Hi, has everyone received their 4.4.3 update as I'm still waiting to receive mine also some are getting the 4.4.4 now so it seems a bit strange! Also does anyone know if I can update manually?
Thanks

you don't want 4.4.3 and they stopped it anyway, 4.4.4 has not been rolled out in the uk yet as far as i can tell from these forums.

It's far more complicated than that.For the moment the UK Moto Gs are still on 4.4.2 (which is actually a good thing).
Even if it comes out these days, I won't be updating, until the don't release a bugfix to patch all the issues with 4.4.4

Can tell you only few that I find significant. But the full list is quite extensive.
OTG doesn't work at all.
The proximity sensor gets stuck/ doesn't react while incall.
Loss of Wi-Fi and 3G signal for no reason.
Your device emmc gets re-petitioned and may get bricked.
Some poorly written, but useful apps doesn't run
Miracast doesn't work from time to time.
The vast majority of issues are due to upgrading via OTA update. I've Fastboot flashed the 4.4.3 US firmware image and had none of these problems.

In which sense bud? I mean, when i flashed ota for kk over jb i haven't had any problem. Do you mean in this sense?
I'm only suggesting if people are having issues; download the full firmware, wipe phone and flash via fastboot.

True. But that image does work perfectly fine on a UK / EU XT1032.
Hi, I have a serious question. I recently bought my LG G3 D850 AT&T version and I'm loving it. I rooted it and removed AT&T bloatware. I was wondering will I still get OTA update of lollipop? One more thing I don't live in the States, would I get the OTA through Google or AT&T or do I have to manually install it ? . Thanks

Yes you will still get lollipop, if you use ota you will lose root and the bloat will come back, also the ota will come through att on your phone, if you want lollipop now i recommend installing CM12, i did and i love it

Check it out. You can stop ota.

Thanks so it really doesn't matter if I live in states or in Asia ? Still will get the OTA update through AT&T? I dont have AT&T contract I think this phone was unlocked when I bought it. CM 12 is stable ? can you pls give me the direct link for it ? Or should I wait for the OTA from AT&T (which is still hard to believe that will get the update from them since I live in Asia not the USA). Thanks

Its got some bugs, id wait until theyre sorted out, and since you live in Asia id recommend flashing Cloudy G3 as its based off the international rom, and soon he should update it to lollipop, also i wouldnt flash the ota from ATT as you could lose root and most important Bump,
Hey guys,
If anyone's interested, my P9 just received the OTA for L09C636B361. This is on an unlocked/unbranded Australian handset. Obviously, I've immediately started the download...
Time to start mashing that "Check for Updates" button if you're in Australia I guess
Excited! Time to spam the update button

Nothing yet
Might want to check tru HiCare , and go through the early adopters button ...
Still nothing, sure I'll get something eventually..
i have the l09c34b140 and i live in australia (got it from virgin mobile australia on plan). is there anyway for me to convert to yours?
I am on EVA-L09C34B140 as well, heres hoping that we will get some Nougat goodness soon. I got Android 7 running no my old S4 and cant wait till the P9 officially gets an update.
I'm on the same EVA-L09C34B140 and also nothing yet. I bought my P9 outright, but it came with an annoying Optus boot and shutdown screen that I was hoping be rid of with an update, although I'm not too sure that'll be the case.

L09C34 is the Optus version, I got mine outright as well. I dont understand why Huawei will make an Australian model for Optus, a different model for Vodaphone and a unbranded model. They should of just made one model for all of Australia and a tool for carriers to put in their own boot animations.
Chances are, we will not get an update till Optus push through an update for this model. The model the OP has (L09C636), probably has his update pushed through by Huawei directly.
Ah, figures - a familiar story. I had the same issue with my old SG Note 2 which would have been waiting ages for an AU update via Telstra, but rooting it with a Nordic ROM saved me 18 months of waiting. I guess I have to suffer the Optus boot screen post-update though.

dyu reckon we should debrand and just install the unbranded model (if possible) or do we just idle :/
damn it just flashed to B320

