No.
But some users installed with success the 4.4.4 ROM of XT1069 first, and after this 5.0.2 ota... I dont recommend. Better to wait for XT1068 OTA...

Thanks @MelquiXDA!!!
I downloaded it today and installed on my XT1069.
I was with 4.4.4 stock, my cel is the Retail version BR.
I have a problem when the apps was "compiled" after the installation. Shows up a popup with "Android is upgrading... Optimising app 1 of 100", and start to "optimize" the applications.. but with 30 +/-, the screen turns black (iluminated). So after a time i turn off the cell, it reboots and start again, but with "1 of 70"... and then after 25 +/- it turns black again.... Turn off and turn on, went to "1 of 45"... and two more times, until finish all.
After that, boot okay, my applications all there, but after installing i decided to "make a clean install". Made a factory reset and start from scratch.
Thanks a lot brother! :good:
I was impatient with the laziness of Google announcing something on october, and we are almost in Febuary, and nothing? Why announce something that they even didn't finish? Why not announce it on January and be like "We announce Lollipop 5.0, and Nexus will receive it TODAY"?
Just a dream :crying:
It is not working for me (my phone is a retail BR XT1069. I placed the zip in my internal storage folder but when i go to the verify for updates, it still says my software is up to date.
I tried placing the zip also on the android folder in internal storage. Then I tried restarting the phone and now Im gonna try with it on 100% battery

The zip file has to be off any folder. If you have SD card try to put the file in root.

Can i do this even if i already installed the first 5.0 TWRP backup released for the XT1069?
What i mean is, can i install this using that simple method even if i´m already on Lollipop 5.0?
Or do i have to downgrade to 4.4.4 first?
My bootloader is also unlocked, but i´m with stock recovery.
No. Only 4.4.4 to 5.0.2
As many of you probably know, the traditional way to flash firmware in a Huawei phone is to obtain the UPDATE.APP file, and place it in the /dload/ folder of the SD card.
With the Mate 9, this no longer works. The update fails, even if the update package is correct.
I'd like to bring everyone's brains together to figure out the new, correct way to flash an update. My guess is that it should be on the internal storage somewhere, since the Mate 9 Porsche will not have SD card slot. However, I've tried both the update.zip files and the update.app files in / and /dload/ and nothing seems to work.
If anyone can try and make a successful install, it will be a big breakthrough, so please, everyone, try!
Here are some firmware download links to try:
Chinese version
MHA-AL00C00B125 Full
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1356/g77/v66549/f2/full/update.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1356/g77/v66711/f2/full/update.zip
The error I get when flashing makes me think it's down to the file version being used?
I can copy an update.app to the dload folder and using *#*#2846579#*#* and Software update it appears to validate the file, at least that an update.app file exists and then boots into the updater, where it fails at 5%. From memory, my Mate 8 would act the same if I tried to flash an older update.app file?
UPDATE: I can confirm that even with the same firmware version as the phone is on you cannot flash it by putting the update.app in the /dload folder, even though it does look like it finds the file. I'm wondering if we will see the same symptoms if we had a newer than B125 firmware to try.

I have found a way to load firmware. It's very tricky, but it works You need to spoof huawei's servers, so it's not something someone with low technical skills can do, unfortunately. Also, so far, loading older firmwares causes a forced reboot once the system boots up. I think it's to do with Huawei Account or Fingerprint, so hopefully I will resolve this within a few hours and report more.

I think its best to wait for the Euro C432B122 rom, it should come very soon.
I don't have a Mate 9 (yet), but looking through the code it looks as if it should be able to load the UPDATE.APP from a usb device (via an OTG cable) - /usb/dload/UPDATE.APP. Did anyone try that?

Here is a working L29 B122 downloadlink i found on the android-hilfe forum https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/0KFjlD4J but the update failed installation
Aah well, we`ll get he update soon i guess.
Would be awesome to be able to get the european rom to work without any limitations on the chinese phone. I would love to help you guys, but my skills are very limited and hope you guys find a way that's doable for most of us
Huawei didn't pull the build. It's a DNS problem. It's only on their server in China, and isn't on their amazon co-located servers.
Set in your hosts file:
Code:
14.215.9.39 update.hicloud.com
And magically, the link works!
Can't be installed, though. With the Mate 9, I've tried HiSuite USB flashing (fails), flashing from dload folder (fails) and flashing from eRecovery (only thing that's worked.)
I've even unpacked a full rom image to try and reverse engineer how the dload folder works, but all I get is:
Code:
/sdcard/dload/au_temp.cfg
/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP
/sdcard/dload/update_cust.app
/sdcard/dload/update_vendor.app
/data/media/0/dload/update_cust.app
/data/media/0/dload/update_vendor.app
/data/update/dload/UPDATE.APP
/data/update/dload/update_cust.app
/data/update/dload/update_vendor.app
/usb/dload/UPDATE.APP
/usb/dload/update_cust.app
/usb/dload/update_vendor.app
And I've tried most of those locations, and while the update.app is found, it doesn't want to flash. Even though it's willing to flash the exact same stuff in update.zip format via eRecovery.
The only other way is overriding the OTAs, but it actually has a pretty strict security check at the end for approval with some nifty encrypted text, so we're screwed there too.
i would like to know the dload method still work with SD card OR not? anyone with mate 9 got SD card in slot already try this?

