C782 Variant stuck on December patch, never had an update. Is it possible to manually update this via Firmware Finder or something? If so how? Is it even possible to change from C782 as this variant never receives updates on any Huawei model

I've got an P9 Plus (VIE-L09C432) and the latest update I get is B370 from March 2017. I can see from other users on XDA and Firmware Finder (FF) that there are newer updates out there. But neither "system update" on the phone, nor HiSuite finds anything newer than B370.
Why is different updates available only in some regions. Who decides this? Huawei or my phone company?
I tried updating via FF, but even though it makes the system updater find a newer firmware it failes when I try to download it. My next phone will by a pure Google phone.

The build have to be approved by Huawei in FF.
For your phone, the latest approved build are B381.
Yes, the question then is why do I never get any updates newer than B370? Is somehow Huawei or Telia (my phone company) holding the updates back?

Strange, i'm a swede with Telia...got B381 OTA weeks ago.
(it has nothing to do with Telia)
Sent a mesage to Huawei support and they asked for my IMEI number and would look into why my phone never got the updates after B370. Have not heard back from them yet, but I'm optimistic. At one time I have unlocked my boot loader and rooted the phone, but I relocked it and restored the phone via B360 which was updated to B370 via my one and only OTA received. I found I had little or no use for root on the phone.
B384 is now approved in FF. (Smooth update)
Security patch April 1

Today I got B384 as official OTA ...
I gave up waiting for the updates via OTA and just used FF, now on B384 myself.

Huawei don't give much love to us up here in Scandinavia. Well known!! and specially L09-C432.
The L29C363 seems to get more attention.
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.
Hi. My P20 Pro running stock firmware (CLT-L29 C432, A8.1) is prompting me to update to version C432-FULL, when my firmware is C432... What does this mean, and what do I do with it?
Hello guys,
Quick question. Does anybody know where to get official 9.1 OR 10.0 firmware for C605 phones? My current version shows 9.0.0.263 (C605E2R1P11). I'm using my phone with MINT mobile. No OTA updates available...
Modded hisuite and huawei firmware finder
EMUI 10 for P20 Pro was not released globally yet.
Stupid question, do you have an active SIM in the phone? Initial OTA might not arrive without a SIM.
Also, I can suggest using HiSuite on a PC, it also can find new versions when you don't see OTA.
Yes, I have active SIM in my phone. But nothing happens OTA. As far as HiSuite goes, I tried a regular (non modified) version and also no updates found.
I was wondering if there are users with C605 region that have 9.1 firmware installed and how/where did they get it. I know there are some web resources that host firmware but I'm skeptical to use them without references...
The EMUI 10 you see on firmware finder is only for india region

Can somebody tell how exactly this method is used? I found the modded Hisuite and installed it and replaced files. But got No internet error. Also, not completely understanding how the FF is used along with Hisuite for installation. Thanks.
