[Q] Can I use HiSuite to update B119SP01 to EMUI3._4.4_5..2.1 on phone thats rooted?

I rooted my phone a few months ago which has prevented me from receiving OTA update. Is it possible to update from B119SP01 to the H60-L02_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_5.2.1 using the EMUI update option on PC? I've looked through this entire forum and haven't seen anyone mention updating this way, it seems too simple, will I brick my phone if I do this?

root does not prevent receiving OTA.
Any method of update (OTA, Local, PC) will failed if you don't have stock recovery, local.prop and build.prop.
All information you need have been posted many times in here so you have to look better.

Thanks for your reply. You are right the information has been posted, but it is not particularly specific, especially for script-kiddies like me who don't really understand what's going on. For example your post
"How to install Stock ROM:
Warning: You need to have stock recovery, /system/build.prop and /data/cust/prop/local.prop.
DON'T forget to set permissions to rw-r--r-- (644) after you restore build.prop and local.prop.
Download and unzip to get "dload" folder with "UPDATE.APP" inside.
Put "dload" folder with "UPDATE.APP" inside, to root of your SD.
(you will NOT lose your data) Open "Updater" > "Menu" > "Local update".
or
(You will lose your data)Turn off your phone and activated by holding all three buttons (Vol-, Vol+, Power)."
1. Should the stock recovery be for the current build I have or the one I am upgrading to? Should I place the stock recovery in SD card or Internal card?
2. What does it mean to set permission to rw-r--r-- (644), do I do that on my computer?
3. " Open "Updater" > "Menu" > "Local update"." Where exactly do I do this? On the phone's Updates menu there is no option for "Local Update"
I know these are newb questions, and I really appreciate your help.

1. You need to read this thread too.
2. You root your phone but you dont understand this? Why you root it then? Googlle it.
3. Stock ROMs got that option, if you cant find it use local update from HiSuite is the same.

I ended up flashing back the stock recovery with the mini tool then doing a local update via hisuite then restored my data through a titanium backup. Thanks for your help.

Root
How did u root the phone?, I can't root it :/

Security Error Authentifican Fail #9

H950 5.1.1 11x is there anything i can do? I can basically only enter Firmware update mode.

There is a restore tool for h950.
Good luck!

That requires putting the img file on the internal storage which i dont have access to because it wont boot into android

If you read the guide you can use external sd too...

i think you removed/freezed to much LG stuff i had the same error some time ago ...
here is how to fix it:
0. put your phone in firmware-update-mode
1. download latest .kdz for your phone
2. download lg flash tool 2014 (google it)
3. select in the tool the kdz and hit "CSE" (or something like that, but not "Normal"
4. then only click all the submit/ok/start buttons and wait
5. everything is fine

KDZ method doesn't work for H950 using 5.1.1...ATT has never released the tot/kdz file for this and many other LG models...

if you freezed apps: you have a problem
if you deleted apps: try to restore your phone from external sd

Stock EMUI Huawei download link?

Hi,
Does anyone have the link for the Stock GEM-703L EMUI ROM from Huawei.com?
I would like to completely reflash my device and need a trusted source link.
Thanks in advance.

HI Letschky, thanks for the reply. This is a very useful and comprehensive resource! Thanks for putting that together
Unfortunately this does not currently include a Huawei direct link for GEM-703L B112 but only B109. Might you have this for B112? That would be amazing if so.

Never mind, the B109 link is now automatically a B112 link and I believe I have what I need!
Thanks again. To flash this, do I just download it onto a desktop and use HiSuite? Would this remove and reflash EVERY partition on the device? I am looking to flash because I bought this phone second-hand from someone who has already locked the bootloader and I want to be sure it is completely safe.
Thanks.

Download,Copy the Update.App in internal or external Memory in dload Folder,you have no dload folder then create this folder.
Go in settings to Updateprogram -Menu-Local Update and choose the update app and wait until it makes a reboot

Thanks. I had just another couple of quick questions.
* As I said above I bought this device second-hand with the bootloader already unlocked. I then used the Vol Dn + Power to do a wipe on cache and data, and shortly thereafter downloaded and installed update B112 via Settings -> Updater. How is it that Google Services Framework is a system app under "Networked apps"? This leads me to believe my system partition is not "stock" from Huawei.
* If I downloaded and installed update B112 via Settings -> Updater, is that the same as using what I downloaded via the Huawei link you provided and following the instructions in your last post?
Thanks very much

Yes,Google Framework is in System on it and yes this is the same from Huawei Server and is Original Stockrom.

Letschky, thanks for this information. I was worried that because GSF was a system app my sys partition was modified but after second thought the likelihood of this is possible but low since the UPDATE.APP flashes every partition besides the data partition which I also wiped when first acquiring the device . As such, the only way the device could be compromised is if something was copied into the data partition between the time I wiped it and when I updated to B112 - low probability.
Please correct me if I am wrong and sorry for being so picky.

No updates. Ever.

Hi All
Hope you can help (because Huawei can't..)
I've had a Mate 8 for just under a year now and i've never had an update. Not one. A close friend bought one at the same time (different place) and has recently had the EMUI 5 update. I am still on EMUI 4.0 and have not had a security update since feb 2016. The handset was originally purchased in Germany and besides the update issue has worked flawlessly here in the UK. I would like the update however and do n ot mind if its manual and not OTA but Huawei are unable to offer anything like a solution. Does anyone know how i can update this handset without bricking it which is what concerns me. If it helps it is as follows:
NXT-L29
Build: NXT-L29C900B170
EMUI 4.0
Android 4.0
Thanks in advance

Hi,you have Global Version.I think for C900 there is no Ota Update,i can't see in the Firmware List
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate-8-stock-firmware-official-t3391727
I converted my C636 to C432 and all Ota Updates is coming

Ah ok, I've had 'global version' mentioned to me before. How can I convert to a different C variant and if I do do you think that will enable ota updates?

