OTA update to Android 7+Emil 5.0 in Sweden...?

Hej...
Today morning i've got notification then OTA update till Android Nougat + EMUI 5.0 is ready to download...currently I'm running Android 6.0 + EMUI 4.1 on FRD-L09C432B131 in Sweden and I'm not participating in any project.
Is this stable update and, or, anyone else got this...

Well, this is a surprise !
B320 is the current build in beta

they could be opening the beta to more people to get more data on performance etc, or it could be stable

But if they opening beta for more people...then I think they should ask if somebody want to be a beta tester and start using beta version in daily use...instead putting update via OTA...

I am from Sweden with the same version of honor 8 (FRD-L09C432B131) and haven't received it

id wait a bit probs still beta rn

Hi all, I'm from Italy and I also have the FRD-L09 model. I haven't received any update, but for the B131 I waited almost a month. Anyway on the EMUI International page, on G+, there is a Brazilian guy which also received the update.

He says stable, but I doubt it. Is he the one having it?

I guess it's stable, but do check the changelog if there's something mention beta or test...

It's the exact same size as the beta-update for 320, so I'm guessing it's the beta. Plus if you check around online it says that EMUI 5.0 should be released in Februari!
I'm from Sweden, in the beta project and on the 320 build FYI and I don't think it's likely that the beta-build number is the same as the stable one.
Just my thoughts though

I asked to Honor page on Facebook and they said that nougat is still on test and it will be available for the end of February.

I just wanted to say that the beta build is extremely stable. It could be released today. I had only a few minor bugs (translation, smoothness when swiping pictures with fingerprint sensor, ...). So you can go ahead without worrying about your phone

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.

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.
I will post on here when I get it

Supposedly a user on the US l04 variant got the OTA. Here is the link, see post #16 https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/nougat-t3540230/page2

According to this http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_roadmap_details_when_midrangers_will_get_nougat-news-22852.php the Chinese variants of the Honor 8 also had nougat that started rolling out on the 16th

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.

No not a beta, official.

Is it safe to take this OTA if I'm rooted with magisk, decrypted and some stock apps uninstalled?

Flashed this yesterday here in the Netherlands.
I'm not noticing alot of differences between 194 and this one.
Battery life seems about the same? Can't really say that in 2 days.
For the rest it's pretty much the same old rock stable emui experience

you can find the update file (update.app B197) also in the I-Net if you don’t want to wait!
Search for : L29C432B197 update.hicloud.com download
For processing, read here too ->http://www.hard-reset.com/huawei-mate-9-hard-reset.html

Be careful!!! It is much safer to wait for OTA update!

No, that doesn't work. B197 is not an OFFLINE firmware, it's ONLINE only meaning you can't use it for DLOAD.

i know this procedure from my old Honor 7 and it has worked flawless there.
But after reading (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/figure-how-to-flash-firmware-t3504781/page4) it seems to make no sense for the mate 9. I had corrected my post now.
Sorry for the inconveniences.
BTW: how about this suggestion? -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72467865&postcount=54
i think, it should be possible to do. Maybe...

Well it's about time!

Try by going on system update -> click on the 3 dots in upper right corner -> force update by clicking on "download latest update".
Be aware that if the phone is new, there could be 2 days of wait before it gets registered on the network. Did you have your sim card inside of it?
