Hi all, I have downgraded my p40 pro to 131 to get google apps working. Then tried auto updates and it tells me that there is an update but same version 131, updated to 131 using auto update but it still keeps telling me that I'm on 131 and same version of update available. Connected to PC and use Hisuite and same story, tells me 131 update available (which I already have) and nothing else. Was able to update to 154 using proxy but now same story, it keeps telling me that 154 update available which I did auto update but I still get notification that I there is new update to 154. I cleared data and cache both for Huawei Core and Update app but still same story.
Please help!?!
You will need to use Hisuit Proxi & firmware finder to get more upto date firmware.

hi, should I update it using FullOTA-MF or OTA-MF only? thanks
Select Full, and use the check availability option to make sure its an approved for install as well, else it will fail.

thanks, another question is, will it wipe off the phone?
When I did mine, No. But remove or backup any personal stuff off your memory card if you have one, just in case. Note if you've done the GMS install, make sure you log into All you're accounts, ie YouTube etc first before upgrading firmware. Cause you won't be able to add later.

Update: Ok found it, it is via the advance button and paste the link there to check if it's approved or not.
Is this done via the HiSuit Proxy Advance button? how can i check if it's approved or not?
Use firmware finder to check it's an approved version.
Hi im having the same problem. I tried to manually update to version 10.1.0.161 after installing gms from 121. Still cant get OTA. Its been 2 weeks.

Hmmm we are all on C636. No idea what went wrong. Only difference is 4RP1 and 5RP1. Any difference in those?
Same situation here, I downgrade to version 131 o install GSM and now the phone won't update.
I had to update it using HiSuite and now I'm on 183 version.
Hope there is a way to fix the OTA updates on the phone.
getting regular updates after installing GMS via googlefier
Doing some research I have found what is happening:
On your P40 Pro, in the "About phone" screen you can see the build number and then a number between ( ), example: Build number 10.1.0.131 (C636E8R5P1)
The number after the C will tell you the version or region of your firmware, in the example C636 = version/region 636
When you downgrade using a different version/region you will loose the OTA updates on the phone, and this will only be restored after you install your correct version/region firmware.
You will need to find the correct version of your firmware and have the "dload" version, and install it from external card. There is a video showing how to do this, but the link on the video is for a version/region 636, if you have a different version/region it won't fix anything.
Once you have the correct firmware and install it, you will begin receiving OTA again. This process, at least on my phone, erased everything, so be aware of this.

If c636 is version/region then what e8r5p1 is?
any ideas on how to update to the latest version manually without losing data? when i check for update it says im on latest, but im on .121!
My version is .176 c432 want to install gms so I still need to downgrade to .131 first? Also I saw most people are c636 what region is mine?

Hi there
I am still on build NXT - L29C636B193 with June secuirity patch.
I have the dual SIM L29 4gb gold variant. I am in the UK.
Still waiting for Nougat. From reading around it seems that almost everyone has already recieved the official OTA...
I have also seen people manually flashing the OTA but I am worried I may lose my warranty and make certain apps like Android Pay unavailable.
All advice is appreciated
Thanks:laugh:
If you want to have warranty, stay at stock.
There is a major difference between nougat and mm (in look and performance for me). I dont need my warranty because - 1) ive bought it in china , 2) what does warranty cover? if i crash screen - warranty is worthless, if i crash software - i can fix it by myself - so its useless...
I ve swaped soft for european L29C432B320 from DL-00 and i dont care about OTA or some****.
Just flashed, rooted and using as always. For me root is necessary, so warratny is useless anyway.
The only thing is that if something bricks your phone like e.g. melting in pocket (vide SGS Note7 ) there is nothing you can do...
So - for me - just manually flashed nougat and root it and its ok.

