Thanks, I will try it.

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Can't agree more.

I failed many times yesterday, and then I realize it may related to not wiping correctly.

It is import to wipe system and cache after factory reset for B125. And you should also wipe system and cache when you finish updating to B106 or B109SP01.

But the odd is some people (include me) can't update to B109SP01 after finishing updating to B106. My device always failed in approximately 80% when updating to B109SP01. But I and some person can succed in booting device and use it. And if someone is same to me. You should reset your DNS and check for updates and HUAWEI Server will give your B109SP01. (duraaraa's DNS would give you a incorrect update though I don't know why)

If you succed in downgrading, you also need to

1. Settings -> Updater -> Update settings (click menu) ->disable "Auto-download over WLAN"

2. Settings -> Developer options (you need enable it first) -> disable "Automatic system updates"

If you updater have alread downloaded the new version, you can clear the data for updater app.

Some other notes:

1. If you try to update to B109SP01 and cancel the download, the duraaraa's DNS will give your B106SP, I have no idea why it will give you B106SP (Maybe this is actually B106, but I don't know). You can cancel the download and retry. Now it will give B109SP01.

2. If you phone boots loop and you should go back to B125 and start over. (as duraaraa said).

Many people in China succed in downgrading to B109SP01. (Someone created a Wechat Group Chat, so I know it).

Really thanks to duraaraa :good:!

Thank you very much for making the process so straightforward.

Last night I had the change to give it a shot, while I could not boot into eRecovery at first ;), I was able to figure it out.

Now the problem is, current download speed is extremely slow...it took me from 11:20 PM to 12:40 PM THE NEXT DAY (over 13 hours and 20')...to reach 94% and and a power outage ruined my download :crying:

I started over and it's slow again...:crying: :crying:

Do you have any idea how to fix download speed?

Thank you
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I adjusted it to download from China because most of the users are in China. That's probably why it's slow.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmazzamj:
So when you first released it was faster?

Thank you
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
What country are you in?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I am looking for someone who can donate a Linux/BSD VPS based in Europe or the Americas as a non-Asia mirror to improve download speeds. If you'd like to donate a VPS, please let me know!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
My friends, I have some even better news to share with you :)

I am very close to coming up with an even easier way to install B109SP01, and possibly european firmware on the Chinese Mate 9. More details to come if I'm successful.

Edit: Sorry to say, it was a failure so far.

The idea was to edit xml files to allow HiSuite to recover the Mate 9 in USB mode. That was successful, but the actual recovery fails, even though it's attempted. So unfortunately, we're still stuck with eRecovery and DNS servers.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmazzamj:
I'm in Italy.

I rebooted into eRecovery and it started downloading the 274 Mb update, so I booted the phone up, I factory reset the phone, back into regular recovery, wiped both and rebooted straight into eRecovery. 106 showed up.

I'm at 72% right now, it's been downloading for a little over 10 hours straight (of course).

Wish me luck...

Thank you

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

Thank you for trying this method.

I'm sure you will succeed!!

I recently bought another phone, so today i went to my device manager to delete my previous device from my device list when installing apps and, to my very surprise, I found out that several devices are missing from my device manager...and it does not recognise devices which were perfectly identified before...long story short, IT MAY BE A GLITCH!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SWBgHz:
Can anyone who has done this tell me if Google Voice works after this 'fix' for the Chinese version? By works I mean you can obviously install and run but also that you can set in GV to make all calls through GV and it work? I had a Mi Mix that worked for everything but it would not do the make all calls through Google voice, the dialer would start and just stop/crash unless i set GV to not make calls through GV.

My GV issue described: http://xdaforums.com/mi-mix/help/mi-mix-google-voice-issue-t3506686/page1

So I found a guy on eBay that has Chinese version with the B109SP01 firmware that will run Google Play services. This solves the issues, right? It is dual SIM and 128/6 GB (has other sizes too) so question is will this work or just not worth bothering with it?

Anyone have any thoughts on getting Chinese version (MHA-AL00C00B109SP01)? Google Play built in already, any other 'issues' with this version (US use)?

4G+32G version tested successfully!

Thanks a lot!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
That's what huawei's update server shows. There's no problem with that. For example, check out http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1356/g77/v66711/f2/full/filelist.xml and you'll see something.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Welfi_1988:
Hey Duraaraa,

Are you still working on getting eu-rom on the chinese phone?

