is not possible to install, say: "...Server not available to validate the update.."

Niiiice! What does that DNS do exactly? Why does it trigger the download?

Damn, I just finished the download right now and it says "Server temporarely not available, try again later" if you keep the modified WiFi connection, but if you revert back it says that it can't be validated and deletes it :crying::crying:
So close yet so far!

Don't work

Doesn't work. Server unavailable

I'm downloading it but it is very very slow
Inviato dal mio MHA-L29 utilizzando Tapatalk

Download is working but verification is going wrong because the verification server is unreachable. Looks like we have to wait a little longer...

Same here, downloaded then failed to verify.. Hope someone finds a solution soon.. We need this update badly, specially the notification changes pay off it..

Note: I'm running the DNS, and I never asked for it to be made public to users of the non-Chinese version. There are issues still yet to be worked out, and just because the update appears doesn't mean it will install. I hope that OP will remove the DNS information so as to not lead people to failure, and wait for an official announcement for me about services I'm providing.
To be clear, I asked the OP to pull the information because it doesn't work! With that said, if anyone tries using my DNS and goes to eRecovery, I've had one person try and it was a failure, but you might be successful.

No problem. Were you successful with this method? Did the update install? I think it's important to make sure it works well before posting publicly, just to avoid problems.

No, not work finally.
Seeing the download getting started made me think it was ok.

OTA involves a final check with encrypted information to Huawei's server before install. eRecovery doesn't involve this check. But from what I have learned, they both fail. I only have a Chinese model to test on, but it fails on the Chinese model too. There is one build of European firmware which does not fail, but it's older than the one everyone wants to install (B115). When I have more information, I will make a post.

OTA available in France.

Right... No Hurry....
The way it is right now on my other devices, I hope Huawei takes his time and makes it for it properly.
I have Lollipop on my Nexus 5 but I dont like it too much. It has trouble in the duration of the battery and there are several features that are not going as expected. I wanted to go back to 4.4. but you can not!
Once installed, you can't return easily.
I recommend patience and see how this Huawei version works!

Sorry for offtopic but nexus is the easiest device to go back to 4.4.4!! Just download the factory image from Google and install via ADB. Yes it will wipe your device, but its possible. Try to downgrade a Samsung phone...
Ontopic: i tried to find the facebook posts from huawei where they say "its coming (soon ™)". I cant find them!
Sorry but there wont be a lollipop Rom from huawei in the next weeks... CM or slimrom would be nice.
Is this for real?

Hitting the update button will not speedup the OTA update process, besides that there is allready a firmware thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/huawei-mate-9-firmware-t3509865.
My bad, I thought that was a generic firmware thread. Anyhoo, clicking update is what kicked mine off, even though I have automatic downloads via wifi enabled.

No problem, but your update was available for your device. You can`t kick it off or force a OTA unfortunately when your device isn`t selected.
Guys can anyone with the B126 update share a screen shot of the changes in the notification panel and possibly camera samples of the updated camera.
Thanks in advance

Shield Tablet Firmware Update 5.1 Android N

I'm using RoW LTE on my US-LTE device and I just received the 5.1 update 5 minutes ago. I'm excited to see some improvements. It seems launcher 3 crashes were one of the most dominant problem of 5.0. good thing I'm always using Google now.
If someone has finished installing theirs, how's the experience so far?

I just got the update and install it on my rooted and unlocked Nvidia Shield ORIGINAL Tablet. The update downloaded and successfully installed through TWRP, that said I’m pretty sure I lost root but that's easy enough to get back.
Update: You have to reinstall custom recovery. Also my device has seemed a bit laggy, it took about 15 seconds for my virtual keyboard to pop up to make this post.

I tried that using the URL pattern from Android M but I couldn't get the right changes. Maybe others will have better luck.
Btw, for those who have installed it, the new update messed up my TWRP. Just re-flash it.
After flashing TWRP and wiping cache and dalvik, it became quite laggy. Weird. I'll let it "settle" for a while.
I guess no matter how much this device gets updated, it can never escape the occasional lags. I suspect that these are caused by Nvidia apps. I wonder why nobody has called out this phenomenon yet.
Or maybe, it's about time that Nvidia release some technical docs for the geniuses of XDA to be able to make their own mods or improvements.
I received it some hours ago on Original LTE model.
Tablet is very smooth, 98 500 on antutu in performance mode.

Android Security: 5th of june.
Haven't figured out what else changed yet.
It was ~200mb larger than previous update (B182) so something else should've changed too.
On-Body Detection seems to be something new.
Apparently it can detect your "body" and stay unlocked when you're holding/carrying the phone, and will lock when you set it down somewhere.
"On-body detection can't always distinguish between you and someone else. If someone takes your device while it's been unlocked, they might be able to access it."

Hi! I have the C432B182 right now, the only way to update was via Firmware finder and the proxy addon. Updated about a month ago from B126 to B182 with the full ota, all stock, no root either.
Now, in firmware finder i have the B184 update, not B185. I have the L09 c432 europe single sim. Did anyone receive that B184 o recommend to wait for the B185 version to be available?
As i read here, the changelog is very repetitive but there must be some changes apart from security update to June.
Thanks in advance!

It popped up as one of those to-do things at the top in Settings (Where it asks you to customize wallpaper etc.)
I can't find it other than that to-do...
It was named Smart Lock something. And is apparently a Lollipop feature so it's not really new. But I haven't seen it before.
I wiped everything before flashing so it didn't keep any old settings.

You can run 'md5sum' on glgps4774 and check the Broadcom string version.
This data for 2 previous versions was posted in the GPS thread before.

Not sure how to get the string version, but md5 does not match the other ones in that thread.
Code:
HWMHA:/vendor/bin # md5sum glgps4774

Edit: Checking in nano I get this: Broadcom GLL ver. 64.19.20 279029
Same version as B182.

Modifies the exchange of WiFi data faster and adds a new notice in the upper bar when that exchange happens to continue with the synchronization And i think it improves the 6x zoom of the camera.

Dude, I'm waiting too for my TWN DS. Can't even imagine, that they roll pie after one year of release out.
I can always install beta version. It's already out for a couple of weeks for h870ds. Using it now, but Google Pay won't work since the firmware is not certified.

I haven't noticed the topic is about V870ds, I was talking about H870ds. Please keep that in mind. And also I warn you that all following actions are risky and users are doing it at their own risk. For more information about upgrading to pie check this russian forum.
0. Back up the data of your phone
1. You have to install Australian firmware 20q (Australia H870DS20q_00_OPEN_AU_DS_OP_0802.kdz) via LG UP using Download Mode (you can also use UPPERCUT)
You can download the firmware here
1a. It is recommended to factory reset the phone after upgrading (though I didn't do that, works fine but still)
2. Download the FOTA update file (again I warn you that it is a beta firmware!!!) from here . Use LG UP or UPPERCUT to flash the firmware in the "FOTA update" mode (again pay attention to the flashing mode, it must be change to FOTA update)
3. It is done, you're now on pie
P.S. In case you missed the beginning: you are doing that at your own risk. Google pay might not work on Pie since the firmware is not yet certified. KEEP IN MIND IT'S A BETA
Also I strongly recommend to check the manual on the russian forum
