I have read that duradaa has already found the new C636B172 version but it's not published yet officially from Huawei so we have to wait a. Little more... As he said there is a big improvement in touch respond of screen & apps and as always battery improvement...

I want to make a Question to Everyone who debrand with this guide to C636 :

After degrading you have to update to latest firmware C636B158...

Does anyone find this update(C636B158) from Hicare app (and NOT from system update with 3 dots)?

If yes what was exactly your settings in Hicare app? I mean what region and country!

Thanks...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
well u said it yourself it was not published by huawei yet so how ca changing region would release it?if you wan fast update then why dont just go to what ever that guy name is for the update?that guy is trying to gain money from those like u who doesn't have patience to wait for huawei to release.no offence but that guy will sugar coat everything to make everyone to use his paid service
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsiglas:
OK.. You are out of question, out of subject.... Out of everything.... I have already debrand to C636 version I just inform all of you that we are going to take official OTA update soon... So before that happens I want to try some things so that was why I make my question that you destroy... So I'm making it again and please don't answer...

If you are guessing how they release updates you will never know.

Yesterday i rebranded my phone to Chinese.

First as you know i had B115, went to system update not hicare and found B125,did the update...

Again went to system update and found directly B175,but while downloading B175 i went to hicare just for curiousity and found B138 but i did nothing cause i was installing B175.

So why and how we won't know,system find b175 while hicare found b138.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsiglas:
Now listen my story...

My stock version was AL00B165(Chinese) I was trying to update from system update and Hicare app every day for one week but nothing....B167 was already published.... One friend from Greece told my to go to Hicare app and change settings from Europe - Greece to Asia - China... Immediately after that I check for updates in Hicare app and.... B167 was there ready for download....
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I know,that's only for Chinese firmware,they send updates via hicare it's like a beta firmware.

I just rebranded my phone again to 636 and I got b158 via 3 dots in system update.

I tried hicare for you and changed the region for many places included China but no update in hicare.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] audioralf:
I think this worked, because your device now fits to the region you set in hicare. I did this experiment to check if changing to China would give me the update to 175. But ... of course not.

oh i see so NOW u r saying that u r actually informing..well fyi c636 update doesn't work like AL00 if u r on c636 u have know this already,bcoz it will be push when huawei think the fw is ready.AND you have to shove ur ATITUDE UP IN UR ARSE and should listen what other ppl have said.BTW u also are OUT OF TOPIC,by asking the an update related question in a UNBRICK & REBRAND THREAD.

fyi i m using c636 and i never need to use the hicare to get update,even when i rebrand to AL00 i used the hicare method the update shown in the app is lower then the one in system updater.i know u r frustrated when the update is pushed slower in huawei than in a paid service but does it really help you by being an Arse?

p/s- if u are so sure hicare method work or not y dont u just try it by changing to the region/country that have received the update and INFORM all of us here.yeah i know u didnt knw which country gets the update then why dont u try every region that has in ur phone? well if u answer u have no time to do that then y bother asking it at the first place.TONTOLOU ba Ko Ni

using twrp
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Zork-:
Are ther good gapps with compatibility with AL00 (Chinese version), seem have better and faster update firmware

Which advantage have C636 vs AL00?

Regards
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 70challenger:
C636 is more like pure Android phone and less Chinese characters as well. On AL00 I couldn't get Google contacts and google keyboard. These both are working for me now on C636.

I did find better battery life and overall snappier phone on AL00, hopefully this will improve with updates.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lpnb12:
After following this guide I seem to have a bricked phone, I mean it just boot loops with black screen only, NONE of the key combinations work for erecovery/recovery but I can get into fastboot but it is still blank screen. So my only communication with the phone at this point is through fastboot commands from PC. I tried flashing TWRP again and also stock recovery extracted from the offline update. but nothing still just bootloops forever. I can't even turn it off! but if I press Vol- and plug in cable I know it is in fastboot but the screen is still blank.

Please please help if you can! I have read as much as I can find and there is nothing that has worked. Im in australia I don't know of any service centres but I might have to look into that.

Oh yeah I went from L29c185 to c432 using funkys initial donate service and now I was trying to go to c636

it stopped some where just before step 7 ..... :(

thanks in advance for any help!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Did you flash C636 oeminfo?

Use dload again,3 buttons.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lpnb12:
thanks for the reply!

yep I did and it was successful. dload does not work just black screen. You can see backlight light up but thats it. after a while it just reboots again (I am sure it is rebooting cause I feel the vibration) but if I hold down volume - I can get back into fastboot but still just black screen.

:confused:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
That's weird,do you have mate 9 or 9 pro?

Black screen means a hardware problem.

Did ur battery have enough charge?

Remove the usb and try to boot with volume up pressed.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lpnb12:
tried that, and yeah almost full charge. damn!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
hmmm something went wrong,it should work becoz i have been going back n forth from c636 to al00 ,did u restore the oeminfo?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdanuno3ms:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] audioralf:
[MENTION=7879500]lpnb12[/MENTION] can you flash the system.img for the version you are going to dload if it's c636 then extract the fires for c636

. I gues dload runs, but will not see the processing because screen driver is still bad.

If you can flash system, then also flash recovery and data and boot.

I am not sure if you can flash oeminfo from 636 from fastboot.

Then try dload again.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blue.Ember:
Can you see the navigation bar at the bottom of screen, I had this before and the solution was to flash update_public.zip and update_(your rom country).zip from Twrp the reboot to bootloader and flash official recovery and then make a format from official recovery and wipe cache then restart.

