Hi everybody, i've recently purchased an Honor 7 PLK-L01 in UK. I'm really satisfied with it and i started to follow those threads on XDA, i'm new to this software by Huawei as i've always had Samsung's phones (i still have my S5) and obviously software updates are different as i've seen. My current firmware is C432B121 but here i found a lots of more updates and intermediates' type of as well and my phone doesn't show any further updates like 130-140-180 and so on. Phone is not rooted and it's brand new. I also knew that it's rolling out MM for us so that's why i did this question. Thanks to everyone could explain a bit. Cheers! :highfive:
there's a full thread about this, with links to all kind of released firmwares
i suggest you start with b130 and see if it automatically detects any further ota update.
when i got mine it was stuck on b120, but after manually updating it to b121 i never had to manually update it again
otherwise you just keep manually updating all the way up to b180. i suggest you don't update to b320 right away since it's officiality is still undergoing debate, it might be old BETA update, perhaps released by mistake. still waiting for official news
anyway, the drill's very easy, you'll find every kind of explanation in the plk-l01 roms' thread.

Found Marshmellow Update Link for Honor 7
Hi,
I have purchased this phone but sadly its Model Number PLK-UL00 not PLK-L01. I have upgraded to the latest build EMUI4.0_PLK-UL00_6.3.1 which is Android Version 6.0.
My question is - can I upgrade to EU version of the firmware PLK-L01 B320 or less. All I want is to get rid of all the chinese apps and replace them with pure google + english ones. Please help
Can you make a banana milkshake with strawberries? You can't. Same with installing the European build Android on Indian, Chinese etc.

First of all, thanks for posting the link and secondly you can very well update you mobile as I have already done that with your link
Hi - Indian firmware version starts with PLK-UL00IN. My mobile firmware version is PLK-UL00. Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to the India firmware.
My apologies to the admin in advance as I have posted similar question in a different thread. But this thread is more suitable to the topic. I am a novice when it comes to firmware.
I tried updating , it failed.. the software update guidelines.pdf which was part of the update states "software version control problems, you should firstly upgrade a transfer package provided by R&D." wher do i get that ?

Hi I updated it with the link provided. Did the archive download properly? Since it's an internal document, I don't think the package is available in public domain. You can check for the rollback package which is given in one of the threads. It might work. Or use the honor multi tool.
Btw, this update is 2 steps forward and one step back. Some good features like visitor mode have been removed. Call recording has become problematic. Previously, I could record easily using boldbeast call recorder. Settings are much more difficult to find. On the positive side, battery backup has jumped tremendously. Plugged out at 9.40 am today. My phone is still at 75 percent at 6.30 pm with moderate use. There is no doze mode setting but I think they have incorporated some features as I can see that phone goes into sleep when screen is off much more frequently. Also, the awesome themes that lollipop had are no more there. Not even the live wallpapers. Mixed feelings about the update overall.

MD5 checksum is F697BB78C8E8202DC78716C8647E8706.
Yeah I was on 160 and did a local update as you suggested. Better download it again. But frankly, I am finding the update more regressive than progressive.

I think many of us may not be aware as how to perform local update in honor 7 which has marshmallow installed on it. I have gone through it and understand how it feels when you download an update and while trying to find local update option update app. Its frustrating and discouraging too. But I could find the way to do it on some other site. Its simple and easy. Just see below.
How to Update
Unpack the firmware package on your computer.
Transfer the extracted dload folder to your phone’s microSD card.
Take a backup of your important stuff using Huawei’s native app.
Safely unplug the USB cable and turn your phone off.
Reboot while holding Vol Up + Vol down + Power for a few seconds. Release Power upon vibration.
Once the upgrade starts let go of the volume keys and allow the installation to proceed.
And enjoy

Hi, mine is Malaysia set, now at latest firmware B130. Is it safe for me to update to B330 ?
Recently when I was searching for Android N update on ZTE axon 7 I found this site: a9droid.com/zte-axon-7-android-nougat-7-0-update . Android N is main reason I haven't bought axon yet so I'm really interested in installing it, but this website seems very suspicious. Is it even possible to install stock Android(that's what I suppose they do) on ZTE phone?
Words of advice: If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Please be careful when browsing through questionable websites and do not believe everything to read. Stick to XDA-Developers.com and you should be fine.
That site is utterly untrustworthy. It doesn't give any info on how to update (hint: that's because there is no nougat update yet), tells you how complicated it is and how you need tech-savvy friends or a repair shop to do it for you and then says "if all of that is too complicated for you, there's this magic apk from our website "that will transform your device into latest Android Nougat interface". Best case scenario: they're writing a bunch of bull**** in order to get traffic to their website. Worst case scenario: that apk has malware instead of just Google's launcher.
Okey. So are there any news about the official update? Axon is advertised as first daydream ready phobe and android N is part of phone being daydream ready...
ZTE haven't released a Nougat rom yet so why would some random site have it?
Just got an update on the Chinese Axon 7, B10. Still 6.0.1...

