Can I rebrand AND update to Oreo simultaneously? - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi everybody, I've seen many guides on how to rebrand Mate 9 and on how to update to Oreo... But as I'm a beginner on this subject I would like to know if there is a way to do BOTH at the same time:
I've got a chinese MHA-AL00 running stock Nougat and I'm tired of all those chinese notifications and HiApp crap.... I want to rebrand to C432 or c636 (don't know the difference) to get full Google integration (mainly for Assistant support) instead of that HiApp sh*t....
Can I flash it directly to an international Oreo?

I think you should rebrand while on Nougat to C432 (Europe) or C636 (Singapore if I'm correct) and then update to Oreo using the OTA in system settings. I rebranded from AL00 too to C432 and had the Oreo update via OTA.
There is a good comprehensive guide somewhere here about rebranding.

You can. Here is the method, only difference that you have to choose rebrand at the software instead of flash update.

OTA Updates?

EDIT: On Oreo now.
EDIT:
Is you're stock at an "old" version and the "normal" way of updating via OTA dosn't work try this:
Go to system update setting,
Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select download latest full package.
That should give you the latest Nougat updates.
For Oreo: Try to use HiSuite
Not all countries receive updates at the same time. Even not all phones in the same country.
If you have automatic update enable you'll receive a notification.
Hope so your model belong to the UK (Not sure). If it is UK model, you will get the update within the first batch of release.
If you belong to any other region it takes time. But you will get it for sure.
Depends on the sponsors in your region, your carrier...

No, my model don't "belong" to the UK. I live in Denmark and bought the phone in Denmark.
Don't know if you mean UK model as in European model.
I bought the phone off-contract (it's not branded it anything), so it's not depending on any carrier.
Well I as have understood it, there is no UK version, only a European version (for Europe).
I have the same model and got the b120 update a few days after it was reported here (i guess most here have the US model). The b150 seems to take longer though

As I understands it Huawei have released 6.0.1 aka B150.

Strange? I received and installed B160 and phone info reports I'm on android 6.0
I have model frd al10
Does this mean higher ota version number not necessarily higher version of Android?
Seems like there are 3 versions (regions) of Honor 8.
EU, US and Chinese versions. (32 and 64 gb)
Anyone knows or can confirm which models have what versions of Android, as the latest available as we speak?
Seems like the EU (FRD-L09/AL19) version is running Android 6.0 - B120 (unbranded - not carrier depending)

All are running in 6.0 update. However some region would have got 6.0.1 update. Some regions would have not got it.
Always there will be one incremental update difference (maximum) between the regions. As all regions wont get the update in the same time.
Ok, let me put it this way: Has anyone with the FRD-L09 model received the B150/6.0.1 update yet?
B141 is out of the box. B150 is slowly being distributed still.
I don't think Asian and EU/US release codes are the same.
India 32GB = FRD-L02 firmware so there's more than 3 regional firmware types
The latest firmware for L09C432 is B131 and that is the EU region, L09C636 is Asia, L09C185 is Africa/Middle East, US is L04, India is L02.
Is not just the modell like L09 that says where your phone is from, is the Cust, like C432, C636, C185, then there is Branded phones like C02 is Vodafone, C55 is TIM Italy and so on....
So for your version if u are from Denmark u should have C432 the latest is B131.
Then we have China modells like AL10 and DL00, C10....
U have a thread with latest firmware here.

Yes, I have the C432 model. However my current build is: FRD-L09C432B120, and there is no update, if I check with the "Updater". The phone was shipped with version FRD-L09C432B120, so so far I haven't installed any updates...

It might be a Beta version. Wait for the bugs to get fixed and get a stable update as OTA
If you need now, you can update manually.
B150 is on the way. Major release.

[NXT-AL10] update to Nougat and EMUI 5.0

Hi guys,
I have just bought a mate 8 nxt-al10 (chinese version, unlocked) two weeks ago on Priceminister, and i've recently seen that the mate 8 received the nougat and emui 5.0 update... My friend got the same phone, but in TL00 version (chinese version too but locked for chinese carriers) and she got the update.....whereas I cannot​ get it me! In settings tray, when I tap on "check for updates", the phone return to me "no update avaible", whereas I'm sure that my friend has Android 7.0 with emui 5.0..
I live in France and I received my phone with an international rom, NXT-C900B170, already configured at the unboxing.
Can I have help to get the update please?
Thanks
toXa
C900 most likely means that your phone was crossflashed with an international firmware for the L29 variant of the phone. in this state, u wont be able to receive OTA updates, so ull either have to flash an original AL10 firmware or change your regional cust to an L29 variant.

Thx for your reply
Okay thanks... And how can I change the cust to L29 directly or AL10 (and then flash an european rom after)? Whitch is the better method?
Sent from my HUAWEI NEXT using XDA Labs
I tried to flash an AL10 firmware, the last released, via Firmware Finder, but when I try to flash it, the phone returns that the package is uncompatible.. I suppose that the last chance is to change the cust?
Sent from my HUAWEI NEXT using XDA Labs
for changing cust, u can use the so called SRK tool, you can find it in one of the mate 8 sub sections
Okay thanks
I will try it soon, I keep you informed

Hi,
I just have finished to unlock the bootloader and I have a question.. will I receive OTA updates if I flash L29 rom?
Where can I find a L29 rom? Can firmware finder do the job?
Hello friend toXaGeek

Thank you very much for your help.
Greetings.

Im in the same dish as you boss, can i install a nougat global firmware on a NXT-L29C900B156 ?

Mate 9 C675 (India) Full OTA MF

Hi Guys
Can someone help me with the C675 (India) FullOTA-MF download link for Mate 9??
Searched here http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=MHA-L29&firmware_page=0
But this has only OTA-MF for the C675
I need to enable VoLTE in India. Tried with C567(US) version but still not getting the enable VoLTE option
Any success? I was also looking to enable the Volte option in INdia.
If it's not there it doesn't exist yet. I'd probably rebrand to c636 seeing your models update history... I mean, 2 updates since January doesn't look good.
No success. Probably they are not going to release it
I bought it as 185, then moved to 636 and then to 567 in search for VOLTE. No success in either of them..

Help after downgrade FRD-L09

Hello kind people of XDA,
I recently acquired an Honor 8 L09 64gb variant, after downgrading it from N to MM following this guide my model number has changed from FRD-L09 to FRD and my build number is FRD-C675B140.
I am wondering what this means in terms of upgrades etc. Has my phone been rebranded or is it still an L09 just not showing as that in the settings.
Is it possible to upgrade it back to N, if it is how would I go about doing that? If it helps, the phone rooted with Magisk.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I used the EU rollback L09 is the EU version, isn't it? Would I still look for L09 in Firmware Finder?

Rebranded to C636 and OREO

I have rebrande my mate 9 ,mha-l29c185 to c636 and enrolled into Oreo beta program but i am getting a message "your phone cannot participate in any projects" while other c636 brands are getting Oreo Beta today, what went wrong with me. Screenshots are attached
Try a SIM for that region
I am in Pakistan and the region which is receiving Oreo is Malaysia ?
I didn't know there were C636 users eligible for the Oreo Beta. I thought it was only for C432 users.
