In the same boat, havent taken part in Beta program and I am stuck on 182 still.

Btw , 182 was a forced updated by downloading it from the Warehouse firmware thread here , i was stuck on B166 otherwise.

My phone is not even tied to any carier. Arrgh!!!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] oxfordmark:
You have Android 7 via OTA? or Beta?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] warface:
I got it via the Update app, but I was on beta.

It's the full release I have now though, no beta versions.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] pnvpratik:
whats the version number ?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
You're lucky, I'm on B166, I would say still but I only got the phone a month ago...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] warface:
Here's what I'm on now...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] blanco2701:
And how do you feel the phone compared to 4.1?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] warface:
Seems to be only minor visible changes. No new options I can see.

One thing that did change was that I can use EE's WiFi calling, which wasn't available before on the beta. This was activated automatically by EE via a text.

Camera, WiFi, network all seem same.

Will have to wait maybe a couple of days to see how the battery life is.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zemblance:
How did you get it? I've been accepted on the beta for a month now with no update and the full file from Firmware Finder fails at 35%?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] warface:
Just used the Update app on the phone.

Checked for new software, up popped the new software.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zemblance:
Not working for me. By the time I get it Android Snickers will be out

Do you think it would work if we flashed the android nouget version B360 over the B182 version of mashmallow we currently have ??
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] oxfordmark:
Yes what happens if a non Beta on 182 tries to install the latest Android N ROM?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
It just doesn't work, I downloaded the B182 ROM last night and installed it, no problems.

On Firmware Finder there are a couple of ROMS viz. B360, B361 and another B361, I've tried to download all 3 and flash them (using dload method) and have had NO success whatsoever with any of them.

I am now reverting to checking the update page in settings every hour or so!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
BTW I've tried the dialler method too and that doesn't work neither

What's the huawei updater way?

Why is this phone such a piece of crap, differing version per region for what is the same software.

Why do OEMs insist on making such an industry out of something this straight forward
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
Aye, I did that on Friday and managed to get on to Nougat! :good:

Follow the second post on this thread, as long as your on B182 it is easy

And you think the phone version per region is complicated, you should see Samsung's scatter-gun approach.

Did the download links on the thread work for you? I am unable to download them, I get a site error as if the files have been pulled.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Clewis94:
Ignore that, it will work when it is in the updater. Doesn't work when you put it in a browser, don't ask me why but it's fine.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] The-Last-Hylian:
Has anyone who's updated this way had any issues? How is the latest build?

I'm still hanging on for the OTA as I can't be asked to have to backup my data and then reinstate it...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
Nope, no issues, no worries about backing up data either. I didn't lose any of mine (YMMV)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] The-Last-Hylian:
Ok so it just updates, it's not like flashing a custom ROM?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
Aye, it's just an update (you should backup your data before hand though, just in case!)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] osrogon:
I just tried this method, and while it updates my P9 to nougat, the versión number is not correct (it shows NRD90M test keys instead of B361), so I've downgraded to B182 (make a backup first, it deletes user data).

I'm going to wait for the OTA update to appear in my phone.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mrtuppy:
Hi all.

I'm currently on B166, unlocked UK handset?

Should I have had an update to B182?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
I've been stuck on C432B180 for ages. No idea when there will be an update.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] AndyLonghurst:
Which file did you use. How did you do it? Are you on a rebranded handset?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mrtuppy:
I'm on a SIM free UK handset.

Used the Warehouse firmware from page 1 of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586

Firmware EVA-L09C432B180

Installed via force update

Extract "update" from zip, place in dload folder on SD card (create if needed)

Power off then hold power + vol up + vol down till the Huawei logo goes off.

Hope this helps
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] RedMist:
In on 3 with EVA - L09GBRC555B160. I've not seen this mentioned yet.

Can I force an update?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
From reading around I think you'll have to debrand first, there is a thread on how to do that. Debranding will mean you will lose your data though, so it's either that or wait for 3 to put out an update (good luck on that one!!)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] RedMist:
I'm thinking of wiping anyway... But I'm more concerned about losing access to my bank account apps, which typically don't like you modifying the system, and anything that requires DRM. I think this is to do with unlocking the bootloader ??
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bobjbain:
I think banking apps are only concerned with rooting not unlocked bootloaders, I've had plenty of devices with unlocked bootloaders that have allowed me to run my banking apps.

Reading the debranding thread it would appear that your bootloader will be locked again at the end of the process anyway (if I have read it correctly).
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
Huawei told me the reason is that a region only gets an update when all carriers have approved it*. In the case of the UK, there's a build for the single SIM version sold on EE - but the generic/SIM free models have to wait.

