Device: vtr-l09 ( vtr-l29 firmware)

Nothing you can do. Just wait for the update, don't try other tricks because you might risk a brick.
Stay safe, wait for the updates to come via updater .

It seems there are updates bu I'm stuck on B170

Hello,
I have a PRA-LX1 C432 unbranded and the updater keep saying I have the latest official update B170.
Using HFF we can see B181, 183 and 191 for C432 model. But... making a system dump of these builds we can see that there is in build.prop "generic_15" as phone model...
So I didn't install anything...
- Are the builds from HFF trustables ??
- Is there a way to force the update?
thanks!

I wonder if we will see 8.0, I think all the different build numbers are region based I wonder if any of the p9 lite Roms would work as technically same device PRA-LX1 isn't it

But there are more than one build 181, do you know which one you installed ?
your device name continues to be PRA-LX1 or moved to "generic_15" ?
Anything consistent in this update ?
thanks

Installed the FULL-OTA 181, and after that name didn't change to generic, stayed PRA-LX1... B181

Problem is that HFF gives a list of something like 5 packages Full OTA for PRA-LX1C432...
Don´t know the diferences between packages ...

you can try using Firmware Finder Free. its available for download it from Play Store
Mine is stuck too not haven't received a single update since I bought it still on emui 4.1 FF is useless it donwloads the update just fine but it always fails on the installation at 1% my build N is VIE-L29C605B131.

What country/region are you from?
What is the present firmware version B160 dated?
Firmware Finder (FF) (online version) shows B150 as the latest, so FF's probably not going to help you unfortunately: http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VIE-L09c627&firmware_page=0
Your only other option may be to convert to another region's ROM, which has received regular updates - e.g. Euro C432 ROM (latest is B382, dated March 2018). But, it's a risky procedure which involves unlocking the bootloader, rooting the phone, changing the vendor country info with SRK Tool, etc, etc.

Which update did you try? If you're still on 4.1, then you should try a much earlier update (i.e. the very 1st 5.0 update) - I'd recommend one of the B361s from here (or via the FF app): http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VIE-L29C605&firmware_page=0
Always download & apply the FullOTA-MF, in this case ~1.3Gb file size.
Once you have installed B361 successfully, try the B381 update (not the latest B382 as it will not work at this stage most likely). Again, download the FullOTA-MF (1.4Gb) & apply it.

I tried all of the full OTA on FF all them download just fine but every time the phone restarts to install the update for some reason it fails at 1% of the install.

try B202 first
I had an P9+ B130 version and was able to upgrade to B202, which is needed as a stepping stone to MIUI 5. I used FF with the proxy update scheme. The B202 update worked while other versions stopped at verifying the update, which is just what you experienced.

I'm out of luck then it seems that the B354 update is no longer available on FF which is the "steppingstone" in my case.

Firmware Finder's approved firmware fails at each attempt to update

I'm having a problem updating firmware from AL-AL00 8.0.0.128(SP2C00) to ALP-AL00 8.0.0.129(SP2C00) using Firmware Finder. The firmware says it is approved. I have the vpn running and when the update is completed it fails after the reboot. And I have tried the FullOTA and both OTAs but the end result is the same.
Try with HuRUpdater :

Thanks oslo83. I have now managed to update the firmware via Firmware Finder. Not really sure or understand why I wasn't able to before. Perhaps the firmware takes time to get to my region.
firmware finder usually is approved by the time the normal OTA is installing....Had the same problem,and suddenly ota said there is a new version at the same time that firmware finder wanted to install.

If you're willing to get/already have Magisk, there may be a module we can try to see if we can get it working

easy way to fix this is flash the same ota version you are using rightnow, then after flashing flash the new firmware available. happened to me before in 129 firmware. after doing the said steps 129 was installed without any error

Version downgrade

I have searched everywhere but I didn't find a reply to my question.
A couple of days ago I have updated my phone LLD-L31 to the version 8.0.0.132 through Firmware Finder (it worked for me with proxy method) then I decided to revert back to the previous version 8.0.0.131. So I started reading guides to install a firmware on Huawei/Honor devices, I have downloaded the FullOTA package version 8.0.0.131 with Firmware Finder, placed it in the folder dload on my SDcard and started the intstallation in the project menu (accessible digiting *#*#2846579#*#* in the dialer), it started but suddenly it ended with a message "installation failed".
So my question is: how can i revert to the previous version of the software (or to the out of the box firmware installed on my device)?

You should have an option to downgrade in the about section/ the update menu of your phone if you did it right.
Otherwise you may need to use the HuRupdater Method.

Thanks for your reply!
I don't have this option, but if I remember well I hadn't it also in the previous version of the firmware.
So i can't install a previous version of the firmware simply downloading it an putting into dload folder of the SDcard?

Can you please specify why do you want to roll back?
Because most people just wanna upgrade to a newer version.Newwr versions will have better stability so it's recommended to keep the latest version unless you have some bugs.
I honestly don't know why the dload method doesn't work, seems that it doesn't work for most people.
I think you'll be able to roll back using HuRupdater. But that'll mean you'll have to unlock bootloader and flash twrp first. Then you can go all stock from there.
Here's a guide to the HuRupdater from @zxz0O0

After installing the version 132 I asked the technical support through HiCare and they told me that installing firmware with Firmware Finder could void warranty so I decided to revert to the previous firmware and wait for regular OTA by Huawei.

I'm not sure but I think you are on the latest build for your varient now so you won't be getting any updates untill a next build comes in.
I don't think you'll be able to roll back without the firmwares from firmware finder as you don't have an option to roll back.
The best option now would be to just wait for the next official build(might come soon as a small ota which has security patches) and then check if you are facing any issues installing which you won't as you are not rooted and dosent have an unlocked bootloader. So don't worry ?
