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.

Were you on the beta? Or B360 via firmware finder? What is your current build number? Thanks.
not on beta. i just used the built in updater. try hisuite
build # bln-l24c567b360
B360 is not a stable build. I just got 2 random reboots and huge battery drain i had to reset the damn phone. i was a samsung user never had a problem with there firmware... this so bad huawei.
its been stable for me so far
I received Honor 7x a few days ago, it came in version L21C432B102 and since then has not had any more updates.
Using the Firmware Finder I have seen that your latest version is B123.
So far no OTA update has come for me, anyone else with this problem? Do you have a solution?
Sorry for my bad English

I had L21C432B101 and managed to upgrade to B102 using firmware finder, but no other update will install that is a b102 to b1xx firmware. I'm in the UK and bought the 7x direct from the Honor UK website.
Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk
For the L21C432 you can jump right into the Oreo beta if you want, using https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/manual-update-to-oreo-beta-emui-8-bnd-t3767044
Note the factory reset doesn't seem to be actually necessary.
I have the firmware BND-L21C432B102 too. I tried to install the next update which was approved for installation. This is BND-L21C432B130
It´s not possible to install the update.
I asked the honor support for updates. the said, that the next update for my phone is L21C432B124CUSTC432D002
The update will arrive in the next 90 days.

I don't know, but update version for L21 is so very very slowy, i read from other thread in Indian version on Oreo they have a face unlock (L24 or L10 i forgot), but in L21 they haven't. LOL
So i did a request on the Honor Support.
WTF. They replied 1h later! WOW.. Perfect.
So the Andorid Oreo 8.0 Update was launched for Europe (Germany and Austria) 26.05.2018.
But it could take 8 weeks for reaching every device. So i have to wait.
And if no update is coming i have to request again..
Guys i bought Nokia 6 2018 China version which they have mentioned it wont get OTA updates...can i change the ROM to international when it get released,

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 ?

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 bought Mi Max 3 with this Fake ROM V9.6.6.0.(OEDMIFD) and unlocked bootloader.
Is there any tutorial to flash chinese and then xiaomi.eu ROMS?
Is there a procedure to relock and unlock bootloader safely? it worth the effort and the wait of 720 hours?
I am thinking on flashing LineageOS when avaliable so i need the partitions and all things ok.
Thanks.

Something odd just happened
Ok, strange story to tell.Not expecting it on my phone.I'm running an unlocked 9.6.4.0 ..theoretical dodgy rom on my Chinese 128mb machine.It runs fine , i've had no problems with it...All of a sudden , just now, i got an official OTA update to 9.6.6.0. - the quote Xiaomi " Updates to improve speed and stability." Downloaded it ,fearing the worst and questioning my sanity in doing this.Anyways, I applied it , closed my Eyes and waiting for the reboot , visions of locking the device and going into a interminable boot loop , bricking the phone.Now pleasantly surprised as it's rebooted fine, seems to work correctly and more to the point.....it remains unlocked ! Just thought i'd let everybody know.
Does this mean the 9.6.4.0 was indeed not a dodgy rom in the first place ?
That's exactly what it means and some so called "experts" here still don't get it...
Your experience shows an important detail we wasn't sure about - no we know global rom is not restricted to global device version!
This week is a week of surprises.Spent just 24 hrs on 9.6.6.0 (see the Previous Post)...last night I got another OTA update from Xiaomi.It was the Official Miui 10 Global Rom (10.0.1.0 - OEDMIFH - Security patch 1/9/2018) .Again its working fine on my Chinese 128GB model....and again it remains unlocked.

Maybe because this is still in Beta stage.
The official stable version is still not released they sent out OTA update of the stable version to some devices for testing and after the feedback it will be officially sent out to all devices, so be careful that with the official release it might lock the bootloader.

Nothing new for European and American models, seems like Emui 9.1 is out for Chinese version tho. If what Honor said months ago stands true, we need to wait until June for a beta
the middle-east region (L21-c185) also got emui 9.1 on 4-22

How would we be able to sign up to that beta? I signed up to the Oreo beta last year but I never got it, I'm feeling a bit doubtful about how the beta is gonna be handled this time around.

Yes, keep it updated to the latest version. There will be an announcement of some sort, I expect quite a few regions to receive it, last time I was able to get into the beta program since my country was one of the few
I found 9.1 update for BND L24 on Firmware finder app. However it is not approved yet for install. So we can expect an update soon. Hopefully it comes before the Google restrictions on Huawei devices.

Do not trust the FF app right now. It has been showing an update to all models for emui 9.1 , but it does not show specific model number. And it is intended only for a pie to pie update. (beta update to full) and it has made a brick for everyone who jumped and installed it
Update name is shown like this
BND-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.117

Nice info, I actually tried to install that one with the manual dload method, didn't install tho.
There appears to be a new firmware available on Firmware Finder specifically for European models tho, other than that one, just appeared today
Eagerly waiting... would like to update to Pie... and also hope to use some real custom rom which is not in BETA
