New P2, no nougat update for now - Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I got a new lenovo P2 (P2a42) yesterday. As soon as I started it I received two OTA updates, and my phone is now at P2a42_S062_170117_ROW.
But there is no sign of nougat update for now. Is it normal ? Do I just have to wait a bit more, or is there something I could do to get it faster ?
Thanks !

It seems that nougat update is temporarily blocked by Lenovo. Maybe they are fixing bugs and we will get a newer ota soon

yeah, on the lenovo forum, the mod says, it's blocked. we will get a "new" nougat upgrade soon.
hopefully with newer security updates than february and less bugs

Hopefully they'll recognize the hidden software button overlay as a bug instead of a 'feature'

Huawei GR5 / Honor 6X stable Nougat update released

A two-month delay for an expected updated is par for the course when it comes to receiving major updates from Google. Keeping true to fashion, the Android 7.0 Nougat update for Huawei’s Honor 6X was supposed to happen last March, but is now only rolling out this month to those in the US. Along with the usual goodies that come with the update, smartphone owners will also be getting the EMUI 5.0 so a visual interface overhaul will also be happening.
By this time we’re already familiar with what you get when you upgrade to Nougat: better battery management, improved multi-tasking features, replying through notifications, 72 new emojis, among other things. But since the update also brings EMUI 5.0, you also get a few other things that only Huawei/Honor devices get. The major ones include bringing a simpler interface with a blue and white color scheme, three-step operation 90% of the time, and a smoother system that will make it easier for you to switch between tasks.
The update also brings a more secure system specifically when it comes to user privacy, mobile payment and communication, and app usage. The task manager has also been remodeled, bringing bigger task cards that can be swiped and pinned. You can also now have two user account profiles within one app. Plus you have an app drawer option to centralize all desktop apps.
The update will roll out to all Honor 6X users starting now. But it will also be gradual and is expected to be completed by the middle of May.

I read from a lot of reviews that people are facing problems in the Nougat ROM which they downloaded from Firmware Finder or something. I can't risk my phone with that as it's a Beta release. I clearly made up my mind and was waiting for the official update ever since. By the way, I am from India and I just bought my Honor 6x like 2 weeks back. Do you have any idea about when will they be sending the update in my country? Would appreciate if anyone could provide genuine information regarding this! Thanks!
Wajira , Did you get Stable Nougat or not ?? I'm also from Sri Lanka and impatiently waiting for a nought update.
I am also waiting for the nougat. I signed up for the beta tester release but am yet to hear from them. An email to the Huawei team advised that since I am not from Vietnam, no beta release for me.

If you goto about phone and select check for update and it says your device is fully updated then there is no update
Updates are rolled out in phases based on phone variant, region, network branded or retail
Members of xda do not know when an update is coming so its pointless in asking
If its not available when you press check for updates then assume its not available yet
And please stop creating threads about updates - theres one already in the general section - we do not need loads of threads about updates

Not updating

My phone is on the June patch. According to the Firmware finder there have been updates to 366 and to 367. Why am I no longer getting monthly patches (C432)?
My Honor (C432) also remained at the 366 version. Yet on the internet there are updates. I wonder why. I hope we'll have at least Android Pie 9 in the near future.
GPU Turbo
Anyone installed GPU turbo update yet?It is now available on firmware finder for C636 and C10

After 3 months of not receiving any updates, I finally received version 372 yesterday (September patch)
Last night finally via HiSuite, received the update B372. But it's strange that there is nothing written in the changes register, even knowing that there are security patches updated to September 1.
I received the B372 update via "Download the new full package", because the automatic updater or OTA didn't work at all and it was a good thing to update from the horrible buggy B366 to the full B372 version !
Now, my phone is not laggy, has good performance, and battery life is way better like before ! Can't wait now for the new GPU CPU Turbo update which should be coming around november !

December update

Thank you. But I'm scared of losing LTE by updating via different region VPN as I have seen some posts about it. I.e, Poland / Indonesia region.
Lte works for me, but I rather prefer to wait for the official release It's just a matter of days

With Pie waiting to roll out for everybody perhaps there is no Dec security update?

NO it will be rolled out integrated in the update for who didn't use vpn method, and will reach who used vpn as an update to pie but with less volume like 200Mb compared to about 1.1 Gb for the official rollout
Nonetheless it is very disappointing - I got this phone to get timely updates! I don't care about Pie that much, but the December update has been rolled out two weeks ago and we still don't have it!
Where is this December update?!

I mean, if it comes with bug-less Pie might worth the wait... But let's be realistic :cyclops:
New December update for Pie on the Mi A2 Lite! Check your devices if your on the Pie Beta and you should see a new update available.
No update for me in germany (updated manually to pie).

That's no update, it's just the "open beta" Xiaomi released a few weeks ago and some members got via a VPN connection.
December update rolling out in Middle East
Updated to Pie two weeks ago through VPN and got December update today

No more updates since 1st January?

I've bought this phone earlier this year (at a big store) and I haven't received an update. I haven't rooted/modified ROM/unlocked bootloader or anything. I used it as it is.
But the thing is that the phone can't connect to the OTA updates, and it should have at least find the latest security patches. What is wrong?

Actualy there is a more recent Pie build with march patches : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82210047&postcount=158
It's weird that the OTA is not working.
I recently flashed Oreo stock rom ( miflash) and upgraded to Pie over OTA, i could only get the 10.18 version, probably other update is pulled to, it was 75mb , maybe just security patch and some software to prepare upgrade to android 10
