Hi everyone, I just received a Huawei Mate 9 lite as a gift which I'm aware it's a rebranded Honor 6x for (as far as I'm aware) Latin America. I understand that many 6x rooms work for it but have no idea how to get started since model numbers are different.
I have the 32gb/3gb ram model single sim and the model number is BL L23, I'm on marshmallow with EMUI 4.1.3 and I want to update to the official nougat release, I've seen official nougat rooms for this model but they have a different build number, does that matter?
It's a carrier-locked phone, but if it's possible to install a stock, non-carrier room on it like in other phones I have no issue with that...
TLDR version: I have a mate 9 lite and would like to upgrade to nougat, model BL L23 and build number C43B121, and no, carrier does not have update on OTA.

I found the huawei firmware finder on google play (translating the russian forum that appears on your sig) and there are quite alot of firmwares for my model, but does the build number matter? or does it only indicate the build number of the software andit shouldn't affect installtion? my build number is BLL-L23C43B121, I'm sure this is just a carrier specific version, but I want to make sure because this is the first time I own a non-flagship phone without a lot of support (like the Galaxy S2/S4, HTC One M7 and LG G3 which I've owned before).
Found a post on xda where it showed all the country codes...
The post shows that C605 is Colombia, and my phone was bought in Uruguay, I checked and Colombia uses same LTE bands, can I use a rom labeled LL-L23C605B364? or Do I have to unlock bootloader or something?

Nope you can not. Unless you flash the oeminfo file of L23C605 then only you can do this. We dont have the oeminfo file of that model yet. However if you just want to update the version, we can do via dload.
Great, how do I do that?
Update to nougat without having to change oeminfo?

Using dload. Let me check and give the links.
Yours is BLL-L23C43B121 OR BLL-L23C432B121?
There is a difference of 43 and 432.
Thanks for the quick reply, I have the update.zip from the c605 update, the big one (around 1.6gb), is that good? I didn't download the one that actually has the build number, the one specific for the c605..

Oh alright, so it's hopeless now? Should I wait until there's a method to update this model? I read that certain stock and custom roms fromtje honor 6x work with the mate 9 lite since it's basically the same phone...but if that's true, I don't know whichmodel of the 6x would be equivalent to mine,or if it is safe to do that...

Bumping the thread. Have you found any solution for this? I keep searching everywhere but nothing, I can unlock it and seen that I can probably root it too, but I can't rebrand it because as you mentioned there are no oeminfo files for the BLL L23. I've seen in another forum people withthe standard unlocked Mate 9 lite just updated through OTA and everything went fine but I cannot do that due to mine being a carrier-locked version.
I have the C605 update in my phone, I haven't flashed it because I was told not to since it might brick my device. Now, when I do the firmware check on Firmware finder it says "approved", should I trust that even though my firmware says C43B (not C432) and B121 (software version...?).

This is the Roadmap as it was announced in the Huawei's Chinese Forum. It's translated via Google Translate. I believe we will have the Lollipop taste soon. I hope in the end of March - early April. My estimation is that the Stable ROM of Lollipop will arrive after 2-4 weeks.

As already written in another thread, my estimation is that the honor 6 will never receive Lollipop. It's february 2015 and they are "still evaluating".
In the next months honor 6 will be put in low priority because they will sure have some newer device to promote and the upgrade to 5.0 is very expensive to do.... That's what I think...

I don't think they will drop the support of Honor 6. I have seen everywhere that Huawei confirmed the lolipop update for the device. The only thing not been confirmed is the date. I have see Q1 (we nearly passed it) but I have also see June. I would be a bit disappointed if Huawei would stop supporting the phone after 6 months of the release date.
I am still positive..

I've never heard an official huawei response on this subject but only speculations on forum...
And even if huwaei had officially confirmed, sometimes vendors change their ideas.
For example I'm still wating ICS for my zte u960 that was officially confirmed by zte, but I don't it would arrive anytime soon
some thoughts about lollipop
imho, situation with honor 6 and lollipop is very unpredictable... Yes, Honor 6 was officially said to be a flagship. BUT, we can also see L21 model, with buffed cpu and cams, and we can see Honor 6 Plus, with new CPU, cams, bigger screen and battery. Kinda The Flagship of the flagships. So IMHO its hard to say if youngest honor 6 will receive lollipop at all.
One more thing, google released lollipop 5.1 for One line devices. lots of bug fixes etc... so which version should Honor release? bugged 5.0.x or more stable 5.1.x? if they started on creating 5.0.x branch for honor, they will need more time to switch to 5.1.x branch, and it will take us 2-3 month more of waiting... so lollipop could be published not earlier than end of spring.
and we should not forget about Honor being a standalone sub-brand now, with its own dev crue, so no one knows what's inside of their minds. but as I can see, 4.4.4 is not even yet implemented on any honor/huawei device...
So stay tuned. And don't believe in miracles that Chinese companies are thinking 'bout their customers. IMHO

