UK Honor 6x, BLN-L21C432B140

Hi all, I updated my phone months ago to sort out a problem in games, and its worked fine. However I never received the update to Android 7 or EMUI 5.0. I used firmware finder to update originally, around 6 months ago.
The update seemed to go fine, and the phone has worked great. Would the original update through firmware finder have somehow caused 'official' updates to have been turned off in some way?
Is there any way to rectify this, as I assume most people with the UK version of this phone already have Android 7 and EMUI 5.0 yeah?

If you have updater app in settings amd your phone model shows the correct details(not NRD TEST KEY) you will get update for sure.
If need help let us know we can help

Well this doesn't seem to be the case. From what I can gather most UK handsets should have received the update 3 or 4 months ago. So I think it's pretty safe to assume that my particular handset will not receive an OTA update.

Can do it manually by flashing the file manually with dload method

Thanks for the reply. I might be forced to doing it manually. But I'd really like to get to the bottom of this, what possible reason would there be for not receiving the update yet? It's been months!

Would you believe if i say i haven't got single update for more than on my 5C, full stock MM and was on the factory version for more than year then i gave up and did it myself. I tried all the method of upgrades and downgrades but none helped and even Huawei was not able to identify and push update manually after providing my IMEI. So not sure if you would be able to get the cause here

Oreo update ... still waiting.

I struggle to understand why it's so difficult to get any information about when I can expect my phone to update to Oreo. I understood that it would be updateable out of the box when I bought it back in August, but I'm still waiting. I'm not overly bothered about the new features, but I need an Oreo device to properly test an app I have to update, according to Google Play.
Anyway, I was wondering. It's November the 2nd, Oreo has been about for a while now, I have a 2018 phone running 7.1. I've tried updating through the few legitimate means available but am still being told my device is up-to-date. Trawling the Internet for clues about who has or hasn't got this update, I've failed to find any definitive information. So I don't know if my phone is not updating when it should be, and I'm reluctant to do any hacking. Too many bad experiences there.
So the question is, is anyone else here with a Galaxy A8 (2018) still waiting? I'm on giffgaff, with an unbranded, unlocked (i.e. not network locked) phone.
Thanks,
Paul.

Are you rooted?

Try odin

I'm not rooted, and I wanted to avoid using Odin or any unofficial means of updating. In the past I've just had too many headaches with those approaches. I guess I was really just wondering who else out there is waiting for this long overdue update.

took my phone half a month to see a new update

You can try SamFirm downloader, when there is an update available it will show up.
Odin is safe to use, you can flash official filmware through it without a problem.
It is possible to flash other country filmware with the Oreo update with the same bootloader that you've got.
For some countries there won't be any updates to Oreo, and they stay on Nougat 7.1 August patch.

Whats the other solution you have left?
With SamFirm you can see directly if there's an update or not, its that simple and can do no harm.

I don't see the problem, from SamFirm you get an official update just like OTG, the difference is that its updating right from your Phone with an OTG.
Basically you receive the same update.
But, "Suit yourself"

I mean the actual hardware not firmware.
Don't forget that I cannot see any device that is connected via OTG adapter at this moment.

Problem solved.
OTG is supported only with the original adapter.

Android 11 for x2 Pro is out

https://cntechpost.com/2020/06/22/oppo-releases-coloros-based-on-android-11-beta-1/
*** It wipes all your data. So do backup.
It has Color OS 7.2 and still has GMS.
Download the zip and update in recovery. MAY BE BUGGY.
If you are in Beta, you may not be able to receive beta even when you rollback to 10

Oh I didn't see this. Have a try. I only have the Chinese version.

This is extremely buggy. Reboots, 3-button navigation hitboxes interfering with app usage, random reboots to recovery,

I rollback to Android Q with the file that Oppo gives and it says now "No Sim Card" detected....
My model is CPH2025EU and their file is for the 2025PU... How can i fix that ? :-/

Oh dear, looks like this beta might not be worth trying yet.
But... well done to Oppo on offering it and to those of you willing to flash it.

Same Problem here, IMEI disappears. Guess I have to bring it to service center lol.

You rolled back as well to Android Q ?
I guess we need to wait for an european firmware equals the chinese firmware 11_A_23 as the most recent european firmware for me is the 11_A_18 version.

Yes, I rolled back and got screwed lol.

I'm sure we're going to be several people affected by this issue.
Someone is going to find a solution quickly i hope :-/

The one who can find the solution must be "OPPO" themselves. Since nothing can be done with our device. No MSMDownloadTool nor OPPOdownloadtool (for consumer like us). Nothing can be done here. Guess they have a problem signing their package in the Kernel section.
Mine is Thai version. Dual SIM, CPH2025.
I tried to warn people in the comment section of ColorOS but sadly, I can't comment since my OPPO ID hasn't participated anything in their forum yet. So, I will let it go.

