the link for b209 to b211 is not working, can you please post a working link. Thank you for uploading.

wtf... all the updates only for 703.... 701 is so hated

There is a way to run the 703L Roms on your 701L. I donated to the same guy who posts the kangvip ROM and he walked me thru it step by step. I think he's still accepting donations, it's worth a try.

there is another simplier way to update the b211 without using TWRP for non power users:
1. place the update.zip file (b211) in the DLOAD folder
2. open the phone app and type: *#*#2846579159#*#*
3. now push the HOTA at the end of the list
4. update starts
i had to create the DLOAD folder on the SD card and place the update.zip file in it.
the DLOAD folder on the internal storage did not work for me.
it worked perfect on my 703.

thanks so much y'all

There is some action on Huawei Forum. As I can understand there is full official Android 6 update to P8 Max, but for now it is limited to 500 downloads per day and with very limited bandwith. To get it we have to install updates to Huawei stock apps and click few options. I have managed to get to the download point where it prompts that limit has been reached.
Update image file name ends with ...029_211.

hi! once you put the beta, when the offical anfroid 6 will be released, what will happen ? you have to update manually ? thank you

Probably don't need if you are on the latest 211.
For those on B029 can you all verify that using the HiCare can update directly from B029 to B211? It seems that they are already releasing the B211 as public OTA but it has to be activated via the HiCare app

thank you, I tried an update 1hour ago ( i have b029) by Hicare and no update were available i'll see tonight

Yes, updated HiCare give us the option for direct OTA update from 029 to 211, but there is 500 downloads per day limit. After two days I gave up and used "dload folder" method described on the forum to update first to 209 than to 211. No need for root, unlock boot or TWRP.

Great! Do you have any issues installing the Google contact sync and running Playstore?

Yes, I could not find contacts and calendar sync apps in the Huawei Store. I used Google Play Services image (version 9.0.83 440-121911109) from the apkmirror.com to extract and install two small apk files for contacts and calendar synchronization. Used "Google Play Store 6.5.08.D-all [0] 2792142" from the same site. No problems.
Most of the things works fine for now. Few things that I have noticed:
- There are some minor glitches with animation when unlocking the phone with password. No way to turn it off.
- They changed locations of the settings, so it takes time to locate all of them.
- Yellow pages number suggestions in the caller app are so annoying for me. No way to turn it of.
- All apps from the Play Store installed as usual, except Sygic Navigation. When it start to download some additional files, Play Store crash.
- Browsing is not responsive as used to be, both on WiFi and 3G. Not sure why, looks like there is some delay when a lot of small files has been downloaded. Speed is OK with big files.
- There is only 3 options for DPI in EMUI 4. No more per app setting, and it looks a bit strange if you choose smallest setting. Everything becomes smaller (the way I like it), but icons in the home screen stays big and not so sharp.
I'm looking for tutorial for safe root on Android 6, so I can remove most of Huawei Apps.

Sorry guys, I have the dav version 701L and European rom DAV-701LV100R001C100B002 I upgrade? Or should I wait version via OTA? You can help me? Thank you very much

B211 must be still in beta phase! I can't beleive it will be final ROM for P8 Max. Such a vaste of hardware potential.
It is obvious in so many small places (like notifications and shortcuts) that it is not yet scaled for our big screen. Also there is strange and annoying lag from time to time. Antutu score droped from 47000 in 5.1 to 42000 in this version. Every task that reqires network connectin is slower than in 5.1.
I have tried hard reset, but nothing improved.

Apparently, they don't feel too confident about this release and hence earlier beta testers spent half a year evaluating it and I guess they got "most" of the bugs squashed but not 100% yet. I feel that there will be another release after this version that should stabilize most issues like lag, slow network, crashes, etc.

I want believe that is the true, and that's what's keeping me from unlocking and rooting. B211 is usable, it just feels much more unpolished and laggy than B029. This is my first Chinese phone, and it was very pleasant surprise in hardware department.
Huawei is not some unknown brand in my country, most of major telecom companies offer their flagships phones on contract. Let's hope they can manage to produce stable software release in next few weeks.
Main reason for me to rush for the B211 was the problem with notifications. I have tried all possible options but notifications from apps like Ebay or XDA just does not work. It did not improve a thing, I still get notifications only from Gmail, SMS and phone. Is that some kind of policy from Huawei or what?
And why on Earth did they switch "Messages" tab for "Yellow pages" in dailer app? Every time I type the number in, the phone offers to call some restaurant or flower shop in China!?

hi, it seems that it's not possible to create a guest account with b211 ?

