A little help with upgrading via FF please - WAS-LX1AC432B187

[Blinkydamo]

Hi all,

Phone is from EE UK and I am trying to use FF to upgrade to Oreo and having no luck at all. I have tried the in-app proxy on multiple versions and all download find but the update page says "checksum error" every time.

I have also tried using the auto DNS option and this finds an update but fails to download it every time. I have tried downloading with the VPN still connected and also disconnecting the VPN and then hitting the download button. Neither works.

Is it possible to update my phone to Oreo or not? If it is could someone please let me know what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,

Blinky

Some firmware's work and some don't, try all the ones that are available for you. You can always wait and you should receive the Oreo update soon or you can try the HwOTA method

Also try removing any updates to the 'System Update' app as that can be the cause of the checksum errors. I managed to get a UK unlocked phone to B203 via the VPN route by doing that and then got automatic upgrade to Oreo.
