Should my UK phone be updating to Nougat? - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

I received my UK/Europe phone today and I was wondering if the Nougat update should be coming through? It did a big 450mb update after powering on for the first time but i'm still on EMUI 4.1.3.
Thanks

I've been trying the manual update check for a few hours now, tried rebooting to see if that might help but so far nothing.

Nougat is mutch better how Marshmalow! (my opinion) No. Honor devices have one benefit... Firmware Finder...

If it's anything to go by, I have Nougat and EMUI 5.0 on my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (same SoC as the Honor 6X) and it is brilliant

Sorry for being such a noob but I how do i identify which update I should select in Firmware Finder?

I just want to update to whatever the latest firmware is but there seems to be more than one when looking at the dates?

It looked to be some sort of security update?

Couple of quick questions..
Did you update it in the end?
Which network are you on? If 3 have you had any probs with 4g calls (VoLTE)?

Dude.
Wait for some days. Also here in Austria we got the Update 2 Weeks ago.
I think is a time delay. How long do you have your phone now?
I do not suggest that Firmware Finder tool. Looks not serious in my point of view.
And that confusion about the lots of updates and files in there? No way...
If you do want do update manually, then do it in a right way and flash it by you own.
Good luck.

Just wondering if you ever got your update. I got the Honor 6x this week and still no update. Am on Android 6 and EMUI 4.1.3. Have spoken to Huawei and Three and have got nowhere. I'm no geek so too scared to use Firmware Finder. Is this my only option??

I'm currently on BLN-L21C432B151
But everyone link posted for nougat or through firmware finder I get
Nrd90 test key and on every reboot I get device verification error no matter which version I install why is this

Three sold me an Honor 6x recently which will not update to EMUI 5 or to Android 7. According to Honor UK Tech support, BLN-L21C432B151 will not update and they have no update in the pipeline. Tough luck seems to be their attitude. Three did not have a clue and will not change the phone. Stupidly (as it turns out) I bought from the Three shop in Canterbury, their take is, "too bad" and if I had bought over the phone from Three direct (or on the web site) I could have simply returned it for a refund. Supported my local shop and realise now that I was a mug, I have no right of return even if you feel you've been "stiffed." No wonder the High Street is dying. Anyway, it looks like we suckers are stuck with what I consider old tat which is outdated from day 1. Thanks, Three and Honor. Now I know who to avoid.

I bought 6x from amazon.uk. Updated to nougat with FF. Had problem with disappeared update app in settings after flashing rom from FF but I found 100-150 MB update somewhere here on xda that fixed it. Since then I am getting all security patches every few months. Did not rooted and not tried any custom ROMs yet. I am getting old I suppose ?

Android 7.1

Hello,
Does anybody know if Honor 8 will get android 7.1 or 7.0 was the last major update for this device?
Could not find an answer myself, sorry if it was already answered.
7.0 is almost done. However, we won't be getting 7.1.

Thank you for answer.
I was hoping for 7.1 update
It's probably unlikely that custom ROM's will ever get camera and other hardware to work as good as on original firmware...

Don't worry. It was promised that we'll get 24 months of upgrades:

That means 2 Major upgrades (7.0) and (8.0) with minor fixes and improvements but not 7.1 or 8.1 if it's released.
If this device will not get any other updates like 7.1.x or 8.x i swear i will never get another Huawei device...

I'd wait, that room in your image it's not Oreo, still nouget. Oreo has started rolling out to the mate 9 so I'd wait until it rolls out to your region, should be sometime in the next few weeks.
That's not Oreo it's just October security updates, and I've had this update about a month ago through normal update. Next update shows as 188 on ff and not authorized yet while other mate 9 versions are getting Oreo.. the wait is Killin me.

I'm gonna wait as my phone is branded 432 and not 636. I guess it would be a pain to rebrand.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
You may as well still update as the security patch is probably newer, just keep looking and Oreo will appear soon too
I've manually updated my Huawei mate 9 to android oreo. (Before the update my midel number was MHA-L29, after the update it changed to M300-L29). Is it possible to "delete" this update and to (fully) reset my phone to the previoust version?

You can downgrade using https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
Unless they change it, the "beta" Oreo on mine, is version 321, so I'd guess the rest should be 3xx or higher?
I thought it was a release version, I never signed up for the beta, but about a month ago, I checked the EMUI
default update program on my phone and it popped up, so I installed it. Had I known it was a beta, I probably
would have left it alone. But, it's been pretty good, one little quirky BT problem in my car. If I get out of the
car while I'm using BT with the car, turn off the car, then get back in, sometimes it won't connect. I have to turn
off BT, wait a few seconds, then turn BT back on and all is good. If I spend say 30 minutes or longer out of the
car, it works fine, but if I'm out like pumping gas and get back in, it won't connect.
I'm living in China, I have the MHA AL00 version. I have received the Oreo update. There is no PC Mode

Update button gone in settings? [Phone Gone Now]

I returned to stock BLN-L24C567B360 via dload method, and now the update/upgrade button is missing from settings above About where it used to be. How do I get this button back so I can do OTA updates? I'm giving this phone to my father in law and he wants to do simple updates and is clueless about flashing. Is there an update apk I can grab from somewhere?

Yes, I restored to stock via dload for build 360. I tried dload for build 365 and 366 and both times it failed at 5%. Also I've factory reset via stock recovery several times now.

Nope, it was regular 360.
Wife made me box it up and ship to her dad, so I no longer have the phone.
I have another one, but I'm just going to sell it and be done with it. No idea what other phone I can get with the same specs for the same price that's not so difficult to flash, but I'll keep looking I guess.
Wait till honor 7x comes out. Or Lenovo zuk z2 has better specs.

7X is already out, $200 on sale at Amazon right now. But it has almost identical specs to the 6X. I expect a year newer phone to be an upgrade, not a lateral move. Zuk2 came out June 2016 and doens't have LTE bands for US carriers. It had very little worldwide coverage with only a few obscure LTE bands. Great specs otherwise though.

OTA | Magic UI 3.0 | 3.1

From 15.March Honor officially in Europe pushed OTA MagicUI 3.0 a.k.a. Android 10 update.
And from roadmap plan it should def also get 3.1 but we will see, nothing officially confirmed.
It is 30.March but persionally i have not recieved it.
And im curous to see ho else did not recieve it, or who recieved it in Europe After 2 weeks.
Very slow updates. This is my first honor device and 100% last because of this in my opinion it is not normal that you need to wait 1.5years to get some android update.
My mothers 3y.o Nokia 5 bought like for 160€ when it was new, recieved android 10 in January, and just recieved March security update over OTA. So im confused, how can it be. Phone that is 3x cheaper is recieving constant security updates and android updates 3x faster than hi-end Honor devices.
I will start.
PCT-L29, Latvia, im still on 9.1 no OTA
Checked also with hisuite.

Updated to Android 10 through normal OTA in Spain. Data preserved, without any problem. Everything works fine. (model XT2019-1, RETEU)
Hi,
I have an issue related the adaptive brightness: it's activated but the brightness not changing (at the moment it remains at 82%). If I modify manually it remains at that value.
I have already:
- disabled/enabled it
- rebooted the smartphone
- reset the smartphone
but the issue persists.
Any idea?
Thanks.
