I am getting an OTA update (B516) which fixes some very annoying bugs, so I'd like to install it. But my bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted, so I shouldn't just let it update, right?
What do I have to do to safely update?
Thanks in advance,
Julian
Edit: I currently have installed B507 on my H60-L04
Edit 2: Worked by just restoring the stock recovery.

Huawei MT7-TL10 - what is the latest official update/how to update if already rooted

Hi All,
I am having trouble looking for a thread that would help me update my rooted MT7-TL10, my current version is TL10V100R001C00B120SP04. Is it easier if I just unroot it first then install
via OTA? The new pending version under EMUI updater is TL10V100R001C00B130. I dont think it has a noticeable change with my current version but I really would want a Lollipop OS
for my MT7 (better if its an official update) Hope you could help me and give me the step by step procedure for this since my phone is getting really boring without the lollipop or marshmallow update.
Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Here is the correct link to root and Custom Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-ascent-mate-7-unlock-recovery-t2941525
You can also root each version KK,LP or MM.
In my case never has a Ota update works, but you can do all by Local Update.
But you must go back to Stock Recovery
Thread is not working anymore.. What version do you have now? How did you upgrade?

I have version 4.4.2. The kitkat version. Never updated it ever since i got the phone. Received a notice on a new OTA update.. But it is more on for stability. Not the lollipop update i guess.
what do you want exactly?
Just want to know if there is an official lollipop update for my phone. And on how to install it while im rooted.

I had the same version on my TL10 (120SP04) and I went directly to B331 from dload folder. No problem in it. Just one difference - my device was unrooted. I made root after that and then flashed KangVIP 3A which is really fine ROM. I think I can recommend you the same however I don't know if there is any problem in your root (but I don't think so).

Did you reach the lollipop version via OTA? So i know if its easier just to unroot and update.

Hi again, Im receiving error tying to install this in TWRP. Hope you could help. Thanks
Mine was B120 SP04 also. I did the B130 update and kept it that way quite a while, unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted. Also had an older version of Xposed working with some modules. I tried a mod that stuffed it up recently, although it still booted, so decided to go Lollipop seeing as I had to work on it anyway. First thing is to use ADB and flash back to stock recovery, then I unrooted.
Next I applied B324 via local update. It ran fine so I applied B331 via local update.
Running good. Now have TWRP recovery and root. It's a shame Xposed doesn't work on it
I‘ve also not been able to apply lollipop incremental updates. Only a full ROM. Decided not to risk MM yet.
I‘ve noticed that on LP and debloat system apps, I have more free RAM than with KK. It also runs smoother. I installed EX Kernel Manager anyway and with a few basic tweaks the phone flies!
Seriously considering rolling back to Kitkat.
B331 Lollipop runs fine as a daily driver, it's just that even with it rooted, it's so hard to install any mods to customise it how I want.
On reflection, Lollipop doesn't seem to offer me any real benefits over Kitkat

Phone won't update to B571

I can't update my MT7-l09 to B571, Im currently on C900B560. Any help would be greatly appreciated in helping me to update to the latest firmware unless I am better staying on B560? I Have tried updating before without a factory reset and with a factory reset and both failed at 5%. Should I use the full firmware or just the OTA Update? A step by step tutorial would be great

Easiest way to get updates is to change region to eu and keep the phone unrooted. Guaranteed OTA updates when they come out.

By unrooted, do you mean removing SuperSU, as well as re-locking the bootloader? I have unrooted my phone, but kept bootloader unlocked, and changed my
region to EU on Tl10 B560, but I'm not getting any updates.

i was on B560 rooted and TWRP installed and didn't got any OTA. I used SuperSU's option to unroot and installed stock recovery. Quick reboot later, the OTA update appeared. Had my bootloader unlocked since day one.
In my particular case, I had 560 with root. Both updating through the OTA and full package 571 it returned an error. So removed root, hard reset, reinstalled 560 full package and the the OTA update was successful.

Recevied an update with rooted phone, is it safe to update ?

I'm currently on NXT-29C185B190 and I received update with NXT-29C185B1200, my phone is unlocked and rooted, I have flash fire installed and it recognized that update was downloaded.
My question is flash fire have big red huawei device warning, saying Huawei device is very easy to hard brick (also my mate 8 is my first locked bootloader phone) so is it safe to use flash fire ? or install update throught huawei system without losing root ?

Is this an EMUI update through the standard update menu in settings - updater?
The version seems a bit odd to me, the last update for C185 was B320, I wouldn't expect an official update to jump as high as that. Mind uploading a screenshot?
Anyway, as for actually updating, as long as you are running stock recovery (not TWRP) then it shouldn't be an issue. Just know that you WILL lose root after updating. And I'd strongly suggest making a data backup before the update.

Thanks for the help, I tried to user flash fire to keep my root but it failed to update, now I really think rooting huawei phone is more trouble than it worth as for what you said is version is typo
I'm currently on B190 and I got update to B200.
and yes the update is standard update from system updater
I have twrp installed so that means I can't update at all ?
Plz i want to know how to return to the normal situation after root and unlock bootloader in order to receibe update without problem

Well if you unlocked bootlader and rooted, it safe to say that you have TWRP installed, fire up SRKToolHuawei choose (2)install recovery then install stock recovery after that it reboots and then update using system updater from huawei.
PS: You will lose your root access and new to install TWRP then root again.

You will only lose root and xpose. Theres a thread in here about the twrp for emui 5. Start from that if you want root again xpose included.

In my experience the only solution to this is to backup data, then if possible, use firmware updater (can downloadn in playstore) then download the b360 update with the Full ota-mf-pv tag. Flash it using dload method. About thw dload method search the honor 6x threads cause i dont use it. I did not encounter this problem when updating

Couldn't update my FRD-L09C636B386

Hi guys, can someone help me out? I've relocked Phone and FRP unlocked. After factory reset, I still couldn't get OTA update on my phone. The security patch is 1st December 2016. I actually downgraded from custom rom to stock OS via Dload method. Now I couldn't get official OTA update.
I suggest to you to make a rollback for locked (not just relocked) device following my GUIDE and then make all the otas updates. If you can't recevie B399 you can follow my guide HERE.

So I tried your guide. With both FRP and Bootloader Unlocked from B386. First I flashed rollback package (Honor 8_Rollback Package_FRD-L09_from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1_C900B300_UK) then follow with firmware (Honor 8_Rollback Package_FRD-L09_from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1_C900B300_UK). Still didn't lock my back my phone to factory and still couldn't get OTA update. Anything I did wrong or missed out? I'm currently on B300.
Update 1: Next I'll try your second guide to force update on my device
Update 2: Successfully locked back my phone, currently on 1st December 2017 Security update, EMUI 5.0.1. However, I failed to install update2.zip update file though. Will that be a problem? I even wiped cache and low level factory reset my phone(from setting which I only managed to do so after I force reset from recovery beforehand).