Don't trust this kind of response especially from Huawei that is known as a company that don't have a clean upgrade path for its devices and it has already dropped support for a lot of devices.
I don't think that honor europe or honor india has a technical develpment team. All honor development is made in china and every other country just receive the chinese work.
So I bought a (supposedly) sealed Mate 9 on ebay as a Christmas present to myself, and it's great! but i'm not getting any updates.. its an MHA-L29, Build no MHA-L29C432B182-log.
I'd previously been onto Huawei on facebook with an update query on my Mate 8, so I queried them about this phone with the same question. This was what I got back:
Hi Fred,
Thank you for getting back to us.
We have tried checking the IMEI numbers of your Mate 9 device in our system and although on the consumer website we were prompted with the information that the device is intended for China, while running them through our other software tools we were unable to gain access to any type of information.
For this reason we won't be able to provide any details related to the current Build Number available for the device, or any other details related to the updates intended for it.
Should any other questions arise, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards, Huawei
So it seems it's a China model and not a European one. Do I somehow flash it with a Chinese rom? If so - which one?!
Any help much appreciated!
Fred
I wont be much help on this subject, but you would certainly rebrand to a different region. There are a few threads around for that, Then use the region you want.

So, it is definitely Chinese model.
1. Huawei didn't tell you much info, just point to China.
2. Model that is selling in Europe can't have log suffix in build number. This is ROM for test purpose with logging and sending info to Huawei. Chinese sellers flashed it by inadvertence.
Don't look on it was sealed. It is too easy to seal box again.
Well, you can stay at C432 region, but I recommend flash release version like B198 using Firmware Finder.
Otherwise you can return to Chinese region ( C00 )
In this case you must get unlock code and unlock bootloader. Turn "oem unlock" in developer settings and remember that option is on world ROMs only.
Then you will able to rebrand.
Thanks for the input so far guys,
Would there be any benefit in putting a Chinese rom on? Am I right in thinking that China versions are getting Oreo at the moment? I'd rather not go through using the tool and rebranding (did it before with my Mate 8) so I think i'll try to work out the firmware finder app!
Thanks

Good morning all,
I used the Firmware Finder to update to MHA-L29C432B198 and all good! Now I guess I just wait for the Oreo update to hit this region version. It needed a reset of course, so I had a fun evening of rebuilding and signing into all my apps while at the same time completely rebuilding my media centre pc which had refused to boot.. yay. Good times.

Well, even if you updated, you're still "out of region". So chances are you won't get any update to Oreo.
Oreo builds for C432 are named MHA-L29 8.0.0.xxx (C432) in Firmware Finder, same with MHA-L09.
So you could try updating to Oreo through FF.
Thanks, I'll keep checking the finder app. I'd rather stay on the c432 chain as I'm in England if that makes a difference. Is Oreo still in beta for 432? So far they all say not approved for installation.

I tested it on my prototype phone, it works.
I've posted activities on my Twitter Hikari_Calyx.
But if you want to install it on retail phone, you need to obtain service permission from FIH Server (Which you can find someone that could flash Nokia 7 from Taobao) or unlock bootloader (which still don't know how to unlock).

Hello. I want to install the Global firmware onto a 6GB RAM Chinese edition Nokia 7 plus phone.
1) Which firmware file do I need to download from the Google Drive folder?
2) Will the phone behave exactly like a global-edition Nokia 7 plus? I mean, with all the OTA updates, multi-language system and hopefully no spyware/backdoors that the Chinese internet censorship may (or may not) put on it?
Thanks

I thought the international version already got 8.1.
It looks like I was wrong?
I got my 7+ 2 days ago and I was very worried I did not get the update as per some of the Indian reviews!
So yours is still on 8.0 Feb security update?
Thank you.

Hello so back in December i decided to take the risk go to Huawei with the P40 pro as my new phone and i loved it ever since up until i notice that when i installed GMS i didn't had updates. So then i watched videos after videos trying different things in order to fix it but kept failing. And now since the recent situation about firmware finder i think I'm stuck. If possible can someone help me?

it currently has EMUI 10.1.0.134(C792E7R3P1) and i saw a video on youtube to install them but first i had to downgrade it in order to make it work.
Hey, I am in the exact same boat, even the build is the same (C792E3R3P3) well reallllly close. Anyway, I am unable to downgrade out of EMUI 11, I cant use HiSuite to do the revisions cause they pulled the firmware, and the play store stopped working so my apps don't work... so pretty much screwed. I'm considering rooting the phone now.

I did exactly as you described - and it DID work.
First under EMUI 11 you use HiSuite to return to EMUI 10. When you have established the link between your PC and your phone you use the third option in HISuite - Update system - and when HISuite informs you that you are using the latest version already you will find below the option to use another version. In my case HISuite offered the latest version of EMUI 10 - 10.1.0.176 - and presto: you are in EMUI 10 after all. Now you downgrade to your verson 10.1.0.134 - or lower - and then you can user the googlefier.apk.
It worked in my case and now I'm using 11.0.0.176 as before trying to install GMS
Hope this helps...

