the link for b209 to b211 is not working, can you please post a working link. Thank you for uploading.
wtf... all the updates only for 703.... 701 is so hated
There is a way to run the 703L Roms on your 701L. I donated to the same guy who posts the kangvip ROM and he walked me thru it step by step. I think he's still accepting donations, it's worth a try.

there is another simplier way to update the b211 without using TWRP for non power users:
1. place the update.zip file (b211) in the DLOAD folder
2. open the phone app and type: *#*#2846579159#*#*
3. now push the HOTA at the end of the list
4. update starts
i had to create the DLOAD folder on the SD card and place the update.zip file in it.
the DLOAD folder on the internal storage did not work for me.
it worked perfect on my 703.
thanks so much y'all

There is some action on Huawei Forum. As I can understand there is full official Android 6 update to P8 Max, but for now it is limited to 500 downloads per day and with very limited bandwith. To get it we have to install updates to Huawei stock apps and click few options. I have managed to get to the download point where it prompts that limit has been reached.
Update image file name ends with ...029_211.
hi! once you put the beta, when the offical anfroid 6 will be released, what will happen ? you have to update manually ? thank you

Probably don't need if you are on the latest 211.
For those on B029 can you all verify that using the HiCare can update directly from B029 to B211? It seems that they are already releasing the B211 as public OTA but it has to be activated via the HiCare app
thank you, I tried an update 1hour ago ( i have b029) by Hicare and no update were available i'll see tonight

Yes, updated HiCare give us the option for direct OTA update from 029 to 211, but there is 500 downloads per day limit. After two days I gave up and used "dload folder" method described on the forum to update first to 209 than to 211. No need for root, unlock boot or TWRP.

Great! Do you have any issues installing the Google contact sync and running Playstore?

Yes, I could not find contacts and calendar sync apps in the Huawei Store. I used Google Play Services image (version 9.0.83 440-121911109) from the apkmirror.com to extract and install two small apk files for contacts and calendar synchronization. Used "Google Play Store 6.5.08.D-all [0] 2792142" from the same site. No problems.
Most of the things works fine for now. Few things that I have noticed:
- There are some minor glitches with animation when unlocking the phone with password. No way to turn it off.
- They changed locations of the settings, so it takes time to locate all of them.
- Yellow pages number suggestions in the caller app are so annoying for me. No way to turn it of.
- All apps from the Play Store installed as usual, except Sygic Navigation. When it start to download some additional files, Play Store crash.
- Browsing is not responsive as used to be, both on WiFi and 3G. Not sure why, looks like there is some delay when a lot of small files has been downloaded. Speed is OK with big files.
- There is only 3 options for DPI in EMUI 4. No more per app setting, and it looks a bit strange if you choose smallest setting. Everything becomes smaller (the way I like it), but icons in the home screen stays big and not so sharp.
I'm looking for tutorial for safe root on Android 6, so I can remove most of Huawei Apps.
Sorry guys, I have the dav version 701L and European rom DAV-701LV100R001C100B002 I upgrade? Or should I wait version via OTA? You can help me? Thank you very much
B211 must be still in beta phase! I can't beleive it will be final ROM for P8 Max. Such a vaste of hardware potential.
It is obvious in so many small places (like notifications and shortcuts) that it is not yet scaled for our big screen. Also there is strange and annoying lag from time to time. Antutu score droped from 47000 in 5.1 to 42000 in this version. Every task that reqires network connectin is slower than in 5.1.
I have tried hard reset, but nothing improved.

Apparently, they don't feel too confident about this release and hence earlier beta testers spent half a year evaluating it and I guess they got "most" of the bugs squashed but not 100% yet. I feel that there will be another release after this version that should stabilize most issues like lag, slow network, crashes, etc.

