Hi there. There has been an Honor event in Sicily. The fact is that they confirmed an update coming this month, probably called B390 with April security patches and other surprises. What do you think about it?
i think that opening new threads for speculating without actual info is no help mate... i read this already in another thread. Better not fill the forum with no use topics.

The honor 8 FRD-L04 has recieved the B385 update which contains the April Security Patch. Also the FRD-L09 is receiving the April patch under the name B389. So it probably contains the May Security patch.

on top of that i think that since we have pretty stable ROMs nobody will care anymore of EMUI
I hope it brings something to the table
Hi all, noob question, there are 3 files in the firmwarefinder, which one should I download for the dload flash methode?
B389 has may security patch its good

Encryption is the dangerous factor here.
On FRD-L19 the small (660MB) B389 is flashable with FF proxy method. But the same, but L09 version (which version signed "approved to install") not flashable.

In Firmware Finder is new ROM with build number 387.
Unfortunately, no flashable
Most likely it updates only the security patch to the one from May
Hello
Perhaps tomorrow we will have new updates?

I have read online that we shoud get till end of May the 7.1.1
But we will see...
Any idea what these updates are for? It's not like they work anyway, so why put them on company servers etc?

I think that we will get some update soon .. first of all it was months ago announced that
we should get till end of May the noughat 7.1.x update..
Then again the chineese version of honor got an update ( B387 ) where the camera is updated
( to use the monochrome camera and some new modes )
and they got also a battery optimisation fix ..
So I think this all is just some things happening before we get some updates...
So it is good that something about our updates is happening...

Hi. I don't think so. My international unlocked FRD- L09 never received official OTA. Manually flashed all versions till now- B360, B380, B381... Waiting for OTA is a time waste. Huawei's own software update distribution are total nonsense.
I also doubt we will receive 7.1 soon...

Emui 5.1 does not mean Android 7.1.
Huawei P10 is running Emui 5.1 on Android 7.0.
If we get it, I'm sure it will be the same thing for us and also not in May.
I have FRD-L14, and got the B385 update OTA yesterday

Thanks for the info
Something is definatly happening
Couse one contact person from Huawei reported to xda user svetius regarding source code and the partnership that we should expect something happen end May or early June
And since yesterday in FF there is also new firmware B387
And some of users got yesterday updated
So I would say something is going on
Lets wait few more weeks and see if Huawei is doing what promised
Yeah in FF new FW is shown, but half of users still haven't received update to Android 7.
I don't expect any "revolution" in updating our devices.

Hi all,
I have an MHA-L29 and it is currently running 8.0.0.360(C567). The security update is dated January 2018.
My company requires that my phone not have a security patch more than 90 days old. Is there a ROM compatible with MHA-L29 that has a newer security patch? What is the newest security patch available in any MHA-L29 ROM from Huawei, does anyone know?
And how likely am I to be able to install it? This is a retail US model phone, so far as I know.

It's better to buy other phone
Your requirement is too hard to satisfy.
You have US region and latest version is 8.0.0.360.
Even if Huawei will post new ROM need 2-3 weeks more to test and approve.
Additionally Mate 9 released at November 2016. 15 months ago. No guarantee that 8.0.0.360 is not last...
Ok. There are other regions with newer security patch, like C636. But you have to rebrand your device (unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install patched recovery) - so beat your security. Sure, it is temporary, but in advance you have to rebrand back if region C636 will not post next ROM in 90 days...
As I know, region C00 (China) has latest security patch and regularly updates. Rebrand to C00 if you are not confusing by hieroglyphs and specific memory manager (it is very aggressive to background apps)
P.s. to rebrand when using Oreo you have to rollback on Nougat's ROM, then rebrand using oeminfo in HwOta, then upgrade to Oreo.
This way cause oeminfos from Oreo are different with Nougat's files.
Gotcha. Thanks!
I was afraid of that. I'm OK with Android and Linux in general, but I don't want to do a lot of hard, risky work over and over again just to keep my phone running. Company is recommending Google Pixel 2 or iPhone. Not exciting, but I'm getting too old and lazy to hack my Android devices once a month.
Thanks for your help!

