Honor beta test - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

I've seen people on threads write about how they have the android Oreo beta for the European model (stf-lo9), but I can't find a way to sign up for the beta, only the us honor website has that function. Have I missed the entry date or is it just a select few that are chosen for the beta?

Yes, you have missed the date for joining the beta.

are you on the Beta test list or is that the official OTA ?

Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow (with 1st of April security path) + EMUI 4.0 are under beta test and are expected to be released in June. The beta update is also available for public release on demand, and you can also subscribe to beta update by filling up necessary information at https://club.hihonor.com/in/update....i-4-0-marshmallow-limited-public-release.2417.
Take a note that this update isn't stable yet and we have reported many issues to Honor for that, and should get fixes sooner.
You can update to CM13 UNOFFICIAL, but before you do, just have a look at the issues mentioned for CM13. If you can live with them, I suggest you go for CM13. I am not sure whether CM13 for Honor 5x will ever be OFFICIAL (I don't know what makes it unofficial and official). Personally, I won't move to CM unless it gets fingerprint support (which is not possible until Honor releases Android 6.0.1 sources for Honor 5x).

@pank.dhnd the sources is much enough with the kernel releases which is more enough to patch the system files and make fingerprint sensor work with dev sources aka Beta.
Though i've applied for beta tester and recieved my update where as i have also patched already with the security update B150. I doubt that will i face bootloop no longer i don't go downgrading the system or re-flasing stock with B130 and update it.
@gopinaidu77 Can i just uprade this OTA ? with B150 security patched with stock with no root ??
@clsA I just applied for Beta testing and i've got the OTA aswell. i have doubt that by this month end the stock- official update will roll-on will i be able to capture that too ? Or is it better to stay in stock and avail the offcial rather opting Beta (B130).
@kartrikpal update, then do full twrp backup then do what ever you want

What did you expect from a Budget category phone?
Redmi series are know only to get 1 android version upgrade.
Anyone flash it?
What Security Patch level is it on.
I will wait until xiaomi.eu release it.
And if xposed gets released for Nougat, I might consider using the Ported roms.

Android 8 with EMUI 8 for P9 & P9 Plus

Huawei P9 & P9 Plus will get Android Oreo with EMUI 8.
yes, perfect!!
good news, thx bro.
thxxxxxxxxxxx bro0o0o0o0
Let's hope for this
I have asked Huawei for the P9 Plus Oreo update, this is a translation of what they responded. Original message was in Dutch since I am from Belgium. I contacted my local Huawei support.
"We understand that you would love to have Android 8.0 on your device. On this moment, we do not have an exact date on when Android 8.0 will be available for your device, but it is to be expected on Q1 of 2018. Please be convinced that we are working to get all the devices with the required specs on the best software-update version, so most likely for your device as well. But when this is happening is still to be confirmed. We are currently working on the development for Android 8.0 update for the Mate 9, Mate 9 Pro, P10 and P10 Plus. When you will receive the update will also depent from your provider. Some provider tweak the update right before they sent it OTA to their customers. Please check for an OTA update regularly to see if there is an update available via: Settings - System update - Check for system updates."
I have a post dedicated to future updates. Check it out! https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/talk-future-updates-huawei-p9-plus-t3625111

You must contact EMUI directly & not the local Huawei Service, everytime local Huawei Service don't have any informations. EMUI 8 IS CONFIRMED FOR P9 PLUS, you can find also an article from xda site.
This is awesome, still a great phone that works stellar for me. And now the security patches have been ticking in lately so Huawei do start to look like the top notch they wants to be
This means that we are going to have project treble?

Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-A09 Android Pie 9 Update Release Date for US Customers

I talked to Huawei USA Customer support on 12-21-18 and they stated the for the model BLA-A09 US Model that it will start receiving the Android Pie 9 update around mid-January 2019 via the OTA update feature.
Latest from Huawei Customer support on 1-22-2019 @ 2:24 PM CST USA
The updates will be completed by the second half of February.
This depends on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
That would be the reason why it is not with you yet.
Nibiru2012 - So you're saying by the end of February or before?
Lisandro M. Since your device is indeed scheduled to be updated, is just a matter to wait and keep on verifying the updates on the notifications or using HiSuite.
They will be done, before the second half.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My phone updated today, Saturday January 26th Central Time USA
Official Build version is: BLA-A09 9.0.0.201 C567E6R1P11
I did a Factory Reset after the install, which always should be done when a major firmware update occurs. Phone seems to be running fine so far.
Will let it run after a full charge for next 24 hours or so to let the system smooth out and such.
BTW - the option IS AVAILABLE TO REVERT BACK TO THE OLD EMUI 8 IF DESIRED.
I'll believe it when I receive it. Customer support hasn't been reliable at all for me.
That said, I hope it's true this time.
Well, Huawei has been piss poor about updates for this device so I'd take that with a grain of salt and won't be holding my breath waiting for any updates or support from Huawei.
Lol a full month after the rest
.....
Naaa. They won't give us everything
Wish I could rebrand my phone to EU firmware without going through funky.

Wow, surprising to see an update on Firmware Finder. I thought it stopped working for the US model after not seeing any updates for over half a year.
Downloading this file now.....
I'm running a stock mate 10 pro, and just started downloading the two files. Can't I just flash my device after the downloads are complete? Will there be any complications? If I can't then oh well, I'll just end up deleting the files and wait till I get the notification to download ota.
US variant recently got the December security patch. Security updates have been there, but feature updates have been lacking. I got the last update a couple of days after finding out about it, but the combined October and November Patch took a month to reach my device. Pleasant surprise to see that the EMUI 9 OTA will likely be rolling out soon-ish.

