The honor European team normally does beta testing of new software releases, but I do not know what their plans are for honor 5X. I suggest visiting Hihonor.com and it will redirect you to the page for your region the latest info.

I have the L21 variant and we still haven't got the b140 update.... Are we being left behind? Well we get the update??

I checked hihonor.com , signed up, but no info about beta testing program.... I will try to talk with a european honor representant. If you can help me with this I will appreciate.
Thanks again

Server is busy is what I keep getting

I just left a comment in the thread saying that I will test the beta. We will see if I hear back. Thanks wimbet.

No problems here logging in and left comments. See if they send me the invites.

I filled out the registration form with all info, input the correct captcha (pop up even says it's correct) check the i am ove 13 box and press register and a small red pop-up says system error, then the captcha disappears and resets. Tried it a dozen time with chrome and a few times with MS Edge browser, no go.
Not really a big deal though, already looking at getting a nexus 5x. Love the dual sim of this phone but the UI is crap and the community is small. Looking at other Huawei communities on XDA leads me to believe that it's not going to be much different here. A phone with essentially 1 developer isn't for me. Passing it off to my kids.
On the brightside, the fingerpint scanner on this phone is great and I don't think I can ever buy another phone without one.

Your Huawei ID is registered on the other site, and can’t log in. Please register a new Huawei ID on the current site.
Ok
I have the exact same problem. The "hint" makes no sense... Can't login with your email, and you can't register your email on the registration screen because it's already taken by you... argh!

I'm not really into the visor look of the 6p. My HTC M9 had plenty of power and was nice but I have grown to love the fingerprint scanner (shouldn't be a surprise though since I owned the Moto Atrix 4g which was the first phone with a fingerprint scanner back in 2011). I actually use my phone for ........... well, phone calls so i'm not always looking for the latest and greatest. I loved my Nexus 4 and the nexus 5 was nice too, so I'm absolutely positive I'll be happy with the nexus 5x.
Actually, pulled the trigger on the Nexus 5x ($50 off for the next week or so) about 10 minutes after the post on here asking me to "try another browser or post a screen shot of the error message" while trying to register. There are dozens of posts on here of people not being able to successfully complete the requirements to receive an unlock code for their bootloader, so the registration issue really shouldn't be a surprise. One thing I know about the Nexus devices is that there will always be developer support and google's websites generally just work.
The Honor 5x is a way better phone than it's $200 price would lead people to believe, I'm just not a fan of EMUI or the slight lag that seems to plague the touch interface (kills glyph hacking in ingress ). Also, I find that CM is great, but it's always been a bit more of a battery hog on the dozen or so devices I've used it on over the years than stock or nearly stock AOSP. It's way too early to make that judgement about CM for the Honor 5x, but it's not too early to see that on XDA the Huawei forums are very limited with little to no development and marginal support from the manufacturer.
Add it all up and the 32gb Nexus 5X at $349 ($50 off) seems like a good deal.

Mha-al00c00b172

My research tells me that there's a new build for the Chinese version: MHA-AL00C00B172.
I don't yet know if it's to be a public or an internal beta, nor do I know the change log. I do know that there's something different about it from previous updates, but not yet sure what. It might be EMUI 5.1, but I can't confirm that yet. Hopefully I will know more soon. Details coming as soon as I can find them.
Edit: Seems to be a closed beta

Bummer. I was hoping for a completely new update that fixes the notification issues and few other minor issues.

Well, I'm getting pretty close to being able to enable installation of closed betas. Here's a full list of Mate9 closed betas (Haven't found anything outside of MHA-AL00 yet though)

Indeed. So I don't think they keep accurate changelogs for betas. The build date is 2017-02-17 so it's definitely newer than the changelog would indicate.

Yup, the 10X camera was a couple updates ago. I was hoping for the update to Nougat 7.1 for AL00. For some reason I thought it was coming out in Feb.... Better not hold my breath on that one!

I'm happy to announce the results of my work, in the form of changelogs for upcoming versions. To install the beta versions, it would still be necessary to use something like FunkyHuawei to distribute them, as they are not offline install files.
As for making the actual method of finding the beta versions public, though, I considered it, but decided not to, because I don't want Huawei to close the loophole.

Definitely an old changelog, 10x zooming is not a new function but I can't remember with which ROM it was introduced. Current ROM in China is B167
Does anybody know how to join the beta program or can send me a link?

It's not a public beta program. It's an internal build. There's also B172 for the Mate 9 Pro.
As far as I know, there is no beta program to join.

