Has anyone tried installing over root and xposed?

Update: Doesn't work with root.

I know but I didn't had the time and the necessary resources to do it . I was also a Little afraid for the bootloop problem.

Not sure if you know about it, but your phone is basically showpiece from showrooms or shops, that's the X in your version number. This kind of phones are not intended to be sold for customers.
You will never got more updates as you already have, so your only option is to flash it manually.
Bootloop problem is not dependant on software version. It doesn't matter if you have 5.1 or 6.0.

Do you have an accurate source to backup your wild claims?
My EU (UK) H815 v20d-EUR-XX is currently downloading the update.
No need for a manual flash and my device certainly was not a store demo model.

Hello,
My G4 is unlocked and ROOTED and the update is available and in downloading atm.
There are something I should to know about the fact that my smartphone ROOTED evening before applying the update?
Could this affect my G4?
Thank you! =D

Sure,
We are not talking about the same thing.
Look again, and maybe twice at his version number: It's is VX10c-EUR-XX
I'm not talking about XX, but about the first "X"... see?
Sure, your device is the same as mine v20d-EUR-XX which is a retail model, but this is not the case for VX10C-EUR-XX which is unfortunately a demo model

Ok, finally, it seems that I can't update automatically with a G4 ROOTED.
When I launch the update this message pop "phone restarting"
Then boot directly on TWRP... (>_<)
So obviously I can't execute this update automatically... :'(

Off you can't. You have another recovery. Use LG UP and flash it. Easier can't be. Note you will lose root and the recovery.

Me too same model. I don't know what they're talking about. Store models can't even make calls and this deters people from trying to steal them.

Same. Luckily, they seem to have deleted the update so you need to redownload. At least we don't have 500MB lurking somewhere.

Go to thread about the Portugal update and download the KDZ from there. Any link from that thread is the international H815 update. Don't worry about countries and shenanigans is the same firmware for all. V20g-EUR-XX. Install LG UP on your PC. First the DLL then the program. Place the KDZ in your LG UP install directory (Crogram Files (x86)/LG Electronics/LGUP/model/8994). Put your phone in download mode. (With phone turned off press Volume UP and with it press plug in the USB cable). Click refurbished option for a complete wipe and clean flash. Before all this make a backup. You can also select upgrade option to avoid wipe but I always recommend a clean flash. Read the according threads in XDA for further information if you need.

It seems the h818p will not be updated(yet)?

@src151 thanks for the info. I didn't knew that demo phones can have the GSM module. At least I got it at a very good price
I will upgrade manually then.

Honor 8 Android 7.0 + EMUI 5 oficial released!

I think at this point we can really say that the OTA update thas is being rolled out since 2 days ago is the oficial update to Android 7.0 + EMUI 5!

In order to concentrate all the discussion in one thread, I started this one, so please let's try to keep all info in one place!
For those who have your devices with root, please use the rollback packages to go back to b131 and relock your bootloader (necessary?!) before trying to update.
If you haven't receive the update notification yet, try to force it via the HiCare app:
- Make sure you have the latest version of the HiCare app
- Go to services
- Choose the option to early adopters (if you don't have this option, go to Me > Settings > Location and choose another nearby location and try again)
- check if there is a notification of a new update
- accept and follow the instructions
- if everything is ok, you should get the notification update on the update app
If you haven't receive the update yet, don't panic, as always, not everyone receives the update at the same time, we should only expect it to come out on February, so if we are getting it now we can only be patient and happy
For those who don't want to wait for the update via Hicare/Updater, check this thread that can help you getting the update using Charles app method.
PS: It's not mandatory, but it's recommended to do a backup before the update (via HiSuite) and perform a factory reset after the update!
PS2: It's always kind to say thank you! by words and pushing the Thanks button bellow

you can try to change the base country of the HiCare app, just go to Me > settings > location and try with Belgium or Italy for example (it will not change the language of the app!) Probably it won't work, but you don't loose a lot of time trying it

make sure you have:

view OTA updates enabled
installation via system update enabled
then it will ask you to download this app
once downloaded go to your wifi settings, forget your current wifi, make a new one
put in your SSID
show advanced options>proxy>manual
proxy hostname: localhost
proxy port: 8080
find your correct firmware in th app, than go into your default system update and the file should be there
I had to restart the phone because the download wouldn't start, but it did following the restart
it asked to update, took like 5 mins to update, was on 65% for a min or 2 and I was getting worried
but it worked out
warning, If you brick or phone blows up I am not liable, do at your own risk

I think this B521 is 7.0 Beta, final Nougat is B560.

doesnt work for me on L29C185. doesnt list anything nor does updater app detect any new update.

I have c185 and it shows that i can download B560, but when I try to update, it stops at +/- 40%. My current system is B320. Do i have to get back on B190 to update?

My phone (used in the USA) is L29C185B180, and it shows a BUNCH of updates. Full & OTA.
I've downloaded and unpacked...but it's hard to drop the hammer and install. All of Huawei's
software says I have the latest official, so not sure if I will install or just wait a month for Huawei
to "officially" release it on their software updater.

I first installed NXT-L09C432B560 v74088 with Firmware finder for windows, then I installed the OTA update dated 03.01.2017 and filesize 431mb from Firmware finder from the phone. If you are going to install from phone, i would install the largest OTA dated 03.01.2017, then the smaller OTA with the same date after that. I tried installing one of the OTA's dated 20.01.2017 and ended up with test-keys build, had to downgrade to be able to flash the proper one.

