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

I had been searching for a way to update my EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to EMUI 5.0. During the previous month I tried to install EVA-L09C636B361 firmware via either dload and Huawei Updater, but such means of direct installation never worked out.
Now the problem is solved, and the solution is quite simple, though a little bit unexpected: using Huawei Updater to install EVA-L19C636B190 before installing EVA-L09's own B361 firmware. I mean, it is interesting that we have to "borrow" the B190 firmware from the Dual SIM L19 model in order to update to EMUI 5.
(I'm not the first person to find the solution. I just found out that in a Taiwanese forum a tutorial is already posted. )
So there are two steps to install B361:
1.
Install EVA-L19C636B190 via Huawei Updater
Use Custom ROM URL
Copy and paste the link to EVA-L19C636B190:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1079/g104/v64578/f1/
Use the HiSuite on PC to finish the installation of B190 (Set its proxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 41279)
2.
Repeat the previous process, but this time, replace the link with the one to EVA-L09C636B361:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73928/f1/
Again, use the HiSuite to finish the installation of B361
Note that the C636B190 version firmware for L19 model does run on L09 without the support of the L09-exclusive NFC. I think there should be a thread discussing this. Anyways, before official update comes out, the two steps above seem to be the only way to install EMUI 5 on the Asia-Pacific EVA-L09C636 version without losing data.
That is interesting, I dont have a C636 but I would assume just doing step 2 without the need to flash a L19B636 would do the trick.

I was searching for this for months. I bought my p9 EVA-L09C636 in the US (I'm european) and I never had the chance to update, even at 4.1.1. I went crazy because I tried several times to unlock the bootloader first, installing twrp and flashing updates but with no success. It's unbelievable that I need to fake the version with huawei updater to obtain the updates for my phone. Now I've Nougat, without factory reset, with everything working, from nfc to all stock apps and services. Thank you very much

Well, in that case it keeps failing at 1%. I saw some previous posts talking about this as well.
Need Help
My model is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
I tried to update like this, it's started updating and got an error while updating then phone rebooted with new update,
but there's lot of errors,
Built Number displays as - NRD90M test-keys
Updater missing in settings
Camera missing
Flash Light not working
Clock missing
File Manger missing
and few more default huawei apps missing.
How do I fix it or downgrade to previous version back?
Thanks finally I was able to update my P9 to Nougat using this steps. The only difference is that there is a EVA-L09C636B190 available now so i didnt have to use the version for any other cell, I was afraid to do it. So following this steps i was able to upgrade from 168 to 190 and finally to 361 version.
My Phone is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
Even though my phone is L09 I've flashed L19 by following the steps on this thread -
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l09c636b521-official-firmware-guide-t3544729/)
2016.12.29 - EVA-L19C636 - EVA-L19C636B361
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1583/g104/v74666/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...ll/hw/spcseas/update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip
it's still NRD90M test-keys. but i'm cool with it.
Works on AL00 as well?
I was wondering if I can get the most current european rom on my AL00 with that method as well?
Holy cow thank you for this tutorial.
I spent six hours following every tutorial I could find on the web and my P9 staunchly refused to install ANY update from the very next one after the one it came with all the way up to the latest!
After hours and hours of trying this method is the one that worked.
Edit: This firmware is a developer build.
There have been several updates installed since it was released.
After you this firmware it you should immediately install Huawei Firmware Finder from the Play Store and install the latest full OTA.
The developer build changes the device ID of your phone so you have to manually add the model of your phone in Firmware Finder as:
EVA-L19C636
Otherwise Firmware Finder would tell you there are no firmwares available for your model.
If you can't install the latest OTA immediately after installing this firmware, first install the next one available (38 if I recall correctly) then install the latest OTA -- 38 will say it failed to install but it actually installs just fine, then install the latest full OTA.
That will give you all the bug fixes and the security patches from Google.
Also note that this firmware works on both the dual sim and single sim models (it's built for the single sim but my device is dual sim and the sim configuration in settings works).

The build number is normal.
As for the disappearing apps, it sounds like you have faulty flash storage.
That will cause files and apps to randomly disappear.

