Basically I've followed a few different methods and got it to work.
Using the firmware finder apk I downloaded the B182 (full) rom.
While this is downloading... Using es Explorer or similar create a folder called hwff in the root of your main storage.
When it has finished downloading...
Check the md5.
Unpack it.
Move to dload.
Then turn it off.
Turn back on using the 3 finger method.
This will then install B182.
Note: when it reboots it will stay on the Huawei red logo for a few minutes.
Let it finish and you will have B182 working.
***********
Now to update to B361.
I used the combination of Huawei updater 2.0 and HiSense to update.
It found it with no issues and I just left it to update.
**********
Update to B378-FULL
This was simply an OTA update through the normal Settings > Update menu.
Fairly painless, just time consuming really.

Man the update path on these huawei's is killing me. I've only just taken the plunge. Accidentally turned my c432 into a c900 by double flashing a b166 rom. Took me best part of a day to get it back to c432b166!
The amount of slow crappy downloads we have to make in order to make incremental upgrades. Is there not a way that we can just go straight into a later build without all these rollups?
You can just use the proxy install method within the Firmware Finder app, its very easy.
Just google "how to. using firmware finder youtube" as I cant post direct link, then 99% of the work is done for you
Hutchism: Sadly not, from what I've seen you can only jump to Nougat from B182 and nothing earlier - Don't ask me why... Makes NO sense!
Natchi: The proxy install method did not work for me. That's why I did it the way I did... All I know is that it worked and I'm running Nougat.

Hi there, followed your first step with no issues - finally on B182! Struggling to find the B361 update using Hisuite (windows PC), HiCare (app) or the Update app.
Any advice on how to do this? What is Updater 2.0 please?
Thanks very much!
Sam
Hi Sam,
You can find the updater here;

Thanks,

A lot of users are saying they got an update with August security patches and other improvements.
But now it's almost the end of August and I haven't have got any update after the July update.
Build number: LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675)
Varient:Indian
Any help?
1.) Is your boot-loader unlocked ?
2.) Do you have a Custom Kernel or Recovery Installed?
3.) Are you Rooted?
If the answer is yes to any of them then thats why your not getting any OTA's, If Yes is on 1.) then simply issue the fastboot command to relock the device "fastboot oem relock <bootloader-code>" If its yes to 2.) / 3.) Then your going to need to flash the phone back to stock before then relocking the bootloader.

1) Was unlocked
2)Had TWRP
3)Was rooted
I switched back to stock because of constant bugs especially the camera(what's the use of keeping a camera oriented phone in the pocket if it's camera is of no use?)
I'd used HuRupdater to flash the firmware. Now bootloader's relocked and everything's working fine except updates.
I think I flashed the wrong firmware maybe ( I forgot the build number so had to guess. I was sure I had an LLD-AL10 and that there was a C675 and 8.0 in the build number. I matched the changelog with that of the last update I got and then I kinda found out that everything matched to LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675) )
Would one stop getting updates if they installed wrong firmware?
Everything works fine except updates.( And the bootloader 'relocked' status in fastboot).
Should I just flash the August update with HuRupdater( that's gonna be a lot of hassle as I have to unlock bootloader and do all those stuff) or can I update via any other method?
Right you can use Firmware finder on your phone which is a good start.
So using FF select then next version up from your current and only select a OTA-MF, then make sure its for your phone by clicking check firmware access.
If its for your phone then simply use the in-app proxie and connect to a wifi point. Once you have done this edit that Wifi via Settings and change the Proxie to Localhost port 8080. Then go the System and Update.
Now it should download the small version OTA to your phone and reboot to try to install it, it it goes thought and installs without error then great, if it errors out when you boot back into android it will offer the Full OTA without using FF to which will then flash proper without losing data then see if OTA's work after that.

I checked and this is what happened.
FF detected my phone as LLD-AL10C675
The latest update that's is approved is
LLD-AL10 8.0.0.181(C675CUSTC675D1)
It is B181
But that update is from June. So I searched for LLD-AL10 and pressed ok , so that it shows all firmwares for lld al10.
And I think I found the one I have currently installed(build number and changelog matches) LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675CUSTC675D1). It is from 11/7/2018. Everything above says either firmware not approved or has a wierd term cn in the available models section.
This is something I quite don't understand. When I check firmware access it says lld-al10:all-cn.
I think cn stands for China.( Uploading screenshot)
Would it be safe for me to install the update?
Also is it necessary to download the update just above the one I have installed now or can I skip to the latest one?
Sorry if that's a lot of questions.
I'm in a tight corner now.
I can't get any updates using the dns method or the in app proxy method.
This sucks as I was able to get an update using the dns method 3 weeks back. I didn't install it. I checked for updates, it showed updates, then I stopped dns and things went back to how it was(no updates ?). Today I tried again and nothing happened.
Crazy phone?
Are you selecting the smaller updates as it will not work with full ota's any more.

