Hello, to put it simple, i got a new phone(my first smart/android phone) it's a Huawei y5 ii (Cun-L01), I saw that it's 5.0 OS ver. so i was wondering can i update it to Android 7.0 nougat?
i google it but all the sites didn't seem trustworthy enough.
can i even update android OS on a phone that came with an older version?
when i click update on the settings nothing happens, does that mean Lolipop android is the max my phone can use?
Thanks for any help i may get

Nothing official for Y5 higher than LP, but search xda for 'huawei y5 ii', and you see several posts about root and recovery. Someone could build LOS or something...

I am from Pakistan myself and got OTA update about a month ago. What's your model?
Mine is PLK-L01.
Update notifications don´t come at the same time for every country or even every user in the same country.
1- Don't stress out, just wait. Or even better, wait for the first feedbacks from other users about the update. Some are not good enough, i.e. solve some problems while fixing others.
2- Make sure you have HiCare updated. This can be done inside the app itself. Check the "early adopters" section inside the app.
3- Make sure you make a backup full relevant data with Huawei Backup app, into external USB drive (OTG) or sdcard.
4- After update, factory reset, restore from backup and phone is as it was before but updated.
Hello everyone.
I'm asking this because i'm interested in buying this phone and in one store it say that it come with android 5.1 but I can't find record of that update anywhere, every source I've consulted says it's stuck on Kit Kat and that there are no plans of updating. Can anyone confirm this?
Also what do you think of the phone, from what I saw it seems to perform quite well and should be a good upgrade from my LG E975, but I'm also a bit torn because I can get an ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe for around the same price, both heavily discounted.
Thank you and Happy Christmas

Dont worry. Its normal for china phones to not have play store pre-installed. And also dont worry about non showing update. You need to update via pc first (because it repartitions your storage) Do you have the normal z7 (Nx506j)? Or do you have the mini or max version?
Yes I do have the normal ZTE Nubia Z7 with Nubia UI v2.6.2, Android 4.4.2, Build Number NX506J_CNCommon_V1.26 and Hardware Version NX506JMB_B

Hi there,
Probably a silly question, I have a SGP312 and it is on Lollipop since 3 years, do you think is there a way to upgrade to the latest Android 8.1?
If not 8.1, what would be the highest version I can go and how?
The Tablet is essentially a stock one, I never did anything on it, just applied the Sony updates they made available for this old model.
Thank you,
Alex

Hello!
It's quite possible to install even the latest 8.1, though it is still not that stable now.
If you want 99% bug-free experience, i would stick to android 7.1.2, like Resurrection Remix ROM till 8.1 gets to a polished state.
Check this guide for installing custom ROMs on device.
Thank you for the link!
I will give it a try very soon.

Hi buddies,
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Model: SGP321) with Lollipop v5.0.2.
I had rooted it since a couple of years, so no need to say, it couldn't be upgraded to any higher version of android.
Now I unrooted it and wanna upgrade its android.
My questions:
1. What's the highest Android version officially released for this model?
2. What's the best version you advise me to install on it?
Thanks for your kind & prompt reply.
Cheers,
Leon

Hello!
1. The latest official firmware is android 5.1.1 (v.10.7.A.0.222 or 10.7.A.0.228 depending on region, though internally they are identical).
You can update via xperia-companion software.
2. What's the best only you can say. If stock sony one works good for you, stick to it.
If you have knowledge how to install, and want to try something "custom", there are firmwares based on android 7.1.2 and 8.1 on this forum.
The media players on my Xperia sgp312 keep pausing, has it got something to do with the software, I am still on Android 5.1.1
Hello,
I have a LG K8 with android 6.0.1 (Verizon prepaid) and a RCA Voyager III with android 7.1.2 that I want to update to newer android versions since there are no more factory updates. If the tablet screws up I don't really care, but I need to be able to use my activated phone. Is there a way to manually update the android version without messing them up?
Thanks

Hello,
You can Follow the LG K8 Developments Page on this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k8/development
Although there are no Custom ROMs listed on the development page, you can search the Internet for the same. The page had MIUI ROM for the devices, but the link was removed due to Thread Owner posting PPC links. :crying:

NOPE, DON'T EXPECT ANDROID 8 OR HIGHER ROMS FOR THIS TABLET.
No one wants to develop software for old ****ing things that aren't iconic or popular enough nowadays, everyone's either focusing on modern phones from Google, Xiaomi, etc.... or phones that were literally hot **** back then (like the Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, etc...)
Highest you can go is Lollipop (and maybe, Marshmallow?)

If your model is a 7D-50xx/S7-30xx variant, you can get custom ROMs for them.
For 7D-50xx (Mediapad X1) models, there's only a beta version of Lollipop from Huawei (and since it's a beta from Huawei, that means there must have been an official update already - go check your updates in the settings if your model is the 7D-50xx model.)
For S7-30xx (Mediapad T1, 7 inches) models, you can get CyanogenMod 10.1 running on it, but that is on 4.2.1. But since you don't give me the specifics of your model name, I don't think I'll be able to help you much.
hey may i ask how u managed to unlock the bootloader, i went through hell i have the 701W version but i can't find any proper solution.
