Hi, I have a Huawei Nova and I can't upgrade it to Android 7.0 Nougat. The firmware I have atm is CAN-L01C150B102. All the firmwares I found are for the c432 version. Is it possible to upgrade to Nougat on the firmware I'm running atm?
dont do it...its not worth the effort........ imo
I would like to test IT by myself
Hehe...thats you choice my friend...and you will like it for maybe a week then youll search for a way to roll back...
And youll be stuck...
And may end with apps that dont work like theme manager...
And search everyday for hoping for an update for your device...
To say...after a while.....i shouldnt have.........

Ive updated my Nova CAN-L11 (not rooted) two days ago to Nougat (B340) and i didnt have any issue until now. Themes app is working without any problems.
Ive encountered 2-3 slowdowns, but Chrome might have been the issue as i had too many tabs opened.
Battery backup seems same. But it seems that there is more free ram. Also it seems that the Z-RAM is gone (if i remember properly, ive seen Z-RAM on MM at Android OS memory usage).
Ive upgraded mainly because i wanted to test as well and because i like more the notification panel. However, i think i would stick with MM for two reasons:
- it works just fine
- Xposed (usually i use only XPrivacy though)

Honestly, i feel a bit like i wanna rollback But im not sure if i will do it.
Did you try to rollback and failed? I read in the downgrading thread that some people has succesfully downgraded with the help of a TWRP backup.
Recently i read that reinstalling stock firmware relock the bootloader, so basically the phone still has warranty. If this is the case, ill root it right away as i cant bear it anymore without root
I should have rooted my Nova when i was on MM to take a backup with TWRP.
I still havent recieved any hints on how to upgrade to 7.0. Does anyone know how to do it with The current software that I Jacek ?

first,have you found the right update for YOUR device ?...
it MUST match the firmware number you already have on your phone...if not,it will fail at 5%
Most od The softwares i tried failed at 5 so now I know why. Is there a possibility there is no nougat for The c150 version ?

Via fastboot,you can extract it with huawei extract tool. And you need to have bootloader unlocked.
ok, so I have no idea how to do all that - I guess I will have to stick to my current version.
CAN-L01C150B102 is nougat,

I don't why you're waiting full ROM packages are available you can download and run a oocal update
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA-Developers mobile app
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!

Is it possible, to open a thread for the Nova Plus MLA-LXX only?
Root, firmwareupdates , etc.
i think its a good idea...im in canada /rogers with mla-l03...and not much here for our version
Not rooted ( yet ) but got the unlock code, me too
have the code, yet not used, all my other mobiles ihave rooted
Like i said...our device is a one pretty young...birth in september so...theres no rush to "enter the dragon" :angel:
But very anxious to try nouEmui
i have tried the unlock code, and it works, but i have relocked it.....
I've the MLA-L11 too. would be awsome to have a working TWRP , no use in getting bt unlocked
unless there is a custom recovery. I'd say we find a dev and donate enough to persuade him to work
on a twrp !

Ota upgrade made with my MLA-L03 to Nougat yesterday and all working great! Used FF to push the update via proxy and changed from C654B140 to C578B302 with stock updated app. Best I've like the phone yet!! Big improvement in every aspect so far.

You can try this to update to Nougat: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v73849/f1/full/update.zip Extract all the files and place them in a dload folder then place that on the root of your SD Card and install it using the three button method. If your Build Number is not showing up correctly after installing that install this: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_MLA-L11_hw_eu.zip using the same method as before. If it does not work the first time you may need to flash the stock EMUI 5 Nougat recovery which will let you install Nougat updates, I had to do this for the CAN-L01C432 variant as the update kept stopping at around 40%. EMUI 5 Nougat Recovery: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4T1GJ6EZ3LvTWNpZ0p5YXVINGs It is up to you to try it and I am not trying to make you as I do not have a MLA variant so I do not know if it will work or not. I hope this this helps.

