Hi there, so I think that everyone has B380 now... But I haven't got the update yet, so I'm still on B360 so I'm wondering if anybody else have the same problem.

Same
I have the FRD-L14 in the US, and I'm also still on B360
No update here Europe (Slovenia)
No update here in Finland either (on B360). I'm wondering if they might give priority to those still on Marshmallow and provide update for B360 last (just speculation). That would be logical and even quite fair.
same here in Croatia
asked the customer service, they got no clue

Firmware Finder doesn't work though, when you get to recovery to update it says it failed to verify package.

L04 doesn't even have B380 on Firmware Finder yet. Our last update was in the beginning of January. It has the December security update. It's now April.
I don't think asking for a monthly security update three times a year is greedy.
Guys.
Before you all rush out and try to install this 380 update.
The battery life on 380 is alot worse than it was on 360.
My phone has never been rooted, never been played about with.
Only had officially released OTA updates.
Yes you will be the January security patch but that's about all.
I wish i had kept mine on the 360 that was stable and better than this 380
John
Agreed the 380 update sux's big time, battery is shocking. I'm almost at the point of giving up on this phone because of the very odd battery performance.

You may have to use the dload method, or flash it via TWRP

Did you get the ~1.4GB OTA released April 2nd or the ~2.2GB one released on the 29th. The 1.4GB version was also released again on the 29th. The update notes in the later release mention fixing the "OK Google"/Google Assistant bug in the camera app and say they improved power consumption. The earlier release notes were just a copy paste of the Nougat/EMUI 5.0 update (B320 or 324 I think? I don't feel like checking). I'm really hoping we get post-380 in all regions with March security updates and bug fixes sometimes soon. B382 is out for L02 (China?) already.
Bump, still no update avalible
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
I also did the manuall install with the dload method.
But as the battery drain there is no on B381 it is for
me evan better then it was on B360
If someone want to do it also manuall with the dload method just read
the page 4 and page 5 from the links below.. it also has the download link
for the B381
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/firmware-b386-frd-l09-t3600156/page4
If the firmware is not for you and you need to use the FF for it..
Just look at the you tube in the link below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpeZOK7ATB8&t=125s
And after you downlaod the firmware dont update now.. but choose to update later..
Then go ahad with the dload method and install it manually..
It is the same as you would get it OTA but it just forces the update.. nothing more
At least as much I have understand it from the experiance users
I got my update from 360 to 381 three days ago (L19C432 in Finland). So the update is clearly still rolling out.
Hi all,
Apologies if this is an obvious question but I am trying to ascertain the upgrade path for my UK unlocked (region 432) Mate 9.
After waiting in vain for months for my phone to get the Oreo update OTA I finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade it via Firmware Finder to 8.0.0.363 (C432). I would now like to continue applying subsequent upgrades via FF (i.e. those for which my EMEI is authorised) to receive the latest Google security updates plus the recently offered Face Unlock.
My question is...... do I need to sequentially apply all of the Google security patches (e.g. February, March, April, etc.) or can I jump straight to the upgrade that includes May's security patch plus Face Unlock (8.0.0.368)? Are the security patches applied incrementally or would 368 contain everything I need to jump from 363? I would rather upgrade my phone once to get to 368 rather than 3 or 4 times.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Your phone will find and download the latest firmware. You won't need to do multiple firmware installs.
At the moment though FF is playing up. I'm on C368 and waiting for my phone to pick up C369 which is release and authorised according to FF.

