I attempted this method on my US phone , using win 10.

I followed the guide and was able to connect to the phone. It found update v109 (as I chose in firmware finder..) but the download failed. I revoked permissions and reconnected but it still failed.

My dns setting on the wifi laptop is correct, but I remembered that my internet provider uses their own DNS settings that I CANNOT change on my router. So is it possible that the download fails because I'm not really reaching the servers??

Or could yet another roadblock exist with this foresaken phone?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 0alfred0:
As I said, I had the same no-ota issue with the fh beta firmware 141. eRecovery helped me to get back to 137 then I received the OTA142 immediately after setting up the phone.

Fh support always told me updates work fine and I have to wait but it never did arrive...I think sometimes they don't know 100% what they are doing

At least you can go into eRecovery and see if it is working at all and finding any firmware. You don't have to download and install it.

I Just tried, im getting package info fail! Nevermind buddy, i Just start to sell my Phone online ! Lets see If i can sell for the right price, otherwise i will pay the $100 to FH.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
So you prefer to pay FH 100 bucks instead of using the DLOAD method? ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] felipy2k:
Im afraid of brick the phone !
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
You can't brick with DLOAD, it will either work or not, but it won't harm your device.

Like i said, the only downside is that when your bootloader it's unlocked, dload method will lock it again.Just make sure you are using the correct firmware for your device.

However, it's your call!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] madphone:
Can anybody explain why firmware finder still tells me that BLA-L29432B150 (8.0.0.150) is still not approved for me? Am i screwed and won't receive OTA anymore since i updated to 148 by FF DNS Method?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
Yiu guys are doing a brain overkill for this stuff. It's not approved for me, it's not approved for you and maybe a lot others.

It means that you have to wait, that's all. And obviously nobody could answer your question exactly, not without a magic crystal ball.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] madphone:
Thank you Sir for the nice and helpful answer. In my understanding firmwares got approved by region model (in this case c432), but this seems to be different now. Ok, i'll live with it. Was hoping that 150 maybe improved the camera a bit, cause right now it is really mediocre (nexus 6p from 2015 beats it most of the time).
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 0alfred0:
Even though it's not approved for you, you can still read the changelog lol

Only August security patches

Worked for me. Now im on B150. Only problem i had was connecting hisuite. Even debugging was on and data mode on i had to try a few times to connect. Exit Hisuite and start again until it connects if you have the issue. Thank you a lot for the post!

Hi all,

What about going to the ProjectMenu by dialing in the code and forcing the update from there? Will it work with the downloaded firmware from MT? And especially - will it work with the Full OTA?

Do you know if it does factory reset as the dload method?

I'd like to try it out as I own Honor 9 and the latest approved sw version is 3 versions ahead of the one I have installed but of course my phone does not detect any updates :(

Thank!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
It won't work with firmwares from Firmware Finder.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] digeetal:
It won't work with files from FF because of the same reason - Oreo update failing the regular FF update-trick process? Or because Full OTA or becouse FUll OTA from FF? Or is there another reason?

And what about the dload method - will this work instead for the Full OTA?

I found a resource in the net: https://mytipsblogblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/04/how-to-use-firmware-finder/

It's already 1 yr old and I'm not sure whether it will work now with Oreo and I don't work to brick my phone.

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
The Project Menu method it's nothing else than another way to start DLOAD.

Dload firmwares are different because don't need online checking.

Firmwares from FF need online approval, otherwise won't install.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] digeetal:
Ok thanks a lot for the explanation. So even if I download FF Full OTA that is shown as approved for installation for me - this won't work?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
Exactly, it won't work.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] dedeman89:
I would like to ask to be 100% sure - does this method change xloader version from 01 to 02 if rom is 02? Thanks for clarification.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
Yes, if you are on a 01 firmware and update to one with 02,then yes, you will be stuck on 02.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] dedeman89:
Is there any disadvantage of being on xloader 02, apart of brick during downgrade to 01?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
No, so far that's the only downside, you can't downgrade to a 01 firmware.

