yes there is but there are a few hoops to jump through
first you have to convert your phone to dual sim follow the below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/guide-debranding-converting-single-sim-t3305977
then after the final ota update download the following and install thanks to lokopepe who put the link up (sorry dont kow how to put profile in )

and install the above as you installed the CUSTOM update install
hope this helps i have just completed this today so it works

Error message Honor 7 Premium Marshmallow Update

Update 07.may:
I performed the update from the Honor Homepage using the Update -App.
Update started normally but then there was an error at approximately 65% progress. Update stopped and I only could perform a Reboot.
Marshmallow booted and seems to run more or less okay, but how can I be sure everything needed has been updated??
Maybe Marshmallow Software is ok, but Hardware Update files did not install or something like that.
Anyone else with this issue?
I have found a video containing the Problem at approximately minute 4:04 you can see the Problem/ error message

it should be the same as for Honor 7 PLK-L01 so you can update with local update from ext. sd.
(put the right file into folder dload!)

Okay Thanks for your support! And there is really no Problem using "non-premium" Firmware with the Premium Version? Did anyone try that successfully?
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA Free mobile app
as i know, the only difference between the two phones is the 16->32MB storage capacity. (and the quick power recharger of curse!) but feel free to ask somebody else if you didn't believe it!
see my signature point 1!

Ok, i just wanna make Shure not to break my Brand new phone when using the non-premium Firmware... I think you can understand that.
I have read about battery issues with the b330 Marshmallow Update. Any gerneral concerns or is this only a minor issue with some very rare device constellations?
Is it safe to use these update files from the honor Homepage with the Update-app or do i have to use the keycode *#-something Variant or the 3 button service menu during startup/boot process?

You should redo the update process again! The shown error seems to be normal at the first time of upgrading.
Put the update.app into folder "dload" at your external sd card and enter the update code *#*#2846579#*#* to start the update process! Otherwise you can press volume up & down & power button for more than 5 sec. to start the process! This time, it should finish the update process with 100%. Good luck!
Edit: have forgotten some star! it's completed now!`

Sorry for that! This was a result of copy and paste! But you was clever enough to find this mistake
BTW: I have changed between B330 and B180 or B180 up to B330 very often without any problems! Now i am on B330 again (but MoDaCo version!). let`s see how long. ;-O
Okay, so you seem to change often..May i ask why you do so many switched and what Version works best for you?

I thought that was kind of normal with that update error, as the system seemed to run okay after that. Yesterday I did it again, but it wiped my data.. **** happens. I can't see a difference, but hey: now it's 100%

Hi,
I have a PLK-L01C432B121 build.
Until now, i cannot get the update to Marshmallow.
Is it normal ?
Do you think i'll have to wait a long time ?
I lives in north africa.
Thanks.

Same here in Greece.. I'm also still waiting for MM.. Currently at PLK-L01C432B180.. No OTA, no nothing..

Yes you're right.
But i wanted as a normal user to get access to this feature.
For now, i still cannot get any update and i got a funny answer from Honor support.
They told me that i have to go to Serbia if i wants to update my honor since i bought it there last year.
But i lives in africa now lol.
So the only remaining solution is the local update when i will finally find the right procedure.

The right procedure would be
Make a backup of all your data, contacts, apps etc using Huawei hisuite.
Download the firmware you want to upgrade to and extract to get UPDATE.APP
Copy it to a folder named dload in your SD card and press and hold power, Vol up and Vol down until phone boots up. Let go of power after booting but keep other two pressed for five six sec more.
It will do a forced upgrade and you will lose all your stuff. Boot into Android, update Huawei backup app and restore your backup using hisuite and you are done.
Hope it helps.
looks clear.
Thank you very much muradulislam
Still in beta. It's not a big of a change from lollipop
sorry folks but after reviewing all my experience with MM (B380) i recommend to update with Lollipop B180 (B190 if available) only!
With B380 it is possible, that you will get some trouble with it! At the moment, B380 was removed from the support side of HONOR!
Maybe it has a reason!
That's a bit sad to hear. But it's full of sense. Thank you.

Most of the users that i know (me included!), did not confirm that!
i own two Honor 7. I tried MM on one of them for four weeks. After this period, i have done a rollback to B190 Lollipop.
Since this moment, all my problems are gone! I could not believe, that HONOR will bring us an trouble-free version of MM.
Really strange that Huawei remains unable to deliver a clean Os. Such a big company with that quality of phones !

i didn’t understand your friendly offer! I had used MM on my phone, so i was able to install MM on it! But i have get the same notification problem with "WhatsApp"
as the other users have reported here! And some of my apps have stopped their work during the night. I had protected these apps against termination in the energy manager, but it doesn't help! I think, it is a problem of the build in MM "deep sleep" functionality! And yes, i had made a factory reset in the beginning of my experiences.
But thx anyway!

