There is an easy way as I'm not at my computer, but I need to make sure your models HW data and Public data exists.

Also, you can OTA just fine, just need to reflash stock recovery when you do.

Can you decrypt MHA- L29C567B167

u cannot use supersu ,instead use phh superuser bcoz supersu is not supported
your step should be
1-UBL
2-flash twrp thru adb
3-reboot to twrp
4-format data
5-reboot into twrp thru reboot option in twrp
6-flash decrypt boot img
7-flash superuser.zip
8-flash hw data.zip n public.zip
9-reboot to system
10-install phh superuser from playstore

Are those for L29C432B156?

What are they used for and how to actually find them on per-model base?

Those files are the data and apps for each firmware.
Let me explain how you get the files:
First check the firmware for ur model here http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha

Find a full firmware package.
in this example i will use L29C432B156.

Copy the link to ur browser and change at the end of the link update.zip to filelist.xml

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1366/g104/v75974/f2/full/filelist.xml

Open it in ur browser, you will see the path of each file.
For data file it's update_full_hw_eu.zip and the path is hw/eu ,so replace filelist.xml in the link to /hw/eu/update_full_hw_eu.zip
You will see full link like this: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...4/v75974/f2/full//hw/eu/update_full_hw_eu.zip

Do the same for public zip.

Hope it's clear.

Way easier than my previous "method". Had no idea about filelist.xml

They're data and Public zips. Settings, apps, etc. Without it you won't get System Update in settings and camera tends to break w/o it. Settings app itself tends to get iffy too if you don't flash it and wipe dalvik/art and cache.
Themes break without it. And you can't set intervalled wallpaper without it. So stuff do break.
The one you have quoted might be for C432B156, but better if you get your own if you need it.

When you update via Funky or Firmware Finder those are downloaded automatically, not sure of they are when you OTA as you can't find them using the OTA links on hwmt.ru.
And they're wiped (/data/hw_init/)when you unlock bootloader (/data wipe) or format Data. So that's why you should flash them after formatting data in twrp

Ok, so what i did was: unlock Bootloader, flash TWRP, flash decrypted boot.img, wiped data, flashed Superuser.

I didn't flash any of those two files. Maybe that's the reason why "Update" doesn't open if i go to the settings and enter "Update" in the search box. The button appears as i'm about to enter the word "Update" into the box, but nothing happens if i hit it.

What happens if i go to the recovery and do flash any of those files? Will it wipe my device? Everything is running just fine but it might be that i missed something...

Thanks in advance.

Yup, that's why.
Just flash Public first then HW, it won't wipe anything.
Well, public does wipe but only the contents of /data/hw_init/ which should be empty. You could just check if it is before flashing. And follow @gm007 's post to getting hw and Public.

You can receive ota when rooted but you cannot install it.

You should be able to with stock recovery/boot?

That kind of defeats the purpose though I guess, as you'd have to decrypt (if you want to stay decrypted) and install superuser again.
Reading up on it now, Nexus 5/6 OTA's seem to check the integrity of /system, so if you have busybox etc installed it would fail and thus would not install OTA.
Only way to get OTA would be to flash stock system.img again, as the whole partition is checked (checksum, if no match it fails).

If this is the case with Mate 9 I do not know, but I'd guess it is. (and it might check other partitions too)

I've been able to flash PUBLIC without any problems. But flashing HW gave me ERROR 7.

So, i rebooted and realized that ROOT was also lost.

How to flash HW?

It does give errors. It tries to run commands that TWRP can't execute ('mountencrypt and update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip')
Root shouldn't be lost because of it, unless you flashed back stock boot?
