Updated my Mate 9 pro successfully

[MENTION=7483530]wolewo[/MENTION]
[MENTION=7396293]Grigorijs[/MENTION]

I sat Pro/Porsche ALL-TO-INTERNATIONAL LON-C636B139 and started to use eRecovery to flash this firmware.

It was downloaded correctly and installed successfully.

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] thank you for this amazing work around. However I've got few questions:

1- My build number remained the same and didn't change from LON-L00C00B156 to LON-C636B139. Is this normal?

2- Yes themes doesn't apply once downloaded (expected). Any work around.

3- For future OTAs how can I get them and If it's possible to get the OTA will it wipe my personal data.

4- If I get the bootloader unlocked would you be able to help me to rebrand it from A to Z.

5- I will be go through the rom to search for other things that doesn't work.

Hello,

Im trying to upload the new firmware by eRecovery. After going to eRecovery appears currently uploaded ROM and not Funkyhuawei.I have Mate 9 128GB 6Gb RAM and ROM MHA-AL00C00B156. I want to have a European ROM.

Could You help mi?

Successfully updated the European variant to L29C432B138. Many thanks for your work [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION].
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Punishere:
Hi all. Duraaa thx for your hard work. May I ask one question? When I have international C432 single sim L09 version with 126 firmware is it possible somehow to update with erecovery to 138. Idonated your work but when I try to instal update there is only one possibility with your Hisuite. This is because it is beta or? Thanx all for reply and help
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mslominski:
After eRecovery Ihave only "Download latest version and recovery. I do something wrong , but I dont know what.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Can you please be as specific as possible? At what percentage did this happen, etc?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
The short answer is, there is currently no way, except HiSuite.

The long answer is, I don't have enough sample data from L09 models to figure out the way to get an eRecovery update token from Huawei for unreleased versions. I have figured out the update token system for pretty much everything except European models. For some reason, Huawei treats European/C432 updates differently. I have the information I need to get earliest release of L29C432, but I don't know of anyone who received the L09C432 update yet, and I have never seen an eRecovery token for it. So it is still treated as a beta and installed with HiSuite.

It's the same situation for the LON-L29C432, actually.

If you know anyone who got the L09C432B138 update via OTA, please put me in touch with this person, and I can probably enable eRecovery install after getting some information from them.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Everything you described is actually normal. Those were the limitations that I was talking about for the Mate 9, as well.

You would need to use FunkyHuawei to get updates. If the current state of the phone is not good for you, just re-install the Chinese firmware and everything will be normal.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Right now there is not. In the future, there will be, along with a new payment system, simply because people who donate very small amounts end up costing me money in bandwidth, more than they donated. In many cases, people donate $0.01, which after paypal fee becomes $0.00. Obviously, these people don't really care about how much they cost me.

My current thoughts are that people who have donated smaller amounts may be cut off in the future, and asked to pay the difference to equal the amount I decide upon. A lot of time and money is put into running the service, so I need to balance the system well to keep people happy but also to generate enough money to keep going.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oweida:
It's ok I'm very happy about the update but what about the future OTAs would I be able to install them using your method without loosing my data?

Secondly any comments what I can do with unlocked bootloader any thing you can offer ?

and one thing more If I use someone else's Hicloud info's who logged > 14 days would it make it possible to get the unlock code earlier/sooner ?!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Punishere:
Ok many thanks for answer. So if I hear about someone who get ota L09 i ll get you an echo. But may I ask one more question about hisuite update? When i do it to 138 firmware will I receive OTA normally or i ll need to use your site to upgrade to an another firmware number? I download firmware findere from playstore and there are 2 version of 138 for L09 ota and full so with your hisuite i need to redownload and install full or? Sorry for misunderstanding but this is my first huawei phone (previous i had note edge). But anyway nice work
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albireox:
Thanks for your answer. How about those who have donated, let's say $10, they'll also need to donate in the future for being able to update their phone with funkyhuawei?

LE: after reading your answer again it seems so...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes, you need to download and install full.

When you do a HiSuite update, the phone will be updated to the new version, but it will not say so in the settings/about phone, because of a limitation in HiSuite. Otherwise, you can check things like the kernel build date and things and you will see it was updated.

When a future update comes out, you will need to use FunkyHuawei to install it. Each time, you'll need to download the full version. Once a version comes out which is approved for install in eRecovery, you would be able to get OTAs and so on normally -- it's just the HiSuite versions that probably will not let you OTA, because they might be betas. Until Huawei actually pushes the update, we can't know if it's a beta or a final release. If I can get an eRecovery token, we can presume it's a final release.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If I decide to implement a payment system with a bottom limit and that limit is over $10, I will let the users who donated $10 know how much more they need to pay, but their $10 will go toward that. If I decide on $30, they will be asked to pay $20 more. If I decide on a $10 a month subscription fee, their first month will be covered. I still have to look into how I want to charge to keep it most reasonable. Hopefully, that makes sense.

