FRD-L04 B385 still the latest? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I haven't been staying too up to date because there doesn't seem to be much to keep up with. Is B385 from two or three months ago with the April security update still the latest release? Firmware Finder kind of turned into unusable adware garbage, and I didn't see anything indicated newer has been released.

Yes it is the latest.

If you read about a Hauwei product at least once per year, you're probably up to date.
In this case, you are definitely up too date.

Too many upto dates . We are using honor product's since last three years and are clearly aware if their broken promises

question on updates

I mainly use my iPhone 7 plus and haven't used this phone since like two weeks after release. When I switched to this two days ago I got one up date and it has taken me to security patch of may 1 but when I check for software updates it says I'm up to date.
Is there a way to maybe reset the asking process cause it seems like it's not actually checking but rather just saying up to date.

You can always download firmware from sammobile and flash to your device using odin.

Mine's on the April 2017 security patch. It says I'm up to date every time I have it check.
I know there are newer updates, but it just doesn't seem to ever want to do it.

Dear Honor! Regarding updates

Ok I got my phone 4 MONTHS ago! I wanted to update my phone but no updates i contact honor support they tell me i need to wait upto 8 weeks 130A! I wait out the 8 weeks to get my update but i get nothing. I contact the support again and i ask what happend with the update i was told it had been changed for 130B i was told that if i wait to 21 march i would be getting an manual update so around 6 more weeks. I waited those weeks and guess what ah no they cannot do manual updates even tho they promised me that update will be sent the 21. Now 3 april i contact them they tell me 130A and 130B Never exisisted and that 140A is the update i will get in 8 weeks from 2 april meaning if they did not lie again a total of 6 months wait to get 1 update! That sickens me!
Dear Honor get to work on ur support!
Edit :Im still on 8.0.0.120A(C432)
[QRCODE]Just Update ME![/QRCODE]
Same here. I was told to wait until 22. March, and then to wait 8 more weeks. So now, I have to wait until May to get my first update, just like you.
I know the Honor is obligated to send updates every 3 months, so I'm asking what now? Do we really have to wait 6+ months? If so, this is definitely my first and LAST Honor phone. It's just frustrating.
Hello,
Love my phone, but without update I will change the phone next time. We don't have any security updates, so disappointed with Honor ?
I think all of us is disappointed. The view 10 is like a Ferrari without the engine.
Keep supporting the post I will send this to honor
Lack of updates has literally pissed me off. It is better not to buy Honor/Huawei phones no matter how compelling they seem
Shame sbout this company.If they really want to compete with the likes of Oneplus they really have to address the lack of support and otas.
I was close to buying this phone but after doing my research I can see the majority of customers are disapointed with lack of updates .
Firmware finder for Huawei in the app store now has several EU updates.
I've just bought op5t sending this crap back unusable video
Guys! Firmware finder added du updates! Huawei can't support us they can
I updated my Honor View 10 to 130 update through the Firmware Finder, but I'm not sure about the newer updates. It shows that there's a 141 update. Has anyone tried it?
For the moment it's not possible to update with FFH. Il tried several times without success
i am on B130 with Huawei Firmware finder with the Proxy trick and it shows B140 and B141

I fully agree! It's April now and the phone shows an Android security patch level of January the first. The support team told me I might have to wait until June (!) to receive an update. Additionally there is no fully working custom ROM supporting every feature of the phone so far. And maybe there will never be one. Next phone will definitely be an OnePlus again.
yup, i also wonder about this.
i know honor/huawei is doing a great job in keeping the phone up to date with latest patch, but the ota rollout process is quite slow and most of the phone did not get it on time. Currently, my view 10 is still stuck with January security patch despite newer patch for march n april is already available for a long time?
i understand ota is roll out in batch, but it is quite unreasonable if we need to wait for a few month just get a security update, by that time new update will also become available and we need to wait again and this keep going on.
i hope the ota rollout can be improve.
I don't understand Honor, my wife have Honor 7x and this morning received second update... I have honor view 10 and nothing...
I wanted to buy the Honor View 10 in two weeks for my birthday. I have had the Honor 7 so far. I was happy with the phone but not happy with the update policy. I thought this changed? Now i read this and i start to doubt if i should get another honor phone when it still takes so long for the updates and patches to be delivered.

