Mine is also C636 in Taiwan.

Still waiting for update as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
You can use FunkyHuawei to get the update now. Please see the thread. The update for MHA-L29C185 is B126, and for C636 it's B136
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] combatuser:
Am I still able to receive OTA normally after using funkyhuawei?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] limcc:
I have MHA-L29C636, Singapore, still stuck with B110 after one month. Ironically, my neighbouring country, Malaysia, had B136 days ago.

Many SG users found out we can use Malaysia sim card to activate the OTA update and sure enough, B136 OTA instantly after the SIM card is initiated.

BTW, I use HongKong CSL(telco) SIM card and it worked too.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
I'm not sure how that would be, actually. When the phone makes a request to Huawei's server for an OTA update, it doesn't seem to include any information about the SIM card, unless it's somehow mixed in with the IMEI info.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] limcc:
I have no idea why, all I did was replaced the SG SIM card with HK SIM to the same slot, so IMEI should be the same except the SIM card.

Also, the prepaid HK SIM card is low on credit and roaming data was disable, data connection was thru WiFi only.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Interesting. I thought it was based on only IMEI, but they might be mixing sim card data into it too. The IMEI parameter that is sent to huawei's server for OTA requests is encrypted, so I can't be sure what is included with the information. Anyone who doesn't get the updates can use FunkyHuawei to install the latest version. As long as it is the correct version for their model, it will work.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] combatuser:
Does FunkyHuawei act as a normal OTA and update the device normally? Or would it wipe? From C636B110 to C636B136.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] James_Watson:
My wife just upgraded her mate 9 via OTA several days ago.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] combatuser:
Just found out that I could not change DNS server on my router (AzTech DSL7002GRV(S)) and I don't have spare router. :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
You could perhaps use your computer as a wifi router/hotspot and change the DNS there, but otherwise, I'd recommend buying a cheap wifi router.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] combatuser:
I decided to bite the bullet and did exactly that then flashed from C636B110 to C636B136. Luckily my data is not wiped. :laugh:

The file is 2.5 GB and it took around 1 hour to download in eRecovery even though I'm in the "priority" stream. No idea how long it will take if you were to use the free transaction ID.

I would recommend those who also want to do this to just make a small donation(or even more) to save your time though. ;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] combatuser:
The phone did lagged quite a bit initially after the update. But it flies after awhile. Hope I don't have to factory reset it. :D:p
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cezeff:
i did software update via funkyhuawei and it worked perfectly fine to get me to c636b136....then i just woke up to see an ota update at 1.75gb with system improvements/patches to include 6x zoom.....this is probably the ota official stable firmware...i was probably on the official beta version....will update build/version info once it installs...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] combatuser:
I think you need to revert your DNS back to default address, as FunkyHuawei DNS will make the phone detect the OTA in funkyhuawei's server.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] caysman:
this method confirmed works. Don't know whether after doing this will phone still be responsive to Singapore update though. So proceed with caution.

eg scenario is, if your firmware is B136 now, then Singapore has B138 out, there may not be a package which will up b136 to b138.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] adarwis:
Mine is more complicated. I brought this phone from Singapore. Here, in Indonesia, Mate 9 is not released yet. I have been using this phone for a month and none ota update found. Contacted Huawei Support via email and they just keep repeating the ota update procedure :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] caysman:
Find a Malaysian or Hong Konger, and borrow his SIM card. Even expired SIM card with `emergency calls only' is OK.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] turtle76:
Managed to update my SG set by swapping sim card as well. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] adarwis:
Yes, i can confirm that by using Malaysian sim card, my C636 Singapore set get OTA update !! :victory::victory:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] xtemujin:
Yes, no OTA update with Singapore sim card.

I managed to get the B136 OTA with a Malaysia sim card.

HTH.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Does it matter which SIM slot for the Msian sim card ? Sim#1 or Sim#2 ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] xacidx:
No. Just set the other slot as inactive. You will not get the ota with 2 different countries sim active at the same time but you can disable mobile data and enable WiFi to download the ota
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] xtemujin:
Yes, only the Malaysian sim should be active either on Sim 1 or 2.

Then can use the wifi to download the B136 firmware.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Even while I'm in Spore which means the Msian sim is roaming overseas?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] xtemujin:
What I did was to off my mobile data, the Malaysian sim is roaming in Singapore.

Download the B136 firmware by wifi.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] steven8934:
Using Mate 9 MHA-L29C636 in US

Hello,

I am a Mate 9 user in the US.

