Honor Germany said that the 7x will get pie,so that's something good
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It was supposed to get Pie anyway. Every phone gets two major Android Updates (i.e Nougat to Oreo) and three years of security updates. 6X originally launched with Marshmallow. It got updated to Nougat and then Pie. 7X launched with Nougat. It got Oreo and it will get Pie. Besides, EMUI 9 sucks. I'd take a custom ROM over EMUI any day.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
hi all. i have been away from the forum for sometime.

So i need to know how can i get the OTA oreo?

My device is manually updated to oreo should i have to revert back to Nougat to get oreo OTA.If so how can i do that?

Mine is an BLN-L22C675(Indian variant).I have twrp and my bootloader unlocked.

So once again what should i do to get official Oreo ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Yeah go back to Nougat,send them your device details which they ask...and you should be getting the OTA.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
how can i rollback?....is there any rollback package available for indian variant? or is there any other method i should use?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If you are on Oreo already than why go back just to get Indian Oreo? Or are you on Chinese Oreo? There is a way to rebrand without Roll Back but it might brick your device. Though it's a soft brick. And can be fixed
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
is the OTA oreo any different from manually updated oreo from ff?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I don't think so. I'm on a Pie Custom ROM and hence have no idea. Bit if your bootloader is unlocked you can flash the updates via Hurupdater
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
i just want to try the oreo that came with OTA and see if its better than the one we manually updated,bcoz i heard there are many fixes in it and i would like to receive security updates regularly as well.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Update via Hurupdater
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
Many users managed to rollback to Nougat by dloading b340 or b365, I have not tested this myself thou.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] JOE149:
Hi... Anyone suggest highlight and shadow saturation level for gcam for front and rear camera
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamed.sh:
When Oreo comes for me?

Honor 6X

BLN-L21C185B389

EMUI 5.0.4
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Never. Only C675 and China models getting it officially. Other models gets it only if they debrand to either of these regions.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamed.sh:
MOD EDIT: REMOVED! Racist remarks will NOT be tolerated on this site!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
He is telling the truth. BLN-L21 won't be getting the Oreo Update. Only BLN-L22 and BLN-ALXX will get it
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
How to debrand it. I'm also from middle east.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It will automatically be debranded if you use HWOTA 8 to update to EMUI 8 but it requires an unlocked Bootloader
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
So how is Oreo running for all the users....mine is doing pretty good
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Tamil15:
I think Oreo is the best build for Honor 6x :) expect the Themes Part :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] biki_prasad13:
Yaa all good here
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aditya Tondwalkar:
its much better than nougat..!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hamid1999:
Can I install this with dload?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
But theme works fine with oreo.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Nope
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
Hi, can you please ellobrate, you mean to download EMUI 8 and flash through dload method? Will it work?

My bootloader is unlocked.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Dload won't work. You'll have to use HWOTA to update. Is your phone BLN-L22 or BLN-ALXX? If not that HWOTA will automatically debrand to either of those two. If you have an Unlocked Bootloader go for HWOTA. It's simple and has almost no chance of failure. Because of partition changes in EMUI 8, Dload might fail. If you want help on using HWOTA just ask
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
Yes, please help how to use HWOTA. I am having BLN-L21 I hope no more Oreo update for this model. So, thought debrand to BLN-L22 for Oreo update.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Download the three firmware files from Firmware Finder for BLN-L22. I don't know the exact model number. I'll search and let you know. Anyway download the three files from LATEST FULL-OTA OR IT WILL NOT WORK. Next download HWOTA for Honor 6X. Search for it. Once you have these files lemme know

BLN-L22C675. Search for it and download latest FULL-OTA. Not the patch but latest FULL-OTA
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
Hi, I downloaded all the files as informed. My phone is unlocked with twrp recovery
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Do you have a PC? Extract the HWOTA folder to the root of your C. Next rename the three downloaded files as follows:

Update.zip -> Don't Rename

Update_data_full_public.zip -> update_data_public.zip

The last file to -> update_all_hw.zip

Now copy the three files to the Update folder inside HWOTA 7. Boot your phone into bootloader and run update_eng. Just hit enter. When it asks you to boot to TWRP, just disconnect your phone and then hold power button. When it turns back on, hold Volume Up and it will boot into TWRP. Then reconnect phone and hit enter twice. After that it has prompts. Just follow along.

Update from -> using the script -> Change location -> BLN-L22. At the end of the process, keep your bootloader unlocked. If you need any help just ask.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
Hi, everything is completed,

now my phone booted to twrp. Do I need to reboot to system ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
I tried many times, it is booting to twrp only.

