I am a big Xposed fan, so before I drop $750 on a new phone, I want to make sure I can install xposed. Since 7.0 may take awhile, I may hold off if the Mate 9 is nougat based.
So for those that have received the international, can you help me out with a quick check in settings?
Thanks
It's 7.0. Xposed for 7.0 is around the corner. We have great developers here; they have already achieved twrp and root.

i bought it today
mha-l29
nougat 7.0
emui 5.0
Thanks appreciate, guess I'll wait
I wouldn't buy a Huawei with the intentions of modding heavily. I don't believe most Xposed modules work with mate 8 so I wouldn't expect a big change here
Mate 9 going on sale in the US on Jan. 6.

I guess you're asking if the Mate 7 will eventually get Android Nouggat. I would say highly unlikely, i wish we will get it but we'll have to see. P9 already got a beta of it with EMUI 5 so let's hope it happens!

Yeah. According to sources in Italy in February will be updated
I didn't know if it had been mention yet, but does anyone know which EMUI version we will be looking at on the Honor 8? Also while we are talking any news about it getting Nogurt?
EMUI 4.1 I believe
It is EMUI 4.1 , runs fluidly and there's no confirmation of nouget as far as I know
emui 4.1 skin on top of android 6.0.1.
bt we can soon expect emui 5 based on android 7 as its alderdy been tested on huawei p9
EMUI 4.1, I hope in EMUI 5 will be more stock Android.

Apparently Honor has promised at least 24 months of software updates for the Honor 8 so it will definitely be on its way eventually, hopefully with more Android and less Huawei bloat.

Hi all,
I'm from the UK and have the Honor 8, was wondering when I might be receving the Android 7.0/Nougat update?
Reason being, I've bought the phone and don't want to start using it until the update is installed, I liked the look of the Beta ect..
Maybe there is a way to update it manually? My phone is stock btw.
Cheers.
Depending on the variant of the Honor 8 you have, the update should be rolling out shortly. If you're eager to update your phone however, there are various methods available that should allow you to update your phone to Nougat; just do a quick look through of the other subforums for the Honor 8and you'll find your answer.

Look at this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
Just skip root/debranding part. Charles method works seamlessly...
No I'm running N in FRD-L09 and it works great. It's really stable and EMUI5 is just amazing.

Hello. I prefer using magisk over SU. And I just wrote up a guide a few days back on how to do that (as long as your running Android Oreo/EMUI 8.

That's tough to answer.....it's all a manner of opinion really. I had slightly better SOT though in emui 5 (since its running Android Nougat) where as emui 8 us Android Oreo. Truthfully I flashed an AOSP ROM after I upgraded to emui 8 because once you go to emui 8 / Android Oreo, it enables treble support. I'm not a big fan of emui in the first place though. However, the AOSP ROM's are newer so they are still wip when it comes to working 100% for the huawei mate 9.
May I ask what custom ROM you are using? And how do you find it? What's your SOT?

Download firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (if available) and unpack update.app from update.zip
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor and extract ramdisk.img, this is the boot image file that magisk manager needs to patch.

Okay... Sorry for the delay.
You'll obviously have to go back to stock first. And then hisuite should work to upgrade to Oreo. Just trying to think what the best way to return to stock would be for your model version and get you upgraded to Oreo.
i see this requires Microsoft Windows. i only have Linux. any suggestions?

Too late... unless you've got a bootloader unlock code before July 24. Did you? I'll guess not, hence...no root for you, enjoy GPU Turbo and Pie (whenever that comes).
Hey everyone,
after reading for a few hours in the Guidesection, just a quick question: If i understand it correctly, the only option for me to get the Oreo Update on a EU Honor 6x (BLN L21c432b382) would to rebrand it like that https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402 and after that use this Guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317 to get Android 8.
Or did i miss an easier solution?
Thanks and cheers from Berlin.
Yeah, leave Huawei and buy Nokia.
I bought my parents version 6.1. They received Pie within an hour. Am awaiting version 6.2 in april. Call me lazy.

Does this hold true with US variant BLN-L24 as well?
TIA, I've been looking for a while, went back to OPO, but I'm still all tangled up in EliteRom 7.7
