You need "Custom ROM Version" and "Custom ROM URL" for C900.

I do not know where to find them for your version

I installed the latest build that was released yesterday 1/16 on my P9 single sim (EVA-L09) via huawei firmware updater . Update from B182 to 361 went w/o any issues. New firmware is quite responsive, no complaints there.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] oxfordmark:
Was you already signed up for the beta?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] rsync420:
No, never signed up for beta. This is my second Huawei phone that I ordered just a few days ago.

That's interesting, I thought the update fails for phones that haven't been signed up for the beta.

Hello. I'm a total noob at this, but I read this forums a lot. I'd like to know if there's a way I can update my P9 to Nougat.

My device's software version is EVA-L09C212B141.

I'm in Latin America and there hasn't been a beta here yet. And there's no newer version for me via the EMUI update app on my phone either.

Is it possible for me to update to a newer version, and then install the latest version of Nougat on my phone?

Thanks in advance!

After I debranded my phone from EE to B182 from that thread I came here to update to B361 but when I got to step 10 I always got message saying no internet connection, I tried a number of other methods dload but it was like the URL was missing, however I came across a app called firmware finder and was able to get to B386.

build number C990b166

hello. is there any option to update if os is emui 4,1 build number C990b166 ? i'm stuck with this version after a faulty "update" to a faulty version of emui 5. I tried to get back to emui 4.1 and somehow this one was the only one which worked at that moment. I'm looking for an official update to emui 5 or just to get 4.1 with build number C432B166. I'm not looking to debrand or to root my device just to get back to the official uk version of software. is there any chance to do that? please delete if i didn't post in the right place. thanks, much appreciated.

Hi!

Any luck with updating your phone?

Im experiencing the same problem...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twics:
Sorry didn't see your reply

Using the firmware finder app I used the EVA-L09C432B360 Full OTA -MF-PV 71496

It's 2.282GB in size
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sprouts4all:
Tried B360 but when it reboots to install it goes to 14% then fails
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twics:
Ok I think that happened to me also, I did a while ago, try the 72804 one 1.193gb it should work. Proxy method.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sprouts4all:
Doing same with this one also, do you think a factory reset would help and then flash again
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twics:
No you should not need to do factory reset,...are you rooted? Do you have custom recovery? If so I don't think it will work, what firmware do you have?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sprouts4all:
Im on B182, no custom firmware or root
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twics:
Ok well the only thing I can think of next is to just try B330 check firmware access with IMEI to make sure it's approved, the fullOTA version has been removed, if that installs the move up to B360 and so on, make sure you check firmware access with IMEI . Hope it's works for you that how I did it.

Hi,

Windows 10 latest HiSuite. I have followed to the letter your tutorial and always have "No Internet connection". Using Ethernet cable to my router from my PC !!!

Thanks !
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] boroleigh:
I tried the hisuite and Huawei updater route and got the no internet connection all the time. I gave up and went back to the firmware finder and tried to download B386 using the proxy method. This came back with failed to download. By random choice I checked the updater app on the phone to download latest full package. This immediately brought up and download the B386 firmware and it installed without a problem with no loss of data. Just to check it wasn't a bit of luck I did the same with the wife's phone and it worked the same way.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] XavierP56:
No Internet connection : Solved by removing HiSuite and using the one that is linked at the first page of this thread. It seems HiSuite just donwloads the package to phone and start it over.

I can't install anything else than B386 : All other package do fail, even by asking to download the whole package. They all fail and I can't understand why...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sprouts4all:
I have now update from B182 to B360 using this method. I deleted HiSuite and installed the old version on the first page. It then let me update normally to B378

I own a p9 EVA L09c432 and i am currently on b378, is it the latest firmware for the European version?

I had a Vodafone p9 before which I debranded but my last firmware on that was b383 obviously I manually upgraded it. Question is: was my previous p9 uncorretly upgraded? Thanks in advance for your help.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] swanny83:
Download that program I posted and follow the steps on it, there is also a guideline on the XDA website, it tells you the software that is available and compatible with the phone, I messed about with too much and I won't be doing anymore unless an official update becomes available

What firmware do i need to use?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twics:
Check out this video..... [youtube]s5hHTZ4LGMM[/youtube]

I used it im now on B390 download firmware finder from play Store once opened click on settings / then click on, use proxy for install, and download additional file and you should be set from there to update.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] marclane99:
Thanks, I have tried this guide, and got to the point where via the updater it downloads it, but then when the handset restarts and tries to install it says it cannot verify the package, and the phone just reboots without installing anything.

For each firmwhere, there seems to be 4 versions, 1 large, 1 small, and an MF and MF-PV of the large and small one.

Which do i download?

If i am using a UK Model EVA-L09C432B182 at the moment, which package from Firmware finder should i pick?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twics:
I also started from B182 and had the same issues, however I kept trying, only the ones that were approved by IMEI and stated Android 7, I just checked and the one I used seem to have been removed, but EVA-L09C432B378 fullOTA MF PV 2.273gb should work as it is approved. If it installs it will take a little time to boot up so don't panic like I did.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Buratei:
same here, I've read every single post in this tread and tried several things like clearing the cache or reinstalling hisuite with the version included in the OP. some five hours later, still pulling my hair out trying to get this done. At this point, I am just trying random versions found by the firmware finder. So what I've been trying is just find the version number and the whatever 5-digit number that goes with it in the "/v?????/" portion of the address and use these for the huawei updater v2. Am I doing this all wrong?

I even tried downloading some version of b386 (full OTA I believe it was) and tried the dload reboot method at no avail.

