So made a donation...started the download for the firmware on c626 and then it stops at 21% as my whole network goes down. Had to hard reset everything to get back up and now seems the domain is down....any solutions?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Ah yes. This is why I lost my last job as proof reader. Apologies
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] adarwis:
The result is the same :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Please run this command

nslookup funkyhuawei.com

Let me know the result.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If download of C626 stopped at 21%, it is either due to some failure with Huawei's server, or some failure with your network. I think since you said everything went down, some kind of failure with your local network is the most likely culprit.

I checked the server logs for funkyhuawei and didn't see any indication that the server went down, so I don't know what to tell you, except please try again. The domain is not down, everything is working normally, right now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cezeff:
GLBB just called me and let me know...network issues...smh..thanks for the quick response though...glad to see you still active on xda after all this time..think i remember from back in the days trying to get docomo galaxy phone developments...or i might be getting old and losing it...bout to give c626 another shot...instructions are very clear...

UPDATED: Its back to downloading. Just one question. Reading through the forums, i think it was stated dont cancel the download or there will be an error. to wipe the cache first. after wiping the download starts where it left off at 22%...is that normal?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It's likely the install will fail if you resumed the download mid-way. You have to wipe not only the cache, but the data as well. You can try resuming, but don't be surprised if it fails. If it fails, just wipe everything and try again.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cezeff:
best to be on a clean slate anyway...wiped and it is downloading..will look to donate more once everything is up and running smooth...thank you for the time, effort and hardwork...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Announcement: Preliminary support added for the Mate 9 Pro/Porsche added. Please only flash LON- firmware if you have a Mate 9 Pro/Porsche, and MHA- firmware if you have a normal Mate 9.

Here is my result :

Non-authoritative answer:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Then, the issue is your DNS settings. The response with correct DNS settings is as below:

Name:	funkyhuawei.com

Address: 37.114.61.203
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] adarwis:
any suggestion ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Tell me exactly how you are setting your DNS, and maybe I can help. You are using a DNS server which is not FunkyHuawei's, so it must be set somewhere. I think you should go to your wifi router's WAN settings, and make sure you set the DNS to 37.114.61.203 Set the secondary DNS to something that won't work, like 1.2.3.4 or something invalid. Then try nslookup again.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paolo83:
Hi. First Thank for you better work.

I have a question : if I buy chinese version, with this tool can I switch into 100% european version? With working ota? I remember that mate 8 EU had a trick indipendent from rom like "sar reduce =yes" unto a file like build.prop. Now it is the same?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] adarwis:
Did it, ended up with the same result. Here is my DNS setting, mate
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Can you paste the results of

ipconfig /all
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You can do this, but it will be an adventure to obtain your bootloader unlock code from Huawei. To me, it is worth it to get 128GB of storage, and 6GB of RAM, so I did this.

You'll need to get the Chinese version, log into a HiCloud account, and remain logged in for 14 days. Then, you will need to contact Huawei support in Chinese to ask for your unlock code. They might take a while to respond, but eventually you will get it.

Once you get this code, contact me and I will help you rebrand to 100% European version.

I haven't looked into differences with build.prop, but you can be assured that OTA and everything else will work, same as if it was European version, as the OTA becomes available to the public, as long as you unlock bootloader and rebrand. I have extensively looked into this. Note that you can flash non-Chinese firmware to the Chinese model, without unlocking the bootloader, but many functions like OTA, themes, and others will not work correctly.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ray8426:
i also have same error after donated.

Your status: Your transaction ID was not found. Please make a donation if you wish to use the service. Any amount is fine.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Please pm me your name and the amount you donated.

