European BLN-L21 (mine) has it.

Probably either there are many variants of the BLN-L21 variant or you're reading it wrong...

new oreo build for blnl22 with August patches up on ff
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] siddharth@0897:
But again it's a closed beta build :confused:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Anyways I'm sure it will not come this month...maybe next month
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] davis the droid:
There's a possibility that Android Oreo could be released in October.... It all depends on how Huawei/Honor feels.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramesh006:
Anyone from india with emui 5 please check this new oreo build from firmware finder is approved to install or not?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] galapagos:
You've been saying "next month" for the past several months already. I have a feeling you'll probably say the same thing next month.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Strangely, the md5 checksums are exactly the same between the August and July files. Also, the change log doesn't mention anything about August security patches like you mentioned.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Khan ubaid:
It is same file as of july ...
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Notorius bunty:
No its. Not approved infact nowadays no file is approved for installation in firmware finder for indian version
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jackodex:
nope

it's not approved
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] mind-overflow:
Neither does mine... I proved there's the NFC chip but it's software disabled though, look at this my topic: the phone reacts to NFC.

Could you post the output of getprop here? Maybe we find a differnce.

if you are interested in custom roms, want to use magisk and waiting for oreo update with treble you might want to skip waiting and install it right now as of builds on or after 22 August something called patch01 is implemented in all builds from 22aug that means you won't be able to install magisk ever (not even in custom roms as kernal will be patched) ps if you are looking for stable roms there's openkirin rr os and [MENTION=5031606]asku[/MENTION]ccio 's dot os both are stable and amazing its also said openkirin's android p stable build coming out in a week
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] goosnarrggh:
Wouldn't most built-from-source custom ROMs also include their own self-built kernel? If so, then clearly the custom ROM developer wouldn't include Huawei's anti-customer patches. I'm not sure if I see the problem here, as far as end-users of custom ROMs are concerned.

This is certainly a disappointing development, though, for people who would want to use magisk with a stock Huawei ROM, or with a custom ROM that has merely been binary-patched from the stock ROM.

[edit] Also, I guess people who wanted to take advantage of Treble to put a custom Android userland on top of stock Huawei vendor and kernel images could also be impacted by this.[/edit]
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jackodex:
maybe

developer himself warned users in telegram group so maybe stock kernal effects
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
You're referring to this i assume https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77415750&postcount=6555 - well, another step in the pit for Huawei, much evidently money counts more than a little branch of customers that are interested to the third-party development sector. Why ever they should force your OS to be that untouchable on their phones, if not for their own interests about other customers users data?

Anyway, i hope they'll suffer the "joy" of seeing their beloved "protected from brick" customers migrating to another user friendly company. Because this is surely what I'll personally do (and my thought is this since they announced to stop providing bootloader codes obviously)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jsolares:
Well ended up selling my honor 6x, so with my luck expect oreo any time now...
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sreekantt:
End of Huawei/Honor time for enthusiasts(Oh! wait, they never had time for enthusiasts).

Time for some POCO in life to repeat the magic of my ex legendary MI4/3 & open source world.

Undoubtedly, for me Honor 6x goes down as one of the worst phone I've ever used in usability/tweaking competing with 7 year old bakup call phone Gionee P2. BAD EXPERIENCE AND MY THUMB RULE FROM NOW WOULD BE TO AVOID ANY PHONE WHICH COMES FROM HUAWEI/HONOR JOINING MY BANNED LIST OF VIVO/OPPO.

P.S. - In my 7 years of ROM flashing history, I neither got locked out of my own phone nor paid for any kind of software service to unlock them. Glad, Huawei broke my streak even after I have/own all the keys.

---------- Post added at 02:11 ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 ----------

Looks like, that's their eventual goal and no wonder of their shocking price for Honor play as our data costs more. Normal users should also stay away from such totally closed software especially coming from a Chineese super power. Glad! Trump, AT&T took steps to block them and I hope India & Europe(GPDR) does that too. Btw, I requested them to delete my Huawei account & data 3 months back complying with GPDR but no action was taken upto now except few automated emails I receive every month.

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Yup ik a bull**** decision taken by Huawei,though it won't affect them much as the modding community. Don't form a majority of phone users
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SaurabhRajput:
They Just Give The Update Of Monthly Security Patch?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Sreekantt:
Actually NO

Modding & enthusiast community affects a lot in sales eventually. Enthusiast community played a major part in Xiaomi & One plus success. Do you think Xiaomi is a fool to support custom development actively by opening up everything to devs after having their inhouse MIUI with ads as one of their primary income ? Every group will have one tech guru who is into such stuff & generally approached by his relatives, friends etc etc before buying any device. Such person would obviously outright reject buying such crappy mobiles and that catches up really fast in exchange of words between various types of people. That was the main cause of the rise of Xiaomi as a brand, One plus as a phone and gonna cause the fall of Huawei/Honor eventually :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] siddharth@0897:

if u install openkirin gsi rom then performance and battery life are at their peaks.

Its rooting tell me the method which dont require root access only bootloader unlock plz tell fast
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] davis the droid:
(To my knowledge) I believe there isn't a such method. You must root, it is a requirement if you wish to unofficially flash Android Oreo to your device.

Though, if you'd like to be on the safe side, I recommend you to wait until Android Oreo is officially released for your device and submodel. Maybe wait until mid November, you might be well pleased for your waits. Then you can flash Project Treble compatible ROM(s) a but easier than you can right now with Nougat.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] galapagos:
Rooting is not required to update to Oreo.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] davis the droid:
Oh, I see. My mistake.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Rooting is optional but there is detailed instructions on how to unlock as well, check the guide again. Follow my the same till twrp installation.

Check the update on hicare, there is an icon for checking the update there, it's looks like an arrow ⬆️ when you click on it, go to system update, the red dot should appear then.

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] stuartrace:
I have to say, now I'm running Oreo on my 6X it does feel quicker or at least smoother in opening and closing things, and the animations between them. I'm impressed in that respect. Oreo does seem quite incremental over nougat though in terms of features

Don't think that is as easy as it was told. Had this been so simple, people would not pay 50USD to funky Huawei for debranding. :)

We, at xda, do it for free though :silly:

Changing the regions may push update but what about the installation, as there is no platform underlying supporting this firmware.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