The dload method no longer works. The update.app file is recognized but install always fails. HiSuite USB flash also doesn't work. Only confirmed way in is hijacking erecovery.

I wrote about it in this thread. You trick the phone into connecting to a fake query.hicloud.com and direct it to the firmware you want to download.

OK. I got that. But I have the whole update.zip package already downloaded. Is there any way I can flash it?! Sorry if I sound noob but this is my first Huawei Mate and am new to their firmware flashing approach.
Thanks.

If you want a simple explanation, here is how eRecovery works.
1. The phone sends a request to query.hicloud.com on port 80, asking for what firmware it should download.
2. query.hicloud.com sends it information about what firmware it should download, including a URL
3. The phone sends a permission request to download the files to huawei's servers. Then, the phone downloads and parses the URL plus /full/filelist.xml and gets a list of files. If it sees files which match the region of the phone, it recognizes it as a valid update, and begins downloads the files.
4. Before the install starts, the phone contacts query.hisuite.com again to confirm that it's allowed to install. If it receives permission, the phone checks the MD5 of the files it downloaded, then unzips the three files (an update, a public, and a regional file. Three zip files) The phone then tries to install them. If there is an issue (mismatch, not signed, etc.) it spits out an error and fails. If everything passes the test, it installs.
So my method of entry is emulating query.hicloud.com and update.hicloud.com to provide the phone with whatever zip files I want.

Thanks for the explanation @duraaraa! Shall I understand that both query.hisuite.com and update.hicloud.com share the same 14.215.9.39 IP?
I have only seen the IP (14.215.9.39) for update.hicloud.com? Is there a different one for query.hicloud.com? I need to know to be able to correctly modify the /etc/hosts on my router.

The V is not the model number. V as in Version of the ROM.

A2017 is the Chinese model, A2017G is the Global/Europe model, A2017U is the North American model.

Enable Developer Options and toggle on "OEM Unlocking". Even if you aren't going to be unlocking, it apparently needs to be turned on if you want to flash via sdcard.

Thanks xtermmin! I thought I had done that through the "Android devices manager" (my translation of the ZTE French translation) being authorised to lock a device or erase the data... but apparently this is not the solution...
It seems that I cannot find this Developer Options in any menu... and thus cannot toggle the "OEM unlocking"...
I have an option called "self Protection" , would it be it?

Excellent thank you! I was able to go into this mode, and get the authorisation for the upgrade from the SD card.
I have unzipped the B13 package, including the update.zip file as well, at the root level of the SD card, but when I select to upgrade from the SD Card, I am shown the directory of that SD Card, which shows only 2 subdirectories coming from update.zip :Meta-Inf and Cache... the various files coming from update.zip are not visible...
When I select the SD Card directory itself I get "installation aborted".
Would you mind giving me some hint (I brewse through the forum, and nobody explains the process in details...)... I am not a developer but owning a chinese Axon, I suppose that no update will come through OTA... (previously I had a ZTE Blade S6 and had no other choice than to upgrade from the SD Card, and this was much easier than on this Axon 7)
Thanks a lot!

You are right! I am not a developer , and I am not trying to root, just trying to upgrade to B13 from the vendor's site , like I did on my previous ZTE Blade S6... it just appears that it is less simple to upgrade the Axon7 than the Blade S6... knowing that Blade S6 was fully in English while Axon 7 still uses Chinese...
Thanks for your suggestions , I have gone through the forum, but detailed operations are not described...

I suppose this is a developer's password?
No, you just need to wipe data...
ZTE encrypts the system and data partitions, for the Axon 7, on boot but it seems to not follow through when you upgrade the entire rom.
OTA's are fine but complete rom upgrade requires you to go to recovery and wipe data...

Same problem for me : B13 is correcctly installed but boot requires a password to activate Android...
1/ I have requested this password via the vendor on Aliexpress... otherwise will ask ZTE directly
2/ I saw on this forum that someone advises to do a factory recovery, but I suppose this means going back to the previous ZTE release?

