VPN for EMUI update? - Huawei Mate 9 Pro Questions & Answers

Does changing the region from which your phone is accessing the internet (such as with VPN) change chances for receiving the EMUI Oreo update?

Yes, but only if you have hicare on a china version of the device (LON_AL00), as if an early update is requested there you will need a china ip address to receieve it in the system updates interface. But if your rom doesnt have that feature then there isnt much of a difference as far as i know.

Also, just on a side note, if you use erecovery then often u will need a vpn to your specific region to fix your phone.

US P7510 - Official firmware update P7510UEKMM - Honeycomb 3.2

Just received an official firmware update for my US P7510 via OTA:
Android version: 3.2
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKMM P7510UEKMM
For those having installed this. Does the "regular" root zip from CWM still work? I have a US 10.1 WiFi which I updated to UEKME before flashing XWKI2. I'm guessing this update will show up if I manage to return to UEKME, but I'll probably just wait for it to be posted here
I will get on this tonight

I just got mine OTA, too. It took quite a while to install after the download, and just as I was getting concerned, it finished. Everything seems OK. Now to go find out what's new/changed.
After updating to this firmware I cannot connect to my WLAN anymore (which was working properly before the upgrade). This is even true after doing a factory reset of the device.
Anybody else facing this issue ?
Update:
Issue is related to DHCP. After configuring a static IP it's working as expected.
Can't wait to get home from work to see if I'll get the update too. My tab is bought in the US, but is running Russian (?) XWKI2. Might have to re-flash UEKME to get the update I would think.

Thanks for the info!
I'm waiting for a cwm flashable zip. Installing an official update is way to risky if you want to keep your bootloader unlocked.
@WIFI Problem: What wifi channel are you on? If it's above 11, try something lower. It might be the regulatory domain (US= channels 1-11).
Thanks for the hint about channels but this doesn't seem to be the reason. I'm on channel 1 in the 2.4 GHz band + DHCP is also failing in the 5 GHz band
wifi probs
in the discussion of task's 3.2 rom on the development board there was some discussion of wifi problems, i think it was related to energy saving mode or something so maybe turn that off.

same here with the no wi-fi. was able to "connect" by setting ip to static and inputting the info in the fields manually, however i dont have any connectivity to the interweb... this update rocks
No update here in Canada
I've purchased my GT-P7510 from USA and root it, about as follows:
Android Version
3.1
Kernel Version
2.6.36.3

Build Number
HMJ37 P7510JPKG6
AND NO OTA UPDATE HERE IN SAUDI ARABIA...!!
Just got off a live chat with Samsung. Here is an excerpt from the chat.
Visitor: I'm noticing many complaints on some message boards now about network issues with the new update. Are there problems with 3.2?
Rex: Let me give you a feew minutes while I check the information for you.
Visitor: I am able to connect if I set the IP to static. I can't do this for every network I connect to.
Visitor: I need to be able to use DHCP
Rex: I understand your situation.
Rex: Please give me a few minutes to check the information.
Rex: Thanks for the holding.
Rex: The problem is with the version 3.2
Rex: Please perform the hard reset on your tab once.

It appears there is still some work for Samsung on the 3.2 version.
I'll try the Hard Reset, but I'm not holding my breath it will fix this bug.

The only OTA update for US tabs is KME and now KMM. KG6 is not a US ROM hence why you have not seen an update.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Same problem here. I can only connect to wifi using static ip address. I also tried the factory reset and it did not work. It is really annonying not having DHCP working.
Screen auto-rotate is also not working!!
I hope Sammy releases a fix for this soon.
The fact that Samsung can release a firmware update that breaks some very visible features is completely mind blowing to me.
Update went well via Kies

I tried installing this with Firmware Finder but it crashes after 5% when I attempt the install (power volume up) from micro sd... The update from the EMUI app doesn't appear.

Updates for Mate 9 can not be installed from mocroSD (except two offline full ROMs)
You must use "install via system update" function in FF. But so new OTA doesn't approved to install.

That is the version I used until switch to Alexa USA beta.
It's good update, but security is February not March. Also kernel build is a little older. Now finally everybody can install using FF maybe. Anybody has done?

As you can see paying money won't make you any happier,you are switching from firmware to other
I prefer to wait for an ota stable release for free
Between huawei are not slow pushing the updates.

For me, no. Beta is very fun. Trying new features first, I enjoy it. But I think Huawei very slow with update. I mean make update authentication. Post to FF but waiting so long for authentication failed, so I make my choice to pay money and try many things faster.
Anyway many update coming now. So I want to know what's next! For you already very nice battery life but for me I hope for more optimised.

I don't think that you can update by OTA, if you try to update with firmware finder it says that its not signed.

Fine here as well......what about dialer and settings? ....are both apps working. In my case after installing and just wiping cache, both apps were closing immediatel. After a factory reste everything is working fine.
The same, setting a dialer error. Wipe cache a factory reset and all OK
Has anyone tried again to update with FF? Maybe they signed it
Found that the device (L09 and L29) is not certified in Google Play, but the update in Google play still runs OK.

Mate 9 MHA-L09C316

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.

Zte a2017gv1.0.0b11

Hi everyone !
i have many issues and limitations on my ZTE Axon 7 like battery drain and problems to connect with google account, remove or change it etc. Basically I'm not allowed to do anything telling me I dont have admin rights.. I tried already many solutions to sort these issues but none worked. Even if I do a factory reset I will still encounter same issues. I have european version of the phone I'm on build number ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B11, MIFavor UI 4.0, Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.20 and I want to upgrade it to B35 or a much more recent version. The update in the settings is telling me 'software up to date' so cant do it automatically.
Which version would you advise to have the most efficient and less limitative interface (maybe even avoid overlayers from zte) ? could you help me explaning how to choose and do an upgrade with all detailed steps? also I am wondering if any problem with upgrading and my phone doesnt work can I do a factory reset or nothing and do I lose the warranty doing so? I am looking for most simple way to do so (for a newbie)
thanks a lot !
Download the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM, put the update.zip in the root of SD and use the system update app. From that ROM there is a new Nougat B10 update as a precursor to updating to Oreo soon.

B35 is US. You have to use B08 or 09. But yeah, just update to B08
The Nougat V1.2.0B10 just released. You may get it from the ZTE Germany page.
@ko_wei13 is it compatible to update from ZTE A2017G V1.0.0B11 to V1.2.0B10 ? if I download it from the german website can I set any language after update?
@RobboW on which website can I find / download right package of the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM compatible with my build version?

Yes, minimum requirement to update to Nougat is V1.0.0B11. So you can download the file and place it under the root directory of your phone storage and the system update will automatically detect it.
For language, there is no issue for you to change it as the ROM is for global, not limit to German.
I flashed it on my G. Had a couple of glitches but mostly ok. They say you should do a major update after a factory reset. I didn't but the glitches were minor and it seems to be working ok now.
thanks worked great !
@yann360,
Hi,
Yeah, you can set most language in your phone. You can upgrade your phone via SD card.
Thanks!

Hi, I have a Sharp Aquos P1 which is the taiwanese version of the phone.
Apparently, the hardware is the same. But the phone is stuck on Android 6, which is a real bummer.
Do you guys think it's possible to install the firmware of SHV34 or SH-04h? By the way, I'm using the phone in France...
Thanks!

What is your build number? If 01.00.08 than you can try to use update file to Android 7 for shv34 from 4pda.ru forum. Also it is possible that motherboard is broken
