Okay, but I'm still confused as to what that means, and how it's a supposed variant. More importantly, why do you ask? I've never seen this come up before, so that's why I am so curious.

Here are pictures of it. I bought it from someone on Craigslist and I was unable to find any info on it.

Alright, so does it work? Can you post the bootloader screen if it does? I'm quite curious as to what you have there.

I'm on the latest June patch, and both the bootloader and baseband seem to be older than what you have. I'll have to admit, I'm completely clueless at this point. What software version is the system reporting?

When I got it I had the December patch and it asked to update so I did and then I had the June patch. I opted into the Android P beta so I'm running that currently.

Well, this issue suddenly went above my pay grade, as I don't do betas. Hopefully, someone will be able to give you a solid answer tomorrow. Cheers, bro! Sorry if I wasted your time.

Not a problem, thank you very much for your input!
I'm almost 100% certain that your Pixel 2 is a prototype model that was used for real world testing. A similar model popped up on the 6P forums some time back and had different marks on it's body.

Thanks. Sorry for my English.

I don't know what is new. It says no changelog. It says funkyhuawei reddit page:
<<The unreleased MHA-L29C185B172 build has been added to FunkyHuawei. An accurate changelog has not yet been released, but the expected differences are better touchscreen response, and less power consumption for longer battery life, similar to the Chinese B173 build.
Even if you have another Mate 9 model, you can rebrand to MHA-L29C185 and install the firmware, with FunkyHuawei.>>
But trying one day battery time maybe is improved. Here is screenshots.

So far this is working nice firmware. Battery inside one day before was finish 30% but yesterday was with 75%.
What is everybody result?

Hi guys! How is the performance and battery life of this update B172? Thanks!
hi everyone.
two questions:
1: what is FF? is it another repository for firmwares? any links?
2: also, i don't understand the disapproval regarding fu***wei.. I tried installing TWRP on my Mate 9.. ended up almost bricking it.. (it was stuck in a bootloop and adb showed it as unauthorized.. I didn't know what todo)
I used the fu***wei method and although it was a little cumbersome.. (had to do it at home so I could modify the modem settings etc.)
it actually totally worked.. (took a while but it worked) The guy was super responsive too. (I guess I go thte time zones aligned just right to ask my questions but yeah, he'd respond within minutes of my e-mails..)
(btw, I came to this forum looking exactly for this model MHA-L29C185 I wish there were clearer instructions on how to do these things without paying etc but if there is a resource like this why knock it? i'm seriously curious)

Ok after waiting a few days i now have come to believe that petraru1 is full of s....t. Since bootloaders are still locked there is no way to import anything customized, as far as i know. So i guess there is no way this oreo rom is for real.
I was obviously trolling, forget about updates for this phone, it will never happen.
You can check for updates here http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/ just enter imei or search for your country or model. And i am not trolling now.

Can someone, who had it working before the July update check if maybe this brings back tap-to-wake funcionality, or at least an option for it? (Judging from the larger size, it might.)
