If your bootloader is locked you are forced to factory reset, just so you know.

First off you need your bootloader unlock code.

You get it from https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index by registering, then add your device info.

Download and extract this to C:\HWOTA (or at least a path with no spaces in it.) https://mega.nz/#!Fwl3DSLT!mZYNMjzR6qznEpr5rKqgYAslxpKE6HtUd1adW71H4Q8

Download update.zip, update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip

For C636B181:

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1366/g104/v85049/f2/full/update.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...49/f2/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...hw_spcseas/update_full_MHA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip

Put the 3 downloaded zips in C:\HWOTA\update

Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip

Rename update_full_MHA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip to update_all_hw.zip.

Run update.bat in C:\HWOTA\update.bat.

Input bootloader code when it asks (if you haven't unlocked bootloader already).

When it asks, select "same brand update" and "script folder update".

After downgrade you might bootloop, if so you need to factory reset again in eRecovery.

Thanks for the reply there! very helpful atleast got me halfway understanding. still missing how to unlock Bootloader part maybe will search it later on. and also there is 2 kind of recovery mode in huawei? one is option with reboot system , wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache. other one is something you mentioned Erecovery which can access the same way just with usb plugged in.. whats the difference?

Hello! Emergency! I tried to rebrand my mobile from VKY-AL00 to L29 version. But I did not copy the THREE zip files (update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, update_data_public.zip) to HWOTA\update\ at the first time. After rebrand two times the version became ONYX D189-L29. NRD90M test-keys..... EMUI version: 3.1 and Android version: 5.1....

I could enable USB debugging but OEM unlocking is GREY.... I am unable to go to TWRP. Bootloader also said FRP locked... How can I enable this option to try all these steps again?..

How could I rebrand the phone again... Do I have to remove FRP Lock first by using DC - Unlocker 2 Client and pay them? Thanks so much for answering this question!!:crying::crying::crying:

I have tryed following many links and now i think i'm about there.. But sites is in russian and not sure what to search for..

Here's the latest Europe version for Mate Pro

http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=LON-L29C432&firmware_page=0

I would double check your version again to be safe that you indeed have the Chinese version of the Mate 9 Pro before flashing since their naming is a bit different from other region's Mate 9 Pro. So pretty much you are searching for the Europe model (to rebrand to) from this list here:

Thanks for fast reply :) .,....

I have Downloaded the 1.8GB update file from the site you linked to (the top one) - thats the correct one right ? ...

My phone has this info:

Model: MHA-AL00

Verionnumber: MHA-AL00C00B213

EMUI-Version: 5.0

Android Version 7.0

And i have made a total factory reset of the phone.....

The phone is bought when I was in Hanghzou in china 2 months ago.. So pretty sure its chinese...

What are my next steps to finish china -> european version :) ...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeygod:
You can use Google translate to translate the Russian language to English or Danish if it'll be easier but you will need 3 files. Usually this would require clicking on the file list and renaming the filelist.xml with one of the listed zip location but I have a hard time figuring out how to get a working link from the listed location for the LON model (the regular Mate 9 model was a lot easier) so hopefully someone here who flashed the LON version previously can better guide you or better yet will provide you the links for all 3 files.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] M1chiel:
Yes, it does a factory reset and all your data will be lost. You can backup with Huawei backup. Works pretty well.

Thanks again.... it seems like it was working... but when it rebooted it still was chinese.... MHA-AL00C00B213

But emui version is now 5.0.1 , was before 5.0.0

Is this normal? Do I have to wait 14 days to get the code?

Hi, everyone, in consideration that there is no official thread for the Mate 9 Lite [BLL-L23], I figure that I would ask here:

Using the Firmware Finder, I can find software updates for my device; however, when I check firmware status, it tells me that the firmware is not approved for installation. Is there still a way to install it without causing any issues with the phone?

I'd really appreciate the help, and thank you! ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] soft-touch:
You can only install via FF if approved.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Yes. Only chinese models like MHA-AL00, LON-AL00 and etc require wait for 14 days before unlock bootloader. Even if you bought chinese model with world ROM, you have to wait.

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

Yes, you can, but all things you have to do by self :)

Method in this thread based on modified recovery, that is able to skip authorization.

In general, you need: TWRP for your phone, patched stock recovery, FullOTA ROMs.

To get patched recovery, you can write to OP and send stock recovery. Or can dig how patch recovery, we will appreciate.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vince.lupe:
Strogino, thanks for the confirmation! So, what do you suggest in full???? I want to update, but neither can I find TWRP for my current EMUI 4.1. PLEASE GUIDE ME THROUGH, man... I've never used this type of phone before... I am only familiar with Samsung and LG phones that have more support.

[MENTION=1097168]mankindtw[/MENTION]

I have been having issues with my phone, so I'm not sure if you received my previous messages or not (cannot find them in sent PMs), but my name is Vince, and need some MAJOR help...

I was referred to you by someone by the XDA name of ante0, and he mentioned to me in passing that you are the master at creating modified stock recoveries. I was hoping that you'd be able to help me out?