Odin files

Can somebody please point me to the proper Odin files to manually install MM on a N910C North American USA region? I can't find it anywhere on Google and I'd like to update my phone as I've gotten no OTA.

"North American" N910C note 4 variant doesn't exist. Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search for SM-N910C firmware. There are several regions that released MM for N910C, but I recommend the Poland (XEO) version.

Ah I see. Didn't know that. I live in NY and bought an international off of CL so i just assumed. Thank you, though. Is the MM update even recommended? I heard people having battery issues and I already am having extreme issues on lollipop. I assume that's how I got the phone so cheap. The battery is whacked out on mine.

I have been using marshmallow for roughly a month and the battery usage is way better compared to lollipop. My current screen on time is 3 hrs and 48 minutes with 11% battery life remaining and I am using your same model phone on AT&T. I would recommend Marshmallow update for your device.

I see. I just don't have a pc. I was able to temp root with king root, flash twrp, and then from there flash a kernel to get perm root.......so is there any way to get to MM from there without a pc? I can't get a rom to flash, it just gives me an error about being unable to map the file. Not sure what that is about, it was the note 5 rom v05. Radio and kernel flashed just fine though. Edit: Keeps giving me an Error 7 when trying to flash ROMs in particular. Edit again: It was the kernel i was using to Perm root. It wasn't liking me installing a rom with that i guess. I restored and skipped the install of that and then was able to get a rom to install so ignore that, but my original question about MM with no PC still persists.

Yes please lol. I think I was sold a phone with bad hardware or maybe just a bad battery. On stock LP the battery acts really funny. It'll get to a certain percentage and either shut down on me or I have visually watched the percentage just drop by 1 percent until it's dead in 2 second intervals even after attempting to calibrate it. It seems better on a custom rom and I haven't experienced it yet. I'm hoping it's just a bad battery but I can't seem to find another one to buy to test it out. A couple of times on stock too while changing animation speeds the screen would start flashing red (not the red borders) I mean the whole screen would flicker and would only go away on a restart. Not sure what that was about. I only payed $100 off of CL for this phone. If it really is just the battery, that's a helluva deal lol.

Please Help Me....

Hi,Guys Please Help Me!i have a p8 lite model ALE-L21C02B130!,how can i get marshmallow on the device(i am from south Africa)and will like the official version any help will be appreciated....
The first place to check is MENU - SETTINGS - ABOUT PHONE - SOFTWARE VERSION - CHECK FOR UPDATES. If the OTA notification doesn't show up then it's possible your carrier hasn't release the OTA yet. Also, if the update notification doesn't show up, you will need a PC or laptop to download the official firmware and perform the installation.
I also just went back and looked at the P8 Lite General Forum and there is a thread that appears to be dedicated to updating your P8 Lite from Lollipop to Marshmallow. That is where I would start.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
i have checked there is no update available what with you recommend me doing waiting for carrier or flash it this way the device is (brand new)
If it were me and I wanted the official 6.0.1 MM I would flash it myself which is what I always do anyways. It doesn't matter to me if my device is brand new or not. I would read through the P8 Lite General Forum. There are several threads about updating to the latest 6.0.1 MM firmware and the region they are for. Where are you located? That will help you in finding the correct firmware to download and install.

I found a tutorial for upgrading manually. You have to download the update from the huawei server and put it on a sd card. In the settings you can choose "Local update" (i don't know the exact expression, im from germany). You can try it with HiCare also, but i don't know if this works...

Based on the official information from the Australian support page, you should be fine going directly to latest version. Just make sure you use the full update zip file (2GB+) and not the incremental FOTA update (200-500MB).
Personally, I'd recommend updating via the German stream since that dev team appears to have a more active presence for our device. That would mean using the Nougat zip to get to 7.1.1 B01 (I think), then using the FOTA updates to get to B02 then B04.

i've noticed when i use dual sim, both sim cards have terrible signal, when i disable one sim, the other sim has pretty good signal.
another thing that annoys me on the axon 7 is the fact that zte says it is a LTE CA-6 phone but on my network carrier aggregatiin does not work because the zte supports only 1800&2600mhz and not 800&2600mhz. all other phones do but the zte not. if i just had known this earlyer...
