As far as I know 320 is 4.1 atleast on c432..

And on my c432 its a beta version.. perhaps u could try to manually flash it if u want 4.1.

I manually updated to 4.1.

After that I downgraded because I thought battery life went down but after all I changed back to 4.1 because in my opinion it runs way more smooth, and it has better functions like updated camera app!
[Mate 8 General] klekot31:
It can be a problem, because I'm new in Huawei's family. I'm using this phone since.. 5 days? I had Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and I could do anything I wanted, root, install TWRP, install ROMS, mods.. But Huawei is new for me and all I can do is reading the forums :p I don't want to loose my warranty by rooting or anything else. I was looking for some informations about it, asked few people, but I still don't know even the basics :/

here you go.
[Mate 8 General] klekot31:
Thank you a lot, but could you tell me how to update my phone with it?
[Mate 8 General] egbiestar:
U have to move the update file to a folder in your sd card.

Make a folder named; dload

After that you moved there dial *#*#2846579#*#*

In there u can use the update function.

Atleast thats how I do it.

Good luck!
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Extract the zip , create a folder name dload on the root of ur internal storage and copy update.app to this folder.turn off ur phone than press volume up and down and power together till the phone start the update.
[Mate 8 General] rhaspody:
After downloading,

Unzip the file and extract the update.app

To dload folder on your sd card. You can also use your internal storage.

Power off your phone

Then hold volume up and volume down and power button together

Keep holding until you see an update screen.
[Mate 8 General] klekot31:
Thank you guys, it worked. I made it by pushing volume and power buttons ;)

Back to my original issue-- I'm currently on L29C636B211 and still attempting update to L29C636B521 using the dload method but failed-- is this possible?

If not, how about a mirror link for L29C636B321 I can use? The hicloud link is broken

Copy the link from the application and download by using chrome.

Or here find any firmware and the latest ,just search for the nxt model http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/база-найденных-прошивок/

However, upgrading to L29C636B521 via dload still fail... I'll try to find another source other than from the Firmware Finder.
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
You cannot upgrade via dload to nougat you have to flash the update with twrp including the data zip.

[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
With all of the versions floating around, and me just sticking with official roms, I'm just wanting to verify I'm not missing

something official. The rom on mine (USA version) shows L29C185B180.

Updater shows nothing new, but I see a ton of people using B200.

Without having to screw around with the phone, is that one pretty much the "latest" for this version?

TIA
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
C185b180 is a middle East and Africa version.

Anyway C185B200 is the latest ,you can download it and use dload method to install it. It is an official way for flashing firmwares and wont void the warranty.

You can find the firmware in first page or http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/база-найденных-прошивок/?model=Nxt-l29bc185
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
Thanks! I got mine from Amazon, it works perfectly in the USA (at&t frequencies), but, if I read correctly, mine is a middle east/African version?

For L29C636, which build of official ROM is the best in performance/ power consumption / compatibility ?
[Mate 8 General] Reb0rn:
Have tried B192, B320 and nougat. Still for now B192 is the best in every way.

Nougat has BT issues but battery and camera is good for beta.

Decryption password Huawei didn't share with anyone buddy. So we format via TWRP to remove decryption after unlocking bootloader.

Hi

If you want it stock and not touch anything, update via PC using hisuit and Huawei updater

I'm in nougat by using this method, I can tell you is very very simple and safe

Basically you will be forcing hisuite to receive the OTA you want
[Mate 8 General] FloGatt:
How do you do that?
[Mate 8 General] jborbonv:
Men right now I can't explain you in detail because I'm out of home, but I followed this vid, it's in Spanish but is very easy to follow

If you have any trouble I can help you in a few hours

For c432 I think the minimum is to be at b192. And the link you must enter, took it from firmware finder and edit the last section

Any suggestions how to overcome this? I hope that I am not left with waiting for OTA only, shall I try to erase everything by setting phone to factory defaults? Could it help? Or shall I try to flash B192 that I am currently on?

Another option is back up your data.

Factory reset and then update again.

This time everything will be fine.

Then restore the back via Huawei back up

If you're on b192 go to HiCare, go set ur location to germany (atleast that's what i did) and then at the home page there should be a red dot at the update function and you should be able to update to nougat.

If you're not on b192 but b320 you have to do a

roll Back to 192.

Good luck!

Not sure if it's the same here but for mate 9 the OTA depends on the sim card.

The sim card must be from same region as the phone to get the update.

So people are buying dead sim cards and put in the phone and use wifi to get OTAs.

So if I get out my sim card, this will solved the problem?
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
You can try or if you can borrow a sim.
[Mate 8 General] gthebest:
I try it, but nothing changing : No updates available
[Mate 8 General] gm007:
Did you tried download latest full package in system update?

What the hell Huawei!

No more Huawei phones then ;)

I am using India SIM on a Chinese Unicorn rOM and it's working fine, I am getting VoLTE also.

not sure why they are limiting ota to sim and region but thats what is happening with mate 9 right now.
