Hello guys,
A few weeks ago I've asked the admin of the page huaweinews.com about when are Huawei planning to release the official EMUI 3.0 for the rest of the world (International Frimware).
He told me this:
A representative from Huawei Serbia told me that the official update for Europe will start rolling out in March, It is also possible that the Android 5.0 update for P7 will come then.

So I just wanted to share these news with you. Hopefully they are true... I just get pissed-off of waiting for this update.
So another thing is immediately after he responded me, I've asked him are Huawei planning to release a Android 5.0 update for our phone. And that I am asking, because our phone is more than capable of running Android 5. And since it is the most selled Huawei phone in the world, I think they should update it to Lollipop too!
Now we are waiting for further response to my second question, but meanwhile we can discuss the upcoming release.
Cheers!

We will get the EMUI 3.0 update sooner or later... It is only a mater of time, but the point is that waiting is killing me.

Yes, that is what I said to him. P7 is not so better then our phones. And so we must get some 5.0 update also! The only problem is, that our phone is just an older model. But I am an optimist and I think that there is very good chance of use getting the 5.0! Besides from Huawei never denied anything connected with P6 Lollipop upgrade, so that leave us some hopes about it.

Regarding EMUI 3.0 - Chineese B709 (with removed Chineese apps) works just fine here in Croatia.. As I'm concerning, Huawei don't need to rush with int. version.
But certanly, I would like to see lolipop on my phone, and hopefuly we will get it sooner or later. The priority of Huawei is to bring 5.0 on P7 first, and I think after that, they just need to addopt it to work on our P6. But the sad thing is, if this will happen, it will be as soon as end of this yerar, not before!
Thanks.
The wait for international emui3.0 had been too long.
Far too long.

Common Huawei!!! We are waiting for far too long, guys!!!
Yesterday I've update my friends Huawei G6 to EMUI 3.0 official ROM. So even the G6 have the EMUI 3.0 already and this phone is a lower class than ours!!! What is happening? Huawei P7 is on EMUI 3.0 already too!!! G6 before P6??? Common... This is not serious...
Looks like huawei doesn't care to P6 anymore.
We have been wating far too long for EMUI 3.0 Europe for P6.
Our patience is running out. Huawei doesn't care to costumers.
At least you guys in Europe get OTA updates, so you'll most likely get EMUI3.0 sometime soon.
I haven't received one OTA update since getting my device almost 2 years ago. We're also "stuck" on B510 (from the Huawei ZA website), so we don't get any bug fixes either.
Huawei South Africa seems to not care about us. Oh, and another thing, we don't have any carrier settings either, so we basically just have a general firmware without any optimization for our carriers, so no boot animation either.

Yep, but the branding can easily be removed with root. I'd rather have an OTA update with bug fixes, than have to keep downloading an update that is 1gb big.
I just want to be able to update my phone with a firmware that is suitable for my region.
Have contacted Huawei uk, they said that there won't be any further updates to the p6 in the uk, however EMUI 3.0 may come to other countries in Europe!

I am from Bulgaria and and I am trying to contact the Bulgarian Huawei Consumer Page in facebook. Now I am awaiting for them to reply me.
I will inform you guys if they tell me anything. But if there is not gonna be any update for Europe this will the most stupid thing ever.
But from other side I can understand them - why to update old phone, when you can update the new ones and by this to force the consumers to buy them instead of staying with their old phones. This guys must cell phones...
I Hope someone from huawei reads this.
If there is no lollipop update for the P6, I promise you this will be my last Huawei device, We paid a lot of money for this phone, it has all the hardware requirements for lollipop and has a huge user base. But i will not buy a phone again that has this poor and pathetic after sale service and poor attitude from huawei, we supported you and bought your device, the least you can do is update the phone every once in a while and when a new OS comes out which is compatible with the hardware, give us the option to upgrade.
So i say again, and i believe im not alone on this, if there is no longer updates on this device, this will be my last Huawei and i will always recommend other devices to clients.
same opinion

this is my first and last huawei device me too ! huge lack of support for the most successful device ever produced by huawei it was a flagship and the Z brand of sony are now in Lollipop the S4 which has the same age of our P6 have lollipop too and we still wait for a 4.4 Kitkat firmware international version ! at least they supposed to release an update emui 3.0 for the same rom not an entire rom with months of test for nothing
PS:their P7 is not that much better than the p6 they have almost the same hardware the thing is its battery life a little better than the previous one

This is true. It will also be my first but last Huawei device. Huge disappointment for me from the support of the phone. As you said - most of the same yeared phones already have Lollipop. I hope just when huawei release some Lillipop ROM for some other device, developers will port it to P6.
I will rellay only on custom roms for Lillipop...

Any chance you've gotten a reply from Huawei Bulgaria yet?
It's such a pity that there haven't even been any updates to the Chinese version of EMUI 3.0 since December.
General Mobile posted on Facebook yesterday. The update will be available for GM 6/6D and GM 5 Plus/D. Here you can see all the new features coming with this update.
Looking at the official post from Google, the update will arrive by the end of this year.
Great news. I will ditch alcatel idol 4 in toilet and buy gm 5 plus
Update: I think they'll release the update in feb 27th according to Facebook page news.

