[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
No, my model don't "belong" to the UK. I live in Denmark and bought the phone in Denmark.

Don't know if you mean UK model as in European model.

I bought the phone off-contract (it's not branded it anything), so it's not depending on any carrier.

Well I as have understood it, there is no UK version, only a European version (for Europe).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pattixaris:
I have the same model and got the b120 update a few days after it was reported here (i guess most here have the US model). The b150 seems to take longer though
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] beakerav:
Strange? I received and installed B160 and phone info reports I'm on android 6.0

I have model frd al10

Does this mean higher ota version number not necessarily higher version of Android?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Seems like there are 3 versions (regions) of Honor 8.

EU, US and Chinese versions. (32 and 64 gb)

Anyone knows or can confirm which models have what versions of Android, as the latest available as we speak?

Seems like the EU (FRD-L09/AL19) version is running Android 6.0 - B120 (unbranded - not carrier depending)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
All of those have Marshmallow out of the box.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
All are running in 6.0 update. However some region would have got 6.0.1 update. Some regions would have not got it.

Always there will be one incremental update difference (maximum) between the regions. As all regions wont get the update in the same time.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Ok, let me put it this way: Has anyone with the FRD-L09 model received the B150/6.0.1 update yet?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
B141 is out of the box. B150 is slowly being distributed still.

I don't think Asian and EU/US release codes are the same.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Nyssa1104:
India 32GB = FRD-L02 firmware so there's more than 3 regional firmware types
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
The latest firmware for L09C432 is B131 and that is the EU region, L09C636 is Asia, L09C185 is Africa/Middle East, US is L04, India is L02.

Is not just the modell like L09 that says where your phone is from, is the Cust, like C432, C636, C185, then there is Branded phones like C02 is Vodafone, C55 is TIM Italy and so on....

So for your version if u are from Denmark u should have C432 the latest is B131.

Then we have China modells like AL10 and DL00, C10....

U have a thread with latest firmware here.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Yes, I have the C432 model. However my current build is: FRD-L09C432B120, and there is no update, if I check with the "Updater". The phone was shipped with version FRD-L09C432B120, so so far I haven't installed any updates...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
The firmware B131 is not officielly out on OTA yet. If u want to install it now u will have to download it and install manually.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
It might be a Beta version. Wait for the bugs to get fixed and get a stable update as OTA :)

If you need now, you can update manually.

FL19

Hi I Have a L19 with current version B102. Updater has notified me of a B120 update ready to install but when it boots to TWRP, it fails. Manually updating via Twrp fails too with error 7.

I have an unlocked bootloader. Any help on installing the OTA?

TIA.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
U can't install OTA via TWRP, u must unroot and install stock recovery first
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Anonshe:
So once I unroot and install stock recovery will the bootloader be relocked?

Also how do I install the stock recovery.

TIA.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
No.

Install it through fastboot.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] cmk7128:
Flash this https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApqAMc5GiA41pI9bZe3ZiRsR8GUdyA in bootloader using fastboot command.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
Lock/unlock state won't change.

Download your current full rom version. Extract boot.img and recovery.img with Huawei extractor. Flash the boot.img with ADB tools using the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command without quotes. Recovery with command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without quotes.

Hey B120 is the latest update for European models (Frd-L09 C432). B130 is rolling out in the next few weeks. B150 is as far as I'm aware for the Chinese models.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
I have B131 on my FRD-L09C432 ;)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Where are you from (or bought your phone) and did you get OTA update, or manual update?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Anonshe:
Just a quick update. I flashed stock recovery and then clicked on the update app. It booted to reboot and after verifying the package it said couldn't verify. Rebooted to system then went back to the update app and this time it downloaded the full ROM package and flashed that instead.

After completion when i booted back to boot loader to flash back TWRP it states phone locked.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
Sweden, made a manual update.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Any news about OTA updates? Are they still testing it? Whats going on?

I'm really disappointed about auto brightness - It should be fixed, or at least work better, in the next update.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] malnabokor:
Honor have started to release the B131 update but in many waves. From the B120 experience it could take up to several weeks till everybody will get it. If you are really annoyed (and it is understandable) you can update manually.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
It will come. Be patient. :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
Info from beta testing shouldn't be public. As all beta testers were informed that any info passed to the group should be treated as confidential. So sorry, but I won't say a thing and other beta testers shouldn't also.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] malnabokor:
Btw is there anybody else in Europe who got the B131 OTA?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] salihss:
I am in the US I purchased the phone 3 days ago When I turned on the phone B150 ota notification came and I installed it
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
Yes but u have the L04 version, EU have L09 and it's not the same firmware.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] salihss:
Sorry I thought it was a general question to everyone

No it is OK because this might be useful information for those who has the 04 version :)

Sorry guys, I'm a bit confused, does anyone know how Honor 8 actually knows your location? I've tried to change local settings in the hope of getting the update, but no joy.

