I'm currently running on lineage os 15.1,the room is great but it's draining battery as hell,and sound is not that great! If you install last update is the room support gacm? Natively ? thanks ,and sorry for my bad English
no
Maybe? It have stock cam,that is very good.But you should try it
someone on a different forum tried the gcam port and tried to use it on b04. they reported back it did not work. so it's not enabled to work natively. flashing @raystef66's .zip could work but I don't know if the system partition is writeable. I asked in the main B04 thread we have now and nobody answered so far.
I'm so confused about the bootsector updates, b04, b11, if BO4 is the newest why are there later numbers released before b11, b20? Are those just for different countries?
Is the B04 only been released for the 2017g and not the 2017u model yet? only for germany and not for the US yet?

They are from different countries and use other version numbers. Oreo B04 is the latest for the A2017G which is the European version of the phone.
A2017U is the US version and Oreo B20 is the latest for that one. That doesn't mean the US version is the newest just because it has a higher number. As i said, they europe and US use different numbers naming them.

I see the firmware OTA has been released for A2017G, I'm in the UK and not ever received it, am I going to have to get it from ZTE DE again?

May I ask you whether this australian version work without any issue on any A2017G? if that's the case, can I flash it from marshmallow B08 or do I need to go another route? (like M B10 then N B01 then B02 then B04?).
I am in a similar situation where I'm still stuck on Marshmallow B08 updated through OTA last december and I have been waiting for another OTA since then to no avail (didn't receive B10 or B11)...
Also this australian version seems odd to me, as I understood it the A2017G ROM is developped by ZTE germany, why is this firstly available full image particularly dedicated to australia? that's why I wonder whether there is something special about it. Otherwise I'm not sure whether ZTE germany stated they would be releasing the full image for B04 or if it's only through OTA (which I may never get)
Thank you!

That link isn't the full package Aus update. It's the German FOTA update to B04.
To my knowledge, Aus version works without issue. The only question mark recently was whether it would work with the A2017G sold in Japan, and it apparently worked perfectly fine.
Official instructions on Aus support page are to upgrade to MM B10 as the bare minimum, so I'd recommend that.
You are struck on B08 because your country's development team has not released anything newer, much like most other country specific A2017G dev teams. That also is why Aus released the full update file, as they're jumping straight from B10. Mind you, the G more likely stands for Global than Germany ?.

You can force it via recovery. If you decide to wait, lemme know when you one day receive the OTA!
I don't know why I called this post B02, when it's B04 I want. Has anyone one else successfully downloaded and upgraded by putting on the SD card, and if so do you have the link? This is for the UK model by the way, I guess the European is the same all round?

Yes.
...force the update via recovery. Might need to enable oem unlocking too in developer settings.
Thanks for the confirmation, is the only link we have at the beginning of this thread?
Mike
You can always use the full B04 zip (2GB+) if you aren't able to get the fota update file to work.
That file can be found in the other link I posted in this thread.
Hey, can anyone provide and confirm which version of the stock firmware fits EU devices best? I bought used device with custom rom on it, and I'm curious which version should be base for my EU (german) device to get legit OTAs and security updates for my region? I'm a bit confused, because I couldn't find any proper adnotation for each firmware out there.
In other words, which stock rom versions will be suitable for European retEU XT1685 Moto G5 Plus? I don't want to mess something up if some stock firmwares are not meant to be flashed on EU device.
Please cleanse my concerns.
Cheers!
Mine is running NPNS25.137-33-5 also on reteu

I see, so you started from flat NPNS25.137-33? How about the -67 version on EU devices, as it fixes some issues ie with camera recording?
Thats only on retin, this is the latest on reteu.
Hmm I installed myself -35 version before, in settings i had retEU, but couldn't get any ota updates and was on january securities.

Hi Guys
Just picked my new Huawei mate 9. So far so good..
But i have an issue with updates. My version is MHA-L09C316B150. Im checking for updates but the update system says i have the latest version.. I checked on this thread that the oreo update is out. Will i be able to update my phone to the MHA-L09 version listed here?
Also can someone explain what the C316 is? I see there is C33, C632 etc
Just to add, my device has the last security update from Jan 2017.. Wtf.. Why has no further updates been done..
Value after C in build number is region/localization.
List of known regions is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/regions-mate-9-region-codes-t3555086
But I didn't find C316.
Where are you from? Is your phone selling in stores or you got it from mobile operator by contract?
You can see available stock ROMs for your phone in Firmware Finder. Enter model MHA-L09C316 in search.
I did it, but FF did not find anything about your region. There are two options: stock ROMs for C316 are existing, but FF does not know where are they. Or Huawei did not post them to HiCloud.
If I have had phone with rare region, I will rebrand it to more popular region. It is too hard process for newbie. You have to read about unlock bootloader, TWRP, patched recovery, different models and regions. But staying on region C316 you may not receive any update even. By my experience, Huawei updates popular regions and does not care operator's versions.
As alternative you can ask provider (if phone by contract), write to Huawei or wait for update.
@ 5[Strogino] Thanks for feedback
Im from South Africa and yes the phone is on contract. Network is Vodacom which is part of Vodafone.. I dont understand why this stupid network didnt issue the international region as most phones come with European software installed or even middle east areas. I agree with you, i will have to rebrand my device. I have done flashing on samsung and LG phones but this is my first Huawei.. will read up on some posts and attempt.
was trying to update with Huawei updater 2.0 and hisuite, no luck.. gives me no internet connection error.. tried editing hosts file too but no luck
Finally managed to to install Android 8 and rebrand my device to europe firmware.. testing now.

It's an official beta, but still a beta.
Oreo for Mate 9 should arrive in December or January for everyone.
Right now you can only install beta by applying in Huaweis beta app, or cheat and use Hwota as you did
It's a very stable beta.

You're still not telling another thing. Are you referring to MiFavor 5.2 B13 and MiFavor 4 (or 4.2) B16? In that case the newest is B13 since it has been released after B16. Just like Marshmallow and Nougat, on the G they went from B1 all the way to B11, then N came out and they started from B1 again. They did the same with mifavor5.2 even if it was the same android version

I see. I thought numbering is irrespective of Android Version. I am on Noughat n A2017. So you are saying B16 is latest. Actually why I am asking is, I heard that Numbering is decreasing for one model and increasing for another as updates are coming on.

No, you got it wrong. MiFavor 5.2 is the latest, aka B13.

I am currently on a 7.1.2 custom rom and want to flash stock Oreo but when I look at the official download list, there seems to be dozens of different variants for AMZ, RETAIL, RETEU etc and I have no idea where to start.
I have an XT1685 (with the NFC chip) and live in Australia, but will be travelling around Russia and Europe for the next 12 months - Can anyone recommend which firmware I should use?

You should use the one you were coming from.
Regarding Oreo stock there are basically just two different firmwares, the ones ending on 85-13-x are for almost all regions, ending on 85-17-x are for the US.
So in your case I would think the latest firmware for non US should be the correct choice, that's 85-13-5:

This will take you up to the December security patch.
