Why not?!
That was mentioned in another thread, noone could flash firmware without PV at the end.
As you say, everyone knows. Him too. He just gives the information that there is a new firmware.
However...i was asking myself why they put the latest firmwares only without PV...and if they will ever come out. I'm really exciting about these new updates (my previous phone was abandoned after two months...if xda didn't exists....)
Can't install! Twrp gives me error if i try to flash the 3 files. I'm stuck on b381

Install newest official firmware

Hi all,
i am facing some problem with battery drain on my mobile. Previously i installed new firmware using firmware finder. So I decided to install clean, newest stable official firmware for Europe. So guys, could you please tell me, which version i can flash ? Maybe some download link will be good. I want to install new firmware using TWRP., because i want clean installation. Or do you have some better idea? please let me know. I am currently using B380 flashed from FF.
Thank you
Flash or update to B389 Europe that's the current OTA firmware unless thre newer in different regions..

B350-351 updates

What's in this update guys anyone has informations?
I just seen it. Dont know but if you try to download one update then system updater want you to download second (fixes), now I downloaded more than 12! I think it must finish at 2.3gb as standard full firmware.
Hello
Why these numbers 350-1? Very strange

B135 SP03. Something is definitely coming! And it's not the usual I think.
I tried to flash it through twrp but it's not flashable

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.

Update available 9.0.0.162(E) but not on Firmware Finder

Hi guys, my phone just showed me that an update 9.0.0.162(E) is available.
What is ths? Especially the (E). Never saw that before.
But i can't find the firmware on Firmware Finder.
Is there any information if and when the update will arrive?
Is it just a security patch? The update app says its's 3,69GB.
I'm currently on 9.0.0.159(patch01).
My Model is a german C432.
Me too

If you have not yet installed it it's better to share it firmware finder.
There is an option to share in firmware finder.
I thought it's present in firmware finder and installed it without sharing.

I am also not sure whether it's working anymore. Let's hope it works.
Btw why you got full ROM as ota instead of incremental ota have you modified your device?
It works, its for the device, nothing to worry about.
Just updated totay to .162, no issues. Maybe Firmware Finder (Android App) will get it in some days or try search for yourself with the Desktop Firmware Finder.
I got this.

Thats might be because you have modified system and updater detected it and its downloading full package instead of OTA.

Ya I too tried earlier, its buggy on all Honor devices but works fine on mate 20.
My device is rooted but I still have stock erecovery
Can I just apply the update without any damage? I just have to root it again, right?
I wanted to apply the tutorial of ThreeMMM to update. The problem ist that I dont have the FullOTA to extract the update.app.
How should I do that?

Yes no damage
Yes you have to root again.
Can you reflash the stock recovery and then check for the new update again? I think that way maybe instead of full ota update maybe you have to install partial files
