I'll be surprised to see it get updated. It hasn't had a update since April. Pretty lame and pathetic of Huawei if ask me. Wish now wouldn't of got this phone. Probably cut my losses and just move on to a phone that actually gets updated and security updates.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Yeah I noticed my US model was only updated since April. I bought this prior to Black Friday and I have until February 1st to return it. So if there are no updates between now and then, this phone goes back to Amazon.

I see no update and I'm in the UK. Yes, I've checked in HiCare, too.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
Well, if my past experience is any guide...

Mate2 was suppose to be updated (back when it was new) in the first quarter of the year. It got the update

on the last day of March (end of 1st quarter).

Mate8, was suppose to also be updated (when it was new) in the first quarter. It got the update 2 weeks into

the 2nd quarter (2nd week of April).

I'm GUESSING, that some time within the next 2-4 weeks, the official push for the 567 (US) Mate8 may

happen, that is, unless some bugs pop up as it slowly rolls out to other builds.

In some way, I'm sort of glad the US version is about the last one to get it. I'd rather have a more stable

build, as opposed to get it "first".

Finaly, update done ! After a full wipe, it rocks !
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] GarlicBreadFox:
Hi guys. A few questions:

1. Are you guys updating even when rooted?

2. What do you use to backup all (in short: App settings, Apps installed)? Is everything saved in google account nowadays so even when fully wiped when you upgrade and set your account again it will all start downloading etc?

3. Where is this early adopter option? All I see is "Manuals", "Service", "Forum" and "Me". Inside "Me" there is only the "Check for Updates" option.

EDIT: Ok regarding (3) I changed region to Asia Pacific -> Hong Kong (English) and then I got a button "Early Adopter" on "Service" tab. Clicked on that, says no update. What region are you guys using? Also is it a regular update as if I got it through carrier or something? Or will the device could be at risk of not being able to find the cellullar connection or other nasty things.

That is the way I did it ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pilsch:
Tried already many times the past weeks, including today. Both via HiCare OS update early adopters and via the System Update. No update to Oreo available. Also tried different language setting.

It seems Oreo update is spread over time and place, and maybe system setting. Anyway, I received some updates the last couple of months, so I trust to get the Oreo update somewhere the coming weeks. Nothing to complain with my current Mate 9, so I have patience.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] robogo1982:
One small tip: my L29 did not show the early adopters Oreo update until I updated the HiCare app. Once I did that I immediately got access to Oreo.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunrider07:
I supposed oreo update doesn't only depends on updated hicare app but most importantly depends on your region.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems this is what's going on.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] robogo1982:
Update HiCare app and check if there is quota left in the OS early adopters program.

If there isn't - wait a bit more.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] papu4ara:
I read a chat with customer support in Bulgaria and they said that the update was based generally by the IMEI number of the phone.

Hi,

You can check the app permissions and add "Notification access" to the app "Huawei Home." This shoul work. If not, you can try this app from the Play Store : Rubber (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.rubber.remove.is.running.in.the.background.notification)

I have used FF to upgrade my MHA-L29C636B198 to MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a(C636) this weekend.

First open FF and click on add model. Then type MHA-L29 8.0.0. You will have a list of firmwares (and versions) for several regions. Choose the firmware for your region and check if the version is approved for installation. If it is not, need to wait a little bit more and if it is approved you can install.

When installation was finished, I did a factory reset from settings and wiped cache partition to prevent any issue. The device is running flowlesly.

This is how it worked for me.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Drifter_:
I have a MHA-L29C432B198.

The firmware of C432 is not approved, but the C636 360a is. There's any problem of flash the 8.0 C636 on a C432, through Firmware Finder?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcosdordio1990:
I saw my wife's mate 9 and it's the same thing....C432 is not approved but C636 360a is....anyone knows if it does any problem flash C636 over C432?

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Never do that!

Flashing other region's ROM requires rebranding procedure.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jenesis1988:
I used FF to install 360A (C636) yesterday. But I also see in FF there is 362 and 361 for region C636. However it is not approved for my phone.

Now a bit worried I can't update this phone anymore?

