AL00C00B213 Now available for Chinese version of Mate 9 - Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Unlimited downloads now available for B213. It was restricted to first 2000 at one point. Just go to HiCare and then press update. Then follow directions. 751mb. Mostly security related update. Improves google app security. The only thing different I noticed in re user interface is that, when in recents page, the delete all running apps button no longer flickers when transitioning. A slight improvement as it was a little annoying to see the flicker. Maybe just my device...

are you rooted or using GMSapp for gapps? I got the OTA update lastnight (2.41 gb) and after installing it I had to reinstall all google apps which is an annoying thing to do for every major update

Meanwhile in the Netherlands, still waiting on 182...

Sorry it is not quite working out right for you. When I first got phone I downloaded the GMS app (from hiApp I believe) One thing I did notice, that I did not mention, is that Playstore crashed the first time I opened it after this update but then I tried it again and it worked fine. I have never had to reinstall google apps with any updates. I'm still not rooted which is unusual for me. I've decided to more or less ride out this device and not root unless, Xposed for Nougat comes out. I will probably part with it once the Note 8 comes out.

Mate 9 Pro just updated OTA to AL00C00B213 (741MB). Play store, Gmail, contacts & sync work fine afterwards. I only ran GMSinstaller once when I first got the phone. I expected to have to rerun and reinstall google stuff after each update but happily that hasn't been the case for me.
It's always applied Quick Update so maybe that's why?
I have not deleted HiCare & other Huawei apps & never registered a Huawei ID.
is it recommended registering HuaweiID?

dont think is needed or recommended but there is some options there that may be useful for end users, in my case I had always to reinstall and rerun GMS app probably because I always do the full install 1.5+ gb

battery consumption
Anybody noticing a greater power consumption from this latest update I no longer get the 2 day of moderate use out of a fully charged phone need to do it 24 hours now? hope they develop a fix quickly even sticking it in ultra battery mode seems to drain quicker than it did before.
Also when I check to see battery consumption, WLAN always seems to be on even when I'm not using it as their is always a blue line underneath?

January 2, 2017 Software Update

This morning, my Note received a rather large software update that installed without many problems. Most likely certain security updates, but I was surprised to receive it as we are not really "accustomed" to any attention from Samsung for this tablet. Any further comments from anybody else?
I got the same.

Sorry for the misspelling. I meant to say "without any problems" not "without many problems". In fact, the whole update process was smooth and fast. Everything works fine. I understand, however, that everyone's setup is different and my experience should not be the absolute rule.
Nothing here on my device. Although it might be because I'm in Sweden.
Did anyone see any changes? I dont see/feel anything other than the version number change even the security patch level date remained the same. Is there a changelog somewhere

My tablet updated and now the OS boots super slow and then does a soft shutdown and reboots a second time. It takes more than 60 secs to get to the home screen. Anyone know how to uninstall this update?

I've seen this post for a few days but not had time to respond till now.
I've got an SM-P605v. Haven't seen, or been able to download the update you've mentioned. This may be because I don't use Verizon as my connectivity partner, or it may be that my particular tablet's OS doesn't need the security updates that yours did.

I also have a SM-P605V but have Verizon as my carrier. I got the notification to update today. I don't see anything on VZW site about it nor under the specific SKU on SamMobile (still has 10/15/15 as the last official update). When looking at the SM-P605 model, there are some in the list (even today's date), though they are for non-USA countries.
Even so, it looks like they are still all Android 5.1.1, so it's likely just some minor tweaks. To my understanding, you would need to pop in an activated Verizon SIM to get the update for your specific tablet, as Verizon is the one that issues it. You can also wait until it's posted on SamMobile and manually do it. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/

Software Version: LMY47X.P605VVRSDPL1
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android™ security patch on your device.

You should be able to flash this now that Sammobile posted it... https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/
I got this a couple of days ago - managed to odin flash after I put the wrong file and got the boot loader triangle a day before.
Its extremely stable and the tablets working like a dream - the only issue is no root.
Edit: I noticed a great improvement in battery management and it will charge to 100% from 30% in 4 hours before I flashed the 5.1.1 rom it took nearly 8 hours with a new(second hand) USB Flex connector and nearly 20 hours with the old usb flex connector to go from 30% to 100%.
I really like this tablet - it reminds me so much of my SM-N910F note 4.
You can root the latest firmware and also install twrp. I have a 600.

