EVAL09C432B166 - update to B360 or B361

Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie here so would appreciate any kind responses being kept suitably simple. I've just bought (early January) a P9 in the UK, sim free, unbranded running EVA-L09C432B166. Its last security update is July 2016.
I came to this phone as a warranty replacement for a Nexus 6P boot-looped by the December Andriod 7.1.1 update on the basis it would get Android 7.0 soon. However, there is no sign of this via the updater or the new HiCare app. I've tried installing full versions of B182 (though I might need this as a step to Nougat), B360 and B361 from Firmware Finder using the dload method (volume up/power button and dialler method) but they all fail at around 37-40%. Does anyone have any ideas whether the B166 version will ever get an OTA update to Andriod 7.0 (Huawei reply with the same general statements about it being rolled out in batches) or can advise what I am doing wrong when trying to update manually?
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks very much, but...
Hi, thanks very much for your response. Unfortunately I appear to have two problems with it.
Firstly I have been unable to update to B182, it does not appear in Hi Suite or Updater and I have not been able to update via dload as the update fails.
Secondly, I run a Mac not Windows machine so no Hi Suite for me I understand.

Im afraid you will have to use a windows machine. Following these steps you will have zero problems. I was also on B182 and all went smooth without a single problem.
edit: sorry,, I read "I have been able to update to b182". which version are you using right now?? what methods have you used to get to b182? and lastly what errors have you encountered?

I'm on B166. No update shows in update or HiCare. I have tried updating to B182 using firmware finder using. dload. I have tried using both power/volume up buttons and the dialler method with dload in both internal memory and on SD card. All methods fail at around 37-40%..
I am not an expert at all so any advice would be great, thanks.

I'm resurrecting this thread as am in exactly the same boat Steve. Did you ever figure this out?
Contacting Huawei customer services, they were cagey saying the update would be rolled out in batches then when I gave my IMEI number to find out, they became very cagey refusing to confirm or deny it would be updated at all..
Considering returning my new (cheap deal) P9 if it cant/won't be updated to N and EMUI 5.0...
S

After lots of 'pushing' by Twitter message. Huawei confirmed update process commenced in Q1 of 2017 but they would not commit to whether it would end within that period. They confirmed that my P( would be updated and that if it wasn't updated by the end of the process they would push it manually to my IMEI. SO ti does appear I will get it - eventually.

Just a little bit to add to the mix, I sent my imei to Huawei today only to be told that I'd bought the phone from carphone warehouse and the firmware id's slightly different and won't be updated until May, they wouldn't say what the difference is as my phone is still an open market version! Frustrated is an understatement I thought I was getting a unlocked phone!!! Think I'll be sticking to a Google phone in the future, at least you know where you stand!

Mate 10 Pro vodafone branded to unbranded, no vodafone customisation update or menu

Hello,
I've been tinkering with my mate 10 pro for the last few days of owning it,
ive managed to debrand the phone from BLA - L09 C432 SW Ver 124 with Vodafone customization install at the beginning, and a Vodafone entry in system settings menu.
To C432 SW Ver 127(A) although the A doesn't show, with no Vodafone bloat or menu setting
Im not sure how it worked but these were the steps i followed.
Setup the phone as per a new device and after setup their was a system update to add Vodafone customization, i did the update and then started up phone with the new Vodafone updates and apps
Downloaded firmware finder from the play store and installed that on my phone, Installed the latest update via the proxy method, the only thing i noticed which was strange, was the full ota update was about 2.06 ish gb for sw ver 127a, after it downloaded, it checked the file, then a second update for the same firmware for the same size downloaded totaling approx 5.2gb in total, it checked again and installed went fine and the phone restarted with the new firmware.
When the phone restarted it was just the same as previous with a newer firmware, including the vodafone customization in the system settings. I was then looking on firmware finder and noticed a newer ota update for the same firmware i had, was approx 500mb ish and when i did the proxy method, the phone found a newer update, downloaded the update and checked and installed and nothing seemed to change with the phone at all, just didnt show any more updates.
I was having an issue with the auto brightness with the phone, as i have posted about, so i assumed as i had done two updates thats something may have gone wrong so i did a factory reset,
I backed up the phone via Hisuite and proceeded to factory reset the phone via the settings menu. when the phone factory reset its self, i re set the phone up as per normal until i was ready to restore my data, only this time their was no Vodafone customization update and the system settings customization part had disappeared as well. leaving untouched firmware with no trace of Vodafone bloat( although the amount their wasn't a lot at all, two apps i think).
This is by no means a guide, but if it helps anyone else that is a bonus.
The original firmware finder file i used was
BLA-L09 8.0.0.127a(C432) this was dated 2017.12.15 which was a full ota this downloaded twice with a message in between checking the files about downloading a second update (toast notification)
Their was a second ota available on firmware finder but that had now disappeared for some reason now. that was also applied.
The reset never sorted the auto brightness issue i was having but my phone ended up unbranded which was a bonus.
Would also like to add that Vodafone WiFi calling is still working aswell.

