Although I could help you use HiSuite, it's pointless. Within a few hours, B138 will be installable with eRecovery. (Not just MHA-L29C432, but also C185 and C636, which are not even being rolled out yet :)) Just hang tight until then.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
Assuming changing the dns of my router will still be required.

My crappy linksys router has some type bug where dns will not change. Internet is flooded with folks who had issues.

Have to wait a week or so to before my new router gets here(needed it for my new house).
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes, sorry. DNS change is still required!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Hmm, that sounds great but it still not clear how future updates will be handled. Will I be able to use HiSuite again after your eRecovery update?

What if users want to return to the official update channel by Huawei? Does this mean we have to use your service forever? What if you decide to take all the 0,01 dollar donations and escape to a secret island?:D:D:D:D

That is why I think having a working HiSuite recovery is important, not only for me personally but also for other users who could run into the same problem.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
HiSuite is not officially supported on Mate 9. It's only supported with my hack. You need to get FunkyHiSuite.exe for it to work.

One of the main reasons I made this service is because Huawei doesn't come out with any recovery tools for Mate 9.

But it should be mentioned, Funky Huawei only installs official Huawei updates. It doesn't install anything custom. I am just providing the recovery/update service that Huawei failed to.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Hi,

I don't want you to debate this with me here, I'd rather see you invest your precious time into the service you offer which undoubtedly is something Huawei should be doing. However, What I still don't understand:

1. Why can't I use HiSuite anymore and will I be able to use in future to recover.

2. What do I need to do be able to receive future updates without using your service.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
on a side note, don't try to downgrade C432B138 to B126, my nightmare just ended with installing B138 via hisuite again.. all other opetions miserably failed (Yeah, rookie thing, probably you all know it).. eRecovery succesfully downloaded and flashed B126, but phone would boot to huawei logo and boot animation and reboot back to eRecovery).

all this was happening whilw I didn't know about new method.. thanks [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] waiting for eRecovery thing
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
1. I don't know. It's up to Huawei.

2. I don't know. It's also up to Huawei. :P But I think to get updates you need to have the correct region SIM approved for your device.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Added the following updates:

MHA-L29C432B138

MHA-L29C185B138

MHA-L29C636B138

All should be flashable with eRecovery now. Correct version number will show, and OTA updates should be possible.

Take note, there is a new way introduced to bypass Huawei's security. I have not fully tested this with all versions yet, so please test and make sure it works if you can!! I will begin testing as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nisam Mate:
1. you can still use hisuite patched with funkysuite, but in about phone it will show wrong version number

2. just flash latest full ROM for your region via eRecovery and you should receive official OTA's when they arrive without changing anything, but changing to FH DNS will allow you to install unoffical OTA's and official OTA's sooner.

someone correct me if I am wrong

damn I am late with my answer, didn't sleep most of the night :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grigorijs:
Hello.

I have Mate 9 Pro (LON-L29) with unlocked boot-loader. At the beginning I had a ROM like LON-L29C432B124.

Now I don't have any Rom. So I tried to get ROM from FunkyHuawei. My steps which have done:

1) Set your DNS on your Wifi router to FunkyHuawei DNS

2) Once it's set, go to in your browser.

3) Once you've opened the site, Click the donation link and send a donation. You will get an email from paypal which addresses you by name. See above if you don't want to make a donation.

--> Your status: Your request was successful. You may now load LON-L29C721B138! Please use eRecovery to flash this firmware.

And I tried to use eRecovery how you wrote, but I get "Getting package info failed" all time.

Next I tried to use HiSuite. Also did all steps.

1) boot your phone up into fastboot (connect it to your computer, and boot up phone holding volume down button), and then choose System Recovery from HiSuite.

