Update for l29C185Bxx

Hi all
I currently have the NXT-L29C185B162 firmware, which is specific to devices in the African region. I found at Carbontesla the firmware NXT-L29C432B170 which supposedly addresses the push notifications issue but the C432 firmware is meant for European models as far as I understand.
Would it be possible/safe to update with this firmware, or is there an equivalent update for African devices?
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find ANY firmware on Huawei's site for this device so its hard to know what I should be using...

NaoNative, you're a champ! Thanks mate
You wouldn't happen to know where I might find a changelog would you? I know Huawei is not exactly well known for making those public, but I'm just curious what else might have changed since B162...

This update is for system version EMUI 4.1. EMUI 4.1 optimizes the camera, battery management, and Phone Manager, and adds multi-user mode, to provide a secure and unique experience for you
[Highlights]
[Camera]
Optimized the interactive gestures, enabling you to swipe left and right to switch between the mode and settings screens
[Multi-user mode]
Added a mode, which allows multiple users to access the same app with segregated personal data and privacy protection
[Smart manager]
Added the Huawei-developed ROG power saving technology for the first time, which decreases the screen resolution to save battery power Optimized the Phone Manager, which helps you manage your device more easily and conveniently Optimized battery management, which allows you to check the battery power and battery power consumption for any period within two days Optimized traffic management to automatically add the traffic leftover from the previous month to the current month
[Home screen]
Optimized the Weather app so that it can forecast weather for each hour including the probability of rainfall Added an entry for third-party social networking apps, such as WhatsApp, eSpace, and Skype, in the contact details screen
[Communications]
Optimized the networking speed when international roaming is on Optimized the registration time when the network connection is interrupted for environmental reasons
[Update notes]
1. If some third-party apps are incompatible with EMUI 4.1, update them to their latest versions from Google Play Store 2. Your home screen layout may be rearranged slightly 3. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating. If you experience any issues during the update, please call the customer service hotline for support 4. If you are not satisfied with the new update, you can roll back to EMUI 4.0. Your personal data will be erased during the rollback. For details, please call the customer service hotline

...and thats only the changelog coming from B180

Very nice man, I noticed a few of those after upgrading, also noticed some slight changes to the UI animations and the pop sound for volume adjustments has changed (better in my opinion)
Pity the multiuser mode doesn't work if you have SD card as default storage...
Otherwise, I like what I see so far. Did in-place upgrade using the phone dialer method for local update, so it kept all my stuff. Gonna attempt root tomorrow, will see how that goes

Can I download the firmware through my phone and update it just like that or do I have to download it on a laptop first?

Either method would work, I used my laptop as my internet connection had been a bit dodgey so used a download manager. The file has to be stored in the root of either your internal memory or on your SD card in a folder named "dload"
You can then either do the 3 button reset (this wipes your data so make sure you have backup 1st) or you can do local upgrade (this retains your data but do a backup 1st just in case,) but that's no longer an option in the settings menu, there's a code you have to dial to bring it up. Found it somewhere around here before but can't remember it now...
Edit: code to be entered in the phone dialler is *#*#2846579#*#*
Option 4 to to update

So I finally got around to attempting root, flashed the B320 in twrp and SuperSU after, it rooted successfully but problem is now I got no Huawei Swype, no options for setting the lock screen style, and I noticed the Huawei backup app was missing (at least it's on play store though so I could restore my backup).
Anyone know where I went wrong as those things were definitely there before?
Note somewhere along the lines I did flash a decrypted boot.IMG but I don't know if flashing the rom in twrp would overwrite that or not, or even if it causes what I'm experiencing

2- I did not activate the finger print option untill now. I can not see any use except may b for security reasons if i loose the mobile. Does it have any other use ?
I heard it closses tha app I am using, but does this like exting with the back button, or it really close tha app, so it does not eat ou the RAM and the battery .
Thanks in advance.

