So I'm finally ready to say goodbye to my H8 but after relocking the bootloader ,rolling back and dloading B360 for the L09 i am unable to get OTAs.
I thought i could simply flash another version from FF but all that did is allow me to update through HiSuite.
Plus it (HiSuite) always says I'm on a developer version.
Could anyone guide me to a proper L09 stock version that i can dload or anything else that would help?
I think I've had the problem before but I can't remember what I did to fix it other than maybe downgrading to MM.
But dloading the same file after that seems kind of pointless.

I Had That Problem When I Rebranded.
All You Have To Do Is Use " Get An Update Through DNS" In Firmware Finder And Now I Had The Latest Version.
And Then While I Did That I Suddenly Started To Get Updates Without Firmware Finder
Oh And Also How To Get To Stock:

Well the issue is i did both of those and neither allowed me to get official OTAs.
I want to sell the device as long as its worth something so this is rather important for that
But the rollback files i used are quite old so maybe its a wrong version or something.
But I did update through the FF proxy, same thing.no luck
Edit: i did the proxy update so maybe thats the culprit, but isnt it just downloading the same version as the dns one?

Which fw you were trying to install. I do not understand how you can not install eg B380 because it is point version and approved install over dload. What about unlock bootloader and flash fw over twrp?

I can install it but not over official OTA.
Also i saw i asked the same question on your other thread and apparently downgrading to MM fixed it last time.
So sorry,i forget things easy
I will try that
Tried it again with the official Rollback package and MM firmware.
Got the OTA to B360 and now, no OTA again...
Anyone have any suggestions?

I am Currently on HONOR_8_Firmware_FRD-L02_C675B160CUSTC675D001_India.
I have tried to update to HONOR_8_Firmware_FRD-L02_C675B310CUSTC675D001_India, but I keep getting the error "Software Install Failed, Incompatibility with the current version."
What could be the reason for this? The phone was earlier on B130. There was OTA update to B140 and later to B160.
I am not rooted. The phone is Re-locked. I am on Stock recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s. FF method does not work for me.

What it mean?
Because updating was always possible with the version so labeled.
Someone found an answer for Charles to get this update?
I think none of these 3 packages will be able to be installed. If you are not satisfied with B360 or B380, simply go for B381. The battery and the performance are great. Even though the "close apps after lock" feature is still bugged (every time when I unlock my device, facebook and instagram etc are in background instead of closed), there is NO drain and the battery life is better compared to the B380
Actually I've still not received the B381 update
Can I somehow install 381 from 380 without twrp?

No, sorry. There are 2 threads about B381, a search engine and of course - google.
This thread is about B386 and it has nothing to do with something else.
I have this phone for about one week now.
It is a very good phone.
I have been reading a lot about the flashing or upgrading to the latest firmware.
As I have understood you must first go to MM to be able to use Charles or FF method.
When I got the phone it was on MM but it updated only to B360 and not to the B380
And now I see there is also the latest B386
I have the L09 model
And my question would be, since I dont want to root and install twrp and not evan force the update with FF or Charles.. I would like to ask you guys how long does it usually take to get it via OTA by the normal official way?
Or do I have to use the FF way?

The official OTAs appear like a month or two after the updates in FF. Basically, they are the same. So far we do not have any news about the B386 update. As far as I know it carries the April security patch. I recommend you to go for B381. I am already using the B381 for a few days and I find the battery life to be the best so far on Nougat.
Thanks @qtoo941
For now thats what I wanted to know
My wi fi at home is broken
As soon as my provider fixes my internet
I will give it a try with FF
Thanks again

How did u managed to Switch to B386?
Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build
I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.
Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.
i m not able to install stock recovery i m on twrp AND THERE IS NO OS IN MY PHONE

Help me.my build number is b361 and I want to update to b380
Hi all,
I have the AL10 dual sim version and have managed to rebrand it to L09. I've tried a few times to get custom roms working but they all seem to have the same issue which is that the sim card cannot be detected (I'm using a 4g Australian sim). I'm now back on stock EMUI 5 version b300 but have found there is no smart key feature, so I'm trying to update to a more recent version of EMUI. I've tried the method of using the dload folder then holding power and volume up and down and it tries to update but always fails and says to go to Huawei's website.. If I check for updates in settings or in hiSuite it says there are none. Does anyone know how I can get it to work?
Thanks,
Josh
Try using the Update Through DNS thing is Firmware Finder. Otherwise rollback to Marshmallow and update again, which should work.
I had the same problem. So i made the roll back to Marashmallow, then update to the latest Nougat Firmware trough OTA. That worked for me. For everything you can use the related guide here on XDA

Hi all, I have downgraded my p40 pro to 131 to get google apps working. Then tried auto updates and it tells me that there is an update but same version 131, updated to 131 using auto update but it still keeps telling me that I'm on 131 and same version of update available. Connected to PC and use Hisuite and same story, tells me 131 update available (which I already have) and nothing else. Was able to update to 154 using proxy but now same story, it keeps telling me that 154 update available which I did auto update but I still get notification that I there is new update to 154. I cleared data and cache both for Huawei Core and Update app but still same story.
Please help!?!
You will need to use Hisuit Proxi & firmware finder to get more upto date firmware.

Select Full, and use the check availability option to make sure its an approved for install as well, else it will fail.

When I did mine, No. But remove or backup any personal stuff off your memory card if you have one, just in case. Note if you've done the GMS install, make sure you log into All you're accounts, ie YouTube etc first before upgrading firmware. Cause you won't be able to add later.

Update: Ok found it, it is via the advance button and paste the link there to check if it's approved or not.
Is this done via the HiSuit Proxy Advance button? how can i check if it's approved or not?
Use firmware finder to check it's an approved version.

Hmmm we are all on C636. No idea what went wrong. Only difference is 4RP1 and 5RP1. Any difference in those?
Same situation here, I downgrade to version 131 o install GSM and now the phone won't update.
I had to update it using HiSuite and now I'm on 183 version.
Hope there is a way to fix the OTA updates on the phone.
getting regular updates after installing GMS via googlefier
Doing some research I have found what is happening:
On your P40 Pro, in the "About phone" screen you can see the build number and then a number between ( ), example: Build number 10.1.0.131 (C636E8R5P1)
The number after the C will tell you the version or region of your firmware, in the example C636 = version/region 636
When you downgrade using a different version/region you will loose the OTA updates on the phone, and this will only be restored after you install your correct version/region firmware.
You will need to find the correct version of your firmware and have the "dload" version, and install it from external card. There is a video showing how to do this, but the link on the video is for a version/region 636, if you have a different version/region it won't fix anything.
Once you have the correct firmware and install it, you will begin receiving OTA again. This process, at least on my phone, erased everything, so be aware of this.
