Is there firmware update for NXT-L29C636B103? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I check the update function on my phone regularly since I bought it a couple of weeks ago and still no update.
Is it normal? I saw other thread talking about B156 and B162 and I am not sure if they are the update version or not.

I would be interested in that topic also. Got the device today, same firmware.. No updates available when clicking check update.

This is your Mate 8 model:
NXT-L29C636
You can get official OTA updates for this model only.
Other version numbers (B152, B156, B160, etc) might refer to other Mate 8 models (different market areas).
Installing different ROM versions is possible but must be done flashing manually.

Thank you for clarifying. I think I will wait for the OTA update.

OTA = Over The Air. I think it mean official download directly into your phone from the update menu.

I got mine with same firmware in Cambodia, it's the international model, only European and English/US languages, has Playstore & Google and no Chinese Bloatware. Strange, that there seems to be no update from B103...

I bought mine in Bangkok, Thailand.

So no way to force an update without unlocking bootloader & flashing the full image?

Technically you're not forcing an update, but switching to another version of rom which has a more recent build number. You may (or may not) run into bugs when switching between rom updates designed for different markets (e.g. from C636 to C900), even if they both belongs to the 'international' (L29) version of the phone. Even if you don't run into bugs, the update may install radio firmware that is not optimized for your country, which could affect connectivity performance.
I'm still on L29C636B103 and waiting for OTA. Newer builds for L29C636 is not yet available for some reason. I think the C636 corresponds to a minor market so Huawei put it further down the line when creating newer builds. Just guessing.

C636b170 available via OTA...

I'm not sure if a more detailed log can be found. In my past experience on my LG K10 K430T, security updates have usually been around that size.

current UK version

Hi,
Does anyone know what the current UK firmware release version is?
I'm on B182 but think there may be others in the UK on something more recent.
If you have something more recent, how did you get the update?
Thanks.

B193 was released a few days ago on Huaweis servers, it's probably not approved to anyone yet.

Yes. But no. Hwota lets you install any update, or downgrade. I would still be at B138 if it wasn't for that.
My Mate 9 is from Germany and I'm in Sweden, it seems I must use a German sim to get OTA.

It requires to unlock bootloader and you can only flash Full firmware, not OTA updates.
Also it seems Android Pay doesn't want to work in recent builds if they are uncertified (which they are until Huawei approves them)

Not at all. I used the force update method, which requires you to unlock BL but it's free. (bought my Mate 9 from Germany, live in Sweden. Huawei has never approved a single update for me)

Firmware Finder is showing MHA-L29C432B362 (8.0.0.362) FullOTA-MF for my Mate 9. Update is not showing up under "System Update" or in HiCare.
Question, is it ok to install from Firmware Finder or does that has any influence on further OTA updates from Huawei?
Thanks

I know, the Huawei update system is goofy. All the devices are the same, so from a hardware standpoint any Mate 9 firmware should be allowed. Huawei should let the users decide what they want to flash. Yes, your average user should just get the standard updates but there should be an option like unlocking Developer Settings and clicking a switch "Allow any firmware".
Which firmware are you running at the moment? I have 360 and the 361 and 362 don't seem to have any real improvements other than some security updates and improved WiFi.

Right, same here, don't get it.
has been the same with my mate 9 ever since I bought it (on release). Huawei updates are kinda strange to put it mildy. and I don't want to get bothered with unlocked bootloaders and updates through all kind of alternative update servers and such. it is what it is, phone is running ok so we have to be patient.
Same boat. Also rebranded.
Actually, I was about to go down the flashing rabbit hole, but I saw this post and I think I'll wait one more month.
how working?
Was on the chat with Huawei today. Last devices should not receive the update later than 23. February.

Did you have to down grade to Nougat before doing the upgrade?
I'm on 636 B360 using this TWRP: twrp_android_o_mate9_a1.img which is 3.1.1.0 and when I run the update.bat nothing happens after I reboot to TWRP.

Firmware is 9.0.0.117(C636E3R1P11), didn't receive any update at all since put my dual sims on Friday. I tried live chat from Hicare. Was told by standard reply which firmware release batch by batch.
