Hi, my mom has mate 8 and we want to hard-format and update it. HUAWEI NXT-L29 model number, L29C636B180 and emui 4.0 android 6.0 . I realized that its quite old but its not receiving any updates.
How can I update it to the latest official version ?
I tried firmware finder with auto dns but it gave an error (missing update files or sth like that). I realized that it was not the same size in app and in updater.
In app it says 2.5 GB but in downloader it was 1.36 GB even ı clicked download the latest full package thing.
Please help
Please check the firmware access first then push it.

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.
Hi, 10 days ago my sister got her Honor 8 (FRD-AL00) china version, she didn't when she ordered it, Stuck after trying to apply a OTA update...
She going to a Huawei center at Paris and they can't help because is a china version ! So I found a lot of people who got the same problem (with china version or not) and it very not serious from Honor to got this king of critical problem.
So I try the RollBack method to Marshmallow and after 30 attempts it still was not sucessfull, I can't rollBack. So I tried to flash with a chinese ROM and after hours searching I found a Chinese STOCK "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV". I installed it with the SD card and dload directory and YES, the phone is work again yeah !
BUT now when I go to phone informations I got this :
Model number : FRD-L19
Build number : NRD90M test-keys
EMUI Version : 5.0
Android Version : 7.0
How it was possible to my phone become a L19 version (EU) after flashing with a China ROM ? And le build number seem to be a test version while a seem used "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV" ??
- My sister live in France so do exist any way to install an EU Rom to get futur OTA update ?
- How can I found a really lastest Chinese Stock rom ?
- Can I and how to make a reset factory / recovery to get back the original ROM version if it still possible ?
Thx

the Link for downgrade don't work, is it the article who tell to download "Honor 8 Rollback Package For NEM-L22" to make the roll Back ?
If is this, I already try maybe 30 time to rollBack.... when the installation is ending, I reboot to a black screen asking downloading the last firmware.... If the rollBack Work I must be return to a normal OS screen ?
You got a chinese Phone too (FRD-AL00) ?

You can rebrand your honor 8 to indian variant..
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 downgraded my p40 pro firmware to 131 and then installed GMS using googlefier. Everything is working as expected apart from when I search for firmware updates within both the settings menu of the phone and also the latest version of hisuite, its telling me 10.1.0.131 is up to date and the latest firmware version. Should I just leave it on 131 or should I update the firmware via another method?
Oh Ive just seen this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/update-issues-after-downgrade.4182407/#post-84014451, but even the latest version of hisuite on my laptop is telling me I have the most up to date firmware version. I thought it only stopped the OTA updates.
Try to get HiSuite 10.0.0.550 and upgrade with proxy method, if can't get a normal upgrade.
That means to use Firmware finder ... search about that.
Hi guys
I wanted to update the phone to Android 10, but seems like officially there is no such update for this model (MAR-LX1M EEA C431)
However, on FF, i spotted an update to the EMUI 10 but it's for the C432 despite the build model name it's the same I got (L21MEA). So my question is: It's possible to install it without any risk of brick? And also, Should I make a backup of the oeminfo?
Btw my phone it's full stock so no unlocked bootloader or root whatsoever
Open app 'Support' and in there click 'Updates'
There is no Update thing in the support section oh myHuawei
Also even if I check Hisuite and the software update it says the phone is at the latest update (9.1.0.426)
