Oreo is beta, so unless you enroll the beta program and get in you won't be able to install it normally.

You'll have to use HWOTA.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pardus:
Not according to this: https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-mate-9-android-8-0-oreo/

It says OTA, not beta.

And my question remains unanswered...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Official Oreo for Mate 9 should arrive in December
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Read the whole article.

Their official non beta update has not rolled out yet except for the Chinese variant AFIK and those are quotas, it hasn't rolled out to any other variant as of yet. That article was not very clear about that. When it has rolled out for your variant you will know it as it will show up in settings, system update. All those Oreo ROMs on ff are betas so they are not authorized unless you are enrolled in the beta program. You can install them, but only through the HWOTA method. If you want the official OTA update be patient, it will get to you.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

You are correct that it is Oreo for the C900 variant the reason ff says "not approved" is because it is a beta version.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pardus:
Still no update for the C900?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pardus:
And still no update for this darn phone, when is Huawei going to release an update? Android "P" is out already and no bloody update yet for this phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tharealmb:
Same here. No update for this phone.

Even worse: the security patches are from April 2017.... thats a year ago. Really bad.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
What region do you have?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tharealmb:
I'm from the Netherlands.

Firmware Finder for Huawei gives the following info:
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Hmm. You have generic international model without binding to specific region.

As I know, it has poor update history.

Maybe, it would be better to rebrand onto C432 (Europe) region.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
I think I have the same international unspecified region (although I though I was Middle East) and have been on 181 all the time until today.

Then I received an update to b182 then b188 then 370c then 371c one after the other - just now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Probably, Huawei will force C185 region to Oreo.

According experience, there are some factors which decrease chances to get update. Have C185 region while living in Kenya is one of them. I have C636 region's ROM and living in Russia. Also, I have problems with automatic updates and have to use FF to update. Not a big problem at all :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
6 hours after I wrote previous post, I received update on my device.

Without FF !
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] skeltonh:
If you should want to change from C900 to something else, But I worked for me. I have a phone that I found was IMEI registered to the middle east but during the IMEI checks via FF I found that C900 and C567 worked on mine.

My phone was originally received as C900.

Just try your IMEI against separate ROMs and you'll find the compatible ones.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah. Huawei approves imei from other regions, but you have to do rebranding procedure first to go onto foreign region's ROM.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pardus:
Checked again and the firmware MHA-L09C432B363 is "approved for installation" through FF onto my MHA-L09C900B186, will this work?

Or should I use Funkyhuawei (or other method?) to rebrand?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Different region => rebrand

Damn Huawei! This phone STILL has not been updated after all this time, that's the last time I will ever buy a Huawei.
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note Guides, News, & Dis] gamervishal:
Stock ROM 7.0 + Magisk + Xposed

This might be my first ever thread on xda, but am a part of this community sincebirth of galaxy y, that makes me aware of most of the android ROM terms and functioning.

So recently I rooted my 4 months old Lenovo k6 power to boost up my little beast. Tried different custom offical ROMs which includes RR, AOSPX, etc.

What I observed among them was:

Performance:Overwhelming

Stability: Up to the mark

Customizations: Sufficient

Battery? : HUNGRY!

My stock 7.0 used to give 2x times battery compared to what I was getting through these ROMs. //I confirm that it was a clean flash.

Now in order to understand whats wrong with these ROMs I opened CPU-Z and had a look on it.

Everything seemed perfect except one thing!

The phone inherits a SnapDragon 430 octa-core processor AND the observation was none of the cores were

STOPPED

even while my phone was IDLE completely.

Check attachment to see how it looks in STOCK. I didnt take any SC while on a custom ROM but I remember it well. One may provide with in comments?

Now here comes the problem, there seems NO HOT PLUG extension.

Qualcomm by default provides it by its "mpdecison" - but the ROMs failed to provide that option nor it was available through Kernel Auditor.

Pretty sure I'm not the only one facing it.

So here's what I did to acheive my desires:

NOTE: This will ENCRYPT your device again, you need to FORMAT DATA for TWRP fucntioning!

Reverted back to Stock ROM through this wonderful guide: https://xdaforums.com/k6-power/how-to/guide-t3663065

Updated to latest via OTP

Installed Magisk for ROOT

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk

This way I got stock which gives me day long BATTERY and root which passes SAFETY NET CHECK. (Attached)

And for customizations I'll by relying on systemless magisk Xposed Module.

Any thoughts on this? :)

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertobom:
Just one question my friend. This is only for update Oreo to Oreo right? Not for downgrade?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
You should be able to install ROLLBACK with it.

