Rebrand and OTAs - Huawei P20 Questions & Answers

Hello, as the title says, I want to ask if I can continue receiving OTAs on my Huawei P20. I acquired it by an operator in Claro Paraguay and brought the firmware EML-L09 8.1.0.135 (C25). The issue is that seeing that in Europe are more advanced with the updates, I decided to rebrand my phone. I got the unlock code, I opened my bootloader, I rooted, I installed the firmware EML-L09 8.1.0.165 (C432) and I closed my bootloader again being "relocked". So far so good, but when I searched for updates I did not find anything. The firmware downloaded from the FF was 165 dated 17/09 that weighs 3,334 gb and ahead had 2 small Firmwares and another FULL-OTA number 165 but 3,353 gb. Those updates should have arrived and they did not do so because they are RELOCKED? I would appreciate your answers.

Where can I find the Australia Vodafone version firmware??

I'm using Vodafone Mate 7. I can't wait for the OTA update. So I went to Huawei's official website & found the latest update for Mate 7 L09. (http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=62843&key0=Mobile Phones&key1=... After I updated to Android 5.1.1 (MT7-L09 Firmware MT7-L09C900B329_Android5.1.1_EMUI3.1), my phone can't use 4G anymore.
Where can I find the Australia Vodafone version firmware?? I can't find it in Vodafone & Huawei official website.
Aussie Vodafone firmware
Hey mate,
Give this one a crack right here - consumer.huawei.com (change to NZ)
its in new zealand but assuming you have the gold version dual sim which is mostly in australia, this should help.
theres a few versions of the mate 7 in australia alone, MT7-TL10, MT7-L09, MT7-L11. You have the find out which one you have.
If its the white, its generally MT7-L09
gold is MT7-TL10
hope this helps

OTA Updates?

EDIT: On Oreo now.
EDIT:
Is you're stock at an "old" version and the "normal" way of updating via OTA dosn't work try this:
Go to system update setting,
Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select download latest full package.
That should give you the latest Nougat updates.
For Oreo: Try to use HiSuite
Not all countries receive updates at the same time. Even not all phones in the same country.
If you have automatic update enable you'll receive a notification.
Hope so your model belong to the UK (Not sure). If it is UK model, you will get the update within the first batch of release.
If you belong to any other region it takes time. But you will get it for sure.
Depends on the sponsors in your region, your carrier...

No, my model don't "belong" to the UK. I live in Denmark and bought the phone in Denmark.
Don't know if you mean UK model as in European model.
I bought the phone off-contract (it's not branded it anything), so it's not depending on any carrier.
Well I as have understood it, there is no UK version, only a European version (for Europe).
I have the same model and got the b120 update a few days after it was reported here (i guess most here have the US model). The b150 seems to take longer though

As I understands it Huawei have released 6.0.1 aka B150.

Strange? I received and installed B160 and phone info reports I'm on android 6.0
I have model frd al10
Does this mean higher ota version number not necessarily higher version of Android?
Seems like there are 3 versions (regions) of Honor 8.
EU, US and Chinese versions. (32 and 64 gb)
Anyone knows or can confirm which models have what versions of Android, as the latest available as we speak?
Seems like the EU (FRD-L09/AL19) version is running Android 6.0 - B120 (unbranded - not carrier depending)

All are running in 6.0 update. However some region would have got 6.0.1 update. Some regions would have not got it.
Always there will be one incremental update difference (maximum) between the regions. As all regions wont get the update in the same time.
Ok, let me put it this way: Has anyone with the FRD-L09 model received the B150/6.0.1 update yet?
B141 is out of the box. B150 is slowly being distributed still.
I don't think Asian and EU/US release codes are the same.
India 32GB = FRD-L02 firmware so there's more than 3 regional firmware types
The latest firmware for L09C432 is B131 and that is the EU region, L09C636 is Asia, L09C185 is Africa/Middle East, US is L04, India is L02.
Is not just the modell like L09 that says where your phone is from, is the Cust, like C432, C636, C185, then there is Branded phones like C02 is Vodafone, C55 is TIM Italy and so on....
So for your version if u are from Denmark u should have C432 the latest is B131.
Then we have China modells like AL10 and DL00, C10....
U have a thread with latest firmware here.