Would really really help me if that would work :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hopperjp:
I'm a bit stuck

duraaraa, thank you very much for your thorough research and solution.

I've got a Chinese version 4GB - 64GB model and quite disappointed to find it lacks google frameworks.

So this thread gives me a great sense of relief.

Yesterday I followed this instruction and flashed MHA-AL00C00B106 first, and then MHA-AL00C00B109SP1.

I think I managed to do the DNS settings correctly, and it seemed to work, but finally it turned out bad and I had to revert back to B125.

So I have a question.

On step.2 of the instruction, it says

> **MAKE SURE THE USB CABLE STAYS PLUGGED IN TO YOUR COMPUTER**

and on 2. of Updated information, it says

> but it might help to wipe between installing B106 and installing B109SP01.

Does this mean that I have to do like following?

with USB cable plugged in and pressing both buttons, enter eRecovery mode

flash B106

after the installing finishes, plug out the USB cable and press both buttons while rebooting to enter recovery mode

wipe cache and data in recovery mode

after wiping finishes, plug in the USB cable again and reboot with two buttons pressed to enter eRecovery mode again

flash B109SP1

Or am I taking things too complexed?

I'm new to Huawei smartphones and any of your guidance or advice would be quite helpful for me.

Thank you all in advance.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It's not down to an exact science, but I'd recommend trying exactly what you mentioned.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It would really help me too! But unfortunately, it looks to be impossible until the bootloader can be unlocked. Hopefully someone can get it done, but I'm pretty close to giving up on being able to flash the EU rom -- we haven't even found a way to flash the EU rom on the EU hardware yet!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
A note to everyone: my server will not be around forever. Somewhere around December 1, I will be taking down the server (it's needed for other purposes). If you want to downgrade, please do it within the next few days. If anyone wants to keep it going on their own server, give me SSH access to a linux server with a static IP where you can let me have port 5 and port 80, and I'll move it somewhere else.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Welfi_1988:
Sorry for my ignorance, but why can't the bootloader be unlocked yet? Can't it be done as with any other Huawei phone, or are they holding back the unlock codes?

Haven't gotten the phone yet the ask a code
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Huawei asks people to wait for 14 days after logging into their huawei accounts, in order to be allowed to request a bootloader code. I don't think anyone has had the phone that long! I have had it about one week now, so in another 7 days I should theoretically be able to get a code.

The other solution, dc-unlocker, has zero support for the Mate 9 as of yet. I really hope they can get their software working on it, but I've heard they have yet to get a Mate 9 in their labs.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Welfi_1988:
Is that 14 days waiting period also there if you already have had an account before for another phone (P8 max)?

So when the bootloader is unlocked there shouldn't be any problems to flash the EU-rom (via recovery or twrp)?

Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this :good:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes, I think you have to wait 14 days regardless of having had a different phone before.

I managed to flash the cust partition of a non-Chinese firmware to the Chinese phone. However, this doesn't let me install the actual rom, unfortunately. I'm looking into disguising the full update as just a cust update so we'll see if I can do it.

Nice work!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Still not ready to release it because there are some missing components, but here's what it looks like right now:

http://imgur.com/a/1ONOF

As you can see, it's still recognized as a Chinese model, but it is indeed running real European firmware, with full Google support. Some things like Themes are missing (there is still the Themes app) and there are still a few Chinese apps as well. I'm looking into making it the full experience of the Euro model.

I'm also looking into a higher version number. Although it shows differently, it's running MHA-L29C900B115/MHA-L29C432B115 version.

In order to make this solution public, I am going to need to use a full file server. The process is somewhat complicated, as well, and it might involve a little bit of luck. I am thinking about monetizing it to deal with the bandwidth (let me know what you think a good price is!), but if there's anyone who wants to try it out, please PM me, and please be understanding if I can't hook you up immediately.

Of course, bootloader unlock is not necessary :)

XDA can help you with a file server, depending on details. Send a PM to [MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION] :highfive:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes, but if I did that, I wouldn't be able to use it as an excuse to ask people for money!!

(All jokes aside, I'd need root access on a dedicated linux server/VPN with more than one dedicated static IP and enough storage and bandwidth to handle not only the XDA users, but all the Chinese users. Not so sure XDA has the free hook-ups for that.)

There is a new gms installer on hi-app. Anyone who hasn't downgraded to 109 should give it a try
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] svetius:
Trying it now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
The people on the Chinese forums have said it doesn't work. :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] svetius:
It works! It works!

