Howdy everyone,
So I didn't want to post here and spam the forum, but I really need the help of our community....
My phone is from Italy, Wind provider. But now I am in Egypt and they don't seem to push any updates, plus I'm rooted and unlocked, so...
Currently on EMUI 4.1.1 / 6.0 / VNS-L31C113B150
I want to upgrade to Nougat, but there seems so many builds here and upgrade should be in a specific order, which I can't seem to figure out
Doesn't matter if I upgrade to non carrier specific... the only important thing is to be on latest Nougat build, unlocked and rooted
I'm sure many others will benefit from this as well
Appreciate your help
Debrand your phone flashing this update: https://goo.gl/CvuiIb, it's C432B160
Then follow this tutorial: https://goo.gl/pQ9WAw, I advise you the HiCare method if it's possible
first of all, wrong thread, as you probably know, second: there's enough guides explaining how to install nougat/unbrand your phone. also, the nougat ota is available to most, don't know about your provider

Hi everybody, i've recently purchased an Honor 7 PLK-L01 in UK. I'm really satisfied with it and i started to follow those threads on XDA, i'm new to this software by Huawei as i've always had Samsung's phones (i still have my S5) and obviously software updates are different as i've seen. My current firmware is C432B121 but here i found a lots of more updates and intermediates' type of as well and my phone doesn't show any further updates like 130-140-180 and so on. Phone is not rooted and it's brand new. I also knew that it's rolling out MM for us so that's why i did this question. Thanks to everyone could explain a bit. Cheers! :highfive:
there's a full thread about this, with links to all kind of released firmwares
i suggest you start with b130 and see if it automatically detects any further ota update.
when i got mine it was stuck on b120, but after manually updating it to b121 i never had to manually update it again
otherwise you just keep manually updating all the way up to b180. i suggest you don't update to b320 right away since it's officiality is still undergoing debate, it might be old BETA update, perhaps released by mistake. still waiting for official news
anyway, the drill's very easy, you'll find every kind of explanation in the plk-l01 roms' thread.
Hello everyone, i was wondering why my Nova Plus didn't get so far the update for EMUI 5.0. I saw in many other posts that other users received Nougat since Q1 2017, OTA. Since the phone doesn't seems to be widespread, i couldn't find info from other possessors about their firmwares anywhere on the net.. so here i am asking .
My phone is stock, never rooted nor unlocked, and i didn't found any recovery/ROM compatible with it here on XDA.. not to mention the warranty, which i wouldn't void until some cool Oreo firmware comes out (i wonder if it will ever happen..why such a great device comes with such few custom firmwares? ).
I even tried via HiSuite, but no updates at all. Should I try with a factory reset, or should I simply wait for an incoming OTA?
I apologize for the repeatitive thread, but you guys are great and I'm sure you'll have some good advices
Thank you

Solved through firmware finder app on the play store, updated via proxy.
I've been searching our forums here but it doesn't seem to be clear how to do this successfully?
My personal situation is having C100 device which I "rebranded" to C128 in order to upgrade to Nougat (guide here) which also included rooting and custom recovery.
I've seen some people having issues updating a rooted device which has custom recovery. Does anyone have experience on this and is able to share?
I would ideally like to update to B353 on current C128 (USA) line of updates, or rebrand back to C100 (EU) and update to B305.

Think it's simply not possible. Tried every variant several times. Only way to get it updated was to make a rollback to Android 6, update it, and then root it again. Kind of cumbersome...
I've been looking out in the forums for info about H990DS development. But I find much less info than other models that got their updates earlier.
Last year I rooted with DirtySanta and updated to the lastest kdz available for my region (twn) with help of KDZ Writer by @emdroidle. Who seems unactive since april.
There was also this H990DS info bank thread that has a bunch of information about H990DS development. Like kdz merging for updates & much more stuff.
But the OP got mad because someone implied that was other developer's work and not his. He made a tantrum and deleted all the information to never be seen again.
I know how to follow instructions, but sadly, I am not a developer myself. Also I don't own many smartphones so I could just change devices if I screw this one up.
But I want to know if there is someone still working on this or if it can be done already. Maybe set a bounty or donations if needed?
Is there a way to upgrade rooted stock rom devices to Oreo without making the device unusable in process?
Would it be possible to keep root when upgrading to Oreo? Maybe flashing certain partitions or files?
Or does it has to be a modified stock rom that is root enabled?
I hope at least get a clear answer about if it can or can't be done. Thanks.
Hey guys, One of my friends S7 edge(SM-G935FD)duos unlocked bought in Australia, Probably a grey import is stuck on MM without any updates
Software update Just says no updates available. Tried connecting to Switch, still no luck finding updates.
I been reading that it could be updated through Odin. Just trying to get it updated to Oreo!
Just few questions before i proceed
1. Can Oreo be flashed directly on MM without going to Nougat?
2. Since he is using the phone in Australia can i flash SM-G935F firmware's found on this link? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XSA/
(just hoping he would get future OTA updates if i flash Australian Firmware. right?)
3. From the above link, how important is the CSC & PDA , can i just choose the latest and flash? Unlocked phone
4. any tips or guides you guys can point me towards
Thank you
sorry, anyone able answer my 1st question if possible?
is there a tg group?