I guess this makes sense, and it is why for some years it has gone from network branded phones getting updated late to the other way around in a lot of cases. Sony has certainly been like that since the early Z/Z1 days and I assume is still true today (I don't really use Sony kit these days).

* Maybe only carriers Huawei works with, but in the UK that's all of them anyway.

Am still on B137 with Vodafone! I am going to try and debrand it asap. B137 came down in December, before that it was B12*
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] NightOrchid:
Im in UK and Just bought my Unbranded P9.. and still on B166.. I force flashed Full B136 (4.4GB), which OTA upto 166... but says "No Updates".. the crazy thing is... Android security patch is 1st June 2016.. 8 months old..

A friend of mine flashed his C432 P9 but it changed the CUSTC to C900, now he cant get any OTA updates

EDIT

So after all of that and deciding to wait:

I did a factory reset after my OTA update to 166... and B182 appeared on the setup Update check... So if your on Unbranded Uk C432 P9.. try a hard factory reset (Vol Up + PWR)

and setup as normal.. then it should pick up B182 on update check during Setup..

Remember to backup your device..
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twe69:
Cheers I got confused with following one of the guides on this forum saying you will see 182 when all I could see was 166. Will factory reset it manually (previously a password screen appeared and a reset option).
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] boroleigh:
Tried this as needed factory reset and still says B166 is latest. Have contacted Huawei UK to see what they say.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] twe69:
Yeh this is annoying. Stuck at B166 to. No update to B182.

I downloaded an update to B182 but apparently I should be on B177 to use it so that turned out to be useless.

Am in the UK to, from a Vodafone UK phone to unbranded B166 now.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] boroleigh:
Just spoke to Huawei UK live chat and was told Nougat is rolling out now and is scheduled to last till mid march and that B166 is the latest version until Nougat is issued at which point B182 will start the ball rolling to B3**

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] NightOrchid:
Why they insist on having multiple region versions of the same ROM is beyond me, even within the same country now.. Wow, thats some feat...

Can they not just do what SONY (Flashtool & XperiFirm) / Samsung (ODIN) and LG (LGUP) do, where they have One device for ONE region .. and we can all upgrade and downgrade different Roms...

And they wonder why people have warranty problems
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] NightOrchid:
Thanks for the info... good to know Huawei are on it:)... but If thats the case.. then how is it that some of us in UK with Unbranded P9s have B166 and some have B182...

Oh fun and games eh :)

An update on my previous post. I've been in contact with Huawei again about the UK rollout. The latest info is that the UK rollout has been extended and is currently rolling out to devices that have B182. As for others like mine with B166 they are looking towards the end of May for completion.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] tmohammad:
My P9 is C432B182 but I am still waiting for an OTA update. The information is so limited. Why dont Huawei just make an official statement?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] boroleigh:
Your right. I kind of think they are useless as the same unbranded version of the phone has different software versions B166/B182 in the same country. I could understand if they were network locked.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] tmohammad:
Just been on the Huawei Chat Line:

Hank said: Your device has O2 firmware. This currently is not due to for an update, as O2 has not signed off on the EMUI 5.x update yet.

You said: Any idea when... As they say its with you guys

Hank said: That would be incorrect on their part. The update has to be signed off by O2. We do not have a timeline on that, as they are a third party.

So it looks as if O2 have really washed their hands off this and are keen to sweep it under the carpet and concentrate on the next models!!!!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] boroleigh:
I don't think it's just O2. I'm getting a feeling from Huawei chat that they aren't bothered about it. Had the phone a year in 6 weeks and not had one update.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] :
Getting the sneaking suspicion that this is EE's plan too. Scruffy bastards. Rooting is no longer the dead-cert solution to all problems. Android itself is actually pretty mature now. Rooting causes more security risks to me than running older Android security levels on a non-rooted phone.

The was the first time in ages I'd trusted a carrier branded handset instead of buying SIM free.

GG EE. Wont be making that mistake and sending any money your way again.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] tmohammad:
Any of you guys on UK networks (Or unbranded) got the V7 OTA update yet? How long do we need to wait for?????

So who is on what version, seems like there are all sorts of different versions!

I got my phone from O2 and it appears unbranded & was unlocked. I have model L-09 on build C432B182.

I have only ever had one OTA update just after I first bought the phone in Sept 2016.

So what others versions are being used in the UK by the various Network Operators?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] boroleigh:
Got mine through three. Also unbranded C432B166 on June 2016 security.

