I debrand from L19C605B135 to L19C636B150, after I update to the last MM firmware L19C636B190
I notice that exist two B361 (Nougat) firmwares in Huawei servers, the first have 29 december date and the second 30 dec date.
The first firmware changelog, explain the Nougat OS, etc etc.
The second firmware changelog, include power consuption y UI improvements.
I update to first Nougat firmware (29 dec)(with Huawei Updater tool), L19C636B361, all ok, camera, keyboard, etc etc.
Now, I want apply the second update (30 dec), exist posibility of Full or OTA update in Huawei servers.
The Huawei Updater tool read the new firmware but the HiSuite tool present the message that not exist new firmware version. I try it with two posibilities, FULL and OTA. No luck.
I downloaded all zips, for FULL and OTA update.
For OTA update are three files (update.zip, update_hw_spcseas.zip and update_data_public.zip)
Note that dload method not guarantee correct full aplication of firmware update, in the update.zip exist UPDATE.APP file, but exist several more files, in the other zip files include several other files too.
Here the question, How can I do it? help me please
Exist some method for apply these zip files, like the official Hisuite tool do it?
Thanks a lot.
Bro, how did you manage to update or b190 to b361? I can't understand how to use huawei updater tool. Is there any link that you can provide on how to use it. Thanks!

Refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/p9-7-0-nougat-update-eva-lo9-b182-t3539754 second post.
Very important paste the correct URL of the firmware (example, L19C636B361, etc)
No bootloader open or root privileges required.
You can find a huge list of firmwares from russian web site: hwmt
Search in google. The warehouse firmwares here in XDA is incomplete.
I cant paste complete URL in the post, I dont have privileges still.
Another way is use the "firmware finder" app. (works searching in the russian web site I think)
Others instructions that apply the UPDATE.APP file directly, not is correct, these update is incomplete and sure that several things doesnt work (camera, NFC, etc etc).

I just want to ask, if i update my p9 using the Huawei updater tool method will I still receive OTA updates?

I don't know, but I think OTA updates should be received because bootloader has not been opened, stock recovery.
I have a SIM free UK P9. Early on in its life it received updates happily but I have still not received Nougat and I'm still on the September 2016 Security Patch from Google. I've never rooted or tampered with the device, so where are my updates? Are Huawei simply too busy with other phones to bother updating flagships from only last year?
It is unacceptable to me that a £450 device from a manufacturer purportedly looking to compete with the big guns in the premium phone space cannot be bothered to keep its older handsets up to date. How is a user supposed to put his trust in a company when they seem to forget about their older devices once newer ones are released onto the market?
Meanwhile a friend of mine with a SIM free Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (!) has June's security patches.
Small wonder people don't take Huawei seriously. This P9 is a lovely device with great battery life and is still (for my usage) an excellent handset; however I will not be buying another Huawei until I am confident that they are willing to maintain support for older devices. So far it seems that some people in different parts of the world on various carriers *do* get updates (or at least have more recent ones) but Huawei seem incapable of rolling them out consistently and across the board.
Disappointing.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this? I don't wish to put Huawei down too much as I think they bring some interesting things to the market but one of my biggest bugbears is where manufacturers forget that after-sales support and updates are some of the things that contribute to people's perception of a company. Might as well just buy Doogees and Vernees off Banggood without it.
Don't wait huawei to send update,use firmware finder from play store,or dload method,or hisuite method,all these methods are officially safe and keep your warranty. What your build number ?
Build number is EVA-L09C432B182.
I'm not really into flashing ROMs these days as i don't want to mess anything up. I don't want to flash firmware that isn't UK SIM free either, and if I haven't had that update OTA then I assume it simply hasn't been released.
I don't have a PC anyway as I sold my Surface Pro and now only have a MacBook.
Use firmware finder from play store,and firmware finder proxy,it is the easy way,only search for the rom u want and let your system update search for update by using proxy,if from MM to nougat u will not loose anything.
You'd have to guide me through that step by step as to be honest I don't entirely understand anything other than the bit about using something from the Play Store
OK so I worked this out. The only firmware it says is approved for my device is the next up on the list - EVAL09C432B330-LOG.
This downloads fine through the stock Huawei update menu (as if i am just doing a normal update) and the phone reboots but then the installation fails, whether I choose the full package or standard update option.