I did exactly that, or tried I should say. I get to that point where it says "I am using the latest version" and does not offer another version. And now, my phone wont take incoming calls, never again... gonna jump off the Huawei train.

I had another idea but not sure if or how it would work. I found a complete backup of my phone when i first bought it. I did try all sorts of ways to install it but doesn't work...any ideas?
Hey Smokey, want to thank you for forwarding me to IProffesors firmware finder. I tried it 3 times and actually had it upgrade but failed on installation. I gave up but ended up messaging him to see if he could help. He told me to try a few things I haven't heard and the next attempt it worked man! He's a genius and now my new god, so thank you for pointing me to his work, saved my phone from the garbage.

Hi @IProfessor thanks, actually I tried but when the process starts on the phone it cancels on its own. Tried with different firmwares and still.

Hi All
I have just purchased a Find X2 Pro unlocked from a store as a used return, it has come unlocked from no carrier but says CPW (which i assume stands for carphone warehouse?
This isn't the main issue for me but what is is the fact the phone refuses to update at all
I have tried various VPN's on different regions and still no luck, OPPO's UK website doesn't even think the find x2 pro exists on their support page so i can't manually download firmware to flash it, the recovery updater also has no luck. I've also tried doing the region swap tool i saw on another thread but had no luck setting it up as my ethernet adapter doesn't have a "network address tab"
At the end of the day, i cannot find a single way to update this phone, has anyone else faced this issue or know another potential way to fix it? If not then the phone is being returned ASAP since this isn't acceptable from OPPO
Thanks for any potential help
EDIT: I have managed to get into the engineer mode to change the software region, even after changing it to EUEX i cannot get any updates with various VPN's

The build they sent me was a March 2020 Android 11 build which has now allowed me to update and now running C75 however i did change the branch to EUEX as stated in my post so no longer running the CPW build. Didn't even require a VPN (in UK)
File on MEGA
mega.nz
Thanks, unfortunately I'm stuck on C.70 from August. So I don't think I could install your file on my phone.
How did you contact Oppo to obtain this file ? I contacted the support on global site to request an update, but they said to wait for OTA to come.

I contacted the UK site (since im in UK) via live chat, they asked for the software build and IMEI and told me they would send me a link via email within a few days (came next day)
Thanks for this. I contacted Oppo about my X2 Pro, the link they sent me kept saying installation failed. Your download worked straight away and am now on the January security patch. I have not changed region or anything else. Thanks again for posting download.
Hi @TheDXDan, I have exactly the same problem, bought a Find X2 Pro with the same CPW_11_A_26 version you were showing in the photo above.
Would you please be able to share again the firmware you used? I tried the link you provided above on 'mega.nz' but the file is no longer available there.
I also spoke to Oppo support, they pointed me to a download called "CPH2023EU_11_OTA_17501380_all_MWTyBnliH0nz.ozip" but that did not work, a couple of seconds after I start the update it says 'Installation Failed'
I wonder if changing the software region to EUEX, as you did, is essential for this firmware update to work? @Jonah72 , did you have to change to EUEX?
Many thanks for any help with this.

The link OPPO supplied me didn't work and kept saying "installation failed". I didn't change to EUEX, just installed the update from the link above

Thank you so much for the link @Jonah72!
Downloading this firmware now ... I will try it out and report back.

This link worked for me, thank you @Jonah72!!! And I did not have to change software region for it to update.
With this firmware file it updated from the old Android10/Coloros7.1/rev 26 that the phone came with, to Android 11 rev. 65 [at least I think it was 65]. After that the phone was able to do further OTA updates, it found/installed several updates quite quickly, I think about three of those got it all the way to Android 12 with a security patch from May 2022, which it now says [quite plausibly] is latest. Previously the silly thing was saying that the Android 10/Coloros 7.1 it had from 2020 was 'latest'.
So I am very happy with this. I have to say, I don't notice a massive difference in use between the old Android10/7.1 and this latest Android12, but there are some slight improvements (for example, with the old firmware screen rotation was unreliable on this phone, it seems better/fixed now). The camera app has some improved configurability. There probably are some more subtle new features in Android 12 vs Android 10, that I just didn't notice with my rather basic use of the phone.
Anyways - thanks again. Without your help I was probably going to remain stuck on the old firmware for eternity, since Oppo UK support have been totally useless in solving this, despite my wasting a lot of time chasing them.

How you got updated to 12 , and after how much time after downloading thia firmware you got the update?
For mine after suffering 2 week i found your comment and i update using this firmware but i found some problem with camera software and i need to update to color os 12.
And which is your country so i can use vpn to receive ota update
Hi @Coagulation
After flashing the update to Android10/Coloros7.1/rev 26 I got the OTA updates to Android 12 within the next hour.
I am in the UK.
I guess what OTA updates are available at any time depends on OPPO and maybe also on your mobile phone operator.
