Just trying to somehow get nougat without rooting or anything. Firmware finder shows an OTA available for L09C636B593 but I can't get it to go into updater.
This is a good question because I'm in the same boat
same to you

About the only way I've seen so far, is to load twrp, screw around with other files, load a custom rom.
Until the rom shows up via the stock updater, or, the firmware finder app shows something that says
FULL and not OTA or FullOTA, you and the rest of us are stuck until Huawei officially releases it.
It's not that bad of a deal though, 6 for me anyway is VERY stable.
I agree it's stable but one of the reasons I bought a huawei phone was they are supposed to be the first to update to new versions and here I am still waiting. I thought Samsung was bad but guess what the s7 is already on android 7 and I'm not.
I think I'll be going back to Samsung soon as the note 8 comes out.

from L09C636b210 you can update via Firmware Finder to L09C636b521. Then go to System Update and you will see L09C636b563 update available. I recommend DOWNLOAD LATEST FULL PACKAGE from the pull down menu.
The update came for me, but not through firmware finder. Mine came through the built in update program
in the phone.
Mine was L29C185B180, then I got 321 through firmware finder, but it never would update. When I saw someone
post that 560 came through, I tried firmware finder, never had anything, but when I checked the Huawei update
app and it showed up.
I uninstalled the firmware finder app. Nice idea, but didn't work for me.
Hi there
I am NXT-L29C636B193.
I have rooted or unlocked bootloader.
I have grown impatient with waiting now... I'm almost convinced Huawei won't update my device... It is still on June Patch...
I am in the UK, maybe why there has been no update...
How can I use Firmware Finder or other software to safely upgrade to Nougat without rooting? As I want to be able to use Android Pay in the future...
Firmware finder has been updated so it isn't as clear as before... Some of the updates displayed now say Full OTA but they used to say just OTA...?
Please help!
All advice is appreciated :laugh:
Some of the updates shown on Firmware Finder has changed...
Notice the two screenshot, some used to say OTA but have changed to say Full OTA?
I have a question and hope you guys know the answer. Before, my phone had latest 6.x ROM. One day, I clicked update and got the 7.x via OTA. After that, becoz of not able to root and install exposed, I flashed my phone back to 6.x. And now, I can't see the Nougat OTA in update section. Any ideas why?

Hi,
I live in Egypt and the Honor View10 is NOT officially sold here so I bought it from the hihonor UK website. I noticed that I never receive OTA updates despite trying to check for updates from time to time. When I wait for too long for OTA and it never comes, I use Firmware Finder which is NOT working nowadays for some reason & honestly I'm not a big fan of it since my phone is a flagship and relatively new so why not getting OTA updates directly from Honor?!
Chatting with Customer Service today revealed a schocking thing. I was told that I should be using the phone in Europe with an European SIM to get updates since my phone is not supported in my region!!! I told him that my phone is the international version and it was unlocked (sim free) so how come I won't be getting updates just because I'm not living in Europe?!! all he said is that he'll forward my complaint to the dev team to investigate but no promises
But is this really the case with all other brands or it's just Honor/Huawei?!
I'm here not to knock any brand down but paying around GBP 450 for a phone that will torture me just to get OTA updates is a thing that I regret now very much - especially that they have all their attention nowadays on their newer phone (the Honor 10), which is pretty much identical to the Honor View 10 but with a notch! and my phone seems like it was forgotten very quickly!.
If this issue is not resolved, I'll drop Honor/Huawei brand entirely from any future considerations! a hard move on my part because of their excellent hardware but I can't pay at least ~ USD 500 for a phone without having OTA pushed to me wherever I am in the world!!!

