Update Methods and other information
0. Official Update Channels from Huawei
Before you start updating your favorite Honor 6 through OTA, Local Update (LU) or with The 3 Buttons (3B) method you have to understand what kind of ROM you have to download and update to.
The official channels from Huawei are currently only two, which makes the things easier.
The first one is the beta/dev channel. This channel usually includes new features and bug fixes that have yet to arrive at the stable ROM or they won't arrive at all.
The second one is the so-called "stable". It's usually polished and as possible as it can be bug free. If you don't know what ROM to Download use this channel.
An easy way to distinguish these two ROMs is the following.
1. Go to Settings
2. About phone
3. Build Number
There you will find a complex string that contains letters and numbers. You have to look for the last four or more characters. The chances are that the last 3 characters will be in the form of BXXX, where XXX are numbers. If it is in a form of B6XX or 4.XX.YY where XX is the month and YY are the day, on which, this ROM released, then you are on the beta channel. If the string is in a form of B3XX then you are in the stable channel. The last four or more characters may change in the future, please ask any active user, to guide you through, if you don't know in which channel you are on.
Before you start any update procedure please be sure that you have at least 33% of battery and you have a copy(backup) of your files.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To update a Honor 6 there are two, plus one, methods. The one is through the so-called OTA (Over The Air) without the need to connect the smartphone to the computer. The other one is the classical one, that you have to download the ROM on your PC and then copy it, on the memory of your phone or in a removable disk (USB STICK).
1. OTA
The update through OTA, is the easiest, fastest and the most "bloodless". Depending on the update channel that you already present (read above), you will get the same channel update. Explaining a little bit further, if you are on the beta channel you will get the updates of the beta channel, if you are on the stable channel you will get the stable channel updates, there are no crossovers between OTAs*.
*There is only one situation, at the moment, when using a beta version you will end up, in the future (after several updates) updating to the stable channel. This is when Huawei will test a new version of EMUI. In more detail, when Huawei was testing the early versions of EMUI 3.0, it was basically a beta channel for this specific version. This beta channel, as it was an ongoing project, after several updates and due to the project's maturation, it resulted in the first stable version of EMUI 3.0, also known as version B307. After that, Huawei, again splitted the stable channel, in a new beta channel with 4.XX.YY codename and a new stable channel with code B3XX as described above.
1. Go to the Settings
2. Updater (second choice from the last)
3. And tap Check for updates
When you will do the third step (and there is an update to be done by Huawei) there will pop up a message and a wizard will guide you through the update process. When the download of the OTA get finished, the Honor 6 will restart itself, get into recovery and install the update, after all it will return to your home screen with the new update installed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Local Update (LU) or Update via USB drive (USB)
Before we continue explaining the Local Update procedure, let's distinguish the differences between Local Update and Update via USB drive options.
In order for the LU method to be completed, the file must reside in the memory of the mobile phone or microSD card. While on the USB method, the file must be in a removable disk (USB STICK) and be connected through USB OTG cable to Honor 6.
Usually because of the it's easiness the LU method is preferred.
1. Download the ROM from the official site of Huawei (See here) with the help of a Download Manager, like Free Download Manager in order to have better speed and an error free file.
2. The file that you have downloaded it's a zip file which contains a dload folder and a PDF file with a guide. The guide in the PDF is in Chinese, so it's not usable for the most of us here.
3. Extract the zip file wherever you feel like in your PC.
4. Copy the dload folder on the microSD card for the LU method or in a USB stick for the USB method. Before you do so, for the USB Method, please be sure that the USB stick is empty and formatted to FAT32. If dload folder is already present in either of the two methods, delete it.
5. Go to Settings ---> Updater ---> Menu (3 stripes in the bottom) ---> Choose either Local Update or Update via USB, depending on your choice above.
After the selection, the phone will reboot itself and will continue with the update procedure as described in the OTA method.
The OTA, LU and USB methods are not deleting your files, but it is highly recommended to take a backup of all your files before you start any update procedure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Update through the 3 Buttons (3B)
Last but not least, there is an option to update with the 3 buttons. The so-called three buttons are, the Power On/Off + Volume Up + Volume Down. The method to update with the 3B are the same as the LU but the update procedure changes a little bit.
1. Follow the LU method until step 4 (you do step 4).
2. Turn off the Honor 6.
3. After the shutdown is complete, press the buttons I described above and hold them until the update procedure is started.
Be aware that this update procedures will delete everything in the Honor's 6 memory (not the microSD Card) so if you have any files in there, take a backup of them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Update through Leaked OTAs/ROMs
Attention!The following procedure is to be followed, only and only when, it is well written that the file that you have downloaded is a leaked one. If it is not, then please follow guides 1,2,3 as described above.
Moreover, the following procedure is to be followed, if not any other guide has been given with the leaked material.
Last but not least, the following guide is based on a leaked material inside a zip file. If you don't know what you are trying to do, please ask for more information or a confirmation that this particular method will work.
1. Download the zip* file.
2. Rename it to update.zip
3. Copy the update.zip file, to the dload folder (if there is none, create it. If there is already one present, delete it)
4. Follow the LU method from step 5 and beyond.
The zip file must contain folders, META-INF, patch, system and the file UPDATE.APP. There is a chance it may contain more or less files and folders depending on the leaked material. If the zip does not contain this folder, but there is another zip inside the first one, that contains this folder, then extract the second zip and follow the above procedure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Information
If anything goes wrong with the update, you can always check the update log. First of all you will need a File Explorer that is capable of showing the folder that needs to be accessed. I have already tested ES Explorer and works great, other File Explorers may work too. As @chrissss91 told me, the update log can be found at /splash2/recovery_log , feel free to thank him
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the above guides have been written following official guides from Huawei and personal experience from me and other myphone.gr and xda members. No responsibility will be granted, by following the above guides, if anything happens to you or your phone. By following and doing the above procedures or any combinations of them, you accept the above condition. Use the guides with your own responsibility.

