Still no B380 update on my L09C432 ...

Hi there, so I think that everyone has B380 now... But I haven't got the update yet, so I'm still on B360 so I'm wondering if anybody else have the same problem.

Same

I have the FRD-L14 in the US, and I'm also still on B360

No update here Europe (Slovenia)

No update here in Finland either (on B360). I'm wondering if they might give priority to those still on Marshmallow and provide update for B360 last (just speculation). That would be logical and even quite fair.

same here in Croatia
asked the customer service, they got no clue

Firmware Finder doesn't work though, when you get to recovery to update it says it failed to verify package.

L04 doesn't even have B380 on Firmware Finder yet. Our last update was in the beginning of January. It has the December security update. It's now April.
I don't think asking for a monthly security update three times a year is greedy.

Guys.
Before you all rush out and try to install this 380 update.
The battery life on 380 is alot worse than it was on 360.
My phone has never been rooted, never been played about with.
Only had officially released OTA updates.
Yes you will be the January security patch but that's about all.
I wish i had kept mine on the 360 that was stable and better than this 380

Agreed the 380 update sux's big time, battery is shocking. I'm almost at the point of giving up on this phone because of the very odd battery performance.

You may have to use the dload method, or flash it via TWRP

Did you get the ~1.4GB OTA released April 2nd or the ~2.2GB one released on the 29th. The 1.4GB version was also released again on the 29th. The update notes in the later release mention fixing the "OK Google"/Google Assistant bug in the camera app and say they improved power consumption. The earlier release notes were just a copy paste of the Nougat/EMUI 5.0 update (B320 or 324 I think? I don't feel like checking). I'm really hoping we get post-380 in all regions with March security updates and bug fixes sometimes soon. B382 is out for L02 (China?) already.

Bump, still no update avalible
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs

I also did the manuall install with the dload method.
But as the battery drain there is no on B381 it is for
me evan better then it was on B360
If someone want to do it also manuall with the dload method just read
the page 4 and page 5 from the links below.. it also has the download link
for the B381
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/firmware-b386-frd-l09-t3600156/page4
If the firmware is not for you and you need to use the FF for it..
Just look at the you tube in the link below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpeZOK7ATB8&t=125s
And after you downlaod the firmware dont update now.. but choose to update later..
Then go ahad with the dload method and install it manually..
It is the same as you would get it OTA but it just forces the update.. nothing more
At least as much I have understand it from the experiance users

I got my update from 360 to 381 three days ago (L19C432 in Finland). So the update is clearly still rolling out.

FF update?

Noticed Firmware finder showed a security patch for Nougat, dated in June. Since my phone shows
April as the last patch, tried to install it, bombs out....FYI, if you are like me and run a adblocker like ADGUARD
which is basically a VPN....TURN IT OFF FIRST!!!!
So after I did that, updating via proxy, the default system update program on the phone, shows updates
available and started downloading.
My question is, after it gets to 100%, it pops up and says another patch is available, downloads it, and another
patch, download s it and so on. Now I'm up to patch #16....
The entire thing is suppose to be 3.87GB. Instead of downloading the entire file, does it just download it in
chunks of around 284k?
This is a USA branded version of the 9 by the way.

Was gonna update this morning via FF but it says it's not approved using my IMEI (or not) :/

After you see that there is an update (the 200 some mb security one), start downloading, pause, disconnect from proxy and resume. It wont keep downloading updates after that.
However, after installing the update, my security patch still says april. So i guess its a no go.

I switched my wireless, to another one that I had not set up the proxy for. It finished, updated, said it updated, but the file specs still show April security patch. So like you mentioned, apparently it didn't work.
I'll just wait til it hits the official EMUI update app. FF never seems to get it right for the USA variation of the phone.

New firmware but I can't seem to update. Firmware not approved for installation.

Bump ;3

FF has become pretty much useless for me lately. For my Porsche Design Mate 9 it just doesn't detect anything newer than B180, while there were a couple of more recent official firmware updates after that one.

UK Updates

Hi. I got an Honor 9 through Three in the UK approx 3 months ago. It came unbranded and is currently on C432B100. Has anyone in the UK received any updates since getting their phone via OTA. I have already questioned this through HiCare chat and they have stated that there are some security updates coming soon. I previously had a P9 which never received an update in the 2 years I had it. Live chat also said that the updates are done in batches but i doubt there are that many Honor 9's in the UK to receive updates that warrant it to be put in batches.

Im stuck in the same situation, still on B100 firmware, with, what seems like no hope of any updates, im waiting on official oreo, as from what i have read, huawei already has the correct partitions for project treble, and someone has got oreo treble working on a mate 9, which has the kirin 960, and i think someone else got it booted on an honor 9.
i guess its just a waiting game for now. oreo is in beta, so i expect an official update soon.