Probably just a security update
Please excuse my silly question but I have P600 with 5.1.1 and never rooted. Do I need to install twrp before I update or it doesn't matter? Updates always make me uneasy with locking bootloader or needing new root methods.
If you just want to update then flash with Odin and the appropriate file. Try looking at sammobile.com for the appropriate rom file.
If you want root then you will need to install a custom recovery using CF auto or Twerp - the latter will NOT work on the SM-605v version as the bootloader is locked and will result in the yellow triangle and stating that the tablet has a strange recovery and that you should see a verizon technician. By installing the recovery you can then update the system or even try out new roms created by the people of this wonderful community.
Rooting will potentially stop business application with built in security from working - i.e. HSBC application, Virgin Media app and Sky Movies apps will not work on rooted phones to name a few.
I updated and rooted and everything is working ok. I had trouble with 64gb Sandisk microsd with "sd card unexpectedly removed" error. Then it mount itself back. Sometime it shows empty and asks to format and sometime it works. Also the lockscreen flicker and that usually when the card error happened. I suspect they are related and it happens only when waking up the device. The card works fine with all my other devices including my note 4 on stock 5.1.1. I'm not sure what caused it because I just used this sd card with the note 10.1 and then updated and rooted all in the same day.
Anyway, I removed the Sandisk and now I'm using 32gb Samsung and it only happened once for maybe 12 hours (could have been 100 times with Sandisk). Also, I don't notice the lockscreen flickering anymore. I will see if this problem comes back or it just that Sandisk doesn't play well my note. I have seen many people here reported similar problem with other Samsung devices for too many reasons. I don't believe file format is the issue but I'm using exFAT.

AT&T Nougat is here

Just checked and there is a 1588 MB update. Should be Nougat!! The download is S L O W!

Running smooth as silk on mineso far. Update and install took about 30-40 min total. I'm running the T-Mobile FW on it as well. Seems really snappy so far and just started playing around about 10 minutes ago. Dig it a lot so far! No bugs so far but of course it's the T-Mo update as well so we'll see

Anyone know if you need to uninstall Good Lock to install or run Nougat? I'm assuming it hasn't been updated to work with it.
Grr... Yet another update that failed to complete. Reset device having it download again. Doesn't matter now whether Good Lock needed to get uninstalled since it went away anyway.
Arghh... three failed installs; have wiped phone with apps restoring and then wiped and skipped everything; tried another wipe including wipe cache and it stopped at 31% under the death star logo.
Anyone have an Odin version of this? Guessing this is going to be the only way this is going to work for me.

Yes only Chinese firmwares.
With all these updates there was never once with any fix for the notification issues. I got a feeling this is not in the software team's agenda. With my usage, I got notifications quite regularly with the native email app and the Google news update notifications quite regularly if check on these app every now and then. However if I happened to leave for a while,then it will kind of go into deep sleep and completely shut off. This can be a plus or minus, cause it can save the battery quite considerably, depend on how one looks at it. Probably with my usage pattern I can live with it.
Installed it last night. Thanks for the changelog, I couldn't read it, because it was in Chinese. I haven't noticed any difference either. Most Chinese users will only be interested in QQ and WeChat notifications, which seem to work fine

Did you checked with wifi and 4g?
Did you tried hicare with China region?
Did you tried the 3 dots in system update to download latest full package?
If you tried all this maybe a factory reset can get you the update,but don't blame me if you didn't find the update.

So maybe try factory reset, I know it's weird but i usually get updates after a factory reset.
Maybe because my apn settings will be the default one,not sure.
You can also update manually with firmware finder application from playstore.

man factory reset is something I have done in a while and not sure if it will delete my data or settings and since I'm not rooted installing and configuring everything again will be painful,
I downloaded just now and I can see the update in the list but it appears with 0.0 MB in both options listed.

Sorry no idea,but as far as i know Chinese firmwares are easy and fast to get, not sure why ur not so lucky,and yes factory reset will wipe ur data and settings.
If you decide to do a factory reset, try reset settings first maybe you got luck there.

