You will first see the new firmware link at XDA here, then couple months later only you can see the OTA strike your device.

I'm not sure how people having been trying to update. I first tried just using the system update on the phone but it showed nothing was available. I installed HiSuite on my PC, connected my phone to it, followed instructions and voilà, there was the update. Possibly a timing coincidence, but I post what I did here, just in case people haven't tried.

I've been trying the Updater app every morning, and this morning it was just there ready to go!
Did it OTA over my home WiFi, no need to connect with HiSuite.
Sorry to leave you Samsung, but I'm really loving this Huawei phone.

Malaysia! Seems like everyone getting the update is from Europe. Believe this is for the European release. Kind of sad that they neglected Asia ex-China devices. Guess we have to be more patient.
The B135 (in the chinese version) it's already with the improvements for camera?

I ran the beta for a while and I wasn't able to find any during the month or so I used it. I imagine it'll be a little bit after its official release before we see theme support.

It's kind of strange since I've been running L04-*B360 (same build as mentioned, but US variant) for ~couple of weeks now via the Charles update thread. It runs great, but I would be surprised if they released the exact same version of the beta I'm on as the "final release" version.
If it's the same version I'll just stick with the b360 build I'm on. I suppose it's possible that each "region" version of the H8 will wind up on some slightly different version of EMUI but that doesn't really sound right either.

So there's no point in waiting for the final release in February? Just apply for beta, install 360 version?
That'd be disappointing by honor
Huawei is really starting to tick me off. That want to be "bigger than apple" but for updates it seems like North America is in the back of the cue.
Seriously, release those updates and release that source code so we can get custom Roms running properly.
Otherwise Huawei phones will not be on my shopping list again.
You make it very hard to like you.

They seem to have a very small team working on the US Beta (maybe only 1 person even)
the Beta releases were:
2016.11.11 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B317
2016.11.24 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B320
2016.12.08 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B324
2017.01.03 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B360
With a couple of small same number fixes in between
At this rate I don't see much else getting done before February.
Many have already gone up to the 360 beta using this method why wait ?

Yes it's a real shame.
I have been told by them via Google+ that those of us on the UK beta program will be being an update in the next few days.
It won't be the final but will be an update of some kind.
I will post on here when I get it

I don't know what is new. It says no changelog. It says funkyhuawei reddit page:
<<The unreleased MHA-L29C185B172 build has been added to FunkyHuawei. An accurate changelog has not yet been released, but the expected differences are better touchscreen response, and less power consumption for longer battery life, similar to the Chinese B173 build.
Even if you have another Mate 9 model, you can rebrand to MHA-L29C185 and install the firmware, with FunkyHuawei.>>
But trying one day battery time maybe is improved. Here is screenshots.

So far this is working nice firmware. Battery inside one day before was finish 30% but yesterday was with 75%.

Hi guys! How is the performance and battery life of this update B172? Thanks!
hi everyone.
two questions:
1: what is FF? is it another repository for firmwares? any links?
2: also, i don't understand the disapproval regarding fu***wei.. I tried installing TWRP on my Mate 9.. ended up almost bricking it.. (it was stuck in a bootloop and adb showed it as unauthorized.. I didn't know what todo)
I used the fu***wei method and although it was a little cumbersome.. (had to do it at home so I could modify the modem settings etc.)
it actually totally worked.. (took a while but it worked) The guy was super responsive too. (I guess I go thte time zones aligned just right to ask my questions but yeah, he'd respond within minutes of my e-mails..)
(btw, I came to this forum looking exactly for this model MHA-L29C185 I wish there were clearer instructions on how to do these things without paying etc but if there is a resource like this why knock it? i'm seriously curious)

No not a beta, official.
Is it safe to take this OTA if I'm rooted with magisk, decrypted and some stock apps uninstalled?
Flashed this yesterday here in the Netherlands.
I'm not noticing alot of differences between 194 and this one.
Battery life seems about the same? Can't really say that in 2 days.
For the rest it's pretty much the same old rock stable emui experience

the new security patches of Google seems to be the only chang between 194 and 197.
But as everybody can read, the v 198 seems to be coming soon too.

you can find the update file (update.app B197) also in the I-Net if you don’t want to wait!
Search for : L29C432B197 update.hicloud.com download
For processing, read here too ->http://www.hard-reset.com/huawei-mate-9-hard-reset.html

Be careful!!! It is much safer to wait for OTA update!
Edit: i had read this -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/figure-how-to-flash-firmware-t3504781/page4

No, that doesn't work. B197 is not an OFFLINE firmware, it's ONLINE only meaning you can't use it for DLOAD.
i know this procedure from my old Honor 7 and it has worked flawless there.
But after reading (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/figure-how-to-flash-firmware-t3504781/page4) it seems to make no sense for the mate 9. I had corrected my post now.
Sorry for the inconveniences.
BTW: how about this suggestion? -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72467865&postcount=54
i think, it should be possible to do. Maybe...
Well it's about time!
