I have an Honor 7X and it has caused me incredible amount of stress and waste of time trying to get Oreo. I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
I had been trying to use the software updater to check for Oreo for months and it always said I had the latest software - which isn't true. I also used Hi Suite to no avail. I just registered my phone with Huawei and it updated. I am not sure if your third phone is unregistered, but make an account with them and check. I wasted so much time, bricked my phone, paid for DC Unlocker, tried to flash Oreo stock etc... finally I have it the legitimate way.
Now, the next thing I would like to do is install an Oreo custom rom - but I am not paying more money to DC Unlocker. If anyone wants me account details for the DC Unlock to recover their bricked phone, I have 2 days left and will provide info.

1. You can use hurupdater and download full ota of oreo and flash it
2. You can use firmware finder app and have it update through dns and whatnot

Also my BL locked honor 7x has the ancient version B101 !! Thats the version which it comes with.
Tried several things and didn't managed it to update to oreo (Firmware FInder with DNS & Proxy, Factory reset, ...)
Your approach sound promising.
Did you register the phone on www.hihonor.com ?
When you register the phone, did you wait some time before checking for system update again?

Thanks for your suggestions!
I am also stuck @ B101 version since ages (12/2017).
1. hurupdater just works if BL is unlocked. I have no BL unlock and also will leave it as it is
2. This approach does'nt either! Have tested DNS & VPN method, the device is seeing the update but always states "Update Package error" (just from mind, did'nt remind me of the correct message)
Have tested this with several packages where FF always states that it is approved.
So the OPs approach seems maybe an solution/workaround.
The update was immediate after I registered. However, I have thought about the process I took.
I tried several times using various methods of updating to oreo... and finally I bricked the phone.
I then downloaded DC Unlocker and paid to unbrick the phone and tried to flash official stock rom for Oreo. It didn't work.
I then flashed official stock raught rom and the phone unbricked. I made an account with huawei and registered the phone. Immediately the update for oreo popped up.
My thoughts - either I was using a modified rom which the vendor installed and this prevented an update to oreo, or I just needed to register.
My advice - try registering an account with huawei and if you don't get an update, try flashing official stock rom with no modifications. Also make sure the stock rom is designed for your particular phone - I learnt the hard way and bricked the phone. But in the end, many hours later and 18 euros later I have Oreo.
Yes it true, Android Pie should be available soon - but I believe if you can't get Android 8, it's unlikely the phone will update to 9.
Huawei has made it very difficult for people with their restriction on unlocking bootloader - very very disappointed. My main phone is Huawei P20 Pro and I am very happy with it, but the Honor 7x is a potentially amazing phone... just disappointed with a few things. I would have kept the Honor 7x if the camera was a bit better and would have no problem in paying a bit more.
Best wishes guys. I still have access to DC Unlocker if anyone wants it - think it has a day left.

DC Unlocker can potentially unlock the BL but I didn't pay for that. Yet anyway.
I paid for 3 days access to the software, and I have 1 day left. If you find that after registering your phone it does not update to oreo, and you want use it to flash official stock rom for your phone, let me know. I have 1 day left of using the software.

I would suggest flashing stock rom first - what is your firmware? I am on BND-AL10
I am on BND-L21 modell and fiormware is BND-L21C432B101, its stock, never done anything regarding firmware (because it dont work .

I don't have a lot of time right now as I am heading out...
But download the exact stock Naught rom for you phone - very very important. Don't try Oreo as it won't work. The file should be an official version without any modifications.
I used this website: http://huawei-firmware.com/phone-list/huawei-honor-7x
Also, make sure it is the full OTA (should be about 1.65GB). The file is a zip. You will need to extract the update.app file from the zip.
The DC Unlocker software uses the update.app file from the zip.
Once you have download both the DC Unlocker and official stock rom as outlined above, connect your phone in fastboot mode and flash the update.app to the phone. You will then have the official stock rom. By the way, please back everything up on your phone - I would suggest to a computer.
Then register the phone with the Huawei with your ID and Oreo should download. I will PM you the login details for my DC Unlocker account. I can tell you now - it won't unlock the bootloader, I don't have enough credits for it. I just bought enough to unbrick the phone.
Finally, I can't take responsibility for anything - I am just telling you what I did when 1) I couldn't update to Oreo, 2) I had my phone bricked, and 3) I now have Oreo.
I hope it helps you and anyone else facing this issue.

