Even Huawei do not know when Nougat its coming out for the Mediapad M3 (BTV-W09B) - Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion

I emailed Huawei regarding the Nougat update for EU Mediapad M3's (BTV-W09B) and they don't know when it will be. I am not really impressed as Nougat has been out 10 months now. No doubt the EMUI 'enhancements' slow down development.
I really like the tablet but this does not bode well for the future. Let hope that some custom Roms can be developed in the mean time.

Dear *****,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Customer Support.

Same answer for BTV-DL09, from Huawei Romania.
You can update your tablet via Firmware Finder, to B301 (for BTV-W09). it is Nougat, everything ist working properly.
I have B302 (for BTV-DL09) and have no issues, tablet is working even better

Hi 30adi, do you know if I can flash europe rom on my US device? My device has a model code BTV-W09C128, not sure if I can flash roms for BTV-W09C100
thanks

No, you can't. You need to change region to C100. I have no idea how it can be done. For other Huawei products it is possible, they have more support from developers.

Why? Can you explain this???
Are you sure or only spamming aroud FUD?
In my experience you can safely install a ROM of different region if for the same HW.

Why should I spam? I have no interest on spamming here...
Check other Huawei threads and you will see that people are using tools to change region.
If you know how it's done, people here are waiting for a tutorial. Explain them how it's made.
I do not need, as I already have the EU version and running 7.0.

I have just had a new one appear on Firmware Finder dated 6/6/2017, its BTV-W09C100B302 (FullOTA-MF-P 87280) 2.38GB. I am a bit cautious to flash it as this is my only working tablet at the moment.

there are instructions in pg 11 to backup and change regions in the update emui 5 thread. post #108. worked for me. ive switched between euro to south east asia.

I tried updating my tablet (BTV-DL09) to latest firmware but it is not working. Firmware Finder finds B303 update, but when i try to install it, authentication error ist coming. I am on B302 now.

Well said!

I have an EU model and no update. Must be phased. According to Firmware Finder the latest is 303 not 302 for Europe.

I take it back its 302.

European LTE model has version B303. WIFI version B302.

Someone can confirm that in 303 the gesture control doesn't work?

Still no official 7.0 Nougat update global release?!

Why is Huawei so slow in making the official 7.0 update available for every P9 user? A few people have already received it so how come the majority still don't have said update?

Because its not just up to Huawei to send out these updates. If you have a branded phone, the update will actually come from the carrier, this is why the global models (C432 and C636) were the very first to get EMUI 5.0, because these are international models and the updates usually comes directly from Huawei. If you have a Vodaphone branded phone, then you are really waiting on Huawei sending the firmware to Vodaphone and then Vodaphone will need to do their testing to make sure it works (this sometime takes months, even up to a year) with their frequencies and services. So if you are on anything but C432 and C636, its not Huawei's fault you havent got EMUI 5.0, its your carriers fault.

There is a way to check but I cant remember how but I dont think it is an international model. Even if it has no branding, does not mean its an international version as well. It may be up to your local carrier to push through the update.

I am not 100% sure that the L19 Nougat firmware has started rolling out or not but I do know the L09 (both C432 and C636) has been officially rolled out. If you do some research into it and the L19C636 is getting the official Nougat update, I think there is a way to request for a firmware update via HiSuite.
Did not see the above answer, wrote the same, sorry. P.s. Both me and my friend got update via HiCare, not through settings.

I emailed the following to Huawei UK a few days:
Hi,
When is v7 android going to be released for unbranded Huwaei P9 in the UK.
We are so far behind... Others have had updates ages ago.
Thank
They sent the following reply:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Huawei UK Customer Care.
In response to your query, all the Huawei P9 European devices are planned to receive the Android Nougat update. However, at the moment we do not have any official release date. As soon as your device will be ready to update you will receive a notification and you will be able to commence with the installation process.
I trust that the above information will be helpful. Of course, if you have any other queries, don't hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to assist.
Best regards,
Jason

in Finland, official EVA-L09 OTA-update is out earlier this week....i'm not updated, because don't know if it can root or not.
Seems like everyone else in Europe is getting it.
Sadly, we in the UK are still waiting!