The german ZTE website today stated that the phone would receive Nougat before the end of the year. That's all I know about this so far.
So i am now starting to get extremely frustrated with Huaweis support teams and the lack of information on here. I have been waiting for a nougat update since the betas last December came out and still nothing. I watch every device model of the mate8 get this update except the model i have listed in the title. Even the L09C636... so where the update for the dual sim L29? and why are there basically no useful threads for it?
I have tried unlocking the bootloader to install the last beta build i have downloaded because it wont install with the official update app. The emui site that is listed all over the mate8 forum keeps telling me that i have not been signed into my huawei ID for more then 14 days when in reality, it has been for almost 2 months now. Im tired of waiting and once again huaweis support is useless in this respect even though they have a whole official page dedicated to unlocking the bootloader.
So I am here with a last ditch effort to finally enjoy this phone. I really want to keep it becasue its had the best battery life on any phone ive tested of late, and its super fast and snappy. Im just picky on software updates becasue like most of you. I like to be as up to date as possible.
Please if you have any info or sites that can help me out with this issue put something in the comments, it would be greatly appreciated.
also im in canada if that has anything to do with my problems, because this is the Asian model of the device.
Same problem. Always waiting for Nougat...

It wasn't working perfectly at all, I only just installed the nougat update yesterday by the Huawei firmware finder app and proxy. The page for the official firmware thread on here hasn't been updated yet to show the new b521 build, it's still on the b321 and below with dead links.
But I digress I found what I was looking for finally even if jumping through hoops to get it and being the last device model to do so.
I'm just happy to finally be running nougat

Hi there
It's so outrageous that we don't have Nougat for C636.
Someone should post a message in twitter or social media on Huawei's pages... Maybe the Singapore one as the C636 is the Asian model.
Though there are a couple of Nougat betas... We still don't have a stable version and we are way past Q1 2017 which was when Huawei said the Mate 8 would be updated...

yes i updated manually from B180 to B320 and B320 to B560 and just now i'm updating from B560 to B580 by using system update (its my first time!!!) in this link:

also before mate 8, i had sony and samsungs phone and updated manually a lot

I just upgraded via firmware finder to l29c636b585. Went smoothly.
Hello everybody
I have a Huawei P8 (GRA-L09) with EMUI 4.0.1 on it. A friend of me has the exact same phone but in black, and he has already the 4.0.3 update. Which is for example eye-comfort what I really find useful. Update-management and HiSuite can't find any updates. Is there a way to get the update anyway? Note: I have bought him refurbished with Android 6.0, and when I boot, I see the logo of Vodaphone. How can I update my phone?
Thank you!

The most likely reason you're not getting past 4.0.1 is because your phone is network-branded - by Vodafone in your case.
So, unless you debrand your phone (example here) to enable you to safely install the latest non-branded update(s) manually, you'll have to wait for Vodafone to release newer updates.
Can you tell us the full 'Build number' in Settings > About phone (in this format or similar: GRA-L09CxxxBxxx). Also, which country you bought the phone from?
Thanks for your reaction! I don't have experience with that sort of things so I'm not going to try that. Thanks anyway for the idea. My buildnumber is GRA-L09C02B397. I've bought the phone on greenmobile.nl, so I think he's from the Netherlands.

No problem, I was not recommending to try it, but only mentioned it so you'll understand the difference, & that it is possible.
Anyway, I think you're in luck, as Vodafone have released a EMUI 4.0.3 update, which you can get from here (view the screenshot posted by djg269 in post #3): [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B403 posted by member Kris van Kooten

I've no idea, as these things differ from one company to another.
As you'll be applying an official network update, it shouldn't be a problem, but if in doubt ask greenmobile.
I have the same problem kindly help me
The problem.is same but my model no is GRA-LO9C02B191.It is not detecting any update what should i do?
1st hint
Go settings > update > menu > download last full update. It is possible that hidden update will show.
2nd hint:
Download B200 official update, transfer on SD card and update manually. Then all updates shall be possible to do.
3rd hint:
Make debranding as in tutorial and then install on B170 a B200 update as in hint 2. Somwhere near B380 it will be required to make as in hint 1 to get B520 (newest one)