To be honest, I don't know which one would be suitable for your phone. I made my guess based on the fact that you have a BND-L21 model. Also I was looking out for "FullOTA-MF" rom and also one which I think is Naught.
These are the main factors which I took into account which got my phone unbricked and using the official stock rom rather than a custom one which the vendor modified before I bought it. I have doubled checked, you have about 23 hours with the DC Unlocker to play around...
By the way, you extract the update file from the zip, that is the only file you'll need from the zip

Tested right before replacing my N7 (v1)...
After upgrading to latest API4 "Green Battery" Update...
Confirmed:
- Unable to Odin Sprint "Root" Firmware...
- Unable to downgrade to APGC...
Result...
No root & stuck with API4... (Not bricked)
so... in other words... IF you want root... stay with APGC and simply wait for an API4 ROM... (with APGC bootloader)
Get the new phone... and DO NOT update...

The API4 update is available to V1 phones. I took it, knowing I'd be getting a new phone in a couple of days.
As I understand it, they'll make you take it one way or the other.
i can confirm do not update your v2 note 7 to the new firmware. you cannot downgrade and they have blocked the sprint userdebug firmware from even flashing.
if you want to keep root. don't do it.
wht are the chances that the update comes straight from the box..
It does bro....i got mines today and it automatically started down loading...i just asked this question to @jovy23 in another thread
Yep, mine installed right out of the box. what a bunch of a-holes. wifes did the same thing, no root now welp, perhaps its time to return it and buy a different phone. this is retarded.

as long as the phones don't come preinstalled then it's fine.
Well... I just updated to API4 intentionally, to try out the new update on my v1 device. I gotta say it's much more snappier now and lag is completely gone after it fully boots everything. But it's still not worth losing root over. So I'm either gonna get a refund or buy the international version, better yet might just say goodbye to sammy all together.
I don't know why anyone is still surprised about non-Nexus devices being locked down. Sure, a device might get root access, but it's the OEMs job to fix it in future builds because it's an exploit that needs to be fixed.
My update downloaded but I disabled, anyone know where the update file is? What folder? I can't find it.
the update ran as soon as it connected to their wifi network to set up the phone. crap, can't root now.

Same here, it downloads on its own but it can be postponed up to 3 times before it automatically installs the update, so what do I have to disable so the update won't install, or where can i find the update and delete that sob? Any info would be much appreciated as I don't have access to a computer to root or have the time at this very moment.

You can go into settings and turn off auto updates, or download package disabler from the play store and disable the 2 software updates lines. I still have a v1 phone and no update here because of that

Ive updated my Nova CAN-L11 (not rooted) two days ago to Nougat (B340) and i didnt have any issue until now. Themes app is working without any problems.
Ive encountered 2-3 slowdowns, but Chrome might have been the issue as i had too many tabs opened.
Battery backup seems same. But it seems that there is more free ram. Also it seems that the Z-RAM is gone (if i remember properly, ive seen Z-RAM on MM at Android OS memory usage).
Ive upgraded mainly because i wanted to test as well and because i like more the notification panel. However, i think i would stick with MM for two reasons:
- it works just fine
- Xposed (usually i use only XPrivacy though)

Honestly, i feel a bit like i wanna rollback But im not sure if i will do it.
Did you try to rollback and failed? I read in the downgrading thread that some people has succesfully downgraded with the help of a TWRP backup.
Recently i read that reinstalling stock firmware relock the bootloader, so basically the phone still has warranty. If this is the case, ill root it right away as i cant bear it anymore without root
I should have rooted my Nova when i was on MM to take a backup with TWRP.

