How to install huawei firmware?

[Merlin_99]

Hi everybody, I'm a new p20 lite user and I want to ask you: do you know how to install a original firmware? I've tried to follow the dload method (so I put the update.app file into the dload directory that it's located in the external sd card) but the installation process stops at 5%. I found the update.zip file using firmware finder, the firmware I want to install it's avaiable for me (I checked the imei) and I tried with ota and full ota. Maybe I have to unlock the bootloader or root my device before? If someone need my actual build is ANE-LX1 8.0.0.145(C432).

Check somehow if this post can help you:

- 1, 2, 3 and 4 should work without unlock bootloader.
- 5 and 6 is a must unlock bootloader.
- dload folder is not working with this firmware. Dload folder still working but I don't know how to find that specific firmware (dload package).

Ok thank you for your replay. I took a look at the post. I've tried to install the firmware using huawei firmware finder (proxy and dns methods) but nothing to do. I have a question for the Huawei eRecovery method of your post: there's no way to not wipe user data? Because for me it will be annoying. Anyway, why if huawei finder tell me a firmware is approved, then via ota there are no one updates??

Nowadays FF is not working as did in the past, I hope it be fix soon.
No, is not possible, to install via eRecovery always wipe data partition, at least I don't know how to avoid it.
That happened to me two days ago, I was running B148 and I find that B150 was approved for installation on the FF app, then I checked settings/system/ system update and no OTA there
To update firmware I'm been using HuRUpdater tool
