Hello Experts,
I am new to Huawei and just bought a Huawei P8 which has software version GRA-L09V100R001C469B111. Googling makes me think it is an old version of software due to the last 4 digits of the build (B111), but I have not found a clear way to upgrade the telephone.
The Updater utility does not find any available upgrade. So, I would like to know if I can upgrade it to the latest version and how. Should I do it in steps, meaning loading different versions of software until I reach the last one? Or I could directly install the last one? Any way, where could I find those versions?
Thanks,
Rafael

Hello, All.
I am the new owner of a Mediapad X2 GEM-701L which i have unlocked and rooted.
The only issue is this unit seems to be on B001 (Android 5.0).
I have looked through the threads and most of them are ROMs for 702L/703L. I cant find anything for 701L.
Can i flash a rom from the others on mine?
Android version 5.0 has lots of bugs and the updater doesnt find any new version for me.
What to do ?
i am at a loss here and i figure my only option is to change the device model # to a 703L that way i can force an update.
is this the only way?
The GEM 703L has more support, so if you can change to this one it would be a good elecction.
what are the differences in the 3 models anyway? I realize one model has 32G storage and 3Gig ram.i believe thats the 703?
the one i have is 2/16

The main difference amongst the 3 models is the 4G/LTE band support. The URL below gives you the details under CONNECTIVITY section
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/tablets/tech-specs/mediapad-x2.htm
well i changed everything in the build.prop file that had the number 701 to 703 and did check for update and it said no update.
i even used HiSuite to check for updates. Nothing.
I am now wondering, if i put KangRom and flash with that will it work?

So far Huawei only focused on ROM development and upgrades for the 703.
Some 702 owners in this forum including myself had no issues flashing the 703 stock ROMs up to B109 (starting B106 it is Android 5.1.1) but with the limitation of not being able to switch SIM for the 4/3G. Other than this, the Android 5.1.1 works beautifully for me on my 702 and I prefer to stay on 5.1.1
I've not seen any 701 owner done the same so far.
If you want to try at your own risk below is a good detailed method by "eenap"

actually i saw that thread ...
at this point i am rather frustrated cause i dont want to end up with a bricked device.
if i had known this would be so much drama i would have bought a galaxy tab. (even though the mediapad is so nicer).
my only problem(s) right now is this:
in the thread you referenced to he has version above mine already installed. i have b001 which i assume is the lowest.
then
if i can find the original firmware just in-case i screw things over i can restore.

Original ROM hosted here including 701
https://yadi.sk/d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Rom/Original
But the 701 stock ROM listed above is B002 - are you sure yours is B001 ?
ya well i guess i am unlucky.
mine says GEM-701LV100R001C100B001
i saw your link and those updates are newer than mine. maybe i should grab both and see if i can do a local file update with them

My honor X2 (GEM-701L) is in B003, no update since i have it. Waiting for EMUI 3.1...
HELLO HUAWEI / HONOR, WAKE UP AND UPDATE MY X2...
Is there any new version for 6x thinks
write a legible question and you may get an answer
Latest is B163, I think... I can remember B125, B150, B160 and B163.
Latest is B163...my phone was on B150 when I got it in China but got the update few days back.
If you are talking about the latest model of the Honor 6X. Then the model supplied by Honor directly is probably the latest model available
Hi all,
I'm from the UK and have the Honor 8, was wondering when I might be receving the Android 7.0/Nougat update?
Reason being, I've bought the phone and don't want to start using it until the update is installed, I liked the look of the Beta ect..
Maybe there is a way to update it manually? My phone is stock btw.
Cheers.
Depending on the variant of the Honor 8 you have, the update should be rolling out shortly. If you're eager to update your phone however, there are various methods available that should allow you to update your phone to Nougat; just do a quick look through of the other subforums for the Honor 8and you'll find your answer.

Look at this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
Just skip root/debranding part. Charles method works seamlessly...
No I'm running N in FRD-L09 and it works great. It's really stable and EMUI5 is just amazing.

Just look for BLN-L21 firmware ending with 360 or 361.
Sent from my Honor 6X using XDA Labs
Just register your phone through HiCare and wait a couple of days. Push updater once in a while. Why use firmware finder ?

I purchased my Honor 8 recently from Amazon.
I received model number FRD-L24. I can't find any information about this on Huawei site, this site or the sub reddit. Can anybody shed some light on what is going on with this model number? I am also desperate for the stock boot.img if anyone has access to it.

FRD-L24 doesn't exist as we know. It could be an old test device.
EDIT
As I can read the only site where It is nominated was FCC so I'm more sure about test device.
Wich version of EMUI have It?

Version is 5.0.3
I don't think you have to worry... And you can't make rebrand anyway
