Hello! My girlfriend p10 last software is vtr-l09 8.0.0.369(c432) from May 2018. It doesn't have root, or anything related. Fukky stock!
Can someone explain me how to force updates, or how to manually install them considering that everytime I search for new updates it tells me that I have the last version?
Thanks for your help
Hello
Order Giffgaff UK SIM Card it's free delivery 3-5 days. Insert to phone (must be only one inserted if you have dualsim Version). I have problem with updates in Poland (C432 wariant P10). On My country SIM no updates, when i insert UK Card in system updates very fast i have update ready to install. Without bootloader unlock code is no other ways.
Download huawei firmeware finder and update vie Recovery. (you need a router and wifi for that)

Hi guys/gals,
So currently I'm stuck with firmware PRA-LX1C432B172, after forcing the update using FirmwareFinder (else I would be stuck at B161). But there are a few new firmwares available (B179 and B181 for single sim and B180 and B182 for dual sim).
Is there any way to force the installation of those firmwares? Because huawei keeps on having new builds and those builds are not made available through OTA updates or even have authorization for install.
The Mate 9 guys have a patched erecovery image that allows them to skip the authentication.
Note: I've been able to install dual sim firmwares on my single sim device (without enabling dual sim) because most firmwares include both a PRA-L11 and a PRA-L31 data package.

I've tried the eRecovery trick, it downloads the firmware and in the end gives an error and doesn't allow the firmware to get flashed.
Are there any hardware differences between the P8 Lite 2017 Single sim and Dual sim phones or is it all software differences?
Hi,
End of January I bought a P10 SIM free from a major UK retailer.
It is stuck on March 1st 2017 updates, with no updates available.
I contacted Huawei support - they say my IMEI should be on B162. But I get no update OTA, and even through the HiSuite app it says I have latest.
They said I have to send the phone back for 2 weeks and they will factory reset and upgrade. This is unbelievable to me.
They told me if I use the firmware finder app I would void warrenty. But I thought if I do not root and install the authorised firmware version (B162) then they wouldn't know or it wouldn't be a problem.
I am a little confused by the number of different firmwares in the app, many with the same version number. How do I know which to use? What is the difference between OTA-MF and FullOTA-MF (from the sizes I guess full is full and other is incremental).
Will any of them get me back on the official upgrade path, or if I do this will it be manual updates forever from now on?
Do I have to root to install the firmware from firmware finder (I think not?)
I always thought people who focussed on stock android were silly, and I quite like EMUI but I am really regretting buying Huawei now.

depending on your CUST code you'll have to claim contact to your brand... I mean if your rom is "customized" by the carrier is not only Huawei but also the carrier who has to work on the update the other option depending on your model is to Debrand and change the firm to L29C432 and get the updates of the official but be careful about bricks or Sim detection problems...read all threads talking about debranding and go ahead if you feel confident to avoid a brick

Thanks. It is retail SIM free non-branded. Ie just bought from a store nothing to do with any carrier. I don't really understand the difference between L29 and L09. Mine shows L09 at the moment. Are they different hardware versions?

Hardware is (almost) the same. L29 allows to use both sims in the sim tray.
Just to update.
I used Firmware Finder to install B186A update. Worked perfect and have January 2018 security patch level.
The more recent B185 firmwares are rollback firmwares for downgrading from Oreo. Check the release notes carefully and make sure you chose an upgrade firmware (not a rollback firmware) that is authorized for your IMEI. (For me B186 was not approved but B186A was).
None of the Oreo firmwares were authorized for my device.

Were you able to simply download the firmware from Firmware Finder and install directly? Were there any other steps you had to follow to do this correctly?
Reason i ask is that i am in same situation as you were. Purchased Sept 2017 via O2 in the UK, no updates at all (still on L90C432B113), contacted Huawei and O2 about Oreo with no possible updates and showing March 2017 Security Patch Level.
Getting sick of waiting and looking to move to Oreo as soon as possible.
Any tips would be helpful - thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.
I was on B120 with a Serbia certified P10.
I installed B186A from Firmware Finder. (at the time I did it B185 was not approved). Its important to do the check with the IMEI number within the app to see if the firmware is signed for your device. I did the proxy method, where you set the proxy, pause download at 5%, unset proxy and it worked very smoothly.
I think the main thing is to make sure you chose an upgrade firmware and not a rollback firmware. They are not labelled clearly and the only difference is in the readmes so check carefully. There are a few more recent B185 firmwares which I found confusing, but they are for people who need to rollback from orea (and so reset the device).
A couple of days later I got Oreo B365 over the air (not through the app). Upgrade went very smooth.
Big improvement in battery life and overall performance better all round.
With Project Treble in place I hope updates will be quicker, and maybe even easy to install stock one day.
My P10 have the code VTR-L09GBRC555. I'm currently on B152, and I'm curious if oreo is available.
Firmware finder say that L09C432B360 is compatible.
There is a way to rebrand without bootloader unlocked?
Thanks
No, I am pretty sure you must rebrand first. Apparently unlocking bootloaders does not seem possible at the moment, so you will have to wait.
HUAWEI UK told me that the update for my device has been released on 13.04 and I should wait
Hi,
Has your phone updated yet? I'm also on L09GBRC555B152. Firmware Finder showed a new B360 update on June 1st, which then changed to B365 on June 2nd and now is back to B360, but neither of them are authorised for my IMEI and regular Software Updates shows no updates.
An update to B360 has just popped on my phone through regular OTA
Can I ask what UK provider you're on?
On VTR-L09C440B171, EE UK, no Oreo updates so far.

Dear xxx xxx,
Thank you for the provided details.
We have checked in our sytem and based on the IMEI number, Android Oreo has been launched for your device this month. You will receive it soon, through OTA by a notification on your device. To check the available updates, the available tips: Settings> Update*system> Search Updates.

You can try the Firmware Finder App. It has a proxy and DNS feature for OTA update. Worked for me for not released B370.

I unlocked my bootloader directly on there site last Friday so it's still a viable option ?
Hello!
Got my phone today and am trying to update the firmware. I see that there are 2 newer releases of firmware verse what is currently on the phone, but trying OTA does not find any updates. Firmware finder tells me "firmware not approved for installation" for everything.
This is a Latin America region phone that I am using on Tmobile in the US.
I tried resetting the phone to factory and updating without putting a SIM in, but it made no difference.
Has anyone with this build received and update via OTA?
Any help would be appreciated.

I ended up paying for funkyhuawei. It did work very easily.
When I was traveling in Australia I purchased a Nokia 8(TA-1012) in April. I was using with Telstra sim. After I purchased, it got update from 7.1.1 to 8.0 with February security patch . I was expecting to have 8.1 with April security patch. I decided to try with a Finnish sim card. After I install Elisa sim from Finland it got update first March then April security patch. But didn't receive 8.1. I reinstalled Telstra sim and keep using my phone. Now I come back to home, Turkey and keep phone with Finnish sim Elisa(Nokia 8 is not my primary phone).
Still no update to may security patch and 8.1
What's wrong? How can I update this phone to lastest software

Unfortunately, what you experienced is the same problem that effects all the majority of Australians with android phones.
You may be able to use the same technique I use (in Australia) to get OTA updates which is to remove the SIM, disable location services and use a VPN to get updates

I am having issues with the WiFi on my TA-1012. After I've done a Full Wipe Data via Recovery Menu, the camera update was done. Maybe you could try this. Unfortunately, my WiFi problem still persists
