[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] stephboyle127:
I have it approved on FF but I keep getting unstable network and it won't download. Even tried downloading for manual install but even that doesn't work. Any ideas or is it just a waiting game. oh and this is unlocked device.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
Proxy, system update

About 60+ mark it'll be a little unstable( was for me) but at that point you can take the WiFi off or change back the WiFi settings
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] stephboyle127:
Proxy, system update.

I have the unstable network right from the offset. First time I tried it, it only managed about 17% but since then fails straight away. No matter what network it's on it always fails.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Wouarzazat:
No update for the moment. French Polynesia.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Danni92:
Still no OTA for me in the UK. I tried FF and it says 360a even with DNS and the VPN thing so I think I'll just have to wait for the OTA.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] fregor:
Umm.. B360A is the current Oreo version. You could try and push it with proxy setup on your phone. Read the instructionss that comes with the app.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
Either your IMEI still haven't been approved or something is wrong

Have you tested 05 & 07
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Danni92:
I tried the Proxy thing and it shows me an update but it is still the version with the A at the end.

I tried the IMEI thing and it says it's approved for installation but I only see the version with the A. I don't understand what you mean by testing on 05 & 07.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
If it's approved then you over WiFi follow the in app proxy description for the settings changes

once that's done you go to the system update and it should find it just remember it'll take a little long than most
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Danni92:
Thanks for your help. I changed the Proxy setting and went through the normal update thing and it displays a update but it's the same one without the Proxy with the A at the end. It says Full OTA and is dated 7th February. I have no idea what the A at the end means but some said it could be Alpha so not the latest version.

I've only had my phone about 6 weeks and had a couple of updates so maybe mine is taking longer because it's further down the line of being recognised as being powered on. I don't know and don't really understand it all.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
have the same version definitely isn't an alpha build.

previous updates were only security patches

push it
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Danni92:
It downloaded and then verified. Then it said Patch 2 update and then changed the file size to 5.65GB. Fingers crossed it's not going to break.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] GottaEatAllTheBreads:
Had a talk with support and they say no guarantee that Android updates will happen. Widevine support still a no show too. Selling my Honor 9 and getting a Samsung Galaxy S9. This is utter bull.

Did it work OK?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Danni92:
Yes, it worked no problems at all and once installed it didn't show the A. It came down as two files but restarted and installed without a problem so I'm happy.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
I'm running B360 of January 31st, installed through OldDroid's thread and on FF there's a newer version of B360. FF says it's IMEI authorized but after downloading, setting up proxy, and sending to system update, I click reboot to install the update but the update always fails.

What could be the problem?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Samson Nosmas:
Do it and have fun! :good:;)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
March OTA seems to be on the way out dated 20/3

Adds face unlock aswell as march's security patch
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
I've seen it too on FF but doesn't seem to be Oreo though...
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] fregor:
Yea, odd.

B184 should indicate that it is based on nougat.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
On FF there's two versions a patch and a fullota

Both labeled as b184 one definitely is the Oreo update though

Could be honor will use patches to maybe fill the between b180 /b360
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] fregor:
What do you base this on?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
Well the security patches are always small plus why would honor send a patch out to a older system that being nought

This was put in a thread not long after the official Oreo push

Confirmed that the Chinese variant of the phone was getting it
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] fregor:
Well, in that case, the build number/version is f_ed up.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
OTA today on FF with B362 (8.0.0) without the "a" in the end.

So for me this means that 184 has to be Nougat and 362 is the Oreo one.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] modest.young:
b184 contains Nougat for sure. At least regarding content of UPDATE.app file.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] fregor:
Very different changelogs though. B184 seems to be a feature update, while B362 is a security patch.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
Noticed that too, but B362 is the only one with the "(8.0.0)" tag on it...
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
Seems and looks that B184 will just slip under oreo, just noticed B362 patch on FF
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Double Chin Bigot:
Hello,

I'm on this version for the C432 region (Europe). Is this the latest? FF is listing some 362 zips but I don't know...
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
That's what I'm running at least. B362 still says not authorized in FF...
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Double Chin Bigot:
My best guess is that 362 is an upcoming release with newer Google security patches
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
It's what it says in the changelog...
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Wouarzazat:
Finally get oreo.

Already hate it.

Why : the font is just horrible.

It's not changeable, and it's the same with all the apps. All the apps get this horrible font.

Even with a "iFont" app, they are all same look.

What else. No ameliorate with Wi-Fi : I have a modem to take with me outside, with limited data (4g) and just can't say to limit the download with this Wi-Fi(Spotify download, playstore downloads...) . I can do that with other phones, and it's just frustrating since the beginning I have this phone.

Data : my data reset the 15th each month. Still impossible to say this phone to reset the 15th. It always reset the 1st day...

Camera : still impossible to change the camera (front back) with a simple swipe. Little thing, ok, but so annoying...

Have new notifications that say "this app is still running in background" so what? I use them (ex Tasker) so stop bothering me!

I just can't do a silent notification with a new mail in Gmail, or I am stupid, I have to disable sound in Gmail parameter (not directly in the app).

What else. This skinny font is just horrible, do I talked about it? XD

Ah yep : the restart of the phone : no application loading without type the password... Why, just why? I have Tasker, alarm, everything else that just don't start until unlock my restarted phone! First time I see that. Imagine it bug and restart at night and then my alarm just don't work?!

And about Tasker : it works when it want (or I think when honor let it work) and it's very frustrating. Even with all parameters "ignore battery optimization" "don't turn off app screen off".....

I seriously think about changing rom. I got xenon HD with my last honor 5x and it was soooo much great and faster...

Honor 9 is way faster than honor 5x native rom, so I can't imagine with another rom.

