Mate8 to get 7.0 on December 7th (China) - Mate 8 General

Hey, you that want 7.0, depending where you are, MAY get it on Wednesday, December 7th, IF this article is correct.
Says the P9 & Mate8 rollout 7.0 is for the "Chinese market". Mate8 build B552.
Like I said, it's just a leak from another site.

İt's written in form. Î have made. İt's very easy. But DONT FORGET to backup your documents likes photografs. All internal data will be deleted after rolling back. Also even you rolled back you couldnt get beta firmware because of that you registered as b321. Than best way to wait offical version.

Beta is an early build of EMUI 5.0 for Huawei Mate. That’s why it appears to be having issues with Bluetooth, Keyboard input, Permissions, Notifications, Dual SIM Option and SIM compatibility, among other bugs.
You'd to wait for Official Stable Version.

B321 itself is beta rom for EMUI 4.1, if you want to receive future OTA update you should probably rollback to B211 or whatever is the newest EMUI 4.0 for L09C636. Instruction for rollback can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1CSheVDH0
Don't expect official (stable) C636 nougat update to be released in a few days. They have just started another round of EMUI 5.0 beta test for the C636 earlier this month, I know because I'm one of their beta testers. It takes time for them to collect responses from beta testing and polish the final version.

Thanks for informing strange also that not more beta testers is here to tell us the current status.
Can you tell me was it a lot of stuff that needed to be fixed in the beta version before this one ?

This rollback is for the L29 version,not for L09 I think.

According to a comment from the video it also works on the L09, but I cannot confirm because I only have L29. I think you just need to find the suitable L09C636 firmware for the final step, the rest should be the same.
You can use an app called firmware finder on the play market to download L09C636 firmware.

Current beta is close to the final product, it is as functional as the B321 and I use it as daily driver, only some minor bugs. I don't think the wait will be too long.

I wonder what you are doing on this forum still being on 4.0. 4.1 is stable AND official for a long time now. I assume you're talking about EMUI because latest official Android is 5.0
This is all about hobby and most people here know that and take (calculated) risks just for fun. I am on Nougat and I am happy with it but I can fully understand when you stick to what you have.
It is indeed silly that naïve people get advice to reset and on 1 of april you should be aware of that but this one was bad taste.

Android 7 Nougat Update Schedule & Release Date: When's Your Phone Getting It?
Huawei Android Nougat Update
Huawei has come in leaps and bounds during the past 18 months. It was also one of the first handset makers to get an Android Marshmallow phone out — the AWESOME Huawei Mate 8 shipped with Android 6 during November, just one month after Google released the software.This puts Huawei in very good stead, as it is confirmed to be updating its Mate line at exactly the same time this year — November. If this happens, an entirely plausible potential, then Huawei would have one of the first, save for Google’s Nexus phones, Android N phone on market.Expect the Huawei P9 and Mate 8 to get the same treatment during December at the earliest.On November 16, leaked details have provided some information of when the Huawei Mate 8 will be updated to Android Nougat. The firm has already launched the Mate 9 with Nougat pre-installed, so in many respects it's a matter of Huawei tweaking things to be backwards compatible with the older model. The update has not been rolled out officially for the Mate 8, but it has been discovered uploaded onto Huawei's servers. XDA Developer forum users have downloaded the files and installed them on their Mate 8 units. As well as all the Nougat features and updates, the new version brings a fresh build of Huawei's Emotion UI straight from the Mate 9 (version 5.0). This includes a new app drawer option and better multi-window functionality for multitasking several apps at once on the handset's big screen.On December 1, Huawei has now revealed the extent of its plans for Android Nougat updates. As previously leaked, the company has now confirme that Android Nougat will arrive bundled with version 5.0 of the EMUI software. A specific date has not been confirmed, but Huawei has said Q1 2017 will see a rollout begin for its range of Android devices. Handsets which will be updated include the Huawei Mate 8 and Huawei P9 in the first wave, subsequently followed by the Huawei P9 Plus, Huawei P9 Lite, Huawei Nova, and Huawei Nova Plus.As well as the onboard Nougat improvements, Huawei is bigging up how much more intuitive and secure EMUI 5.0 is, saying that it "significantly cuts down on the number of steps needed to achieve the desired function.""Furthermore, the user can reach 90% of the core functions in just two to three clicks," it added.One beef we've always had with EMUI is being remedied - the platform never had a traditional app drawer, but with the new update you will optionally be able to switch this otherwise standard Android feature back on. Huzzah.According to details leaked on December 6, the Huawei P9 and Huawei Mate 8 may be updated to Android Nougat as soon as December 7. The info is coming out of Huawei's home nation of China where it is claimed internal documents have been seen. It's alleged that a build number B352 for the Huawei P9 and B552 for the Huawei Mate 8 are expected. However, crucially the documents are talking about the release in the Chinese market, so we don't know if we will see a wider rollout at that time of if other global regions will have to wait - possibly the global rollout may occur in Huawei's previously announced target of Q1 2017.

