Honor 6+ for KSA and UAE community

I made this post to gather all Honor 6+ owners from KSA and UAE who bought it from souq (dot) com to share their problems, questions and experiences.

My experience is excellent with 6+. but when i upgraded it to lollipop, all gestures functions were gone!
No double tap to wake screen, no draw to open apps .. even all motion settings like flip mob to mute were disappeared
I used this file for upgrading:
hxxp://7961b64fc16ad15a92ef-9f98f1eddca1ebd26a80f4b64e8bd016.r62.cf3.rackcdn.com/downloads/PE-TL10C900B324.zip
(replace hxxp with http)
I downloaded it from here:
hxxp://hihonor.com/en/pages/support#?view=downloads
(replace hxxp with http)
I tried a factory reset, but it always fail at 10%
I can't call huawei support as i am outside of ksa now.
Any one faced the same problems when upgrading to lollipop?

not yet updated because of these problems. Can you check in gestures settings, if these features are still available? I purchased from Souq UAE

I tried flashing Latest 5.1.1 Chinese Stable Developer Edition , and then use downgrade package provided on Huawei Club Forum by chinese guys , but failed also.

No gestures options at all after upgrading. May you call customer support to ask them about this problem,and when the official upgrade for uae and ksa will be released?

I think that phones provided by souq.com have a modified software(i can't understand why )
So all of MENA region custmores have a buggy update.
We should contact with local provider & huawei to get our rights

any news about this dam update ?

Hi Guys,
Check out the Lollipop and Marshmallow update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-heres-how-update-manually-to-t3323661

I bought my Honor 6+ from Souq.com UAE last month. As i'm residing in India and using Vodafone as my service provider but not able to access data internet (2G/3G/4G) in my phone (working fine with Wifi). It is displaying the 3G/4G symbol at the top but somehow its not working even after getting all the configuration done that is provided by Vodafone.
I tried with multiple service providers (Airtel/Reliance/Aircel/Idea) but its not working either, although the data net is working in another phone using the same SIM. Please help me , let me know if anyone else having the same issue.

I tried the B334 Russia, and it worked fine, but I bricked my phone after I tried to update to the marshmallow as per the following update link but I made one mistake that I did unzipped the 503 update.zip pachage and i only took the update.app file and put it on the dload folder, after that i was unable to boot my phone again,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hono...ly-to-t3323661
and after several attempts to flash so many versions like (B130, B135, B300, B500, B503, B224, B334, B332, B510) I was able by the adb method to update to the latest Marshmallow update of UAE B510 but wifi and Bluetooth don't work anymore, and the mac address shows zeros 02:00:00:00:00 , ANY SUGGESTIONS?
in addition could someone told me the original firmware version that PE-TL10 in saudi comes with and where I can downloaded

No updates so far, no B126 or B135

Hi Guyz
can you help and explain why my device got no updates till now? B126 released few month ago and the B135 followed but i got nothing.
Am i missing something i got the phone from Dubai and live in UK
model is: MHA-L29C185B110

Seems like the sim card region matters

Yes papped is right, your phone region is set to middle East but living in UK will not show your phone to the OTA . changing your region in the "cust" file requires rooted phone and a sound experienced individual.

You can use FunkyHuawei to update to the latest version, if you aren't getting OTA updates. I don't think B135 was released for your version -- it's B126 for the C185, which is currently the latest. You won't have to unlock bootloader, root, or void your warranty to use FunkyHuawei.
Theoretically, I think that you will eventually get OTA updates through Huawei, regardless of region. But since not even eRecovery works on non-Chinese models as of yet, FunkyHuawei's the only option for right now.

No Updates at all

Hi all,
I just recently went back to complete stock, from CM, as I want to hand it over to a friend.
I successfully switched back to C432B160 last week.
But still not a single update does show up, though that build is from November 2016.
It always tells me, that there are no updates. I am aware that Updates will show up with Hisuite, but shouldn't the stock updater present updates, too?
(I am not even talking about Nougat)
I already successfully tried a factory reset.
The only idee I have, is that I now have a DS oeminfo on an originally SS phone.
Does anyone have an idee, what might be wrong?

well, if you have ds oeminfo while your phone is ss, try flashing ss oeminfo and then the stock rom again

Well the phone was SS at the beginning, but now I have oeminfo for DS and Stock Rom for DS (B160)

I wiped all and completely new flashed B160.
I did not setup any account (Google, Huawei), but only connected the phone to my WIFI.
Still neither Update nor HiCare show any available updates.
Does this need a SIM Card to be in the phone? Are there any other precautions?
I have no idea why it behaves like this.
edit: both frp and bootloader are locked according to the Bootloader Menu
I might add 2 weeks ago when coming from CM, there were no updates in update menu but HiCare, so I went fo Nougat. Nougat did not work properly, so I went back to B160 in order to start again, but since then, I never saw any update in menu, nor HiCare.
Might Huawei block DS Roms for IMEIS of originally SS phones?