Not to be rude, but I posted to find another method other than funky Huawei. Even with the fact that it's just $30 for 5 updates is way more than I would ever spend for something I've done for free. I plan to have this phone for years, and I'm pretty sure there'll be more than just 5 updates in a year (there's been 3 in the 2 months I've owned the device already).

Do you need to do any extra steps on the Mate 9 Pro? Is not having an external sd card in our phones a problem?
Currently considering rebranding to C636, since that versions seems to get updates fastest.

I don't need an OTG cable or anything. Just download the files and put them into the correct folder. Launch the program, and then follow the instructions? No need to change any settings.
I think the instructions in the thread are a bit confusing..

Did you use FF ?
Did you use the OTA-MF or the FullOTA-MF?
Last time I tried for my C636 (B182) I wasn't authorised!

Tried again. I just kept getting that incremental stuff where it keeps wanting to download another patch.
So. I cleared the folder specified in FF, rebooted the phone and then it kept saying the connection was unstable.
So, I uninstalled FF Proxy and then reset the connection. File downloaded. Phone rebooted and said it couldn't verify the file and now.....
"Your device has failed verification" on boot up. It will work if I press the power button, but something is clearly wrong. It suggests I use 'ERecover' which states it will download the most recent build over Wifi.
Balls. Will give it a try - but I fear I've bricked the bloody thing!

Ah. Thanks for that. That's how you get around that problem!
Onto the new problem - "Your device has failed verification." Huawei's own solution failed. I presume it only works in Asia or China. It appears to want you to use 'ERecover' and wifi*not fully booted phone) to download a system image. Doesn't work. (Funky Huawei use this method, but they change your DNS so presumably ERecover points at their servers for a fee.)
Apparently factory reset doesn't work either and I didn't wanna start from scratch again.
I Googled about and this does seem a relatively common issue and someone else got the issue on a Huawei Mate 9 (not pro) doing the same thing. The OTA updates can cause this, he flashed an older firmware. I tried to flash the older firmwares, two of which got 'not authenticated' messages. So, going for broke, I had a go at installing the newest B182 firmware FULL again through FF. By some miracle - it worked and fixed the "Your device has failed verification." issue as well!!
Phew. So managed to get B182 on L29C636. :victory:
Only weird thing I got was Google Drive didn't want to work post installation(kept saying no network connection) - so I deleted all data from Google Play and this started working again.
Now that I know the critical point in using FF - "Download latest full package" as stated above. This shouldn't be such a ballache.
Can anyone confirm the benefit of converting the C636(Asian) to the European version- C432?
I recently brought 2 Le Pro 3's off Amazon. One was 5 days ago and another was 1 months ago. I did not do a system update on them and they are both still 18s. This week, I've been trying to do a system update through the setting, and they both say that my system is up to date at 18s. I've tried several times for the past 5 days and maybe even earlier with no luck. Has Le Eco shut down their operations to the point that we will no longer get OTA updates?

In my case I have been trying for the past three days and it says I'm up to date when that is not true, so I can confirm that the US OTA is dead for now.
If I do factory reset and follow the setup screens, after logging in my Google account, it prompts you to link your G-account with LeEco, but if you click that option it says server error or something like that.
So LeEco account login server is also down (assuming it is 2 different servers), not looking very good right.

Is there any way to root the phone without doing the updates? I tried to manually update with a 21s OTA file, but that failed. I read that they are incremental, but I'm not certain. I can't find a 19s OTA file anywhere to try to manually update. There are some 20s OTA files out there, but 19s is the missing link. There was a rootkit for 18s, but it seems to depend on a server from the creator, and he has taken that down.

