Link already provided to download HiSuite. (http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html)
HiSuite is a program developed by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. The most used version is 32.610.28.00.06, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins.

Thanks for the response. I 've installed it on my computer and when I tried updating, it says am on the latest software by still on EMUI 4.0 and I don't understand how that can be the latest version.

NXT-L29C185B520
This is an early build of EMUI 5.0 for Huawei Mate. That’s why it appears to be having issues with Bluetooth, Keyboard input, Permissions, Notifications, Dual SIM Option and SIM compatibility, among other bugs.
You'd to wait for Official Stable Version.

Thanks very much. I guess I will wait for the official build then I will update. If you do get a stable build by the way, kindly hint me on it. Thanks very much for ur help

Hi, 10 days ago my sister got her Honor 8 (FRD-AL00) china version, she didn't when she ordered it, Stuck after trying to apply a OTA update...
She going to a Huawei center at Paris and they can't help because is a china version ! So I found a lot of people who got the same problem (with china version or not) and it very not serious from Honor to got this king of critical problem.
So I try the RollBack method to Marshmallow and after 30 attempts it still was not sucessfull, I can't rollBack. So I tried to flash with a chinese ROM and after hours searching I found a Chinese STOCK "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV". I installed it with the SD card and dload directory and YES, the phone is work again yeah !
BUT now when I go to phone informations I got this :
Model number : FRD-L19
Build number : NRD90M test-keys
EMUI Version : 5.0
Android Version : 7.0
How it was possible to my phone become a L19 version (EU) after flashing with a China ROM ? And le build number seem to be a test version while a seem used "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV" ??
- My sister live in France so do exist any way to install an EU Rom to get futur OTA update ?
- How can I found a really lastest Chinese Stock rom ?
- Can I and how to make a reset factory / recovery to get back the original ROM version if it still possible ?
Thx

the Link for downgrade don't work, is it the article who tell to download "Honor 8 Rollback Package For NEM-L22" to make the roll Back ?
If is this, I already try maybe 30 time to rollBack.... when the installation is ending, I reboot to a black screen asking downloading the last firmware.... If the rollBack Work I must be return to a normal OS screen ?
You got a chinese Phone too (FRD-AL00) ?

How to FRP Unlock my Honor 8?

hi
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09C432B394, rooted latest magisk and twrp.
There is an OTA update, available, on the phone only, not available with HiSuite..
I would like to update, I uninstalled Magisk, But no way to replace twrp with stock recovery with latest Huawey MultiTool V8.
Don't know why but my FRP is locked.
I found some ways to solve it, AAbox2_17.11, or DC Unlocker 2, but I dont understand how it works, and I don't want to brick my phone...
I also found a tutorial to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow, this could solved my problem...
Do you have any info? Please.

thanks for your answer, I will try it with huawey tools

Ok, I finally managed to update my firmware to b399...
thanks @Rommco05
But, now, I have a problem with the bluetooth...
I posted another subjet about that :

Install Huawei HiSuite on your pc and connect phone with your usb cable.. hit update and it should update your phone.. I think it may do it incrementally.. so 9.0 then 9.1 and finally 10.0.. You will see...

Look at this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/emui-10-hisuite-proxy-t4109035
If you need any informations I can help.

Yeah.. was able to figure it out.. and am currently in 9.1 using the HiSuite via PC. Is Android 10 update worth it? If so, i will do it manually via firmware finder method.

Yes, it's a pure refresh from 9.1 (a crappy port of Android 9.1)
The firmware finder way is not working anymore. You can use the app to get the links. Nothing more.
You need Hisuite Proxy and Hisuite.
See my posts and everything.

After sometime, again i got few more updates,, and i am currently downloading Android 10 again.. So atleast it wil be with latest security patches.. lets see how it goes..
Btw, i saw a GSI image of Android 10 for P20 Pro. any one uses it here?

You can't use it unless you unlock your bootloader, which Huawei stopped doing. They then proceeded to remove the method used to unlock the device in Android 10.

Yeah.. i just found out.. its so sad.. its such a beautiful device,, unlocking would have let me use it for a long time now..

Stuck on EMUI 9.1.0, how to update it?

Hi,
I'm having a Huawei P30:
ELE-L29
build number: ELE-L09 9.10.260(C431E4)
EMUI : 9.1.0
The phone pretends that the phone is up to date.
Could you please tell me how to update it?
Thanks for your help!

I had a similar problem with a new phone bought for my mother and resolved it by installing HiSuite on my PC. Then using HiSuite the phone detected a new version and installed it.
After that first update, disconnected the phone from the PC and the phone was able to detect more updates by itself.
I hope that helps!

Hi andr01d3,
I used HiSuite too, to backup and restore my backup of the phone. I didn't notice any notification about a new version tho.
If the phone of your mother was initally stuck to ELE-L09 9.10.260(C431E4), could you please tell me what is the last version she got with the updates?

check out this guide. it will work on the p30 version too:
[Guide] Flash APPROVED Firmwares on LOCKED BOOTLOADER with NO WIPE!
Thought i should let you know that WE HAVE a WORKING METHOD for flashing APPROVED firmwares listed on Firmware Finder! :cool: PLEASE, READ the OP + HOW TO 3 times before proceeding, so that way we avoid unpleasant flash situations, like those...

After applying only one update with HiSuite by clicking the System Update button, I don't remember the version but it was another 9.x release, I was able to update the phone without issues using the phone over Wifi up to latest 10.1.0.191(C431E27R2P5).

Why didn't my Honor 8A update emui 10? Always stuck in emui 9.1.0
Help me please
