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 Outdated firmware for flagships really makes me wondering why did i bought this phone at the first place (apart from great specifications and its camera)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.

VIE-L29C636B370 . You test "Check Firmware Access" in FF app first and see. Mine mentioned Firmware approved for installation model then only can install.

Follow the same procedure as below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...torial-root-november-security-update-t3715661
Cannot bro. Until now, only the December security update use "level 3" block bootloader. So cannot use BL of other lower firmware. November security update use the same "level" bootloader with lastest MM update ("level" 2).

It is Philippines (XTC) and phone origin is Vietnam, we are in the same CSC group and it should work. Please try exactly what I did.
Flash nougat BL with nov security patch along with the dec nougat build for AP+CP+CSC. After complete installation, I tried flashing TWRP (ofcourse enabling OEM unlock and USB debugging) and it failed. So went again to download mode then flashed BL (the file I attached) along with the dec nougat build. Again completed installation, then successfully flashed TWRP via odin. Afterwards, proceed to rooting my device.

I can not flash BL nougat from the September patch because it has level 2, and my BL is level 3 ....
Are you also Filipino?
Strange, maybe it is country specific issue. Mine has level 2 BL and rest Level 3 per dec build and I was successful flashing it. If you have a way to revert back from previous nougat build, say nov security patch, and can re-root your device, try flashing the latest nougat via flash fire. Use "flash firmware" action button and follow the instructions. Untick the "recovery" checkbox so you maintain twrp. From there, reroot your device through twrp. I also did this process and I was successful doing the whole thing.

If you have flashed level 3 BL initially then you have a slim chance of downgrading your device from previous builds. Maybe I was just lucky enough because I used flashfire at first to upgrade to dec nougat build. I just didn't like settings menu as it was quite different from previous nougat, so I reflashed everything via odin but using level 2 BL and the rest level 3 (dec build). Try to follow the furom from the thread I initially gave you as they have also issues same as yours.

Flashfire doesn't flash bootloaders which is why you were able to root.
I hope there's a other way to install twrp or cwm even the boot loader can't downgrade.?

Unlikely. Once it's locked that's usually it, no modifications possible.
It'll probably be locked down forever now unless Samsung release an unlocked firmware.

If You have N950F(Exynos) then You just have to flash stock firmware with Odin and You will be able to get OTAs.

Yes.
But IMO not worth going through all that, it's all hype by people always wanting the latest possible. Oreo is not that much different. I'm rooted also & I'll be waiting for my favorite custom rom to be released in Oreo rather than going back to stock & take the OTA.

Yes, you won't get it if it "is". The question was, "was". As ProtoDeVNan0 stated, if you flash back to stock, OTA will work, regardless if you were rooted before & if knox is tripped.

No problem. To get OTA, Device Status in Settings needs to be Official as well as in download mode Current Binary & System Status. Flashing back to stock fw will take care of that.

I have never rooted my A7 (2017) so far. But I always look for the rooting method for my phone every now or then. About 3 days ago, I updated my phone to latest security patch of October 2019 and I feel like all the threads and discussions for A7 phone has become outdated for me. Or does they still work?

Yup everything still works. The part that changes, is getting oem unlock toggle to show. Read corsicanu's thread how to enable it if you can't find it in dev options.
Hi there everyone! I was wondering in what security patch are you at the moment and im what country did you get the latest update. I'm unable to find the ota file over internet so I'm doubting if in fact Nokia did release updates.
Greetings all!
I'm on September's, and I believe everyone else is too
Yup. September update too.
My MiA1 has already gotten November update ?
November 5th security update. Received OTA today.
Yup, got the Nov 5th update last night.
Was hoping it was Android10 update tho... ?
Does the OTA brick unlocked devices?
Does it remove the option to unlock the bootloader in the dev settings?

No, I did not unlock, yet. Don't have time to backup/restore everything right now - without root access this is really cumbersome..
