Hi every body, before i begin, sorry if my english is bad and also sorry if i'm a total noob.
Well I tried to update my mate 7 to lollipop but there were no official ROM so I tried the beta. I've read that i must be on b137 then update to b308 and finally update to b317 which is more stable. The problem is I'm rooted so the update don't complete it shows me an error message. I think the only solution is to flash the stock rom but I don't know how. Can somebody help me pleeeease :crying:
thanks
Download and extract the B137 rom from here from http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei_firmware_downloads/ascend-mate-7-downloads/ and put the dload folder to your external sdcard and go to the Updater app and choose local update, then flash the B308 and B317 OTA update and factory reset. Better unroot before flashing to avoid issues. Good luck mate

Try a data factory reset to get rid of residu files and what rom are you on right now, do you have the stock recovery?
Hi all. I was just wondering if mate 7 gets a lollipop update and EMUI 3.1 will that be worldwide or just for specific countries? I'm in Nz and Huawei Nz tol dme we won't be getting EMUI 3.1 but will get lollipop. if that's the case I wonder how long it'll take to get Marshmallow at all.
Cheers

Lets hope they skip Lollipop all together and focus on Marshmellow now, otherwise we`ll get it by the end of next year
But i must say i don`t miss Lollipop to be honest and the B145 KK build is rock solid in batterylife.

Getting Lollipop took ages I worry Marshmallow will take another 3 years!! What abut EMUI? I'm in NZ and I've been told New Zealand won't be getting 3.1

Can`t imagine 5.1.1 will not contain EMUI 3.1 on all firmwares all over the world.

I've already tried a factory reste and it didn't work. I am on the B137 P03 and I don't think I have another recovery than the stock one because I didn't change anything.
One more thing : after an unsuccessful update when I look to the system infos I found that I have 5.0 in the Android version and EMUI 3.0 not 3.1. But the rom is still B137 :/ I don't understand

I was looking at the Moto G5 plus today, I'm debating man.
Strange that the date of the B381 build is 06.03.2017, whereas it only got released yesterday. It's probably not going to be worth the hassle.

There nothing strange about this.
Often the case the dates of data or OS is older then the release dates, so there nothing strange about this statement.

True, but previously the build and release dates were close . According to the build date this soft is only 4 days younger than B380, but it's been published on the server over a month later which the small bump in the version number seems to confirm.
Hi Guys ,
i am using FRD-L19C432
it came with B131 , and i used FF to upgrade to B360 , things were fine .. i thought i would go to B380 , but everytime i download and install it , system stays at B360 , so i rolled back to B131 today ... and i need your help because i feel kinda lost how to proceed.
1- should i go from B131 to B380 ?? or B381 directly ?
2- is there a way to flash the firmware from SD ? everytime i try that it fails at 5 % ( incompatibility issues ) .. i am sure i got the correct firmware.
so every time i want to try something , i have to download using FF , which is not that fast ..
please give me a hint , how to proceed.
3- i am lost in the updates too some are FULL OTA MF , others have another letters like PV .. what are those ?
thanks for your help <3 <3
Just an FYI, I was able to flash L04-B360 from TWRP. YMMV of course, as to whether that works with this update.
B131 - B381 via charles not working here (all looks good until it reboots, then fail to verifying update package)
Hi all
My honor 8 just arrived yesterday,
Turned it on and it prompted me for a software update and it went in to a boot-loop.
Not sure what fw it was on before the update, also unsure what version it was upgrading to.
Later found out trough fastboot that it is (FRD-L19C636B386).
Tried to factory reset (no luck)
Tried eRecovery method, keeps showing (Getting package info failed)
Tried the 3 finger method with FRD-L19C636B380, keeps showing (Software install failed Get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore)
Tried to flash trough fastboot, unfortunately it can't be done without unlocking the bootloader.
Wanted to unlock the bootloader but seems like it requires the phone to be able to boot to OS before I can get the unlock code.
Anyone having the same issue or have other alternatives/solutons for me to try?
Cheers!
Try rollback package
Rommco05 said:
Here you can find how get unlock code when you can't boot to rom. For this use program which is in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-func-11-recovery-image-t3656979/post73420440 is a ID and other staff generator

Hi I also have L19 and trying to update to B380 from B360 thru OTA using Firmware Finder. And your issue happened to me. It just bootloops then goes to eRecovery but it has error " Getting package into failed".
So can you help me step by step on how you fixed your phone? Thanks!
Tried using Rollback package. but now my new error is "Data partition was damaged seriously! ..."
I dont know what to do anymore, I just bought this phone 5 days ago, sad life.

