Receiving Official OTA Updates after using Firmware Finder - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

Have you received any official OTA updates after using Firmware Finder? I have been using FF for 3 months now and as I can see it does not work on Android 8. Will I still receive OTA updates without using FF ?

[SOLVED] Question about firmware found with Firmware Finder

My P9 Plus is a VIE-L09C25B100 and I downloaded the app Firmware Finder to check if there was any update for my phone since I couldn't find any OTA update. The app found the firmware of the screenshots and I'd like to know if it's a safe FW.

Hey man, and no, nothing, zero. I guess I will stay with B100 for a while.
Just a quick question, do you know the actual page to unlock the bootloader? I have tried with a couple of links posted here and they take me to EMUI 5 web page and I know the other way is to pay to get the unlock code.
Thank you for helping me again lol
Everything is clear now, closing the thread.

No more update higher than EVA-L19C432B386?

Hello,
Huawei stop to build any new update for EVA-L19C432?
There is no more update from so long time, security patch of Android is so old from April 26 and also the Android version is so old (7.0).
This model has been drop and will not get anymore any update? They stop to update and prepare Oreo version for this model or was forget? Have someone some more information or some new firmware update unlisted on Firmware Finder?
Thanks

Count yourself fortunate, I cannot even get Nougat 7 on my EVA-L29C636. Seriously though, almost all flagship android devices will get, at most, 2 major updates. The P9 was shipped with M and most (not me) have N now. That will probably be the last.

stuck on the same version, firmware finder does not show anything newer either.
Never buying this trash company again and already telling all my friends to do the same.
Was able to install EVA-L09C432B391 with FF DNS method on my dual sim EVA-L19C432B386.
However device shows still old build number, but security patch level is Sep. 2017 and moments is available in camera app
I have managed to update to C391 on L19 but it shows C386 as before. I believe there is another small pack we need to install to show the actual firmware.
388 available for L19, it's the same as 391(L09)

Would you like to elaborate?
Did you flash the oeminfo partition before? I've tried mostly what I've thought about, but can't flash B390 onto my P9 dual sim. Same fw. EVA-L19C432B386.
Thank you.
I was able to flash C391 on my L19 using firmware finder and proxy method. It did not work in my case using DNS method. I did not flash oem partition, just the full 2Gb OTA, straight up.
I get unauthorized every time.

I assume you are Romanian and you own a dual sim L19C432.
I now see that even L19C432B390 appeared few days ago in firmware finder, but nothing in regular hisuite/settings update - still on L19C432B386 officially

L19C432B388 is the last approved firmware.
B390 is not yet being approved to masses, only to test users.
Proof:
I am not getting even 388 though - through regular Huawei/settings update still nothing. Only see it in FF.

I installed EVA-L19C185B395 on my brother's p9 yesterday via firmware finder and everything was running super smooth.

Two months ago when I shortly experimented by debranding L09 to L19 last OTA update for L19 was also b386 for me
Nevertheless, you can update to later unapproved builds by HWOTA method

From my personal experience... You probably have re-branded EVA-L19C432. Original still receives an update, however, if you have re-branded (as mine.My original EVA-AL10) it all stoped at EVA-L19C432B386.
and even if you try to install higher update via SDCARD it will fail.
You can try to download partition table for EVA-L19 and flash it on you phone using dc-unlocker Phenix52 software, then fix your IMEI with HCU Clinet , then you will be able to flash updates manualy higher the 386 but it cause issues with calls and reception on your cell phone..

Nobody can...
The problem is you cannot flash anything higher then EVA-L19C432B386 on re-branded phone.. Unless you have some magic or DC Phenix creators team creates full image from latest firmware...
Issue solved. I re brand to eva-l29c636 and all works as it should. All updates installed until aug 2018...

It takes nearly a month after showing on Firmware finder. So minimum 3 weeks bud.

The whole official OTA-update policy seems a bit random to me. Living in the Netherlands, i got B121 out of the box, but received no official OTA's after that. So I used FF to upgrade to B130. After that, I received B131 automatically on about the same day that FF listed it as 'approved for installation'. So a month later I expected to receive B132 shortly after listed as 'approved'. But that didn't happen. I waited another month to see B133 being listed as approved. So I checked for an official OTA in the system updater. Was not available, but when I checked 'Download full package' in that same updater, the FULL-OTA of B133 popped up, so I installed it.
Anyway, I do have the impression Huawei has improved update policy. I see more OTA's popping up on other devices in my house than before.

Can I ask what that firmware finder is. I'm new to honor devices as a whole I gather it finds firmware but is it for desktop or online site.
Edit: found what it was a useful app

Pie update has been rolled out and you'll get it within this week as it is rolled in batches. But if you want to try it right now. Just install the beta version.

Hi m8,
You can't install ANY files from Firmware Finder. That site/app for us, P30/P30 Pro users is just to see when the new firmware for us is released. You can check for HiSuite or eRecovery to see if it's available for your device. If not, you will need to wait for a whille untill your device got whitelisted o Huawei update servers