I still haven't decided how I want to handle it, but I will be supporting all Huawei phones, not just the Mate 9, and expecting much more users and traffic, so I need to do something to keep up with that, because the time and money I invest in the service will grow greatly. I'm open to ideas.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cabtouch:
Hello Gabriel

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you could install the stock C605 firmware if the duraraa can put this version as one of the options in FH.

Good luck
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Send me a private message with the name of your paypal account. I can help you restore the phone. I will be a bit busy, but should be able to help you beginning around 10AM-11AM Japan time. If it's easier for you, you can write to me in Portuguese, I can understand it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Did you choose the LON-L29C432 firmware? If you chose that, you need to use HiSuite.

If you chose the All-to-Int'l firmware, it should have worked. I suggest you try the LON-L29C432 firmware and flash with HiSuite.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I've got a question for anyone with older Huawei phones like P9 or Mate 8. Would FunkyHuawei be useful for those phones? I don't have a device to test, but I hear that once you install Nougat, it becomes like the Mate 9. I've been preparing an update to FH to support all Huawei phones, but is this something that people will actually find useful, or is it not worth the time?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
How about a little bad news?

Huawei has revoked the signatures for MHA-C185B138, so it is no longer possible to install that update via eRecovery, as of right now.

I am looking for a work-around currently, so I will keep everyone posted, but it looks like Huawei might be on to my tricks :(

Note: Currently, only the MHA-L29C185B138 is affected. It might be because there was a bug/issue with the update and Huawei pulled it. Can't be sure.

Change Firmware

Hello together,

i changed my firmware from chinese to europe.

1. At the moment there is no way to unlock my bootloader in chinese phone and install twrp, right ?

2. Updates dont work OTA - i can only use Hisuite for updates, right ?

3. Can i update my chinese phone in hisuite with new european software if any is released ?

4. Is there any way to completely change chinese phone version to european, so it is like i buy the phone in Europe ?

THANKS A LOT

Best regards.

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]

I successfully downgraded from C432B138 to C432B126 so thanks for that (my battery life got significantly worse with B138)

on a side note, I have contacted Huawei Croatia and they said that B126 is latest and also something about bugs in B138 so that's why it was not approved in Croatia (maybe they were just saying to get rid of me).
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You will need to get the bootloader code from Huawei support. Then, tehre is a way to completely change the phone to European.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mslominski:
Hey,

It seems to me that I was doing everything correctly, but still can not get in eRecovery Funkyhuawei Rom. Do you have any totorial, I do not know what to do. I have the correct DNS.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
A big announcement. FunkyHuawei now has a third installation method. Please use this installation method only for 'eRecovery' updates. You no longer need to change DNS on your Wifi router!

Instructions:

1. Download the latest version of HiSuite from here:

http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91063&version=355249&siteCode=cn

2. On your PC, set the DNS settings to 37.114.61.203 -- OR, edit your Windows hosts file to read:

37.114.61.203 query.hicloud.com

37.114.61.203 funkyhuawei.com

3. Go to FunkyHuawei.com, and choose the version you wish to install as usual.

4. Run HiSuite, and plug your phone in. Enable USB debugging on your phone. Click Update, and go ahead and install the update.

The update will then install.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If you have trouble with eRecovery, please try the new method.

For eRecovery problems, in general, you need to make sure your DNS is correctly set on your wifi router, and that the update you chose corresponds to your phone's version.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
Hi [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] First. Thanks for your outstanding work. I haven't used your services yet but is there a way to just make a direct donation via paypal? Once the North American version is out I'd like to rebrand my Chinese version as such. Hope that can happen.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Don't want to flame or anything but potentially debating to raise the "donation" fees to 30 dollars is something that I find outrageous and not in terms with the original spirit of xda. I have personally decided to donate more than 10 dollars out of my free will. I doubt the server will cost you that fortune (I might be wrong) and as far as the time invested is concerned, I think you will find thousands of developers right here who have been around for years and never asked for one single donation. This is just my two cents and not intended to insult you or the things you offer.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
The server doesn't cost a fortune, of course, but buying test devices to make sure that devices other than the Mate 9 work correctly does. This is one of the main reasons I have been considering scaling up -- the devices are not cheap, and I don't want to have people brick their devices by using something I can't be sure will work.

Regarding time investment, I think it's just a matter of personal philosophy. There are many days where I spend 12 hours working on FunkyHuawei. I can't justify spending that time on it as opposed to spending time on my company, on my children, etc., unless there is a way in which spending this time will improve our lives. Unfortunately, the technical complexity of keeping up with updates, finding the signing tokens, playing cat and mouse with Huawei, testing new installation methods, searching for new firmware, etc., requires a lot more time than I could do as a simple hobby.

