So can I just flash those update files with TWRP and be good to go?

I don't know if that's the stable or not, I've had that version for over a week now.

My update says C567?

I used the teammt firmware finder and, clicking on "Check Firmware Access" get "The firmware is not approved for installation."
This, I believe, means that it's not official.
We can expect the OTA to be pushed in stages, just like the beta, but, hopefully, it'll be complete by end of day this time.

Why would it be available if it's not official? I don't get that lol. The app is a little funky.

How long did the staged release of the beta take? Can we expect the update within hours, days, or weeks do you all think?

I'd say weeks, but that is just a hunch based on my experience with the rollout of the previous two patches... Once again, it would have been nice when Honor USA announced it that they didn't just say "Coming April 30" but instead were a bit more honest about how the release was being pushed out.

They shoyld have said that it will be around a certain week or something cause the frustrating lag is killing me badly and i even have a Oneplus 5t...but still is the worst lag i have seen in since 2013

I think the released update file are for update from oreo beta to oreo stable.
My first attempt to manually flash the update failed to flash the data files, only did the system update. It left me with odd build number and missing the new face-unlock feature.
I installed a second time , from the half installed oreo , and this time it completed fully. Also changed install script to use original file names instead of shortened names.
If anyone does this also please note that you will need to use the oreo flash update section as you will already be on oreo .

I used the update oreo section from my guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649
It was not 100% working. I am not sure if it was the shortened update-file names or because the update files are for beta update.
The update fails at about 70-80% --during the data_update and hw_update-- and then I needed to do factory reset.
After booting into half updated oreo I updated again using same guide, but used the flash update section for oreo.
And I modified the updater-binary to use the full name of updates instead of the shortened names.
Might be able to use full names on nougat update section too, but I was already in oreo, so could not test.

East coast here and so far just crickets.
I'm not worried about it because my 7x is fast and solid so far. Loving this phone since I bought it in January.
It just sucks that there's all this hype about the Oreo release coming Monday and you get all excited and ... Then you fell frustrated

Well some group is getting it(probably beta testers), because it is on firmware finder

China has a holiday right now. I think they come back to work on the 2nd maybe that's why no update. Im guessing I have no idea.

How should he if there is none? It's a ~350mb update, that's usually just a security update with maybe some bugfixes.

So did it OTA anywhere?

Customized CH did, indeed.

Silly question : Would an update, like this one, need to update with previous versions first before upgrading to this one ? I'm asking this because here in the UK, I'm still with the Customized UK 47.1.A.16.20. And I've never had any Pie update available displayed on my phone.
Several versions have been dispatched to other zones in the world, including several for different UK providers but then hang in the middle of the roll out. Plus in the Support > Software section of my G8441, it says in the "Next Android version" sub section : "No new Android version planned yet".
It looks weird, isn't? Not to mention after Sony started to roll out their very first Pie firmware for the G8441, my Xperia Companion said a new Software version was available, with no description, no firmware version number, and when trying to download it, Xperia companion crashed and needed to restart. Few hours later, when opening it again, the 'New Software' notification disappeared. Since then my phone displays "No new Android version planned yet".
Is this related ?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the half off-topic...

I too have the customized UK phone, and nothing here either

Does someone know which .sin files to exclude if I want to install the new firmware (I already have Pie) with newflasher but want to keep my existing settings, apps and data?
I know that persist*.sin should be excluded to avoid losing android assets keys and userdata*.sin also I guess by the name. Anything else?
I have an unlocked bootloader with DRM keys backed up and restored with Customized CH 47.2.A.2.33 installed. I also have flashed the secd patch so the phone offers OTA update, but I know it won't work with the bootloader unlocked.

Came OTA in Switzerland. Update worked like a charm and I don't see any changes except for December security patch.

Updates don't work like that. If you have the CH ROM, you'll get the OTA for that. If you have UK rom, you'll get the UK rom update regadless of the place you are in.
You can manually flash a different rom customization (uk, ch, nordic etc) and then het updates for that one. I don't know if there are some disadvantages doing that though, as some customizations might have specifoc stuff for some countries / carriers.

I do have CH. I flashed CH manually a long time ago, as I was not getting any updates (missed several months) on my DE. I have gotten many regular OTAs since and did a few resets. But I did not get any of the Pie versions. I thought maybe it is actual location...

I'm in the UK boat, I've been a Sony user since the Xperia arc and I've certainly had some long waits for software updates but I can't remember seeing so many versions released without the UK sim free getting any of them. Can't see my next phone being Sony now.

From what I am deducting all around the web (Sony forums, XDA, 4pda) just keep Oreo and don't bother seeing the number 9 instead of the 8 in the about section of your phone.
I had the OTA update notification for a few weeks, neved installed and eventually it disappeared because Sony has shut down the updates as of Pie bugs reported in their forums.
I am still on latest Oreo and I am going to keep it until I see a totally polished Pie, and it will take months!
Apart from slowmo 960fps in FullHD I truly do not see any reason to update, because the cons are more than pros.
Sure, security patches will be up to date, but does anyone feel the difference having a few month outdated patches? The security is in the hands of the user.
Sent from my XZ1 Compact using XDA Labs

about updating without loosing any data (as same as it was)
I just remove all. . Ta files and IF you want to keep like it was dont Flash userdata or appslog..

Just updated.. Use to go with MY Malaysia version

They are in the early days for Android 9 Pie. And Sony is one of the first companies to release pie updates. It's buggy, which is the usual after updating to a new major android version. The previous version 47.2.A.2.33 was not even completely rolled out before this current version started rolling out. I'm sure the usual rollout schedule will continue as the software matures.

Regarding update firmwares you can get them from ASUS support page all of them will stay there when they are added. So no need to upload them somewhere else. Unless someone else would like to share the files, i would be happy to add the links to the first page.

Personally i love the Oreo Rom on the ROG more than the Pie Rom of the ROG 2, overall i think the Oreo Rom is polished compared to the half baked Pie Rom. The physical size of the ROG phone is just perfect in hand compared to the ROG 2. Other than that they are pretty much a like except for the obvious hardware differences. I was thinking of selling the ROG since i got the ROG 2 but i am keeping both until something better comes a long and then i might sell the ROG phone. But to be honest out of all the phones that i have bought and used these 2 phones are my favorite.

You can check the photos it's for the CN rom. I am still on the stock CN rom. I haven't tempered with the phone yet waiting to see if flashing the WW rom will still get updates.
But if someone has flashed the WW rom over the CN and still not able to get OTA it doesn't necessarily mean he will not get OTA, generally speaking the CN rom gets faster updates than the WW rom.

Hello,
the CN version is full of Chinese apps as you can realize... there are the themes, yes and also several additional eye-candies but the user experience is really poor for the CN language. Also with that, no updates...
I guess the best it will a custom rom with the spoofed fingerprint to get security patches at least.

Got an official reply from Zentalk forum.
WW users can flash the TW version. But I am not sure if you can go back to WW...I think it should be possible.

Still waiting for RAW. Hopefully it'll be soon

Ok, i have updated my phone today. Root still exist, entire update last about 1 minute. Everything works fine. We will see in a couple of days how bad this update is

I upgraded to A11, too.
Seems to run well so far. Better than A10 so far.

Broken 120hz. Was iffy not sure was the update or always been like that, messed with sleeping phone then suddenly ok....

still no update for RAW >.>

With a ww fingerprint, can I use manual update to update my Tencent phone to this version from a10 or do I need to use raw?

Updated link for CN.

Been almost half a year but RAW never came out :*(

True, I've been waiting for RAW too. I'm still on an early version of A9, pretty bad. maybe i should raw flash to A10.
