You can choose the top OTA and download, or click the first link in my other post, I don't have any info on how to install it, i don't want to take a chance that its a beta..
You can probably fallow the same how to as B521, dload folder on sd card might work.

I got update by OTA today. You can update to B521 First. Then waiting for OTA.

Did some more reading and found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/update-to-nougat-easiest-playstore-app-t3554957
other people have upgraded to B563 using this method. some said it was stable so i decided to upgrade.
I fallowed the instructions in the beginning of the thread and it was pretty easy to upgrade to B563 from B211.
Unchecked View last firmwares inside firmware finder and i was able to select B563 and then go into setting > update of the phone and update..
I can confirm that everything looks to be working, no problems like B521 has..
Bluetooth and default keyboard work.
the phone was a bit slow after it booted, but was ok after 5 minutes or so..
no problems up to now.

Does B521 also need 5 minutes to boot into system?

Cant update from b200 to b563, get error
Should i upgrade to 521 first?....

I have tried to upgrade from B521 without success. I keep getting authorization failure message in the end.
And if you are not able to uppgrade from B200 that means it doesn't make any sense for me to downgrade to be able to upgrade to B563.
I wonder if anyone has managed to upgrade to B563 from B521?

I got the OTA update and managed to update to B563 from B521. I have signed up to be beta tester last time. Probably this update is pushed to those beta tester only

So B521 is definitely a beta release.
What is B563 then? Is it official version? How on earth can one tell which version is official and which is the beta?

I think this B563 is still beta. So far there's no official final version for C636 variant yet.

Hi, i'm an italian user, i've a Mate 8 NXT-L29C636B170. I try to update but for each version (b193, b211, b521, b563) i have "failed to check update package" error.
How Can i fix It?

You have to download the official full version. since b521 and b563 are beta, you'll get failed to update package error. Trying googling for B321 full version. I was on B170 myself before I updated to B321. Let me know if you can't find it.

That with official and beta is like rocket science, not many knows which is which. My phone is delivered with B180 so I can assume that was the "official" release. Since then I had have many versions that I downloaded from the official firmware thread here on the forums and updated via dload method. I was always successful even though I had to do factory reset before the update sometimes.
So back to the official/beta versions question. What is the source of information telling you what release is official.
I have successfully updated to B563 by downgrading to B211. I downgraded, factory reset my phone and update to B563 was showing available in system update. It was not through firmware finder and I'm not a beta tester so if B563 isn't official why was it in my system update then?
Personally I don't care what kind of release it is as long it is a stable release. It seems to be individual as well, I had good experiance with B521 and no issues with that release but I read that people had problems with it.
Any way I'm very satisfied with B563, no issues with it yet so I'm keeping it.

I tried and tried different packages and versions, but I have not solved anything, always the same error message.
In some packages, there is a META-INF folder ... what is it?
And the UPDATE_DATA_FULL_HW_SPCSEAS package?

Saw someone downgraded it to B211 from B321 and got OTA B563. Maybe you can upgrade it to B211 first?

L29c185b321

Has anyone downloaded and updated the mate 8 with this update from FF?
If yes please let me know your comments so as to decide whether to update as well.
Am currently on C185B190.
Does not seen i Shall ever get an update to nougat.
Thank you

I updated my phone to B321 two days ago. Is seems to be smoother, but it may be like this because I did factory reset that day

Which file u download ... 1.9GB or 400 MB OTA... And do u download it from the F. F apps

I did mine through FF, sending it to the stock update app. Seems a little smoother. With the glitches still coming from
time to time with a lot of people appear to be having with emui5/nogut7 I think I'll hold off on updating to any emui5 firmware.

I'll update to emui 5.0 when they will release something newer than B560.
BTW, I also updated my phone trough FF.

I am on L29C185B200 ... I want to update B560 ... But when I try to download it from the firmware finder app... It's only downloads 74%... It's full file size is 1.87GB but it downloads only 1.4GB ... Help me please

Hi. I am on L29C185b320 can any one suggest a proper way and firmware to upgrade plz.

Try Firmware Finder app for Huawei...

In FF, turn off "use new firmware base" and "view OTA updates"
When I did that, the ONLY firmware that shows up is the 321 firmware OR EARLIER.
I'm of the opinion, I'm going to leave the new firmware base & view OTA off until I see
the "official" version of 7, then wait a couple weeks to see how it works out.

I'm also trying to get 7.0 update... In Firmware Finder it's showing B560 but I can't download it ... There is a problem with the system ...

Doubt there is a problem with the system, it's because your build, will not allow the updating of an OTA version most likely.
In the setting of the FF program, turn off OTA and then look for firmware. When I did that last week, the 321 build was the
only option I had. My guess is that when/if a FULL build for our particular phone is available, with the OTA turned off, a
full build will show up.
But, that is just a theory on my part.

What's your build number ... Mine is L29C185B200...

Mine came with L29C185B180, then it updated to 321

Downgrade firmware LX1AC432

I upgraded to B193 through Firmware Finder and now my battery life seems have become worse then when I was on B187. Is there anyway I can downgrade to B187 again or even B131? Also do official OTA updates become disabled if you use Firmware Finder?
My device is the LX1AC432 4GB RAM model

Don't continue downloading cause after you download it completely, it won't install. Cause it's not approved and it's not for honor 8 lite.

Yes we will get oreo update but 322 version is not for us.
There is another version in firmware finder that is 321 and that is for our phone but it can't be installed cause it's not approved for installation.
These versions of oreo that are now on firmware finder are beta. Wait a little for the official stable version. It might be released soon. Maybe this week or next week

The latest version is 214 for our device. If you want to found the firmware for our device in firmware finder you need to do this.
First tap on the Add model button
Then search this: PRA-L21HC185
then tap on ok and you will see this model on the main screen of the app.
The firmwares in that section is for our phone.
The name is different but after you installed the rom,you'll see build number is still pra-la1c185.
Just before getting the update checked the firmware access
The latest version is 214 for now. I installed before and it was approved for installing but now it's not approved. I don't know why!
But you can install 211 if 214 is not approved for you too

Thats funny because usually I can get the update from firmware finder app faster . But i received b214 faster from system update. And I hope we get the Oreo soon

oreo update
how can i download approved Firmware from firmware finder plz tell me

Why Am still in B181 rom

Why my phone didn't get any farther updates? Or this is the latest one?
WAS-LX1AC185B181 is the current firmware.

Same here. It is not the latest update. Latest update is B321 (oreo).. But they had B185, and B183 updates before the oreo update. But we didnt get them that is because of these firmwares were not released in Pakistan.. Other middle eastern countries are having the latest updates.

me too i didn't get those updates....this is weird ?...Maybe we will get updated straight to oreo?

Just get Firmware finder and update via it.

Guys please, the Oreo isn't officially released, it's still beta... And These aren't the latest, there are updates like B198, B197, B203, B206, B209, B210... And yes, you can use firmware finder for huawei from google play to update, just make sure you go to the right firmware for your phone version, see if you are approved for installation (either the installation will stop on 5 or 6%) and check the instruction in the app.

Well it isn't approved.....this is weird....Just gotta wait then?

How you installed it?

There are instructions in the app.
BTW if you want, you can use HwOTA to update to version you aren't approven for.

If you guys needed to check EMUI 8.0 just follow these steps.
