i have an australian GS6 running Android 5.0.2 Build- LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOC4 but Australia is really slow when it comes to updates for samsung phones. I heard there is a micro update fixing RAM and crash issues, i want this update but its only on international versions of the s6 SM-G920F, can i flash it to my GS6 even tho its a different model? which countries have the update?

VPN for update?

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/

You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.

if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I read the thread but I'm out of luck cuz I don't have wifi no router near me. To complicated to do that.
:/

I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

All essential features are here. Getting 5 to 6 sot.
I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

AH! I forgot that the new version of EMUI is better than the current version. It's the same with most android device OEMs.

Nougat L09C636B361 OTA Rolling Out (Australia)

Hey guys,
If anyone's interested, my P9 just received the OTA for L09C636B361. This is on an unlocked/unbranded Australian handset. Obviously, I've immediately started the download...
Time to start mashing that "Check for Updates" button if you're in Australia I guess

Excited! Time to spam the update button

Nothing yet

Might want to check tru HiCare , and go through the early adopters button ...

Still nothing, sure I'll get something eventually..

i have the l09c34b140 and i live in australia (got it from virgin mobile australia on plan). is there anyway for me to convert to yours?

I am on EVA-L09C34B140 as well, heres hoping that we will get some Nougat goodness soon. I got Android 7 running no my old S4 and cant wait till the P9 officially gets an update.

I'm on the same EVA-L09C34B140 and also nothing yet. I bought my P9 outright, but it came with an annoying Optus boot and shutdown screen that I was hoping be rid of with an update, although I'm not too sure that'll be the case.

L09C34 is the Optus version, I got mine outright as well. I dont understand why Huawei will make an Australian model for Optus, a different model for Vodaphone and a unbranded model. They should of just made one model for all of Australia and a tool for carriers to put in their own boot animations.
Chances are, we will not get an update till Optus push through an update for this model. The model the OP has (L09C636), probably has his update pushed through by Huawei directly.

Ah, figures - a familiar story. I had the same issue with my old SG Note 2 which would have been waiting ages for an AU update via Telstra, but rooting it with a Nordic ROM saved me 18 months of waiting. I guess I have to suffer the Optus boot screen post-update though.

dyu reckon we should debrand and just install the unbranded model (if possible) or do we just idle :/

damn it just flashed to B320

If I could practice on someone else's Optus-tainted P9 first I'd then give it a go on mine
The process appears rather more convoluted than my previous Android ROM flashing experience. I think I might wait a bit longer.

i'm on exactly the same firmware( C636B190, which is updated from B168 through OTA) as the OP had before receiving B361..
However I had received nothing.

I bought mine outright at JB HiFi and got the OTA on Thursday night - posted to Whirlpool as well. I received notification when I checked the update entry in settings. Not an early adopter nor rooted or downloaded via the HiCare app.
As for the different firmwares blame that on the carrier not Huawei - Optus, Telstra et al are always slow - best check their websites or ask their Twitter/FB accounts for the timeframe.
Loving the updated EMUI 5.0. :laugh:

Unbranded Australian C636 here and still on B190, check for updates button nearly getting worn out!!

Got the Nougat update last night. Notification details are very hard to read. Almost white on white text. Anyone else got this, or knows how to fix it?

@Tecalote is working on the Nougat version of the NewWorld rom. Chances are, he will probably release this before Optus roll out the EMUI 5.0 update. If you really want EMUI 5.0, you can always flash L09C636B361 via the Huawei tools, then it will be a debranded AU version.

Oreo final release might be close.

Spotted this on the Samsung fota cloud test server. It's version CQLJ which means it's not a beta version.

Yes, for sure, I forgot about 7.1
Major OS 7.0 for S8 - A, 7.1 - B (skip for S8), 8.0 - C
R - 2018 year
A - January
0-9/A-F - build number

Knowing samsung if its released to some european country today it'll hit america in around a month, and canada in 2 months, then a month later the s9 is released... thanks samsung.

I wish Samsung would fix their update scheme. There is Android Fragmentation, then there is Android Samsung Fragmentation. Why is the Galaxy Tab A 2016 getting the January security update and my unlocked S8 is on November...
Also the latest Oreo Beta is on December, I know security updates are only small but as has been seen on the January update with the Pixels they can cause issues, so I would be sceptical to an Oreo release even being up to date.
Samsung needs to stop carriers turning their phones into bloated messes. My phone, before I debranded, came with 17 applications installed by the carrier, none of which I have any use for or have used!
It really isn't that hard to get this right, and it's what we are all asking for! Simplification and transparency, not waiting and waiting and waiting! Some customers with Note 8's in the UK are still on August Security Patch. That's what £800 gets you, negligence.

Do you know if the version.xml (not version.test.XML) update in real-time? Thats mean, would I be able to see a new firmware when Samsung pushes a new update to my device?

I see they have jumped back to CRAB version from CRAL in the test server. Wonder if that is in prep for the release to beta testers.

Beck up to CRAN now. Lol

And now to CRAP. It must be the final

Whole set of Bixby got updated. Is that a sign to prepare the phone for an Oreo upgrade?

Any OTA after 8.0.0.130(C432)?

Hello,
I recieved my UK model of Honor V10 (BKL-L09) today which is on firmware 8.0.0.130(C432) out of the box with Jan security updates. Is this the latest? (I've checked the updates manually several times but nothing!)
I think I've read somewhere that March security patches have been dispatched but I can't remember where I read this.
I still didn't install the sim card yet as I'll need to buy a new one from the shop tomorrow but I'm not sure if this has any influence on having any OTA update showing up.
P.S. Firmware finder didn't find anything!
Also, I'd like to know an approximate date for Official Oreo 8.1 + EMUI 8.1 ROM for European models (as it is the case with the USA models which are on these latest versions out of the box)
