official Oreo update for Mate 9(not Beta)

[Janneman3987]

i have tried hicare method mentioned above, also checked the early adaptors, but still no update. i have the "latest" stock firmware L29C636B183 installed

First check if the regio of your Mate 9 is the same of where you are now.
If not, download "Opera VPN" and set the right region. (C636 is Signapore)

Download Firmware Finder for Huawei.
Go to Wi-Fi settings.
Push and hold down your current Wi-Fi connection.
Push "Adjust netwerk" (or something like that. Not "Forget network")
Select "Avanced options"
Proxy "Manualy"
Hostname "localhost"
Port 8080
Proxy ?? "localhost"
Save

Start Firmware Finder and (this is important!!) push "+ Add model"
(Do not choose the model FF automaticly show.)
Type: MHA-L29 8.0.0.
Select the newest FullOTA-MF-PV for your region (C636)
Push "IN-APP PROXY" and "Ok".
Goto "check for system updates" in your phonesettings.
Now you can see there is an update. Start the update and push "pause".
Scroll your screen downwards and stop the Proxy app.
Go back to the download and resume the download.

It worked for me!

I did that and it downloaded the update but after I clicked to restart it said the update wasn't authorized and would be deleted. Is there another step you performed?

Those updates will only install once it's approved for your imei. I unlocked my bootloader and I'm already on 8.0.0.360 us model. I'm sure your model should be getting official Ota soon. If it doesn't find an update itself than if your willing to do some unlocking of the bootloader and using adb you can flash files from firmware finder using HWOTA8 method.

Okay thanks, I thought your method was to allow installing unapproved firmware. I'm using the HWOTA8 method now.

It's allowed to help install new full release key firmware that is final which aren't yet approved. It runs bug free and if you can get oreo working it's really nice for a handset from 2016. Just make sure to backup any files and messages you don't want to lose.

I think your phone is approved to install MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a. that one isn't the latest update but it is a stable one.you can find it in ff.

I checked using the FF today, but was told my phone was not approved for the 8.0 yet. Has any one with the same firmware version like mine been able to update to the 8.0?

mine is .. L29.....C636183. When i checked with FF, it asked to include IMEI info, so i did, then the result came back said, 'your device is NOT approved.' By the way, my c636 region is Hong Kong. ( i bought the phone from ebay)

Stop the manually download.Use the instructions in the last post

I think you have to use the hwota method. Easiest way is the in app proxy method.