Actually you are not alone, here also in the Philippines although Huawei stated that the Nougat update for L19C636 is already out but not everyone is getting it. I myself (using L19C6363) still not getting the update from the Updater nor in HiCare app. Huawei stated that the update is being pushed batch by batch. Since I got tired of waiting I was able to update by using Huawei updater and HiSuite. But still I recommend to wait for the announcement of Huawei to release the update in your region, there are some who use the Huawei updater got their device brick.

I live in Africa, every time I look for the update in HiCare or in the settings, there is nothing. In HiCare I switched from continent to europe then i took France as a country, i erased the cache in the application and i restarted the update request right after i In the B378.
If it can help.
This is a trick that was given to me by a member who often comes to the forum and who had done the update in the same way, thanks to him he will recognize himself.
I have an EVA-L09C432B375, my old version was the B185.
Excuse my bad English.
Updated today my EVA-L09C432 from B360 to B378 (Telekom Slovenia)
I spoke to a guru from O2 UK who actually had a p9 and was informed that the update from O2 will only be released the middle of next month. Long time to wait.?

I emailed Huawei again... this time they asked for my IMEI number to check and then came back with this:
Thank you for Contacting Huawei Customer Services.
Your device has O2 custom firmware on it. This means that until O2 releases their customised version of EMUI 5.x, no update will be released to your device.
As it is a third party developing the customisations, it is not something we have a timeline for.
I am sorry we cannot be of more help in this issue. I do hope you have a great weekend though!

[Discussion] Oreo is very close

This thread will be deleted, but I just want to let you know that we will start to recieve the oreo update in two weeks from now. I spoke with Huawei and they confirmed this in a private chat.
Today I found in firmware finder this, a rollback to emui 5.1 .. This is obviously because of 8.0
(I hope I was understandable)

EMUI 8.0 Beta comes with Treble enabled.
Thumbs up for Huawei for knowing what dev community needs.
With that said, hopefully someone will start developing custom AOSP Treble ROM for this device.

there is already a lone ROM for our device. i thinki it's under the mate 10 lite forums and i bet it's based on stock rom. i don't haveplans to root and try it out though as we don't yet have full firmware packages for those who want to reflash. i hope huawei won't be so stingy giving out full firmware packages tho.

As per Huawei Officials in my country, Oreo update will be rolled out before end of 3rd quarter of 2018.

Latest firmware for vtr-l29 region c432

Hi guys
I recently bought a p10 version l29 and my region is c432
I searched for updates but it tells me there is no updates
This is the latest version ?
You are in EMUI 5 & Android version 7. I have also a P10 L29 and after auto updat it is now in EMUI 8 & Android version 8. I am in South Asia.

Yes OTA. My phone is not rooted.
Huawei hast a miserable update politic.
No one knows how it works and why some devices are getting updated immediately and others not.
EMUI8 should be rolled out for everyone. Maybe your IMEI is not in their system or your phone is rebranded and Huawei won't update because IMEI and region are not fitting together.
You can try Firmware Finder app by TeamMT to update. It works until newer Oreo versions. You can also check Firmware Access in this app, maybe you can update through it.
Or you try to ask Huaweis support, but it's not very good and professional in most countries.

Which of these should i install in order not to lose my data ?
Thank you
Try OTA first, if this doesn't work FullOTA.
There's always a risk losing your data while updating, even with official methods.
If you want to lower this risk try the latest version called "(Full)OTA-PV". This is the public version.
I never had any issues with updating using Firmware Finders files.

Not global, C636 is an Asian version. There are beta tests in some European countries and sometimes Huawei ceased releasing updates completely (I'm stuck on B376 and it's the newest version for my country, even though P10 Lite got 4 more updates and continues getting them regularly).