Yes, understand, which build is it and is there no problem to get the official one when i had install it?
If it doesn`t work how to get back to notmal firmware?
I have all my devices rooted , but this one not, there are to less informations about my build, therefore i have no twrp installed.
Im careful, my last device was honor 7, and i have no problem with twrp and root, but more informations.
Download is very slow.
Do you have made the update to nougat, and does it run without bugs?
I have still not got the software update which was released a week ago or maybe some more days
If anybody of you has also not got it please tell ?

Hi,
Someone with RETEU has received the OTA update?
I ask only to know it.
Looks to be a minor update, but at least they're still thinking about us
States EMUI version 5.0.1
Android version 7.0
Android security patch level August 5, 2017
So far, the main change I have noticed is the addition of a "Moving Picture" mode to the camera app, which is similar to the Live Photos you would find on iOS.
Also, it seems they have added an automatic video creation "Highlights" feature to the Gallery app, utilizing Quik video editor. Not sure if this was already included in previous versions.

Got this update notification on my FRD-L14 2 days ago and for some reason it keeps failing to install with error "failed to verify update package" i was initially rooted and had Magisk 14.0 installed. But i've reverted to stock recovery and boot image which i flashed using fastboot commands.. Can anyone help with the above or better still piont me in the thread on how to create a TWRP package so i can flash it.
I've even gone as far as flashing system.img from my backup B385 UPDATE.APP but still no luck.
I am using a FRD-L14 and currently on stock EMUI 7.0.

U have stock recovery and boot right? Flash the recovery and boot image of B385 and then from recovery factory reset ur phone. After that try and see if u can update ur device. Also if u wish to lock ur bootloader then hit download latest full package.

Well I got the phone about a week ago and just activated my new tmo sim card last night to get cell service on it so I'm probably not the best judge of whether any performance changes occurred. Based on the change log I wasn't expecting much though.
FYI I'm still completely stock, locked bootloader for now if that made any difference in the delivery of the update.

Thanks for the explanation. This is the route I had to take. I have FRD-L04. I was on B385 with TWRP and Magisk 14.0. Unrooting and flashing boot.img and recovery.img from 385 did not help to install the new update. I keep getting the same error of Package failed. No matter what I seemed to try nothing worked.
So, this sucks, but, I factory reset. Then RE-locked bootloader. Then, I had to download *latest full package* otherwise I still received same error. But, now I am on B388 and i'm going to try flashing TWRP and installing Magisk now.
Live photos seems interesting. Pretty excited about that.
Question to anyone who got the update, any changes in battery life?
I have an Honor 7X and it has caused me incredible amount of stress and waste of time trying to get Oreo. I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
I had been trying to use the software updater to check for Oreo for months and it always said I had the latest software - which isn't true. I also used Hi Suite to no avail. I just registered my phone with Huawei and it updated. I am not sure if your third phone is unregistered, but make an account with them and check. I wasted so much time, bricked my phone, paid for DC Unlocker, tried to flash Oreo stock etc... finally I have it the legitimate way.
Now, the next thing I would like to do is install an Oreo custom rom - but I am not paying more money to DC Unlocker. If anyone wants me account details for the DC Unlock to recover their bricked phone, I have 2 days left and will provide info.

Don't recommend things you dont know about. Android 9 is still buggy, at least provide a bug list...

I mean, I know of 2 really easy ways to update to oreo, it isn't very hard...
1. You can use hurupdater and download full ota of oreo and flash it
2. You can use firmware finder app and have it update through dns and whatnot

That looks reall promising.
Also my BL locked honor 7x has the ancient version B101 !! Thats the version which it comes with.
Tried several things and didn't managed it to update to oreo (Firmware FInder with DNS & Proxy, Factory reset, ...)
Your approach sound promising.
Did you register the phone on www.hihonor.com ?
When you register the phone, did you wait some time before checking for system update again?
Thank you

