How to check if the phone is actually a global version - Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers

I just got this phone.
I noticed 4g issues, as if it was missing the 800mhz band (which is a common thing among chinese versions).
Is there any way to check if the phone is actually a global version?
i tried https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei but it doesn't accept the imei but i suspect this site is only for xiaomi imeis (could someone double check and let me know?)
Thank you

Does your phone also have the update issue where it cannot update to the newest firmware?
Asking because mine and others do on there official forums and they all seemed to ship from Poland.

Mine shipped from Poland as well but I had no update problems. Came with security patch February 2019 and was easily upgradeable to patch level March 2019 via OTA

B182 officially released

Huawei just pushed B182 to my C432. On German and Portuguese SIMs.
Security patch dated 5 April 2017.
Well, I guess I will receive it shortly after you guys on my Dutch Sim.
Just don't get it why I takes so long for the c432 models to get the updates.
To bad the change log is old. 6x zoom? It's already at 10.
I get the update last night :good:
Please can anyone confirms that in the network setting the "network aggregation" and "Volte" setting are not available? It seems that are now managed automatically.
Updated through firmware finder successfully. No obvious changes so far.

Don't see it there. Carrier aggregation is gone, it seems.

Hopefully the L09_C432 UK model will get update soon too!
It is embarrassing to have latest flagship phone stuck on January 2017 security patch, when 3 years older phones such as the Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z3+ are on March 2017 security patch.
Does anyone know if the newer software have better lockscreen music/audio widget control support?
I'm using Pocket Casts; Audible, and USB audio player. All don't have widget control on lockscreen in B156 build.
+1 Bigmille you're completly right and it's incomprehensible from a company like Huawei, apparently they don't care of their customers security, i'm still too stuck to 156 in France, i'm checking daily ...

Volte is there for activation on my phone
So did you guys get the 172 before this update? Since I am still stuck on the 156 since February. I can see with firmware updater that 172 got out in March, but I cannot install it.
e. ok, now I checked the pictures. Apparently skipped totally 172..

The same happens to me here in the Netherlands. Keep waiting.

Beginning to wonder if I made a wise choice getting this phone!
Sent from my MHA-L09 using XDA Free mobile app
I got 182 in Bosnia
I received the MHA-L29C432B182 update today via OTA. I am in Sweden and have a mobile phone from Germany with a Swedish sim card.

Just received the updated on my Mate 9 brought from 3 store in the UK. Might worth checking again.

My Moto G5 Plus won't update..

So as the title suggests. I bought my phone 2 months ago, and since I got it it hasn't updated once. Nothing, not so much as a security patch or anything.
I've tried googling this but nothing comes up. I obviously check via system update - and it says it's up to date.
My build number ends 137-33.
Android security patch 1st January 2017.
It's not rooted. And all stock.
Is this normal?
My phone came with same build and you're not alone. Twiddling thumbs may help with the long wait, or root and try some custom ROMs. I've got the June 5th security patch running CyberOS which is based on Android 7.1.2 and other custom ROMs are similar. There's a debloated stock ROM based on India's G5+ update (they got one already) with the March patch at least. That said, there are rumbles ours is finally coming soon if you do want to remain stock and get the OTA.
What does it say under Settings > About Phone> Software Channel?
There hasnt been an update for the UK Moto G5 Plus yet.

I asked a similar question in a separate thread and maybe you know, is the update 137-35-5 that is available as a zip able to be flashed over this same build, 137-33 I have now? I unlocked my bootloader but stopped short of flashing twrp or rooting. I think the 35-5 update only has the May security patch only but someone uploaded the full firmware. Any opinions are welcome.

Yeah, I cannot believe that some regions were being updated months ago to March and subsequently May security patches and the UK is still yet to receive any updates at all. Why do manufacturers make their lives so much more difficult by having such variances by region? A single software version for all regions seems to work just fine for Google and their Nexus/Pixel lines.

I fully agree with you mate and i think it is only going to get worse with Lenovo pumping out more and more models.
I am in same boat my friend

I got it from Eglobal Central, so I assume it is the Hong Kong version. It has all the 4G bands, including band 20, the one I needed for 4G reception from my carrier.
It was one of the first to get the Oreo update and is on stock.

Reflash RUU 7.0 and then you can update.

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.

Neither did I.
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
Pure Honor 8
Cool. It is still not approved for me
Still not approved here, in Italy. Honor 8 (FRD-L09) No brand

July Security Patch

Just got the July Security patch 8.0.0.325(C675).
nice... just security update? nothing else? then again, it's 1st August for me... no more July.. hahaha
I dont know if you'll are facing this, but I am facing some heating issues after July security patch update which results in rapid battery drain. I know you'll will suggest me to do a phone reset but seriously is that even required?. ?. Can't just reset phone after very new update.
Still waiting for my July security update, or should I say July and August security updates. EU version here.
Otherwise this phone has been pretty damn awesome
Are you guys able to use ldac on your Honor 8 pros?

I too have the EU Version (C432). I contacted Honor support yesterday because I saw on the Firmware Finder that there are new updates around. The guy on chat told me that my phone is on the current official build (366).
