Update:
We can't get the kernel source until we officially get Lollipop so I am locking this for now. I'll re-open when they begin to roll out upgrades for our device so that we can request the source then.
If you're not sure why I'm requesting this, these links HERE and HERE should be explanation enough. If you're unsure why this is important I'll explain it below.
Directions to Request Kernel source for N910T:
1.) Go here - OSRC Email Link
2.) Fill in information accurately and ensure that for "Inquiry type" you select "Request for source code"
3.) Model is SM-N910T
3.) Write in the message box something like, "I'm writing you to request the source codes for the SM-N910T Android 5.0.1 Update. Thank you!"
4.) Check the box, "I agree to the use of my personal information" you can read about it by clicking the link
5.) Hit send and do this once per day. I got this information from This Post (Please thank him while you are there)
Reasons to do it: The 5.0.1 Lollipop U.S. build ROM is going to be delivered to us sometime between now and the end of the year. However, taking steps to have access to the kernel source will give developers some insight into what they can build with it, what to expect, and give them a head start on building for our model of the Note 4. So I encourage you to take part in this and send an email once per day so maybe we too can get access to these files like Friedrich got.
And if you need one more reason to do this, here is a benchmark: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59116214&postcount=2668 and this one too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59116766&postcount=2674

Because it's Samsung + US Carriers.

I've run out of thanks at the moment but I'll get the XDA app up and running on my phone tonight to get the job done. You guys rock! If you all get a response post here and let us know!

It was a bad joke, no one knows when it will release so I just said that to be witty. It is not expected to take until the end of the year for release.

I dont think they are downgrading 8.9 hdx. i was told by 4 techs from amazon it was not possible(which is complete horse****) and they would send me a replacement. I have heard the same from others of them doing this as well. Crazy they would rather send out new device instead of hitting a few keys.
I would help, but I do not have 4.5.3, I am on 3.2.6...

Unfortunately this seems to be true, I searched yesterday threads here with rollback topics and found only Thor HDX 7" are successfuly rolled back. That would also explain problems ggow have when his Apollo HDX 8.9" device stopped working and he received new with 4.5.2 FW and Amazon was not willing rollback his new Apollo no matter what, they rather send him new device with older FW.
So it seems only way how to gain this rollback FW for Apollo device is that people with Apollo devices need to ask Amazon again and again with rollback requests, so they will be pushed to make one instead to sending them new devices...

@undulus, pls, pm me.
Thanks @ONYXis, I cant believe I missed that one! I even responded to @undulus several times in that thread :angel:
OK folks - dear HDX 8.9" owners, I believe a bunch of you are still on 14.4.5.3 and definitely want to root your device, so you can install gapps and use Google play, etc. Please contact Amazon support if you want to be downgraded (and help us catch this firmware (suppossed to be 14.3.2.8 (which is rootable via towelroot)))
1. here is how to contact Amazon support via chat
2. here are several examples how this chat looks like #1, #2, and also it is a good source of information about what to say, and what not to
3. dont mention you want to root your device, dont point them here on xda
4. Try again (may be 4-5 or more times, all depend on person who is chatting with you, some are skilled more than the others...) if they say they cant or wont downgrade you, if you are persistent enough - they eventually will do it
5. After successful downgrade, please contact @ONYXis via PM, and he will guide you how to proceed next
6. Thank you very much again for your help.
I picked up an Apollo today for $150 but it was already upgraded to 4.5.3 -- After an hour on chat with amazon, they have agreed to roll it back to a version 3.x
They said they submitted the rollback request and will send further instructions.
Let me know if I can help!

Hello,
Greetings from Amazon.
This is regarding your request to roll back your device to a previous software version.
I've sent a request to the technical team regarding the rollback of the software version of your device.
They've informed that we do not have an option to roll back the software version on your device model.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I have forwarded a feedback regarding this to the technical team. They will work on it and implement this feature soon.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank very much for patience, this process of downgrading is sometimes very frustrating for end user, that's why we looking to catch this firmware also for Apollo users, so they can freely downgrade their devices - when they want and on their free will and without Amazon support interference...
It's understandable if you run out of patience and eventually give up on this for whatever reason... Just tell us here about your decision...
The more people will contact Amazon about downgrade - the more chance is somebody will be eventually downgraded, and with help from our devs we can end this ridiculous ritual of remotely downgrading...
Thanks
I reopened my rollback ticket with amazon, let's see what they say.
I have tried 3 different times and even dealt with supervisors but no luck. This is so frustrating! I still have 3 weeks to decide what to do.

