Thanks!

Glad you found it useful.

Hi,

Thx for your awesome collection of how-to's and how everything works!!!!

Tried to start with all the stuff like you did, but some things were/are too strange for me, so i decided to wait until i found an "encyclopedia" like this :):good:

Saved a lot of time i guess

So again thx for your great work. Appreciate that
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi saurabhg9, do you mean that you can rebrand to another region using Firmware Finder? I thought that you only can install the same region roms by it.

Thanks for the update!

Cheers!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabhg9:
Yes.

There are 2 steps to rebranding.

First step is to ensure that your oeminfo files match that of the targeted region. This can be easily done through twrp.

Second step is to flash that regions firmware using FF.

As mentioned in my guide, you might not be able to flash the bleeding edge versions (you need paid services i..e. funky for that). But if you keep things simple and reasonable then you can get the huawei approved ones of most of the regions (e.g. B156 through FF has been verified personally by me for Europe. I haven't tried higher versions since even this version is fairly new and good)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabhg9:
Also I have read that to flash C636, you do not even need to flash the oeminfo of that region (asia).

Haven't verified this personally but have read some guys do it successfully while they were trying to revive their messed up Europe (C432) phones and they had just placed the C636 UPDATE.APP in dload folder and installed it using the Huawei Updater Mode (3 button method)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, if you restore a different oeminfo are you abe to boot normaly afterward?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

Ok, but the people who did that didn't change the region in the end, they ronly recover the region they already had, don't they?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabhg9:
Sure, it all depends on what you would like to achieve.

The posts that I had read, people flashed C636B110 (without changing oem) to revive their phones and then move back to their original regional firmwares.

The purpose was revival. Also I would guess that this was more as an exception than the rule (as many things with C636B110 are)

Instead, If the purpose is rebranding i.e. using other region's firmware then you should change the oeminfo to the target before flashing the target firmware.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, and do you think you can restore different oeminfo region and boot normally to use Firmware Finder for install that new region? I read nobody has done that, only the same original region. Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saurabhg9:
Hmm... good point. This needs to be verified in practice.

"Bootloader is Locked -> "OEM Unlock" setting is greyed out"

That's backwards, isn't it? My bootloader is UNlocked and it's greyed out. If I relock it, the toggle is switchable again.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swan Princess:
Well I completely disagree with you on the "keeping phone rooted with a custom recovery to unlock all of its power" That's just silly! The AL00 firmware doesn't contain much bloat, that can't be removed without root and the phone runs just fine without it! Never been a fan of rooting, or customizing my phone. Not on the Note 4, and neither will I do it on this one. When I get it. I just don't see any point in doing so, everything ought to work just fine as it is.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
You can:

Go to www.emui.com.

Click on the 'Download' link.

Click on the 'Unlock Bootloader' link right beneath the search bar.

Login or register.

Accept terms.

Unlock using Imei and such.

I'm not sure if you still have to wait 14 days after registering an account until you can unlock.

Okay, maybe somebody can answer this for me. I have read through all the pages and searched a bit. I unlocked, installed TWRP, did not root(the reason why will become clear). Yes, I did a data wipe in TWRP before rebooting. Next, I installed one of the debloated ROM(based on build #194). Installed Magisk V14.0 according to the ROM creator's directions. I was getting a weird issue with NFC, so I wanted to go back to stock. I downloaded and flashd the stock recovery. I am downloading the C567B190 firmware right now. Thinking I just put the b190 firmware on the SD and then reboot to recovery and the phone should auto-update back to B190. Does any of this sound right? The Mate 9 is a new device for me, but android flashing and such is not.

TIA
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, that method doesn't work, you should use this one twice, first choose rebrand and second update.

This is by far the best write-up I have seen for any type of moding . Wish I had seen this thread before I tried to update my phone it would have saved me some time and confusion.

There are some small errors but these are likely because of changes in tools/software since the time it was written.

after rooting automatically switched off

I rooted my mate 9 and after rooting my phone switch off automatically 2-3 times a day, is it a hardware problem or soft. Flashing stock firmware would resolve this or not. Is there a way that I can get warranty(as warranty is void after rooting). Help me.

Link issue

Is anyone else getting a blank page when you click the link for the bootloader unlock code?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] skeltonh:
If you are running a web browser, like Firefox, and have 3rd party extensions (such as AdBlock+, DesktopOnly, etc.) it could be interfering with the web page. Try just using Chrome to access it.

As for me, I called their customer service number (here in the USA) and got my bootloader unlock code without too many problems. The person that will answer your call may be overseas and will have to call their bosses to get authorization to give you the code. Just be patient with them. It is an unusual request for them.

They'll want to verify your device, when you purchased it, etc. Be sure to have everything at hand when you call. After that they send you an email with the code it in. Print it out for future unlocks, as your device will relock if you add certain OS versions to the device.