Unless it is authorized it won't install anyway, besides the fact that the US model only does online updates, you can't download and install anything with this device
I checked firmware finder and the pie uptade for the US Mate 10 Pro is there but when I check firmware the application says "the firmware is not approved for installation".
What exactly does that mean?
Can I force the Pie update through the app?
Anyone install this on their US Mate 10 Pro?
Anyway guys i jumped the gun and did the update via firmware finder here is proof we finally have pie !!! .I can tell you the system update improved performance things are really snappy and really liking the pie theme layout enjoy ! Its probably only a matter of time till it hits the update ota servers but I was to greedy to wait and had to do it .
Do you have any directions on how to do it?
It still says EMUI 8.0, I thought we were getting the full EMUI 9.0?

That's not even the same build number that is on firmware finder (BLA-A09C567E6R1P11R201), nor is it EMUI 9 like the build on firmware finder. EMUI 8 is Oreo, EMUI 9 is Pie. EMUI is not just a "skin" as you put it. If in fact you installed something it sure wasn't what you think it is. Since you must have unlocked your phone and installed a custom recovery you pretty much could have installed anything (stock recovery won't allow you to install non authorized firmware).

It means exactly what it says, the firmware is not approved. Firmware that is not "approved" can't be installed as the stock recovery checks the approval, you can't force it using the firmware finder app. The only way you can install non approved firmware is to install a custom recovery that does not check.
How long you think till the update is approved? I just don't see the point of listing it if it's not approved yet.

From what I heard from Huawei customer support the rollout for the US model would start sometime in February, so I don't see that firmware on FF being approved any time before that. Also, based on the really piss poor record Huawei has on keeping their word on things I wouldn't bet on them keeping that date, so don't hold your breath waiting.
BLA-A09 updates will be completed by the second half of February.
I didn't feel comfortable with Firmware Finder app since the update wasn't an "OFFICIAL" update.
I was told that it depends on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
Here's a conversation I just had today with a Huawei Agent:
Welcome to Huawei
Lisandro M.Support Agent
Good
Lisandro M. Hi there! Thank you for reaching Huawei Device USA, how can I help?
Nibiru2012 - I was told that the Android Pie update for my Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-A09 would be available around Jan 15th. I keep checking but nothing shows up in the Update section of Settings.
Lisandro M. Hello. My name is Lisandro. Receive a warm welcome to our live chat! ??
I understand that updates are really important for you and I will do my best to provide the assistance that you need.
The updates will be completed by the second half of February.
This on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
That would be the reason why it is not with you yet.
Nibiru2012 - So you're saying by the end of February or before?
Lisandro M. Since your device is indeed scheduled to be updated, is just a matter to wait and keep on verifying the updates on the notifications or using HiSuite.
They will be done, before the second half.
Nibiru2012 - Okay... LOL! I will try to be patient then.
Lisandro M. I am also concerned about getting the very best for my phone too so I understand how you are feeling entirely.
Nibiru2012 - So around Feb. 16th or so? At the latest?
Lisandro M. Around that time, yes.
Let me invite you to use our HiCare app. On the forums you can have access to cool exploits for your device.
Since you are here, I will be more than glad to help you myself. HiCare is a Customer Service Center on the Go!!
Also, you can send this chat to your email clicking on the "envelope" icon. ?
Nibiru2012 - Thank you very much! Have a good day. I already have the HiCare app plus the HiSuite for my PC
Lisandro M. Finally, in order for us to improve the Huawei experience as a consumer and valued customer,
I would like to invite you to participate in 2 brief surveys. The first one is a two-question survey to evaluate my service and will appear after closing this chat. The second one will be received through the HiCare app in your device, which is meant to evaluate your experience with our brand.
Your satisfaction is our greatest motivation. ??
Before we end this chat, please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you?
Nibiru2012 - All is good - Thank You! Please send copy to my email.
Lisandro M. Once again this is Lisandro from the Huawei Live Chat Support.
Have a wonderful day!

Can someone explain the MIUI versioning number strategy? 10.x vs 9.x

I'm a little confused here:
I'm currently running 10.3.4.0 Global on my pocophone, but when checking miui forums I see new beta's arise like 9.4.26 and now 9.5.6.
So why is that version number lower than the current stable one?
Can someone explain the approach Xiaomi has on this?
Previously had an S7 edge, there it was simple: higher number = newer built.
Beta numbering depends on release date.
For example,
9 means year, 5 means month and 6 means date.

Actually I think the first number is based on the Android version.
For examply 9.4.25 is the April 25th release version of the Android Pie (9) MIUI skin

You are on MIUI 10.3.4.0.
The latest is version of year (201)9 of MIUI 10 that came out on the 6th of May (5th month)
EDIT: sorry, hadn't refreshed and didn't see it had been answered.
Slightly confused, am on 10.3.4.0 so what does it read as? Because it is Android 9 .

I think it means miui "10" March 4th release or something.
Edit: hmm.. For stable version, I'm sure that 10 stands for miui version. But "3.4.0" can't be explained by same logic like beta because there's 10.0.6.0(oreo). Well, at least it's not android version.

MIUI 10 is based on Android 9, but it is MIUI 10.
MIUI 10 for poco had 3 major updates (10.3) the 3rd update had 4 sub-updates (10.3.4) and no bug-fix updates (10.3.4.0)
The 9.4.26, 9.5.6, etc of the beta versions is "year"."month"."day"
Thanks to a for explanation. How often do Xiaomi update with security patches or are they only updated with MIUI updates? Current security on my phone is 1 March 2019.
Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
Poco frequently updates security patch quickly in Miui Beta
