Do you think i'll have to wait a long time ?
I lives in north africa.
Thanks.

Same here in Greece.. I'm also still waiting for MM.. Currently at PLK-L01C432B180.. No OTA, no nothing..

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!

P8 Lite 2017 OTA problem?

Hello,
I know, this is a Honor 8 lite forum but I did not found my device, this is why I'm here.
I have one question only, does my device support ota? Or anyone knows this as a problem?
My build number is: pra-lx1c900b004
I know this is the global model, but with firmware finder too, I can not find an update, and it's only displays 2 old ones, but I can't download them.
I have another pra phone, it is a p9 lite 2017, european model: pra-lx1c432b162
This phone got 2 ota updates before.
So is my device will ever get ota? I did looked up a lot of models like all la1 versions and all of them had some updates before. I'm a bit worried because I will want to upgrade to android 8.0 if that will happen.
This is my first post so if it's bad, I'm sorry.
Waiting for an answer

This looks like international model. From Honor 8 experince this models don't receiving OTA updates or very occasionally. Where you buy phone?

I bought it from AliExpress, official Huawei store with some reviews,(all 5) my phone has honor logo on it but it has p8 lite 2017 software, interesting. The description said that it support ota but I haven't got connection to the themes in themes app too and I think there is a server connection problem but this is just speculation.. So maybe I can get ota it's just rare?

Rommco05 said:
This must be some mistake, phone have Honor logo and how u know software is for p8 lite 2017? Can you post here or somewhere screenshot from Settings > About phone?

I know it, because when it boots up i get the Huawei logo, not the Honor what I want.. Is there a way to change the build number? Here is the screenshot: It says I cant upload..

So the latest thing what happened, I just that silly that I did not sat down. Now I tried to install another official rom but a p10 lite. Yes I know I was that dumb. On bootup I have the basic android logo and everything works except my sim card, volume, vibrate motor, play services and update menu. (Update failed at 99%)Now I have emui 5.1 on my Honor 8 Lite which came to me with p8 lite 2017 software... My build number now is I know that this is bad, but: NRD90M test keys. Model number: generic_a15
Is there anything that I could to to my phone to work?

No, I don't have updater,

Oh but I did forgot: I have connection to the server, I know because the themes app works!

Rommco05 said:

Yes, from firmware finder, was-lx1c10b170.
Yes it's Honor, yes it is PRA but I don't really know that. The p8 lite 2017 system was pra-lx1c900b004, that is worked with the phone, but I can't download it from firmware finder, so I tried do download c432 cause you know it's the european. I have it on my sd card inside the dload folder, but the install just fails at 5% sadly..

Try to use Firmware Finder proxy. Go to settings in FF and enable option > Use proxy for install. After select firmware which u want install tap > Get update trought proxy and follow instruction on screen. If will be update unsuccessful try another several fw

55$ for what FW?

yes FW install tool etc from FunkyHuawei

I can see new fw update b172 has any one tried it?

Couldn't we rebrand to AL00 using HWOTA method, then flash the update from FF? That said, what are the major differences with the AL00? I know typically Chinese ROMs are missing some things like Google Play ...

You rebrand to AL00 and flash the oreo update with hwota too. But remember that oreo is still beta. If you wanna root you can use twrp from mate 9 or honor 9.
Another user bricked his device while testing with flashing images with fastboot.
So take care.

That depends on what variant you have, the official Oreo is out for the AL00, C636, and C432 regions, it's not out for the rest of us yet. You can rebrand to a C432 variant and install the European version (C432), or one of the others. Otherwise you'll have to wait on the official version to come out for your region

I am in Europe (Greece) L29 C432 B198 and Oreo is not available yet..........

What is use FF?
Btw.. I noticed that.. After upgraded my mate 9 to oreo through OTA... There's something missing.
1: Vulkan api no longer supported.
Performance issues.
1: 3D mark scores with Oreo are worse than Nougat.
2: 2k and 4k downloaded videos and movies, lagging and stuttering while playing.. Especially with 60fps ( idk.. Perhaps 3rd app not optimised for oreo)
And i didn't face any of this problem with Nougat.
Btw.. I love the EMUI 8..

There isn't an Oreo update on FF for C432 or C636

You should have added a model (MHA-L29) in FF. Usually you will find your model in parentheses; MHA-L29 8.0.0.361 (C636), for example. You'd better check firmware access before any updating or downgrading.

Yes, after upgraded to emui8, i found my mate 9 is terribly hang and lots of the apps crashed or spent more than 3mins just for ran it.
The interface is nice but the phone is too slow or taken too much of time to load.

Had the same and was steadily getting worse. Had emails not displaying, apps not opening etc.... Few days ago i wiped data and factory reset and so far its blisteringly fast once more and zero issues. Probably worth doing that for you.

Thanks, I wonder why they changed the naming convention.

My OTA update came in yesterday. Several important (to me) apps stopped working. I need to go back.
I'm not experienced with Huawei methods, so I need some pretty specific instructions to go back on US version. If anyone can point me to that it would be appreciated.
I am tempted to wipe and reload apps, but I have so much setup to do with that, I hate to take that time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the two main apps I want working and they just won't work.

Huawei Mate 9 series gets EMUI 9 Final

None here yet. Are you sure that's not an update for the beta?
EDIT: nevermind, found it in Firmware Finder. Now to figure out how to circumvent the beta and force an upgrade.
EDIT 2: follow this tutorial to the letter and you'll get the update through HiSuite: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78850439&postcount=1325
But make sure to download the version from the post, I had a newer one that refused to work.
EDIT 3: aw sweet, they fixed the bug with gestures and 3rd party launchers!