I think our last hope is March update which will be rolled out about 2 weeks. On the other hand, phone's update sequence will be end in 2 months.
Btw I think this delay is not a coincidence, they did it on purpose to not give 8.1 to GM 5 plus users.
Yeah they will never release the update... Just like they didn't release updates for general mobile 5.

This is fantastic news. I'm going to get go of my Alcatel idol 4 and replace it with a GM 5 Plus.
Hey guys,
I've been using my Honor 8 Pro for a year now, I really like it.
But there's a side to Honor/Huawei that I really dislike and that is the lack of software support/updates. I've been waiting for the Oreo update for months now and still nothing. Even worse, I'm still on B185 and check for updates every day and never an update available. We're almost in April and this seems like just lazy company policy. "Screw those 1 year old phones" or something like that.
However, I have been reading on a lot of forums that a lot of people in Europe (C432) have already received the update... What's the holdup? I don't really understand this rollout in phases and how they select IMEIs for receiveing the updates...
Anyone able to tell me what's going on with this? It feels like I'm in a Monty Python's joke or something!
Thanks in advance!
Same here. Looks like nobody in Spain had received the OTA either.
Same here, I'm in Malaysia(C636), still oreo update, although just received B189 update.
Has anyone in Sweden got Oreo ?
Try with Firmware Finder from Huawei.

It doesn't work because the firmware is IMEI linked, so once downloaded you can't install it if your IMEI is not in the list. And if it was in the list, you had had received the OTA. It makes no sense, I know.
Thanks everyone for the responses.
I've tried getting in touch with Huawei/Honor customer support and they're useless... No info whatsoever.
I probably will sell the phone and buy something else, which leaves me a bit sad because I really like this phone... No more Honor or Huawei for me. They're very bad when it comes to software/security updates.
Again thank you everyone for your input!

The update pretty good from me. Bought since july last year, received july, august, september, november, january up until february security patch along with oreo emui 8.0. Yeah i just receive oreo 2 days ago... its pretty late but never mind as its pretty much the same... The only best thing for me is the Game Suite app and can change screen resolution to FHD... Better games frame rate. I'm from Malaysia.
Sent from my Honor 8 Pro using XDA Labs
Looks like the EU version (C432) is the forgotten one, stuck with B185 from last September...
I was on B189 before receiving 8.0 in late February (C432). Have you tried to boot it without a SIM card and searching for updates on WiFi?

Yes. And tried Hi-Suite tool too, no success. I've asked in other forums too and looks like they haven't released anything newer than B185 for units sold in Spain
I was in contact with Honor last week, EMUI 9 is scheduled for the second half of 2019. We have to wait ! (sorry for my bad english, i am french )
Your English is fine Mas8x - far better than my French! Yes, Huawei/Honor are really slow at releasing updates. I suppose it is due to them manufacturing a bewildering range of different handsets.
Jeez that is slow.
Damn!
I love this phone. However, I am starting to think I made a big mistake looking at honor phones.
2nd half of 2019 is too long.
Hello, moderators in the Indian Honor Club have repeatedly stated that Honor 8x will get Pie in the 1st week of April. They have also mentioned quite a few times that they will try to bring it even earlier.
@Mas8x your English is not at all bad. Also as Gyre8 mentioned, my French is far worse (Almost non-existence).
Lol try having a ZTE phone. You get whatever it released with, maybe a few software updates to the existing phone. So what if you aren't getting Pie immediately? Roll with Oreo till it updates and it'll update.
Relax, there are still phones which are getting Oreo as of now. So for a low-ranger like 8X, April is fair enough.
https://www.xda-developers.com/emui...se-for-honor-10-honor-play-and-honor-view-10/
Honor 10 and play, and view 10 are available to update now. Unfortunately, 8X still have to wait. But I think it will be soon after the global release.
Update started for few models. Few registering for beta now
Just FYI - received Android Pie via OTA update in Slovakia.

Nothing to indicate it's a Beta. Cannot attach a screenshot for some reason. Build number is 9.0.1.132.
Anybody know when the update is available in France ? Sorry for the English ^^
Beta is pretty stable, only thing that needs fixing so far is dual app support, so i'd soon. Probably in march.

Updated 9.0 several days ago which is so called public test version. It's disappointing cause no GMS included, and I can't find a working GMS installer for it. So, no Google play, no good. And several VPN apps don't work as well, it's very annoying as I'm in China. Wish someone can make a proper GMS installer for Android 9.

My old ZTE Axon 30 ultra just received the latest security patch. Is this some type of joke honor is doing? No need to be called honor because you don't honour anything.
I've been curious about updates to as I was looking to get the 5 Pro. Problem with Honor is they don't care about monthly security patches. We all do! Think i'll give the 5 Pro a swerve as well. What is the latest security patch do you 4 Pro owners currently have?
