2. when am lucky to install TWRP how do i restore OEM FOR C432

3. then WHEN i download the FULL MHA-L29C432B126 , WHY DO I HAVE TO UNLCOK AGAIN IF MY PHONE HAS ALREADY BEEN UNLOCKED? FORM THE INITIAL STEP,

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Backup everything in twrp so if something goes wrong you can restore the backup.

And don't delete anything from the zip.

Yeah when I have volte and I make a call it connects instantly. It also doesn't switch me out of lte to hspa so I can browse the web just as fast. It's a deal breaker for me. I've been trying to post all over xda and reading and reading but I can't seem to find a clear answer. I'll just stick with the phone another week or two and if I don't find out how to enable volte I'm just going to get another phone.

Hi. I`m from

Argentina

. I recently acquired the Mate 9 and I`ve tried to force an update with Software Finder and it didn´t result for me. So i unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then rooted. Then i`ve flashed a rom via TWRP, everything ok, but when it rebooted it continiously keep bootlooping in the Huawei logo. I have the

MHA-L09C605B111

model. Is this method useful for me? And not less important, can you plis upload another link? Because Mega only let me download 1gb per day.

Thank you very much and sorry about my english.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kpcheang2:
B158 is latest for most of us on L29C636 model.

Recently B172 started being rolled out from Mar 16 onwards so you may update to this depending on which country SIM you're on.

I knew from another user in the forum Australia is on B172 already
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
If you still have access to twrp yes you can use this guide.

Sorry I can't upload the files somewhere else cause of slow internet here.

You can register an account in mega for free to download more than 1 Gb.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] foxcar:
I've messed with this for the entire day and the method works, but the downloads aren't for L29-C636, they're the non-pro MHA-C636. You can see this in the "About" section of your settings.

I found a Chinese forum, bbs.xxroot.com (I'm not allowed to post links yet) that has the actual L29 offline firmware for download, as well as other Mate 9 firmwares.

The catch is they want you to buy them for $10 a pop, and Alipay doesn't like my credit card. Anyone want to try?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I don't believe in this kind of scams sites and I won't pay money for any service.

Thanks for the info and the firmwares here are for Mate 9 MHA.

Not sure what you are doing but if you do all the steps again,it will work.dload should be on external sd card.

Hi Mates,

I tried to rebrand from a L09C40 (Spain) to the L29C636, I arrived to the step 4, the updated started but soon I got an error and it stopped. I had to unlock the bootloader again and restore the original oeminfo from TWRP to get back.

By the way I had to use a pendrive by OTG with TWRP because it didn't recognize the external sd, could this be related to the issue updating? Could I copy the dload folder to the internal memory instead to the external?

Do you know the solution to that error with the 3 buttons updating? If not, do you know a way to get rid of the TWRP recovery to leave all original? Could I flash for ADB the recovery from any other rom since I can't find mine anywhere. Thank you very much!

Cheers!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
What error did you get?

Did you copy the folder dload and it's sub folders to sd card?

Did you restore C636 oeminfo that you download from first page?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, at a 5 or 10% the update failed but I'm sorry, I can't remember the exact error. Yes I copied the whole dload folder, subfolder and files to sd card and did all the 3 previous steps properly.

Thanks gm007!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Not sure but i saw many with l09 rebrand successfully​.

Maybe a corrupted file?

If you want to try again,wipe everything,and format data in twrp but make backup first.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, I'll download it again and try it once more. I made a backup of all but data because it gave me always an error. Anyway, take care about making a factory reset or wiping system from TWRP, a friend of mine did it and had a hard time to boot again, he has to extract all the images from his rom with Huawei Update Extractor and flashing them one by one by ADB. The problem is that I don't have my own rom if I have any problem.

By the way, do you know if the stock recovery is the same for all roms? only in case I had to use warranty to extract it from another rom and flash it to get rid of the TWRP.

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I know wiping in twrp can cause problem be we have an offline C636 firmware so no worry,you dload it anytime.

As for stock recovery i don't know but should be the same if you have to same build number.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi gm007, do you mean that with your method it is possible to resuscitate our little friend from any possible mess you could do?

And if my rom is L09C40B125 do you think any B125 could be right to extract and flash the recovery image? Thank you very much!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Sorry I'm not responsible for any damage that happen to the phone,this guide is working 100% on L29 so not sure about L09.some guys tried it on L09 and it worked not sure if it will work for you.

As for stock recovery i think yes it should work.