Have you unlocked bootloader? If no try install B360 via dload method. B360 download over Firmware Finder

I just checked the fastboot mode it says:
Phone Locked
FRP Lock
1. what to do to unlock bootloader?
2. Whats happening now is, the "Honor" logo boots twice then goes to Huawei eRecovery. Under eRecovery it has option "Download latest version and recovery" > "Download and recovery" > "Starting WIFI failed". Actually I can connect to wifi earlier and this what happens to the eRecovery "Getting package info failed". But now it CANT connect to the wifi.
3. I tried the firmware rollback but it didnt help

2. Try remove password from your wifi connection and again try download recovery
Or, download full firmware B360 (2 zips) unzip both and separately put to dload foldet on sdcard

This is what I'm doing now downloading FRD-L19C636B360 Full OTA which is 1.4GB from boycracked.com then will use the 3 button combo to install it using dload folder in the sd card. Still waiting to download the file. Will update you once tried
What do you mean by the "(2 zips)" ? What I only know it has UPDATE.APP.

Btw after install the 2 files should i wipe data and cache before using it?

No need to be wiped anything. You remember if firmware which you try install was labeled with PV on end name of fw?

There were 2 b380 available, 1st is 300mb 2nd file is full ota. I only downloaded d full ota. No PV at d end as far as i remember. Used wifi proxy > system update ota > start download pause > return wifi config > resume ota update.
Rommco05 said:
Ithink this was issue, if you want install some firmware or update (Nougat) must be always labeled with PV, with this is able to install over dload or twrp
Click to expand...

I think PV filenames is for twrp. I just read that updating to b380 you need to rollback to b120 which is marshmallow then jump to b380. As long as i can return it to my stock b360 Im fine with it. I will just wait for Oreo or OTA update without using FF since this issue is driving me nuts. It's just 5 day old phone n this already happened. My download is still at 50% very frustrating download speed
Rommco05 said:
As far I know every update must by labeled with PV if will can be installed manualy, this is "offline firmwares" wich don't need be checked online by Huawei

I have downloaded the 2 files. When I extract the 1st file it has 3 files ( meta-INF, update.app, full_mainpkg.tag). Should I put these 3 files to the dload folder or just the update.app?

All files from each zip together, but zips must separately. I'm going for today off, if will something wrong I have look tomorrow

The 1st file worked my phone now booted, but the problem is I cant pass thru setup/google account because it doesnt have keyboard just voice command. Why no keyboard, it's my 1st time to see this happened as well, was there a problem with my download?
Im now in the process of installing the 2nd file you gave thru 3 combo, lets see if it gives me a keyboard.
Hi!
My problem is that I can't download the latest firmware like the FRD-L09C432B394. The latest for my phone is the FRD-L09C432B389.
I tried rollback the phone to Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1, installing C432B131 official firmware
The phone takes me to update to Android 7.0, and then to FRD-L09C432B389. After that, no other updates.
I wiped all the things I could before doing that, and uninstalled roots. I don't know what the problem might be.
Hope you guys could help me, maybe there's an obvious spot that I'm missing.
UPDATE: After 9 days I still didn't get the update. I'm sure now there's a problem, and I can't find it.
UPDATED 2: I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

It may be because you flashed it manually. And unless we have rollback package for your model you may not be able to rollback to MM. Are you planning to install custom ROM or want to be on stock rom only.
Updater is not there means tou wont get OTA bit test build wont impact anything.
You may need to flash the oeminfo of your model as well.