Does anyone know how to prevent EMUI from checking for updates? Once an OTA update is available, the phone won't stop pestering me to install it, and I really don't want to.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hadeone:
Why dont you want to install the updates?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Florp:
Because I get sick of having to re-set up my phone every time. Updates remove root/unlock, and re-unlocking wipes the phone.

If it's a major update with significant feature improvements, then fine, I'll do it. But in my experience, most Huawei updates are minor behind-the-scenes changes that I won't notice or care about, usually while introducing new bugs.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
U can always flash TWRP to the erecovery (recovery2) partition, so no need to flash the stock Recovery before the update.

This way you can have stock recovery & TWRP at the same time.

When your phone boots just press volume up at the screen which says that your device is unlocked and can't be trusted. You also can use the apk from here:

I'm really disappointed with auto brightness its more or less always too low. And the battery life is a kind of a disappointment as well. I just come from a 2½ years old HTC One M8, and it has the same or better "battery-life".

I truly hope they will fix this in the next update. Do we have to wait until Christmas for this? :D

Is the B131 update 100% done in the testing process? If yes, we haven't they shipping it yet?

Is the B131 update a leaked update or an "official release"?

And for how long has the B131 been ready/done?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
B131 is officiell, and allready shipped out to a lot via OTA. U can try to force push it tru HiCare app or if u cant wait install manually. In Sweden it's allready come on OTA.

You can use Firmware Finder to push OTA update to your device (yes, the smaller 100-200 MB one) if it is approved for your device (you can check it via the app).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Thanks, however I prefer to use the official OTA way to update my phone.

Its 4th of March and my phone has security update from August 2017!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Anyone care to explain this to me?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
Huawei releases updates in IMEI batches, few at a time. It can prevent huge server performance issue if everyone downloaded it at the same time.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hackslash:
Sending in batches also saves them from a catastrophic event. Let's say if they send it to everyone and the users then encounter a crucial bug, it will be extremely difficult to call off the update. That's why the batches approach is utilized.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
I understand the point of releasing updates in batches, HOWEVER it should NOT take months getting the updates out!

As said before I'm still on B394. And my phone is unbranded, unmodified, stock Android. So the update comes directly from Honor/Huawei to my phone, and not via any carrier. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable. Its 1st f May today and my phone is still on August (2017) security patch!

Is there ANY (good) reason why I haven't received any further updates?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Days Tech:
No. Use FF to update to B404, which should be approved.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sideness:
You clearly have a bug. This isn't normal. Unfortunatly, you have to flash manualy the last update to fix this (or you can try a factory reset).

Did you also try to open HiCare app (pre-installed on the phone)? There's a button somewhere to request updates.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Yes, I have tried with HiCare. Says no updates are available. I would prefer doing a factory reset, if possible.

If I update with Firmware Finder, will the phone be wiped?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] b1tt1:
What's the exact model number of your phone? FRD-L19 lags a lot behind in terms of updates compared to FRD-L09, for example. I just received confirmation from Huawei Finland that FRD-L19C432B398 (security patches from August) is still the latest official OTA update for the 64 GB model in Finland (and in rest of Scandinavia, I guess).

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Micdu70:
[MENTION=3420567]Juusuhako[/MENTION] Hello, if you have FRD-L09C432 I think you need to download "top" firmware (159371), second firmware is for FRD-L19C432 (159372) and last one for FRD-L02C432 (159456).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Juusuhako:
Cool, thanks. It does say that the firmware is not approved for installation though but I don't know if that'll affect anything? I'm assuming this is the full release and not a beta.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Micdu70:
"Not approved for installation" should not be an issue because it's a "PV" firmware. But if installation fail, you can flash it via TWRP (Custom Recovery). It should work without using HuRUpdater method.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asmund:
Well none of they have been approved yet, so none of them works so far.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Juusuhako:

I may've misunderstood this app. then. I thought using Firmware Finder was an alternative way if you didnt wanna wait for the official release.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] daspyki:
In case you already haven't tried, go to system update setting, click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select download latest full package. That should give you the 407 updates.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] skubko:
Thanks a lot for a good hint. No I did not tried that before, I would not expect that it would actually find something if regular check did not. So, I selected "download latest full package" and it installed 405 for me. After install was done, I checked again (standard check) and again, nothing. But when I again clicked on "latest package", it downloaded 407 package - or better to say -this is in progress... Do you think that after 407 is installed, I will get with the same way also Oreo?
