Reverted MT2-L03 back to stock, bootloader unlocked/rooted -, even reflashed stock recovery to be on the safe side (with root).
Unlike other people, whom seem to be getting a push notification for system update, this phone gives no such thing. I'm on Wind mobile, doesn't notify whether on WiFi or carrier network.
Reading "How To Get Update" on other sites tells me to go to Huawei's site directly, but all I see is a download for HiSuite.
For the heck of it, I also tried to fetch an update manually through "System Update" on the phone, and through HiSuite, no dice.
Don't need a recovery image, need this elusive update app/image everyone is talking about. That said, does anyone have a clean source for this, since Huawei isn't pushing it to my device? Thanks!
Other Info:
MT2-L03
Carrier: WIND Mobile (carrier does not impose any restrictions or software, stock = factory stock)
Android 4.3 (184 is still on 4.3 with some fixes right? Some select apps have issues with later ver. of Android)
Bootloader = UNLOCKED; Rooted with KingoApp, variant of SuperSU is the only thing installed (KingoUser) for permissions.
Current build: 128

I also have a Wind MT2-L03, and mine has never had the bootlaoder unlocked, and never rooted, yet I'm also stuck on the build B128 that it came with, with no push notification for system update. So your issue has nothing to do with anything you may have done to your device. Looks like Wind users are left out in the cold on this one.

It would seem that way. Perhaps Wind's version works well enough that they don't need to update said devices (or maybe issues aren't as prevalent on these). So far haven't noticed any issues, but I've emailed Huawei mobile support later in their afternoon, and just about 10 minutes ago, so awaiting what they say about any later firmware updates.

That said, HiSuite finally pushed a version update (of HiSuite software) then checked for Android OS updates through it (sends IMEI back to Huawei then checks their database). It says "Your device has the latest version." So that answers that, at least.
Hello,
I have a huge problem with meinm Honor 5X KIW - L21 .
I wanted to flash the OTA update B320 today .
Before I made it , I have the original recovery installed and the Honor unrooted .
After that I carried out the OTA update . This then broke off with an error .
Now I wanted the Honor boot , but it hangs while Honor logo .
I can not reboot into bootloader .
The only thing that is still possible , the boot into the recovery .
Can the phone still somehow save ?

There is no OTA marshmallow update for the KIW L21 yet
Think you might have flashed KII L21 update instead

No, the statement is false . I was offered this morning on the App HiSuite the OTA update .
Have you tried the pc program to do a recovery or maybe reply update thru the recovery .... Yes the KIW has the B320 update I'm using it right now ...
I do not have the files . And can download they nowhere . At least for the KIW - L21

don't worry
- turn device off
- put USB-cable in your pc (with drivers and adb/fastboot installed)
- press vol-down and power simultan und plug in USB-cable in your phone within one second
- now you are in bootloader-mode
- flash TWRP and do anything you want (restore a backup, flash rom ...)
- I would advise to flash a rom from xda with TWRP instead of ota or update.app through stock-recovery (only problems!)
So far so good , pretty snappy , batt seems ok . Going on third day with this update . Ui changes in where stuff is located and finally batt percent inside the icon Yeah ... Had some trouble with swipe to unlock while charging butt could have just been the theme.... I use perf mode 90 percent the time I don't like the smart mode at all....

Cool. Still waiting on my KII-L21 (GR5) Nigerian region. No update yet. I keep refreshing Updater everyday. Twice a day even. Nothing.
Plan is when it finds the update, i flash back my stock recovery and update normally. But already getting so impatient. Thinking of moving to CM soon.
Kiw L21 rolled out yesterday dont have the update yet it takes some time. De you have to be fully stock to receive the update? Did you upgrade from B130 or B140?
I'm full stock was B140 with unlocked boot. I tried some Roms but none have FW support afaik so I went back to stock no root. I found the update thru the updated Hicare app not the one already installed but the one the pc program installs....
You have to upgrade from within the HiCare app, select service, then OS Upgrade early adopters.

Noob question: So this means the update is not "officially" out, but rather some kind of public beta where you can enlist for?

It is the official update. From what I understand, the update normally rolls out in stages. You simply 'jump the queue' by downloading it through the early adopters option..
Hi,
Does anybody knows, in which drive or folder the firmware files gets downloaded? I updated from B150 to B180 via Firmware Finder (proxy method), so I was able to download the update files over the normal Firmware Update function in the settings. Sadly, I klicked the Update-button in Firmware Finder several times and so, the download of the update files got started several times.
Now the firmware description page in the settings shows a size of 5 GB for the last update (B180). And on the memory page in settings, there are more than 12 GB occupied drive space from firmware files listed. Other file management tools like Files Go from Google show the same amount of occupied/free space on the internal drive (not SD card). So, the files must be on the phone somewhere. But...
I used several tools to search for the downloaded files. I didn't found them. Not I in a directory on the internal drive, not I in a directory of the system partition (read-only). I also cleared the /cache partition via recovery menu: press Vol-Up and On/Off-Button to switch on the phone and clear Cache.
Has anyone an idea, where the firmware update files have been be downloaded and/or how I can clean up "old" firmware files?
Thx.
The firmware is saved in /data/media/0/HwOUC/[Some number]. /data/media/0 is the internal storage.
Hey,
I have Honor 9 version STF-L09C432B100, I have looked on the forum, and can see you can get Oreo updates since 5th / 11th Dec.
I saw you can get updated firmware from Firmware finder, I saw the latest 180 build, however checking this with imei, shows that is is not ready for my device.
2 questions
1. is it safe to get firmware like this?
2. Am I seeing this due to buying from Three (uk)?

