Does the dload method work with mate 9 ?.I heard rumours that it doesn't.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] sceryavuz:
You should try, I don't have..
[Other Tools & General Discussion] djg269:
Unfortunately the dload method didn't work for me with approved firmware B370 for P10 ?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Vageesha:
As I know right now huawei is checking the firmware whether it's a local update or not.Then they block it. Another thing,Can you pls tell me what files should be in the dload folder ?.I have downloaded 3 zip files.As I read the file is UPDATE.APP.But it's only in 1 zip ?.Also it's created in 2009 :confused:

edit:- Have you tried dload method with latest firmware in any other huawei phone ?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] sceryavuz:
If you want to update anyway you should try HuRUpdater

Unlock BL

Flash TWRP

Download ALL three files (FULL-OTA)

Rename like that

update.zip
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip

Put all files to sdcard then flash HuRUpdater

Hi

How safe is firmware finder ?

I used it to upgrade a new Honor 9 from Android 7 to Android 8 and it worked fine.

No issues and the phone is working with out problem.

But is the firmware that is download official or could it have been messed about with.

Only checking as my phone is now running a newer version that others I know.

Thanks
[Other Tools & General Discussion] otonieru:

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Here's Jonny:
I spoke with Huawei today using online chat and they told me this was a 3rd party app so there was no way they could guarantee the correct firmware was download and upgraded to my phone.. just made me a bit nervous!

The version I'm on seems to be newer than other UK users on the same phone.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tmihai20:
If you ever thought that this is an official app, you were wrong. If you selected the last package that matched the version on your phone (up to Cxxx code, the localization one), you do not have to worry. Huawei support does not know when certain versions will be available, you just got this version sooner than most of the users. The software comes from Huawei servers just like the official ones. I used this app to upgrade my Mediapad M3 and it got an OTA over firmware downloaded with this app.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Here's Jonny:
Hi. I knew this was a 3rd party app, just wanted to be sure that I'd got an official version. Thanks for confirming this.

Any workaround for installing updates in devices with unlocked bootloader?

I have a Honor 9 device with Emui 8.0.0.366. Tried putting update.app (from the full-ota-mf IMEI-verified with HFF) in SDCARD\dload and boot in software update mode but it fails with software update error at 5%

I have an MHA-L29C636B172 Singapore version with EMUI 5.0.

The latest version from FF is MHA-L29C66B373 (8.0.0.373) dated 2018.07.03

I downloaded the 3 FullOTA-MF files, unzipped the UPDATE.zip file & loaded the 4.3GB file onto a Micro SD card.

Inserted into phone, pressed all three buttons and the update started and failed.

Did I miss something, or does it just not work?

This is a new to me used phone that I have not activated yet. Since updates have been available for 8 proir to this and it keeps telling me there are none available, will it ever get updated?

Thanks for your help.

Downgrade

Hi Guys,

First of all i tried to google it 2 hour and i can't find answer so i ask my question here.

I have a huawei P8 lite 2017 with pra-lx1c432b212.

I would like to downgrade to pra-lx1c432b209.

Is it possible to downgrade with the Firmware Finder? (check firmware acces sad its approved for the device but i am not sure this function is working for downgrade a FW)

If its working ,my only task is to download and install with the "Get an upddate through dns" option?

Thanks in advance.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
Would anybody know how to enable the IMEI check in FF?

If I click on any firmware and then "CHECK FIRMWARE ACCESS", there is no such option, only a disclaimer about granting FF read_phone_state permission and two buttons (CHECK AVAILABILITY and CANCEL). FF already has all the permissions it asked for, I think.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] djg269:
If you press the CHECK AVAILABILITY button it checks with imei. If you press and hold the button, it will check without imei.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] djg269:
App is not dead, it's just not working for most new firmwares, for older firmwares it's still working.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
If I might ask another question, which, I'm sure of it, is covered here somewhere, if I choose the small OTA, do I have to take each update or can I skip everything between my version and the latest one available and just install that?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] M1chiel:
It's a bit tricky to apply the small OTA, because it only works if you install it over the previous one. However it is often not immediately clear which version that is, so I recommend to only choose the full OTAs.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
Thanks a lot. Given the difference in file size and having to rely on what must be the slowest DSL to be found these days ... well.

I see now that it was a bit of a hypothetical question with huawei blocking the FF methode for recent firmwares :-/
[Other Tools & General Discussion] wonsky21:
Sooo is there any info from devs, if they are able to sort out issues with latest firmwares, or just "it won't work, end of story"?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
I'm sure the developer is working hard to sort it out so be grateful and wait.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] wonsky21:
You're sure? How? If you have so feedback from dev please share it. If you don't... Well, I'm sure it will be sunny tomorrow.

Firmware Finder Update Issue

Hi Guys

I have a P10 Plus with Build Number of VKY-L29C185B361 that I Upgrade about 2 weeks ago by FF.