Use ZTE market to install gmail, google play store and google play services (you can install others too but these 3 are needed). Search for google installer on ZTE market.
Once these 3 are installed go to apps, Mi-Assisstant and then autorun, make all 3 autorun and you shoulld be good to go. Log into playstore 1st and update everything. When you try to go to gmail it will probably try to upgrade google play sertvices. Let it. If you have issues then keep trying, may take up to an hour , it's just not registered on google yet.

Hi
Just received my phone in Chines version as well, trying to install Google via ZTE Market but no luck.
What exactly you did to install them?
Many thanks!
How do I update my Huawei P8 (GRA-L09 B432B200) to android 6.0 if it's possible?
Thank you

Try with the dialler method, plus make sure the phone is disconnected from your computer before running the update.
Using your dialler, enter *#*#2846579#*#* to access the Project Menu > 4. Software Upgrade > 1. SDcard Upgrade.
Once you're on B370, check for OTA updates via Settings > Update. If nothing offered, you could manually install the latest: [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09 B394 29/03/17
Like before, via the dialler method & after disconnecting from your computer.

Alright, will try now. Another problem is that I'm trying to delete the previous update i tried installing (which is now corrupt) from the DLOAD folder (file called UPDATE.APP) but it won't let me (even tried connecting to pc and deleting but it comes back).. It's taking 2.8gb of the Internal storage and isn't deleting.. How do i get rid of it?
Edit: So I download the update to the DLOAD folder in the SD card and unzip it from there?

That could be a bit of a problem getting rid of. Also, the update process will probably try to install it again (instead of your re-downloaded good copy), which will not work again.

Unzip it on your PC first, then copy Update.app to the SD card/dload folder - by 'SD card' do you mean external SD card?
I don't think this is going to work anyway, unless you can find a way to delete the old Update.app file from the internal storage.

Yep, SD card as external SD card. And alright, I'm going to try to find a way to get rid of the old update.app file.. Going to backup everything (except the update.app) and factory reset to see if I can get rid of it..
So I managed to get rid of the corrupt Update.app and unzipped the new one, but it stopped at 19% again, but this time said it failed and allowed me to reboot (didn't have to hard reset).. Not sure what the problem is?
EDIT: nvm, I tried for a second time and it's fully installed and have EMUI 4.0.1 running.

Hi everyone,
Model number: GRA-UL00
Build number: GRA-UL00C470B192
Country Australia - phone unlocked.
EMUI 3.1
I have just updated to the above firmware via firmware finder.
Is there a firmware that will give me marshmallow - as currently lollipop?
Appreciate any help
Cheers

This firmware is apparently dated 2017.06.07 (in other words, apparently the very latest) - but what date is mentioned in your phone's Settings > About phone > Android security patch level?

Yes, first download & install C470B200 for GRA-UL00 from the Huawei/Australia site: http://consumer.huawei.com/au/support/mobile-phones/p8-au-sup.htm
Direct download link (1.67Gb): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=79564&siteCode=au
Backup your phone - texts, contacts, personal files, photos, music, videos, etc as applicable.
Unzip the downloaded file & copy the resulting single large file (possibly Update.app) to the phone's external microSD card. Disconnect phone from PC, then go to Settings > Update > Update from SD card (or something similar).
This is still only Lollipop, but once on B200 one can usually safely update to Marshmallow directly.
Once the update is complete & you check the phone functions normally, confirm that the end of the build number (in Settings > About phone) now has B200. You should also delete the large update file from the SD card. Check if there are any newer updates via OTA, using Settings > Update > Check for updates.
If there are no new updates found via the above method, check with Firmware Finder. Are there any offered? If yes, it should be a Marshmallow one (if none offered, let us know). Download the latest FULL update file (not the OTA), unzip it to Update.app & copy this to a folder named 'dload' on your external microSD card (if this folder doesn't exist, manually create it). Disconnect phone from PC, then use the phone's dialler to type *#*#2846579#*#* to access the Project Menu. Finally select 4. Software Upgrade > 1. SDCard Upgrade.
From now on, you'll need to use this dload-dialler method to install newer updates.
Wow that is awesome reply, thanks so much, I'll give a shot tomorrow and let you know. Cheers
Hi, the security patch level is 5 may 2017.
I have downloaded the file and put onto sd card. It was the update.app file that was extracted. It was in a folder called dload but just copy pasted the update.app file.
I try to do local update and it cant find it. Says...unable to find update package. Please download the package and copy to your sd card or the /dload directory in your internal storage.
Not sure what to do, i have just over 4gb on phone storage avail, should i do the /dload update?