Upgrading BLN-L21C185XXX to android N BLN-L21C185B342

Hello guys, I am writing a tutorial for first time so please don't mind any mistakes
so let's get started
1.first of all please don't use this same method to update any other Huawei devices, this guide is only for BLN-L21C185B131 or any build with BLN-L21C185xxxx
please note that even if you succeed to update and use Android N on other builds you will still encounter a lot of bugs and problems like missing features, no file manager,system update option and many more...
2.Please take a complete backup of your data, the update may don't erase the personal data but still I think you wouldn't like to risk your data, I lost my data during flashing other firmware updates
**** 3.download the Huawei firmware finder and firmware proxy finder from playstore
**** 4.open the firmware finder and chose model BLN-L21C185 (note:you can check for build number in settings>about phone)
(Note: select first four options in Huawei firmware finder app settings)
*** 5.Now take this step very carefully otherwise you may encounter various problems, chose the update BLN-L21C185B342 which is in size almost 2.05 GB , for this purpose you need to use a Wi-Fi connection
*** 6. Now firmware finder will open firmware proxy finder which you have downloaded and follow on-screen instructions to configure Wi-Fi
*** 7.Now select send update to updater or firmware update to updater/system updater
7.1 go to system update in phone settings and check for update
*** 8. Wait for it to be downloaded and let the phone install it, Please be patient and don't do anything stupid
*** 9. you will get EMUI 5 with Android N after some time..
If you want to ask anything feel free to ask me thousands of time... Update is working like a charm ... everything is working fine without any issue
Now the bugs/features I didn't liked in this update are
1.Missing App twin and some other features like that which are clearly mentioned in official website of EMUI
2.We can still open the notification panel from the lock screen even when the screen is secured with password/finger print/pin/pattern
so these were the cons of this update which I think will be removed in final release
if you're comfortable with that cons then go ahead and update Good luck

I can't install the update BLN-L21C185B385
I am using BLN-L21C185B361
Please help...

[GUIDE] Get Android 8.1 Oreo On the Nokia 7 plus (TA-1046) if you still don't have it

Hello guys.
I received my Nokia 7 Plus a few weeks ago and I’m very happy with it. I was excited for the Android One certification, which allows to have the Android updates as fast as possible.
Unfortunately, the phone I bought didn’t find any updates. I was stuck on the Android 8.0 version with Feb. security patches. I knew that Android 8.1 version was out, with June security patches.
After many research, it appears that the carrier you use is blocking updates. In my case that was EE (UK operator) and Bouygues Telecom (French carrier).
The phone seems to be “stuck” in the carrier’s updates channel.
So, in this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to get the latest version of the phone’s system. This tutorial will also allow you to be on the “right” channel for fast updates and opt out of your carrier’s channel (which doesn’t allow you to get the updates as quick as you can.)
The zip file is the latest version of Android Oreo, made for the Nokia 7 plus. Usually it’s used to restore the phone from Android P DP.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The zip file is made for a clean installation. So, remember that the phone is going to be wiped, and you will lose anything that’s on it.
You will need
• Nokia 7 plus, model TA-1046, charged at roughly 75%.
• A working computer.
• The file
• USB cable
• A brain.
DOWNLOAD THE FILE :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=10O9OmUm5H8OmKlbOi8AeRupUycqAkp5G (Google Drive)
http://filecloud.io/j20w1rsx7 (Filecloud.io)
http://dl.free.fr/getfile.pl?file=/YIuSIcJk (dl.free.fr)
http://turbobit.net/91r03d5rsiey.html (turbobit.net)
https://uptobox.com/klk9zta4vegl (Uptobox)
1. Download the ZIP file on your computer and transfer it in the root storage of your phone.
2. Disconnect safely your phone from the computer.
3. Open the notifications area of your phone. You should see an OTA update notification.
If you don’t see it, reboot your phone.
4. Click on this OTA notification.
5. Accept the terms and conditions and start the update. It’s better to have the phone plugged to a power socket, if you can.
6. Wait until the completion of the update. It could take a while, so be patient.
7. Let the phone reboot...
8. Go in the settings, and search for updates again. If there’s an update, do it!
Finished! Now, you will have the latest updates, as quick as possible.

This doesn't for me.

How to install emui 8.0

I've read on internet that is possible to install EMUI 8.0 on Huawei P9 through the use of HiCare (but in my phone doesn't work).
This is the step:
Launch the HiCare app. You will be notified to set a location or region.
Set the location to China or Chinese.
The selection is mostly right above Hong Kong option.
Now provide proper permissions.
HiCare app detects your location automatically.
When prompted, do not change the location back to your own country.
Once setup, go to HiCare main page. Let it download necessary content for your device.
Once done, you will be get a new firmware update.
Most likely the latest Android 8.0 Oreo.
Anyone know if it's possible to do?

