Hi,
tl;dr: Is there a download link available for the WW_V21.40.1220.1698 official firmware?
Details:
I have a ZE600KL and this official page says Marshmallow is released for it.
I have unlocked bootloader and currently stock recovery and ROM, that I've flashed myself by downloading from the official support page (1.16.40.1523_20160426). I've been checking for updates from Settings>About>System Update for a while, to no success. I used to have a root but flashing the 1.16 seems to have removed it. And if I flash TWRP and reboot to recovery, it asks me whether it should leave the system partition untouched. So this makes me think I should be able to receive the OTA, normally. And yet, as I said, no such luck.
I've seen some ROMs that mention they require MM firmware for ZE600KL, such as this one. Again, this makes me thing some people out there must have received the 21.40 update (or any Marshmallow update) for their ZE600KL. I've been searching the internet but I didn't find this firmware anywhere. If somebody knows a link or if by some enormous kindness somebody uploads this, I'd be really grateful.
Thank you in advance to anyone who replies
Edit: I came across this link but I haven't yet been able to verify if it works, will update after I try:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE600KL/UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.1698-user.zip
Second Edit: The zip in the link flashes and boots. I'm sorry to have created a thread and then manage to solve it on my own later, but hopefully this might be helpful to other ZE600KL owners in the future.
Recently when I was searching for Android N update on ZTE axon 7 I found this site: a9droid.com/zte-axon-7-android-nougat-7-0-update . Android N is main reason I haven't bought axon yet so I'm really interested in installing it, but this website seems very suspicious. Is it even possible to install stock Android(that's what I suppose they do) on ZTE phone?
Words of advice: If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Please be careful when browsing through questionable websites and do not believe everything to read. Stick to XDA-Developers.com and you should be fine.
That site is utterly untrustworthy. It doesn't give any info on how to update (hint: that's because there is no nougat update yet), tells you how complicated it is and how you need tech-savvy friends or a repair shop to do it for you and then says "if all of that is too complicated for you, there's this magic apk from our website "that will transform your device into latest Android Nougat interface". Best case scenario: they're writing a bunch of bull**** in order to get traffic to their website. Worst case scenario: that apk has malware instead of just Google's launcher.
Okey. So are there any news about the official update? Axon is advertised as first daydream ready phobe and android N is part of phone being daydream ready...
ZTE haven't released a Nougat rom yet so why would some random site have it?
Just got an update on the Chinese Axon 7, B10. Still 6.0.1...

The german ZTE website today stated that the phone would receive Nougat before the end of the year. That's all I know about this so far.
Just for the purpose of tracking the rolling out process in the north America region, let's try collecting some date information when you receive the rollout. The process of this upgrade could become a helpful guideline for future upgrade events in the region! Models L04 and L14 might be involved. Let's also comment on your state, wireless service provider, if you are in the beta group and when you got the phone to see if anything is correlated. Please take a minute to fill out the form:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you!
Now, on the official Honor_USA social account, https://twitter.com/Honor_USA, N is coming on Feb 11th. Period.
Update: from Rox_honor, it's officially released on Feb 10th in the US. Some people have had this update already.
To force the update, you can check the method posted on Page 2, #16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70992090&postcount=16.
Reserve for updating statistics, if possible. Again, the Google Spreadsheet to fill out is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to add more columns if you think they are helpful.
So far it seems that only T-Mobile users are getting the update. Just tried to update my Mom's phone, we are on Cricket (AT&T) and there was no update for her. Tried putting it on airplane and restarting but still nothing. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

There is one entry reporting received the update while on Straight Talk. We need to have more data in order to figure out the rollout sequence. GOOD LUCK!
i purchased the Unlocked Honor 8 from US (amazon). But I'm an indian user and I'm using it with an indian carrier . will i get the update as the other north american devices or do i have to wait longer
Did not get the update (FRD - L04)
But I forgot whether or not the L04 is international or US (i live in the US though)
yeah i havent gotten it either still says no updates available
I haven't received the update either on L04. I read on the other thread that it rolls out in small batches.
Edit: Here's the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70964112&postcount=392
Nothing on L04 AT&T yet. Purchased from NewEgg and first activated in December.
Got it 3 weeks ago. L04 from b&h.
Bought it unlocked at Frys a week ago and received the update yesterday. I just want to caution all rooted and unlocked users! I received the update yesterday and upgraded it like a fool. I cant get into twrp recovery and the stock recovery seems to be broken. I even installed a newer twrp thru fastboot but im still not able to go into recovery. Im looking through all the forums but no one seems to have this problems yet. Im still waiting on some help if anyone has a solution. So please be aware before updating. Hopefully Im the only one with this problem.