Eg. If you want to make Nova Launcher the Default Launcher, you will have to go to the Settings, Tap on Manage Apps, Find Huawei Home tap on it, Press the Clear Default Button, Press back, Press the cog, Choose Launcher, Choose Nova Launcher and finally press back.
Sometimes this procedure won't work.

Adding more than one Google Account
Adding another Google Account in your Huawei Honor 6 device is a piece of cake.
0.First you have to follow this guide to install GAPPS and Contact&Calendar Syncing.
1.After that download Youtube app from Google Play Store as usual.
2.Open youtube app and slide from left to right, to bring up the slidebar.
3. Press on your account name if you are already logged in, in the Youtube app or Connect if you are not.
4. Press the Add account option
5. In the next screen you can choose between, creating a new google account or synicng an existing one.
6. You can choose what will be synced
7. We can finally see that the new google account has been added.
You can see the images below, they are in the Greek Language, but I strongly believe that you will get through easily, even if Greek is not your native language .

Honor 6 Different editions
The Honor 6 currently is being sold in 6 different versions. The six different versions codenames are H60-L01, H60-L11, H60-L02, H60-L02 Unicom (L02-U), H60-L12 and H6-L04.
The L01 and L11 support only one SIM card (TD-SCDMA & TD LTE) but not European Networks (WCDMA, FTD LTE).
The L02, L02-U and L12 support two SIM cards (WCDMA 900/1200 & FDD LTE). The differences between L02 and L02-U are mostly in the boot logo which can be seen here.
The L04 supports only one SIM and it's the International edition of the Huawei Honor 6, and it's the only edition that officially distributed in Europe through hihonor and Huawei. The L04 supports WCDMA 900/1800/2100 and FDD LTE 800/1800/2100/2600/2600 (TD). This version is also being sold officially in Russia and India.
Storage: The L01, L02, L02-U, L04 have 16GB of storage and L11, L12 have 32GB
NFC: The only versions that support NFC are L11 and L12.
You can find a visual represent of all these in the following Google Spreadsheet by clicking here.

Enable Bubble Notifications from apps like FB Messenger, Link Buble etc.
Bubble notification was introduced, mainly to us by the Facebook Messenger and it's easiness to multitask between an opened app and the FB Messenger itself. After FB Messenger, many apps used this type of Notifications to interact with the user.
To enable these type of Notifications you should follow the procedure below.
1. Go to Settings
2. Notifications Manager
3. Go the right tab which is called Dropzones
4. Enable every app that you want to be able to have Bubble Notifications
5. Go to the left tab, Notifications, tap on the app that you enabled on the right tab and select Allow
After that, you will have to go to
1. Settings
2. Protected Apps
3. Make sure that the app is protected from closing.
For more help, please view the attached screenshots.

Auto Power On Honor 6 by alarm
The automatic power on of Honor 6 may seem a big help from some users. Although the Honor 6 doesn't have an option to do that by the settings, you can use the alarm app to do this.
1. Go to the Huawei's Alarm Clock
2. Create an alarm one minute earlier than the time that you want the phone to power on eg. if you want the phone to open at 20:00 you should create an alarm for 19:59
3. When you will turn you phone off don't forget to check the checkbox that says "Alarms will go off even when your phone is powered off. The next alarm will go off in XX minutes"
4. Then press OK
This will open the power on the Honor 6 automatically at the time that you want.
If the automatic power on of your Huawei Honor 6 is critical for you or your business please try it, before using it in a real environment.
Please see the image attached below.