Will I ever get the latest update OTA?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Thanks for info. Any major issues so far after OTA update to B136 ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] xacidx:
For me, all is well and I love having the notification icon back. But there are people still having notification not working issue which I am not having.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] xtemujin:
Getting the notification delay on whatsapp at first.

Reinstall whatsapp and looks like it solved the notification delay.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I got tired of waiting. Used FunkyHuawei to flash and I'm now updated.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] steven8934:
was it easy to perform?

Can I still get future updates?

I couldnt wait til Mate 9 was released in the US.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] adarwis:
After being updated to B136, the phone way smoother and snappier. No issue on notification.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
I finally took the plunge and did what you guys stated.

Inserted my Msian prepaid sim, turn off my Spore sim and data, on the wife and voila ! The B136 OTA update appeared immediately ! After the OTA update my About screen showing L29C636B136 and I was happy to welcome back the normal notification instead of the stupid "numbering" one. So far for the last 20min so good cross my fingers.

Thanks to xtemujin, adarwis, xacidx and others !
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I saw no point in waiting for a US release either, unless you need CDMA. I doubt WiFi calling or VoLTE will ever come to this phone, U.S. release or not. And the great thing is, you can use FunkyHuawei to flash the U.S. ROM if/when it comes out.

It is easy to perform, and it should still get future OTA's... but those are really slow anyway, as you can tell. Instructions are in the thread... basically you just change your router DNS so it can direct the URL to his server, you donate (even $1) or use a free user token (if available), pick the region/version, reboot to eRecovery, and click the button to download/recover over WiFi. The phone connects to WiFi, downloads the whole ROM, and updates without losing any data or resetting.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] steven8934:
Thank you for your information. I didnt know if there wete people in the US like me. Very good to know that there is someone else who has tried the FunkuHuawei Method. Will try that tonight. Thanks again for your help!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
It seems there is the B138 update available for selective regions/carrier already for L29C636.

Did you get the OTA update on Msia sim yet ?

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

I just tried with my Msia prepaid SIM but no OTA for B138 so I guess it hasn't reach Msia yet. Could be elsewhere like HK or Taiwan.

Those who cannot wait can use Funky Huawei method in another forum.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] xtemujin:
No news about the B138 firmware yet.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Seifer1975:
Singapore model and I just got the 136 OTA
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donatelo88:
For Malaysia, when unbox my Mate on 19 Dec, check for update and receive OTA B136, two day ago, again my Mate 9 receive another OTA B138. hope no issue with the update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Any issues so far with B138 update ? Read elsewhere about battery issues or app crashing intermittently? This update supposed to improve battery consumption based on change log...Just wanted to know more before I trigger mine using my Msia prepaid SIM.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:
Just got B138 yesterday so can't comment on the battery. Facebook did start crashing right after the upgrade. Only way to recover was by reinstating it AND Facebook Messenger. All seems good so far.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] adarwis:
Yesterday i got B138 update, full package 2.5GB. everything is good, no crashed app.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Any battery problem? Another user used Funky Huawei downgraded from B138 to B136 due to battery issues ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] adarwis:
No battery issue so far
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Ok I finally did the B138 update using my Msia prepaid SIM in less than 10min. After that my Facebook did not crash as reported by others and battery great so far.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] asmok:
I can confirm this works on the C636. Once I plug a HK sim card in it, it detects B136 is available for download.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
You should get B138 by now
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] DJW35:
I really want the 6gig of RAM version of the Mate 9 from China but I live in the US. Can I use that funkyhuawei to put the US filmware on it and get updates? Or will it just get updates with a US sim it?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] asmok:
I can see there is B138, but is that available in HK? I only have a dead HK sim card so maybe HK hasn't release the B138 update yet? I guess I can try again tonight and see if there's updates.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Instead of checking for updates make sure you select download latest full package. "check update" may not show B138
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
As soon as Huawei released an update to the US firmware, I will make it available on FunkyHuawei, and you will be able to rebrand to the US version. You'll need to unlock your bootloader to do this, but it will be re-locked once you rebrand.

From there, as far as OTA updates go, they technically should work, but it really depends on a lot of things, like Huawei's mood. From what I've seen, Huawei generally releases updates earlier to some people and later to others. If you buy the 6gig version, there is a possibility you'd get the OTAs later than some of the lucky people with original US devices selected by Huawei to get the updates. Worst case scenario, you can manually update via FunkyHuawei. But since no updates for the US device (or the Japanese device, or many other variants) have been released as of yet, it's impossible to know how the OTAs will work, as it varies somewhat by branding.

