Just a FYI for those who always want the latest build/security patch as soon as is possible. I'm back on stock and I just updated to B375.
How? Same as always. Using Firmware Finder via the proxy method.
It has just dawned on me that since I purchased this device nearly 2 years ago, not once have I had an OTA. I would literally still be on B103 if not for this forum and then later with the use of the FF app!

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.
Hey
I'm using my Huawei p8 premium (GRA-UL10) for two years now. Last year I upgraded to marshmallow, but not via OTA, I downloaded the update from Huawei's site. Few days ago I read an article about April 1 security patch for my device, I downloaded the update from the site (not the official site), installed it and now everything is running smoothly plus some tweaks.
The p8 gets update every month, but not via OTA, does it should be that way or something is wrong?
may be its gone from server
ota is experimental if users give good it remain
and if faces issues it will removes
what is your current rom version
no man nothing wrong ota is unofficial
Hi.
I have a UK P9 Lite and I want to know when will I receive the OTA for Android N. At the moment I am on B131.
I want to root ASAP and try to enable OTG but first I thought 'wait for N' but it is taking a long time to show up.
Thanks.
Ota update yesterday is come for C185 I think it come for everyone very soon
l21c432. i got OTA B370 few days ago (Poland).
1. Otg doesn't work
2.Ota is released a few weeks back.
In Romania the OTA was launched for one month. The update is offered by IMEI number of the phone automatically by Huawei's server. Is not a standard procedure to acces early this update but you can use Firmware Finder app from Google Play and can uodate manually to Nougat.
Does OTG work on N with a custom kernel?
I got a push notification last night. But I found it's not for Oreo & EMUI 8.0. It's for Build B596.
So now, my system software version is still EMUI 5.0.1 + Android 7.0. :crying:
What about yours?
I still have my 8, but I switched to the 9 around October last year. I power the 8 up once a day to check it.
Completely stock, not rooted, international version, B185, still on 7.0, 5.01, no updates. Firmware finder
shows a few updates, but when I check with the IMEI number, says not authorized.
If it hits, I don't really look for it until April, since they are too busy with the release of the 10, and any bugs
associated with that, will get priority.
Hello, this is my first post here and I have an observation of sorts about the new upgrade.
Last night I noticed that EMUI 8.0 had downloaded on my wife's phone and was ready to be installed, so I installed it. It was actually a fairly quick process, unlike on my Galaxy S8+ (which coincidentally received the update earlier the same day) which took quite some time to upgrade Android then update all the apps...etc.
Anyway, after the update, suddenly the SD card was reported as being defective and cannot be read. Then I tried to add some music to the phone's internal memory, and I couldn't connect to it from my laptop via USB using Hi-Suite. It just didn't see the phone, and yes the cable is good, I checked it. I had to make the transfer using Bluetooth. The music app itself kept crashing several times, and the whole phone just feels unstable after the upgrade.
If anyone has any comments or suggestions, they would be quite welcome.
What emui 8? They started rolling it out? P10 just got the update I don't think we'll get it anytime soon

Dear,
Best thing to do after upgrade/ update is to format your mobile.

Hello.
So I got the pie ota about a week ago but I didn't update. It was available for a few days but now it is gone.
I'm still on October 5 version.
Phone is all stock - locked bootloader.
Anyone with the same issue? Was that supposed to be the official global rollout so everyone has it now?
Tried some googling but I can't find any similar reports.
Probably removed, had a lot of bugs. Dont worry
