Here at xda, we post in English. Which is an actual rule here. If you cannot speak English, it still needs to be translated. I did it myself for the forum, but just an FYI for future posts. Can be found here if you need reference. https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 further more, what some Joe schmo says on a website means nothing. Most of the idiots from honor on social media said Oreo wasn't coming h to the h8, but yet it's in beta. These "representatives" know annually nothing about what's being developed for the phone and you're just silly if you think they do. Hell, the main guy from honor usa couldn't even tell me how long it takes an OTA to go from them to the public. In short, this isn't anymore solidifying than the goofballs saying we weren't getting Oreo because some random rep said so. I hope we can agree to disagree on this instead of doing what most of XDA does and "flame" each other. Have a good day.

It is true, I should had add the source from the beginning that is my fault.
But I really did post in English and translated that part about the Honor 8 and it is not my fault that the source behind the link is in Hungarian. I might have mistakes since my English isn't perfect but I hope that does not count
So the story behind this Hungarian topic is that Honor got even more separated from Huawei in Hungary, now they have their own distribution channels, marketing, management etc. and in order to be more influential they collaborated with the largest tech media site called "mobilarena" (like here in XDA) and opened a Honor topic in order to answer questions. Obviously the first question was about Oreo for Honor 8. Few days later they wrote back that they have been directly negotiating with the manufacturer but he is not able to provide any specific information about the (Oreo) update (sorce). However he can tell that a smaller update gonna happen in June... and the rest is in the first post. So I am not judging anybody if they don't believe in the representative after all those false information. Have a nice day as well!

Backup Internal storage goes offline in June 2018
Like title says, in June there will be some kind of update not sure if Oreo or just monthly security patch, but go to the: Settings > Advanced settings > Backup and reset > Huawei backup, try option backup data it will give you options how to backup data: Computer, Internal storage or USB storage.
Under Internal storage there is red message about offline feature in June 2018.
imgurcom/a/GyiFBZ7 (insert . after imgur)
On Honor 8 (FRD-L09), B405, EMUI 5.0.1, OS 7.0
That update (virtual, three finger screen shot,...) or Android Oreo or maybe something else, how knows.
EDIT:
Maybe it is based just for the app from Huawei (Huawei backup).
Funny, child company Honor using Huawei app and cloud storage (cheap move)
Maybe in June 2018 they will give new option for Honor users.
Honor backup on Android 7.0

To be sincere i saw the changelog for the Honor 6A. I downloaded and installed the firmware on my grandpa's phone and it has those features. But i think H8 won't get anything because it already have double knock to screenshot , knock with two fingers to record and vol down pressed to recall HiVoice....all this is included in the Honor 6A update (about 407 mb) so no need to "update" H8 with functions already present. I know...3 finger swipe down isn't the same as double knock...but wtf cares?

I have a L-09 and I can assure you that with the latest B405 I do not have all that features described (some of it - yes but not all). Maybe just as the Chinese version has more features other regions might have some differences as well. Maybe L02 did not have all these features yet while L09 had already had some of it.

The honor European team normally does beta testing of new software releases, but I do not know what their plans are for honor 5X. I suggest visiting Hihonor.com and it will redirect you to the page for your region the latest info.

I filled out the registration form with all info, input the correct captcha (pop up even says it's correct) check the i am ove 13 box and press register and a small red pop-up says system error, then the captcha disappears and resets. Tried it a dozen time with chrome and a few times with MS Edge browser, no go.
Not really a big deal though, already looking at getting a nexus 5x. Love the dual sim of this phone but the UI is crap and the community is small. Looking at other Huawei communities on XDA leads me to believe that it's not going to be much different here. A phone with essentially 1 developer isn't for me. Passing it off to my kids.
On the brightside, the fingerpint scanner on this phone is great and I don't think I can ever buy another phone without one.