Usually when someone has this problem, they are trying a name which is different somehow from the name they use on Paypal. I get your name directly from the paypal transaction, so make sure the name is the same. If you have trouble, PM me the name on your paypal account, the amount, and the date you donated, and I will tell you the correct name.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Will there be support for other Huawei phones like P9 and P9+?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quizo:
Finally got it to work lol. B136 loaded. When it booted huawei ota started to download a update as well. I should ignore this because it is the same as the update I just loaded through your method right?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tas7035:
duraaraa dont you have any other payment method because in my country paypal doesnt exist

People having trouble, have you actually clicked the

"Click here to make a donation and begin using the service"

Before trying? I had to do this before my paypal name worked
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I could support it but I thought that other than mate 9 you can flash from SD card.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Only full stock but not OTA.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
FunkyHuawei also only supports full stock. OTA would need Huawei SSL private certificate to make work.

This thread said more about "donation" ...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tas7035:
I cant donate, without donation server is always busy, how to try and use your service duraaraa???
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Sorry. Many users from China using the free account, and it goes very slowly for other people who donated, so I needed to limit its usage and prioritize for people who donated. I have not been monitoring how full it is, but I imagine off-peaks time for Chinese users would be the best time for it to be not crowded. If that isn't good for you, you said your country does not have paypal, so you could always send me a private message and explain the situation.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
True.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tas7035:
No matter what time is it, its always busy, ı sent you a pm.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Just my personal feedback for those interested: tried to update/flash from MHA-L29C432B126 to MHA-L29C432B138 and had to use HiSuite. All setup, did a backup prior to flashing and followed instructions thoroughly. And yes, DNS was setup properly as well.

Flashing failed at 5% in eRecovery.

Lucky enough the device would reboot eventually after a while.

For me this is not worth the hassle at the moment and I will wait for an official update and/or a more secure and straighforward approach.

Should have known...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Thanks for the feedback.. As i was waiting for the official update but at the same time considering this way.. But now i will wait.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
donated. no intent to use it, but still appreciate your work.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cezeff:
My personal feedback...withstanding from glbb dropping internet service during the beginning, this worked out perfectly fine...started the process before i went to sleep, woke up in the middle of the night and phone had flashed to c636b136...everything working wonderfully.................then a day later received ota update...lol...none the less, an easy to use process...will use it again if c636 doesnt get the quick ota update love...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Does this mean I hosted to b136? Anybody else having problems with themes on this build?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Could you give me some more information on what phone you have, what you flashed, and how you flashed it? I know you had a L29 before, but this is an L09?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Hi, flashed using hisuite method. C432b126 to new beta build
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You have an L09, not an L29, right? Because if that is a mismatch, you will lose themes, as well as version number.

Since a version did come out for the L09, I will add it to FunkyHuawei in about 5 minutes, so please wait about five minutes for me to add it, and then give it a try with the correct L09 version. Make sure what you actually have is an MHA-L09C432, and if it is, the themes and everything will work.

Edit: It's now available.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Hey, it's my fault. This is my other mate 9 which is an l09 model. I chose the wrong version. Forgive me
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cezeff:
would seem OTA after flashing c636136 is just the same version , build and features...no problems...good to go....
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If you have the DNS set to funkyhuawei, whatever version you selected will also show as an OTA at all times. No need to install it. Just change your DNS back.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
Will HiSuite method wipe the phone?

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION], will following the HiSuite method to flash MHA-L29C432B138 wipe the phone data (factory reset)?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It won't wipe the phone data. But still, it's always best to have a backup and be prepared to wipe just in case.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Just an update. We had a short outage, unfortunately, for a short while today, but everything is back up and running as of now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

After donation im not able to use erecovery mdthod.please anyone help
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Hmm, reading about various people updating without a problem I gave it another try with MHA-L29C636B136. Here is the error message I received when trying to install :

"Server temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

I disabled wireless connection and was able to install the update. However, of course, the new build number, is not displayed.

http://imgur.com/ZeirS7w
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Let us know ur overall feedback about the update.. Is it more stable? No freezing? In general everything
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
I flashed the update one or two hours ago. There is not much that you can expect within such a short time period. I have not noticed any groundbreaking changes so far.

The phone used to be very snappy and still is.

I am quite new to the Mate 9 (have had it since Christmas) so I might not even be aware of existing bugs. If there is anything specific you would like to know I can check that for you and report.

