Works great. Thanks
MT7-UL00
Hi All,
I have MT7-UL00 - bought in China.
Can i install this version to make my MT European?
I dont think so @mobilekrystian
B121SP05 Firmware works great!
I've updatet Firmware B120SP04 without any problems. Zionio Reader is - as said -lost, Opera Browser will be installed (system-app).

Probably not running. If yes for 09. Can try it, but only if you have a 00.
hello,
is this still 4.4.2 ?
Yes, 4.4.2.
Hi, i don't know why, but i can't apply update.
Always fail, i test it with my 64Gb and a 4Gb Sd card and always fail.
I restore the original recovery but don't seem to work for me (MT-L09)
Is it just me, or does battery life seem even better with this updated firmware?
after the software update I have no way switch between 4g and 3g network.
4g switch disappeared from menu, i can't turn on 4g on after update.
Dose anyone have the same problem?
My phone has 4G as default on, and it is working fine. But if I choose something else like 3G, I don't have a choice to get 4G back. On old firmware I had it as a seperate choice. Luckily, I backed up my phone before I tried this. Just loading old backup. Doesn't really affect me as I never disable 4G, but it is a little strange......
Edit 1:
Restore didn't work. Stuck in bootloop. Will try to figure out a slolution.....
Edit 2:
Managed to get phone on again, and did a factory restore (wiped everything) Started phone up again (like for the first time) and 4G option was back. Now to install my programs again.......
Will the update work on this Firmware: MT7-L09V100R001C00B120SP04 ?
The document inside states that the upgrade is intended for MT7-L09V100R001C00B118SP04 or MT7-L09V100R001C00B121SP05, so not sure if my version can be updated without problems.
I've downloaded old software B120SP04,
and I made an update to the software.
Again have the option to 4G and everything works fine.
4g on and old firmware.

Yes, it works for me.
too bad : I could not install it : "installation aborted" with no further details : not very helpful for debugging !
I'm also having B120 firmware though....
EDIT : finally fine on B120SP04
hello, I have downloaded the roma from flyme.cn but when I click on the file update.zip the phone I always error: file corrupt
I've enabled root permissions.
can anyone help?
-If you bought your phone from a Store whos directly making come their phone from china : you must use ROM A,U or C
-if you bought your phone as an international version (look the version of flyme os if it ends by i, it's the international version)
you can put A,U,C or I version.
-Here you will find International last version :
meizumobiles point fr in the /mises-a-jour/ section. The last international version is 4.2.2.1i
-The message file corrupted means you have the bad version of ROM, follow my advices.
Hello,
I'm a proud user of the le Pro 3. I first had it with the international firmware (modified rom) then i managed to move back to the original OTA rom (18s)..
But now the biggest problem comes, all Letv apps are in Chinese and as i'm curious i would live to explore them, use the phone to its full abilities. So i guessed that they would be some trick to it, like installing X727 rom to X720? Did someone try?
Is there any translated rom or any fix to us international users.
There's no USA from available afaik
So any idea about translating Leeco apps?

