Have you guys seen this post on their official FB page? I want to try it myself but I'm on lineage rn.
I can't see it's for p8 anywhere. What makes you think it will work?
oh man, i almost got heart attack, how did you find out its gonna be for P8? it was stated for serveral times that P8 hardware is not compatible with API of Android 7, why are people still looking for it? just accept the fact people! Cheers!
In thought it's just for skin EMUI and not the Android version. All is well though, thanks for clarifying ppl.

You bought the best tablet offered by Huawei at this moment.
Congrats on your new purchase.
You are in the right place. Ask anything, Share anything you like.
Many nice people on this site.
Whenever you have any issue with your tablet, please mention the full firmware version, tablet model. It will be easy for others to help you and answer your questions.
I have BTV-DL09 (LTE version , European ROM). My firmware is BTV-DL09C100B301. I just posted this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72048190&postcount=8 in another thread. You can have a look at the screenshots of Android nougat on my tablet.
Enjoy & you will have more fun when you update to Nougat.(whenever you are ready)
Stock ROM is very stable on this tablet.

Day 2 with the mediapad 3 and I am still having fun.
I am not sure what you mean by "full firmware version". I have Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) + Huawei Emotion UI 4.1. Is that what you mean? What benefit is there in updating to Nougat. I am a person who gets set in his way. I fought windows 10 as long as I could.

When I said full firmware version, I meant this -> BTV-DL09C100B301 (my firmware version)
BTV-DL09 is LTE version (supports sim) , BTV-W09 (WIFI only version) So full firmware version prevents ambiguity and unnecessary problems. The reason I told you is because there is BTV-DL09C233BXX and there is one more version which I don't remember at this moment. Each one is different because it specifies region. So if you have C100BXX and if you flash C233BXX on top of that. Then it might cause problems. So when you provide full firmware version, it makes it easier for others to help. Besides C233 has rooted version firmware available. So to know if you are one of those lucky people too you need to give full firmware version. To find full firmware version you check in Settings -> About .
Benefits of Nougat? It is beautiful, faster, smoother, even better battery life. I have posted screenshots of my tablet running nougat, that can give you a better idea. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72048190&postcount=8 By the way Windows 10 v1703 Creators update is really good! Fast boot speed, games are smooth, performance is really good. Edge is really good too. Cortana is soothing & enjoyable as always. I like it and totally recommend everyone who haven't used it. Both Nougat on Huawei Mediapad M3 & Windows 10 creators update too.
Hope you find this information useful.
Lot of effort goes in to typing my posts. Please don't forget to click on :good::good::good::good::good:::good::good::good::good: in my posts.
Thanks again
When I checked settings I find "Build number BTV-W09C128B003 " Is that also the "firmware version"?
How do I upgrade to Nougat? Seriously, could I run into problems doing this? With windows especially I kept hearing people complain of problems with upgrades. Things seem to be running well now and this is already the fastest tablet I have ever had by far!!!!! By the way I have Windows 10 now because older computer died and I had to get a new one with 10. Kind of like it.
Hey, everyone,
I just bought a new Mate 9 Lite [BLL-L23] and would like some help with how to make it my own. I am familiar with other devices - but, not the BLL-L23.
I am very appreciative, my friends! Here's what I'd like to know:
1. Does anyone know when we'll get Android Oreo (or, at the least, Android Nougat)?
-- I am currently running 6.0; EMUI 4.1.
2. Is there an official support forum for the BLL-L23?
3. Does anyone know how to root the BLL-L23 using Magisk or Chainfire (which is better)?
4. Is there a recent TWRP recovery available?
5. What else should I do to take full advantage of my device?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING, EVERYONE!

1. I guess that it would be some months after update of Mate 9 / Mate 9 Pro, but in worst case Huawei can forget about this model...
2. Did not find anything useful
3-4. You can use knowledge of Honor 6x: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x
Specifications are close to be same.
5. It is better to change device. Mate 9 has lower community versus Samsung's S8 community, but Mate 9 Lite has lowest...

