I need some help, I have a Mate 10 from China the Al00 version 6gb/128gb version. It came rebranded with AL29 115 (C636) flashed over it. Everything is working fine. When I check Firmware Finder app it shows there are updates available for C636 but these are not approved for installation. However when I check the (C185) update version of the L29 it is approved for my device. So I updated to this version which is L29 8.0.0.119(C185) everything worked fine and when my phone rebooted it was still on L29 8.0.0.115(C636) but the security patch was updated to the latest November one from October. I don't understand what has happened here? WHY HASN'T the build version changed? Why isn't any update version of the C636 not approved for my phone? I would appreciate any help thank you in advance
Interesting I thought about doing this myself, so you probably have the firmware files of .119 but still device details .115. Can you take a screen shot of your syatem/About Phone?
You would need to rebrand your phone I would have thought, currently only funky Huawei can do this from what I've read.
I'm in the same boat, all the C636 firmwares are not authorised currently for my device also. Update.app method doesn't work with out associated hw files and I'm not willing to fastboot the partitions to the device tho should work.

I have checked and I am positive that my phone is rebranded to C636, what I find strange is that others in this forum bought the same phone from the same vendor and it was rebranded by the vendor too. They are also in the UK and they have received an OTA to 119 from 115, I do not understand why this is the case.

Yeah I've the same device from Wandamobile.
I just received the .119 OTA update as of last night. You'll get it very shortly.
Seems to be in line with firmware finder when you check firmware access, as soon as my access was approved on the app I got the OTA.

Thank you very much my friend I appreciate that ?
i have the same problem.. my mate 10 rebrand by itself after i installed a full OTA via firmware finder. my mate 10 was 119(C636) then after i downloaded and installed a firmware 128(636) via firmware finder. it didnt change at all. my mate 10 was still on firmware 119 but the worst it became 119(185) when i try to download a firmware 128(C185) i cannot install it because it was not approved.. but when i try to download a 128(636) all is good but the problem is im still at 119(C185) after the installation..
Firstly, apologies if this is a stupid question - this is my first time posting.
I have been following threads on here about the Oreo OTA update and people have been confirming it left and right, however I still haven't received anything in the UK.
Is it down to my device?
Is it safe to follow a guide on installing it from FF?
Thank you in advance.
You're on C432B120 ?
I'm still waiting too - on C432B183
" Is it safe to follow a guide on installing it from FF? "
I've use Firmware Finder to update my Honor9 ( from 183 to Oreo ) with no problems, after a few days, without FF ,I get new OTA from android, so, I think it's safe. In my case : Nothing is unlock no root , nothing, only Stock.
Thanks for all the replies. I'm on C432B183.
I'll try the FF option
Just asking!
Hi all, March is over for us in the UK in just under 4 and a half hours did anyone get the official update to Oreo other than using firmware finder? Just wish they (honor) would of just kept silent on the update until it was rolling out instead of all this guessing
Cheers
Nothing here. I only got my phone a few days ago and it did an update but only to the same version as you guys.
You tried on wifi ?
Tried on wifi connected to their PC software, not sure if I want to go down the firmware finder route just yet as there is always a chance of bricking the phone and I should of mentioned it is a retail unlocked honor 9 bought in the UK from J__n Lew_s (not sure if we can, name names so to speak on the forum) again not moaning about the phone just the lack of official information even sent honor a tweet but I will probably wait and wait for a reply

FF is totally safe if you always use the IMEI approved ones. Also, use the full OTA files. (Larger ones)

Using firmware finder no doubt will work I was wondering will a phone updated that way still receive official future ota updates for security etc or once it has been used do you have to update using FF?
I updated mine to B180 via FF and got an OTA update for B183 a few days later. Also updated to Oreo via FF with no problems. My phone came from Three.

Yes, FF only makes your phone "skip in line" of the OTA queue.
Thanks for those answers think I will update it when I return from work later
Cheers
I'm on C432B183 and am getting nothing. Firmware Finder is always saying that any new OTA update is not approved for the device...
Hi,I am using HONOR 7x BND-L21 IN MIDDLE EAST and it is not receiving update to Android 8.0......thereby all my friends who have bought it in India are receiving this update.......What can I do to get the update ASAP...

I'm guessing you meant Bnd-l21c185b141 or Bnd-l21c185b144 ?
You could try one of this two methods:
1) try the 'Nougat Update to Oreo' part of this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649
with the BND-L21C185CUST185D1B330 available on FirmwareFinder.
or
2) Replace your nougat stock recovery with the 'BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img' from the previous link and then you can use FirmwareFinder's android apps to force update to BND-L21C185CUST185D1B330.
Both method will need you to have both bootloader and bootloader's FRP already unlocked.
Thanks for your help........But I was not able to do the methods you gave to install it.....But I got another one....and that one is to Get that software-
In firmware finder there is an option to get it by In-App proxy.so can I update it by that way?????
Coz after seeing videos and videos I understood it.....

You're describing my second method.
It won't work without replacing stock recovery with 'BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img' because the firmware you'll like to install is not 'Approved'.
Sry for disturbing you again and again....what will happen if I install the firmware which is not approved coz I'm not able to understand how to do it...
nothing will happens, firmware will be erased from phone and you will get an 'install failed'

Better is to wait for the official update..

So I'm waiting for the update
Hi guys! It´s been a while since I posted last time...
Got myself a Mate 10 Pro and very happy with it. My phone has the latest OTA but I read somewhere that there are more previous firmware. I downloaded Firmware Finder from Play Store and it tells me there are several newer versions for my phone. Is it safe to use this?
My phone has the following firmware:
BLA-L29 8.0.0.142(C432)
Firmware Finder tells me that the latest firmware for my phone is
BLA-L29C432B115a (8.0.0.115a)
I find it a little strange but what is really the newest firmware for my phone?
I use the Swedish version, not locked to any operators.

Whatever is the newest one, you won't be able to force an update via FF. It doesn't work anymore. I have just the same firmware, and see the 115 as the newest as well. I also see 145 as approved for installation, but it doesn't work. You can't download firmware. Huawei changed something on servers. All we can do is waiting for official OTA, or for Team MT to fix it.
Someone tested the BLA-L29C432B115a and it's an old one so no need to apply it lol
Can i use service firmware to update RNE-L21 that still doesn't have OTA update available. And can i safley flash it without unlocking bootloader? My version is C432B138, CUSTC432D002.
Are any of these service firmwares? - LINK
Thanks
EDIT: Solved. Just had to insert SIM in the phone and OTA Oreo just showed up.