Once you get the notification for system update on your phone, it will automatically be available on Hisuite.
Make sure to back up user data before flashing any update as you may need to manually perform a factory reset before using the new update. I own an FRD-L14 US version and i am on the latest update for my model thanks to Huawei Pc suite. All other methods always fail after 5 - 10%.
To update using Hisuite, simply launch the PC software and click on update after properly connecting your phone. I have been referring to only the PC version as i can't vouch for the phone software.
NB: Don't forget to flash stock boot and recovery if you've modified your device prior to using Hisuite otherwise it'll fail after reboot to recovery.
Best of luck, Cheers!

thanks for awesome guide i will definetly try this:good::highfive:
You will get the OTA some weeks later. Until then, you will not be able to flash the update through any official means (like using HiSuite, TWRP, erecovery, etc.). If your bootloader is unlocked, try my "Flashing unapproved Firmwares" guide for Honor 8 in Guides section. It will work flawlessly.
Did anyone already successfully manage to install e.g FRD-L19C432B399 ?
I tried dload, Red_lotus and flashing with FRD_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img
Yet it always tells me "installation failed" Is there anything i can do to get it work?
I am coming from B398 and need this battery optimization update or I will sell my phone..

flash the both recoveries again and retry, it resolved the issue for me.

i took the day to reply because i wanted to play it safe before i tell you how battery life is.
i've been getting 12+ hour battery life on my usual days, if i'm out and about doing things i last 10ish hours.
the update seems to be a little better on the battery side, but november patches are nice as well.

Nice to hear about it. For 12h you mean global usage or screen time? Anyway I sent my phone for battery replacement. We'll see when it comes back

sorry about the late reply, but yes 12hr battery global. for screen on time i get 4-5hrs usually, i just got this phone a few months ago as a FRD-L04. i rebranded because of how slow updates come out on the L04, which was my real only complaint with this phone. battery life is awesome and emui is sleek and nice compared to other OEM android roms.
i don't really care for much about SOT because my whole goal is to minimize that as much as possible. i use a moto 360 daily so most of my notifications are going to my watch and my phone stays in my pocket.
other than that, this update is just a security patch.

Oreo in MHA-AL00

Does anybody now if an update is available for Chinese Mate 9? something showed up today in my HiCare app about EMUI 8 but cant downloaded because quota has been reached.
I also want to know how to bypass this quota fill problem

You can not bypass it but there is another way to get the update. Check when they reset the quota. First come, first served.
/EDIT
No there is not. I have been checking every 30 minutesbecause i had night shift and my wife during the day. Nothing has been reset, always 0/20000.
Its a fake
Oreo updates

Have you checked firmware finder to see if you could just download or install it through there? That might be a possibility

Have you checked firmware finder to see if you could just download or install it through there? That might be a possibility, I saw MHA-AL00 8.0.0.334 (C00) there so that might be the official update, if you check firmware access and it says approved for installation then it's the official update.

Yes i did, using MHA-AL00 and MHA-AL00C00 and none of them work. I can download the files but when i chec firmware access it says "not approved for installation". I wrote to the chinese support because of the HICare where you can see the quote of 20.000 but its always 0/20.000 i have tried every hour, hoping it will be reset and the quote will return to 20.000/20000 but nothing. Its a fake in my eyes. I guess they want to wait a few weeks/month before they release Oreo for the Mate 9 because to be honest, if Oreao would be available already for the Mate 9, there is no reason to buy the Mate 10, specially for those who have the MHA.AL00.

Can i download the files, unlock the bootloader , install TWRP and then the files, and after finished the installation lock the bootloader again to get rid of the warning every time i boot

How it comes your MHA-AL00 has only 64GB Memory and 4GB RAM?
/EDIT
Went great. My phone is now on Oreao but some gogle services do not work as gmail.

You'll have to install using HWOTA. Just flashing in TWRP won't do anything.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Bootloader will lock when you've finished installing, so no need to relock manually.
guess quota was reset, downloading it now
Can not add my google account or any account. sucks
/EDIT
OK managed it. Nice
It shows quota full for me. I have a L29 rebranded to AL00. How's the update situation for you guys.
finished update without any issues, kinda love it already but will give it couple of days to check performance and battery life, not sure if rebranded will take OTA updates

I just had minor issues with gogle but as usual, when i bought it there was not a single gogle app installed. But now everything works. Whats not so nice is that the yellow pages are the chinese ones, food delivery the same etc. The food will be cold until i have it in my hands
So youu guys got the updte through the quota system, not the system update way?

That's right, using Hi Care, couldn't be easier. I was a little upset because the context menu did not work but it was just because it had been reset to the default launcher. I use NOVA because i love to touch any app and a menu opens offering me: uninstall, remove, setup etc. That was the mayor reason to change to Nougat because i really loved Marshmallow. But now everything works fine, Gmail etc. I am happy. My wife is upset because she has the Samsung S8 and they will not release an update to OREO until it comes with the S9. I would never again buy me a Samsung mobile.
My google Play store did not work anymore, uninstall the one you have and use this one
