Nougat update is here UK and maybe other countries

Good day all I have two Honor 8s both with UK B131 firmware. Been checking updates for Android 7 but not luck.
So I updated my Huawei ID software to 2.4.1.304_OVE one one deviceand then checked for firmware update of my OS and low and behold the new update is there. 2.38GB and downloaded.
I check once again with my other device which l had not updated the Huawei ID, each time I checked for new OS it came back No Update.. So I once again updated my Huawei ID to the one above once installed I checked for new updated. The new update was there did the download and installed reboot and it's all good to go...
So give it a try if you still not seeing new update each time you try..
??
Now to try out the Twin app...
Things I have notice that has been fixed in Android 7
World clock now list County and city for La Réunion - Saint-Denis. Had to use Mauritius settings in the past.

Glad to hear that. Can you provide screenshot of baseband version, security patch level date and kernel version?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Huawei ID update available here too, FRD- L09

Was that from the Play store? There is no update here for Huawey ID in Ireland latest in Play Store is 2.3.3.312_OVE
Would you have the APK?

@Nyssa1104, thank you, sir. This is the same version which i already received couple of days ago. It is from 18.01.2017. I wonder will the OTA update from 6.02.2017 be pushed soon.....

No its not from play store. Go to the Huawei ID once open in the menu Check for updates.. This is what I did and it will show the new Huawei ID update and just download and install no need for reboot.. There after checking check for New OS..
Just a address note I have since done this to two more Honor 8s (4 now) and they all update to. Android 7 this way.. Maybe there is a trigger in the new Huawei ID software?

I should image so in the near future but in the mean time going to see how this Nougat pans out as it is..
Side Note
Twin app when used with Whatsapp is a must for dual sim devices and it works with no lag on the phone.. All default OS settings and firmware

I got my Honor ID update but no OS update here.
I'm in the UK maybe it will turn up later

Did you updated the 06.02.2017 OTA? If you did, does the Android security patch still on 1 December 2016? Thank you sir

@fnudaniel83, i'm still on the software from the 18.01.2017. I will wait before update, because from 7am to 20 pm i have 6 hrs SOT and 40℅ battery left at my usage. The phone is very responsive and fast. I mean i am very, very glad.
My posts in all the topics, related to the Android 7.0 are provoked by the same questions as yours- is there any real differences in versions, or Huawei are shocked by themselves and they dont know what they doing? [emoji23] [emoji23]
You are welcome!

Yeah I'm currently on the current frd-L04c567b60 Android 7 date 03.01.2017 updated via firmware finder. I'm having issues with Bluetooth won't connect to my car system, so I'm hoping there's a new update that will fix that.

New firmware B387 for FRD-L09

In Firmware Finder is new ROM with build number 387.

Unfortunately, no flashable

Most likely it updates only the security patch to the one from May

Hello
Perhaps tomorrow we will have new updates?

Lately I look every day if it is something new out or not
And looky look.. one day I dont look at FF and you report something new..
Thanks for that one...
I have read online that we shoud get till end of May the 7.1.1
But we will see...

Any idea what these updates are for? It's not like they work anyway, so why put them on company servers etc?

I think that we will get some update soon .. first of all it was months ago announced that
we should get till end of May the noughat 7.1.x update..
Then again the chineese version of honor got an update ( B387 ) where the camera is updated
( to use the monochrome camera and some new modes )
and they got also a battery optimisation fix ..
So I think this all is just some things happening before we get some updates...
So it is good that something about our updates is happening...

Hi. I don't think so. My international unlocked FRD- L09 never received official OTA. Manually flashed all versions till now- B360, B380, B381... Waiting for OTA is a time waste. Huawei's own software update distribution are total nonsense.
I also doubt we will receive 7.1 soon...

Emui 5.1 does not mean Android 7.1.
Huawei P10 is running Emui 5.1 on Android 7.0.
If we get it, I'm sure it will be the same thing for us and also not in May.

