Yeah. Although that was on a different update. I believe they have issues with OTA updates.
which ROM is that?
I just received the update "Elephone P8000 20150909222555", is it a new one?
I just let it install through the recovery and it is now stuck in the Elephone logo while booting! FML
Seems that I can't post links but here is an image of what the OTA promt said: http :// imgur. com/ lndzEj4.png

And the only "news" in this ROM update is that they've changed default launcher to a spyware/trojan included x-launcher, complete b*ll**** nonsense from Elephone dev.

I don't use SIM 2 so it won't affect me. But I've seen they mentioned some IMEI issues that causes this problem with some SIM cards.
They also mentioned some issues with the launcher they use (spam, adverts etc). Do you have these issues as well?
I've always used the nova launcher without issues. Before I upgraded today sim 2 was working fine. I bought this phone for dual sim and now it doesn't work

Check if your IMEI is ok.
If not check the solution posted here
Hope that helps. Let us know how it will go.
What do you mean check my IMEI?
I had the exact same problem after ota update (stuck at bootimage)...
I precisly followed this guide: bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VfpyK7P7vtS and it works again.
With this Firmware version i could use ota without breaking my device. I think OTA just didn't work for the 07/09 firmware version I had on my phone.
Best Regards,
Lukas

borofanuk said:

Click to collapse
Go to your Settings->About Phone->Status->IMEI information
There you can see the IMEI for each SIM slot. If it's messed up for a one slot I guess that's the reason a SIM card won't work.
For example there a 15 digit number for Slot 1 and 2 and then a 2 digit number for SV for each slot.
FYI, I never use the 2nd slot so I'm not sure if it's working or not.
Hope this clarifies at least something for you and you'll be able to fix your phone.
Don't install this buggy Update
The update is not buggy for me. Everything seems to be working fine (2 SIMs etc). No problems so far. As for the launcher I always use Nova myself so I don't know what the problem is with the new one. Aesthetically though it is a lot better than it was, because it resembles stock (it has app drawer etc).
Just don't install OTA

I'm trying to do mine on Windows 8.1 but i have some issues with the driver. Got any tips?
I'm installing the driver but I get some errors at the end of the installation. Then I connect my phone, in the device manager i get the driver name there for a few secs and then it goes away.

Hey guys!
I am Vivek from Ahmedabad, India. I am writing this just to let you all know about my recent experience with FF!
I bought my 6X (BLN-L22) like 2 months back and couldnt get any official ota even after waiting this long. I tried to contact the EMUI admin in Facebook and they told me that its being pushed to individual devices gradually. Now as promising as it sounds, how long is someone supposed to wait right?
Now, I came across an ocean of unfavorable and negative reviews about FF here in XDA and also in other websites. A lot of people complained about disappearance of updater and app twin along with other apps. While others complained of buggy performance or some other issues with the camera. But what I later found out was that people were trying to jump from an old release to the latest one without patching the previous releases of the full OTA in FF!
Some people had issues while jumping from 301 to 320 and some from 310 to 320. And some had twrp installed so its obv to face random issues anyway. Well, I was in B132 all this time and I didnt know what to patch first. But I read somewhere that my release and B320 were stables ones compared to others. So I backed up every single thing from my phone and took the risk only to see if all the hype about FF was true or not...
And to my surprise, it actually worked!! I simply flashed my phone to B320 from B132 using the proxy method and it all happened within an hour. I am on Nougat (EMUI 5) now and its super smooth. I have all the new features like App twin and box based push notifications. I even have the updater file which many complained of vanishing after flashing. It all worked just fine!
I was given a little inspiration by a guy named Gopi here for trying out the FF after all those crazy reviews. He said "You never know unless you try". And I went for it! haha!
So go ahead folks! B320 through FF is what you need if you dont wish to wait too much for the OTA. Special thanks to the developers of FF for this!
Good luck! :good:
Peace.
I'm legit jealous . Cause in my device (BLL-L22) there is still no full nougat update in it (with the app twin etc). Just wish huawei release it soon

