Hi same here got lte version firmware stock b009 no other updates or root. And there is OTA update version proposed to 303. I bought it in germany european version.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
Anybody with W09 (WiFi only version) got the OTA?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tenson22000:
Nothing here in france :( . WiFi model.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
Is your M3 on the latest MarshMallow version? Mine is on Nougat written with Firmware Finder. I highly doubt it will get any updates in the state it is now.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] trashcooky:
I have emailed Huawei for info on an approved/official update for the WiFi only model which is currently BTV-W09C100B006 and they say they have not released a final OTA. They advised me to keep an eye on their official website.

Meanwhile, I am well content to wait for the official OTA as my M3 blows all my previous Android tablets out of the water and I don't intend to root this yet as it does everything I want and I can't see that much of a gain going from android 6 to 7.

Nougat promotes the ability of split screen but the B006 M3 has this anyway.

I am sure it will come, probably when places like PC World and Curries actually start stocking the M3.

I like the Nougat interface design a lot more than MarshMallow. I do not feel the need to root my Mediapad M3 too. Nougat has a lot more under the hood. My tablet sleeps very, very well without missing notifications. I know Nougat handles interrupts and CPU wakeups better because I tested it on my old tablet (went through AOSP 6.0.1, then flashed LineageOS in the end). I noticed the same better battery life on my old tablet as I see it now with Mediapad M3.

Local Huawei representatives do not tell anything. Their social media flow is one way, they do not answer to questions anywhere (Twitter or anywhere else). Their response to emails is also safe, they never mention any release dates so that they do not be held accountable if that date is not met.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] trashcooky:
I got the feeling that Huawei don't want to talk. I shall certainly accept the Nougat OTA when it does finally arrive though, as you point out, and as others have said - it gives even better battery life. I understand this is partly from its design to shut down background app activity and also unnecessary services until required.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] mossief1965:
Yes, downloading now.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
I rolled back to MarshMallow and I got the OTA as soon as I connected my tablet to WiFi. I got the same version as [MENTION=8411598]tenson22000[/MENTION]. Finally, it took them a while. The OTA appeared as authorized in Firmware Finder too. I am glad to have it officially.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] MarkMRL:
I rolled back but no ota here in Italy yet. I'm going to keep the tablet in this sorry nougatless state for a while now, too lazy to update it again, hopefully an ota update to nougat comes soon. Lte version by the way.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
I compared the 2 zips with all the previous ones from B302 firmware and they are not matching any of them. There is no actual difference in functionality, but it is not a development build anymore and it should get any OTA in the future.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Flavio:
I need a little help.

I bought a second hand M3 today (my 3rd in a year) and I thought upgrading it to the latest official Nougat B303 firmware would be easy.

Something went wrong and I now have an M3 with EMUI 5.0/Android 7.0, no virtual keyboard installed, no Bluetooth and Build number NRD90M test-keys.

I have managed to get the bootloader unlock code so I can unlock the bootloader.

I have also managed to flash TWRP.

I tried the Android 6.0 C100B009 rollback package from Huawei but the intermediate (91,2 MB) Update.app won't install. It says "Software install failed!" "Failed to check the update package" Please download the package again.

I have managed to install GBoard so I could install Firmware Finder. I can change the model from NRD90M test-keys to BTV-DL09C100 or BTV-DL09C209 and download the relevant firmware ZIP files but which one should I pick and then what do I do?

There is no Updater App on the M3.

The original firmware was C209B009.

Any help to get the M3 to C100Bxxx firmware would be greatly appreciated.

Update #1:

I somehow managed to get C209B303 installed and got rid of the NRD90M test-keys.

An OTA update to C209B306 does not work.

Update #2:

I tried flashing C100B303 and there were no errors. However after a reboot I was back at the NRD90M test-keys build without virtual keyboard etc! This thing is driving me nuts.

Update #3:

I managed to install Firmware Finder again and downloaded C209B306 Full. After flashing this in 2 parts I am now at C209B306.

So how do I get from C209B306 to C100B303?

Update #4:

After some searching I found this post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72148685&postcount=108

Finally I am on C100B303. I guess the secret was changing the oeminfo file.

Unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP and rooting was now easy.

Update #5:

After installing all my apps and setting everything up I now see that my Bluetooth won't turn on. Is there a simple fix fo this?

Update #6

Managed to solve this by flashing the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip package from TWRP.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] MarkMRL:
This is the same version that I installed through firmware finder when I got the tablet a month ago, the version was B303. Disappointing that it's still using that ancient security patch and Android 7.0.