What about flashing a firmware through ADB ?

SIM card will no longer be read when you roll back in China version. The only solution is to install Android 11 Beta 1 again. I can now read the SIM card.
By the way, some people in the ColorOS community in China have similar symptoms.

Well in Beta 11, the phone detect my Sim Card, but i have no date mobile showing up even though i have my Operator setup appearing for MMS and 4G Data... Soits still a little problem.. i'm gonna flash Android Beta 11 then and hope for a second beta for Global version very soon...
EDIT : Beta 11 is really unusable ! The screen goes black and light up like crazy, multiples reboots, the phone gets warm as hell.... So no other choice than roll back to android Q, even if it means that i';ll not able tu use my Sim Card.... I can understand that a Beta may be buggy, but for this one, they really messed up !!

no sim card too

no sim card too when rolling back 10. 2025 Global

I think we need to contact Oppo to ask them to release a rollback firmware specifically for others variants, but i'm afraid they'll tell us that they warn us that Beta 11 was just for the Cbinese model...

Downgrade from 11 to 10 for install GMS (HELP)

Hello guys. I have a mate 30 pro 4g EU version. LIO-L29
EMUI version - 11.0.0.188
I wanna downgrade to 10. Because i wanna install GMS. I have succes downgrade last 2 week on p40 pro.
Now i try first to downgrade first from Hisuite. I have install Hisuite_10.1.0.550, but i dont have the button switch to other version.
if i try to HiSuite Proxy, i recive error:
[15:48:06]: Connection To HISuite Proxy Failed....
[15:48:07]: Check If Your Firewall Is Blocking HISuite's Proxy Server
i have add the app to the firewall, i have stopped the firewall...same
Please help me to figure out.

Hey man. I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I don't think we are able to downgrade to a lower version. So, we are stuck without Google. The only negative of not having GMS is the delay or no notifications coming in at all. Hopefully apps will be updated to work well with HUAWEI notification eco system.

Hey bro. I have succed to make it

ช่วยบอกวิธีทำหน่อย thank you

Hey, can you share with us how you downgraded from 11.0.0.188. Thank you.

With hisuite proxy

Thanks. Which firmware version you downgraded to?

Well, after multiple attempts using different firmware versions, the update fails after it has reached the 100% download. Have no clue what else to do. Firewalls are off, antivirus off. Anybody?

I followed this guide: Make sure those selections matches your phones need (region, etc..). If they don't match,..you know what might happen.
Complete Guide
Modifying HiSuite and manipulating it's connection data to install Roms before they officially get released. - ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy
github.com
BUT like I mentioned at a different thread. If downgrading to 10, Googlefier Wouldn't work. Also, I had lost USB connection and fast/super charge. But I think downgrading to a lower 11 should be ok. But I don't know. If you loose that, just upgrade again.

@robjbw thanks for answering. It will help everyone.

How to update phone after downgrading from EMUI 11 to 10?

So, I downgraded my P40 Pro from the latest version to EMUI 10.1.0.121 to install Google Apps. Now I can't update the phone back to EMUI 11 using Config>System Update. I don't know that much about this stuff.
My computer is not recognizing my P40 Pro, it only charges the phone. Super Fast Charging is working.
My model is ELX-NX9 (ELX-N29 in phone's box). I used Hisuite and proxy to downgrade. Everything is working in the phone. I only did one thing that I guess I'm not proud of. I changed my region from C605 to C452 (I guess that's it. It's the European version, and I live in south America). I only did this because I couldn't find a C605 ROM in the website I used. Actually there was one with version 10.1.0.180 or something, and it couldn't install Google Apps.
Can anyone give me some light about it? I want to know if I can get it all working, now the only thing bothering me is the updates and the USB. And the "Custom Version" in the phone info that reads "CUSTC605D1"

Wow. Nice! It is not so easy to repair that. Maybe you will need a NM card if your phone doesn't recognize OTG.
You need a DLOAD firmware (ELS-N04_10.1.0.123(C605)_[ELS-N04_hw_la_R2])
(ELS-N29 10.1.0.123(C605))
and write it.
Is your phone N04?

When I try to update through power button + volume up and erecovery it gives me this message "getting package info failed"

Did you downgrade P40Pro using P40 Pro+ firmware? Maybe this thread can help you. This is for C432 region only. Do not use this firmware on other region firmware. I can prepare the firmware for other region. When you downgrade P40Pro firmware...