You can try this app to get the new firmwares for your phone model.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder
Since you are on EMUI4.0. Update to 4.1 B3XX or which ever next version is applicable for your phone model. Then you will get the system update to nougat immediately.
For example. I was on L29C432B180. I didn't get the nougat update then and I didn't get any update for 4.1 either. Once I updated it to L29C432B190 THEN I got the system update to B560.
Similarly for you, update to EMUI 4.1 using dload method first. Then switch on the wifi and see if you are able to get the system update to B563 or whichever version is applicable for your model.
So you can use firmware finder to download the EMUI4.1 version from the list you have. Download the full package. It is always better. After download, check the md5, unpack it , then push it to dload folder - > all these options are available in firmware finder app. once you are done with all these steps. Switch off the phone - > press volume + , Volume - and Power button at the same time. It will start updating.
Once that is done you are in EMUI4.1. Now switch on the wifi -you should get the system update to nougat.
Check this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/l29-c636b563-ota-firmware-finder-t3563403
Try and see if this works for you. Hope you found this information useful. :good::good::good::good:
Hi
I also bought my Mate 8 last week. I am also in Australia. I have just updated it to 7.0 minutes ago.
Go to settings/update
click on menu
then download latest package.
It downloaded L09C636B211 for me. update to that version.
After rebooting I went to check update again and L09C636B563 was available.
buggy
My phone did an OTA update to nougat build B563 last week and I've had nothing but problems.
Random volume drops, sound may as well be off. Miss calls & notifications. Only a reboot fixes the volume.
Also it seems .M4A files are no longer supported?
The music app will play them but no sound.
The Chinese variants are up to build 573 or higher.
I think an update/fix might be a long way off?
Hi Guys,
Just today i got a very good deal on P20 Pro in a pristine quality, so i took the plunge.
The device is still in EMUI 8 (oreo). So, i wanted to update it to Android 10.
So, I downloaded "Firmware Finder for Huawei", but i am getting a warning EMUI version is not supported.
Can u guys help me out here.
Cheers!!!

Install Huawei HiSuite on your pc and connect phone with your usb cable.. hit update and it should update your phone.. I think it may do it incrementally.. so 9.0 then 9.1 and finally 10.0.. You will see...
Look at this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/emui-10-hisuite-proxy-t4109035
If you need any informations I can help.
Yeah.. was able to figure it out.. and am currently in 9.1 using the HiSuite via PC. Is Android 10 update worth it? If so, i will do it manually via firmware finder method.

Yes, it's a pure refresh from 9.1 (a crappy port of Android 9.1)
The firmware finder way is not working anymore. You can use the app to get the links. Nothing more.
You need Hisuite Proxy and Hisuite.
See my posts and everything.
After sometime, again i got few more updates,, and i am currently downloading Android 10 again.. So atleast it wil be with latest security patches.. lets see how it goes..
Btw, i saw a GSI image of Android 10 for P20 Pro. any one uses it here?

You can't use it unless you unlock your bootloader, which Huawei stopped doing. They then proceeded to remove the method used to unlock the device in Android 10.
Yeah.. i just found out.. its so sad.. its such a beautiful device,, unlocking would have let me use it for a long time now..
Hi there, I have recently managed to get Google services installed on my ELS-NX9 (C432) and during my eagerness of updating to the most updated and compatible firmware (according to Firmware Finder) I updated the phone to the 10.1.0.182 (C432E8R4P1) version. I have to say the phone still works fine and have no issues whatsoever (apart from a few freezes when if using Google chrome which all I need to do is to go back to the home page and return to the app to unfreeze it. Annoying when it happens but not the end of the world).
With that being said, I have run safetynet and it shows a fail under cts profile match which leads me to think the firmware I've used is not 100% intended for my device (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Do you know which firmware is the most updated and 100% compatible firmware I should use for my device?
Thank you in advance.
hi
i used in hiproxy: http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G5633/g1604/v409481/f1/ (ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.131)
used ictfix solution 1 to install GMS
after a i downgraded and waited a few minutes i got an OTA update to 10.1.0.176 and after that i got a OTA for 11.0.0.151 (C432E3R4P3)
so far everything seems ok. hope this helps u
Update 26.01.2021: i have received a new update 11.0.0.168 december update
I have ELS-NX9 11.0.0.230 (C432) 1st October 2021 Security patch.
Should I be on a later version? I hear December patch is out with 11.0.0.246.
I have checked updates and HiSuite. No updates.
Thank you.
i Have 11.0.0.249
12.0.0.218(C432E3R5P2)
EMUI 12.0.0
i have 11.0.0.259 (C10E1R3P3) (Russia, EMUI 11.0.0)
im also stucked on .230, cant update to 260 or emui 12
Try using SIM cards from various networks. Swapping the SIM card worked for me. Also, use My Huawei app to check for the update.
i tried diff sim and still nothing

Also ELS-NX9 C432 stuck on EMUI 11 .230 update. I've tried a few different SIM networks, no dice. I know some other people received EMUI 12 almost 2 weeks ago in my country. I don't understand why there's a large delay between devices of the same model. A small delay to spread the server load sure, but this?
yea, emui 12 came to my country weeks ago too
I just received EMUI 11 .260, the last update before EMUI 12. Finally some progress.
After that if no Emui12 on HiSuite, OTA or My Huawei app, search in erecovery (wifi).
i got both today, soon i installed .260 i got emui 12
I also got EMUI 12 now, but had to search in the My Huawei app instead. Normal update search gave nothing.
is jan/feb security patch available for p40 pro, or any update after 12.0.0.218
