[UPDATE] Dec 7th:

Update steps gathered from the forum:
1. Download the B562 files.
2. Downgrade back to B368 or prior versions so you can request an OTA.
3. Let OTA download but don't install.
4. Find "HwOUC" folder on internal SD card and replace the "update.zip" and "update_data_full_all_cn.zip" with the two from B562.
5. Back to the OTA screen and let it install.

Great news, hope the dream comes true! It looks astonishing so might be great !

This will be a hard decision for us Mate 8 users... CM 13 by @_skypol0 or EMUI 5.0?

I'm watching a video that describes the features of EMUI 5.0, a large amount of them are already in CM-13.
Depends on person's tastes The most important is to have the choice IMO.
CM-14 for the Mate 8 is also in my furture plans. Just need to wait for Huawei.

That's good news. Now we are waiting for root!!!

When you said the 7th, is that the 7th of December?
Also, does it say if this release is international? I was looking at the thread but google translate doesn't say anything understandable....

7th of December. I believe only AL10 is on B552, and if this is a limited release it will first be pushed to those 10500 users who have officially registered for the B552. But I mean once the update is in the wild it's only a matter of time till someone releases the update file. Fingers crossed

I was thinking it would be an OTA update? Honestly EMUI is the best OS I have used on Android and it would be great to have an update.

I have an AL10, and OTAs are slow to push for my device.

I have been using dload method since EMUI 4.1 because I couldn't wait for the push.
Do you still have the "HiCare" app? Go to the "update" section and you can sort of register your device to receive update. Sometimes it will pull the update right away.

So...does it mean, without thinking that the full update will be flashable on a NON ROOTED Mate 8, as mine, with "classical" Dload method ???? That would be great, but I don't want to launch on this unsecure process without being sure...So I will wait a little bit more...

So has anyone flashed it yet?

Unable to debrand Huawei Nova

Hi everybody,
this is my first post so please forgive any "incorrect habit" might come out of this post.
My situation is the following: I bought a Huawei Nova smartphone about a week ago. It comes with Vodafone brand and the complete build model is CAN-L01C02B130CUSTC02D014.
I read lots of forum posts and blogs over the web and what I learned is that:
- L01 means single sim;
- C02 means that is branded Vodafone;
- B130 is the firmware version;
- CUSTC02D014 is the custom build with the debug version.
I want to debrand my smartphone (without unlocking or rooting it, if possible) so I downloaded FirmwareFinder and, from there, I fetched every firmware compatible with CAN-L01 following to my build model (made on 2016-09-14). Unfortunately, I was not able to install any of those firmwares (very strange).
Given the above-mentioned information, here are my questions:
1 - is it possible to debrand my smartphone without unlocking and rooting?
2 - is it really possible that every firmware made after mine (on 2016-09-14) failed to install?
3 - how can I pick a compatible firmware?
4 - someone wrote that before installing a more recent firmware, one must debrand by downgrading and then (only then) update the firmware itself. Is it true?
Thank you very much,
Valerio

Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers for more relevant answers.
Good luck

For your case you have to find a full update.app and to flash it via the tree buttons method

Ok so I need tofind a full update, but I am not able to do it on FirmwareFinder...I guess I have to wait for it a little bit...but (knowing that I have CAN-L01C02 build model) do you think I can install a CAN-L01C432 firmware when it comes out?
Thank you for your help.

I think that is better not to install it using the three button method. If you going to do it, at least have a nandroid backup, assuming you unlocked your bootloader and installed the twrp.
One other way to try, requires a unlocked bootloader too, huawei extract tool and then flash system.img and boot.img at least.
I linked the source, but Idk if it is going to work and requeries courage to do this :/
Edit: sadly, wait for the official upgrad is the most safer thing to do right now

I can tell for sure, but from the changelogs I read, it seems it is a test build or something like that. I could open it with dsixda and will try to flash as soon I unlock the bootloader but I'm waiting to get the code.

Thank you so much for the link! I think it should go flawlessly as long as it is compatible with CAN-L01 (and it actually is). The only thing that stops is that it is a test build...maybe I'll wait the official release too.