Because I want to know if my imported Huawei Mate 8 will receive an official OTA from Huawei...
Thanks
I receive the Ota only to the converted C432.
On original C636 no Ota Updates
Can I load the latest update onto the device so that the system update menu will recognise the update?
Maybe use dload or somrthing?
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi there
When I contacted the European chat helper in the Hi care app, they said that my model the NXT - L29 will not get OTA updates while i am not in Southeast Asia?
I don't know if this true as it sounds bizarre, most devices are still updated when not in their home land.
What model number is yours?
Thanks
checksum error
Hi there,
the update appears and it starts to download, but most of the time, I get a checksum error. Only 2 times (out of perhaps 8 downloads) it downloaded properly, so far. The device restarted and got stuck at the "Your device got unlocked and can't be trusted." and "The device is now booting" prompt. I let it rest for more than 3 hours, but nothing happened.
So: none of the categories in the poll apply to me: I seem to get the update, but cannot install it.

I finally figured what was wrong: I had a bad (as in not accepted by the system) update in the dload folder of the sdcard. Thus even after flashing TWRP via adb or the stock firmware upgrade, that was tried and denied, first.
Once I removed that folder, I could successfully install TWRP and the latest CM/Lineage build (alpha-4).
To actually answer your questions: Yes, CH, and yes, bootloader unlocked.

I had manually uppdated to B521 and tried to update to B563 trough the Firmware Finder without success.
Then I downgraded to B193, tried update to B563 and failed.
Updated to B211 then and did factory reset. After restart I got new firmware showing in system update in settings.
So I´m guessing it´s official OTA update as I didn´t update through Firmware Finder.

I was on L29C185B180, and the 321 update (4.1) just hit my phone on Thursday.
I recieved my OTA update today on from NXT L29636211 to b563 im in the UK with China dual sim international Mate 8 purchased from wonda mobile. Went very smoothly. Now enjoying official Nougat.
Hi guys! Would just like to seek some assistance regarding my girlfriend's phone. I know that the Oreo update is out for quite some time now, but her phone doesn't seem to be receiving the OTA update.
I've read some other guides instructing to use Firmware Finder(?). But I haven't tried it yet since I haven't seen her phone's build number from my searches.
Please see below:
Model: MHA-L29
Build Number: MHA-L29C185B110
We can find a lot of available firmware in the Firmware Finder app but I'm being extra cautious as I do not have any experience regarding this issue.
Any input or instructions will be greatly appreciated.
I wasnt seeing it either, called huawei support, pretty much useless. tried to do a forced Oreo update via huawei file finder and hisuite, but that bricked my phone. let the battery die down, then i got control of volume keys on boot, that got me to the erecovery, downloaded 7 again, oh well, at least it was going to work, but immediately upon reboot, it said i had an update to Oreo ready! so I did it and it worked. I think if you are rooted in 7, it wont find 8. just some food for thought.
The unit came from Dubai and we haven't done any rooting to it since we do not know how.
Is there any easier workaround for it?

FF is easiest.
But you need to choose right ROM version.
Check other threads and notice what versions of region C185 were distributed by OTA.
In FF you must choose ROM with FullOTA-MF tag.
There are 186, 187, 188, 189 builds, but I don't know which is actual, cause I have C636 region.
Builds from B321 and higher are on Android 8 (Oreo). Otherwise, I recommend upgrade to last build on Android 7, then start experimenting with Oreo
There is one build B187 with FullOTA-MF-PV tag.
According changelog it created by Huawei to downgrade onto Android 7 from Oreo. But it is still FullOTA, so it is independent one. Thoughts, that it can be used to upgrade from your old build B110 to actual.
P.s. don't forget to turn proxy off before finishing download. It will avoid traffic waste.
P.p.s. Backup your important data first.
FullOTA doesn't clear user data usually, but FullOTA-MF-PV can do it.
Mha-l29c185b187 FullOTA-MF-PV
I saw a youtube video where he clicked the in-app proxy then he went to the WiFi settings to check to proxy. It was set to localhost and 8080.
After backing up important files, should I just go straight to the FF app and download the build? So sorry for the noob questions.

