Hi there,
i bought new Zenfone 5 with Oreo and updated OTA up to Pie (WW_16.0615.1903.92).
Higher Version was not offered with OTA. Therefore I updated to latest Pie by transfer into phone memory (WW_V16.0615.2005.130) which was succesful.
My intention was to root with latest clean firmware using Magisk-Manager and adb flash.
Unfortunately both Asus unlock apk from their website are not working (message: "unknown network error, please try again later").
Is it not working due to Pie ?
Is it possible or helpful to downgrade to Oreo?
Any idea how to solve it ?

Hi,
I've just bought another Z2 pro and have been trying to update it the latest MM version which I believe is 2.3.044 but can not find the update option in the settings.
It is still on stock with with locked bootloader.I want to update before unlocking the bootloader then on to Lineage 13.
The current ROM version is 2.1.120 with November Security patch.
Edit:
I used the SD update method but it half bricked the phone.
Then used the QPST/QFIL one.Flashed the 2.1 stock rom.Once rebooted the Update option was there. Without the need for VPN it OTA updated to 2.3...
Big thanks to this guy.

Hello
I just bought the z2 Pro and same issue, no update in the settings. I followed your steps but wondering. Is the 2.1 you downloaded international? Do you have Google apps in it? I don't want to root, just want an updatable official international rom...
Thanks!
As far as I know non of "store"multilanguage roms have an update option. In order to get it you have to flash stock (1.9) one and follows OTAs from there.
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 ?

Hi, unfortunately my p10 drop on the floor from an high of 8 cm... Yes almost 4 in an the camera now has a strange yellow border. Of course this issue happens only on the color camera. The b/w camera works well.
The problem is that I have unlocked the bootloader. Can I do something to prepare the phone for rma?
I've the original oem info and of course the unlock code.
Thank you in advance
Maybe downgrade to nougat and then ota update to oreo will help. When I made debrand had unlocked bootloader and frp. Then did ota update to oreo and now have bootloader and frp properly locked.

What guide should I follow for this?
For debrand I used this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/huawei-p10-debrand-rebrand-update-guide-t3691013
but I was doing it on nougat and I am not sure how it works with downgrading from oreo to nougat.
If you are already on oreo (and C432 region) you could try to use this guide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286
tutorial 2 to flash the first full-ota oreo 8.0.0.360 from: http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database
but here is question to @Jannomag if it's certain that the script will work from newer to older oreo version. If so then try to use HiSuite to downgrade to nougat (for .360 it should be possible when hit firmware update -> switch to other version) and finally do the ota update to oreo. Be aware that I am not absolutely sure it will work, just suppose it should.

Downgrading to a lower version as Dec2018 security patches can be indeed a problem but this shouldn't cause a brick. The updated should fail flashing /kernel and /ramdisk from update files.

I tried to flash B365 oreo over B384 with tutorial 2, update started as usual then reached 100% and phone switched off totaly. Now looks like bricked, can't switch on, charging doesn't work, when connected to pc system shows unrecognized USB SER device. Is there any hope to unbrick it?
I have the same. Send to warranty and they fix this by replace the Motherboard. Now i can't unlock bootloader because no offical codes and DC unlocker not support newest security patch from Huawei. Otherwise Phone works fine and i have extra warranty to 2022 .
I updated my Huawei P10 to 9.1.0.275 since a user claimed the latest update fixed the video camera (ongoing focus pumping). A false claim, was not fixed so you cannot use the video camera.
Unfortunately I cannot downgrade to Oreo anymore. Latest possible rollback is 9.0.1.185.
Does anyone know how to downgrade to Oreo again?
Many thanks

Hi!
Anyone with a working solutions?
I've tried to downgrade with hisuite, but work only to downgrade to 9.0.1.185. After that, only option is to update again to 9.1.0.252.
Thank you!
Install HiSuite latest version.
- Select Update
- Select Earlier Versions
- Downgrade
Downgrade rule: 9.1 => 9.0 => 8.0
Hello,
In order to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM, I need to downgrade from Android 10 beta to Android 9, since the latest beta doesn't work with the official ASUS unlock APK.
Problem is, when I try to flash the Android 9 image, I get the same error whether I try with adb or with the internal tool.
The message I get is 'This package is for "WW_Phone" devices. This is a "" '. Error status is 7.
My phone is neither unlocked nor rooted, so I don't get how it's not recognized.
Any help?
Auto-solved
FYI, if you try to downgrade with the android P image found on the asus website, it won't work.
You have to download the image with file name starting with Q_P_UL...
we"re facing the same problem i can't downgrade my phone i forgot to unlock bootloader first. please help
You don't need to unlock the boooader for a simple downgrade. If it's still locked dowoad the image starting with Q_P... then put it in your phone's root folder.
can you please give me a download link for the Q_P_UL file tho
