Hi Everyone,
Newbie here! I just want to know if anyone knows if there will be a release of marshmallow update for j200gu. Last January, this device was included as one of those that would be updated to marshmallow. However, it's almost year end but still no Marshmallow update. All I get is security updates. Anyway, does anyone here knows if google made this for J2?
Thanks
Still no news from the provider about this. There were some updates but not a full version upgrade
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?

March is coming and no Oreo for p9 plus
Does someone get any Oreo beta ?
Call me a cynic ... if they get it to me before the official Android P announce I will be totally and utterly gobsmacked.
mb.
I agree ...imho this device will never see android 8
'cuz it comes to this device.. patience folks, it is Huawei we talking about!

Thanks brother what time update for p9plus

Will Honor 9 get Oreo 8.1 in near future? Does anybody know?
Also second question, is it possible that we will get next Android P?
Thanks for answers!
Considering how many Honor/Huawei phones still got the Oreo update, I guess there is actually a fair chance we will get Android P. As for Oreo 8.1 ... well, it was already released for a while when we got 8.0 and as far as I know, the next "big" update with face unlock is still based on 8.0 so I don't think we will be getting 8.1 in the "near future"
Latest EMUI8 B365 with May Security Patch is still Android 8.0.0
Updating to 8.1 requires a kernel update as well from what i could understand (Honor View 10 as source code for the 8.0 and 8.1 firmwares separately, and the difference is the Linux Kernel version), so the update will depend on their will to make that update or just wait for Android P release and update directly to that one (My bet would be that they will leave it at 8.0.0 and update directly to P by the end of the year or so)
Has anyone tried booting a plain AOSP treble 8.1 ROM on the H9 yet, was considering it the other day, but not sure if its worth the soft brick mess...
likely we will get some sort of idea after face lock gets to every device
With Huawei/Honor it's easy to figure it out. Flagship devices get 2 major updates, and midange devices one. So we will definitely get P. Maybe with Treble devices they will increase it to 3 and 2 updates. As for 8.1, it's the same story as 7, they went with devices on 7.0 straight to 8.0
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.

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.
Pie

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?

Maybe the version on Firmware finder isn't the final version? The international L29 Mate 10 Pro says EMUI 9 not 8.

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. ?

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.

Elephone p9000, android sec. patch lvl 1.June 2016, android 6.0. Wireless update tells me : your device is up to date. How can I get an OTA update? I am not technical enough to do a manual update to android 7. Please help. Thanks
This device was dead on arrival imo.
Just forget about this.
Shame on you Elephone for marketing this device as an huge thing, then go dark.