Does this mean that you can use 2 sim cards now?

No, it's still the same version, it's a single sim, just a debranded firmware,

Is it snappier than the original one? I just got mine from Vodafone. I m not impressed with Ram Management. Also did you get the cash back from Huawei?
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

The ram management is a tad aggressive, but it's pretty much the same, their isn't a lot of Vodafone bloat on it, so shouldn't make too much difference, just don't like being told what I have to have on my phone. As for the cashback, I'm trying to sort it out at the minute, I never received any paperwork from Vodafone other than the delivery note, submitted that and they said it wasn't good enough, so I'm now waiting on vodafone to send my proof of purchase paperwork so I can forward that to Huawei for my cashback. Have you started yours yet.??
Also I updated my via firmware Finder to the latest version before receiving an ota, the latest version is 127a and that's been great so far.

No I was gonna contact Huawei for cash back but I haven't got any paper work apart from delivery note. Thanks for letting me know I will ask vodafine to send me purchase receipt then I will contact huawei
Mine is 0.125(c432) is this the latest one?
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

No, if you look on the app firmware Finder, the latest is c432 127a, also,
This was the link Vodafone sent me to complete, it's for insurance claims but they send you everything you need in it for the huawei claim.

Use the full ota though if you use firmware Finder.

Thanks when I click on download it gives me 3 options which one should I click?
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

The easiest way is to do it via proxy, when you check via Imei, does it come back saying Compatible, if so, just click the proxy button, change your WiFi settings and you will get an ota through your phone. That's The way I did it.

When I checked firmware access it says the firmware is not approved for installation. Is that because ai havent degraded my phone? Do I need to dbrand first and then update?
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk

Try doing it the app proxy way, thats the way I did it. The only difference was for me it said my Imei was approved for installation, if you do it the app proxy way you will receive an ota more like a standard update. All you have to do is start the app, chose the full 127a ota file, about 2 gigs, press the proxy button and it will tell you how to change your WiFi settings to receive the ota.

No debranding should be necessary to update the phone, it's the correct version for you device. The problem with Huawei it's an Imei lottery if yours is certified for installation.

I'm not sure how you do a manual update on these phones, I know you could on previous Huawei, but apparently this one is slightly different. Failing that just download it once your Imei becomes verified for install.

Firmware version / update help

So Feeling a bit thick atm.
I just bought 2 of these from Carphone Warehouse in UK yesterday for my kids birthday. They are both Sim Free unlocked, one is blue and one is black
However they are both on different firmwares ... the Blue one is on B179 and the Black one is on B115 ... also looks like the colour temperature defaults are different on the different phones.
Checking for updates reveals there are none available for either of them. If I understand this forum correctly I shouldn't expect to see any OTA updates being available since the only ones available in the UK are the ones for the Vodaphone locked versions ... is that correct ?
Am I right in saying I should be able to install the Firmware finder, select the B179 build, run the check with imei, start in app proxy, configure the proxy settings in the wifi and then follow the normal OTA update process from B115 to B179 ?
The reason I ask is because I tried these steps this morning and it failed with a checksum error. Did I do something wrong ?
Or would it be simpler to go back to Carphone Warehouse and ask for a new device ?

