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...

"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.

Hello
As indicated in the title, I have a huawei p9 L09 cust 40, the wifi and BT are not working, I don't know if it's a hw or Fw problem, so I'm trying to update to nougat or any other firmware to find out if it's a sw problem, but I've tried too many firmwares and the flashing process fails. Current firmware build number is: EVA-L09C40B196.
1- What Firmware should I use to upgrade to any other version of Marshmallow or to nougat?
2- Can I change the cust number to get more compatible firmwares and how to do so?
I've created a huawei ID inorder to unlock my bootloader, but when I try to login using this id, the site tells me that either the id or the password is wrong, while I've used this ID in my P9 without any error! what's wrong?
Regards
I had trouble with getting bootloader code too. I got my bootloader code by emailing Huawei direct through the hiCare app. Got it within 2 days. Hope this helps.
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.

I've got an P9 Plus (VIE-L09C432) and the latest update I get is B370 from March 2017. I can see from other users on XDA and Firmware Finder (FF) that there are newer updates out there. But neither "system update" on the phone, nor HiSuite finds anything newer than B370.
Why is different updates available only in some regions. Who decides this? Huawei or my phone company?
I tried updating via FF, but even though it makes the system updater find a newer firmware it failes when I try to download it. My next phone will by a pure Google phone.

The build have to be approved by Huawei in FF.
For your phone, the latest approved build are B381.
Yes, the question then is why do I never get any updates newer than B370? Is somehow Huawei or Telia (my phone company) holding the updates back?

Strange, i'm a swede with Telia...got B381 OTA weeks ago.
(it has nothing to do with Telia)
Sent a mesage to Huawei support and they asked for my IMEI number and would look into why my phone never got the updates after B370. Have not heard back from them yet, but I'm optimistic. At one time I have unlocked my boot loader and rooted the phone, but I relocked it and restored the phone via B360 which was updated to B370 via my one and only OTA received. I found I had little or no use for root on the phone.
B384 is now approved in FF. (Smooth update)
Security patch April 1

Today I got B384 as official OTA ...
I gave up waiting for the updates via OTA and just used FF, now on B384 myself.

Huawei don't give much love to us up here in Scandinavia. Well known!! and specially L09-C432.
The L29C363 seems to get more attention.
Hi
I'm unable to change the firmware on my BLA-L29 C432 B142 May security patch (rebranded from C636 about 6 months ago).
Checking OTA just says 'no updates available' and if I try to update via FunkyHuawei using eRecovery it downloads but after 'verifying' it moves on to 'recovery system running' and then errors with the message 'recovery failed' when it gets to 1%.
I've tried quite a few things to try and get something to move on, but it seems like I'm stuck on an old version of firmware and no way to change it. I need a new plan.
I've tried (with lots of factory resets and wiping cache inbetween):
- OTA updates - always says no update available.
- Via FunkyHuawei:
- Reflash same firmware (eRecovery fails during 'recovery system running')
- Reflash newer or older firmare in same region (eRecovery fails during 'recovery system running')
- Change region, reflash newer or older firmware in same region (eRecovery fails during 'recovery system running')
- Use unbrick tool to flash same or different firmware in both same and different regions (unbrick tool completes but firmware version always stays the same in about phone, the android security patch date changes though, but eRecovery won't let me reflash anything afterwards as eRecovery fails during 'recovery system running')
- The last OTA update I got was C432 .137. When everyone else was getting .145 OTA I got Firmware Finder to move me from .137 to .142.
Has anyone got any ideas on what to do next? I don't want to be stuck on the same firmware version and security patch forever.
Other than the FunkyHuawei rebrand about 6 months ago from C636 to C432, the phone is standard (no attempt to unlock bootloader, root).
I was thinking of:
- Unlock bootloader using DC unlocker (from what I've read this might still work as I'm on B142 which has a May security patch)
- Flash TWRP
- Flash a custom ROM
- Try and restore back to stock
- Possibly rebrand back to factory original C636 as there seem to be a few threads about rebranded phones not getting updates promptly, but I can't see anyone else who is getting eRecovery failing no matter what they do and no way to change firmware. I have already tried rebranding back to C636 via FH, but can't, as eRecovery fails at the same point when trying to flash the C636 firmware.
Funky should always work to update, check that DNS is correct when you enter that test site.

This will work. I have downgraded and tested it
You could do this:
Get unlock code
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904)
Download firmware update.zip, public and hw zip from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
Update to the version you want using HuRUpdater (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279).
You will stay bootloader unlocked now though, but the rest is stock.

The DNS is fine and I can load the test sites, eRecovery gets info and downloads the firmware labelled "FunkyHuawei" and the size is around 3GB. After taking a few minutes to download, the eRecovery moved on to 'verifying package', that completes, it moves on to 'recovery system running' and after it gets to 1% it says 'recovery failed'.

I will try this, anything to get me out of the hole I seem to be stuck in as all methods I've tried so far rely on eRecovery. Thankyou for all of the links.
When using HuRUpdater does it have to be in the same region, or can I rebrand at the same time?

HuRUpdater can only handle same region updates as far as I know.
You can use HWOTA to rebrand, but mankindtw (original author) has since edited the thread as he thought his tool bricked devices. But it was firmware that caused it.
And I can't remember the exact steps... You have to flash twice though, first to rebrand (example C636) and then to update to the same rebranded (C636) firmware.
https://mega.nz/#!oeATEQQb!qiP3mYlQQgZYlaS3dbY_QCwNJ-urTKyLQ2zKOA9KP8g
You could use FHRebrand tool, but it will change your bootloader unlock code so you'd have to use HCU client (DC-unlocker) twice to get it.
Also, before flashing anything, check xloader with this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/beware-bla-l29c432b147-t3817241
For now, stay on XLOADER 01 firmware. We don't know if Huawei will change to 02. Going from 02 to 01 will end in a hard brick.
B142 is 01 so you're safe now
Thanks to your advice, I have a plan now. And good to know about the xloader stuff, that could have ruined my day.
I'm going to:
1. Get bootloader code [update: done using dc-unlocker, confirmed working on C432 .142]
2. Flash TWRP
3. Put same region and slightly downgraded version of firmware on to a USB and flash with HuRUpdater (assuming it needs to be put on a USB OTG stick as the M10Pro doesn't have an SD card). I intend to use the downgraded version so I can see the version successfully change in "about phone"
4. Rebrand using FH tool (if there's less chance of bricking than HWOTA) and keeping an older firmware
5. Hopefully it works, and [after getting the bootloader code again from dc-unlocker in case I need it in future] I will be able to update via OTA to latest official firmware
Hopefully starting again completely will overwrite whatever it is that's getting me stuck.
Thanks to @ante0 I got out of the hole I was in.
From what I've tested, there seems to be an inability to update OTA from a rebranded BLA-L29 432 running 137 or 142.
Here's what I did.
1. Unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp, flashed downgraded 137 version of C432 with hrupdater. Success. No offer of an OTA update though so still stuck on old version.
2. Ran FH rebrand tool to change region to the factory original C636. eRecovery failed at the same stage as before. Fail.
3. Kept region as C636, unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp again. Flashed April version of C636 firmware using hrupdater, twice. Success.
4. Immediately on boot up phone offered to update OTA to the latest version of C636 firmware. Success.
It seems that the phone wouldn't offer an update OTA if on rebranded C432 and running 137 or later, but did offer OTA when it was back on C636. I live in Europe, but will keep the 636 region if it means I get OTA, else I can't pass the phone on.
Now to relock the bootloader so banking apps work. Plan to use the fastboot relock command followed by dc unlocker relock tool. Hoping not to brick at the last stage!