2) You open and leave open the FunkyHisuite.exe app, and as long as your DNS is set correctly, when you do a System Recovery in HiSuite, you will be flashing the version you chose from the funkyhuawei.com interface

But It doesn't start to download anything. Also when I press button "Recover" on the label "Entered system recovery mode" I get "Your device is not supported for system recovery"

What I have to do to fix it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
Can you help me get Recovery back to working in the HiSuite version you provided? I want to get back to fully official. On a site note: ith the updates/firmware you provide it is impossible to use even eRecovery without your DNS so basically as I see it, once we start using your service we are totally dependent on it, right?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes. Easy. Install HiSuite, run HiSuite, and run FunkyHisuite.exe

Boot the phone into fastboot mode by holding volume down and plugging into computer.

Choose the update to install on funkyhuawei. It's best to pick the version you most recently have installed.

It should then work.

But my recommendation is eRecovery. HiSuite was not designed to work with Mate 9.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I do not yet support LON-C432. I hope to add support soon. There are no updates approved by Huawei that I can use as of now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grigorijs:
Maybe you know how soon it can be available for LON-C432. I tried everything to repair my device but it was fail.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I have to wait for Huawei to release a firmware I can load on it. So I don't know how long it will be. :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmad23:
1. Your server is unavailable (been like this for the last 12 hours)

2. Prior to posting in public I told you in PM that the phone is not recognized in HiSuite anymore.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grigorijs:
It's very disappointed me. I have to just wait. All what I did was fail :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If your phone is a Mate 9, not a Mate 9 pro, the phone should become recognized in HiSuite once you open FunkyHisuite. My server is up, so I'm not sure what is unavailable.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] watzzzup:
Just want to check did you get my pm?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dancrow:
[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] does the download speed depends on the amount of donation? Or only the available band of service?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
I discovered the way to get past 5%. When the device installs recovery in hisuite and then restarts you have to unplug the phone and leave it unplugged till it restarts and gets to 5%. When it reaches 5% plug it back into hisuite and it will progress to 6% and finish the upgrade. Worked for me twice

Just flahsed L29C432B138 with eRecovery. All went well, except all my (user)data got wiped again and don't have google play services anymore. So guess i'll have to factory reset it.

Not sure if my bootloader is still unlocked or not: i still have all my files on the internal sd card, but when in bootloader mode it says 'phone locked'. Anyway, worst case i'll unlock it again.

I had to put my feedback for everyone and specifically [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] to know.. Coz he have been with me through out the experience at its first phase..

So i was L29c185 then changed the region to c432, and update through funkky immediately to 126 (few weeks ago, unlocked and twrp installed), now after the installation of b138 became applicable via erecovery, i updated to 138, and all is perfect (so far), my update system shows as L29C432B138..

Few points here,

The system is very smoth compared to some lagging before

Notifications are being handled much much better

The notifications from drop down are now circled edges

Will explore more and update everyone of any other things

One another very important point for you [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION], my wife has the same phone but C185B126, and as my router DNS were changed, and while i was updating through erecovery, she got an update notification, am sure it was dedicated through ur servers, she got it as a normal update, i knew by then if she updated she won't have her version build number actually updated, so i just rejected the update. Am just informing u so you know this also can happen. Am leaving her device locked as bought and let her get the updates as normal ota (she ain't into this geeky things as i am)..

Update:

gaming experience is waaay better, faster in loading and processing.

Touch sensitivity lags are now better, i feel like each touch is processed smoothly.

More to come..

This is coming from an actual aggressive user who tries to notice things around the software and its updates.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grigorijs:
Yes, I can agree it and how I can see this ROM - LON-L29C432B139 available form 2016.12.23 for downloading.

I hope you will add this ROM on your server as soon as possible to fix our devices (LON-L29) ;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
D, you're the man!

L29C432B138 now runnng after successful update through erecovery, and showing in settings, on my originally C636 mate 9.

Wonder how long before huawei close this security loophole. Hope not! The slow bastards
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] watzzzup:
Thank you thank you so much. I finally manage to restore my phone using this method! Such a relief. Thank you.

I have a Mate 9 and unlocked BL. Installed TWRP and was messing around with it. Accidentally wipe using twrp.

After that i couldn't boot in. It was stuck at the logo and kept on rebooting. Tried other methods but cannot boot.