Your Huawei ID is registered on the other site, and can’t log in. Please register a new Huawei ID on the current site.
Ok
I have the exact same problem. The "hint" makes no sense... Can't login with your email, and you can't register your email on the registration screen because it's already taken by you... argh!

I'm not really into the visor look of the 6p. My HTC M9 had plenty of power and was nice but I have grown to love the fingerprint scanner (shouldn't be a surprise though since I owned the Moto Atrix 4g which was the first phone with a fingerprint scanner back in 2011). I actually use my phone for ........... well, phone calls so i'm not always looking for the latest and greatest. I loved my Nexus 4 and the nexus 5 was nice too, so I'm absolutely positive I'll be happy with the nexus 5x.
Actually, pulled the trigger on the Nexus 5x ($50 off for the next week or so) about 10 minutes after the post on here asking me to "try another browser or post a screen shot of the error message" while trying to register. There are dozens of posts on here of people not being able to successfully complete the requirements to receive an unlock code for their bootloader, so the registration issue really shouldn't be a surprise. One thing I know about the Nexus devices is that there will always be developer support and google's websites generally just work.
The Honor 5x is a way better phone than it's $200 price would lead people to believe, I'm just not a fan of EMUI or the slight lag that seems to plague the touch interface (kills glyph hacking in ingress ). Also, I find that CM is great, but it's always been a bit more of a battery hog on the dozen or so devices I've used it on over the years than stock or nearly stock AOSP. It's way too early to make that judgement about CM for the Honor 5x, but it's not too early to see that on XDA the Huawei forums are very limited with little to no development and marginal support from the manufacturer.
Add it all up and the 32gb Nexus 5X at $349 ($50 off) seems like a good deal.

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.
Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
Chinese version only perhaps?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.

Mha-al00c00b172

My research tells me that there's a new build for the Chinese version: MHA-AL00C00B172.
I don't yet know if it's to be a public or an internal beta, nor do I know the change log. I do know that there's something different about it from previous updates, but not yet sure what. It might be EMUI 5.1, but I can't confirm that yet. Hopefully I will know more soon. Details coming as soon as I can find them.
Edit: Seems to be a closed beta
Bummer. I was hoping for a completely new update that fixes the notification issues and few other minor issues.

I'm happy to announce the results of my work, in the form of changelogs for upcoming versions. To install the beta versions, it would still be necessary to use something like FunkyHuawei to distribute them, as they are not offline install files.
As for making the actual method of finding the beta versions public, though, I considered it, but decided not to, because I don't want Huawei to close the loophole.
Definitely an old changelog, 10x zooming is not a new function but I can't remember with which ROM it was introduced. Current ROM in China is B167
Does anybody know how to join the beta program or can send me a link?

It's not a public beta program. It's an internal build. There's also B172 for the Mate 9 Pro.
As far as I know, there is no beta program to join.

No beta?
I think that there is beta program on chinese AL00. Only this model can receive first-wave updates via HiCare app. There is special function: OS update early adopters.
Tried many times on my MHA-L29 - no dice.

I've found many L29 and L09 beta builds too, but they are all older than current release. Some are called M300 instead of MHA (even recent ones, for example, there is an M300-L636B150) Early adopters may get official builds pushed to them sooner, but not beta updates as far as I can tell.

No, AL00 don't even have this option.
About a year ago there was a Huawei public beta program. (Betaclub.huawei.com). You still can register but the website is not available anymore.

Hot Diggity! Honor Sent Me A Software Update!

Bout Time Something Came Through...
I know... Everyone else on the Planet most likely already has the B140 Software update...
But at least I know I'm on the list! even if it is last..
Wonder what happened to B192 for the BND - L24 ?
If anyone that reads this can chime in.. was it a prerequisite that the 7x received B140 before B192 ? and does anyone that has a BND - L24 received B192 yet?
I'm still waiting on my update ?

