HI guys,

Looking for some help

I have a demo unit and trying to get rid of the retail demo on it.

I can disable the retail user by going to security - users - and then going to apps and disable and clear data to stop the retail demo playing but cannot install as its a system app. once i restart tablet it comes back

I'm trying to look at firmwares and flashing the device but not 100% sure what im looking for.

can anyone advise on what i need to do?

kind regards
[Huawei MediaPad M2] stefc13:
Hello

Download the FW corresponding to your device in the Huawei website (support section). I think the procedure will be also described there...

hope this helps :)

Hi

Today in FF I was checking the Android 8.0 ROMs for my model MHA-L29 c636 and one firmware was activated, so I update. Is this the official or beta firmware? please see the screenshot

I don't have root or unlocked boot
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Official
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] hgvtub:
I have looked for an update on FF too today, but I cannot see the one you have above. What country are you in.

I am on the beta Oreo tester update, but I am looking to update to the official asap
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] juniau:
It says official but it isn't.. I upgraded my mate 9 5 days ago and there's a problem with it..

Downloaded app called (my Device) and look at Device info.

User : test (Name of user for internal engineering build)

Host: wuhjk0390cna (Name of user for internal engineering build)

Many 3rd app are blocked error - 501 antutu, CpuZ and other apps that can show us the system info.. Look like they don't want the owner know that this was a test for [internal engineering build purposes]

They're monitoring. Damn!! Only few active owner get this Internal engineering build test around the world on each country.

It's for (internal engineering build purposes)

My device MHA-L29 8.0.0630(C636) same as yours.

Lots of Performance bugs..
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] novastar1:
What performance bugs have you encountered?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] juniau:
Stuttering and lagging while watching 2k and 4k downloaded videos and movies(i didn't face this issues before upgrade)

But camera recorded 2k60fps and 4k videos just work fine.

With oreo.. 3D Mark scores are terrible compared to Nougat.

Vulkan api is no longer supported.

I noticed the lagging and stuttering while playing 3D Games with native resolution too.

This isn't official Oreo upgrade.. It's Beta test for internal engineering build purposes.

My current Build number now is (MHA-L29 8.0.0.360(C636)

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

But it's on you to decide (EMUI 8 is great)

Just performance and 3rd apps compatibility issues.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] darkdiamondb:
You need to search "MHA" in add device and will appear.

I'm in Portugal, Europe
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] darkdiamondb:
Mmhhh I see...

I noticed lagging sometimes.

I was thinking something about that because in FF, now the name of my device is just MHA.

We will be able to update to future versions,like official Oreo?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] juniau:
Actually.. The Oreo upgrade(for internal engineering build) is 5 stars recommended.. Every builds, there must be a tester. This is the best way for every Developers to achieve something.

Kirin 960 is the one that make Huawei able to compete other flagship devices, there is no way that they just let the successor left behind. I mean.. Yes.. We, us, all mate 9 owner will get the official Upgrade but it depends on how many mate 9 owner accept the Beta test.

Has anyone managed to upgrade to 361 or 362 versions in C636?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] darkdiamondb:

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] skimminstones:
Not yet, not through firmware finder anyway.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vijer:
But why is that? Can anyone explain this? FF shows a 361 and 362 for the C636 but none are approved, so why are they there?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] darkdiamondb:
I don't know either :/
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vang2k:
Those are all official files and are not yet approved to be downloaded over the air. If you are not patient like myself and want to unlock your bootloader and might have to start fresh you can download the 3 files for your current handset version and than run HWOTA8. This method will use twrp to send over a no check recovery which allows you to install correct firmware even if it's not approved yet for your imei. It works great. If your are a little experienced with rooting and unlocking bootloader I say go ahead.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sutty86:
Make sure before any of this you save your product Id number and serial
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] darkdiamondb:
Now in FF says that version .362 it's approved but when I finished download and just right before reboot says the package it's not verified. Anyone tried?

how root after that upgrade ?

