Thought i want to give some additional info (if not known already) reagrding the N update coming for the A2017 models.
Today i had some FB conversation with ZTE Mobile Germany to ask some definitve answers for this update to come.
This is what they gave me :
1. When : end of january 2017
2. Which types : all of the types/models get a specific update
3. OTA or SD ? : will be an SD card update (so happy ROOTing guys, because imo the OTA updates are no longer coming after this upgrade to N)
4. Bootloader unlocked : NO (perhaps the advice to unlock it before the N update to be sure you have it unlocked)
5. Root option available in settings : NO
6. test version or the real stuff : REAL STUFF
7. DayDream supported : coming soon (https://vr.google.com/daydream/phones/)
Good news after all i think. Let's wait a little bit longer :cyclops:
@rikin93 can you confirm all of that information ? Especially about bootloader unlock ?
Here is the message
cheers !
ps : so all models get a seperate N - update
@raystef66 i believe you but @rikin93 is our ZTE Europe insider and few weeks ago he said that he got beta Europe unlocker so I wish to hear his position about your statement.

No problem mate I have seen he has written that before.
Hope there is one, otherwise it would be best to unlock before...if this news above is correct.
Sure thing ! We just need to wait - as always.

If Daydream is not included in the first Nougat version, doesn't that mean that there will be an OTA update to add it in later?

Will be supported in first release IMO and if not yet in the first release, it always will be possible to update it via SD when they update a new one. I don't see any problem in that matter.

For simplicity sake, I hope they do get rid of OTA. I think the SD card route would be better, and it allows people to update at their own leisure without nag.

Well we certainly see that here in the forums. If this is true, it will be good for them to learn.
I dont know what version the root and bootloader unlock is coming on so i will find out ASAP.
However, Nougat should be coming by the end of this month and a B10 update end of this week/next week.
And yes i was previously on a B03 bootloader unlock/root given to me by ZTE to test out and was working fine. My camera broke so i had to get replacement phone so i am off root for now till they release the official one so dont worry guys i will keep bugging them for information!
An SD update is not difficult, just move the update.zip file to root directory of sd card and then go into Settings->Update and the update will be listed there and is straightforward from then on.
B10 is indeed scheduled coming week.
Just got the phone
So, on yours opnion should I unlock BL/Root/xposed right now? Since it`ll be an SD update??
just got my A7 and started reading only today bout unlocking BL/rooting (done this in all my old phones before).
Thanks!

Of course they would all need a separate update -- the modems would all be different. What would be more important would be that some (U and G and maybe Chinese) are based on the same codebase, rather than separate ones. Then the updates would roll out with similar features in a similar time frame.

what? ok it's true most of axon 7 owners are power users but it's not how it should be done at all... OTA is the easiest way to notify your clients of your work, general and security improvements, you don't want them to bother on manually installing updates, you try to make sure everyone is up to date.
If this is true, I hope they mean for the time being, before rolling the update to everyone after through OTA. I don't read german so I can't really know if there are subtleties involved in the syntax.
By the way, weren't there a kind of community forum for european/german model through which we could communicate with the devs in english? or by email?

Of course they would upload different versions due to different modems etc.
I only stated this BECAUSE there were some rumors on other forums that there would be just one for all. Just wanted to make things clear mate

My comment was in the context of general public. There are far more axon 7 in the hands of layfolk than xda users. An ota is the simplest way to push an update through. While the steps are simple, i'm confident people will find ways to screw up copying a file to the sd card.

They have also said end of January / Early February
So i'm forced to buy an SD card to keep my phone up to date? That's not the way a company should handle their customers.
I talked to Huawei USA Customer support on 12-21-18 and they stated the for the model BLA-A09 US Model that it will start receiving the Android Pie 9 update around mid-January 2019 via the OTA update feature.
Latest from Huawei Customer support on 1-22-2019 @ 2:24 PM CST USA
The updates will be completed by the second half of February.
This depends on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
That would be the reason why it is not with you yet.
Nibiru2012 - So you're saying by the end of February or before?
Lisandro M. Since your device is indeed scheduled to be updated, is just a matter to wait and keep on verifying the updates on the notifications or using HiSuite.
They will be done, before the second half.

