I have seen the files in archive folder, see the attached, could some one show me how to update the phone? There are 2 files there , which one to use? Or do I need to run the update twice?

I have followed the instructions . 1. To check the firmware is approved. 2. Get updates throughout DNS. ,I registered then enable DNS, 3. Check the firmware via the phone's update, but there is no updates?? What should I do?

Any way to force the update if none of the firmwares have been approved for my device? It's just some stupid IMEI lock and I'm really tired of waiting for "approval" when some people with the same device got the update back in December
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
thanks mate, i got the phone upgraded to emui5.01 , and using FF to check again , there is NO more update to 8.0 (with imei included during the checking, if i do not include imei, then i will see there is an update). it says there is not approved firmware for my phone ( imei version). i have checked all the available version.

Waiting for an update for C636 beyond 360/360a. Interestingly FF is showing that the recent C635 362 updates are IMEI approved for my device (C636). Not keen to try it out though
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
I can see update from the current L29, but if I include IMEI info, the the message from the FF is 'not approved'. Without the IMEI then it says approved. What should I do? Any risk losing IMEI if I proceed?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
You can't install the firmware if FF isn't approved with IMEI . Add a model in FF "MHA -L29 8" and find MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a(C636) ,Size = 2.614GB ,Build date 2017.12.01 .I think that firmware is approved with IMEI.

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

What about MHA-L29C636B362 OTA-MF 2018.01.10 ?.Without IMEI, the firmware is approved but with IMEI,the firmware isn't approved for me.What about you ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
i was wondering without imei approval, the phone's modem or even lose imei after the firmware update? from what i can see, if i choose without imei in the ff, then almost all the 361, 362 version are approved. but once i include imei, then no of them are approved.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
Without imei approval,Phone doesn't install the firmware because of the authentication failure.but I haven't tried 361 or 362
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hs4842:
Mine is MHA-L29C576 and supposedly there is new firmware for this but every time I tried to install it the process fails at 5%. Don't suppose I need to rebrand this to something else for the update to 'stick'?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
I just added the MHA-L29 8. then the ff shows the firmware is approved with imei for the 360a(c636). my question is, will this update have any risk? what is the difference between mine MHA-L29C636 and this new added MHA-L29 8? If i proceed to the MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a(C636), will this cause any potential trouble? i mean what it will change to my current phone? i was worried it may change the band frequency or something like that? thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vageesha:
I have updated to that firmware 360a. That firmware is for C636. I think you can install it without any problem.Right now my phone is running that software(MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a).

---------- Post added at 03:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 AM ----------

I think your phone isn't imei approved for the update.Before installing firmware check the approval in FF
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hs4842:
My issue is why is the IMEI an issue if the brand and type of phone are the same? All this talk about loading it via HWOTA does not go into detail on this.

Oh well. I guess I'll have to wait until someone makes it a TWRP installable package. Huawei is silent when it comes to the USA market these days.

Another thing I thought of is rebranding. Is there a way to get the proper branding for my IMEI? I had rebranded it to C900 one time and had no issues. About the only way I could load some software before. Reset the brand to C567, which is the USA Dual SIM model, of which I have.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] samsungandriod:
Any bugs you feel for the360a? As it was an early version of 8.0. Also, after upgraded to 360a. if you use ff to check, what model does it show? it if changed, what is that new model based? (i mean it is from areas like Singapore, or Hong Kong, or Australia?)any major improvement from the emui5?

A couple of days my wife's mate 9 received the official update OTA version 363 for the C432 and after the update her micro sd card was no longer seen. She lost her ringtones etc, did a factory reset and it solved all the little problems. Day later I received on my Mate 9 the update from 361 to 363 via official OTA without any issue's. Both phones are full stock both from Germany...

OK, can anyone help me with a FF question.

When I look at the .362 upgrade for C636 region, it says not authorised with IMEI check and authorised without IMEI check.

So I select to "Get an Update Through DNS", change the DNS setting, the file downloads then goes to authenticate and it can't find the server (Temporarily Unavailable). It always seems to be unavailable.

Does anyone else use this method and has success?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aindow:
I've just updated using the firmware finder method however as your phone isn't authorised it may not work for you.

As per the Firmware Finder, register the update, change the DNS and then go to system update in the settings and start the download. Once the download starts, hit pause and then change your DNS settings back to the standard ones. Finally, go back to the system update screen and resume download.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PissedoffHuawei:
I'm curious, why do some people believe that getting the update has anything to do with your location?

I don't think location would have anything to do with it.

It should be based on your individual phone IMEI and whether your IMEI has been "approved" for the update or not.

By the way, I have the stupid Mate 9 U.S unlocked version that I bought from Best Buy. Last update was April, 2017. I still haven't gotten the Oreo update and I've been checking everyday.

Click on MH-29 8.0.0.365 and then click "check firmware access" and then click "with imei". If it gives you imei approval it will work otherwise it means your imei has not been cleared yet for the update and you cannot update yet. You have to wait.
