Hi
I want to update my Mate 8 to Nougat/Emui 5.0. I have read threads and notice different build numbers but none which are the same as mine. Can anyone recommend how to update without issue? I have tried HiSuite but continues to tell me I am on the current build. I am new to upgrading manually; I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks. Current build NXT-L29C185B190 in USA.

Same boat, but, if from what I understand is correct, that the L29C185B is a middle east/African version, the only way around it would be to order a
prepay sim card from that region, then try it on wi-fi, or blow everything out and update it with a different build.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the Mate 8 was "officially" released in the USA, but, some of the other versions will work in the USA if the device
is not sim locked, which mine and apparently yours is.
I'm looking into a simple 1,2,3 step procedure, but haven't found one. It's been over 5 years since I was active in flashing.
My old Note1 was pretty stable, then my Mate2 was so stable, I didn't bother updating it, and it's been the same with the Mate8.
Can I live without 7, yes, but I'd like to have the option at some point.

Thanks for the info. I can live without 7.0... but I hate emui 4.0... I want 5.0. Anyone know if the other region update with corresponding SIM will work in the US without issue? Africa/Middle East?

FYI, I reached out to the USA version of Huawei, and they said since the version I have is not a USA version, they couldn't provide support, but,
they did give me a link to send a question to the international version of Huawei. I sent them an email, but since it was before sunrise in
China, they probably haven't read it yet.
Here's the link if you want to email them also: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=hotline

Thanks. I sent an email, as well. Did they even make a US version/model of the Mate 8? I have the Mate 9, as well, bought from Amazon. I have yet to see updates for it, either. Supposed to have the update to add Alexa to it. Odd.
You can debrand to C636 or C432 and use everything as you use on C185, if nougat is so important for you, then.

Not so much "important" as it is, but it would be "nice" to have it for future apps, security etc.
I ran 4.3JB for a LONG time on my Mate2, until they came out with 5.1LL
Wait, they will roll out better firmware to all
OTA update in USA?
My Mate 8 is model L29C185B162, so it's also the Africa/Middle East version, and I'm in the USA.
I'd rather not deal with a manual update. Is it possible to get an over-the-air update to EMUI 5/Nougat for this phone? Do I need to insert an Israeli or South African SIM card to get this to work? If so, any tips on the best way to get one?
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi, I am a newbee to this forum, however I have used Mate 7 & 8 earlier, with little trouble.
I bought a Mate 9 from Wondamobile in England at a very high price, after making sure it was MHA-L29 model. I received the Mate, apparently from China in a shabby package and it was MHA-29, however the Asian model C636 with B110. Then I started reading xdadevelopers, because I had trouble with installing Microsoft Exchange and similar stuff, after 3 days of reading and trying to use the Funky-app, I gave up, and decided that I had bought a very expensive Camera, that could not be updated (tried 100-times to update via the Mate and HiSuite) I even found and downloaded updates that I could not find out of how to install (after 3 days of intensive reading ).
But this afternoon when I took a closer look, at the update-app of the phone, I noticed 3 small dots on the top line of the app of which one was: "Get latest full package" (or something like that as mine is running Danish language). I pressed the line and was immidiately asked if I wanted to download and install B138, I was even presented with update info., so I happily pressed YES and are now the proud owner of a Mate 9 that speaks Danish to me and handle my Exchange mail perfect.
Hope someone can use this info

Hi duraaraa!
No I did not succeed in setting up the FunkyHuawei DNS, because my Spanish provider apparently would not allow me (I partly live in Spain). So I actually decided to wait and give your Funky system a shot after I returned to Denmark (where I can handle the DNS).
But I actually just updated via the "3-dots" on the phone, after trying normal updating on the update-app, a lot of times everyday since I received the phone 1/1.

In that case it's safe to assume that your phone was on Huawei's approved list for that firmware version. I didn't know about the downloading full firmware feature before, though, so it will give me something to look into and reverse engineer
this works for me too!!! in the US bought on eBay C636 too!!! Awesome!!!!

Didn't work for me (sob!) on my Euro version in the UK.
It didn't work for me as well when I try that in Canada.
I can confirm that this was the method I discovered in the USA using the MHA-L29C636. Sadly, it did not improve the MMS handling for the native messaging app.

So this would confirm that the updates are not dependent on the sim matching the phone region?
Is anyone aware of the possibility to flash firmware using the "DLOAD" folder on an external SD-Card?
It works for the MHA-L29C636 model (I've tested it).
My problem is that once i had it flashing from that dload folder, I forgot to delete it. So I set up my Mate 9 completely and when re-entering the eRecovery it flashed that ROM once again and did also do a factory reset.
So I had to set it up once again.
Is there any known possibility to disable factory resetting when flashing from the dload folder?
Btw. I have to admit that I was on B158 before and the ROM in that dload folder was B110. So it did a downgrade when I re-entered eRecovery.
need Dload files Oreo MHA c636 for update my mate9 nougat need drive link or mega FFinder no works more
Anybody got any update above b190 for L29C567? US version that is. The Intl C432 version got 2 or 3 updates after our May update.
Should we consider rebranding?