Yet to get one myself. When you said managed to move back to the original, was it a tough process? I'm planning to pick one up myself from an online reseller. Thanks in advance
you have to flash using fastboot..
I've been working at this non-stop for the past week, and I've finally found a way. I am not able to flash a European ROM on the Chinese Mate 9.
I came very close to bricking my device, so I'm currently making sure of the method. Here is what it looks like:
http://imgur.com/a/1ONOF
(I am long-pressing the home button to show it's fully google-ized, in both pictures, but I took my hand out of the picture for paranoia purposes)
So, how is it done? Through eRecovery. I will release the full method once I have tested it enough for public consumption, because I don't want people bricking their devices.
How does it work? It's... interesting.
The version showing up on the phone is the last Chinese firmware which was installed. It doesn't update to show what version it is. In the imgur picture, for instance, it says B109SP01, but it's actually B115 running on it. The phone still thinks it's a Chinese phone, so if you try to get an OTA, you'll probably be getting a Chinese OTA which will not work correctly. So in that sense, it's a bastardized version, and OTAs/updates will not work normally -- You'll have to flash them through a different method.
The positive side is, Google works. Completely. It comes installed out of the gate with account sync, and so on. Other than being Google-fied, some other differences include the permissions menu, the keyboard (SwiftKey is default), and a few other things here and there. The default theme looks strange, and I think it has to do with the cust partition not matching the actual model. This is something I'm currently looking into before release. I'm also looking into using version B122 (or newer if it becomes available) instead of 115.
I'm sure many of you want to get your hands on the European firmware and the method to install it. If you're interested in testing despite one-day-old pre-beta status, shoot me a PM, and I'll try to get you hooked up. In the future, because this method will require a lot of data transfer, I'm considering charging some money to people who download it, and setting up a proper server.
Anyway, for now, know that it's possible, and if you want to do it right away, get in touch with me and I'll try to help!
Update: I have now verified that it's possible to go back to the Chinese ROM. I should have something for those who contacted me wanting to test tomorrow. Since this is a LOT of work, priority will be given to those willing to make a donation.
Although I don't have a Chinese M9 I appreciate your efforts as this opens up the way to flashing other stock and maybe even custom ROM's. Well done!

Unfortunately, I think that custom ROMs will not work with this method, because they're not signed by Huawei.
Wow, That's great news.
I really appreciate your efforts.
I think that you can get a little bit of money in return for your efforts.
I would like to participate in this plan.
Please notify me when the procedure is completed.
Thanks again!
So, here's where we are at right now:
We can flash the system partition of a European firmware, no problem. There's seemingly no issue there.
Where we get the issue is when we look at the cust partition. Because we can't change the actual region of the phone from all/cn to hw/eu, for example, the cust partition has issues. What I mean by issues is, you don't get any of the default themes, various software might be missing features, and so on. Your phone's model number also appears to change from MHA-AL00 to M300-AL00 if you flash the non-Chinese cust partition. When this happens, things go crazy, and you cannot see a proper version number, build number, or model number.
I am looking into making a 'bastardized' version of something to flash, using a Chinese cust partition with an international system rom. Theoretically, this could fix the issues to an extent. It will, however, probably give you a warning upon boot-up that the system has been tampered with, and so on. I will have more information later tonight, Japan time, when I get a chance to work on it some more.
The programs which go missing on a flash of the European firmware are the following:
AutoInStallAPKFromMcc HPLegacyPlugin HwPhoneService PlayGames
Books HwCloudDrive_Local LatinImeGoogle PlusOne
ChromeHomePage HwID Newsstand PredefinedEapSim
GameBoxGlobal HwOUC OMACP talkback
Appmanager HwBetaClub Instagram_Stub Todoist
Booking HwHealthPlatform_OVE Installer Todoist_ntp
DisableTodoistReceiver HwLogUploadService NewsRepublic Twitter
Facebook_Stub HwOUCBeta ProjectMenuAct WPS
Along with all the included themes, and the auto-installer which mounts via USB when you plug the phone in.
Obviously, some of these files are more important than others. All of the things really vital to being able to use the phone can likely be loaded via a Chinese cust partition, but the versions are probably different from the european versions.
Update:
I've obtained a server and am currently setting things up to bring this to the public. The first stage will be a private test. I'm still willing to take some testers who are willing to put their phones in the line of fire! I don't think the private test will launch today, because a new International B126 ROM just came out, so I'm going to base my work off of that for now.
After all the kinks are worked out, I will develop some kind of system for the general public to use. Eventually, this system will be one where you configure your DNS to my server, log into a website, choose what firmware you want to flash, then use eRecovery and that firmware will flash to your phone. I will have to customize all of the international firmware to work perfectly on Chinese devices, and I've yet to do that, but will be working on it. If there's a need, I can expand this system to other Huawei phones. It's exciting times for Mate 9 owners.
Hi duraraa
I have just received my 128g mate 9 in France. I will be happy tomake a donation and participate to the test. Please let me know.

