No update here just yet, same as 126, took more than a week after the first messages from users in NL. Also KPN but I don't think that makes any difference.

Got my B138 update this afternoon. OTA`s are beeing distributed based on IMEI numbers
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] if that is the case, how would we get the ota, meaning us who changed the region to c432 from c185 or else.. Any ideas or suggestions here..

On the other hand, does that mean changing the dns to urs will get me the ota update normally via the updater and will change the build number to 138 since Huawei servers started authenticating this update? Please your input appreciated..
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nisam Mate:
tried that just now, it downloaded B138, but failed in recovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] replied to this post indirectly but at his funkky thread, so mainly NO for us who converted, and we have to use funkky, he is working on it.. I wonder then, why did we rebrand then!!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
All of the non-Chinese versions are only pushing OTAs to approved sim cards. Rebranding actually has nothing to do with it. From what I can tell, it's the SIM card. So if you have a Malaysia sim card you can get update C636B136, but you cannot get it with Singapore SIM card. Some European sim cards let you get B138 right now, and some don't.

The IMEI is not based on the IMEI of the phone, apparently, but it has to do with the sim card inserted into the phone. It's odd that Huawei chose to do it this way, but I'm investigating. I have found a way around it with FunkyHuawei, but it is unclear when or if Huawei will make a full roll-out for non-Chinese phones.

B138 right now is for HiSuite only. Within the next few days I will launch B138 for eRecovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nisam Mate:
thanks .) you did.. I made a stupid mistake of trying to downgrade to B126.. well I am back luckily now, if you only pushed new B138 few hours earlier while I was fighting with eRecovery :D
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] lawtq:
Works in erecovery now using your method. Great! That's C432 B138
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] escobar035:
Strange ... Swapping to KPN sim, no OTA, Tmobile sim no OTA, so only way for now looks funky ... Bizar way of delivery updates by Huawei... Really can't understand why to do it this way... At lease make it manually download and update with hisuite for the update lovers ! Must not that hard to build
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] lawtq:
Do via funkyhuawei. Official via erecovery.

Why you dont write him pm, i think its not a good idea to post your funky registration name here.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] escobar035:
correct, but name is wrong i see.. no stress..

i did pm him.

thanx
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
If you guys want to know how it works, the phone makes a request to Huawei's server for an update. This request includes an IMEI parameter which is an encrypted hash of some kind, which we can only guess includes data about your IMEI and your SIM. Huawei sends a response telling the phone the update, based on the SIM portion of the request, apparently. So some of you who have the right phone with the wrong sim will not get the update from Huawei until Huawei decides to give it to you. Because it's encrypted/hashed, we can't know for sure exactly what data this contains, but we can guess that it's based on SIM card. When the update is to install, there is an encrypted procedure to verify the update's eligibility to be installed on your phone.

It's easy to get around the first procedure, but the second one is very tough. Recently figured it out and that's why I can now serve B138, even though it's not officially available to everyone. B126 is, for example, officially available to everyone regardless of SIM/carrier, but B138 is limited rollout.

Note, also, that Huawei is very generous about updates with the Chinese AL00 version of the phone. They don't check the SIM or anything, they just roll it out to everyone. But the international variants, Huawei is being very ridiculous by limiting updates for no apparent reason. This problem extends all the way to eRecovery, so it's not possible to recover a bricked phone. Anyway, in the meantime, FunkyHuawei can get you these updates and let you recover when something goes wrong, so please donate as much as you can to keep it alive.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] escobar035:
Thanx for the service!

Updated yesterday from 126 to 138 by funky e recovery... It was slow, but it's there!

Happy new year !!

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
It seems very logical to check the SIM in case the update might conflict with phone operator's specific software. An unlocked generic version will always be easier to update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nisam Mate:
Sorry but no logic there at least in Europe (but also anywhere, iOS gets updated at the same time everywhere, Nexus/Pixel devices also, not updating is known bullsh*t with Android manufacturers / operators which doesn't make any sense and logic.

Peace,

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] escobar035:
I buy the mate without contract or carrier software... So there is no sim related scan
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] masterkey101:
Same here in Germany - but still no update...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:
Likewise. Still on 126 in Portugal and Germany.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] bonamarzius:
The same in Italy
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Tuffcheez:
Still on 126 in the UK....
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] calinormy:
No way nexus/pixel gets updates same time. Only a anuncement.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AttiZ:
I don't understand this approach followed by Huawei. They don't offer any way to get a full installation off line. That' crazy and st...d ... Sorry.

I know that the ota incremental update is good but not 100% safe. It's possible download a corrupted update.

And if I brick my phone ... Europe is a bad market for Huawei.

Sorry but I'm very angry about this approach.

Samsung, Apple, Sony, Motorola, Htc, Google, Xiaomi and so on offer always a double way to update: incremental update or offline full update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nisam Mate:
And that's why you have Funky Huawei tool.. Don't be angry, enjoy a great phone or get another brand.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Agreed. Best support and software tool from our friend, [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] :svetius:.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AttiZ:
@ Nisam Mate I think one thing is the phone one thing is the support. The phone is great. The support from Huawei is ridiculous. Please explain to me why they don't offer a way to install a full update offline. It's make no sense.

I wait your comment. And I want to clarify that you are a user like me so I don't want critical towards you. I don't have any kind of problem with you.

Another thing why they check the sim card and the IMEI of the phone to allow an update.

