I bought my Mate 9 from Dubai and had it shipped to Australia. I enquired about the firmware update with customer service in both Australia and UAE. Currently on MHA-L29 C185B110 See response below....

Pertaining your inquiry about the firmware update, kindly be informed there is no firmware update available for your device at this moment. For your information, the firmware update for the device is based on region and phone that is tied to operator/carrier (lock phone) or unlock phone. Hence the delivery time may differ and some region may not get any update or late update (may due to operator/carrier decision if phone is a lock unit or customization of firmware by operator/carrier).If there is any update, it will be available through the Updater in the phone settings. Please be advised not to download firmware from different region as it will render the phone to be malfunction. Please be informed that we have limited information when it will release.

The Mate 9 has only just been released here in Australia so I will wait and see if an update comes....

Hi. I've got one L29c185b110 purchased at Dubai. But I can not get OTA update. I'm living in Brazil. How did you do it ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Do you have a middle east sim card? If yes just put it in ur phone even if it's dead sim and try to update via wifi.

Or try to register a middle east huawei id and change region in hicare application to middle east.

Or use funkyhuawei.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsinet:
Register a middle east and use hicare doesnt work.

Which one works for you ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I'm in middle east and have sim card from here.

In hicare did you tried os early adopter?

And in system update click the 3 dots and update full package can help sometimes.

And last solution is a factory rest maybe,but don't blame me if it didn't work for you.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsinet:
Can you tell me where can I buy a sim card from middle east carrier ? Ebay, some carrier website ? Tks.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Sorry I don't know maybe someone else can help you.not sure if ebay has middle east sim cards.

Try to Google.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsinet:
One more question.

I'm not able to link my mate9 mha-l29c185b110 on my Huawei id. When I ask for send verification SMS code my phone does not receive it. My carrier is TIM and I'm from Brazil. Could you help me?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Try to resend the code again and maybe reboot ur phone or use ur email to register instead of phone number.

Anyone has tried Firmware Finder and be succeed? Mine I can download it, md5 passed and update.app copied to dload folder. When recovery starts I get "The update package does not exist" message. I'm trying with mha-l29c185b126 fula on my Mate 9.

Not need to blame Firmware Finder. It was Huawei. They don't allow install roms via dload folder (roms are signed as online_update and it is showstopper)

Mate 9 mono sim

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask a question on Mate 9, I bought the Mate 9 branded Vodafone Italy, and I discovered that it is not dual sim, but mono sim, you think you can turn it into dual sim, as before? If you change the software, you can turn it into dual sim? Thank you all for your attention.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ing.King:
I have same question, have only single Mate 9 but would love to use two sims.

So conversion from MHA-L09C432 to MHA-L29C432...

The problem is IMEI, duraaraa wrote that after using FunkyHuawei and installing dualsim firmware for second sim there is empty IMEI or let´s say unusable.

Hello everyone, I use ...C432B126 rom. In an other forum my friends find an app (Huawei Firmware Finder (team MT)) and they get B138 update. However, someone update his phone to B138 but his rom did not change (still B126). I also try this way for updating B138. Is that way correct? than what happened my friend's phone? What should ı do, Should i try update?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
IMHO, no!

This update was cancelled by Huawei. They are working on new update (by info from other XDA topic).

Check kernel version's date. If you have Dec 15, you are on B138 (even if you have different build number)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Sniper-:
Thanks your attention :) My kernel version date Nov. 27. My phone downloaded the B138 but i did not start the installing of update. What should i do right now?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Sniper-:
my phone download the B138 update and show me the "fast update" option in system updater app and ı have not "find update" button anymore. What should i do? If ı try update my system maybe it will do maybe it will not. Besides If it is happened (update succeded) my build number still seem B126 however, my kernel version will update. In this situation Am i be in wrong rom ( the complex of B126 and B138)? In a summary what must i do? (sorry my bad english)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
IMHO, don't install. This update is not stable. And there are not big improvements. I can not say anything that triggers to install except curiosity)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Sniper-:
Ok i decided to not install, thanks. But i have one more question: How i drop the update warn in my system updater app? I cannot search any updates this app because of having ready update.

Why there is no update for Huawei MHA-L29C900

I M STILL AT ANDROID 7
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
C900 was not a proper cust for any region and if you use FirmwareFinder or directly go to:

https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=MHA-L29c900

You will not find anything newer than Nougat from the mid of 2017

At that time c900 were some kind of 'international' firmwares but probably used by resellers who bought Huawei phones for Chinese market, rebranded them and sold around the world (c900 was also used for roll-back and some other stuff)

I can't guide you, I moved long ago from Huawei phones (and I never needed to rebrand my Mate 9, I had proper c432 cust and obtained latest Pie by OTA), but generally:

- You first need to unlock the Bootloader. Since you have ancient firmware, that shall be easy and cheap (it's complicated and expensive for Mate 9 already on Oreo from 2nd half of 2018 or any newer Pie)

Go to dc-unlocker:

https://www.dc-unlocker.com/

ask them in front, explain that your Mate 9 is still on Nougat (!), it should cost you cca 4-5 Euros.

