Yes, I too got the update yesterday. Before applying this, I thought to check in forums to get a feedback. But, could find anywhere about this update. So, went ahead and applied. It has been just a day. So far, I do not see any improvement or change.
When I was on B340, I faced high battery drain during idle period. Even after this update, I see similar trend.

Must be a rogue app. I haven't faced this in both builds.
The major change i found after this update is in camera.....a new option of moving picture has been added ?

you can do with out doing unlocking the boot-loader , use the rollback package to EMUI 4.1 and then update to latest EMUI 5.0 , this is safest method and still you will get warranty when you stuck at middle.:fingers-crossed:

But with locked bootloader, can i flash custom roms like RR, Carbon etc and roll back to EMUI if i feel like coming back...
Is there any particular procedure for FRD-LO2 to unlock bootloader or is it same as other models..

I have a factory unlocked g3 d855(32 gb).I wanted to update to marshmallow, so I've done some searching, and people reported a lot of bugs. They also mentioned bug fixes to some of the problems, but it doesnt feel worth it. Can anyone who has experienced the official marshmallow update please advise? Is it worth the update?
Thanks in advance
Its really worth it, trust me.
And if you don't like it, you can always downgrade.
Yes it is definitely worth it. There are some bugs but the improvements over lollipop outweigh them for sure!
I would say not for the moment
I have 2 phones both with 30b stock firmware, wi-fi is driving me nuts, once the screen is off, wi-fi is off, also wi-fi disconnects randomly when using the phone; new graphics and menu are nice, but wi-fi problems are a major bust (I have tried a major of tips and tricks for this problem but still no solution)
I will try the new 30n stock firmware and see if it fixes the issue, if not, I am back on lollipop
Hey man can you tell me how to downgrade from 6.0 to 5.1

Well, no luck there
I downloaded, unzipped, stuck it in the dload folder, rebooted with the up/down volume. It's like it did
with the firmware finder app also, gets to 5% and fails. Sounds like I'll have to wait until the built in
app says it is available...again.
I'll keep the link though, perhaps one day it will work properly.

Your bootloader is locked, right? I ask it because I wonder if there is an order to install these differents files, and I wonder if it will be easier to install it via TWRP. I looked the content of the small file and I'm not sure what it is.

Could be...Yes, I'm pretty sure the bootloader is locked. There is an option in developer options to allow it to be unlocked, but
it pops up a security warning, so I don't know if it will work or if it will hose something else.
I guess the "official" 580 will hit my phone one of these days soon.

You can see the difference with Huawei extractor in the screenshots below.
These are the files:
DTS.img
MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img
PRODUCT.img
RECOVERY2.img
SYSTEM.img
VENDOR.img
They are missing in OTA file.
"Huawei made changes in the installation process of the firmware. Now the firmware before installation passes the procedure of online checking. If you receive an "authentication failure" when installing the firmware, then at this time it is not possible to install this firmware on this unit, you need to wait. For the most stubborn:We did not find a way to bypass this test yet.. You need to wait until your imei is listed for this firmware, or make it "available to all"

Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.
https://w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=719987
This is what i found in network for B580:
Status: Official (beta)
Version: NRD90M
EMUI: 5.0
"Disclaimer: This update is in beta stage which means that it may carry bugs that can have an impact on the usability of the device. Moreover, since this is a multifile update, you may encounter errors if you try installing this with the stock recovery."

Looks to be a minor update, but at least they're still thinking about us
States EMUI version 5.0.1
Android version 7.0
Android security patch level August 5, 2017
So far, the main change I have noticed is the addition of a "Moving Picture" mode to the camera app, which is similar to the Live Photos you would find on iOS.
Also, it seems they have added an automatic video creation "Highlights" feature to the Gallery app, utilizing Quik video editor. Not sure if this was already included in previous versions.

Got this update notification on my FRD-L14 2 days ago and for some reason it keeps failing to install with error "failed to verify update package" i was initially rooted and had Magisk 14.0 installed. But i've reverted to stock recovery and boot image which i flashed using fastboot commands.. Can anyone help with the above or better still piont me in the thread on how to create a TWRP package so i can flash it.
I've even gone as far as flashing system.img from my backup B385 UPDATE.APP but still no luck.
I am using a FRD-L14 and currently on stock EMUI 7.0.

U have stock recovery and boot right? Flash the recovery and boot image of B385 and then from recovery factory reset ur phone. After that try and see if u can update ur device. Also if u wish to lock ur bootloader then hit download latest full package.

Well I got the phone about a week ago and just activated my new tmo sim card last night to get cell service on it so I'm probably not the best judge of whether any performance changes occurred. Based on the change log I wasn't expecting much though.
FYI I'm still completely stock, locked bootloader for now if that made any difference in the delivery of the update.

