I have the WiFi only version and I updated mine to B301 Nougat firmware.

I have very good speeds through direct download on PC or using Firmware Finder on the tablet (5 MB/s on PC and an average of 4.5 MB/s on the tablet).
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] daser4berlin:
i am on b302 wlan version since yesterday...dont have seen any changes in system ..the only new is the security patch from 05.05.17...

performance seems the same like on b301 and about the batterylife i will see in the next few days...:)

Thanks mate ?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] crzycrkr:
Have you detailed your process somewhere? I've tried with my wifi model and keep ending up with the test key version and no Bluetooth or updater
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
I think other users have. I did it through Firmware Finder. Be sure to select the correct version of your tablet in Firmware Founder (BTV-W09C100 or BTV-DL09C100 for the European version). The C100 is the localized version for Europe. (Temporarily) set up manual proxy to localhost, port 8080 in WiFi settings or even in network settings if you are using the 4G version. Keep Firmware Finder opened, then go to system Updater and it should find a new update (to Nougat). Download the update, follow the instructions from Updater and you should have a fully functional Nougat Mediapad M3. Do not forget to go back to no proxy after the update to have connectivity again. If Updater does not find anything new, close Settings from memory or the Updater itself.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tsabasid:
Regarding download speeds, maybe I am doing something wrong. Here's whatI am doing exactly.

Wifi settings, modify, proxy settings(localhost,8080).

Open FirmwareFinder. Select the desired firmware.

Press send to updater

Go to updater--check update--quick update. For 2,5GBs it takes about 2 hours to download. My line maxes at about 5MB/s

Do I need to first press download on the firmware finder and then send it to updater?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4018504]tsabasid[/MENTION]: I tried that, the Updater does not use files downloaded by Firmware Finder. I am getting pretty good speeds, it takes about 10 minutes to download everything. The "Send to updater" button only opens the optional app that shows the instruction on how to send it to Updater. Download speed should only be influenced by WiFi access point (overall Internet download speed) and signal quality.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tsabasid:
Wow, some bad luck guys. Tried to do the rollback thing to go back to Marshmallow. I put the relevant update.app in the dload folder in the sdcard, the package installed successfully, it wrote UPDATE SUCCESS, and since then I am in a booloop. It only boots into something called Huawei erecovery. I tried installing again using the power, vol up vol down, it does it successfully, but still bootloop. Can I do anything?

In the erecovery there's an option that says" Download latest version and recovery but it fails everytime.

Edit" Phew, finally got out of it. Turned it off. Pressed VOLUP + POWER, and did a factory reset there. Now it booted.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
If you are rolling back to MarshMallow, after the small rollback package you need to flash a full MarshMallow package as well. That small rollback package is probably writing some firmware stuff that is not enough by itself. Also, if you upgraded to Nougat and you have issues, I would recommend to go back to MarshMallow, have a fully working tablet, then to update to Nougat through Firmware Finder and proxy hack.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tsabasid:
Thanks mate, that's exactly what I did. I went to b009 , now I am on to b010, and waiting for the b303 to download. All through FF and updater via the proxy trick. After the previious experience I will stop messing with the phoneapp method unless absolutely necessary.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] crzycrkr:
Exactly what I've done. It never seems flash both zips
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
[MENTION=2691588]crzycrkr[/MENTION]: Huawei must have done something server side, because now B302 for my W09 does not appear to be authorized anymore by IMEI as it was a few days ago. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe you guys wanting to update from MarshMallow won't be able to because of the same problem. I say we wait a little longer. Maybe Huawei caught up with the XDA forums and now wants to release Nougat on its own terms.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
Did you update to B303? Any problems? :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tsabasid:
Yes, I upgraded to b303, no problems whatsoever.

I'm trying to update to my BTV-W09C100B301 to B302, but update stops with "Authentication failed" error. I have used Firmware Finder Proxy method.

Any idea how to sort this out please?

I guess it's the same issue like mentioned here.

Try this Method. I used it to go from 301 to 303. Download the full 303 Firmware via FF, both files.