I tried it with both the small one and full ota update
Well it worked for me from going from LLD-L31c432b133 to LLD-L31c432b136 as the small OTA came down failed to install so then it downloaded the full version are you sure your setting the WiFi to use the proxies using localhost and port 8080?

Yup I'm sure I did those right. I tried both the VPN and proxy methods. As I told VPN used to work.
Anyways I'm gonna wait and try it a few more times. Then I might use HuRupdater.
Thanks for your replies man ?

OMFG bro I fixed it.
You see Huawei had rolled out an update for the 'system update' app through playstore. I had updated it. And after I uninstalled the update for it, things are starting to work again ?.
Only 3 questions remains.
1) Can I install firmware that is not approved?
2)Is it necessary to install the update just above the version I
have currently installed?
3)Is it okay if FF says it's approved but has the part LLD-AL10-
all-cn:all ?
Does the cn part matter ?
Would be very grateful if you could help
1) Yes
2) No
3) CN= China. Personally I wouldn't, plus I don't speak Chinese , why would you want to ? I also like having full access to Google playstore.
On an aside, I'm beginning to get the impression you won't be happy till you really brick your phone . :laugh::laugh:

I have tried this procedure more than three times and it just doesn't work. I have the same model version C432 and the same firmware B133. I even downloaded the full Ota file and tried through SD card update ("#" #2846579#"#"), still nothing. When I connect it to Hisuite it says that I have the last official version. Any suggestions?

I used the FF app on mobile then used in app proxie connected to a wifi point and edited the connection to enable proxie on localhost port 8080. I also only downloaded only the small OTA, however it will fail to install then once you rebooted back into android go system update and then press the 3 dots and go for Full Download that will fix it.
Just a point you may have the same Firmware even the same model but they are not made equal.
Also check Google play store app for Huawei System Update it should look like the picture that's attached then click uninstall and reinstall install the app too before starting as reinstalling that app can help alot.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.
So Ive already done all this because it may be related but no luck.Last time I used FF was to get the B133 which already didnt work on the 7th August,I then uninstalled the FF app,stopped the proxy localhost etc. and right after that I did the update check through system update and the B133 FULL was offered to download,so the B133 was made properly through system update right after all the procedure with the FF.

Try uninstalling the update for the system update app then use the VPN or proxy method.
Maybe the update just hasn't reached you like me.

I'm currently running ALP-L29 9.0.0.109(C185E2R1P8log) and i'm trying to install ALP-L29 9.0.0.159(C185E2R1P12) though system upgrade option, but when i'm trying to upgrade it shows system update error message and the upgrade does not executes.
Do i need to roll back to 8.0 version first? This beta that i have now installed will detect someday the new version and upgrade automatically ? the device is already unlocked.
Please advice.

I'm not sure which method he used to update his phone, but you can use eRecovery method of FunkyHuawei if your phone is not unlocked with bootloader. I used it to update to 9.0.0.108 (mine is C636), going to update to 9.0.0.159 tonighf. Check the attached image, it shows the available Pie firmwares as mentioned.

Since Huawei stopped the bootloader unlocking service, and I got my phone recently, the method of unlocking the bootloader is troublesome and kind of costly, so I decided not to do anything with it. With FunkyHuawei's eRecovery method, you can update your phone to any firmwares available on their site even with a locked bootloaded. It is quite easy, you should take a look at it. If you decided to go with them, I'd recommend you to back up your data (HiSuite might not be able to restore app data) before updating. I had to factory reset the phone after the update because the phone might have some glitches. Really, I'd recommend this method, it does cost you $18 but it gets the job done. You can PM me if you have any further question.

