Just checked and received a ota update on mine for the January security update and few fixes. Anyone else get it?
Just got it, it was fast update, rebooted and everything is okay
Quick question; I have the KIW-L24 model with TWRP and root by SuperSU, on a stock ROM though. I received the notification for the quick OTA update, but I'm worried it might brick my phone. Is it safe for me to download and uninstall it like the system suggests me to?
It sure took them long enough for this but I also got it updated only yesterday after reverting back to Stock via the UPDATE.APP in Dload folder method and pressing all 3 side buttons and letting it do it's thing.
It actually seems the Honor 5X runs better now but am not exactly sure what changed that yet.
Update.app got installed!

Google have released security patch but when will Honor owners get it?
I've had my phone 6 weeks and haven't received a single update. It's still on b100 & May security patch. The lack of any update is very worrying especially when a vulnerability such as Krack is identified.
Honor need to act NOW.
Honor released the B130 update in August, and it is releasing a new B150 update.
But not to all owners.
That's the issue with Honor updates.
I understand and accept the need to release updates to a small number of users initially to make sure there are no major problems. However, I've not received an update, so either Honor haven't fully released b100 or there is a problem with their update process.
It doesn't bode well when a vulnerability such as Krack is identified.
I'm on May security patch & its October!

Use the Firmware Finder app to get the update. Not the latest security patch but it's August, good enough I think.

Try Firmware Finder. It worked for me many times.
I have tried using FF with no success.
I have skelter the update files and placed the app file in the dload folder on so card and in each case updates failed.
I then tried using proxy & system update successfully downloaded the b150 538MB update. However, the update failed, this time with a warning that the phone might be corrupted. Fortunately it wasn't, but has left me concerned if I try updating using FF.
Am I doing something wrong?
I'm sure I've followed all the steps correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
With the B150 I had the same problem. It's probably caused by the update.

I don't think that issue was related to FF - I received 538MB b150 OTA, and same issue occurred - update failure (it updated to b130 from b100 though). Then 3gb full b150 update was downloaded and successfully installed.
ATT sent B180 down...
And of course, overnight, my phone tried to update - and is now stuck in a boot loop with TWRP.
Yay.
Hope everyone else is having a better day.
Rename
"/system/priv-app/DMClient/DMClient.apk"
by appending ".xxx" to the end using TWRP file manager.
Clear /cache partition.
Reboot and see if it works .

For those wondering about updating to B180.....
See this post and links in it for how we updated before if the phone was already unlocked bootloader/rooted (and for stock phones that can't OTA due to non-AT&T SIM) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73488912&postcount=1818
reloaded 170 full version on and it worked fine. Need to clean it up, as it threw the bloat back on - but didn't lose anything. Unfortunately, between 2 jobs, and moving (working on new house now, move in a couple weeks, then work on old house to sell it) I'm not seeing much time in my future to play with it much.
Is B180 rootable?
I imagine like the other version so far, it should be.

Did you previously have B170, then used your zip to update to B180?

Question: If I unlocked the bootloader and Rooted at B140 but went back to fully stock b150 and than Flashed b160 Stock can I OTA b170 and b180 or do I need to flash? I want to keep this stock since I can't use a few apps rooted.
I believe you will need to flash updates as nobody has been able to OTA after unlocking the bootloader.

I was able to update to b140 from b130 from a unlocked bootloader but that was from before I rooted.... It was before root was available.
Thanks for that detail. I wonder which partitions aside from the boot partition get modified after rooting that then breaks OTA from working.

I don't think there's any way to put your phone back to the state where an OTA will work - at least nothing we currently have on the XDA forums here that I've seen.
You could always try what you wrote below - I expect OTA will fail. If it fails, you could flash B180 - which I believe is unrooted from what I recall @clsA writing about his method to flash B180 in the B170/B180 thread by @madvane20 - but please double check on that before doing it since you want to be able to remain unrooted.

hi thanks for this advice buy my device does not have this directory or files. I am in the same boat on 170 slim and fast, got AT&T update and now in force reboot update and fail loop. i really want to find a way to make it stop force rebooting? surely something i can do in twrp terminal. any advice? but alas I might just have to reflash.
make sure u mount system in twrp that folder and file should be there and make sure to clear cache like the other post said
I installed RROS on my honor 9 (STF-L09C432 from 3 UK) a few weeks ago, however due to many issues with it I decided to go back to EMUI. I eventually managed this using the rebrand guide, but just flashing without rebrand. I flashed B120 firmware as many people said this is the only rom where the torch and capacitive keys work if you are flashing from a non-EMUI OS.
The flash went perfectly and everything works, except I cannot OTA, software update is listing me as being on the latest firmware, but I know it isnt from firmware finder. If I try to upgrade via firmware finder, it all works till the phone restarts, then the recovery just throws an error, and says it can't be installed.
Fastboot says FRP and bootloader are unlocked onscreen however trying to flash anything, or run the rebrand script on a newer firmware just gets command not allowed. I suspect I need to try unlocking the bootloader again, however I don't want to factory reset, as while I can backup app data with huawei backup I preferably need as little downtime as possible
Although the phone passes safety net, I get a error message saying device can't be verified on boot, and huawei apps warn my my phone is insecure.
Does anyone have any other ideas to get it to update, as especially as oreo is rolling out I would like OTA to work?

