Marshmallow for the DAV-701L. Is this real life?? - Huawei P8max

I went today looking for my daily dose of disappointment looking for the update or any news of it, only to come across this.
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/huawei-p8-max-dav-701l-b203-marshmallow-update-asia-pacific/
Super hyped, i am only wondering can i flash this on a European DAV-701L?
It mentions somethins for a CUSTC which is not the same as mine but it IS a DAV-701L.
Your thoughts on this?

Nice, mine is CUSTC100D002. Don't know if it will work, not want to brick my phone

Just like mine, it is also CUSTC100D002. I am on the verge of flashing but i am having second thoughts...

Good find. Thanks for the news. It is definitely the genuine Firmware update for the P8Max and the link provided is directly from an official Huawei server. I downloaded it just for the sake of it as my CUSTC number is for Middle East and noticed it also has an OTA update section in a separate folder. However, when updating it stated incompatible firmware and aborted the process-no harm done to the device or existing settings. I wish someone could find a way to change the default CUSTC numbers so that we could mess around with it.
I would say if anyone is looking for the version for their own phones then simply go to the Huawei support section on their website and just keep an eye on the downloads section to see if your version pops up.
So it looks that we are finally beginning to see the Android M coming our way but it sure is a slow and painful journey.

I have it installed. Everything works perfect.

what region are you in ?!!!!

I am in Romania, Europe. My phone is a Huawei P8 Max DAV-701 and the CUST was very different that that in the update. Everything works perfect. I have double tap you wake function and other new functions.

Hi! Could you kindly explain how you managed to install this update on your P8 Max. My one is the Middle East [Kuwait] version of the firmware. Also does anyone know what to do with the flashable OTA update folder in the separate folder found inside the download pack?

Well, after reading the friend from Romania succeeded, i tried it myself with my CUSTC100D002 and it sailed through the installation... No problems, just rebooted, doing a check and will get back...

I did exactly like in the tutorial that you will find at the link post above, were you find the rom.

Huawei browser is missing, Huawei Swype keyboard is missing, launcher seems to have only 4x4 and 4x5 settings (pretty sure the original 5.1.1 had a 5x5 also.)....
Quite disappointed so far...

I've had with those a-holes. One step forward, 10 steps back. Going to ask for a refund on this POS. No respect towards the buyer/user whatsoever.

I like the update, don't use the Huawei apps. I love the EMUI 4.0 themes, use Dark Ui theme now

Literally 2-3 posts above
Things are missing, huawei keyboard (which was actually nice), Huawei browser, the 5x5 which is quite important as the 4x5 feels like half the screen is unused.
They really pulled their eyes out with their own hands.
If i don't find a way to go back to 5.1.1 i'm going for a refund.

well mine didnt work. Followed the direction got to the update screen says it cant find the up date. Yes i moved the file to external sd. Is there anything im missing ?!!!!!

You have a European cust correct? Do you know if it matters for us with the EU model if the image linked here is for other countries? Any issues with something? Other than those missing Huawei apps someone else mentioned.

No problems here for now, i can still select 5x5 layout. Love the empty tray button to remove all active apps, no more slide. Also nice is smart screenshot, double tap to unlock and draw gesture when you write C on the screen, it will open the camera app.

As far as I understood it won't work on the HAM7 anyway, perhaps it's designed for Mate S hardware - but it's just my guess.
For me to accept a call or take a foto by fingerprint works, the gestures not.
You can find it under >Settings>Fingerprint-ID and it's not grayed out there.

I've read that elsewhere as well. I think I may reset my phone this weekend - will report back if it does indeed disappear. Makes no difference though - it doesn't work either way.

I dont know why u guys asking for finger print sencor notification...its not support for mate 7
First in beta version they send us thats version for test which is from Mate S (I guess) or any other device from huawei which support fp sencor,
Second, i m sure u guys install this official version directly from lp beta version which completely give u error or some kind of buggs...
read instruction in that download pakage, or i can say u can install from 120,125,138 which is the official kitkat release on huawei forum...pls dont complain anything about official version untill u cant install fresh one...the is the most fast, suitable and strongest without any error version i ever seen in andriod...even other brand cant seem fast and beautiful when i compare my mate 7 with them...so read command in all thread, get idea then start install....one thing i want to make sure there is not such kind of fp sencor for notification, it was only in beta they send us for test which for our device, our mate 7 hardware doesn't support fp sencor....
Enhance your calm, citizen. We're discussing it, is all. I didn't expect it to be here, knowing that it is dependent on the hardware.
Still gonna reset this weekend. Holding thumbs for the Mate 7 being listed for upgrade to Marshmallow...
I m always calm dude...just say few words which will help others...specially whose saying to downgrade from 324 by mean that version not stable...i just did clear that i m runny with everything fine...
i'm 100% sure that it's not a hardware problem, and I can explain why:
First you have to turn on the option in developer settings which will show where you touch the screen, then you go into the stock gallery app (or camera), and then you touch the fp sensor and see what happens. You will see how the marker will move through the screen without touching it. It doesn't only detect different fingerprints but also where you touch it. If you touch it on the left it will move right. I you touch it on the right it will move left, touch on top move down, touch in the upper left corner it will go diagonal to the lower right corner etc..
now if you think logical it should detect a swipe down movement easily, as it only needs to realize that you touched the top, the middle and the bottom. There may be problems to make it not detect unwanted swipes due to it not beeing that precise I guess but it shouldn't be that hard to fix it..
if they only released the source code for it then some modders could easily script something for us..

