I don't get why sites write down guides on how to update, when we in fact can't update using DLOAD. Only 2 offline firmwares have been released so far, for C636 and AL00. But that guide up there will let you update to 181.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] krackers44:
Thanks for that,

I'd obviously misunderstood what's available already... Figured since I don't have the 10x zoom available like the latest release, I was behind.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] st_voss:
Yes, new users are led the wrong way by reading these guides.

The dload method probably worked with older devices so the Mate 9 articles seem to be created by copy and paste and replacing the older devices name with "Mate 9". Voila! There's your new shiny article about the Mate 9 and people klick it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] krackers44:
Yeah. I got sucked in. Noob mistake.

Sorry for polluting the board with my stupidity!

Very out of touch with behind the scenes android.

Thanks for taking the time guys
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Since you don't want to unlock your bootloader you are stuck to only one method. And that is the Firmware Finder method and try to push the latest C34B170 FULL-MF to your System Updater and hope it is authenticated. The other link mentioned by ante0 is for unlocked bootloader users only using TWRP and modified recovery images.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] krackers44:
Saw that. Figured I'm just stuck as is for now. I'll check out what you're referring to!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Texan1:
New Mate 9 owner here, have been trying to update from MHA-L29C636B172 to MHA-L29C636B180 using the Firmware Finder method and push to OTA.

System update has picked up the new version but every time I try to download and update, it gets to 100% and then tells me I need to update Package 1 which is the same size, it downloads that, tells me I need to update Package 2, same size, downloads that, Package 3 etc, etc in a never ending loop! I’ve tried using both the smaller update package and the full package. I built up an update file of over 5GB trying to do it this way and it never gets to the authentication stage!

Although I’ve always unlocked my bootloader, flashed custom recoveries and roms on my previous Android devices I’m not keen to take that path yet.

In a nutshell, am I doing something wrong or should I just wait for the official authenticated firmware update to pop up on my phone? Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:
IMHO yes you should. Don't let FF/FH turn into an obsession, just enjoy your phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Once you start download.. pause it then go turn off the proxy and then go back to the update and resume. Then you won't get the incremental download loop.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
By the way, when you unlock bootloader on mate 9, then flash a full firmware (either the update and rebrand guide, Firmware finder or funky) your bootloader gets locked again. So no real harm done. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Texan1:
Thanks [MENTION=455363]Leighm0[/MENTION], but still getting the 'authentication failed' message once downloaded. Is there anything I can do to prevent that and get the update through?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Nope, thats Huawei not authenticating the update for your device yet... you just have to wait. Took me about 3-4 weeks from the time of release before B182 got approved for my C636 device.

I just randomly check every week till its finally approved - I try not to keep checking as its pointless and a waste of bandwidth.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Texan1:
Thanks [MENTION=455363]Leighm0[/MENTION]. Unsure what the point of Firmware Finder and the proxy is then? If it allows you to find the firmware earlier, but you still can’t install it because Huawei need to authenticate it first, why not just check for updates using the built in system updater?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] krackers44:
Good question... Wondering that myself.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Nope - I still had to get FF Proxy to push it to system updater.. just needs to be authenticated by Huawei first. OTA did not show up under the standard "check for updates" options.. it might have shown up, but how long do I need to wait for that ? My device is not available in Australia, would it even get OTA updates if it werent for FF proxy?

Next time a firmware comes out, I could do a test to see if it does even get it by normal methods - and that is to push with FF Proxy, wait for the update to be authorized... then cancel it... turn off FF Proxy and wait for it to show up in my system updater naturally.. see how slow Huawei are at pushing it? Be interesting to see.

The above would probably not be relevant to an Australian sold model/device - it should get OTA updates when they are pushed out..
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Texan1:
Ah, ok, well explained mate. So there is a delay between FF and OTA finding the update and then there is a delay as to when Huawei decide to authenticate it.

Are firmware and when Huawei decide to authenticate based on model number? Geographic regions? Mobile carrier?

Mine was purchased via Hong Kong and is the MHA-L29C636 model which I believe is the version JB HiFi sell as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Not sure how Huawei do their authentication approvals.. but it's not model number.. as someone with same model as mine got theirs authenticated 3-4 weeks before mine did (they were in different country). Could be region and or mobile carrier.. who knows.

Mine was purchased from Thailand and is the LON-L29C636 but is not sold anywhere here in Australia. Correct your model is indeed sold by JB Hi-fi.. so would think you get yours approved same time as those who bought here in AU from JB. But again this could be wrong and they could base authentication on something else... Maybe serial number groupings or who knows?!?!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
Iirc they go by IMEI.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wyco:
Hi,

I have a Mate 9 Pro, Asian model but I live in the UK. I happen to have a spare NZ SIM card that I occasionally stick in just to see if there are updates. I'm on version 182 at the moment and there are plenty of updates but the phone is not authorised to get them. Bootloader is not unlocked. Is there any particular logic as which SIM slot the 'appropriate' (Asian) card needs to be in, or does it have to be in single SIM mode or some other rain dance needs to be done so that the updates get authorised and downloaded? Thanks.

ps. tried FF/FH, but as the updates aren't auth-d, I can't install them.