Dear developers, My set was on NXT-L29C636B211 and I have successfully download the latest B521 firmware ,unpack and dbload created just need some confirmation before flash the firmware.
I would to know it's an official firmware ,warranty status and will it get any OTA in the future ?

What build were you on. Just double checking...since I'm at 180, can I jump all the way to the 560 build?
One other question, is this one dumping everything and setting it back to stock? No biggie...got everything
backed up...just don't have enough time to set it all back up this evening.

I Didn't download the OTA, I downloaded the full 2.2gb firmware from that app
the phone is now waaaaaaaaay better, and battery is even better

I have bootloader unlocked and root. Do I need to relock bootloader in order to use this method?

I was on L29C636B221 with rooted and TWRP. I used the Firmware Finder app to download L29C636B521 and update it to Nougat. It updated fine. I wanted to do a factory reset so I did. Half way through, reset was failed, but the phone was able to boot in. Now, it has no Gboard (sideloaded it fine) and the Build Number is NRD90M test-keys. Everything else work fine.
Any suggestion? should I dload it back to L29C636B221?

I can't get it to work.Here is a video of what I did start to finish.
https://youtu.be/T1A825NI2wQ
I tried the 2 560 and the 520 ones using the firmware finder and proxy add-on. The update doesn't start downloading until you switch off the local host proxy setting. Once it is complete and it reboots to update it fails at 1% and I reboot back to my 320 firmware.
I have l29c185b320 firmware currently.

Has anybody received the OTA update to Nougat EMUI 5?

If you have received the EMUI 5 OTA what Country, model, build reference (BTV-W09 or BTV-DL09)?

Still waiting !!!

B306

My US 32GB wifi version still got nothing

This was only the build number. The complete version number is like BTV-DL09-C100B303.

Germany, LTE version, BTV-DL09C100B303 received OTA on July 19 ... it was a long wait :good:

I received my new U S m3 model about 2 weeks ago. As soon as I went online it offered the new nougat update. I updated and everything works fine.

Also it started to install some apps I did not had so far (deezer, news republic etc) automatically. Removed them and all is fine.

As I said, before that I used the same version (dont know the custome version) but installed via huawai firmware updater

Thanks. What is interesting for me is that you have the same custom version. Because i read somewhere else that this custc100d002 version won't get an update. Ok, your update path seams to be not standard but there is still hope that i will get an update also...

My device also has version CUSTC100D002. Like I posted above, got it OTA.

I'm in germany and have no OTA Update until now.

Hello to everybody. I bought my M3 with LTE a month or two ago from Amazon DE however I live in Bulgaria(I use UK local settings for the tablet). I'm still at BTV-DL09C100B009 with which it came and I'm not getting any OTA updates. I keep it without SIM because my two cards are in my mobile phone and I don't need one for the tablet in everyday usage. I only use data-only SIM with it when I travel.
Anyway I moved one of my SIM's from my phone to the tablet in the hopes I would get the update and then return it back but still nothing. I even installed the latest HiSuite but even there it says I'm on the latest official build. Am I missing something? Why am I not getting the official update and is there a way to install it manually(FirmwareFinder perhaps? and how to differentiate it from the previous file with the same version)? Also from what version did you receive your updates when they came?
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,

Yeah, though keep in mind that your phone is an A2017, not A2017V. It should say A2017 on the back.
You can install EU or US firmware but you need to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and modify some EU or US flashable zips. Basically you have to get the NHLOS.bin from an official A2017 update and put it in the G or U flashable zip.
Keep in mind that MiFavor 5 is much better (for me at least) than stock G or U firmware, which are MiFavor 4.2. MF5 is only for the A2017, and while some people think it's sort of a cheap design and stuff, it IS better than 4.2 (you get quick settings tiles for example, instead of the crappy zte implementation). I advice you to try it first before even unlocking. Just find the official update package 'A2017V2.0.0B13' or just MiFavor 5 B13.

I don't know, I absolutely despise Chrome
For me Firefox Nightly with Dark Background and Light Text plugin is perfect

Yes we all had this issue and other issues related to Google Play Services and its coordinate apps not working correctly and not syncing also crashing a lot and and we finally found the solution.
Disable Google service it prompts you that it will return to factory version and accept it and then enable again and update Google Services again from Play Store.

That's neither official nor for the A2017 :laugh: If you unlocked your phone and flashed that you would lose your IMEI.
Go to Updates and see if it detects any OTA. If it doesn't I can search for an update package for you

I found a package if the OTA system doesn't work
http://devicedownload.zte.com.cn/support/product/201606031040/sd/20171009174830988.zip
Download that file and unzip it. There will be a file called "update.zip" and maybe a pdf inside. Take the update.zip and put it in the root of the internal storage. Then go to settings -> Updates, and it should detect it. Install it

I uploaded the "update.zip" from your link, but my phone does not seem to find it (not in the internal memory, not in the SD card.) The phone is not rooted nor unlocked.
Right now I have this:

Just install that OTA. After it installs, go there again and you will either receive another OTA or the phone will find the update.zip
I thought you weren't receiving any OTAs, but it seems that they still work on the A2017s
Maybe your phone can't detect it because you are on a very old version. That's Marshmallow right?

I' ve installed the available OTA, then a new one came in and then a new one and etc. Now I'm with V2.0.0B13 and I am very pleased! Thanks for the feedback guys!

Not having 4g doesn't mean useless
I have the int'l version anyways so I can't say anything