There's a beta, B230, out for the US version. That's the latest release, albeit not an officially pushed one.
Probably new version will come soon, I'd think.

Me either...I do appreciate those that run the betas, but 190 is VERY stable for me. I've gotten old enough, cranky
enough, and stubborn enough to just run official release versions. At the end of the day when I get home from
work, I don't even pick my phone up, unless someone actually calls me, and even with that, it better be a family
member or I won't touch it. I get enough calls, text, emails on the thing during the day.:cyclops:
Same here...was tempted to rebrand and try some of the custom ROMs but this phone is working so well for me. I also doubt the 230 version has any features that makes it worth it to update. I will wait for Oreo before I mess with it again.

Fair enough
Anyone else here on C782 in the United Kingdom and still on 110 while everyone else is either on 120 or 128.
This needs to be improved by huawei as the P20 Pro has been a success within the United Kingdom
yep.. i have the l29 from three and on 110
just thinking to rebrand because of this
I read somewhere that unfortunately the networks need to approve the updates before they're pushed out as well which obviously adds more to the process. It's so ridiculous that Huawei chose to work this way with the UK model.
In the same boat myself, thinking of debranding.
Not totally sure if after de-branding you'll need another code to unlock again if the bootloader locks down.
If that's the case and they stop the codes then you'll end up without the ability to unlock the phone again.

Nice one mate, i'm going to do it this weekend.
It looks like I have twrp AND stock recovery installed at the same time.....I can boot both. Does that means i will still be able to get OTAs?
It's my first Huawei....
Have any of the UK network branded devices been updated to 128 yet?
......still waiting patiently on my unbranded. I thought it would recieve updates near the front of the queue
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm on the C636 model and also having firmware updates withheld..
.. Whats the consensus on which model to debrand to?
Which models correspond to which regions and which are more likely to get updates or other benefits?
Also.. Does this effect the LTE frequencies used or VoLTE and WiFi calling that are sometimes specific to particular regions?

Oooh I don't think I'd get the pixel 2 mate.
Why not debrand your p20 and give it a chance, better things are coming im certain of that, I mean I hop between devices usually once a year or more because I get bored so fast so I know what you mean but I think it'd be too soon to commit to another phone. Unless you can cover the entire cost of the device.
People in the US may buy it, I'd grab an unlock code just in case too :good:
If your hearts set on a pixel, wait for the three, you'll hate having the 2 the second you see their new one. There's quite a difference between them.

Hello Guys,
I bought this G710ULM from GoogleFi when it came out and I see there is a way to update to android 10 with a korean version of it.
There are some guides on youtube, but I am not sure if I should wait for the OTA update, which may never come, or just do the korean version on my phone.
Will I gain anything? I mostly use the phone for the good cameras for video and pictures using the main camera app for this phone.
Worth it, issues, let it go?
Any advise appreciated. thanks
Following the instruction I have found on youtube, someone posted there that their android 10 update made their G710ULM to a G710NULM, and Google play certified. Is this a good outcome? Not sure, thanks for any insight.

I didn't do korean version on my ulm version, i did it with unlock us version (awm) to upgrade to q. Battery seems great. 35% left on midnight from 5am with mild usage (phone calls and some social media). Not sure about camera improvement, as i don't use camera very often. Btw, i bought my g7 second handed, bl locked so no root, just use greenify and icebox for hibernating bloatware apps.

Are our Google Fi phones ever going to get an official update?
I had 10ulm and flashed it with the G710AWM and now every time I boot my phone i get:
WARNING: Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched carrier. Check NT-code: FFFFFF : 84
The phone works fine since it was unlocked, but I am getting a ton of calls go straight to voicemail and this may be the issue? How can I fix this?
any help appreciated. Thanks
Can someone please tell me the way to get android 10 in G710ULM?

If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!

I read Samsung already started rolling out out this update at the beginning of the week(2/15)
to include this handset. I'm TMB and that's a
no-go (so far) and Sprint hasn't rolled it out either.
Anyone with new Intel on this matter, please share as a small monetary contribution will be made available(jk)!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!
(We will know more soon, I'm certain)!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

Yeah...what's up with that samsung? You shoot the new update to our traded-in or sold devices first, after we spent more money with you to be last on the update list again?! wtf...
having 986U, T-mobile unlocked from the included app, I already received the update UI 3.1 here in Africa where I am with my job. The SIM card /carrier is Africell.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.
Finally got mine today. I am with AT&T

I'm glad to see Samsung always improving their camera function as that is one of their claim-to-fames, one that snagged-me as I've said many times! However, I was sorta expecting to see something thrown in the mix about changes implemented to extend battery life...wasn't just me, right?
Got it today. U1 XAA running on visible.

Are you based in USA, and if so which carrier do you have wireless service with?
