i think you should wait for the official update dude
but if you dont mind void your warranty and know how to install via the firmware finder, then go ahead.

I received the b307 update via ota but it doesnt install properly
edit: reflashed b306 and b307 installed sucessfully via ota. the google patch still seems to be may5

I have BTV-DL09C100B303. Didn't see -B307 on firmware finder. Pretty strange: I'll check again.
BTW the -B303 is stil BlueBorne vulnerable and introduced some annoying bugs.
EDIT: no way still -B303).
EDIT/2: blueborn-rampant-gbye-m3-thanks-fish

I think by now we know about your panic.....go on and change and things are ok. But please stop. I have never heard, never had and probably never will have to deal with Blue-whatsit.
I for one knew beforehand that Huawei are not too keen on updating.
I also would be interested in which file needs to be used from the above....I had the same problem using Firmware Finder....

No quote. Who are you writing to?
EDIT: yes, I guess it's me.
First, I'm not in panic since I'v been waiting for months.
Second, that was the last check before shipping the tablet back, because I like(d) it a lot.
Last firmware check got no news, so I regret to say that it's not my problem any more because I'm not an M3 owner any more. As simple as that.
Of course each one of us is free to make its own choices, I'm not here to complain forever: I acted as a Consumer and the Producer was damaged by its own behaviour.
I'm not a zealot: I'm a second chancer, anyway. So maybe I will be back again with something else.
I hope that for that time, Huawei will have learned the lesson.

No quote because I am referring to the post before mine.....

I fear the harsh reality is that Huawei wont learn any lessons from your postings, no matter how often you point to them.
Anyway, best of luck with your next device.

I forced this update as soon as it popped up on FF today. Comes with November security patch, emui 5.0.1 (can't notice anything new btw), and low resolution power saving mode is still not working, but oh well. The changelog mentions better touchscreen calibration and improved battery life but I can't tell a difference. I'm pretty happy that it got updated, hopefully they'll fix the low res mode for power saving, back on emui 4 it made a big difference in battery life.
This version is not vulnerable to blueborne btw.

The only difference I've noticed from B303 after 5 days is an increase in standby battery drain. Very annoying.

Actually i have the 303 version whit firmware finder and I saw that there is a compatible version of 307 dated 20.10.2017. Are you reecomended to force the update?

Well, people complaining in mass with Huawei, or better some americans suing H. for millions after being hacked because of BluBorne... I imagine those things could change Huawei's behaviour.
Anyway, best of luck with your next device.

Thank you. I will keep an eye on Huawei products, though. By the hardware point of view they are very nice, but this Huawei's attitude of considering software security as "not so important" is anachronistic.

Hi there. I'm from Germany and use a BTV-DL09 with firmeware C100B303.
I would also like to Upgrade to B307. I saw that there are 2 Versions available in Firmeware Finder. Which one should I get? The 2,4GB or 500Mb?

500mb i think is ota, 2,4 gb is a complete rom

What should I use for updating my Mediapad? The full ota or the small one?

What's happening with the current round of updates?

So i read this morning that there is a new .124 firmware certified. And I'm wondering if the 114 firmware ever got released, but I don't think I've seen to much about it. Seems like there is also no widely accepted root method for 290 either. So what should we be waiting for now? Is the 114 update available yet, maybe through the PC companion or should I be waiting now for 124. Also I'm still on the Chinese firmware (just took the update in PC companion as my phone is from China) and wondering if this has any effect on me getting the ota.
I want to avoid updating anything with flashtool to avoid any potential soft bricking issues so many are experiencing.
In the end I just want stock with root. I'm holding off on anything until I know we will have a single firmware for an extended period. Can anyone clarify what's going on?

you already summed up good. we have new device and new firmware coming in a short period of time. also rooting becomes more difficult because of androids security changes.
actually i also think about going back stock and waiting for stable long term root.

Not really, the complaint level of AW2 is so high, of laggy performance, we may be having a favor done for us as tuning is being done before we get. There was an update for earlier released watches this last day which is getting positive feedback. So that is making me think we'll get it very soon now, I think tomorrow.

