heeelp need the lollipop update

Hi every body, before i begin, sorry if my english is bad and also sorry if i'm a total noob.
Well I tried to update my mate 7 to lollipop but there were no official ROM so I tried the beta. I've read that i must be on b137 then update to b308 and finally update to b317 which is more stable. The problem is I'm rooted so the update don't complete it shows me an error message. I think the only solution is to flash the stock rom but I don't know how. Can somebody help me pleeeease :crying:
thanks

Download and extract the B137 rom from here from http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei_firmware_downloads/ascend-mate-7-downloads/ and put the dload folder to your external sdcard and go to the Updater app and choose local update, then flash the B308 and B317 OTA update and factory reset. Better unroot before flashing to avoid issues. Good luck mate

Did you unroot your phone and do you have a MT7-L09? What message was displayed when you got the `failed`message?

Try a data factory reset to get rid of residu files and what rom are you on right now, do you have the stock recovery?

Hi all. I was just wondering if mate 7 gets a lollipop update and EMUI 3.1 will that be worldwide or just for specific countries? I'm in Nz and Huawei Nz tol dme we won't be getting EMUI 3.1 but will get lollipop. if that's the case I wonder how long it'll take to get Marshmallow at all.
Cheers

Lets hope they skip Lollipop all together and focus on Marshmellow now, otherwise we`ll get it by the end of next year
But i must say i don`t miss Lollipop to be honest and the B145 KK build is rock solid in batterylife.

Getting Lollipop took ages I worry Marshmallow will take another 3 years!! What abut EMUI? I'm in NZ and I've been told New Zealand won't be getting 3.1

Can`t imagine 5.1.1 will not contain EMUI 3.1 on all firmwares all over the world.

I've already tried a factory reste and it didn't work. I am on the B137 P03 and I don't think I have another recovery than the stock one because I didn't change anything.
One more thing : after an unsuccessful update when I look to the system infos I found that I have 5.0 in the Android version and EMUI 3.0 not 3.1. But the rom is still B137 :/ I don't understand

I'm already saving my pennies to buy a new phone, and it won't be a huawei

I was looking at the Moto G5 plus today, I'm debating man.

Strange that the date of the B381 build is 06.03.2017, whereas it only got released yesterday. It's probably not going to be worth the hassle.

There nothing strange about this.
Often the case the dates of data or OS is older then the release dates, so there nothing strange about this statement.

True, but previously the build and release dates were close . According to the build date this soft is only 4 days younger than B380, but it's been published on the server over a month later which the small bump in the version number seems to confirm.

Hi Guys ,
i am using FRD-L19C432
it came with B131 , and i used FF to upgrade to B360 , things were fine .. i thought i would go to B380 , but everytime i download and install it , system stays at B360 , so i rolled back to B131 today ... and i need your help because i feel kinda lost how to proceed.
1- should i go from B131 to B380 ?? or B381 directly ?
2- is there a way to flash the firmware from SD ? everytime i try that it fails at 5 % ( incompatibility issues ) .. i am sure i got the correct firmware.
so every time i want to try something , i have to download using FF , which is not that fast ..
please give me a hint , how to proceed.
3- i am lost in the updates too some are FULL OTA MF , others have another letters like PV .. what are those ?
thanks for your help <3 <3

Just an FYI, I was able to flash L04-B360 from TWRP. YMMV of course, as to whether that works with this update.

B131 - B381 via charles not working here (all looks good until it reboots, then fail to verifying update package)

Can't download latest firmware

Hi!
My problem is that I can't download the latest firmware like the FRD-L09C432B394. The latest for my phone is the FRD-L09C432B389.
I tried rollback the phone to Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1, installing C432B131 official firmware
The phone takes me to update to Android 7.0, and then to FRD-L09C432B389. After that, no other updates.
I wiped all the things I could before doing that, and uninstalled roots. I don't know what the problem might be.
Hope you guys could help me, maybe there's an obvious spot that I'm missing.
UPDATE: After 9 days I still didn't get the update. I'm sure now there's a problem, and I can't find it.
UPDATED 2: I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

Have you tried firmware finder?

