You don't need to download the firmware to ur pc, just send it to updater via proxy settings.

I'm having Authentication error as well.

I have a C636 Model trying to update from b158 to b172.

Tried both OTA and FullOTA using FF. It downloads just fine but gives an error before the installation begins.

Any help is appreciate it.

Good partner

10 days ago, I try to update my

mate 9 - L29C432 with the firmware B156 to any of the "available" firmware and always gives authentication error .....

With apk ff Android.

Also try downloading the zip to install by combo button and does not recognize the firmware by downloading the 3 zip.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] markositoo:
Really enjoying the app, but my problem currently is that whenever I try to download and install the VNS-L21C432B370 OTA-MF update which is 473MB, everything runs smoothly until the update has been downloaded and the system updater then shows a message that a Patch 2 is available for download. If I let it download that, it then prompts for some kind of a Patch 3, which is basically just the same OTA, but re-downloading all the time and never actually updating the phone. Could you please fix this?

I have tried wiping FF and System updater cache many, many times. Reinstalling does not help either.

EDIT: Seems to happen with any other firmware, too. It always keeps downloading them over and over again as Patch 2, Patch 3, Patch 4, etc. Clearly FF is not working on Nougat.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tsiglas:
Exactly what happens to me today.... After download 2,5g in about 7 hours with out sleep (Mate 9 C636B172) when finished download it prompt me that there is a new download 2,5g (the same version) and my download counter goes automatically to 50% with out letting me do anything except wait other 7 hours to download... So i delete ff program, ff proxi, clear update app to stop showing the update....

But now there are 2,5g (from the first download) somewhere in my device....

How can i find them and delete them?

Why this problem with double download happens?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
I have this problem also.

With Version 3.9 of firmware finder I can't download any firmware for my Huawei Mate S ( CRR-L09C432). With older version of your app, I had no problem.

Quick question

Good day! If you don't mind me asking, what is update_full_hw_spcseas.zip and what is its use in the OTA?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] rajib4:
Facing exactly the same problem with BLN-L22C675 (honor 6x) OTA-MF here :(

Please look into it...
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tsiglas:
After you send the update to stock update app you have to remove proxy server from your wifi connection and leave it automatic as it was.... That is the problem that after download finished it search again and re found the same rom
[Other Tools & General Discussion] rajib4:
Ok... will try that and get back...

[MENTION=4079063]tsiglas[/MENTION] Thanks bro :good: the trick you mentioned worked :highfive: Unfortunately the package is still unauthorized for my device yet, have to wait few more days before I try the update again using the same trick.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Nawzlew:
On a Lon-L29C636 (M9P).

Currently on B139, stock. Would you recommend updating 139 -> 156 -> 181 -> 182?

Or can I go straight to 182?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
As long as that OTA is labeled "OTA-MF-PV" (if ur switching between ANDROID VERSIONS)..

For example, if 181 is the first update to migrate to Nougat and 182 is an update for improvemnts in Nougat, u should go to 181 first.... What I'm trying to say is that install the latest OTA-PV
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gm007:
Go to 156 first cause 182 is not authorized as far as i know.

You can try 182 later .
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
Sorry.. I have a different Huawei device.. I'm unfamiliar with the specifics but that's pretty much the main idea... Hope I helped you though..even just a little.. Good day!
[Other Tools & General Discussion] scook94:
When can we expect support for VKY-L09 in the Android App?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
Soon..... as Huawei releases an OTA update for the stock firmware.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Nawzlew:
Thanks for your responses.

139 is Android 7.0. I'm assuming 156-181 are all still 7.0?

And none of the options are OTA-PV.

Basically only OTA-MF or FullOTA-MF.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
If that is so, assuming that the latest Ota buld is of the same Android version as the one you have currently, then it's okay to flash/install it

..

yeah..just do it.. Huawei isn't releasing Android O yet since it isn't officially released by Google.. switching between EMUI versions is fine as long as they have the same android versions (w/o OTA-PV)

{but this is unlikely since EMUI versions are based on specific versions of Android like how EMUI 4 is based on Android Marshmallow}

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

If you plan on upgrading from EMUI 4 (Android M) to EMUI 5 (Android N), make sure the OTA is PV... the process is different if you want to revert to EMUI 4..first install the Rollback OTA file from Huawei's website, then install the OTA for EMUI 4...

if you want to update quickly,make use of OTA-MF (just overwrites updated system files)..but I personally use FullOTA-MF(completely repalces systme files)..

take note that these updates do not erase data but I suggest you back up your data in case something goes wrong.

