Just went on emui.huawei.com to copy and provide a link of an EMUI 5 update for an user in need, and this i what I've got (see pic in attachment). Huawei already removed almost every package from their consumers site, and the page will be even closed standing to what is wrote on the pop-up notice... What do you think about this (in my opinion) bad move that Huawei choose to make about update packages?
What a strange move with a pure PR reason given too

Seems really an hazardous movement since that i don't think that the problem could ever be servers costs the packages are extremely useful particularly for customers allowing them to restore soft-bricked phones...
That is awful, what if someone got a bootloop and needs a package?!
What a stupid move from Huawei. I feel more comfortable by going to an official site and download the firmware from there, but now Huawei will make lots of users uncomfortable
Thats bad. noob user who brick their phones may have found such things useful now they are stuck
Meh...
Not a big deal. My Mate 9 does not have any update packages to begin with on that site so i use this

Ofcourse there is backup frok Team MT.
But official is something different. 3rd party may shutdown anytime as they basically might be taking the packages from backend Huawei database and if they restrict then we may be stuck
Huawei you should think again .. And think again with your bootloader unlocking server .. You remembered me apple strategies !!
What's wrong with them ,why on earth they did this , this is just bad

Yeah the necessity to have a secure package ready to flash that could fix your phone is the thing that matters most, minding at the fact that developers could rely on original sources...

No one said this by what i can read, it's simply a move that (with no doubts) leave users perplexed.
I had my hopes in Huawei/Honor, but this is one big step back in my opinion. Supplying the customers with downloadable firmware packages is the least you could expect. That's a shame.. ?
My next phone will not be from Huawei.
Seems like Huawei is trying it's best to make it's services worst in Mobile Phone market. Good try Huawei, you had good days and as I said you "had".

Definitely agree with you, is just the minimum that a person could except from his phone's brand. Even the time that they keep supporting phones on updates is minor than other manufacturers, (Samsung for example) and they decide to remove released packages too now.
Ugh. As a Mate 2 user I thought my firmware had disappeared due to age. Now apparently this is a trend for Huawei. Can you say "forced obsolescence" folks?
For what it's worth, I did find the following link from Huawei that seems to house the firmware:
http://m.huawei.com/pkmobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm
Got to it from my phone; haven't tried it from my desktop.
But who knows how long that will last?

Same here! Thankful I downloaded Emui 3 (Lollipop) for MT2-L03 a while ago. My phone has long since disappeared.
Another thing: I sent a technical question to the Huawei Emui team almost a week ago - still no response. Coincidence? Hard to believe this isn't somehow related. And I don't usually wear tinfoil hats.

As much as I hope it is released for our phones, a single person who does live chats all day may not be the most rock-solid source. Any number of things could turn out to have happened, from misreading an information sheet before giving you said information to her being just plain wrong.
Thank you for posting this though, it is important that up to date information like that is made public. Its just that I'm not sure if one representative saying it is on its way is a complete confirmation.
Does anyone know how reliable these live chats usually are?

Not very reliable in this case since they are not allowed to give too much information out to the public. I posted a thread after I talked to one of Samsung's live representatives and they told me that the update would come in a matter of weeks. You can check my thread out if you want.

I'd love for this to be true. I'm holding off on updating to a custom rom in case they push KitKat and it doesn't work after using the stock restore posted.

I was talking with AT&T repair regarding my phone freezing when switching from portrait to landscape since the 4.3 OTA and they told me they were not aware of a fix coming out for this, but that 4.4 will probably come out in a couple months and it may replace whatever is causing the problem. When I went to the Samsung Experience center to let them force the OTA onto my phone again to see if that would fix the issue, that tech said the same thing about 4.4 coming out, but he thought my freeze issue is hardware related.

Make sense since S5 will be release in April so they can bust sell of S5 before they let us have it KitKat on S3.

Kit Kat does bring down memory usage, so if you use or want some of the S applications and features that Touchwiz has, you should see better performance due to released memory.
Theoretically that is, I've been on CM11 nightlies for awhile now.

Its not really important since most stock TouchWiz roms are total ****, especially those from samsung.
Lots of talk about Software updates, carriers shutting down phones, limiting charging..etc....Is there one sure fire way to prevent any OTA updates to cripple our phones? Would rooting the phone and keeping the stock ROM (with modifications) work to help us keep our phones from being crippled? What if we installed a completely different ROM?
How do you stop the carriers (Verizon in my case) ? I currently have a message saying "System Update ready to install". I'm not installing it, and hopefully they can't make me. I'll let the message sit there until I have to return it.
I open to rooting, flashing a custom ROM, but I'd rather root and keep the stock ROM. What are my options?

All this over a mobile phone? I can fully understand such groups being active about saving the planet or blah blah blah but a mobile phone? I can only speculate at this point and taking into consideration the trouble and problems in your cause that you must have an awful lot of free time......? You do realise that this device is even banned in hell? :silly: How can you live knowing you have to monitor where you use or travel with your 'mobile' phone? Irrespective of Samsung and the carriers trying to screw owners out of existence, the constant need to be aware of ones travel with a mobile phone would drive me potty! Ownership today of this phone must be like walking down the blade of a knife?
I guess it could be total dedication to the mobile....?
Or ......? I have no idea?
Any or all the above scenarios are time consuming and very myopic. In a few months a new S8 range will be introduced and some time within the next 9 months a new Note 8?
One thing for sure the Note 7 has reached cult status :good: :laugh:

Ok. Do not power up again until you watched this tutorial. You can postpone the Update twice, so nothing is löst until now. Good Luck!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FG3iSOgXZB0
how to stop the update till they get us too.....
keep clicking update and dismiss until you get an update window without a dismiss. You then have 15s or so to power off your device or it will auto update. For those that had this autoupdate happen to you... this is how.
If you force it to that window when your looking. You have the opportunity to power off and break the update code. You get an error message on power up that states the update failed and to contact samsung. Power down again deny any reports sent. you may get one.. and this fixes the update.. till they figure it out and push it on us too!
Good luck fellow s7'ers screw apple. screw samsung for bowing to the US oligarchy/apple there is no better phone on the market currently #NoDowngrade
ALL THE BS IS UNREAL... whats next?