Used this method and flash C636B136 and it's up and running. I will donate more..

So happy!!

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] what other method are you referring to? Can you post the details?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cabtouch:
Hello fellows..

After reading the OP and most of the thread, it seems I can convert any regional model to any other one, and the C432 or C636 are those having more frequent updates.

My Mate 9 is a C605 model, seems to be from Colombia. But I live in Brazil and for any reason I cannot get OTA and the phone is stuck on B111 firmware.

So my question is simple: can I change my model from B605 to 432 or 636 and them install a newer ROM, all of that using Funky Huawei? As my phone is not coming neither from China or Europe, how can I first change the region? E recovery? But can I do a recovery even if my phone does not allow me any update?

Thank you for your help.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You can change the model if you can unlock the bootloader. I could add some C605 firmware updates to FunkyHuawei, though. I think I saw many updates.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It is on Huawei's server, yes, but Huawei does not issue authorization tokens for it yet. That is why I can't support it yet.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It's probably better not to post it publicly because it's possible that Huawei is checking this thread. If Huawei knew how it was done, they might disable it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If you donate in a currency other than USD, I have to add your name manually. Your name has been added, and it should be working for you. Let me know if it doesn't.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tortillathehun:
Ah -- didn't realize the reboot at 75% was expected on successful flash. When it did then boot (after flashing the first time) I assumed it didn't take, because the welcome screen defaulted to Chinese, so I had to manually pick English from the list. Is this also expected behavior?

I'm guessing the flash error only happened on subsequent attempts to flash the China-to-Euro firmware, which I made because I thought the first time failed.

I did, at some point, get to a state where a flash seemed to give me Google apps, but there were no Google account steps in the setup wizard, so I didn't see them until afterward (and again, I assumed this meant the flash didn't take). Google was also set up properly as the assistant -- i.e. swiping up from the home soft key showed a Google logo. However, attempting to access Google this way resulted in nothing happening. In any case, to be honest, I'm not sure if this was just because I flashed pre-115 China firmware, one of my troubleshooting steps.

Thanks for the response, in any case!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Thanks sorted
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
All of the symptoms you describe are because your phone is still a Chinese phone. As mentioned in the main post, there are certain side effect like no themes. The setup wizard default to Chinese is also one of those side effects. The google apps are there, but the setup wizard will not include Google, nor can you add Google accounts from the accounts in settings. It's what happens when the European firmware is running on an AL00 -- the flash took just fine.

You can get around these problems by unlocking your bootloader and rebranding your phone to not only be running European firmware, but to report that it is and be recognized as a European phone. But you need to get the BL unlock code from Huawei in order to do that.

You should set up your google account by opening gmail, and going to add account. Let me know what other side effects you experience!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It's my pleasure. Thanks for your generosity! I hope the tool is useful for you.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Very useful thanks. First try has failed. Just gets stuck at 5%. guessing I will be BL unlock
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tortillathehun:
Sounds like I was good then. Awesome.

I definitely want to get the BL unlocked -- I saw the guide in another thread, so that's great. Off the main topic - the aforementioned guide did mention, I believe, that I'll need to show evidence of a registered Huawei account which has been active for at least 15 days to get the unlock info. However, when I go to register an account, it asks for a Chinese phone number (and I can't change the number prefix). Any thoughts?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You can register with an email address instead of a phone number.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tortillathehun:
D'oh... missed the blatantly obvious. Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
No luck on flashing c432 on the C636. have tried several times. I am stuck in B110 which is the old software
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
How are you trying to do it? HiSuite? Are you running FunkyHisuite in the background? What does the output from FunkyHisuite.exe say? Can you please be more specific about what is failing? It's likely I can help.

I see multiple requests from someone using HiSuite who has a C636 who has not selected the ROM to flash correctly, so my server is returning no rom. That might be you?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Hi followed the readme. Once it says patched device reboots but just sits at 5% constantly
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If it's sitting at 5% and it hasn't said the update failed, unplug and re-plug the usb cord into your phone.