Yes, I have the C432 model. However my current build is: FRD-L09C432B120, and there is no update, if I check with the "Updater". The phone was shipped with version FRD-L09C432B120, so so far I haven't installed any updates...

It might be a Beta version. Wait for the bugs to get fixed and get a stable update as OTA
If you need now, you can update manually.
B150 is on the way. Major release.

[NXT-AL10] update to Nougat and EMUI 5.0

Hi guys,
I have just bought a mate 8 nxt-al10 (chinese version, unlocked) two weeks ago on Priceminister, and i've recently seen that the mate 8 received the nougat and emui 5.0 update... My friend got the same phone, but in TL00 version (chinese version too but locked for chinese carriers) and she got the update.....whereas I cannot​ get it me! In settings tray, when I tap on "check for updates", the phone return to me "no update avaible", whereas I'm sure that my friend has Android 7.0 with emui 5.0..
I live in France and I received my phone with an international rom, NXT-C900B170, already configured at the unboxing.
Can I have help to get the update please?
Thanks
toXa
C900 most likely means that your phone was crossflashed with an international firmware for the L29 variant of the phone. in this state, u wont be able to receive OTA updates, so ull either have to flash an original AL10 firmware or change your regional cust to an L29 variant.

Thx for your reply
Okay thanks... And how can I change the cust to L29 directly or AL10 (and then flash an european rom after)? Whitch is the better method?
Sent from my HUAWEI NEXT using XDA Labs
I tried to flash an AL10 firmware, the last released, via Firmware Finder, but when I try to flash it, the phone returns that the package is uncompatible.. I suppose that the last chance is to change the cust?
Sent from my HUAWEI NEXT using XDA Labs
for changing cust, u can use the so called SRK tool, you can find it in one of the mate 8 sub sections
Okay thanks
I will try it soon, I keep you informed

Hi,
I just have finished to unlock the bootloader and I have a question.. will I receive OTA updates if I flash L29 rom?
Where can I find a L29 rom? Can firmware finder do the job?
Hello friend toXaGeek

Thank you very much for your help.
Greetings.

Im in the same dish as you boss, can i install a nougat global firmware on a NXT-L29C900B156 ?

Help after downgrade FRD-L09

Hello kind people of XDA,
I recently acquired an Honor 8 L09 64gb variant, after downgrading it from N to MM following this guide my model number has changed from FRD-L09 to FRD and my build number is FRD-C675B140.
I am wondering what this means in terms of upgrades etc. Has my phone been rebranded or is it still an L09 just not showing as that in the settings.
Is it possible to upgrade it back to N, if it is how would I go about doing that? If it helps, the phone rooted with Magisk.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I used the EU rollback L09 is the EU version, isn't it? Would I still look for L09 in Firmware Finder?

Firmware Finder Oreo Update region code C10

Hi. When I open firmware finder today,i saw Mha-l29 8.0.0.360(C10) firmware and it approved installation for me. But my region code is c432. Can I install it? Do it brick my device?
MHA-L29 cihazımdan Tapatalk kullanılarak gönderildi

Even if it gets approved is it safe? I have C185

Surely, no!
How it can be safe, if you want install it without rebranding?
Huawei approved it to all, that means no imei filter.
You are using FF that points to ROMs on HiCloud instead of waiting official way. So you must be careful and know what you are doing.

When it checks by IMEI and shows that it is authorized it checks if the update was authorized by Huawei, since it is a different "brand" I wouldn't suggest installing it but the "update.zip" is pretty much the same across all regions, it is the data and hw zips that contain most of the stuff that is different for different regions, for myself I am waiting on the official c567 Oreo to hit (I'm running the beta right now), with new regions showing up on ff now every few days, it shouldn't be long till the Oreo official updates have rolled out to all the regions.
