install method I have to use?

Installing with no-check recovery should work just fine, but you should also flash the new CUST and Preload.
If you really want to flash it, i can send you the link with the latest build (B140), but like i said, it will lock your bootloader.

You can use the 3 files tool (skip the rooting part, of course) from here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/tool-emui-9-0-to-9-1-upgrade-tool-t3949867 <- and replace the nocheck.img with the one from here (tge no verification version) - > https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/recovery-nocheck-pie-t3950037
Make sure that the downloaded firmwares are not corrupt, otherwise the installation may fail, because the no-check recovery will skip the integrity check.
I will send you the update files in PM.
i'd like to have a link for the update files aswell please, on firmware finder PC version there's only 10.0.139

It doesn't really matter. When you flash it you won't be able to flash any newer ones as you won't be unlocked anymore, and can't unlock again either without downgrading back to 9.1.
I would wait until official to see if forced locking remains or not.