My phone updated today, Saturday January 26th Central Time USA
Official Build version is: BLA-A09 9.0.0.201 C567E6R1P11
I did a Factory Reset after the install, which always should be done when a major firmware update occurs. Phone seems to be running fine so far.
Will let it run after a full charge for next 24 hours or so to let the system smooth out and such.
BTW - the option IS AVAILABLE TO REVERT BACK TO THE OLD EMUI 8 IF DESIRED.
I'll believe it when I receive it. Customer support hasn't been reliable at all for me.
That said, I hope it's true this time.
Well, Huawei has been piss poor about updates for this device so I'd take that with a grain of salt and won't be holding my breath waiting for any updates or support from Huawei.
Lol a full month after the rest
.....
Naaa. They won't give us everything
Wish I could rebrand my phone to EU firmware without going through funky.

Wow, surprising to see an update on Firmware Finder. I thought it stopped working for the US model after not seeing any updates for over half a year.
Downloading this file now.....
I'm running a stock mate 10 pro, and just started downloading the two files. Can't I just flash my device after the downloads are complete? Will there be any complications? If I can't then oh well, I'll just end up deleting the files and wait till I get the notification to download ota.
US variant recently got the December security patch. Security updates have been there, but feature updates have been lacking. I got the last update a couple of days after finding out about it, but the combined October and November Patch took a month to reach my device. Pleasant surprise to see that the EMUI 9 OTA will likely be rolling out soon-ish.

Unless it is authorized it won't install anyway, besides the fact that the US model only does online updates, you can't download and install anything with this device
I checked firmware finder and the pie uptade for the US Mate 10 Pro is there but when I check firmware the application says "the firmware is not approved for installation".
What exactly does that mean?
Can I force the Pie update through the app?
Anyone install this on their US Mate 10 Pro?
Anyway guys i jumped the gun and did the update via firmware finder here is proof we finally have pie !!! .I can tell you the system update improved performance things are really snappy and really liking the pie theme layout enjoy ! Its probably only a matter of time till it hits the update ota servers but I was to greedy to wait and had to do it .
Do you have any directions on how to do it?
It still says EMUI 8.0, I thought we were getting the full EMUI 9.0?

That's not even the same build number that is on firmware finder (BLA-A09C567E6R1P11R201), nor is it EMUI 9 like the build on firmware finder. EMUI 8 is Oreo, EMUI 9 is Pie. EMUI is not just a "skin" as you put it. If in fact you installed something it sure wasn't what you think it is. Since you must have unlocked your phone and installed a custom recovery you pretty much could have installed anything (stock recovery won't allow you to install non authorized firmware).

It means exactly what it says, the firmware is not approved. Firmware that is not "approved" can't be installed as the stock recovery checks the approval, you can't force it using the firmware finder app. The only way you can install non approved firmware is to install a custom recovery that does not check.
How long you think till the update is approved? I just don't see the point of listing it if it's not approved yet.

From what I heard from Huawei customer support the rollout for the US model would start sometime in February, so I don't see that firmware on FF being approved any time before that. Also, based on the really piss poor record Huawei has on keeping their word on things I wouldn't bet on them keeping that date, so don't hold your breath waiting.
BLA-A09 updates will be completed by the second half of February.
I didn't feel comfortable with Firmware Finder app since the update wasn't an "OFFICIAL" update.
I was told that it depends on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
Here's a conversation I just had today with a Huawei Agent:
Welcome to Huawei
Lisandro M.Support Agent
Good
Lisandro M. Hi there! Thank you for reaching Huawei Device USA, how can I help?

Nibiru2012 - Okay... LOL! I will try to be patient then.
Lisandro M. I am also concerned about getting the very best for my phone too so I understand how you are feeling entirely.
Nibiru2012 - So around Feb. 16th or so? At the latest?
Lisandro M. Around that time, yes.
Let me invite you to use our HiCare app. On the forums you can have access to cool exploits for your device.

