You won't get the update unless,your manufacturer or your mobile carrier offer the update. Not all devices get updates, some never get updates at all. Just because there is a new android version available does not mean your device will get it. That is not how it works.
Check with your device manufacturer or your mobile carrier to see when/if your device will get the update.

Have you tried the firmware finder ?
U will find it in the play store.
There are you tube vids on how to use it.
There are also guides on here for it.
There is also the Charles method.
You should have a good look and read though the threads
Maybe you can try to connect it to computer and use HiSuite to check for the update.
Or you "check update" by using your data plan. (The reason I stated this is due to if I check for the update via my office WiFi, I couldn't receive it due to our IT department is blocked update website)

What country are you in ?
Have you contacted Honor via HiCare ?
Google+
It's worth trying to speak to them.
Find out what's happening coz i should have had your update by now
I'm also from Malaysia and I didn't get the notification for the update. I had to check for updates using the hicare app.
Hi there,
I just received my Honor 8 from Gearbest with the stock firmware FRD-L09C636B130.
The issue is that doesnt matter which region i choose the OTA updater doesnt find anything. Its frustrating since everyone else is already running Nougat.
Does anyone know how to force the update?
PS: I currently live in New Caledonia, which is a French territory on the Pacific.
Thanks!!
Be sure to update the HiCare app to the latest version. Then you will receive the Nougat update in 1-2 days. I received mine the day after purchasing the phone and upgrading HiCare

hi. i just had same situation and solved it with "HW firmware finder" . i cant assure you anything but you should try . so far Nougat and emui 5 is great.
64gb , bought from gearbest, so i thInk we were In the same situation.
firmware : B130 → B360. dont forget to backup your data.
you can install an app called hw firmware finder on google play store. you dont need bootloader unlock or anythIng like that. basically app helps you to OTA update manually. there is an thread about how to use this app. so you can fInd it easily
The answer is : YES. IT WILL UPDATE.
Spoiler
Greetings:
I upgraded to emui5.0 via firmware finder, now that the official​ update has been released, will I be able to update when the OTA is available for my device?

Hey Sanjay! I am Vivek. I live in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Did you really got the official OTA for Nougat? I bought my 6x like 3 weeks back. I read that a lot of people have manually flashed the update from Firmware Finder and ended up having many problems. I didnt wanted to take any risk and was waiting for the OTA.
I am shocked and happy to know that someone from my country has already got the OTA. So I guess, I will be getting it soon too right?

All of you. Every single one of you misread the question or you decieed to completely ignore it. And to ask again, anyone who updated their hinor 6x via firmware finder to Nougat will they receive the official update?

I see. And yeah, I am keeping a lot of patience for the official OTA now. Its gonna be awesome. Thanks buddy!
Hello everyone, so i was wondering why I am still stuck with BLN-L21C185B361 and my device shows me that its the latest official version. But i see on the forums many people have received a recent update. Any BLN-L21 users please share what is your latest version and which country. Thank you
Updates may have some delays depending on your region. If you can't wait, use the proxy update option in FF.

Warning; don't use FF app, you will cry on the streets like me.
I too have a BLN-L21C185 and I am stuck on B361, after I used FF, I have problems with themes app, I've lost my FM radio and I can't get OTA updates. So, if you want all these problems, welcome to the world of Firmware Finder.

Patience is the manta here mate. It will come slowly to users.
I have a BLN-L21C432B360 and the notification of the update officially came this weekend, before that i could only force the update by clicking on the 3 dots and selecting "download latest update" (but in that manner, the full package will be downloaded and not only the recent patch updates).
Ok guys, I bought my Honor 8 in Italy and I am still on B394 update with August 2017 security patch.
Huawei Firmware finder shows last update B403 March 2018.
What do you do? Do you wait for official one or do you download it yourself via FF?
Thanks a lot.
I advice you to wait for IMEI Batch, when your turns arrive you'll be notified about it. I faced the same problem but after some times i got the OTA and now i'm on B401 waiting for B402 February update. If you're rooted maybe you can try some other methods described here on xda
Only go for updates approved with IMEI in firmware finder. I got my device to B401 from B394 with the DNS thing.
Thanks guys, I just don't understand why some Honor 8 phones sold in Europe have more recent updates and some don't.

Did you register a Huawei account?
Yes, I got two updates in past.
Just pull the trigger. Believe me, B403 is a solid update.

Update availability is not only related to country but also to IMEI batches.
I'm in France, yesterday someone told here he got b402 in France, I did not get it yet, I will probably get it within next hours/days when my IMEI turn has come.
In FF, we kinda see the future : b403 will be installable in about one month, as 402 became installable in the beginning of March, b401 in the beginning of February...
