MT7-TL10 Offical OTA C9OOB329

Hey Folks, I re-flashed my original factory Kitkat firmware (B119, Philippines version) and was able to update via OTA to B120 then B130. When I checked updates for B130 I recevied an OTA for Lollipop B329 (see screenshots). I have downloaded the OTA but haven't installed it yet. If anyone knows how I could grab it so I could upload it somewhere feel free to comment below.

you can save this update by copying the dload-ota and dload folders content to your pc

I tried that but didn't see the download on those folders.

Look in hwouc folder after downloading th ota

can you please upload it the ota

What we really need are stock ROMs that can be flashed by TWRP or CWM recovery in ZIP format. That way we can do a Nandroid backup of our working and legit system before experimenting. Also would remove the need to relock bootloader and stuff about flashing three or four different firmwares to get to the one we want......
My phone seems stuck at B130 KK as no OTA updates have come since.
I have it running really nice, but I would love to be able to experiment easily and restore to how it was.
Being able to restore quickly via recovery would be great.
It seems there are no good ROMs that are not by Huawei. All have issues and/or things not working, but half of the Huawei ROMs seem buggy too!

So have you found the update file yet? Mine is also on B130 so an official update would be great. I could do a backup in CWM first, do the relock bootloader etc, update and do another backup then be able to use either ROM by recovery backup flashing.

I also got the OTA update, but sadly, I didn't see this thread before I installed B329. Is there any way to get the update file?
For this update, a lot of features were removed compare to B324, B326, B328.
1. Flick gestures were removed
2. Unlock phone app icon removed
3. Double tap to wake phone removed
4. Drawing gestures removed
Anyway, 'dload-ota' folder is empty.

Yes you can but first you have to flash the rollback file and go to the original rom of kitkat that you have before and than the ota update well appear when you download it dont install you have to go to the.hwouc files in your internal file of your phone andcopy the named update.zip in your pc

Hesy Guys sorry I was not able to provide the OTA file as I flashed Kang VIPv2 on it. But with my experience on this Rom its not really that much different. I was hoping that the battery stats would stick as the OT has mentioned fixing it. But after a day or two, and after rooting the Battery stats are gone again. Should I get another shot at clean installing things again from the bottom up (beginning from B119) I shall try again to get hold of the OTA.

From my experience when i rollback to the original kitkat firmwire b128 the ota appear in my phone and iwas able to copy it after dowloading(before install) i fond the file of the ota update in hwouc in the memory of the phone