do you have a way to get the files from firmware finder onto your SD card? If so create a folder called DLOAD on the root directory and then put the update file in that folder. Power off the phone and hold all three buttons (power and vol+/-) until you get the firmware updating screen.
Let me know if it still fails.
Thanks. Will doing this cause any mismatches in future and stop me being able to receive OTA updates, or affect Android Pay?
I have put the update.zip in a folder called dload in the root of the SD but neither the boot method of installation nor the dialler method seems to find it. I've tried with a different update.zip with the same result

Who told u that??, incorrect my friend,extract the update.zip and put only update.app inside dlod folder in the root of your sd card,it is explain hunderds of time everywhere
Hi, this isn't all that clear in the other instructions I've read, and historically flashing update.zip from the root of an SD card is quite a typical way to flash software, so you can understand the confusion!
Are you sure this will work? Other threads online indicate that flashing is much more difficult than this and requires unlocking the bootloader. Am I missing something here?
I also tried this but failed on my phone. I put the update.app in the dload folder but always fails after about 14%

after you download the zip file and then unzip it. Put thr UPDATE.APP in the dload folder on your internal memory. and then perform the update.

Just to let you know, after downloading a bazillion files and trying every method under the sun I finally got this to work. It is now running B386 firmware.
Using the manual update method didn't work for me; the steps I had to follow are as follows:
With Firmware Finder, choose the B386 full OTA package - check for compatibility first (it said mine was compatible with it) and choose to install via proxy. Set up your WiFi to run the localhost/8080 proxy settings as instructed by FF. While the file is downloading, remove the proxy settings from your WiFi, allow it to reconnect and continue the download.
I then just left the phone to its own thing. I was actually watching a video in the background when it rebooted itself and began the installation process, which didn't fail as I expected it to.
Everything seems to be running fine now.
Thanks to the person in this thread who suggested using Firmware Finder.

Didn't work, managed to get to B360 but now Huawei apps are missing including camera
goto b300 then b182 then follow above instructions , and rtfm
skip 361 and goto 378 via hisuite update
I just want to confirm i have the latest building number. I have a European model using it in Canada so maybe the updates arent pushing to the phone? Im currently on VTR-L29C636B120
Last for your model and market version is 162
http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=vtr-L29C636&firmware_page=0
I have stock VTR-L29 model, BL locked and b151 is the latest for me.
It lools like we need to wait for some time until new update is available through OTA
For anyone looking to update to L09C432B162 the latest on Firmware Finder, I can confirm I just did it and updated with no problems via proxy. I choose the FullOTA-MF version.
The responsiveness and transition between screens is so much faster than my previous version (B113) that I would recommend everyone to make the jump if you can.

No, if you use Firmware Finder app (download from Google Play store), you can use the official update functionality in your phone settings to get the update.
It tricks Huawei servers that your phone is ready for upgrade to this firmware version. So you are downloading the official firmware file from Huawei, and it should install like a normal OTA update. No data loss, no settings loss.

Yes but you must use Proxy method. This ist the only was it Works for me .Another Thing is, IT will only Works when Firmware Finder dass that this Update is approved for installation

Question: Is there a way to downgrade from latest update to the previous one without root? I'm on a mobile data plan with my network and rooting the phone will compromise my warranty if in case anything goes wrong.

sorry my fault..i updated to 164 with the full firmware package from the site i mentioned, andf then after first boot i got OTA to 171.
When updating using Firmware Finder FullOTA (in-app proxy), do you need to be fully unrooted (stock kernel and recovery) for this to work?
Asking, because I plan to try this update method from B165 to B172 on my VTR-L29C185 and wondering if this process keeps the user data intact or it means a full reset later regardless ... can anyone confirm user data can be preserved with in-app proxy method? Does the BootLoader stay unlocked too?
EDIT:
all went well as per update itself via in-app proxy detection method ... however had to use FullOTA package to successfully install it and that I think re-locked the bootloader, oh well, at least it worked fine

for L09C432 is the latest B201, for L29C432171 according this site pro-teammt.ru.
But hte update is rolled out on very strange key...some countries have it, some operators don´t .... don´t know. So i always download the latest for my phone L29C432 and flash it trough HWOTA.