I'm going to test later today.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aureliomilitao:
Ok, this is update oreo for oreo?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertobom:
Yes I belive and rollback as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Rollback installed now.

You have to modify script a little though, as rollback has no public zip.

So simply remove the line that says

echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA8/update_data_public.zip > /cache/recovery/command

in hwota8_update.zip's update-binary.

You should even be able to install something that's not a ROLLBACK, as long as you factory reset after.

The rollback factory resets automatically.

Amazing. Thanks my friend. :D
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Going Oreo directly to C432B197 does not work, fails at 6% in recovery.

Of course xD

I did forget first though, and it failed because it couldn't find files... :P

Rollback installs fine with SuperSU and Adaway (modifies /system) installed.

So what's the problem you are facing?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Okiera29:
ok, I am on an MHA-L29C567 running B321 Oreo. I am trying desperately to get to B360. I have downloaded the three update files. update_data_public, update_MHA-L29_hw_USA(renamed to update_all_hw) and update. I have created the HWOTA8 folder on my SD card with the hwota8_update.zip and the MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img files in it. I have moved the three other files into it. I also unzipped the HWOTA8 zip onto my desktop. I booted in fastboot mode and ran the recovery.bat file and TWRP 3.0.3 was successfully installed. I rebooted into TWRP and installed the hwota8_update.zip file and the device reboots into 'stock' recovery and begins the install. It then stops and tells me that 'Software install failed! Failed to check the update files. Please download the package again' I am downloading the updates linked through the fullota found on that Russian site. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

The update.zip file is over 2gigs. The public_data file is around 5Mb and the update_all file is around 156Mb. Do those sizes sound about right?

Ok, just tried again for the billionth time and it got to around 85% and then gave me the same error...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Addymore:
Weird.. Normally it should work.... But the pulbic_data and hw zips seems so small in size...! I normally get ~200M and ~800M respectively...! U could use the Firmware Finder.... Sometimes there are more than one B360...

Regarding 567 B 360 Oreo files size.

The public_data file is around 5Mb = 128 MB not 5mb ? ( I have all three files and checked )

That is the main problem for stuck at 85%.

Download full package again will solve your issue.

also make sure your bootloader is unlocked. make sure all the files are named exactly like the first post mentioned. if your bootloader is not unlocked than it would not be possible to update it via this method. if you want the latest update the oreo update should be available OTA

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Okiera29:
Thanks for all the suggestions. I had downloaded the improper update files. The first update listed for the c567 is the correct one. Once I downloaded that one it worked like a charm. I am now on B360. Not sure why firmware finder has all those other updates listed.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

If you can boot into fastboot mode, you might be able to fix it with this. If you are not sure how to boot into fastboot mode here goes. Power down your phone and while holding the volume down button, plug your phone into your computer. That should get you into fastboot mode. If you can get it into fastboot, then you can use this method to install the latest firmware and that might fix your error issue.

I'm having a very similar problem to the person you replied to. I also wiped my vendor and product partitions by mistake, so I believe that to be my problem. I've used the files that you have supplied, and renamed the update_full file to match the OP, placed all three zips into the HWOTA8 folder on my sd card. I have everything I need. Bootloader confirms I'm unlocked, and when I get into TWRP and install the HWOTA update zip, it reboots, enters eRecovery, and immediately fails. "Software install failed! The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."

I'm stumped! I even tried an updated version of TWRP supplied by blackball. Any ideas?

Hot to get rid of TWRP?

Hi,

i have an issue with getting rid of twrp. My phone is already on oreo and i have used the Replace_Recivery.abt from HWOTA8 to change recovery to TWRP. Now i want to change it back to stock but i have no idea where to get the stock recovery from :(. I've tried all 3 files (recovery_ramdisk_a.img, recovery_vbmeta_a.img, recovery_vendor_a.img) from update.app of my soft but for all i have error with launching recoverer. Can you tell me how to restore oreo's stock recovery?

Regards,

Mario.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] *MarioP*:
ok, i've done it. The trick was that I was extracting recovery image with 7zip instead of Huawei Update Extractor as the tool gave me an error. I've read a little about this error and after unselecting checksum verification in HUE tool i was able to properly extract RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] *MarioP*:
I was able to do the downgrade from Oreo to Nougat without unlocking bootlocker or rooting the phone. I used Firmware Finder and it did the job. I downgraded from LON-L29C432B368 to LON-L29C432B229. You need to select FullOTA-MF-PV version to get it done.