Few Questions on Honor 8 Chinese Variant FRD-AL10

I live in India and was desperately waiting for this phone to release here.. But don't know why they released a single sim variant here.. So I had to import it from china.
AL10 variant works fine with Indian sim.. everything is perfect but just had a few question.
1. Does this phone has volte support.. If not then will It get volte support in near future like Indian variant.. - I cannot make calls from JIO 4G sim with its inbuilt dialer... (I have to keep the JioVoice App running to receive calls.. )
2. What about the updates?? Will I get EMUI 5.. ever??
3. This is something strange.. Apps generally do not gives notification on its own.. Like WhatsApp.. I have to open the app to get notification and receive messages.. Seems like it just does not work in background
Anyone?? Please

You've asked a lot, my friend. It's hard to predict the future. I can only try:
About VoLTE: I guess that it won't come with EMUI 5 for AL00 initially but it may be add later as VoLTE will become a standard feature soon in China too.
About upgrade: I had Chinese Honor 7 and upgrade to marshmallow came late and I had to download it from a Chinese website. I hope that it wouldn't be the case with Chinese Honor 8 since Huawei is committed to bring upgrades to every Honor device every 3 months.
And about your notification issue: Check app settings regarding notification, permission and battery. Make sure that all involved settings are enabled.
I too got a honor 8 FRD-AL00 Chinese version....
Please help me as well to remove chinese apps and as well as to get emui 5.....All others r getting it..... But not mine..... ????

Nope. I don't think so. You should be prepared to stay in the current version itself.

A few days ago I got the update, it wasn't EMUI 5, but regular security update B171. I'm pretty sure that EMUI 5 will follow. So be patient. Nobody has really gotten EMUI 5, some owners of US, UK and Indian models received beta version, but it's still buggy.
Regarding Chinese apps, a lot of them could be uninstalled. Those which can't, could be deactivated. Just use force stop and disable in settings-apps. And disabled apps (any other as well) could be removed from the home screen. On the screen pull two fingers together and you'll get option to hide any app you wish.
Install google play store and any other google app by your preference. Download and change theme - this one looks very promising: https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.si/2016/11/emui-50-dark-beta.html
change wallpaper, install Nova launcher and find better icom pack like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themezilla.pixelui&hl=en
Just download icon pack, change every icon on your home screen with the new one, save configuration and uninstall icon pack.
You gonna have totally western phone like your friends and you'll feel better.

As of my knowledge, This model won't get updated.
I do have Honor 5X like this. Im staying in EMUI 3 till now.
If it is US, Europe, Middle East and Indian region version we can guarantee that it will get for sure. Not for this one.
It certainly will get EMUI 5.0. There is no reason not to get it as the phone was launched this year. There are beta versions being tested now. Guess the actual update might only happen early next year. Check the official chinese forums for the updates: (use google translate and you will understand most of it) - http://club.huawei.com/forum-2404-1.html

I do not have the Honor 8, but its bigger version - the V8. However I need to follow the Honor 8 forums here at XDA and the chinese forums for the developments as Honor v8 does not have a dedicated xda forum. I am still on Android MM.

If you are having KNT-AL20, then you will get the EMUI 5. But it will be little late.
I have a KNT-AL10 that would also get EMUI 5. It's in closed beta testing now. I know it may be late, possibly by March-17
Its 2020 & still i am using Honor 8..model is FRD-AL10 and EMUI 8.Does it support VoLTE?

Step counting on auto, how to turn off?

I was hiking the slot canyon in Anza yesterday and when I finally got back to a restaurant, I realized the phone , which I'd never enabled anything in particular on, had counted all my steps and several other things.
Does anyone know how to disable step counting on emui 5? I've done all the obvious things, like "disable step counting". Thanks. I don't care how many steps I've taken, only that I arrived.
Also: I meant to mention this but forgot. The camera works great for me, but that isn't good enough for the Honor 8. After I've taken some pictures, about 3 hours later, it always pops up a notification that says "I've finished enhancing your picture of _____" . What if I don't want an enhanced picture? Is there a way to turn off all this irritating crap? Thanks again.

If you are referring to the step count being displayed on the lock screen then you disable it through the screen lock settings. Otherwise, I believe it's in the Health App itself.
Not sure about the photo enhancing. Never seen that one before.
What app do tell you about step counting.
Plus, clear data and cache of the camera app and see if the pop-up is still present
I didn't even know that the Honor 8 had a built in step counter app in it's software.

