Anyone successful with the Mate 20 Pro?

Hey guys.

Reaching out to see if any has been able to use the Firmware Finder app to update the firmware of the new Mate 20 Pro? Currently I'm on 108 however can see the approved firmware update 122 via the app

Now the app does say its incompatible at first however you can indeed download either the latest OTA or full firmware, but seemingly can't get the device to acknowledge it. Things I've tried:

- Using the VPN and DNS options in firmware finder, then checking for system updates

- Putting the downloaded OTA zip in a created folder on internal storage called DLOAD, rebooting to recovery, but nothing happens.

- Tried extracting all the contents of the zip into that folder, again recovery doesn't acknowledge it.

It'd be great if we could perform manual updates like this, though annoying if the best we could do is merely download it!

Anyone any suggestions?

Let's see if we can get this working...

*update - seems I was entering recovery (power off and then power on holding power button + volume up) where I should have gone to download mode (hold both volume up and down). It gets to a screen but says Installation Failed. That's with the zip directly in the DLOAD folder and then with the contents extracted....

Hi!

I have a Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite (CPN-L09). Few days ago I got CPN-L09C100B278 OTA update. It's size ~2.4 GB so I think it's a full firmware.

I need to get boot.img from it for rooting so I tried to find it with Huawei Firmware Finder but not succeeded - it's not in the Common Base and not found with Search. I tried with Windows version.

Something I'm doing wrong or just this firmware is not on the servers yet?

Regards,

Beren
[Other Tools & General Discussion] M1chiel:
The boot image is called ramdisk.img by Huawei.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Barahir's son Beren:
If I remember well, when I rooted the phone after the previous update, it was called boot.img (but of course it's possible I'm wrong).

But it's indifferent at this time because I cant find and download the latest update.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] QuazIqbal:

Anyone have luck updating the Mate 9 MHA-l29C567 (US) from 375 to 376-377 to enable GPU Turbo? I've tried using eRecovery with FF and DNS, it downloaded fine but failed to install around 20%. Using HWOTA with OTA or Full files it does about the same thing. FF says my "firmware is not supported for installation". I thought about trying to rebrand the phone but might just give up too. I'm FRP / Bootloader unlocked.

Please include the information that eRecovery/DNS method REQUIRES 2,4GHz Wi-fi and it doesn't work if you have 5GHz only network (b/g/n). Such wi-fi will not show up in the recovery.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] majaczos:
You can't. You can install only the approved update (FullOTA) through eRecovery. You need to change the DNS in yor router, not Windows.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] M1chiel:
Check the manual of your router. Most routers can be accessed by browsing to a specific ip address.

Update P10 Lite

hi guys I've debrand my p10 lite with the slock, because i haven't got the bootloader code, after a few hours, i do the debrand complete and i install the official firmware Was-Lx1ac432 8.0.0377 and the oem c432, in the app FF there is a new update with the january secure patch, but it won't result in the system update, the firmware isn't approved but i've a question. it's possible that don't arrive because i do the debrand??:confused:

I'm really confused, really hoping someone can help me here. I'm on windows 10 and done the whole hotspot stuff, I have the Huawei Honor play running 8.0.1.132 Cor-l29c432. Firmware finder shows that the latest 9.x.x.156 is verified for install, I go through all the steps showing verification, registering update and everything looks fine, in erecovery it only finds the current 8.0.0.132 build I'm currently on and reinstalls it, nothing fails at any stage, after changing the DNS settings I go to the page and it shows the team server ok page. Any help would be gladly appreciated.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] majaczos:
Make sure you have 2,4GHz/dual band wifi router. Use google or user manual how to get into router's console (it usually means typing special url address in your browser). And that's where you change DNS settings (there may be instruction for that as well) .
[Other Tools & General Discussion] M1chiel:
Possibilities include:

- Firmware not approved

- Incorrect firmware version

- Downloaded file is corrupted

- Changed partitions on your phone (boot, kernel)

- Huawei :p
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gmanrainy:
This is a super opportunity :D Even if the firmware is not available without a DNS connection, this does not mean that it will be unavailable after the DNS is turned on. You can connect the DNS and check again whether the firmware is available for installation or not.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] M1chiel:
In the Honor Note 10 forum you suggest you have TWRP. As you modified the recovery partition this may be the reason for the broken OTA. You can manually update with TWRP, e.g. with HurUpdater.

2. hi suite from multi tool didn't work.

irecovery and hisuite downloads registered firmware

Is it normal that downloading via dns update is veeeeeeeeeeeeery slow?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] arty_a:
I really want to join that question.

P20 Pro, updated EMUI 8 to 9 using eRecovery easily, even the download speed was fine.

Now I try to do the exact same thing for .163 to .195 and nothing.