Thanks for the explanation. This is the route I had to take. I have FRD-L04. I was on B385 with TWRP and Magisk 14.0. Unrooting and flashing boot.img and recovery.img from 385 did not help to install the new update. I keep getting the same error of Package failed. No matter what I seemed to try nothing worked.
So, this sucks, but, I factory reset. Then RE-locked bootloader. Then, I had to download *latest full package* otherwise I still received same error. But, now I am on B388 and i'm going to try flashing TWRP and installing Magisk now.
Live photos seems interesting. Pretty excited about that.
Question to anyone who got the update, any changes in battery life?
Any one tried the new updates ? they are available in Firmware finder .I think they are with latest security patch and also they mentioned :: "This update optimizes power consumption and improves system security with Google security patches" .

You should always flash new updates using Huawei suite for PC as it always works. Make sure to flash stock Boot and Recovery if rooted before proceeding.

Once you get the notification for system update on your phone, it will automatically be available on Hisuite.
Make sure to back up user data before flashing any update as you may need to manually perform a factory reset before using the new update. I own an FRD-L14 US version and i am on the latest update for my model thanks to Huawei Pc suite. All other methods always fail after 5 - 10%.
To update using Hisuite, simply launch the PC software and click on update after properly connecting your phone. I have been referring to only the PC version as i can't vouch for the phone software.
NB: Don't forget to flash stock boot and recovery if you've modified your device prior to using Hisuite otherwise it'll fail after reboot to recovery.
Best of luck, Cheers!

thanks for awesome guide i will definetly try this:good::highfive:
You will get the OTA some weeks later. Until then, you will not be able to flash the update through any official means (like using HiSuite, TWRP, erecovery, etc.). If your bootloader is unlocked, try my "Flashing unapproved Firmwares" guide for Honor 8 in Guides section. It will work flawlessly.
Did anyone already successfully manage to install e.g FRD-L19C432B399 ?
I tried dload, Red_lotus and flashing with FRD_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img
Yet it always tells me "installation failed" Is there anything i can do to get it work?
I am coming from B398 and need this battery optimization update or I will sell my phone..

i took the day to reply because i wanted to play it safe before i tell you how battery life is.
i've been getting 12+ hour battery life on my usual days, if i'm out and about doing things i last 10ish hours.
the update seems to be a little better on the battery side, but november patches are nice as well.

Nice to hear about it. For 12h you mean global usage or screen time? Anyway I sent my phone for battery replacement. We'll see when it comes back

sorry about the late reply, but yes 12hr battery global. for screen on time i get 4-5hrs usually, i just got this phone a few months ago as a FRD-L04. i rebranded because of how slow updates come out on the L04, which was my real only complaint with this phone. battery life is awesome and emui is sleek and nice compared to other OEM android roms.
i don't really care for much about SOT because my whole goal is to minimize that as much as possible. i use a moto 360 daily so most of my notifications are going to my watch and my phone stays in my pocket.
other than that, this update is just a security patch.
Received this update today
yep 9.6.13 went public
Any changelog available ?
Also got it. But mine is 100MB bigger. How can I install it now the most easy way? My A2 is unlocked and rooted with Magisk. Only modifications are AdAway App hostfile and IOS Emoji Module in Magisk. I couldn't get it updated when the first Sept update hit.
Well, I got a big problem here. I received the update and downloaded the 442.1 mb update. But after downloading it shows 'installation failed'. I haven't rooted or unlocked my bootloader. Any ideas?

About the size... maybe a cumulative update with the previous one ?
Probably the same reason why it was not possible to apply the previous update : I think a rooted A2 will not be able to get OTA update.
For me, it's the main reason why I don't want to root it

If it is the same device, why are the update package sizes different? That's kinda odd.

Depends most likely from which version you are upgrading. Some are on August, some are on the previous September version
Got it! Must have been some minor bugs on the first and second try.

That could be it. I didn't get the previous September update.
Let me guess max cpu frequency bug from fingerprint not fixed
Installation problem, **** it.
We already have a thread about the september update https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/september-update-t3838695

I would guess they pulled the update because of "green picture" bug with HDR . I got the first September update and had that bug. Made quick test on new September update and can't reproduce it.
I have updated it for about 2 hours. It seems the battery life is much better now. At least it didn't drop in the last 2 hours. I'll check it again later.

You can by following instructions here, it worked for me
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
This will only work if you didn't make any modifications to /system, even mounting it writable will make it fail
I think adaway won't cause issues but only if you enabled the option "Systemless hosts" in Magisk settings
If it fails, get system.img from the august patch, flash it to your active slot and try again

Baseband version of mine is also 660_GEN_PACK-1.164129.0.164270.1. It seems that the battery drain comes again. After idle for 1 hours, it dropped 2%. But it seems not as fast as before.
