If you have C636 it's not Chinese. It's an international model, with google. So I think for you there's no need to flash European firmware. You should run C636B136 for now, and update when C636 updates come out.

If you flash European firmware, you will lose some functionality, unless you unlock the bootloader and rebrand. But that could cause your warranty to be voided for very little benefit.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk2641:
Speaking of, can I use eRecovery to flash my C636B136 to C432B126 in order to get updates faster? Also, will OTAs come in as normal?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You can flash it, but updates and themes and other things will not work unless you unlock the bootloader and turn your phone into a C432. If you want to do that, get your bootloader unlock code and PM me for details.

That being said, I don't think it's bad to stay on C636.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
So I got a little confused after seeing someone else's screenshot on here. I assumed I had to download the package while inside the OS, then reboot to eRecovery to install it. Not so. Totally new to me, but you have to use the vol up + power keys to get into eRecovey (adb reboot recovery is not the same thing) and then you select the option to download/recover or whatever. From here, the phone actually connects to WiFi and downloads the package within the recovery! Was not expecting that. So I basically downloaded it twice for no reason... anyway, the speed for donors is great. Inside the OS it downloaded very quickly at 6+MB/s for most of it. Inside eRecovery it seemed maybe a little slower.

Fashed and updated just fine for C636 from B110 to B136. Thank you for taking the time/effort to do this. Personally, I think everyone could donate AT LEAST $1 per use unless there is a circumstance where they cannot as you described... simply because this costs you money to provide!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
That's true. Someone did post a screenshot of downloading it as an OTA. For anyone looking in the future, read this guy's post well. You need to go into eRecovery, not download/install as an OTA, for things to work correctly.

I've made donation already but somehow I cannot get to firmware page or flashing page, Paypal Transaction ID: 1GD32379AD203064N.

Please help and tell me how I can flash the phone. I have Mate 9 MHA-L29. Thanks

Hello,

I made a donation but can't access the page

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Added the following new firmwares:

MHA-L29C185B138

MHA-AL00C00B156

Both are HiSuite flash only. Flash C185B138 on top of B126, flash AL00C00B156 on top of B153.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Are we able to flash in eRecovery if we are rooted with modified systems (changing emojis, sound effects, bootanimation, etc.), or will it fail some sort of safety check?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Great!

What are changes with MHA-AL00C00B156 if you know? This region might overtake C432 as the most updated, doubt it though.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Actually the Chinese region has always been the most updated, but it's rather buggy especially if you want to do things like use Google apps or use a third-party launcher
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
There is no firmware page or flashing page. You choose the firmware you want to flash and enter your name from your PayPal account. Then you use eRecovery to flash it. Please check the instructions.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
The changes for MHA-AL00C00B156 are as indicated here:

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1356/g77/v71654/f2/full/changelog.xml

The changes for MHA-L29C185B138 are the same as they are for MHA-L29C432B138.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
The eRecovery updates, or the HiSuite updates, will obviously undo any changes you made to system partition, but they should be able to be flashed. I never modified the system partition myself, so I can't be sure. Please try and see what the result is.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Many thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
So you think B156 will be an official ota? Drives me mad not seeing the correct about info lol.

This Thread saved my life!!

FunkyHuawei rocksssss!

Have a Mate 9 Porsche Design, flashed TWRP (with open BL of course), Messed up my whole OS, after thousands of attempts to repair i got to this Thread and decided to give it a try. It rocks, got me back to Stock UI and now my device works like charm. I cannot thank enough duraaraa, it made a phone of my brick, thank U man!!!

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

had the same problem, just wait a few minutes and it will work, you just have to use the same Name you use on Paypal. Try to donate again but don't just close the Paypal site and go back to download if you already donated and used the right name it works like charm
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Most likely, you are not entering the same name as the paypal name. For example, someone might think their paypal name is "John Smith" but actually it's "John Smith & Friends Mopeds, Scooters, and ATVs, Inc." or some other business name. Other times, someone tries to put the name "Sergei" but really in paypal it's "Sergey" -- In another case, someone's name has an accented/non-standard letter like á or ã or ø or similar, and they don't enter it the same way as they do on Paypal. If you are confused about your paypal name and it's not working, please send me a PM. Let me know when you made the donation, and how much it was, and I will look up your name.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You're welcome! That's why the tool exists!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I don't think it will be official OTA. I also don't think that B138 will be an official OTA. But that's just a guess.

My guess is the next official one will be in the 150s for the international versions, and will add the 10x camera. Probably, release order will be, C432, C185, C636, with the carrier French and Latin America versions somewhere in the middle. Right now, Huawei's focus for firmware development seems to be on the Mate 9 pro, though, more than the original Mate 9.

By the way, I'm pretty sure there is an undiscovered location in Huawei's server where they have unreleased builds. For example, B112 existed, but was never found in the usual location. Maybe you guys want to look for them with the Huawei firmware search tool? :)

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quizo:
Just reboot into erecovery it should go through its process as long as you are on that dns
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] citifone:
I have the same problem. When I boot phone to Huawei eRecovery using wifi, I always get "Getting package info failed". I checked DNS and it's correct. What seems to be the problem please?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
What phone do you have and what version did you choose?

