Where is EMUI 5?

I have a UK Honor 6x and there seems to be no EMUI 5 update. Has it not been released? Why?

Could you tell phone's serial number? Anyway you can check by Huawei official site, in downloads section if it is already came out or not

What do you mean? I own the phone, it's BLN-L21
There's no way to check, they don't even list the 6x on the emui website.

You have BLN-L21C???

You can use Firmware Finder to download official update package and flash yourself.

Mine is BLN-L21 too, i found the .tar files for both EMUI 4/5 directly checking on their site.

In my previous post i was meaning that without your phone serial, which contains your model variant, i wouldn't be able to provide ya the link for your correct version.

Ok, no problem.

You can update both with dload method and with Firmware Finder.
None of them requires rooting or an unlocked bootloader, but I suggest you to go with Firmware Finder as it's easier and more safe.
Download the app from play store.
Open it and go into settings; enable "Use proxy for install".
It will ask you to download an app, confirm. Download will start. Install the app, go in WiFi settings and enable proxy on your current network.
Set "localhost" as IP and "8080" as port.
Then get back on Firmware Finder.
Press the button on the main page, available updates will be shown.
Select the latest available one (be careful, the type has to be FullOTA-MF-PV, other versions are not flashable) and touch "Check firmware access" (with IMEI).
If the update is the latest available FullOTA-MF-PV one, and the firmware check tells you that your device is not approved for installation, tell us and we'll find another way. Else, touch "Get an update through proxy".
Open your updater in settings, you'll find the update.
Start the download and remove the proxy from your WiFi settings.

Any OFFICIAL OTA for Honor 6x BLN-L24 after B360?

I have problems with the updates, my device only stays in B360 and I can not update from Firmware Finder :crying:

You will have to use dload.
BLN-L24C567B366 is the current version I can see on FF site.

That's true

Seems to be rolling out fast -- My fresh-out-of-the-box-yesterday 6x got a B365 notification last night. Over wifi, btw (still haven't thrown a SIM card into it yet). I suppose I'll let it update at some point soon -- what could go wrong ?

to place the sim card implies a problem with the updates?

Nope, didn't mean that at all. Was just saying that that to show that it has nothing to do with carriers (which I guess we know) - it's coming pure OTA via the internet.

But still a sim card may be needed to register the IMEI on network to get the OTA. It may get without sim but i have not received any till date on any of the honor phones and ota shows after couple of minutes of sim registration

Just saw an update notification this morning, its installing now. I got mine right before thanksgiving (and installed an update then too).
I'm actually very pleased with this phone and the firmware. They let you uninstall all the 3rd party crapware and most everything else (google crapware) can be mostly disabled.
I just wish I had the lineageos email program, I don't like the honor one as much.

this cell phone can be very good game, the consumption of ram is very little so it has good autonomy

Interestingly, my wife's 6x, which she has been using on mobile network since early November, is still sitting at B360. So far, there's no update available. Strange...

OTAs are pushed in phases, sometimes it takes a long time for an update to arrive

UK Updates

Hi. I got an Honor 9 through Three in the UK approx 3 months ago. It came unbranded and is currently on C432B100. Has anyone in the UK received any updates since getting their phone via OTA. I have already questioned this through HiCare chat and they have stated that there are some security updates coming soon. I previously had a P9 which never received an update in the 2 years I had it. Live chat also said that the updates are done in batches but i doubt there are that many Honor 9's in the UK to receive updates that warrant it to be put in batches.

Im stuck in the same situation, still on B100 firmware, with, what seems like no hope of any updates, im waiting on official oreo, as from what i have read, huawei already has the correct partitions for project treble, and someone has got oreo treble working on a mate 9, which has the kirin 960, and i think someone else got it booted on an honor 9.
i guess its just a waiting game for now. oreo is in beta, so i expect an official update soon.

Just use the firmware finder app to spoof updates to your device. I used this and am now on B180 working fine.

do the capacative buttons work on B180?

Ive got firmware finder installed, and can download the latest firmware, i'm assuming i need to then flash the zip with TWRP, only problem ive got is that I don't have a microSD card.
unless you can perform a 'fake' OTA with the firmware finder app?
It also says that the firmware is not approved for installation when I check access

i've found a B180 firmware on ff and used the in app proxy to install but got an unstable network message after 65% which then reset to 0. Am i doing anything wrong?

