Maybe can, you have US version MM? Why after rollback you instal US version? Model rollback was NRD900... and thats something like international and after you must install correct package uff, I think this will be strange. Probably you able to install US Nougat if you have now US version MM

Idiot's guide to updating stock firmware

Hello,
It's been many years since I messed with rooting or firmware flashes, so please help me out.
I am currently on 106 firmware on a CLT-L29C605 (latin american model).
I see in the following link that 121 firmware can be downloaded for my phone:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/download-huawei-p20-pro-b121-stock-firmware-8-1-0-121-clt-l09-clt-l29/
I have sent the request to Huawei for a bootloader unlock code.
What exactly do I need to do to flash the newer stock update? I don't care about root or xposed or any of that jazz, just want to keep pace with the latest and greatest stock firmware without having to wait for it to hit OTA (if ever).
Do I unlock bootloader and install TWRP and flash the update.zip? If so, do I need the official TWRP or unofficial?
Is there another way to flash the update.zip?
What's the easiest way to accomplish stock firmware updates?
Help!
Someone knowledgeable please weigh in!
Cant REALLY help you but afaik you dont need an unlocked bootloader for a stock firmware.
That doesn't make sense.
to get the newest OTA update you can use Firmware Finder (It's also available in the PlayStore). You don't need to unlock the bootloader or flash a custom recovery to use FirmwareFinder, but the firmware has to be approved for your device (you can check with Firmware Finder).
To flash not approved updates you have to:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. flash TWRP
3. use this Tool
BUT BE AWARE OF after flashing a custom recovery you can't use the offical way to get OTA updates, because it will boot to custom recovery instead of stock recovery. The official update.zip package has some checks which fail when you use TWRP.
The easiest way to get OTA updates without waiting is to use Firmware Finder.

From what I understand, for locked boot loader, using Firmware Finder to update to latest approved firmware does not work for P20 and P20 Pro on Oreo 8.1. You will not be able to use the DNS or in-app Proxy method to update to the latest firmware.
Thanks for everyone that weighed in. I can now state with certainty that the idiot's best method is to use funky huawei. I emailed them the new firmware I was looking for my specific phone, they added it to their site, and I updated it this morning all in 20 minutes. No bootloader, root or any other drama. Their email support is EXCELLENT as well, well worth the reasonable price of entry.
I'm now on 121a, thanks all.

I can download the newest fw with Firmware Finder, but if I do IMEI check all of them are not compatible.

I have ran in to the same thing. Still searching for a work around without paying for Funky Huawei.
Did you notice any improvements regarding stability, performance or camera with this new version?

FunkyHuawei works for me. takes a little bit of time to set new DNS servers in your router and then reset them after flashing but it has worked flawlessly for me. I have the same 605 phone and updated to 121a without any problems.

Cant find stock firmware for version 9.1.0.252

Hi all,
I have a rooted system (MHA-L09C432) which I updated from version B191 to B252 (OTA).
Update worked so far but to root my device with Magisk again, I need the stock firmware for my new Version 9.1.0.252 (or at least the stock recovery).
I can't find that version via Firmware finder (only B191 is shown as latest version).
I tried MHA-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.252 (new firmware denotation?) but although Magisk shows root access, I can't modify any root files...
So is this the wrong version or is the problem Magisk related?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Relationship between bootloader and Android version

Is there a link between the Bootloader version and the Android version?
If I update my phone to the latest android version will this update my Bootloader to the latest version also?
Or they are completely independent from each other?
There is no link. Bootloader originates from the OEM on the device and will not get updated.

SM-J710FN downgrade binary or downgrade adrod 8.1.0 to 6.0.1

Is there any way to downgrade binary 6 to 3 or just downgrade android oreo to marshmallow (ik its the same thing)
If someone ask "why?" touchwiz
It is not possible to lower the binary. This is what it was introduced for.
If the phone allows you to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP and Custom ROM, then you can try to find a ROM based on an earlier firmware version, but it will no longer be a fully trusted firmware.