I want believe that is the true, and that's what's keeping me from unlocking and rooting. B211 is usable, it just feels much more unpolished and laggy than B029. This is my first Chinese phone, and it was very pleasant surprise in hardware department.
Huawei is not some unknown brand in my country, most of major telecom companies offer their flagships phones on contract. Let's hope they can manage to produce stable software release in next few weeks.
Main reason for me to rush for the B211 was the problem with notifications. I have tried all possible options but notifications from apps like Ebay or XDA just does not work. It did not improve a thing, I still get notifications only from Gmail, SMS and phone. Is that some kind of policy from Huawei or what?
And why on Earth did they switch "Messages" tab for "Yellow pages" in dailer app? Every time I type the number in, the phone offers to call some restaurant or flower shop in China!?
hi, it seems that it's not possible to create a guest account with b211 ?

Notification works for me, you probably need to give the application permission to allow them to post notification. After testing 211 for a couple of days, I've decided to go back to B029 because that's more stable for me.

yes you should .. it beautiful design , it has nice animation , smart wifi , smaller dpi and more feature ..
if it not better than kitkat .. at least the same .
Rather go for B326, that one has been a winner for me so far
I'm holding off and waiting to see what happens with Marshmallow. There's not enough incentive for me to flash Lollipop. Kitkat works well.
Just update your phone. Having a bug or two on the Mate 7 LP doesn't really matter because you can always downgrade back to KK.
If you feel that LP is better, then good for you. If not, you can always downgrade.
Use the kangvip rom its awesome works perfect.

In my own experience the best Rom in terms of battery lifce would be B120 (I have a TL10) though it had notification bugs. The advantage for me with LP is more on the aesthetic side. I was able to make the Blackberry launcher and some of the other Priv apps work just fine, and also able to flash the mod to make the status bar change color to get that material design look. I was also able to flash the Google contacts and call UI files (and deleted the stock EMUI incallUI) so I get more of that stock Lollipopy feel instead of having EMUI. That said I guess for now the best would be using Kang VIP, as Xposed works on it (and once it does you can untick "Disable Resource Hooks") to make the theming modules work. Battery life with Kang VIP is much better thus far too as compared to stock Lollipop.
Which has better battery life? What do you think?
With the latest kangvip I had 6hours sot and about 18 hours phone on all up, that's using my phone constantly.

In the recent apps list, my browser goes missing. Sometimes, but rarely, it reappears.
The browser app is Boat Browser. I've tried both restart and reinstall.
Fir what I know it's the only app with this behaviour.
Chrome works ok, it shows up in the list.
I suspect one the many per-app permission Android 6.0 gives us, but haven't been able to fix it by changing them different ways.

Hi clsA, great to hear!
Do you mean you're on Android 7.0/Nougat?
This update has not been made available where I live (Sweden), if that's the solution you're suggesting.
Also, are you running Boat Browser as well?
Cheers
I'm just telling you it's fixed in Nougat. Yes I'm using Boat browser
Sent from my FRD-L04 using Tapatalk
OK, but Nougat is only in beta for Honor 8, and only in UK, so unfortunately this is no solution for me (OTA update scheduled for sometime February according to newssites).
When you say Nougat fixes the problem, did you have the problem yourself on Nougat? Or are you stating that the problem is non-present on Nougat?
Cheers!
Maybe the app isn't compatible with Marshmallow.
Hi DarkGuyver, that may be so - how do I check that?
(On Google Play the latest update says "Fix bug for Android 6.0 or above", so should be compatible AFA the company says).
Cheers!

Hej
Not really only in Uk...I got OTA update January 4 to Android 7.0 + EMUI 5.0 in Sweden...
Boat Browser not showing in MM Recents
I don't have Honor but I've had the same problem with Boat Browser disappearing from Recents in MM.... Solved by downgrading to 8.7.1 :cyclops:
THANX! Downgrading to 8.7.1 did it.
(Just make sure you uninstall BB before installing apk, otherwise it will not install).
Today got Nougat 7.1 update.
Russian Federation.
For firmware file look at this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73257562&postcount=13
Does not show up in Germany yet.
Did you get a changelog?

