    • Hey, I just tried using my KIW-L21 and when I tried to install, it just says installation aborted. Probably because it detected that the model isn’t the same. Guess we just have to wait. Thankfully my phone didn’t brick

  6. i tried to make it but it failed at 25% and there is no update.appv in the zip file

  7. Installation failed at 17% on my KIW-L21 (KIW-L21C432B140… :( I put it on the right folder and on the internal storage… Any tips?

    • The file is update.zip but inside it (firmware/image) there is an update.app (99.1MB). Should I unzip it first and use that one?

        • Well, tried it that way but it still didn’t work. This time it failed after 1% or so (almost instantly)…

          Guess I’ll have to wait for Huawei to grace me with the OTA update… :/

    • KII is for KII only. It will not work on KIW because of some lines in updater script. It is for KII-21. When you updating it. It will automatically read the script and check your phone’s build.fingerprint which is KIW but in the script its KII. So no chance at all my friend.

      Sorry for my bad english.

  8. It will not work on kiw-21.you guys reach till 17% right? Because the build.fingerprint of the update file is for kii not for kiw. So wrong information that it is working in kiw. Sorry guys
