NoDo on my LG Quantum with AT&T

Today I interestingly enough received an update notification from microsoft.
I came home from work and sure enough it was saying I was elgible for the NoDo update.
A couple of weeks ago I performed the hack to get the pre NoDo update here: http://www.wpcentral.com/easy-hack-forces-nodo-update
I just wanted to share the word in case others were interested. It is flashing now, and going smooth so far.

Nevermind :-/ Update is failing at backing up the phone at 33%. There is a driver issue on my PC :-/
Jason

After a computer reboot, nodo flashed fine. It is complete now.

I got nodo work 2
Sent from my LG-C900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I got NoDo after flashing the stock AT&T firmware, then putting a Telstra SIM in the phone (Telstra are listed as providing updates for the Quantum)

'New' Samsung update

So a few weeks back I forced NoDo on my phone. I haven't plugged it into my PC for a bit but this morning when I did I got a message that a 'New Samsung Update' was avaliable for my phone.
Not sure what it is, maybe just some branding things...I'll keep you posed in case no one else has seen/tried this.

It is a firmware update. Ppl who update to NoDo officially will have it inside the NoDo package already. Those updated earlier need to do it separately. It's bug fixes and new features (outlined in WPCentral.com).

I'll have to look that up, I must've missed the article. It went through no problem at least.

Yeah, new features include the AT&T-specific stuff (AT&T address book account type available to add), as well as a change to default camera settings (anti-shake on by default), and a change that prevents you from swiping onto the capacitive buttons from the main display and accidentally activating them (thus exiting a game when swiping too far, etc.) - they respond to taps, but are disabled when your finger starts up on the display portion of the screen. Not sure what else yet...

I don't think that the Samsung update is actually bundled with NoDo (at least not for everyone). I've got the official NoDo update for Rogers in Canada, but none of the Samsung update features (i.e. anti-shaking is still off by default, buttins the same as pre-NoDo).

I assume we are talking about AT&T update unless specified otherwise. Rogers customer get the update a while back. There was a talk of firmware update after you updated to NoDo. These two phones really should have be treated separately.

Can anyone with a Rogers Focus confirm this? Does anyone who got NoDo through Rogers actually have anti-shaking enabled by default?

My thoughts: Rogers did get a firmware update post nodo that did not include anti-shake. AT&T users recently got it bundled with some AT&T specific features. Rogers users still without anti-shake. Maybe soon? Might be waiting to bundle it with other fixes...

does this samsung fimware update gives new numbers in firmware version? because i did not see any firmware version change after official nodo update through zune sync.

Assume you have an AT&T Focus:
1. There are two updates. You need run the update twice.
2. Yes, the firmware version gets bumpped to 11.3.3

ATT Focus
Thye bootloader also changes. I can confirm that the Chevron Updater method does take you to 7390, but does not change the Firmware, Radio Software or Boatloader version. The Samsung Update from Zune (Official ATT) does change these.

May security update?

Has anyone received the May security update yet?

I have not. Update will take us to version 7392. It is supposed to correct invalid sercuirty certificates. Does this mean the certificate installed as part of the Chevron process?

Got an update notice today but I already had let the house.
Rogers sim unlocked Focus on Telus.

after debranding

I did not get the update until debranding.
Paul Thurrott said on his blog ( in the comments) that he got the update on his AT&T-branded Focus, as did many others.

cool, thanks guys

No
Nothing yet for my ATT Focus.

Nothing for me, either.
ATT, NoDo, stock as a rock.

I updated tonight. At 7392 now.

OUCH
From Engadget today:
"Microsoft has confirmed that phones updated using "any unofficial mechanisms" to NoDo (which was 7390) will not be able to get 7392 via its very official mechanism: Zune."

They mean the chevron method, not the unbranding method with VPN.

I used VPN method and am now at 7392

Still no notice
Anyone else on AT&T still waiting for the notice an update is available? Mine's still saying I'm up to date at 7390. Updated with timing trick and then rebranded, hardware v1.3. What a frustrating rollout process.

Bummer. Well, I hope those straggling notices roll in soon. I was getting worried with so many others reporting they got it.

I am waiting as well....thought I might be the only one since I did things a little bit differently in that I had NoDo via the Hungary update, then did the SSL to 7392, then rolled back to 7390, then did a hard reset. So for me it is good news to know others are still waiting......thought maybe doing the roll-back stuffed it up for my phone.

Looks like we are waiting for AT&T to finish its own testing again. Currently, AT&T is testing NoDo update for Focus rev 1.4 firmware. Hopefully, when that is done, AT&T will start testing our security update. We won't see this until mid summer at best
I thought by now we all know what to expect. Every update needs to go through carrier testing and AT&T is one of the worst in finishing testing on time.

I unbranded my NODO Focus to 000-88 and the message showed up on my phone that there was an update available. I rebranded to att-us and no update available.

Similar to me then, except I then did a hard reset.
I am on Rev 1.3 and not Rev 1.4, so there should not be any waiting for ATT to finish testing NoDo for Rev 1.4 before testing 7392 for Rev 1.4

I'm pretty there is only one testing group inside AT&T. If it is currently still testing NoDo for rev 1.4, it won't test anything else including security update for rev 1.3.

Debrand!

If you want the update, all you have to do is debrand, again. Then rebrand, if you wish, or don't. It really was that simple for me - one string, in one key.