Could you try this and inform back
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
He say he has black screen even in fastboot mode so it's hardware problem.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blue.Ember:
I missed that part, and you are right, if the black screen also on bootloader mode that means it's not software issue.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] audioralf:
Can we I flash oeminfo from 636 from fastboot?

Maybe the windows selects the wrong fastboot driver after changing oeminfo. Check if it's adb sooner single interface.

It must be this driver.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lpnb12:
Hi guys thanks for all the input, I had to go to bed! I don't know what you mean by "adb sooner single interface" and what do you mean wrong fastboot driver? I thought fastboot was fastboot! can you flash oeminfo in fastboot? I could not find any info on that.

HOWEVER guys I left the phone overnight and the battery went flat and Voila! it booted into android. PHEW!

but yeah the screen was completely black apart from the backlight! it was just continuing bootlooping every 20-30sec or so!

thanks again and I am very happy to be back in Huawei land!

thanks yeah I did all that . no dice!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] audioralf:
Good news. We are happy with you.

If you connect to windows, a fastboot driver will be installed or used. Fastboot users this driver to transport it's data via USB.

If the driver is wrong, it can not transport bigger files like system.img. So check in device manager if you see a Android phone detected. If you are in fastboot mode the driver's name must be 'adb sooner single interface'

Pretty much most of the gapps will work in the chinese version, I have found problems so far with android pay, ok google not responding some times, some notifications issues and device location manager, the rest of the apps work fine. One annoying thing I discover recently is you have to reinstall all gapps after a firmware update :( i have plans to rebrand to international version but I'm doing my research and readings first. phone works fine for me and battery life is awesome and I dont really use much ok google nor android pay so i can live with the chinese firmware for a while more

Please help me, my friends

First of all exceuse my poor english and my poor modding experience...

Mate 9 SingleSim L09 C432

Bootloader unlocked

FRP Lock

TWRP installed

ROOT done

ROM: SHIELD (the rom doesn't allowed me to have a factory reset in settings)

How back to stock?

I've seen that there is this link some page above	http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...04/v68165/f1/full/hw/eu/update_full_hw_eu.zip that would be the one for my L09 European Region

Please what I've to do with the situation mentioned above (FRP lock, TWRP, root and SHIELD ROM)?

Thanking so much for the help you'll give me,

a big ciao
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
First try to use erecovery,some people say it work for them to revert to stock.

To access erecovery, connect ur phone to power source via usb(pc or chager) press volume up+power and when you see the logo remove power while keep pressing volume up to boot erecovery,there you connect to wifi and it will download the stock rom for you.

If this doesn't work you have to rebrand to c636, follow the instructions in first page.

But this is for dual sim so second imei will show 0000000000
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
power vol up and down takes me to TWRP not the update/dload...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 70challenger:
Only power and volume up, not all three.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
that takes me to erecovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 70challenger:
Yes now follow the instructions given to you by gm007.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
huawei errecovery is not the dload method, dload method automatically updates, erecovery searches for firmware online.

i flashed stock recovery and it works.

however im unable to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says failed (remote: command not allowed)

i cant get twrp back? :/ what happened
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] audioralf:
But e-recovery can not contact to the chinese sever form Europe. I called Huawei and asked why. The agent told me that it works for chinese devices and won't work for me. But he promised that Huawei will release a full offline update for the European model. So there is hope to get a dload for c432 as well as we have for al00 or c636

is there any reason why we cant use eRecovery via huawei to recover the phone in case of hard brick? (i.e wiping all partitions or corruption of them)

well you can backup your cust partition into ur ext sd or otg thru twrp.then after u finish rebranding n setup ur phone u can try ur volte if it doesn't work then you can restore the cust of your current model.

stuck at #8

How do i flash? using twrp? or using dload method?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
flash twrp thru adb.

dload is only used to reflash ur official fw but for mate 9 there is only 2 offline files that can be used to dload and both of it is at OP.

read again the OP.you should do your research b4 proceed if not it would be hard for you to understand along the way.

Goodmorning everyone . I have a mate 9 with version 00 (Chinese) installed above because I had problems at the MHA-L29C432B156 version and the phone would not start more to make it work I had to install the Chinese version. Now I would like to return to the original firmware can be done ??
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aznboix:
but the offline files vendor.APP and update.APP. How can I flash through twrp?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
its clearly u didn't do your homework, here i spoonfeed you

1-download the files at OP

2-extract the zip/rar until u see the "dload" folder

3-put that folder in ur ext card

4-shutdown ur phone

5- press n hold vol up+down+power until u see huawei logo then release it

6-profit!!??

p/s u will be having a hard time to go thru the rest if you dont take my advise.so please go read up before u spoils ur phone
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aznboix:
so it's basically repeat step #4 on the first post. I did that, I just wanna make sure if steps #4 and 8 are the same.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Flash again dload firmware same as first flash not via twrp.

This step just to relock bootloader and remove the warning.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
You can flash C636 international firmware with Google services pre installed.

but the 'update it's not going to be the' error. what can I do?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
You don't have to create a folder,just copy dload folder to sd card.

But before this you have to flash oeminfo in twrp.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
AFAIK you can use your existing unlock code from your previous build,like my case i was on L29C636 n i have unlocked BL,then when i rebrand to AL00 i just use back my C636 code to unlock again.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Yes i know but no one bricked or want to rebrand his phone if he didn't unlock the bootloader,so you can use same code.

I unlocked the bootloader, but the wipe that followed failed, so now I'm stuck with no keyboard at login and no wipe option in recovery.

u dont need to relock as it will locked BL once updated,and my advise is update to the latest fw only unlock BL and root.
