Shouldn't this method of flashing an update work:

Source: https://www.androidsage.com/2016/05...-latest-eva-l09c432b136-emui-4-1-marshmallow/

Here's what it says from that link:

Update Huawei P9 Normally with Dialer:

Step 1. First, check your firmware version device and proceed. If you already have the latest one, you don’t need to update.

Step 2. Backup is highly recommended. Backup all your personal stuff like data, apps, media, storage files and fully charge the battery.

Step 3. Download stock firmware file from above for your Huawei device.

Step 4. Extract the downloaded file “B136.zip” and then copy the folder contained “dload” in the root directory (level 1 of the storage) of your SD Card.

Rename the downloaded file to update.zip for convenience. (.zip extension is important)

Step 5. Now open the dialer app and type the string: * # * # 2846579 # * # * and choose option 4 named Software Upgrade “->” SDCard Upgrade “and confirm with” OK “.

Now create a folder named dload in the root of your internal storage or on your SD card. Now place the update.zip file here.

Step 6. Wait for the installation to complete.

Which files I have to use for the updating processes? I am new to Huawei, so I have to learn something about flashing a HW device.

Thanks a lot

I tried to download Framework 4.5.2 but I coulndt install it..

Is there something I can do? or where can i find the firmware I need?

Thank you

Has HW made flashing the p10 impossible? I can not flash via service menu, because it tells me, that no update file was found. I read something about HW made it impossible, but want to ask you. Maybe I did something wrong? (/Sdcard/dload/update.app and /update.zip I used without success).

Thank you guys

You probably did something wrong in as much as it should at least have found the file. However you are correct that this method no longer works. You need to use either FunkyHuawei (not free) or the method described in the Mate 9 forum.

With the latest update to the Android app, what exactly isn't meant by this?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Mostar088:
Now u can check if the firmware is signed by Huawei for installation.

This is wery usefull so u dont need to download and get fail just to check if it has passed verification.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] scook94:
Hmmm. So us P10/p10+ owners will never get a verification to pass, or do you think Huawei will change their mind and allow us to update as we used to with dload method?

Dont think so.

Question regarding FF and P9Lite.

Current version of FW on phone is L21C432B161, dual sim is unlocked.

In FF it finds all available version like B370/371, B380/381.

Now, when i select B371 FullOTA-MF-PV with 1.94 GB in size and send it to the updater, in the system updater it shows smaller one, 1.2 GB.

I try several full size FW and always in system updater i get that 1.2 GB smaller file.

How can i get the system updater to take the bigger 1.9 GB file?

Thx
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gmanrainy:
you try press download full package in updater?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] 9800pro:
Yes, it shows 2 files, update.zip and update_data_full.zip file.

They both should be around 1.9 GB.

Question is why it doesn't want to get them both for system updater...
[Other Tools & General Discussion] talvigi:
If you want to send them to updater they both will be sent to updater and if you want to download manually you'll check both and download.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] 9800pro:
No, when i select 1.9 GB file and send to updater, in updater it shows 1.2 GB.

Also please try this here: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=l21c432b371&firmware_page=0

If i select FullOTA-MF-PV download it will download 1.2 GB, not 1.9 GB.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gmanrainy:
Because this is just one package of two, if you send the firmware to the updates, then the idea is to download the two files, but why it does not happen, I do not know which servers huawei determine what to send for the update, but what You download only one package, this is not true
[Other Tools & General Discussion] 9800pro:
Sorry, i don't understand what you mean.

I know what is the idea behind FF on android.

Problem is when i select 1.9 GB file to send to updater, the updater shows 1.2 GB file instead of full 1.9 GB file.

I know i can download those 2 separate files but i can only install them with recovery.

Point is to install it trough system updater.

Next, if you checked the link you could see that the biggest file which should be 1.9 GB is actually 1.2 GB.

It seems that Huawei FW server is messed up.

If you install that 1.2 GB file you will be missing half of the apps because only 1.9 GB file is full firmware file..

Hello [MENTION=6175404]gmanrainy[/MENTION]

In the last version of FF, there are new adds. Can you explain how to use them ( DNS, etc...)

Thanks a lot
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gmanrainy:
yep.

DNS for install updates. I will immediately say that there is still a lot to do for its normal operation but you can try install with them. You can put through it the firmware in the hisuite or hwouc ( standard updater ).

To get the firmware through DNS:

First you need to check whether it is possible to install this firmware using the tab "Check firmware access".

If the firmware is available, you can copy the link to it and go to the tab "Proxy". On this page you need to insert a link to the firmware in the "Firmware for install" field and press "Set", after that you need to register for an update so that our server understands what you want from it. After it you can see message on completion of registration.

Okay, now you need copy DNS address and put it to your Router or Internet connection, or setup like proxy in hisuite.