The only fitness app I can find is called "google fit". I've disabled it. However, the steps are still there after disabling them on the lock screen & disabling the fit app, so I think it may be a bug or else there is another counter that just keep going. It's not that bad and it doesn't eat up any noticeable energy.

Probably doesn't matter what my frd-l04 came with that I bought from newegg that I use on ATT. It matters more that I updated to Nougat and that's the beta which had the health app in it. On marshmallow, I never had the step counter or the health app.

Huawei Watch 2 China Version

Hello guys!
I purchased this from China and realise I cannot change the language to english. And also having to use the China Version of Android Wear. Is there any way to flash and change the system language or change to global android wear 2.0?
I have my eyes on this too and would like to know myself!
On the original it looked fairly straightforward, hopefully it is on this one too...
You don't have to use android ware 2.0 chinese version. I have global version installed on my iPhone and have successfully connected to huawei watch 2. I could enable Feed and sync calendar cards, email cards etc.

I don't want to risk flashing HW1 firmware on this.
BTW, is it possible that the developer preview for Huawei Watch 2 will also be available to the public? Is it also possible to just ask Huawei for the files and flash it myself?
They provided a QR which helped me download the Android Wear Chinese Version but it still shows the text in Chinese even if the language in my phone is set to English. Are you saying that there is an Android Wear China App (com.google.android.wearable.app.cn) which can make the HW2 text in English? I think I could live with that for now, else I'll just wait for the English Version before using this daily...
(I can't post the actual link from the QR code, but it's just from VMall dot Com)

you are right, better not risk to flash other ROM, just wait a bit, developers will give us all we need. I am waiting too.... I am trying to get custom recovery on it with no results...... will wait too... you cant set watch to english, no way at all. forget it until we will see an international ROM
I am also about to purchase the china version, but need to know it it will be able to flash the international version later on. Can I assume it will be possible?

Hi, I finally given up the 2nd gen and would opt for the first gen even it is actually more expensive.
the 2nd gen is simply... a toy watch. The original one would seem sustain better.
But my last concern would be battery, will the 2nd gen last much longer than the first one?

Nice is not what people say it is, is what you really like, this is for all things, always.
in second, if you dont mind to spend a lot (my personal opinion) in a watch that was out on 2015 is ok, but 2thgen is better in performances, pixels, ram, battery and so on.
I have apple watch steel ($$$$$$) that is perfect for iphone owners(me), huawei 1th gen, good for sure and really nice, now time to try something more powerfull and also price is finally "real".
anyway, as I say, up to you.
battery is a bit better than 1thgen cause is bigger but not that much, depend on how you will use it, gps and gyro for exaple are consuming a bit, but it will be not a problem for you cause 1th gen have not gps....
by the way, why you are care about version? you are in HK you should find international version too. I always buy my phones there, all international.

The international version in HK will usually cost at least 40% more than that in China. That's the only reason.
On second thought, I am getting an Huawei 2 despite the Huawei 1 is much more appealing and better build quality. In any way it is a tech toy. The battery should sustain no longer than 3 years and it worths nothing by then. So keeping the toy with latest techology would be a good choice.
under what circumstances you can use the china watch except using it as an digital watch?
Almost all app are incompatible. Not even the spotify. Only those happened to be in the Huawei app store will run.

Hello mcdull,
i dont use spotify but i can ensure you I have a lot of apps working, just examples: XDA, eurosport, myemail, currency, some weather apps and others. of course all apps I have in to phone can push notifications even if they are not installed into watch.
I tried to extract micro.apk from android phone apps and it works too.
maybe i do not understand well your concern, if this, sorry..
regards

I most case I were not able to get the app running, either with the start up screen or just without data connection (in app). I cannot see gmail there as well which I need most. Skype wont connect as well.. though I dont use it much.
BTW, I am in HK and therefore I am not inside the GFW.

SE now
Huawei Firmware Finder says 365 is not allowed which is not, I tried to force it via DNS and it gets rejected, but 364 installs, with Face Unlock which is pretty quick and April security patch
Can confirm, just installed 364 and face unlock works. Czech Republic.
Downloading now official B364 update in Portugal!
Hi, I just bought honor9 in china. I need to unbrick it so I can get on the play store? Which is the best firmware to load on my device? I don't need anything fancy just stock android with play store. Thank you!
Confirmed for Germany. Just updated, it's nice, also little performance boost i think I feel.
Updated as well, Transilvania.
Updated in UK
Pretty responsive though I've not tried any other device who uses face unlock
Update : pretty response isn't so much out of 10 tries about 5 worked weirdly only works when I blink figure that out and awkwardly held out in front of myself

kinda default for most these days
updated here also in Brazil. Rom Europe STF-L09, Working well.
just a tip for those who did not know yet, activate the 'LIFT' option to unlock without having to click the power button.
Path: Intelligent Assist > Motion Control > Lift > Wake Device
