Mate 8 model identification to upgrade to EMUI 4.1 - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I would like to update to EMUI 4.1 but I am not even able to identify the Mate 8 model I own....
Looking at "Settings", "About", it says :
Model: Next
Build: NXT-C900B12
Looking through the dialer menu (* # * # 2846579 # * # *), it says:
Hardware version: NEXT_TUCL_VN2
This is a 128Gb Mate 8 Dual SIM, bought in China.
Can anybody help me to identify the model and even better which OTA, if any..., I may apply to upgrade to 4.1?
Thx a lot !

this sounds like an AL10 thats been flashed with an L29 international firmware...

how I Can update Via OTA . every time tell me no UPdate found .... what should I do ?

Try flashing an oeminfo from the L29 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-t3369797
I had the same problem as you, was trying to transform an AL10 into L29, and after flashing the oeminfo I was able to successfully see it as an L29 device, and as such use the dload method to flash 4.1 (I reverted to 180 though).

May I ask why you reverted to B180?

I got worse battery life and performance on B320, not sure if that's just me, but I've seen others complain about it as well. I may upgrade when the next build is released, but for now I'm staying on B180.

New firmware Honor 6 plus

Today i recieved new firmware b147 replacing b142. I downloaded the file on the phone but the installation stops after 10 procent. The same when i try this using the computer.
Anyone else having this problem ? i live in Belgium.
I too have the same problem. I root permissions .... does anyone know where to try the updated firmware that you can install pramite sd card?
thanks
@nortac: Since you downloaded the B147 update, would it be possible for you to upload the update? I am on B142 also, but I do not receive this new update. My phone is not rooted and still locked.
As far as I know, to install an update the phone needs to have stock recovery installed!
Hi GUys,
You will need stock recovery to update and possibly no root.
Can you upload the update file so we can also update to B148. For some reason i am not getting the update.
Thanks!!!
Hello to all. There are no news for the upgrade? I'm in Italy and my Honor 6 plus has been taken from Amazon (EUVersion PE-TL10).
I have not received anything . I am still the B142 .
I got the same problem i am stuck on 1.42 on my honor 6+

Just successfully OTA updated to version B147.
57.81 MB download, update took 5 min.
Android still v. 4.4.2.
PE-TL10 international unbranded, bought from Amazon.
No unlock, no root.
[
Updated both my wifes phone and mine to version B147 with no problems, European versions bought from Amazon Germany......looking forward to Lollipop, would like to become a tester but cant see where to do that.
I´ve heard, that this requires an account to hihoner-club
Here the German Version: http://www.hihonor.com/de/pages/my-honor/club
But I think, that testers are only members from Italy and France at the moment.
Thats right. But it's also beeing tested in the netherlands.
Just received this morning B305 update (1.05GB): Lollipop + EMUI 3.1.
I'm based in Italy and bought the phone on Amazon.it a few days ago (I mailed to Honor I wanted to partecipate in beta testing as per their Facebook page).
B305 is the beta 5.1.1 firmware for the European honor 6 plus.

Unfortunately, I'm going to send back the device to Amazon. Too big for me.
From what I've seen so far, the update looks promising. EMUI has a few aesthetic improvements (in my opinion).

I do not know what that is, but you are probably looking for that:

If your model is a european device, than I would suggest, you install B142 and than wait for the B147 OTA update.
Use Google search for Pine-TL10_V100R001C900B142.zip

i too am an MTN mate 7 owner for about 5 months now and did the journey from kitkat to marshmallow BUT i did'nt wait and i flashed a beta version b511 which does not have an upgrade path to b560.

it's done well and seems working very fine:laughexcept model name thingy. my model name changed to "NEXT", not L29)
now im running C900B133.
B133 is too old so i tried to update to B180 or above but i can't do that.
i found many uodate full package such as "NXT-L29C185B180(full) - update.zip"
i wanted to use force update (dial "*#*#2846579 #*#*), so i placed UPDATE.APP to /dload in SDcard and i reflash stock recovery, and tried that call No.
system rebooted and update process start normally but it stuck at 5%. it say "incompatible update data" like something.
i tried many other regions update.zips but everyone said same error.
can anyone guide me how to update my mate8?
thank you for reading my bad english i wish u can understand what i mean.

Change the model from al10 to international seems quite difficult. Can I just download the international rom and just press three key to flash?
Changing the model is a tough thing!

Honor 8 Frd-L09C185 Ota update query

Hello Fellow Members,
I have bought this phone 2 months back from Abu Dhabi when I was there for vacations. The phone variant as mentioned above is Frd-L09C185. Now I am back in India (Mumbai). I am a bit confused with the OTA updates part. My query is now that I am here will I get the OTA meant for Indian Variant or the EU Variant ( I guess that's what L09 belongs to). Secondly if me suppose to receive the updates for the European Variant will I receive them here in India. I want my phone to be updated to the latest version. My current version is FRD-L09c185B102 where is guess B102 is the os version. Request all you experienced guys to please help clear my query. Thanks in advance.

I think its middle east variant. You won't get Indian version update. As India has FRD-02.
So is there no way to update phone over OTA? I don't wanna do it manually as I don't wanna take a risk of damaging it. I am currently on B102 OS version and when I try to update it I am told there are no updates available. So if my phone is from middle east can't it be updated in India?

You will receive the Nougat update. But it will take more months to reach you are you are in Middle East version (Less prioritized)

Seems that your region got the Bet update version today.
If you are enrolled in Beta, you would have got it - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v68848/f1/full/update.zip
You can try with Charles trick to update this one.

ok. Did you receive this update after coming down to India or while you were in Abu Dhabi?
I had received this update - B130 immediately after the purchase in Dubai in Dec 2016 and after that havent received any update.
Try this don´t worry
Tried the Charles app method.. Quite a few times. The update was just 1.39 GB not the 2.2 gb because of which The update failed and dint try there after. Guess will now have to wait for the official push(sigh). I have no issues with EMUI 4.1 currently and in fact quite happy with it. Just bcos of the eagerness to upgrade don't want to brick the phone, especially since Huawei doesn't have international warranty policy.
Is vote support extended by Huawei to honor 8 FRD-L09 model? I am in India and would love to have the volte feature. As of now on LTE is available. Had read somewhere that VOLTE would be soon provided via software update. Also heard that Indian variant FRD-02 has received the VOLTE support

There is an easier and much safer way to update if you still have a SIM card of the country you purchased the phone from. It doesn't even have to be active anymore. Just insert it and reboot, then connect to wifi and all the updates will pop up.
Hope that helps

I don't think it matters. Bought a USA C567 for a friend and he is using it in Europe with European sim and he got the C567 Oreo before me. I still didn't get mine. I believe all firmwares are eventually approved for all imei's in a certain model, like model L29. You can check old FF's on the FF app for older firmware and you will see it is approved for almost every region. At least my USA phone is...

Believe it or not but it matters! Maybe your friend activated the C567 phone with a European SIM card and that's why he receives updates.
I bought a C636 phone in Cambodia and am constantly traveling around South East Asia. I never receive updates of any kind but the moment I insert a Cambodian SIM card the updates pop up.

Where do you get "oeminfo.bin"? There's a thread with a collection of them but all for Nougat... If the phone is currently on Oreo and want to rebrand staying on Oreo... I can use those Nougat oeminfos?

Well, if I had read it more carefully I would've said you need to downgrade to Nougat.
But it's done if you follow the instructions.
Sorry for the misinformation.
Edit: Though, with an oeminfo.bin from Oreo you should be able to rebrand straight to Oreo.
You could always ask mankindtw, he should know.