I upgraded to oreo via firmware Finder, there is an a available update there
Updated- changed the title to be more generic for device rather than just an update/build.
Hi folks,
As title says, this full firmware is available now on FF so you can just dload for update or can use in case phone is soft bricked. This is the first full firmware available for Indian variant on FF.(b151 system img was shared long back).
Note- OTA has already started rolling out a week back and many has received the same. OTAs are coming in batches and should reach everyone by 3rd August as per info i have.

Thanks,
I have figured it out. I have taken second zip file from khera's rom and rename the file to update.app and it's upgraded and now I got OTA update for the new version.
Its better factory reset your phone if you are coming from custom rom.
After update i had so many bugs, but after reset everynrjg is smooth and fine.

Forgot to capture it to ff
Got the update finally... Indian variant.
Finally update received for my rebranded phone!!
Just received normal OTA
Before start i'd like to tell you about my adveture with my phone
I had a Huawei mate 10 ( ALP-L29 c185) installed 8.0.0.139, rooted with magisk and TWRP (By Pretoriano80) as recovery so yesterday i suddenly think that "i shuld try android 9" (i don't know why?) . I searched here and internet so finally i decided to update by "hurupdater" method. I downloaded stock firmware by "Firmware Finder for Huawei" app (9.0.0.177) and hurupdater 0.4 also twrp_bla_alp_0.7.img for twrp recovery. I put them in same folder on sdcard. Renamed recovery.img to keep recovery as twrp. Lastly i restarted recovery and installed hurupdater.zip.
DANG!!! My phone is bricked....... It gave a lot of errors during installation and when i try to reboot it was bootlooping, cant load recovery interface (twrp or stock). I could enter e-recovery but gives "getting package info failed" error. So ended up with bricked phone in my hands. I tried many ways including hisuite but nada....
Then i remembered "Funky Huawei", bought 1 credit and followed instructions. After long hellish hours (firmware downloading takes long) i have my phone back working with stock 8.0.0.140 rom, stock recovery even relocked bootloader also my whole data was intact. My curosity cost me 20 $ and hours. This morning i realised there is system update 9.0.0.159
So my questions o this point
1)What should i do now? Update to android pie (with stcock recovery of course)? Is it worth trying or just install twrp and root my current rom and go on my way for a while longer ? (till a more stable pie relase)
2) For the future, what was wrong in my update process. I'd never want to make same mistake again..
Thanks...

I have exactly same phone (c185) never tried unlocking bootloader but I updated to emui 9 159 there are some buggy things like when you want to use third party lunchers You can't use gesture navigation and it has so many bugs so not using gesture is better
there are again some problems with third party launchers (im using nova) like sometimes when you go to "resents" its totally blank and you have to force stop "huawei home" to make it right
there are some good changes in camera like new 960 fps slow motion (but there is a huge crop in 240fps 720p and 960fps 720p I can't remember that 240fps had that crop or not) Turning off master ai and some new scene detection but it's slower than last one
there is a new performance mode that i love using it (it feels like a real flagship however it's not because of stupid SOC)
there is a new AI api that android 8 didn't have so most of apps wasn't able to use NPU
in emui 8 there is a little bit better battery
I love changes to my phone so I preferred buggy new firmware to old ones there are so many good little changes in interface (like when you take a picture you can go to gallery then scan it for QR code)
There is a way better Mira cast functionality (and new desktop mode in it)
hi touch, hi vision
These were all expensives I had with emui 9 that I can think of
How did you update @arianamirgholami ?
Meanwhile, I have the same phone but am still on Android Oreo......I have the ALP-L29 8.0.0.141(C185) model. I'm reading more and more about others with this model that have gotten the Android Pie upgrade over the last two months but the upgrade is still not available to me. Makes no sense...I have a stock rom on the phone, I am NOT rooted and my bootloader is locked. Neither hisuite, hicare, system update, nor firmware finder methods gets me anywhere. They all say that I'm on the most recent firmware.... 8.0.0.141(C185). Go figure....

Same here, although my brother and I have the same device (ALP-L29C185) and we're on the same career, he got the pie update like a month ago and nothing for me yet. I think it's a matter of time until our imeis turns.

Yes I saw many people on internet facing same issue, What I assume is that when you purchased the phone it came with 8.0.0.141, that's why its not getting the Pie. Because the phones which were using 8.0.0.140 already got the Pie instead of 8.0.0.141. So one thing you can try is to go back to 8.0.0.140 and then update the phone. I did the same, Installed 8.0.0.140 using HiSuite and then update to Pie.
