Nougat to FRD-L04 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Has anyone received the upgrade to Nougat (OTA) in Mexico or the United States?

When I would check for the update with the updater it wouldn't do anything, but I then clicked the little drop down menu in the upper right hand corner and selected download latest full package and it started the update.

I believe there have been a few from the US who have rec'd the update through the regular update process, myself not included, but they are spread out through the various Nougat threads. 'Fraid I don't know about Mexico.

Hmm? My updater app has the menu button down at the bottom, middle and when I click the "Download latest full package" within, it returns to the main page with "No updates" under the " Check for updates" label. That is on my FRD-L14.

I purchased the unlocked L04 from USA and using it in India. Got the B360 nougat update 3 days back through the regular OTA route. It just notified me of the update. I was able to download and install it without any hassle. 2.27 GB download. Running smoother. But, I feel, the battery life is slightly lower compared to the previous EMUI 4.1. Everything else looks improved though.

I upgraded through the Charles method, same model as you. Wasn't getting any updates and wondered if it's because I'm currently in Jamaica. So far the battery life is almost better to me, plus the whole UI feels faster and smoother.

I think you were already on nougat/EMUI 5, only then is the menu option in the top right hand corner.

[Q] OnePlus One - Questions on "Incremental Update" model

Hi there,
I am wondering what's up with the incremental update model adopted by OnePlus. I would appreciate if anybody would explain and this would be helpful for others having the same or similar questions.
Here is the scenario:
I received the phone with 22R version of the ROM. Since then I did not install the updates.
Under the Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates, it is always showing the 25R as the available update and not the latest.
When I raised a ticket with the OnePlus team regarding why the latest version is not being shown, here below is the response I received:
Have you already tried a Hard reset on your device? If not, here's how to do it:
1. Back up all your important files and information, as the process will erase all data
2. Shut down the phone, and turn it back on while holding the Volume Down button until you feel it vibrate
3. Once in Simple Recovery, select "wipe cache partition" and swipe to the right or press the power button
4. When you get the "Cache wipe complete" message, continue and select "wipe data / factory reset" to fully reinitialize your ROM
Click to expand...

However, I do not quite understand why I would need a hard reset of the phone to see the latest updates. Anyway, my questions are as below:
1. What is this incremental update model is all about?
2. Is it that we cannot update to the latest version unless we go through all the incremental updates?
3. In one of the posts about updating to 38R version (latest as of this writing) needs to be done on top of 33R only.
4. What would happen if we update from 22R to 38R?
Any answers that would give an insight are appreciated.
Thanks.
This is standard procedure. This is how most phone companies roll out their updates usually. This is how OTA updates work.
An OTA update is not a complete system, it's a patch that needs to be applied to the correct preceding build. That's why they need to be taken in the correct order. I don't see what your problem is though, just take the updates in order and you'll be fine.

I understand it is a standard procedure, but I have not seen that the latest update would only be shown after all the previous updates taken. It does not make sense.
Let's say there are ten incremental updates have come and the user would want to update the tenth version (assuming that the user had not taken previous update releases).. then he would not need to go through the hassle of updating all the previous update releases to take up the latest.
From your explanation, does it means he has to update the phone ten times?
On the other hand, in the case of OnePlus One, what would happen if the user want to update from 22R to 38R?

A user cannot update from XNPH22R to XNPH38R. There is no 22R to 38R. All of them are incremental updates.
XNPH22R -> XNPH25R -> XNPH30O -> XNPH33R -> XNPH38R.
If you hate doing all the updates then simply flash the fastboot images that'll get you to XNPH38R. But at the time 38R factory images aren't out yet, they will be soon. Latest factory image is 33R.
But I agree, OnePlus should be shipping the new devices with at least XNPH33R.

I think you're failing to understand how updates work. It makes perfect sense. Yes, the user needs to update ten times because they are patches that build on top of very specific already existing firmware. You can't install 38R on top of anything but 33R.

You're not seeing the update because not everyone gets it at the same time, it's a staggered roll out.