Thanks for your suggestions!
I am also stuck @ B101 version since ages (12/2017).
1. hurupdater just works if BL is unlocked. I have no BL unlock and also will leave it as it is
2. This approach does'nt either! Have tested DNS & VPN method, the device is seeing the update but always states "Update Package error" (just from mind, did'nt remind me of the correct message)
Have tested this with several packages where FF always states that it is approved.
So the OPs approach seems maybe an solution/workaround.
The update was immediate after I registered. However, I have thought about the process I took.
I tried several times using various methods of updating to oreo... and finally I bricked the phone.
I then downloaded DC Unlocker and paid to unbrick the phone and tried to flash official stock rom for Oreo. It didn't work.
I then flashed official stock raught rom and the phone unbricked. I made an account with huawei and registered the phone. Immediately the update for oreo popped up.
My thoughts - either I was using a modified rom which the vendor installed and this prevented an update to oreo, or I just needed to register.
My advice - try registering an account with huawei and if you don't get an update, try flashing official stock rom with no modifications. Also make sure the stock rom is designed for your particular phone - I learnt the hard way and bricked the phone. But in the end, many hours later and 18 euros later I have Oreo.
Yes it true, Android Pie should be available soon - but I believe if you can't get Android 8, it's unlikely the phone will update to 9.
Huawei has made it very difficult for people with their restriction on unlocking bootloader - very very disappointed. My main phone is Huawei P20 Pro and I am very happy with it, but the Honor 7x is a potentially amazing phone... just disappointed with a few things. I would have kept the Honor 7x if the camera was a bit better and would have no problem in paying a bit more.
Best wishes guys. I still have access to DC Unlocker if anyone wants it - think it has a day left.

Thanks for all the info.
Will make an acount soon to test if it helps out.
If not, does DC-Unlocker unlocks BL?
What does this mean that you have access for one day.
Thank you

DC Unlocker can potentially unlock the BL but I didn't pay for that. Yet anyway.
I paid for 3 days access to the software, and I have 1 day left. If you find that after registering your phone it does not update to oreo, and you want use it to flash official stock rom for your phone, let me know. I have 1 day left of using the software.

I would suggest flashing stock rom first - what is your firmware? I am on BND-AL10
I am on BND-L21 modell and fiormware is BND-L21C432B101, its stock, never done anything regarding firmware (because it dont work .
How can i archive this?
Sorry not much experience with honor/huawei devices.

I don't have a lot of time right now as I am heading out...
But download the exact stock Naught rom for you phone - very very important. Don't try Oreo as it won't work. The file should be an official version without any modifications.
I used this website: http://huawei-firmware.com/phone-list/huawei-honor-7x
Also, make sure it is the full OTA (should be about 1.65GB). The file is a zip. You will need to extract the update.app file from the zip.
The DC Unlocker software uses the update.app file from the zip.
Once you have download both the DC Unlocker and official stock rom as outlined above, connect your phone in fastboot mode and flash the update.app to the phone. You will then have the official stock rom. By the way, please back everything up on your phone - I would suggest to a computer.
Then register the phone with the Huawei with your ID and Oreo should download. I will PM you the login details for my DC Unlocker account. I can tell you now - it won't unlock the bootloader, I don't have enough credits for it. I just bought enough to unbrick the phone.
Finally, I can't take responsibility for anything - I am just telling you what I did when 1) I couldn't update to Oreo, 2) I had my phone bricked, and 3) I now have Oreo.
I hope it helps you and anyone else facing this issue.

To be honest, I don't know which one would be suitable for your phone. I made my guess based on the fact that you have a BND-L21 model. Also I was looking out for "FullOTA-MF" rom and also one which I think is Naught.
These are the main factors which I took into account which got my phone unbricked and using the official stock rom rather than a custom one which the vendor modified before I bought it. I have doubled checked, you have about 23 hours with the DC Unlocker to play around...
By the way, you extract the update file from the zip, that is the only file you'll need from the zip
