Nope, hasn't received it yet. Last update was April 5th I believe. Pretty lame and pathetic if ask me. Huawei wants to break into the US market they are going to have to start doing better than this. Had it to do over with, I'd got something else besides this phone.
Oreo updates

There is only a beta release for our c567 so far, to install any of the ones for other regions you're going to have to unlock your bootloader, rebrand, and install that Oreo using the steps in other threads, our mate 9 c567 Oreo should be rolling out as an OTA update in a few weeks so I'd be patient and wait a while, I installed a different regions ROM and want really happy with it at all.
Dear @ revjamescarver,@ Thunderbolt69
thank you for the detailed reply's. Ill probably wait for the ota .I have side loaded twrp but not rooting until update will roll out.
Im trying to like the phone, hopefully the update will roll soon
Happy Holidays

Hello Fellow Members,
I have bought this phone 2 months back from Abu Dhabi when I was there for vacations. The phone variant as mentioned above is Frd-L09C185. Now I am back in India (Mumbai). I am a bit confused with the OTA updates part. My query is now that I am here will I get the OTA meant for Indian Variant or the EU Variant ( I guess that's what L09 belongs to). Secondly if me suppose to receive the updates for the European Variant will I receive them here in India. I want my phone to be updated to the latest version. My current version is FRD-L09c185B102 where is guess B102 is the os version. Request all you experienced guys to please help clear my query. Thanks in advance.

I think its middle east variant. You won't get Indian version update. As India has FRD-02.
So is there no way to update phone over OTA? I don't wanna do it manually as I don't wanna take a risk of damaging it. I am currently on B102 OS version and when I try to update it I am told there are no updates available. So if my phone is from middle east can't it be updated in India?

You will receive the Nougat update. But it will take more months to reach you are you are in Middle East version (Less prioritized)

Seems that your region got the Bet update version today.
If you are enrolled in Beta, you would have got it - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v68848/f1/full/update.zip
You can try with Charles trick to update this one.

ok. Did you receive this update after coming down to India or while you were in Abu Dhabi?
I had received this update - B130 immediately after the purchase in Dubai in Dec 2016 and after that havent received any update.
Try this don´t worry
Tried the Charles app method.. Quite a few times. The update was just 1.39 GB not the 2.2 gb because of which The update failed and dint try there after. Guess will now have to wait for the official push(sigh). I have no issues with EMUI 4.1 currently and in fact quite happy with it. Just bcos of the eagerness to upgrade don't want to brick the phone, especially since Huawei doesn't have international warranty policy.
Is vote support extended by Huawei to honor 8 FRD-L09 model? I am in India and would love to have the volte feature. As of now on LTE is available. Had read somewhere that VOLTE would be soon provided via software update. Also heard that Indian variant FRD-02 has received the VOLTE support

Hey guys,
If anyone's interested, my P9 just received the OTA for L09C636B361. This is on an unlocked/unbranded Australian handset. Obviously, I've immediately started the download...
Time to start mashing that "Check for Updates" button if you're in Australia I guess
Excited! Time to spam the update button

Nothing yet
Might want to check tru HiCare , and go through the early adopters button ...
Still nothing, sure I'll get something eventually..
i have the l09c34b140 and i live in australia (got it from virgin mobile australia on plan). is there anyway for me to convert to yours?
I am on EVA-L09C34B140 as well, heres hoping that we will get some Nougat goodness soon. I got Android 7 running no my old S4 and cant wait till the P9 officially gets an update.
I'm on the same EVA-L09C34B140 and also nothing yet. I bought my P9 outright, but it came with an annoying Optus boot and shutdown screen that I was hoping be rid of with an update, although I'm not too sure that'll be the case.

L09C34 is the Optus version, I got mine outright as well. I dont understand why Huawei will make an Australian model for Optus, a different model for Vodaphone and a unbranded model. They should of just made one model for all of Australia and a tool for carriers to put in their own boot animations.
Chances are, we will not get an update till Optus push through an update for this model. The model the OP has (L09C636), probably has his update pushed through by Huawei directly.
Ah, figures - a familiar story. I had the same issue with my old SG Note 2 which would have been waiting ages for an AU update via Telstra, but rooting it with a Nordic ROM saved me 18 months of waiting. I guess I have to suffer the Optus boot screen post-update though.

dyu reckon we should debrand and just install the unbranded model (if possible) or do we just idle :/
damn it just flashed to B320

If I could practice on someone else's Optus-tainted P9 first I'd then give it a go on mine
The process appears rather more convoluted than my previous Android ROM flashing experience. I think I might wait a bit longer.
i'm on exactly the same firmware( C636B190, which is updated from B168 through OTA) as the OP had before receiving B361..
However I had received nothing.
I bought mine outright at JB HiFi and got the OTA on Thursday night - posted to Whirlpool as well. I received notification when I checked the update entry in settings. Not an early adopter nor rooted or downloaded via the HiCare app.
As for the different firmwares blame that on the carrier not Huawei - Optus, Telstra et al are always slow - best check their websites or ask their Twitter/FB accounts for the timeframe.
Loving the updated EMUI 5.0. :laugh:
Unbranded Australian C636 here and still on B190, check for updates button nearly getting worn out!!
Got the Nougat update last night. Notification details are very hard to read. Almost white on white text. Anyone else got this, or knows how to fix it?
See screenshot attached.

@Tecalote is working on the Nougat version of the NewWorld rom. Chances are, he will probably release this before Optus roll out the EMUI 5.0 update. If you really want EMUI 5.0, you can always flash L09C636B361 via the Huawei tools, then it will be a debranded AU version.

Hi there,
I just received my Honor 8 from Gearbest with the stock firmware FRD-L09C636B130.
The issue is that doesnt matter which region i choose the OTA updater doesnt find anything. Its frustrating since everyone else is already running Nougat.
Does anyone know how to force the update?
PS: I currently live in New Caledonia, which is a French territory on the Pacific.
Thanks!!
Be sure to update the HiCare app to the latest version. Then you will receive the Nougat update in 1-2 days. I received mine the day after purchasing the phone and upgrading HiCare

hi. i just had same situation and solved it with "HW firmware finder" . i cant assure you anything but you should try . so far Nougat and emui 5 is great.
64gb , bought from gearbest, so i thInk we were In the same situation.
firmware : B130 → B360. dont forget to backup your data.
you can install an app called hw firmware finder on google play store. you dont need bootloader unlock or anythIng like that. basically app helps you to OTA update manually. there is an thread about how to use this app. so you can fInd it easily
The answer is : YES. IT WILL UPDATE.
Spoiler
Greetings:
I upgraded to emui5.0 via firmware finder, now that the official update has been released, will I be able to update when the OTA is available for my device?

Hey Sanjay! I am Vivek. I live in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Did you really got the official OTA for Nougat? I bought my 6x like 3 weeks back. I read that a lot of people have manually flashed the update from Firmware Finder and ended up having many problems. I didnt wanted to take any risk and was waiting for the OTA.
I am shocked and happy to know that someone from my country has already got the OTA. So I guess, I will be getting it soon too right?

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.

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...
