I went today looking for my daily dose of disappointment looking for the update or any news of it, only to come across this.
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/huawei-p8-max-dav-701l-b203-marshmallow-update-asia-pacific/
Super hyped, i am only wondering can i flash this on a European DAV-701L?
It mentions somethins for a CUSTC which is not the same as mine but it IS a DAV-701L.
Your thoughts on this?
Nice, mine is CUSTC100D002. Don't know if it will work, not want to brick my phone
Just like mine, it is also CUSTC100D002. I am on the verge of flashing but i am having second thoughts...

Good find. Thanks for the news. It is definitely the genuine Firmware update for the P8Max and the link provided is directly from an official Huawei server. I downloaded it just for the sake of it as my CUSTC number is for Middle East and noticed it also has an OTA update section in a separate folder. However, when updating it stated incompatible firmware and aborted the process-no harm done to the device or existing settings. I wish someone could find a way to change the default CUSTC numbers so that we could mess around with it.
I would say if anyone is looking for the version for their own phones then simply go to the Huawei support section on their website and just keep an eye on the downloads section to see if your version pops up.
So it looks that we are finally beginning to see the Android M coming our way but it sure is a slow and painful journey.
I have it installed. Everything works perfect.

what region are you in ?!!!!
I am in Romania, Europe. My phone is a Huawei P8 Max DAV-701 and the CUST was very different that that in the update. Everything works perfect. I have double tap you wake function and other new functions.

Hi! Could you kindly explain how you managed to install this update on your P8 Max. My one is the Middle East [Kuwait] version of the firmware. Also does anyone know what to do with the flashable OTA update folder in the separate folder found inside the download pack?
Well, after reading the friend from Romania succeeded, i tried it myself with my CUSTC100D002 and it sailed through the installation... No problems, just rebooted, doing a check and will get back...
I did exactly like in the tutorial that you will find at the link post above, were you find the rom.
Huawei browser is missing, Huawei Swype keyboard is missing, launcher seems to have only 4x4 and 4x5 settings (pretty sure the original 5.1.1 had a 5x5 also.)....
Quite disappointed so far...
I've had with those a-holes. One step forward, 10 steps back. Going to ask for a refund on this POS. No respect towards the buyer/user whatsoever.
I like the update, don't use the Huawei apps. I love the EMUI 4.0 themes, use Dark Ui theme now

Literally 2-3 posts above
Things are missing, huawei keyboard (which was actually nice), Huawei browser, the 5x5 which is quite important as the 4x5 feels like half the screen is unused.
They really pulled their eyes out with their own hands.
If i don't find a way to go back to 5.1.1 i'm going for a refund.
well mine didnt work. Followed the direction got to the update screen says it cant find the up date. Yes i moved the file to external sd. Is there anything im missing ?!!!!!

You have a European cust correct? Do you know if it matters for us with the EU model if the image linked here is for other countries? Any issues with something? Other than those missing Huawei apps someone else mentioned.

No problems here for now, i can still select 5x5 layout. Love the empty tray button to remove all active apps, no more slide. Also nice is smart screenshot, double tap to unlock and draw gesture when you write C on the screen, it will open the camera app.

Yeah wifi works. I didnt test bluetooth, will do tomorrow.
I live in India and was desperately waiting for this phone to release here.. But don't know why they released a single sim variant here.. So I had to import it from china.
AL10 variant works fine with Indian sim.. everything is perfect but just had a few question.
1. Does this phone has volte support.. If not then will It get volte support in near future like Indian variant.. - I cannot make calls from JIO 4G sim with its inbuilt dialer... (I have to keep the JioVoice App running to receive calls.. )
2. What about the updates?? Will I get EMUI 5.. ever??
3. This is something strange.. Apps generally do not gives notification on its own.. Like WhatsApp.. I have to open the app to get notification and receive messages.. Seems like it just does not work in background
Anyone?? Please