How to pass SafetyNet?

Hi all,

I just bought a Mediapad M3, European version with LTE. It came with firmware DL09C100B009. I used FirmwareFinder to update to B010 using the proxy method, then went to B303 the same way. (I did not install B301 as it was older than B010, and for B302 the "check firmware access" option with IMEI transmission in FirmwareFinder said "not authorized", so I skipped that.) I have to say it escapes me why Huawei makes it so difficult to update stock firmwares - or are all of these inofficial Betas (which would also be bad, no security patches for 6 months then for "normal" users).

Ok, everything works fine on B303, as far as I can tell. Bluetooth is good. Only the Flashlight app says "denied" when I try to open it, but who cares ...

But one thing severely confuses and annoys me. Given that more and more apps, e.g. Netflix, require Google's "SafetyNet" to pass, I wanted to check that it indeed does. I installed "SafetyNet Test" from the Play store - and it FAILS the "CTS profile match". :rolleyes:

I would be very interested to hear if any of you have a passing SafetyNet on any of the Nougat firmwares. Luckily, Netflix 5.1 can still be installed from the Play Store, but I fear that in the future this could cause trouble for various apps.

And of course I wonder why SafetyNet fails on my device. Could it be that I installed the wrong B303 update? FirmwareFinder shows four full updates to version 303, all the same size and all from 5th of June 2017. I used FirmwareFinder's "check firmware access" option to test which of the B303 updates is authorized for install on my device. The first was not, the second was, so I installed that. But actually others are also authorized. So, could it be that I should have taken a different one? Could I just flash the different ones via the FirmwareFinder proxy method and see if it helps, or does an "update" from B303 to B303 not work that way?

This is all rather annoying, I must say. :rolleyes: Any ideas or solutions?

Cheers,

Tim
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
B302 doesn't pass safety net either.

Another Nougat firmwares are not available.

I think this firmwares are still betas, no final version.

B010 seems to be the base for Nougat update, I can't update from B302 to B303 via Firmware Finder.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] kufor:
Thanks for a tip mate, but this doesn't work as I have a Wifi only version without the Dialer.

If I download any dialer from the playstore, I can't dial the special code either.

Any clue what am I doing wrong? :confused:
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Groger:
another try. switch off the device. hold down power/vol+/vol- when the device boot the update function will be launch. be shure you have the right files in the dload folder.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
Try using the Calculator from Huawei. Use () instead of each pair of **. The SD card method only works for flashing one zip and both should be flashed at once.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] kufor:
This worked, thanks mate. ;)

To sum up, these are the steps to update BTV-W09C100 (32GB Wifi version) to latest build B302:

1 ) download the ROM in Firmware Finder

2) in file explorer go to directory "HWFF->null" in the internal storage

3) extract the "update.zip" to SDcard into directory "dload"

4) shutdown the tablet, hold Power/Vol+/Vol-

5) tablet will boot the update function and starts the update automatically, tablet resets itself and boots to EMUI

6) delete content of "dload" directory on SDcard and repeat step 3 with file "update_data_full_hw_eu.zip" and continue with steps 4 and 5

7) check the version in Settings->About tablet, should be BTV-W09C100B302

8) delete "dload" directory on SDcard
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
[MENTION=1035164]kufor[/MENTION]: this does not work if you want to upgrade to Nougat. I had bluetooth issues, apps were missing. The 2 zips have to be flashed at once, one after the other. As soon as Huawei authorizes the new firmware, we will be able to properly update with the Updater through Firmware Finder. If only the standard recovery had an option to shut down and not reboot we would have probably be able to flash them one after the other with the SD card method (even if we had to shut down our devices once to flash the second zip without actually booting). If you choose this method you may find some issues.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] kufor:
Okay, thanks for the useful info.

This was the only method that worked for me (B301 -> B302). I would of course prefer the all-in-one method via Software Update, but unless the ROM's are authorized ... :)

I'm on B303 and the SafetyNet test passes. Are you guys on root/unlocked bootloader?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
No Root, stock ROM.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tim_h:
Same as [MENTION=4512961]30adi[/MENTION] - no root, full stock ROM. SafetyNet fails. Strange! :rolleyes: Do you also have the European version of the tablet?

