Agreed, Huawei and honor are piss poor with updates, often 6 months behind with security updates.

I Agree too..... honor really messed up with software updates and their EMUI AND MAGIC OS is useless and excessive bloatware and No Bootloader unlocking either and low values after sales.

For some reasons, mine skipped 129 and went straight to 137 today.

Which phone model?

Just be patient. Got people saying that it should be around mid March for them to roll out to all regions and I got mine a day early. Mine didn't get the Feb patch too. Not sure if the Feb patch is included in the patch i received yesterday.

My previous phone was a Huawei and there was a problem with the updater, a lot of people did not received updates for almost 6 months, so they released an updater update to fix it. I hope it's not the case this time ?

Which is the right OTA file?
Hello I tried to update my Honor 20 View via the app. Unfortunately, then in the eRecovery it failed.
Do you know which file is the right one because several of the check was positive?

Is there way to force update.

Unexpected update

I had an update today (UK) that I was expecting to be the update to Nougat/EMUI 5, but it was just an update to EMUI 4.1.3. Does this mean the Nougat update is delayed further?

Did you try using the firmware finder? Pretty sure the initial build of nougat is rolling out. Try using it and maybe see if theres an EMUI 5 package in there

I got 4.1.3. update earlier this month. Nougat has been realeased but Honor on his FB page says it won't be available to all 6X at a once, so we must wait if we want update OTA.

I received the emui 5.0 update about 2 days ago (US)
Maybe it will function as a pre-update, in a few days, you can receive the official N.
Same situation here. Was on BLN-L21C432B130 (phone bought in Czech Republic) and got notification from OTA that there is update to B151 available. Didn't manage to update though, i guess the TWRP was interfering. But made the update through HiSuite.
Update replaced TWRP with stock recovery (and obviously root is gone) but kept the bootloader unlocked. Will leave it like that for a few days just to see what will happen next. Hope the Android 7.0 update (B360?) is coming soon to my phone. If not, manual update is always a solution...
Same here in the netherlands. I updated via firmware finder to BLN-L21C432B151 on april 1st. Still no B360 via Updater.
Update: Got B360 yesterday through OTA. Looks like B151 was only pre-update afterall I believe you'll recieve it soon.
No way ! You're on a island. Can't stand it
* never mind; Czech Republic instead of UK *
So its 7th of June and No update.....Is this the way they're rolling out the update??.

I was talking to Honor support and they told me the nougat update is delayed as the initial update they released in May for few builds had users experiencing issues. Per them "Huawei is commited to resolving issues and they said we should expect the update in June".. Not sure how true they would stand on their promise..
I got it today (netherlands).
Still no menu button in the bottom launcher. [edit: it's in the settings].

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?

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.

Faceunlock not working

Hi,
With the latest update, I got the faceunlock funktionality. If I try to the register my face, I always get the error message, that face recognition is not possible. Any Ideas?
I heve similar issue. My Honor came wiht 80.0.120 software. There is no face unlock full option. Only locscreen messages. OTA can't see any other (130) update. I have bought this phone in Germay and I am using it in Poland. Any ideas?
Hello, I just got this phone yesterday. It came with 120 (C432) software version and the November security patch. To be able to Face unlock the device, we have to have build version 130 with January security patch. I'm still waiting for the update to hit my Honor View 10.
Is there any way to update it to 8.0.0.130 manually? Honor Poland claims that I can't get official OTA update becouse my region is not supproted.
I have recieved information from Germn Honor Customer Service that my phone will be updated not later than 19th March 2018. Maybe yours also will be affected in the same time.

Where did you get your phone from? Is it unlocked?
I got mine from Amazon.de last week and it was on 80.0.120 but updated itself to 8.0.0.130 (C432) immediately after first boot.
I have bought it in Poland. But it is from german distribution. I do not know if it is unlocked? I don't think so. It is strange. I thought that it will update after first boot. But nothing happened.
I received several updates over HiCare, but didn't get the 130 update. Did anyone tried to update via HiSuite?

Guys,
you're definetly offtopic...
I just got the info from Huawei Germany, that face recognition is not yet released. You can see it but not use it.