EDIT: I forgot to add that the huawei updater remains silent in the log window after this line: "Service Enabled, Listened on Port 41279"

looks like the hisuite fails to "sync" with the updater for some reason...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Buratei:
crap...

it went from bad to horribad. I followed the video and got into MIUI5.0 (b386 I think), but ended up with test keys. Did a rollback from there to get back to b182, then made this colossal mistake of flashing update_data_full_hw_eu first (b361). That left me in a e-recovery bootloop. I really should have stopped there, but in my desperation I first did a failed flash to b182, then finally yet another rollback (failed) which landed me in a huawei logo bootloop.

Where do I go from here?

EDIT: fastboot mode still worked, so I managed to install TWRP. I was hoping to force flash (pwr+vol_up+vol_down) to b136 with what appear to be full hw folders, but it won't work for some reason. Do I need a stock recovery for that?

EDIT2: whoa, just how much worse could it get? I was able to flash separate partitions with extracted .img files form b136 using HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5. Force flash still didn't work, booting into stock recovery failed to update at 4% and got stuck leaving me no option other than rebooting. I assumed this was because the bootloader was still unlocked, but it no longer locked with a error message - "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)". From there, I reflashed TWRP, installed oeminfo-huawei-p9-eval09-c432 again, try locking again, then flashed back to stock recovery.

As the final nail the coffin, I tried to go back to TWRP yet again, this time with a failure at that. Now I get a "your device has failed verification" page instead of the unlocked warning. I so should have just stopped and re-read the thread when I got twrp back....

EDIT3: finally back where I was - twrp can be installed and entered, but stock recovery or force flash does not work. For some reason I was able to unlock the bootloader again a few reboots after, despite getting "already unlocked" error messages earlier. Still, I am unable to lock or relock it (failed: command not allowed)

would DC phoenix help me go back to MM at least?

I flashed my p9 one more time by dload c432b136 and then will appear via ota c432b166 and then b182-b383-b386. So if anybody will have problem with update maybe try flash b136.

Finally found a method that worked! EVA-L09c432b182 -> 360

Hey guys/girls,

I have a Huawei P9 Eva-L09c432b182. Spent hours trying different methods on updating to Nougat to have the following method work.

1. Download Firmware Finder from the Android Google Play Store.

2. Set up WiFi connection with proxy (as per Firmware Finder instructions)

3. Selected the EVA-L09C432B378 Full OTA -MF-PV 71496

4. Went to "Update" in the settings,

5. Pressed back after new update package had been found and selected Download Latest Full Package.

6. Download completed, installed and optimized.

7. New Version = Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 EVA-L09C432B378 - haven't found anything wrong / broken but will update if I find anything.

Hope this can help someone.

Do you have root access and if so, do you loose it when you receive and install an OTA update?

Thanks.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twics:
Don't know if you mean don't want to loose root or want to loose root as for last part of your message, however I don't have Root, I was locked to EE and wasn't getting any system updates, so I debranded from another thread, and ended up using firmware finder to do my updates, now my updates come ota, from my knowledge if you receive an ota update on a rooted phone with custom recovery it will not install, if you have stock recovery it might Install but I'm pretty sure you will loose root.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bubba_66:
That is what I thought, so I am waiting for a suitable custom ROM to be made. Then I will install that instead.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] CROrION:
I don't understand this, do i choose quick update option under ettings - update (when finds that softvare)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] TheRealMoses:
Hi CROrION,

Once you have set up the WiFi proxy in Firmware Finder go to your phone's settings (the cog icon in the menu) and select "System Update" this should automatically find an update to download.

Don't download it.

Press the back button to deselect the update and then use the menu icon (the 3 vertical dots in the top right of the System Update screen) and select "Download Latest Full Package" - this will the find you the update you need.

Download and install the update and you should be sweet to go.

Hope this makes sense and works.

Please keep in mind this post was from a while ago and this method may not work now.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
If not rooted, etc, you should start receiving OTA upgrades. Otherwise, you can install b386 as the next version (FullOTA-MF-PV by DLOAD method) - ie, I think you can skip over b383

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:

Use this guide

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2

Sidenotes:

-For step (1): Bootloader must be open, more precisely unlocked. You need Bootloader unlock code, get it from (browse from PC or force Desktop site options to be able to find Unlock code option on the top-right)

https://emui.huawei.com/en/

You have to be quick, Huawei will stop providing Bootloader unlock codes in 60 days (minus 4-5 days that already passed).

Alternatively, you can buy the same unlock code from DC Unlocker - as in the following guide. Use this guide to unlock Bootloader (only for that - unlocking procedure is the same for all Huawei phones, don't take TWRP or so from this guide because it's for another Huawei model)

https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903

Or another guide

https://xdaforums.com/mate-10/how-to/how-to-huawei-mate-10-pro-standard-t3709535

-For step (2): Downlod given update.zip, unzip, create DLOAD folder on the root of your External SD card, copy the unzipped files into DLOAD folder.

-For step (15): once you have debranded to c432 b182, you should receive OTA to b242, and after that, in few more OTA hops, to b399 or even b502

Thanks for that - was looking and should've just realised to search for the v7* number for the full_hw. That's given me the right build number, but no camera, file manager, nfc. . . . . can't put TWRP, I don't think so anyway due to update. Also, interestingly, dialling the *#*'2846579#*#* doesn't work to force an update after trying it using volume keys and power to load the dload update stuff. . . . Hmmm

Is this BETA build ?

Do we need to unlock bootloader for this ?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Gazblade:
Appears, according to the updated hisuite, that this is [OFFICIAL] No bootloader doesn't need to be unlocked. Dload directory on internal memory for the extracted UPDATE.app and hold down power and volume keys until logo then release.

However, I had problems with mine. My version went to test-keys and even after flashing the HW update as well as this one I still don't have bluetooth, NFC, camera, file manager - well all the Huawei stuff. That's in joyqing's post #26.

Anyone got suggestions for that? TWRP flash of it?
