[NXT-AL10] update to Nougat and EMUI 5.0 - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have just bought a mate 8 nxt-al10 (chinese version, unlocked) two weeks ago on Priceminister, and i've recently seen that the mate 8 received the nougat and emui 5.0 update... My friend got the same phone, but in TL00 version (chinese version too but locked for chinese carriers) and she got the update.....whereas I cannot​ get it me! In settings tray, when I tap on "check for updates", the phone return to me "no update avaible", whereas I'm sure that my friend has Android 7.0 with emui 5.0..
I live in France and I received my phone with an international rom, NXT-C900B170, already configured at the unboxing.
Can I have help to get the update please?
Thanks
toXa

C900 most likely means that your phone was crossflashed with an international firmware for the L29 variant of the phone. in this state, u wont be able to receive OTA updates, so ull either have to flash an original AL10 firmware or change your regional cust to an L29 variant.

Thx for your reply
Okay thanks... And how can I change the cust to L29 directly or AL10 (and then flash an european rom after)? Whitch is the better method?

I tried to flash an AL10 firmware, the last released, via Firmware Finder, but when I try to flash it, the phone returns that the package is uncompatible.. I suppose that the last chance is to change the cust?

for changing cust, u can use the so called SRK tool, you can find it in one of the mate 8 sub sections

Okay thanks
I will try it soon, I keep you informed

Hi,
I just have finished to unlock the bootloader and I have a question.. will I receive OTA updates if I flash L29 rom?
Where can I find a L29 rom? Can firmware finder do the job?

Mate 7 TL10 (4.4.4, Stock) changed to L09 after B326(5.1.1) dload method

I had Mate 7 TL 10 with kitkat, and wanted to get the lolipop. I searched this forum and found out that there was a beta testing program for MM. I read that to go to MM I had to have the b326 lolipop update. So I downloaded the b326 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784 . I did the update and was on lolipop 5.1.1, but the thing is My model changed from mt7 tl10 to mt7 l09. Is is a problem? I also downloaded the MM update b511 but was unable to do it because it is for tl10 and my phone changed to mt7- l09. Please help me to make my phone tl10 again.
Thank you.

I'm a noob, but when you say tour model do you mean international version? I have the middle east and Africa version. I'm sorry I just got the phone 2 days ago.
I write about flash firmware for your model and Region

Mine is MT&-TL10 from "meafnaf". I flashed the same. The model changed to MT7-L09 and the build MT7-L09C900B326, the ram is still 3GB storage is also around 32 GB.
Have a look in the buildprop to see what model it says. If it's only L09 firmware, maybe you lose the use of the second SIM.
I only flash a ROM that is a genuine OTA update or from local storage if it has the included Huawei PDF instructions because it tells you which ROMs it can update from.
I have TWRP recovery in my TL10 and it named the save folder L09 but I think that's just because whoever did the TWRP maybe had an L09. In my phone info it tells me TL10 still.

OTA Updates?

EDIT: On Oreo now.
EDIT:
Is you're stock at an "old" version and the "normal" way of updating via OTA dosn't work try this:
Go to system update setting,
Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select download latest full package.
That should give you the latest Nougat updates.
For Oreo: Try to use HiSuite
Not all countries receive updates at the same time. Even not all phones in the same country.
If you have automatic update enable you'll receive a notification.
Hope so your model belong to the UK (Not sure). If it is UK model, you will get the update within the first batch of release.
If you belong to any other region it takes time. But you will get it for sure.
Depends on the sponsors in your region, your carrier...

No, my model don't "belong" to the UK. I live in Denmark and bought the phone in Denmark.
Don't know if you mean UK model as in European model.
I bought the phone off-contract (it's not branded it anything), so it's not depending on any carrier.
Well I as have understood it, there is no UK version, only a European version (for Europe).
I have the same model and got the b120 update a few days after it was reported here (i guess most here have the US model). The b150 seems to take longer though

As I understands it Huawei have released 6.0.1 aka B150.