You can on Google Chrome > Settings > Accounts add as many accounts you want.
And later we all see in the main options of Google Accounts.

bubble notification
good morning,
are holding an honor 6 with emui 3.0.
I wanted to enable notifications in the bubble for applications Gmail and Whatsapp.
Unfortunately in "dropzone" But I only see Skype and Twitter.
I checked for these two applications there is permission "allow notifications" and that they remain active even when I turn off the screen ("Blocked Applications").
Can someone please help me?
Also I wanted to know how I can save the default tab sd all downloaded files and photos downloaded from whatsapp.
thanks

You may like to add this guide for Benefit of all
Charging your battery fully to 100% is known to be harmful to the battery. Similarly, leaving the phone plugged in after charging is also bad. There is a safe way of charging your battery to say 90% and cutting off or disconnecting charger without physically switching off
I have posted on XDA on this. Please try and leave your comments there. This is not to spam but spread awareness. Honor users rarely get some tweaks or tricks

Software intallation filed on 39% with dload method :crying:

I'm not sure why, but I had to use twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img version of TWRP (use the link in the OP but change "twrp-3.0.3.img" to "twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img"). The 3.0.3 version posted in the OP just caused my phone to hang when going into recovery.
With 3.0.2-0-next, it allowed me to complete the Zip installs. Really loving Nougat on this phone!

Dload still not working
There are files that can't be updated via dload that's why it fails.
Best is to install via HiSuite or TWRP!
As usual @sillanwali quick and on the target

These files that are missing, are they something that a user can insert to the .app folder, or is it something Huawei bakes into it?
Cheers.

Yes I tried Hisuite and it said I'm on the latest official firmware too. But I'm on l09c636b170 so I think it's stuck in the past.

I've installed 3 updates, 2 were beta and now this B521 but its build numer always stay as NRD90M test-keys. HISuite says im already on last version. Quite confusing

Product Model: NXT-L09A
Warranty: I'm sorry your device does not belong to United States and Huawei doesn't support international warranty. Please refer to the place of purchase for more details.
On the back it says IC: 6369A-nxtl09

Hello I have the NXT-L09 hear in the United States will my phone get pushed the OTA Android 7.0 update:laugh:

Beta

Hey i saw that there is Huawei app from witch you can get android 7 (if you are in Europe) but you need to have b160 and if i have b161 i can downgrade with 3 button method? And after that i will be able to join beta?

Yes you can downgrade with 3 button method. After that maybe you can, maybe you can't join the beta. There are limited slots for the beta as I understand so they won't pick everyone who applies.

Use the search function, don't be lazy.

This is a link posted on here somewhere that takes you to a german site and I used the B161 version (there is a B160 as well) and it worked using the following:-
https://www.huaweiblog.de/downloads/huawei-p9-lite-b160b161-firmwareupdate/
installation translated from german
Download Huawei P9 Lite firmware package (make sure you get the right model - L21 or L31)
Put the unpacked "update.app" file on the SD card of the P9 Lite into the dload folder.
Using Dialer and input the following code * # * # 2846579 # * # *
Select "Software Upgrade" and start SD Update
After the update the P9 Lite restarts and carries out the usual optimization - this can take a few minutes so have patience.

Asus Z300M Nougat update?

Has anyone installed the Nougat update for the Asus Zenpad 10 Z300M?

Yes I do, what do you need to know?

I didn't know there was an update to Android 7 - I'm still hoping (probably in vain) for this tablet to be rooted.

Bad news I'm afraid. You need the original login details used to setup the device when it was originally purchased other than that it's a long winded battle with ASUS to prove you didn't steal the device.
Good luck

After update the system reboots all the time when WiFi is ON.
If I turn OFF wifi - it works fine. No other solution...