Long story short, it's not yet possible to rebrand to US version because the firmware isn't available, but it will be soon. OTAs should theoretically work, but since we have no track record we can't be sure yet. I think it's worth the extra 64gb of storage and 2gb of RAM to get the Chinese version, though.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] DJW35:
And does anyone know if a China version will just get updates in the US without anything special done?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] asmok:
I just tried my dead HK sim, so far no B138. I guess I'll be fine with B136 for now...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] adarwis:
Have you try "Download full package" option ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
You may need a live HK SIM even prepaid is OK ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] asmok:
Yup, no B138 yet.

That's possible as well, I'll need to see if I got any friends going to HK or coming back shortly to use theirs. Unfortunately, I only have a dead one hanging around.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] androFRUST:
hmm im from malaysia and i dont have the 138, only 136. Another friend and I are stuck on 136 but my other friend has the 138. This is really odd! even with the download full package option there is no update in sight!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
Strange indeed. I used my Digi Prepaid sim

You may want to try this:

1) Assuming both SIM turned on, try disable SIM2 only

2) Assuming your Msia SIM is in SIM1, ensure it is active and enable wifi

3) Go to UPDATER, select top right 3 dots, and download latest full package
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
It's not necessarily based entirely on sim card. IMEI has something to do with it also. It's very strange, the way Huawei chooses to push or not to push the update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
In my opinion it depends on my factors.first i got the 2 ota updates after a factory reset not sure if it's a coincidence or not.

Today i was searching for an update,i was on wifi and couldn't find the update and when i switched to data connection the update shows up.

One more is the account id used by hicare i think they play a role too.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
I have thousands of request samples from running FunkyHuawei. Basically, there is an IMEI and an IMSI that gets transferred to Huawei. They are both encoded, so I don't know exactly what they are, but based on that, the update is either given or no update is given. The hicare ID has nothing to do with it, and the wifi or data connection also should have nothing to do with it. There is some criteria encoded based on the IMEI and IMSI values it passes to Huawei's server.

After that, it downloads the firmware, but for it to install it needs another query to Huawei's server, which is completely encrypted over HTTPS. I had to work very hard to reverse-engineer and find exploits for the update approval process :p
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
I think this info came from hicare and there is a file in internal storage that has some info that's where the check happen
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Nope, nothing to do with that file, as far as I can tell. It has to do with an encoded IMEI value which gets sent to Huawei's server. It might include the SIM information with it, but it's encoded, so we can't be sure. I have messed around with this a lot, so please believe me :p As long as the encoded IMEI information sent to Huawei is approved, the update will be returned.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] adarwis:
If the IMEI was the key factor, then why did i can't find any updates while using Indonesian SIM card ? After switched to Malaysian SIM, my phone get updated, even the status was international roaming :)

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

What firmware do you have now ? B138 or newer one ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
B138.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
The value is called IMEI, but I think it's IMEI and IMSI data combined. Since it's encoded, we can't know exactly.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Anyone with c636b126 can try to update to b138 with this http://www.gizrom.com/b138-emui-5-0-huawei-mate-9-android-7-0-2/
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kpcheang2:
If it's IMEI related then my Mate 9 bought in Singapore shouldn't be able to receive the update after I turned on the Malaysian prepaid SIM while roaming in Spore and turning off my Spore SIM.

I got up to B138 which for Spore SIM users still stuck at B126 ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
I think the encoded IMEI value may also include the IMSI, which would give the sim information as criteria to Huawei.

Seeing as twrp needs to decrypt the storage it needs the time to do so, it's up to the user if it minds that or not. You can decrypt it.. As far as I know flashing stock does encrypt it again though -_-. Or is there a way around that?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Notor1ouS-:
so by formating /data, the phone is decrypted. right?

will i lose my internal storage data? like music, downloads, pics?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] vishnu74:
what is the solution for this. i have zero file in my phone it takes more than 5min to open twrp. how to convert ext4. i dont know while i am in f2fs and ext4 or encripted or decripted. HOW TO CHECK THIS THINGS?????
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
This phone is F2FS encrypted by default. What you are seeing is normal. I haven't timed it or anything, but yes it takes me a few minutes to boot TWRP. F2FS makes for slightly faster opening of apps (and significantly faster load times for games apparently), and thus effect everyday performance.

Reading this thread, decrypting will have a significant change on TWRP boot time. But at the cost of losing the security of having the phone encrypted.

Unless you are booting into TWRP really often (flashing ROMs or other mods frequently, etc.) it may make sense to leave it alone. Since you will be impacting every day performance and/or security for something (TWRP) that is only used occasionally. But again, it obviously depends on how you use the phone. Personally, for the times I use TWRP, I just boot to recovery and do something else for a couple minutes, then come back and do my ROM flashing.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
