R u updating from b521?

Yes. I'm updating from B521 and yes I got 504mb before but I wanted full package. You can download full package by clicking the "Download latest full package" refer as picture attached.

I got it from OTA. If u don't have any update then u might try to download the firmware and use dload method.
I have signed up for beta tester last time. But due to my previous firmware is B321 I can't receive the beta version and thus I use the FF to install to B521.
Don't know if this B563 is pushed out to registered beta users. Anyone else who received OTA update to B563 can confirm?

Yes. The latest firmware B563 only push to those who have pushed the first Nougat B521.

Bro dexz,

I had downloaded the update file from your Mega link and I am still in 4.1 instead of roll down to 4.0, so any suggestion?

I am now on NXT-L29C900B300

I downloaded the B211 and fit it into dload folder to run but not successful.

So any suggestion?
*
I'm sorry. I seldom visit lowyat forum. Always at xda.

Yes the roll back make your build number become NXT-L29C900B300 then only you can downgrade via dload.

Anyway what's the error you got? Did you extract and copy the update.app (B211) into dload folder?

Once you have successfully dload. Make sure do a factory reset or else you will stuck at huawei logo.

Cheers.

If your build number is B521 then you are still B521. Did you receive B563 OTA?

If you have bubble screen and duo then confirm is B563. Did you install update.zip and update_data.zip?

Bro, put both the file into dload folder and boot at the same time?

Try install using Firmware Finder first. If you can't then install the 2 files via twrp.

Extract update.app from update.zip then copy to dload folder (SDCard). Do dload method. Once complete. It will return to system.

Now extract update.app from update.zip (B211 firmware) then copy to dload folder (SDCard). Do dload method. Once complete. Do factory reset. That's all.

I don't think you can upgrade nougat from EMUI 4.1. Find B211 full firmware or else install B180/B193

bro dexz,

i am wondering, could I buy you a coffee and get you to teach me how to do all these updates ah?

I believed many of us would appreciate if we could meet you for once, face-to-face, to get your expert guidance.

what do you say?
*
I'm ok with that but I don't think I got the time. My weekends are with my family. My weekdays are with my employer smile.gif

P/S: Every night is with my part time job.
