Not getting any security patch update after january!

Hi,
I bought my 6p a month ago. I received updates till january on the same day i booted the device and then i received the february update but because i had to go out i did not install it then. After i came home, there was no option to update and since then i am stuck on january patch level and it shows 'device up to date' in system update.
Please help! I do not want to do it manually. Is there any way?

If you are not willing to do it manually, there's not a lot more you can do.

If i do it Manually then will the next updates come to me normally? Or will i have to do these updates manually from now on?

If you stay stock after manually sideloading, and stock recovery, you can accept future OTA'S with no problems.

Could you guide me how to do that? Or maybe give me a link for it? I am new to it.

*update*
I got the security patch update automatically working two days of creating this thread. I guess they sent it to me as the April patch update was coming ( i may be wrong).

Another update but still no oreo

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?

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

I hope so... Thx for the info! :good:

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.

everything doing good.. flashed then wiped cache only.. no hang or battery drains

371 with Face Unlock & may security patch is not aproved .

.368 with face unlock and May security patches

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.

It should come as an automatic OTA or you can manually check for update in the settings>System update. I had to manually check for it but the OTA was live within a few minutes of the Pixel's update announcement on Mon.

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!

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