Here is what I did:

- Download latest firmware from today, B135.

- Then download GMS Installer form HiApp.

- Uninstall any Google apps you have. Run GMS Installer.

- Reboot.

- Install Play Store from HiApp as usual.

It works!!!!

That's awesome! I will try! Maybe Huawei got sick of my work-arounds??
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] svetius:
I'm slightly worried about the security of this process, but fact that it just is a conduit to Play makes me feel a bit better.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipiny:
Chinese version can already install GMS-core

Chinese version can already install GMS-core, upgrade to B135 and install GMSinstaller by HiApp. Here is the link: weibo.com/1945906841/EjYxQySfO?type=comment#_rnd1480522786418 and club.huawei.com/thread-11246541-1-1.html
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SWBgHz:
I read that the awaited firmware, to move from pre-release status, is out. Version B126, curious when this hits for Chinese version and if it resolves the Google Play issues. Though, with the ability now to convert Chinese version to International version I suppose it is no matter.

I cannot read Chinese, can anyone explain this method? I have not heard of GMS/HiAPP before.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] edgy63:
Thankyou, it works.

But it finish to say : error rh-01

I have to delete data and cache of google each time to make it work again. The same for you?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigantz:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SWBgHz:
Nice. Mine is coming with the B109SP01 and working Play but will be nice to be able to update the firmware from pre-release state.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipiny:
GMS(Google Mobile Services) is a collection of Google applications and APIs that help support functionality across devices . Google play store(gmail/google+/youtube and so on) must rely on GMS.

HiAPP is Huawei application store, the equivalent of Google play store.

Only the B109SP01 has built-in GMS, version B106/B115/B125/B135 does not support google play store, but B135 can download and install GMSinstall form HiApp, Run GMSinstaller and reboot, then you can install play store from HiApp.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SWBgHz:
Ok, so out of box update firmware then from HiApp get GMS and install (I also have the APK) and then setup phone for regular use.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozgur.cetinoglu@gmail.com:
upgrade

I am on b109sp01. And have working Google apps. What is the procedure for me? Can I upgrade firmware without deleting anything to 125? And install GMS? Any experience?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SWBgHz:
It should be to do upgrade OTA, then after go to HiApp and get the GMS and install.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozgur.cetinoglu@gmail.com:
I upgraded first to 125...installed gms. But it can't run and said " version is too old" after that I checked system update . It showed 135 version to install.. I installed 135... than tried to run again gsm...it worked ..after I reboot ...all of the Google apps didn't run. I uninstalled all of Google apps....reboot..tried reinstall playstore from histore. Now playstore worked..and my Google accounts appeared without login. Than installed all of my Google apps. Some non Google apps didnt worked like very dependent one's to Google sevices . While checking all off the apps LinkedIn said that play services is to old end forced me to update... after the playservices update all of the apps can work without problem....wooollaaaaa
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Welfi_1988:
So B135 has OFFICIAL GSM support and working Google Play store and apps?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Welfi_1988:
Don't buy MHA-AL00 in Europe!!!

So bad news, I won't get my Mate 9.

The AL00 model doesn't have CE-certifications and is not allowed to be imported to Europe.

So if you have, like we here in Luxembourg, a strict customs office you won't get your phone... :crying:

They are either sending it back or destroying it!!!

Contacted Huawei if they haven't gotten any CE-certification papers but haven't been able to get anything until now. The customs office also didn't accept the papers for MHA-L29... :(

So be warned if you want to order one in Europe.

Silver lining is to wait and buy MHA-L29...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SWBgHz:
So the gist is first remove Google apps if present, upgrade to latest OTA (maybe more than one available), then GMS and update all apps and install stuff from there.

Hi

Did anyone have a chance to compare these models in person? I am mostly concerned about drawing with it and drawing apps. Naturally the win version will have more natural media app options. I am more concerned about the feel of it, things like brush lag and the parallax stuff between the models are important to me. I already have Samsung Note so I am used to drawing on screen but also I am a Wacom user and I am much interested in a mobile drawing pad option if you will.

Thou I do not have direct comparison of Android and Windows 10 version of this device, I do have both Samsung Galagy Note 10 (2014) and Windows version of Yoga Book.

I do realize that this is not what you ask but, according to you post, we are in similar situation (I am also using Wacom tablet in the office) and as you wrote: “mobile drawing pad option” is the exact reason I bought this device. So I could make a comparison of these 2 devices if it helps. Let me know.