Hi,
I live in Egypt and the Honor View10 is NOT officially sold here so I bought it from the hihonor UK website. I noticed that I never receive OTA updates despite trying to check for updates from time to time. When I wait for too long for OTA and it never comes, I use Firmware Finder which is NOT working nowadays for some reason & honestly I'm not a big fan of it since my phone is a flagship and relatively new so why not getting OTA updates directly from Honor?!
Chatting with Customer Service today revealed a schocking thing. I was told that I should be using the phone in Europe with an European SIM to get updates since my phone is not supported in my region!!! I told him that my phone is the international version and it was unlocked (sim free) so how come I won't be getting updates just because I'm not living in Europe?!! all he said is that he'll forward my complaint to the dev team to investigate but no promises
But is this really the case with all other brands or it's just Honor/Huawei?!
I'm here not to knock any brand down but paying around GBP 450 for a phone that will torture me just to get OTA updates is a thing that I regret now very much - especially that they have all their attention nowadays on their newer phone (the Honor 10), which is pretty much identical to the Honor View 10 but with a notch! and my phone seems like it was forgotten very quickly!.
If this issue is not resolved, I'll drop Honor/Huawei brand entirely from any future considerations! a hard move on my part because of their excellent hardware but I can't pay at least ~ USD 500 for a phone without having OTA pushed to me wherever I am in the world!!!

Well first of all this is bull**** that you need European sim to get updates
Kindly mention the version you are currently on.. Just to notify you, updates are quite slow on view 10 so it's like 1 update in about 2 months
There are ways you can debrand your phone and change it to US, Indian or China version as well getting updates shouldn't be a problem, at best use Vpn to overcome any geographic restrictions

Thanks for your answer. I'm quite sure their customer service wasn't right and my sim has nothing to do with updates as I bought it sim free in the first place. I was wondering if there's any way to convert my phone from European to US and install their Oreo 8.1 ROM with the EMUI 8.1? I obtained an unlock code from their website but I kept it aside as I'm not planning to use custom ROMs untill official suppport stops completely.
I'm currently on the BKL-L09 8.0.0.160(C432) - bootloader is locked and no root or any modification has been applied to my phone.
Android Security Patch: May 5, 2018
I know that there's the B162 update which has EIS + June security patch + some fixes for sound...etc
and there's also the B163 update with has July security patch.
I'm not interested to install VPN's for daily use as I'm not super worrying about privacy, but I installed and tried several free VPNs and configured them to any European country, but checking for updates gave nothing up till this moment I'm writing this. I'm really pissed off!

Well yes 163 is available for your device, u can always use firmware finder for update, lucky for you full ROM is present on firmware finder, not just incremental updates, u can use this
If u get any problem installing this just search for "dload" method and it will update just fine

Not everybody I know in Spain has 162 update, the OTA are rolling out in batches, perhaps with a VPN you could get the OTA in a easier way, but wait for a few days to check if OTA is available

I found many people bricked their device because this method has high chances of failure.

I will wait for the end of July and hopefully I hear something about an update showing up in Europe but I'm still very pissed off because this model has been very quickly ignored in favour of the subsequent notched model!! I have never ever seen a company release pretty much identical hardware consecutively!! [emoji80]

I used the dload method on my c675 to update from b130 to b151.. Then used the system update to go to b161
As long as the dload contains the exact ROM for your phone it will work.
Other than that use system update.
HFF is useless to my phone.. Always rejects the update from them.

I am confused myself because for each firmware version, there is ota and fullota and for each of these, there are three files and I'm not sure which one is the actual update. For example if I ignore the B163 for now because it's not approved yet, the B162 OTA for example has three files in it and I am not sure what to do with them. For example, some people say to unzip the update.zip file inside a dload folder and some people say just keep it zipped and put it on the root of internal storage so I'm confused a lot.

In the dload method you must use all 3.. But for your model
I give up on HFF... It's useless now other than downloading full ota maybe.
Let me find the link explaining the dload method... Except change the c675 to your number... On the dload method you will have a fresh device wiped off all your data.
Imho I'd wait till you get it through system... The b161 installed perfect.
I don't think HFF is official and is having problems...I deleted it as none of the files seem to work and always gets rejected.
I'll link to the form that had a detailed dload method I used and was successful with the b151.
For dload always use full ota.. With system update you can use partial.

