Make sure it's approved is the first thing you check for.

Then if you get 160 instead of 178 then go back and press cancel then search for update again. It will change to 178 version

But you have to change the dsn to work. Especially while checking for the update. And when it finds it then you can change the wifi to your faster one. It should work. That's how I did it. Goodluck to you.

And make sure you download 178 version instead of 160 version. If you want latest security patch.

Because you won't be able to use firmware finder again after emui 9 update. You'll have to downgrade to emui 8 again.

Goodluck

After following erecovery method i continuously get an error after trying to retrieve from server. Any ideas what is causing this?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] asarrecchia:
Worked for me! Thanks!

Running .178 , btw
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Fredzvw:
Maybe router problem.

I had setup a static ip address on my pc with windows 10. I use the dns address give by FF.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] angelossssss:
I tried what you suggested by hitting cancel on erecovery and retry but after multiple tries it keeps downloading the 160 instead of the 170. I did follow all the steps as they are in the guide. What drives me crazy now with FF is that when i hit check availability on the 160 it says not approved and the 178 says approved. but when i go into erecovery it downloads the 160 ... WTF !
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Weird. Mine always gave me both options when I went back. 160 first then 178 when I went back and tried again.

Just reboot your phone and open up firmware finder again. And make sure you get approved message and register the update.

Keep trying. Trust me it'll work. It might be a while but it'll work. Be patient with it
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CreepingMunster:
Did you use pc as a hotspot? or change the dns in your router?

I've been trying for almost 2 hours, mate. no luck, i give up ...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
That's so weird. Anyone have the same problem. Maybe something helped for you? Maybe it will help him out as well.

Don't lose hope.

You rather have 178 over 160 so just be patient. Maybe it's a glitch or something
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
Same here... while a week back I was able to download and it was failing right at the beginning of install, now it's a random mess: messages saying the firmware was removed, not getting approved no matter how long I press the check button, can't even get the package info from the server... FF seems completely useless at the moment, at least for me.

Well, not same... Can't get pass the approval step.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] angelossssss:
It could be the fact that I have previously registered my device for 160 before, since I was trying to update before 178 was available and FF got stuck with it somehow but I keep having the same issue every time. It registers, it goes into erevovery, downloads till 80% then jumps to 100, tries to install and fails. That's all it does for me with 160 and now no matter what I do, it still downloads the 160. Such utter rubbish, I start to regret picking this phone over the pixel 3 just for the camera
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Do the approval and register for the update multiple times before going into erecovery, maybe that will help.

And I prefer this phone over the pixel anyday. IMHO. Updates aren't everything you know but it helps if the phone was running slow and needed the update which this phone didn't. So I'm happy. But that's just me.. Just be patient. Don't lose hope
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] angelossssss:
Tried that too. Doesn't work unfortunately. It seems like FF is not working at all on my phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Final thing you can try is if you get approval of installation on your phone and registered then format your phone and download firmware finder only on your phone then try again.

But make sure before you do that, you know for sure you're on a custom dsn and can verify that you get the connected to teammt server page when you check for dsn confirmation. Because dsn is key. Won't work without that and the approval of installation
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CreepingMunster:
Uninstall FF, delete teammt folder in files. Without plugging phone in, boot into recovery. Wipe cache and reboot phone. Re install FF. Select .178 update.

Make it approve. Register the erecovery method and make sure in your router you modify primary and secondary DNS to team mt. If you have ipv6 setting in router. Disable it.

Then re try recovery. This is what I did. It took a really long time to download but eventually everything went smoothly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
Yup, did this, got the same issues: can't get past approval and "failed to retrieve package information from server"...

Change dns in wi fi router. And after click like on my video and u gonna update via ota .like me.so easy update to 9 pie
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
So anyone who's asking......

Step by step guide....

Make sure you have access to your router. So you can change your dsn.

1. Download firmware finder app on your phone (you will get error that its not going to work on your phone or something when you start the app, just ignore that and move on)

2. Click on your phone model which should be loaded but if not then search for it. And make sure it's the right model or you might end up bricking your phone. then select the emui 9... .178 update when you click your model number.

3. Now click on "update using erecovery" option

4. Now go into your router settings, whether it's on your phone or laptop, change the settings to the one that's provided on the app. And to confirm that its changed successfully, there is a open query option, just click that and see if you get redirected to the browser to a "connected to teammt" screen. It will be in small letters. If it shows a 404 error screen then it didn't change the dsn and you'll have to try working with it from your router

5. Once you get connected screen then click next and it will ask if you want to check if the firmware is approved to install. Hold the check firmware for approval button and it should say "firmware approved for installation" with the emui version you trying to install.

6. Then click next and it will ask for you to register your update. Click it.

Then click next and it will show you how to get into erecovery.

Click close or done.

7. Now turn your phone off and wait till its completely off.

8. Connect your charger and hold the volume up button and power button at the same time and when you see the huawei texts, let go of the power button but keep holding the volume up button until you get into the erecovery menu.

9. Now connect to the wifi network with the changed dsn and check for firmware updates.

10. It should find the update you want to install

Now wait for it to download and install. Might be a little slow but it should work in the end.

If it gets stuck at a certain percentage then just restart your phone and go back to the same screen using the volume up and power keys. It should go back to the same screen and persentage and you won't lose progress.