If I could practice on someone else's Optus-tainted P9 first I'd then give it a go on mine
The process appears rather more convoluted than my previous Android ROM flashing experience. I think I might wait a bit longer.
i'm on exactly the same firmware( C636B190, which is updated from B168 through OTA) as the OP had before receiving B361..
However I had received nothing.
I bought mine outright at JB HiFi and got the OTA on Thursday night - posted to Whirlpool as well. I received notification when I checked the update entry in settings. Not an early adopter nor rooted or downloaded via the HiCare app.
As for the different firmwares blame that on the carrier not Huawei - Optus, Telstra et al are always slow - best check their websites or ask their Twitter/FB accounts for the timeframe.
Loving the updated EMUI 5.0. :laugh:
Unbranded Australian C636 here and still on B190, check for updates button nearly getting worn out!!
Got the Nougat update last night. Notification details are very hard to read. Almost white on white text. Anyone else got this, or knows how to fix it?
See screenshot attached.

@Tecalote is working on the Nougat version of the NewWorld rom. Chances are, he will probably release this before Optus roll out the EMUI 5.0 update. If you really want EMUI 5.0, you can always flash L09C636B361 via the Huawei tools, then it will be a debranded AU version.

Hi there,
I just received my Honor 8 from Gearbest with the stock firmware FRD-L09C636B130.
The issue is that doesnt matter which region i choose the OTA updater doesnt find anything. Its frustrating since everyone else is already running Nougat.
Does anyone know how to force the update?
PS: I currently live in New Caledonia, which is a French territory on the Pacific.
Thanks!!
Be sure to update the HiCare app to the latest version. Then you will receive the Nougat update in 1-2 days. I received mine the day after purchasing the phone and upgrading HiCare

hi. i just had same situation and solved it with "HW firmware finder" . i cant assure you anything but you should try . so far Nougat and emui 5 is great.
64gb , bought from gearbest, so i thInk we were In the same situation.
firmware : B130 → B360. dont forget to backup your data.
you can install an app called hw firmware finder on google play store. you dont need bootloader unlock or anythIng like that. basically app helps you to OTA update manually. there is an thread about how to use this app. so you can fInd it easily
Hi,
With the latest update, I got the faceunlock funktionality. If I try to the register my face, I always get the error message, that face recognition is not possible. Any Ideas?
I heve similar issue. My Honor came wiht 80.0.120 software. There is no face unlock full option. Only locscreen messages. OTA can't see any other (130) update. I have bought this phone in Germay and I am using it in Poland. Any ideas?
Hello, I just got this phone yesterday. It came with 120 (C432) software version and the November security patch. To be able to Face unlock the device, we have to have build version 130 with January security patch. I'm still waiting for the update to hit my Honor View 10.
Is there any way to update it to 8.0.0.130 manually? Honor Poland claims that I can't get official OTA update becouse my region is not supproted.
I have recieved information from Germn Honor Customer Service that my phone will be updated not later than 19th March 2018. Maybe yours also will be affected in the same time.

Where did you get your phone from? Is it unlocked?
I got mine from Amazon.de last week and it was on 80.0.120 but updated itself to 8.0.0.130 (C432) immediately after first boot.
I have bought it in Poland. But it is from german distribution. I do not know if it is unlocked? I don't think so. It is strange. I thought that it will update after first boot. But nothing happened.
I received several updates over HiCare, but didn't get the 130 update. Did anyone tried to update via HiSuite?

Guys,
you're definetly offtopic...
I just got the info from Huawei Germany, that face recognition is not yet released. You can see it but not use it.

No. All stock.
No problem with 130 OTA and face unlock. I'm in Switzerland, bootloader unlocked, not (yet) rooted.

Now it's rooted, still ok. Even with this settings :
Works well. It depends on how you have configured, as per attached

Not yet, but I think that the last day is 22. March, so there are 3 days to go.
This is a new message from honor service:
thank you very much for your reply on this case.
It usually takes up to 8 weeks after this release date to complete the roll out within 4 waves of updates being sent out.
For the current time being, I can only kindly ask for your patience, you will definitely receive the update until the 12th May via OTA (Over-the-Air) as download notification on your phone.

Basically they keep pushing the ETA to further date.... nice. [emoji16]Just like Honor USA open source masquerade (aka advertising).
I contacted the German support yesterday once again regarding the update and they manually requested it for me. Basically I have to wait for 2 more months for the update, and I'm still on 120 version. I'm very disappointed with the Honor right now.
