I'm on B158, do I need to download all the updates in sequence or can I go straight to the lastest B188 update?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
You can update directly to B188, no need to download other versions.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] GunnyHighway82:
I checked FF Now we have B189 but when I press "check firmware access with IMEI it said the firmware is not approved for installation . which one is OREO ? stable
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
I'd double check... the 180 builds may just be Nougat versions.

The Oreo I'm on is 321
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
Just add a model MHA in ff and search, the oreo will be shown as MHA-L29 8.0.0.321(c185) or MHA-L29 8.0.0.360(c636).
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vikramdhani:
Does anyone know when are they going to launch it on US models?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
There is MHA-L09 8.0.0.361(C432) in FF. The version is since yesterday. Has anyone tried it? Is this official Oreo for C432?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] GunnyHighway82:
But it said c185log. Is it a beta?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
i am using c185 oreo on my mate 9 with out any beta notification , but you can try 8.0.0.360(c636) thats a full oreo having no log with c636.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] GunnyHighway82:
sorry if I am skeptical. but when I cheked the firmware it said not supported.It is not dangerous to install c636 on c185. I dont have root, evrething lock.

The firmware is dated on nov when the chinese L00 version has been issued on dec. How it is possible?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] k4fari:
For these kind of queries you can ask huawei :p, btw every region has its own firmwares and release dates. c636 is international version thats why its updates are more speedy than any other region (including china, middle east and europe etc ).

about your second query of c185 to c636 , you will have to unlock bootloader, then you shall have to change the oeminfo and then you shall be able to install other region firmware, but its better for you to wait for official release of oreo.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kermex:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xantihistaminex:

I typed in MHA as a model and went through the list. I can't see a 8.0.0.321(C185) for my L29. I even cleaned my glasses :laugh: Is it out or on the way?

If your phone is working well with the upgrade, I would wait. I've read too many horror stories about messing with the inerds of the phone. Oreo will be along for us, eventually! Just saying...

flash this Oreo firmware by HWOTA, system becomes stranger

after flash this Oreo firmware by HWOTA by rebranding, it becomes system 8.0.0.42 (005u), but normally it should be MHA-L29 8.0.321(C185log) , it seems should flash twice , first time rebranding, second time same brand just updating.

but when i flash the system, i can't use HWOTA anymore , maybe HWOTA still can't support Emui8.0 system.

anyhow, how can I flash my system again ? i put into the 3 firmwares zip files into SD Card, try to use TWRP flash by SD Card again, but it doesn't work .

how to solve ? anybody better solution ?

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tom6547:
FINALLY, FF approved the Oreo update for my phone. It's working well, so far, with no noticable glitches or bugs.

The only thing is an extra notification in the status bar telling me that my VPN (OpenVPN) is running in the background. The VPN icon is there, as usual, but now the extra one. No biggy but can't find the off switch. :confused:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunrider07:
Has anyone notice, 8.0 for c185 was removed on FF site?

Wasn't aware of that, I usually search only MHA-L29 8.0 instead of C185.

About your previous query, I didn't experience such, everything seems working normal from battery to its visual appearance.

Haven't you updated yet?

If you update and it works really perfect, except that little detail of not being able to create custom shortcuts

First time to hear that.....custom shortcut?

How exactly, didn't not see that anywhere or even hear about it :confused:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobraxxx123:
Direct access to some application, personalized because I like to change the name, in used applications of Nougat it worked but in Oreo no, basically what I want is to change the name of the shortcuts, but neither does it create direct access to the Play Store applications, only appear in the drawer of the application and then I have to drag to the desktop

New Firmware
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] selfprint:
Hi

It actually displays this version, but when I check it after imei tells me it is not approved. Approved for someone?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobraxxx123:
It is not yet approved, but in a short time it will be. There he says he has a security patch but we will have to see if there is anything else
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] selfprint:
For me, the previous version B360, did not work correctly. He showed me the mixed settings and certain names were passed into Chinese. And some applications like flashlight did not work. So I went back to the B188 with HiSuite. Hope this it will be ok.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobraxxx123:
It must be a bad installation, to my really the 360 I work perfectly in all aspects
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] selfprint:
It is also a possibility although I do not think it was the case because I made the installation without any errors and when I saw the problems I made the return to B188, I reset the phone to the factory settings and reinstalled the B360 would be the same problems and I quit this version.

I've updated several times with Firmware Finder and I've never had problems or errors up to the B360.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tanktop67:
I had the same issue firmware finder shows a 360 firmware dated 31-01-2018, flashing this introduced Chinese characters and odd menu descriptors for me also. There is an ealier 360 firmware shown by ff dated 03-01-2018 flashing this got back to normal menus and no Chinese characters. Once flashed I had to wipe the cache and do a factory reset to get the phone out of a bootloop.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] selfprint:
Yes, it seems that it's exactly the same problem that I've got, with firmware dated 31-01. So if I'm not the only one with this problem it means it was not just a setup problem. But I connected the phone to HISUITE, I checked the updates and told me that I have the latest version but i can return to a previous stable version. I started this command and that installed the B188 and everything worked perfectly, without any bootloop.

Everything was very weird at that 360 version. Anything I was looking for in settings, was very hard to find because they were mixed and some were in Chinese.

Was prepared to wait for official release, but...

have the updates restored the data usage cycle start date for Sim card?

The primary annoying thing with EMUI5.0 Can't understand why some moron decided to remove a basic stock android feature.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oxy_x:
Using FF I can install B360, B370, B371 but only full versions MF or PV, never UPDATE versions.

This is my experience :

The problem of Chinese characters with versions> B360 I have solved it with a factory reset (backup Hisuite - factory reset - restore).

Unfortunately there remains a problem with the 5x5 icons in Home: they remain too detached and overlap. I tried everything, but there was nothing to do.

Other problems with Home icons in versions B370 / 371:

1 sliding icons not aligned with the fixed ones

2 with 5x4 icons become huge overlapping.

3 removing the navigation bar under fixed icons appears text, sometimes overwhelming.

I've tried modifying characters and display size but it does not resolve.

Only I have this problem?

Sorry translated english.

IngleseSpagnolo

392/5000

From the wrong menus, the way to manage the fingerprint and the name of the device I understood that, I do not know how, I had installed the firmware "PRO", so I re-installed B185 through Hisuite (all ok), then installed again B360 (all ok ) and at this point I immediately got via OTA B371 (all ok). Right now I received the B372 version. Security path March 1. at the moment everything is ok! :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sbd3:
Suddenly received B189, B191 then Oreo MHA-L29 8.0.0.362(C636)

.. and it's showing a fourth update.. 366

... and the moronic deletion of stock Android data cycle setting continues (for anyone chasing the same information.)

I will hope the rest of it delivers some useful improvement.