Notification works for me, you probably need to give the application permission to allow them to post notification. After testing 211 for a couple of days, I've decided to go back to B029 because that's more stable for me.

YouTube Kids app icon missing in launcher

as im not in one of those YT Kids app supported regions, i installed the app with APK (from apkmirror.com) and enjoyed it for over a year already.. however, today suddenly i realised that the app icon disappeared in my launcher drawer.. it was there a few hours ago and in between the period i didnt reboot the phone, didnt install or update any app, didnt touch any files in my phone..
i checked "/data/app" directory, and there was the "com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids-1" directory with all files intact.. i tried to re-install the apk and it went without any problem.. and there was a new "/data/app/com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids-2" directory created with all files same as the previous installation.. but the app icon just did not appear in the drawer..
i tried to switch to the stock launcher, and the app icon was still missing..
now im out of ideas for what could go wrong.. any suggestion for me?
tia..

Same thing happend to me (Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Stock 7.0), nu luck with previous versions of Youtube Kids either..

Same here. Galaxy S8. What has happened? Maybe recent Google instant app has something to do with it ?

Hi, same issue here on a Lenovo tablet and Galaxy S7, both running android 7.x. App appears to be gone from the app list and only by installing an app uninstaller i am able to remove it. Same problem when trying to install older versions of the YT Kids. I can install but i can't run it or see it in the app list.
On an older device runing kitkat the icon is still there with no problems, so i would guess this may be a new feature on the google services or so. They may now be enforcing regional limitations. Any info on that?

Unfortunately same thing here. Samsung tab A 2016 !

Same hete, but went here https://kids.youtube.com
Clicked to get it then app store opened he app and was able to enable it

it still redirects to play store, and thus app availability is still subject to regions..

I can only confirm the problem ( Galaxy A5 2017 running Nougat)
Seems like a server side or Nougat upgrade issue.
I have exactly same symptoms. app icon is missing, side-loaded app installs but does not register properly so it does not appear in app list, and can be uninstalled only with third party app (e.g. ES File explorer)
Hope there will be a solution to run YT Kids once again in regions where it's not officially supported.

Hopefully someone can make a modded apk version without a region check.

i dont think the check is done in the app itself, probably its done in the framework..
cos i have not updated the app, and suddenly it went from working to disappearance, so i guess something in the underlying google framework changed..

Okay, so maybe someone knows a simular app. I didn't found one yet, after ours of searching and installing
---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------
I installed a lot of different versions of yt kids and sometimes he wil open after installation and after a few second he stopps working. But the icon never apears from two weeks ago. The disapearing happend on the same day by my phone, from my wifes phone and my mother in laws phone?

Yeah, sad Google starts to execute regional restrictions more strictly. :crying:
The latest version 2.28.14 have new logo but won't run although it installs almost fine except no icon.
Therefore you should use 3rd party app to uninstall defunct app (e.g. ES File Explorer).
It seems it's gone for good. Check thread below:

Yes. Downgrade your os to MM and down. And will work. On Nougat it's not working.

I have tested in on 3 devices and its working:
S3 mini - android 4.1 stock - YTKIDS working
Tab 3 8" - android 4.2 stock - YTKIDS working
P8 lite - android 6 stock - YTKIDS working
P9 lite 2017 - android 7 stock - YTKIDS not working
So... Must be something with the Nougat that blocks YouTube kids.

thx ic..