Hi mt team

I have a mate 8 NXT-L29C185B560.and i now want to update B580 in your app but that is 433MB and i dont know how can be install.pls help me

Thenks
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE DOING

Okay..first open Firmware Finder ..go to settings..enable install by proxy...install the addon...after that open the addon..

now go back to Firmware Finder and Look for the OTA u like.. Select it then press SEND FIRMWARE TO UPDATER..

you will be brought back to the addon app..do as you are told.. wifi>[select wifi network of choice/long press]>modify>show advanced options>proxy set to MANUAL> set name to localhost >set port to 8080>ignore bypass proxy>save/connect...go to ur updater app (in your settings that checks for updates)

once the update pops up , go back to wifi, set proxy to NONE>save/connect..

Go back to Updater and START DOWNLOADING the update..make sure ur device is charged once it finishes...

*BTW I'd rather you download the FULL-OTA instead of the regular OTA... and also, if you plan on switching and upgrading Android versions/ EMUI versions, install the FULL-OTA-PV / OTA-PV first, then the latest OTA for that android version..

There! Hope I helped.

Notify me if ur having problems.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Farzad37:
Thank you i got it and B580 downloading now but i fear couse i send 508MB update to my updater can i change or if i download get not problem?

Is there an even more efficient way of searching for the VIE-29C636 firmware aside from using the filter?

because even with the filter selected it still shows me firmware from other models of the same phone family.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gmanrainy:
I think your model VIE-L29 , not VIE-29 , and we know folder for your device is G1163 g104
[Other Tools & General Discussion] EarlZ:
Just a typo, what can I do with the folder to speed up my search?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gmanrainy:
nothing, firmware on your phone are in the same folder, and later add a filter to search for a particular model chosen, but it is no it does not speed up the search.. At the moment, what you called the filter is not actually a filter, and a selection of already known folder

It's fine as long as you follow all of my steps..remember that u only apply the proxy then check for updates..if u see it, don't download it yet.. disable the proxy..then after , that's when you download it.. nothing will go wrong... this method may not be conventional, but you ARE getting official builds..

If I use Firmware finder to install a firmware will I void my warranty? I will receive in future other OTA update? Thanks :)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
No, it will not void your warranty. You would still be able to receive future updates.... As long as you:

*Keep the bootloader locked

*Keep your device unrooted

I've only used Firmware Finder to update my honor 6x to Nougat. I've installed Full-mf-pv, do you know what is mean? ?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
So you'll not get confused, I'll explain thoroughly..

FULL OTA= When installed, replaces all the firmware files with new ones.. (but data would nkt get affected)

OTA= Replaces only the files that have been updated

MF= Multi file (ignore this.almost all OTAs are)

PV= Point-Version..When installed, upgrades to a higher version of Android

So when upgrading from EMUI 4(ANDROID M) to EMUI 5(ANDROID N), choosd FULL-OTA (because ur completely changing the system), MF (i think all OTAs are), and PV(because you are upgrading from Marshmallow to Nougat)

So if ur going from B130/140/150/160 to B342/360, choose FULLOTA-MF-PV...

If you want to roll back/downgrade , it's not the same process.. go to Huawei's website..download the rollback OTA..and install that manually..then install the EMUI 4 ota..Done!!

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Farzad37:
You should be click on the start and after download 1% click to the pause button and goes to 4g or wifi settings and clean the proxy and get it back to normal connect mode after you can download all rom but if you see the authentication failed you must wait for answer team mt group for me and anybody to asked this team.

After we use this method. Will the phone receive next OTA update or we should use again ff?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] @retutal:
You'll continue to receive future updates.. You're just pushing firmware to your device... there's no harm in that...and the OTAs are digitally signed so they're official.

I have since tried 3 times and each time the '383' for my p9 update hasn't worked due to an authentication error. Each time I have switched off the proxy after it has started, it downloads the whole update (2.2gb) and then fails once you try and install and deletes the package.

I am actually not sure, whether we have every thing in this update or not otherwise I would use the dload option to update.

I've already downloaded the 2.4 GB version of B361 and I think it should be installed by dload to SDcard option but the only thing which is stopping me from trying dload is that authentication failed error which my mobile gave while updating with proxy way.