Also, are you sure dns is set on WiFi router? If you set on pc or in the phones setting it will not help.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] citifone:
I have Mate 9 model # MHA-L29. I forgot what version I chose from funkyhuawei.com, this was the message from the website:

"Your status: Your request was successful. You may now load MHA-L29C185B126! Please use eRecovery to flash this firmware"

I set DNS for the router as instructed and I got confirmed "You have set up your DNS correctly. Welcome to my Mate 9 Flashing Service!" when I click on www.funkyhuawei.com website. So what else could be wrong?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Is your phone MHA-L29C432? I need to know what exact model it is. Probably you chose incompatible firmware. Please check exactly what version you have in settings.

If you have MHA-L29C185, choose MHA-L29C185B126 and if you have MHA-L29C636, choose MHA-L29C636B136. If you have something else, try CHINA-TO-EURO.

Hi, Can you please add

LON-L29C432B139 firmware on your FunkyHuawei, cant see it on the list on your site or can i flash my

LON-L29C432B126 with the LON-L29C721B138?? or what to do? have also on my computer LON-L29C432B139 full firmware and only the small update, can i flash that in some way? want to donate to this but want support for the LON-L29C432..

Anyone?? :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] citifone:
It's MHA-L29C636B110
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Then, please choose MHA-L29C636B136, and it will work from eRecovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] goran85:
What about my reply? On: Mate 9 PD - All Stock Firmwares listed there is LON-L29C432B139 listed for the c432 and the LON-L29C721B138 for c721.. and when i visit funkyhuwei on firmware list i cant see one single c432 rom including the LON-L29C432B139 that listed here on xda on Mate 9 PD - All Stock Firmwares listed .. Will there be support for this or what do i do for getting the new firmware? want to use funkyhuawei but hard if there no rom for it.. Please help me out here
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It's not my fault. Huawei doesn't authenticate installation of LON-L29C432B139. The only way it could be flashed is via HiSuite with the exploit, but I haven't tested that on a Mate 9 Pro/Porsche, because I don't own one, so for now, my preliminary support for the Mate 9 Pro/Porsche will be limited to the firmware I am sure can be installed with eRecovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] goran85:
Thanks, now i know it will be support and firmware for it in the future.. By the way, Great work you done so far :good:

Gonna make an donation
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes, of course it will be supported once it's authorized by Huawei for install. I have a custom tool to find when it happens, so please be patient, and when I detect it can be done, I will do it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] citifone:

Where is is the problem ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dancrow:
Trying to update over HiSuite from C185B126 to C185B138,

Change the DNS and chose firmware to flash on funkyhuawei site to C185B138

Have this message:

Your status: Your request was successful. You may now load MHA-L29C185B138! You must use the HiSuite method to flash this firmware. Please follow the instructions exactly.

but after I download the ROM and check my changelog.xml it has an line looks like this:

<component name="TCPU" version="MHA-L29C636B138"/>

Is this right?

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] I think it should be version="MHA-L29C185B138" , right?

Anyway continuing the update process using HiSuite after phone reboots in recovery, I'm stock at 5%, and in Hisuite in writing recovery step.

After a while HiSuite disconnects itself from phone, and nothing happens after this.

I follow the exact steps in procedure to update via HiSuite, several times, but still no success.

Any advice please from you guys ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I looked into it. Huawei actually changed the changelog incorrectly. Even though it says C636, it is C185 (hw/meafnaf), and C636 is a separate update.

Regarding your problem, make sure the usb is plugged directly into the computer, not into a hub, etc. If you have this problem where it is stuck at 5% and waiting for the device, unplug and replug the USB.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If it gets cut off midway through the download, you must factory reset and try again. Resumed downloads don't work. This is a bug in eRecovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Sorry, I don't know. I didn't have the same problem with Windows 7 or Windows 10. Please try a different PC.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dancrow:
Thank you,

Please check your PM
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
unplug the cable at that point and plug it back in and wait for minute or two (first time maybe it will be too short to install correct adb and hdb drivers) so delete update_temp folder and do it again.. also plug it in directly in USB port or try another one.

hope this helps.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Updated today:

Hi.

I have a Chinese 6gb/128gb version. If I flash with euro ROM will it recieve updates?

Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dancrow:
No way to update using hisuite. Tried with 2 different computers, same problem with recovery flash error at 5%. I think the main issue is the driver which is installed only once after decompressing process. Something is wrong here.

Also tried to remove the drivers from computer using USBDeview aplication. After decompressing step, phone reboots from adb\fastboot mode to recovery and start installing drivers. The time spent in recovery step in hisuite it's not enough for drivers to install in computer, and when it reaches 100% hisuite fails. Also doing the same process again from the beginning doesn't trigger drivers install again.