You've asked a lot, my friend. It's hard to predict the future. I can only try:
About VoLTE: I guess that it won't come with EMUI 5 for AL00 initially but it may be add later as VoLTE will become a standard feature soon in China too.
About upgrade: I had Chinese Honor 7 and upgrade to marshmallow came late and I had to download it from a Chinese website. I hope that it wouldn't be the case with Chinese Honor 8 since Huawei is committed to bring upgrades to every Honor device every 3 months.
And about your notification issue: Check app settings regarding notification, permission and battery. Make sure that all involved settings are enabled.
I too got a honor 8 FRD-AL00 Chinese version....
Please help me as well to remove chinese apps and as well as to get emui 5.....All others r getting it..... But not mine..... ????

It doesn't have VoLTE support even in Indian version too. It is little hard to use JIO Dialer. But still, there is no other option

Nope. I don't think so. You should be prepared to stay in the current version itself.
If you have got the Indian Version, you will get it for sure Till Android O.

This is common EMUI problem across all Honor mobiles. Updates might fix that. But its not for your model.

A few days ago I got the update, it wasn't EMUI 5, but regular security update B171. I'm pretty sure that EMUI 5 will follow. So be patient. Nobody has really gotten EMUI 5, some owners of US, UK and Indian models received beta version, but it's still buggy.
Regarding Chinese apps, a lot of them could be uninstalled. Those which can't, could be deactivated. Just use force stop and disable in settings-apps. And disabled apps (any other as well) could be removed from the home screen. On the screen pull two fingers together and you'll get option to hide any app you wish.
Install google play store and any other google app by your preference. Download and change theme - this one looks very promising: https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.si/2016/11/emui-50-dark-beta.html
change wallpaper, install Nova launcher and find better icom pack like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themezilla.pixelui&hl=en
Just download icon pack, change every icon on your home screen with the new one, save configuration and uninstall icon pack.
You gonna have totally western phone like your friends and you'll feel better.

As of my knowledge, This model won't get updated.
I do have Honor 5X like this. Im staying in EMUI 3 till now.
If it is US, Europe, Middle East and Indian region version we can guarantee that it will get for sure. Not for this one.
It certainly will get EMUI 5.0. There is no reason not to get it as the phone was launched this year. There are beta versions being tested now. Guess the actual update might only happen early next year. Check the official chinese forums for the updates: (use google translate and you will understand most of it) - http://club.huawei.com/forum-2404-1.html
And this one is specific to FRD-AL10 model as well: http://club.huawei.com/thread-11277704-1-1.html

You are lucky to get update unlike me...
I do not have the Honor 8, but its bigger version - the V8. However I need to follow the Honor 8 forums here at XDA and the chinese forums for the developments as Honor v8 does not have a dedicated xda forum. I am still on Android MM.

If you are having KNT-AL20, then you will get the EMUI 5. But it will be little late.
I have a KNT-AL10 that would also get EMUI 5. It's in closed beta testing now. I know it may be late, possibly by March-17
Its 2020 & still i am using Honor 8..model is FRD-AL10 and EMUI 8.Does it support VoLTE?
Hi, just as an update/ fyi, I got the 1.24.400.2 update this morning in the UK.
I have a Taiwanese U11+
Does anyone know what improvements this will bring? Is it the HDR10 update?
As usual, it only said 'software improvements'

Me too, I think this is not the HDR update
But is not taiwanese version , this update is for Hong kong version.
Is there anywhere we can find out what improvements/ fixes are included with this update?
I did a quick Google search and nothing relevant came up
can you please check what is the google play services version? it might have updated that (as far as I see the EU version uses the Nougat play services)
I think if it was the hdr10 update, they'd list it
Yes got the update as well. Too soon to notice any significant changes but did notice the always on display backlight starts in the bottom middle rather than is lit up from the bottom right hand side, so the display looks a bit more symmetrical in very dark environments.
Mhhh.. Nothing here. (The Netherlands)

It includes Android security patch level December 1, 2017..
I have found that the unthemed navbar was black and now its white
The changes seem display related. Other thing I noticed is I think the display doesn't get as dim as the previous version (which is a bad thing!)

