There is a system update for boost mobile j7.. im thinking sprint and virgin mobile got the same update.. i posted this in the stock recovery for boost mobile but i dont think many will read it so ill make this little thread for it.. i didnt know there was one until i went into settings, system update, check for updates and it was there... its mainly a security update but the kernel and recovery and baseband/radio and bootloader got updated as well and android security level patch to june 1st.
Update available on Virgin Mobile. Not going to update just yet in hope that somewhere, someone is working on a recovery for J700P, and this update ruins their progress.

I just searched this forum so if I somehow missed it please accept my apologies. Anyway, on both my own and my wife's AT&T GS7E when I tell it to check for updates it says I am up to date. However when I go to the About Device section of both phones it's on 6.0.1 with a security patch level of February 1, 2016. So correct me if I'm wrong--but if we bought these in early March this means neither one has EVER taken an OTA update, right? If so, why does the device say that everything is up-to-date?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Call AT&T tech support. They can probably push the missing updates to your phones.
I had a similar issue with updates stuck on February update I tried everything including factory resetting and cache clearing I finally had to go to my local Best Buy Samsung experience and have them force the update they were able to load the July update and 2 days later it automatically pulled the August update; that ended up fixing it.
This probably the only way to fix your issue.

You're going to have to flash the unlocked firmware for the G935U via ODIN. Works like a charm if you don't use the At&t network
Hi all.
I just noticed there's new firmware. Has anyone updated yet? In using an XT1572.
I'm rooted etc... So I can't quite simply update.
Should I be flashing the last stock firmware i have and then update? The last fastboot I have is the February patch, but my phone is on the May patch. Whatever firmware i flashed gives me another language in the update notification screen...lol.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'll just do my thing blindly.

After your post, I rechecked the update service on my phone (xt1572 also). I got also new update here, but right now I cant do update (rooted + xposed). WIll try later, but I suppose that there is just new security patch. Strange that I got another version..
EDIT:
fount out Motowebpage
it look like the only improvements are - September security patch there.
Is the update for India dual sim xt1572?
I've installed the update today. The download size was about 40 MB, so seems to be a small patch indeed. I can confirm that it contains the september security patch, haven't noticed anything else yet.
I do think it's a shame that Moto is lacking so much in the update department lately. This is a security patch of two months ago... Also I would have expected them to have news on Nougat by now, at least for their Moto Z family...
6.0.1 ? at the time of 7.0?

it's not 6.0.1 update it's only security patch, we already had 6.0.1 in eu for a while
Has someone already tried the update with Flashfire? Im Rooted, on Frankenclark and Xposed. Does anyone know if we can get a flashable zip to flash in TWRP? To much work to go back to Stock, update and install everything again. Is the patch it worth?
Sent from my XT1572 using XDA-Developers mobile app
can someone upload full firmware for retasia? thx
We have to wait for Moto to release/leak the firmware image, the OTA zip won't do any good... This usually takes 2-4 weeks, sometimes more, to get the factory image. Be patient.
BTW, it is nothing special, all it does is patch to the Sept 1, 2016, security update, including Dirty Cow (which if you have been following the security threads is pretty much worthless on Lollipop and newer devices anyway)

No root hotspot works on nougat & heres how to make it work because sprint patches it
This is what I did to get hotspot working!!! Long story short I was on a NOT ROOTED android 6.0 PGH or something like that signed up for samsung beta and took the 1st beta update which is android 7.0 version PKC and everything was working buttery smooth and then there was another beta ota update which is android 7.0 version PKK and when I took that update sprint actually patched the hotspot trick (rebooting phone to quickly turning on the hotspot) and btw im the one that originally discovered that trick when sprint grayed out the editing of APNs and I actually discovered that hotspot trick by complete mistake and frustration not going to lie lmaooo if you check that hotspot thread for the s7 edge youll see my post on that so yall welcomes lol anyways sprint patched the hotspot trick on version PKK so I found something on google where you can downgrade your android version using samsungs smartswitch for pc NOT THE ONE IN THE PLAYSTORE just google smartswitch for pc and link should pop up..I was able to downgrade my android version 7.0 using smartswitch back to 6.0 but the hotspot trick was still patched for whatever reason. I went into setting information about me about phone and it was the android version and baseband that I was originally on before I took the 1st beta update but hotspot didnt work..so I was pissed as hell and was like sprint finally got me after tethering their services for free since the OG htc evo first came out LOL..so I was like I'll update to nougat and call at&t in the morning to have them install a modem into my apartment. However I signed up for samsung beta a second time and took the 1st beta update and trying out my luck I tested the hotspot trick and it works!!!??? so when you take that 1st beta update I guess you have to stay on it to continue using hotspot because PKK patches it and if your already on PKK just get smartswitch for pc and do what I did..yall welcomes and be blessed peoples and sorry for the long rant lol AND PLEASE HIT THAT THANKS METER???

