Not able to upgrade to nougat (FRD-L02C675)

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.

but yesterday honor 8 nougat india start rolling see the link here
you will got the update soon

How can I get nougat on my NXT-L09C636B191? Firmware finder app doesn't work.

Just trying to somehow get nougat without rooting or anything. Firmware finder shows an OTA available for L09C636B593 but I can't get it to go into updater.

This is a good question because I'm in the same boat

same to you

About the only way I've seen so far, is to load twrp, screw around with other files, load a custom rom.
Until the rom shows up via the stock updater, or, the firmware finder app shows something that says
FULL and not OTA or FullOTA, you and the rest of us are stuck until Huawei officially releases it.
It's not that bad of a deal though, 6 for me anyway is VERY stable.

I agree it's stable but one of the reasons I bought a huawei phone was they are supposed to be the first to update to new versions and here I am still waiting. I thought Samsung was bad but guess what the s7 is already on android 7 and I'm not.
I think I'll be going back to Samsung soon as the note 8 comes out.

from L09C636b210 you can update via Firmware Finder to L09C636b521. Then go to System Update and you will see L09C636b563 update available. I recommend DOWNLOAD LATEST FULL PACKAGE from the pull down menu.

The update came for me, but not through firmware finder. Mine came through the built in update program
in the phone.
Mine was L29C185B180, then I got 321 through firmware finder, but it never would update. When I saw someone
post that 560 came through, I tried firmware finder, never had anything, but when I checked the Huawei update
app and it showed up.
I uninstalled the firmware finder app. Nice idea, but didn't work for me.

not receiving OTA updates

I'm using mate 9 pro. Version is LON-L29C636B139.
I heard the latest version is B156. How can I get such update. I tried checking update in settings but it says no update available for me.

It would depend on your region and which updates your carrier has approved to be released via OTA. Some carriers take long to test updates before release, as is the case here in Australia.
Where are you located?

I have the same version as you and had to use the Firmware Finder method to get the 156 update.

Hi!
I tried using the Firmware Finder method. Downloaded firmware through Firmware Finder, set Localhost and port 8080. But find nothing when search for update through the settings. Any ideas?

Sorry, not sure what to suggest. I just followed the instructions as per the app and thread on here, and it worked first time.

Don't download the files through Firmware Finder (useless to you), change settings in Firmware Finder to "Installation via system update", "Use new firmware base", "Use system download manager" and "View OTA updates". Then refresh the list of firmware, then find the firmware you want to install, tap it and then tap "Send firmware to updater". Then change your Proxy settings, then use the "System update" Settings page to look for updates, it should then popup. Once it starts downloading thru system updater, turn off the Proxy.

Hello to everyone!!
I have a problem with my Honor 8, it is the FRD-L09 model firmware B394.
I installed Firmware Finder from Playstore and tried to downloaded the B402 version, it downloaded a lot of packages ota and then tried to install the update without success.
After that, when I turn on the phone, there is this message. If I push the power button the phone starts.
I don't know if it can be useful but if I go into fastboot mode the phone says: phone unlocked and frp locked, but I haven't unlock the bootloader. The phone is new, purchase from the honor site.
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT: I was able to resolve the problem with the rollback guide of huawei, flashing MM via dload!!

When you update with FF, I recommend to use the change DNS thing. Just for the future.

You can try to reinstall EMUI on it. There is a guide called "back to emui from custom roms", which requires the openkirin twrp, though. Anyway, did you check that you have firmware access with IMEI?

Yes, I checked it before start the update
EDIT: Can I use the restore option into Hisuite?

When using either option, in System Update press the 3dot menu and select full package. This will download one large update rather than the multiple OTA files.

Typically you get this problem when you install an update without locking the bootloader.. This happened with me couple of weeks back.. I think happens, cos during the process of the update the bootloader gets locked, but it doesnt come up on the fastboot (donno why)
I just unlocked the bootloader using the OEM code and voila it worked... I was able to get ride of this message as well as root the phone.. Do try and let me know!

@kishorev
have you asked OEM code from huawei site?

Mate 9 stuck on 7.0 Nougat

I bought my son a second hand Mate 9 last February for his birthday and all is well, the phone works perfectly and he is delighted.
We were talking about software yesterday and when he might get the 9.0 pie update. It turns out he hasn't even got Oreo yet and his phone is still on 7.0 and is on February 2017 security patch!
When you search for update on the phone there is nothing, In Hicare there is nothing. I used Huawei Firmware Finder and can see a number of 8.0 updates and a couple are compatible with his phone. I have followed the app instruction method to download and install, but no joy. When I follow the process the last step is to go back to the phone settings and check for update but there is still nothing showing.
Can anyone help?
He has a Mate 9 MHA-L29 Dual Sim variant.

I used a force update with a modified hosts for Windows and modded hisuite, unfortunately I can't find the link anymore but it's here on xda somewhere.
The procedure is you download firmware Finder in your phone, find the latest firmware that is approved for your phone, then click update via erecovery, and the modded hisuite will see it and update your phone

hisuite now can update till 9.1
