Found this info on a Chinese forum:
From the serial number (S/N) you will find:
Pos 6-7: Year
Pos 8: Month (Oct=A, Nov=B, Dec=C)
Pos 9-10: Date
E.g. my S/N is XXX021671400XXXX
So manufacturing date of my P9 is July 14, 2016.
Thanks! Mine is a little older, from march 2016. By the way, in case you don't know where to look for Serial Number: settings -> about phone -> status.
My year of manufacture is confusing
6th and 7th digits in my S/N is 60? What does that mean? 2006? Too old? 2060? It's just 2017 -_-

Oops, my bad. I used the IMEI as reference, when in fact, it should be the phone's serial number. Sorry

Your position 8 is digit '7' (you say July), not a letter A (Oct), B (Nov) etc?!
However, such a single digit is not enough for twelve months - how the months are really encoded?
My SN reads 16729 - 2016 (Jul ?) 29?

As the original post says, 1-9 for months 1 to 9, then A-C for months 10-12.
Mine was built in February 2017, thanks OP.
Well mine is March 21, 2016

That's why i bought the best of the Honor's series : H60-L12.
It's Unicom = more updates
It's 32GB = more internal storage
It's dual sim = very very nice feature
It has NFC
And i never had any lag any problem any strange reebot yet (i bought it in 25 november!!)
So, i think i will see LOLLIPOP first, like H60-L02

Yes you can but I guess that you are not Huawei's employee. That Finnsih website got their source from Huawei itself. Another Finnish website has reported the same also.
In English (my own translation):
According to the information which TaskuMuro got from Huawei says that company's top devices will get their Android 5.0 Lollipop updates in Finland at Q2 of next year (meaning 2015). The update comes atleast for Honor 6, Ascend P7 and Mate 7 models.
huawai is under pressure.. if they dont upgrade to Android 5.0 .. lots of people wont buy any honor phones again..
I think this thread needs to be closed because we already have another thread asking for the same thing and nobody has an answer because Huawei hasn't released any dates yet.
May 1st Week

Guys. I have contacted them and per their response, they are planning to release a beta version this week or may 1st week. Send your IMEI of Honor 6 and your contact number to their Facebook Page (Huawei India) to get the link. This is for India only.

Never trust honor facebook account... it's managed by non technical people and all honor development is done in China. I suggest also to do not send your imei to anyone ...it's unsafe! Lollipop for honor 6 will be in beta in june... That what is written on the Chinese emui page which is the only real source for honor technical information.
Hi,
Im looking to get the Z5 but is there any difference between revision 2, revison 3 and revsion 4 handsets?
Not sure what you are referring to with revisions. You referencing model numbers?

Take a look at the attached picture.
I have the version 3.
because there is also the version 4?
Think my box said 2 on it. I'll check later at home. Maybe it's just what firmware comes pre installed?

It looks like it might be a batch number for example revision 1 being the first batch of phones manufactured and so on.
Could be. I have Rev 4 and got mine 10/5.
Mine is apparently a Rev 2, manufactured in 2015 during 40 (15W40). I got my device on 19/10/15 (15W43). I'm interested to know the manufacture dates in relation to the rev number.
Rev 4 here, how do you find the manufactured date?

Open the SIM card flap, there is a tab you can pull out. It is between the SIM tray and the motherboard. It is on the side closest to the screen.
Rev 4 here.

Does the revisions have anything to do with the camera blur?

Mine is Rev 3 and was manufactured on week 39 (end of sept), and i have the blur on both sides and messed up center (doesnt take a straight line)
Mine is Rev 4 from Taiwan
Could Rev number have to do with color maybe? Also, it's probably best to distinguish between Z5 and the compact when mentioning Rev #s.
I have Rev 2 yellow compact.
I have rev 2, Z5 black, manufactured 15W39
I think rev no has something to do with model numbers (4 models available for Z5). Mine is TW E6653 & it's rev 4 just like few others' here.
seems like all the rev 4 are from Taiwan and the 1 2 3 are from UK, and i would assume most defected phones are from UK....
My Rev 2 is from Taiwan
Hi, i just bought a new Samsung S5 from "The Good guys" in Perth. i was surprised to find it already had Android 6.0.1. installed, thought i would have to upgrade it from the old Kitkat version. I looked for the phone's build date, in Main versions RF cal is 2016.10.25. That didn't sound correct as i bought it 2 weeks after that date and i thought S5 production would have ceased long ago being a 2014 model. I downloaded "Phone info" app which gave a build date of 14-sep-2016. Surely Samsung is not still manufacturing new S5's ???
I noticed all other Mate 9 variants are receiving regular security patch updates but MHA-L09C432 is still stuck on January 2018 Security Patch on EMUI 8.0.
UPDATE: HiCare confirmed end of support for all Mate 9 devices by April 2018 with final update to disable project treble support as the Kirin 960 will not be compatible to support new android versions.