Wow, thank you for letting me know! I'll re-install the app and keep watching! Thanks again!
I have a Mate 9 C432 European version.
I install Oreo through Firmware Finder, so I have right now B363.
Through Firmware Finder I can see that the Firmware version is on B367, but newer software is not approved, and the phone always says that I have the last version of software.
I'm still on January security patch.
Is this normal? How can I update to a new version, B367 for example? The C432 officially it's still on January security patch?
You have to wait for Huawei to approve your IMEI number or use the HWOTA8 method. I would wait a bit and see what happens.
I have the same device. Yesterday I received OTA 364 - log states update due to Google system security. I'm now on February Android security patch level.
Same situation here with c432 b363. So much for Treble giving us quick security updates.
364 is not approved for me yet.
364 to 367 is not approved.... It's sad that Oreo was a quick update for a skin device like the Mate 9 but security patch, that is pretty important...
I know I could use FunkyHuawei...
Just got 364 w/ February 5 security update. Just 119Mb upgrade from 363.
My Oreo is still 8.0.0.342.

Welcome to XDA......
I got 364 a few days ago as well. New firmware that get approved for mass release usually take around a month before Huawei gets confident about approving them.
Just got the B364. The importance of the security patch is to get them monthly but February patch is better then nothing.
Yeah, got the B364 too. It surely is better than no updates, I'm personally okay with this update pace; security updates a month late isn't too bad.
Installed 8.0.0.364 yesterday via FF in-app proxy. FF is already showing 8.0.0.368 but no approved so far.
But will be approve?
Installed 8.0.0.342(C00) via OTA several days ago.

I Agree too..... honor really messed up with software updates and their EMUI AND MAGIC OS is useless and excessive bloatware and No Bootloader unlocking either and low values after sales.
For some reasons, mine skipped 129 and went straight to 137 today.

Just be patient. Got people saying that it should be around mid March for them to roll out to all regions and I got mine a day early. Mine didn't get the Feb patch too. Not sure if the Feb patch is included in the patch i received yesterday.
My previous phone was a Huawei and there was a problem with the updater, a lot of people did not received updates for almost 6 months, so they released an updater update to fix it. I hope it's not the case this time ?

Which is the right OTA file?
Hello I tried to update my Honor 20 View via the app. Unfortunately, then in the eRecovery it failed.
Do you know which file is the right one because several of the check was positive?
Is there way to force update.
Last update was released since 29 July, does this mean Huawei dumped the phone development?
It is real unfortunate to know because the phone is really a beast and working flawlessly till 9.1...
Shall we say R.I.P. Mate 9 Dev.?

yes, dev for mate9 is dead
I was able to update to 9.0 and the phone is so smooth still. I'm not sure what to get next. I like the screen size and shape and the other phones that are over 6" have a thin screen so video is actually smaller. Oh well...

Frankly, I don't see that one on FF (MHA-L29C432)
I have c432 but I'm in the USA so maybe I won't get it unless I have a euro sim card? When I used FF it starts to walk me through downloading the file but changing the routers mac or something maybe to trick the phone into thinking it's in Europe...
Hi guys
I hope i am posting in the correct place but i have the single sim version of the mate 9 and would like to rebrand it to the dual sim version, i am based in south africa.I checked some youtube videos on how to do it but i need to have the bootloader unlock code, apparently huawei has stopped users from obtaining the code, is there any other way of obtaining the code or is there any other way of rebranding to MHA - L29 which has the dual sim option.

The way and the price to obtain BL code, but also the way how to rebrand HEAVILY depend on what is your current EMUI version.
(,If you don't care about that and just follow some YT guide, you can brick the phone)
So, what is exactly
- EMUI version in Settings/System/About
- also from Settings/System/About, what is the month and year of the Security patch
See the attach

Unfortunately, you are not on Nougat or Oreo 6/2018 or older to make things cheaper and easier
See this answer (yesterday, last in the thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...e-firmware-versions-gpu-t3917826/post80486637
If you go with their Telegram group service (cca 30 EU), you should ask them to rebrand - IMO, they will do it (they have to flash some firmware upon erasing by Testpoints, anyway).
They flash remotely, you have to provide TeamViewer connection
If you go for your own (also by Testpoints) you will have to use (VM and) Linux, you will have to find (maybe pay for some) drivers and board firmware.
Shortly: you would have to downgrade to eg Nougat as described there, then to buy BL code for 4 EU from DC Phoenix, then to rebrand (there is an older thread here on XDA about rebranding Mate 9 with Nougat or Oreo Sec Patch 6/2018 or older), and finally to upgrade back to Pie
If you search for Ministry of Solutions, they can do the same/similar thing for you (requiring also to open the phone and use Testpoints, and TeamViewer) but they will ask more, about 45 EU
You could also search and explore Chimera and FunkyHuawei services, but AFAIK, they will cost even more.
With Chimera, you would not even have Bootloader code at the end to reuse, if ever needed