List of Mate 9 / Mate 9 Pro Latest FIrmwares

Since I spend 12 hours a day working with Huawei firmware, I figured a list may be handy.
Key:
Model and Version
Chinese Model:
MHA-AL00C00B301 (EMUI 5.1, beta)
MHA-AL00C00B203
Meafnaf (Middle East / North Africa) Models
MHA-L29C185B181
LON-L29C185B180
Eu (Europe) Models
MHA-L09C432B182
MHA-L29C432B182
LON-L29C432B185
Spcseas (Asia/Pacific) Models
MHA-L29C636B181
LON-L29C636B182
USA Model
MHA-L29C567B190
Porsche Model
LON-L29C721B185
Generic Model
MHA-L09C900B186
MHA-L29C900B186
LON-L29C900B187
Note: It's not possible to tell how new a firmware is based only on its build number. For example, MHA-L29C567B183 has a very high build number, but it's much older than MHA-L29C636B181

Any chance to include the PD version in this list?
Anyways, it's depressing to see they are developing indeed, but they are struggling so hard at keeping a decent official release pace. I mean, pretty much everything is unauthenticated, or if it is it still takes ages to become available. If it wasn't for Firmware Finder, I'd still be stuck at a 4 months old firmware on my PD, without 10x zoom, all the camera tweaks which were applied later and so on, how can this be possible?!

Ok, added it.
Actually, Huawei is very active with development, but not active with public releases/authentication. Basically, the rollout cycle is:
Build, upload for internal use (usually day after build), upload publicly, release to some devices, release to all devices.
With the Porsche Design Mate 9, they actually had a build 156, but they never ended up uploading it or releasing it publicly, and just jumped to 174, then 180, without publicly releasing them. It is strange, indeed, but the Porsche tends to get updates fast enough, internally, at least. I feel most sorry for the LON-L29C432 users, really, because they seem to get the updates last.

Well,
MHA-L29C567B183 <-- old

Somehow that makes sense. At first, your statement scared me a bit ("wtf are they doing?").
Let's see what comes next. I personally am sick and tired of flashing. Bricked more than one phone (although Samsungs); I'll be waiting quietly here until they release whatever they want to release.

Yes, it's possible. The best branding isn't PD, though. It's probably LON-L29C636 which gets fastest updates.

Of course there are benefits, but it's impossible to know exactly what they are. I know the kernel is newly built and the security patches are more recent. Otherwise, seems to be mainly power management/performance-related, but the changelogs are so vague, so it's up to fate whether or not you feel an actual substantial change. Not many people have tried it at this point.
If you want the files, just use HiSuite to try and install the update. The files will be downloaded to your Documents\HiSuite folder. If you're rooted, it's possible the HiSuite update might fail, but you'll get the files.

Never mind. I thought you were using a service not available to the general public, if that makes any sense. If not, there's no way to install B180, anyway, as it's not on Huawei's public servers, and is not being authenticated by Huawei.

Do you notice any difference with battery drain?

Using Firmware Finder I found newer ROMs than my current 158. What's the difference between FullOTA-MF and OTA-MF? I know one is huge but which do i download to upgrade please?
I am thinking to upgrade to 172 as 180 has no FullOTA file.

And which one is best to download of the three? It's very confusing. I did all this fine on my Mate 8 but now i forget. Thanks.

Firmware Finder will only work on older releases which are signed by Huawei. When a new release is found, Huawei won't be signing it for your device for a few weeks in most cases. You'll have to use a different method if you want to install 180.

It is normal. To install the update you have to bypass authentication checks. You can check my guide about Flashing unapproved firmwares in the Guides forum.

There's a rebranding guide in the guides section, take a look at it

Same here seems like North America has been an after thought.

Use the FullOTA-MF one, simply the larger one.

It seems so

In italy no official OTA update. I'm using FRD-L09 (EU) and i'm still on B389. Hope it wont take ages to receive the OTA. Funny because it comes with August security patches...when probably will already be end of september or even october when the update becomes avaible xD. However i know i can update manually, but i prefer to wait for OTA. Last time i update with twrp i missed some options in "settings" so i want to avoid mistakes and errors
