Btw, both OTA-MF #114286 and FullOTA-MF #114287 contain four files where one of them is duplicated and corresponds to L19, not L09. It seems that installations could be used for both L09 and L19?

Some part is same on L19 B393, but isnt same in state of changelog like 3D Panorama. Thats why you could use same data on both, or security patch.

hi, if my device is rooted, can I get the ota updates?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] chudy_85:
Only if you use no check recovery from another topic
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
You will receive OTA notification but OTA will fail when it finds your altered partitions:

Recovery (flashed over by TWRP), Boot (by rooting) and System (by uninstalling system apps once you did root).

To overcome, you should make your nandroid backup once you install TWRP and before you start rooting - from this backup you can later restore all the original stock partitions (except Recovery itself) when you would want to go for OTA.

Alternatively, you can just un-root SuperSU or Magisk but in that case you must have made sure that you didn't alter System partition by uninstalling system apps and so..

Finally, for successful OTA you will also need back your stock Recovery - you can extract its img from the appropriate update.zip (to be downloaded by Firmware Finder) by using Windows tool Huawei Update Extractor, and flashed from Fastboot just like you flash TWRP.

You may additionally need to do Factory Reset before OTA (if you seriously affected your firmware by root tricks and you didn't go with restoring the nandroid backup).

Finally, when starting OTA, you can force Full OTA instead of the default delta OTA - by above methods you can assure successful OTA over your previous root.

Or you can manually update by no-check recovery method, as mentioned by [MENTION=4190256]chudy_85[/MENTION] - strictly speaking this is no more updating over the air, but it has its own advantages: you can update to newer builds available from Firmware Finder, before Huawei approves them and starts pushing them over the air

I'm really struggling here.

I cannot fully understand the process. I came from other devices that fullflash repair all, and it can be downgraded from any version (cust)

When I use firmware finder. I get 3 .zip.

But I don't know which one I need to use (for a full clean install), and neither how.

I tried with twrp and gave me errors, I tried extracting in dload and it show an error to.

Can you explain me o link me to a detail structure of the files/process?

Why is so relevant the 432? originally I'm had a Latin unlock 605, but now I want a clean install because I know I did a mess downgrading Nougat to get 432 cust

Brick likelihood?

Hi all,

I'm new to P9 and the unit that I bought was updated OTA to 8.0.0.360(C567) in January when I first powered it up. EMUI version 8.0.0, Android version 8.0.0, model MHA-L29.

It seems that a lot of people in the forum are wanting 8.0.0, but I have the opposite problem. Security patch for this firmware is January 18, 2018 and my employer will disconnect the phone if my patchlevel reaches 3 months old without update (this is coming in 4 days).

I downloaded Firmware Finder and it seems that there are a lot of firmware downloads for MHA-L29 that are newer than January 2018, though Huawei doesn't show them do me. I assume that they are all older versions of Android. BUT, given my problem—

(1) Do any of the other firmwares in firmware finder (C432B366, C185B370, etc.) have security patches newer than January 18, 2018?

(2) If I install them on my MHA-L29C567, will I brick it, or will it install fine and just offer an earlier version of Android (which would be fine) but with a later security patchlevel (which I need if I plan to keep the phone)?

I contacted Huawei and they had absolutely nothing to say ("We have nothing to announce at this time for your phone.")

For example, firmware finder says that MHA-L29 8.0.0.370(C185) is approved for installation. How likely is this to work if I install it? It is dated 2/24, does it have the February 2018 security patchlevel? Even if I can successfully install, will it wipe my phone?

Forgive me if these are dumb questions, please feel free to provide other threads to read.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] chudy_85:

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Yuo could debrand to EVA-L19c432. For that cust (at least for the last eg six months), there will be Nougat update every month.

BUT, they may not be distributed by OTA quickly enough. Eg, it was just released b399 with February security patch, but this one will not be distributed by OTA before the next month or two (it also depends where you leave, and it may happen that you never receive it by OTA)

However, you can force the updates manually, by flashing through No-check Recovery:

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/eva-nocheck-recovery-flash-unapproved-t3705125

Be aware that phone will always reset (you will need to use Huawei Backup app to backup before and to restore upon flashing throughthe No-check Recovery. Not very convenient but possible.

There is an easier, HWOTA method (based on the same No-check Recovery hence it also resets the phone), but here you depend on the 'mercy' of [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], to prepare you the corresponding HWOTA.zip for every new L19c432 build from FirmwareFinder:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74913874&postcount=3

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] can also give you instructions for debranding from L29 to L19 - OOPS, you have Oreo (not Marshmallow or Nougat), I'm not sure could you debrand because for debranding you must be able to downgrade from N to MM

So you are not happy with MRv4..

No, it's not a build.prop edit. It is possible to flash this Firmware with HWOTA method manually and have the Build Number 501 for EVA-L09.

The Firmware contains four zips

The update zip (which is the same for L09 and L19)

The public zip (which is the same for both)

And finally one zip for L09 and the other for L19 depending to the device you have - you use the one of them.

Flashing the three zips for L09 results into b501 with this special recovery you know.