Hi all

I'm still a noob so sorry if my questions sound dumb.

I have the P8 Lite(2017) at the moment I am rooted and have a custom ROM installed.

But the problem is, I want to update to Android Oreo, but all the methods require that I manually install them with an SD Card. The problem with that is that my SD Card doesn't work anymore so I wondered if I can use this app(DNS method) to upgrade from EMUI 5 to 8?

Any help would be appreciated!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] AadilRX8:
Hi All,

I've got a Mate 10 Pro, BLA-L29. Was C185, rebranded to C432. Manually updated to B149 using HWOTA.

I've also relocked the bootloader to avoid bootscreen warning. Other than that, phone is stock.

Followed the procedure and the update for C432B150 appeared within HiSuite. Download completed, install completed, however, when the device restarted, software install failed at 6%. I tapped "reboot system now", phone rebooted.

The phone is functional, still on B149.

Any idea why the update may have failed??? Not sure if the HWOTA recovery is still present after pushing the Full-OTA of B149.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks

Aadil
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
Retry to search for update, an when/if founded, choose to download latest full firmware.

I had the same issue when i updated to B150, it failed and then i had to use a full firmware.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] AadilRX8:
Thanks, just to confirm, within firmwarefinder, i should choose b150 full-ota, then register update?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
No, you should try with original HiSuite, because Firmware Finder doesn't work anymore with FullOTAs.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Adweliar:
Hi,

I have tried to make to do a C782 to C432 change. The FF show my phone could use that Firmware too. I only need for the dual sim option.

I set up how I saw here, finally shows the new update, but when the program tries to download after a few second shows it download failed.

I used already 3 different type of network connection but always shows the same message.

Could anyone give a solution for this problem?

Thanks. :)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
It's called a rebrand.

FF and this method won't do it.

Thanks Pretoriano80, It picked up the Full-OTA, downloaded, but the install process took about 2hours just to get to 15%. So i eventually killed it. Will have to leave it overnight. Will report soon.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scalpos:
For BLA-L29, GPU Turbo only comes with firmwares 148 & 150
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 0alfred0:
Not true. Version numbers are different for each region. C432 has GPU Turbo starting from version 148.

C185 has different version numbers.

You do have GPU Turbo. Have a look in the changelog in FirmwareFinder. You wont see an app called GPU Turbo, though there is a Gaming suite where you can add games. if you start these games from gaming suite you will not receive notifications etc while gaming. GPU turbo has to be supported by game developers anyway right now it is only pubg and legends. I noticed a big difference, since i play pubg a lot and previously it was not a good experience. Now framerate is much more stable - no drops anymore.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] gbman54:
Thanks you, actually I'm not looking for a GPU app it's just from other screenshots I saw in about phone next to the version number it says GPU turbo that's why I was wondering if something was wrong with my phone[emoji16]

As you can see below mine doesn't say anything!

thanks again
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] AadilRX8:
Ended up manually pushing .150 through HWOTA. Once wifi connected, An update appeared in "system update" c432patch01. About 1.5mb. ChangeLog shows "This update fixes an issue where the screen would occasionally display erratically when playing certain PUBG games"

Phone seems stable, Speaker sounds louder as well.

Hopefully OTA's would come through automatically now.

Inviato dal mio BLA-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
It means its not approved yet for OTA, so with stock it won't install. DNS method hasn't worked since May or something like that.

For dns method I'm referring to the guide in the first page, doesn't it work?

But it won't install using the guide either if firmware isn't approved.

you were/are right , i jumped the gun when i presumed that the method was dead, i'm currently updating my P20 Lite from ANE-LX1 8.0.0.154(C432) (stock , locked bootloader) to ANE-LX1 8.0.0.160(C432)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] L3onX:
Sorry, but I do not understand the usefulness of being able to install with this method only an approved firmware since theoretically being approved should be installable directly in via OTA.