The U11+ shipped with oreo. This update is just "system enhancements".
Things I noticed:
The bottom nav bar is now white when not hidden in an app.
The brightness behavior is now changed. Inused to leave it on "auto half" and now I need it lower.
Screen capture and edit tool now works very smoothly.

ok it sounds like to me they did an update to the tw version just before Christmas which was 1.23, then the same update got applied to the HK model but have named it 1.24, and i imagine they will do the same to the EU model shortly and call it 1.25 (or something like that)
I have the white navbar since I got the u11plus, EU version. October patch.

How long until its available via OTA?
In my experience one week or until next update.... ?
Can this version be rooted with Magisk?
No, no root is available.
Can someone who did update confirm that the OEM Unlock is not grayed out ?
OEM unlock is greyed out but active.

We need developers who are willing to spend a lot of time and resources on this phone. The development for this phone has been marginal and things are unlikely to change much.
The newer Mate 20 running Android 9 has to this day still not been rootable .... everything pointing to one single thing: if you buy a Huawei phone you get stuck to Emui and unrootable phone. I myself plan to stay on 8.1 forever unless root and twrp become available.
Got OTA today. The problems with sound distortion that I had when streaming using LDAC and HWA at the highest bitrate are gone. They added the gesture navigation from Mate 20 Pro but this still need work as it's not smooth enough.

I don't think there is a way to check per say, but you should see big differences in how it processes images. For instance Blue Sky or Greenery will not be over the top like in P20 Pro. The Mate 20's version of Master AI is much improved over the P20 series.
I hope this version would help fix some historical problems, especially the one with smart unlock stop working that really piss me off.
Said this, I hope at the time Huawei will release the OTA it will be stable enough to don't let me regret Oreo.
Just for fun, in Italy sometimes major updates appeared before on branded models, I think this is merely due to the attempt to please the operators.

Is there anyone here running on beta that can confirm it was resolved?

Hello I`m updateed my Nex S with the OsUpdate_1.3.apk it is the Version 8.8.7 the size is 3,38 GB all apps and daten are Safe and everything seems to Work : D.
The batterie drain is awesome only 1 % after 15 Minutes .
Please share some shots and battery usage!! How is overall experience
Hello the battery consumption is noticeably better 20% consumption in 6 hours. I would say that it was worth the wait, it is still a beta in May, the final version should come. Data and apps are retained and so far everything runs smoothly via SMS or Whatsapp. GPS and Bluetooth also work perfectly. I am a long-distance driver so I have good opportunities for testing. The only thing that bothers me a little is the designs they are no longer in the former folder and also no longer in * .itz format, they are unpacked and are now in the download folder, I suspect I'll get it out! You definitely don't do anything wrong with that update can also wait for the final.
I come from Germany the text was translated with Google hope understandable.
Unfortunately I have not found an option to upload pictures think because I only post the 2 times.

This update is only for PD1805_A !!!! Attempting to install other models could render your Nex S unusable! It is a beta (but very stable) the finale should appear in May when the global version receives this update is unfortunately not known but will follow.
Hello ,
last Week there was an Update to Version 8.8.8 156 MB and Today 8.8.10 130 MB so the Final should appear soon. The updates improve the System Stability so far have not noticed any differences, but the new one only came today
Apparently there are 2 new Chinese Public Beta Versions of Funtouch OS 10.
CURRENT PUBLIC BETA VERSION I HAVE ON MY PHONE IS: 8.8.10
new Public Beta Versions: 8.9.1，8.10 Both versions seems to be some like 158mb.
Yet i don't get any of them, seems the OTA push is delayed!
And I don't know what they do, what they fix or not fix!
