Hi guys. Quick question I've got a Mate 9 that was bought in Dubai. Model number MHA-L09C185B110. Has anyone gotten any updates on this? I'm using it in South Africa will I still receive OTA updates? I've thought about rebranding to Euro firmware but I am worried I'll loose OTA Updates and it seems like a complicated process.

You will probably need a middle east sim card to trigger the update
The customer code is for middle east and Africa so hopefully not.

You will get sooner or later. If you get the updates from your provider it may take some days for them to publish it.
I checked xperifirm yesterday and the UK simfree update wasn't released yet. Not all regions have received the update.

Yes you right I checked now and all of the "Customized" firmwares got it only the UK and IL ones did not... weird!
I am late to join galaxy s7, just recently got one on eBay. UK Vodafone locked. I had it unlocked couple of days ago. Expecting it to receive nougat ota. But nothing has happened yet. When will I get that? I want to try out nougat then decide whether to root.
Removing the network lock won't have any affect on which firmware your phone has, only that you can now use it on any network & so as is you would be waiting for Vodafone to release a VOD version of Nougat.
AFAIK There is only a BTU/Samsung generic version of Nougat available in the UK on the S7 right now so if you wanted it sooner you could flash to BTU.

Thanks, Do I still need to root to flash the generic rom?
The update is available in India now! I have updated my S7 to Nougat VIA OTa

Root is never needed to flash ROMs

No, just need to flash the appropriate files with ODIN.

Just confirmed with someone from work that his unlocked (when bought) phone also hasn't got nougat ota update. Just wondering anyone here from uk who actually got the update?

Does flashing to a different rom, albeit a factory one, void warranty, trip knox or stop OTA updates? I recently bought a Galaxy S7 with Vodafone Spain (ATL) firmware (i don't live in Spain btw, I bought it from a store) and I'd like to flash the unlocked UK rom (BTU), so I can get Nougat, but i don't want to void my warranty.

Did they buy their phone from Carphone Warehouse? Only if so they're probably on XEU rather than BTU.

Im here waiting too. Unlocked UK and was on Beta updates. Feel like I've been forgot. Question is, can i flash the new BTU files without a wipe?

Yes, that is XEU. I read about the XEU firmware on a forum somewhere, he hasn't gotten the update yet. BTU is the unlocked UK firmware and the Nougat update for that is out.

Indeed that's XEU (as the previous poster said)
XEU & BTU seem to both be the same but they have different CSCs which would explain why you're not getting the update as it's not out for XEU yet.

Flashing a stock ROM eg from SamMobile won't trip Knox. Only customs ROMs & rooting do that. OTA updates should work fine if the right flashing procedure is followed.

Thanks a lot, I was getting frustrated because I don't want my firmware to have anything to do with any carrier. Do you happen to know if there is a chance that Samsung's service can see that the BTU CSC is not the phone's original CSC and decline a warranty claim?
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA Labs
When are we going to get it?! I'm from the UK with an unlocked S7 flat, bought from Carphone. And of course it's with XEU.

You could run into problems there if you needed to send the phone in for repair if the firmware is checked by the retailer or whoever they send their phones off for repair to. Personally would just flash it back to the original CSC before sending it off. Both CSCs would need to be on the same Android version though as from what I remember reading flashing an Android downgrade can brick your phone. I did read elsewhere someone managed to flash back to Marshmallow from Nougat as VoLTE wasn't working in Nougat as it turned out both were using the same boat loader but that's the only case like that I recall.
From experience Samsung's Smartswitch software doesn't look your phone up to establish which firmware it should have. It just goes on the current CSC if you were eg. to do an emergency firmware initialisation.

Oh, I see. If I flash back to my original CSC before handing it over, albeit both on the same version, is there a chance they might not notice? Thanks a lot btw.

Flash the firmware from on SamMobile it's probably better than upgrading via OTA as well.

update. i have successfully flash the nougat using the sammobile rom (btu). i followed this video step and step and it's very successful, it even keeps all the apps and data, just like an ota update would do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFV9WkZ9FfY&t=57s
What to debranded this phone but can find MHA-L09C34B122 incase debrand goes bad. This is a single SIM model so need a good replacement rom that will get ota faster. Any ideas
Sent from my MHA-L09 using Tapatalk
The best rebranding option for a single-sim device is probably MHA-L09C432.
But there's no reason you can't rebrand it to a dual-sim device. It's just, the IMEI will be 0000000 for the second sim, so you can only use one sim.
If going to another variant and can get orginal provided rom C34B122 can i cross flash Cust partition? To other variant

This phone sucks for custom stuff.. Optus hasn't released firmware onto Huawei servers so thinking I'll switch to another phone. Hopefully Note 8 not far away..

i have the same build number Optus MHA-L09C34B122 ... sorry if i ask a silly question but how do i do the rebranding? also what about back up and reverting back to the original in case something goes wrong?
appreciate your help.
No rom isn't on Huawei servers looks like Optus hasn't released firmware yet. The Optus P9 Roms are on there so maybe due to it being new

You can use FunkyHuawei for that. It's a paid service though.

Their Twitter team is hopeless to be honest i tweeted them to ask where in the UK i could get a spare official charger absolutely no clue pretty poor for a company wanting to be classed as a premium OEM

Exactly what i thought Brutos, they posted that their going to be bigger than Samsung, they need to sort their act out to have any chance