hello, I have a mate 9 MHA-L29 now in android 8.0.0.0. (C636). I try to search a guide for how to root after that upgrade. I founded for other versions of mate 9 do you think can work?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nikorasu:
Yes, it'll work, C636 user here. Get unlock code from Huawei website, unlock bootloader, install TWRP, flash Magisk or supersu zip for root.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mrpurple66:
I already done that procedure, but now i have to upgrade from 368 to 371, and i think is a little bit different. looking also to see if there is a way for not loose the data
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Nikorasu:
Use hwota8 method with twrp to install 372 (latest). Always check firmware finder if update will erase data. I have installed both 371 and 372 and both doesn't erase data but it will be good to backup via TWRP or titanium backup before updating.

need dload files offline for Oreo C636 for update my mate9
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Huawei, Firmwares, M series, look both at MHA-L09 and MHA-L29

https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=14371

By taking a quick look I've seen 8.0.0, 9.0.1 and 9.1.0 c636 firmwares.

I never tried but I'm pretty sure (at that time I was thinking of buying the cheaper L09 and rebranding to L29) that here, on XDA Mate 9 forum it was posted how L09 (single SIM) can be rebranded to L29 (dual SIM)

Downloading from that site requires (at least it required 2-3 years ago when I used it once) a subscription - if you really need your firmware desperately, you will figure out the most suitable subscription model for you (they have also free subscription but with certain, annoying limitations)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aureliolage:
Problema que já baixei 2 firmwares deste site e não aceito dload, alguns dizem que o arquivo UPDATE.APP é muito grande para ser copiado para o cartão SD,

Problem is that I already downloaded 2 files from that site and it didn't work to do DLoad. There is an Update.app that cannot copy into the Sdcard. Others are not recognized
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
What is exactly your current firmware name as from Settings About?

And what were the names of firnwares you downliaded and tried to install?

Just to compare did you try to dload valid firmwares for your existing model

Don't know for your particular firnwares (some may contain Installation instructions and the matrix from which firnwares they are valid for upgrading,) but some firnwares must not be unzipoed, instead the two or three zip files inside contained (like update.zip, etc) must be dloaded - not the unzipped files like update.app, etc

There is another thread with instructions how to unlock bootloader. Once you unlock the bootloader you don't more depend on the rare c636 firmwares (you see that you cannot find them, and Huawei removed the firmwares and provides no more support for your phone), but you can then rebrand to c432 - firmwares and guides and everything that will be much easier to find

Btw, Huawei was fully supporting the phone back in 2019 and pushing OTA for Pie (except in US) - some people didn't want to update then, now when the phone is no more supported, there is no live community anymore (people long ago moved to other phones) and stores like FirmwareFinder are turned off, now some prople desperately want to upgrade the old phones from the ancient Oreo - unfortunately under the current circumstances, too late and might be nearly impossible to find firmwares for particular custs like c636
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aureliolage:
my model is MHA-L29C636B110 nougat Emui 5 I tried to install the latest Nougat and oreo C636 but the update.app is not recognized as an update. I can't unlock the bootloader because it is paid and I don't have any more money and there are also no more files in the Firmware Finder to make Hwota or Hwota8.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aureliolage:
but why is there no update via Ota or Erecovery? depending on Dload is bad, I already searched a lot on google and forums and I don’t find the right Dload
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
For P9 (probably also the other old models) I also see people complaining now that OTA does no more come (btw, you cannot expect OTA without a valid SIM card) and that Huawei servers have removed the firmwares that were previously available

When Mate 9 was supported, there was a time in 2017-2018 (OTA, eRecovery, etc) to upgrade to Oreo/EMUI 8 and in 2019-2020 to upgrade to Pie/EMUI 9

In the good old times only some packages on Firmware Finder were suitable for DLOAD (but there was a system how to recognize on FF which of them are), hence the firmwares from halabtech (with no consistent naming and organization, just what/how somebody upliaded) may not be suitable for dload either - but they can be flashed by the proper TWRP (you would need unlocked bootloader and TWRP for Mate 9 for Nougat - since you are on Nougat now)

Unlocking bootloader is possible for free on Mate 9 - link to instrucrtions were posted (I did post and I saw somebody confirmed it indeed worked for Mate 9) in one another thread here on XDA for Mate 9 (you can search for, I don't recall which thread exactly, it was half a year ago). But the procedure requires physically opening the phone and pin-pointing the Test point connections on the motherboard

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] aureliolage:
so but if i can unlock the bootloader how will i update via hwota or hwota8 if there are no more 3 firmware Finder files?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
I never used HWOTA or HWOTA for Mate.