Hi.
Bought gr 5 '17 yesterday. Running MM.
I want to update to Nougat, cant find my build number in firmware finder list.
Fb group admin (also member here...) suggested to download a B 370 package.
I want to ask will it work for B160?
Also, any link to step by step instructions for update? Sorry, non tech person here...
Note: if i click to dl a package from Firmware finder, it shows dl as a zip file. Once download is complete, then what?
Thanks in Advance.

I would advise to wait for official OTA (as you got the phone yesterday) but if you really want to do it-
Download this- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1279/g104/v82620/f2/full/update.zip
and this http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...cseas/update_data_full_BLL-L22_hw_spcseas.zip
Flash first file and boot to system. Then 2nd and boot.
You need to use dload method as below
Unzip 1st file and extract the package. You will get few files including update.app.
Few suggest to use only update.app file but I would advise, based on my personal experience for all dload method I tried, use all the files.
Create a folder dload under SD card and copy all the files to this folder.
Power off the phone. Remove USB cable, if connected.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button (3 keys together)
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.
During restart, phone will verify the system image.
This verification and 1st boot may take upto 2-3 minutes so do not panic.
Repeat the same with 2nd zip file.
Good luck. Happy Flashing.

Few suggest to use only update.app file but I would advise, based on my personal experience for all dload method I tried, use all the files.
Create a folder dload under SD card and copy all the files to this folder.
Power off the phone. Remove USB cable, if connected.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button (3 keys together)
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.
During restart, phone will verify the system image.
This verification and 1st boot may take upto 2-3 minutes so do not panic.
Repeat the same with 2nd zip file.
Good luck. Happy Flashing.

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions and links.
I think I will take your advice and wait for OTA update.
As mentioned, I am not too 'tech' and am worried might do the wrong thing.
Is it normal for my build # not to have nougat update yet?....
I will bookmark this post and report back in a week. Hopefully I will have an update by then.
Thank you again shashank1320

You welcome. Welcome to XDA and tech stuff.
Yes it is normal. Update may pop up anytime. Have you inserted the SIM yet? If not, putting the SIM may help. Also it may take upto a week for your phone to register and get update.

Shashank

Thank you for your Welcome Shashank I hope to learn alot from the XDA Forum and you, since this is my 1st Android phone o).
I had not inserted the SIM before, since I'm still learning how the phone works and was playing around with the GR 5 17 without the SIM.
I have inserted the SIM and just like you said; I got an update from the Settings menu.
I am downloading update : BLL-L22C636B360 as we speak.
I am worried since I read on this thread that it might have some problems....
I will post an update once completed.
I am excited to learn more about Android from the XDA Forum, and how I can keep my GR 5 17 in the best condition.
Thank you again for your support Shashank. Stay Well

I have downloaded the B360 update. As you mentioned, I have received another update and am now on : Build number ~: BLL-L22C636B384 , EMUI : 5.0.1, Android : 7.0
Things seem to be working fine for now.
I wanted to ask you about any good Dark theme for the GR5-17.
Do you suggest from the Huawei themes (built in) or from :EMUI theme factory? (an app I dl from PlayStore.
Thank you, Stay Well

As far as i know rooted phones will not get OTA. You have to manually flash update.zip and root again, because rooting needs bootloader unlock and will not recognise the device in update server. I guess you have to wait for manual update zip...?

I shared B151 update to Firmware Finder using "share firmware" option.
Now you can directly install and update from there.

Thank you. Will check in FF app. Btw, how come the update is about 1gb in size with such a small change log? If you have already updated, do you have any ideas if they have some under the hood changes which they have not mentioned? Just curious.

Never rooted.. Never unlocked.. Stock recovery
Poor support

You will get OTA on rooted phone but it wont install. Even just replacing the recovery wont help as your stock boot is modified while root. you need to flash the stock boot as well before you will be able to update via OTA.
Stock phone
Never rooted
Never changed recovery
Never unlocked bootloader
Ota is broke or non-existent
Support sucks.
Great phone if you never want updates
Bug fixes or new features.
These are as is throw away phones.