Just use the firmware finder app to spoof updates to your device. I used this and am now on B180 working fine.

do the capacative buttons work on B180?

Ive got firmware finder installed, and can download the latest firmware, i'm assuming i need to then flash the zip with TWRP, only problem ive got is that I don't have a microSD card.
unless you can perform a 'fake' OTA with the firmware finder app?
It also says that the firmware is not approved for installation when I check access

i've found a B180 firmware on ff and used the in app proxy to install but got an unstable network message after 65% which then reset to 0. Am i doing anything wrong?

This is a bug in firmwarefinder, happens to me also sometimes. also you guys dont need a custom recovery, leave everything stock, bootloader locked and frp and the HWFF update can still be done. When unstable network message occurs for me it always helped to stop the HWFF proxy and restart it, then when everything is downloading well i leave the phone alone till 100%. Then update starts in the same way as OTA directly out of settings menu. No need for recovery, sd cards etc. Only make sure that you get the FULL OTA package and proof your imei first. If its not approved the huawei check wont verify the firmware and the installation will fail (without consequences).
approved firmwares are B120, B150 and B180 as far as i have checked myself. For the other ones i think the best is to install the nocheck_recovery

Hello
You can use also Funky Huawei. However, it is not free. But, it works fine.

Do tools like funkyhuawei and dc-unlocker execute more sophisticated code than you can do yourself?

Hi. Just updated to B180 via FF proxy. Had trouble getting it to download via WiFi so used my mobile data and worked perfectly.

I finally got it to work, successfully on b180 now, don't see why b181 etc.. is listed as they are not approved for install

It just lists all of the firmwares that are available for the model. There is a seperate check whether they have been approved for install.

I think the proxy in FF is only to trigger the download. I always shut it down straight after the download starts.

Ok, I think not.
See demo: https://youtu.be/pt5pWPhcsW4
There's a short pause when you shut it down, but it resumes quickly afterwards on your standard connection.
Of course, there is nothing wrong keeping the proxy on during the download.

An update for people on B100 in the UK. I updated the other week to B180 via FF proxy. I received the OTA for B182 just now and everything working fine. So at least it still receives updates. One further mention, I previously had a p9 before my honor 9 and across almost 3 years this is the first update I have ever received. It makes.you wonder how bothered Huawei are about their phone updates.

Thanks, UK on B100 as well, didn't realise there had been so many updates. I've just installed FF, can you tell me which version of B180 you selected? Was it the full version or the update?

Choose full if you have the bandwidth and time to be sure.

Thanks, I've started the download of the 3GB update file with the proxy then removed the proxy and it has continued. Downloading over a 4G hotspot so might take a bit of time. Hopefully I'll be updated soon and hopfully Three UK allow VoLTE for this handset.

[OREO] Not Receiving Update / Need Help

Hi guys! Would just like to seek some assistance regarding my girlfriend's phone. I know that the Oreo update is out for quite some time now, but her phone doesn't seem to be receiving the OTA update.
I've read some other guides instructing to use Firmware Finder(?). But I haven't tried it yet since I haven't seen her phone's build number from my searches.
Please see below:
Model: MHA-L29
Build Number: MHA-L29C185B110
We can find a lot of available firmware in the Firmware Finder app but I'm being extra cautious as I do not have any experience regarding this issue.
Any input or instructions will be greatly appreciated.

I wasnt seeing it either, called huawei support, pretty much useless. tried to do a forced Oreo update via huawei file finder and hisuite, but that bricked my phone. let the battery die down, then i got control of volume keys on boot, that got me to the erecovery, downloaded 7 again, oh well, at least it was going to work, but immediately upon reboot, it said i had an update to Oreo ready! so I did it and it worked. I think if you are rooted in 7, it wont find 8. just some food for thought.

The unit came from Dubai and we haven't done any rooting to it since we do not know how.
Is there any easier workaround for it?

FF is easiest.
But you need to choose right ROM version.
Check other threads and notice what versions of region C185 were distributed by OTA.
In FF you must choose ROM with FullOTA-MF tag.
There are 186, 187, 188, 189 builds, but I don't know which is actual, cause I have C636 region.
Builds from B321 and higher are on Android 8 (Oreo). Otherwise, I recommend upgrade to last build on Android 7, then start experimenting with Oreo
There is one build B187 with FullOTA-MF-PV tag.
According changelog it created by Huawei to downgrade onto Android 7 from Oreo. But it is still FullOTA, so it is independent one. Thoughts, that it can be used to upgrade from your old build B110 to actual.
P.s. don't forget to turn proxy off before finishing download. It will avoid traffic waste.
P.p.s. Backup your important data first.
FullOTA doesn't clear user data usually, but FullOTA-MF-PV can do it.

