I second this.

I am currently running on 8.2.0.133 in a COR-L29C636 and firmware finder says that it is approved for 9.0.0.156 COR-L29C636, I have done everything from changing the DNS, registering update went to erecovery, was able to download the package which afterwards verified the package which then rebooted my phone. Upon unlocking my phone and going to system updates, I checked for new updates but still got nothing. It still said that my EMUI 8.2 is up to date.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] subin sv:
Same here..
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] garytoman78@gmail.com:
That is fantastic, however I don't own a Honor10. I am not doubting it doesn't work on other phones but I assure you it doesn't work on the honor play, showing screenshots of other Honor phones is irrelevant.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
While downloading from erecovery did it download 8.2.0.133 or 9.0.0.156 ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] subin sv:
It's 9.0.0.156

Update downloaded successfully on erecovery.

Verification succeeded.

But installation failed.

Again I checked system updates, but no luck.

Am currently on 8.2.0.141
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] garytoman78@gmail.com:
I keep getting people sending me screenshots with other models, my firmwares are showing approved. When going to erecovery all I get is my current firmware. I'm looking for answers to the Honor play not other Honor phones. Thanks forverifying that as some people don't listen eh. ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
The erecovery screen is as followed

Downloading package from server

Version: COR-L29 8.2.0.133

Size: 4009 M

I have noticed this as well but chose to ignore it.

I am positive that I have done everything correctly. I checked the availability which said it was available for my version. I have checked if the DNS was working through opening the webpage given by Firmware Finder which then showed "Connected to TeamMT".
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Whats your variant is it COR-L29C432 ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
Same here.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
See thats the reason the package it download is

Version: COR-L29 8.2.0.133

hence it failed to install as its an incompatible package

have you modified your device ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] subin sv:
COR-ALOO
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
What do you mean by modified?

This Honor Play is about 2 weeks old and I have only updated to 8.2.0.133 the day I got it and only installed a launcher. That is all I have done
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Is it a Chinese variant ?

Here is the conformation from another COR-AL00 user

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78558551&postcount=3
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] subin sv:
Nope. It is Indian variant.

But yes my phone is modified. I have TWRP installed. May be that's the issue.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
What do you mean by modified?

This honor play is about 2 weeks old and I updated it to 8.2.0.133 as soon as I got it and I have only installed and set Nova Launcher as my default launcher if that counts as modification

You should be on stock and system should not be modified.

BTW i cant see the screen shot posted earlier upload to other site and share the link.

COR-L29C636. I believe it is part of the first batch to receive the EMUI 9 stable release but have not received it since then
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] subin sv:
:( I checked the first post, tried and reported you the failure..

Just went through other comments to find out the system should not be modified.. :D

So updated you.

Thanks bro
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
Just added info,

According to firmware finder,

9.0.0.156 COR-L29C636 is approved for me
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
I hope you meant

>find out the system should not be modified

Are yar nahi yar in log me ek admi hi dusre account se likh raha hai , mai inko madad karneke kosish kar raha hu par in log to vaise kar raha hai. Tujse se kuch gusse nahi hai yar.

Just install stock recovery and try again and BTW y did you install only TWRP ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] subin sv:
Yes I meant should not be.

I don't understand Hindi bro.

Sure will install stock recovery and will give it a try. I installed TWRP to get Magisk.. But later removed magisks. Only TWRP left now.

I have tried other firmwares that were available for my device but not for my version, but still no luck.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] garytoman78@gmail.com:
for me it downloaded my latest which is 8.2.0.132. I don't have any options for 8.2.0.133 or 9.0.0.156 but it does state that 9.0.0.156 and my current firmware are approved. I'm really puzzled by this.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

according to ff the 9.x.x.156 is available for installation and approved. My model is COR-l29 c432gt. not sure what the GT means but for this my current firmware is the latest so I will just need to wait. I'm on 8.x.x.132 which does have some Pie features like full gestures and HiVision etc.... I'm really confused.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

my model is COR-L29C432GT. Not sure what GT stands for but according to ff my latest model is 8.x.x.132. even though it says 9.0.0.156 that firmware doesn't have GT at the end. looks like I will just need to wait.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
If you followed the process as instructed by the OP you would definitely receive the stable Android Pies at the system update. I did it not quite long on my Honor Play. It is COR-L29. Perhaps, changing the DNS of your router might make a difference.

You can try the process again.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

We have the same variant of Honor Play. It worked for me by using the OP instructions. I have two Honor Play of the same variant. One is based on carrier and the other is unlocked.

I believe the GT in the reference stands for Graphics Processing Unit Turbo.