I'm a technical person and I'm sure I do everything correctly (the DNS change in the router, registering the right firmware in FF etc.). There are mentions of people who successfully updated to .195 with other methods (like OTG) and even some that received it as OTA, so clearly this version is approved for installation.

Is there actually anyone who managed to upgrade .163 to .195 using eRecovery method?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] doublestrike:
The same problem here; exactly the same. Iupgraded from EMUI 8 to EMUI 9 so easily by erecovery; but now i can't upgrade from .163 to .195

On the erecovery boot & download, should the DNS still be on the changed setting?

DNS changed, got the option, but failed to get package info

DNS restored to normal (and I'm sure I held the buttons the same), not offered any download option

Going from Nougat to Oreo, EMUI5 to 8, I presume I need a FullOTAMF and not the smaller OTA?

Some list more than one version.

PS. Having completely failed to stop the wrong DNS taking over, I finally got it to recognise by applying advanced settings on the WiFi and entering the DNS twice

Instructions how to get an authorized version of EMUI 9 on EMUI 9 via Firmware Fonder

Attention, this method requires more success checks.

1. Add a line to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

188.225.84.142 query.hicloud.com

2. Download and install HiSuite9.0.2.304, BUT NOT RUN:

HiSuite_9.0.2.304.zip

3. Replace the files:

httpcomponent.dll move with the replacement in C:/Program Files (x86)/HiSuite or other directory in which the application is installed HiSuite

HiSuiteConfig.xml move with the replacement in C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Local/Hisuite/userdata/UpdateDogDev

hisuite.zip

4. Open FF (any, I like the smartphone to register - less action)

Looking for a permitted Android 9 for your device on the principle: device_model-LGRP2

Example for Mate 10 Pro:

BLA-LGRP2

Once again, make sure it is permitted, registers the update for eRecovery.

NOTE: There are two types of firmware: CHN, i.e. for Chinese devices and OVS, for all the rest. So if you do not have Chinese firmware, then you need to pay attention exclusively to OVS.

5. Run HiSuite, connect the device, looking for an update, update, rejoice.

Thanks j-a-c-k for make instruction

Hi Dear,

I edited the hosts file with Notepad++ and changed the files with the downloaded ones. I registered the firmware but Hi-Suite warns me like "No Internet Connection". What did i do wrong? I tried it with my regular DNS i was unsuccessful, then i changed the DNS address of the router to 188.225.84.142 and tried again; still the same warning, i changed the DNS of my PC but still the same.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] doublestrike:
This method definetely does not work on P20 Pro at tne moment; maybe it worked in the past; but not now. I downgraded to EMUI 8 using HiSuite and then it found the EMUI 9.0.0.195 itself over system settings; without any tricks.

Please think twice before upgrading to 9.0.0.195; it drains the battery dramatically.

DNS issues? No new update.

Hi, having difficulties with finding updates for my phone.

Phone: Huawei P10 Plus

Build: VKY-L09C432B185

EMUI: 5.1

Android: 7.0

Firmware Finder: 2.12.16.1 (PC)

Latest approved firmware: /TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G2325/g1699/v212459/f1/full/changelog.xml

I update my DNS on the PC to 188.225.84.142 and test via the website query.hicloud.com/checkconnect.action which takes me to a website which says "{"status":"1"}" (Before updating the DNS settings it just says "404 Error Sorry, Not Found" so I assume that worked?).

I have tried to use the HiSuite which will switch reporting between "You're now using the latest official version" or "No Internet connection. Please check your network settings."

I also tried using the Firmware Finder app, tethering from my laptop, changing the DNS and using the power up+usb cable option, but it either stays stuck on connecting to WIFI, or if it does eventually work it says "Getting package info failed".

Is there an issue? Seems as though the last few posts in February have been people questioning the DNS settings.

Thanks.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] otonieru:
the only way to tell now is by doing "check firmware access"

if it's approved, then its good.

i think huawei try to streamline the firmware version across the model though, because the one that approved on C432 is also approved on C636

Well, right now .205, .206, .201 and 203 are all shown as "Approved for installation" on my phone, which makes no sense, as in the past there was only 1 build for each region (or 2 - one for L09 and another one for L29).

Going back I see that .198 and .199 also turned to "Approved for installation".

Even .210 which I know was pushed OTA to a C109 device is shown as "Approved for installation" on my phone.

This happend to me once, my device was in Fastboot mode but the screen was totally black, my device (MediaPad M5) did not even vibrate at the beginning, even no huawei logo, i fixed it by sending it to the nearst huawei service center, BUT, try first Uninstalling the Hisuite, download the hisuite ONLY from this link (https://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/hisuite/), why this version? Because it include all firmwares for all Huawei devices.

Connect you device to pc, the pc should read it as fastboot (in this case you device should be in fastboot but with black screen) then go to the installed hisuite, choose system recovery, and then follow the instructions.

Otherwise send it to the nearst official Huawei service center, there they might change the Motherboard
