Hi, I have a Global Honor 10 with Emui 9. I tried to update it at latest firmware but I noticed a change in Firmware Finder. Although my model is set correctly in the app, firmwares show a different name. I have a COL L29 C636 E2R1P12 model, in Firmware Finder now I see COL LGRP2 OVS. The strange thing is that firmwares are supposed to be approved for my smartphone but if I update using an update.zip downloaded from FF, at reboot Honor 10 go on soft brick and in Info Model I can't see Honor 10 as model but Porshe Mate Rs. So Firmware Finder is not as useful as in the past? Where can I looking for correct firmwares for my model? Thanks
I suggest find the stock firmware and flash via fastboot. Then just update the phone over OTA. Still waiting for the March security updates

i had never update it
What version need i to update it to latest stock firmware android 6 or higher ?
c185? it's from the middle east region, right?
Honestly I'm not familiar with your model, so my suggestion is: download Firmware Finder from the Play Store, and check for the latest firmware available it automatically detects your model, gives you a list with all the updates available (both incremental and full OTA), and this way you are sure to choose the right file.
ypu can download latest firmware from huawei site and flash it manually to update
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..
Hello guys,
I just wondering, any of you guys manage to update the firmware to 8.1.0.140?
In Firmware Finder, the firmware is listed, and can be download.
I tried to use the HiSuite update method (DNS method), but somehow when i try to update the firmware, it shows
Columbia-L29D (C636) instead of COL-L29 (C636)
is it the same model or the firmware are totally for different model?
Has anyone successfully updated the firmware on the C636 version of M5 Pro. I have tried Firmware Finder app, however, all versions listed are not approved for installation.
My c636 is on .162...
Is this the Pro version? How did you get the updates? Mine is still on 120.
Yes, I'm using the Pro version.
I click system update after I take it out of the box.
I've found new update but my device is not eligible for the update yet .
Hi, I am using Huawei p20 lite with the build number ANE-LX2C636 and I have been stuck with EMUI 8 for years now and I want to update it to 9 using Firmware Finder, the question is which update should I choose from the list (I know how to check if the update is compatible with my device) since there is a lot and my Android version is very old, should I just install every compatible update starting from the bottom or what?
Thank you guys for your help.

Over the course of one month I've tried everything you said two times each, I even contacted Huawei local costumer service and they replied and I quote: "Judging by your IMEI number it doesn't appear that you have a Huawei device at the first place, that is why you don't get updates", so yeah, the phone that I've purchased from an official vendor with a relatively higher price than the free market isn't even registered.
Note: yesterday I tried to download a FullOTA ANE-LX2 EMUI 9.0. update via Firmware Finder and the download unfortunately failed.

FF won't help you, you can try get bootloader unlock code for 4euros on hcu-client.com , then rebrand your phone to global version. Or, buy Service ROM on easy-firmware for 17euros and upgrade your phone to EMUI 9.1 using dload method (yes, crazy ). Sorry, I can't help you anymore
P.S.: try a google search to find the method "patched HiSuite" or "proxy HiSuite", it may help you. Good luck!