Anyway, could you please tell me if low resolution power saving mode works? Because on the one I flashed from FF it didn't make any difference. Also magazine lockscreen subscriptions didn't work but I don't really care about that.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
I can switch on "Low resolution power saving" and I can also see that battery life is up a few hours when I do that. The main difference is that this build is not a developer build and is an actual final build. When I was trying to update it to the latest version (to flash the OTA that appeared recently), I noticed that HiSuite had an option to choose between developer and stable build. This appeared when I wanted to reinstall the latest available build. Huawei must be working on an update for the old security patch.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] MarkMRL:
Yes, the estimated battery life goes up but nothing actually changes when you enable it. If you recall, on the previous version that mode lowered the screen resolution to 1920x1200, on this one the option is undoubtedly broken as it does nothing at all other than adding 30 minutes to the estimated battery life. This build is definitely the same as the one that you could get through FF since last month. I saw an additional update of around 500Mb but it was impossible to install it through FF, maybe that one fixes these last few issues and updates the security patch, I would try it if I were you, worst case scenario it will tell you the update has failed.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4156070]MarkMRL[/MENTION]: how do you know that the option does not do what it is supposed to do? How can you verify that the resolution has been lowered?

I do not want to update with FirmwareFinder anymore, I want to have OTAs installed so I do not have to reset it like before.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] MarkMRL:
You can easily tell by just looking at the screen. To have empirical proof, here's a screenshot after enabling that mode on marshmallow.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4156070]MarkMRL[/MENTION]: I was actually thinking that it should be visible there. You are correct, it does not change the actual displayed resolution, but I am very satisfied with the battery life, mine is WiFi only.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] daser4berlin:
I think Huawei has changed this feature... When u read it change the resolution when it is necessary it mean when the battery ist under.... Prozent automatically when u set it on on emui 5.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] MarkMRL:
Nope, it's broken, I tried it for many days on B303 and it never kicks in. It sucks because this mode really made a difference in battery life, especially when messing around with 3D games, it increased the battery life by a lot.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] daser4berlin:
Ok..
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] TrollDroid:
Hi,

I am using Android Nougat 7.0 rooted on my M3. (Version 302)

While sixaxis worked just great with 6.0, now it cannot initiate the bluetooth server.

Bluetooth works from settings.

has anyone tried sixaxis on Nougat ?

Thank

Got the OTA today in the UK on the WiFi only M3
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] sepin4:
Is there any way to install the OTA everybody seems to be getting using Firmware Finder and how? I'm on BTV-DL09C100B009 and I'm tired of waiting for the OTA to show itself normally.

Thanks.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
Have you rooted your device? If you did, this is the reason your tablet is not getting the upgrade.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] sepin4:
Nope, haven't touched it since I bought it. However I keep it without SIM because I don't need one for everyday use. I only use it with data-only SIM when I'm traveling with it abroad. So for the sake of the update I moved my second SIM from my phone to it for almost one entire day but still got not OTA update.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
Update only over firmware finder possible

B009 -> B010 -> B303

Check infos in firmware finder, is explained how update works.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
I would update to the latest available MarshMallow version with Firmware Finder, then recheck for OTA to Nougat.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] sepin4:
For the upgrade to B010 there seems to be no problem. However for B303 there are a lot of choices:

[IMG="FirmwareFinder_list"]http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/D4/91/22a7a8dfc338d491.jpg[/IMG]

I assume that the latest builds(90369 & 90396) are the ones people are starting to get over the air. However how do I get to those builds from B010? Also do I need to do factory reset before or after I update?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
You need to flash a full firmware, 2,404 GB 903367 for example.

You can try to update without wipe, however when you have problems after the update you need to do a full wipe.

Because Android version update is best to do a clean update.

Do not go directly to B303, Bluetooth and some apps won't work. I've tried it already :)

I own same device: BTV-DL09
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] sepin4:
OK, I'll update to B010 and see if the OTA appears there. If not I will update to B303 with Firmware Finder.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] trashcooky:
As far as I can see the 303 update is for 4g sim M3's and the 302 update is for those with only WiFi M3's
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
There is a B302 firmware for LTE version also, but is older.

The latest available version is B303.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] tmihai20:
It is not correct. The LTE/4G version just got more updates. What you see there are just the versions for your device only. I do not see B303 when I am looking for updates in Firmware Finder.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
Because WIFI version has B302 as latest update.

B303 is only for LTE version.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] sepin4:
Mine is with 4G. Anyway I managed to install 303(build 90367) and so far it seems great. After that I tried to update to the latest build using Firmware Finder but the system update service freaked out and started downloading every 303 build available(thankfully I have lots of data on my plan because 6GB went out of the window just like that). I'll probably leave it as it is since I see no problems with it.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
You can't update to those OTA's. Download goes in a loop and file is downloaded over and over again. Tried that already :)

Enjoy :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] sepin4:
Ha, wish I knew that earlier. :D Well I'm OK with the current build, everything seems to be working so I really don't need to update. Thanks for the help.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
You are welcome. [emoji111]️

Only for the record: B010 is base for all Nougat firmwares ;)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] nicolap8:
False. The Nougat upgrade is a FULL ROM and can be installed over every other.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
Yes it can, but some Huawei apps are not installed and bluetooth won't work. I tried that already, twice.