So previously if we update manually everyone is facing only minor issues. But the main which some have reported is if you factory reset after the update then then are complaining about missing updater in setting and also some apps like calculator. So I want to know if this still exists. Have you tried factory reset on your phone after update ? Are the apps like updater still present after factory reset? Please help me I am done waiting for ota

No I didnt went for the factory reset. It wasnt necessary anyway. I simply updated from B132 to B320 via FF and within 15 mins, the whole update was installed. I got App Twin, Updater and a lot of other new features. I didnt faced any bug so far. Been using EMUI 5 since 3 days now. Dont wait for OTA if you dont wish to. Just upgrade via FF buddy. Good luck!

Because I also updated with firmware finder from Marshmallow to Nougat build 310 just as happy as you and now I'm not getting 320 update....?

1. Download the right firmware for your device
2. Create a folder inside sdcard named dload
3. Extract the update.app inside the firmware you downloaded and put it inside dload
4. Power off your phone
5. Power it on back again using volume up, volume down and power buttons. All pressed simultaneously
6. Flashing will start.

Not Getting B320 Update . How to Update to this version via Firmware Finder

Same here bro. Not able to update via Firmware Finder once updated to 310 Build. There is a patch available but not able to flash it .
Saw few users not having App Twin feature on various variant of 6X on EMUI 5.0. I found this trick on Honor 5C Facebook group shared by one of the user claiming this worked for him on rooted phone. I could not test this because I already have this feature on my phones so unable to verify but someone not having this feature on EMUI 5.0 can verify and report.
This needs a rooted phone with root enabled file explorer. (Root browser or ES file manager)
Go to this path:- system/emui/lite/prop/
backup this file - local.prop (copy and paste in internal storage or somewhere)
Now edit the original file under system/emui/lite/prop/ and make below changes.
fw.max_users=1 to 2
fw.show_multiuserui=0 to 1
ro.config.hw_support_clone_app=false to true.
Save the file and Reboot the phone.
Now check in settings option just below battery for app twin.
If it works, please share the feedback so that other users can get benefit of this and if doesn't work, we will explore more option to have this.
If you face any issue, just restore the original file from backup.
Good luck.

Thanks for testing it mate.
Tested this feature and this will work 100% on Honor 6X on any region. Just follow the instruction mentioned in OP. I just did on BLN-L21 model (debranded today)
Just debranded from BLN-L22 to BLN-L21. Everything working fine. More details to follow soon.
For those, who were just curious to know if there will be OTA after debranding, you will get OTA after debranding without any issue. Just confirmed after debranding to BLN-L21. Got 2 updates in less than 30 minutes.
EDIT- Ignore this post. was posting in debranding guide thread but tab changed in a blink which I didnt notice.

Just FYI. This guide worked, more or less, on a Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus (Nougat 7.0, Emui 5.1). Did I say "More or less"? yeah, I did.
It appeared "Aplicación gemela" new menu, just under the battery option in the settings menu ("twin app", in spanish). Problem is inside option, I only have option to replicate WeChat app. Okay, that is one of the two apps I'd like to clone (messaging app with logon based on phone number, and this phone is a 2-SIM one... personal and work). The other one is Whatsapp, also installed. But not appearing in menu for twinage.
So guide works, functionality in limited way.
Maybe it's due the mobile origin (China), the tuning I've made to it for getting gApps working (my god...), or maybe its due the whatsapp I've installed is the beta version? unsure.

