How to update MHA-L29C185B172?

Hello!
I see update MHA-L29C185B172, but not on FF. I want this update.
Now my phone is MHA-L29C185B158. Battery endurance is not great.
Is battery better this update? How to update for free?
Thanks. Sorry for my English.

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%.
What is everybody result?

Does ur play store looks like this?
Just wondering why my play store changed,is it cause i synced my account to OP3 running Android 7.1.1

Can someone confirm if this version will be coming to US models as well or not ?

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)

Flash MHA-AL29 on MHA-AL00..is it possible?

Hello Everyone,
I have just bought a Huawei mate 9 from AliExpress, and they didnt specify if it was Chinese or International Rom.
But upon delivery i saw some Chinese text, and when i checked the Build number, it is MHA-AL00C00B175.
Can i flash the International version (i.e the AL29) firmware on my phone so that i can eliminate all these chinese apps etc ?
Thanks in advance

I think yes, one of my friend did from here - https://www.obeygeek.com/download-huawei-mate-9-official-7-0-nougat-update-mha-l29-l09/

I think you were misinformed, you can't just flash any models firmware over your chinese model (thats why it fails), you can only "rebrand" using the guides linked below, which requires unlock bootloader.
Flash Latest Update/Rebrand Guide: (Has lots of choices for rebranding, can go to different regional specific firmware such as USA, Europe, Asia, etc)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Unbrick and Rebrand Guide: (Only 2 choices, MHA-L29C636 International/Asian (comes with Play Store and no Chinese apps) or MHA-AL00 Chinese)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-rebrand-chinese-al00-mate9-to-t3554656

I'd stick with the Chinese one. It has a few more features and gets updated more often. The few Chinese programs are mostly removable as well.

You can rebrand with also OTA . I am done follow this link it perfect.
[rebrand from c636 to AL00 and rebrand from AL00 to C432.]

One last thing, clear cache and data from hicare and try again. If its still not working, just wait it.

I bet he doesnt have AL but european device...

When I change the region to China, it does change but there is this popup displaying me to use "Huawei ID made in China" everytime I access hicare app.
Also, do I need to do anything else, except changing region on hicare?
Yes im on colal10

No, i just changed, entered hicare, went to update, and i got a chinese msg and selected the right option and then it went to the update window and told me that i got a new update.
I didnt have any problem with the huawei id. Mine is for Romania.

Update 9.0.0.185

Hi,
Just got the phone updated to 9.0.0.185 overnight. Can anyone share the changelog?
Thanks

Don't care - no Launcher fix.
Becoming sadder and sadder that such a great phone has this problem. HUAWEI, YOU DICKS! Allow us to change the launcher. Sigh.

If you have the Chinese AL00 version the posted [ROM][AL00] Mate 20 X GlobAL00ized beta [Debloated][Mostly Deodexed] rom fixes this issue!! You'd have to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP (also has been posted), format phone (including internal storage), install rom and optionally install Magisk for root. Using Nova with no issues selecting between Huawei Home and Nova from Default apps setting. Although it's using 175 and not 185.

Hello

That's one of the reasons i don't buy Chinese models. Works fine on EVR-L29 (C432)

I just want landscape on home screen for stock launcher. When I'm in recent apps in landscape and go back to home screen the home screen is in landscape for a split second. It looks so good.Too scared to do the root. Never have done that. If this was a 300 dollar phone I would try.

Sad have to pay $40/60 to unlock, huawei did the worst move ever blocking , soon others will block too :x

It won't work and fails. You have to flash stock recovery_ramdisk to do the update. Unless you're on [ROM][AL00] Mate 20 X GlobAL00ized beta [Debloated][Mostly Deodexed] rom in which case there are instructions to update to the new beta 2 version that will update to 185 during the process.

Huawei just push this update today to my phone as well.. I just said pass ! I will not Update from 175 to 185 since i see no improvements !
The only thing that upset me is the Option that 185 brings : Automatically Add Watermark Logo to Photos taken with Back camera !
Why you do this Huawei ! WHYYY.... Free advertising is good isn't ?
What if i want to post a pic to IG and i don't want people to see it was taken with my phone ... ?! Huawei is pushing our boundaries really hard... First, it was the Bootloader lock, then no 3rd Party Launchers, now Automatically Add watermark to our photos... Hmmm...

That setting is already there, it's just set to off now. The new firmware probably just defaults to on, so simply turn it off in camera settings.

How do you guys get an update thru HICARE? Also, it's the hicare app on the phone, right? Nothing shows app everytime I try to check since I got the phone. I always have to wait for the OTA.
EDIT: Figured it out... downloading update now.

Had the same reaction at first but when I checked it was indeed a setting and to be honest upon reflexion it would have been a dumb move from them to force a watermark/logo on photos

Open the support app. Go to me tab on the bottom right in that go to settings and change region to China and I assume if you imported from China via eBay or other sources you should be able to get the update. You can either go to settings or use the services section and find the update button after that you will see update and even if you change region back to your original it will be fine and see the update.

I think this is a bit "dangerous" way because buttons menu will set in Chinese language, how can restore it in your language after that? I don't know Chinese language.
And second thing, at my Huawei Support App I haven't got any update software button and I have it lastest version on my Mate 30 Pro 5G.

In the support app language change will not change the system language. Just follow the steps and once it shows update available you can change location back to your original one.

I used to have it but that changed. See screenshots in my previous posts above you can get it by changing region in support app. Then go to services tab on the bottom. Scroll till you find the attached image. The red box with up arrow is for upgrade.
When you tap that it will see the update. You can change the region back after that and update using phone settings. Cheers
