Ther are some debranding- instructions for Europeans and US to L22, with informations for updating to Oreo.
It shoud be possible, just wait after debranding to L22 for automatic OTA-Update. But I never heard from anyone, who got ist. Gerneraly the last update I have seen for L22, was B369. Firmwarefinder shows only updates half a year ago. Are these infos true or is the only way, to use after debranding a seperate couple of actions, to get Oreo?
Often I see also questions for help, to get back from oreo to nougat. Special reasons well-known?
Thank you for any information!
Did you get any update via OTA after debranding.
Because I did from b340 to 350 and then I updated to Oreo manually back in july.

After debranding was B368 and I got after very short time B369 automatic and later B340. Now it shows
BLN-L22C675B369 EMUI 5.0.2 and in last line Custom Version CUSTC675D001.

Hi there
I am still on build NXT - L29C636B193 with June secuirity patch.
I have the dual SIM L29 4gb gold variant. I am in the UK.
Still waiting for Nougat. From reading around it seems that almost everyone has already recieved the official OTA...
I have also seen people manually flashing the OTA but I am worried I may lose my warranty and make certain apps like Android Pay unavailable.
All advice is appreciated
Thanks:laugh:
If you want to have warranty, stay at stock.
There is a major difference between nougat and mm (in look and performance for me). I dont need my warranty because - 1) ive bought it in china , 2) what does warranty cover? if i crash screen - warranty is worthless, if i crash software - i can fix it by myself - so its useless...
I ve swaped soft for european L29C432B320 from DL-00 and i dont care about OTA or some****.
Just flashed, rooted and using as always. For me root is necessary, so warratny is useless anyway.
The only thing is that if something bricks your phone like e.g. melting in pocket (vide SGS Note7 ) there is nothing you can do...
So - for me - just manually flashed nougat and root it and its ok.

So can I do this without losing warranty or rooting?
Because I want things like Android Pay to still be intact.
Thanks

Are you in Europe as well?
Because I want to know if my imported Huawei Mate 8 will receive an official OTA from Huawei...
Thanks
I receive the Ota only to the converted C432.
On original C636 no Ota Updates
Can I load the latest update onto the device so that the system update menu will recognise the update?
Maybe use dload or somrthing?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi there
When I contacted the European chat helper in the Hi care app, they said that my model the NXT - L29 will not get OTA updates while i am not in Southeast Asia?
I don't know if this true as it sounds bizarre, most devices are still updated when not in their home land.
What model number is yours?
Thanks
checksum error
Hi there,
the update appears and it starts to download, but most of the time, I get a checksum error. Only 2 times (out of perhaps 8 downloads) it downloaded properly, so far. The device restarted and got stuck at the "Your device got unlocked and can't be trusted." and "The device is now booting" prompt. I let it rest for more than 3 hours, but nothing happened.
So: none of the categories in the poll apply to me: I seem to get the update, but cannot install it.

Are you also on the L29?
Which country are you in?
Did you root or unlock the bootloader?

I finally figured what was wrong: I had a bad (as in not accepted by the system) update in the dload folder of the sdcard. Thus even after flashing TWRP via adb or the stock firmware upgrade, that was tried and denied, first.
Once I removed that folder, I could successfully install TWRP and the latest CM/Lineage build (alpha-4).
To actually answer your questions: Yes, CH, and yes, bootloader unlocked.

On the firmware downloader app, a new update has been launched but it is B330? Emui 4.1?
Take a look below

I had manually uppdated to B521 and tried to update to B563 trough the Firmware Finder without success.
Then I downgraded to B193, tried update to B563 and failed.
Updated to B211 then and did factory reset. After restart I got new firmware showing in system update in settings.
So I´m guessing it´s official OTA update as I didn´t update through Firmware Finder.

I was on L29C185B180, and the 321 update (4.1) just hit my phone on Thursday.
I recieved my OTA update today on from NXT L29636211 to b563 im in the UK with China dual sim international Mate 8 purchased from wonda mobile. Went very smoothly. Now enjoying official Nougat.
I had received the update to Nougat via OTA on my Honor 8 early February. I, however, had to rollback to Marshmallow within a week or so as I had extremely poor battery life after the update. The rollback package on the Official Honor (US) Website didn't work for me. So I had used firmware package to switch back to Marshmallow. The current model number is FRD-L04 and the build number is FRD-C567B122.
I'm not sure if I'd receive future updates via OTA. I'm wondering if there is any patch introduced after the original update to Nougat & EMUI 5.0 and whether I should try manually upgrading again? My phone isn't rooted; could you provide any steps that would help me try a manual upgrade?
Thanks.
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.
In Firmware Finder is new ROM with build number 386.

What it mean?
Because updating was always possible with the version so labeled.
Someone found an answer for Charles to get this update?
I think none of these 3 packages will be able to be installed. If you are not satisfied with B360 or B380, simply go for B381. The battery and the performance are great. Even though the "close apps after lock" feature is still bugged (every time when I unlock my device, facebook and instagram etc are in background instead of closed), there is NO drain and the battery life is better compared to the B380
Actually I've still not received the B381 update

No, sorry. There are 2 threads about B381, a search engine and of course - google.
This thread is about B386 and it has nothing to do with something else.
I have this phone for about one week now.
It is a very good phone.
I have been reading a lot about the flashing or upgrading to the latest firmware.
As I have understood you must first go to MM to be able to use Charles or FF method.
When I got the phone it was on MM but it updated only to B360 and not to the B380
And now I see there is also the latest B386
I have the L09 model
And my question would be, since I dont want to root and install twrp and not evan force the update with FF or Charles.. I would like to ask you guys how long does it usually take to get it via OTA by the normal official way?
Or do I have to use the FF way?

The official OTAs appear like a month or two after the updates in FF. Basically, they are the same. So far we do not have any news about the B386 update. As far as I know it carries the April security patch. I recommend you to go for B381. I am already using the B381 for a few days and I find the battery life to be the best so far on Nougat.
Thanks @qtoo941
For now thats what I wanted to know
My wi fi at home is broken
As soon as my provider fixes my internet
I will give it a try with FF
Thanks again

How did u managed to Switch to B386?
I have a MHA-L29C636B158 mate 9. I have rebranded the phone from the chinese firmware. MHA-L29C636B181 is available but i am not receiving any OTA updates. knowing that when i rebranded the phone i received an OTA update and thats it.
Please help
In your case you have to update manually via Firmware Finder.
After rebrand some users told that they received updates, other people told did not receive. So, it is better don't wait too much time and force update

In step when you will search for rom, type model MHA-L29BC636
Notice that B189 appeared (number 97776) - it is latest rom for C636 region on Android 7.0
Check firmware access without IMEI
And if yes, download and install it by guide.
