Well, "technically" Android 7, is not officially available for all versions of the Mate8, and today is the LAST day of
the first quarter of 2017, which is when Huawei said last year, it would be made available.
Anyone know what the official status is now?
I'm not talking about using a 3rd party app to download Nougat, but the settings>about>update way of getting
a software update. No knock against the 3rd party apps, but, the manufacture update way should be the easy
way to update the OS.
Official update received for manly friends on thier phones c185b200 ota to b560
Nougat 7.0 official released on c636 variant.

Nope...nothing
I'm in the USA, and even if I select "South Africa"...update manager, Hicare, Firmware Finder
nothing shows up for FULL except for what I already have, L29C185B321. The 560 shows up,
but only as OTA, not full, which does not work properly.
100% stock, non root.
"Technically" they have until midnight (China?) to release it, to stay on track of releasing it by the
end of the 1st Quarter of 2017.
So do I, still with the build number NXT-L29C3636B180.
today is the LAST day of the first quarter of 2017, which is when Huawei said last year, it would be made available.
Anyone know what the official status is now?
And this information I get from Huawei Contact Center by email, "Thank you for contacting Huawei. We would like to advice you that the release date on the air for Noughat version is from 28/2/2017 - 28/3/2017.
So sad
I contacted them via facebook, got the stock answer "stay tuned" bla bla bla.
maybe, Huawei tagline is take it or leave it, hahahahaha
Maybe "Firmware Finder" will help you?

Firmware finder, if you have the OTA switch turned on, will show up newer than 321 firmware, but
bombs after it tries to install. If you have the OTA switch turned off, to only show the FULL release,
321 is the newest.
Use the firmware guides in separate threads to update. FF doesn't give all files to update to nougat.
Also B584 is rock solid. Still few glitches maybe there to correct.
GET REAL , 7.0 says official in b560 b663 and al10 b577 . why post a thread like this , lets do some real development not wastes of time replys.
god bless

NOT official on B180, B321
If you use the official Huawei app(s), it will show nothing available.
If you use firmware finder, it will show the OTA versions, but not the FULL version.
If you attempt to download and install the OTA versions, they will FAIL at 5-10%.

This morning, I turned it on and found that there was a security update. I thought Samsung had completely abandoned it and was going to disable automatic update check.
Perhaps I hoped too much. I was hoping that the version would go up from 5.0.2 to 5.1, but the version remained the same. The only changes I have found are
1. Security Patch Level is now 2016-11-01
2. System Panel does not show process names any more.
Well, at least they have not completely abandoned it yet.... or have they?
No update here, but if true, that's quite a positive surprise!

I love my pro but I am very skeptical about an update of any sort at this date

March 19th OTA update
I just got an OTA update on March 19th, 2017. Bestill my heart...
Software updated P905VVRSBPL1
Android 5.1.1
^Me too. 63,55 MB! Seems to be a security patch.
My two tablets just received about 60MB updates. Installing now
Edit: both security updates with weird names
Hello how you get this update on my lte p905,i'm still on 5.02
The security update doesn't change the Android version. Try Smart Switch or the sammobile website!
Title says it all. Just asking if there are any nougat updates as i've found three but all of them said that it's incompatible and download the correct package.

I updated to B329 last night. I used Firmware Finder, and installed the latest file from 03/05/2017, and everything went smoothly. I updated from B125 though.
When using the Firmware Finder proxy method, make sure to turn OFF "See packages from current region". This is important, otherwise you'll end up with NRD90M test-keys. Good luck, and I hope it works for you. This is done at your own risk though.

No, you do not need to be rooted.
thanks for your reply, but it doesn't work.
when I download the package, I can't send the update to the "normal application", I always receive a message to adapt the proxy setting (it's done).
Yeah, I succeeded to update just a couple days after the post, now im planning on debranding my phone and going to b388.

I never had that problem, so unfortunately I can't help you with that. It could be Firmware Finder that is causing that.

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.
Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

Oh OK, as screenshots were for another phone (5c maybe), i thought 5x could be different.
So only stuff needed is stock and recovery stock and check OTA ?
Other thing, can i downgrade with twrp backup or is an add-on ZIP to flash also to do like aex->b340->b370->b340->aex ?

That was for 6X.
You can restore the twrp backup to downgrade not sure if can go to MM from Nougat but Nougat 350 to Nougat 340 is possible.
Yes only thing is you need to be on stock rom, to check for uodate you can be on twrp no problem but to install, you need to switch to stock recovery.
OP updated with instructions.
:good:
Just had this update today (unlocked global model)
Can't say I've noticed anything major yet.
Oh persistent notifications or at least some of them, seem to be working like they ought to now, which is a first for me, as every notification was swipeable in the past.
Actually that's quite old update, some got it in the beginning of October. We should be getting Oreo update, not some minor pach
and I haaaate persistent notification
arrived in Germany yesterday...
No update for me on the US model as of now

My wife's Mate 9 a fully stock German unlocked OEM model received the B198 OTA, mine a fully stock German unlocked OEM model is still on B194 and keeps telling me there's no update? Both Mate 9's are not rooted and are fully stock. The only thing, mine came without box and charger (2nd hand) so I don't know if it got unlocked and re flashed, got it from ebay.de. Is there a way to check from which region the phone originally came?

Change 'de' to other iso country symbols - IT for Italy, SE for Sweden, NL for Netherlands
Additionally, you can try Huawei Online-Chat.
Thanks for the link...mine shows under warranty till 14-08-2019 while the mate 9 from my wife is no longer under warranty, exp 01-05-2017.
Both are the same models, I can however not see if they are branded or not...
Just received the B198 update on the second...that means if the official Android Oreo gets released for the Mate 9, both our phones should receive them via the OTA. Happy days!

Oreo is still in beta version. You can get the update if you wish via the Nokia beta labs program. Just look it up, sign up and register your phone's IMEI and it should prompt you for and update within 12 hours.
Still beta
Yeah. It will take a day or two (I'm checking like every hour or two) for it to come to all other countries.

How can I receive it? I don't see it in Spain
Did anyone received Android 8?
As far as I can tell Android 8 has been released in at least Vietnam and India.
In Czech Republic is no Oreo. Still only beta.
Need I Oreo beta for this update or is 7.1.2. sufficient.
I hope that the kill apps bug is gone in Oreo final.
7.12 will be fine to get Oreo, it may just take a few more days maybe
Still no Android Oreo in Bulgaria :'(
Got update in Germany yesterday. Was in the beta before that.

I don't tink being in the beta changes anything. I'm in the beta and still don't have it. It's just a phased rollout, we need to wait for it to spread.
