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.

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.

Which rom has the latest security patch? Can I install it?

Hi all,
I have an MHA-L29 and it is currently running 8.0.0.360(C567). The security update is dated January 2018.
My company requires that my phone not have a security patch more than 90 days old. Is there a ROM compatible with MHA-L29 that has a newer security patch? What is the newest security patch available in any MHA-L29 ROM from Huawei, does anyone know?
And how likely am I to be able to install it? This is a retail US model phone, so far as I know.

It's better to buy other phone
Your requirement is too hard to satisfy.
You have US region and latest version is 8.0.0.360.
Even if Huawei will post new ROM need 2-3 weeks more to test and approve.
Additionally Mate 9 released at November 2016. 15 months ago. No guarantee that 8.0.0.360 is not last...
Ok. There are other regions with newer security patch, like C636. But you have to rebrand your device (unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install patched recovery) - so beat your security. Sure, it is temporary, but in advance you have to rebrand back if region C636 will not post next ROM in 90 days...
As I know, region C00 (China) has latest security patch and regularly updates. Rebrand to C00 if you are not confusing by hieroglyphs and specific memory manager (it is very aggressive to background apps)
P.s. to rebrand when using Oreo you have to rollback on Nougat's ROM, then rebrand using oeminfo in HwOta, then upgrade to Oreo.
This way cause oeminfos from Oreo are different with Nougat's files.

Gotcha. Thanks!
I was afraid of that. I'm OK with Android and Linux in general, but I don't want to do a lot of hard, risky work over and over again just to keep my phone running. Company is recommending Google Pixel 2 or iPhone. Not exciting, but I'm getting too old and lazy to hack my Android devices once a month.
Thanks for your help!

Good news!
Version 366 appeared in FF. It has security patch from 1 March. But you need wait till it approved by Huawei.

Agreed, Huawei and honor are piss poor with updates, often 6 months behind with security updates.

I Agree too..... honor really messed up with software updates and their EMUI AND MAGIC OS is useless and excessive bloatware and No Bootloader unlocking either and low values after sales.

For some reasons, mine skipped 129 and went straight to 137 today.

Just be patient. Got people saying that it should be around mid March for them to roll out to all regions and I got mine a day early. Mine didn't get the Feb patch too. Not sure if the Feb patch is included in the patch i received yesterday.

My previous phone was a Huawei and there was a problem with the updater, a lot of people did not received updates for almost 6 months, so they released an updater update to fix it. I hope it's not the case this time ?

Which is the right OTA file?
Hello I tried to update my Honor 20 View via the app. Unfortunately, then in the eRecovery it failed.
Do you know which file is the right one because several of the check was positive?

Is there way to force update.
