You bought the best tablet offered by Huawei at this moment.
Congrats on your new purchase.
You are in the right place. Ask anything, Share anything you like.
Many nice people on this site.
Whenever you have any issue with your tablet, please mention the full firmware version, tablet model. It will be easy for others to help you and answer your questions.
I have BTV-DL09 (LTE version , European ROM). My firmware is BTV-DL09C100B301. I just posted this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72048190&postcount=8 in another thread. You can have a look at the screenshots of Android nougat on my tablet.
Enjoy & you will have more fun when you update to Nougat.(whenever you are ready)
Stock ROM is very stable on this tablet.
Don't forget to click on :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Thanks
Day 2 with the mediapad 3 and I am still having fun.
I am not sure what you mean by "full firmware version". I have Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) + Huawei Emotion UI 4.1. Is that what you mean? What benefit is there in updating to Nougat. I am a person who gets set in his way. I fought windows 10 as long as I could.

When I said full firmware version, I meant this -> BTV-DL09C100B301 (my firmware version)
BTV-DL09 is LTE version (supports sim) , BTV-W09 (WIFI only version) So full firmware version prevents ambiguity and unnecessary problems. The reason I told you is because there is BTV-DL09C233BXX and there is one more version which I don't remember at this moment. Each one is different because it specifies region. So if you have C100BXX and if you flash C233BXX on top of that. Then it might cause problems. So when you provide full firmware version, it makes it easier for others to help. Besides C233 has rooted version firmware available. So to know if you are one of those lucky people too you need to give full firmware version. To find full firmware version you check in Settings -> About .
Benefits of Nougat? It is beautiful, faster, smoother, even better battery life. I have posted screenshots of my tablet running nougat, that can give you a better idea. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72048190&postcount=8 By the way Windows 10 v1703 Creators update is really good! Fast boot speed, games are smooth, performance is really good. Edge is really good too. Cortana is soothing & enjoyable as always. I like it and totally recommend everyone who haven't used it. Both Nougat on Huawei Mediapad M3 & Windows 10 creators update too.
Hope you find this information useful.
Lot of effort goes in to typing my posts. Please don't forget to click on :good::good::good::good::good:::good::good::good::good: in my posts.

Thanks again
When I checked settings I find "Build number BTV-W09C128B003 " Is that also the "firmware version"?
How do I upgrade to Nougat? Seriously, could I run into problems doing this? With windows especially I kept hearing people complain of problems with upgrades. Things seem to be running well now and this is already the fastest tablet I have ever had by far!!!!! By the way I have Windows 10 now because older computer died and I had to get a new one with 10. Kind of like it.

Android Oreo

Do you think we'll receive the update?
Sorry, but someone must start the discussion :silly:

50% yes, 50% no

If Honor do want lie, yes Honor 8 must receive Oreo. XDA wrote some devices receive Oreo before end this year, probably only flagships, after will continuing with another phones. We will see how much is useful/helpful Treble project

If Huawei Nova or even old P9 lite got EMUI 5, Im sure Honor 8 will receive EMUI 6.
Ps Honor 8 should have EMUI 5 on start, we waited short for Android 7. For Example Huawei P8 still receives updates (security patches etc).

Rommco05 said:
P9 lite receive Nougat and EMUI5 (I'm was on beta testing) I think Honor 8 receive Oreo. Btw I have old p8lite and this phone receive every month security update... What is awesome, but Honor is a bit slower

Its that what I said maybe my english is not clear.
Huawei support his phones anyway. We'll see soon, I hope H8 will receive Oreo

As you can look by screenshots, different sites have differents toughts about Honor 8 "Android Oreo" update. The German site says it is in list for a possible update, the other it isn't in that list (but they are not sure because they marked the phone as controversial) . Now nothing is official but we have to wait (or push) Honor to take a decision anout the future of this great phone. We have to understand if "two years update" means "two major updates at least" or just "we will push security updates and won't abandon H8".

I am certain we will get it, but I am also certain it will take ages to release. May be wrong on both my opinions though.

i created a thread earlier https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/andorid-o-honor-8-honor-8-pro-honor-9-t3633124
the chances are very less to get OREO

I believe the most important question is not whether we will receive EMUI 6.0 (which is a possibility according to some sites: https://newsnexa.com/tech/huawei-android-8-0-update-emui-6-rom/ ) but whether EMUI 6.0 will implement Project Treble:
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/here-comes-treble-modular-base-for.html
Essentially Project Treble (which will be enabled on phones shipping with Oreo) will allow the "Windows Update for Android", receiving security (and possibly other) updates via Google and not via the manufacturer. Or at least allow Huawei to implement said updates faster. Without it, Android 8.0/EMUI 6.0 will be the last useful "official" upgrade for our phone.
In any case, I won't hold my breath..

Here's the information from the Chinese forums
https://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=14397&pictureid=56089
https://forum.xda-developers.com/album.php?albumid=14397&pictureid=56090
As far as it's true, I do not presume to affirm, but judging by the screen and the crooked translation, there is hope to get an update to EMUI 6.0 based on android 8.0 at the beginning of 18.

