“TWRP recovery (From this link), don’t root just install recovery.”
How I am supposed to do that without root ?
Huawei is different, you only need to unlock bootloader to flash twrp, root is not necessary
Ok ay Matahhar, I need some help. Please.
I have a EVA-L19C185. It’s stock, actually brand new (got it 20h ago). Since then I’ve been desesperaly trying to get EMUI 5.0 on it.
when I first started the phone, I immediatley got an OTA. I’ve downloaded and installed it. I didn’t paid it so much attention, but I think it worked. I’m now EVA-L19C185B170. (hw/meafnaf)
Since this update, I’ve failed again and again to update it. (I preciste that most of my tries have been with B385-FULL, but I’ve tried some others)
I’ve tried with the app “Firmware Finder” and it “proxy” addon. The OTA is detected by my updater, it is downloaded, and in the end when the smartphone reboot and try to install the ota it tells me “error verifying the package”. I tried several times and systematically got this error.
I’ve then tried your method using “HiSuite” and “Huawer Adapter”. HiSuite detect the update, it download it and send it to my phone. My phone reboot and try to install it. HiSuite tells me it successfully updated my system, but my phone give me the exact same error, it fail verifying the package.
I’ve then tried the “dload” method. Here the error it give me is a little different : it verifies the package, behin to install it and then immediately says that the package is not compatible with the current installed software.
I’m begining to get worried that something is wrong with my phone. I performed a factory reset, and tried again, and got the same error.
Now, the phone propose me a new OTA. When I go in the updater and search for update it find nothing. When I select “download the complete new package” it proposes me to download “B220-FULL”. When I download it, in the end, it tells again that the package is not correct.
What is wrong with my phone ? When I got it, the box wasn’t sealed, but it didn’t seems to me that anyone tempered with the phone. Plus the bootloader is locked (tried to install from fastboot but the flash command is not allowed, and the fastboot screen actually display “Locked” in green letters)
I’ve decided to get this phone because EMUI 5.0 seemed a lot better than EMUI 4.1. Now I don’t know what to do. I’m no thrilled by unlocking the bootloader of a brand new phone and then voiding the garranty just because I want to install a stock update. Do you have any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Try an older version of nougat 1st
Method 1 doesn’t work, keeps getting an error “no internet connection,please check network settings” although I followed all steps carefully.
I’m on EVA-L19C185B385 now. what to do?
You are not clicking update button in huawei updater after that you need to click check for updates in hisuite
Before i upgraded to nougat. I was in b220 and read about this post that need to flash back to B180 (just try to search the firmware from google) and use method1 to rollback.. After flashing try the method2 to upgrade to nougat. Just follow the instructions and it will be fine
i have same situation. if i follow mentioned method will void warranty ?
i am posting here because i not able to post message on https://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/03/huawei-p9-eva-l19-nougat-b385-update-emui5-middle-east-africa.html this page
Your warranty remains intact,
ok…will try and update status
I used method 2 (except for me entering incorrect port number), it worked perfectly fine. You guys are awesome. Apart from my slow internet, the upgrade took less than an hours compared to my colleague’s 5 hours using firmware finder. I would definitely recommend this method to anyone.
