current UK version - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Does anyone know what the current UK firmware release version is?
I'm on B182 but think there may be others in the UK on something more recent.
If you have something more recent, how did you get the update?
Thanks.

Hi I'm in UK on three same version as you

C432 is on B182.

B193 was released a few days ago on Huaweis servers, it's probably not approved to anyone yet.

That's good news....thanks.

Guess there's no idea when this might be approved by Huawei?

Just got B190 yesterday morning.

Just got B190 in UK.

Just got B190 today uk.

I went back to B190 because B193 is a bit buggy, and I experienced battery drain (could be because of other things)

HWOTA, I never get any updates otherwise.
It's the flash and rebrand guide in Guides.

Yes. But no. Hwota lets you install any update, or downgrade. I would still be at B138 if it wasn't for that.
My Mate 9 is from Germany and I'm in Sweden, it seems I must use a German sim to get OTA.

I see but when you say you're using HWOTA, are you meaning the usual OTA from the phone settings or something else.
Thanks.

This one https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
It requires to unlock bootloader and you can only flash Full firmware, not OTA updates.
Also it seems Android Pay doesn't want to work in recent builds if they are uncertified (which they are until Huawei approves them)

Update through HiCare?

Hello, so I'm currently waiting for the Nougat update to arrive on my Honor 8 (L09) but I noticed that I can upgrade with HiCare, so is this recommended or will it wipe my device? And should I use HiCare or just wait for the OTA in the updater app?
Hi! I did the update to EMUI b360 via the Hicare app on my L09 honor 8 and it went just fine. Lot of people here did the same without issues. It does not wipe the phone, but I still recommend you to do a backup before proceeding.
EMUI 5 works flawlessly, I really like it.
For your information, my phone is *not* rooted. I don't know what happens with updates when the phone is rooted

Sorry for being a total noob at this, but what do you mean with Final Beta? Is this still Beta software? Where battery optimization isn't that good etc. Or is it the one they are rolling out using the update app for some?

"Final beta" means exactly what it says on the tin. It's the least beta version. The next version will be the final release. Assuming that the report is correct.

Who said anything about final beta?
There may be a bug regarding safetynet so that Android Pay and other services might be affected. Source: https://club-us.hihonor.com/honor8....google-pay-nor-safety-checker-both-fail-.1577
Hope someone can confirm it here. So, be patient for those who haven't gotten the rollout. Let bugs resolved first.
WTF is a 'final beta'?? A beta is a beta. A final is a final. Let's not muddy the waters chaps...
B360 is the latest stable release that's being pushed to everyone. It's not a beta!
The reason that some have it and some don't is because they can't push it to everyone at the same time, they do it in waves depending on your model number, location and IMEI. If you don't have it yet just chill, it's on its way. It was due for February release anyway so think yourself lucky that you might be able to get it a little earlier if you do, if not you'll be getting it on time as expected.

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.

Firmware is 9.0.0.117(C636E3R1P11), didn't receive any update at all since put my dual sims on Friday. I tried live chat from Hicare. Was told by standard reply which firmware release batch by batch.

I went to the global Huawei consumer site and used the contact link. From there I filled in an inquiry form but I don't think they just singled me out for the update, not sure how they roll the updates out though
Thanks. Maybe I shall just wait for a while.