After all actions it is necessary to press the button to check for updates and you must receive a previously registered update.

One point, if you register an update from a PC, then the phone must have the same IP address as the PC, i.e. Must be connected to the same access point.

any way to flash Mate9 Porsche design with this systems, the firmware number "LON-LC29C721B185" after I check firmware access it says "the firmware is not approved for installation". Is there any way to force install it, I try several times but fails to verify after finished download.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
You can use this to update or wait Huawei to approve the update https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108/page44
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Craphead:
Ok I tried and I figured it wouldn't hurt to share the problems I ran into: I tried to install the newest update for a P10Plus (VKY-L09C432B133). After setting the DNS in my router the update is being found either in the device itself or via hisuite and I can start the download, so far so good. But the problems begin after the download:

- if I download the update on the device itself and keep the FF DNS setting at all time, the download somehow fails to finalize. Instead, after it reached 100%, it offers ANOTHER package (no matter if I choose OTA or FULL) and the size of the package gets DOUBLED. Which means where it first said for example 407MB for the OTA, it all of sudden says 815MB and keeps downloading. The same things repeats itself over and over, it never gets finished. If I remove the DNS setting after this happens, it eventually does finish but then it tells me that the downloaded data could not be verifyed and will be deleted. If I remove the DNS setting BEFORE this happens, before the download reaches 100% for the first time, then the download finishes but then shortly before restarting the device to install the update it says that the update has not been authorized. And then the third way: if I change the DNS to your adress again AFTER the download has finished but BEFORE the device asks me to reboot then it tells me that the verification server is currently unreachable and asks me to retry later.

- if I download the update via HiSuite then the download and install status reach 100% and the device DOES reboot eventually, but then it says either it fails to check update package or that software update failed and then it restarts and the firmware hasn't changed.

It seems the main problem here is the verification thing.

Hi,

Would it be possible to get this information added to the OP i.e. the very first post, it will help others like myself in figuring out how to work this, I discovered this by accident in another thread on this subject, the vital information required is 'that once you have checked for updates, to go back and change the wifi settings back to normal, without 'Proxy'.

I kept getting the 'message about unstable internet connection, and without the help of the following post probably wouldn't have figured it out by myself, :confused: https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to...g-firmware-t3557089/post71043311#post71043311 thanks goes to masi0 for pointing out in step 7 of his guide .

No Upgrade File?

Hi, I've downloaded the Update.ZIP file through the app, moved it to the root of my SD Card, and used the *#*# etc code to enter the Upgrade utility, but I get an error:

Warning

No upgrade file!

I have also tried moving the update.zip file from root, to a folder called 'dload' and also, the 'Download' folder on the SD card. Always the same error message.

What have I missed!?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
What phone do you have?

You should extract the zip and copy update.app to dload folder.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Reverend2008:
It's on the Mediapad M3.

...AND thank you for your help :)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Reverend2008:
Okay I'm confused now... I've gone though this forum and there seem to be different instructions to update the firmware and I'm not sure which apply to me...

I have the Mediapad M3. Currently the system says it's B009. I followed the instructions to Upgrade it to B010, by creating a dload folder, unpacking the Upload.ZIP folder inside it, and putting the 'update.app' file into the root of 'dload' too.

I then run the Dialer updater, select option 4 to Update from SD Card. I now get a 'resterting' message, and it appears to be updating. It says Update successful (or somehting like that) and then boots up, but my device info still says I'm on B009. Can someone point me at the right instructions? All help appreciated!
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
You should know from the kernel and security patch if it has a newer date than the update is successful.

You can try to flash hw_data same way to change build number.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] erayrafet:
You should flash a full update package 1.5GB+ in size. If you install an OTA package this way it doesn't work properly and the build number doesn't change.

I tried to use a couple of times the firmware updater APK in Huawei Nova.

The download always failed at 100% due to unverified firmware or failed at 75% due to connection issues.

After a couple of tried I gave up and reseted the phone.

Now according with memory manager I have 7.99GB occupied with firmware, probably related with download/incomplete firmware.

Is there a way of freeing this memory?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gmanrainy:
go to ff in-app settings and press clear-bla-bla-bla, after that go to HwOuc folder and delete all files and in dload too delete all files , after that do reboot and check memory

Thank you for the quick reply.

I runned the "clear HWFF folder" and afterwards went to the HwOuc with nothing there. No files in downloads folder too.

After rebooting a couple of times the memory manager still shows firmware with 7.99GB. To be honest I do not remember the original value but I think that is too much for the OS.

I have faced the issue when I used the Team MT dns server. If that's what you are using as well then just revert back to the default dns address once the download completes. You will be able to install the update once you reverted back the dns address to default. But before doing all this make sure you check the authorisation of the update using the option provided in FF.
