Wait, so that wasn't a hardware issue? Wow :silly:. I can't believe it took them so long to patch it.

I knew it wasn't a hardware issue this whole time. That's what they wanted you to beileve. I remember a long time ago another user was mentioning that his AR has been fixed with an update and that's when I knew that it was software related.

Cause i got it through ota that's mean huawei has approved the update,so it should pass through firmware finder.
And someone confirm above if you have noticed
Well, no. One of the 4pda ppl got this OTA (185/172) week ago, while FF was still throwing auth error.

So maybe try it now and report back?
Now it's going thru for all the ppl with c185 yes. But still relation between ota-rollout and ff-signing is not proven.

They roll out a batch first for few handset like a test,if everything ok they roll it for everyone.
My phone is not included in the first batch so when i receive an ota means it's for everyone, that's what usually happen.
That sounds plausible! But still - why i did not get 172 (and any other before that) via ota? Only via ff? Wrong sim? Wrong ip? What?

Imported phone?
Most the problem is the sim card.
Yes, imported. Yes, 'wrong' sim for the region. But one guy still got OTA regardless of the sim he had in ('wrong' one too).

It's easy but need someone with gd networking skills.
some guy called hw support and received a chilling answer. if you requested your bootloader unlock code - your imei is out of ota base (but not out of warranty until you actually root). that's what he said.

Why cannot we get new OTA on C185?
The latest version is B580 for C185, whereas the other networks got new OTA over than B580 such as B596

Hi
NXT-L09C636B596
And today we got B582 after months.
Every body on C185 can get B582 by firmware finder.

Mha-l29c636b366

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.

Oreo for Honor 8 is an one-off
No further updates appear on FF. b412 is the September 2018 update for EMUI 5, and by now there should have been an update for October in the works.
Maybe that's the end of the line. Oh well.

I guess you need to wait for b562 to become approved (by IMEI). Then updating via HiSuite should work.
