How can I update my Huawei honor 5X to the latest software (marshmallow). Usually I went to setting and open updater but when I tap "Check for updates" it says "No updates" though I have old an version.
Here are a few details which I found in "About phone" in settings menu.
KIW UL00
Android version 5.1.1
Android security patch level 1 February 2016
EMUI version EMUI 3.1
The method to do a forced manual update has been posted many times on this site. Please do a search of this site first. Download the APP from Honor website, create a folder named dload on your sdcard. Rename the downloaded APP file to update. app and place it in the dload folder. Now go to Updater and do an update from local source or force the update by using the dialer and dialing *#*#2846579#*#*. However, using the latter version will wipe out your data.

But is there even an official Marshmallow update for this model KIW-UL00?
OP, what regional variant is that?
I believe that this is the Chinese variant. It supports TD-LTE and different bands than US model. I would suggest contacting the Chinese Honor site regarding update.

Yeah, I believe you are correct. I found that variant on the Chinese website. It doesn't appear the Marshmallow update is available though.

Hello SplinteX54;67824693, I'd love to assist you. Although your device states there is no update, we please ask for your patience. The Honor 5X update to Marshmallow is a staged roll out, meaning not everybody gets it at once. We send out the updates in daily batches. The selection of customers who get the update is random. We want you to enjoy Marshmallow and not have any issues. Thanks for your interest. We appreciate you. (ED)
Open the HiCare app (Download form playstore if you don't have it yet, open it and select 'OS Upgrade Early Adopters'. Might work.
It has actually been posted quite a few times. Please do a search, I am quite you will find a tutorial.

So you know, the lollipop versions of the 5x were B1xx and the MM versions are B3xx
So b301 - b310 - b320 - b340 - b350 all = MM
Oh.. Thanks for the Info @clsA
You can update through HiCare app or by manual update.
Update via HiCare app:
1. Install the latest version of HiCare application from Google Play from the following link - http://bit.ly/1sEiY1V
2. Open HiCare application -> select region as Asia Pacific and location as Malaysia -> Click on OS upgrade option.
3. Go through the Version Update details and agree to the terms and conditions -> click on Apply.
4. Click on system update in the Pop-up appeared and then click on check for updates.
5. You will find the New version update (If it is available) -> click on it and update to the latest version.
Manual update via OTA file:
1. First, download Android 6.0 OTA file for Honor 5X from http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=83346&version=327474&siteCode=in
2. Now create a folder dload in the root of your internal storage or SD card and place the update.app file in that folder.
3. Now go to the phone settings–>update and press the menu button.
4. Now select choose Local update.
5. It will detect the update.app and installation process will start.
6. Wait until the installation process is complete and then reboot your device.
The manual update file belongs to indian version (KIW-L22). Since you said the same version, hoping so there wont be any difference.
Try manual ota update, far better than hicare
hicare app may do the job, just update to latest hicare app version from the play store, open it and select ur region and click on 'OS UPDATE EARLY ADOPTERS'
Im on this build : KIW-L22 c636b130

the rest of the stock recovery forums with KIW L22
ARE all India variant. It doesnt work on KIW L22 Malaysia variant. I have tried ALL of it and all met with disappointment.
I have also tried with Hi-care application(old and new). I tried check updates and change location to Malaysia and checked as well. And as usual met with disappointment.. Nothing pops out.
I'm just hoping if there's anyone that have KIW L22 Malaysia variant ones(not the India variant ones).. Update.app ; Please share it here. Thank you very much.

India is one of the biggest markets, especially in mid-range, that's why they give priority, but again it's not good to see regions treated unfairly

Why should they use their resources on the region which doesn't asks update? That's the reason. May be.
As of my knowledge from the forums, people using India, UK and US variant are only asking for update. So they provide only for them.
Providing update for the need of only 10 persons will be cost inefficient for the region that doesn't requires update.
Malaysian users do want the latest update, malaysia is the biggest consumer of smartphone.
maybe because of some weird reasons, they are just being avoided.
I think their main focus is on US, EU and India
Hi,I am using HONOR 7x BND-L21 IN MIDDLE EAST and it is not receiving update to Android 8.0......thereby all my friends who have bought it in India are receiving this update.......What can I do to get the update ASAP...

I'm guessing you meant Bnd-l21c185b141 or Bnd-l21c185b144 ?
You could try one of this two methods:
1) try the 'Nougat Update to Oreo' part of this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649
with the BND-L21C185CUST185D1B330 available on FirmwareFinder.
or
2) Replace your nougat stock recovery with the 'BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img' from the previous link and then you can use FirmwareFinder's android apps to force update to BND-L21C185CUST185D1B330.
Both method will need you to have both bootloader and bootloader's FRP already unlocked.
Thanks for your help........But I was not able to do the methods you gave to install it.....But I got another one....and that one is to Get that software-
In firmware finder there is an option to get it by In-App proxy.so can I update it by that way?????
Coz after seeing videos and videos I understood it.....

