I was confused by seeing a new firnware version at huawei website places 5th of august 2016 that ends with C636B320 and if i google that it looks like it could be android 6.0?
There is no version number written on the website:
http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/products/downloads/detail/ascend-g7-my.htm?id=86353
I tried installing it on my phone but I always get installation failed, maybe because my phone is from a different region..
Anyway would be great if they bring an official android 6 update for our G7!
The firmware you linked to is Lollipop.
Android 6.0 is currently only official in Turkey and China, but we are still waiting for the European version to be released.
Unfortunately, we don't know how long we will need to wait for it, if it is ever released.
Also, you are correct that you are unable to install the update since you are only able to install updates from your own region, or carrier (if your device is branded).
Ok I see, a download link of 6.0 is availible on this site, but will probably not work because of different region..
But I will try it, i'm dowloading it now.
Was it successfull? I am still waiting for this update to be released for european devices.
Hi guys/girls
I joined the beta programming while it was still a thing, and since then I've been stuck on the last beta version released for this model.
When I try to do a software update, it says I am on the latest version, however I have checked and as far as I can tell I am still on a beta version (complete with the beta popup on boot).
I have checked the CSC version and as far as I can tell it is OXA.
One of my friends has an unlocked varient as well (EDIT: it has an ITV CSC code) and he managed to get the official release firmware about a month ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got mine by flashing the stock btu mm complete with a data format per the instructions on sammobile using odin and my pc. As soon as i had the mm software installed and running i got the ota to 7.0. I think it was the btu csc and the format data that made it work. Yesterday i got an ota update to n.
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

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.

Don't flash using hwota or rebrand. Use firmware finder and download the updated C316 android 8 firmware
Huawei finally updating phones from SA

I am having the same issue, not sure how to update, each time I check ... it says its up to date.
You have to wait for it to become available. Actually my roommate and I both have 950U's. His loaded automatically months ago. I had to look around and then it was in my updates. Have Samsung experience level 9.0, which supposedly is as good as Oreo 8.1. That's good, because I can't find a way to get the real 8.1. If you run the latest patch/system update from April 1st, you have installed a level 3 bootloader and are the proud owner of one of the few phones that cannot be rooted! Congratulations! Maybe someday. My build number has changed to R16NW.G950USQS3CRE2
CSB1 most recent from boost Mobile. How do it up date to pie from 8.0. also I'd like to have a official build, if possible.

CSB1 to beta pie is not yet available in the wild.
Just wait like the rest of us for the official pie release by your carrier. It is to be released soon enough.
Or, you may flash g950u1 ... crl2 firmware and grab a side load update to zsab, or g950u ... crl1 firmware and grab a side load update to drl6 or drl7.
¡realBBB!