Yes, if you've already copied it, manually create a folder called d'load on the SD card & cut+paste it into this folder. Then try again.
Restarted phone, tried local update - its doing it now

Cannot find any updates for either of the methods suggested to take it any further towards marshmallow.

Hi, I'm in NZ with a GRA-L09. Your problem I think is you need to debrand your phone to an open market version.
(For the L09 that is C432) I was stuck like you are waiting for local carriers to provide updates but they'd rather sell you a new phone. The guide on here hopefully apples to the UL00 too. Only word of caution would be too check the carrier bands are compatible.
Edit: looks like C185 is open version but I could be wrong, latest is B390.
Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09
thanks wbrambley, I think i will leave like it is. probably sell it soon i reckon. It is open branded, bought outright. Not and never locked to any network.
Cheers for all help guys.

Ok, don't worry, That's why I mentioned in an earlier post, "if none offered, let us know".
What you need to install next is a Marshmallow C636 build (Southern Pacific region) - note that here you are moving from C470, which is not normally recommended. But it'll work fine as the region (SP) is identical (only the Cxxx code changes), & also as confirmed by namaiki in this forum thread (view last couple of posts).
For further confirmation, also view attached screenshot below from the download source.
Delete the B200 update file in the dload folder.
Direct, full download for GRA-UL00 C636B361 (Marshmallow): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91443&siteCode=sg
Here, as it's going to be a 'forced' update, follow the dload-dialler method to install as mentioned in post #2.
Once it completes, check for an OTA update (Settings > Update > Check for update). If nothing, you can proceed to install the latest found by Firmware Finder (FF), which is C636B372 (confirm for yourself in FF).
Delete the B361 update file in the dload folder.
Direct, full download for GRA-UL00 C636B372: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v88000/f1/full/update.zip
Again, use the dload-dialler method to install. After completion, can you confirm the security patch level date - it should be June 2017.
ok, so have done the first update B361 - it actually started upgrade for a while, then said incompatability with customization information. Please download the correct update package - reboot.
So I rebooted, phone was completely wiped (no dramas), and set it up again. Couldn't do australia, so chose usa over english UK.
Now it shows following:
Model Number: GRACE
Build Number: GRA - C900B361
EMUI version EMUII 4.0.1
Android Version 6.0
Android Security patch level Juni 1 2016
I have noticed that right down the bottom of that screen it used to have a custom version (numbers and letters).
It's not there anymore.
Anyways i will try for the next update you mentioned now.
All good - did the update B372. I assume all is ok. model number GRACE
Build Number GRA-C900B372 (why does it not show the UL00?
EMUI 4.0.3
Android Version 6.0
Android security patch level July 1, 2017
Think it all seems good. Any chance of Nougat lol ?? Just kidding.
Cheers for all help, much appreciated. Not sure if anymore to do now, seem fine.

Only other thing is when setting up, no mention of australia. Can only choose English (UK) or English (US). Then amongst the next selections is no australia etc. Any ideas?
Righto - lots of issues now. cant sign into google or anything at all actually. for example, trying to sign into google - just goes in a loop to sign in. cant even get past the next button.
Other stuff crashing. bluetooth doesnt seem to be working.
Should I somehow go back to another version?
Sorry to hear about the issues. Just goes to show that sometimes what works for one doesn't always work for everyone else (this is rare though it would appear).
The changes you see in 'About phone' is because you installed a different Cxxx build.
Revert to the working B361 update by reinstalling it via the dload-dialler method.
So replace the B372 update file with B361 & run the update steps.
If all works well (apart from the visual changes), only attempt OTA updates from now. In other words, don't use FF to find & install updates.
That's ok, it happens. My problem is I can't even get my pc to show the sd card now to put the update file on. All I get is GRACE showing in my pc, and I open that, there is no files. Can't copy paste or anything, or even create new folder, very weird. This is via usb cable.
Trying to find a adapter for the micro sd card.
Any thoughts, sorry to be a pest.

Yeah, sometimes it happens to me as well - try disconnecting & reconnecting. Otherwise the adapter (or cardreader) method should work.
ok, so finally got the file to sd card, and installed via dialler GRA-UL00 C636B361 (Marshmallow). All working good.
still a bit confused as to why it shows in about phone GRA-C900B361 and not the UL00 part.
As android security patch is now 2016, should i go back to GRA-UL00C470B200.
I wanted really to update this phone to sell it, but not sure if it is still same region south pacific/asia etc. Sorry for all the dumb questions, still learning.

It shows the C900 'cause you have flashed a rom with different CUST partition from the original one. This is the reason why you are having those bugs. My advice for you is to extract the CUST image from GRA-UL00C636B361 with HuaweI Update extarctor and flash It in fastboot with the command "fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG".