I e-mailed the company a few days ago inquiring about a 6.0 update
Dear Daniel, Thank you getting in touch with us. Our firmware upgrades on Android platform are performed through the FOTA system and their availability depends on the carrier, model and country. In case there is an upgrade available, you will receive a notification on the notification bar. The other option to check if there is an update available, is following this steps: Settings >> About Phone >> System Update >> check for Updates. (P.S. the official update is around the corner) Best regards, ALCATEL ONETOUCH
The whole P.S. thing is promising but i'm not cashing it as a check yet. If we don't see something official in the next 1-2 months then i doubt we will see it at all, especially with the idol 4 released. But i have hope yet for our idol 3. Get a 6.0 source and see what our devs can do with it.
What do you think?
the update is real bro !

It is just a template respond. He never said 6.0 will be released.
Well I just got my honor 5 and wanted to upgrade the software, emui says it's 3.1 and when I put the check for updates it says there are no available. Nether when I check my lollipop 5.1.1 to got to Marshmallow. No upgrade available.
My cellphone was one of the Prime Day 120 bucks, KIW-L24c56.
Is there something I should do? I know very few of cellphones, but at least my moto g2 asked me itself to upgrade to Marshmallow which I did, apparently this has Marshmallow upgrade also but nowhere to be found.
Than you.
Wait for it its not fully out yet.. it takes some time.

Check out this thread. It gives detailed instructions to download the official update and install it.
im checking the hihonor website and there is no 6.0 upgrade
Is it just me or no one else can see it ?
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/
Well... so far no luck upgrading.
I'm new in this subforum (just got my KIW-L24 last night) and have no idea what the "-c56" on your model number is so hopefully I'm not wasting your time, but
I was able to update mine to marshmallow using this update package that was provided in this thread.
Just make a "dload" folder on your internal storage and extract the update file from the zip to it. Then in system update on the phone, hit menu and local update... should walk you through from there.
Hope this helps!
well apparently Huawei pulled out the update because there were some issues with the phones, they are gonna work on it and put the update on L24 with Marshmallow 6 and Emui 4 back when everything is resolved.

Did you hear this from Huawei? I'm thinking the same thing and posted this in another thread, but was wandering if it was officially a problem.
See below:
They have removed marshmallow from the site. It's not official, but I believe they are doing some work to it. It was extremely laggy and had poor battery life and performance compared to lollipop. I reverted back after running it.
You guys would be better off waiting to see what repairs are done to it.
When you click on the support site, look to the right under manuals
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/
You will see how to rollback officially from Marshmallow, if there were no problems, I'm pretty sure that would NOT be listed the same day marshmallow was removed from the site

Yea, I wrote to them and they replied me that there were some issues regarding the update. One day there was the update and the other it wasnt, so I asked them and they said their engineers are looking into it and as soon as possible its gonna be back posted on the website.
amazing how these buggy updates make it through testing to get released, beyond belief & biggest drawback with current phones is crappy firmware & apps , programming, testing & design rules needs massive improvement ...
Android itself is big part of problem ...
Funny how CM has a better software compared yo such big brand Honor/Huawei
Just now at the Honor US support site.
There is this
KIW-L24, Android 6.0.1,EMUI 4.0,C567D003,United States

Hope it is the patched version.
yea I just entered the website and saw it too.
Im gonna wait a while to see if things are patched, apparently the patch is the same as the one before so Ill wait a bit until people test it out.