Sure, thank you for your interest. In the meantime, if you are currently on a version like B115 or higher, please downgrade to B106 / B109SP01 so you are familiar with the process.
Update: Now that we can install Google framework on the Chinese latest firmware, I have decided to cancel this project for now. I may keep a server alive to upload to unsupported/beta firmwares, but trying to get the European firmware working well on the Chinese Mate 9 is no longer a priority.
Which version of the firmware Duraraa ?

Just search for GMS in the HiApp store. Huawei released a google framework installer.
But the app twin functionality in Chinese handset only allows QQ and wechat. Please continue with finding out how we can install European Rom on Chinese handset so we can have twin app functionality for whatsapp.

If I flash the European rom on the Chinese handset, it's still QQ and wechat. Strange, eh?
Yes very strange....But there must be a way to fix this right?
Mate 9 from Taiwan
Hi everyone, keeping an eye on the market I found a very tempting offer on the 64GB version - HUAWEI Mate 9 64GB 4G Dual Sim SIM FREE/ UNLOCKED .
Now, my knowledge of ROM flashing is "level: what is a ROM?", but I am reading lots on the subject , but a couple of months ago I bought a P9 for my wife, chinese Al00 version, no problems to install Google Play but still many things are in chinese, the language correction for english or other EU languages sucks. That is why I decided not to go for Chinese versions unless there were exaustive guides on how to flash the mobile to an international or better european ROM.
Said all that, I wonder if anyone has found an easy way to solve the above mentioned issues - I assume everyone with a chinese version will have similar problems - and if you solved them otherwise.
Thanks for any information you might provide, and sorry if I missed key info to have this question properly addressed, but I will be happy to add it if asked.
Cheers,
Daniele
Hello
There is no international firmware for the Z17.
The vendors are putting custom ROMS with multilanguage with or without google services but they have a great inconvenience, you will not be able to receive updates by OTA.
Where to download the official Chinese firmware for the Nubia Z17?
How can it be installed? From SD, OTG ... through your recovery mode?

The official Chinese firmware can be downloaded here : http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/42
For the installation, there is an upgrade guide in PDF format but you need a Nubia account to access it (and my Chinese knowledge is much worse than my English one)...
How can you tell that you've got a custom rom on it from the vendor?

Taken a look at the PDF file; basic steps 1) Backup information on phone 2)copy firmware zip file into the root directory of internal storage 3)update firmware 4)if there are problems, factory reset after update
Only step (3) looks a little different from other phones; basically you should go Settings - Privacy & Security - Select "Slide to unlock" to reset screen unlock to simple slide to unlock and then Settings - Firmware Update - Local Update - Select the zip file for the firmware you want to update to
Hope this helps.

Basically we should put the official firmware on for ota updates and the possibility that they may allow Google apps?
In my Rom there is nothing related to Firmware and/or Update.

In your firmware there are Google services? If yes, make backup pls your firmware
Ok, but how do I do it?
Booting into recovery also does not Show anything related to upgrade. Only one is called boot into edload.
And it says System is root - 1 and Boot is root - 1.

Well i checked. And i think it's impossible. Where did you buy phone? Or for which country
I bought it from cect-shop.com.
They told me that I have to wait for an international Rom from nubia, which would be APPLIED via a PC.
I do have Google Services on it. Some things are buggy.

Hey Thomas, i ordered my Phone from the cect-shop, too and it will arrive on July 11th.
Which version is your Z17? 6/64 or 6/128 ?
It is the 6/64 Version. The 8/128 was not available.
It is good Phone but needs time to get used to coming from Stock Android.

It can only be downloaded if you have the extraction password, that it what Baidu is asking for.
You can find it also here (GeekBu...). It is the release 2.44. I didn't have a look "inside".