Once you obtain Bootloader unlock code, save it to the safe place (not to the phone) - rebranding may relock Bootloader but you can always use that same code for the lifetime of your phone (once you upgrade to Oreo/Pie, code would be still valid but if you loose it you would have to pay 30+ Euros to other services to obtain the same code since dc-unlocker doesn't support newer Huawei firmwares)

- Read threads in Q/A and Guides section about using Fastboot to unlock Bootloader (if guides say to take the code from Huawei, that's no more possible for 2+ years, but you will use dc-unlocker)

- Probably you could find some threads about others who back then in 2017 or 2018 also had to rebrand from c900 to e.g. c432 (proper international cust with updates to Pie):

https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=MHA-L29c432

Once you rebrand to MHA-L29c432 you should be able to obtain OTAs (with proper SIM card in the phone) to Pie MHA-LGRP2-OVS-9.1.0.275:

https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=MHA-LGRP2-OVS

You may also find useful the guides by users with American SIM cards who got stuck with Oreo (even if already rebranded to c432), how they manually upgraded c432 to Pie

Good luck

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackspp:
With the new firmware it does, very good now, spot on in fact.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
They don't need to do that because the phone already has OIS, and the Google version of EIS was to somehow "emulate" the lack of it.

It has been proved in many videos and articles that this approach, even when is nice, at night it really struggles and it's not so fantastic after all.

;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trixanity:
Yes, the phone has OIS but most phones even with OIS use EIS as well. It's been shown in videos that the OIS doesn't work particularly well in video recording and would benefit from advanced EIS. Also, reviewers say that OIS isn't working when shooting 4K. So they need to address that.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
You guys could try using a VPN app and see if that helps speed things along. A solid free one I use is Opera VPN.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
What you said makes no logic, OIS is a hardware component and is always working, there is no way to disable or enable it. You mean EIS, which on most phones is not working at 4K.

;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trixanity:
I'm only quoting reviewers although disabling it doesn't make sense to me. Be that as it may: the stabilization isn't working properly causing a lot of shaking regardless of resolution. They might as well fix it it because they can do it. It might also improve the camera's ability to focus which it also seem to have trouble with when recording.

Edit: then again, I just checked the camera2 api and it does have a function to disable OIS, so maybe it isn't so dumb after all.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
You can't disable OIS as I said, is a hardware component and the camera is built on it, but I guess you don't even know what OIS looks alike, so I leave this video for you:

https://youtu.be/l5d2F6nP5MY?t=25s

As for the other things, most of the reviews around the world were make with pre-release software, and even Huawei put a little card on them saying this, so many of the issues will be addressed with the B126 which seems to be the final one, contrary on the B109SP02 which SP stands for "Service Pack".

;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albireox:
Unfortunately it doesn't work with vpn. Tried several vpn software including Opera, but still no update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
I didn't know about this part in the Camera2 API, but I'm not sure neither if Mate 9 implements it, because many companies just go with their own implementation for camera, but still it would be interesting how this can work. As far as I know, the OIS is based on a kind of "gyroscope" behavior with some magnets, being pure mechanical approach, but I'm not sure if there is a way to measure this through some controllers and being able to enabled or disabled.

:confused:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trixanity:
There is a microcontroller to handle the data otherwise the OIS module wouldn't know how to compensate exactly. It polls various sensors to gather data and uses it to counterbalance shake precisely.

Anyway even if Huawei doesn't use the camera2 API, I'm sure they have their own proprietary software and hardware to handle it.

In any case: I am well aware that it was (and for some still are) pre-release software. However, I'm highly critical of that. It took them almost a month after launch to make the device ready for prime time. They gave reviewers a quite unfinished device with the message it would be better (which is not uncommon but the state of unreadiness was quite more severe than what is usual IMO) and all reviews will show poor camera performance (and all the other launch problems) and probably won't be edited to show the improvements. So all these reviews that potential customers look up will make them choose another device even if the review states it's pre-release software. What's worse is that they actually put a phone with pre-release software in the hands of customers and some of them for weeks. That's unheard of in a flagship device to my knowledge and is quite unprofessional if you ask me. It's not uncommon to have a OTA update on day 1 but weeks after the fact? That's bad.

I will get mine in less than three weeks so I won't have that problem, so you could say I'll avoid any bad first impression (hopefully). So why am I still giving them my money? Because it's still a great device but it could be even better if they continue to tweak their software in various aspects and if they release timely updates. Also, that Huawei had the stones to release an Android flagship in my area - that weighs heavily for me. I'd like to support that kind of risk they took by launching it here. So that's why I'm still buying it but that doesn't mean I won't critique what they can do better or should have done differently.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stefanve:
I think the camera is more in line with the Samsung look now, which I don't like, to much sharpening to much over saturated. Also defaults to hdr (when it is dark) unless you choose pro mode. Hope that they give a Leicester option which brings back a better version of the old look. And the auto white balance is still rubbish.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

It depends on the implementation by Huawei if this is supported. It could be the case that they can't switch it of.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trixanity:
That could very well be possible. A poor decision, but possible. Especially with pro modes and other advanced controls: the more control both the auto modes and the manual modes have, the better the result (or at least in regards to possibilities).
