Any news about when Honor 6 C900B521 (Western Europe) can expect Marshamallow? One guy claims he installed official Marshmallow C432B820 version (from hihonor UK) on C900B521 device and apparently it works like a charm without any problem.
I'm not very good with tech so I have no idea if it's even possible. And I don't want to try because I'm scared to brick my device.
I'm not sure when an over-the-air update will be offered, but you might want to check hihonor.com to see whether your country has a downloadable Marshmallow update there. B521 was the one I updated from as well (I updated to North Africa image).

My country is Lithuania so we don't get updates just for this state. If I understood correct, you also updated your device with a version intended for another region and it works without any problem? I know B521 will probably get an official 6.0 update sooner or later but I just got tired of waiting
http://www.hihonor.com/pl/support/details/?DOC_ID=80743 I'm from Poland and the update for my country is for Lithuania as well. This is full image, I have no idea when, or even if, OTA is available in the updater in Settings.

Just received an unbranded new 920F that is on C0I9 firmware and appears to be from the UAE. Sammobile shows a QOLK from TIM Italy dated Jan 4 2016.
What is the latest firmware I need without getting carrier specific bloat installed (if possible). I don't want UAE firmware.
Thanks!

Thanks.. Is this branded to a French network with boot logo and bloatware? I'm so confused with with these international versions. Also, how will future updates be delivered? I'm on AT&T.

Hi. Yeah...I'm using international versions now as well. You can get updates via Kies...but I've noticed some regions get updates faster and at different times. I've found just keep track of unbranded and Odin them when u feel like upgrading. My phone was originally UAE...I just turned it into DDE (German) OK2 firmware. Runs great....ZERO bloat. It's awesome. I'm on TMO
France XEF gets fast updates trust me, and about bloadtwares it's good enough for me so is for u i hope, and no special boot logo only the original
cheers
I am unable to flash any firmware with odin without error, can you help?
EDIT: On Oreo now.
EDIT:
Is you're stock at an "old" version and the "normal" way of updating via OTA dosn't work try this:
Go to system update setting,
Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select download latest full package.
That should give you the latest Nougat updates.
For Oreo: Try to use HiSuite
Not all countries receive updates at the same time. Even not all phones in the same country.
If you have automatic update enable you'll receive a notification.
Hope so your model belong to the UK (Not sure). If it is UK model, you will get the update within the first batch of release.
If you belong to any other region it takes time. But you will get it for sure.
Depends on the sponsors in your region, your carrier...

No, my model don't "belong" to the UK. I live in Denmark and bought the phone in Denmark.
Don't know if you mean UK model as in European model.
I bought the phone off-contract (it's not branded it anything), so it's not depending on any carrier.
Well I as have understood it, there is no UK version, only a European version (for Europe).
I have the same model and got the b120 update a few days after it was reported here (i guess most here have the US model). The b150 seems to take longer though

Strange? I received and installed B160 and phone info reports I'm on android 6.0
I have model frd al10
Does this mean higher ota version number not necessarily higher version of Android?
Seems like there are 3 versions (regions) of Honor 8.
EU, US and Chinese versions. (32 and 64 gb)
Anyone knows or can confirm which models have what versions of Android, as the latest available as we speak?
Seems like the EU (FRD-L09/AL19) version is running Android 6.0 - B120 (unbranded - not carrier depending)

All are running in 6.0 update. However some region would have got 6.0.1 update. Some regions would have not got it.
Always there will be one incremental update difference (maximum) between the regions. As all regions wont get the update in the same time.
Ok, let me put it this way: Has anyone with the FRD-L09 model received the B150/6.0.1 update yet?
B141 is out of the box. B150 is slowly being distributed still.
I don't think Asian and EU/US release codes are the same.
India 32GB = FRD-L02 firmware so there's more than 3 regional firmware types
The latest firmware for L09C432 is B131 and that is the EU region, L09C636 is Asia, L09C185 is Africa/Middle East, US is L04, India is L02.
Is not just the modell like L09 that says where your phone is from, is the Cust, like C432, C636, C185, then there is Branded phones like C02 is Vodafone, C55 is TIM Italy and so on....
So for your version if u are from Denmark u should have C432 the latest is B131.
Then we have China modells like AL10 and DL00, C10....
U have a thread with latest firmware here.