My general impression is that this is probably the best device to get coming from a Google/ Nexus in terms of speed. Devices/OS like Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge feel laggy in direct comparison. Cameras (and functions) are top-notch and so much better than your glossy, "they look good on my display" pictures you take with so many other devices.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hausmanis:
Okey so yesterday i tried to root my EU Mate 9, i unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP but when rebooting the phone everything except google services works and without google services its well kinda useless phone.

Anyone know why that happend ?

Trying to recover the phone with FunkyHuawei now, downloading package from erecovery as we speak.

Silly question now but how do i manually boot into TWRP ? trying the volumeup and down together with power button but it dosnt work, am i doing it wrong ?

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

btw what firmware should i choose when i want to flash EU firmware on a EU mate 9 ?

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

So i tried to install various firmwares now with funkyhuawei but i still only get boot loops after installing, is there away to lock the bootloader and or flash stock recovery again ?

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

I just installed MHA-L29C432B122 on my EU mate 9 witch i do belive is the correct firmware for me ? i watched the entire process and it downloaded and installed perfectly.

But when the phone reboots, the huawei logo and the sound starts playing but the sound breaks at like 80% played and then it reboots to erecovery again, what can i do ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Reboot to stock recovery and do factory reset.volume up plus power, when you see the logo release the power button.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hausmanis:
Ok so i now managed to flash stock EU firmware again so the phone is working fine BUT bootloader is locked again.

I dont get how you unlock the bootloader cause when i unlock the bootloader you then flash TWRP and then reboot the phone, but the phone automaticly enters recovery mode and recovers into a version that dosnt got google services, its impossble to root this thing ?

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]

hm, changed DNS on my computer and not router and it seems to download is in progress, do you think it will work? I am trying to update C432B126 to C432B138.. will themes and future OTA's work OK?

(donation finally went through, thanks for your hard work).

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
You need to unlock bootloader again and flash twrp and root.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It seems you installed it as an OTA. It's possible to do that, but I don't recommend/support it. I recommend you install that update from eRecovery, which you enter by holding the volume up key and having usb plugged in upon boot. If you do that, the build number will be correct in settings.

Failed updating MHA-L29C432B138 with HiSuite

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] I followed all instructions to the letter for installing an unauthorized firmware (MHA-L29C432B138) using HiSuite. Download went just fine (funky tool did patch the update at the end), decompress just fine, but when installing, the progress remained 0% for about half an hour, and then ended up saying the restore had failed.

I am using the modifed oeminfo to rebrand from Asia (C636) to Euro (C432). Not sure if this has anything to do with the failure but thought of pointing it out.

Could you please help me figure out what happened? I also saw you had a small outage yesterday, but not sure if at the described point this failed your server would still play a role here. As usual, thank you for your help and wisdom.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Make sure that you have C432B126 installed, and that you are using the FunkyHisuite from this link: http://37.114.61.203/images/FunkyHisuite.zip

Also, make sure you are using the version of HiSuite that I linked to in the main post.

There is a certain stage where the phone reboots into the USB recovery mode. If there is a delay at that stage where the computer's percentage goes up but the phone's doesn't, there is a driver issue, and you can unplug and re-plug the phone.

If you keep having this problem, zip the log folder in c:\users\YOURUSERNAME\appdata\local\hisuite\ and upload it, and pm me the link.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
Thanks, I did all that [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] , all the right tools, versions, etc. I will try again tonight and post my outcome. If needed then I will collect the log. QQ, the funkytool, when done, says press enter to close, but that is right at the end of the download stage. Should I wait for the entire process to complete to actually close the funkytool or can it be indeed closed right after it says it is done?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You don't need to wait to close it, so that wasn't the issue. I'm thinking it was most likely a driver issue, because of how long you said it was at 0%, but I need the log to be sure.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
yes, the same here as above, failed at 5% and ADB driver didn't install correctly (Windows 7) :( will try again

here is log I can not probably post links yet

h t t p :// w w w .filedropper.com/log_15
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
Upon restarting the process, will it download the whole thing again or does it look for the previously downloaded zip file? It is there, compressed and decompressed versions, so I wonder if it is smart enough to do that (or maybe a way to force it to do that). Thanks [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It will look for the previously downloaded file, as long as you make sure the same version is selected in FunkyHuawei. But it will decompress it again. One thing you do want to do, however, is if there is an update_temp folder in the Documents\HiSuite\ROM\FunkyHuawei folder, delete that update_temp folder before trying again.