LOL !
Most Android OEMs are similar in one way or another. Interesting thing is that average consumers usually don't care about these updates as we do. I have Moto X 2013 and when Motorola said that they will not upgrade this phones passed Android 5.1, I decided not to buy Moto products again and I didn't. Another phone I had was Xperia Z3 Compact and with Android 5/5.1 there should of been VoLTE support, but it never came to my unlocked unit and I too said that will not purchase another Sony phone and kept my word. It doesn't really matter if we turn our back on HTC and get another brand, we will face the same problem again. I do have HTC 10 myself, but it is sim free US version and only couple of weeks ago found out that EU version is lagging behind in software updates.
I was pissed off so converted my Taiwanese HTC 10 to US unlocked and voila!

so do something about it. I was tired of waiting for bell to release it so... unlocked my phone to US and did the update. My battery life doubled pretty much and it's because of the WiFi drain on 6.0.1 stock rom that's not present on nougat

Instead of doing the typical british thing of complaining, I just converted my phone to US and installed the RUU and converted back to WWE afterwards. And then the Nougat custom ROMS came along, so I went back to LeeDroid Although I did tweet at HTC to ask if they knew when, they just told me "Software updates are created by Google and are distributed by carriers to phone users" ... at which point I said "I dont think carriers do WWE/International/Unlocked. And Google don't make the updates for HTC specifically" ... I never did get a reply.
Good, forgive the English if it is bad, this translated with google. I do not know who the author is, but they have created this request at change.org for people to sign and send it to Sony. They are supposed to pressure and end up updating, as we believe meets the characteristics for it. I leave the link below in case someone wants to sign, I already sign, at least for trying not to be.
Put the www in front since being a new user does not let me put links.

I kinda doubt that Sony will listen, but I signed anyways. Still the only watch that lasts 2-3 days having features that are still up to date if someone would actually make the software to use the features properly. Still hoping on community development though, because also on the phones side, community developed software usually rocks more than anything stock.

I'm using Sony devices since December 2010 and every time the support was about to get dropped (we still don't know if it's confirmed the Smartwatch 3 WON'T get the update...) for any Sony device, there were always some heroes who tried to change the future with these petitions... and it never worked.

It's a lie. Sony just did not want to update them.
Samsung has released a new software update bringing a range of leading Galaxy S20 features to the Galaxy A series. Galaxy A51 and A71 device users will now be able to harness some of the Galaxy S20 series’ powerful innovations, designed to make the way we capture, connect and share more dynamic than ever before.
https://news.samsung.com/global/gal...features-thanks-to-the-latest-software-update
Update 14-07-2020: Updated received on my unlocked A71.
It's 1842,98MB
It's brilliant that Samsung keeps updating the A series but honestly (probably besides some security patches) there is nothing interesting in this update
I guess that for pictures and videos pro users already use filmic Pro, open camera or port of Google camera
The rest is just gimmick.

What? Prove it then. With links to my posts. I honestly can't recall complaining about this phone. No prove means you're just talking rubbish.
I did not complain about the apps, but I admit I complained about system apps not allowed to be removed (those additional from Samsung). But dude this is always the case with all phones besides android one
I will also complain about Samsung not letting the camera to be fully used by 3rd party apps (I can't get 60 fps videos, and when I set 120 fps, the phone records in 3 fps). Do you buddy think it's fair to purchase any thing and not be able to use it however the hell you want? Jeese... But again, very popular practice.
And now - hang on and sit down - other people complain about the latest system update not me - them. I've put on hold the update as I generally don't update anything.

If you put updates don't hold, don't complain when something else doesn't work as intended.

Dude, you don't even ready what I write or you constantly have problems understanding
What I point out is not due to software issues. It is all intended and common amongst manufacturers. Most can be fixed by AOSP (which we don't have) except the camera limitations. That's entirely Samsung.
Anyway, stop talking to me. Seems like you have no clue...

Well you are right in one way ?
I've seen you complain about system apps and the Google framework in it's entirety, but yeah. Obviously I don't have a clue right? ?
You want an Android One device, buy one. Simple as that.

Can you guys please make a new thread and don't spam this one with your discussion? Thank you
As for updates , my UK unlocked A71 is still on April 1 update , I know the A 71 will get updates in a " big " lump.. every quarter, but I would prefer incremental updates, rather than a huge update .. if it ever gets here .. i want to to keep stock , romed before ... done it .. hence keep stock

No it was fab , got want I wanted etc.. but I've been there done that, it was good, but took time. hence now just want " out of the box" with nova launcher. It's even helped me get full java games, apps, etc on my Chromebook .
That's why I'm still here, as they say " once you tweak you can never turn back!!"
Being new to Samsung and how they update their devices, how long does it usually take for the update to hit all channels/versions of the phone? I have the Panama version of the A71 and have not yet received the update. Just curious as to what to expect so I don't have to spam the update button throughout the day.
