Hi there
I am still on build NXT - L29C636B193 with June secuirity patch.
I have the dual SIM L29 4gb gold variant. I am in the UK.
Still waiting for Nougat. From reading around it seems that almost everyone has already recieved the official OTA...
I have also seen people manually flashing the OTA but I am worried I may lose my warranty and make certain apps like Android Pay unavailable.
All advice is appreciated
Thanks:laugh:
If you want to have warranty, stay at stock.
There is a major difference between nougat and mm (in look and performance for me). I dont need my warranty because - 1) ive bought it in china , 2) what does warranty cover? if i crash screen - warranty is worthless, if i crash software - i can fix it by myself - so its useless...
I ve swaped soft for european L29C432B320 from DL-00 and i dont care about OTA or some****.
Just flashed, rooted and using as always. For me root is necessary, so warratny is useless anyway.
The only thing is that if something bricks your phone like e.g. melting in pocket (vide SGS Note7 ) there is nothing you can do...
So - for me - just manually flashed nougat and root it and its ok.

So can I do this without losing warranty or rooting?
Because I want things like Android Pay to still be intact.
Thanks

Are you in Europe as well?
Because I want to know if my imported Huawei Mate 8 will receive an official OTA from Huawei...
Thanks
I receive the Ota only to the converted C432.
On original C636 no Ota Updates
Can I load the latest update onto the device so that the system update menu will recognise the update?
Maybe use dload or somrthing?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi there
When I contacted the European chat helper in the Hi care app, they said that my model the NXT - L29 will not get OTA updates while i am not in Southeast Asia?
I don't know if this true as it sounds bizarre, most devices are still updated when not in their home land.
What model number is yours?
Thanks
checksum error
Hi there,
the update appears and it starts to download, but most of the time, I get a checksum error. Only 2 times (out of perhaps 8 downloads) it downloaded properly, so far. The device restarted and got stuck at the "Your device got unlocked and can't be trusted." and "The device is now booting" prompt. I let it rest for more than 3 hours, but nothing happened.
So: none of the categories in the poll apply to me: I seem to get the update, but cannot install it.

Are you also on the L29?
Which country are you in?
Did you root or unlock the bootloader?

I finally figured what was wrong: I had a bad (as in not accepted by the system) update in the dload folder of the sdcard. Thus even after flashing TWRP via adb or the stock firmware upgrade, that was tried and denied, first.
Once I removed that folder, I could successfully install TWRP and the latest CM/Lineage build (alpha-4).
To actually answer your questions: Yes, CH, and yes, bootloader unlocked.

I had manually uppdated to B521 and tried to update to B563 trough the Firmware Finder without success.
Then I downgraded to B193, tried update to B563 and failed.
Updated to B211 then and did factory reset. After restart I got new firmware showing in system update in settings.
So I´m guessing it´s official OTA update as I didn´t update through Firmware Finder.

I was on L29C185B180, and the 321 update (4.1) just hit my phone on Thursday.
I recieved my OTA update today on from NXT L29636211 to b563 im in the UK with China dual sim international Mate 8 purchased from wonda mobile. Went very smoothly. Now enjoying official Nougat.
I've was advised I could brick it by trying to update.
So am seeking sound guidance to update.
A guy on eBay originally rooted phone for me, changing the Chinese phone to english european. he's not there now.
But phone came back installed with AFTER ROOT ANDROID & ROOT CHECKER BASIC & SUPERUSER
Here is some data about the os etc; first this was Chinese mha aloo then rooted and changed to mha-l29c636b110.
Running emui 5 & android 7

Any help will be soo appreciated.

Hello guys, can somebody help me?
I own a Honor 6x (BLN-TL10)
When I bought at 2017, I flashed my firmware to a different one cause I didn't wanted to use the chinese version, so I upgraded or downgraded to that firmware (BLN-C900B131) since that change, my device always recognize as hi6250, and when I try to install the original firmware on my device, It fails, on the update proccess appear that message, "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version." cause I want to upgrade to 8.0 oreo, my phone right now is at android 6.0 emui 4.1.
Can you send the link of update file that you have used? And a screenshot of build number?
I'll attach 3 screenshoots, one of my EMUI and Android at the moment and the firmware's that I tried to install
The BLN-TL10 firmware that was the same that came with my phone when I bought
I've tried to unlock the bootloader, but Huawei phones bought on china doesn't have OEM unlock option enabled ;(
Idk if have some way to unlock bootloader without that option
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:

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

Dozens of Huawei and Honor devices with Kirin processors can now be bootloader unlocked
Using this open-source tool, you can now unlock the bootloader of several HiSilicon Kirin-powered Huawei and Honor devices. Check it out!
www.xda-developers.com
Is it possible to go into recovery and directly update phone with hisuite from android 8.x to 11 ? Don't mind if everything gets deleted and root is lost. Possible or not ?
you can't update if no update exist. the linked method describes re-branding to other region. ask in that thread for questions, I don't own Huawei mobiles.
Small note before u unlock Bootloader and rebrand: get HiSuite 13 from the .cn website and do a full backup with it. Otherwise u will have hard times to restore ur device.