Sorry, forgot to come and edit. I've already seen it. it's great info.
But in the end, Whatsapp doesn't works for me (ok, I didn't go trhough ABD but just modified XML file, whatsapp appears in menu, i can clone it, second icon appears in NOVA's app drawer, but it opens with the SAME configuration, it is not a different one... for wechat, it works)
It is no so important for me, so I'm not dedicating more time, just playing around a nice feature. If sometime in future i need it, maybe i will investigate more or use any app out there for cloning.
Thanks ^_^

I have the same problem too! I even tried to install google play service manually with latest apk files, but it doesn't work. Plus, I can't even use any google apps. Very frustrating. I tried to ask for help to the support, but they didn't care anything. Shame on Huawei, I would never buy Huawei devices anymore
I had the same issue, but I fixed it. The problem is my device came with Chinese firmware on it, which as you already know after the last update doesn't support Google services and all of the related apps.
The solution is to change your mediapad's firmware with no Chinese one. I downloaded mine from here: romfirmware.com/2017/08/03/huawei-mediapad-m2-8-0-m2-801w/
Definitely works. Wish you luck!
P.S. Bear in mind that you will loose all of your personal data and installed apps doing so. I recommend to backup your entire device and later to try to restore it on the new firmware - it is not so easy in my case but in the end it worked.

Thank you so much for the information. I'm going to try this way
No Google
Yep I got the same problem. Update stopped google working.
I side loaded some things but Chrome worked for a short period and then stopped working again. I tied Opera and it was fine so only a Google thing.
I then attempted to flash older firmware and did something wrong as I completely hard-bricked my device. Fastboot mode works but no other mode works. I'll be posting a 'help please' elsewhere in the forums. Very f'ed off about it, but the downsides of buying off AliExpress, it's going to be Chinese firmware. Might go buy a Samsung form the shop down the road (sigh).
I updated to B217 and have the same problem that all Google things stop working.
After hours of searching I have successfully downgrade my M2-801W from B217 (EMUI 4, Android 6) to B019 (EMUI 3, Android 5).
Now all Google things work fine as before.
I will post the guide and the necessary files soon.

I didn't lose any files.
Heads up that payment apps do not currently work with this update. Android Pay says this is not an official rom, and LG Pay requires and update for android 10 that doesn't exist yet. I suspect because although it might be official firmware, it hasn't officially been released yet.
Hmmm thinking of pulling the trigger on this. Wondering if they made improvements in the camera app? Also wondering if there is a battery drain. A lot of updates from several different phone manufacturer's are reporting battery drain after updating to Android 10.

I notice the battery exactly the same, the camera improved and added new modes, but mainly the interface and fluidity of the Android 10 device improved much more than with Android 9
I took a gamble and decided to install it. Maaananaannnnn am I love this update. What a refinement! Feels like a new phone so much more polished that 9 was on the g8. Also loving the system wide dark made aka night mode. Everything is so buttery smooth
Meanwhile T-Mobile won't say anything on when they will push the update out for their variant. :crying:
With the security lock screen are the numbers suppose to be so small

... First off this one had bloatware too, u still had too disable it. You want to stay on a not as optimized firmware and not receive otas?
Hey friends!
These are only for the unlocked Surface Duo. I am sorry At&t users.

Cheers
I just rooted the new android 11 update.
The only difference from android 10 is you should now use the newest magisk v23 rather than the older one
I followed this guide exactly except skipped all the magisk workaround stuff and just used the latest version of the magisk app to patch the boot.img

To be honest with you, I don't know if this will work for At&t, it might but I don't have the at&t model so I cannot verify for you. You can try flashing via adb sideload in recovery and see but non of us are responsible if things don't work lol

Lol yeah I know the drill around these parts. I just did a quick internet search and the update is ONLY for the unlocked models according to what I read. I guess I'll be waiting for the time being

It's late where I am, but tomorrow I may just try it and see if it will work. I'll read some more about it tonight and if I take the dive tomorrow I will report back to let others know.

After a bit of experimentation I managed to get it to work. Although you can't just `add sideload` it since the verification will fail. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and dd some partitions manually. Then once it thinks it's the global variant you can `add sideload`. I made a thread about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/turn-at-t-into-a-the-global-variant.4393631/