HI I'm from Brazil, I buy a samsung sm g611 MT yesterday and after I tried to put the bootloader in the ON mode, I came across only with "usb debug" options, but no longer "bootloader" option, I researched in google,youtube,and nothing solve my problem they said this option appears in some time and its necessary wait 7 days without turn de phone off,
so I've been thinking , would be possible to discconect from internet, and use some app like cheat engine who BE ABLE to "change the time" and bypass the 7 days ? with HEX ...
So if possible then we don't need no longer wait 7 days more , to "bootloader" option pop up..
As I see in this post I belive its necessary install this ".zip" to block the "reactivation" of RMM right? this ".zip" works fine in android 8, september patch?
and this RMM really activate by himself?
-if yes people who install root and other will brick their phones because rmm will lock phone with root installed , so its would be super necessary the installation of .zip file
is that true?
Its hard survive without root nowadays

Dude I've been using root for 2 months and yeah there is root for this phone
Actually I had to back the phone to Android 7.1 and it's working pretty well only one more thing, my friends already have root for Android 8.0 but I'm happy here with this Android 7.1 I created my first v
additional information: someone who already unlock this bootloader , could put the files here ? to install twrp, and magisk root , it would be really nice, and I'll be grateful
It seems you have learned english with Tim Explica isn't it?
Alright, let's check the facts. No one has compiled TWRP for our phone and we're not gonna have root either.

Alright, I think there is some trick to make this work. However I couldn't manage to the custom recovery because the system replaces with the original stock recovery. I'm not mad at all, but I will try again.
Hello,
I have a MatePad M5 Pro that is stuck on Android 8.
Model: CMR-W19
I don't care if it's official ROM or custom ROM. I would like to maintain the WidevineL1 and mpen and keyboard support.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Try downloading HiSense software onto a PC, then connect your Mediapad to the PC and it will check for updates, even if checking for updates on your Mediapad itself doesn't find any.
This worked for mine. I was stuck on 8 too, until HiSense found an update and did the update on my Mediapad, then the Mediapad was able to find further incremental updates itself.

Any idea which to use? There are a lot of different Android 9 builds.
And how do I sideload on this device? Sorry if that's a noob question. haven't had to do this for a number of years.
When you click on a version to download, it gives you full instructions on how to install.
You are best going up in stages.
Find the same version that you have currently installed, then download the next version number up.
They're all for the same device, but that is a list of every update that's been released.
So install the next version up from yours, then try searching for the next update manually on your device to see if it then triggers it to keep updating itself. If need, just keep running the updates by SD card method.

Thanks! Im guessing I just can't install the latest update first?
I'm not sure.
Mine did incremental (about 6 in total), even though the latest one was newest.
To be sure, you're best off going up in order.
Because it's fully stock and you're doing in the correct way, it will scan first, so any issues and it won't install - so nothing to lose.
Hi all,
Had a read through this thread to see if there was any chance of an Android Update for my device but from the answers given, I can't seem to find anything.
I'm using an M5 Pro 10.8 (CMR-L09 - Cellular) on 8.0.0.203 and the Huawei Updater site doesn't seem to have anything above this for my model.
If I was to look at installing an OTA for the likes of the CMR-W19, would this harm my device at all?
They're both Cellular, both 10.8". Only thing I can really see different is that they are 64GB and I'm 32GB.
Also, as a side question, I don't have a PC, what's the best way to download and install an update using the device itself?
I look forward to a reply!

In regards to the part of if it would be bad..
CMR-W19 is not an LTE model. So if you do successfully flash the ROM, not sure if you would have issues with LTE.

CMR-AL19 (m5 Pro 64gb LTE) here. I'm on 8.0.0.199 Android 8.0 With July 19 Security patches. No Update available. Huawei support told me there is no newer version available for this Model.... I'm abit mad coz it's even the 'pro' Model..
Hi
I've ordered an A10 for my wife. If it comes pre-installed with Android 10, can I downgrade it to Pie so I can install a GSI rom from @phhusson?

If they are the same bootloader version, you can. If not, you can't. If you don't know how to tell what bootloader version you are, I suggest you use Google.

Thanks for the quick reply but now you've really confused me! If the phone arrives with Android 10 on it what am I comparing against? And if it comes with 9, is there any way to check the bootloader version of the 10 upgrade before I install it (don't want to be stuck on a version I cannot root <g>)
I haven't had a Samsung for over 10 years (S2 - fabulous phone) so I'm a bit out of date. Is the bootloader version still the 5th character from the right in the baseband number?
TIA

Well, first of all I don't know if Android 9 is available for your phone or not lol I don't have the device. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. I suggest looking at sites like Sammobile to see if there is Pie for your phone
And second, yes that's how you can tell the bootloader version on Samsung phones still
Thanks @ShaDisNX255
Good news - it came with Pie not 10 and the bootloader is v3 so I should be good to go