Strogino, I really hope that Huawei wouldn't forget about this model - because, it's not even a year old, and many people (including Android Authority) say that Huawei is a great company with great branded phones.
I heard that there is a beta program for the Mate 9 Lite... Do you know anything about this?
Also, I know that it's obvious that Samsung S8's community is much bigger due to the popularity of the company; however, I'm sure that many people are also fans of Huawei. The Mate 9 Lite actually is a pretty decent phone for the budget!

Can you help me, i have the same device
Hello guys,
Im pretty new here, so I will apoligize if there is already a Thread for my question.
I got a Huawei P8 Lite (ALE-21) with Android 5 EMUI 3.1.
I wanna upgrade this phone to Android 6 EMUI 4.0 version, but not the latest version with the latest security patches (2017).
So im looking for a version from 2016, but I have no idea which update.app or recovery.img I need to download. I tried several updates, but no luck.
Can one of you give me a link for a good version from 2016?
Thanks in advance and sorry of this question is already asked for like a thousand time :crying:
Best Regards

You clearly don't understand that when we get emui 8 it's going to be Android Oreo. Otherwise we would still be on emui 5.0.1 just with emui 8 stuff ported over. smh come on please understand

Actually the fact that we will get emui 8 is confirmed by Honor once again and this time there is a thread in xda. Note that Huawei could well make a special version of emui 8 that runs on nougat. Xiaomi has been doing this with their phones as well

You can't base off of another phone company SMH. Honor has never does that and I highly doubt they ever will. Don't base what another company is doing to try to justify what u say, when again honor has never does that.
Someone still doesn't understand that EMUI 8.0 COULD run without Android 8.0. Beside the fact that usually Huawei/Honor doesn't give their devices an emui update without os update, this time has been said a lot of times that Honor 8 will get EMUI 8.0 features PORTED. Now, with that news we're still unsure if will update to EMUI 8. 0(optimized for nougat) or EMUI 8.0 + Android 8.0 (wich i'm hoping to)

I would much rather have emui 8 using nougat without bugs than one using oreo with a ton of them though. I am however currently at a custom ROM and I will change back only if it has oreo.

sigh....... it seems that @damenbm is a true believer and wont even consider that honor/huawei might screw over its customers. regardless of treblized Oreo release..... some great devs will more than like hack together a treble rom for this phone. till then, lets just wait.

I know I know I understand what your saying, but honor has never done that so it's highly highly unlikely, and highly likely that they just bring us oero.

You still don't understand that it's not emui 8 if they don't bring Oreo. There just bringing some features over that's not emui 8. That is something completely different. Smh

In fact i wrote it "EMUI 8 Feature Ported" wich means not new emui itself. However, the image clearly let us understand that the new skin will come. Now if it is with or withou Oreo only God knows.
As useful as discussing the angel's sex. Can be a port to Nougat or a full fledged update (Skin+OS). Speculation won't change that: as consumers we're either scammed or supported.

Hi there,
Thinking for going through the pain again of rooting and flashing a rom since EMUI4 is driving me nuts.
So apparently, no stock Android available to us unfortunately, no Cyanogen, no nothing.
Only some kiddy looking kang kang thing that seems a bit too DIY for me.
My phone is not a toy, it's a work tool. Cant live with EMUI 4.0 any longer (see my other post) and not interested in installing these alternative oesses.
I see EMUI 5 lives out there and is perhaps a light of hope from my perspective.
Meanwhile
The post about downgrade to EMUI 4.0 is gathering more hits than the upgrade thread itself.
Let me know if you have yourself installed successfully EMUI 5.0 through TWRP or else.
Any official OTA of EMUI 5.0 announced by Huawei at all?
Not sure about OTA uodate but u shud definitely try firmware finder for Huawei