How did you go to B303? My path was B009 -> B010 -> B303.

Which B303 full-ROM did you install? In FirmwareFinder, there are BTV-DL09C100B303 with numbers 87293 (listed twice!?), 87598 and 87268 listed. All of them are dated 5th of June and reported with a size of 2.402 GB. "Check Firmware Access" with IMEI transmission reports 87268 as "not authorized" for me. The other three are approved. I think (not sure, though) that I installed 87598.

What is this number anyway? Some build number? Is there some dialogue where this number is listed so that I can look it up?

When you look at the "About the tablet" info, what does it display in the last field "Customized Version"? For me it says CUSTC100D001, whatever that means. Also, when I click on the entry above that "Certification", it shows some strange logo and below that "Serbia".

Does anybody know if an "update" from B303 to another B303 is possible with FirmwareFinder?

Questions about questions. I actually did not want to fiddle around with this tablet so much. :p

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4146094]Adrigt1[/MENTION]: do not update to a version that is not suited for your specific version. The WiFi version does not have dialer, like mine, we can use the Calculator to input codes for the service menu, for example.

Updated to B303, safety net passes.

B302 -> B300 Rollback -> B009 -> B010 -> B303

Nothing new, only newer kernel.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
In light of this new evidence I would say that Huawei has not authorized the upgrade from a Nougat version to the other. The proper way is to backup everything, to go back to MarshMallow, then to upgrade to the latest available version. I will keep B301 on my DL09 until there will be a final version of Nougat. I cannot and will not do this for every upgrade from now on. Many thanks to [MENTION=4512961]30adi[/MENTION] for doing this.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tim_h:
Hmmm, that is strange, because I also went from B009 -> B010 -> B303 and it fails for me.

Which ones of the B303 packages offered in FirmwareFinder did you use?

The rollback works by installing the DL09-C900B300 and then the DL09-C100B009 update from the Huawei download page, right? I don't think I will go through that procedure right now, but maybe once there is an official firmware that is also distributed via regular OTA. Or if apps that I need start to be excluded because of SafetyNet failing. :rolleyes:

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] norti:
I did the B006 - B009 update via the FF, then the B010 failed every time with every method, went straight to B302 with the dload folder method, and did this again with the B303 (the later maybe doesn't fully flash the data files, only the update.app package, I didn't notice this, upgrade was for both zip content 100%. Since I have no root, cannot check this, maybe some .so files and newer apps are left out in the second phase of the upgrade process - I compared the B302 and B303 data zip content, and those are different -, because it went from 0 to 100% under 10-15 sec)

Downloaded the B302 (before, not the one linked on this page, because it's for the Wi-Fi version) and B303 files from here (EU LTE version): http://www.stechguide.com/huawei-mediapad-m3-b303-nougat-firmware/
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
I did update like this, B009 to B302, via dload and 3 button method, but all Huawei apps were missing: themes, tablet manager, calculator....

Do you have all these apps after update?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] norti:
Yes. Did you download the second zip with the data update, replaced the dload folder's content with it (after doing the system update first, of course) and did the upgrade process again? This is what installs those apps too.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
Yes I did. Probably something went wrong.

Glad to hear that you managed to properly flash it.

Nougat is way better that Marshmallow :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tim_h:
Ok, now I am really confused. I just tested the SafetyNet status again - and now it passes!? Wtf? I am sure that it failed before. I guess Huawei has to give some hash or something to Google? Maybe it was just not yet in the database when I tested first? After all the B303 update was just a few days old at that time. Could this be?

Of course, I am happy that the problem solved itself...

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tim_h:
I think that is not totally clear. The fact that the updates are not coming up in the regular update application (without using firmware finder) probably means that these are beta versions. But I can say that B303 runs very well, and EMUI on Nougat is less intrusive than on Marshmallow. Also, security patches up to May 2017 rather than December 2016. I would update again without hesitation.