Can you give us more information? I can not find anything about it
Enviado desde mi MHA-L29 mediante Tapatalk
LOL, here in the states, "officially" we are still on 360. I was on the beta 321, and got 360 in early January, but many
didn't get it until March.
I find this hard to believe, especially the 'Kirin 960 will not be compatible' bit. They are using the 960 in several of the tablets they just announced at MWC last month. I could see them saying that some of the hardware in the phone might not be compatible without updates, but saying a chipset is not compatible is like Intell saying the celeron will not be compatible with any further windows updates.
And huawei has been just as bad as most other devices at security updates, so that is no surprise that you are still on the january security patch. Heck, before Oreo, most of us were stuck on april of 2017 security patches

I can't provide more information as this was a discussion with HiCare support.
Also the mate 9 is still on sale...
Got this today...
I wonder if development has indeed stopped for the Mate 9. I can't see anything new in FF for C432 after 366 which was dated 12 March 2018 (another firmware with the same version is dated 27 March 2018)
If you look at the track record of releases, there isn't a single month without one or more new firmware out for the C432 region.
I hope someone here can weigh in on this
USA variant, April security patches in any case, don't really care about the updates, all phone manufacturers suck at this, if more come, cool, if not, also cool, there isn't any consumer protection out there, so oh well
There is a post in Mate 10 problem with widgets not updating on Emui 8 (same problem we have) where guy talked with Huawei support about problem and he got answer that fix for that is coming in next update scheduled at May 16 to May 22 for Denmark (and EU region probably) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/widgets-stop-updating-t3703572/page26
Update is for Mate 9 pro but I hope we are in their plans too

I think you 'd better hide the IMEI of your device in the screenshot for security purpose.
Why is mine still stuck on MHA-L09C432B198?
EMUI 5.0.1
Android 7.0
November 2017 security update.
It was bought SIM free and is factory unlocked.
Updates are set to automatic.

For reasons only known to Huawei some IMEI never end up getting approved. I was in the same situation. SIM free, factory unlocked C432 variant.
A couple of weeks ago I gave up waiting and used Firmware Finder. Worked like a charm, now running 8.0.0.366. I suggest you try it.
I'm just concerned about how safe it is to download firmware from basically unknown sites through an app that seems to be getting some pretty poor reviews (and some good ones, admittedly).
EDIT
I've now found the original FF thread on xda and withdraw that comment. Lots of reading to do to be sure I understand how to do it, as some users seem to have bricked their Mate 9s

Yes do read the whole thread and watch a couple of youtube tutorials before using FF. Then make sure you select the correct firmware for your region and always FullOTA.

Yes, I agree all manufacturers are guilty of that. But if the rumors are true, it would be 6 months before the expected end of support for the Mate 9 which was launched in November 2016. More importantly, we've got Project Treble and still see a lag in security updates, although by just 1 month usually.
On a positive note, firmware finder is now showing a C185 B363 dated 6th of May with May 2018 security updates!
On the downside, there's still no sign of new firmware for C432, the last one being 366 dated 12th of March
---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------
Here's a quote from XDA's article just published hours ago (from Google IO):
“We’ve also worked on building security patching into our OEM agreements."
Just baffling and very revealing on how much has this aspect of security patching been ignored so far!
OK, I spoke too soon. Firmware finder now lists B368 for C432, dated 8th of May.
This update also brings May 2018 security patches, and adds face unlock as well as AppGallery.
Hallelujah (for security patches and continued support)!
Update (no pun intended):
There's a B374 for C185 and a B369 for C567, both only listing May 2018 security patches under what's new.

Don't notice much difference tbh. I did notice in the settings menu the option to change the default installation location it may have been in there all along but I hadn't seen it before. I'd been having problems trying to open documents from remote locations with es file explorer when the sd card was the default location but since I changed it to internal memory everything works as it should.
Anyone got it on c440? Which is the Lte model, still on nov patches and no updates whatsoever
Got mine. March 2019 security patch included
Still no sign as yet for my ex EE WiFi and LTE CMR-AL09, unrooted, plain vanilla. I've been spoiled by my Essential PH-1 phone that gets just about the fastest Android updates out there.
I`m on 10.8 model, got it about 4 days ago.
I got m5 lte 10.8 and I still on emui 8.0 with Feb patch. It's normal?
Just brought 8.4 M5 WiFi and happily updated through 8.0 to 9.0.1 pie with march security straight away.
Just had April security patch update on my UK MediaPad M5

Got my 8.4 mediapad today (wifi only) and it just upadated via OTA to Android 9 (EMUI 9.0.1). Security patch March first.
Compilation number 9.0.1.160
No sign update for LTE users
Just wonder any one had update or heard official news on LTE variant getting EMUI 9.0 my pad is on EE and check daily and still no updates , I know network level devices have to be signed off network related software wise ..... But it's been long enough
Just got 9.0.1.182 with April security patch on my 8.4.