I have FRD-L14, and got the B385 update OTA yesterday

Thanks for the info
Something is definatly happening
Couse one contact person from Huawei reported to xda user svetius regarding source code and the partnership that we should expect something happen end May or early June
And since yesterday in FF there is also new firmware B387
And some of users got yesterday updated
So I would say something is going on
Lets wait few more weeks and see if Huawei is doing what promised

Yeah in FF new FW is shown, but half of users still haven't received update to Android 7.
I don't expect any "revolution" in updating our devices.

Download Firmware Finder on your device. Open it, and change your model to FRD. In the list of updates, updates like FRD-B391 are for your device.
(I cannot however guarantee it but it has to be it because updates like these included C00 region just like your device has. Still, I will download the firmware for you and will confirm if it's indeed for your device)

Just look for BLN-L21 firmware ending with 360 or 361.

Just register your phone through HiCare and wait a couple of days. Push updater once in a while. Why use firmware finder ?

Has Mate 9 reached dead end?

Last update was released since 29 July, does this mean Huawei dumped the phone development?
It is real unfortunate to know because the phone is really a beast and working flawlessly till 9.1...
Shall we say R.I.P. Mate 9 Dev.?

View attachment 4835827

yes, dev for mate9 is dead

I was able to update to 9.0 and the phone is so smooth still. I'm not sure what to get next. I like the screen size and shape and the other phones that are over 6" have a thin screen so video is actually smaller. Oh well...

Latest for c432 is b252 with EMUI 9.1.0 (received last month by OTA)

Is that the single file that shows up on FF as of 7/29/2019? MHA-LGP2-OVS 9.1.0.252. Do you have the name of the file or files?

It was received by OTA:
MHA-L29 9.1.0.252(C432E7R1P8)
as on screenshot
Frankly, I don't see that one on FF (MHA-L29C432)

I have c432 but I'm in the USA so maybe I won't get it unless I have a euro sim card? When I used FF it starts to walk me through downloading the file but changing the routers mac or something maybe to trick the phone into thinking it's in Europe...

Hi guys
I hope i am posting in the correct place but i have the single sim version of the mate 9 and would like to rebrand it to the dual sim version, i am based in south africa.I checked some youtube videos on how to do it but i need to have the bootloader unlock code, apparently huawei has stopped users from obtaining the code, is there any other way of obtaining the code or is there any other way of rebranding to MHA - L29 which has the dual sim option.

The way and the price to obtain BL code, but also the way how to rebrand HEAVILY depend on what is your current EMUI version.
(,If you don't care about that and just follow some YT guide, you can brick the phone)
So, what is exactly
- EMUI version in Settings/System/About
- also from Settings/System/About, what is the month and year of the Security patch
See the attach

Unfortunately, you are not on Nougat or Oreo 6/2018 or older to make things cheaper and easier
See this answer (yesterday, last in the thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...e-firmware-versions-gpu-t3917826/post80486637
If you go with their Telegram group service (cca 30 EU), you should ask them to rebrand - IMO, they will do it (they have to flash some firmware upon erasing by Testpoints, anyway).
They flash remotely, you have to provide TeamViewer connection
If you go for your own (also by Testpoints) you will have to use (VM and) Linux, you will have to find (maybe pay for some) drivers and board firmware.
Shortly: you would have to downgrade to eg Nougat as described there, then to buy BL code for 4 EU from DC Phoenix, then to rebrand (there is an older thread here on XDA about rebranding Mate 9 with Nougat or Oreo Sec Patch 6/2018 or older), and finally to upgrade back to Pie
If you search for Ministry of Solutions, they can do the same/similar thing for you (requiring also to open the phone and use Testpoints, and TeamViewer) but they will ask more, about 45 EU
You could also search and explore Chimera and FunkyHuawei services, but AFAIK, they will cost even more.
With Chimera, you would not even have Bootloader code at the end to reuse, if ever needed

Are you on 9.1.0.252, does it show now something like a Patch in Settings/About?

No, it doesn't show anything. Still on 9.1.0.252 and still on security patch from 5th of July

Firmware finder is showing 9.1.0.260 and 261 (October security patches) for me but not approved so far.