On the other hand, I understand that many people will be as outraged as you, so it puts me at a crossroads where I decide to either invest a lot more into making FunkyHuawei a tool which, although it would cost money, would be useful to many more people, or I scale back my financial/time investment and let it go on as it is. There's no correct choice and no wrong choice, but scaling up is much more exciting than leaving it as is. The very fact that it could be perceived as outrageous is the reason I don't just implement it, but instead discuss it. Still, you can use it for free, or have a guaranteed slot for a minuscule donation. But I don't think that I can afford test devices and broaden the scope of the tool if I continue with these circumstances.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
and then there is sunshine tool that is 25USD per phone by a great dev. is it also outrageous?

you are mixing oranges and apples, about development and about tools/services.

and you don't understand how this works obviously, and yet find it outrageous. well do it for free then.

this is just my 2 cents.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] me7tarfeek:
Keep doing what you are doing. Your work is just great and it saved my dead phone...

So, to support what you are doing, i decided to donate again just to say thank you....
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
The positive feedback is much appreciated!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Whilst I appreciate [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] detailed and reasonable reply I could do less with the above reply (@Nisam_Mate). Apparently, after so many years spent on XDA with, reading, replying and publishing I needed your (how long have you been around?) explanation to get things straight.

Thanks for your apples/oranges comparison, which itself is extremely arbitrary and actually makes little sense: you pick up one name where I could mention thousands of people who offer their work (be it development/offering service) for free. Still, I am not saying that this should be done for free. You entirely missed my point.

Think for a moment before you post a reply: would I have donated if expected free service?

I just do not want XDA to turn into a marketplace where people advertise their tools/services. Enough said, I think we can continue the normal thread topic since I believe [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] (hopefully) got my point.

[MENTION=3536353]mrmad23[/MENTION]

my apologies, am not going to hijack this thread. I just expressed my opinion as you did yours (and was / am active on XDA for many years under another username with many thanks and helping people, but fail to see how this is relevant, I recently donated 100USD to devs in HTC10 section which I got as cashback from HTC and much more).

if you need any proof about my activity let's continue in PM, didn't mean to offend you, just felt you were comparing oranges to apples.. and that there is certain cost in this to [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] to maintain this service. this is not something you put on AFH for free and if someone donates all good if not all good also.

I donated and will donate again to [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] and expect downloads to be as fast as possible and will not share my PayPal with others.. that's why I suggested there is a fee per IMEI for this kind of tool/service.

peace,

Can I downgrade from C636B138 to C636B136? Is it safe to do so?

I am experiencing problem with battery on B138 and I am suspecting it's related to the new build.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes, it's possible. Do a factory reset first from the settings menu, and use the eRecovery method.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] winginsky:
I don't want to reset the phone .. it will be painful to backup and restore everything ...

you could use http://funkyhuawei.club/images/FunkyHisuite.zip

But you need to do something about your DNS settings... they are pointing to the wrong place.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
In many cases downgrading requires a full reset. Actually, a full reset *might* help your battery problems, too.

You can try without, but if you get a boot loop, you'll have to flash B138 again, then factory reset and downgrade again.

The Chinese version will most definitely be rebrand-able as the North American version, but we need to get our hands on the North American firmware, and I have to discover what tricks are necessary to get it to install, so it might be a while. We will also need some cooperation from someone with an American model and an unlocked bootloader. Because of the interesting announcements of Alexa support and so on, it's a big priority for me, but for now, we must wait for firmware.

China to euro flash

Hello,

Im having an issue when flashing china to euro using erecovery. The flashing executes successfully, but once the phone is on I see a dark screen and home button is unresponsive. I am currently on firmware AL00.B156. Any help would be appreciated; thanks for taking the time out to do this OP.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I think you need to go to recovery and do a wipe of the data and cache. If that doesn't work, re-flash the Chinese firmware, and do a factory reset from the settings menu, then try again.

Hi duraaaraa - i have donated $30 to your paypal account.

I am in the process to update my Pro Firmware to B139 through ro/Porsche ALL-TO-INTERNATIONAL LON-C636B139.

I have dl the latest HiSuite from the link you have provide, and i got a notification that there is a new FunkyHuawei Update for me. I have clicked download and its been 0% for the past 10 minutes.... Is there an issue with the server and the download speed or am i not doing something right?

PS. I have unplugged the phone, shut down HiSuite and now it seems to work... its downloading....

PS2. All done!!

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_chinaman:
$30? Is that the cost to flash the firmware or a donation? If it is optional then fair enough. If the 'donation' is required to access the facility then that is an absolute disgrace, completely at odds with the philosophy and ethos of XDA.

This isn't craigslist. It's a forum of like minded people and not money grabbing grubs. Hopefully this is an honor system for payment and not an actual requirement for it to happen. Maybe the OP can clarify?