I did use HWOTA-7 for P9, it required three update zip components, and it worked fine.

Of course, at that time P9 was still supported and it was possible to obtain needed firmwares

You have to see yourself which files are needed (HWOTA 8 should be for starting with Oreo, and it should be adapted for the type of firmwares for Oreo)

Don't know if by HWOTA you mean HWOTA 7 for Nougat - Nougat firmwarwes usually consisted of three components

Even if you download from halabtech, when you unpack, it must contain update.zip and the other, one or two zip files - same way as the firmwares on FirmwarecFinder had (somebody e.g downloaded from Firmware Finder and uploaded to Halabtech)

Again, sorry, but that is the situation - when the tools and guides were written, everything was referring to the firmwares available on Fitrmware Finder.

Now when Firmware Finder is dead, you have to figure out yourself where to find the appropriate firmware, etc.

If something is not in accordance to how a tool like HWOTA needs, go directly to its thread and ask there - there will be the best chance that somebody who developped or used the tool can help you

HWOTA methods internally use TWRP. You must be careful that you use HWOTA/TWRP for Mate 9.

HWOTA x (x=7,8,9) means that it is adapted for N, O or Pie - you must be careful to use the right one since TWRP versions are different because partition structures for different EMUI versions (5.1, 8, 9) are different

Hey guys,now i really wanted the transparent google feed on nova launcher and i discovered a wierd way to do it but it's not permanent so hear it is :

1. Install pixel launcher and set it to default launcher

2. Install nova google companion app

3. Open nova launcher from pixel launcher

4. Swipe to left and it appears transparent but as long as you have pixel launcher as default launcher

So is there is a way to get while keeping nova launcher default or what ?

Habs versucht mit und ohne Installation SuperSu (beim reboot kommt er immer mit der meldung supersu sei nicht installiert obwohl das Handy gerootet ist, ansonsten hätte ich ja auch twrp nicht aufspielen können.

Hab sogar schon versucht, eine andere EFS einzuspielen obwohl er mir bei der Installation immer sagt EFS1 u EFS2 ok.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] alex2003super:
Hello, I have a bit of a problem here on my Rooted Galaxy S8+ (European). I changed my Font using the Typeface app from the Play Store. Problem is, I realized many characters including ⅔ the Lenny face and others are missing from this font and display as square crossed boxes. So I went back to the app and installed Roboto (which I guess is the default Android font) but it didn't change, those characters did not show up properly. I tried Apple font San Francisco and it won't work either. The Noto font, on the other hand does not seem to have this issue, but it's very ugly. Where can I get an original copy and restore the default system font, without reflashing system et cetera (I don't wanna lose data or go through the trouble of using Titanium)?

Hi,

Would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I have softbricked my phone. I have never attempted to root the device and so have no other apps that were installed that can help me. It is also out of warranty.

I have tried various things my model number is frd l09 and I purchased in the UK.

1. When I switch it on normally I get a emui screen that allows me to reboot, factory reset or wipe cache partition. I have tried all of these. When I factory reset it just reboots onto the same screen and so I get stuck in a loop.

2. I have also tried downloading the relevant firmware to the SD and then rebooting pressing volume up/down and power. When I do this it starts to install but then I get a message saying 'software install failed' with the only option to reboot now, which results in scenario 1.

3. I have also tried the erecovery with the cable plugged in go to download latest version and recovery, it tries to get package info but fails.

4. I have also tried to connect to hisuite and use system recovery pressing vol down and power, it starts to install but gets stuck on 5%.

I have tried searching for answers but have basic technical knowledge so any guidance would be really appreciated