Push, maybe @k1ll3r8e has an answer for me?

Heyho,
sounds really wired...
-
Here is what u can try,
1) bring the device back to stock (unrooted, loader closed)
2) do a factory reset and also the cache clear which is offered in the stock recovery
-
Start the device, do a dummy setup (only wlan is needed) check if the device offers an update. If not, well, try to manually update from C432B160 to C432B210 and check the update app again.
About this issue, i'm not sure, but maybe Huawei have a "downlaod limit" for an IMEI, that u can only download the update for example 10 times or so... I don't know^^ - I can only say, my device "L31 - Single-SIM - T-Mobile" modded to C432B380 dual-SIM have no issues with updates... I got since B130 every update via the normal update app. - But i also know that the updates will be released in waves, i don't know how they exclude/include devices in such an wave. But maybe, u have an oeminfo from an device which wasn't in the "current wave list". - As already mentioned i don't know how they manage those waves or what the trigger is...
Hope i could help u a bit
Regards
Sebastian

So, did you try upgrade on N using Firmware finder?
If not, try it and you will see if your device in black list. I also use DS firmware for SS model and just last night I upgraded normaly from B160 to B370 Ota, and after that to B380 Ota.

@k1ll3r8e
Yes it already is a dummy setup. I will manually upgrade to B210 and try again, Thanks alot! @Alexxxx1
Firmware Finder is the Windows tool, isn't it? If above progress won't work I might boot my Windows partition and check on that.
Is there by chance any other way to check if the device is somehow blacklisted?
@all
Would Huawei push the updates to my device, if I would contact them? (I ask because of the altered oeminfo. Or would the refuse support in that case, which is what I guess)
edit: Does by chance anyone have a link to the C432B210 ROM?

Heyho,
if u have an L31, go to my FTP (oeminfo) and go a few folders back, then u'll find a Huawei folder there are several versions stored.
Edit:
Here is the link (just back on my PC)

Firmware finder is android app. You can find it in google play store as a free tool for upgrade huawei devices. In Ffinder you will find option for checking autorization of official firmware for your device, is it allowed or not for your device.
Regards

I did flash B210, but no Updates withiin 1 day. (I think time was to short)
I then flashed B370 Full-PV via Firmware Finder.
B380 should come automatically sometime, hopefully.
I think its time to hand it over to my friend now.
Only thing I am curious about is:
settings -> about phone -> certification: Serbia
I guess this is normal for C432?

No worries about that
I bought mine also from T-Mobile DE, and mine shows also "Serbia"... I searched a bit for similar issues and it seems that also the P8 with C432 is for "Serbia" at least a unknown amount of it, sooo i think it comes from the "ROM" not from the device. Maybe they only certify the ROM for a "law based standart" to "Serbia". - Who knows...^^

Cannot find update Huawei P8

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

Hi
Thanks for your link! Now I've one more question. If I update the phone mannually, does the warranty become invalid?

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)

So I am still waiting for my nougat OTA update and was wondering how I could get it. The strange thing is that I got an update a few weeks ago which gave me the April security patch. But nougat and emui 5 is no where to be seen. Please send help

Hello dude,
i searched using FF for updates for your firmware and seems that aren't let you upgrade to emui 5...
So after a year since first upgrades to android 7 arrived, it's quite hard to believe that it will come in next times for you man...
Now you can wait and pray, or try to REBRAND changing your CUST ( C16 ) to another one, like C432 for europe or
C636 for asia and so on... you can find all files you need and serch for a OEMinfo.img+custom.bin closest to the place you live.
( example: i have VNS-L31C02B390 live in europe, will rebrand to C432 ).
Here on XDA you will find some guide / tools that will help you doing this, just use search and READ carefully...
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
Regards

If im not mistaken vns-l31c16 is the South African variant which mtn sells. I got mine through mtn and it seems like they aren't gonna push the nougat firmware out, instead they keep updating marshmallow with the latest security patches.
You best chance is to rebrand to European firmware (c432) and update to nougat