You see what I am talking about ? people write false miss information all the time
THERE IS NO OFFICIAL 4.1 VERSION! IT HAS BEEN BETA ALL THE TIME!!! What does it matter if it is official or not yes it a official beta!
4.0 is the last official final version, and nougat is a OFFICIAL beta.
Regarding 5.0 we only seen a few people reoproting here they have got OTA updates WHILE not being in the BETA program or have installed any beta version.
If you get 5.0 OTA whrn you are on b192 then you know for sure it is official, but again, huawei have done this before pushing out beta software to a few countries, they did that in poland with mate 7, like 5 months before the final was released, so you have to keep this in mind too, for us non chinese people it is hard to gather the correct information, since we do not use or can even read chinese websites and social media.
We have seen a lot of people getting 5.0 ota when they are on Beta version, you will get beta version with OTA if you are using a beta version currently, or if you have sign up with the hicare app, you get early adopters versions. The confusion is when people say they get OTA but they get it while using beta software and then say it is final version.. then people keep spreading false or non-confirmed information that this is the final version.
I have still seen no offocial from huawei on any of their websites that the 5.0 final has been released.
A beta tester said only 1 week ago the final version is not out yet, cause huaewi did just send out a new beta version to their beta testers, it takes atleast 3-4 weeks after they push put a beta version to finalize and going thru all bug reports.
People are desperate and they are simply to eager to install and go over to nougat that that they do not care or get blind for the actual information, it becomes a snow ball effect, people just keep writing over and over it is official and final etc etc until people believe it is true.
If you ask me, current status with mate 8 android 7.0 is that it is in the last phase beta. According to leaked roadmap Android 7.0 should had been released in January.
People are free to use beta version if they want, I have had good patience and waiting even if my fingers are itching currently because of my frustration I Want to move over to 7.0 the minute the official version is released, not later.
What we need is more chinese people in this forum who are watching all the chinese websites.. it is their everything is happen, it is the FIRST source for huawei phones not xda where huawei is kind of small compared to a lot of other brands.
I got an official. Just flashed it from the xda forum.
If you want to have a nougat - you need to flash it by yourself. If not, wait for OTA and dont ask questions.
simple as that ;]

Because you stated 4.0 I assumed you were talking about EMUI version as I mentioned. There is sometimes a lot of confusion interpreted as false information.
My Mate 8 was delivered with Android 5.0 and using eRecovery it installs 5.0 so I assume it is an official release.
Regarding Chinese sites, I don't understand Chinese but with current possibilities to translate whole pages it is feasible to visit Chinese sites and read latest information. I found my latest version B577 there.

It is still not approved for installation. It will probably be another week.
Today the update was approved when I checked in Firmware Finder. In the system ypdate it said that there were no updates, so I used Firmware Finder to trigger the update. All went smooth. Face Unlock works fantastic!
my LON-L29C636 still not getting approved.
My LON-L00 still can't update.... Is been a month that I see the update on the HiCare app but each time I click on update it say no update ... =(

Huawei P9 lite vns-l31c16b133

Hello dude,
i searched using FF for updates for your firmware and seems that aren't let you upgrade to emui 5...
So after a year since first upgrades to android 7 arrived, it's quite hard to believe that it will come in next times for you man...
Now you can wait and pray, or try to REBRAND changing your CUST ( C16 ) to another one, like C432 for europe or
C636 for asia and so on... you can find all files you need and serch for a OEMinfo.img+custom.bin closest to the place you live.
( example: i have VNS-L31C02B390 live in europe, will rebrand to C432 ).
Here on XDA you will find some guide / tools that will help you doing this, just use search and READ carefully...
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
Regards

If im not mistaken vns-l31c16 is the South African variant which mtn sells. I got mine through mtn and it seems like they aren't gonna push the nougat firmware out, instead they keep updating marshmallow with the latest security patches.
You best chance is to rebrand to European firmware (c432) and update to nougat

Honor 8 EU model firmware B407

It looks like the July security patch has appeared in Firmware Finder. May be the EU will get Oreo at around August or September.
That sucks for sure
What happens if the update is not approved for installation and I download it through FF DNS/VPN and try to install it?
I didn't get even the B406.

There has been a security update for marshmallow way after nougat got released.
That may still happen with Oreo, oreo and nougat are not necessarily excluding each other IMHO.

Last update that showed up on my phone before rebranding to L19 was the B405.
Why are Huawei/Honor so sloppy with their update distribution sometimes?
This seems really strange, I haven't even recieved B406 yet and Oreo is being released on another FRD-L09 model, but still they decide to release a new security patch-only update? Why couldn't they just pack it together with Oreo? :|

Guess they're just testing with the Russian L09, like they first did with China, and don't know when they'll release it in general Europe.
maybe because in Europe we are crybabies they want to be sure everything works fine
im still on 405 and its not a big deal, besides if you want to get oreo they 're many detailed guides to do so..
And what with gyro bug in B407?
just received B407 OTA
Uhmm... You sure?
Me too in croatia. Previously I manually flashed b406 through the firmware finder
