VPN for update?

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/

You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.

if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I read the thread but I'm out of luck cuz I don't have wifi no router near me. To complicated to do that.
:/

I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

All essential features are here. Getting 5 to 6 sot.
I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

AH! I forgot that the new version of EMUI is better than the current version. It's the same with most android device OEMs.

Nougat update is here UK and maybe other countries

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
World clock now list County and city for La Réunion - Saint-Denis. Had to use Mauritius settings in the past.

Thanks in advance!

Would you have the APK?

@Nyssa1104, thank you, sir. This is the same version which i already received couple of days ago. It is from 18.01.2017. I wonder will the OTA update from 6.02.2017 be pushed soon.....

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?

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

@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]

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.

Unexpected update

I had an update today (UK) that I was expecting to be the update to Nougat/EMUI 5, but it was just an update to EMUI 4.1.3. Does this mean the Nougat update is delayed further?

I got 4.1.3. update earlier this month. Nougat has been realeased but Honor on his FB page says it won't be available to all 6X at a once, so we must wait if we want update OTA.

I received the emui 5.0 update about 2 days ago (US)

Maybe it will function as a pre-update, in a few days, you can receive the official N.

Same situation here. Was on BLN-L21C432B130 (phone bought in Czech Republic) and got notification from OTA that there is update to B151 available. Didn't manage to update though, i guess the TWRP was interfering. But made the update through HiSuite.
Update replaced TWRP with stock recovery (and obviously root is gone) but kept the bootloader unlocked. Will leave it like that for a few days just to see what will happen next. Hope the Android 7.0 update (B360?) is coming soon to my phone. If not, manual update is always a solution...

Same here in the netherlands. I updated via firmware finder to BLN-L21C432B151 on april 1st. Still no B360 via Updater.

Update: Got B360 yesterday through OTA. Looks like B151 was only pre-update afterall I believe you'll recieve it soon.

No way ! You're on a island. Can't stand it
* never mind; Czech Republic instead of UK *

I was talking to Honor support and they told me the nougat update is delayed as the initial update they released in May for few builds had users experiencing issues. Per them "Huawei is commited to resolving issues and they said we should expect the update in June".. Not sure how true they would stand on their promise..

I got it today (netherlands).
Still no menu button in the bottom launcher. [edit: it's in the settings].

Any thoughts on Nougat for BLN-L21?

Sometimes, ithe OTA arrives after weeks it got released, like me and a friend when he received B360 (first nougat update) and I got it 3 weeks later

Pretty late answer, but just want to say that I finally got Nougat (EMUI 5). Now I'm waiting for EMUI 5.1 hehe
I actually got it 3 days ago, but only remember this thread today...

I Agree too..... honor really messed up with software updates and their EMUI AND MAGIC OS is useless and excessive bloatware and No Bootloader unlocking either and low values after sales.

For some reasons, mine skipped 129 and went straight to 137 today.

Just be patient. Got people saying that it should be around mid March for them to roll out to all regions and I got mine a day early. Mine didn't get the Feb patch too. Not sure if the Feb patch is included in the patch i received yesterday.

My previous phone was a Huawei and there was a problem with the updater, a lot of people did not received updates for almost 6 months, so they released an updater update to fix it. I hope it's not the case this time ?

Which is the right OTA file?
Hello I tried to update my Honor 20 View via the app. Unfortunately, then in the eRecovery it failed.
Do you know which file is the right one because several of the check was positive?

Is there way to force update.