Anyone can help?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwcasey:
Why are you worried? I don't believe 361 or 362 are approved for any c636 devices. If you got 360a, then there will likely be another one in the next couple of weeks that will supercede 361 and 362 as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jenesis1988:
Thanks for this. I guess I was worried because I saw C636 361 and 362 in FF and I can't use them yet. So thought I might be on another path like A version rather than normal one without the A. If that makes sense.

But I guess I can relax now and just wait for the new version to be approved. Thanks again.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PissedoffHuawei:
I've been lurking on this thread for two months.

I bought the U.S Huawei Mate 9.. and I got excited in early November when Huawei announced within a month that Mate 9 owners would be getting updates.

Now I'm just feeling frustrated.. it's January 10 and there's no update.. and no word. I want to throw this phone away. The last update I got was April, 2017... old security patches.. this is so stupid.

My model Mate 9 is: MHA-L29C567B190
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Call me, I will catch your phone ;)

But without humor, you told truth. Huawei has problems in updating phones. Their method of release too odd for 2017/2018. And we can't do anything to improve except buying other brand.

But. Huawei made great phone in hardware. Current software is good and can be used as daily driver without doubts. So you got give-and-take. Sure, if you don't like hardware too, it is best to change phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] derchrome:
I have been waiting for the update for the European version until yesterday. And I would still be waiting but I found an interesting (German) article about the update yesterday.

The "trick" is to open the Huawei HiCare app, click on the service tap and search for something like update request. After activating the request in the app the new firmware is available in the normal system update menu.

Maybe this helps some of you to get oreo.

Firmware Finder Update

This morning updates showed up on FF. I have Firmware finder auto detecting my model ( MHA-l29C567) which I assumed would only display firmwares that would work on my device. HOWEVER, when I check if the firmware is compatible it says its not. Am I just being a total noob here or is this message BS? Thoughts and guidance appreciated.

I cant post and image or link (forumn BS!!!!) so here is what showed up:

Package 1 \ FullOTA-MF 1.972GB

MHA-L09C567B360 (8.0.0.36)

MHA-L29C567B360 (8.0.0.36)

It's close....when it shows up in the official EMUI updater, then I'll update. In FF it still shows

not approved with the IMEI number. No biggie...I can wait.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] le grande magnetto:
thats how I did, almost month ago. But for some people this doesnt work.

No need to be frustrated, I havent noticed much change using Oreo.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vang2k:
there is a different thread with the US model and a lot of people including myself that has unlocked bootloader and forced the full firmware update over. the release is already official since October but Huawei isn't pushing it out to US variants just yet..which is dumb because the version works smooth and with no bugs. My guess is once they release mate 10 in the US market the mate 9 will get the update. If you can't wait you can read up on HWOTA8 updating nougat to oreo.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
i have tried hicare method mentioned above, also checked the early adaptors, but still no update. i have the "latest" stock firmware L29C636B183 installed
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] skimminstones:
C636 has been approved in Firmware finder for about 4 or 5 weeks now. Its the firmware ending in .360

361 and 362 arent approved yet.

As for the US members and your variants it wouldnt surprise me if the hold up was something to do with the AT&T negotiations which your government have now stopped.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Janneman3987:
First check if the regio of your Mate 9 is the same of where you are now.

If not, download "Opera VPN" and set the right region. (C636 is Signapore)

Download Firmware Finder for Huawei.

Go to Wi-Fi settings.

Push and hold down your current Wi-Fi connection.

Push "Adjust netwerk" (or something like that. Not "Forget network")

Select "Avanced options"

Proxy "Manualy"

Hostname "localhost"

Port 8080

Proxy ?? "localhost"

Save

Start Firmware Finder and (this is important!!) push "+ Add model"

(Do not choose the model FF automaticly show.)

Type: MHA-L29 8.0.0.

Select the newest FullOTA-MF-PV for your region (C636)

Push "IN-APP PROXY" and "Ok".

Goto "check for system updates" in your phonesettings.

Now you can see there is an update. Start the update and push "pause".

Scroll your screen downwards and stop the Proxy app.

Go back to the download and resume the download.

