Final Marshmallow thread (for noobs and non-hackers with non-modified devices)

It looks like after hundred years of wait the final version of Marshmallow is here
But the thread about it have already flooded with hackers and people who root and are in general very advanced users.
Most people of us here have not rooted or touched the boot loader, all the problem we might see in the other thread might be because of the reason
that they have modified the phone in different ways.
so lets discuss of this update work for us who have non-modifed devices ? And let
keep all advanced "root" and hacking talk please. Especially since that in its own might confuse people
cause modified devices might cause problems that we do not get for people who have had patience
to not modified there devices or install any Beta versions of android.
It is not much information at this point about what versions that it is compatible with
but it can be downloaded here
http://www.huaweiblog.de/android/mar...fiziell-final/
I think we are all eager to install this device but there is not much info
we simply need more people to try and confirm what works and not
I think most people in this thread will be on lollipop b331
So it would be nice if people could try and confirm if it works from this version
will all data be wiped ?
You need to do full backup ?
Let us know what problem you get into.
For more advanced rooting and hacking talking use the other thread
this thread is for people with non experience of that

I myself am on B513 and tried updating to the final marshmallow build yesterday and it did not work, i tried both methods of updating, using the dialer method would not even recognize there was an update on my sd card, the power button and volume up and down method started and got to about 5% and then failed. This was all also done on a clean Mate 7, no root or anything and I even reset and wiped the device before trying the update. Either I'm doing something wrong in the update process or this update does not work on B513. Any help would be great in figuring this update out!

So are you on B331 or B513?

B331

From what i have gathered, we may have a problem with the 'cust'. Aparently the verion that's around only works with C432 and some of us have C900 (you can easily check this in 'about phone/build number'. I hope someone with more knowledge can guide us

bug on B522
Hello everyone I have noticed a bug under Marshmallow, some applications like facebook or twitter messenger does not run in the background and suddenly I not receive notifications if they are closed ( the same thing with B513 ) .
All the parameters are good , apps are "protected" and have all the permissions to do it ( run in background ) : it comes from Marshmallow or must wait for updated applications concerned ?
Second question , twice I managed to see integrated into the " phone " application during a call , the keys to Register the call or forward ... it lasted only 5/10 seconds and I unable to remember what I hit to make them appear .. you have an idea ?
Thank you (you and google translate )

we all know that huawei is the most incompetent out of all android oem's, but i dont think they're such idiots to release final version software with such restrictions to who can install it. the update demands too specific conditions to succeed.. i am on c900b331 and im sick of waiting. guys, even 4 years old nexus 4 works WAY better, more smooth and stable than mate 7. i guess we're just used to how it works but since few days im using iphone se and... i think i couldnt go back to huawei. this thing barely works compared to iphone.. still got the mate7, and nexus 4 and waiting to test out final marshmallow.
my concern is this whole b522 is not a stable final yet.

So far everything is running pretty smooth, updated from c900b513 to c900b522 and works great so far, only noticeable thing is the new health app and all but one theme is deleted, but they can easily be downloaded and added again if you want them, ram management is far better, I'll see how battery is tomorrow

Where is the Nougat update for L29C636?

So i am now starting to get extremely frustrated with Huaweis support teams and the lack of information on here. I have been waiting for a nougat update since the betas last December came out and still nothing. I watch every device model of the mate8 get this update except the model i have listed in the title. Even the L09C636... so where the update for the dual sim L29? and why are there basically no useful threads for it?
I have tried unlocking the bootloader to install the last beta build i have downloaded because it wont install with the official update app. The emui site that is listed all over the mate8 forum keeps telling me that i have not been signed into my huawei ID for more then 14 days when in reality, it has been for almost 2 months now. Im tired of waiting and once again huaweis support is useless in this respect even though they have a whole official page dedicated to unlocking the bootloader.
So I am here with a last ditch effort to finally enjoy this phone. I really want to keep it becasue its had the best battery life on any phone ive tested of late, and its super fast and snappy. Im just picky on software updates becasue like most of you. I like to be as up to date as possible.
Please if you have any info or sites that can help me out with this issue put something in the comments, it would be greatly appreciated.
also im in canada if that has anything to do with my problems, because this is the Asian model of the device.

Same problem. Always waiting for Nougat...

It wasn't working perfectly at all, I only just installed the nougat update yesterday by the Huawei firmware finder app and proxy. The page for the official firmware thread on here hasn't been updated yet to show the new b521 build, it's still on the b321 and below with dead links.
But I digress I found what I was looking for finally even if jumping through hoops to get it and being the last device model to do so.
I'm just happy to finally be running nougat

i feel equally frustrated as well. Have been waiting for so long while other variants already got the update. Finally can't wait any longer and install the B521 via the firmware finder as well.

Yeah C636 is lagging behind big time all the time.

Hi there
It's so outrageous that we don't have Nougat for C636.
Someone should post a message in twitter or social media on Huawei's pages... Maybe the Singapore one as the C636 is the Asian model.
Though there are a couple of Nougat betas... We still don't have a stable version and we are way past Q1 2017 which was when Huawei said the Mate 8 would be updated...

