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.

today indian version got 8.1 update. cant we get that ROM?
ive tried using vpn for china and mine still says system up to date ,mine is on 7.1.1 nov 6th security patch,i think its cos our phone has unofficial playstore app that it wont update. there is a mena firmware update which it says is for our variant on nokia 6 forum but nobody has said if it definitely for second gen ta-1054 ,if it is you could flash it and install all updates manually ,but im waiting untill someone lets me know if its legit has i dont want to brick my new phone
There was one rom in the nokia-6 MENA method, but I could not get it on my phone tho, also no reply on the topic for solution.
I sent back the chinese one, and ordered a global version from amazon.
But after a while there should be systems dumps, or updates to flash.
Anyone else tried flashing mena 2nd gen firmware from Nokia 6 link ?

Can you send me the link to that ROM? Thanks.
it wont work bud you cant unlock the bootloader ive been trying for weeks
I tried the PL2-064D-0-00CN-B05.nb0, from this link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t64iHuQQjmMnzcujZtjYplh6ipbiF6Cw?usp=sharing
To obtain tools look here:

But try at your own risk
Mine survived tho, but no luck ob upgrading.

Did you try it, or?
I've tried it numerous times always fails log says cannot flash locked device
Any progress?
Ive tried installing the latest play store APK as well as China VPN and India/Netherlands as they have started to receive their 8.1 updates (apparently) but nothing.
Im stuck on 7.1.1 and the Nov 2017 security update.
Also, has anyone else tried USB/WiFi/BT tethering...none of these are working (AUS on Telstra). Has anyone else tried?
It worked fine on Oppo phone so its not the carrier and I have checked the APN info.
Another Q..
If the phone is unlocked, would you be able to flash the RoW firmware thats currently being rolled out or are you limited to the (not currently available) TA-1054 only?
Nokia Model: TA-1054 is this version china or global
got a TA-1054 here today in China. Updated 6 times all the way to 8.1.0 without issue.
once bootloader unlocking is available you can flash global firmware just be patient bud
@safron35. Yep..but my reason for wanting the update is so i get tethering. Currently at 7.11 all the tethering (wifi, USB and BT) on my phone is broken. I've had to resort back to using my Oppo until I can get it working as I need this functionality for my work.
@pola..Thanks for the heads up..I'll try connecting my VPN to a Chinese server again and see how it goes.
Anyone know what they use as a check/verification for location?
The ta-1054 is Chinese custom ROM if its on 7.1.1 Nov patch and will not update until you unlock bootloader and flash original firmware ,no matter what you try
Ah..got it. Thx for the info.
Another Q if that's ok? ....if it's had a custom F/W flashed this would mean it's already had its bootloader unlocked yes?
Hi,
I read different information regarding the Pie update of European models. I heard that that it is cancelled in US except of Verizon. But how does it look like with unlocked EU phones? Will we get the update or not? Does anybody know.
The promise to get Pie update was one of the reasons why I bought the phone. Now I feel tricked if we won't get it (and I assume it is the case).
I could get an unofficial update but then I'll loose Google Pay, my bank applications will not work anymore etc. Unlocking the bootloader is not an option for me.
But unlocking bootloader is the only one option for ATT users.

This device will be upgraded to the Android 9 (Pie) release of Android, pending partner support.
Morning all, I went through the pages but couldn't find anything that relates to this. Bought the 9pro yesterday (US version, unlocked, using a TMobile sim)
Phone can not find an update, it's still sitting on November 2021 patch with Android11. Is this normal? I know the US hasn't been getting much love lately from OP. I'm also aware of updating via sideload but if this lack of update is known to others as well, I'd rather wait it out until OTA arrives. Anyone have advice?
Same for Europe. BUT - be happy with being "stuck" on Android 11. OOS12 is still way too buggy, more of a beta version.

If you want to try out Android 12, you can proceed through the Oxygen Updater app. The last official OOS12 update I was on has been the C44 EU (C46 is out, but not for EU yet), and I decided to give a try to custom ROMs (Jaguar, on Android 11, and crDroid 8, on Android 12).
I'm currently running crDroid 8 as my daily driver, but OOS12 C44 EU was great too (the first OOS12 updates were quite a mess, though).

Do you prefer a12 to a11 on the 9pro? I'm hearing horror stories, almost afraid to update it. What's your opinion on it

Horror stories? Over exaggerated for the biggest part and mostly caused by the disappointment that originated after OnePlus and OPPO announced a closer cooperation and unified OS.

