Hi everyone!
I created this post in June 2017 to see when we would get Oreo for our Huawei P9 Plus. We still did not get what we wanted. At least Huawei stepped up their game and got very good in the security patch updates.
However, I am officially changing phones to the Oneplus 6.
The Huawei p9 Plus is still a great phone but I really hate the ultra slow updates. I WILL KEEP THIS PAGE UPDATED in the future because I will keep my Huawei P9 Plus as a secondary phone... for now. However, I will not check for updates everyday anymore so I will keep checking this forum and once some begin getting a new update, I will check my phone again and update this page.
Thank You
WINTERWOLF
UPDATE 24 MAY 2018:
We are indeed all on the May 2018 security patch now with build 385!
Now on: VIE-l09C432B385, Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.0.3, May 2018 security patch.
That's the reason I will search other brand(s) with regular OS updates. Shame for Huawei...

Couldn't agree more! Wished they are good at keeping the firmware updates at least for flagships just like what Xiaomi done to their flagships. Outdated firmware for flagships really makes me wondering why did i bought this phone at the first place (apart from great specifications and its camera)
I was very Happy with Huawei (hardware side)
Now i'm really disappointed
Huawei P9 Plus was my first Huawei Phone. When I purchased it somewhere August 2016, I feel very exciting of the quality of the phone. However, day after day, feel that Huawei very slow in release the phone firmware even Huawei P9 was one of their best selling phones. Huawei seems don't care of the software development and continue support of its phones.
What can we do? My next phone will not be Huawei.
I saw vie-l29c636b382 on firmware finder. anyone try yet?
I tried by using proxy method. Not working since the file not signed by Huawei yet. You can do it if you have rooted by using TWRP method.

true! considering that the SoC is owned by them also but still the updates takes time before they release it.

i cannot install, coming from vie-l29c636b202. what version were you from?
VIE-L29C636B370 . You test "Check Firmware Access" in FF app first and see. Mine mentioned Firmware approved for installation model then only can install.

Firmware Finder has B384 now
I see this has been available for a few days now, anyone tried it out or seen a change log ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/FunkyHuawei/comments/6zqfqx/latest_p10_updates_vtrl29c432b170_and/
Huawei Firmware Finder doesn't have this version, maybe not released by Huawei, yet?
Nothing here in denmark, latest is b164
This update is not available on Huawei's public servers, so this is not likely to be found on Firmware Finder, until when/if it is publicly released.
The published changelog is as follows, but I don't think it's correct changelog -- Huawei often doesn't offer an accurate changelog until well after, when the update is released to public.
Source: I'm involved with the service offering the update.

Link for download?

Actually B171 is coming out privately so probably B170 will not be released publicly.
I have no idea about time frames.

You get ota if huawei pushes it to your phone
FunkyHuawei is a paid service, so the xda team won't allow any support here.
But I think, that there's something that I can say about FunkyHuawei:
To update your phone with their services you have to buy points. When there wasn't any change, you have to buy at least 5 points for USD $30 and the update takes 1 point.
But be careful with this firmware, I once installed B124 via FunkyHuawei a few months ago and had huge problems with Camera and UMTS (don't have 4G with my sub-provider).
My phone was barely not usable just because of a firmware provided by FunkyHuawei.
So, don't update if you have no problems with your installed firmware, just for having a newer one. There isn't even a changelog, so FunkyHuawei has an firmware, which isn't released by Huawei yet and this can have a good reason.

B166 is now showing as available to download from firmware finder for my L29C636
Anyone know if this means its officially available - don't want to upgrade if its not going to be rolled out

I tried to upgrade to B166 from Firmware Finder but at the end when the file was downloaded, i got an error pop up.
Saying that the file failed the authentication, hence the upgrade didn't start.
I guess then B166 hasn't been released officially yet...

Same problem here, authentication error and deletes the update

It is not yet official. You can save all the hurdles by checking the firm in the FirmwareFinder app. Currently it shows: "The firmware has not yet been approved for installation".

Not official and not installable are two different things.
B166 is official, had it shown up on my phone through OTA, and installed it about a week ago.
Today new firmware appeared v 47.1.A.2.324
Anyone flashed the new version
What's new??
It might be the September security updates. I just received my US firmware based one on the older firmware and it has the August security patch level. Based on what I see in XperiCheck, the US firmware isn't listed yet for the G8342.

I used Lenovo rescue to update my G Power to the QPMS30.80-109-2 version (from QPMS30.80-51-5) and I was wondering what is different. I think it is strange that this update was not OTA. It is also still on the July security patch.
The update was released on August 31st 2020 according to a mirror

Haven't noticed anything different either. I thought it was also an updated version, but doesn't look like it.

No, no crashes. I updated using the Lenovo rescue, removed the erase user data line from the XML file.
I never got the Ota update.
Retus G Power here. The OTA update is QPMS30.80-51-8 with the September 1, 2020 security patch. The LMSA downloads the QPMS30.80-109-2 version for some reason.

Maybe due to LMSA only downloads full firmware and its not available yet.
Ok so got the Google Fi version. It's a -4 model so no OTA update yet. Help?