Mha-l29c185b187 FullOTA-MF-PV

I saw a youtube video where he clicked the in-app proxy then he went to the WiFi settings to check to proxy. It was set to localhost and 8080.
After backing up important files, should I just go straight to the FF app and download the build? So sorry for the noob questions.

No need to download manually.
FF forces ROM to install via system update. It looks like phone will get notification about new ROM and you simply decide to install. Phone will download ROM and install it.

Okay, so all I have to do is choose the one you specified earlier them I'm all good? Will try it later and revert for any developments. Thank you!

So I tried downloading the build you suggested but after downloading, it failed to install and said the software was not authorized or something.
Are builds only compatible to its corresponding region? I'm from the Philippines, by the way. But the phone originated in the Middle East.

Ok. Check availability by imei in FF of every FullOTA ROM version 186+

Full OTA MF only? Not Full OTA MF PV?

Got the update finally! I've been checking every day almost

Hello, sorry it took so long. I successfully updated the phone to a new build no. Mha-L29c185B188. But we still couldn't see the oreo update in the updater settings. Please advise next step for an oreo update.

Hi i live in Lebanon and i have the Middle east variant C185 and i am still on MHA-L29C185B188 since 2 months.
No Oreo update till today. maybe we have to just wait a little more. Normally release of OTA updates is by IMEI and not by region.

I have a ME variant C185 as well. So I have been eagerly awaiting Oreo update since long too.
I have recently moved to Australia, as you rightly noted, the phone wouldnt update here too, since Huawei is probably checking region or IMEI or both to allow firmware updates.
Last night, I downloaded FF to check and finally managed to find Oreo update being available. Its currently downloading the 2.67 GB OTA update. But I didnt install it yet.
The version number of the download is 8.0.0.370 (C185).
You can try your luck thru FF, and I hope it works for you as well. Good luck!

Stuck on EMUI 8.0.0.379 - No new updates

Please I need help, last week I installed EMUI 9.0.1.158 on my MHA-L29 but I wasn't so impressed so I rolled back to 8.0.0.379 (by using HiSuite) and now I changed my mind but can't get to update anymore. No updates show up on System Update, HiSuite or HiCare. I deleted data & cache from System Update, even did a factory reset but nothing changed. How is it possible? I hope you guys can help me. Thank you.

I hv the same issue ,when I received the update notifications, I didn't update immediately and after few days it gone and I never get any notifications .please help.

9.0.1.158 is no longer approved (at least for me). I guess we have to wait until 9.0.1.179 full OTA comes out...

same story, cannot upgrade to A9

will try with FF and modded hisuite, cause I was successful with Honor 10 today upgrading to FW 222. It works, but sometimes says no internet connection. It requires many tries.

Already have new firmware android pie dun give up guys.

You receive the OTA?

I'm stuck on 8.0.0.376, do I need to upgrade via the spoof method to "latest" 8.0.0.xxx THEN try a full/partial 9.0 OTA?
Ive tried partial OTAs from 9.0 that are approved = hisuite says update failed.
Ive tried 1 full OTA from 9.0 that is approved = hisuite downloads passes all ok, phone reboots = verification failed (I assume phone is NOT connecting to internet on eRecovery phase right? but you never know. Since I'm only spoofing on windows not on the router).

Yes uninstall old one (backups if any won't be deleted) and reinstall with instructions.

yes but i revert back. many bugs.after i revert all become normal still can update dun worry

Same here, i updated to 9 then hated the bugs so used hisuite to downgrade, then i got s10e, since the mate 9 is my secondary phone now, i need the butter like smoothness of emui 9
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk

New regions for 9.0 on the Mate 9 has been released at the start of June 3rd. In the next week, I guess we'll see who gets it

9.0.1.191(C432) has been approved for installation on FF, so the update should arrive during the coming days/weeks.

9.0.1.191 (C432) is approved for installation, I tried install via the firmware finder eRecovery method but the udpate stuck at downloading 0%
---------- Post added at 17:59 ---------- Previous post was at 17:23 ----------
It's quite strange that Middle East variant i.e. C185 has received the update since March and the Europe region is still waiting for the update. Whereas previously it was totally opposite.

Update: After wasting an hour and download the approved 9.0.1.191 via eRecovery from Firmware Finder, the package gave "Package Authentication Failed Error" on 99%.