I am sure that this is what I put on my daughters phone yesterday, but it still shows as B331 in the about phone screen. Can anyone else confirm this?
well I got 6.0.1 and new Emui in my cellphone OTA. Just this morning I got an update and after downloading and installing it was the new version.
Phone seems a bit laggy and not as fast as 5.0, is this normal for 6.0? Or just me?
Good news Honor 8 owners we are giving some of you the chance to help us test out EMUI 5 and Android N on your Honor 8. Sounds great yeah? Just remember this is going to be pre-release software, things may be broken, you may end up struggling to use your phone, but that's all good we want you to help us find & squash the bugs.
So what do you need to do to get the new stuff on your phone? Well that is easy, you install an app, enroll on the project and then towards the end of the month we will be pushing out the OTA to those that have had their applications approved.
So what do you need?
- An Honor 8 (FRD-L09)
- To be based in the UK.
- To have an active SIM card in your phone.
- To be on build number C432B131
- It cannot be bootloader unlocked, it cannot have a custom recovery or be rooted to receive the OTA.
You can get the APK for the BETA app & the guidelines for how to install and enroll here. Once downloaded install it on your phone, when you run the app on your phone you will be prompted to either log into an existing Huawei ID account (the one you use to download EMUI themes will do) or to create a new one, once done you can accept the terms
To enroll on the BETA test you will need to be on build number B131, an OTA to update UK Honor 8 from B120>B131 will be rolling out today, once you are on B131 you can enroll on the BETA test.
Numbers are limited, when we hit the limit of enrolled users that is it. This is a project to help find bugs and issues before the general rollout of future updates for the Honor 8. It is not a general public rollout. We will be hosting discussions here in the forums to discuss bugs etc and to post details about future updates for the BETA.
If you have problems either installing the APK, signing into Huawei ID or enrolling on the BETA please leave the following details below and we will get back to you.
Name:
Country you are using the phone in:
Current Build Number:
Model Number:
Issue:
Update – 18/11/2016
There are two new versions of the Huawei BETA APK have been made available for use in this BETA test for the Honor 8.
During the initial enrollment and rollout phases of the Android N BETA test across Europe a bug became apparent. With the initial version of the app, if a user was to update to Android N and then perform a factory reset, they would be unable to reinstall the app, meaning that they could no longer submit bugs. This bug was due to a slight incompatibility with the app and Android N.
So to solve this issue there are two new versions of the app, one for users running Android M and want to enroll on the BETA and another for users on Android N and who want to submit bug reports or to leave to the BETA project.
Whichever version you have please download the APK from the links below, copy it to your device and then install it using the file manager. These updated apps will overwrite your existing apps. If you are on Android N running the BETA app version V2.1.10 then you do not need to worry, just continue to use the app as you were and update the app once you are on Android N.
As mention there are two versions for you to use.
Beta 2.2.12 - Android N: This can be downloaded from here.
Beta 2.1.12 - Android M: This can be downloaded from here.
Any questions about the updated BETA APKs please leave comments below.
Update - 24/11/2016
Good news, for those users who want to go back to Android 6 (Marshmallow / EMUI 4) the rollback packages are now available for the FRD-L09 and FRD-L19 models, along with the FRD-L09C432B131 firmware for you to restore your Honor 8 to the state it was in before the BETA.
So you may be wondering how all of this works, basically you need to download two things, the rollback package and the Android M firmware. Below are the links for all of the files.
FRD-L09
FRD-L09 Rollback Package - Download from here.
FRD-L09C432B131 Android M Firmware - Download from here.
FRD-L19
FRD-L19 Rollback Package - Download from here.
FRD-L19C432B131 Android M Firmware - Download from here.
The rollback package contains two files, a dload folder containing an update.app and a PDF explaining the process. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PDF before you start the process, also ensure anything you may need is backed up beforehand as YOUR PHONE WILL BE RESET during this process. To do the rollback you need to extract the contents of the RAR file and move the dload folder onto the SD card on your phone, it cannot be put on the internal memory and the SD card cannot contain any other dload folders, update.app files or update.zip files. Follow the instructions in the PDF about how to flash the rollback firmware and then once the phone has rebooted you will be ready to flash the Android M firmware. Again follow the instructions in the PDF, extracting the dload folder from the compressed folder and moving it to your SD card. Follow the same method as before and your phone after a short period of down time will reboot onto build number C432B131.
Again any queries, questions or comments about any of the process mentioned here please leave a comment below.

This is for UK. Based on Model, it will vary.
Currently the Beta test is conducted for US, UK and Indian Variant.
Hi there. At the moment in Europe the BETA test is only for UK and France. Further countries may come in the following weeks.

Well they have confirmed UK and France, Germany should be coming in weeks other countires in europe: later. We will see.
If you had beta tests previously for devices in Greece I can't see any reason why you would not have now.
Sorry to says this but Switzerland won't be part of the BETA test.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but will the netherlands be part of the beta test?
What about Slovenia?
How come only certain countries are part of the beta? Why don't you rather do an XDA community beta. I think the feedback would be Great, because XDA community is spread all aroubd the world and has tech savy users that can give valuable feedback.

I don't think Greece had beta tests previously. With OTAs I meant regular ROM updates.
Hope that Greece will eventually be part of the beta and the update in general.
After all, they say that EMUI 5 aesthetics are inspired by the Aegean Sea. It will be kinda a shame to not roll it out in Greece

Its because of the change in models and the changes depending on the carriers, sponsors etc.
Each model will have different update. So XDA beta can't happen unless there is only one variant across the globe.

This is bollocks, whole EU has the same model, FRD-L09. It is just easier for them to control the beta experience if they release it in closed of groups in only a few countries, because they can better tailor it to the carriers. But even if the beta isn't customised for local carriers it should work continent-wide, networks are using largely the same frequencies, give or take a few LTE bands.
So I still think, XDA betas could be done, was there enough interest from the manufacturer.

You have answer for your question yourself.
Beta is also customized for the carriers and according to local sponsors, Guideliness specific to that region. Its easy to speak about give and take etc... But for implementation, it is not possible.
