I just received this email from HTC America on WM6 and thought I would pass it along.
We understand that knowing important details on release for your device is important. We'll be happy to provide you with assistance.
The AT&T 8525 is in the last phase for Windows Mobile 6 upgrade with AT&T wireless. It has already passed the testing phases with HTC, and has been passed along to AT&T's development team.

I thought it may interest a few here. So if we want the official release I guess we should start bugging ATT LOL like that would help.
Thanks for the reference. I hope that you checked the URL today - there is WM6 on the site now!

I checked the site they are still showing the old WM5 but the link in the other thread dl'ed the WM6 ver. LOL Now I just need to figure how to upload it to my phone because I installed OilPro's boot loader to the phone and am running one of the WM6 versions from here.
Not sure if I unpack the new shipped version if I can just use the custom wrapper from here to upload the new official version or not.
Well I contacted Huawei about ICS update for the S7-303u and this was their response
" Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting Huawei device. Sorry about that there is no official Android 4.0 version for S7-303u now. And we has developing the Android 4.0 for S7-303u now"
So I guess we just have to wait, but which knows for how long....

Can you ask them when do they plan on releasing the kernel source code?
Better question is if there will be JB.
what's the difference between S7-303u with S7-301 and S7-303u. thanks

The different bands that each one supports. S7-303u is the T-Mobile Springboard.

Hi, I have an M5 8.4 C636 which is Asia Pacific region and haven't had any updates since June. I'm running on version 153 but according to HFF app there are 2 new software versions (169 & 180) but they haven't come through on OTA and are not approved for installation (per HFF app) although they are correct for C636 regon
My bootloader is locked and I'm not rooted but I was going to unlock the bootloader and selected 'unlock bootloader' in developer options some time ago then decided not to unlock it. Think this has stopped the OTA updates.
Does anyone have any suggestions about manual update when none of the available software versions are approved for installation?
Thanks in advance

In the past they have been - but more recently, the speed has been OK. You just have to temper your expectations a bit.
Motorola used to have a reputation for fast updates, but when I last had a Motorola device, they were really slow at updates.
Huawei have committed to Android Enterprise, which delivers at least 1 major OS update (Android 9), and Google security patches for 3 years within 90 days of release by Google.
As we are on July 2018 patch, they have 30 days to deliver either Android 9 or Android 8 with a newer security update newer than July 2018, otherwise they fail at their enterprise commitment and leave themselves legally open to breaking contractual obligations (and potentially customer returns)
I'm on the August security patch for maybe the past two weeks so I'm hopeful that this will get updated regularly.
I see Huawei isn't providing unlock codes anymore, so I've been researching options before purchasing this phone. Having a rooted, unlocked phone with TWRP is rather important, imho.
It looks like this person successfully used DC Unlocker for ~$4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78665569&postcount=392
However, other people say "Funky Huawei" is the only working one, which is much more expensive: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78627440&postcount=6
I then see this post about firmware versions needed for DC unlocker to work, but for the Mate 10 "Pro" -- unsure if that also applies to the Mate 10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/finally-unlock-bootloader-mate-10-pro-t3850111
Buying from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Huawei-Mat...vHzekWP7zx0GEhBHmmrA:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true
... I'm unsure what firmware I'd get & I don't know how much that would matter. I'm hoping someone could help clarify: does DC Unlocker currently work on this phone, and how much trouble is it...?
Thank you!

HUC? What & where is that? BLA-AL00 which is the "pro" -- so that may not reflect my experience with a non-pro, correct?

BLA is the pro....
HUC is the one recommend in the guide u mentioned... Just a DC Unlock alternative from same developers...!
For what I read... It is about the firmware youare on... Mine is old... I think if ur security level is beyond June 2018...u can be less fortunate with the HUC... But it is just 4 EUR.... If u really want to unlock.... Try it....
Only way right now is:
HCU by dc-unlocker. This will not work on firmware after June 2018 (check security patch).
Ministry of solution, this service might come back, it's currently down and cost $30....
FunkyHuawei, expensive as hell.
You can also void your warranty by opening your device up and flash board software with testpoint. This would allow you to use HCU while on board software. This is not recommended at all if you don't know what you're doing.
Edit: Hopefully your firmware is not updated. DO not update when you get it.

It is a refurb, so warranty is likely already run out. May you point me to instructions to flashing board software with testpoint, just in case?

It's using old bootloader so chances are high, at least
You usually get a refund from DC anyway.
I just hope it doesn't complain about Security Patch date without even trying.

This guy:
https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html
... said only 8.1.0.110C567 & 8.1.0.111(C567) is "supported" for his method, and not mine (8.1.0.120(C567))
After giving my information to global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com, they said "Yes, order and wait for updates to finish", which I presume is related to their "WE ARE TESTING THE HUAWEI BOOTLOADER CODES NOW: AFTER TEST RESULTS ORDERS WILL BE PROCEED" message on their website:
https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
I also presume this is the same thing that has FunkyHuawei (still) down.
I did try doing the "read bootloader code" from DC unlocker (without buying any credits yet), just to see what would happen, and got this message:
Reading bootloader code...
unknown error (375)
I assume if it was due to not having an account, it would say invalid username or not enough credits.... so I'm worried this means DC Unlocker won't work.
So, I'm kinda stuck, I guess? I don't want to use the phone, since I will have to either reset it when getting a bootloader unlocked, or "give up" on getting a bootloader code and update to EMUI 9.
Hoping for any advice...
I had 8.0.0.129 on my usa mate 10 pro with December security patch purchased 4 credits from DC logged in and was able to get my bl unlock code.
DC Unlocker support came back saying "your error means that current version of android in your device has new security patch and is not supported yet."
So, looks like I'm already past the point of no return (aka no "easy" bootloader unlock code). My best chance at getting a bootloader unlock code is via IMEI methods like FunkyHuawei if they return, which firmware & security patch version don't seem to matter. My phone apparently is covered under a warranty, which I don't want to invalidate (which unlocking your bootloader does). So, even if I got an unlock code, I'd likely not use it for awhile. Considering all of that, and the desire to start using my phone... I upgraded the firmware planning to get EMUI 9 Pie (which I'm clearly not going to get via custom ROMs anytime soon). If FunkyHuawei or the cheaper "global unlock" options return, I'll consider trying them out... :-/

You had 8.0.0.129, while I had 8.1.0.120. There are more numbers than just the last 3.
I tried DC Unlocker, and it gave me an error that everyone on the forum said means your Android version is unsupported. DC Unlocker's support said the same thing.
I'm glad you got yourself a bootloader unlock code. I wish I could have... maybe if the IMEI method opens up again (which I doubt), I'll get one someday...

I realized yesterday, for some reason, I'm in the Mate 10 forum when I have a Honor View 10. That is why our firmware numbers don't seem to make sense

Hi @ante0 / all
I note from https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html that they want $4 (not $30)
BUT
They are also stating that "Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20 Lite, Huawei P Smart (These models only supported if have older firmware version)"
I am stuck with two new-ish Mate 10 Pro phones that fail with DC tools. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=78901016#post78901016
I'm guessing my phone has new-er firmware and that's why DC tools failing
Any suggestions?

That's only for old phones/old firmware. New unlock was here: https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-service-all-new-models-new-firmwares
But it's closed. It seems to be closed for everyone now so no go.
DC will only work on phones with firmware on May 2018 or earlier (In most cases. Some custs do work on June/July but that only seem to be the case with carrier custs)
So you're out of luck...