After bootloader unlocked, phone booted to twrp after that i need to do anything or just remove phone and reboot to system.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Remove phone and boot to system. When it's turning on hold Volume up to boot to eRecovery and factory reset.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] march9:
After updating to Oreo I have noticed dimming in all browsers and some apps. Auto brightness is off and haven't enabled any power saving mode. Please help.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aditya Tondwalkar:
everyone has this issue bro .. u are not alone... its a bug may be
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
And thats not limited to 6X but in v10 as well. So must be emui 8 thing to prevent eyes, battery or whatever
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aditya Tondwalkar:
yeah...
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] paukalexk:
Broh how did you unlock your bootloader please help
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
There is only one method to unlock the bootloader
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
Anyone received Oreo via OTA? I'm still on Nougat B369.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Tek_No:
I flashed Oreo B510 weeks ago and I'm not even getting the B520 update :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Sometimes, when flashing from FF, you may not get future OTAs.

Still, wait a bit more, you might get it :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] paukalexk:
Same here no updates are available
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Yep still many users are waiting for the update even after registration for it
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
That's bad, I even hear some ppl that registered got response that their devices won't get Oreo (assuming they are on Indian version) but I'm not sure about details, I saw it somewhere on Honor forum. Is it possible that Honor could lock out rebranded devices from getting Oreo based on serial number?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No I don't think so. Besides for rebranding you'd need an unlocked Bootloader. If you have that then you can manually update to Oreo
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
What worries me is that I asked in live chat and they said they won't provide any services for devices purchased outside India even though I mentioned that I'm on bln-l22. I'll send email with device info and see their response. I'll leave manual update as last solution.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
I got their response and they say same thing "We are here to provide support to India Region. As you have purchased your device from out of India we would suggest you to contact to the regional support in order to resolve your query."

And regional support say that there is no Oreo information for my device. But ofc they don't have information because Oreo is only available for India.

I guess it's Manuel update for me then. They always ask for serial number to find if the is purchased in India or not, and as soon as they see that it's not they refuse to give anymore assistance so you can't register for the update outside India. Does this mean that OTA update will never go live for non registered devices?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] cyclon1978:
That would be good - the new ota updates locks your device permanent, no downgrade possible, no unlock even with code, so you should not install otas anymore!

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Probably it will not. Oreo is only for China and India as of now with no news for other regions and only way to get it, is to debrand and use manual method.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Actually I didn't send my details. I've won the band before so I choose to save for the 6X or the Bluetooth headphones in this case.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
Thats right, i'm currently downloading the firmware for manual update as i already debranded to indian version.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Yep as the 6x is approaching it's 2 year mark this month,I think you should not even expect any more security patch updates as well.Custom roms are the way now
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That isn't also looking that good. Since Huawei shut down the Bootloader Unlock and their stubbornness on releasing proper sources, many developer have quit development for Huawei. As such there are only a few Device Specific builds available in the P8 Lite forums and even some of those developer have abandoned those. Only hope now are GSI but even that's a 50-50. Many GSI Don't boot and even those that do are not working properly. So, yeah. Ditch Huawei, Buy OnePlus or Xiaomi. Getting a 6T myself soon. Fu*k Huawei. :svetius:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
Is there any stable pie ROMs that I should try? I'm already on emui 8.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
There are Pie ROMs but many Dont boot. But try AOSP Extended by DarkJoker360. It's available in the P8 Lite 2017 forums.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
Great; i'll give it a try. i just want to know if twrp backup will be enough if i want to revert to stock rom just in case?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Unfortunately no. You'll have to Reflash stock via Hurupdater.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
thanks; is there a specific twrp version to install this rom and i'm confused to which Gapps i should install from these?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
https://mega.nz/#!gzRHFaxL!cIuYgdGhSsMsTR318up2jDJOf8i5-yQFS-WpB2caGv4

Use this TWRP. And for Gapps get ARM 64 Nano for 9.0 you can use any package above Nano. And if you want a more customized installation use Aroma package
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] cyclon1978:
I just restored system and data and was back on stock to revert the forgotten fingerprints.... Worked fine.

Hi..anybody using substratum theme engine in 6X ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Shurykan:
Hi guys,

I got an Honor 6x (indian version) and still on Marshmallow, cause I love to take photos with it and eared that the Nougat version ruined the pictures.

Now I was hoping that Oreo would solve that matter.

So I would like to know if the Oreo version is worth a try, is the pictures and Night Mode working properly? is there any bugs unsolved?....basically, if Oreo work perfectly on Honor 6x.