Lastly, if you are wanting to get Android Oreo in the USA, it would be better that you wait. I was told they would be releasing it soon but had to overcome some licensing problems with USA carriers. My MHA-L29C567 is running B197 (Custom ROM, See forum for Mate 9) without problems. Only had to remove and re-add Xposed and Magisk to insure I could use my banking apps and Android Pay as a "Trusted" device. (It does not remove the warning screens because of the changed recovery agent)

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

You'll need to call Huawei and get the boot loader unlock code. After that it should be easy to unlock the boot loader, load TWRP (3.1.1.x) and then load what you want. I'd help but I won't call Huawei for you as they will want to link the device to your personal information.

Got the same thing using chrome on my phone, cure was to "request desktop page" then it showed up as normal, I don't think they have a page that will show up in a "mobile" browser, hence the blank page

Please, someone point me in the right direction.

I am super new to this phone, only 1 day of use and I want root on it. I have read that for the root process the only thing I need is to:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash TRWP through ADB

3. Flash SuperSu.zip

And that's it? Please, I am sorry for bothering you guys, I only not want to mess up my phone.

I rooted using the "old" method, so my phone is unencrypted. Is there any way to get back to encrypted?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lexelby:
A: yes, but it's a pain.

I was in the unfortunate position of being FRP-locked but with TWRP installed, as the OP described. This meant that the only way to get back to encrypted was to reflash the whole device.

The only way to do that was to rebrand, so I carefully followed the rebranding instructions and promptly bricked my phone. Oops. I had to use funkyhuawei to rebrand again (maybe I screwed up? Or maybe I didn't need to rebrand with FH...) and use eRecovery with FH to get my phone back to stock. The first couple tries didn't work, and the instructions had a few inconsistencies, but the FH support person really helped guide me through it. They even gave back some credits that I lost when the first couple tries didn't work.

End result: phone wiped to stock, branded to c636 (used to be c567, US) and everything works great. This time I rooted using the OP's method and unlocked, and I'm FRP unlocked too. I'm guessing the decrypting FRP-locks the phone.

Now I've put back on the stock recovery, as the OP suggests. I believe if I hadn't been FRP-locked, I could have re-encrypted by flashing the BOOT.IMG and using stock recovery to wipe my phone. Live and learn.

As a note for those curious, I see no problems so far in staying with c636. I was worried that would mean my phone wouldn't have english text, but I was able to select English / United States as the language just fine.

Now I'm going to go try to relax after the stress of trying to unbrick my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mocsab:
I use my S3 lightly - email - browsing - little stuff when I don't want to use my computer and my phone screen is too small. I leave the power on - so I can simply pick it up and used when I need it.

I am currently at 45 hours - with 90% remaining - and blown away by how well this tablet conserves battery. I am rooted - and I am using a case that puts the tablet to sleep with the cover closed, so that probably helps. BUT, I have never seen this kind of battery life on any of my cell phones over the years...even when I use them lightly like I do this tablet.

I am using it very lightly right now (I use it more when I am traveling) but I just wanted to share for anyone reading this considering getting a new tablet. The Galaxy Tab S3 is a GREAT tablet - wonderful camera, great screen, awesome battery, now I am just hoping someone will offer some development soon - I would love to be able to use Samsung Themes (I tried installing the Samsung themes ap from Apk Mirror (didn't work) and tried researching how to do it and I couldn't figure how to do it.

Amazing, my Tab S3 was at 100% charge the night before at 20h30. Left it on my desk on standby all night and next morning at 10h20 picked my tab and was amazed to see battery still at 100%, location, Wi-Fi & bluetooth on all the time. So nearly 14 hours on standby.

Now around 20 mins use during the day, and at 17h40, battery was 95%. So 21 hours after, 95% juice left. Well I hope that kind of satisfaction is not short lived.

Flashed back to AQF3 XAR version from KOO AQF5 version and no dice still. Nor did I expect since the BTU AQF3 had the same issue before and the CSC code shouldn't affect something like at all. For those for are not having this issue, what is the date of manufacture for your device (should be on the box)? Wouldn't put it past Samsung to have done a stealth HW fix for it without acknowledging the problem to avoid a Note 7 style recall . Use Phone Info app from play store to find this out.

I can confirm the great battery life when wifi during sleep is turned off. It's the best I've seen on any Android tablet.

I don't actually care about wifi when the tablet is sleeping. I've set it to stay on when the tablet is being charged which is useful when I'm downloading stuff while the tablet is not being used.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] undertaker2k14:
I tested out the LTE version SM-T825 of this tablet as someone said that this version doesn't have the wifi bug but that is not the case, it still has the very same drain issue. I did notice, however, that the drain issue went away when I was at a friend's place using an old integrated comcast router/modem, but that brings little comfort since it seems that most common routers do cause the drain on this tablet. And again in my home with the 2X WRT1900AC, my old Tab S2, S7 and current S8+ had no issues with wifi power drain so this is definitely something in the Tab S3 that causes the issue with most modern routers (tried just the 2.4 Ghz channel, an ASUS 68U and N11, an older netgear and the drain was still present).
