Huawei GR5 2017 ( Honor 6X ) Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 beta

Huawei designed EMUI 5.0 based on newly released Android 7.0 beta update released for Huawei GR5 2017 :good: :good:
Huawei has launched the beta testing of the EMUI 5.0 which is based on Android 7.0 Nougat for the Huawei GR5 (2017). The latest software is still in beta that’s why the Chinese company is looking for testers before it gets officially released.
This update fixing one of the biggest complaints that we had with the phone – namely the bland and uninspiring UI. Android Nougat brings a lot of new things to the table, which includes better Doze implementation (which should result in even better battery endurance), better notification management and more.

Unlock bootloader still update normally. But im not sure about root. Try reflash stock B130 or B150 version & update again.
I'm come from Viet Nam. At this time we got info from Huawei FB about some people don't have update because Huawei have system mistake, they tell us "if anybody regist but have no update, email them to fix it.

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

Retgb? Any software update

Hi sorry if this has been asked before but new to the Moto g5 I purchased the device from Argos so it has the retgb software channel I have looked on Moto website and it doesn't give exact information about software update for UK g5 so I'm asking is there anything at all for the UK g5 there is no update what so ever stuck on 7.0 1st January patch

I've got the G5 3GB Dual Sim version from Amazon UK, also retgb, i'm on the same patch as you. Jan 2017.
Looking on the Motorola forum's, it seems our retail devices haven't been updated at all.

If there is no update when you select it from the about phone section then there is no update
Updates roll out in waves & is based on
Phone variant
Region
Retail or branded/carrier
Security update is available for some variants in certain regions
When will you get an update? No one at xda (or even Motorola support) would be able to tell you so no point in asking
Other than security patches there's no other improvements

They didn't ask when an update will come out, they asked if anyone had received an update on that channel. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable query to 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 ?

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?