Lol swing and a miss. The wear 2.0 developer preview got taken down though, so either its coming soonish or we're just getting f***** on this one. All the indications are there.why would we buy the watch sport if we can flash the 2.0 developer preview?

I downloaded and saved the most recent AW1.5 and AW2 DP. I tried AW2 DP and it was awful, so went back to AW1.5 which I saved in case when AW2 officially released it is still awful.
We're being done a favor getting AW2 late but now I see happy noises on the June release, I'm seeing less reason to wait. But if there is a reason its no bad thing. The only thing I can't do is Android Pay.
If anyone does have the time to try AW2 then by all means flash DP and realize its a totally different everything interface, as I've been on AW now >2 years I find it awkward interface, noobs would take less retraining.
Someone likely has the googleapis link, I just have the file locally backedup.
Android Wear 2.0 fow the W200* is finaly here (well via OTA in Korea... For us via adb sideload )
Here it is the file: http://android.googleapis.com/packa.../af88cfbc96ad65e7b728e27c2decbdc6fb0e08e8.zip
P.S. It works perfectly! Android pay too!!!
Anyone tried the Korean firmware ? I didn't think 2.0 was that bad at all. Few things to fix but added a lot.

I updated earlier today. Made my first successful Android Pay purchase this afternoon. I never tried the preview so I'm still learning all the tricks/quirks of 2.0.
Sweet . Very cool , are you a US model though ? And did you use an OTA update or use PC with unlocked bootloader to flash it ?

Yes I have the AT&T model, W200A. I used the minimal adb and fastboot tool to sideload the zip file from my PC. I didn't have to unlock the bootloader.
i updated my w200a today with the korea version. however it felt more like another preview than a final release. Lag is present like on the preview, overheats somewhat easily and the battery drains way faster when you are using it than when you are on 1.5. At least this is my case on the w200a. I did a fsctory reset to see if that solved but no. Same result.
I have the at&t urbane 2 LTE (unlocked)
Until today I was running developer preview (nemo-nvf41u-factory-e269c504)
I had an update come through which has given me:
build number NXH20E
(ANDROID WEAR 2.0.0.159006699)
with security patch 1st May 2017.
The top and bottom buttons are working (re programmed through the options)
Android pay works.
I am in the UK.

I'm in the US and I updated using ADB and the file captured from the ota in Korea and these numbers match exactly to mine.
Found any bugs/issues yet? I've had an occasional lag or two. Android Pay is working and I've successfully tracked runs with GPS using ghostracer paired to the phone through cell data (my main usage requirement).
Not found any bugs on mine.
I have a few side loaded apps that may have been causing the odd glitch now and again whilst on the developer preview, but nothing since the update.
(Side loaded es file explorer so I could use MP3 ringtone on the watch & Google drive to download / upload)
I'm in the US with ATT version. Just got OTA last night. So far so good.

C605 Mate 10 / Mate 10 Pro Topic

Fellow C605 users
Since we seem to have a relatively small presence on XDA, I was hoping that we could collate all our region related discussion into one topic.
What firmware version are you all on?
I'm on b138 that I got via ota around mid July
No updates since
Is this unique to me?
There is one update newer on FF but no approval yet.
I'm the only C605 user left?

Nice
I'm feeling hard pressed to pay that FH money ( on principle)
No doubt that FH is an unrivalled service
I also just have a little warranty left in my country
Did you get the AI night shot as well?
Is it a significant difference?
Currently on b138 with July security update myself

Yes i did since 145 i think, but is not ALL that ... Is ok!
i'm on .137 since july
I'm also on .138 July patch with face unlock still waiting for .140 it's taking forever now.
I'm on 137.
What I really want is to rebrand and convert to dual sim.
But FH tool says must not be on July Patch Updates
My mate 9 just updated to August
But my mate 10 is still stuck on July
Not sure how to feel
Maybe something is really wrong with the mate 10 August and that's why it's not approved and pushed out
New mate 19 build is now approved on FF
Nothing in system update yet
Got it today.

