No updates on my mate 8

Hi recently I jumped from my note 5 to a mate L29 international version with 4gb Ram.
Haven't received any updates since purchase on 5 Jan. . I have heard in the news that the honor is getting regular updates.
But what about the mate 8
Build No. B103
Security Patch Level. December 2015

Usualy the AL10 (Asian Unlocked Version) is getting the updates first... right now they are deploying B156.
I am sure the L29 will soon be in line, as it was recently launched;

Thanks for the reply.
So the L29 still on B103.
Cuz the camera app seriously needs an update and is Dodgy

Would be nice if you keep us updated if you get the update. thanks buddy.

I am on AL10, haven't received any while some others did, any suggestions or something I could do? Or just wait?

B187 was released 2 weeks ago, B188 6 days ago. B181 was the last released before B187.
Most likely your IMEI isn't approved yet, it usually takes a month before it's approved.
Take C432B190 as example, it was uploaded on 6th of July. People started getting OTA 12th of August.

mine was L29 from the very beginning. I'm on B181 without any updates available although FF sees two new firmwares. Let's wait, patience is virtue.
And I guess your bootloader is unlocked, so you can use HWOTA method for update.

Will we see Oreo Beta to C567 US region anytime soon?
Just want to have the latest security updates.

Just like any other devices (Except for Nexus/Pixel devices) its always a waiting game. I'm sure We'll see Oreo within the next 6 months. But no one knows a timeline.

We don't even have 5.1 yet

There is a Beat Build for the C567, Build B302 with EMUI 5.1. (September Security Patch) I am running it currently. It has some quirks as any beta does, but over all its nice. I feel as though the stable build should be out shortly after the Mate 10 launches.
Here is the link to my post on A/C with my review/experience with it.

Nope, hasn't received it yet. Last update was April 5th I believe. Pretty lame and pathetic if ask me. Huawei wants to break into the US market they are going to have to start doing better than this. Had it to do over with, I'd got something else besides this phone.

Oreo updates

There is only a beta release for our c567 so far, to install any of the ones for other regions you're going to have to unlock your bootloader, rebrand, and install that Oreo using the steps in other threads, our mate 9 c567 Oreo should be rolling out as an OTA update in a few weeks so I'd be patient and wait a while, I installed a different regions ROM and want really happy with it at all.

Dear @ revjamescarver,@ Thunderbolt69
thank you for the detailed reply's. Ill probably wait for the ota .I have side loaded twrp but not rooting until update will roll out.
Im trying to like the phone, hopefully the update will roll soon
Happy Holidays

Honor 8 FRD-L09C432 updates

Ok guys, I bought my Honor 8 in Italy and I am still on B394 update with August 2017 security patch.
Huawei Firmware finder shows last update B403 March 2018.
What do you do? Do you wait for official one or do you download it yourself via FF?
Thanks a lot.

I advice you to wait for IMEI Batch, when your turns arrive you'll be notified about it. I faced the same problem but after some times i got the OTA and now i'm on B401 waiting for B402 February update. If you're rooted maybe you can try some other methods described here on xda

Only go for updates approved with IMEI in firmware finder. I got my device to B401 from B394 with the DNS thing.

Thanks guys, I just don't understand why some Honor 8 phones sold in Europe have more recent updates and some don't.

Did you register a Huawei account?

Yes, I got two updates in past.

Just pull the trigger. Believe me, B403 is a solid update.

Update availability is not only related to country but also to IMEI batches.
I'm in France, yesterday someone told here he got b402 in France, I did not get it yet, I will probably get it within next hours/days when my IMEI turn has come.
In FF, we kinda see the future : b403 will be installable in about one month, as 402 became installable in the beginning of March, b401 in the beginning of February...