You should have no problem unlocking the bootloader. Don't worry.
Abandonment Issues
I thought I'd chime in for good measure. I think LeEco is in some sort of tail spin with servers being abandoned and such. I managed to snag the 19S update from mega share. This thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/5-8-019s-update-t3497745, with this link https://mega.nz/#!AV9hzBQT.
You need a decryption key:
!PphAg9_Swd_-oqkZ553s3RnusQaNiNVKXy48801UCPA
Another user posted their Google Drive link https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B5EW4DgAMR8IMTJLdnNnZUNDUjg&export=download. Slower but just in case.
I dare say that coolmaster121 may have saved me. Maybe some of us too. I'm installing this update as I write, and it at the point of "Optimizing apps", so looks good. Hope this helps some people, hoping to get LineageOS up and running too.
I've also got 20S and 21S from other sources. I'm uploading them all to mega again just for redundancy. I'll update with links.
Update
So, it looks like the only way to get things to work is to have 19S and follow this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/x727-model-persistent-bootloader-unlock-t3500388. It might not work off the back so go through the posts. Users bulls4ever and Gytole seem to have the most useful replies. I went as far as getting into TWRP without bricking anything despite willy nilly commands out of desperation.
Here's a second copy of the update 19S:
https://mega.nz/#!dDQG1Rpb!Es9vUXdpzJnZVTIFq0UY4_FEfl6DiOdEAoEVcyXeCuA
For those people who just want eUI updated, here are 20S and 21S. I know that I bricked an LG Optimus 2X back in the day cause they [LG] wouldn't update from 2.3.4:
https://mega.nz/#!1CAXEJ5J!HXfhV6DF8gbuqrUSO9mLzGDaJUDxJzX703hYyMeawKQ
https://mega.nz/#!9aZmnAqD!75W7jruxQtQZHi0DSXQC1PRjKUbMXmHGJfRCped8Bww
Last but not least, I wanted to mention that I got LineageOS running, all in all took about 2.5 hours from frustration to satisfaction. :laugh:

Can anyone confirm the status of the US OTA servers? I think they have been down for at least 2 weeks.
It is extremely unfair for new customers, I agree that the phone is heavily discounted, but it is advertised as having US warranty, you can call me out for being negative but you have to admit, the OTA servers being done are not a good indicator.

I think they are done.
They may still be able to provide warranty service if they can keep on paying the claims processing company but it's not looking good.
All the links on their website are down (An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later. ). Looks like this is the end.
What kind of risk am I actually assuming by using my unrooted Pro3 being the last security patch is Jan 2017?
No

Yes i did, using MHA-AL00 and MHA-AL00C00 and none of them work. I can download the files but when i chec firmware access it says "not approved for installation". I wrote to the chinese support because of the HICare where you can see the quote of 20.000 but its always 0/20.000 i have tried every hour, hoping it will be reset and the quote will return to 20.000/20000 but nothing. Its a fake in my eyes. I guess they want to wait a few weeks/month before they release Oreo for the Mate 9 because to be honest, if Oreao would be available already for the Mate 9, there is no reason to buy the Mate 10, specially for those who have the MHA.AL00.

You'll have to install using HWOTA. Just flashing in TWRP won't do anything.

Bootloader will lock when you've finished installing, so no need to relock manually.

It shows quota full for me. I have a L29 rebranded to AL00. How's the update situation for you guys.

That's right, using Hi Care, couldn't be easier. I was a little upset because the context menu did not work but it was just because it had been reset to the default launcher. I use NOVA because i love to touch any app and a menu opens offering me: uninstall, remove, setup etc. That was the mayor reason to change to Nougat because i really loved Marshmallow. But now everything works fine, Gmail etc. I am happy. My wife is upset because she has the Samsung S8 and they will not release an update to OREO until it comes with the S9. I would never again buy me a Samsung mobile.
My google Play store did not work anymore, uninstall the one you have and use this one