I think it isn't true...first the "oreo" logo present here replaced the "EMUI" logo that should be there. This can be easily changed by "Emui theme editor" with or without root. Second, the other info could be faked by any root user through build.prop editor. I think it is a theme applied to nougat with some build.prop info changed

Emui 5.0 update

Have you guys seen this post on their official FB page? I want to try it myself but I'm on lineage rn.

I can't see it's for p8 anywhere. What makes you think it will work?

oh man, i almost got heart attack, how did you find out its gonna be for P8? it was stated for serveral times that P8 hardware is not compatible with API of Android 7, why are people still looking for it? just accept the fact people! Cheers!

In thought it's just for skin EMUI and not the Android version. All is well though, thanks for clarifying ppl.

You clearly don't understand that when we get emui 8 it's going to be Android Oreo. Otherwise we would still be on emui 5.0.1 just with emui 8 stuff ported over. smh come on please understand

Actually the fact that we will get emui 8 is confirmed by Honor once again and this time there is a thread in xda. Note that Huawei could well make a special version of emui 8 that runs on nougat. Xiaomi has been doing this with their phones as well

You can't base off of another phone company SMH. Honor has never does that and I highly doubt they ever will. Don't base what another company is doing to try to justify what u say, when again honor has never does that.

Someone still doesn't understand that EMUI 8.0 COULD run without Android 8.0. Beside the fact that usually Huawei/Honor doesn't give their devices an emui update without os update, this time has been said a lot of times that Honor 8 will get EMUI 8.0 features PORTED. Now, with that news we're still unsure if will update to EMUI 8. 0(optimized for nougat) or EMUI 8.0 + Android 8.0 (wich i'm hoping to)

I would much rather have emui 8 using nougat without bugs than one using oreo with a ton of them though. I am however currently at a custom ROM and I will change back only if it has oreo.

sigh....... it seems that @damenbm is a true believer and wont even consider that honor/huawei might screw over its customers. regardless of treblized Oreo release..... some great devs will more than like hack together a treble rom for this phone. till then, lets just wait.

I know I know I understand what your saying, but honor has never done that so it's highly highly unlikely, and highly likely that they just bring us oero.

You still don't understand that it's not emui 8 if they don't bring Oreo. There just bringing some features over that's not emui 8. That is something completely different. Smh

In fact i wrote it "EMUI 8 Feature Ported" wich means not new emui itself. However, the image clearly let us understand that the new skin will come. Now if it is with or withou Oreo only God knows.

As useful as discussing the angel's sex. Can be a port to Nougat or a full fledged update (Skin+OS). Speculation won't change that: as consumers we're either scammed or supported.

Harmony OS 2022 for Mate 9. ;)

Harmony OS 2022 for Mate 9.

Breaking: Huawei P20, P20 Pro, Mate 9 HarmonyOS 2.0 rollout confirmed - HU
The Huawei Mate 9 Series, Huawei P20, Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei Mate 10 Series will also get HarmonyOS 2.0 software updates. Isn't it surprising?
www.huaweiupdate.com

Dead group zommbie group

Hi! I received today the HarmonyOS update in my MHA AL00
I have google play, I don't want to lose it. I don't know if install the update or not

Finally have HarmonyOS running on rebranded MHA-AL00 (rebranded from MHA-L29 C567). I am using it as a daily driver now and see what the experience will be like. I also installed Google Play Store. In the meantime, if anyone has any questions, I can try to answer. I suspect underneath, it might still be 9.1. EMUI based. For instance, there is still no dark mode in the settings.

how to rebrand mate 9 MHA-L29 with android 9 to chinese rom MHA-AL00
Does it still work on Android 9? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-update-package-and-downgrade-nougat.3699522/

how did you rebrand MHA-AL00

Sorry to hijack the thread, but this isn't a common device now and I'm needing help.
I switched to my Mate 9 from my OnePlus 6t for a weekend of concert recording and set a new passcode just in case I dropped it. When I got home, I put it in the drawer and switched back to my OnePlus. I intended to pull the content off but forgot to plug it in so it could charge - it died in the drawer and requires a passcode to unlock. The few weeks after I set the random code, I couldn't remember it, and I've been trying to pluck away at it, but the time limitation makes it an issue.
Is there any way to remove the passcode? If I flash TWRP and a ROM, will it remove the startup lock? I don't want to just factory reset as I will lose all of my data.

I paid a guy $15 for this. Google "Ministry Of Solutions". There are many instructions on this forum, but I tried a couple without success. Probably messed up a step or two somewhere. I had original US version (MHA-L29 C432), then rebranded to EU version (MHA-L29 C567) - I did this conversion myself, and now on to (MHA-AL00) China version with HarmonyOS 2. Runs as daily driver fine and speedy. kind of like the new UI and grouping of icons. I think underlying it's still Android 9.1
