Have you tried reading the forum. Literally one thread with the only way to flash firmware.
100 other threads like this one pointed in the same direction.

I'm set this UPDATE.APP on the SD Card (dload)
I'm rebooting in download/update modus
After 5% the mobile giving a " update fail"

How did you get your hands on a demo unit? They sold it like that?

I think you have to flash a full firmware. Are you shure you have IMEI's?
BTW. Samsung notes demo phones with an X . Those phones does not have imei and phisically the antenna cable is absent. I have no ideea hiawei' s mode to treat demo but seeing the option for demo mode in developer mode I thought that they don't have special models for demo...

Oh shoot, sorry to hear that. Have you tried flashing it with FunkyHuawei?

I have helped two people who had demo models before. You need to unlock your BL and rebrand to Euro model. If you can get your Bootloader code, please send me a PM and I will help.

Try rebrand it to C636. It is free. Think, all demo models are branded to one virtual customization.
But according to samsung's experience, there might be some differences in hardware. Probably. I'm not sure. Test everything after rebranding.

Any new if it worked?

Just Uninstall Retail Service app from all apps
Go to settings and all apps and scroll until you find "Retail" from the app list and uninstall it.
it worked for me on Huawei mate 9.

For demo version will not work.
Only solution what i find is to shut down the demo app.
You must click 2 times retail demo icon then will be ask for password 1122334455 from there you can shut down demo.
On that moment its not possible to remove retail app without root or rebranding change C432 (european) because is system app.
On that moment i find only way to unlock bootloader by fastboot. Unlock key you can get by dc unlocker.
Unfortunetly on that moment i cant flash any another software to that demo model and is no luck to root device or rebrand.
UPDATE:
Is lucky to flash recovery file with finded twrp (for nugat version) and not yet confirmed root.
On that moment i playing with 2 oem info files to make rebrand of device copied by twrp file manager on external sd card
/dev/block/platform/ff3b0000.ufs/by-name/oeminfo
/data/custom.bin

Use dc-unlocker to unlock the bootloader. It will cost you around 3$ but is the way to go. There is a tutorial on the homepage how to do that.

Where to download European firmware?

Hello,
My Mate 9 is running C636B110 (Asia firmware) and I have just received BL unlock code.
After BL unlock (wipe), I would like to go for TWRP, Root & xposed too if available.
Where can I download latest full European firmware and can it be flash by fastboot or other methods?

Nothing! Use the in App buttons to find IMEI & Serial no. Somehow the auto detect Serial is different than Sys info.
The code works as Bootloader show red Unlock message instead now.

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/

When i tried to flash, it restart the phone, then says "software instal failed. Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package" :/

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)

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.]

Perhaps you can give Firmware Finder a try. Get it on play store.

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)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
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.

I had C432B361 but rebranded to C636 and now on B362
Damn, Firmware Finder is showing MHA-L29C432B362 (8.0.0.362) -not supported for your device- but no sign of an update for my device
All the 432 firmwares are listed for my device but none are approved for installation and the firmware finder won't install them as a result.

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.

[HELP] Really Bad Situation - Rebrand Problem

Hello
My phone is Honor view10 BKL-AL20.
I bought it secondhand. Someone rebrand this phone. In about phone section writes Eumi5, BKL-09 and Android6. But AIDA64 says that my phone is Android8 Also in this app shows that my system is BKL-09... But behind the phone writes BKL-AL20..
So, bootloader unlocked.(Also Imei repaired.) How can I return it to original rom. I have downloaded original stock rom files by firmware finder. But I wonder that if I rebrand the phone, will Imei lost and other stuffs?
What files I have to backup for example wifi drivers etc.
I really need to change original rom because I even cant set a theme.

Look on the back of your phone
The actual model is printed on the back.. Mine is definitely a l09

That's what you have.. This was rebranded it seems.
As I'm not privy to how their number system works.. This is just my opinion.
Maybe the whole Bkl al20 is the hardware and the rest region?.
I've seen where honor 9 is flashing honor 10 roms... Who knows.
