Will I get 7.0 update on my Honor 8 via OTA?

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

How to get from nougat/Emui 5 to Pi?

So my phone is downloading L09C34B171, I just got it 2nd hand and unlocked the bootloader.
I've seen some conflicting things on using emui 8 or 9, I want to install a rom like lineage or RRv7 with magisk but apparently i need to flash everything from emui 8, so will my phone be updated to this before going to the emui 9.1?
thanks for any advice, keen to get some sweet custom OS so emui can go away.
I believe you need to have a phone on PIE to use RRv7. I flashed RRv7 to my Xiaomi Mi 8 lite and it's so much better than what was on it before. I just flashed PIE on my mate 9 yesterday and it's great. Read the thread below and you'll see how me and another guy did it. My bootloader is still unlocked so I imagine I can just flash twrp for PIE and then flash RRv7 which I'm thinking about doing. Not sure that I see that much difference is 8.0 and 9.0 but it runs fine.

How do you update from android 6 to 7 ?

My daughter recently got a new watch and the watch says it needs to run android 7 .
It is my old phone that I used to run rooted, but since then have flashed back to stock.
Updater shows that there is no new updates.
It is also running stock recovery.
Is there a way to run get android 7 on it?
Not sure how to without doing a twrp or OTA update.
