US Oreo Beta? - Honor 7X Guides, News, & Discussion

Just wondering if any people who received the TUF email from Huawei has gotten their OTA yet. I understand that it's a staggered roll out but just want a general feel of how fast it's moving. Also I haven't seen anyone mention actually receiving their US OTA.
Edit: I'm specifically talking about BND-L24

I got the ota around noon today, cst.

Please forgive my questioning the seemingly obvious, but did you fill out the Google doc form? If so, did you receive an email?

Yes to both questions.

Also on the east coast and nothing as of yet. It said everybody should have it by the end of the week. I say give it till Saturday at the latest.

I'm curious. If you were able to to a factory reset, make a complete backup using the TWRP run method (not the install method), save the resulting files in a zip on a Google Drive, and share the link - would I (and people like me with the L24 and TWRP installed) be able to use that to "restore" from TWRP?

East coast here, nothing yet. If you go to the Honor's 7x FB page they said that even if you didn't get an email from the FUT trial and filled the form, you should be able to get the OTA. Checking the settings>system update.
I did this and nothing yet.

Curious.
I wonder why we wouldn't get the OTA.
I have bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, and, therefore, am on the B101 build, not B130. Do you think that might have something to do with it?

for sure!
if your bootloader isn't locked with the oem recovery, you will be unable to get a ota update from huaweii

I have nothing yet. Got BND-L24, still don't have it yet. I'm hoping I'll get it by tomorrow

So... I know that means I can't install it, but does that imply I shouldn't be able to see it in when I check for updates, too?

Guess this is a REALLY staged rollout lol

This beta OTA is a staged roll-out. Everyone that had been approved for the beta will receive the OTA by March 20th.

Still don't understand the difference in the way it has been stated... Most posts said "everyone who applied".... Well, I did, but didn't get an email and have seen nothing either. Very frustrating.

I second this question. Been asking around different threads for any TWRP backups for either the US Honor 7x or the Mate SE. Not sure if that's allowed or anything but if it's not, I apologize. Just really desperate.

Well don't worry, I applied and got the email saying I would have it by friday.........accept nothing has come thru, tried all the methods they said. Nothing. So it's definitely not been pushed to US or other regions yet or we would have seen it on here by now. Huawei hasn't done what they said so don't worry, it has not been pushed yet. I actually have the mate 10 lite for 275 and it seems very similar but they are vastly different in hardware. 4 gb/ 64 ROM, I know the se mate does too, but I had all three lined up and the screen on the mate 10 lite is at least 200 nits higher when I measured it vs any of the others, same with the mate p smart which btw comes with OREO already baked in when you buy and it's only 235 and has the good screen of the mate 10 lite, and OREO already in it.

Don't know what your talking about with it's not getting pushed to the US, literally the first person to respond said he got his from CTS zone. Still very disappointed though that it's the end of Saturday and east coast still hasn't gotten it yet.

How many people haven't got the OTA update as of now

I haven't got the OTA update as of now wonder if it is me or other people haven't received the OTA update as well
Haven't seen it and I think a lot of us are in the same 'waiting' boat
I'll give it another day or I'll just do it manually...
i havent yet but im not to concerned, it did say untill the end of the week some people may not get the OTA update. gotta be patient, its hard tho lol.
It's rolling out in batches guys... like thisguy10 said... no need to be concerned. You'll get it eventually.
Well i am glad to know i am not the only one who is waiting
I got tired of waiting and did it manually like 10 minutes ago its very easy to do.
p.s. on unrooted n1
Hope this helps, updating without root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627533
Can anyone verify if being on wifi would impede getting the update notification?

I wonder what factors prioritize whose phone for the update? I'm located in Asia, not in one of the four countries Google'll ship to even, and I got my update really fast. So it can't be geographic-based.

I haven't got anything. I'm just wondering if its an email notification, text message, whatever, and how the order of rollout is deduced.
It's a system pop-up. You can also do the "About phone -> Check for system updates" to find it.

Could this be because you, as I have, have unlocked the bootloader?
Will we get the OTA update when the bootloader is unlocked (unlock symbol showing when booting)?

Seems to me that on factory images you would still get the OTA updates. In my experience, I've always been prompted before updating.
However, on Tmobile in the Cleveland area, not OTA yet.
didn't get OTA. saw update available through diff ref to engadget, immediately came here, found file, installed.

I got impatient and got a link off Amon_RA's twitter for the ota update, downloaded, renamed to update.zip, installed update through the stock bootloader (all on my phone i might add)
I still haven't rooted my phone, making sure there's no flaws before I do. The native multi-touch is pretty flawless. Seems to take care of some signal loss and the constant missing of the bottom menu buttons. (or maybe that's just my imagination)
i havent got the update yet and my phone isnt rooted...

Yes, US has been the very last region to update both times, so far, and I expect it will be again this time, too. The second update didn't take long at all to get to every US user, though, once the US update pushed. By the time I got my notification everyone else already had it and the update URL was all but pointless. I'm not really all that concerned with getting this one, but man I hope that 6.0 update hits every region fast. We're building a larger user base now, though, so maybe we'll get lucky and XDA members from each region will be among the early people to get the push notification.

For whatever reason, they start the soak tests later here than other places also. I don't think they've even started the soak tests here yet.