@fatjoez You cannot change the region in EMUI anymore, it's determined by your SIM. It's enough to swap it with the one from abroad and updates will show up immediately. It worked for many people, unfortunately I don't have an access to such SIM.
And it's not a bug, Huawei's consultants admitted that by Huawei's decision B376 is the newest software in my country (which is one of the largest for Huawei in EU).

Yes, look for 'rebranding' in the guides section. You do need an unlocked bootloader for this.

Hi
I got the same model VTR-L29(C636) on eBay from China. Trying to use it in Delhi, but the phone appears to have extremely poor radios. It connects well in areas where the signal is strong, but in weak areas it just doesn't connect at all.
India primarily uses 4 LTE bands - 3, 40, 41 and 5. Band 5 (850 mhz) comes into play indoors, where the signal is the weakest. It looks as if the P10 is unable to use this band, although the specifications say so.
I am interested in knowing what is the connectivity of the phone like in B'desh, whether you are facing the same issues or not.
Thanks.
Hi
Here in Dhaka we have 3G & 4G connection available based on locations in City area. Most of the time my phone connected with 3G and very rare it is on 4G though it is set on 4G.

Hope this helps you.

Just look for the newest version that incorporates your region (c636) in the filename. Ignore the newest 9.0.2 ones as no one can tell which is for which region. You'll probably find newest version is around 9.0.0.16 or 19 ish. And whe you use F you click check availability to check if it's available for your imei

Have you tried searching for updates in HiSuite for pc? Also,try using a different SIM card from a different provider for a day and search again for updates with the different SIM inside? Sometimes slow updates are related to the provider.

Hey...
I bought this phone in Singapore and use it in Japan.
I received the update regularly.
Now, I am on 9.0.0.234.
Try update from HiCare or HiSuite.
I have the same model (C636) unlocked/unbranded and I have not received EMUI 9 yet. Last security patch in October 2018. I'm using my P20 Pro in the US. What's going on?
Finally just bit the bullet, did a 15 day subscription to FH, waiting for my included free unlock code and I'm rebrsnding to C432 Europe. C782 and hauwei can kiss my cheeks

I have the same model (C636) unlocked/unbranded and I have not received EMUI 9 yet. Last security patch in October 2018. I'm using my P20 Pro in the US. What's going on?

Yeah same here. I haven't gotten an update yet and I am not bootloader unlocked. What should I do???
Try this.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/guide-force-update-using-firmware-t3963074
Follow instructions carefully, it should work. Got OTA to next version when it was available after that.
I would first try to find out what versions are normally delivered for your C636 OTA. Some say you should first update to 9.0, then to 9.1, so maybe try to update repeteadly to closer versions, not straight to last.

Hi m8,
Short answer is NO, because it might get softbricked and you don't have a doco dload firmware to use in order to downgrade to previous firmware on your device.
Flashing another device cust firmware was working well whille on EMUI 9.1 and users could flash the international dload firmware version (VOG-L29 C432 one) without the risk of getting softbricked. Once EMUI 10 was released, a lot of users got their devices softbricked, because of security changes inside kernel and within system itself. Some of them managed to revived their units using different methods or when Huawei released the firmware for their devices, but there are still many of those who are waiting for an dload firmware release for their custs.
So my advice is to wait for docomo to release the update and don't flash VOG-L29 C432 dload firmware on your device (or you could do it knowing the risks and assuming them). Untill today, no user from docomo tested if flashing C432 will work, because of the chances of getting a softbrick.