Never seen or heard that changing location for HiCare makes it possible to change the cust (AFAIK, changing location in HiCare is about getting local support, customizing Gallery App and its content, and about HiCloud).
Changing cust for firmwares requires to have unlocked Bootloader and to flash/change the oeminfo.
Besides, even when you make it and upgrade to Chinese Oreo, mobile connection will not work without flashing the needed network patch.
So forget doubtful YT and who-knows-where Internet 'guides', here on XDA you have a thread (with large and active community) devoted to rebranding to the Chinese Oreo AL10c00b540, with instructions and resources how to fix the modem (network patch), Magisk/rooting, and even to add Face Unlock (that does not come with stock Chinese Oreo)

I'm not talking about HiCloud but I'm talking about HiCare. It's two different software, but I doubt that this method works.

I wrote above that changing location through HiXXXX apps affect what you get through those apps (and IMO, you don't change location separate per each HiXXXX app, but once for all), but that all that has absolutely nothing with changing cust for firmware.
And I know very well what is HiCloud and HiCare....
However, HWOTA7 method as here on XDA (link in the previous answer) does work
PS: If you take time and read OP insrructions in that thread, you will see that rebranding is not that 'easy' as it would be by declaring your Hong Kong residency. Even when you change cust and download and install the Chinese Oreo firmware, you still need some adaptations (network patch) to get it work on the mobile networks outside of China
Writing you all this from such a rebranded P9 with the Chinese Oreo, hence knowing very well about the matter

You must have done something wrong.
The method worked for everybody else, many, many people from elsewhere, both on L09 and L19, and starting from different cXXX ( just look into the thread how many participants)
If you still want to do it, better describe what did you do (by points in its OP post #2) and by which point it 'fails' for you.
And it would be more effective to post for such help in the thread, there will be better chance to get an accurate answer

not working in iran
Thank you for information but this method is not working on Iran.
after change location and try to download wrote your system is up to date but my android is 7 not 8.

Method does not depend pn your location.
You must only have access to Internet to download all files you will need, as precisely described:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2
If you don't receive OTA Patch02, just skip, it's not crucial.
Everything else you download and install by yourself, hence you cannot be blocked by Huawei by your loxation.
However, you will need to download about 2,5 GB or so of files

Yes. But verify first regarding the regional version installed on your phone. I have C432 and I can downgrade. Some Cxxx s are not so easy to downgrade ( no firmware available to downgrade, EX:C605).

Ok some things have to be cleared first.
1. So far we were downgrading to 10.1.0.176 and then with dload method to 10.1.0.121
Now in this video the EMUI11-> 10 we are lowering the version to 10.1.0.131
Why xx.131, why not xx.121?
2. The preload R number
I have 2 identical P40pro, both from Germany C432 - I guess they have/ had the same region.
The First one was googlified in July with dload method. ROM in dload 10.1.0.121 there was R5. I am not sure which ROM was on the phone before downgrade, and now the R number on phone is R5
The Second P40pro is still clean - the Preload is R4
Is it safe to install the R5 version of 131 to the R4 device?
I am thinking, if dload was R5 and was patched it over R4 and phone is still functional ( OTA is working on first one without any problems)

1. On both firmware 121 and 131 you can install GMS. It is up to you. I prefer 121.
2. If I have available the 10 preload file with the same R as my 11 preload installed on the phone, I will choose it.

This won't work if you have EVER went to above version 11.0.0.170+. If you try to do it anyway, you will NOT have USb connectivity after the downgrade to EMUI10.1.0.176 and you will have no method to dload to 10.1.0.121, 131 or whatever.
Your only option will be to go back to latest EMUI 11 version via OTA and start all over again.
If you really want to downgrade to EMUI 10, then go directly to EMUI 10.1.0.121 by Hisuiteproxy. But it seems unneccessary since you already had GMS installed. YOu have a good chance of getting it to work again even if you have uninstalled some of the apps.

