Good news but which version? I already have B360 on my FRD- L09 through Hicare app. Will we receive some bug fixing addition, or this B360 is final?

So can you please confirm about this 360 update that we got. Was it a pre-release beta ??
Please give us the correct info
John

The b360 update we got in Janauary is not so smooth as people report. Too many bugs and animations break frequently (uninstalling apps from "settings" menu) etc. I still don't know if this was official update or another beta release. I'm hoping this "global update" fixed some bugs....

Will the source code/binaries for Nougat be released? It would help with the custom ROM development for the Honor 8, which seems like they could use a little more help from the Honor/Huawei side.

Look mate.
If your gonna be good enough to come on here and say this update is rolling out please be good enough to answer our questions.
Was the 360 update that I got as part of the beta program that I was on the official Android N Honor 8 release ??
Yes or no please ???
John
Now you have made a show on here at long last are you gonna stick around and help us make this phones comunity of power users into a great community ??
We need your input coz we all have questions that we need answering.
I have been trying via here, Google+ & MaDaco but I'm not really getting anywhere coz questions are not being answered.
Honor went out of its way to involve us at XDA and alot of us went out and brought this phone because of the perceived relationship.
Get involved and help via answering questions and providing source code needed to make our ROMs that we all love.
Don't get involved and you will lose the support of myself and I'm sure many others.

This is the mirror of the Honor/XDA partnership. Honor just throws some glitter into XDA users eyes, trying to ilude us that everybody is in fact taking advantage of this partnership but the only beneficiary is Honor itself!

In Firmware Finder I still cannot see any new update based on your device model.

From these screen shots what has been released is a mix of the Original 360 update and the new 360 update from team MT.
I'm really hoping that we all get this inclusive update.
Why give our two different 360 updates ??
Even if you had numbered them 360 & 361 ! It's not as if there is not enough numbers.
Mr Honor. U showing up on here is good in lots of ways but you can't just show up and post that and not answer these questions.
Read the threads mate.
People are feeling frustrated with the lack of info.

Need Android N firmware

Hello guys,
Does anybody have the Android 5 firmware file or Rom so that the people that haven't got into the beta can update to it.
Thanks
Any news?
Assuming you mean Android 7/N....you can grab Firmware Finder off the Play Store to manually download the OTA off Huawei's server.
Or download from www.hihonor.com just put a search in to locate firmware
Once here go to Support and then Software
Once here click on the tabs to locate firmware OR enter a search for said firmware
The newest one on their site for L04 is from August or so.
And no android N in these links. I need the beta please

I'm eager to try Nougat as well, but from what I'm reading the battery performance on it isn't too good so I'm willing to wait it out. No rush on my end, although if given the option to flash it right now, I'd probably bite.

US Huawei Mate SE users discussion thread

I requested an specific forum extension for users (like me) who also have the Huawei Mate SE version in the US. In the meantime, we can use this thread to discuss specifics for this version.
Another Mate SE user posted this in the Oreo Beta thread. It seems there will be a also a FUT trial beta for Mate SE.
mobstaj said:
I had signed up for the 7x beta and then traded it in on a Mate SE for the extra ram and storage. Very happy that I did, camera seems to load consistently faster.
Anyway, I emailed the FUT testing team to inquire about the Mate SE and this is the response I got back:
"Last time we checked the Mate SE will have the FUT trial right after this model. But, yes. We can add you in the test if you did not get to participate in this model."
I emailed them back to see if I might be able to get a more specific time frame and information about how to sign up for that test. I'll let you know if they reply.

@mobstaj Can you please post in this Mate SE specific thread if you get any reply from huawei folks?. Thanks again.
I got my Mate SE last week. It is on Build B101. Is this what the rest of you are on? Or is there something newer?
Jon
Yes, same build...BND-L34C567B101
Will the se get the face unlock update like the honor ?

Thanks guys. I was wondering since the B101 build is "old" for some of the 7x's. I did notice though that the security patch is current as of Jan 2018.
Would be interesting to find out why in the US the 7x with 4gb/64gb is called the Mate SE, and in rest of world it is a version of the 7x. Seems like a weird marketing strategy. And the Honor guy on this forum can't/won't answer questions about the SE. You'd think that the Huawai/Honor staffing would be combined in the US.
Just wish we had some idea of when we might get a beta of Oreo.

In that case, would you or anyone else happen to have a clean dump that I could use? I know I should have waited till official firmware has been released but I was really eager to root it and whatnot. Ended up flashing something I shouldn't have and now I can't boot.

I don't and we are all waiting for either the stock images and/or oreo beta.
In case you are wondering about rooting your Mate SE, someone already confirmed the same process for the international Honor 7x works with the Mate SE.
Harfainx said:
I decided to test it out and see if this would work for the Huawei Mate SE (BND-L34), and it does! Went through the normal bootloader unlock stuff, and then I flashed your TWRP image and it worked perfectly. Sideloaded SuperSU because it seems like everything on the internal storage is encrypted (can't see files, and all folders are gibberish names), but it looks like it worked fine.
I have root, and I've got TWRP on my brand new Mate SE!

Has someone captured the OTA for the international or US 7x oreo Beta and attempt to flash it on the Mate SE. If the root process is the same as international hopefully it can take the OTA from the international too.

Zenfone max pro M1 pie beta sign-up is here!

How asus has manipulated its customers by releasing an unwanted survey form of M1 pro PIE beta program, covering up the fact that they are far behind schedule in providing stable update by the end of February.
Asus is more focused on marketing their mobiles sale on flipkart and releasing newer zenfone models in coming months.
so, is this international beta? or just for india? the link is for asus.in
asus getting flamed on their own max pro m1 zentalk forums, pie has been under testing since late last year, and still they are releasing 'beta' to this date.
They sold this phone in this name of pie and they wont provide the same. gg asus marketing: 9999999

This must be fake news!