There is a thread right after this listing when search for Z300M on XDA that claims TWRP and asus bootloader unlock tool (not necessary 2 get twrp) and was the reason I purchased this tablet. So far errors in everything in the OP with no responses and I hate to be paranoid but once I know, if not twice I have actuall run into "FAKE" threads on XDA in the 2-3 years being on here claiming root/twrp for a device with a small amount of chit chat, responses.... that was pure BS!
Anyhow, if you ever get root here is the fix for your multi-user issue, with es file explorer, or root explorer and editing the boot. file:
Enable Multi Window and Multi User Modes
If you have a rooted Marshmallow ROM (or Nougat), you can enable the 2 features above by editing the build.prop file found in /system/
For multi-window mode, change this entry in build.prop
ro.build.type=user
to -
ro.build.type=userdebug
To enable multi-user mode, add these 2 lines to the build.prop (anywhere, it doesn't matter)
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Once you've made these changes, reboot the tablet.
To use multi-window mode, go to Settings, Developer options, and there will be a new menu item to switch this on or off.
To use multi-user, there will be a new option under Settings called Users.
If anyone seeing this has accomplished root on the Z300M 16GB wi-fi tablet, please let me know.....
thanks,
zach
ps of course, make sure you make a copy of the boot file to ext sd card or somewhere b4 just in case.... in the 15 times I have used this on 6.0, 7.0 lenovo & LG devices & 1 HTC... never had an issue BUT...

Asking around since purchasing this tablet due to thread on here claiming twrp but its falling on its face and no response as of yet.....

Thank you coolbeans2016, that's right the reason I am too desperately looking for a way to root: to apply that fix.
Btw, I really do not see the reason for Asus to disable a native function (multi-user) that is - to me - obvious for a tablet. (Maybe it eats resources? i.e. storage space)

problem is

Problem is the instructions for getting TWRP flashed or even just booted up on TWRP threaded for installation of SuperSU or Magisk is failing. I've been told I'm wrong and am just not reading or following the instructions correctly but on a VERY popular device there is NO ONE claiming $$PROFIT$$ on the thread! Even the ones claiming understanding of the thread are having complications but only have an average of 6 posts as jr users with no thanks feedback.... yet they have no questions regarding using the SP Flash Tool?!!!!! Strange to me!
I'm contacting the dev on the thread AGAIN to see if I can get a detailed set of instructions in JUST getting TWRP onto this tablet, or its useless to me......
He really thought I was calling his thread a false listing but straightened it out with him about the fact he references another such thread along the same lines for the Verizon Asus A380M, which EVERYONE knows has never been, probably never will be able to get a custome recovery, let alone root of any kind!!!!!!!!
Any info you come across, or if you have tried the thread I'm mentioning please let me know your errors encountered, any ideas how WE may be not taking the instructions correctly.

Oreo open beta 1 Chinese version already available

I guess global version will come within 2 days.

Step by Step Guide - Android 8.0 Chinese beta. Clean/dirty flash lock/UL BL.
Hello Guys,
To make things easy heres a step by step guide to install the chinese oreo beta on locked/unlocked Bl for the 5T
So I got my hands on the android oreo chinese beta (H2OS) and flashed it on my oneplus 5t which was on a locked bootloader and running stable 4.7.6 with star wars theme enabled. Here's a step by step guide to install H2os Oreo beta rom wtihout losing any data.
WARNING : BACKUP - BACKUP - BACKUP and flash at your own risk. I would not be responsible for any loss.
METHOD 1 : FOR LOCKED/UNLOCKED BL BUT WITH STOCK RECOVERY
1) Download the rom from this link : https://goo.gl/4nPrxx
2) Ensure you have backed up all your important data and make sure you have atleast 50% battery.
3) Copy the downloaded zip to phones internal memory (make sure its in the main directory and not in any folder.
4) Go to settings > system updates > top right hand corner tap the settings icon > tap local upgrade > tap on the downloaded file > tap update now and wait for it to finish installing the update. ( first boot will take 8 to 10 minutes so please dont panic.
5) Once first boot is done you may have a force close for 1 or 2 apps just uninstall them and reinstall from the play store and you are good to go. Also star wars theme continues to work and all basic functions work as expected.
6) If you want a clean install or having many force closures please perform a factory reset and everything should be resolved.​

2. Third-party applications may not compatible list, please download the attachment compression package. Android O may not be compatible with the application list. Rar (25.83 KB, Downloads: 364)
This a translation of the update. I used g translate. :good:

It seems to run OK. Obviously some stuff is still in Chinese. I tried to flash TWRP and TWRP booted but even after a clearing cache/Div the ROM then would not boot. I just got a white light.
For initial install I did a complete data format then loaded the stock recovery ,and the latest stable OOS, then flashed the Chinese O.. You do need to pull a PlayStore .APK and reload all the Google apps after a flash.

Unless this one is different than the one they have on their main site, it's not Oreo. I flashed it, tried flashing Gapps and Gapps said I had to flash appropriate Gapps for 7.1 :/

Very nice. Thanks for the write-up!

Already open beta 3 now.