Thnx.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] krackers44:
I've got no idea sorry mate, my phone got one ota update that took care of my screen sensitivity issues so I haven't looked into anything further since then. Good luck!

This is the latest CM 11 AND CM 12.1 builds directly from LineageOS source.

BUTTER SmoOTH AND FAST

Built with the 4.9 toolchain.

SUPER IMPORTANT BEFORE FLASHING THIS

.......

YOU MUST DOWNGRADE TO THE STOCK CM11, THEN FLASH THIS BUILD AFTER THE DOWNGRADE.

Unlock bootloader then flash back to stock.

YOU MUST DOWNGRADE YOUR MODEM TO THE APPROPRIATE ANDROID VERSION.

You must do a full wipe of the partitions or it won't flash.

If you don't downgrade the modem, you will get a black screen when making phone calls.

I just finished installation of a new motherboard in my first OPO and realized it came with CM11 05Q! I was glad to see the phone the way it looked when I first got it back in 2014. I then installed XNPH25R and plan to keep it this way for some time! Still running the Nougat on my other phones but I have to agree with you, a nostalgic ROM is nice too!

[ONE Android Development] kthejoker20:
​

You cannot dirty flash this.

You have to completely downgrade via FASTBOOT and have the old model installed.

The new package I built will then overwrite it.

Also, remember, these old roms you may have to manually enter your apn.

Yes us old timers actually had to manually enter them back then.

Does installing via fastboot erase internal sd?
[ONE Android Development] kthejoker20:
Only if you flash userdata or userdata64

For your specific situation, you can try fastboot flash all the files except userdata

Then boot into recovery, perform factory reset, then flash the new build in the recovery. Cross fingers. But be prepared for sd data loss if something goes wrong.

But the easier way to save your sd, just copy everything to your PC via USB cable. It will save you a headache, plus it's good practice to have a back up. Then you can just fastboot everything for the full downgrade and then transfer your files back after the downgrade.

Thanks for your effort.

In fact, the installation doesn't need the stock CM11 fast boot, I installed LOS-11 by using following steps

1.) Wiped everything except Internal storage using TWRP (Was in Android Nougat)

1.) Flashed Firmware_cm11s

2.) Flashed LOS-11
[ONE Android Development] kunalshgkr:
I first installed cm11 44r via fastboot and after flashing your cm11 zip via twrp I'm getting error

"updater process ended with error 7

Error installing the zip file".
[ONE Android Development] kthejoker20:
Download all those stockl cm 11 fastboot files, unzip them. Then place this file inside the unzip directory., get into bootloader mode, and double click nukeflash.

Your phone may reboot once. Then just go back into the bootloader mode and double click the file again.

If it fails, either you don't have adb, fastboot installed or your drivers are not working. If you can boot to a recovery, just flash a different image, you over your head.

[ONE Android Development] nagdevmani:
my total ram is displayed lower than actual, why is it so??
[ONE Android Development] nthacks:
That was a common problem back in the old days when people tried to downgrade from lollipop to KitKat, so I assume it's the same problem.

There never was a definitive solution to it, the general solution was to flash the 28k engineering or something, build but it worked only as long as you stayed on that build. (The link which they shared for that 28k is now invalid)

People have tried reflashing everything through fastboot again but not been successful, but you could try it out.
[ONE Android Development] ashutoshmn:
what custom kernels are supported if someone really wants full control?
[ONE Android Development] kthejoker20:
I couldn't tell you. Most the current kernels are compiled for android 7, not 4.4

So, you would have to do some digging on old posts for compatible kernels. or cross compile your own.

There were a lot. But on the other hand, they may not play well.

if you want more control, install xposed framework on this rom, way less of a headache.

Thank you for this kitkat rom, i really appreciate your work. I would like to try the cm11 kitkat version. OP mentions about the screen blacking issue while making calls due to modem issue, i had that issue when i tried other kitkat roms few days back. I know i have to revert to stock kitkat before flashing. XNPH05Q is the last kitkat firmware for our device. My question is reverting to XNPH05Q firmware is enough or we have to revery back to a much older firmware. If possible could the dev post a link for the correct modem that we need to flash before flashing this cm11 rom? it would be really useful for many and also will prevent the screen black issue while making calls.

Also please someone help with a mirror download link for the cm11 rom. Mega links blocked by isp in our country. i tried using vpn but still it wont download properly.