I think you can update to NXT-L29C432B192 via "dload". If it works, then Nougat update will be available. But for more sure, let's other guys from this forum confirm that.
Good luck.

OK, thanks for the info.
Since had it confirmed that the hadset is a US variant (San Diego) and as such is trying to connect to US servers not UK which is why it can't the OTA update.
With this in mind will the dload method still work and if so, and sorry to be a total novice, but how to i do the dload method? (massively do not want to brick the phone)
Thanks again all,

1. Download the update on the computer.
2. Unzip.
3. Create a folder "dload" on micro SD card and copy only UPDATE.APP inside.
4. Turn off the phone and put mitsro SD card.
5. Turn ON the phone.
6. Go to "Updater" and click on "Local update".
That is it.
If update is not suitable to your phone "Installation failed" will be displayed at the screen and phone will be turn to the present state.

Hi All
I did all above as requested. Could not l;ocate 'uploader' so applied a hard reset and the phone updated although only the security patch.
As it stands build number is the same and no new update available.
Updater appears in the app list but no where to be found on the phone and the update in settings provides no 'local update' option.
Odd?

If upload is make it right in this menu after pres three dots shut be option "Lokal Update".

Only get this. Is there a zip to the build number you just posted? Would that work?

Sorry, I don't know why that happens. Does the phone detect micro SD card? Format again and create dload folder (without quotes), then proceed step by step.
That's all I can advise you.

I have no idea. But date 25.May.2011 looks strange. Download again ZIP and try to extract UPDATE tile with another program.
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/10/download-huawei-mate-8-b192-marshmallow-update-europe/

I have the version L09C636B191
Could I also convert to another version that would have nougat? Do we need an actual SD card? Or just put it in the root folder of our phone?

Enter *#*#2846579#*#* in the Dialer and a menu will open.
Select Software Upgrade--> SDCard Upgrade and then Ok.

Hi All,
I've tried again, this time using the newer link file. The phone processes the update all the way through but after restart the build number remains the same:
NXT-L29C900B192
And as such no EMUI 5.0 update is available. Is there anything else i can try? Is there an update file that relates spcifically to the above build number maybe?
Thanks again for all your help,

Hey Guys,

The problem is, that I couldnt find a step by step manual or tutorial how to get the things done. I dont want to crash my device or lost any data, settings or customizations. I hope someone can help me or send me a link. Thank you so far.

Hi
It is not hard to do the update, and if you follow step by step it will nothing happen and nothing will crash
But since you want to update to Android Nougat 7 and want to have the EMUI 5 you can do it in two different way
First way and maybe very noob friendy and maybe the way to do it if you dont care about the latest possible Nougat 7
That would be in this way
Do it over the phone settings
Just do the given update to MM B131
And it will do the update to B131 and dont need to worry anything
After that one it should give you also an update over the phone settings to B360 wich is nougat android 7
BUT maybe it will give you just a newer version like B380 depanding on the region
For me it updated to B360
This way all you need to do is just check for updates in the phone settings and click on update the phone
After you do the update to Nougat android 7 and EMUI 5 it is recommended to do after that an factory reset
The factory reset you do also from the phone settings and it will wipe all of your data
So do a back up on your PC or on the SD card of your files
The apps you will have to reinstall from play store..
The second way I would recommend to you only if you care to have the very latest nougat wich is B381
If you want the latest like the B381 than you can save your self the trouble to update over the phone settings
Just do this
Download from this post there is an link given to mega uploads
Go to this post and download the latest B381
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72183284&postcount=46
When you have downloaded the latest firmware couse you want the very latest
Then extract the ZIP you have downloaded
You will get two ZIP files inside of the big one
Then create on the microSD card one folder with the name dload
Then do some more unzipping
First unzip the update.zip file and put it in the created dload folder on the SD card
You will have to put 3 files in that folder...
Look at the picture in the attachment how the files look like..
After you have moved the 3 files from update.zip to sd card
Dial this in you phone dialer
*#*#2846579#*#*
It will open one new window and than select firmware upgrade
Then select from sd card
It will ask you if you are sure than select yes and it will take few minutes like 6-7 minutes
And it will flash the first 3 files that you copied to the sd card..
The phone will restart from it self
Then delete all the files you have firstly moved to dload folder
Now when it is empty unzip the other full ota ZIP file
It will also give you 3 files like the first time
Like the first time move them to sd card to dload folder
Then again do the dial with the same process again
Select firmware upgrade
Then from SD card
Then select yes I am sure to install from the sd card
Now it will take less time to do the install
After you do this two installs you should do a factory reset
It usally help to fix some bugs wich can or dont have to be after a firmware update
But usally it is recommended to do it..
That would be that..
Just look the picture what files to have in the dload folder not to get confused
If this helps hit Thanks
If you unsure of something ask again
Will help again

thank you for that extensive answer.

But what about the unlocked bootloader, xposed, etc.? Can I just click update with a rooted device?

No. It won't work.
You'll have to flash the stock recovery.
And magisk and such won't work after.
The easiest way is to reflash stock recovery, do all the updates over OTA, and then re-root.
