Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

Ah thanks both. I've just had a look at that site and firmware finder. As there doesn't seem to be an OTA update heading my way I might give firmware finder a bash. Many thanks.

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build
I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.
Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.
i m not able to install stock recovery i m on twrp AND THERE IS NO OS IN MY PHONE
vendor and product partitions are completely empty
not able to boot at all not installing any rom zip as saying not able to mount vendor
how to flash vendor and product i tried with fastboot but it says remote command not allowed and tried installing stock recoery by fastboot and it installs successfully but when i boot recovery there is only twrp everytime
without stock i cant use dload method and stock is not installing and custom roms are also not installing
Hey guys.
after a download with firmware finder,I found this problem: ????
failed to authenticate installation passage.This package is unauthorized and will be deleted.Please download and install an authorized installation package.
Help me.my build number is b361 and I want to update to b380
Hi all,
I have the AL10 dual sim version and have managed to rebrand it to L09. I've tried a few times to get custom roms working but they all seem to have the same issue which is that the sim card cannot be detected (I'm using a 4g Australian sim). I'm now back on stock EMUI 5 version b300 but have found there is no smart key feature, so I'm trying to update to a more recent version of EMUI. I've tried the method of using the dload folder then holding power and volume up and down and it tries to update but always fails and says to go to Huawei's website.. If I check for updates in settings or in hiSuite it says there are none. Does anyone know how I can get it to work?
Thanks,
Josh
Try using the Update Through DNS thing is Firmware Finder. Otherwise rollback to Marshmallow and update again, which should work.
I had the same problem. So i made the roll back to Marashmallow, then update to the latest Nougat Firmware trough OTA. That worked for me. For everything you can use the related guide here on XDA

My Honor 8 (previously rooted, now unrooted) will no longer download or find updates. I have tried using the Firmware Finder DNS method, which I managed to update to B406 easily through, but it comes up with a "Download failed" error for B407 on my phone. What should I do?

406 is the latest approved update.
Just wait untill 407 is approved for installation, for now it's not. You can check in firmware Finder app

Yes, Always Check If Firmware Is Approved In Firmware Finder By Clicking That Check That Availability Button, If Not, You Will Get An Error When Updating With It. B407 Is Not Approved Yet.

By the way, when I was on .186 fw if I checked by direct link on setting menu, the response was "phone updated", checked via "Support" Huawei app, the app show me the new .196 upgrade..
So check by app, not by settings submenu
Today I've received the update 10.0.0.191 on my LIO-L29 Huawei Mate 30 Pro 4G international version.

Hi m8, did u check for updates using HiSuite PC v10 https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/hisuite/
If you did it and still no update available, you can check too on eRecovery, maybe it's available on the recovery servers for your device .
I updated mine using eRecovery method, as i was doing it and with my P30 Pro. You can try with or without SIM inside, but users got an update often without SIM inside , because on some carriers, they block the updates untill further tests are carried.
In order to acces eRecovery (using this method in order to update WON'T wipe your phone data, it's acting like an normal OTA), follow these steps:
1. Power Off your device;
2. Press Power button and as it vibrates and shows Huawei + Android logo, hit 3 times Power button and device will reboot again in eRecovery mode;
3. When in menu, select Update mode, then select eRecovery mode then Update and recover system then Download update and recover. Connect it to Wi-Fi and it should start the update. If it's still the version you're atm, you can hit Cancel and then Restart. If it's a newer version than the one installed, let it download and update. At the end, it will restart to system.

Maybe your SN/IMEI wasn't whitelisted on Huawei servers for new firmware. Check again next days, who knows, maybe it will trigger the update

Hi all, I have downgraded my p40 pro to 131 to get google apps working. Then tried auto updates and it tells me that there is an update but same version 131, updated to 131 using auto update but it still keeps telling me that I'm on 131 and same version of update available. Connected to PC and use Hisuite and same story, tells me 131 update available (which I already have) and nothing else. Was able to update to 154 using proxy but now same story, it keeps telling me that 154 update available which I did auto update but I still get notification that I there is new update to 154. I cleared data and cache both for Huawei Core and Update app but still same story.
Please help!?!
You will need to use Hisuit Proxi & firmware finder to get more upto date firmware.

hi, should I update it using FullOTA-MF or OTA-MF only? thanks
Select Full, and use the check availability option to make sure its an approved for install as well, else it will fail.

thanks, another question is, will it wipe off the phone?
When I did mine, No. But remove or backup any personal stuff off your memory card if you have one, just in case. Note if you've done the GMS install, make sure you log into All you're accounts, ie YouTube etc first before upgrading firmware. Cause you won't be able to add later.

Update: Ok found it, it is via the advance button and paste the link there to check if it's approved or not.
Is this done via the HiSuit Proxy Advance button? how can i check if it's approved or not?
Use firmware finder to check it's an approved version.
Hi im having the same problem. I tried to manually update to version 10.1.0.161 after installing gms from 121. Still cant get OTA. Its been 2 weeks.

Hmmm we are all on C636. No idea what went wrong. Only difference is 4RP1 and 5RP1. Any difference in those?
Same situation here, I downgrade to version 131 o install GSM and now the phone won't update.
I had to update it using HiSuite and now I'm on 183 version.
Hope there is a way to fix the OTA updates on the phone.
getting regular updates after installing GMS via googlefier
Doing some research I have found what is happening:
On your P40 Pro, in the "About phone" screen you can see the build number and then a number between ( ), example: Build number 10.1.0.131 (C636E8R5P1)
The number after the C will tell you the version or region of your firmware, in the example C636 = version/region 636
When you downgrade using a different version/region you will loose the OTA updates on the phone, and this will only be restored after you install your correct version/region firmware.
You will need to find the correct version of your firmware and have the "dload" version, and install it from external card. There is a video showing how to do this, but the link on the video is for a version/region 636, if you have a different version/region it won't fix anything.
Once you have the correct firmware and install it, you will begin receiving OTA again. This process, at least on my phone, erased everything, so be aware of this.
