Apart from B194 loaded as an update, I noticed perhaps very belatedly that EMI is showing as 5.01. Can someone confirm the date of this version?
I can't remember if this was the original or recent?
I have the chinese version (AL00), i recived 2 day ago the b231 update, here's my state:

Since receiving my A700 ten days ago, I have been eagerly awaiting the update to Jelly Bean. My main concern was lowering the heat generated by the tablet on the back lower left,
but I also was looking forward to all the other improvements JB brings.
I've been manually checking for the firmware update dozens (if not hundreds!) of times a day and the tab has always reported that it was "Up to date".
The tab came with (what I have been told is) a really old version of ICS installed (1.017), so the system was obviously NOT up to date.
Decided to check one more time this morning before attempting to force the available update(s) to my A700.
To my surprise there was an update available!
Actually there were 3 updates in total:
1) This update was just under 340MB and updated my A700 to version 1.029.
2) This second update was 35MB - I forgot to write down the firmware version for this one - DOH!
3) Third and final update was ~ 240MB and brought my tablet firmware 1.034 and Android version 4.1.1 - Woo-Hoo!!!
Now to see if the back still gets uncomfortably hot...
Hi folks,
My Shield 32 GB just arrived and is charged up. I've signed on with a google account and done nothing else.
I will eventually root it but want to put it through its paces for a month or so first.
It arrived with KK 4.4.2 (wow! so old!) on it. It offers an OTA update from October 2014. Says it is OTA 1.21. I've seen LOTS of other OTA numbers much later around these forums. Do I have to take the 1.21 OTA before I can get to the more recent ones?
And, by taking the OTA, am I doing anything irreversible that I probably shouldn't do, since I'm eventually a rooting and maybe ROMing kind of guy?
Thanks. I've read up and it looks like I probably want to go all the way to the 5.1 release, once they sort out the speaker-killing bug. But for the moment I'd like to make sure I'm not missing anything before taking the OTA.
Thanks!

I decided to download the update after I successfully activated the device on AT&T's cellular network.
That was a bit of a hassle... couldn't do it from the device (the ATT app said something about incompatibility with the SIM card), the PC online web registration wouldn't accept it because NVidia Shield wasn't listed in the device types, and it took the efforts of 3 ATT folks to get me activated. First one passed me to the second one when he found out it was a device not purchased from ATT (but... dude... here's the SIM and IMEI number that's all you need...), the second one set me up and told me to call another number to accept terms and conditions. Did that, still no joy, found the default APN isn't set up right. Fixed that, still no joy, eventually talked to person 3 that found out they didn't attach a data plan to the device when they set it up... as part of my family shared data account. Duh.
Anyway, I applied the 1.21 and then it prompted me to download the 2.1 update to Android 5.01. It has downloaded. I think I want to copy it over to my PC before I let it apply.

Hmmm. Poked around and found the 1.21 update but not the 2.1 full LTE OTA. Perhaps I'd need root to get at the files. Oh well. I can always download it if I need it. Applying the 2.1 update now.
And I've made it all the way to the 2.2.1 hotfix. Seems stable enough for the moment.
I understand OTA 3.0 got pulled; so I guess I'll be staying on Lollipop 5.01 until they release the fix.
It's a bit surprising that I had to do all the updates sequentially and that there wasn't any direct-to-the-latest. But it didn't take long. I wonder if all these OTAs are clogging up my memory somewhere?
OK, on to exploration!
Marc
the update got pulled indeed, caused all kind of problems, including blown speakers
nvidia employee told us on nvidia forum they would release a new OTA 3.1, targeted end of june
lastest news: it's now targeted end of july....
When will the international S7 receive the July update over the air? And any news about what this new update contains? (aside from the google security patches), any improvements to software?
thanks
I have the UK version of the G930F and I just got the 1-July-2016 update OTA today (12th July).

Any improvements or anything new ?!
Well I only switched to the S7 from an iPhone6 a few days ago so I probably wouldnt notice anything new yet, but I doubt there is as it is really a security patch AFAIK. I had felt some 'stickiness' in Candy Crush earlier, which now seems better but maybe that was due to a phone reboot anyway? Either way, doesn't seem a huge end user change.
Has anyone got the update yet for the Pro series? Stable release was supposed to be released in January of this year, but I'm still on 11.0.0.230 (UK). I'm well aware how Huawei are with updates, but 12 brings a good amount of features.
same here in Bulgaria.
stuck with 11.0.0.230
Almost all from the local android forum get emui 12, but i am without luck.
tried a lot of tricks and nothing..
-software app cache clean
-region change
-with/without sim card.
and no and no.any idea why they do not release update for our c432 11.0.0.230?
or trick how to receive the update package
It will be released at some point, but the issue with Huawei is they're always waaaay behind on roll outs unfortunately. So it's a waiting game essentially.
yea im stuck with.230 for months, even emui 12 is released in my country for weeks now, it sux
That's not happy news.I think that nore than month official in my country and nothing..
Just got it today in UK (on EE)
Well that's a good sign, I'm on Sky mobile and haven't received an update yet, but since you've got yours than it shouldn't take much longer for other carriers to follow I suppose.
not quite, my friend got it weeks ago on same network, im still stucked on .230
Just got .260, still no emui 12
it will come today or tomorrow, just check it regularly
*Update* - Just received an update, but unfortunately it was (.260). Oh well.. Just have to keep waiting
I did get update to EMUI 12 like week ago. Im from Poland. I was able to force it using HiSuite on PC
Could you explain how you did that please? I'm familiar with the modded Hisuite and firmware finder from the P20 Pro days, but some insight on how you managed it would be very helpful.
I did get update to emui 12 yesterday. At first from 230 to 260 and then to 12.
Can anyone confirm that when you've sideloaded GMS, it still works fine upgrading to emui 12?
Yes
As stated above it doesn't break gms, once it's on your phone it stays unless you've factory rest your device.
Received a few days ago in Bulgaria. First update to 260 then to emui 12.
Unfortunately, the battery appears that drain fast.
Before the update, I made 7-8 hours sot, yesterday with the update 4h and 10 minutes..
Hope that it will be optimized..
Two weeks after OTA 12 my GMS stopped working - device is not certified...
Suddenly today GMS stop working. Any sugestions? All GMS apps are useless. EMUI12. Bulgaria.
Maybe a dumb question, but I just purchased the phone about a week ago and updated this morning. I got a notification that said the software update was interrupted and not installed. However, when I go to update software, it says the current software is up to date...
I wouldn't worry about it yet.
Lol, I avoid updates/upgrades at all costs. They xan and do break things
If you're on 12... could it get worse? yes...