You need to start again from fastboot obviously, if it failed one time. You also need to re-open FunkyHisuite each time you try to flash.

If you can install TeamViewer and PM me the info, let me remote login to your computer and see what's happening, I can help troubleshoot.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Ok let me try again in a mo. I might wait though for my bootloader unlock and then completely convert to c432
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Do me a favor and try the eRecovery method, choosing the Chinese to Euro firmware version. I think I just added support for your model.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I just looked into your failed attempts and noticed that your phone isn't giving HiSuite a deviceId or an updatetoken. I'm guessing it's due to the fastboot implementation in old versions of the firmware. Please try with eRecovery choosing the Chinese to Euro method, and it should work out, I think. If you can do it soon, I can keep tabs on it and see what's going on, but it's nearing 4AM here in Japan, so if it's not within the next few minutes, I'll have to look into it tomorrow.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] Thanks again for the help a while back, just to quickly clarify, now that I've completely rebranded to EU L29C432B126 will i get OTA as normal in future?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Yes. But just use funky, he's found a way to get official ota
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You will get OTA just like anyone else with EU MHA-L29C432, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will get the updates. It depends on your SIM card apparently.

The best way to get updates the fastest is to use FunkyHuawei. I can support the European updates as soon as they are pushed out to the first european carriers. I can support also the Asia/Middle East updates as soon as they are on Huawei's server. So as long as I can keep FunkyHuawei alive everyone can get updates.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
By the way, I checked. The version numbering is very strange for your model. There is an update which is also called B111 for your model, but the changelog seems to give it the same features as the B126 from other countries. The problem is, no full package is available, only OTA package. If we do OTA package and it isn't the correct one for your current version, the update could fail and your phone could be in an unusable state, so I think it's a bit dangerous to proceed with that. If you get your BL code, I will help you rebrand. Just send me a message when you have it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:

So any way around linksys dns server not sticking? Bug in older linksys router where it only uses the dns from the isp.

I can change everything on my computer/router. I can get to the website donate/download(if i change dns on computer) page but nothing I did last night would download rom.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Sorry to say the only possible way to get it working correctly is to set the Dns on the router.

Depending on your ISP you should be able to set your ISP DNS to mine. Or you could run a separate dhcp server. But it would certainly not be a very easy thing and I can't walk you through it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Just so I know and can confirm that it's working, would you share which version of 138 you installed? C432 or C185 or C636

I can confirm C432 B138 via erecovery works
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmorales023:
I did this since this morning haha. C432 138 with correct version number on settings page.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
So I decided to open up hiswuite again and I think I clicked update, and it downloaded and now slowing installing.

I doubt anything actually happens when it hits 100% but since something has downloaded maybe Ive played with enough settings to be on the right track.

I also didnt boot into fastboot. Screen just sitting here lit up.

Update said funkyhuawei. Only thing different this time was a changelog showed on the hisuite screen.

It finished and restarted phone, and entered erecovery and failed.

Trying again in fastboot and I actually have progress
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] combatuser:
C636 here on B136. Boot into eRecovery to download B138, after finished downloading, verifying package failed.

EDIT: Trying again currently. Would the package be deleted automatically if eRecovery fails? Currently at 7% :)

EDIT 2: This time round, it went through and the update flashed!!!!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
So far keep failing at 5% with hisuite saying failed. Funkyhuawei says should suceed after it patched it.

Gong from 636b110 to 636b136

So far tried 136, 138 and china to euro 126

All 3 fail recovery and screen sticks at 5%

Anything through hisuite I can try?

No error message, just recovery failed
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
None of those are HiSuite designed updates, so they will fail.

Maybe you can try B136 with HiSuite, but don't let FunkyHisuite.exe patch it. It might install that way.

But my strong recommendation is just figuring out a way to change your DNS and use eRecovery. eRecovery runs some update scripts that HiSuite can't, like changing the version to the correct number and so on, so it's best to use it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
I went from c636b110 to c636b138 without issue using erecovery
