Just purchases a used mate 9 love it so far but want to update to emui 5.1, however the updater tool does not appear. It only appears when searched for in the settings but does nothing. How can I get this functionality back? Themes do not work as well. Build number MHA-L29C185B172 . Thanks
System Update should be right there at the bottom of the Settings Panel...

No maybe the previous owner did? Forgot to mention I bought it used. If I have the correct update.zip, update_full_MHA.....zip, and update_data full_public.zip would this be sufficient enough to update manually?

that must be the case. if you flash those files you'll get update app back as well as theme app and some other Huawei crap

OK.. Basics? Worth a try.... Get your developer options, make sure both that USB debug and the Huawei's one (somewhere in security) are on and then use HuaweiSuite to repair.

The Huawei suite let's you update? Also, I got the updater tor to appear, not sure how because the main installer failed. Would still like to update to 5.1 somehow. The updater so no new firmware. Thanks

Well, you can't really install the update.zips in TWRP. They do install the files it contains but fail when it tries to install update.app.
(You also need to flash the Public zip before HW. Because that zip wipes everything in /data/hw_init/ before installing so you'd lose the things HW installed if you flashed that first.)
You can update using: OTA if it finds any, Firmware Finder, HWOTA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108), or paid alternatives.
Latest is B187 on http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=MHA-L29C185&firmware_page=0
But it's EMUI 5.0.1, not 5.1. Only 5.1 is some Chinese beta I think.

Tried everything...ERecovery gives me the "getting package failed" (and that was with the stock recovery installed), trying to install a firmware through the HOLD VOLUME+ AND VOLUME- while booting gives me "Software install failed: The Update package does not exist"...I'm running TWRP currently, and no ROM at all is installed...Ideas?
I have a copy of stock ROM TWRP backup. I'll see if I can upload it when I get off today. I think it is update B131 on Stock EMUI 4.1.

Try pushing this to your device. Should restore just system. Let me know if it works for you. You'll need to unzip it after you download it.

Find an older ROM and try this method as your last... This one definitely works, but you need to do OTA from beginning.

My boot.img provided in repository thread is for BLN-L21C432B365 build, as listed in OP and in my post there; what's your build number? An unmatching build could be the cause of this. For example, recovery for BLN-L21C432B365, differs from BLL-L21C130B365 - the B365 at the end is equal, but the build variant is different and so incompatible

Can someone please provide me system gallery app for honor 6x? I just accidentally flashed gapps before backing up the bloatware. Flashable zip would be appreciated. Have a nice day everyone
Here it is, gallery2 apk (stock EMUI 5.0.1 gallery app) compressed into a flashable zip.
The zip was created with App2zip from Play Store; i own a BLN-L21 6X, so if your build number is different from mine i can't ensure it'll works. It could give error while installing package due unmatching build no, but i hope it'll works :fingers-crossed:

Answering to your first question, write your build number here and if it should match mine, i'll provide an OEMINFO flashable zip to restoring your device to B360. Second, what do you mean with "can't install the TWRP"? I always used OpenKirin's too and never missed a shot.

And that is probably because your oem unlock option was off when you restored the TWRP backup, be sure to have always enabled FRP and OEM unlock for cases like this in future... Anyway, to make that option switchable again, you need to relock your bootloader, tick OEM unlock and then unlock it again. If it's grayed out it means that bootloader was already unlocked, so you should be able to use adb/fastboot commands from terminal to relock/unlock it again.

Not really, as i know we can install roms by DLOAD only if they are 2 zips package, this one have 3 zips. But if i'm not wrong someone said is TWRP flashable, so if you really want it go TWRP and try it, if not, just wait for official OTA.

3. Download the selected files through Fimrware Finder app or any other application.
4. After downloading, reboot into TWRP and make Backup.
5. Install in sequence 3 downloaded update files, minor errors may appear during installation
6. Reboot to Android..

ok....
So you think that @ScardracS is wrong?
If the firmware is not aprovved for installation, the only way using twrp is the method you have mentioned in post 7: flashing modificated recoveries and using cmd console in twrp to flash the 3 zips. (I trying a couple of times with no success).
Redlotus method is easier than twrp method for me.
Go to the thread and try it or wait to the OTA when firmware be aprovved.

Just received B401 OTA. January security patch.
Hi guys, anyone tried the TWRP way to flash the three files yet? I downloaded them for my L09 but am a bit hesitant to risk it from scratch... And anybody has an idea what will happen to my data if I proceed (will the phone be factory reset?) and what happens to the root (stays or goes?). Thanks for any hints...
Hi I just saw the update 8.0.0.521 FRD-L09C432B521 is available in Firmware finder android app
I tried to use the method, I used before to update my rooted phone, flashing stock recovery first, but it s not working :
-Classic OTA (no firmware finder ) cant find it
-firmware finder proxy method, I got a "checksum control error at the beginning of the 1.16GO OTA download
I actually have B406 installed
I check the 3 "FullOta-MF-PV" available in firmware finder, but there are "not approved for installation"
Is there a way to bypass and install anyway, or should I just wait for another update to be usable?
Thanks

DONT, I Tried To Use HurUpdater To Get Oreo Early Even If Its Not Approved, I Got Bricked, I Was Stuck At A Fastboot Error Screen, My Bootloader Was Still Unlocked Because I Put Another Custom Recovery With HurUpdater. So I Booted To ER Recovery And It Looked Different, It Looked Much Better Than The Android 7 ER Recovery. Then Next In Order To Get Out Of This Brick, I Pressed The Button To Dowbload Latest Firmware And Recovery And It Worked!! Usually That Does Not Work With Android 7 ER Recovery. So I Typed In My Wifi Password And It Installed And Removed Everything, So I Was Back At B406 FRD-L09C432. But I Had An "Appdata" Back up in twrp before i did this. Then I Got All My Data Back (Apps, Saves On Games, Even My Settings Were Back From The Appdata Backup From That TWRP Appdata Backup)

Is this method using a russian systemversion, or rebranding the phone?

HurUpdater Is Meant For Updating Your Device, I Was Using FRD-L09C432
I Would Suggest Waiting Until Someone Has A Better Method
Don't rush, just wait. I'm currenty sitting on B407. It'll be available in some time via OTA.

Please stop using capital letters at the beggining of each word
I think we all should wait for official update. If the firmware is on Firmware Finder, it means that the official update is very soon. We need to be a little bit more patient.

IMHO, you have to understand that modifying anything from stock room (root, bootloader...) will prevent you to get any official update easily.
By rooting, you chose this.

When I Rooted, It Made My Phone Much More Faster, It Disable Apps From Running In The Background, I Kinda Wanted It Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......
Only If Huawei Allows You To Update While Rooted.....
Plus Firmware Finder Dns And Proxy Stopped Working, So I Have No Way To Force Update It Using The Stock Recovery
HurUpdater Bricks My Device When I Try To Update To Oreo, I Think Im Doing Something Wrong Though
@SuperSwordSmasher Please stop using capital letters at the beggining of each word [emoji33]
I have Oreo witch HurUpdater and work fine.
The best way to upgrade to Oreo is to use method 2 with root on this guide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
Assuming that you're on Nougat and Oreo is available for your region (or you already rebranded).
If the phone doesn't boot, go to recovery and wipe data.
Then use multitool v8 to install emui 8 compatible recovery, it's not perfect but Magisk can be installed (but uninstaller doesn't work ... Be careful with the modules you use ?)
I received and install B407 Today, stock usual OTA way... Maybe B521 soon..