I had an error while trying to update to 159 via eRecovery method. The computer does not recognize the USB connection. Couldn't fix it myself so I contacted FunkyHuawei and they advised me to do HiSuite method and it worked. I thought I had to downgrade to Oreo first but I just left the 159 on and it could update. May be that could be your solution too.
Thank you all, i have unlocked, rebrand and install Pie my device using funkyhuawei services but since i ran out of credits i want to be sure that if i renew just 1 credit to download the new firmware i can do the upgrade directly from my pie old build to the new one without issues instead of purchase more credits if i have to execute more tasks.
I've manage to download the new build from another site but as i mentioned as im trying to installing using the hidden menu it does not work

When is mate 10 (Alp-l29, c185) receiving emui 9 in the middle east?
Hi I am desperate to receive emui 9.0 after seeing many sites claiming the beta for middle east varients.
I joined the beta program few months ago but misteriously got kicked out or I must say the "my projects" tab was empty a week ago. I would like to know when actually huawei will roll out and OTA update for the mate 10, thankyou

Regarding to OTA, FH told me that we might be able to receive (this build is a legit build from Huawei anyway), but we have to wait and see. I notice that Huawei sends out update at different times to different locations for the same model, hate it. Mate 10 pro is on build 161, but Mate 10 is on build 159, so I guess we have to check FH once in a while together with System Updater. Actually, FH released official Pie updates before Huawei officially announced Pie update schedule, kinda strange though, many have a conspiracy theory on the relationship between FH and Huawei
I think the ROMs provided by FH are stock ROM, that is why we can update the phone through Huawei methods and not third-party ones. Let me guess, you did a factory reset after upgarding to Pie? I had this problem with beta version, and it is an issue with Pie builds, according to FH. If you want to downgrade to Oreo or another build, you have to do it via a specific HiSuite version, to me this way is so much faster than eRecovery. I can provide you the software, but I'd suggest you to contact to FH first, they told me that the reason they don't publish this method is because not every one's issue has a same cause. This is a last resort.
Hope this'd be helpful.

Dear,
They also told me that they didn't stop OTA updates, it's upto huawei to send OTA updates, I hope so it will be like this,
Yes I did factory reset after installing the Pie on my phone, because it was little slow and glitches. No ERecovery is not working to go back to Stock recovery. Can you please tell me that method to try it. Which version you are talking about for HiSuite. I want to go back to the Stock ROM and to receive updates via Huawei OTA. Its very strange to me, that updates are available in the market for the phone, and Huawei not sending to their phones, and also someone like(FW) able to update the phone, something is fishy. May huawei becomes more professional in doing promises.. and satisfy their customers more.

Yes, I also got glitches and many time couldn't turn on the screen, that is why I had to do it. I uploaded the HiSuite version here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NYsPYS6aB1BHaf1p5F_mJJJQMOSc0lql/view?usp=drivesdk
Uninstall your current HiSuite, install this version and follow the same steps (DNS) with FH but without eRecovery.
Not so sure about the stock recovery as you mentioned, but may be what you need is to downgrade to Oreo. I checked on FH and they have a new firmware for downgrade purpose, I don't know what is the difference though. Good luck.
Just received a patch for build 159 from Huawei, so I think OTA works normal on FH's roms.
Finally, ALP-L29 9.0.0.159 officially launched here in Saudi Arabia, and I was not satisfied with the FunkyHuawei software. So decided to downgrade my phone to Android Oreo again, and then update officially.

I ran the Firmware Finder tool today and was surprised to find there was an update for the P9. Apparently it has some security patches. The firmware finder tool has instructions how to upgrade, but they're somewhat involved.
I'm currently on EVA-L09C432B504, and I've checked but there's no OTA update available. Is there a way to do this update manually? I've read on this thread these instructions - is this likely to work for this update?
Download the two files, update.zip and update_data_full_hw_meafnaf.zip, do not unzip, put into DLOAD folder on your SD card.
Phone better to be charged, switch off, disconnect USB, press and keep pressing both Vol+ and Vol-, then boot - it should start DLOAD

Pure DLOAD applies only to FullOTA-MF-PV, b506 is without PV
Check Firmware Access Availability in FF, if it shows Approved for your SIM, you could try if HiSuite or eRecovery give you a chance to upgrade (I don't believe it will work yet)
Otherwise, with unlocked Bootloader and methods like HWOTA/no-check-recovery, you should be able to force DLOAD to b506
Thanks @zgfg. In Firmware Finder it says "firmware approved for installation for 506".
I ran eRecovery yesterday but it started to download the 504 version. Would it look on the SD card somewhere for an updated version? If not, can you give / link me to a bit more information on how I would use HiSuite to do the update?
I see in another thread that Android 8 is available if you jump through many, many hoops. Given the age of the phone I don't think it's worth the bother.

Thanks @zgfg. In Firmware Finder it says "firmware approved for installation for 506".
I ran eRecovery yesterday but it started to download the 504 version. Would it look on the SD card somewhere for an updated version? If not, can you give / link me to a bit more information on how I would use HiSuite to do the update?

