Perhaps you can give Firmware Finder a try. Get it on play store.

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.

I check the update function on my phone regularly since I bought it a couple of weeks ago and still no update.
Is it normal? I saw other thread talking about B156 and B162 and I am not sure if they are the update version or not.
I would be interested in that topic also. Got the device today, same firmware.. No updates available when clicking check update.

This is your Mate 8 model:
NXT-L29C636
You can get official OTA updates for this model only.
Other version numbers (B152, B156, B160, etc) might refer to other Mate 8 models (different market areas).
Installing different ROM versions is possible but must be done flashing manually.
Thank you for clarifying. I think I will wait for the OTA update.

OTA = Over The Air. I think it mean official download directly into your phone from the update menu.
I got mine with same firmware in Cambodia, it's the international model, only European and English/US languages, has Playstore & Google and no Chinese Bloatware. Strange, that there seems to be no update from B103...

Technically you're not forcing an update, but switching to another version of rom which has a more recent build number. You may (or may not) run into bugs when switching between rom updates designed for different markets (e.g. from C636 to C900), even if they both belongs to the 'international' (L29) version of the phone. Even if you don't run into bugs, the update may install radio firmware that is not optimized for your country, which could affect connectivity performance.
I'm still on L29C636B103 and waiting for OTA. Newer builds for L29C636 is not yet available for some reason. I think the C636 corresponds to a minor market so Huawei put it further down the line when creating newer builds. Just guessing.

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.

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)

Apparently it's not working in Philippines...
Not working even in india
Its available now (Philippines). I have yet to update since its around 3.6gb.
It worked for me. I was on 153 version but I had to setup country and language for hicare. After 2 days checking for updates it finally showed the request update page. I'm already on emui 9.
Im emui 9 now. And there's no dark theme/mode it's so white probably going to hurt SOT.
Nice to know that the beta feedback wasn't even listened to.... No dark mode, the recent apps screen goes a strange blue colour sometimes as well as not letting you tap an app to the left or right to select it, apps randomly close when using them even when you've turned on manual battery management, the list goes on... Left feedback for all of these on the beta app but never heard anything back so what was the point??
How on Earth an Asia Pacific release can be global?
Nothing here in Hungary... Still on 151.

I dont think so. Honor 10 got IPS LCD screen, so all part of the screen is illuminated, unlike AMOLED.

Then you're either lucky or have an unlocked bootloader. There's no update here since 151. Probably we're a forgotten region here...
Also, there's no such thing az 153, even on FF.

Yes, I'm from Brazil. Change your system language to something other than pt-br. Clean app data and turn off location. When you fire the app again just set up the region. After that you can set your system language back to whatever you want. The app will keep the language you set.

I am also not sure whether it's working anymore. Let's hope it works.
Btw why you got full ROM as ota instead of incremental ota have you modified your device?
It works, its for the device, nothing to worry about.
Just updated totay to .162, no issues. Maybe Firmware Finder (Android App) will get it in some days or try search for yourself with the Desktop Firmware Finder.