I saw this yesterday but figured I should at least give it a little time. Two small issues so far. One, it optimized my alarm clock app so I woke up late this morning. Second, the font and spacing seems a bit bigger on everything and I haven't found how to get it smaller yet. I have font set to small. Wifi, Bluetooth, 4 and 5g all seems to be working fine. No issues with lagging, screen, etc. Let me know if you have anything specific you want me to check.
I paid $530 for my 9pro brand new (us version & unlocked). I'm stuck on Nov 2021, I don't see anything super promising regarding A12 or OOS12, so I guess I'll stay on A11 and treat this phone like a mid-ranger. If I get a OTA, yay.... If not, oh well it was essentially 500 bucks for an 888 and 12gb of Ram

Do you happen to know if I root my 9 pro, whether or not I can still get OTA updates? Or, if maybe i could still use Oxygen Updater to do so? I dont mind the stock OS but id love to get Titanium Backup going and a few other small things.
NEVERMIND - Found on the Oxygen Updater site. Still works after root, just a slightly different process.

You'll have to check personally for that, as I'm unsure about how Titanium backup works. But I know you can still use Magisk and keep your device rooted even through OTA updates (the process is described step by step in the associated post on the OnePlus 9 Pro forum, so you should find it quite easily, but be careful, as you have to do a few things before rebooting to apply the OTA update.).
May 19, 2022:
OnePlus is starting rolllout of a new system update for the OnePlus 9 series. It comes with version C.60 and measures over 1.5GB.
The latest OTA brings a couple of multitasking improvements and adds some connectivity and gaming features. However, the May security patch is still not available for the phones. You can read the full changelog below.
Convenience & efficiency
You can now open up to 3 apps in floating windows at the same time in Split-screen mode and switch between Floating window and Split screen modes
You can now use the Clock app in Quick Return
Connectivity
You can now open up to 3 phone windows on your PC
Games
Adds the HyperBoost end-to-end frame rate stabilizer
Heterogenous graphics: Reduces gaming loads and power consumption (only for some games)
As always, this OTA will be incremental. It will reach a small percentage of users initially. A broader rollout should start in a few days.
To check if an update is available, head to Settings > System > System updates on your device.
India already with download link
[Update: Incorrect changelog] OnePlus 9 series receives fresh update with multitasking and gaming improvements
OnePlus is rolling out a new update for the OnePlus 9 series which brings a couple of multitasking and gaming improvements.
www.xda-developers.com
First rom with no gaming throttling.
India only. Miss the days when OnePlus would release one global rom or atleast global and India the same day.
It showed as a full rom over here, so you can jump directly from 11 to c60 and no need to go to 47 anymore.
from coloros c.62 to oxygen c.60 ?

It should work because Oxygen C.60 is 1 month newer.
But if you want to be shure do it like me.
I was on ColoOS C.61. I use OxygenOS rollback rom (This Wipe all in youre phone). Them got 2 updates up to C.47. End 2 days ago i got C.48 european...
I wonder if I flash the india C.60 ROM on my EU L2123 will it transform my device into an indian variant, or will it stay EU L2123 ?
My EU unit LE2123, i flashed the Global C48, no issues there. Yesterday when i flashed the Indian C60 the device is no longer certified under - Google PlayStore. Hence can't setup new cards. Cleared the Google Play services and playstore cache and data, rebooted the device but the issue still exists.
Any solution?
Device is non rooted and bootloader is locked.

It will still stay LE2123, but device may not be certified anymore. I did the same, rest all works well, only the device certification issue.

There is no workaround for that unless you Root your device and add the universal safety net magisk module and hide root afterward in Zygisk from play services and playstore.

thanks for your response, i'll wait for the next full OTA zip for either of the regions and then flash it. I don't wana root my device as its my primary driver.
Still no update other than in India for almost 2 weeks now. OnePlus really seems to only care about India now. All of their phones seen to have this issue now.
Anyone running this on a global 9 or 9 Pro unit? I flashed it and had to use the TMO COS/OOS data retention fix since it thought my device was dual SIM but I lost 5G and WiFi calling on T-Mobile in the process. Just curious if anyone was able to get these things working before I go through the arduous task of a factory reset. If not, I can live without them for now.
Edit: Cannot pass SafetyNet either. I have tried universal SafetyNet fix, I have tried Shamiko, and I have tried props config. I have only ever had to use the universal fix before so no idea why I can't pass the CTS Profile.