Force OTA?

Two of my friends recently picked up a Nexus 6p after messing around with mine and my wife's. They haven't received any updates in the two weeks they've had them and the devices came with the January security update.
Neither of these two will be unlocking bootloaders or flashing custom roms, one is local and the other one is on the East Coast. So let's leave the comments about doing it manually out of here, I'm just interested in figuring out how to force the download of the actual over the air update.
Verizon if it matters.
I forgot to mention, I have been searching but the search function on the latest version of Tapatalk is completely useless.
The only way to force it is by doing it manually. You don't have to unlock the bootloader though. It can be achieved by using adb to sideload the zip with the stock recovery. This is probably more work than you want to get into but it's the only way I know of. I have instructions in section 12 of my guide:

No idea. Same thing is happening to my girlfriend's new 6P. She is stuck on the January patch and I have been refreshing it multiple times; nothing. Hopefully it comes within the next few days.

I think I've read somewhere that it's an issue with the device syncing with the Google servers. A factory reset might help it along, that would wipe the phone though.
The February update has finally pushed to my handset today. Hopefully if I install, the March update will follow.

I was having the same issue. I downloaded the ota's and then rebooted my phone and I suddenly had the prompt to update to the February and then the March update. It's a bit too much of a coincidence to not be because of downloading the ota's so give it a try.

US Mate 9 (C567)

Official Oreo for the US Mate 9 is now on firmware finder, build is MHA-L29 8.0.0.312 (C567). I used firmware finder and tried to install but get the update is not authorized error and can't install. Any ideas on how to bypass the check without rooting or installing twrp? Or since the official non beta Oreo is out there should I just be patient and wait on Huawei to authorize this room and push it out to our devices?
It showed up on the "stock" update, for my U.S. version of the Mate 9 Thursday morning.
Gonna wait till another week or so and try to hit the "check for updates" button to see if I'll be able to get it on my C567
Still hasn't shown up on mine yet

I wasn't really expecting it. I figured, with the roll out of the Mate 10, it would be a couple weeks til they officially
pushed it to the USA version of the Mate 9.
Nothing here at all for my C567. Sitting on B190 as well. Checked for updates via OTA and via HiSuite on the computer.
Tried to o get an answer from Huawei on when it would be rolling out to the rest of the US models but they were absolutely no help whatsoever, just canned responses that didn't tell me s***, guess I didn't really expect much else. Huawei really needs to step up their game, especially with timely security updates if they want any kind of real market share here in the US.
Nothing here either

Totally! I called them yesterday and they gave me the same BS. This is my first Huawei device and I've seen that the IMEI needs to be whitelisted. So that's what I called for. The guy told me that the updates came from my carrier. Yet I told them at least 5 times that I bought it from Newegg unlocked. And they couldn't give me an sweet other then the US Mate 9 site itself.
I seen someone say they contacted Huawei through Facebook and they suddenly got updates 0.o

If the guy told you that updates come through the carrier he is trying to feed you a big line of BS. Since no US carriers support our carry Huawei products. All updates for Huawei phones come from Huawei, even the Chinese varieties. And that whitelisting thing is also a lot of BS. If Huawei wants to break into the US market they need to fix this garbage.

Bull****. T-Mobile updated the version number page for the Note 8 with today's date, yet NOT A SINGLE PERSON has verified receipt of PIE on the T-Mobile forum, Reddit, or here. I doubt they've even started pushing it yet.
According to Des, the Twitter PR guy, it'll get pushed as early as today and if not, Monday. They are updating the page and preparing to push. It was certified by Tmobile today.

Cool. Thanks. Nothing like announcing something on a Friday and then making people wait until Monday for it. CRUEL. That's like waiting for UPS to deliver a package to you on a Friday that you can't wait to have, and then being told there was a delay and since they don't deliver on Sat or Sun, you've gotta wait till Monday. That's the worst.
Just got mine by checking
My OTA is literally downloading right now. FINALLY!!!!!
Does anyone have N950USQU5DSC1_N950UOYN5DSC1_TMB.ZIP already downloaded on a faster
Got it at 12:01 am last night, so far I've noticed just a lot of visual changes, the clock is moved to the top left corner, and we get more options for the always on display. We finally get Bixby remapping, and it works really well. The Camera mode selections got simplified, and we even get Dolby Atmos support, Idk if anyone else reads the changelog, but apparently we dont need the Dock anymore for DeX support the Pie update allows us to use the way cheaper cable options. Overall it does kinda feel like a slight performance improvement, but let's be honest the Note 8 wasnt ever a slow phone. How is everyone enjoying Pie?
Have a T-Mo Note 8, checked Samsung Smart Switch this morning and have a 4GB update waiting. Anyone know where Smart Switch stores downloaded content? If I can find the update on my PC I'll be glad to share it.
I got mine this morning by manually checking at 8:30
Anyone know if I will have to wait longer to get the update since I have the unlocked model?
I used the app from play store samsung update checker and it took me right to the download. Downloaded full firmware in 28 minutes. 1000 times better than crappy Sammobile. Sammobile is absolute trash.
Use the Good Lock app to move the clock where you want (Left, middle, right).
Good Lock is a great companion app for Pie.
