Brand new 6X, still 4.1.3 - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

What should I do to get the OTA for EMUI 5.0? I thought this would be available from the get-go but the updater app says "No updates found"

Is there a SIM in the Smartphone? In my case I put it in and an update was found....

Hm, that might have been the case but I guess we will never know. I ended up updating it manually which was a breeze.
Consider this thread closed.

You can use Firmware Finder to get the full OTA package if there is no update from app.

[Q] My Nexus S can't be upgraded to 2.3.3

Device: Nexus S
Carrier: T-mobile
Country / Language: The U.S.
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): 2.3.2
Hello, my cell phone is Nexus S.
The Android version is 2.3.2 now. I want to upgrade to 2.3.3.
However, when I click 'System updates' button in my Nexus S, it says 'Your system is currently up to date.'
Recently, I reset my Nexus S. How can I fix this problem?
Do I have to upgrade manually? I wanna upgrade in my cell phone..
I'm still waiting for the OTA too so I guess they ended the distribution. Who knows

Eventually google will flag your IMEI to receive the update. Theres no telling when you'll be receiving the update or if they're still actively pushing it out. If you don't want to wait then you could manually update by downloading the rom file from the xda thread and flashing it yourself. Otherwise, its the waiting game.

There is a report that the OTA isnt going through. Not sure why, just manually flash it. It's the same as a OTA.
be aware that a LOT of people are complaining about the color correction on the 2.3.3 update....read up on it first, before doing the update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971987
I personally don't mind, but a LOT of people do.
Dont keep waiting for the OTA. Manually update your phone.
I dont believe Google would take so long for the OTA...it is not that everyone born in the world have 2-3 Nexus S each that it takes forever for the OTA to come through...I wonder if they have stopped the OTAs so go ahead and do it manually...
There would be a minor hiccup on how the screen looks after the update...I didnt have a major heartbreaking screen after updating.
CAUTION: Check your version before you update

Android Pay will not work even though my phone is unrooted

I know Android Pay will not officially work on rooted phones however my phone is not rooted and is pure stock and yet I still get the warning message saying "Android Pay can't be used. Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible"
But why? I never rooted. I used root checker app and as expected it says unrooted. Am using the latest NXT-L29C636B321 Rom.
Help!!!!

i have the same issue like you...
after install B321, android pay cannot add card anymore...keep saying "google unable to verify that your device or the softwre running on it is android compatible"....
regret upgrading via these source.....
never update these links....
huawei is different from Samsung....
update already cannot use android pay.
I know why. Android Pay ONLY works with EMUI 4.0 so you have to roll back to B211 or earlier. That's what I had to do as I was on B321 also.

Seems to be working with Android Nougat Beta.
Because Google hand selects firmwares it deems safe tobuse android pay. You cant expect many chinese phones to work with android pay. Besides, carrying your debit card around isnt too overbearing

Try deleting the cache and data of the android Pay app. Uninstall and reinstall it.

Help with B380 update

Hello everyone! After updating my Honor 8 L09 to B360 version via Hi-care application, I found that after a few weeks was already available the B380 version of the software that was going to correct the problem to the battery found when upgrading to Nougat. In recent days, I sent a private message on twitter to page Honor Italy asking for the note when I could receive such updates, and they said that it is already being distributed. However I had read here on XDA that the deadline for receiving the OTA was 14/03, but still does not get me any update notification nor from the system software update either from Hi-care. According to you, I'm forced to proceed with FF? Should I wait? Thank you in advance.

I would wait.
As the update didn't really make that much difference I can't see any reason for you to rush out and use the FF.
It seams to me that people are getting a more stable phone if they stick to official updates.
Wait it will come
When I last searched, I traced the 14th March deadline to German Honor forums. If they do the rollout gradually (as they tend to do), it might take a little more time for other countries. Patience is a virtue.
i think that the update has been retired.... So many people dont get the update

I do not think the update was canceled, partly because Honor Italy has confirmed that will come! However I think @b1tt1're right, then perhaps the time will lengthen
You're right, it wasn't cancelled. It is downloading right now in the stock systemupdate app on my phone.
I'm italian, too, and still no update in system update.

