Nougat update is here UK and maybe other countries

Good day all I have two Honor 8s both with UK B131 firmware. Been checking updates for Android 7 but not luck.
So I updated my Huawei ID software to 2.4.1.304_OVE one one deviceand then checked for firmware update of my OS and low and behold the new update is there. 2.38GB and downloaded.
I check once again with my other device which l had not updated the Huawei ID, each time I checked for new OS it came back No Update.. So I once again updated my Huawei ID to the one above once installed I checked for new updated. The new update was there did the download and installed reboot and it's all good to go...
So give it a try if you still not seeing new update each time you try..
??
Now to try out the Twin app...
Things I have notice that has been fixed in Android 7
World clock now list County and city for La Réunion - Saint-Denis. Had to use Mauritius settings in the past.

Glad to hear that. Can you provide screenshot of baseband version, security patch level date and kernel version?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Huawei ID update available here too, FRD- L09

Was that from the Play store? There is no update here for Huawey ID in Ireland latest in Play Store is 2.3.3.312_OVE
Would you have the APK?

@Nyssa1104, thank you, sir. This is the same version which i already received couple of days ago. It is from 18.01.2017. I wonder will the OTA update from 6.02.2017 be pushed soon.....

No its not from play store. Go to the Huawei ID once open in the menu Check for updates.. This is what I did and it will show the new Huawei ID update and just download and install no need for reboot.. There after checking check for New OS..
Just a address note I have since done this to two more Honor 8s (4 now) and they all update to. Android 7 this way.. Maybe there is a trigger in the new Huawei ID software?

I should image so in the near future but in the mean time going to see how this Nougat pans out as it is..
Side Note
Twin app when used with Whatsapp is a must for dual sim devices and it works with no lag on the phone.. All default OS settings and firmware

I got my Honor ID update but no OS update here.
I'm in the UK maybe it will turn up later

Did you updated the 06.02.2017 OTA? If you did, does the Android security patch still on 1 December 2016? Thank you sir

@fnudaniel83, i'm still on the software from the 18.01.2017. I will wait before update, because from 7am to 20 pm i have 6 hrs SOT and 40℅ battery left at my usage. The phone is very responsive and fast. I mean i am very, very glad.
My posts in all the topics, related to the Android 7.0 are provoked by the same questions as yours- is there any real differences in versions, or Huawei are shocked by themselves and they dont know what they doing? [emoji23] [emoji23]
You are welcome!

Yeah I'm currently on the current frd-L04c567b60 Android 7 date 03.01.2017 updated via firmware finder. I'm having issues with Bluetooth won't connect to my car system, so I'm hoping there's a new update that will fix that.

Have you tried the firmware finder ?
U will find it in the play store.
There are you tube vids on how to use it.
There are also guides on here for it.
There is also the Charles method.
You should have a good look and read though the threads

Maybe you can try to connect it to computer and use HiSuite to check for the update.
Or you "check update" by using your data plan. (The reason I stated this is due to if I check for the update via my office WiFi, I couldn't receive it due to our IT department is blocked update website)

Have you contacted Honor via HiCare ?
Google+
It's worth trying to speak to them.
Find out what's happening coz i should have had your update by now

I'm also from Malaysia and I didn't get the notification for the update. I had to check for updates using the hicare app.

Update for FRD-L02C675B130

Hello Can anyone tell me how to officially update Honor 8 FRD-L02C675B130 to EMUI 5 and nougat 7.
Thanks in advance.

Just go to the settings and search for the update for the phone
It should give you Noughat 7 and EMUI 5
But this way it maybe wont give you the latest one for the phone
Couse when the latest one are released it takes some time
to arrive to all the regions..
The latest one for me the official way was B360 and it was Noughat 7
But the very latest one for me was now B381 wich I needed to install manually..
So if you dont care about the very latest and will wait until it is released in your region
Then just go to the settings and update it that way..
And if you do the update..it is recommended to do a factory reset after the update is done
Just to fix some bugs wich usually comes after such install . .. the most bugs will be fixed that way..
And if you want to have the very latest noughat 7 then look in some of the threads
it is explaind how to use the Firmware Finder and how to update manually
It is not that hard just need to follow al the steps given step by step

When I look for an update on the update app, it says that I am on the latest software. I'm still on emui 4.1 Android 6.0

Than you might be one of the small number wich still did not get the noughat 7 update..
Try it then with firmware finder..
Firmware finder you will find on google play store
Note: READ ABOUT FF ( FIRMWARE FINDER ) ON XDA AND LOOK THE LINK BELOW ..