It is firmware related. I have TAB S2 for my daughter with Nougat and on previous version of firmware YK works OK - installed from APK mirror, but updated firmware (just new version - still Nougat 7.0) deletes icon from launcher

So, anyone found a solution to this, same here Samsung galaxy Tab A8 2017, and Note 8
it seems it is because of Android N

10.0.0.181 for LIO-AL00 (December security patches included)

Happy Holidays everyone.
It's December the 26th and I've just received a new firmware for my CN imported LIO-AL00 M30P - updated using their HiCare app set to China under the region settings.
LZPlay still working, none of my apps broke, native camera updated to .150 and all-round smooth sailing so far.
I was surprised it included the December patches and as once again, we get camera improvements! This is probably the first time I've ever seen a firmware update so close to the holiday season so just feel like saying props to Huawei for working hard :victory:

fuxking ****! I am still at .154 ,but I have L_29 international version

Clear support app cache and system update app cache to force the new update in.

I just had a look on HiCare app, and it shows this update...I'm on UK regional settings (I think). It is also, 10.0.181 (C00E180R5P3), 619MB - downloading now

Did you set Hicare region to China ? And restart ur device ?

Another day, another update (already!) - EMUI 10.0.0.182 just appeared on my CN M30P LTE/4G LIO-AL00.
It's only got a couple of fixes this time but the pace is unreal.

A lot of apps crashing after Android 11 update

I'm currently on Oxygen Os A11 Open Beta 2. I noticed, since closed betas, that after first launch, some apps crash. They run alright after first launch (If I unninstal and install again the app, it works again) but after that they don't open at all. Is it because they weren't updated to be Android 11 compatible or something else? Anyone else facing this issue? One of the apps is tvs show tracking app "Hobi". If anyone could test it I would appreciate it. Thanks.

It works on my side, I'm on Stable OOS 11, I've opened the app multiple times and it works just fine.
Try to upgrade from Open Beta to Stable

Android 11 release

I saw on several news sites that the Korean version had the final android 11 rolling out.
If anyone's got it would love it they shared a screen cast of what's different

I found the kernal for Andorid 11 for the Canadian variant of the LG Velvet 5G (LMG900UM2) today but have no idea what to do next lol (rookie)

Not much you can do with that. As per the gpl they have to release the kernel source. If you had root and recovery you could use it to build a custom kernel but since we don't it will be of no use. But Android 11 shouldn't be too much longer.

Just received Android 11 OTA update today for my LM-G900EM (Europe).
No issues so far, and good news: they finally fixed the VPN bug when switching to WiFi!

Received G900EM20b-EEA-XX update yesterday and lost mobile data connectivity. I thought maybe location (GPS) needs to be enabled for data to work in Android 11 but that's not the case.
BTW other changes: color of status icons and toggable icons changed, "emergency alerts" app was installed
EDIT: just needed to manually re-add APN entry for internet

Not much is different, emojis were changed in android 11 so that was quite noticeable and I used to use pixel launcher but now it doesn't work

So things I have noticed:
IoT integration in the Power menu to get the payment cards... doesnt work at all, not sure if its a geographic location lock or something (canada)
If I click open a notification from the lockscreen and unlock using fingerprint ... there is a janky finger print animation thing... which causes the fingerprint icon to keep displaying randomly on the screen :/
There seem to be 2 system emoji fonts installed... One LG and one is google cuz gboard shows the google version in messages app but otherwise the system shows the LG ones
Lockscreen for some reason only displays conversation notifications for me by default i have to swipe down which pulls down the notification tray to show all the "notification" section items
LG launcher STILL does not have auto sort by alphabetical order
Scrolling and general slugishness in the system that existed in android 10 is definitely gone
LG and their sad state of software ...

After update I feel like system is kinda unstable. I am constantly getting UI freezed. Except few changes in quick settings panel and chat bubbles, I do not see any changes and improvements.

I don't know if I'm imagining things but the fingerprint sensor seems to be a lot worse, the brightness has gone down and battery drains a lot faster, camera is a lot slower. I can't see anything that's been improved going to downgrade it back to the old version its unbearable.

Hi all, just received my Android 11 update on my Velvet LTE in Belgium.

Hello, is there a way to flash back from Android 11 to Android 10.
I have a LG Velvet 4G LM-G910EMW (Germany).
I would be very grateful for any links or tips.
Thank you very much.

Yeah, pretty sure you can downgrade to Android 10. You can use LGUP, just make sure you download android 10 KDZ from http://lg-roms.com/