I'm in the Netherlands
In Austria, there´s also no update to B380 available.
we are assuming that the update distribution algorithm is based on the nation, but there may be various criteria according to which updates are distributed.
I'm having no success installing it, though. It fails the update complaining it "failed to check the update files"... I don't know if it's a problem with the update or my phone.

It's a problem with the update... You must downgrade to 131 (emui 4.1) and install the 380 version but 2,36 gb with firmware finder

You left the phone on stand-by while you have lost 20% in 10 hours? You got Nougat with Hi-care and then you received the OTA B380 right? I believe it is important to understand. Honor told me that to see if your phone is suffering from battery drain, you have to charge it to 100% and leave it in airplane mode for 8-9 hours. If at this time you have lost 10% of the phone works as it should.

no, i lost 80% in 10hours ! sorry for my bad english...
i wanted to say : my battery is 100% at 7 o clock in the morning, and 15-20% at 17 o clock ....
it drains so much....
i had update by auto system updater , no hicare...
i will try the charging to 100% and airplane mode for a few hours...
edit : my honor is rooted, i think it not drain more if rooted...
Finally got it :laugh:

I had to roll back to Android 6.0 due to the poor battery and bugs, no i'm being notified B360 wants to install. Odd how B380 isn't being downloaded instead?

New OTA update G935VVRU4BQC5

Still haven't received it but it looks like a junk update.
NRD90M.G935VVRU4BQC5
This software update provides the latest enhancements for Enterprise customers.
One Talk℠ from Verizon:
The Galaxy S7 edge now supports One Talk, connecting your office and mobile devices with one number.
App update:
Amazon Shopping (version 8.1.1)
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-update/
Edit: I received it and it updated Android security patch level to April
Are you sure that the OTA Firmware isn't actually a 7.0+ Nougat Build? The QC builds that I've seen so far have all been at least base 7.0 Nougat.
I don't have a S7 vzw. Yet. Probably within a few days.
Sent from my Galaxy Note5 using XDA Labs
I got this pushed to me too, updating now.
I just checked system updates. There is a new one for me, it include Verizon One Talk and some security updates. Don't k ow if it's QC5. I'm downloading now.

They just now only included One Talk? That's been on the S6 and S5 for a long time now.

Yep. You can return to stock and keep some directory changes you made by using their desktop Verizon Software Recovery utility for Samsung. You'd lose root but the phone will get and install OTA updates.

Installed and used it for a couple of days. Found, that security changes made all calendar notifications on locked screen to be hidden - "some hidden event" & "some hidden time"
I know we will lose root if we take this update but is the update still rootable? I'm rooted on QA4 still and refused to take this update yet as I just received the notification today(Tuesday 5/2/17). I like being rooted with dual speaker mod,and V4A installed. Can anybody confirm if this version is rootable using the Nougat root method? How can I disable the uodates?

If you go to @jrkruse "root for nougat" thread and follow his guide, you'll be able to root the qc5firmware.

I am already on BQC5 and just this morning I got a new system software update downloaded, ready to install message. Odd thing is in the past, prior to BQC5 the notification showed the build number, date and what was changing. Now it doesn't show me anything. It just says there is an update do you want to install now or later.....
Anyone have info on this "unknown" system update?
Looks like this
Software Update G930VVRS4BQC9 for Samsung Galaxy S7 and G935VVRS4BQC9 Galaxy S7 Edge
Android May security update.
Device Stability improvements, bug fixes.
Further improvements to performance.
http://sihmar.com/software-update-g930vvrs4bqc9-galaxy-s7-edge/
Should say further improvements to guaranteeing random lag.

I update fro b369...use method hwota8
In general, you had better check and get system software update from OTA unless you have rooted your devices. OTA is the official way to get update.
All my Oreo-based updates have been through FF using the proxy method. FullOTA always. No issues whatsoever. Running 8.0.0.368(C432) atm.
I would still be stuck in Nougat if it wasn't for FF.