I just recently bought a Huawei Mate 9 Lite (BLL-L23)

that has old software on it. The current build is BLL-L23C605B130, the custom version is CUSTC605D001, and EMUI is 4.1; however, I know that there are builds that are much more recent. My phone, for the life of me, just simply cannot upgrade to the recent firmware via official means.

I recently heard of Firmware Finder and found the latest firmware for my device - but, it tells me under Check Firmware Status, "Firmware not approved for installation." I also heard that there is a way to install that firmware by bypassing authorization.

I would really appreciate it if you would be so kind to create for me a modified stock recovery for my device.

I don't know any other developers who can do so, and I'm definitely not a developer myself, haha. I can't explain why my device won't update, because I know that the most recent build is B364? If I flash the software by bypassing authorization, will everything still work perfectly?

Thank you very much, Mankindtw, for your consideration... I would be extremely grateful for your help, my friend.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Try unlocking anyway. If it doesn't let you, factory reset first using erecovery. Huawei left out oem unlocking in Chinese firmware.

Backup first as it will remove things.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
The build you want to have. And remember to rename them (public zip: update_data_public.zip and HW zip: update_all_hw.zip).
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redyistone:
Still doesn'work :'(

Here is a screenshot :

I am pretty sure I followed all the steps...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
But wait. Did you place them in the update folder in the Hwota folder on your computer? If not you need to select sdcard folder, not script folder directory.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redyistone:
Sure.

I tried, SD card and update folder, but both don't work.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
And it can't be (probably) adb because it seems to push oeminfo.bin just fine. Hmm.

Make sure you have update.zip, update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip in either /sdcard/hwota/ or in hwota/update on your computer.

And check spelling :P.

Also make sure you have file extensions turned on so they're not named update_all_hw.zip.zip.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redyistone:
Everything seems to be ok :'(

But I noticed the line source is always "Script update directory", even if I choose SD card directory.

Try my edited HWOTA.sh.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3TYD5c4t4tQQ00zdjBIT0dqSEE

I have a VTR-AL00 and I found that hwota.sh is not suitable for my VTR-AL00,the chinese edition P10.

The edit is only tested on my own P10 and I don't know if it is also suitable for your P10 Plus.

You should select 1. SDCard HWOTA directory.

After running the script , I guess system will NOT be flashed in.

But you can run the script to check if oeminfo is flashed.

Then use three keys dload (三键强刷) to flash the system.(Put the update.app in sdcard,and hold volume+ , volume- and power keys to flash system.I don't know how to name it.Maybe three keys dload.)

There is my edit of the hwota.sh that success or you can edit it yourself:

on line 288 , change /dev/block/sdd5 to /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

on line 318 , change /dev/block/sdd33 to /dev/block/mmcblk0p37

on line 319 , change /dev/block/sdd30 to /dev/block/mmcblk0p34

FINALLY:

If the edit is not useful, I think you should use adb shell to check where the recovery and oeminfo partition is.

Example:

in adb shell

HWVTR:/ $ ls -l /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery_a

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2017-08-28 18:13 /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery_a -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p37

You should use below command to check and edit line 288,318 and 319

ls -l /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo

ls -l /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery_a

ls -l /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery2_a

Maybe I cannot make it clear somewhere.Sorry for that because I'm a Chinese.

Good luck!

Ok, I've mucked something up . Was previously on MHA-L29C635B130, used the tool to rebrand to L29636B181. Did first flash and then it rebooted.

Ended up reverting back to EMUI 3.01 with Android 5! And it says it is a M300.

Now when using the tool it errors and says " cannot access C:/HWOTA//oeminfo/M300*" No such file or directory if i try to rebrand again.

I then did a same brand update, and now when android loads all i get is the 3 navigation keys below and black screen. (before the same brand update, i at least had an older version of working android). I've tried re-flashing and factory resetting but it makes no difference. No bootloop, but just loads with the navigation bar. HWOTA says model: M300 Build: NRD90M.

I have adb access and twrp. Currently all unlocked. What can i do from here to get this working again?

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iGBH:
So as an update, I've figured this out. I was trying to restore back to the offline 636 version but getting no where. The 3 button recovery method touted in some threads here doesn't work so my attempt to flast the 636 oeminfo was pointless anyway. Turns out, i restored my 635 oeminfo and things started to work again. With the right oeminfo back on the phone, tried the process again using 636B181 and success. I now have a much more up to date and local firmware. Only took about 10 hours to figure that out!!!!

The WiFi button is disabled and when I try to turn it ON the button comes to off position.

All the other features work without issues.

I put the original stock ROM back and still have the same issue with WIFI.

Any known solutions for the WIFI issue with Mate 9. I purchased mine in Dubai. The stock ROM is Middle East version.

Hello everybody.

I own a P10 VTR-L09C432B150 with unlocked bootloader and root.

Some weeks ago, I got the message that update B162 is available.

I wanted to use the manual update variant from the OP. I'm not that experienced in handling such deep going things and wanted to ask you if the update method is the correct one. Will root access and unlocked bootloader be left untouched after updating?

I decided that asking first and trying then might be the better way for avoiding bricks.

Sorry if similar posts already have been made.