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I'm amazed Huawei can't help me update.
I'm in UK, and still on MM. I updated by forcing it from 182 to 210 but I want to avoid breaching warranty by installing twrp.
It's working fine, I am happy with battery life, I just wanted to get the current stable version of Nougat.
Huawei suggest continuing to wait. Any other options for me within the warranty?
Well its simple... Manually ....

You mean the hisuite download?
No i mean manually. Root debrand, download manually firmware and install.
Hi, I would recommend using firmware finder from the play store and installing using the in app proxy method. It's always worked perfectly for me on any of my Huawei phones.
Just make sure you use the download latest full package option in system update by selecting from the three dots
Exactly but sometimes its not working so he better change DNS
My phone is second hand, seems to be debranded, L09C432B210 forced by putting the update.app in dload. It doesn't work for B360.
I have unticked unlock OEM.
I have created apn for proxy setting, and once L09C432B360 Fullota-mf-pv is downloaded, I'll install it via in app proxy.
Thanks for the explanation. If I have misunderstood please let me know.
L09C432B360 2017.01.05 failed the imei check. I'll try another version 2016.12.23 which passed the check.
In app proxy hasn't been successful on my current settings.
The default apn for ee is greyed out so I made a fresh apn with localhost server, without the mms or security settings.
Update, dload folder, update.app method failed after 5%
I found a way to change dns without rooting, installed dns66 and applied ff change dns setting.
However though updater finds the right file, and I can connect, it doesn’t install. Either download fails partway, or install fails.
Is persistence the key, or should I try another file?

You have to do all the procedure mate. and i mean ALL even de-branding again to C432 because seems your provider gave you a touched C432 firmware. Which means unlock, debrand relock , update.
Now follow one of these guides on how to upgrade your phone.
use search or use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
PS: Next time your posts on guides and not on general topics
I received OTA updates bringing me to b395 Nougat. No unlock or debranding necessary
I ran the Firmware Finder tool today and was surprised to find there was an update for the P9. Apparently it has some security patches. The firmware finder tool has instructions how to upgrade, but they're somewhat involved.
I'm currently on EVA-L09C432B504, and I've checked but there's no OTA update available. Is there a way to do this update manually? I've read on this thread these instructions - is this likely to work for this update?
Download the two files, update.zip and update_data_full_hw_meafnaf.zip, do not unzip, put into DLOAD folder on your SD card.
Phone better to be charged, switch off, disconnect USB, press and keep pressing both Vol+ and Vol-, then boot - it should start DLOAD

Pure DLOAD applies only to FullOTA-MF-PV, b506 is without PV
Check Firmware Access Availability in FF, if it shows Approved for your SIM, you could try if HiSuite or eRecovery give you a chance to upgrade (I don't believe it will work yet)
Otherwise, with unlocked Bootloader and methods like HWOTA/no-check-recovery, you should be able to force DLOAD to b506
Thanks @zgfg. In Firmware Finder it says "firmware approved for installation for 506".
I ran eRecovery yesterday but it started to download the 504 version. Would it look on the SD card somewhere for an updated version? If not, can you give / link me to a bit more information on how I would use HiSuite to do the update?
I see in another thread that Android 8 is available if you jump through many, many hoops. Given the age of the phone I don't think it's worth the bother.

If using newer versions of HiSuite, somewhere at the bottom (HiSuite window on PC) you have an option to install different firmwhere, and there an option to upgrade (and sometimes to downgrade).
But if eRecovery does not offer you b506, Im pretty sure HiSiute would not either
Unfortunately HiSuite doesn't offer an upgrade. The "System Update" is the only control I can find, and it says 504 is the latest official firmware. Seems odd that I have the latest firmware but can't install it.
Any ideas @zgfg , or anyone else?

True, I might not bother. Appreciate your pointers, I'd have to go work out what the acronyms stand for and how to do it - all this kind of thing isn't very well documented, as the people who understand it describe it in a way that they understand, rather than for beginners. Better than nothing though