Yes, I have the C432 model. However my current build is: FRD-L09C432B120, and there is no update, if I check with the "Updater". The phone was shipped with version FRD-L09C432B120, so so far I haven't installed any updates...

It might be a Beta version. Wait for the bugs to get fixed and get a stable update as OTA
If you need now, you can update manually.
B150 is on the way. Major release.

I have a c636 for a little more than a week now.
I am not in Malaysia though... Actually in Trinidad and Tobago
Would I get notifications to update via system update here?
Reading the posts here I see some say i would need a Malaysia sim card... But others don't.
Right now I'm on b158 (phone came with this installed)
Any clarification here would be much appreciated
I've always used a T-Mobile sim in the United States and I've gotten updates without C636 region sim.

B172 just published on Mar 16 but OTA rollout depends on which country SIM. Only Huawei knows
My past experience if you're on Malaysia or Taiwan SIM you may get OTA update notification within 1-3 weeks.
I'm in Singapore but I used my Malaysia prepaid SIM to get OTA updates coz the Singapore SIM usually almost the longest before getting OTA updates

Would it have worked for you with your default Singapore sim if you just waited?
The rest of us with the c636 in the West were a bit in the dark with that to do.... Especially with this strange funky update method
Thanks again
Yes but for whatever reasons Singapore SIM update is always much longer than Malaysian SIM. That's why I usually use my Malaysian SIM to check and download OTA update
B158 is the latest official update
B172 is latest official since Mar 16.
Just a matter of which country SIM that Huawei choose to schedule the OTA
I don't really mind waiting a couple of weeks for an update. So long as it's not addressing some critical security flaw anyway. I just hope they keep bringing them on a regular basis and don't just abandon the phone once they release a new model.

If I remember correctly I got it like a week or so after I saw a post on here for B158. So hopefully a similar delay again not sure when B172 came out though might have already been a week.

Hello good people of the XDA forums,
I live in Canada and recently ordered a Galaxy A51 off of Amazon, only to find out it is apparently the Latin American version of the SM-A515F variant. Using my Canadian sim card, will I be able to get get OTA updates on this phone from Samsung or not? If it comes to it at the end of the day, I suppose I could live with manually updating with Odin (how that works I have yet to find out), but I'd definitely not prefer it. As of this moment I'm still stuck with the December 1st security patch and version A515FXXU1ASL1. I got this phone just this Friday and didn't even receive an update as I was setting it up, which certainly worried me.
Also, and on a related note, because this is the Latin American version, NFC is disabled. Is that something that could be changed as well/be fixed in the future?
Thank you so much for your help y'all

I am also canadian who purchased international version on purpose(easy to root international)as soon as i put in my sim i recieved an OTA notice.
Mine happens to be panama latin america. I recieved u2ata8 update. Whatever you do,DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING BUT INTERNATIONAL FIRMWARE VIA ODIN. IF YOU FLASH CANADA FIRMWARE ON INTERNATIONAL VARIATIONS THEN YOU WILL HARD BRICK. Also you will get odin fail if you have U2 in your firmware. Cannot roll back to U1

If I'm not getting prompted for similar updates does that mean I'm probably not going to be getting OTA updates? I believe my phone is the Panama version as well.

I definitely haven't gotten any updates. Is there any reasonable reason why I'm not getting updates but you are? I'm with Public Mobile, if that makes a difference. Would it have something to do with my sim card? The country code on my phone is TPA, which from what I've seen is the Latin America/Panama model.

Western Europe won't get it to December they said but I just hope we can get a downloadable version first, someone is bound to post a download file
they said the beta yes
The beta version will not be available for Europe due to GDPR (I have no idea what this has to do with it). The official version for europe will be available from December.
