I had received the update to Nougat via OTA on my Honor 8 early February. I, however, had to rollback to Marshmallow within a week or so as I had extremely poor battery life after the update. The rollback package on the Official Honor (US) Website didn't work for me. So I had used firmware package to switch back to Marshmallow. The current model number is FRD-L04 and the build number is FRD-C567B122.
I'm not sure if I'd receive future updates via OTA. I'm wondering if there is any patch introduced after the original update to Nougat & EMUI 5.0 and whether I should try manually upgrading again? My phone isn't rooted; could you provide any steps that would help me try a manual upgrade?
Thanks.

My phone Honor 4c is currently experiencing unexpected problem.
It started after I downloaded the updates in my phone using wifi and my stock build was B070 then after the 2 updates which was downloaded accidentally my build goes to B180. I tried many things just to revert this and go back to my old build which is B070 but the version failed it keeps saying error/failed..
Can someone help me with my problem, i really want to upgrade my phone's OS from KitKat to Lollipop or even further (Marshmallow)
Why do you want to revert back to B070 from B180. You have to take OTA updates to upgrade to a newer version. Sit tight and you'll automatically receive the Lollipop update B320.
my build no. is b180 and when i check the updates in settings and said that no updates available?
pls help, i want my huawei honor 4c to be lollipop to marshamallow,pls help

You can try this app to get the new firmwares for your phone model.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder
Since you are on EMUI4.0. Update to 4.1 B3XX or which ever next version is applicable for your phone model. Then you will get the system update to nougat immediately.
For example. I was on L29C432B180. I didn't get the nougat update then and I didn't get any update for 4.1 either. Once I updated it to L29C432B190 THEN I got the system update to B560.
Similarly for you, update to EMUI 4.1 using dload method first. Then switch on the wifi and see if you are able to get the system update to B563 or whichever version is applicable for your model.
So you can use firmware finder to download the EMUI4.1 version from the list you have. Download the full package. It is always better. After download, check the md5, unpack it , then push it to dload folder - > all these options are available in firmware finder app. once you are done with all these steps. Switch off the phone - > press volume + , Volume - and Power button at the same time. It will start updating.
Once that is done you are in EMUI4.1. Now switch on the wifi -you should get the system update to nougat.
Check this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/l29-c636b563-ota-firmware-finder-t3563403
Try and see if this works for you. Hope you found this information useful. :good::good::good::good:
Hi
I also bought my Mate 8 last week. I am also in Australia. I have just updated it to 7.0 minutes ago.
Go to settings/update
click on menu
then download latest package.
It downloaded L09C636B211 for me. update to that version.
After rebooting I went to check update again and L09C636B563 was available.
buggy
My phone did an OTA update to nougat build B563 last week and I've had nothing but problems.
Random volume drops, sound may as well be off. Miss calls & notifications. Only a reboot fixes the volume.
Also it seems .M4A files are no longer supported?
The music app will play them but no sound.
The Chinese variants are up to build 573 or higher.
I think an update/fix might be a long way off?
Hi, I recently downgraded from Android 7.0 to 6.0 on my Honor 8 device using firmware package as I faced severe battery drain issues with 7.0 (I tried the rollback package but it didn't work for me). I'm wondering if I'll get the future updates to 7.0 via OTA or should I download manually and install?

If I was you I would make sure that you are registered via your honor ID &, Hicare and wait see if you get the ota. I can't think of any reason why you won't get it.
I have only updated via official OTA's and I have had no issues with battery life.
My phone is very stable and the battery lasts all day what ever I'm doing no problem.
It would be interesting to see how many of the folks that are having issues have rooted Thier phone's or used the FF etc.
When you do get the update install the update then factory reset them give your phone a week to settle and learn your usage habits
I have a MHA-L29C636B158 mate 9. I have rebranded the phone from the chinese firmware. MHA-L29C636B181 is available but i am not receiving any OTA updates. knowing that when i rebranded the phone i received an OTA update and thats it.
Please help
In your case you have to update manually via Firmware Finder.
After rebrand some users told that they received updates, other people told did not receive. So, it is better don't wait too much time and force update
Any guidline you can offer would be great

In step when you will search for rom, type model MHA-L29BC636
Notice that B189 appeared (number 97776) - it is latest rom for C636 region on Android 7.0
Check firmware access without IMEI
And if yes, download and install it by guide.
I'm in the United States and need VoLTE to continue using this phone. I'm relatively new at doing this so please try to take that into account.
I've tried DLOAD method for 9.0.1.193 (C636E7R1P8T8) & 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8T8). I got a message both times about the update not compatible with current firmware.
I'm guessing that I need to update to Android 8.0 before trying 9.0 but I'm not sure. I would appreciate specific instructions on how to upgrade this phone if it's possible.
My wife also has a Mate 9 MHA-L29. But it is a C567 and has Android 8.0. I haven't tried to upgrade her phone. But I need VoLTE capability for it too.