Well first of all this is bull**** that you need European sim to get updates
Kindly mention the version you are currently on.. Just to notify you, updates are quite slow on view 10 so it's like 1 update in about 2 months
There are ways you can debrand your phone and change it to US, Indian or China version as well getting updates shouldn't be a problem, at best use Vpn to overcome any geographic restrictions

Thanks for your answer. I'm quite sure their customer service wasn't right and my sim has nothing to do with updates as I bought it sim free in the first place. I was wondering if there's any way to convert my phone from European to US and install their Oreo 8.1 ROM with the EMUI 8.1? I obtained an unlock code from their website but I kept it aside as I'm not planning to use custom ROMs untill official suppport stops completely.
I'm currently on the BKL-L09 8.0.0.160(C432) - bootloader is locked and no root or any modification has been applied to my phone.
Android Security Patch: May 5, 2018
I know that there's the B162 update which has EIS + June security patch + some fixes for sound...etc
and there's also the B163 update with has July security patch.
I'm not interested to install VPN's for daily use as I'm not super worrying about privacy, but I installed and tried several free VPNs and configured them to any European country, but checking for updates gave nothing up till this moment I'm writing this. I'm really pissed off!

Well yes 163 is available for your device, u can always use firmware finder for update, lucky for you full ROM is present on firmware finder, not just incremental updates, u can use this
If u get any problem installing this just search for "dload" method and it will update just fine

Not everybody I know in Spain has 162 update, the OTA are rolling out in batches, perhaps with a VPN you could get the OTA in a easier way, but wait for a few days to check if OTA is available

I found many people bricked their device because this method has high chances of failure.

I will wait for the end of July and hopefully I hear something about an update showing up in Europe but I'm still very pissed off because this model has been very quickly ignored in favour of the subsequent notched model!! I have never ever seen a company release pretty much identical hardware consecutively!! [emoji80]

I used the dload method on my c675 to update from b130 to b151.. Then used the system update to go to b161
As long as the dload contains the exact ROM for your phone it will work.
Other than that use system update.
HFF is useless to my phone.. Always rejects the update from them.

I am confused myself because for each firmware version, there is ota and fullota and for each of these, there are three files and I'm not sure which one is the actual update. For example if I ignore the B163 for now because it's not approved yet, the B162 OTA for example has three files in it and I am not sure what to do with them. For example, some people say to unzip the update.zip file inside a dload folder and some people say just keep it zipped and put it on the root of internal storage so I'm confused a lot.

In the dload method you must use all 3.. But for your model
I give up on HFF... It's useless now other than downloading full ota maybe.
Let me find the link explaining the dload method... Except change the c675 to your number... On the dload method you will have a fresh device wiped off all your data.
Imho I'd wait till you get it through system... The b161 installed perfect.
I don't think HFF is official and is having problems...I deleted it as none of the files seem to work and always gets rejected.
I'll link to the form that had a detailed dload method I used and was successful with the b151.
For dload always use full ota.. With system update you can use partial.

If you want to try to force an update
Find the rom you want to upgrade to
Download the full ota.... And follow this guide

We have an update every month, perhaps aren't the update you are waiting. In September, we will receive GPU turbo update.
If you don't want unlock the bootloader the only thing you can do is wait, if you don't care about your bootloader, unlock it and look for few ways to flash an update
I'm not a honor fanboy
you Need European SIM to get official updates

That's totally ridiculous because i bought my phone Sim free and unlocked. Updates should come to me anywhere in the world as long as I'm connected!! [emoji80][emoji80][emoji80]

understand
But Huawei updates are based on regions
Only solution is manual flashing
I'm in America with a Indian phone with a American sim.... And I got c675 Indian region update in America..
Just be patient..... You'll get it.
I imported my phone from the UK and using it in Egypt which doesn't have this phone sold officially. I have complained again to the customer service today that I'm not receiving OTA updates and he insisted that I won't be having updates because I'm not using a UK sim and that's their policy so I am seeing now a contradiction between what you're saying and what I was told by the customer service!

agreed. we get updates. sometimes SIM is needed but sometime doesnt. I got bunch of updates on my 6X from China with Indian SIM. anyways, user can dload the full firmware for updating it manually.
Hello seems like my parents are having the same issue. The phones are bought from China and are BKL-AL20.
But looking in about phone it states
Modell: BKL-L09
Version: BKL-L09 8.0.0.110 (C432)
So they seem to be running on very old version. I'm pretty sure that they got OTA updates the first time they opened the phone. When I now try to update the phone says that there are no updates. C432 is Europe and my parents are in Sweden and hence using a Swedish sim-cards.
Is there anyway to get the phones updated, preferably without loosing any data or the hassle of unlocking bootloader and rooting the phones?
Edit: I tried phone updater, HiSuite updater and HiCare updater.