Yep, but it is also in russian.
Sowwy for my bad english:
- Android updated to 7.1.1
- Latest security patch from Google
- Improved performance and stability
- Fixed some applications issues
Interesting. I'm quite sure this was meant for the Beta ZTE announced some time ago. Anyways, let us know how it runs.
Well, it works fine since update.
As i wrote - phone looks less responsive than B12 for me.
Battery lifetime looks same...
upd: now i feel that battery works some better.
Launcher looks same as before (4.2 MiFavor now).
Dual window mode supported now (bottom right button long press). Also notification settings button available now. AndroidPay included into settings menu and works even w/o installed application (idk if it was into B12). HiFi headphones button included into default music application near DolbyAtmos button. Also widget was changed.
As i know from 4pda forum one more man from RF got update too, but that's all. A lot of people still waiting for update there.
Some images (Idk how to correctly upload images here. Be carefull! This image hosting needs to be used with AdBlock only):
-------------
UPD: - Before this update DolbyAtmos used profile for current task (video, music, games...), now it uses only profile you selected.
- Screen auto-rotation become turned off after reboot.
I am getting the update now as well.

I think the UK version isn't a standard build. We have a MR version (Merchant Release). It's a company specific distro release and seems to be alien to the rest of all standard update releases. We seem to have been forgotten by ZTE, we didn't get the chance to purchase a full AXON 7 and we seem to get the dregs from the company. And, to top it all off, our customer services is akin to a dam ghost. Useless is a kind word.
Happy Holidays everyone.
It's December the 26th and I've just received a new firmware for my CN imported LIO-AL00 M30P - updated using their HiCare app set to China under the region settings.
LZPlay still working, none of my apps broke, native camera updated to .150 and all-round smooth sailing so far.
I was surprised it included the December patches and as once again, we get camera improvements! This is probably the first time I've ever seen a firmware update so close to the holiday season so just feel like saying props to Huawei for working hard :victory:
fuxking ****! I am still at .154 ,but I have L_29 international version
Clear support app cache and system update app cache to force the new update in.
I just had a look on HiCare app, and it shows this update...I'm on UK regional settings (I think). It is also, 10.0.181 (C00E180R5P3), 619MB - downloading now

Not much you can do with that. As per the gpl they have to release the kernel source. If you had root and recovery you could use it to build a custom kernel but since we don't it will be of no use. But Android 11 shouldn't be too much longer.
Just received Android 11 OTA update today for my LM-G900EM (Europe).
No issues so far, and good news: they finally fixed the VPN bug when switching to WiFi!
Received G900EM20b-EEA-XX update yesterday and lost mobile data connectivity. I thought maybe location (GPS) needs to be enabled for data to work in Android 11 but that's not the case.
BTW other changes: color of status icons and toggable icons changed, "emergency alerts" app was installed
EDIT: just needed to manually re-add APN entry for internet

Not much is different, emojis were changed in android 11 so that was quite noticeable and I used to use pixel launcher but now it doesn't work
So things I have noticed:
IoT integration in the Power menu to get the payment cards... doesnt work at all, not sure if its a geographic location lock or something (canada)
If I click open a notification from the lockscreen and unlock using fingerprint ... there is a janky finger print animation thing... which causes the fingerprint icon to keep displaying randomly on the screen :/
There seem to be 2 system emoji fonts installed... One LG and one is google cuz gboard shows the google version in messages app but otherwise the system shows the LG ones
Lockscreen for some reason only displays conversation notifications for me by default i have to swipe down which pulls down the notification tray to show all the "notification" section items
LG launcher STILL does not have auto sort by alphabetical order
Scrolling and general slugishness in the system that existed in android 10 is definitely gone
LG and their sad state of software ...
After update I feel like system is kinda unstable. I am constantly getting UI freezed. Except few changes in quick settings panel and chat bubbles, I do not see any changes and improvements.
I don't know if I'm imagining things but the fingerprint sensor seems to be a lot worse, the brightness has gone down and battery drains a lot faster, camera is a lot slower. I can't see anything that's been improved going to downgrade it back to the old version its unbearable.
Hi all, just received my Android 11 update on my Velvet LTE in Belgium.
Hello, is there a way to flash back from Android 11 to Android 10.
I have a LG Velvet 4G LM-G910EMW (Germany).
I would be very grateful for any links or tips.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, pretty sure you can downgrade to Android 10. You can use LGUP, just make sure you download android 10 KDZ from http://lg-roms.com/