Not that useful cause you need to leave the Beta and risk losing your nougat firmware. Only way I'd try this is if I was desperate for hotspot. Thanks anyway.
Yeah im running a beta nougat and its not the official firmware but who says I have to leave beta if its running buttery smooth on my device therefore I'd be losing nothing??
Just for the purpose of tracking the rolling out process in the north America region, let's try collecting some date information when you receive the rollout. The process of this upgrade could become a helpful guideline for future upgrade events in the region! Models L04 and L14 might be involved. Let's also comment on your state, wireless service provider, if you are in the beta group and when you got the phone to see if anything is correlated.

Thank you!
Now, on the official Honor_USA social account, https://twitter.com/Honor_USA, N is coming on Feb 11th. Period.
Update: from Rox_honor, it's officially released on Feb 10th in the US. Some people have had this update already.
To force the update, you can check the method posted on Page 2, #16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70992090&postcount=16.
Reserve for updating statistics, if possible. Again, the Google Spreadsheet to fill out is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to add more columns if you think they are helpful.
So far it seems that only T-Mobile users are getting the update. Just tried to update my Mom's phone, we are on Cricket (AT&T) and there was no update for her. Tried putting it on airplane and restarting but still nothing. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

There is one entry reporting received the update while on Straight Talk. We need to have more data in order to figure out the rollout sequence. GOOD LUCK!
i purchased the Unlocked Honor 8 from US (amazon). But I'm an indian user and I'm using it with an indian carrier . will i get the update as the other north american devices or do i have to wait longer
Did not get the update (FRD - L04)
But I forgot whether or not the L04 is international or US (i live in the US though)
yeah i havent gotten it either still says no updates available
I haven't received the update either on L04. I read on the other thread that it rolls out in small batches.
Edit: Here's the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70964112&postcount=392
Nothing on L04 AT&T yet. Purchased from NewEgg and first activated in December.
Got it 3 weeks ago. L04 from b&h.
Bought it unlocked at Frys a week ago and received the update yesterday. I just want to caution all rooted and unlocked users! I received the update yesterday and upgraded it like a fool. I cant get into twrp recovery and the stock recovery seems to be broken. I even installed a newer twrp thru fastboot but im still not able to go into recovery. Im looking through all the forums but no one seems to have this problems yet. Im still waiting on some help if anyone has a solution. So please be aware before updating. Hopefully Im the only one with this problem.

Ahh, I was an idiot and had the same thing.
What happened is that I was rooted, and installed via Charles app, and it bugged out.
The reason for that is that TWRP can't install the stock ROM.
You need to get into fastboot, and reflash the stock recovery, and use it to dload the emui 4.1 file. Make sure you get the full package version.
After that it will be all wiped. You might run into a few errors but let the recovery do its thing.
You'll eventually be able to boot into the OS and then run the update normally.
I want to root my honor 8 on nougat, but I'm waiting for a patch from Huawei first because of all the bugs, just because of this.
Also I don't think rooting the honour 8 on nougat works that we'll yet, hopefully someone comes up with a method that doesn't suck so hard.
Hopefully they'll do it quickly.
Do you mind pointing me to the right direction to find those files? stock recovery and the 4.1.
Ive seen the rollback files... is that what you're talking about?

I used the firmware finder tool for it. You can get it for Windows. It's somewhere around the forum, but you can probably Google it.
Once you get the full package you can extract the recovery.img from it.
Unlocked FRD-L04 bought from Amazon. Living in Argentina. Got update yesterday. Really happy with it.
Folks, if you are impatient, you can use the Firmware Finder to send the Firmware B360 (I am using the Jan 3 one) to your Updater for a full package update. More information can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/news-huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3550882
A few notes here from my personal experience:
1. Once you set up the proxy from the Finder's proxy app which should be downloaded after you enabled the "send firmware to updater" (check notification afterward), you then click on the latest firmware # and "send firmware to updater".
2. On the Setting/Updater, click the menu and use "Download full update package", which should direct you to a 2.27Gb package (not the 1.28Gb package, or you will not be able to login!) and click on the "Quick update" button. You may need to wait for a while to see this option. Up to now, you may not be able to download anything yet.
3. Go back to the wifi setting and turn on proxy setting to "None" again and reconnect with the wifi network. Now you should pause the Updater and then resume it. You should now be able to download the full package and install it.
4. After all the update process, it could be helpful to charge your phone without the screen turning on. This is told to be useful to optimize the battery performance immediately after the update. The phone might be slow in a couple of hours as optimizations are going on in the background. But everything will become normal afterward
Good luck!
bought L04 from newegg using it in Pakistan no update for me as of yet
This is all bulls*it. Same update we got in january, and by the way, it's buggy.
L04 here, bought from Amazon about a month ago. Running on T-Mobile US. Still no update yet.
Is there any way to change the white notification background? I prefer the old color scheme, Mich easier on the eyes at night.

I cant update my nokia 5. I tried to root my device. But it gonna soft brick. Then I flash my phone from nokia customer care. After that I never security patch or system update. I've used security patch december 2018. Please help me.
-Thank you.
I also do not have the update yet, probably because it's still not available for my region.
I'm not so sure about yours, as you have tried to root it.. But if you indeed flashed your phone with a fresh os, then that may not be the case.
