Hi! I did everything as it says here but I got “Software Installation Failed” message at around 35%. I am on L09C02B137 firmware. Any help?
Guide has been updated, please read it and try again
I also tried to update from B137, I installed the update.app with success, then I tried to flash the other file but got bootloop, now I cannot flash anything cause it always says wrong version.
2nd file you also extracted? And then copied to dload?
Probably I did something wrong, there are two download links, may you explain for me how to do it correctly? Would be very happy, sorry for bothering you.
Yes you need to download both, i don’t know which one you downloaded 1st
Thank You! Downloading the files now.
unfortunetly by my mistake i did update only with the update_data_full_vodafone_default.zip file nd my phone booted only to Huawei eRocevery and failed Getting package info failed. How to fix it any clue? many thanks!!
Are you sure that this method will work?
it doesn’t work, when i turn on the phone at 5% it give me the error “the firmware does not exist, please download firmware” and hit let me only reboot the phone
Make dload folder, extract update.zip then move update.app to dload and also move data zip file to dload and try again
Hi. I got the same problem “the firmware does not exist”. And have a questions:
1. dload folder should be created in the internal storage/root/sdcard/ ?
2. after moving update.app and data.zip to the dload – should I delete the HwOU/69374 folder?
Yes delete hwOU folder, and please use sd card, make dload folder in sd card sdcard/dload
Now after (Vol up, vol down and power) it start installing but after some time I am getting “Software install failed”. Can you help to go over that as well?
In my: sdcard/dload/ i have following now:
UPDATE.APP
update_data_full_vodafone_default.zip
After the error it still can be run with the stoke rom… But I need somehow to get the Android 7 on this phone.
Please refresh this page, alternative method has been added. Try it
Thanks. I am trying it now (27% downloading…). Will let you know the results…
Is it possible to flash the unbranded rom to the P9 vodafone, so in the future get all ota updates for this device. If yes then how, do you have a guide?
Do it before upgrading to Nougat.
yes, its possible to debrand but you will lose warrant, and method includes unlocking bootloader and installing twrp. only then it can be debranded to normal European version
Well. I can confirm now that Alternative method works.
My P9 is running Nougat now. Thank you!
Do you think I still can do debranding now (i don’t care about warranty) ?
Please check your email, and respond me there
Hi, at 35 % “softaware installation failed”. Any help?!?! I have created on the sd a folder “dload” and in this folder i move UPDATE.APP from update.zip . NOW I HAVE A BOOTLOOP FOR THIS GUIDE.
Oh sad, did you read installation guide at the end of this page?
I didn’t wrote dload method for this update.
Try to repair with hisuite
Going to test if the alternative method works
Just to be clear, will my warranty still be valid after these?
(I don’t think I will end up needing the warranty, but a little piece of mind goes a long way)
Ok, these goes to all who are trying to upgrade their device
The second method worked
(The downloader crashed at 99% once for me and the first boot after the upgrade gave me a crash on the boot screen)
but all in all it worked!
Your warranty is still intact
Thanks 😀
I followed the 2nd method, download completed and the install completed. Says device updated. It then reboots the phone and when it tries to verify update on the phone, it just says software install failed and the only option is to reboot. I’m still on Android 6.0. Can you tell me what might be wrong ?
Well, there are 2 methods, if one fails try other one, and don’t forget to read instructions carefully,
thanks, I thought the 2nd method was the one to follow and I’ve seen a previous comment to say it does work, just wondering if I haven’t done something correctly after the install.
Can you tell me your current build number?
L09C02B132
1st upgrade to B135 or B137, then try again
ok thanks for the advice, I’ll let you know how I get on.
Goodnight, i tried both methods and it didnt work, the second method i dos everything, the package transfers, the instalation goes until 40% and then it says fail to update
Make sure you are running B137 or B135,
Well its normal for some users it doesn’t work
I have b137 and none of it works
Ok then have patience until you get ota

Thank you for precious comment

sorry missed your link to B137, thanks I’ll try that later today.
Hi, i used the second method and it’s all perfect. Now i want to install B340 and even using the same method,dload folder or FFinder app i cant upgrade(goes to 100% and failed)
Use THIS LINK and send me screenshots after successful installation
Thanks, will try later and then leave feedback

hi, I used the second method and im on B339 but now i try to update by the same procedure and it fails when starts to upgrade. It says the update isn’t certified or authenticated and fail. Tried three links for B340
B340 is not working for anyone
OK, and B341? This is draining battery and I have the same usage and apps. Don’t know what to do now, already did a factory reset
Updated to L09C02B37 and then upgraded to Android 7. Looks really good, followed the 2nd method, many thanks.
Glad to know that, please like my Facebook page
worked for me installed a few from huawei updater then this one
Hi Mutahhar the link you provided for Nuno was that for the B340 update ? I downloaded it to dload folder it did the update but still says I’m on B339.
I don’t remember exactly
Hi, I have installed this and it working for the most part. However, I cannot turn on bluetooth
Tell me your build number?
I am currently on eva-l09c02b339
Try to do, factory reset, Bluetooth bug is known for some users, it’s beta version
If I do this update when vodafone relase an offical update will this still work with the standard ota update in the settings?
Why not, its official ota, if Vodafone release newer version than this, you can get it through ota
Brill thanks
I have b339. Now I tried to install the b341 through the huawei firmware finder and says that authentication is not possible! I wonder why?
Try b340 instead
I can’t find b340
Install b341 with dload method
Where is the dload file b341? I can’t find! Do you have a link?

Did update successfully, but still appears b339