Was seriously considering the v10 myself but their update policy is terrible.Im not going to get one now.Looking at the Nokia 7+ which has Android one and guaranteed updates for 2 years for android versions and 3 years of security patches.I will wait to see how much tbe Oneplus 6 costs first though.

Thank you, but my honor it's not rooted

Why long update release time?

Hello guys,
I was just wondering why it takes a long time between getting update information from alternative sources to getting them from the phone update service?
I realize that there is always a window of 6 weeks or more between finding an update on firmware finder or web sources and getting it from huawei.
Does it mean it is still in testing - is that why FF says a firmware is not approved for installation? Surprisingly, people use HWOTA8 method to successfully install and use it without problems.
This is the fifth week since 371 has been released for 636yet not approved. Though Huawei is not doing too badly, I'm tired of getting Google patches a month and a half late.... & of course, I want to try the face unlock
My theory is this.
1. Whilst the firmware is probably pre tested, there's still the risk of bugs. By releasing to a small group at a time it makes it easier for Huawei to limit damage as if anything does go wrong, a limited rollout means a limited number of potential warranty claims, customer service calls etc.
2. Huawei's update servers may not be able to cope with all handsets calling in for updates at the same time. A staggered rollout will alleviate this stress.

MHA-L29c432 9.1.0.270?

Has anybody received by OTA, or installed by other means MHA-LGRP2-OVS270
It's March 2020 Security patch. I'm on MHA-L29c432 9.1.0.252(C432E7R1P8patch03), it tells me for 270 Approved but I never received any OTA over 252 (only patches)
Edit: Two months later upgraded by OTA to the newer 9.1.0.275(C432E7R1P8) with May 2020 Sec. patch
Few moments ago I got patch 5 ehich foes improve 3rd party apps compatability as described by the updater...
I attached the before and after. I wonder if this update will impact system performance as we know phone makers are sly and want us to keep changing phones [emoji19]

Same here.
Same here, on MHA-L29c432 9.1.0.252(C432E7R1P8patch03). Never got the 270 update so far.
I had my phone on HiSuite and all of a sudden I'm on 9.1.0.275(C432E7R1P8). Phone did not even reboot But must be the real deal because I have the smart battery capacity feature available that was rolled out with this update (also includes May 2020 security patches).
Finally, received also OTA 9.1.0.275(C432E7R1P8) with May 2020 Security patch, and everything so far ok
I've a MHA-L29 running 9.1.0.252 and I also didn't get .275 yet. I live in Portugal. Hopefully it will eventually come...

Support for monthly upgrades ended yesterday

First time that a Pixel device (as far as I remember) ended monthly updates on exactly the expiration date. I totally forgot that October 31 was the last day until I saw that newer devices received updates today while the 3 and 3xl had not.
Yep. We should get one massive "quality" update next month, and then that's it. Since we now have 12 I'll probably keep the 3XL until the 7 comes out to keep the OS updates going since my phone is pretty much flawless, and I just got a new battery for it about 4 months ago.
The Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL will get one final software update next year
The final Google Pixel 3 update will likely only bring some minor bug fixes for the three-year-old smartphone when it finally drops.

Update released today. https://www.droid-life.com/2022/02/07/pixel-3-gets-what-should-be-its-final-update/
Updated my 3XL this morning via OTA sideload. No issues with the update or functionally after update. One issue that is mentioned in this article https://www.androidpolice.com/googl...Taro on,still displays October after updating is occurring on mine (probably everyone) where it still shows the October security update.

Same here.
The two things that we can praise its the improvements in smoothness and it feels mutch faster than before.
With only 12Mb, I have no idea what they fixed beside that.