Inviato dal mio BLA-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] touns_j:
That is not necessarily true, a firmware can be approved and not be pushed via OTA. For instance in my case, i was stuck on the July update( ANE-LX1 8.0.0.145(C432)) even though 3 subsequent updates had already been approved for my device namely ANE-LX1 8.0.0.149(C432), ANE-LX1 8.0.0.154(C432) and ANE-LX1 8.0.0.160(C432)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 0alfred0:
Additionally it is helpful for people who do not want to wait the period from approval till ota. some people reported updates to take up to 4 weeks to reach their device. It is frustrating to see everyone playing around with face unlock or nightmode when you are stuck on older firmware. Its like skipping the line in a crowded shopping mall.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] yoallen78:
Hi All! I have a few silly questions (which will help me NOT brick my device):

1) Do I need to uninstall Magisk prior to using this method? I assume that I do need to but want to confirm.

2) (IF APPLICABLE) Do I need to check the "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" checkbox prior to uninstalling Magisk?

3) I am assuming that I am using the FirmwareFinder app on my mobile device and not the desktop version?

Never mind on this question - I re-read through the instructions and saw that it is implied that the FirmwareFinder app on the phone is being used.

4) I have a Mate 10 (ALP-L29 C605) and the latest approved firmware is ALP-L29C605B140 (8.0.0.140). Has anyone installed this firmware via this method and been able to successfully install Magisk again?

5) Do I need to have already downloaded the approved ota update (the smaller package and not the full OTA)?

Thanks in advanced all!

Couldn't Get Past No Internet Connection in HiSuite

Hi All,

As a follow-up to my previous post - I uninstalled magisk as a precautionary method and proceeded to follow the instructions.

Even after changing the DNS settings on my computer (using Wi-Fi and LAN connections) - HiSuite reported no internet connection everytime I pressed on Update.

I made sure that my Antivirus was disabled and I even restarted both my phone and laptop multiple times to ensure that there wasn't anything running to prevent the update from happening.

Do I have to change the DNS settings on my router as well as my computer or just on the computer alone?

Please help!

HiSuite 5.0.2.300's DNS trick is great for upgrading with OTA-MF firmware on locked bootloaders.

About developers version shown, any differences noticed ?

Do you think this DNS method could be adapted to be used in eRecovery ?

(the way FH does or an other)

It seems a bit of additional php code would be needed for erecovery use.

As I noticed eRecovery was OK to downgrade ro the latest approved on erecovery with a locked bootloader.

But erecovery only showing the latest approved and I would have like to downgrade to approved one juste before the latest via erecovery...

Any tips ro provide ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] touns_j:
uninstall Hisuite on both your device and PC, reboot them , re-install time, go to your network card property, change the dns ( untick ipv6) and tick the validate upon exit option ( ignore the error windows will pop up)

open Hisuite , connect your device top your pc and click on update , be patient , sometimes it takes a bit longer and few tries are needed for Hisuite to find the firmware update

ps: make sure that the network where you got your firmware validated on firmware finder is the same network on your pc

So for OP's trick, using FirmwareFinder DNS with HiSuite 5 and OTA-MF firmware : It seems it's no need to keep spamming 'FirmwareFinder DNS' once download has started.

By the way I'm looking for means to downgrade via erestore with locked bootloader because I know for sure :

- eRestore can soft downgrade to latest approved 'fetched in eRestore ' FullOTA-MF

- FunkyHuawei can make you pay to use eRestore to upgrade to custom? firmwares after choosen from your FH interface...

- It has been said it has been done recently with FF DNS and ~20 php lines to dirty achieve this locally...

This would enable downgrading on locked bootloaders.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnyman25:
U just need dns server from ff till hisuite finds the update.

After that return to ur regular dns and start download update.
