Google has been addressing security on Android through monthly updates.
Why is android securtiy patch level on P9000 not updated more regularly?
Even though we had OTA 20170112 , the android security patch level is 1 June 2016. This is now more than 8 months old!
To check this: Settings, About phone
Why don't we receive regular updates, even if it is just with the latest security patches?
i didn't see any relevant answer in https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/help/p9000-security-updates-t3407544 or here http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=13198&fromuid=90419
depend on company patent with software
you can upgrade security level by custom rom latest build

The integration costs the company money, that's why updates mostly came very late or never.
And that's because we use custom ROMs like CM oder LOS. LOS13 [Build2] has a security patch level from march 2017.

are you on the Beta test list or is that the official OTA ?
you need stock system and stock recovery to take the update
check the file depot in my signature for the files

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
Hi,
Are we ever going to get new Android security patches? My phone (L21) is still on 1st September patch level... I had understood Huawei had committed to supporting the phone for two years but it seems that they have abandoned it....
I see other people saying that their patch level is 1st December but my phone doesn't find any new update when I check... I have also used the Firmware Finder app and indeed the latest patch levels seem to be available only for other Customisations (D001, D002) but there is nothing for mine (D003).... Does anybody know why?
By the way, I have another Sumsung phone which is older than the 5x and it is currently on 1st Feb 2017 patch level.
Hi all,
Just to inform on the latest update that seems to contain more stuff compared to the normal Android bug fix patches.
Check out the attached change log.
You got january build in mid march?
? that's January patch?!
And yes, I just got it before I posted.
I've been getting patches recently but most of them are Android patches. So thought this should be the latest. Man, I'm outdated (by two months) ?
Seems that those features are coming with march update on EU no brand (L09C432).
getting security updates finally for pie
Receiving the April 1st security update the end of May is kind of late though...
I thought that you all would like to know that the Bold-N1 has received yesterday (26, May 2020) a new firmware update, which includes some bugs fixes and Android Security Patch*dated May 5 2020.
Anyone that has already received this new updated, has noticed something new or any enhancements on their Bold-N1 cellphone after installation of this update?
Although I really thought that this was finally the long awaited*Android-10*update, unfortunately NOT, as its only includes a new security update of the same Android-9 system, that already has the Bold-N1.
I still hope that Bold-Products will update the Bold-N1 to the promised Android-10..!!
android 10 beta is out for bold n1