Managed to get it to go further trying B125 but I stopped watching and when I came back it had rebooted and was still running B115.

Talking to myself here ... finally got them both updated with a B191 build.

I would appreciate it too.

I don't think I did anything special that isn't documented else where on this forum, the trick was finding a firmware that worked.
But for reference :
* Install Firmware Finder on each phone went to settings and enabled the "Show Packages for current region" and "use simple firmware list".
* Go down the list of firmwares checking the availability with IMEI. (I only tried the ones that said FullOTA-MF and I believe the one I got to work was the on that was 105838 but I'm not 100% sure on that)
* Find one that that says "Firmware approved for installation models for installation: PRA-LX1C432B191" NB there were a couple that said PRA-L31-hw-euRA-LX1C432Bxxx as well but the B125 version I tried said that and failed to install.
* Press the in app proxy button
* Goto phones wifi settings, long press the network you are connected to and modify the settings -> set proxy to localhost port 8080.
* Go to the phones settings -> update firmware page and update as normal.
Extra credit step :
* Once the download has started hit pause then go back to your network settings remove the proxy and then resume the update download. (this was due to reports I'd seen of troubles downloading via the proxy and one attempt I'd made that ended in failure due to a checksum error which is basically a download fail)

Do you have dual SIM?

Huawei Mate 10 EMUI 12 using HISUITE / Hisuite No Internet connection solution

I successfully upgrade my Huawei Mate 10 using Hisuite.
At first i encountered multiple No Internet connection on Hisuite.
I tried reinstalling the Hisuite proxy and Hisuite app but to no avail.
But i managed to download the EMUI 12 using DNS server.

Does anyone know how to get this working for a C636 region ALP-029? I've been stuck on EMUI 9 (officially) but I want to revive this phone since I like the form factor... I

There are no updates availble when using hisuite- that is the issue. I've tried all different versions of hisuite and nothing pulls the update. In the firmfinder tool there is an EMUI 10 update for the C636 region but it never gets offered. There seems to be no EMUI 12 update for that region code yet, either.

Question Oppo Find X3 Pro stuck on ColorOS 11.2

Hello there🖐️I own an Oppo Find X3 Pro (model CPH2173), the phone was purchased from Italy in summer of 2021.Since November/December 2021 I haven't received any security update. I tried all kinds of methods, VPNs, factory reset, but nothing worked.
Currently the phone has Android 11 based on ColorOS 11.2. Btw I live in Romania (Est Europe), I use the phone with a romanian SIM card.
Any idea what I should do to get software updates?
I can install an update manually if anyone got a download link.
P.S.: I saw someone from Maroc with the exact same problem as mine, but I think that post was deleted.

Sadly, for me the Oppo assistance said that this OTA issue is related to my carrier and my carrier said that their customer service is only open for SIM card or line issues. So I'm following each post in this thread too.
I'm in France with a french refurbished phone and RED SFR operator.

Yeah I tried that oficial Oppo app, but it didn't work.

Make sure all Apps are.up to date
Check for Google-Play-System Update as.well!
-> Password and Security
1. Disable WLAN
2. App-Managemt:
-> Show system files (3 dots)
-> search for update.
-> Delete data in the 3 showd files
3. Reboot
4. Wait 5 min till the phone is fully loaded.
Check WLAN is still disabled
5. Check for Update without VPN
6. If without succeed use VPN France and check for Updates
7. Still without success contact Oppo
BTW is this the tool ?

Yes, it's that app. I already did what u said there and I got nothing.

I solved the same problem by taking it to the Oppo service center, the phone was updated and returned within hours

I'll try to do that