I'm still on NXT L29C636B193...
I haven't done anything to it manually...
I've been worried there was chance I may break something... I've heard someone with L29 C636 upgrade manually to Nougat and then do a factory reset only to break it... And then be forced to root it... I want to continue using banking apps so I haven't risked it yet....
Hopefully I'll be updated via OTA to Nougat... Since I'm becoming a little restless...
Also have you manually updated at all? I've been on B193 since day one with no updates...

U can update your phone by firmware finder app ...

lucky you!
yes i updated manually from B180 to B320 and B320 to B560 and just now i'm updating from B560 to B580 by using system update (its my first time!!!) in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l29c185b580-frimware-t3595441
also before mate 8, i had sony and samsungs phone and updated manually a lot
but yes! its so risky.

I just upgraded via firmware finder to l29c636b585. Went smoothly.

Cannot find update Huawei P8

Hello everybody
I have a Huawei P8 (GRA-L09) with EMUI 4.0.1 on it. A friend of me has the exact same phone but in black, and he has already the 4.0.3 update. Which is for example eye-comfort what I really find useful. Update-management and HiSuite can't find any updates. Is there a way to get the update anyway? Note: I have bought him refurbished with Android 6.0, and when I boot, I see the logo of Vodaphone. How can I update my phone?
Thank you!

The most likely reason you're not getting past 4.0.1 is because your phone is network-branded - by Vodafone in your case.
So, unless you debrand your phone (example here) to enable you to safely install the latest non-branded update(s) manually, you'll have to wait for Vodafone to release newer updates.
Can you tell us the full 'Build number' in Settings > About phone (in this format or similar: GRA-L09CxxxBxxx). Also, which country you bought the phone from?

Thanks for your reaction! I don't have experience with that sort of things so I'm not going to try that. Thanks anyway for the idea. My buildnumber is GRA-L09C02B397. I've bought the phone on greenmobile.nl, so I think he's from the Netherlands.

No problem, I was not recommending to try it, but only mentioned it so you'll understand the difference, & that it is possible.
Anyway, I think you're in luck, as Vodafone have released a EMUI 4.0.3 update, which you can get from here (view the screenshot posted by djg269 in post #3): [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B403 posted by member Kris van Kooten

Hi
Thanks for your link! Now I've one more question. If I update the phone mannually, does the warranty become invalid?

I've no idea, as these things differ from one company to another.
As you'll be applying an official network update, it shouldn't be a problem, but if in doubt ask greenmobile.

I have the same problem kindly help me
The problem.is same but my model no is GRA-LO9C02B191.It is not detecting any update what should i do?

1st hint
Go settings > update > menu > download last full update. It is possible that hidden update will show.
2nd hint:
Download B200 official update, transfer on SD card and update manually. Then all updates shall be possible to do.
3rd hint:
Make debranding as in tutorial and then install on B170 a B200 update as in hint 2. Somwhere near B380 it will be required to make as in hint 1 to get B520 (newest one)

Some questions about p8's updates and roms

Hey guys
for some time i will be using a huawei p8 lite, i unlocked bootloder, rooted it with magisk and wanted to flash some rom - for example lineage as i see it's quite stable and available (and of course i want android 7 )
it's my first time with huawei and i must say i dont understand one thing. my phone's firmware is b584 (ALE-21C09B584), its double sim.
i have emui 4.0.3 so i wanted to upgrade to be able to install lineage os(which needs 4.1)
so i enter the "updater" in settings and try to do it, but it says that there are no available updates... before checking xda i thought its just the newest firmware but when i saw that there are new coming out every month or so....
i was looking at huawei's site but the only fw i can find are from 2015, lol
why cant i install it? does it mean that i cant have emui 4.1 on my phone? where does huawei post all these updates? can i find them on their site?
i got the "Firmware finder" app and it does find some updates, newest is B586 - but when i check in app if its available for my device - it says its not... the previous one is mine - B584
can i install this b586? does it contain emui 4.1? is it safe to install update which is not "confirmed" for my phone?
next one, should i install OTA or full OTA? (coming from b584)
if i cant install it or get 4.1, can i flash persona's mod over it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mod-c432b612emuipersona78-t3689367
there a link to C432B632 in this thread, won't it brick my phone?
im a little afraid to install it(it's a borrowed phone and i got permission to do what i want, but not to brick it )
do i have to make a full backup? it says that no data will be deleted
i had a nexus 5 before and everything was really more simple with that phone x.x with huawei it seems all messed up, why do they make updates if users cant install it?
thanks in advance for replies and help
EDIT: lol i though its going to be shorter, so
TL;DR - i want to get EMUI 4.1 to be able to install lineage os, im now on B584, cant update it via settings, "firmware finder" app says that b586 is not "confirmed" for my device
what to do?

Go to the playstore and download firmware finder, you don't need to download anything else, the app will send the update to the phone updater.
