They have update_online tag, so they are not flashable via offline methods.

What's the biggest obvious change that we will see? :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
So far the biggest change is that when you press Android Version in About Phone several times, an O shows instead of an N :D

But I'm guessing the Android O standby battery changes will have been implemented. I think apps have to support it though.

lmao

any performance increase? EMUI 5.1? better touch response? less bloat? i really hate the unnecessary kernel threads i see i hope they've debloated some of them
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
No, there's a considerable performance decrease, actually. Especially with graphics. I think it might be using software rendering?

I would run benchmarks, but they're not allowed to be installed. I try to install it and it says it's not able to be installed. Huawei doesn't want information about it getting out, I guess.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
That sucks

What about build.prop tweaks to force gpu rendering? Or replacing the libs for the gpu?

Also, I sent a pm to you in regards to debugging

I'm ravaging through the OS and I stumbled across /sys/kernel/debug/debug_enabled

The flag is set to "Y", I tried finding any documentation about it but I couldn't find anything online about it

1. Download and extract the update.zip file from this link: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=

2. Copy the "dload" folder to your SD Card root

3. Shut down your phone

4. Press the Volume & Volume & Power button simultaneously Release the three buttons once you see the update firmware process

Can i do that?

Use firmware finder to "push the OTA to updater" .. like what was said before.. B172 is authenticated, so use that one.

Search on the forums here - there are plenty of details on how to use FF to get the phone to update.

Nah you would need to use this... Modify it so it doesn't factory reset.. going up a version should be fine to not factory reset.. just like a normal OTA since you are using the same update you would use normally for a proper OTA system update to upgrade..

You need to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery for it to work tho...

I don't think it can be done on stock/locked bootloaders, have you tried using Firmware Finder to "push to system updater" the older version firmware.. I just told it to send my previous Full-OTA version to my system updater, and when using its proxy it actually showed up.. tho I have not tried installing. Maybe it will work? guess you could try it.. worst case is the update fails and it doesnt let you install it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ghost_in_love:
i started now to try use FF

but if it fail when i unlook Bootloader and download custom firmware how to relook again

and if i download custom room ofcource guarantee will not be valid
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leighm0:
For the forum link I posted this is not custom firmware it is just modified Recovery partitions to get Original Huawei firmware to install (they have disabled the firmware check so you don't get authorization errors). You can relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) after you are done upgrading to official firmware version you choose. Note: this voids warranty tho for unlocking it anyways so if you don't want to do that then don't unlock...

It is not custom rom.. you use the Huawei ota firmware files...

I have Model MHA-L29C636...it's worth it to rebrand in europe model ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
It's not worth to rebrand from C636 to C432. They recive OTA at the same rate, C636 recive it faster then C432.

If your phone is branded to Vodafone or some other operator then it's worth to rebrand.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeygod:
You have the same version as mine. With the C636, I find flashing to C567 (US Version) to be better since US get the update a lot faster than the Asia/Pacific version. It also depends on your location, which since I am in the US, using the US version works best for me. Asia/Pacific version last universally authorized update was 172 while US already authorized 190.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] novastar1:
Vague change logs makes this decision very hard to do as the build numbers do not match up across regions

Sometimes no change logs at all.

I myself have a c636

B172 is Rock solid... So I guess I'll wait a little more
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Higher Build number is not always newer, sometime they realese a newer firmware with small language fixes or something else for that region.

So B190 for C567 and B172 for C636 can be the same security patch and have same fixes.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeygod:
This may be true if the time overlapped (same time frame/month released) but in this case it's not. B172 was released sometime in March and has I think March security patch while B190 is released in early May with April security patch. Now if you were to compare 180 or 181 in C636, then I would say the security patch would be comparable to each other.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
That was just an exampel.

Are u sure B190 is realesed?

As i can see in Firmware Finder it's not yet signed by Huawei?

I guess OP edited the thread since I remember there used to be a subheading for "signed firmware" to let us know if those are good with FF. 190 is released but it's not signed by Huawei yet as I went the rebrand route straight to it.