Since then I couldn't upgrade my cell to new version. (B362/B363 is available for me)

I tried any method by WiFi and Mobile Data on the Phone and PC (Change DNS, In App Proxy) but failed and doesn't show any update.

I've Downloaded 3 File of B363 and tried to install it (Although I did not know exactly how to do it) even with TWRP but again failed.

Extracted update.zip and moved update.app to dload but after 5% it failed again.

Can anyone help me please?!

Thanks
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Mostar088:
Why should u not be greatful??

If u dont like it create your own app and fix the problem.

It's easy to sit here and demand.

This is a new problem and they need to find a backdoor to fix it, it will take some time.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] wonsky21:
First, I expressed my gratitude by buying the Pro version of app.

Second, I'm not whining "it's not working, the app is dead" etc. Only asked once if there's any feedback from the devs.

Third, I repeat: if you have any info about progress, please share it. If you don't simply STFU and stop playing smartass.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] dejanf:
Very simple. Install HiSuite 8 to your PC and connect your phone. Go to Update option in this program and you should get option to downgrade to other version (latest official Nougat). After install that you can update to latest OTA for your P10 plus (B363) with your phone. Firmware finder not needed
[Other Tools & General Discussion] maysam261:
unfortunately hisuite doesn't show this option. just show that the firmware is upgrade and etc.

ofcourse before this issue i could do that, but there is no option now

Hi all,

in case of firmware not yet approved for our terminal with HuRUpdater.

It works with a lot of devices (unlocked and with custom recovery, thanks [MENTION=2782481]tmihai20[/MENTION] for remembering).

I used it with Mediapad M3 BTV-DL09 (tutorial).
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4159151]nicolap8[/MENTION]: that tool only works on devices with a custom recovery. It will not work for untouched devices. It is a good find though.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] livevalue:
After installing 361 version HiSuite is not showing rollback option anymore. So it's now impossible to update it to 363 version until FF figures out updating problem.

Don't push it so much. There is no change between 361 and 363. Totally same systems. Only a few security updates that you can never feel it. So calm down, otherwise if you push your device for update, it may be brick somehow.

Is the firmware finder completely dead or is it still working for old firmwares with emui 5.x?

My model is PRA-LA1C185B220 with emui 5.0.2 and Android 7.0 and I want to upgrade to PRA-LA1C185B361. The firmware is approved by FF for my device but when I try to get an update in the settings it doesn't show any update (no updates found). I have tried getting an update through DNS and in-app proxy but both don't seem to work. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is the application not working anymore?

Hmmm, I copy/pasted file list into DNS update , then registered , then changed DNS on network in desktop not the phone, opened hsuite on file transfer mode and hsuite reported an update for my phone . This update is approved on my IMEI . Could of been just luck
[Other Tools & General Discussion] umbi69:
I updated, two days ago, at 364, and now from oreo does not work the update to 366
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
Can you give the steps on how to update through HiSuite using the desktop program of Firmware Finder?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
Open firmware finder and choose custom base, search your model which has been approved for install( you can use phones firmware finder and check imei against approved install), copy paste Filelist link into dns update option(cloud Icon), click register and then copy dns to clip board, open settings in Windows, navigate to change adaptor options, choose your network (active adaptor) open ipv4 properties and choose manual dns , paste dns address in primary dns . open hsuite ,connect phone in DEBUG/ FILE TRANSFER MODE and start the system update, if it succeeded ,suite will do it all for you don't disconnect your phone when hsuite as finished though, wait until your phone rebooted into the firmware update process and rebooted back to login screen(obviously). I'm not good at explaining so I hope you can understand. Its done at your own risk, the risk is very slim as it all official updating methods. NOTE: I update to 366 from 364 so need to worry if you have 364. USE BETA FF. NOTE2: I just extracted firmware finder beta to C:/ on my windows pc, don't know if this is part of process but makes things a lot easier for me.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
Which url am I supposed to enter in the DNS update registration?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
just literally right click Filelist and copy paste that.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:

[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
Thanks I got that but now when I changed DNS in the settings and checked for update on the HiSuite it says "No internet connection" even though my internet seems to be working on the browser.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
try right click on adaptor disable and enable, what you using WiFi or lan? Kill the hsuite.exe in task manager so you can refresh, make sure you register the dns update
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
I did all that none of it fixed it. I also disabled the firewall but that didn't work either. It only gives that "No internet connection" error when I change the DNS, it works fine when I select auto DNS. Also browsing works fine on Chrome even after I change the DNS so the internet is working. Idk what could be causing that problem...:crying:
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
I'm trying hsuite now with normal network connection and it seems that it wont connect so its actual Huawei server that's down for some reason. Try for self with normal connection, it still doesn't connect, so all I can say is ….when you can get a connection the normal way ….try again, ill still be here to help, and I'm not trolling, its just a bit of bad luck.

http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_cn/
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
No HiSuite works fine when I change the DNS back to normal. When I check for update it tells me that im on the latest firmware. But when I change DNS only then it shows that there is no internet connection.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
try leaving hsuite open but not connected to phone, Although I can't connect what so ever in normal or with registered dns?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
Fixed the problem! Apparently the issue is with the HiSuite version. I installed version 5.0.2.300 of HiSuite and it fixed the issue for "No internet connection". Got the update now! Fingers crossed it works without any errors...
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
Cool …..knew there something else wrong, it worked yesterday with that version though.

