Another update but still no oreo - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

i got another monthly upadte but not oreo..

so, the way out is.. waiting with patience?!

My guess is they're going to directly update to 8.1 and skip 8.0 as it's less buggy. It wouldn't have taken this long?

Yes is just a security patch anyway can you check in the settings if know you're on 1 October or 5 October security patch?

Maybe it's a prerequisite for the Oreo Update. I had the OnePlus X before this one which got a small update like this for better support of marshmallow.

I have received this Massive Update
1GB +
Just fingers Crossed for Oreo

anyone of you guys were rooted before this update?

930U Android Security Patch Level

I just flashed the unlocked 930U ROM on my Verizon S7. I notice that the Android Security Level is all the way back to May. Is there any way to force an update of this?
Go to Korea and kidnap the team responsible for updating that rom. Then, force them to build a rom with the newest security patch. Easy as pie...

LMAO no no no I meant to catch up to whatever the newest is. Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I thought that the security updates were pushed out separate from the actual ROM update itself.

They haven't had any so no way to get them.
May is the latest patch date for the 930u. I've been checking daily for an update. I even have the Samsung Smart Switch app installed on my PC looking for the updates for the phone. I'm not sure if the updates are going to come OTA or if they will be a PC download only. It would be nice to get one!

I just did my daily update check and a 180mb update downloaded and is installing now. Nothing exciting in the changelog. Improved stability of the Dial??? Security updates, etc.
The update size is 163.86MB for me

Just updated myself. I remember I had a system update pop up a few months ago that immediately disappeared and no matter what I tried it wouldn't come back. I was already on the August update, though. But, it's good to see SOME sort of update.
Interesting. I received an update yesterday for my Comcast (Verizon) S8+, but they didn't even bother to update the security patch as it's still on October's. Is it that much of a bother to include an updated security patch?
If thats the u2qk2 becareful with the update, they reported that fast charge has issues unless you dont care about that
after updating to this build i cannot downgrade anymore ,all odin i try fail.

Appeared in FF. Need wait 2-3 weeks when Huawei will approve it to all.
Looks like normal update. Has adequate changelog with many translations. Has 3 files.

Always use full-ota update (around 2gb). And there's no update with April Security patch yet. The one with March security patch hasn't rolled out officially too.
The April patch is on FF but neither that or march are approved yet
There also a newer build, b368.
And I don't think it's approved yet.
Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 using XDA Labs
Received via OTA last Monday (4/16) with my rebranded mate 9. Worked like a charm.
Updated to MHA-L29C636B368 using HWOTA8 without issue.
I think there are some optimizations included in B366.[Optimization] not like in B368 [Security]
B368 is officially out.
Also, there is b371 on firmware finder, which has face unlock feature.

Actually, thats what i said. 368 is already out.
The one that I mention on FF is b371, which has face unlock feature. So you don't need Magisk Module anymore to use face unlock feature.
But, still gonna have to wait until it approved or release via ota.
Btw, mine got 2 patch which explained the big size as i still on b362. Too busy to update.

Mha-l29 8.0.0.372

So the 372 has appeared on FF, & all it has is the June security patch.
The good news is that 371 with Face Unlock & may security patch will be approved anytime now

Interesting....370 is the only one showing up for me (L29C567B370) (8.0.0.370)
Shows 2018.06.04 release. 372 doesn't show up.
Oh well...few days it will show approved. I'm starting to see a quicker turnaround
March showed up late April, April showed up first week of May, May showed up
about the 2rd week of May for me.

Got MHA-L29.8.0.0.396 yesterday OTA............ May security update
I am still on .366. what gives
I got the May version, about mid-May, so I'm guessing in the next week or two, the June one should hit.
Using it now with Firefly kernel. Everything works well and is very smooth.
I hope Huawei continues to update the phone to 8.1 and even 9.

Maybe not as much if there are tutorials on how to use what you said to upgrade, and also allow us to use Huawei's camera app which is the main reasons why many of us bought the phone.
How are you guys updating?

I use firmware finder, once it shows approved, I check the use proxy,
then, go to the wireless setting of your phone, bring up the list of wireless
connections you have, HOLD down the one you are connected to, to bring
up the settings, set the proxy for manual, set the hosts to localhost, the
proxy to 8080.
SAVE it, then go to the built in software update app under settings in the phone
and download the update.

Is it working that way, to sum all the updates to one OTA update if you missed one or more updates ?

From what I saw, yes. The users that skip an update get a much larger ota update later than what a regularly updated user would get.

yah, i got that (224.0 MB) previously im on oct security patch v9.6.14.0
and after the patch i got v9.6.16.0
nothing noticed what have change in real
just security patch i think
Well, this should be true November update then, with some fixes, patches and changes in the system.
@twentyfourinc , the security patch updates are about 100mb, everything above has some changes for phone itself.
I just got v9.6.16 after the update, I think it's just the November security patch, mine was 300mb, but I was on June security patch before
The security patch updates are about 100mb is correct...

Same here, but now the "About Phone" menu has moved up to the initial settings page, above all other settings. Wondering If It was intentional, feels weird having It there