Many thanks to everybody!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Edwin Davis:
There was some issues with camera on the first update of nougat...and later it got solved...the cam is working fine...and no issues with cam in the oreo update too...its working well.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
Hey guys i have reverted back to Android 7 to get Official oreo but i havent gotten oreo update yet.Is there anything i have to do to get oreo update?

or this problem is because my bootloader is left unlocked,should i relock bootloader to get oreo?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
That is not required for update. You can wait for this week maybe.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
i also heard we have to send a mail to get oreo faster is that true?bcoz i didnt send any
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Few users sent their details for the same so you can try the same
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
P8 Lite is getting EMUI 9. It has the same specs as Honor 6X. Any chance we will get Pie
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
i dont think so ...honor 6x already got 2 os updates from 6 to 7 and 7 to 8
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
May be any developer can port it, similar to earlier cases
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SRI HARI RAJAN:
of course that can happen but android 9 OTA probably wont happen
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Ported isn't of any use. The reason I want it is because of the EMUI 9 Vendor. The thing is that Newer version of many of the Pie ROMs out there no longer boot as they require Pie Vendor we still have Oreo Vendor and they don't boot. But many of the users who updated to Pie can now boot them. That's why I'm so interested in it. A port of EMUI 9 will be the System.img only
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Who said Honor 8 lite is getting pie?.As. Far as it is known only 7x is confirmed for its 2nd major os upgrade...and why will they update it as it's the only device left with the 655
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Actually it is. In the Update.app for the 7X in the Verlist.img PRA (codename of P8L) is mentioned and two people were able to flash it successfully. I believe it's gonna be similar to Oreo rollout for the 6X.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
OTA, not for sure. It will be ported one only as this is old device and many users having unlocked bootloader so this may be easier, well depends on Developers interest as well.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Currently no one is interested. Honestly since Huawei isn't gonna provide us unlock codes at least increase the support. The Honor 6X has the same specifications as the P8 Lite. In fact it's better if the two. Developing for it shouldn't be that difficult. In fact as both have the same chipset (Kirin 655) Huawei can easily roll out EMUI 9.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
How long does Huawei provide updates to it's midrangers?..any rough idea?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
24 months for all the devices, 2 major upgrade and then security patches for 3 years may be
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Every company is Required to provide two major OS updates and three years of security updates. 6X got it's two. Even though Oreo is Region Restricted. And frankly speaking I wouldn't care about the Pie for 6X if it wasn't for the ROMs and since P8 Lite and 6X have identical specs it shouldn't be difficult for Huawei
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] cyclon1978:
655 and 659 are practically identical. So there is a chance to port emui 9 vendor.

Gesendet von meinem Aquaris X5 Plus mit Tapatalk
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Actually the P8L also has the 655. In fact in terms of specs the 6X is actually better than the P8L
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
P8 lite getting pie really? Where I live it's sold as GR3 2017 and marketed as the cheaper and lesser version of GR5 2017 aka Honor 6x. And Oreo won't be realised for GR5 2017 while GR3 2017 had it, it's like you pay more and u get less. Imagine if u buy S9+ but only the smaller S9 will get another major upgrade. Huawei bamboozled us.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well yes. I agree that the 6X is better than the P8L in many ways. But unfortunately the Specs Don't decide the update. OEM does. Honor 6X launched with EMUI 4 or Androids 6. It received it's two major updates i.e Marshmallow to Nougat and then Nougat to Oreo. P8L launched with Nougat. It got Oreo. It should get Pie. We only know this cause in the Verlist.img of 7X Pie P8L is listed as compatible. Anyway if P8L gets Pie it should be possible to debrand our 6X to P8L and then manually update. 7X already has Pie but some users tried the above on it and touch didn't work.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] horst37:
Oreo only in india and china. We read 2017 in europe "all upgrades for two years". I debranded to L22 to get Oreo by OTA. Now I read some informations, no OTA upgrades to Oreo, if phone debrandet to chinese ore indian version, only if origin version. If manually upgradet no more updates via OTA.

Does anybody know more? Firmware Finder does not help, latest listed updates are August 2018.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Search BLN-L22HNC.... BLN-L22 doesn't have new firmware since August....they changed us to BLN-L22HNC after that
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
That's the latest firmware I have on my 6X
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] horst37:
Thank you for this information. I got from debranding B368 and then OTA B369. There is an instruction to manualy change from this to Oreo. But I read not very rare about bricked phones. A known experienced user bricked it apperently not repairible.

I am a little bit confused: Many indian 6x owners got oreo via OTA autumn last year, but now I read often from users with BLN-L22C675B369 waiting for upgrade to oreo.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Can Emui 9 navigation gestures be ported to our device?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Haroun:
I was waiting for OTA after debranding to BLN-L22C675 but it didn't come, I asked in live chat and they said that they will only support devices purchased in india, so probably OTA will never come to debranded devices, your best solution is to update to Oreo manually u can check shashank's guide for that.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Try Fluid Navigation Gesture. It's not EMUI 9 but close enough
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