Hi m8,
I will answer for both posts :
1. YES, you can remove them using ADB commands. For how to remove, check my thread from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...w-to-remove-huawei-bloatware-vog-ele-t4014937
For finding out the name of the app you need to remove from your phone, install this app and use the original name of the apk's you need to remove (select app and press details) - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/jumobile/system-app-remover-root/system-app-remover-root-7-1-release/
2. When you say you have the original firmware from docomo, what do you mean by that? Is it the dload firmware that can be flashed using an OTG adapter+memory stick (or Huawei NMCard) or some other firmware? As my knowledge, if you flash an EMUI 10 firmware and got softbricked device, YOU won't be able to downgrade to EMUI 9.1, just using a proper dload firmware (in your case the one released by docomo) could revive your phone. So in your case, i would wait for them to release the update ?
Let me know how can i help you more and be safe

For the dialer you can use the default Google Phone app and Google Contacts, maybe there are closer than what you're used to ?.
NO, you cant modify the firmware prior flashing it. If you / all of us could unlock bootloader and rooted our devices + installed TWRP on our Huawei phones, you could have flashed a custom ROM or remove/adding using ROOT ANY apps you would like. But as we can't unlock our bootloaders anymore, we have to use EMUI as is, customised by docomo or other provider. Only way to have a clean firmware is by getting an international or Chinese version of the device, one with C431 / C432 or AL-00 cust .
Installing other firmware COULD get you a softbricked device. I say could because nobody has yet tested flashing an C432/C431 cust firmware on the Japanese DoCoMo phones .

Ok, post some SS here (if you can't add them to imgur or to GDrive/Mega or other cloud service) so i can take a look at them and see what you have now.

If your device is a P30 Pro Single SIM HW-02L (VOG-L0J) with Build ID : VOG-L0J 9.1.0.136(C341E136R1P2), then this firmaware is your original one https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=tags&tag=Huawei+VOG-L0J
Pay attention that in order to download that firmware you will need a paid account on their site

Ouch, i've replied you earlier about your firmware in case of backup, but it seems that you have a higher release version than the one available on easy-firmware.com (they have VOGUE-L0JB 9.1.0.136(C341E136R1P2) whille you have on your device v9.1.0.182(C341E136R1P2). So in case of flashing a C432 firmware on your device and get a softbrick, you are unable to return to latest available for your device. And as i've seen in your SS, there might be some problems regardless LTE basebands, which may be different in Japanese device vs European (International version).
So i would reccomend you to wait, maybe your next 1-2 firmware updates will bring you EMUI 10, alongside March/April security patches, as now you have January 1st 2020 on it ?

hi , dear SilviuO
unfortunately i haven't read this thread earlier.
I had upgraded my VOG-L0J to VOG-L29 10.1.0.151(C431E19) by using hisuite proxy .
at first , it looks perfect. until I executed factory reset.
now, almost google app are gone because of google play protect failen.
I tried to change to some other firmwares with hisuite proxy , all failed on installing step.
can you give me some advice for this situation?
thank you.

Hi there, m8. If you would asked me before?, i would recomend you to stay on your actual version... But now it's too late, so you will have to try using the GMS methods to install & use Google Services on your device.
I would also reccomend you to use a dload firmware to get back to your original cust, but there's no EMUI 10 n'or EMUI 10.1 dload firmware released for VOG-L0J .
For info about how to install GMS, use YouTube or xda P40 Pro thread:
1. YouTube - link 1 / link 2 or just search for How to install GMS on Huawei P40 Pro
2. P40 Pro xda thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...uide-method-to-install-google-mobile-t4120143 or https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p40-pro/help/gms-method-t4163345

If you have an dload firmware for EMUI 9.1 and you will flash it, there's a BIG problem: YOU WILL GET YOURSELF A SOFTBRICKED DEVICE! The only way for you to rollback to EMUI 10 and then to EMUI 9.1 is through HiSuite and by using the right firmware for your device. I know that there's none released, so unless you get yourself (maybe from a Phone Service Center) a dload firmware EMUI 10 or EMUI 10.1 for VOG-L0J to use it, then you'll need to use your device AS IS ?.
Hope you haven't used the EMUI 9.1 firmware untill now and you get to read this before