The latest hsuite version is 8.0.1.309 just installed and its got connect by wlan, and update works again.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
Dont know I had the latest one too which was giving the error

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

HiSuite downloaded the package and at the restart the phone gave the error "failed to check the update package". I checked for approval in firmware finder for the firmware and it approved it for my device. Anyone else got that problem and fixed it?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
It should say not authorised if it was going to fail, you could always try removing the dns once the downloads started, then the verification should go through, I didn't have to do that though.

download this version …...http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_cn/.....
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
The whole process completes perfectly on the HiSuite app, its when the device restarts to install the uodate that it gives the error of failed to check update package. Does changing the DNS back once the download has started have any affect on the verification?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
It could, not saying for sure but its using hisuite in the phone, i would update to 8.0.1.309 and make sure theres no vpn or any network modifactions in your phone other than googles dns 8.8.8.8 primary and 8.8.4.4 secondary , check to see if debugging is on also i had ff open in phone, the only difference between me and you is that my dad had 366 ota normal so i knew it was approved, i usually wait a few more weeks after my dad gets his ota. Does firmware finder in the phone approve it through imei? Could also be a corrupt download.UPDATE: Check package details, it can be approved for your imei but if the packge isnt the correct one for the version your using it wont flash
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
I dont have any dns or proxy on the phone its only on the pc. The phone checks for the firmware while its restarting so I dont think it verifies that with the internet at that time. Maybe the wrong firmware is being downloaded? And yes firmware finder on the phone does approve the packages I'm trying to install. But im not sure which exact package to download as theres a few that FF approves for my phone.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
Ah i see, then the actual package you need for the version your using may not be there? what version are trying to flash?.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
Well im currently on "PRA-LA1C185B220" and im trying to update to "PRA-LA1C185B361", Before I tried to update to "PRA-LA1C185B365" which gave me the error on the restart. Am I doing something wrong? Both these versions are approved on FF on my phone.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
No as far as i know your right, you could try rebooting the phone, thing is if your still on nougat uninstall the system update update and try with firmware finder on the phone
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
Will give that a shot. Thing is its really annoying that huawei doesnt release their updates among different regions in a similar time span. People is lots of other regions have got the oreo update for this device months ago and im still waiting to get mine.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
Hauwei's update proccess is very messy, i see the p8 lite and your version has a 222, why not try that first?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
It really is they dont do a good job when it comes to updates. Tbh I dont know which to try. Theres 221,222,223 for my device. Does it matter whether you install the updates in order?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
Yes it matters, try 222 that should definitely be approved
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boss.tekkers:
But FF approves the other updates too when I check for them but when the phone restarts to install the update I get a check error. I've tried updating to 365 and 361 both of which were approved by FF. How do I know which firmware to update to. Mines 220 atm.

But I'll try updating to 222 first.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] boe323:
It should install If it's approved against the IMEI number, not sure what's happening, every time I've flashed from ff it worked, maybe someone can throw some light on the situation?

Hi all, I have a Nova 2i (RNE-L22C636) purchased unlocked in Singapore airport in October 2017. I have used it in the UK and while travelling in India, and have never been pushed an OTA update, not even security patches. I am still on RNE-L22C636B100. Firmware Finder on the phone doesn't find any Full-OTA approved firmware for my Nova 2i. Only the OTA-MF files are aoproved, and I can't get any of those to work, even with the SD card method (all fail at 5%, just like an empty dload folder would give).

Any ideas? Happy to give more detail of what I have tried.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Mostar088:
C636 is for the Asia Pasific region. I had the same problem with my old P9 Plus with Cust C636, no OTA ever recived in Sweden where i live.

Then i bought a prepaid HK simcard on eBay and recived my first OTA to the phone.

Have u tried the FULL-OTA-MF-PV Oreo firmware?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] mdonahuerib:
Thanks for the idea. I have a universal SIM I got in Thailand - not sure what country it shows up natively as. I may try that. I find it incredible that Huawei is looking at the carrier when pushing out an update to an unlocked phone!

I couldn't see your screenshot for some reason, although I'm logged in to XDA Forums. In any case I tried the FULLOTA-MF-PV from 2 April (RNE-L02C636CUSTC636D1B310) using the dload method (update.app only in dload folder on external SD card). That failed at 5% same as everything else. I'm not convinced it's even trying to load the file. I get the same result by using the key combination at startup even when there is no dload folder on the phone or card.
