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

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.

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

You'll probably have to reflash stock recovery back on with Multi Tool and then hopefully it'll update manually via the dload folder method.

Thank you for your reply. I've downloaded multitool & all drivers etc but haven't a clue what to do. I tried installing stock rom (I think) says complete but my phone it took about 2 seconds and looks the same.. Am I doing something wrong? Which rom should I choose? Sorry...

B313 is reported as beta version as you will find here. It´s odd you got the OTA notice for a beta.
I would wait some more days for the final MM6.0 release.

Well, no luck there
I downloaded, unzipped, stuck it in the dload folder, rebooted with the up/down volume. It's like it did
with the firmware finder app also, gets to 5% and fails. Sounds like I'll have to wait until the built in
app says it is available...again.
I'll keep the link though, perhaps one day it will work properly.
If it helps, this is the one I downloaded.

Your bootloader is locked, right? I ask it because I wonder if there is an order to install these differents files, and I wonder if it will be easier to install it via TWRP. I looked the content of the small file and I'm not sure what it is.

Maybe we have to install the small file before, it seems to be a patch file. So perhaps we have to install it for the second works.

Could be...Yes, I'm pretty sure the bootloader is locked. There is an option in developer options to allow it to be unlocked, but
it pops up a security warning, so I don't know if it will work or if it will hose something else.
I guess the "official" 580 will hit my phone one of these days soon.

You can see the difference with Huawei extractor in the screenshots below.
These are the files:
DTS.img
MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img

RECOVERY2.img

They are missing in OTA file.
"Huawei made changes in the installation process of the firmware. Now the firmware before installation passes the procedure of online checking. If you receive an "authentication failure" when installing the firmware, then at this time it is not possible to install this firmware on this unit, you need to wait. For the most stubborn:We did not find a way to bypass this test yet.. You need to wait until your imei is listed for this firmware, or make it "available to all"

Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.
https://w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=719987
This is what i found in network for B580:
Status: Official (beta)
Version: NRD90M
EMUI: 5.0
"Disclaimer: This update is in beta stage which means that it may carry bugs that can have an impact on the usability of the device. Moreover, since this is a multifile update, you may encounter errors if you try installing this with the stock recovery."

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...

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?

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?

Oreo Beta

Been running this since yesterday. Only issue I've come across is that I can't allow unknown sources. Other than that it's ok so far. Truly nothing groundbreaking about it compared to the latest official update.

EDIT: Solved by using newer BQJA firmware to flash back to.

Some Substratum theme options weren't yet working. A few random force closes. Security Log agent messages from some apps. Lag in the notification shade when playing Spotify (so possibly any media). It's not like Oreo is a big upgrade, so I'm not in a rush to get it.

I just got this phone two days ago and have been away from the forums for over 2 years. Root is available for BQJA if I read correctly. Is that right? I just want root for substratum. Downloaded it from the Play Store and it's offering me to buy an add on for "supported Samsung"

You don't need root for Substratum. The $1.99 add-on does work and is probably required.

Been running this since yesterday. Only issue I've come across is that I can't allow unknown sources. Other than that it's ok so far. Truly nothing groundbreaking about it compared to the latest official update.

You can, but only by using the built in "my files" app.. Also go to settings>apps then tap the dots in the top right and tap special access and look at the bottom of the list. Do you see install unknown apps?
I hope they fix the theming issues, half of the icons get the stupid white border/frame. even when you turn off icon frames its stays. its the biggest reason why I switched back. This Beta is really stale this year. I have it on my s8 to and I'm not really impressed
Deleted, nvm. Lol

Yes, that is the build that this is for....
I have an Honor 7X and it has caused me incredible amount of stress and waste of time trying to get Oreo. I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
I had been trying to use the software updater to check for Oreo for months and it always said I had the latest software - which isn't true. I also used Hi Suite to no avail. I just registered my phone with Huawei and it updated. I am not sure if your third phone is unregistered, but make an account with them and check. I wasted so much time, bricked my phone, paid for DC Unlocker, tried to flash Oreo stock etc... finally I have it the legitimate way.
Now, the next thing I would like to do is install an Oreo custom rom - but I am not paying more money to DC Unlocker. If anyone wants me account details for the DC Unlock to recover their bricked phone, I have 2 days left and will provide info.

Don't recommend things you dont know about. Android 9 is still buggy, at least provide a bug list...

