[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] pumuckl:
Hi hustoparek, may I ask how you were able to upgrade from BLN-L22C675B369? I'm on this version as well, and not able to upgrade to Oreo. When I try to use dload method it stops after 5%, hwota method also fails, already at the step where it tries to install twrp:

Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')

Later the same, the Orea update is trying to write more into /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 than the size of that partition.

It seems my partitions are just not the way it is expected. I got 369 by OTA, my phone was bought in India.

Thank you very much for your help!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hassanjavaid8181:
Yes it will be released globally..
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
no new info on this. As soon as I hear anything, I will update or there will be huge announcement over multiple threads and sites.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkAlpha.Sete:
Is there any information if they are going to add treble support in the update?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Tamil15:
No information there on anything even on Oreo from Honor officially..!![emoji848][emoji848]

Always hope for the best!!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] bejamin77:
Guys so I'm looking to buy this phone as an Xmas gift and I'm trying to find out what us the current running Android version from the manufacturer? Is it running Marshmallow out the box today?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
It may be MM out of the box but will get Nougat update as soon as you insert SIM. What is your region? Nougat is released long back to all the regions BTW
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] fc3211:
I sure hope the volume will go back to normal 100% instead of how Emui caps it at 80% and that nag screen that you have to click OK to raise the volume every time.

I think Huawei could save alot of money by simply firing all the Emui devs and using stock android. I hate Emui, TouchWiz, HTC Sense and all other proprietary skins.

Dont mess with perfection. We dont want to hear a "remix" of Mozart's classic songs, now do we?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Manc1234:
Avoid honor 6x now and go for 7x or wait till starting of 2018
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Akopps:
Not so fast. The 7x internals are very much like the 6x. The base model now has 4GB of RAM and is clocked maybe 10% faster, neither of which is a big deal. They even kept the ancient micro-usb connector. The only change is the bigger 18:9 aspect ratio screen, which many people doesn't specially need or crave. But the biggest issue is the price difference. Around the Thanksgiving week, the 6X went on sale for 149USD, which was too hard to pass up, but when the 7x arrives to our shores, I bet its price will be around 300USD. The biggest advantage of 7x will be probably the fact that some day, more than a year from today, it will receive Android 9 update, but the 6x will not.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Manc1234:
In India in an official statement honor said that 7x will have a price that none others can offer in this segment, well let's see on 7th December now :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
5th December. 7th is sale start day but price will reveal on 5th. I think this will be around 230-250$ or less similar to 6X.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] goosnarrggh:
Even better: My unit upgraded to Nougat without a SIM; I only needed to connect to WiFi.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] MarcusOptimus:
Hi, guys. News about the update? :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Nothing so far. :(:crying::rolleyes:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Nothing so far, keep an eye Honor's social media channels
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
I don't think it's likely given that the 5X didn't have another update and the release of the 7x
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] MarcusOptimus:
Ok, it was only a rumor. :( No Oreo for Honor 6X, now it's clear.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
So do you think I am here to spread rumours and what would i earn by that?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Both phones are independent. What is the logic of adding 5X to the comparison here.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
No, still nothing confirmed yet :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
Because it is the 6x's predecessor and it got one version update. Stands to reason that the 6x will have the same treatment.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
That's not a reason, it's up to the Honor, not being it a successor to the 5X
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
5X was SD based and they are now promoting their own kirin processor. They gven MM and VOLTE (Which they called major update and reason for not given any further update)

That was an excuse but we can't do anything. We will have to wait as I am not in touch with them recently so not updated but there is a meet-up planned again in Delhi next to next week so will have more information on this ( i am not attending the meetup but will try my best to get some internal information)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
Nice bro. See if you can get anyone to grill them XD. I mean, this is an awesome device and surely they can afford to give us one more update, considering the sales of this device. Wish they updated the US variant more often in terms of security patches.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubwy:
I'm confused, is it confirmed or not that we will get Oreo update?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Lets have some patience and wait for this meet up atleast or an official statement on social media channels.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Sure buddy. Also, regarding 5X, we raised the update queries to not someone at the initial levels but their president George Zhao during our visit to Huawei HQ in China (December 16) and he was polite and kind enough for giving good few hours to meet people attending Honor carnival amd addressed all the user queries. The update was denied straight away as they wanted to continue with Kirin for further devices and said they will be pushing the updates as much as they can.

6X Nougat update was confirmed during the same time, it was not even globally launched that time (global launch date was Jan 3rd 2017).

I will try my best to get as much info as I can from this meet up ( i am not attending due to family requirements).
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] goosnarrggh:
No official statement either way yet.

Some sources a few months ago suggested that an upgrade was on the way for both the Honor 8 Pro and the Honor 6X. But they cited a 3rd party who heard about it informally, rather than any statements directly from Huawei/Honor.

Regardless, the timeline placed the release for the Honor 8 Pro near the end of 2017, and for the 6X near the beginning of 2018. We haven't passed that date yet for the 6X, so no news doesn't necessarily mean anything.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
The only thing that would confirm the update is a post in social media by Honor
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] goosnarrggh:
[sarcasm mode]

Really? So, hypothetically speaking, a direct statement on their corporate website wouldn't confirm anything? Actually pushing the update over OTA channels wouldn't confirm anything? Only social media counts? Good to know.

[/sarcasm]
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hello 6x friends.