This is a bug in firmwarefinder, happens to me also sometimes. also you guys dont need a custom recovery, leave everything stock, bootloader locked and frp and the HWFF update can still be done. When unstable network message occurs for me it always helped to stop the HWFF proxy and restart it, then when everything is downloading well i leave the phone alone till 100%. Then update starts in the same way as OTA directly out of settings menu. No need for recovery, sd cards etc. Only make sure that you get the FULL OTA package and proof your imei first. If its not approved the huawei check wont verify the firmware and the installation will fail (without consequences).
approved firmwares are B120, B150 and B180 as far as i have checked myself. For the other ones i think the best is to install the nocheck_recovery

Hello
You can use also Funky Huawei. However, it is not free. But, it works fine.

Do tools like funkyhuawei and dc-unlocker execute more sophisticated code than you can do yourself?

Hi. Just updated to B180 via FF proxy. Had trouble getting it to download via WiFi so used my mobile data and worked perfectly.

I finally got it to work, successfully on b180 now, don't see why b181 etc.. is listed as they are not approved for install

It just lists all of the firmwares that are available for the model. There is a seperate check whether they have been approved for install.

I think the proxy in FF is only to trigger the download. I always shut it down straight after the download starts.

Ok, I think not.
See demo: https://youtu.be/pt5pWPhcsW4
There's a short pause when you shut it down, but it resumes quickly afterwards on your standard connection.
Of course, there is nothing wrong keeping the proxy on during the download.

An update for people on B100 in the UK. I updated the other week to B180 via FF proxy. I received the OTA for B182 just now and everything working fine. So at least it still receives updates. One further mention, I previously had a p9 before my honor 9 and across almost 3 years this is the first update I have ever received. It makes.you wonder how bothered Huawei are about their phone updates.

Thanks, UK on B100 as well, didn't realise there had been so many updates. I've just installed FF, can you tell me which version of B180 you selected? Was it the full version or the update?

Thanks, I've started the download of the 3GB update file with the proxy then removed the proxy and it has continued. Downloading over a 4G hotspot so might take a bit of time. Hopefully I'll be updated soon and hopfully Three UK allow VoLTE for this handset.

Update issues after Downgrade

Hi all, I have downgraded my p40 pro to 131 to get google apps working. Then tried auto updates and it tells me that there is an update but same version 131, updated to 131 using auto update but it still keeps telling me that I'm on 131 and same version of update available. Connected to PC and use Hisuite and same story, tells me 131 update available (which I already have) and nothing else. Was able to update to 154 using proxy but now same story, it keeps telling me that 154 update available which I did auto update but I still get notification that I there is new update to 154. I cleared data and cache both for Huawei Core and Update app but still same story.
Please help!?!

You will need to use Hisuit Proxi & firmware finder to get more upto date firmware.

hi, should I update it using FullOTA-MF or OTA-MF only? thanks

Select Full, and use the check availability option to make sure its an approved for install as well, else it will fail.

When I did mine, No. But remove or backup any personal stuff off your memory card if you have one, just in case. Note if you've done the GMS install, make sure you log into All you're accounts, ie YouTube etc first before upgrading firmware. Cause you won't be able to add later.

Update: Ok found it, it is via the advance button and paste the link there to check if it's approved or not.
Is this done via the HiSuit Proxy Advance button? how can i check if it's approved or not?

Use firmware finder to check it's an approved version.

Hi im having the same problem. I tried to manually update to version 10.1.0.161 after installing gms from 121. Still cant get OTA. Its been 2 weeks.

Hmmm we are all on C636. No idea what went wrong. Only difference is 4RP1 and 5RP1. Any difference in those?

Same situation here, I downgrade to version 131 o install GSM and now the phone won't update.
I had to update it using HiSuite and now I'm on 183 version.
Hope there is a way to fix the OTA updates on the phone.

getting regular updates after installing GMS via googlefier

Doing some research I have found what is happening:
On your P40 Pro, in the "About phone" screen you can see the build number and then a number between ( ), example: Build number 10.1.0.131 (C636E8R5P1)
The number after the C will tell you the version or region of your firmware, in the example C636 = version/region 636
When you downgrade using a different version/region you will loose the OTA updates on the phone, and this will only be restored after you install your correct version/region firmware.
You will need to find the correct version of your firmware and have the "dload" version, and install it from external card. There is a video showing how to do this, but the link on the video is for a version/region 636, if you have a different version/region it won't fix anything.
Once you have the correct firmware and install it, you will begin receiving OTA again. This process, at least on my phone, erased everything, so be aware of this.
