Bnd-l21c432b101 still no update

Hi guys,
Not sure what's going on but I'm not getting any updates whatsoever. I tried checking manually but to no avail. I also tried downloading the Huawei HiSuite App, there are software updates under my model number but it's saying it's not approved. WTH's going on? Does anyone have info on this?
Thanks,

Its random it seems. I just got it yesterday. Someone else on this forum said they got it last week but their wife didnt get it until this week even though they bought their phones at the same time and live in the same location. So there is no pattern it seems when it comes to the rollout.

I did a little research and B101 builds are not getting anything at all. Our security patch is still Oct 2017. And other builds, though not getting updates at the same time, still managed to get something. I don't wanna root and go to that route but after Q1 and still no updates, I'll probably do it.
B102 same situation.. I think moderators should get all this topics in the same.. because they are everywhere in the forum
I have L24 US version of Honor 7X. It was stuck at firmware B101. Always said "No update". Customer support could not help. I had a ATT Mexico SIM in it. As soon as I changed the SIM to T-Mobile US, it found updates B130 and B140. So update depends on SIM.
I also bought another Honor 7X that had already B130 and put in Movistar Mexico SIM and it found right away update B140. So it may be that only B101 needs a US Sim to update.
I hope this helps other people who are still stuck at original firmware B101.
Same here....
Just Nitty grittyy...
bought my device from Alie Express, In the back of the phone it is written BND-AL10
But in the settings it says BND-L21
I updated to BND-L21xxxxB102XXX
but no updates after that...
in hisuite & firmware finder both app, there are updates for the device but it says not authorized for installation.
Any Idea?
Hi,
I have the same problem. My Phonemodel is BND-21. Also on the back. I bought my device from Amazon.de. The huawei- support says, that the phone is from Spain. I'm in Austria. Next week I will talk to the support again and ask why I don't get updates.
If I have some time I'll make a factory reset and check for updates.

I'm now seeing a fullOTA update thru firmware finder for Orea and it's approved for installation, however, it's saying download fail to me.
I'm getting fed up.

AL10/L21?!

So today I noticed a weird thing about my Honor 7X..
On the back side of the phone it says I have the AL10 version of the phone but in the "About phone" section of the phone it says I have the L21 version..
Also, I got the 32GB Storage + 4GB RAM version of the phone which apparently doesn't even exist in the L21 version according to GSMarena.
What version of the phone do I have?
Is my phone a glitch in the matrix?
P.S. I still have the B101 update and I don't get any new updates, is that normal?
Same thing here. Bought mine on Aliexpress, converted from AL10 to L21. No updates. We're waiting for the Oreo firmware. Should fix things.
There's a method that allows you go back to the stock AL10 firmware but AL10 is Chinese, so you can't really enjoy it.
I have the same phone. No updates whatsoever.
I have bnd Al10 and I received the update today
You can put the version AL10C675 it is from India, and has playstore, does someone knows how to change software without have to change recovery?
Man how i love Xiaomi in this things.. you took miflash and boommm it is done!!
I have BND AL 10 and till date i have got 2 updates for my phone. I am from India. They will be pusing the oreo update in the 2nd quarter of the year.
Same for me. Al10 on the back, L21 in setings. I'll wait for the updates... Romania (Europe ?)

Any one here with build number 150 (BND AL10 C675 B150) Indian Version of Honor 7x?

Hi newbie here..Any one here with build number 150 (BND AL10 C675 B150) for Indian Version of Honor 7x?The build numbers that I have come across here in XDA and in firmware finder app are B141 and B160 (Face Unlock update). I have not received any OTA updates for quite sometime and security patch is dated 01.01.2018.I must add that I had bricked my phone (due to careless use of root access) around 3 weeks back and got stock ROM and Recovery flashed as well as Bootloader relocked from Huawei's Authorised Service Centre.Could anyone please throw some light regarding this situation ? Thanks..
I have the same build number BNDL10C675B150 after update from B130 . But i did not get face unlock on honor 7x after this update. Honor promise to give face unlock update by 18 March 2018. So I purchased this mobile on 16 march. But it is fake promise for sale promotion and sale maximising.
Also My all friend get B141 update then to B160/B161 (Face unlock) . I still do not get face unlock feature after 1 week from the given date. It is a case of fraud and cheating , to divert mind from other brands.
I request the company from mail to please give me update as soon as possible for face unlock.
Also i did not understand what have you done or brick or root ur phone but My mobile is safe and nothing has been changed to it.. it is in warranty so i prefer not to do anything with it. But Still no face unlock update.

Are you running stock rom? Is the bootloader unlocked or not?
I'm running the ROM that was on the device when I bought it. Bootloader was not unlocked.
EU version, today received (AT LAST!) 8.1
Downloading at the moment. Do not ask what is different, it is my son's phone.

Phone does not receive updates (Global Version)

Hi guys, I have the Mi A2 Lite from the end of December last year and the phone is blocked at the update of December 5, 2018, I contacted Xiaomi assistance 3 times from February to today because their answers were always "we withdrew the update for problems "or similar, in the end I discovered through IMEI1 and IMEI2 that my phone was initially intended for the papua new guinea, and according to Xiaomi I can't update the phone in any way. At this point the question is obvious to me "so if one makes a trip abroad and buys a Xiaomi when he returns home he remains screwed ?!"
Do you know how I can update my phone? I tried expressvpn but it didn't work.
Thank you in advance for your help guys, I hope that anyone of you have the solution. I bought this phone for my father too, it's his first smartphone and I wouldn't want to feel guilty about making a wrong purchase.

Hello DominikMorelli,
Good Day !
1st You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Latest Stock From MIUI Forum And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool.
Greetings !
Thanks,
MUHAMMAD Asif Qasim

AFAIK unlocking the bootloader doesn't void warranty on AndroidOne devices, of course after you relock the bootloader. Because there is no way of knowing that it has been unlocked/flashed etc.

Yes You Are Absolutely Right. Bootloader Should Be Locked After Flashing The ROM Or In Flashing Time.
thank you guys
One last question, with this operation I will lose the data on the phone? if so I make a backup.

Yes DominikMorelli, You Will Lose The Data As Unlocking Bootloader Does Erase The Data.