Strange? I received and installed B160 and phone info reports I'm on android 6.0
I have model frd al10
Does this mean higher ota version number not necessarily higher version of Android?
Seems like there are 3 versions (regions) of Honor 8.
EU, US and Chinese versions. (32 and 64 gb)
Anyone knows or can confirm which models have what versions of Android, as the latest available as we speak?
Seems like the EU (FRD-L09/AL19) version is running Android 6.0 - B120 (unbranded - not carrier depending)

All are running in 6.0 update. However some region would have got 6.0.1 update. Some regions would have not got it.
Always there will be one incremental update difference (maximum) between the regions. As all regions wont get the update in the same time.
Ok, let me put it this way: Has anyone with the FRD-L09 model received the B150/6.0.1 update yet?
B141 is out of the box. B150 is slowly being distributed still.
I don't think Asian and EU/US release codes are the same.
India 32GB = FRD-L02 firmware so there's more than 3 regional firmware types
The latest firmware for L09C432 is B131 and that is the EU region, L09C636 is Asia, L09C185 is Africa/Middle East, US is L04, India is L02.
Is not just the modell like L09 that says where your phone is from, is the Cust, like C432, C636, C185, then there is Branded phones like C02 is Vodafone, C55 is TIM Italy and so on....
So for your version if u are from Denmark u should have C432 the latest is B131.
Then we have China modells like AL10 and DL00, C10....
U have a thread with latest firmware here.

Yes, I have the C432 model. However my current build is: FRD-L09C432B120, and there is no update, if I check with the "Updater". The phone was shipped with version FRD-L09C432B120, so so far I haven't installed any updates...

It might be a Beta version. Wait for the bugs to get fixed and get a stable update as OTA
If you need now, you can update manually.
B150 is on the way. Major release.

Which model to chose with Firmware finder for BLN-AL10?

Hi all
I have a BLN-AL10 Honor 6x which I bought few months ago and never used.
With the original firmware I tried Firmware Finder, choosing another model and I had the international version.
After that I went back to the original version, the phone updated itself to Nougat and now I am not certain if I still can make it international version.
Please, advise me, can this be done after upgrading to Nougat? If yes, which variant to chose for BLN-AL10?
Thanks in advance,
Janos

i don't recommend to do that in emui 5.0
possibly brick your device, making it unusable

Help after downgrade FRD-L09

Hello kind people of XDA,
I recently acquired an Honor 8 L09 64gb variant, after downgrading it from N to MM following this guide my model number has changed from FRD-L09 to FRD and my build number is FRD-C675B140.
I am wondering what this means in terms of upgrades etc. Has my phone been rebranded or is it still an L09 just not showing as that in the settings.
Is it possible to upgrade it back to N, if it is how would I go about doing that? If it helps, the phone rooted with Magisk.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I used the EU rollback L09 is the EU version, isn't it? Would I still look for L09 in Firmware Finder?

Can I rebrand AND update to Oreo simultaneously?

Hi everybody, I've seen many guides on how to rebrand Mate 9 and on how to update to Oreo... But as I'm a beginner on this subject I would like to know if there is a way to do BOTH at the same time:
I've got a chinese MHA-AL00 running stock Nougat and I'm tired of all those chinese notifications and HiApp crap.... I want to rebrand to C432 or c636 (don't know the difference) to get full Google integration (mainly for Assistant support) instead of that HiApp sh*t....
Can I flash it directly to an international Oreo?

I think you should rebrand while on Nougat to C432 (Europe) or C636 (Singapore if I'm correct) and then update to Oreo using the OTA in system settings. I rebranded from AL00 too to C432 and had the Oreo update via OTA.
There is a good comprehensive guide somewhere here about rebranding.
You can. Here is the method, only difference that you have to choose rebrand at the software instead of flash update.
