You will first see the new firmware link at XDA here, then couple months later only you can see the OTA strike your device.

We are all waiting badly for this update, since we all have been early birds and using the pre release version

I'm not sure how people having been trying to update. I first tried just using the system update on the phone but it showed nothing was available. I installed HiSuite on my PC, connected my phone to it, followed instructions and voilà, there was the update. Possibly a timing coincidence, but I post what I did here, just in case people haven't tried.

I've been trying the Updater app every morning, and this morning it was just there ready to go!
Did it OTA over my home WiFi, no need to connect with HiSuite.
Sorry to leave you Samsung, but I'm really loving this Huawei phone.

Malaysia! Seems like everyone getting the update is from Europe. Believe this is for the European release. Kind of sad that they neglected Asia ex-China devices. Guess we have to be more patient.

The B135 (in the chinese version) it's already with the improvements for camera?

Nougat Update January 16th?

I ran the beta for a while and I wasn't able to find any during the month or so I used it. I imagine it'll be a little bit after its official release before we see theme support.

This quote from "techtimes.com" says:
The Android 7.0 Nougat update will take the Honor 8 phone's build from FRD-L02C635B130 to FRD-L02C635B360.

It's kind of strange since I've been running L04-*B360 (same build as mentioned, but US variant) for ~couple of weeks now via the Charles update thread. It runs great, but I would be surprised if they released the exact same version of the beta I'm on as the "final release" version.
If it's the same version I'll just stick with the b360 build I'm on. I suppose it's possible that each "region" version of the H8 will wind up on some slightly different version of EMUI but that doesn't really sound right either.
Here's an attachment of my current beta build 360:

So there's no point in waiting for the final release in February? Just apply for beta, install 360 version?
That'd be disappointing by honor

Huawei is really starting to tick me off. That want to be "bigger than apple" but for updates it seems like North America is in the back of the cue.
Seriously, release those updates and release that source code so we can get custom Roms running properly.
Otherwise Huawei phones will not be on my shopping list again.
You make it very hard to like you.

They seem to have a very small team working on the US Beta (maybe only 1 person even)
the Beta releases were:
2016.11.11 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B317
2016.11.24 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B320
2016.12.08 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B324
2017.01.03 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B360
With a couple of small same number fixes in between
At this rate I don't see much else getting done before February.
Many have already gone up to the 360 beta using this method why wait ?

Yes it's a real shame.
I have been told by them via Google+ that those of us on the UK beta program will be being an update in the next few days.
It won't be the final but will be an update of some kind.

Update through HiCare?

Hello, so I'm currently waiting for the Nougat update to arrive on my Honor 8 (L09) but I noticed that I can upgrade with HiCare, so is this recommended or will it wipe my device? And should I use HiCare or just wait for the OTA in the updater app?

Hi! I did the update to EMUI b360 via the Hicare app on my L09 honor 8 and it went just fine. Lot of people here did the same without issues. It does not wipe the phone, but I still recommend you to do a backup before proceeding.
EMUI 5 works flawlessly, I really like it.
For your information, my phone is *not* rooted. I don't know what happens with updates when the phone is rooted

Sorry for being a total noob at this, but what do you mean with Final Beta? Is this still Beta software? Where battery optimization isn't that good etc. Or is it the one they are rolling out using the update app for some?

"Final beta" means exactly what it says on the tin. It's the least beta version. The next version will be the final release. Assuming that the report is correct.

Who said anything about final beta?

There may be a bug regarding safetynet so that Android Pay and other services might be affected. Source: https://club-us.hihonor.com/honor8....google-pay-nor-safety-checker-both-fail-.1577
Hope someone can confirm it here. So, be patient for those who haven't gotten the rollout. Let bugs resolved first.

WTF is a 'final beta'?? A beta is a beta. A final is a final. Let's not muddy the waters chaps...
B360 is the latest stable release that's being pushed to everyone. It's not a beta!
The reason that some have it and some don't is because they can't push it to everyone at the same time, they do it in waves depending on your model number, location and IMEI. If you don't have it yet just chill, it's on its way. It was due for February release anyway so think yourself lucky that you might be able to get it a little earlier if you do, if not you'll be getting it on time as expected.

I'm in Beta, too and just received the update - 350 (432log). It's being downloaded now. I'm from Poland.
