Honor 8 august security patch (FRD L02) - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys am an honor 8 user from India, just wanted to know if anyone (Indian variant) have received any updates as mine is still on July patch
My friend who owns a 6X already received this update 3 weeks back
Any idea?
Thanks
And sorry if this is already asked cudnt find the answer so thought of asking

Urs is the only model with the July security patch if I'm not wrong so they're probably laid back with updating ur device. They first released the patch for the US variant since we were stuck on the April security patch. Then for the European models on the May or June patch. Ur update should come mostly in the coming weeks since it bumps the EMUI version and adds camera features.

No updates on my mate 8

Hi recently I jumped from my note 5 to a mate L29 international version with 4gb Ram.
Haven't received any updates since purchase on 5 Jan. . I have heard in the news that the honor is getting regular updates.
But what about the mate 8
Build No. B103
Security Patch Level. December 2015
Usualy the AL10 (Asian Unlocked Version) is getting the updates first... right now they are deploying B156.
I am sure the L29 will soon be in line, as it was recently launched;
Thanks for the reply.
So the L29 still on B103.
Cuz the camera app seriously needs an update and is Dodgy
Would be nice if you keep us updated if you get the update. thanks buddy.
I am on AL10, haven't received any while some others did, any suggestions or something I could do? Or just wait?

Security Patch Update

Is anyone else disappointed that the security patch updates are taking so long to be released. . We're 3 months behind now.

I just got a system update notice an hour ago. Gonna install it tonight.
I've got a HK U11 plus. What region is your phone from?
Cheers
No update for CID 060 yet
Got a new update today, Taiwan version
Software number 1.24.709.7
Android security patch still Dec.1 2017
Didn't specify what is new in patch note
Has anyone tried to contact HTC? I'm very disappointed with the security updates. I thought that HTC was going to be better than LG

Honor 8 FRD-L09C432 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...

Any OTA after 8.0.0.130(C432)?

Hello,
I recieved my UK model of Honor V10 (BKL-L09) today which is on firmware 8.0.0.130(C432) out of the box with Jan security updates. Is this the latest? (I've checked the updates manually several times but nothing!)
I think I've read somewhere that March security patches have been dispatched but I can't remember where I read this.
I still didn't install the sim card yet as I'll need to buy a new one from the shop tomorrow but I'm not sure if this has any influence on having any OTA update showing up.
P.S. Firmware finder didn't find anything!
Also, I'd like to know an approximate date for Official Oreo 8.1 + EMUI 8.1 ROM for European models (as it is the case with the USA models which are on these latest versions out of the box)

On a 432 variant?
I have received OTA 8.0.0.140 (C675). No big upgrades but yes, on my device the ram management is a lot better now.

Model is BKL-L09
Now it's 3 months since we receive updates ... Bah ...
I have never gotten any update still on 120(c433)
I do not understand why it does not make improvements on a still unripe terminal. At least update the security patches .. Bah ..

Anyone with a HK Version getting pie yet

Hi all,
I purchased my U11+ from Wondamobile back in 2017 and have never had an update still on the Dec 2017 security patch
I wanted to know if there has been updates but I'm not getting any due to being in the UK ?
I'm in the U.S. and also have an HTC U11+ (HK version) that's still on the Dec 2017 security patch. Curious if anyone's received the Hong Kong Pie update or know when it will be rolled out ?
they say from HTC , the update comes after 45-90 days after taiwan version...
Exact same here - very disappointing.
Any one updated to Android Pie yet? Any difference in battery life and device performance?
This version will never see an update
I've not had one in almost 2 years since I got the device
Such a shame
No! I bought my U11 PLUS in H.K. 2018 April and it is still running 8.0.0

From their Facebook fanpage, but delayed already.
Same
There is finally a software update for the HK version 1.24.400.16. Downloading now.
Android Pie now on HTC U11+ Hong Kong version!
Can't make this up!
Shortly after my previous post, I messaged the HTC Hong Kong on facebook. Thereafter, I received an Android 8 update (May 2018 update) Thereafter, I received the Android Pie update.
I live in Canada. Not sure if this has anything to do with it or if my security software (doubt it) was inhibiting updates.
Just the screenshot to HTC
Android P now downloading.
I'm having trouble getting mine to update the OTA, once the phone reboots it'll hit 24% and then hit me the red ! . Does this mean I have to flash all of stock RUU?
Yup! Downloading as I type.
Update #1: Damn! It is not PIE!
Update #2: After system rebooted, I hit the check update software button and got this...

Thanks guys
Just done my 1.24.400 May 2019 update
Now downloading 2.19.400.2
It's like Xmas come early as I haven't seen an update since the Dec 2017 update
It might bring new Life to this old boy.
I was considering the Pixel 4 but then I saw that it had the same specs as my current phone ? (albeit it probably does a lot more on Android 10)
U11+ was ahead of its time ....shame the updates were wack
