There are now tons of threads detailing a myriad of methods of getting L on Honor 6. As far as I can tell
You cannot get CM12
You can somehow get 5.1 + EMUI3.1
So can anyone post the correct links to where I can get L? I am currently running CM11, and I have a custom recovery, so flashing is ok for me.
I already replied to you in another thread. Check it.

Download B309 package.
Flash over B374.
Go further down to B109SP01 from B309.
Update to B115.
Update to B500 with this update. zip.
You'll get B500 version if you are in India and not B507. I don't know the reason but that's what happened to me and few other people. I'm back to B374 as this ROM is buggy for daily usage. India will also be releasing lollipop update soon so I suggest it's better to stay away from this. While on the other hand Malaysia has also started updating to Lollipop, that update is over B380, update file is not uploaded by anyone yet.

Hi, thanks for replying.
If huawei is indeed releasing updates, I can wait. But can you tell me if the update will rewrite my recovery? I will certainly give this a shot if I can do a restore of my current ROM from recovery.

It's difficult to come back to EMUI 3.0 I have tried that so I'm telling you. You should wait for 2-3 days as Lollipop is coming soon. And yes there is a different recovery in Lollipop.
There is no cwm available for it. So coming back is not as easy as jumping from 3.0 to 2.3
Hey guys.
I'm in the beta program. Looks like i cannot see the new firmware on HiCare and also in system update. Some tester found a way to upgrade through official channel or we have to wait for some reasons ?
OTA B360 for FRD-L09C432B320 is released!
Yeah i know
Problem is that my phone has not yet found any update yet.

If you cant find in HiCare on "OS update early" than rollback to B131 and check again. I made it now just to test this way because i was already on B360 using Charles and i found the update.
A rollback ? Sound like to much of an hassle to me. I just want to update the phone normally.
i'll wait a bit.
For me it work via Settings / System Update.
System Update found 360 - while Hicare could not.
I was on 320 (beta)

It's nothing that hard, you just need to force update two dload folders and thats all. After you can do the update normally.
Guys, let's try to concentrate all the questions and info in one thread!
Honor 8 Android 7.0 + EMUI 5 oficial released!
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

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.
Hi Everyone,
I have some troubles with my Honor 8. I installed new OTA update using Firmaware Finder (FRD-L09C432B360). I installed both packages, big on ~2.2 Gb and also some battery fix update ~200Mb. I don't why, but my build number is NRD90M test-keys now. And also Smart key is not working now.
So i have few questions regarding my problems:
Is build number problem ? Will i receive new official OTA updates?
Do you know, why smart key is not working ? I tried to write own android application to handle this button, but system not even receive event from this button. Do you have some solution for that ?
I found new OTA update in Firmware Finder B380. Is this update fix bugs mentions above ?
Thank you for advice and help .
This is not normal and I don't think B380 will fix it for you. I suggest you roll-back to MM using the official roll-back package and either update via standard OTA or trigger the update with Charles method.
Hi sysak,
thank you for your answer. Maybe stupid question, but how can i roll back to MM ? Could you please send me some tutorial ? I am newbie in this topic.
Thank you
If you contact Honor live chat via you Hicare app they will give you instructions.
I think that the role back downloads are on this site

Yes, follow the link from johnhux7. Download the 73mb rollback package and flash it with the instruction in the attached PDF. Then do the same thing with the 1.75gb C432B131 software from the same website and you'll be good.

Just look for BLN-L21 firmware ending with 360 or 361.

Just register your phone through HiCare and wait a couple of days. Push updater once in a while. Why use firmware finder ?