Try that and the community will help you if you need more help.

Goodluck :)

If you don't know how to change your dsn settings or don't know how to access your router or modem then go on google and find out because everyone's router and modem is different.

But dsn is the most important step for this or it won't work at all
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mike613ottawa:
Just to confirm, if I install 120 using the FF/erecovery method, would that be the exact same result as installing the official 120 Bell OTA update?

In other words, if I use the FF/erecovery method, would I still theoretically be able to install future Bell OTA updates (in case FF no longer works down the road)?

If so, I plan on installing 178 using FF now, which I assume would be the same as 178 that Bell eventually pushes out waaaay down the road.

Thanks!!

"The firmware is not approved for installation." I guess I'll wait a bit longer...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Yea the Pie update isn't officially out OTA yet for our, Canadian, devices. Only shows up in Firmware Finder but can't be installed. You're not missing anything. I still think It'll be a couple more weeks to next year before we see it OTA. :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Dene_Bluesman:
Installed the new update. My guess it isnt approved because there aren't any carrier apps in that firmware which is nice.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] matever:
How did you install it ? Using firmware finder ? or funky
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
What method did you use to get/do the update?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] PK_Droid:
I have it from a fairly reliable source that the CLT-L04 models will be updated sometime between December 10 and 13. They have been in carrier testing for a while. The schedule is calling for the 13th, but it could be pushed up to the 10th if everything goes smoothly. It's now the 10th as I write this (albeit super early in the morning) and I will update if/when I receive the new firmware on my P20 Pro.

Also, there has been an article published where a Fido representative confirmed a December release of the EMUI 9 for the P20 Pro.

Europe (specifically Croatia and Serbia) are scheduled to receive the Pie update between December 20 and 22
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Hope you're right but I'll Believe it when I see it. You've made "predictions" like this before that weren't accurate. :)

Looks like its only the P20 that they have confirmed, I was also seeing news that the pro will get it a little later. Not significantly but still probably a week or 2 after
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] PK_Droid:
Firmware Finder has EMUI 9 for the CLT-L04 listed (although not yet approved for installation) so it's not a reach to assume they'll be released at the same time or within a close proximity to each other. Also, the original Bell rollout for the P20 *PRO* was scheduled for the December 13 with the possibility of an earlier rollout if all systems tests were done early. Maybe it'll still rollout on the 13th or the 12th with the P20's

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

It could just be because the original question to Bell Support mentions "P20s" without differentiating which models he meant. P20s, in his question could have meant the whole line. I hope Bell responded in generality to the entire line

What about CLT-L04 in the U.S. on ATT?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Wiggums:
My last update was through WiFi. And all phones in Canada are unbranded, it's the law. It's probably safe to say all CLT-L04 phones will get the upgrade, regardless of the location or carrier.

I think you might be confusing unlocked and unbranded.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Mines unlocked and unbranded.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Wiggums:
It's almost the same thing. You wouldn't see phone carrier logos and there seems to be no bloatware at all. Since it's unbranded, it would mean unlocked. I might have confused the two but I don't think any Huawei P20 Pros are branded to any carrier. A lot of the phones sold in Canada aren't because of the law.

There's also this where Huawei states Mate 10, P20 will receive EMUI 9 beginning on the 18 and P20 Pro on the 24th. This would appear to be a global (European, etc) release since Bell in Canada is pushing it out on the 12th.

Re: eRecovery update

You need to change the DNS in your Internet router. Or create a hotspot in windows 10 and change the DNS in the hotspot connection and your wifi connection.

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

Changing the DNS on your p20 is not enough. It must be changed in your router settings.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Hello again, (back)

The best way to do the update is to create an hotspot on your computer. (whatever OS, but use only one dns, the one FF provide)

1. You need a wifi adapter, something your computer have already.

2. Open Settings (W10), Network & Internet, Mobile Hotspot, setup a name and a password.

2.5 Once the virtual interface is created, open Change adapter options.

3. Right click on both interface and do this, Properties, You will see Ipv4 and blabla, select and properties again.

now set the first option to get an ip automatic and Select Use the following dns, enter the FF one (both interfaces)

4. Use your phone to connect to this hotspot, run FF, register for update.

5. Shutdown, boot in erecovery, d/l.

Note: I would consider to moniter the virtual interface on windows, servers are

a lot loaded and may stall for somes seconds with a results of "getting package... failed".

Do not reboot or restart the phone if it happen, use Change to reconnect to the hotspot again,

it will resume the d/l.

Example: Took arround 1h38 to download and failed maybe 10-15 times, just had to reconnect to the wifi

and the download resumed.

Pictures of what it is supossed to look:

https://imgur.com/a/bh1iE3H

Edit: If when you register for update and see an ipv6 adress, it's going to fail.

There is an option for that, use FF (PC version) and register at the same time with your

Phone and the app, it will use your ipv4 IP on PC.

This worked for me, I was stock with .122 d/l and failing everytime, I may have tried

to register with this version 2-3 weeks ago, don't know why exactly it's doing this.

But, I registred with FF using the PC version and my Phone and everything when smooth.

the problem, I don't have a router or a computer that can plug in an adapter wtf do I do now????????