Firmware upgrade

Did Dell ever Release the updates for the firmware? last time i heard someone mentioned, it would be June or there about.

plug your DVP into your laptop and check Zune to see if your firmware is up to date.

first time i updated to mango and firmware 212 was updated too, it went to 219, however, it didnt work for outgoing calls, something wrong... then i went back to NoDo,
again updated it to Mango, this time i stopped the firmware update, im in 212 now, and everything is working fine,
by the way, im from mexico, so, i expect that if you update to 219 nothing extraordinary happen... it will work...
regards and good luck

Honor USA: EMUI 5.0 is officially rolling out starting on Feb 11th

Just for the purpose of tracking the rolling out process in the north America region, let's try collecting some date information when you receive the rollout. The process of this upgrade could become a helpful guideline for future upgrade events in the region! Models L04 and L14 might be involved. Let's also comment on your state, wireless service provider, if you are in the beta group and when you got the phone to see if anything is correlated. Please take a minute to fill out the form:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you!
Now, on the official Honor_USA social account, https://twitter.com/Honor_USA, N is coming on Feb 11th. Period.
Update: from Rox_honor, it's officially released on Feb 10th in the US. Some people have had this update already.
To force the update, you can check the method posted on Page 2, #16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70992090&postcount=16.

Reserve for updating statistics, if possible. Again, the Google Spreadsheet to fill out is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to add more columns if you think they are helpful.

So far it seems that only T-Mobile users are getting the update. Just tried to update my Mom's phone, we are on Cricket (AT&T) and there was no update for her. Tried putting it on airplane and restarting but still nothing. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

There is one entry reporting received the update while on Straight Talk. We need to have more data in order to figure out the rollout sequence. GOOD LUCK!

i purchased the Unlocked Honor 8 from US (amazon). But I'm an indian user and I'm using it with an indian carrier . will i get the update as the other north american devices or do i have to wait longer

Did not get the update (FRD - L04)
But I forgot whether or not the L04 is international or US (i live in the US though)

yeah i havent gotten it either still says no updates available

I haven't received the update either on L04. I read on the other thread that it rolls out in small batches.
Edit: Here's the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70964112&postcount=392

Nothing on L04 AT&T yet. Purchased from NewEgg and first activated in December.

Got it 3 weeks ago. L04 from b&h.

Bought it unlocked at Frys a week ago and received the update yesterday. I just want to caution all rooted and unlocked users! I received the update yesterday and upgraded it like a fool. I cant get into twrp recovery and the stock recovery seems to be broken. I even installed a newer twrp thru fastboot but im still not able to go into recovery. Im looking through all the forums but no one seems to have this problems yet. Im still waiting on some help if anyone has a solution. So please be aware before updating. Hopefully Im the only one with this problem.

Ahh, I was an idiot and had the same thing.
What happened is that I was rooted, and installed via Charles app, and it bugged out.
The reason for that is that TWRP can't install the stock ROM.
You need to get into fastboot, and reflash the stock recovery, and use it to dload the emui 4.1 file. Make sure you get the full package version.
After that it will be all wiped. You might run into a few errors but let the recovery do its thing.
You'll eventually be able to boot into the OS and then run the update normally.
I want to root my honor 8 on nougat, but I'm waiting for a patch from Huawei first because of all the bugs, just because of this.
Also I don't think rooting the honour 8 on nougat works that we'll yet, hopefully someone comes up with a method that doesn't suck so hard.
Hopefully they'll do it quickly.

Do you mind pointing me to the right direction to find those files? stock recovery and the 4.1.
Ive seen the rollback files... is that what you're talking about?

I used the firmware finder tool for it. You can get it for Windows. It's somewhere around the forum, but you can probably Google it.
Once you get the full package you can extract the recovery.img from it.

Unlocked FRD-L04 bought from Amazon. Living in Argentina. Got update yesterday. Really happy with it.

Folks, if you are impatient, you can use the Firmware Finder to send the Firmware B360 (I am using the Jan 3 one) to your Updater for a full package update. More information can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/news-huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3550882
A few notes here from my personal experience:
1. Once you set up the proxy from the Finder's proxy app which should be downloaded after you enabled the "send firmware to updater" (check notification afterward), you then click on the latest firmware # and "send firmware to updater".
2. On the Setting/Updater, click the menu and use "Download full update package", which should direct you to a 2.27Gb package (not the 1.28Gb package, or you will not be able to login!) and click on the "Quick update" button. You may need to wait for a while to see this option. Up to now, you may not be able to download anything yet.
3. Go back to the wifi setting and turn on proxy setting to "None" again and reconnect with the wifi network. Now you should pause the Updater and then resume it. You should now be able to download the full package and install it.
4. After all the update process, it could be helpful to charge your phone without the screen turning on. This is told to be useful to optimize the battery performance immediately after the update. The phone might be slow in a couple of hours as optimizations are going on in the background. But everything will become normal afterward
Good luck!

bought L04 from newegg using it in Pakistan no update for me as of yet

This is all bulls*it. Same update we got in january, and by the way, it's buggy.

L04 here, bought from Amazon about a month ago. Running on T-Mobile US. Still no update yet.

Is there any way to change the white notification background? I prefer the old color scheme, Mich easier on the eyes at night.
