US Huawei Mate SE users discussion thread - Honor 7X Guides, News, & Discussion

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.

Well, when I originally asked them about the Huawei Mate SE oreo update they responded within 30 minutes. Haven't got a response back since I sent them the followup for more details. Will let you know if I get more details.

Typical behavior from mobile staff. Thanks.

Ok, I've done searches, but I can't figure out what FUT stands for. I know there is a FUT Team, but that doesn't help. Anyone??

For Unique Testers. I have no idea, but it has to do with a acronym like that.

So uh... I kind of bricked my Mate SE. And there currently doesn't seem to be any stock boot images or firmware around anywhere. Does anyone happen to have either of those two? Or does anyone know when the stock firmware will be available for download?

Huawei hasn't released the firmware yet. There is no indication so far of when this will happen.

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!

Here is the thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-root-honor-7x-international-t3716056/page9

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.

Not yet, I was part of the beta testers for the US 7x but didn't get the update as of yesterday. I returned the phone yesterday and kept the huawei mate se instead.

Honor 5x MM Beta Test Email.

Hi All,
Earlier today I received an email from James at Honor regarding the MM Beta I recently signed up for.
I was wondering if anybody had received the same? I ask because I'm a little skeptical.
Below is the email.
.
Hi there
It’s James from Honor here, I’m currently trying to figure out what is happening with the Honor 5X update which some of the testers have received and some of you haven’t.
If you one of the unlucky few who hasn’t had the update yet can you reply to this email with the following information and we can hopefully rectify the problem. Please ensure that both IMEI numbers are sent back and that they are correct.
Name –
Current Build No –
IMEI1 –
IMEI2 –
Regards
James Pearce

1) First, better verify the header of your mail.
2) Then better write to Honor Technical support on their website to be sure this isn't a fake or a scam...
3) Don't send any informations from your phone and about yourself unless you're totally sure of the origin.
Cheers.

1) Appears to come from the right place, have checked it out
2) Contacted Huawei in the UK via website and twitter, just waiting in a response. Must have caught them after they had left for today. Just thought I'd ask here to try and get a quicker answer.
It's legit. I'm also on the beta test and can confirm that I received the same email from James.

After several phases of testing and feedback collectionthe new EMUI 5.0 is a great improvement! It offers a simplified interface and smoother user experience. Hope you will like it!
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 ??

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.

From these screen shots what has been released is a mix of the Original 360 update and the new 360 update from team MT.

Even if you had numbered them 360 & 361 ! It's not as if there is not enough numbers.

Update to EMUI ver. 6.0 or later on Huawei Nova CAN-L11C432B394

Hello guys!
I am new on here and until now i haven't found a thread for Update the Nova from my version to a later one.
And also i don't really know how to do and what the cons. are.
The problem is i do not like EMUI 5.0.1 so i wanted to patch it up, so i was wondering if someone from you can help me out! :fingers-crossed:
Thank you in advance!

Hey,
So, for one, there is no EMUI 6. Huawei made the jump directly to 8 from 5. Secondly, EMUI 8 hasn't been released for the Nova/ Nova Plus, and I honestly don't think it will, so you're pretty much stuck with EMUI 5.0.1 on your device. The only thing you could try is LineageOS from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-plus/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3704606
Just know you're doing it at your own risk.