Is there anything in there other than the GPU turbo update?
Specifically the updated low light camera mode that most other models got already?

No only GPU update it added game suite but about that low light camera mode I don't see it but I have night mode camera not sure if these 2 are the same thing tho this phone is new bought it a few weeks ago go like a 3 updates right away after turning wifi on.
Updated with FF like in the other topic here to b140

There shouldn't really be an issue with the software itself as to c605 is lagging behind c636 and c432 now

i got mine a week ago from O2 and i am on Version 9.0.0.198 (1. February)
I'm not from Germany but I got same update 198 (Giffgaff on 02 network)
It's just security patch, we will not have any EMUI update with features for a while I Reckon, hope they are working on Android Q 10 ... First time I bought a Huawei phone but it looks like they are not the best manufacturers in terms of update and they are "locked" with modification so I'm not expecting anything crazy from them...

Why would you think the updates are connected to the carriers? The last time I heard this was like 3-5 years ago lol

Software bug in Call Forwarding !
according to the tech dept of O² Germany that there is probably a bug in the software,
and that is why it is not possible to DISABLE it in Call Forwarding, when BUSY or UNREACHABLE.
is everyone else having the same issue with the set regardless the carrier?

As far as I know updates are pushed by Huawei. I don't see how or why the carrier should be involved. The only thing I have noticed is that after putting a Vodafone Sim in my device it automatically downloaded some Vodafone bloatware. But it does not affect the actual firmware or updates.
Back in the day the phones were locked and branded, had a Vodafone design preinstalled and the carrier name written on the back of the device. They therefore had a specially modified firmware which they were in charge of updating. But since all of that has disappeared there is no need for the carrier to get involved. Everybody wins, faster updates less effort.

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining.
Now, there were a couple of apps did actually automatically installed after I inserted/connected with the O² card.
One of them is still there "SIM-Toolkit", the other one I can't remember, I probably uninstalled it.
There was also a prompt for the SIM-PIN every time I restarted the device. I did manage to disable that.
And also, some O² Germany links (help/legal stuff) somewhere ... can't remember where too

A few days ago I read somewhere, that the carrier has an impact on the OTA. Somebody gave the advise to temporarily switch the SIM cards (from Telefonica o2 to Vodafone) and at the next boot he magically got a new OTA update. (Looks similar to windows 10's update channels) at least it's worth to try.

are you with O² Germany
I see some of you are residing in Germany, just wondering, how many of you are actually with O² Germany contract?
I have a question then!
9.0.0.210
today I received the official update. version 9.0.0.210
anyone else with O² Germany?
Anyone knows what's new with this from .198 ? I don't see much !
3 major issues for me are still there:
* no separate sound levels for sms/notifications & ringtone
* no separate sound for SIM2's sms as its ringtone
* no changes in auto-brightness

Did you also get the update yesterday? Or does it work randomly regardless the carrier !?
What I meant is that Auto Brightness indeed "works",
but you cannot turn it off permanently, it turns itself ON again after a restart.
And about the separate sounds, I think you should check it again ...
Ringtone, SMS, Notifications = they all have the same joint level,
while the Media, Alarms, Calls = do have their separate levels !

When will we get emui 9.1 update?

I thought it would be coming last July, but it's August and still no sign of updates.
When it's ready you'll get it ?
Wait until your turn to get the update. Mine got the update 3 days ago ?

Install hicare app from play store change your country as Singapore and check firmware update from app register for emui9. 1 and check systems update in settings. I got from this trick a month ago... But no major differences from 9.0 just caaler screen got changed like than small changes
Right lets get a few thing straight ..
1 - changing the country in hicare does nothing . The app cant be fooled !
2 - judging by the lack of response from questions i ask posters and the complete lack of screenshots of their alleged firmware updates
makes me think theres an awful lot of huawei employees on here trying to make the company look good with all the BS about i got the update , i got the update !!
This site used to be great years ago , now all we see is paid trolls !

I got the update on the 11th, and I’m in Europe. I had to go through the HiCare app. The phone is still a dumpster fire, ram management is still bad and accessibility services still get disabled randomly.