If using newer versions of HiSuite, somewhere at the bottom (HiSuite window on PC) you have an option to install different firmwhere, and there an option to upgrade (and sometimes to downgrade).
But if eRecovery does not offer you b506, Im pretty sure HiSiute would not either
Unfortunately HiSuite doesn't offer an upgrade. The "System Update" is the only control I can find, and it says 504 is the latest official firmware. Seems odd that I have the latest firmware but can't install it.
Any ideas @zgfg , or anyone else?

Read my previous answer, with unlock bootloader, HWOTA method
But why bothering only because security patch
True, I might not bother. Appreciate your pointers, I'd have to go work out what the acronyms stand for and how to do it - all this kind of thing isn't very well documented, as the people who understand it describe it in a way that they understand, rather than for beginners. Better than nothing though

Use TWRP for P9 Nougat from the same thread, OP post #1 (not some others like from the official site, etc)
If you need more (unlocking Bootloader, flashing TWRP, please search on XDA)
Edit: Btw, you have also Xiaomi Mi 9T?

Thanks @zgfg, I appreciate the link and information.
I had a 9T. The fingerprint reader is so awful I sold the phone at loss and moved back to the P9.

Yes, unfortunately fingerprint reader on Xiaomi Mi 9T is TOTALLY USELESS. First and last Xiaomi phone ever for me
As per title, or do you have to downgrade to version 10.
Thank you.

Thanks for that, at least it's 'in the works' unless what he's doing in Chinese and at super fast speed is knocking it back to EMU 10 first?
Anybody speak Chinese
Extremely fast! Does anyone know English?

video has english subs , on which you probabnly can workout howto
I can confirm it works. Just installed GMS on my M40pro+ following the exact instructions in the video. Of course, the speed was set to 0.25, but it is very easy and intuitive.
I'm on Emui 11 and just tried to roll back using the tutorial. Unfortunately HiSuite_10.0.0.510_OVE doesn't seem to be compatible; Trying to connect the phone to hisuite will try to install hisuite.apk on my phone.
However, I get a message that this apk version is incompatible with the phone. Hisuite on my phone will not run as I can't grant location privileges.
Trying to install the latest hisuite.apk doesn't work either. I still get prompted to install the version that comes with the pc version of my hisuite.
Any solutions or alternative ways for me to get version ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.131 on my phone?
Edit: I just installed the latest Hisuite versions, this gives me the option to rollback to Emui10 v176. I'll try further from there!
Edit2: I was able to roll back
Installed the older Hisuite version and was able to roll back to 131
googlefier went well too, now waiting for OTA updates
My phone updated automatically to m11 and my Google stuff still working.
Hello,
I am planning to install GMS on my P40 Pro. I am currently on EMUI 11.
The thing that worries me is the problem with notifications after GMS installation.
Which notifications I will not receive and is there any way to fix that?

Hello mate.
im in the same scenario, im trying to downgrade but i cant, i just installed latest hisuite version but it doesnt gives me the option to rollback ¿where do you find this option?
Thanks
Edit: found it!, just click on "system update"and theres the option to downgrade, on hisuite v.11.0.0.500 ove, thanks for the info bozdyg
Someone in Asia has found a definitive solution for installing gms, with all notification working, and device certified but well they're pricy enough, and looks like they won't share their method anytime soon. But based on evidence, I guess their method is using another microG like services, and then modify Google service apk

On my computer yes. But i can't get IT work with this video tutorial.
Evening all.
Bit confused on this thread as topic is getting gms on emui11 but half the people are talking about downgrading to 10 to then do it.. Is the vid of the Asian guy doing it def from emui11? I'm currently running 11.0.0.168 with no attempts yet at modifying anything to get gms and wanted to give this method a whirl. Anyone else have luck with it on 11.168?
Cheers yall

I also tried this video with the Chinese guy, I put English subs and lower the speed and here I come. but it didn't work.
I have Huawei P40 Pro (ELS-NX9), I also got stuck in the early stages. When I suppose to restore the old back up I also don't have "Restore from internal storage". I saw it's possible to restore with Hisuite when the phone is connected to the computer so I tried that but this particular restore file from the package you download but the hisuite can't find it, so it's either the IMUI version I have (11.0.0.151) or it's because I have P40 Pro... I was hoping to get it done without downgrade the phone, sadly I guess there is no choice...

In the same boat. I'm on a P40 Pro Plus ELS-N39 Firmware EMI 11.0.0.168(C636E2R1P3).
Willing to give it a try. What could go wrong right? It's got to be safer than the downgrade route. Wish there was a simpler solution or the ban on Google lifted so Huawei can resolve this properly and officially some how. I'm using Gspace which is fine for most things but having all the bells and whistles of google play etc. would be worth the attempt imo.