I think that there is beta program on chinese AL00. Only this model can receive first-wave updates via HiCare app. There is special function: OS update early adopters.
Tried many times on my MHA-L29 - no dice.

I've found many L29 and L09 beta builds too, but they are all older than current release. Some are called M300 instead of MHA (even recent ones, for example, there is an M300-L636B150) Early adopters may get official builds pushed to them sooner, but not beta updates as far as I can tell.

No, AL00 don't even have this option.
About a year ago there was a Huawei public beta program. (Betaclub.huawei.com). You still can register but the website is not available anymore.

TMobile Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 beta will land VERY soon here is the leaked changelog.

Get ready to flash.

you will need to register again last year beta registration will not work:

to download the you will need samsung+ or "samsung members" apk go here
https://www.sammobile.com/apk/samsung-members/samsung-members-2-0-99/

I signed up for the beta in the Samsung+ app. Got accepted, installed the beta. If I open the Samsung Members app to submit feedback, it tells me I'm not in the beta. Stupid. If I can't help I don't want the beta (too buggy), but because the Members app doesn't think I'm in the beta I can't even withdraw from the beta :good:

the best part is i posted those screenshots to imgur and everyone took it without crediting me. I know this was last week, but still. I DID IT!

I have the same issue. Two hours on the phone with the 866 number, about 5 different clueless reps, a bunch of posts in the Samsung Forum, nothing works.
I can downgrade the phone using SmartSwitch, but then get nagged to death about reinstalling the beta. Reinstalling the beta doesn't change anything. It's making me nuts.

Here at xda, we post in English. Which is an actual rule here. If you cannot speak English, it still needs to be translated. I did it myself for the forum, but just an FYI for future posts. Can be found here if you need reference. https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 further more, what some Joe schmo says on a website means nothing. Most of the idiots from honor on social media said Oreo wasn't coming h to the h8, but yet it's in beta. These "representatives" know annually nothing about what's being developed for the phone and you're just silly if you think they do. Hell, the main guy from honor usa couldn't even tell me how long it takes an OTA to go from them to the public. In short, this isn't anymore solidifying than the goofballs saying we weren't getting Oreo because some random rep said so. I hope we can agree to disagree on this instead of doing what most of XDA does and "flame" each other. Have a good day.

It is true, I should had add the source from the beginning that is my fault.
But I really did post in English and translated that part about the Honor 8 and it is not my fault that the source behind the link is in Hungarian. I might have mistakes since my English isn't perfect but I hope that does not count
So the story behind this Hungarian topic is that Honor got even more separated from Huawei in Hungary, now they have their own distribution channels, marketing, management etc. and in order to be more influential they collaborated with the largest tech media site called "mobilarena" (like here in XDA) and opened a Honor topic in order to answer questions. Obviously the first question was about Oreo for Honor 8. Few days later they wrote back that they have been directly negotiating with the manufacturer but he is not able to provide any specific information about the (Oreo) update (sorce). However he can tell that a smaller update gonna happen in June... and the rest is in the first post. So I am not judging anybody if they don't believe in the representative after all those false information. Have a nice day as well!

Backup Internal storage goes offline in June 2018
Like title says, in June there will be some kind of update not sure if Oreo or just monthly security patch, but go to the: Settings > Advanced settings > Backup and reset > Huawei backup, try option backup data it will give you options how to backup data: Computer, Internal storage or USB storage.
Under Internal storage there is red message about offline feature in June 2018.
imgurcom/a/GyiFBZ7 (insert . after imgur)
On Honor 8 (FRD-L09), B405, EMUI 5.0.1, OS 7.0
That update (virtual, three finger screen shot,...) or Android Oreo or maybe something else, how knows.
EDIT:
Maybe it is based just for the app from Huawei (Huawei backup).
Funny, child company Honor using Huawei app and cloud storage (cheap move)
Maybe in June 2018 they will give new option for Honor users.
Honor backup on Android 7.0

To be sincere i saw the changelog for the Honor 6A. I downloaded and installed the firmware on my grandpa's phone and it has those features. But i think H8 won't get anything because it already have double knock to screenshot , knock with two fingers to record and vol down pressed to recall HiVoice....all this is included in the Honor 6A update (about 407 mb) so no need to "update" H8 with functions already present. I know...3 finger swipe down isn't the same as double knock...but wtf cares?

I have a L-09 and I can assure you that with the latest B405 I do not have all that features described (some of it - yes but not all). Maybe just as the Chinese version has more features other regions might have some differences as well. Maybe L02 did not have all these features yet while L09 had already had some of it.