I give up. I will wait for eRecovery update version B138. This one it works for sure in my case.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
If I use HiSuite flash to go from C636B136 to this B138, will I be able to use eRecovery updates in the future, or will I always have to use HiSuite after that?

First of all thank you for your hard work!

I finally decided to use your upgrade process.

How long does it usually take to process?

Thank you!

So it did successfully go through however when I try to download using eRecovery, it says, "Getting package info failed."

I still have the DNS set as to connect to funkyhuawei.com.

Do I need to revert back and download?

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Your dns needs to be set to the ip address on your WiFi router. Please also confirm what model phone you have and what version you are trying to flash.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steven8934:
Hello

I have the MHA-L29C636B110 and trying to flash the C636B136.

Regarding the DNS, so I need to erase the DNS you provided to access funkyhuawei.com to my original?

Thanks for your help !
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You need to keep the dns set on your WiFi router the whole time. If the update does not show in eRecovery you don't have dns set correctly or update selected.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steven8934:
Hello

I have set the DNS to the 37.114.61.203 to make the donation and after your fix, the transaction is successful and said to use eRecovery.

If I keep holding the Volume Up button, it stops at 5% and says software install failed. The update package does not exist. Please download the package again. If I first hold the volume up button and I let go it takes me to the eRecovery, I connect to wifi, and the software fails to download.

Maybe I will need to donate more for your time.

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Are you sure you set the DNS on your Wi-Fi router and not just on your PC?

Who the hell spends 600+ on a phone and can't donate?

Would say only in America but this is global.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Haha. This is true. I spend 4 or 5 hours a day giving support to people who donate $0.01 sometimes but for now at least I didn't lose money on hosting. But hosting company is angry about bandwidth. :mad:

Of course sometimes there are more generous people but it is not a lucrative service. I just want to help people.

Still, everything helps and any money people send to me will go to good use.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
I understand, I would charge a minimum for your service. Please charge at least a cup of coffee/tea/beer money.

As someone great told me while shopping for a house, you either got time or money.

Time=wait for OTA

Just got my device last night, firmware on 110 I believe. Should I upgrade? Worth it yet? Notification number still there?

I appreciate it and will be donating.

Hello

Thank you for your time.

I changed the DNS on the router settings, I accessed the funkyhuawei using my phone to donate.

But for some reason, I can't access funkyhuawei and I am very frustrated because the steps aren't too complicated.

I remember reading a post where you said you will provide 1 on 1 help if someone donates more than some amount.

When are your best hours?

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Update for everyone. Pretty good news.

I have figured out a way to get European B138 regardless of phone carrier. It will take a while, but I will have an update to FunkyHuawei that lets you flash official MHA-L29C432B138 in eRecovery very soon. Huawei only approves it for certain IMEIs, but I have found a way around it. Stand by!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
am assuming this answers my earlier question, those who re branded to c432 wont get this update, since its an IMEI based.. This tells me that all those who re branded are not supported in the future and should use funkky anyways and all the time..

Maybe the rebrandind thing is not something that Huawei wants..

Anyways, just let us know when its ready at your servers, so us who converted (by your services) can use it again for the update.. And how can we do that?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
No, actually. Not like you say.

They do an early rollout and an official rollout. The early rollout goes to some carriers. The carrier and the IMEI are one value together so it's hard to separate which is which. When the official rollout is ready, you will get the updates normally, I would think. But the early rollout, you won't get, unless you are on the right network with the right phone. I can make it look like you are on the right network, so the update can be installed.

But one issue is, for example, people who have Singapore sim cards and the C636 are not getting the OTA to B136 right now, even though it's approve-able and install-able for anyone's IMEI. Anyway, it's relatively difficult to explain :P
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Much appreciate your response.. Its more clear to me now..
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Hey everyone. MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR update. I have just completely cracked Huawei's security. The next update of FunkyHuawei, most versions of firmware, even beta versions, will be fully installable via eRecovery. This will be true for all Huawei phones, including Mate 9 Pro. HiSuite will no longer be necessary. Even non-approved versions can be installed. More updates as they become available.

I will need to change the way it works so it will take a little bit of time. Please bear with me as I accomplish this. But this is really, really big news. Basically, anything found on Huawei's server will be installable from eRecovery, possibly with some exceptions. But the security is now cracked wide open :D
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Looks like I'll be buying you another beer. Great work, and thank you!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Guys, I hope you can help me: is there anyone else with problems getting the device being recognized in SystemRecovery by HiSuite?

I have a Windows 10/x64 PC.

The phone drivers seem to be installed correctly, as minimal adb works, the phone is recognized as a regular usb device, I can access internal and external storage (sd card) and so on. When I fastboot HiSuite will say the device is not supported and can't be recovered so neither can I upgrade firmware nor go fully back to stock.

I would like to end this nightware with endless firmware downloads, failed erecovery etc. I know I have only donated a few dollars and can't expect much support but I have only one device and need to get it back to working.

What caused the problem: had MHA-L29C432B126 installed and wanted to use MHA-L29C4B138.