It worked for me!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijer:
I did that and it downloaded the update but after I clicked to restart it said the update wasn't authorized and would be deleted. Is there another step you performed?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vang2k:
Those updates will only install once it's approved for your imei. I unlocked my bootloader and I'm already on 8.0.0.360 us model. I'm sure your model should be getting official Ota soon. If it doesn't find an update itself than if your willing to do some unlocking of the bootloader and using adb you can flash files from firmware finder using HWOTA8 method.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijer:
Okay thanks, I thought your method was to allow installing unapproved firmware. I'm using the HWOTA8 method now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vang2k:
It's allowed to help install new full release key firmware that is final which aren't yet approved. It runs bug free and if you can get oreo working it's really nice for a handset from 2016. Just make sure to backup any files and messages you don't want to lose.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
I think your phone is approved to install MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a. that one isn't the latest update but it is a stable one.you can find it in ff.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
I checked using the FF today, but was told my phone was not approved for the 8.0 yet. Has any one with the same firmware version like mine been able to update to the 8.0?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
What is your firmware version ?.I upgraded mine from MHA-L29C636B191 to MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a(C636).My phone was approved to install the firmware.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] glennie5:
I have the MHA-L29C432B198 and i did not yet receive the update.. quite a long period, i expected it already.. does anybody know when it will come the automatic update?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
mine is .. L29.....C636183. When i checked with FF, it asked to include IMEI info, so i did, then the result came back said, 'your device is NOT approved.' By the way, my c636 region is Hong Kong. ( i bought the phone from ebay)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
That depends on the country you are in.

---------- Post added at 03:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

Did you check the all the firmwares 360,360a,361,362 ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
I have checked, only MHA-L20C636B191 FULLota-md IS approved for install. there are 2 files: update.zip and L29_hw_specseas/update_full_mha_hw_specseas.zip. do i need both files? or I only need to download update.zip. my phone is stock.

thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
Use the ff , in app proxy method to upgrade.It's easy
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
i just start to download both files. it is still going. but once it finished download? what should i do? is there an update windows for me to continue? this the first time i am using ff. By the way, what is the 2nd file for? can i only download update.zip? Or do i need to install both files?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
ff in your phone right ?

Push "IN-APP PROXY" and "Ok".

Go to Wi-Fi settings.

Push and hold down your current Wi-Fi connection.

Push "Adjust netwerk" (or something like that. Not "Forget network")

Select "Avanced options"

Proxy "Manualy"

Hostname "localhost"

Port 8080

Proxy ?? "localhost"

Save

Goto "check for system updates" in your phonesettings.

Now you can see there is an update.

Start the update and push "pause".

Reset the wifi settings to defult.

Start the update
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
yes, i just clicked download and ticked the two files. I did check first and was told the file is good for my phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
Stop the manually download.Use the instructions in the last post
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
thanks, it is already in the half way, what happens if i continue? will it cause any trouble? also, what do i do for the 2nd file?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
I think you have to use the hwota method. Easiest way is the in app proxy method.

Hello guys,

need your honest opinion.

I want to upgrade my device. I have Moto G5s Plus at this moment. i am actually happy with this device but the camera is very bad.

I am thinking of Sony Xperia XZ Premium or Xiaomi MI6? Which do you think is better?

I like to have snapdragon 835 devices and both prices are cheaper than others.

Pricing:

Xperia XZ Premium= 424 USD

mi 6= 384 USD

both prices used phones.

Thanks guys

XZ Premium, faster updates, stock android looks, better performer, IP68 and better brand

I bought the phone at gearbest, and after contact oneplus.net, they say that gearbest are not an autorized resseler, so i have to pay them (Oneplus.net) to repair, even if i'm inside the warranty period. any sugestion on it?somebody has same problem?

Please see image bellow in attach,

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mushroomscientist:
Quick fix?

Just do a Google search with "oneplus3t screen static" and have a look at the thread on the OnePlus Forums that is displayed at the top. It will show you a quick fix The display is lying inside the aluminium frame, if the phone fails down, the frame is damaged and out of shape a bit, so u need to 'click' back the display inside the frame. Thus you have to press on the screen, around all the edges of the screen and then you hear and feel a distinct pop when the screen moves backwards into the case. And the static goes away.