Ahh, I was an idiot and had the same thing.
What happened is that I was rooted, and installed via Charles app, and it bugged out.
The reason for that is that TWRP can't install the stock ROM.
You need to get into fastboot, and reflash the stock recovery, and use it to dload the emui 4.1 file. Make sure you get the full package version.
After that it will be all wiped. You might run into a few errors but let the recovery do its thing.
You'll eventually be able to boot into the OS and then run the update normally.
I want to root my honor 8 on nougat, but I'm waiting for a patch from Huawei first because of all the bugs, just because of this.
Also I don't think rooting the honour 8 on nougat works that we'll yet, hopefully someone comes up with a method that doesn't suck so hard.
Hopefully they'll do it quickly.
Do you mind pointing me to the right direction to find those files? stock recovery and the 4.1.
Ive seen the rollback files... is that what you're talking about?

I used the firmware finder tool for it. You can get it for Windows. It's somewhere around the forum, but you can probably Google it.
Once you get the full package you can extract the recovery.img from it.
Unlocked FRD-L04 bought from Amazon. Living in Argentina. Got update yesterday. Really happy with it.
Folks, if you are impatient, you can use the Firmware Finder to send the Firmware B360 (I am using the Jan 3 one) to your Updater for a full package update. More information can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/news-huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3550882
A few notes here from my personal experience:
1. Once you set up the proxy from the Finder's proxy app which should be downloaded after you enabled the "send firmware to updater" (check notification afterward), you then click on the latest firmware # and "send firmware to updater".
2. On the Setting/Updater, click the menu and use "Download full update package", which should direct you to a 2.27Gb package (not the 1.28Gb package, or you will not be able to login!) and click on the "Quick update" button. You may need to wait for a while to see this option. Up to now, you may not be able to download anything yet.
3. Go back to the wifi setting and turn on proxy setting to "None" again and reconnect with the wifi network. Now you should pause the Updater and then resume it. You should now be able to download the full package and install it.
4. After all the update process, it could be helpful to charge your phone without the screen turning on. This is told to be useful to optimize the battery performance immediately after the update. The phone might be slow in a couple of hours as optimizations are going on in the background. But everything will become normal afterward
Good luck!
bought L04 from newegg using it in Pakistan no update for me as of yet
This is all bulls*it. Same update we got in january, and by the way, it's buggy.
L04 here, bought from Amazon about a month ago. Running on T-Mobile US. Still no update yet.
Is there any way to change the white notification background? I prefer the old color scheme, Mich easier on the eyes at night.

Edit: Received update on US single SIM L04 on Straight Talk, ATT towers.
Hi all, I'm a US user with W09 and would like to get it to Nougat - I have read the entire "Update to EMUI 5.0" thread and there appeared to be several possible routes, but most were regarding the European version.
I have a US Wi-Fi model and have no allegiance in keeping it a US one, if there's a way to remove the regional aspect to gain access to the update (BETA or otherwise).
I would greatly appreciate if someone who has some experience with or is very confident of the correct path would shed some light for me.
Thank you!
Have you tried update via Firmware Finder? Witch firmware version do you have now?

I've just finished reading the entire thread linked above that mentions that method a number of times, so I'm certainly familiar with it, but haven't tried it because sprinkled throughout that thread are plenty of issues encountered. Also, there's no mention of US hardware/firmware specific instructions.
I'm on W09 as mentioned in the OP - thanks for the reply!
Install Firmware Finder from Playstore and post a screenshot with firmwares that appear there.

I'm away from my tablet at the moment but will do later on when I get home.
We will see after that what we can do. I have updated my tablet to Nougat, but I have BTV-DL09 (4G European version).
To change region I think you have to unlock bootloader.

Here's what's in firmware finder @33adi
What's the advantage to switching from US to EU roms? I unlocked, rooted, enabled 5ghz band for wifi, and now only need nougurt but much like the original poster not sure the best route.

