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.

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.

Well, I forgot the name, it was the Health app (HiHealth or something). Try to find it and open it, you will find all your steps and lots of other information about your "health".

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.

I just realized I had an app called "Health" and disabled it, and now it is gone from the lock screen. The lock screen setup doesn't work for turning off steps (or not showing them). The app was located in the /system/app folder as hw-health-midware.apk

It seems that you have the Chinese variant, as the US model doesn't come with the health app.

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.

I probably just don't recall it from Marshmallow since I updated the first day I got it. The good news is that it's called "healthd" and can be disabled and deleted as can all their crapware if desired. I just did that and I'm not rooted yet.

What I can confirm is, the huawei health isn't present in MM on FRD-L04 (US version)
Yesterday, Google confirmed new OS to our Android Wear watches.
Changelog (source: https://plus.google.com/+HoiLam/posts/eMzmoxztkpw )
Improvements include:
?Notification vibration strength setting
?Touch lock option for wet conditions
?Support for 7 new countries / languages
?Plus more e.g. notification channels, battery saving background limits
I'm curious, when the new Android will come to our watches.
It turns out that the update is not sure... Damn, Google! https://support.google.com/androidwear/thread/25693?hl=en

the watch is a 2017 model and is an almost high end watch so we dont need to be worried much...
Rumor that that watch will not receive Oreo. That's sad. It was just released last summer I believe.
i hope they change swipe left (or right) to something else, doesnt make sense to assigned 2 swipes - left and right - for 1 same function (change face)

Is anyone else having any issue while downloading the OTA? If I go to system updates it keeps saying "downloading ...". Looks like it starts downloading but the no progress at all.
Any clue?
Does anyone else feel like the icons changed on settings menu & there is a new Huawei app to called find my phone and some new things on the camera? Also there is a recycle bin on the gallery App. Or is it just me who is noticing just now? ??

Got this on the L02 a week back. Did notice the gallery recycle bin, neat. The best thing is when a WhatsApp notification pops up while using another app, it automatically gives an icon to switch to multi window without needing to pause what you were doing.

I don't think so lol, just checked my phone details and I'm already running B389
Just an FYI Huawei Health and Huawei Wear haven't been updated to work with the first developer preview of Android P. Both apps keep crashing. If anything changes I'll advise here.
I have been struggling with the same issue, is there any other application that can sync the data from watch to phone, like sleeping analysis ?
That's a bummer, I don't plan to run the DP until Google I/O so hopefully huawei addresses this fast. Hope you sent a bug report ?

Nope. No huawei health data can sync without the phone apps. You'd be better off using google fit for steps, and sleep as android for sleep.

Typically when an app crashes it will have a little pop-up to send feedback. I almost always just hit cancel, it's become second nature. Other than that I'm not sure how else to send a bug report to them...maybe on the huawei health play store page?

Thanks! I always thought that went to Google but makes sense it would go to the developers. I have done this now. I really don't expect much movement on this for a while. Considering rolling back to Oreo.

Just be careful rolling back, think I read somewhere that you can't recert to a previous version anymore with pixels. I think it's because of security reasons, so they only allow you to update....I could very well be wrong, but check it out before flashing anything

Thanks Gators. I found a good article about downgrading. But I decided to stay with Android P for now. I have survived without Huawei Fit and Huawei Wear. Google Fit seems to be holding up alright
Good news. Today Huawei health was updated and no longer crashes.
However Huawei wear has not been updated yet and seems to get less updates. Last one was February. Hopefully they do an update soon.

Health data from the watch doesn't sync with the phone if the Huawei Wear app isn't installed on the watch unfortunately.
I wonder why it takes them so long to fix it.
Guys finally it works with Huawei health beta app!! You can add the watch from the health app, no need for Huawei wear app anymore.
EDIT: just search for "Huawei Health 8.0.2.317-wearBeta.apk" you should be able to download the apk and install it normally