I forgot : the application to turn screen off without clicking the button just disappear with oreo. I program a task in Tasker swipe up in nova launcher, and greenify apps then once finished, launch the locker apps, (lock directly with greenify don't allow finger unlock) but now that it disappear, I can't lock my phone and have to click the button and I just don't like it.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Double Chin Bigot:
I actually like the Oreo update, it works just fine and the styling is decent for a stock skinned ROM. It fits my current needs.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Wouarzazat:
For people who doesn't like the new font as me, I found a way to make it like before.

Long click on the theme icon, choices will appear, just click "change font" then choose "Huawei font"
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
i had no clue you could do that :D
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Kasun72:
Anyone recieved face unlock and AR camera?It's there on FF but still not approved :(

Anyone still waiting for OTA Oreo update as I do? :D
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] thescouselander:
Yes, still waiting.....
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Butterflygran:
I am still waiting.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Ash21uk:
Yeh im still waiting im very disappointed was told when bought the phone 4 month ago it would get the new oreo update now im thinking its not true honor told me themselves there are no updates currently for my phone and nothing planned I won't be buying anymore huwaei or honor devices which is a shame as they r decent but not upto date
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] lybad:
Oreo is coming - look at the threads on the forum, there's no shortage of people with it, it's just that they are either in other countries, or used other methods to obtain it.

Honor and Huawei have a policy of support for 24 months on handset from release - that would normally be a OS version update in the first year, as well as feature updates, and then security updates in the second year. After that is anyone's guess. Still better than many companies do.

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] comibumbar:
if you want Android 8 you have to have b183 android 7 and then you get Android 8. I do not see the reason that you so badly think about Huawei when android 8 is available for 2 months for honor 9
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] lybad:
While that is true, I don't think it applies to all regions - neither my wife nor myself have received OTA updates since b183. And I don't know if many in the UK have received it without going through the FF route.

But then, that was why I made my previous response. I'm happy to wait for the OTA (but just wish it would happen soon).
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] comibumbar:
I understand, I do not know how in English but for Europe I'm sure that all regions will get it
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
Huawei as I understand, updates in waves, so many users will wait for a long time before receiving the update and others receive them more quickly.

EMUI 8 B362 is out since the 28th of March and is no longer considered a beta, so it should roll out to everyone eventually.

One thing to note though is that, as far as I know, if you have root and/or unlocked the bootloader, you won't receive any more OTA updates and have to update manually.

My experience with Oreo on this device has been extremely positive, from battery to performance, everything runs smoothly, BUT i have to point out one important thing that i noticed on other devices as well. If you update from Nougat to Oreo like a regular update (without wiping data or doing a factory reset afterwards) some things will not work very well and battery life is affected as well.

OEM's are allowing the update to be done without the user losing any data but that is doing more harm than good. I have confirmed this as well on a Xiaomi Mi5 and a Galaxy S8. Flickering screens, laggy app installation, increased battery consumption, bugs with some apps and other issues, ALL OF THEM SOLVED with a factory reset and setting up the device as new from the start.

So my advice is, when upgrading to Oreo, do a factory reset before the update or immediately after the update, and setup everything from scratch. Or, in XDA terms, clean install only.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] lybad:
My intention, once installed, is the factory reset. And, as if by magic, 8.0.0.360(C432) is available as an OTA on my phone this morning. Guess that'll be my evening sorted tonight.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] thescouselander:
Just downloading my update now!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] IRPnet:
Yes, got my update this morning. Seems to work okay and I didn't factory reset.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] thescouselander:
What security patch should the update have? My phone has January but I thought I read the update should have the March patch.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Aiwon:
Just got my OTA update today, I'm so happy :)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Paulo87:
Received B362 today. It looks like B360 with an updated security patch.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] G0AIX:
Yes OTA update received 2 days ago in UK
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Engi79:
Finally OTA is also in Czech Rep. - B360 so only January security updates
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] lybad:
Got B360 last Monday - 8 days later updated to B362. Makes you wonder why they didn't just release full B362 instead.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] 4r44444:
I just rebranded my Honor 9

Now I have Firmware: STF-L09C432B100

I can't find any OTA-Update

Tried also all modes in firmware finder to update.

HiSuite updating tells me I "already have the newest official developer firmware"

what other ways are there actual to update to Oreo?

Bootloader/FRP is locked and can't unlock since we cant get code from Huawei anymore.

NVM. "fixed". Simple lol.Just insterted SIM-Card from another Phone to instantly get OTA Update from Huawei. will not work if you dont insert sim card and be just connected by wifi.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] sinraal:
It is even possible to make the system see the 360a update via proxy FF. I havent tried updating though.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] ambitiousButRubbish:
I can't seem to get the FF proxy working, definitely running, but OTA app doesn't detect it, plus, if the firmware isn't approved with IMEI, I don't have much hope for the update listed, even if it should work, if anyone gets it working... Let us know.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] 4r44444:
I got it via OTA 1 hour ago.

You're right, but sometimes day by day is useful know at which point rollout is, i think one post per day will be right and isn't spam... just to know if situation change, for example in italy no one have recevied the update but HonorIT published on facebook roll out started Yesterday, i think server are very slow to add IMEI in phone verification list :) anyway, we can only wait :(

ps: sorry for bad english ...

Yes there are !! A user in a greek group we have about honor 9 in facebook has been updated and by his feedback , no bugs found so far and he showed us some new features.Honor had a beta programm running to discover bugs.

Dont judge honor by xiaomi's release who rolled and stopped the update twice of the A1 model....

I forgot about the numbers but anyway, on top of the older (beta) version they work, on top of the new (official) version they don't.

I've flashed it on top of the oreo beta and everything's working perfectly fine.

That totally makes sense. I think only the Beta members got a formal/official update before they eventually roll it out further.

Otherwise, this must be the worlds slowest rollout.