This is normal, if you think this is unbearable. Do a clean install of windows seven right now. You will be getting patches after patches.
Nothing new

Shield tablet 5.1.1 OTA Fail during flash reboot (WiFi)

Hi all,
Hoping this is an easy fix someone has seen before.
I have a used 16gb wifi version that I'm trying to update to 5.1.1.
The OTA download works OK, but when it says flash and reboot, the progress bar only gets about 20% along and then shows an "Error" message over the robot.
Wiped the download and redone the OTA a few times with same results.
Not so concerned about getting the update as I am in trying to figure out if the device is part of the recall or not.
I think that the system may have been loaded with a custom ROM by the previous owner but it looks to be put back to factory. Don't know if it is left in a weird state of locked/unlocked/rooted or not or if that should matter.
Thanks
Ron
Make sure you are getting the full update. Should be more than 700 mb. In system update click the 3 dots and select the full ota.
Resolved- Thanks

Hey, thanks.
I found this just before your reply by accident when my son wanted to try the update ONE MORE time and hit the 3 dots by mistake. Just caught the word "full' before the window closed and went back to give that a try.
All the other devices in the house are Nexus so this new device was a bit of an anomaly that I wasn't used to.
Update worked just fine but now looks like we wait for the recall replacement to come in

is this safe to install!!?

Just got checked and found this update in setting, but there is no change log info for this update kinda worry to install. Any suggestions would be helpful for me, thnx. Current running H8 frd-L09 B386 (no rooted).
it would mostly be only security patch unless there was some major bugs highlighted and been fixed. mostly April patch only.
i would say stay there because i have installed the later updates (almost 3 after that version) and they are crap bs, made my phone laggy and ram cant hold out games in background for long and also my phone is heating up.

But I don't know what's changed? Also on the P20 Pro?

here me, before system settings update
9.1.0.328 clt-l29c432e5r1p9
Same here
Did notice something saying that feature advisor is running
I received the same thing and I couldn't find any information regarding the update. Was thinking something is not right and not the usual update process we are used to.
Hopefully someone fingers it out.
I also got this push notification for system settings, wasn't a normal update. My device a Huawei nova 3i.
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80680997&postcount=2
Honor 10 also received this system setting update.
Some news? I also received the update but I didn't notice any restart in recovery or changelog. Perhaps they have resolved the excessive consumption of the battery due to the system IU process.
The same with me today mate 20 pro
I noticed this update at the morning. I assumed it's related to daylight saving time. For example Israel moved the clock 1 hour back yesterday night.
updated but no clue.
Got the update too. It's a timezone fix

Question Android 12 update

Anyone that already got the update can comment any improvements or problems you are experiencing?
I have big battery drain with Android 12
My experience with Xperia phones is that there is often a period of increased battery drain the weeks after an Android version upgrade. Sometimes, I needed a factory reset to make it go away. But, I didn't have to do that when my 5 II went from Android 10 to 11.

Nope. And after the 12 update, phone doesn't get warm when charging
Any advice to get the update on the states?
I'm super curious how to get the update, OTA has nothing and the xperia app tells me I'm updated, but I'm still on Android 11 and https://xpericheck.com/XQ-BC52/23119804 tells me it's been out for weeks. I'm in Denmark so I'm guessing it's the right package in the URL.
Feel like a noob asking but it's super weird if they stagger it so long I think

True that. Also have the XQ-BC52, and I got the update via OTA about two weeks ago, I'm from Sweden. Really nice update since it seems like all the "heating issues" is gone now Now this phone is pure pleasure!

i'm afraid you are forced to flash your update via Newflasher. Probably you got my same problem (but with 5 II): your device don't receive OTA updates at all? If is this the case, then yes, you have to update it manually. Sorry.

Hi and thanks, my 5III did get two security updates so it's able to get OTA.
Interestingly enough the xperia companion also is stuck on Android 11 it seems telling me there is no new update...mmmm I'll wait a bit before trying to flash the official version manually

I made repair fon and get A12 from xperia companion. But its like a factory reset!
so I waited until the OTA update after Android 12 and that brought my 5 III up to 12 and on that OTA version so that was easier
Cheers guys !!
No issues with Android 12. Battery seems a little better. New UI is meh. Not a big upgrade, but not bad.
