UK Updates

Hi. I got an Honor 9 through Three in the UK approx 3 months ago. It came unbranded and is currently on C432B100. Has anyone in the UK received any updates since getting their phone via OTA. I have already questioned this through HiCare chat and they have stated that there are some security updates coming soon. I previously had a P9 which never received an update in the 2 years I had it. Live chat also said that the updates are done in batches but i doubt there are that many Honor 9's in the UK to receive updates that warrant it to be put in batches.

Im stuck in the same situation, still on B100 firmware, with, what seems like no hope of any updates, im waiting on official oreo, as from what i have read, huawei already has the correct partitions for project treble, and someone has got oreo treble working on a mate 9, which has the kirin 960, and i think someone else got it booted on an honor 9.
i guess its just a waiting game for now. oreo is in beta, so i expect an official update soon.

Just use the firmware finder app to spoof updates to your device. I used this and am now on B180 working fine.

do the capacative buttons work on B180?

I have no issues with full stock B180.

Thanks. Will give it a go later when I have time.

Ive got firmware finder installed, and can download the latest firmware, i'm assuming i need to then flash the zip with TWRP, only problem ive got is that I don't have a microSD card.
unless you can perform a 'fake' OTA with the firmware finder app?
It also says that the firmware is not approved for installation when I check access

i've found a B180 firmware on ff and used the in app proxy to install but got an unstable network message after 65% which then reset to 0. Am i doing anything wrong?

This is a bug in firmwarefinder, happens to me also sometimes. also you guys dont need a custom recovery, leave everything stock, bootloader locked and frp and the HWFF update can still be done. When unstable network message occurs for me it always helped to stop the HWFF proxy and restart it, then when everything is downloading well i leave the phone alone till 100%. Then update starts in the same way as OTA directly out of settings menu. No need for recovery, sd cards etc. Only make sure that you get the FULL OTA package and proof your imei first. If its not approved the huawei check wont verify the firmware and the installation will fail (without consequences).
approved firmwares are B120, B150 and B180 as far as i have checked myself. For the other ones i think the best is to install the nocheck_recovery

Hello
You can use also Funky Huawei. However, it is not free. But, it works fine.

Do tools like funkyhuawei and dc-unlocker execute more sophisticated code than you can do yourself?

Hi. Just updated to B180 via FF proxy. Had trouble getting it to download via WiFi so used my mobile data and worked perfectly.

I finally got it to work, successfully on b180 now, don't see why b181 etc.. is listed as they are not approved for install

It just lists all of the firmwares that are available for the model. There is a seperate check whether they have been approved for install.

I think the proxy in FF is only to trigger the download. I always shut it down straight after the download starts.

Ok, I think not.
See demo: https://youtu.be/pt5pWPhcsW4
There's a short pause when you shut it down, but it resumes quickly afterwards on your standard connection.
Of course, there is nothing wrong keeping the proxy on during the download.

An update for people on B100 in the UK. I updated the other week to B180 via FF proxy. I received the OTA for B182 just now and everything working fine. So at least it still receives updates. One further mention, I previously had a p9 before my honor 9 and across almost 3 years this is the first update I have ever received. It makes.you wonder how bothered Huawei are about their phone updates.

Thanks, UK on B100 as well, didn't realise there had been so many updates. I've just installed FF, can you tell me which version of B180 you selected? Was it the full version or the update?
Cheers

Choose full if you have the bandwidth and time to be sure.

Thanks, I've started the download of the 3GB update file with the proxy then removed the proxy and it has continued. Downloading over a 4G hotspot so might take a bit of time. Hopefully I'll be updated soon and hopfully Three UK allow VoLTE for this handset.
Cheers

EMUI9 for P20 Update interval

Hi, I've been googling around to find out when is EMUI9 going to my device? My Phone is P20 EML-L29(c461). To be to the point I'm using english as default language on my phone, so not sure if region is so necessary in this case but maybe there's a way to upgrade it to a global version or some? This is my first Huawei phone so I'm curious what would be the best option here to upgrade or just wait for OTA update?

Try to find a new update from Huawei Care app from your phone. I've got the OTA for EMUI 9 from that said app.

I've tried that one already. But still not there yet.

Well it has finally arrived to my phone. It took it a month to get to me.

The OTA update for EML-L09 9.0.0.159 showed up couple days ago. I tried to update several times but download failed around 75% mark. Finally I installed HiSuite as suggested by Huawei support. The app has an update feature which let me finish the update without any issues. It should be noted that the app I installed is in Chinese, I thought I downloaded and installed an English version, lol.

Yeah, I have all the possible apps from Huawei including HiCare. As for the language is not a big deal you can change the region and language that suites you most in the settings of the app.