[GUIDE] Upgrade from EMUI 4.1/Android 6.0 to latest firmware

It took me 2 full days to finally successfully upgraded my ancient firmware (L09C16B170) to the updated version (L09C432B397). There are a lot pieces of information that I gathered from this forum and all over the internet that collectively helped me navigate this ordeal. Just want to share it with anyone who is in the same boat, although I know that P9 won't last for too long since P10 has been out for a while. However, if you still want to revive your P9, keep reading.
Requirement
Before reading, you need to understand ways of entering different modes of your P9 phone, which will be used many many times during your upgrade:
Enter recovery mode (also how you enter TWRP) - see this GUIDE
Enter fastboot mode - see this GUIDE
Enter manual upgrade mode (also called dload method; This is NOT TWRP method) - see this GUIDE. Please IGNORE any software or download information in this guide. I want you to refer to this guide for how to do it, NOT what to use or download!
You also need to download and know how to use ADB tool which is quite simple. Search the forum or google and you will find plenty of information and the download links. If you hate command lines, you can even use the GUI version from here.
You will probably also need to use Firmware Finder for Huawei (HWFF) to download firmware of interest for manual update during this process. HWFF is an app that can be installed for free via your phone Google Play Store. The downloaded firmware is saved under the HWFF folder in the internal memory. You might need to unzip these files for upgrade via dload method or directly via TWRP method without unzipping. However TWRP method requires you to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP in the phone (see below for details).
First step - debranding
If you are already on C432xxxx, you might just skip this step. I followed this thread partially (Debranding Guide by Z-Blade), since the whole thing doesn't work for me 100%.
Z-Blade did a fantastic job describing how to debrand his C34 firmware to C342B361. My original version is C16B170 which is a South Africa branded firmware. But I found certain steps in this guide could be omitted and certain steps didn't work in my case. Here is my modified version based on Z-Blade's version:
1. Unlock your bootloader and install TWRP
How to unlock bootloader? Follow this GUIDE. Even though it's for Huawei Ascend XT. It works for P9 as well. You only need to complete Part 1.
After you unlock the bootloader, install TWRP. Depending on which firmware version you're on, the version of TWRP that might work for your device changes. I encountered numerous booting loops due to incorrect version of TWRP. Finally I found that these three versions work for me (3.1.0-0, 3.1.1-0, 3.1.1-1). Always go with the highest version first (3.1.1-1). If you find yourself stuck in the booting screen, long press your power button until you get out of it and install another version of TWRP. Please go to TWRP official website to download TWRP for Huawei P9. Follow this GUIDE to install TWRP recovery on your phone.
2. Flash OEM info file for C432
After you unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery, download oeminfo-huawei-p9-eval09-c432.zip from this THREAD and flash it via TWRP method.
3. Flash C432B136 firmware
Download and flash the dload-huawei-p9-eval09-eva-b136.zip via dload method from this thread. After flashing and rebooting your phone, you should be on the L09C432B136 firmware. NOTE: If it boots up to a white screen asking you to enter password, reboot into recovery by holding volume up when you powering up your phone, do a wipe partition and factory reset. You may need to reboot your phone a number times before the phone boots up correctly.
Up to this stage, you have debranded your phone to an european version.
Second step - stepwise firmware upgrade
1. Update from B136 to B166 or B182
As mentioned in Z-Blade's original post, many people will not be able to directly update from B136 to B182. I am one of them. Go into the updater in the phone setting, refresh "check for update". If you can receive B182 update, by all means go for it. If you only receive B166 update, go for it as well. After B166 update and rebooting your phone, check updater again to see if you receive B182 update in the Settings menu. If this method does not work, manually update to B182 by following the steps here via dload method.
2. Update firmware from B182 to B360/361/378 and also upgrade OS from Android 6.0/EMUI 4.1.x to Android 7.0/EMUI 5.0
According to Z-Blade, "After your phone has rebooted and you are on the B182 firmware, you need to now update the firmware to B361 via Huawei Updater 2.0". However, in my case, I tried many times and always failed at this step. I found a workaround by updating to B360 instead of B361. Please follow this GUIDE to update to B360 or B361, whichever works for you. However, please pay attention to following change that I found critical:
- The version of Huawei HiSuite is critical for the success in this step. The GUIDE provided Hisuite download link (version 5.0.0.301_OVE). However, it does not work together with Huawei Updater 2.0 in my hands. This error has wasted me almost half day. Instead, I finally found out the problem and went to HERE to download the version 5.0.1.300 and it finally worked
- However, if even after HiSuite and Updater both work together fine the update does not proceed successfully (the updater might get stuck), you need to update it manually via dload method. Search EVA-L09C432B360 or EVA-L09C432B361 in Firmware Finder for Huawei as mentioned above and download the Full-OTA version (~2G). After download, move the corresponding folder containing firmware zip files under "HWFF" folder in the internal memory to the external SD card. Unzip the firmware file and update your phone using dload method. You may also try TWRP method which can install zip files directly, but at this point, you bootloader will be re-locked and TWRP will be gone. You need to unlock the bootloader and re-install TWRP again as mentioned above.
After you successfully update the firmware to B360 or B361, now you should have Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 on your phone. Now go to the updater in your phone setting. You should receive B378 OTA update. Proceed with the update...
You might not need to strictly follow following steps to update your phone to any firmware beyond B378. However, since a lot of new ROMs are based on B380+ or even B390+, if you want to use those, you might need to further update your firmware first.
2. Update firmware from B378 to B383
After updating to B378 and rebooting your phone, check if your phone receives B383 update OTA. If yes, proceed. If not, go to HWFF, download B383 Full-OTA firmware and update via either dload or TWRP method.
3. Update firmware from B383 to whatever later version
After successfully updating your phone to B383, you basically can flash your phone with anything firmware and ROMs built on B380+. I find it unnecessary to update to B386. What I did was that I directly updated from B383 to B394 by following this GUIDE. Since I wanted to try BlueWei 5.7 which is based off B397, I also followed the same guide to update my firmware to B397 before flashing BlueWei ROM.
Now please enjoy all kinds of new ROMs and the fast, revived P9. After this update, my P9 is super smooth (the original firmware and OS was utterly slow and sluggish) and I think I will keep using this phone until it really can't keep up with the hardware requirement of new apps etc.
Hope my guide is helpful!

Nice job to update things and summarize all together. Few comments, though
- Not necessary to go back to c432 b136, to b182 is enough:

- For Nougat, please use Huawei P9 Nougat TWRP:

- For DLOAD method, FullOTA-MF-PV versions should be used

Upgrade form B394 to B402/403

Hello guys,
long story short, I had the notification that a new update was released for my honor 8 FRD-L09C432 (B403, I was on B402), so, since I was rooted and with TWRP installed, I decided to unroot and install the original eRecovery.
Something went wrong and the system was damaged, so I flashed the B360 version first and after the B394. Now the phone is working really good but I can't install the new versions (B402 or 403). I tried:
flash the update from TWRP, not working
search the update from the dedicated option in the settings, no update found
tried to have it from the original eRecovery, error to find the info from the server.
tried also to update from the version B394 before unlock the bootloader, but it failed.
Am I missing something?

Use the get update through DNS thing in FF. It worked for me at least. Make sure the firmware is approved.

Hi Days Tech, could you please explain better what do you mean? Is there a link of some tut that I can follow?
Thanks!

Ok now I have the point, thanks for this tip!:good:

Flash TWRP.
use data.zip file and flash it via TWRP. (only download from FullOTA-MF PV file)
reboot and you are done. you will have updater in settings.
now you can flash the update.zip file via dload.

Flashing zip files from firmware finder

I'm using the indian variant of Honor 8, haven't yet recieved oreo but i wanted to install whatever the latest emui version is available through firmware finder. When downloading from firmware finder around 2-3 months ago i had to download two zips mainly update.zip and region zip. I installed them randomly without any order and i get stock back whenever i wanted. now i want to do this process again but firmware finder says there are three zips to download instead of two. The addition zip is called public zip.
What am i supposed to do? do i have to install it, or can i skip it.
If yes to intall then what would be right order?
PLEASE HELP

1. Oreo ain't worth it.
2. Just flash the main update.zip and then the data.zip and the other one.

first,you must updated to 151.
second,we have to wait to Rollout 158.
I have read Firmware Finder does not work anymore from Emui 8.2.
I tried, but it's really not working anymore.
I have tried everything but nothing works.
I make a rooted Stockrom and flash it,but the Phone does not start and I have to go back to 151 and wait for the Update....

here is it

I think the original question remains unanswered, is there a way to manually flash an update file? Maybe something similar to Samsung devices where you can install update from sd card / adb for instance?