Report back to see if you have troubles or if you were successfull

Is this an official update ..will I still have my warranty after this??

Do not know about the warranty but this will just force the latest update for your model and you will have to install it by yourself manually
If this voids the warranty I really dont know about that one
Hope someone will help you with this question to get the answer

Unexpected update

I had an update today (UK) that I was expecting to be the update to Nougat/EMUI 5, but it was just an update to EMUI 4.1.3. Does this mean the Nougat update is delayed further?

Did you try using the firmware finder? Pretty sure the initial build of nougat is rolling out. Try using it and maybe see if theres an EMUI 5 package in there

I got 4.1.3. update earlier this month. Nougat has been realeased but Honor on his FB page says it won't be available to all 6X at a once, so we must wait if we want update OTA.

I received the emui 5.0 update about 2 days ago (US)

Maybe it will function as a pre-update, in a few days, you can receive the official N.

Same situation here. Was on BLN-L21C432B130 (phone bought in Czech Republic) and got notification from OTA that there is update to B151 available. Didn't manage to update though, i guess the TWRP was interfering. But made the update through HiSuite.
Update replaced TWRP with stock recovery (and obviously root is gone) but kept the bootloader unlocked. Will leave it like that for a few days just to see what will happen next. Hope the Android 7.0 update (B360?) is coming soon to my phone. If not, manual update is always a solution...

Same here in the netherlands. I updated via firmware finder to BLN-L21C432B151 on april 1st. Still no B360 via Updater.

Update: Got B360 yesterday through OTA. Looks like B151 was only pre-update afterall I believe you'll recieve it soon.

No way ! You're on a island. Can't stand it
* never mind; Czech Republic instead of UK *

So its 7th of June and No update.....Is this the way they're rolling out the update??.

UK

I was talking to Honor support and they told me the nougat update is delayed as the initial update they released in May for few builds had users experiencing issues. Per them "Huawei is commited to resolving issues and they said we should expect the update in June".. Not sure how true they would stand on their promise..

I got it today (netherlands).
Still no menu button in the bottom launcher. [edit: it's in the settings].

Do you get a notification when you take a screenshot or only this 1 second animation popup ? It used to give a screenshot notification before on emui 4 and now it doesnt after the update..

New firmware B387 for FRD-L09

In Firmware Finder is new ROM with build number 387.

Unfortunately, no flashable

Most likely it updates only the security patch to the one from May

Hello
Perhaps tomorrow we will have new updates?

And looky look.. one day I dont look at FF and you report something new..

I have read online that we shoud get till end of May the 7.1.1
But we will see...

Any idea what these updates are for? It's not like they work anyway, so why put them on company servers etc?

I think that we will get some update soon .. first of all it was months ago announced that
we should get till end of May the noughat 7.1.x update..
Then again the chineese version of honor got an update ( B387 ) where the camera is updated
( to use the monochrome camera and some new modes )
and they got also a battery optimisation fix ..
So I think this all is just some things happening before we get some updates...
So it is good that something about our updates is happening...

Hi. I don't think so. My international unlocked FRD- L09 never received official OTA. Manually flashed all versions till now- B360, B380, B381... Waiting for OTA is a time waste. Huawei's own software update distribution are total nonsense.
I also doubt we will receive 7.1 soon...

Emui 5.1 does not mean Android 7.1.
Huawei P10 is running Emui 5.1 on Android 7.0.
If we get it, I'm sure it will be the same thing for us and also not in May.

Thanks for the info
Something is definatly happening
Couse one contact person from Huawei reported to xda user svetius regarding source code and the partnership that we should expect something happen end May or early June
And since yesterday in FF there is also new firmware B387
And some of users got yesterday updated
So I would say something is going on
Lets wait few more weeks and see if Huawei is doing what promised

Yeah in FF new FW is shown, but half of users still haven't received update to Android 7.
I don't expect any "revolution" in updating our devices.