I mean, I know of 2 really easy ways to update to oreo, it isn't very hard...
1. You can use hurupdater and download full ota of oreo and flash it
2. You can use firmware finder app and have it update through dns and whatnot

That looks reall promising.
Also my BL locked honor 7x has the ancient version B101 !! Thats the version which it comes with.
Tried several things and didn't managed it to update to oreo (Firmware FInder with DNS & Proxy, Factory reset, ...)
Your approach sound promising.
Did you register the phone on www.hihonor.com ?
When you register the phone, did you wait some time before checking for system update again?
Thank you

Thanks for your suggestions!
I am also stuck @ B101 version since ages (12/2017).
1. hurupdater just works if BL is unlocked. I have no BL unlock and also will leave it as it is
2. This approach does'nt either! Have tested DNS & VPN method, the device is seeing the update but always states "Update Package error" (just from mind, did'nt remind me of the correct message)
Have tested this with several packages where FF always states that it is approved.
So the OPs approach seems maybe an solution/workaround.
The update was immediate after I registered. However, I have thought about the process I took.
I tried several times using various methods of updating to oreo... and finally I bricked the phone.
I then downloaded DC Unlocker and paid to unbrick the phone and tried to flash official stock rom for Oreo. It didn't work.
I then flashed official stock raught rom and the phone unbricked. I made an account with huawei and registered the phone. Immediately the update for oreo popped up.
My thoughts - either I was using a modified rom which the vendor installed and this prevented an update to oreo, or I just needed to register.
My advice - try registering an account with huawei and if you don't get an update, try flashing official stock rom with no modifications. Also make sure the stock rom is designed for your particular phone - I learnt the hard way and bricked the phone. But in the end, many hours later and 18 euros later I have Oreo.
Yes it true, Android Pie should be available soon - but I believe if you can't get Android 8, it's unlikely the phone will update to 9.
Huawei has made it very difficult for people with their restriction on unlocking bootloader - very very disappointed. My main phone is Huawei P20 Pro and I am very happy with it, but the Honor 7x is a potentially amazing phone... just disappointed with a few things. I would have kept the Honor 7x if the camera was a bit better and would have no problem in paying a bit more.
Best wishes guys. I still have access to DC Unlocker if anyone wants it - think it has a day left.

Thanks for all the info.
Will make an acount soon to test if it helps out.
If not, does DC-Unlocker unlocks BL?
What does this mean that you have access for one day.

DC Unlocker can potentially unlock the BL but I didn't pay for that. Yet anyway.
I paid for 3 days access to the software, and I have 1 day left. If you find that after registering your phone it does not update to oreo, and you want use it to flash official stock rom for your phone, let me know. I have 1 day left of using the software.

I would suggest flashing stock rom first - what is your firmware? I am on BND-AL10
I am on BND-L21 modell and fiormware is BND-L21C432B101, its stock, never done anything regarding firmware (because it dont work .
How can i archive this?
Sorry not much experience with honor/huawei devices.

I don't have a lot of time right now as I am heading out...
But download the exact stock Naught rom for you phone - very very important. Don't try Oreo as it won't work. The file should be an official version without any modifications.
I used this website: http://huawei-firmware.com/phone-list/huawei-honor-7x
Also, make sure it is the full OTA (should be about 1.65GB). The file is a zip. You will need to extract the update.app file from the zip.
The DC Unlocker software uses the update.app file from the zip.
Once you have download both the DC Unlocker and official stock rom as outlined above, connect your phone in fastboot mode and flash the update.app to the phone. You will then have the official stock rom. By the way, please back everything up on your phone - I would suggest to a computer.
Then register the phone with the Huawei with your ID and Oreo should download. I will PM you the login details for my DC Unlocker account. I can tell you now - it won't unlock the bootloader, I don't have enough credits for it. I just bought enough to unbrick the phone.
Finally, I can't take responsibility for anything - I am just telling you what I did when 1) I couldn't update to Oreo, 2) I had my phone bricked, and 3) I now have Oreo.
I hope it helps you and anyone else facing this issue.

To be honest, I don't know which one would be suitable for your phone. I made my guess based on the fact that you have a BND-L21 model. Also I was looking out for "FullOTA-MF" rom and also one which I think is Naught.
These are the main factors which I took into account which got my phone unbricked and using the official stock rom rather than a custom one which the vendor modified before I bought it. I have doubled checked, you have about 23 hours with the DC Unlocker to play around...
By the way, you extract the update file from the zip, that is the only file you'll need from the zip