Mr Moss.. There Is No Rhyme Or Reasoning To This Rollout...
You just look up one day and it's there...
But what is B140 ?... nothing more than AR.. and unless you are a selfie freak the novelty last about 2 seconds.
Facical Unlock (B192) is what should have been released instead of this.. The 1st market received B192 the last week of January.
At Least I've got the February Security Patch.. believe it or not, I was still on the December 1 Security Patch... :angel:
I just really enjoy reading your threads man!

Mr. Ambassador.. Thank You.
Kind words indeed... I just offer my insight as I see it with the Honor 7x.
All of us have invested our hard earned dollars into this device.
And it's a GREAT device.. just standing on it's own merits.
EMUI has matured.. And, because Huawei / Honor controls their overlay AND the SoC.. it's a smooth running machine.
The Software is PACKED with useful features from tempeture adjustments to themes, dpi and much more.
This is the 1st device I've owned where I can honestly say, *Rooting is an OPTION.. Not A Requirement*
Some people have accused me of starting a rebellion.. telling others not to root their devices..
OWNER'S CHOICE.
My words are not so powerful that when "Raiderwill Almighty" speaks you have to listen.
It's just MY point of view.
I'm glad you enjoy reading more than One Side of the Story... :good:

I completely agree to the point that Honor made "Rooting, an Option but not a requirement" with their emui .I bought this device with a few doubts as I tried custom ui like Miui and vibeui before and not really liked them .But I have no regrets for buying this device and I totally love emui now

India still waiting for an update . Congratz for your update.

Enjoy. :angel:

Just recieved B160 update, includes face unlock.
As to why my phone's not getting any update at all is beyond me. I have BND-L21 model and security patch reads Oct 2017. Ridiculous. Still on B101.
@dart_dev --- B160 update? On an L24 model? I just got the B140 this morning, several days after my wife's phone took it and quite a while after the first post here.
Just got 140 myself.

Not L24, i am using L10.
Hey I got the update to B140 today, but I'm having an issue with the screen going dim when I use chrome browser? I don't have auto brightness on and I've already cleared my cache and factory reset the device. But the issue is still there!
Question..

Hello.. I'm Assuming, You Did Not Have This Issue Prior To Receiving The B140 Update ?
Since you've Factory Reset your device might I suggest you go into Setting > Display > Sleep and set it to 10 minutes.. and see if that fixes your issue with Chrome... Only Chrome huh ?

This is an EMUI bug and has shown up in devices like the Honor 8, P10, Mate 9, etc.
When a few people were reporting this issue on the Honor 8 I didn't face it so I'm assuming it affects only a small number of people.
This showed up immediately after the update right?

Mate 9 - Android Oreo

HI
After send question to Huawei customer service about update my MATE 9 I get the answer :

While we understand your excitement for it, we must recommend patience for the mean time. Best regards, Alexander Huawei UK Technical Support

How is that possible? I received the 8.0.0.363(C432) as an OTA update like a week ago and so I got January's patch. I know, still a month behind Pixel users, but pretty impressive and I'm happy with this phone. I thought I'd get no updates for my Mate 9 after buying it, but Huawei has seriously surprised me.
Now I've owned it for about a year (only a few days and it's exactly a year since I bought it) and last year alone I got quite a many updates. Oreo itself arrived as an OTA back in December.

My Mate 9 is at MHA-L29C636B183 Bought it as international version. Is there any update coming for this model ?
I'm a conservative user, not necessarily excited about the latest novelties. I use Facebook, Chrome, Gmail, Tumblr, some weather apps and local public transport. I wonder whether there is anything of interest for me in Oreo. Perhaps what worries me is that my Android Security Patch Level is dated 5 June 2017.

Just received OTA 8.0.0.364(C432) on my Mate 9...security patch 1st Feb 2018. That's even before my mate 10 received its Feb security patch update, this one is still running the Jan patch.
Heh.
I haven't been updated since April last year.
I'm not sure I'll go on with Huawei..... It's been a year.

What is your build version?
Huawei uses imei-region update method.
If your data is not same what Huawei is awaiting, you cut chances to get update.