If you want to try to force an update
Find the rom you want to upgrade to
Download the full ota.... And follow this guide

We have an update every month, perhaps aren't the update you are waiting. In September, we will receive GPU turbo update.
If you don't want unlock the bootloader the only thing you can do is wait, if you don't care about your bootloader, unlock it and look for few ways to flash an update

understand
But Huawei updates are based on regions
Only solution is manual flashing
I'm in America with a Indian phone with a American sim.... And I got c675 Indian region update in America..
Just be patient..... You'll get it.
I imported my phone from the UK and using it in Egypt which doesn't have this phone sold officially. I have complained again to the customer service today that I'm not receiving OTA updates and he insisted that I won't be having updates because I'm not using a UK sim and that's their policy so I am seeing now a contradiction between what you're saying and what I was told by the customer service!

agreed. we get updates. sometimes SIM is needed but sometime doesnt. I got bunch of updates on my 6X from China with Indian SIM. anyways, user can dload the full firmware for updating it manually.
Hello seems like my parents are having the same issue. The phones are bought from China and are BKL-AL20.
But looking in about phone it states
Modell: BKL-L09
Version: BKL-L09 8.0.0.110 (C432)
So they seem to be running on very old version. I'm pretty sure that they got OTA updates the first time they opened the phone. When I now try to update the phone says that there are no updates. C432 is Europe and my parents are in Sweden and hence using a Swedish sim-cards.
Is there anyway to get the phones updated, preferably without loosing any data or the hassle of unlocking bootloader and rooting the phones?
Edit: I tried phone updater, HiSuite updater and HiCare updater.

Won't that wipe data?
It's November now, I'm wondering if the Mha-l29 will get the gpu turbo update or not. I was exited when they said the mate 9 was supported, but they didn't include all of the models?
huawei fake , nothing in Firmware Finder too
The Japanese version has it with the latest update. I have that version, but my device is not approved yet.
MHA-L29C636B377 here, I installed the update early through HWOTA but it seems to have been approved for the past few days now in FF. I didn't notice much difference in graphics performance to be honest. And there seems to be even more bloatware than before. I ended up going to OmniROM and graphics performance seems just as quick.
Just got updated to v380 and as far as changelog is concerned, GPU Turbo is included.
LOL, of course we in the USA will have to wait a couple months to get this one. I just got the 375/October update
yesterday.
Got mine. Via OTA. MHA-L29
And just zuuus said. Its just the same.
Im just hyped for pie because of better navigation (finger crossed).

Sorry, not sure did you already try Firmware Find and are the firmwares installable by DLOAD':
Huawei Firm Finder
Quickly, easily and freely find your Huawei phone's firmware. HiSuite Proxy's official integrated firmware finder.
www.firmfinder.ml
For the Phone Model, enter MHA-L29, Region c636 and scroll down to EMUI 8.0 firmwares.
E.g., to b378, as on the screenshot
Take the URL of the File List (e.g., open and Share the address, Copy to Clipboard), here it will be:
http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/filelist.xml
Replace filelist.xml by e.g. update.zip to download the file:
http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/update.zip
Similarly for the other two zip files:
http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

Check the names and subpaths in the filelist.xml, e.g., this is also the ChangeLog:
http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/13/v3/f2a0f38f024f49348c3e62f4b94008ef/full/changelog.xml
Edit: I see now you asked for b377 (not b378) but it would be the same/similar
According to b377 ChangeLog, GPU Turbo comes with b377.
Be aware that it also means that Bootlader has been upgraded with the installation of b377.
Therefore, downgrading from b377 (or newer) to b376 (or older) would brick the phone
How come I couldn't get any update for my phone?
I've tried to check update via three dots method and via HiSuite as well. I've been waiting since August 2018.
I'm confused with so many methods to update and quite concerned with custom firmware of not being able to use Banking apps.
Me too. I did not receive any update since August 2018 and i am still waiting Oreo,
Bump. Still no update. Disappointing Huawei. Never buy Huawei product ever again
Here in Italy we only got Oreo B562 and October security patches. Now the device wouldn't receive any update since Official Software support is gone.
