How to get the firmware file from my phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've Huawei Ascend G630-U251 and I would like to get the update.app file of my current firmware on my phone so I can put it on another device.
I haven't found my firmware build version in the huawei website probably because it is a custom build of the company I bought the phone from.
The question is:
Is there a way to get the firmware file (update.app) from my current firmware on my phone?
Thanks.

Is there even a way to do it?
BTW,
There is no forum for my device.

PLK-AL10 build: PLK-AL10C00B220

Hi,
I don't understand why my phone doesn't let me update to android 6.0 B380.
My son was getting this update automaticly and the two devices are the sames.
Build version could differ but only updates were made via update-app in the phone.
When i go to hicare =>update, i'm getting (in chinese languages) an update "PLK-AL10C00B380"
But because i can't connect to huawei account (because i'm in Belgium).
If i create an huawei account id, they're saying me that i'm not in the correct area zone.
Of course i'm not in China, i'm in Belgium and my phone number is +32-...
Could someoe help me with this problem ?

Download, install and use this tool to find an update B380 for your model.

If you find one, you can manually update to it then.
(There is a high probability that you will as it is available somewhere on Huawei servers)

procedure to update with a correct firmware
Thanks a lot for this app.
I've already installed the application on windows "Huawei Firmware Finder".
And the application has not already terminate to search for firmware's.
Because the installed firmware (and functionning) is PLK-AL10C00B220.
I've three please.
1°
I suppose that i can install only the firmwares with "PLK-AL10" as model name.
But PLK-CL00 is not the same model for example.
I should put not only as model name PLK-AL10" but also "C00" that can be added to the model (like what i see in the actual build installed on the device
2°
When i download a correct model for my phone, what is the best procedure to update it locally ?
I suppose that i have to put a file "UPDATE.APP" or "UPDATE.ZIP" in the SD card under dload directory ?
And in the update manager choose locale update (backup options+update)
3° what's the differences between OTA and FULL firmwares ?
Do you have another manner to proceed ?
Thanks in advance.

First C00 is your cust and you need to put it when you search for your firmware.
And yep, dload folder containing UPDATE.APP and choosing local update is the best choice for you.
There are other methods but too complex and for purposes more than a humble upgrade

Stuck on Android 8! NEED HELP in selecting firmware to flash.

Recently bought a used samsung galaxy s9 plus. It is stuck on android 8. When I try to update it it says that I'm already on the latest software.
When I tried to search for firmware to flash manually I got confused because CSC is XAA which refers to unlocked version but currently installed firmware is of some carrier I guess...
Can anyone please suggest me the correct firmware which I need to flash in order to get Android 9 with one UI.
See attached screenshot for exact number firmware installed.
Flash a higher binary firmware using Odin. Make sure you use full 4 file firmware. Also remember to backup your files

[SOLVED] Cannot find Lollipop firmware to downgrade from Marshmellow

Hi: I'm currently trying to apply this method to get the bootloader unlock code for my honor 5x (downgrade to Lollipop, root and get the unlock code from the inside)
My device is:
Model Number: K-L21
Serial Number: KIW-L21C432B371
Personalized version: CUSTC432D002 (not 100% sure it's the correct wording. The device locale it's Italian)
EMUI: 4.0.3
Bootloader locked and not-rooted
Trouble is, I cannot find the correct firmware to flash.
The file in this thread pass the verification but the install fails immediately, requiring a reboot:

On huawei-firmware, it's unclear to me what firmware I should download:
Huawei HONOR 5X (KIW-L21) official firmware
Huawei HONOR 5X KIW-L21 official firmware (rom - Flash File) all build with direct link for free
huawei-firmware.com
Could someone please point me to the correct firmware to download? Thanks
SOLVED:
Utimetely I had to did a bit: since the Honor website has removed the support pages for the Honor 5X, I had to go to the Huawei Support website and search there, where I found a compatible firmware:
Search: https://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/search/?keyword=honor 5x&t=SearchClick
Direct download link: https://consumer-tkb.huawei.com/weknow/servlet/download/public?contextNo=S1600349284

Question Flashing newer firmware on an unrooted XQ-CQ54

Hi all,
I wanted to flash a newer android 13 stock firmware because my Sony from a UK operator doesn't get the OTA update.
I have the firmware from XperiFirm and made the ftf with flashtool. Just before I was about to get if flashed I was reading comment saying this tool is not good anymore, but I am not 100% sure how to use the Newflasher instead.
Could someone help me on that?
I don't really want to brick my phone and if it's not a safe way to get android 13 I might just don't do it.
Cheers.
