Hi, I'm glad to find this new update method, I tried whith L09 rebranded to C636 but I always get the same error "update does'nt found"or something similar.

Cheers!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
You need change bat-file and point path where packages located

Originally they are in /sdcard/HWOTA
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] backb0ne5p1d0r:
Make sure you're putting the file on the external SDcard and not the internal one.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Yes I did, the 3 zips in the HWOTA folder in the ext sd, but it seems that it doesn't find them. Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
No i mean it does not find the otg storage at all when it is in upgrade mode.

Only when it's powerd on normaly.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmdomini:
Stupid newbie question. Once you've rebranded successfully, how to update to latest firmware version without having to wipe the phone?

I rebranded to MHA-L29C636B172 instead of B180. No, problem just go to system update and upgrade there. Guess what, it comes back with no updates found. I had to re-flash through the process here to get to B180. I had not really put anything back yet, so no big deal. But if I'm not going to be able to get updates though Huawei, don't want to have to wipe my phone every time a new firmware comes out.

Not sure if I'm just impatient and it would have picked up the update or if firmware != to actual physical region means no updates for you. TIA!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mankindtw:
Very good question. Normal system update needs to go "query",

"download firmware", and "auth" three parts. In your case, Huawei server doesn't

give you update through "query". If it already "auth" B180 for all IMEI, you can use "Firmware Finder"

app to update. Different regions have different limitation for public "auth".

For example, "MHA-AL00C00" has all IMEI "auth" more often than "MHA-L29C636" for their firmware.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VOCHITO:
A question I have a mate 9 but instead of saying that it is MHa 09 says that it is M300 with this rotten method to return to the system as it was.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] needydude:
Hi there,

has anyone been able to use this yet to rebrand an Optus - MHA-L09C34 - Mate 9?

I have bricked one already using the Firmware Finder and am I scared to try again. I already swapped the bricked one out under warranty once...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
I have a L29C636 and I'm on B172, could someone install B180? Pushing it from Firmware Finder to the System Update keeps downloading patches, like 12 patches and the file becomes a 4GB update and then always "unstable network" or maybe I get to download like 3 patches and "auth failure".
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lemonade747:
This topic is perfect for anyone who needs to rebrand their phone. Two days ago I tried all methods I found on the google and xda around here but nothing worked. And I luckily found out this thread. I came from C635B130 (japan version, very rare and has no update from Nov 2016, means 6 months till now). I tried totally 4 times and at the 5th time I got success in rebranding my phone to C636 asia version (the 4 previous times are used old update.bat, the 5th time I used the lasted update.bat). Very happy with this now, this phone is great, although Huawei is bad at supporting and updating their phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shockwave71:
Hmmm, strange behaviour here. Got the files, renamed them, in the right place. When i start the update.bat, even as Admin, a window flashes up and vanished!! Happens every Time to me. Restart Phone and PC, same....Can see the Phone in ABD, but still no luck. The update.bat wont start. Maybe i`m a blockhead????
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prodaz:
Hello

i got the same problem the update.bat wont start for me too:confused:

Hi, friends!

The script left a file "NUL" of size 0 bytes in the folder "HWOTA\cygwin"

I can not remove anything! Your advice?

Thank a lot.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, it happened to me and was that I had copied the folder in a long path of subfolders, moved it nearer to the root and it works.

Cheers!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shockwave71:
Yeah, that did the trick. Thanks, the program starts. Will try it tomorrow!:good::laugh:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Easiest way, open the folder where you have the update.bat, hold shift and rightclick on any empty part, click on Open Command Prompt Here (Or Open PowerShell here).

type in update.bat (.\update.bat in powershell) and hit enter, it should tell you why it can't run.

Btw, did Windows recently add PowerShell to shift right click? I could swear it said command prompt a couple of weeks ago.

Edit: Saw now that you fixed it alread -.-
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prodaz:
Thank you very much i put the folder in my destock and now it works . :good:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dioky:
Working!

Hi,

Thanks for the nifty tool!

After softbricking and having to get back to C636, I was able to come back to my original C432 setup, newest build 182. :D

One tip for all who will follow:

- HWOTA should be placed directly into root of your C:\ in order for the batch to work properly.

- You can choose to put the downloaded 3 update files on your phones (external) SD card, in a directory HWOTA you create right in the root of SD card or you place those 3 files in the directory [Update] that is already provided in the extracted HWOTA directory on your PC.

- If update files are placed on SD card, note that they will be removed by the script after processing. So when going from Rebrand to Update you will have to copy those update files again to SD card before proceding to Update same device.

Regards,

Download Update ZIP

A. Get ROM update link through hwmt.ru. Click "filelist.xml". Should i download the update.zip of my phone? or just copy the link and download the filelist.xml? then edit filelist.xml on my computer with a notepad? my device is Mate 9 pro and I'm trying this method to update my device.

B. Observe "update.zip" size, choose more than 1GB file size FULL OTA from previous step. Example MHA-L29C636B158 filelist Link, all three update files and path are in the filelist.xml content.

update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.

update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"

update_all_hw.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "hw/spcseas/update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip"

C. Observe "update.zip" size, choose more than 1GB file size FULL OTA from previous step. Example MHA-AL00C00B167 filelist Link, , all three update files and path are in the filelist.xml content.

update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.

update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kjevo:
Okay so, I thought i'd try making an easier to follow guide.

Download the base file, and download the windows/Linux zip and the one for your model.

Copy these zips to the same directory! so they 'overlap' eachother.

update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.

update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"

update_all_hw.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "all/cn/update_full_all_cn.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip"

update_all_hw.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "hw/spcseas/update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip"

If you want to reflash your 432(which I did) to stock just check the filelist and change the directory to EU and spcseas to eu like this:

hw/eu/update_full_hw_eu.zip"

Put these in the update folder inside the overlapping folders you created. So HWOTA\update and rename them accordingly. Rest is quite simple. Run the update script using cmd. and follow the steps..
