Flashing an OTA Update - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I got myself a P20 Pro C636 currently at firmware 8.1.0.152 patch 01.
I'm a huge fan of the Mobile PUBG Game and if you've been playing the game you will realize that the new addition Sanhok map introduces "Rainbow artifacts" all over the map. It somehow ruins the gaming experience for me.
Last I check with firmware finder, Huawei actually releases a patch for that, called patc03 for the firmware version 8.1.0.152.
Does anyone know how I can update to this patch manually, without waiting for the OTA update from Huawei? It will be very slow in my place here.
My phone is currently bootloader unlocked. I tried checking HuruUpdater but it is only for FullOTA-MF firmware. Anyone care to share some information into this?
Thanks!

New version C02B397

http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=89545&version=348048&siteCode=za
This is for GRA-L09. I have not flashed this yet. I am on C432 so I assume a cust change is required for this version. I am still downloading so I am unaware of the content. It seems to be a full version.
please update here on your result
Edit :
after i google it, this is official android marshmallow update for Vodafone
That's correct. C02 is Vodafone. I have downloaded it. Inside hold only update.app, so a rebranding process would be required before this can be successfully flashed. Also, this doesn't seem to be very new seeing that it was released 20 Sept. If I get any more information on the rebranding process, I will add the detail here. For me, this particular version may be useful because it has been released for my specific network.
changelog?
I don't have a change log
The only other version available to my regional for any operator was C02B397 which is what my phone had preinstalled. Based on this, I would assume (perhaps a bit reluctantly) that this may specifically require that version to be on your phone. There is no migration package at all, which could possibly mean that this cannot be installed over marshmallow or even other versions of lollipop later than 5.0. Again, this is just assumption. There is no change log available that I can find anywhere.
Version B390
As seen in HTCMANIA, a spanish specialized forum, an user, when looking for the complete B382 ROM in Huawei Software Finder, found a B382 complete version that actually is B390, with December 2016 Security Patch.
Does anyone know something about this? I couldnĀ“t open a new thread due to my post number.

Updating L09C440B138 to B139

Hi all.
I'm a fairly new P9 owner with moderate android experience. I'm not totally up to speed with the Huawei build numbers. I'm currently on C440B138 and using the firmware finder I see B139 available for my device. This should I believe update the device to 4.1.1.
The phone is on UK network EE and is on contract (network locked) I would have thought that I would see the B139 update on the phones internal updater but I get no updates available.
What do you think the risks are if I just go ahead and update to B139 using the firmware tool? Am I likely to end up with a useless phone if I use that update. The plan would be to update to 139 and use the method on here to update to EMUI 5.
Or do I wait and hope that EE releases 139 and the EMUI 5 update at some point in the future?
Additional - Does anyone know if EMUI 5 includes the adoptive storage feature?
Many thanks

In the web i see other relases abou b380 with nougat..i try to update but i t fails.. ..pffff

P9 EVA-L19605 nougat update help.........

Ok I have a P9 EVA-L19C605 that's currently on MM B135. No matter what I do I cant seem to upgrade to nougat and what makes it more frustrating is that when I check the firmware finder application, I'm seeing nougat updates. Heck, i'm now even seeing B380. Whenever I try to use the firmware finder to send the update to the system updater, the update is a mere 1.4 gb or there about. I seems as if I'm not getting the region package in the update(and yes I chose download full package).
When the update completely downloads, it gets an error at verifying and then reboots( this also happens with the huawei updater/hisuite method). I really would appreciate any help, from anywhere or from anyone with the same phone model. Another thing i'd like to note, it seems that EVA-L19C605 is the Latin American model.

New P10 VTRL09 question

Hi, just purchased a SIM free P10, from UK,firmware is C432120. Latest security patch is 1st March 2017. Is this really the latest update as nothing found under software update. Many thanks
The newest firmware version VTR-L09C432B180. You should get the updates within a couple of days or weeks. If you are impatient you can use Firmware Finder to update. The instructions are on the Guides forum. The updates improve your battery and overall performance, and introduce new features.
I have used the firmware finder app, found the latest version and downloaded (gone as far as extracting update.app) to the root of the SD card, but fails at 5% installation. What would I be doing wrong - its so strange that its not finding any update automatically (still on VTR-L09C432B120) whatsoever as its unbranded? Any help would be much appreciated
Ah, you are impatient
First, you need to check if the firmware is approved for your device (allow FF to send your IMEI). If it says it is approved, change your proxy settings and start the update in settings. After it downloaded 1%, pause the download and set your proxy settings back to auto. Resume the download and you should be fine.

Rebranding P10 with EMUI 8?

So, to get EMUI 8 I had to rebrand my device to L29C636, and it worked fine until B361 , the last two updates (364 and 365) it refuses to update, if I search with FF it tells me the firmware is not valid for C636, but if I try and check the same firmware with C432 (I believe it was 432, my memory is not great as it used to be) it says everything is cool and I can install it, but for that I need my device to be rebranded again.
I was searching for few hours today, and couldn't find anything useful the last version of HWOTA is a year old and does not support EMUI 8, I did managed to get up to date twrp but HWOTA I have doesn't detects its booted to twrp. Multi-Tool 8 does not support P10 L29.
Security is a great deal for me and a lot of the recent fixes apply for me and it's really getting frustrating that every single important update I need to break my head to install it.
Does anyone have up to date guide for this device? I think my next step will be to check how it handle a meeting with the wall at high velocity...really getting annoyed with this Android sh*t.

Maybe you should roll back to Nougat, rebrand and then update to Oreo...

the method posted doesn't work, it can't flash twrp and the process ends there.
