I was confused by seeing a new firnware version at huawei website places 5th of august 2016 that ends with C636B320 and if i google that it looks like it could be android 6.0?
There is no version number written on the website:
http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/products/downloads/detail/ascend-g7-my.htm?id=86353
I tried installing it on my phone but I always get installation failed, maybe because my phone is from a different region..
Anyway would be great if they bring an official android 6 update for our G7!
The firmware you linked to is Lollipop.
Android 6.0 is currently only official in Turkey and China, but we are still waiting for the European version to be released.
Unfortunately, we don't know how long we will need to wait for it, if it is ever released.
Also, you are correct that you are unable to install the update since you are only able to install updates from your own region, or carrier (if your device is branded).
Ok I see, a download link of 6.0 is availible on this site, but will probably not work because of different region..
But I will try it, i'm dowloading it now.
Was it successfull? I am still waiting for this update to be released for european devices.

Trying to update GRAL09-C470B210 from Android 5.0.1 and Emui 3.1 to Android 6 and Emui 4. For starters. If there's more to update even better. I've looked all over the threads and can't find my build and model and the update. I've looked on Huawei's website. I've done the phone Emui update search (no updates). Firmware Finder only has the GRA-L09 C470B210 OTA listed.
I'm new to updates so don't understand all the root and bootlog lingo.
Help!
C470 would indicate South-East Asia or Southern-Pacific (Aus/NZ) region - is this right? Also, is it Vodafone-branded by any chance?
If yes to both above, then Vodafone may not have released a Marshmallow (Android 6) update for the P8 in your area.
If you wanted, it is possible to manually update to a non-branded European firmware version (C432) if you like (see Steve039's post HERE dated 2016-Apr-24), & keep updating manually from then on, but I'm not sure how this is done safely (usually it's not recommended to update directly from one region's firmware to another, but it seems to work fine for some. Also, if it's a branded phone, then it usually also needs to be debranded before updating).
Once you are on a non-branded European firmware version (B200 or greater), you can update to the latest Marshmallow version, which is B393 at present: [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09 B393 27/02/17
It was purchased from eBay a few years ago as an International model. It is unbranded. I think it was either from a seller either in Hong Kong or Taiwan. I don't recall specifically. The hardware version is Grace UL VN1 if that makes any difference. It is unlocked. But I have never rooted it. I had updated it once, but did not keep track of what the actual update was for. I think it was to update to the B210 designation. Thank you for your help, I will look into the Euro conversion and see if it's something that I can do. I definitely want to update at least to Android 6.
No problem, I've done a search & can confirm for the Taiwanese version, B210 was the last official update released for the GRA-L09: http://consumer.huawei.com/tw/support/downloads/index.htm?keyword=GRA-L09
So, you should go for the European version if you are able to safely update to it. Make sure to make a restorable data backup (of texts, contacts, photos, etc as applicable) before attempting the update.
So, since my phone is unbranded, I should be able to switch to the European firmware, just above the B200, then make the jump all the way to the latest firmware?
And this would be done via a Local Update, correct?
I'm reading through everything in the meantime, thanks for all your help.
Yes, should be possible, but don't try anything for now until I (or someone else) can confirm it's safe to do & the procedure to follow.
The procedure may involve initially unlocking the bootloader & rooting your phone, but more on that later.
Hello, i wish to update to the latest version of EMUI. I currently have L21C02B123 and i found this site http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=VNS-L21C02 that currently has the full latest B329.
The last time i tried it it wasn't verified package or whatever, is there something i can do to flash to latest official ? i don't want to flash bootloader etc
Hi there, it seems Samsung would like to share the Oreo Beta with us. CHC Branding required and Beta app
its Android 8.0.0 (OPR1.170623.032.G9550ZCU2ZQL8)
Details on Pictures below
Oreo Beta
Could you do a system pull and boot img pull from your device and upload?
Hi bruh, how did you get Oreo for G9550? I just got a used galaxy s8+ (g9550) yesterday. Still on Nougat 7.0, build number NRD90M.G9550ZHU1AQG6, with baseband version G9550USQU1AQGL.
I have no luck checking the system update menu. I'm not living in China/Hongkong, I guess that's why I don't get the update. Is it possible for me to update it manually? I mean like flashing through odin?
I am in China, bought the G9550 in HK, and I am also on 7.0, not getting any ota updates.
Seems strange, because if you check their official website, you can see they have the Oreo manuals for G9550 already.
Hi. I also bought SM-G9550 and I live in Poland. It is shame that for a such a big market oreo update is still not available... Do you know if there is any altrenative in already available builds that will work on this one?
So as most of us know if you update to latest bit 7 firmware you are unable to install the U unbranded firmware. Was just wondering if now that the Combination firmware for bit 7 is available, will someone be able to find a solution?
Thanks

May not matter. A new update should be dropped next month. Not only does it update the Sprint bootloader (no surprise), but also the U firmware bootloader. It would put the U; Sprint; and T-Mobile on b8. Based on previous version history, should drop around mid-November. It will be the October update and they usually push them the month after in the US.

Hey all sorry to bother you but I can't install the update for my OPPO F1s. System Update states it is the latest version although it isn't, when I press the "Features" button it says "No Version Info"
When I try to manually update through recovery it states the same thing. I haven't updated the phone before as it's never asked even though I bought it the week the OPPO F1s was released in Australia. As far as I can tell it (With my extremely limited knowledge) it seems as though I don't have an official stock rom on my phone although I've never tampered with it.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated as although not urgent it does worry me as I realised I may have bought a phone with some kinda of virus on it without realising and I've used it for a couple of years.
#UPDATE#
Turns out the firmware is oddly labelled but I figured out that the phone had been updated with stock 6.0 rom and the 5.1 rom has been updated since but the 6.0 was considered beta, hence so feature info.
Tracked down the latest 6.0 update I could find and installed it and BAM phone is back to normal with the plus-side of having a clean install. Sorry to bother you all with this.
Which firmware you have installed?
A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227 is it this?
Oppo Customer Care (India) advised users of F1s that no OTA update for 6.0 would be pushed and anyone wishing to update will have to go to service centre. Did that and it seems they too have installed the beta 6.0 ROM which says no version info. Version number : A1601EX_11_D.102_170923 (Security Patch June 2017)
Apparently the stable 6.0 update available for Indian users is version : A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227. But I am not sure whether it will update through recovery. Will try and let you know
i know two years have passed but im facing the same problem and i cant find the latest update of 6.0, can you link me there?pls