The oreo update will come to honor 6x premium. Just not yet. Be patient. I know some huawei developers personally. They confirmed it to me. Of course only privately!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
That's a good thing :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
You guys might want to check Phandroid. They are reporting that Honor 7X will receive but no mention of 6X :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
Can't post links. So here
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
That's absolutely wonderful, can't wait for the official release
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubwy:
Thank you for the update!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] gordesky1:
I just got a ota update today bln-l24c567b365 i guess for 5.1 is it safe too update? I mean if i want too root and custom roms?

Im running just stock right now no root but just a unlock bootloader.

But i assume it safe because i see roms for 5.1
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ohno7158:
I just received the oct. 5th security update an hour ago.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubwy:
I just checked on my US variant and it's not showing.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] gordesky1:
Hmm maybe it comes in batch;s sense mine is the us variant also. woke up and saw the update.

I assume its safe too update? cause in the near future i want too root.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ohno7158:
It is two months late so you might receive it this year.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubwy:
Hope so, I try to keep up to date on the latest updates and especially the security patches.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ohno7158:
Yes download it. After you root you can update from the ROM sites. I don't know what the security update does.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubwy:
I never root phones, not into that stuff usually.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ohno7158:
If 8.0 does not show up early next year I will root and get it.

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

Well, when you root you get an all new OS so you get a new phone. Can be a lot of fun with new things to download. And XDA is the only place to get the right root info.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
XDA is a cool place to be at...lot of folks, many technical discussion, many cool themes and ROMs and you learn a lot from every one.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ohno7158:
Yes, I do a daily check on what's new. There's not a forum on the web like XDA.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] gordesky1:
Hmm does updateing the ota relock the bootloader? Cause i just updated and before it did it, it said unlockbootloaded detected not trusted than it did the update. And in google settings it says under device certification certified??? which before the ota it said not certified.

Or is it still unlocked? is there a way i can check?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
boot to fastboot and check the status

fastboot oem get-bootinfo (see if it gives status as locked or unlocked phone)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] gordesky1:
Yep its locked.... i always read ota updates doesin't relock the bootloader???

Owell not going too do it at the moment again sense i have the phone how i want it lol..

But will in the future. was holding out on root till after 8.0 hits anyways.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
No, it will relock the BL.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] gordesky1:
I see. owell having a unlock bootloader and not doing root was useless at the moment anyways hehe.

Will just relock it again in the future.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Wait, technically it's not like this. No all new OS, you just have the same OS you were before rooting, simply with full control on it. For example, you can navigate through root folders, usually hidden on your phone. You can modify system files like hosts for ad blocking, build.prop for enabling/disabling hidden functions, modify apk and files permissions in way to decide how can they work on system or not. You can allow apps like Greenify to be more efficient on hibernating apps thanks to root permissions... And much, much more.

But I'd like to point out for every noob that should ever read this, in way to avoid confusions on rooting and how it impacts on system, that the OS won't change after rooting; it'll remain the same of before.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Perfect explanation. Noob user will definitely find this more than useful. :good:

Guys, anybody has the default music player problem. Mine stops after playing a song or so. I know it is not the forum to talk about it but I am desperate. My phone is running EMUI 4.1 Android version 6.0. I googled it but I didn't find any solutions. Anybody please help!!!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
what is your device model is it 6X?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hassanjavaid8181:
Any other third party music app working fine??
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Here i post a note sent by Honor to an Italian tech news forum, HDBlog, regarding the list of Honor devices receiving Oreo that still have to be decided;
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
At least there are some closed beta test for Honor 8 :D
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
Nice. My hopes are down a bit but still there.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Yeah but still not about 6X :silly:

Same for me dude, it'd be nice to see this device updated but it isn't a flagship, so it's a big question mark
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
We'll wait and see :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
Well well well
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
They're playing with us :laugh: I hope it ends with an update.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Unfortunately i am trying but not getting the exact info on 6x update from honor internals. It was not confirmed but wasn't denied also.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] GaneshGauli:
Yeah! It is 6x.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Yes. All other third party music players are working fine. The problem is only with the default one. The default one consumes less battery than other players. So, I want to fix the issues with that one. Any ideas??
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Clear app data and force close it and restart the device and check it.

What about the screenshot bug! They have it across several devices as well. I have bln-l21 with emui 5.0 and when i take a screenshot no notification appears. In older emui versions, a notification stays there and you can quickly edit or share or view it.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] foxyspice:
Screen Shot

this is not bug. u have animation turned off. go to settings developer options scroll down to Animator duration scale and turn it on .5x or 1x or whatever u like
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Basically you need to change this to be able to edit/share as soon as you are done with screenshot
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Maybe he meant that after the animation that confirms the taken screenshot, a notification doesn't remains on notifications bar. I remember that on EMUI 4.1, in addition to the animation, the notification used to remain there until you'd click/delete it. To me, this doesn't even looks like a bug, because when you take a screenshot a quick panel to immediately edit the picture comes out on screen, but i think that [MENTION=4936725]oae08[/MENTION] would rather to have a reminder notification if i didn't misunderstood :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:

I dont know how to read the changelog .... but i have received the november update. I had tested using "krack scanner" from 'lambda softwares" before and after the patch and I can tell you the krack exploit has been fixed.

Update : I am not sure if we can trust the "krack scanner" app. From the comments, It does not seem to test the exploit itself, but rather to check if a certain security patch has been applied on your device. E.g. : some users say they installed an available security update for their device that is known to fix the exploit, but the app is reporting that their device is vulnerable. Then the developer says that he has updated the app to correct the error.