But I will say, sometimes when the phone boots into rescue recovery mode, the driver is not found correctly, and this could very well be the cause of your problem. So I think you need to try again to rule that out. Generally when it fails, it fails immediately, not after 30 minutes of doing nothing.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
tried again, deleted update_temp, rom didn't download again.. I unplugged cable right after decompressing and plugged in again, it rebooted to recovery and Device Manager correctly installed ADB and HDB driver, now on Installing system.. hope all will finish well..

thanks [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
Good advise, thanks. The folder has been deleted. Creating a backup as I do have some time to do this right now, specially if it will not start the download again.

I am hopefull this beta release will fix my notifications problem as it says it deals with some "battery issues". Let's see. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
all done and am on L29C432B138, thanks a lot..

just a quick question, will I receive OTA's (coming from L29C432126 -> L29C432138) or will have to go through the process again?

all the best in 2017.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
Not my case, it seems to be stalling again on 0%. I even disconnected and connected again as you said. It has been on 0% for about 10 min now. Did yours start showing progress right after the unplugging?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
after plugging it back in, after a minute or so it went to recovery.. sent log to duraaraa as he asked..
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
Well yes, it has been 20 min now of 0% (ouch!). How is the view from the other side? Is it nice? Haha
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
tried the usual things, restart computer, change USB port, etc.? well nothing new I see on the other side :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
OK finally! 57% by now (much further than the 5% I got upon failing the first time). You read my mind, I have a Surface Pro 4 and have it hocked up to a surface dock, to which the usb cable was connected to. I unplugged it from there and plugged directly into my only USB port on the surface, and about 5 min later it went into rescue mode.

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Success! Lesson learned, one should always plug in directly to the computer. Maybe an update for the guide [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]?

Great. I'm glad it was successful.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Once B138 is officially released, I would recommend installing it via eRecovery so the version shown in settings is correct. After that, OTA should theoretically work.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
thanks.. for the info, 15USD donated today, another 15USD will when PayPal stops being a pain in the as s s..
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Why are they taking so long to release C432B138? Could it be beta only? 153 for AL00 has been out officially for ages! Kmt
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] just had 2 quick questions for you!

I just received my MHA-L29 w/ build number L29C636B110. OTA says no updates are available. I live in the United States, and would like to use and donate to your service to get my device updated now, and in the future. I don't plan on unlocking my bootloader yet, but I may in the future. This is my first Huawei phone, and I am unfamiliar with its recovery process.

1. I'm confused by the eRecovery method. I will change the DNS in the router, then visit your website from my phone browser, correct? Does the update/firmware download from the phone's updater in settings, or do I download this on my PC? You mentioned having the USB cable plugged in - plugged in to what, and for what? You say try to recover from inside the recovery - what exactly do you mean?

2. Can I go straight from B110 to the latest update, or do I need to flash each update in chronological order?

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You set the DNS on your WiFi router and then use your phone or pc to choose which update you want. I would recommend B126 for your phone. Then use eRecovery by holding the volume up button while restarting the phone and you will be able to load the firmware that you had selected.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Makes sense, thank you!

Would there be any benefit to flashing the European firmware instead of the Asia based firmware? If Huawei releases in the U.S. in January like they're rumored to, I'd certainly want to flash that I'm assuming.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
There isn't a huge difference between them. So far, it seems the European firmware gets updates faster, is all.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Now I'm a bit confused again. Your OP references Euro & Chinese phones. Is my phone considered Chinese since C636 is Asia, or is it considered an Asia phone? And if I flash it with a European firmware, will I have those issues of losing themes, updates, etc.?