I'm on O2 EVA-L09C40B190 security patch November 2016. ? Crazy.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] benjamen50:
The firmware version: L09C432B182 seems to be the most popular here. Most people here are probably using it even if their phone didn't come with C432 on their EVA-L09C's because their carrier firmware never received any OTA updates for ages like since September 2016 or something (Yes I'm one of them that debranded, unlocked bootloader and went to C432B182).

[Android Apps and Games] Sir_Exotic:
Does anyone know an application for Android that lets you set notification sounds for different apps and device actions?

I'm looking for an app that lets me set up sounds when performing actions, such as:

- App notifications

- Turn on/off phone

- Lock/unlock phone

- Swipe left/right (on homescreen)

- Wrong password/unpermitted action (error)

- Low battery

- Plugging my phone to the charger

- Select app/option (or just 'click')

- Etc.

The reason I want something like this is because I'm a huge Zelda fan and I love the nostalgic sounds from OOT/MM/WW and I would really love it if my phone made the sounds from the game I love so much.

My idea is that when I lock and unlock my phone, it would make the sound of opening and closing the Start menu in the game, and when my battery is low it would make the sound of having low health, and when plugging my phone in the charger it would make the sound of getting a heart (from grass or pots), and so on.. all from Ocarina of Time.

Things like locking/unlocking your phone already have default sounds (that most of us turn off anyway), so it doesn't sound like an impossible wish, I'm just really curious if there is already an app out there like this.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Sir Exotic
[Android Apps and Games] tbvnz:
App: Screen Off and Lock allows custom lock/unlock sounds. Tasker should be able to cover sounds for battery low/full, as well as app notifications. Swipe sounds I'm not too sure about that one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 65536:
Hi,

after reading some information about the FRP, a perhaps possible way to bypass it on Samsung devices came into my mind:

After all, the only thing one has to do is somehow managing to open the settings app. From there, one can do a factory reset which will erase the FRP partition. There are already lots of ways to do so, mostly by exploiting "holes" in the UI.

And of course, the FRP is never really secure; as it relies on the inaccessibility of the phone's internal storage. So if one is able to write the flash by some means (for example JTAG), getting rid of the FRP is pretty much straightforward.

This to be said, just to assure you that I don't plan anything malicious. I'm just curious about Samsung's and Android's security measures, and I don't own any recent Samsung device (with FRP) to try it myself.

But now my thoughts: If FRP is active, from what I read one could not boot unsigned binaries flashed by Odin. But Odin seems to flash these images; it appears that it just blocks the boot.

The next point that flashing+booting modified firmware without triggering the Knox flag is possible. From what I read, the kernel and recovery must stay stock. Apps can change. So I assume that it behaves similar with FRP.

This brought me to an idea: Maybe one could modify a stock image so that one could get to a settings screen, flash it via Odin, boot it, open settings, do the factory reset, and do whatever you want form there.

As a modification, I would suggest just deleting the Gapps from the image; then the phone will never ask for a google account. Or put in one of the apps commonly used to bypass FRP by USB OTG.

The key question is: Will the device boot the modified image, or will one get the "Custom binary blocked by FRP" error?

It is good. See https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/themes/music-players-one-standout-dac-to-192k-t3533577

Audiophiles are a group comprising about .1% of male population. Search for Medical Research ~ 2001, male hearing anomaly/acuity
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] thisisjason:
Audio output is pretty average overall. DAC seems to be fairly accurate (it's just Qualcomm's standard offering, not a discreet DAC like the V10/V20 or Axon 7 have), but there's audible interference from the cell radio and other components with sensitive in-ears and output power is unremarkable
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] aviwdoowks:
I should add

Output is adequate if you use a low impedance, high efficiency bud. The Apple earpod is not as bad as most reviewers pan it to be. I keep it upside-down and fitted tightly in ear canel.

I have even carved out the plastic to let the bass reflex ports pass while tightly fitted (lol we can't messing to improve audio!)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] thisisjason:
The Apple Earpod is probably a good choice because it's actually not very low impedance for an earphone (it's 45 ohms), but it is fairly sensitive (109 dB), so it's in a nice middle zone. You get a sensitive in-ear that's 32 ohms or even 16 ohms and you will start to hear the noise floor, interference and some distortion on the Z Play's headphone output. It's not bad for a phone by any means, but it's not especially good either.

I used an external DAC with the Z Play for a while (Fiio E18), but even that would pick up some noise from the call radio if I didn't have it in airplane mode (which I couldn't do all the time). I finally had to get a separate audio player to get the sound quality I wanted.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] aviwdoowks:
Hmmm

Yes I do not hear any noise with these buds.

Neither do i hear any clipping.

So how is sound at very low impedance in airplane mode without a DAC? What player do you use? Have you tried UAPP without a DAC?
