How do I update firmware using TWRP - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, after some close calls in the recent past which included bricking my phone during an update, I am quite hesitant to do any updates. However, I have a message saying that there is an update ready on my us mate 9 my current firmware version is MHA-L29 8.0.0.367(C567) and the new version is MHA-L29 8.0.0.374(C567) . I tried to do the update using the OTA app but it ends up booting in TWRP. My question is, is there a version of this firmware that can be installed using TWRP? I also do not want to lose my unlocked bootloader in the process. Please see the picture attached. I looked at some of the similar threads but cannot find a satisfactory answer.
Thanks

I have not updated. As I mentioned I am rooted and unlocked. Not sure what to do hence posted my question in the forum.

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's
I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

Ok, you can go here and update to the latest version v10j using @GameTheory. V10j Full update/pre-rooted/untouch TWRP.

dummy you can't update that way you must remove all traces of root which the app can't do use the KDZ
If you are rooted and it says system update DO NOT INSTALL IT... it will brick your phone

Old firmware?

Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

Ah thanks both. I've just had a look at that site and firmware finder. As there doesn't seem to be an OTA update heading my way I might give firmware finder a bash. Many thanks.

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build
I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.
Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]
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?

EMUI 9 Stable is now available for M5

As the tiltle said, ive seen the 9.0.155 firmware for all M5 Devices, which means that it might take max. 1 month to be downloaded from ota.
See the screenshot below in the attachment
Update 1: the chinese firmware which is C00 might get merged with the other regions firmware, which means that we might get the advantages of the chinese Firmware (e.g. online themes in theme app, .......)
By the way, this update does support Full screen gestures, i saw it after unpacking the firmware
Note: if you want to flash the firmware using flashy, DONT AND NEVER EVER using eRecovery to downgrade as this will COMPLETELY destroying your device, just do not downgrade for now
Update: EMUI 9 is officially start rolling out, some people already received it through HiCare app, All credits go to @sz.hatef's for this announcement.
Woww great news!! Thanks for sharing!!
Not showing up on my SHT-W09C567. Still waiting for 8.0.0.196 to be approved.
When EMUI 9 is released should we be able to root in the usual fashion?

It is under the c432 firmware which means that it is for European countries, maybe it is still under development, but after unzip the files it shows that it is a base firmware

It will not work as it is going to failed by checking the package process
Flashed it via beta flashy. The proces aborted just before finishing. Nevertheless, I've got Pie up and running on my CMR-W09C432. Rooting via Magisk doesn't work.

Did you try rooting using the info I provided in response #8?
Sure, I did. Maybe I'll try the Magisk Beta branch tomorrow..
If I have an unlocked Bootloader and want to keep it (I am on PHHH-Treble, vendor says 8.0.0.161, C423) that way, but update the vendor, is this Update the way to go?
So unpack, patch ramdisk and flash all the necessary files?
Thanks for any help! (there may stand experienced user at the left, however, I'd say, most posts were in a uite noobish state, so that I advanced into this rank without too much progress )

Due to the crash while flashing, I wouldn't recommend flashing the build at all. Besides, my bootloader stayed unlocked, so updating the vendor should be possible, eventhough I don't see the reason for it? Do you want to flash Pie based GSIs?
Yeah, Pie-based GSI are on the horizon ... can only get one or two to boot (phh and I think Havoc).
Edit: I do not want to lose rot, so I'll have to wait a little longer
Is there anyone who got emui 9 official update? I see it on firmware finder and. 195 build is approved but i didn't get it. Even dns change method doesn't work.

Can you please share a video how the full screen gestures look like?
BTW this crash while rebooting after flashing emui 9 on m5 will cause a HUGE problem if you want to downgrade using eRecovery as it happend once to me, i had to send it to huawei service, this problem will not even let you enter fastboot and you can not even unbrick your device using the chinese version of hisuite, so be careful and try not to enter eRecovery at all, (the crash is because there flashy do flash an only p20 pro FSD (firmware package check disable) and it is not for M5 so the abort will be caused while flashing the xloader (huaweis bootloader)

If your device is rooted or if you have TWRP installed, you can't apply the update via OTA
If you want to update via OTA, you will have to unroot your device and undo any changes that you made to the system partition and you will have to replace TWRP with a copy of your stock recovery. Then you can apply the update. You will have to root and install TWRP again after the update is applied.
Or, you can manually download the update from the internet and then use a PC to manually flash via your device's compatible flashtool or via fastboot(whichever is intended to flash firmware on your device).

Good Morning Everyone,
@Droidriven, thanks for your kind response, but I did what you suggest, re-install Nougat Rom from Htc official link deliberately did not root it at first, click on the OTA & yet, got same complain.
I even tried 2.41.401.41--3.16.401.2_S-On_firmware.zip with it but doesn't still work.
But from my research, this is what I found out that works..
* The Phone (HTC 10) is Hong Kong Unlocked Version with build number 2.41.401.4, [email protected] as its base band.
the ROM that will work must share same details with the one provided above.
Anyone that has Oreo 8.0 (2.41.401.4) Update in RUU file format, should Please kindly share its download link with me, I regret the inconveniences, thanks in advance.
