How can I opt out of beta and flash regular 7.1.1. I can't simply flash the image because I have a locked bootloader. Thanks.
Edit: I looked on the website for the beta and if I unenroll I will be sent an ota that will wipe data and return to the latest public release.
Question 1: If I am on the beta program will I still receive a public release or will it always be a beta version?
Question 2: What if I unenroll when I get upgraded to a public release, will I still have to wipe data?

No update or fastboot image is going to lock your bootloader, so no matter what you do, you're safe.
Just never use the "Fastboot oem lock" command or you'll be stuck.

1. You will get an uldate that will put you on the regular public 7.1.2 when it comes out It will not wipe your data.
2. Once you get it, you are no longer on beta, you are mainstream. So there is nothing ro unenroll from and you will not be able ro go back.
Can i ask. I'm on the beta on my pixel and it hasn't given me no security updates since 5th of January is everyone who's on the beta stuck on that update?? Just wondering. I have factory wiped straight after i got enrolled into the beta update just to let you know. Thanks.

Hello everyone,
Saw the MHA-L29C636B172 OTA on firmware finder for about 10 days now but it can't download (just stays stuck on 0%). Tried WiFi and mobile.
Was hoping I'll get the OTA on my phone (I check about 4 times a day) but nothing yet.
I'm in Malaysia, is there anything I can do to get it early?
Thank you
So, I saw this update on a website. Has two files;
1. update. zip - 1.727GB
2. update_full_hw_spcseas.zip - 672.92MB
The steps are in the images below.
Do you think is is safe?
I think you should just wait for the OTA and stop obsessing about it. Don't go around flashing stuff from dubious sources.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA Labs
Remove the custom proxy before downloading?

Thanks, the proxy stuff worked!
First off, is firmware finder legit? Cos in the post above, he mentioned dubious sources, but i want to believe it is cos a lot of people here recommended it severally.
Secondly, in firmware finder, it is 657MB but when I sent to Huawei updater it now reads 2.02GB.

To be honest I'm not sure, but my best guess is that those Fw are for internal testing before being released for the public.
The safest way is of course to wait for the official update.
Tried the same thing as you just now. Was around 2GB.
Chances are it will fail at the authentication and not authorised. But hey, maybe it's just me.
I tried download the zip file and follow the instructions. However, for the first step, it always fails after rebooting and starting updating the system. It fails pretty quickly. I don't know why .. I have the update.app under dload on my sdcard.

It fails signature verification. I guess we'll have to wait for it to hit the carriers for us to update.
so I am on t-mobile now. maybe it works on china mobile?

Maybe they have began rolling out updates. It depends on region and also carrier.
I'm in Malaysia on Maxis and I'm yet to get it. Hopefully by the end of the week.

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.

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.

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
Anyone have a zip I can flash with the system updater built into the phone? I've tried the few that have been posted, however it is located in the root folder the local updater can't see it.
The way I get the updates is by Oxygen Updater.
Never had an issue, look for a local update.... install
Do not root ....

MOD EDIT: Language
I pay for my programs so I do not need Adaway.
For programs I can not buy, putting up with a few ads is the price of using the program
Also I am not always toying with things to get things like Bank apps and Google Pay to work, never have to worry about bricking anything.
Hi guys,
I have to remove "most" posts from this thread to clean it up. Please do show some respect when you discuss matters with a fellow members. I know that online forum is more open and free than real world, but if you would not say some harsh words to someone in real life, do not say it here either.
It is totally OK to have your own ways of using your own phones, but it must be done without calling names on a member.
Feel free to hit the Report button when you see a bad move on XDA. Thanks.

It is supposed to preserve your data. But I never assume that it will work the way it is supposed to. That goes for any updates, and especially as one as major as Android 9 > 10.
Backup anything that is important to you on a routine basis (method of your choice - many options), and definitely before an update. Then as I like to say: Expect the best, but prepare for the worst. In other words, you will probably be able to update and keep your data. But you are prepared just in case anything goes wrong.

Thanks guys for the tips, but I know how to backup my data. Problem is that I have around 170gb of data on my phone and do not have a space to store it. I will have some 2tb disk soon but it is hard to wait
Need help if someone with official UI 3.0 update extract the firmware with ofp format so we can flash the rom. I'm tired of waiting, this regional sh** is killing me. Thank you in advance.
Hey, I can do it if possible ! As far as I know without root and unlocked bootloader, it seems rather to be complicated. By the way, I updated my phone, almost 5 days ago. I don't if the zip file is still there ...
Let me know, how can we do it

hi. To backup a firmware or system rom, it is advisable to root the device first because we need to access SU command from pc and need twrp to perform backup as well

Hey, for the RUI 3 update you posted, did you tested it? Somehow it's buggy and I have to go back to global version. After boot, it stuck on the first page of configuration and my screen is not responsive to touch.