From B010 works without problems, all apps and bluetooth.

If you have another tested workaround, post it here.

when did you purchase yours?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] trashcooky:
I purchased my M3 from Ebuyer in January for £309.00 - prices online have since dropped but in the S/E of England you still can't buy one in the stores. I first heard whispers about an OTA to Nougat and EMUI 5 as early as April, but only got it recently.

mine suffers from little screen glitches and App kick outs too much, I haved tried cleaning and resetting but it doesnt help much, so im hoping the nougart update fixes this.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] trashcooky:
Oh dear, that doesn't sound right. Over the years I have owned so many Android tablets, some I have rooted and reflashed with customised firmware - but I have never had anything to come close to my Huawei Mediapad M3. I even use it for video editing. So far it has responded well to every task I throw at it. Hope you get your glitches sorted OK.

Sharing the experience that worked for me

Hi folks,

I'd like to share what worked (great) for me in case that's useful for some EU guy wondering (and wandering ...) how to safely update to latest Emui 5.0 + Nougat:

1- I started off w/ my device firmware being = BTV-DL09C100B003 (yes, quite old non-updated since I bought it) + unlocked bootloader + TWRP + rooted

2- I did not need to use the dload method nor do a TWRP removal nor do a bootloader relock nor go through step updates (B006 > B009 > B010 > B302 as can be read before), instead I merely followed the instructions given here http://www.stechguide.com/download-huawei-madiapad-m3-nougat-firmware/,.

Precisely the already installed TWRP was a great and rapid help for ugrading my M3 smoothly, that is:

from the URL above, I downloaded and stored update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip into some local subdir in SDcard (e.g. Download\Update)

booted in TWRP recovery mode

used the Install menu to install update.zip - no reboot

used the Install menu a 2nd time to install update_data_full_hw_eu.zip + rebooted

note: during the 2 ZIP installs, I got some red warnings saying it could not mount /system and /cust or something ... but apparently that did not pose a problem.

3- At reboot the system and Emui self updated and ... bingo, after a few tens seconds I could get the nifty new "bubbles and huawei logo" welcome screens.

4- When I got to Settings/System update, it found the new FW build "303" available OTA, which I downloaded and update right away (200MB or so)

So now I stand with a shiny new BTV-DL09C100B303 and everything looks great :)

Apparently nothing was broken, I did not go checking through everything yet but all my apps, data, and settings seem to be standing there at the exact same place (I thought I would have to reinstall everything but apparently not :good::good::good: !!!) even the fingerprint records were preserved.

The only thing that was nuked in the process is TWRP and root. But I think that should be no problem to reinstall through ADB and/or SRK as I did before. If I encounter any issue reinstalling these I'll share here.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] lolo83560:
Just to confirm the rest:

TWRP reinstall went just fine, of course one needs to get one of the latest brews that corresponds to EMUI 5.0 -> twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img in my case - thanks to the good info given by ruinb0w in here.

ROOT went also just fine by mere flashing of SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 via TWRP Install menu thanks to the good info given by Lukanz in here (post #5) no need to go through ADB and sideload procedure!!!

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] sepin4:
So I've found a few problems with the 90367 build from Firmware Finder. First like other people have already noticed the "Low resolution power saving" doesn't seem to do anything which isn't such a big deal for me. Second it seems that I can't connect to hidden WiFi networks. And third it turns out that the OpenVPN client doesn't work(when I import the configuration it says it can't find the certificates and they are in the same directory). However not sure if the last one is a problem with the build or with OpenVPN for Android 7.0.

Anybody else using 7.0 from Firmware Finder having the same problems?

Edit: Also, could someone with BTV-DL09 running on the B303 from OTA tell me what their security patch level is. Thank you.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Fabio Bassi:
Hi, I have the Mediapad M3 and I updated manually few days ago following this site steps (TheDroidGuru). I have the BTW-DL09 model and after the installation on the device there was a "failed update" screen, I booted on and there was android 7 though. I noticed that there weren't the huawei apps (like HiCare) but I didn't payed too much attention to that. (After the update I erased the dload folder and files)

Today I tried to turn on the bluetooth but it wouldn't work, I powered off the device and turned it back on, but I saw a redtexted screen wich said "failed device identification", I pressed the power button as it was written, to boot it anyway and it was still everything fine, excluded the bluetooth. I then decided to reset the device hopeing that would work. I saw again that screen of failure but after that the emui 5.0 beginning hadn't the keyboard anymore D:

In order to solve this I had to skip all the introduction and manually install the google keyboard via apk. Now it seams everything is back to when I "installed" emui 5.

I really want to fix my device because it is a really recent gift and I don't won't to ruin it
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
You need to do the following: downgrade to B009 first.

B303 -> B009

There is a downgrade package.

After that update to B303 via Firmware Finder:

B009 -> B010 -> B303

I have updated my device 2 times like this.

I own Mediapad M3 LTE European version.
