Nothing sure for now. They're working on it.

We are not sure about it. But probably no........ ?

Never say never :angel: I have seen anything from yes we are to no we are not. So really it is all just speculation. If they want to keep customers happy they better live up to their two-year update quota that they said they would do.:angel:

There is no official info yet. But in my opinion there will be update, but later. They will have to test and debug Oreo on announced devices first.

I believe there will be an update as well :victory: I mean even the Moto g4 is getting it ?

It has not been confirmed yet. They will need to test it out and do debugging, etc. So we just need to wait.

Apparently Honor has promised at least 24 months of software updates for the Honor 8 so it will definitely be on its way eventually, hopefully with more Android and less Huawei bloat.

VPN for update?

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/
You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.
if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I read the thread but I'm out of luck cuz I don't have wifi no router near me. To complicated to do that.
:/
I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

All essential features are here. Getting 5 to 6 sot.
I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

AH! I forgot that the new version of EMUI is better than the current version. It's the same with most android device OEMs.

New firmware B387 for FRD-L09

In Firmware Finder is new ROM with build number 387.
Unfortunately, no flashable
Most likely it updates only the security patch to the one from May
Hello
Perhaps tomorrow we will have new updates?

And looky look.. one day I dont look at FF and you report something new..
Thanks for that one...
I have read online that we shoud get till end of May the 7.1.1
But we will see...
Any idea what these updates are for? It's not like they work anyway, so why put them on company servers etc?

I think that we will get some update soon .. first of all it was months ago announced that
we should get till end of May the noughat 7.1.x update..
Then again the chineese version of honor got an update ( B387 ) where the camera is updated
( to use the monochrome camera and some new modes )
and they got also a battery optimisation fix ..
So I think this all is just some things happening before we get some updates...
So it is good that something about our updates is happening...

Hi. I don't think so. My international unlocked FRD- L09 never received official OTA. Manually flashed all versions till now- B360, B380, B381... Waiting for OTA is a time waste. Huawei's own software update distribution are total nonsense.
I also doubt we will receive 7.1 soon...

Emui 5.1 does not mean Android 7.1.
Huawei P10 is running Emui 5.1 on Android 7.0.
If we get it, I'm sure it will be the same thing for us and also not in May.
I have FRD-L14, and got the B385 update OTA yesterday

Thanks for the info
Something is definatly happening
Couse one contact person from Huawei reported to xda user svetius regarding source code and the partnership that we should expect something happen end May or early June
And since yesterday in FF there is also new firmware B387
And some of users got yesterday updated
So I would say something is going on
Lets wait few more weeks and see if Huawei is doing what promised
Yeah in FF new FW is shown, but half of users still haven't received update to Android 7.
I don't expect any "revolution" in updating our devices.

i got it today and struggling with it now. now jio4gvoice is not connecting . so i wan to roll back to MM

Sometimes, ithe OTA arrives after weeks it got released, like me and a friend when he received B360 (first nougat update) and I got it 3 weeks later
Pretty late answer, but just want to say that I finally got Nougat (EMUI 5). Now I'm waiting for EMUI 5.1 hehe
I actually got it 3 days ago, but only remember this thread today...

That's good, but no words on EMUI5.1 yet

over 5 months no upgrades on c567

anyone heard anything about c567 rom?
it has been 5 months no upgrades, even security patch.
is NA huawei still alive?
I agree. Other regions get it but not the NA model. Hopefully Oreo comes along soon and gets us updates. Feels like another Samsung scenario.
I've had 3 huawei devices. Mate 2,8,9
Traditionally, the NA device appears to be the LAST to get the updates.
Personally, other than security updates, it doesn't bother me, as the 2,8,9 have been
rock solid for what I do.
Would it be nice to have the latest, yeah I guess. It going to bother me personally not to have
the latest? Nope, not a bit.
only need security patch, system is good.
still waiting...

I guess you could rebrand to something else. I mean, Firmware are supposed to update each month (security patches) but apparently they forgot C567. Rebranding is a workaround until they remember C567 again I guess.
Did any of you try contacting Huawei and ask why?