From C432B120 without ota working I've be able to update straight to 'B183 full ota approved by imei' with Firmware Finder.
I then normal updated with ota from C432B183 to B360.
Tough, it was just a downgrade I did to get back to B120, not a rebrand.
After the downgrade my phone and frp status were both locked.
I think I unlocked them again only once on B183 and thet stay that way after updated to B360. Flash and capacitives button are still working.

Thank you, I'm now running B183, I was trying to upgrade one by one by OTA in firmware finder because my internet is appallingly slow, but doing a full B183 flash worked. Just waiting for approved B360 now
Hello!
I have updated to pie .161 using the erecovery method via FF. Now if i use the erecovery normally on my phone it just say "Getting package info failed".
This isnt normalt right? There should always be a possibility to restore my phone via this erecovery right? Whats going on?
Have I messed up my phone now?

Erecovery can not mess up your phone.
Erecovery can only recover to the latest available firmware. I guess one reason why you used erecovery is because you have not received the official ota yet. Obviously it cannot recover to Emui 8 easily and emui9 is not officially pushed to your device yet. Result: erecovery cannot find a firmware to recover yet. Though it should be able to discover the 161 build later. It should be the point of time when you would have received the official ota if you had not upgraded yet manually.
The irony :laugh:

The very same thing happened with me when i update my phone through FunkyHuawei. Erecovery stopped working. Then i roll back to Oreo and then install OTA update. Everhthing is working perfectly fine again. Always use the offcial method.
Same thing happened to me but I used the hicare method so it should be official ota but still broke kt

You cannot break the phone by using either FF or erecovery (if your phone is (re)locked and you install approved firmware). That is a fact.
Erecovery is like official OTA. If the firmware is faulty not approved or otherwise not meant to be installed it will only download but fail to verify and install.
It has been reported by fh though that a factory reset on emui 9 beta builds stopped erecovery from working. That is why they came up with the hisuite method for downgrading/updating on emui9.

I downgraded using hisuite, :/ guess I'm back on android 8, but I don't mind so much since I didn't like android 9 that much. I didn't see any improvements overall so going back to 8 was something I thought about before. Now I have a reason to fix this erecovery thing
Found this interesting, after downgrade to 8, I kept the wireless projection function from Android 9 after I restored the backup.
Edit NVM it was the mirrorcasting
Hi,
I have a Mate 10 ALP-L29 8.0.0.132 (C636), unlocked bootloader, rooted with magisk. I would like to update the phone to Android 9.
After reading lots of posts, I think following procedure may give what I want.
0. downloading current stock firmware from here:
https://pro-teammt.ru/en/online-firmware-database/?firmware_model=alp-l29c636b132&firmware_page=0
1. downloading Android 9 official stock firmware from here:
https://pro-teammt.ru/en/online-fir..._model=ALP-L29C636E2R1P12B159&firmware_page=0
2. flashing back stock RAMDISK.img and RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from stock 8.0.0.132 firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-extracting-stock-firmware-files-t3756733
3. Simply waiting for OTA or Using SD card method to update Mate 10 to Android 9.
see: https://huaweiadvices.com/flash-stock-firmware-huawei-honor-phones/
I would appreciate it if someone answer/confirm my following questions:
Will the procedure work?
Is step 2 really necessary?
Will my user data be erased? I don't really mind if I have to re-install my apps.
root will be lost after updating. Is it right?
Thanks.

With EMUI 8 i think that flashing the stock ramdisk would be enough, but it won't hurt flashing the recovery_ramdisk too (in case you have twrp installed).
After that you should receive several OTAs, i don't think it will update directly to EMUI 9.
In case you don't receive any OTA, try with Hisuite on PC.
P. S. Installing the official OTAs is the safest way.

Just to update my progress so far.
above procedure worked
all my date remain unchanged.
I lost my root.
however, I got EMUI 9 though OTA!. I kept getting OTA updates after flashed back stock RAMDISK.img and RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img. Here is the list of OTA update I have got.
OTA 8.0.0.143 1.08G, Google Security path Aug, Sept, Oct.
OTA 9.0.0.159 3.88G, ALP-L29 9.0.0.159(C636E2R1P12).
OTA 9.0.0.159(C636E2R1P12patch01), a small 3.8M update on NFC
OTA 9.1.0.300(C636E2R1P12), 3.83G EROFS and GPU turbo 3.0; Security path July 2019
OTA 9.1.0.321(C636E5R1P13), 4.01G Security path Oct 2019
PS. I am in Australia.
I heard the good news that EMUI 10 has been rolled out :fingers-crossed:. Let's just wait...