No. All stock.
No problem with 130 OTA and face unlock. I'm in Switzerland, bootloader unlocked, not (yet) rooted.
Edit:
Now it's rooted, still ok. Even with this settings :
Works well. It depends on how you have configured, as per attached
As German huawei service claims today is the day. Have any of you received 130 update in Germany?

Not yet, but I think that the last day is 22. March, so there are 3 days to go.
This is a new message from honor service:
thank you very much for your reply on this case.
It usually takes up to 8 weeks after this release date to complete the roll out within 4 waves of updates being sent out.
For the current time being, I can only kindly ask for your patience, you will definitely receive the update until the 12th May via OTA (Over-the-Air) as download notification on your phone.

Basically they keep pushing the ETA to further date.... nice. [emoji16]Just like Honor USA open source masquerade (aka advertising).
I contacted the German support yesterday once again regarding the update and they manually requested it for me. Basically I have to wait for 2 more months for the update, and I'm still on 120 version. I'm very disappointed with the Honor right now.

C432 last officialy issued FW

All,
I am struggeling a bit with all the FW's available from various sources....Can anybody let me know, which was the latetst officialy OTA issued Orea FW update for the European Mate 9 (L29C432)?
Thx!
All,
posted this question some time ago, unfortunatelly without any reply.....I've never got any OTA update since I do own the Mate 9 (fully stock, currently on 8.0.0.365 C432) therefore I run all updates manually through FF.....as FF always have a certain delay in getting FW's approved, I would like to know whitch version is the latest officiall released one and send via OTA by Huawei.
Thx!!
I think Huawei is stopping support for the Mate 9. MHA-L09C432 variant had its last update to Oreo 8.0 with January 2018 Security Patch.
No, received an OTA update 8.0.0.364 C432 on my Mate 9 with security patch Feb 2018 which is faster than my Mate 10, that one is still on the Jan 2018 patch...

I also got the 366 OTA a couple of days (Portugal). Updated phone to March Android security patch level.
Yep, received the OTA on my Mate 9 and the Mate 9 of my wife...8.0.0.366 C432, Mate 9 now is on the same security patch level as my Mate 10 both on the March patch.
Update to 8.0.0.368 was available in FF for me.

Likewise. May security patch.
369 is now also listed.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
I just installed 368 from OTA update. Face unlock, some App Store app from Huawei and May security update.
EMUI also seems different but version is still 8.0.0. After the update I lost configuration of the app icons / pages I had across 3 pages and I had to add the icons back to home screen (not sure if "home screen" is the correct name). For instance, the folder app icons are now different on how they appear and work.
I also found a settings menu where I can configure the home screen like change the effect how the pages transition between them but not sure if this is something new or I just didn't knew I could configure this.
All in all a good update... Thanks Huawei! Can you please now work on releasing Oreo 8.1 and especially fixing the Bluetooth bug? E.g., when I'm listening to YouTube in the car, the video titles don't show up correctly in the radio's screen. In Nougat it worked flawlessly. Appreciated
Yep, received also the 368 OTA update on the Mate 9...my Mate 10 is running behind (again).
Yeah, got the .368 now too.

Honor 8 FRD-L09C432 updates

Ok guys, I bought my Honor 8 in Italy and I am still on B394 update with August 2017 security patch.
Huawei Firmware finder shows last update B403 March 2018.
What do you do? Do you wait for official one or do you download it yourself via FF?
Thanks a lot.
I advice you to wait for IMEI Batch, when your turns arrive you'll be notified about it. I faced the same problem but after some times i got the OTA and now i'm on B401 waiting for B402 February update. If you're rooted maybe you can try some other methods described here on xda
Only go for updates approved with IMEI in firmware finder. I got my device to B401 from B394 with the DNS thing.
Thanks guys, I just don't understand why some Honor 8 phones sold in Europe have more recent updates and some don't.

Update availability is not only related to country but also to IMEI batches.
I'm in France, yesterday someone told here he got b402 in France, I did not get it yet, I will probably get it within next hours/days when my IMEI turn has come.
In FF, we kinda see the future : b403 will be installable in about one month, as 402 became installable in the beginning of March, b401 in the beginning of February...