Downgrade from 11 to 10 for install GMS (HELP)

Hello guys. I have a mate 30 pro 4g EU version. LIO-L29
EMUI version - 11.0.0.188
I wanna downgrade to 10. Because i wanna install GMS. I have succes downgrade last 2 week on p40 pro.
Now i try first to downgrade first from Hisuite. I have install Hisuite_10.1.0.550, but i dont have the button switch to other version.
if i try to HiSuite Proxy, i recive error:
[15:48:06]: Connection To HISuite Proxy Failed....
[15:48:07]: Check If Your Firewall Is Blocking HISuite's Proxy Server
i have add the app to the firewall, i have stopped the firewall...same
Please help me to figure out.

Hey man. I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I don't think we are able to downgrade to a lower version. So, we are stuck without Google. The only negative of not having GMS is the delay or no notifications coming in at all. Hopefully apps will be updated to work well with HUAWEI notification eco system.

Hey bro. I have succed to make it

ช่วยบอกวิธีทำหน่อย thank you

Hey, can you share with us how you downgraded from 11.0.0.188. Thank you.

With hisuite proxy

Thanks. Which firmware version you downgraded to?

Well, after multiple attempts using different firmware versions, the update fails after it has reached the 100% download. Have no clue what else to do. Firewalls are off, antivirus off. Anybody?

I followed this guide: Make sure those selections matches your phones need (region, etc..). If they don't match,..you know what might happen.
Complete Guide
Modifying HiSuite and manipulating it's connection data to install Roms before they officially get released. - ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy
github.com
BUT like I mentioned at a different thread. If downgrading to 10, Googlefier Wouldn't work. Also, I had lost USB connection and fast/super charge. But I think downgrading to a lower 11 should be ok. But I don't know. If you loose that, just upgrade again.

@robjbw thanks for answering. It will help everyone.

Software install failed when trying to downgrade

I know many folks have tried to downgrade and there are many people with suggestions to downgrade Mate 30 pros.
Mine is a LIO-L29, region C637, with firmware 11.0.0.215, using Android 10, but after 9 attempts, however, none have worked. I always receive the Software install failed after about 45 minutes of downloading and I installing a previous version.
I have followed the instructions to the dot by systems hacks (
):
I downloaded HiSuite 11.0.0.510, downloaded HiSuite Proxy, from firmfinder.ml, I selected LIO-LGRP2-OVS-10.0.0.134, LIO-L29-CUST 10.0.0.6(C636), and LIO-L29-PRELOAD 10.0.0.1(C636R8), as those were the ones matching my phone.
I add the roms to HiSuite Proxy, start HiSuite 11.0.0.510, and it allows me to downgrade to my selected rom, 134.
So far so good. I wait the necessary 45 minutes, HiSuite tells me the update was complete, and every freaking time, I receive the Software install failed on my phone after about 4% of trying to verify the update.
I have tried using windows 7 and windows 10.
Am I the only one getting this message? Is my current version (11.0.0.215) not downgradable? Am I doing something wrong?
Is there any other way to try to downgrade?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

same issue here. seems like once we are at 11.0.0.215 theres no coming back. Will sell this phone, cant live without native GMS as majority of my needed apps needs native GMS

Is that a fact? Is there no way back from 215?

Can anyone confirm that it is NOT possible to downgrade from firmware version 11.0.0.215?

yes you can no longer downgrade once youre in 215

Thank you Leejon10, but as a healthy skeptic, would you mind sharing your source or what you're basing your conclusion on?

I also tried so many time, but still failed . one of the youtuber msg me to do the process after update EMUI 12 beta . emui 12 also limited . so we have to wait for some tricks from developers. i'll also try downgrade via Sigmakey tool. will update here.

Thanks a bunch. Would love to see whether you managed to succeed with Sigmakey.

qualquer solução de downgrade 11.0.0.215? Fiz cerca de 15 tentativas com vários roms, e quando chega a 4% de verificação de atualização, dá um erro.

solution downgrade 11.0.0.215 ?
I made about 15 attempts with several roms and when it reaches 4% update check, the error.

today the update for 11.0.0.236 arrived, would it be good to update?

have you tried downgrading to an earlier EMUI 11 version like 11.0.0.151 for example?

That doesn't work either, I tried it. So what it seems is that from 11.0.0.215 onwards (mine has 11.0.0.230 now) you cannot downgrade EMUI on Mate 30 Pro, for any version whatsoever.
When it comes to P40 Pro though, it seems you can still do it, no matter what version of EMUI you have installed.
Question: Will hackers be able to get around this? Or is it that because Mate 30 Pro is a phone with more than 2 years, they won't even be working on it..

What is the latest firmware for ELS-NX9?

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