You're describing my second method.
It won't work without replacing stock recovery with 'BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img' because the firmware you'll like to install is not 'Approved'.
Sry for disturbing you again and again....what will happen if I install the firmware which is not approved coz I'm not able to understand how to do it...
nothing will happens, firmware will be erased from phone and you will get an 'install failed'

i did upgrade a middle east version of honor 7x to Orio and installation failed and it's brick. i just have access to fastboot. The phone not fully orio and not Noughat! no recovery works!
Better is to wait for the official update..
I asked in hicare when will we receive the update they said between July and September.......
So I'm waiting for the update
Hi guys,
today i updated my Honor 10 from COL-L29C432B151 (8.1.0.151) to COL-L29C432E4R1P9B159 (9.0.0.159).
At build no it now shows COL-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.0.177.
But it still tells me that there is an update available (which won't OTA because device is rooted etc.)
I thought i used the latest version available
At Firmware finder is see
Col-L29DC10E3R1P13T8B177 (9.0.0.177),COL-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.0.177 as OTA-MF and
Col-L29DC10E3R1P13T8B177 (9.0.0.177) as FullOTA-MF (what i think i need).
Do i have to update to one of those
I think that's the small update for fixing camera app and call issue.
It looks like you get an Firmware for another device? Firmwarefinder (Andropidapp) Shows only .159. for the Honor 10 COL-L29C432.
FunkyHuawai shows also the .159 as latest firmware: https://funkyhuawei.club/fulllist
Only a patch. See the screenshot below.
i'm just a bit confused right now.
In the past my build version was like COL-L29 8.1.0.151(C432).
Yesterday i flashed COL-L29C432E4R1P9B159 (9.0.0.159) LINK
And now it looks like this:
Why is the regional code C432 missing?
Can i now flash every firmware?
There is a 9.0.0.160 available
COL-L29C10E3R1P12B160 (9.0.0.160)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i think this is for russia.
The latest firmware i can find for col-l29c432 is the one i just flashed yesterday: COL-L29C432E4R1P9B159 (9.0.0.159)
So why is my phone showing an available patch?
Don't they create a new firmware for every patch?
Or is the latest one just missing in huawei firmware finder?
just officially updated
best regards
Mine's now also on the latest patch: 9.0.0.159(patch01) and not showing update available any more.
But it still doesn't show C432 and the other stuff..?
Still confused
Hi, I recently bought a (brand new) Honor 8X from an online store (I'm based in Belgium). It would not upgrade to the new Android 9. It has rolled out in Belgium, so I'm kinda stumped my device would not update. I checked the system information and saw a line "Custom Version CUSTC432D1". I'm a noob concerning technical Android details, and I was wondering:
1) What does it do
2) How did it get there
3) Is this custom version able to prevent an update?
Thanks so much for your information!

Hi there
1. Would not update: EMUI 9 is still not officially available to everyone, even sometimes within same country. Hard to say why.
2. "Custom version" - this is strange, maybe its a network operator based version. Vodafone for example will add some default apps to the firmware. Not necessarily a problem and should stop updates
3. Try downloading "huawei firmware finder" from Play store and see if you can update with this one
4. What is your exact device model? This is important to know. The model numbers starts with JSN-xxxxxxx

Hey. For point 2) just for the sake of it, I bought another device (from a physical store this time, in my country), and the same Customer Version was on there. So I assume that's normal.. (Afterwards, I returned it)
3. I found firmware, but for my 'code' (JSN-L21C432CUSTC432D1B136') it only goes to 8.2.0.136
4. My build number is JSN-L21 8.2.0.136 (C432)
It's probably just not available for my specific custom version..
Thanks for the info!
EDIT: was too fast on point 3 and did find some firmware
Hi, I am using Huawei p20 lite with the build number ANE-LX2C636 and I have been stuck with EMUI 8 for years now and I want to update it to 9 using Firmware Finder, the question is which update should I choose from the list (I know how to check if the update is compatible with my device) since there is a lot and my Android version is very old, should I just install every compatible update starting from the bottom or what?
Thank you guys for your help.

Over the course of one month I've tried everything you said two times each, I even contacted Huawei local costumer service and they replied and I quote: "Judging by your IMEI number it doesn't appear that you have a Huawei device at the first place, that is why you don't get updates", so yeah, the phone that I've purchased from an official vendor with a relatively higher price than the free market isn't even registered.
Note: yesterday I tried to download a FullOTA ANE-LX2 EMUI 9.0. update via Firmware Finder and the download unfortunately failed.

FF won't help you, you can try get bootloader unlock code for 4euros on hcu-client.com , then rebrand your phone to global version. Or, buy Service ROM on easy-firmware for 17euros and upgrade your phone to EMUI 9.1 using dload method (yes, crazy ). Sorry, I can't help you anymore
P.S.: try a google search to find the method "patched HiSuite" or "proxy HiSuite", it may help you. Good luck!