You are right but I want to remember that Duraaraa is not working for Huawei. Repeat ... I like the effort produced and the time spent by Duraaraa ... :D
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nisam Mate:
I also never defended Huawei, this is my first Huawei phone and all previous phones I had had their quirks, I can name for each Apple, Samsung, LG, HTC, One plus, etc. from personal experience.

Why Huawei did this for Mate 9 is their choice and our is to buy or not buy phone and if we buy it to support people that are working to help us like [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]

Mate 9 in Europe at least has many benefits for first 3 months, maybe Huawei doesn't want people bricking their phones and getting new and will release other ways of updating sometime later. I would also like where is kernel source for Mate 9. And many other questions.

But it was my choice to buy this phone, if, at some point, I won't be able to live with its quirks I will move on to another brand.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AttiZ:
@ Nisam Mate

we are consumers. We can write in a forum as XDA what we don't agree. We pay for something so we are eligible to share what we don't agree.

I can think to change a brand if I don't like a phone or if I found many technical problems.

For your understanding Huawei changes the way how to update the software with Mate 9. All others phone produced by Huawei follow the logical described with dload folder or ota update.

I don't think that Huawei gets this choice to avoid the brick of one phone. Otherwise the others brands can adopt this approach.

Honestly I don't understand.

Thank for your polite approach.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ramheer:
Guys I am based in London UK and i have the international version of the mate 9 and I just got an update straight from 110 to 138 I have included a screenshot of the Change log, hope this helps others. Package was 2.52GB and installed very quickly
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
First, I agree with you. It would be nice if Huawei allowed offline updates.

But actually, they do allow offline updates with the Mate 9. The problem is, they do not distribute the offline update packages. Offline update packages are different from the online update package, and they are not found on Huawei's server. They do exist, though. They can be flashed via dload. I have first-hand confirmation.

The problem is not that offline update is not possible. The problem is that Huawei doesn't distribute the packages for offline update on their server. I don't know why they chose to do this, but that's what they chose to do. Perhaps the packages are somewhere on their server we haven't found yet. Luckily they left holes open in their way of doing this that I can exploit, and FunkyHuawei was born.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AttiZ:
It's very clear. I agree with you.

Huawei has to wake up.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

That's sound interesting.

You jump from 110 to 138, full package.

Can you try to save this full package?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Narshuk:
Same here.

I had the update notification to b138 this morning (France) but was low on battery. I charged my device and now the update is not proposed anymore. I'm still on b126 and it shows that the device is up to date.

B138 update withdrawn due to issues ?

Dunno...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AttiZ:
I've just checked the update. Nothing.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Bald_Eagle:
Same here (L29, Germany). Update has been downloaded (around 1pm), 'package not authenticated' or somesuch, update removed and has since vanished. B126 allegedly the current and newest.

Edit: for those coming from Google, I went ahead and rebranded my phone to MHA-L09C432.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AttiZ:
I've checked one Italian forum. Many users have received the update: someone an ota others a full version. But others users have got an error when the installation is started: you are not authorized.

At the moment I haven't got the ota yet.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Coolbananas:
Nothing in the UK yet either.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Actually, she did. It's no longer being signed for all IMEIs. In fact, it's not being signed for ANY IMEIs right now, and is currently not even available with Funky. This includes the IMEIs which got it as an early rollout. Huawei's doing some weird stuff.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nisam Mate:
I did factory reset and the same experience as you. back to B126 for now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:
Did you use Hisuite to restore? Does it restore custom system settings (wallpaper, ringtone, mobile data settings, etc) or just the apps?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nisam Mate:
nope, used funky huawei eRecovery and set up as new phone, hate restores.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Tuffcheez:
I went to system update, press the 3 dot menu top right, then click download latest full package. Then check for updates. I'm in the UK so you should be receiving it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
That's exactly what I've been doing, but I just get the same old message. Perhaps it is IMEI related as suggested before.

I'll keep trying.

Edit to say: Also HiSuite says 'you are using the latest software' which is very annoying when you know you aren't !

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Coolbananas:
Still nothing for me in London. Haven't had any OTAs yet, tbf I did rebrand before c636 was updated. I suspect the UK isn't really a priority of Huawei, considering the Mate 9 isn't released here yet?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:
B138 has halved my SOT so I wouldn't be in a rush to upgrade. If I wasn't too lazy to reinstall all my apps I would definitely downgrade back to B126.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cabtouch:
I also have a MHA-L09C605, which is the model for Latin America. Out of the box with B111 firmware and no updates until now. I live in Brazil and the Mate 9 has not been released here. Hope the updates will arrive anytime.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] clmbtti:
If you manage to have your bootloader unlocked, you can ask [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] over PM and he'll guide you to rebrand your mha-l09 in a European mha-l29.

It is not the most perfect solution as you will end up having a lot of dual sim options grey'd out, but at least you will get the most recent updates.

Maybe in the upcoming future he might even be able to rebrand it fully in a European mha-l09.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] AttiZ:
Nothing yet. False.

I've just checked and I get the update B138.

Now I sleep, tomorrow I'll work on it.

Hi,

In the UK and I have just come from the Mate 8 (wife has that now), and upgrading the firmware was so easy using the dload method.

I, like many others, did try to upgrade via the dload method but got the usual upgrade error....

FYI, as long as you haven't unlocked your bootloader or installed TWRP, you can use the easy HiSuite method at https://funkyhuawei.club/instructions -- it's not that hard to set up.

Otherwise, let us know when the update comes out for you. Huawei's been really weird about releasing OTAs.

Mine was updated to 128 this morning, but only after I had looked for updates. There was a red dot next to uodates but I had to manually accept It.

380MB took a few seconds to download, then had to reboot.