Updates roll out in batches, so wait and you'll get it

It happened to me also, Indian Variant, but after few days, I received via phone updater. Tried to push via firmware finder but couldn't install.

just wait for the updates, and reset once and try.

Not for me unluckly. I manage to download the update through the official update option, but when it reaches 100% it says something like the update isn't compatible, and deletes it.

May be you need to be little more patience.
We have B340 rolling out for Honor 6X and few got it in early August and few getting it now and others are still waiting but they are getting slowly. Its like they are slowly sending to users but eventually send to all.

I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

L21C432B367 recovery and boot .img request

Accidentally when i updated from B360 to B365, i immediately got prompted with the update to B367, and due my motivation to go on latest security patch i didn't stored the B367 package on my HDD, so i didn't had the chance to extract from it the stock boot and recovery images for future updates. Now B368 is out and obviously I'm in need of those files; someone have a copy of them to share with me (and other members too)?

I think you can use the recovery and boot.img of B360/B365 etc. if you have mate can try else let me know I will download the file and share.
Edit- last file I see available on FF is B366 that too OTA file and full firmware is available only for B365.

Yeah already gave a check on FF bro and as you said it's since B365 that other updates aren't uploaded, so I'll give a try with B365 files... If it should work, I'll report it here... Hope so.

Today i flashed B365 boot and recovery files: at phone startup I've encountered bizzare things, like an unmatching PIN of screen unlock (never changed it in months), and so I wasn't able to access the phone anymore; luckily i always have with me on my external SD my previous backup, so i reflashed TWRP by fastboot and restored the backup, recovering the access to my device. Anyway i took the files requested by me by myself; for everyone that could ever need 'em, you can find those here

Don't worry pal, nothing hard to solve. Huawei devices improved my problem solving :laugh: Recovery sounds ok to use, in fact i think that it was surely boot.img faults.

Same here in Germany. I am still on B394 and have the security patch from August. This is awful. The worst thing is to see them every month making a version with the current security patches but dont rolling them out. How hard could it be. Seriously, Honor has to improve this.

What more can i say? Just totally agree with you. Today i've read that Honor 8 Pro has received official beta Oreo in India, and we don't even know if we're in or out. We just know "the device is under testing phase". What the hell, i'm not an exited guy about updates and i know i shouldn't "expect" Oreo because usually Huawei/Honor just give one major update, but i can't give up to marketing needs. I can't believe and i can't give up to the idea that one day they could easily tell us that our device "hasn't passed the compatibility test" because we all know the our H8 can handle oreo on the hardware side. Even lower specs device can, why could our device be "incompatible"? Well, i think that a company has to put users first rather than money. If they made the same thing about H7 i can't trust them anymore and i will look to other companies.
P.s i know hat the CEO told H8 is in list to be updated, then removed this part...but without any official news at today i won't believe it.
P.P.s I know i bought a great device that works well and still better compared to other, in fact i'm not judging the product itself but the market strategy behind Honor products, wich should really be revisioned because you can't produce for example 10 device a year and fully support just few of them and for less time than they deserve.

I tried it by TWRP, i get error 7 on update.zip Someone know why?

I think this is the Spectre patch for this device. How b**tards the people are at Huawei/Honor that they can't release this critical security update for the Honor 8 (FRD-L09C432)!

The update is still Nougat with the Android patch level now at 1st January 2018. Attached is the screenshot from About Phone.

The safest method is to use my Flashing Unapproved Firmwares guide. With it, you not only update the partitions but also the data partition.

Hey guys, some italian sites report that's EMUI 5.1 instead 5.0.1. Is that correct? I can't tell anything about because i haven't received the update yet