It doesn't matter. There are three software components (base,preload and cust) that need to match, they go hand in hand. Preload is interchangeable within some limits (they have to be close by date to be suitable for that specific software version).
He probably just found a different working combination.
pixi86 said:
Why xx.131, why not xx.121?
Click to expand...

Because that is what he found. It's fine. You can use either but you need all a working preload and cust too. Don't mix those up from the other version. For 10.1.0.121 you need a preload and cust that works for 10.1.0.121.
For 10.1.0.131 you need those that work for 10.1.0.131.

Yes, that is a western+central European region code. It is the best because there are firmwares available for it and it works for so many countries.

Yes it is safe to interchange the preload (which can be R4, R5, R6) as it only differs in the preinstalled bonus apps. Doesn't matter because sometimes it differs already within a stock too it seems. But all the others details MUST match.

Well if this is the only thing that will be different then yes, it will be functional and OTA will work too.
However you should go directly to EMUI 10.1.0.121 or 131 because you won't have USB connectivity if you downgrade from above EMUI 11.0.0.170. And you need to go back to the latest version as soon as possible to restore USB.

Your only option will be to go back to latest EMUI 11 version via OTA and start all over again.
If you really want to downgrade to EMUI 10, then go directly to EMUI 10.1.0.121 by Hisuiteproxy. But it seems unneccessary since you already had GMS installed. YOu have a good chance of getting it to work again even if you have uninstalled some of the apps.
It doesn't matter. There are three software components (base,preload and cust) that need to match, they go hand in hand. Preload is interchangeable within some limits (they have to be close by date to be suitable for that specific software version).
He probably just found a different working combination.
Because that is what he found. It's fine. You can use either but you need all a working preload and cust too. Don't mix those up from the other version. For 10.1.0.121 you need a preload and cust that works for 10.1.0.121.
For 10.1.0.131 you need those that work for 10.1.0.131.
Correct,it means preload.
Yes, that is a western+central European region code. It is the best because there are firmwares available for it and it works for so many countries.
It is fine. Preload doesn't matter if it is suitable for given version. It can be R4, R5 or R6.
I have R4 too. You can stay on R4 if you want to as here is the hisuiteproxy combination for that. My phone is just like yours: https://i.kek.sh/yF7jZG9usVs.png
Yes it is safe to interchange the preload (which can be R4, R5, R6) as it only differs in the preinstalled bonus apps. Doesn't matter because sometimes it differs already within a stock too it seems. But all the others details MUST match.
That is okay.
That is also okay.
Well if this is the only thing that will be different then yes, it will be functional and OTA will work too.
However you should go directly to EMUI 10.1.0.121 or 131 because you won't have USB connectivity if you downgrade from above EMUI 11.0.0.170. And you need to go back to the latest version as soon as possible to restore USB.

IMPORTANT: After the Googlifier Turn OFF the automatic update in Play Store
Version on my phone which do not require additional and other fixes
Play Store app: 27.7.15-21 [ 0 ] [ PR ] 405437458
Google Play Services: 21.3.18 ( 120400-407637301 )
Got the Fast charging over the OTA already at 10.1.0.151. Now I am on the 11.0.0.208.
Fully works: Google Search, Google Assistant, Maps, Gmail, PlayStore, Translate, Drive, Fit, Home, Android Auto..

When someone needs the GPay ( if you already have the account from other phone or web):
- instal the last Android Pay (version 9) from APKMirror. Set the account there. Upgrade to Gpay. Done. No more stupid splash screen that device is not certified.

Yes it is working on my setup. Used it on FORD Focus system.

It's an old device right now and it shouldn't be considered in 2021, even if's looking good on paper. It was nice to have it on mate 40 pro, but it looks like it's impossible to install gms directly into the phone

Hello, do you think is not a good choice buy this device right now?
I have a good opportunity to buy this device as a good price.
The GMS is working on the last firmware?
Thanks in advance.

Last firmware is the worst firmware. It is better to have lower firmware version.
Post here the full version of EMUi (region Cxxx included), and I can make you a suggestion.
Should be 11.0.0.xxx or 10.1.0. xxx , Cxxx

With the previous firmware (What is the version?) everything is working fine?
I'm with some doubt's to buy this device because of GMS.

Ask the seller about version. Post it here. We can talk after that. Read again my previous answer ( I changed it). Told him to not upgrade the EMUI.
