How to update to Oreo with a locked phone? - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Greetings. Not long ago I got a brand new Mate 9 vía a carrier. For that reason, the Software has a Custom version of Nougat build over C605 software version. How can I update my device? What would the correct steps be?

Honor 8 Frd-L09C185 Ota update query

Hello Fellow Members,
I have bought this phone 2 months back from Abu Dhabi when I was there for vacations. The phone variant as mentioned above is Frd-L09C185. Now I am back in India (Mumbai). I am a bit confused with the OTA updates part. My query is now that I am here will I get the OTA meant for Indian Variant or the EU Variant ( I guess that's what L09 belongs to). Secondly if me suppose to receive the updates for the European Variant will I receive them here in India. I want my phone to be updated to the latest version. My current version is FRD-L09c185B102 where is guess B102 is the os version. Request all you experienced guys to please help clear my query. Thanks in advance.

I think its middle east variant. You won't get Indian version update. As India has FRD-02.
So is there no way to update phone over OTA? I don't wanna do it manually as I don't wanna take a risk of damaging it. I am currently on B102 OS version and when I try to update it I am told there are no updates available. So if my phone is from middle east can't it be updated in India?

You will receive the Nougat update. But it will take more months to reach you are you are in Middle East version (Less prioritized)

Seems that your region got the Bet update version today.
If you are enrolled in Beta, you would have got it - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v68848/f1/full/update.zip
You can try with Charles trick to update this one.

ok. Did you receive this update after coming down to India or while you were in Abu Dhabi?
I had received this update - B130 immediately after the purchase in Dubai in Dec 2016 and after that havent received any update.
Try this don´t worry
Tried the Charles app method.. Quite a few times. The update was just 1.39 GB not the 2.2 gb because of which The update failed and dint try there after. Guess will now have to wait for the official push(sigh). I have no issues with EMUI 4.1 currently and in fact quite happy with it. Just bcos of the eagerness to upgrade don't want to brick the phone, especially since Huawei doesn't have international warranty policy.
Is vote support extended by Huawei to honor 8 FRD-L09 model? I am in India and would love to have the volte feature. As of now on LTE is available. Had read somewhere that VOLTE would be soon provided via software update. Also heard that Indian variant FRD-02 has received the VOLTE support

Nope, hasn't received it yet. Last update was April 5th I believe. Pretty lame and pathetic if ask me. Huawei wants to break into the US market they are going to have to start doing better than this. Had it to do over with, I'd got something else besides this phone.
Oreo updates

There is only a beta release for our c567 so far, to install any of the ones for other regions you're going to have to unlock your bootloader, rebrand, and install that Oreo using the steps in other threads, our mate 9 c567 Oreo should be rolling out as an OTA update in a few weeks so I'd be patient and wait a while, I installed a different regions ROM and want really happy with it at all.
Dear @ revjamescarver,@ Thunderbolt69
thank you for the detailed reply's. Ill probably wait for the ota .I have side loaded twrp but not rooting until update will roll out.
Im trying to like the phone, hopefully the update will roll soon
Happy Holidays

In other threads about the exact same "new" 140 updates, it's told that it is emui 4 with google security updates.
I I got it well, there is nothing to upload for firmware finder, as it searches on Huawei servers. Correct me if I'm wrong
Someone say that this version is marshmallow on another thread but it's not. Make firmware takes Time ! And Time is money ! They can't do 3 or 4 updates for 3 peoples in the World ! So for me it's test build for new updates (Oreo or nougat)
Since septembre, we can view 4 builds (B350,B351,B135,B140) ! B135 is a sp03 like the B392 sp01 was a test build for new 5.0.1 EMUI version !

Imho you're wrong when you think only few people still use MM on their honor 8.
Latest MM was 131, N is 3xx, and this is 140...
(edit) Look at firmware sizes, 131/140, all nougat roms..
When you have sources, upstreaming to google updated source might not be that hard.
Anyway, I can't tell more as I did not rollback to MM just to try this.

update to oreo

i have gr5 2017 bll-l21 and i m using android 7.0 and i want to update to 8.0 oreo
i never get an update about oreo
And you'll never get it unless you rebrand it to Indian/Chinese variant because it has been released only for these two regions.
To manually update to Oreo, you'll need first of all an unlocked bootloader; do you have it?

You need open bootloader also for debranding to indian variant BLN-L22. Key for open bootloader is since summer 2018 only avallible by paying for. Not very expensive. But concider. I habe debrandet from europe to indian and it was not so out of problems, as I saw it before. And I did not find anybody, who got OREO after debranding by OTA.

You'll need to rely on services like DC Phoenix, FunkyHuawei, ecc. - once done so, you'll be able to unofficially flash literally anything

Firmware for EMUI 10 for ELS-N04 (C792E7R3P1)

Hello, I'm trying to downgrade my P40 Pro to an earlier version of EMUI 10 to get GMS via Googlefier. But all the links and guides do not show a firmware for my variant which is ELS-N04 (C792E7R3P1).
Just wondering if anyone has been able to find the correct firmware, or has used an alternative firmware (ELS-NX9 maybe?).
Thanks in advance!

I'm a bit confused by your reply. You're saying that you were successfully able to downgrade? How did you know to use that firmware version?

I downgraded successful to ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.131 (perhaps ELS-NX9) however it is not C972E7R3P1 so I cannot update OTA after that. That is reason why I am seeking firmware C972E7R3P1.
What is your firmware version now or previous?
I didn't remember the firmware version before I downgraded it.

I have just updated to version ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.134 to version ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.148 by HiSuite Proxy.

May I know how can you downgrade to 10.1.0.134 and where did you find the firmware? My region is C792 also. I can't find any. Thanks

I'd like to register and then thank VVVNNN! Almost the same route and only difference is that I got my ELS-N04 in July 2021. Downgrade from EMUI 11 to 10.1.0.134 and got GMS installed via ictfix way but lost OTA. I could live with it but when APP twin opened, notification back again. I had to go without GMS as the phone is for family member who is light GGL user. Ourplay( VM) can solve the problem. Then back to 0.148 via Hisuite proxy.
The thing I've not tested is if GMS remains after upgrade from 10.1.0.131/4 to 0.148 by backup/restore? As all data was wiped out.
finding proper firmware is the hardest part of going up and down the version. And it seems to me that Hisuite Proxy might be the best way to get the right one, if not the only way. Thanks to all contributors on the forum, I may go with my mate 30 to get gms installed.