No need to download manually.
FF forces ROM to install via system update. It looks like phone will get notification about new ROM and you simply decide to install. Phone will download ROM and install it.
Okay, so all I have to do is choose the one you specified earlier them I'm all good? Will try it later and revert for any developments. Thank you!
So I tried downloading the build you suggested but after downloading, it failed to install and said the software was not authorized or something.
Are builds only compatible to its corresponding region? I'm from the Philippines, by the way. But the phone originated in the Middle East.

Ok. Check availability by imei in FF of every FullOTA ROM version 186+
Full OTA MF only? Not Full OTA MF PV?
Got the update finally! I've been checking every day almost
Hello, sorry it took so long. I successfully updated the phone to a new build no. Mha-L29c185B188. But we still couldn't see the oreo update in the updater settings. Please advise next step for an oreo update.

Hi i live in Lebanon and i have the Middle east variant C185 and i am still on MHA-L29C185B188 since 2 months.
No Oreo update till today. maybe we have to just wait a little more. Normally release of OTA updates is by IMEI and not by region.

I have a ME variant C185 as well. So I have been eagerly awaiting Oreo update since long too.
I have recently moved to Australia, as you rightly noted, the phone wouldnt update here too, since Huawei is probably checking region or IMEI or both to allow firmware updates.
Last night, I downloaded FF to check and finally managed to find Oreo update being available. Its currently downloading the 2.67 GB OTA update. But I didnt install it yet.
The version number of the download is 8.0.0.370 (C185).
You can try your luck thru FF, and I hope it works for you as well. Good luck!

Hi m8,
Usually C900 is the version of the cust that gets flashed another firmware from another device and messes it up. Was your phone bought from a retailer? Do you have an option to return it and get an replacement?
If not, you can try to flash on it this firmware from C432 cust (it's an global firmware used on many custs on EMUI 9.1) and see if it get's any uodates after you flash it. For info about flashing using dload firmware, see my post about from here #791.
HUAWEI P30 ELE-L29 HW EU HLRCF ELLE-L29B 9.1.0.193(C432E4R2P2) FIRMWARE 9.0.0 R3 EMUI9.1.0 05015SFK
Feel free to ask if you need more assistance
SilviuO
did the above worked? i have almost the same firmware build c900e106r1p16 ele-l29
followed SilviuO answer and updated to that version but again cannot get any new updates. As long as you cannot unlock the bootloader you will stuck at this and all updates would be done manually when available from other members.

There are 2 options:
1. It was a VOG unit intented to be used by the on-line/offline testers or some reviewers and usually those tests devices has C900 cust (in that case it means NO OTA or other updates);
2. It had another cust and used paid services (as Funky Huawei) to flash firmwares and flashed a wrong one whitch f####d up the cust and without unlocked bootlader you can't change it or rebrand it

Hello masters!
I successfully installed GMS on my P40 Pro by downgrading it to v10.1.0.131. Do we have a way to upgrade firmware version while GMS is installed?
Thank you.
By using the built in system updater
I have tried to update since I'm on. 131 version.
I checked on the built in updater and it says that I'm up to date, installed Hi suit on my PC and it says that I'm on the latest version.
I am on March security patch. Downloaded Firmware Finder but I don't know which one to select.
I have the ELS-NX9 build number. 131 and C636. How do I know which one to select
I have the same model and had no issues upgrading via built in system updater
hello bobman
just to double check, are you pertaining to the system update which can be found on settings then systems & updates?

Hi.
I installed GMS 5 days ago. Since then I don't have any new updates for my software. Status says my devices software is current. I'm on 10.0.151
First try with hisuite. Once update is available. Disconnect hisuite and check from mobile. It will be there
I trie'd with Hisuite but it said that my software is current.

Which firmware should I install from FF? Latest avaible in FF or 10.1.0.270?
Search about your phone model, LIO-LGRP2 or LIO-LGRP4 (I don't know what model you have); once you know the model, search latest update, FullOTA (almost 4-5Gb).
Thanks. I will try this.
Be sure you choose the corect firmware, for exactly your phone model.
Right model, latest update, FullOTA.
Follow exactly the steps you need to do, from the presentation of HiSuite proxy method.