The advantage of removing the US stock rom is that the European one has a beta available that is very stable. My thread is seeking someone who's confident of the steps to 1st going European & 2nd installing nougat once there, as there was some debate of complexity to doing even that.
I've been through exactly what you are wanting to do @dutchdoggs54 . Unfortunately I can't tell you step by step how I got to where I'm at.
I was on W09128BXXX out of the box . Read the topic that you have linked in your first post and decided to do it using firmware finder to force the update to Nougat as they described. It actually went very well and Nougat worked great with the exception of Bluetooth not working.
I have to say during the upgrade when it booted into recovery and it was TWRP I was concerned. Believe it had an error but it worked and replaced TWRP as I recall with a stock recovery.
So after all that I decided I wanted my tablet branded as a BTV-W09C100B006. Below is the topic where a member thought they bricked their tablet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/how-to/bricked-m3-btv-w09-t3612699
They were given directions to download the Full update package for the version I just mentioned.
This member got their tablet working again and in the process found that 5Ghz wifi is enabled on C100B006 by default.
That was the main reason I rooted my tablet.
I followed the directions knowing I force install a different version of Nougat from your link.
Downloaded the full version software and dropped it in the dload folder on my US tablet and did the upgrade.
Tablet rebooted and shortly after it rebooted again going to recovery (I tried may times to boot). Don't recall the error but after I unlocked my bootloader again it reset the tablet and I was able to access it again. I did relock the bootloader so I can see updates without any problems after that.
In the end I got what I was after. My tablet shows as a BTV-W09C100B006 and can check for updates.
5Ghz wifi is enabled by default. As I said I relocked the bootloader so I'm not rooted. Overall it's works so well I'll wait for Nougat to get released and then do the official upgrade. After the scare of booting to recovery it was worth every nervous minute of it.
Try to talk to OP from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/...-root-t3374068
Maybe he can make this app available to Mediapad M3, then changing OEMINFO will be easy.
I posted a question there.
No luck
Ok, so I tried following @Samavb's great instructions and guidance in the other thread last night. Made it all the way to the point where he says to install 009 from the Huawei website - got it downloaded and loaded up on the tablet only to find that it wouldn't install because the 009 file on the website is BTV-DL09 not the BTV-W09 version a US tablet would need.
So I got frustrated and tried installing the B301 build that appeared on firmware finder when I was on the W09-006 build...this was nougat and was cool but no keyboard and the play store wouldn't install anything, so I was forced to revert back to 006.
So, long story short, hours of work have confirmed that there doesn't appear to be a way to get a US tablet to fully functional Nougat at the moment. If there was a 009 or 010 build like Samavb mentions for the US model, maybe it would work, but those aren't anywhere to be found - firmware finder, russian site he mentions or otherwise.
So, I'll happily sit on 006 and wait for a US OTA update. That is unless anyone can tell me exactly how to make this US model into a European model.
Same boat as original poster. US w09 on build c128b003. Firmware finder just finds the same version. Anyone know when there might be a us version update released. I thought it was supposed to be may so have been waiting patiently.....but may is over.

In Firmware Finder select the menu in the top left corner. (3 bars)
Right below your model number, select change model and enter BTV-W09C100 and then search.
You should see B301 and it's a full OTA. However, as I understand it this is just a beta/test release.
Only issue I had with it, bluetooth didn't work. Seeing as how I don't use it, didn't bother me.
I highly recommend you fall back to the other topic about forcing the upgrade to Nougat.
Only difference from my tablet and yours. I was on C128B002. I had already rooted and couldn't get that update.
Also US 64gb version here and hoping for an update to Nougat and EM5. Would love to see it!
Huawei have been quite attentive for updates in other markets which is great. Too bad the non-LTE version in US doesn't get the same love.
Buying this tablet was a roll of the dice for me, banking on the hope that Huawei would be attentive to software updates (for all markets) and custom ROMs could serve as back up/enjoyment. This tablet has solid hardware and with another launcher it is decent.
Sadly, my experiment to try out a non-Nexus device without the latest (or close to pure) Android version is coming to an end. The last M3 sold on Swappa went for around $300.

Too anyone in this thread, I want to install the latest version available in Firmware Finder.
When I select download, I get 3 file choices. Which should I pick to download then what are the steps to update? Please point me to the best post to reference as there are a few.

from what i gather. if you're going from MM to Nougat, you need to install the Full OTA. for that, there are 2 files, you will need both of them. from there, i'm not sure.
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
Gert
Solved through firmware finder app on the play store, updated via proxy.