Repeat the process and you will definitely get stable Android Pie at your system update.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] garytoman78@gmail.com:
Makes absolutely no difference, I've repeated the steps numerous times as has other users with this device, I've changed DNS settings, VPN clients you name it, I can download the 9.0.0.156 and it's located beside my ff files, when I use erecovery it only finds the latest 8.0.0.132. It doesn't work for my device and many others so I will just wait, I don't mean to be rude but the comments are not helpful as I have used ff many times with other models. Thanks for your input though.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

I have followed the instructions numerous times, as has other users, It doesn't work I can assure you. changing DNS and downloading anything is pointless because it does not work, my latest is approved for my IMEI as is the latest 9.x.x.156 when this is put into erecovery it does not find anything apart from the latest 8.x.x.132 that I am currently on already.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
I am positive that the DNS was working since the webpage that Firmware Finder prompted me to open to test if the DNS was working displayed that I was now connected TeamMT server.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
Is your IMEI approved during the FF procedures? I am curious about why you aren't receiving the Android Pie.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Yes, the erecovery will only find Version 8.2 and when your system tries to install it then it fails. All you need to do next is check for update at your system update at the Setting. It will come if you are patient enough. It's what I did on the unlocked Honor Play and I received the stable Android Pie.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] garytoman78@gmail.com:
It finds 8.2 in erecovery and installs it again, it doesn't fail at any stage. I will wait it out though. Thanks.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
Yes my IMEI was approved. I have followed the instructions to the letter but I only end up downloading the same version that I have during the erecovery. Since you mentioned it, i'll wait for 24 hours for the update to come in System Update then ill post a reply on this thread again.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] garytoman78@gmail.com:
Yes I'm exactly the same, doesn't work so I will just wait it out.

Yes bro , I configured everything and also it says "connected to TM server" , but failed to get info during erecovery step .. Without dns , server gets me .141 build ... Is there any need to open up ports or something to clear up connection to TM host ?

I tried this step to update from .141 to .150 ( approved version for me ) . Lucky HiSuite recognized update but during recovery it ended up with incorrect package .. Now trying to download pie (.156) .

You updated on Honor Play or Honor 10 ?

Both. The instructions are same for all emui 8.x.

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AjayRio18:
I also bricked my HP , but dont worry .. Clear the dns to original dns in router and reboot the HP in erecovery mode and click download rom and recovery , it will take time and do job well ..

To enter erecovery , switch off ur phone . Press vol up button and connect either power cable or data cable and u get into erecovery.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

I tried with another pie build number which is not approved , but ended up with bricking my HP and later recovered .. Im tried now with approved one ..

trying for some hours now but nothing to do, hisuite forced in some way the flash of COL that is honor 10 on my Play and even if erecovery is showing there is no way to repair, i think it's gone :(
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AjayRio18:
Just go to service centre and pretend like today i got .141 update and after that update bootloop problem occurs .. They simply download Zip file and force flash it .. It can take upto 4-5hrs..
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Just go to service center and pretend OTA bricked your device its quite common they wont argue much if you can convince them as your device is still bootloader locked they wont even get to know you tried to update with erecovery.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] saymonek:
Doesnt work for me, i got error in erecovery after downloading new 9.0 firmware which was signed and available in firmware Finder.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
What error did you get ? Is it package info getting failed ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] saymonek:
No, that step passed, but after downloading new firmware erecovery checked that file and after that i got some error, cant quote it, was like not proper firmware. This firmware was signed for sure and ready for install in firmware Finder.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AjayRio18:
are you sure that you successfully updated from .141 to .156 on Honor Play ? If so , tell me whether it show approved in ff or not. Bcuz , file is dwnld and flashed via HiSuite (asper ur mentioned method ), but it keeps loop on erecovery .
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] arunzone:
Yes. Im sure.

It will show available only if you changed your dns. Be sure to check it before you install.

If you got your device bricked, try to download the latest rom from e-recovery. [if you have wifi access]

or

Try System Recovery from Hi-suite. [be sure to change the DNS to default before trying this]
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JGerard15:
As of today, I have received my Pie update in my System Update. I am still unaware as to how, if it was due to me registering my device for the Pie update in Firmware Finder through the process posted by the author of this thread despite not being able to actually install the Pie update since I was only able to download 8.2 in erecovery, I also changed back to my default DNS. This update would have also been made possible since my device 8.2.133 CORL29 C636 was part of the first batch to receive the update.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AjayRio18:
yes bro , i changed dns and tried 3 pie files ( dated different ) with both HiSuite and eRecovery , verifying package and installation of upfate is sucess..But when I try to sart the phone ,it loops back to erecovery .

Hi, Europe here.

Downloaded the firmware finder and loo and behold, I get a list with tons of updates, which frankly rather demotivate me from updating since I don't know if these versions are betas or stable versions.

Also there is a rather old version which has higher version number than its newer counterparts. What should I do?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AjayRio18:
Used the same file, but I don't know why my device keeps loopsick at erecovery.. BTW what's ur variant? Mine is 6gb..

Currently I'm on. 141 and I experience battery drain issue.. But 6 of my friends who have 4gb variant also on. 141 does not experience drain issue.. I don't know why.

I'm not sure what you missed.

I cant help that regards with you, It worked for many Honor Play users in the thread itself I can find successfully updated users. You and one other user are the only one it doesnt work even after following all steps. For others it was other technical issues.
