I recently received a Lumia 800 and am trying to get it on the latest firmware. Zune already install 8107, but the firmware update beyond 11451 isn't showing up. I tried the airplane mode, disable internet trick but it just says I have no updates available.
Does anyone know if all 800s should be getting this update?
Seems like a lot of them don't have it. Mine got 8107 but I still can't get the firmware update either.
What carrier are you on? Some few carriers decide themselves not to accept the update and not push it out I believe. It's up to the carriers themselves to distribute the updates and not MS. My guess is you are on some US carrier. The update should be out by now for everyone.
The update hasn't been rolled out for every product code yet. I just checked with navifirm and quite a few product codes are still stuck with version 11451. Same old nokia crap with product codes.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. My post is still true for some though!
This morning I realized that my phone had not received any OTAs yet, so I sideloaded the MDA89D to MDB08K zip (find it here) and then got the MDB08L OTA notification as soon as the phone booted up.
In talking with friends with a 6P and looking at other threads, there seem to be a lot of users that are still on the factory MDA89D build, so I'm wondering if the delay is carrier specific.
FWIW, I activated my 6P without a SIM card and then have been using it with T-Mobile. Checking available updates always showed nothing was available.
It seems like Verizon users are not getting OTAs yet, as expected from an existing thread. T-Mobile users *should* be getting one since they are turning Band 12 off with it.

OTA got nothing to do with carrier you are on.
Sent from my Nexus 6P
I did not receive the OTA, but I did flash the new factory image as soon as I unlocked the bootloader.
yes just received phone in the mail today after setting everything up I got the OTA update installed with no problem
I simply just change the date few weeks forward. I didn't receive both updates soon so I just fast forwarded date a little. Then updates pop up on both times. Should give it a try before going on a manual flash route.
Didn't have to do anything, it just arrived while I was updating my S5 to 5.1.1.
Was reading an article recently where a Google engineer explained how updates go.
1% get the update first, if no problems
25% get the update, if no problems
50% get the update, if no problems
Etc etc
No mention of a time frame between percentages though.
I got the device Friday, on k version, got the l update earlier today.
Expect to see them monthly as Google is releasing security updates on a monthly basis now.
Need one for carrier less. Updated before putting sim in.
Got an OTA this AM on Fi Sittin on MDB08L. I have an unlocked bootloader as well.
I got my 6P today and turned it on. As soon as I signed into my Google account it told me that I required a software update. Didn't even finish the setup wizard before it downloaded and installed.
I ordered through Project Fi as soon as I got my invite. They sent the sim with it and I put it in and turned it on. Boom, update.
Yep got one today.

Interesting method, if the updates are IMEI based as it is believed, this shouldn't work.

It's interesting to see that, so far, most voters who have not received an update are on another carrier (or carrier-less), or Verizon. I was interested in seeing what Sprint users are experiencing, but there has only been one Sprint user voting so far (a friend on Sprint has not received any).

Unfortunately, I can't edit it, but, no carrier would fall under "Other Carrier"

Already flashed the update through mskip's toolkit. No wiping of data required though it flashes the whole ROM, not just the update (900mb).
I'm on AT&T. I got the first OTA when I turned the phone on for the first time, but where the hell is the November security patch? I thought it was supposed to start rolling out on November 1, yet it is November 10 and I still don't have it? What the hell Google? I understand a slow rollout of a major update, but security patches should be available to everyone on day 1, if not automatically, then sure as hell if they press the damn update button in settings. This is why companies don't take Google seriously when they talk about security.
I click "Check for Update" and nothing happens, says last time it was checked was November 30th. Tried rebooting, rebooting with no sim card . . . any ideas??
Just got one. Taking FOREVER to optimize apps. Painfully slow.
Just got my update through Telus in Canada. Installing right now.
just got 128gb 6P and got it activated on Sprint .. OTA about 15-20min after
As above, is there anyway to download the above firmware other than funkyHuawei? I dont think its right i should have to pay $35 for 5 credits when Huawei should release the OTA update to fix several problems with there device, especially a phone that doesn't work over WiFi!
I guess you could email Huawei, or your operator. It doesn't exist outside of FH, not sure how he got his hand on it.
Or you could rebrand to C432 or C636.
No way to do this unfortunately. You could contact Huawei but they will ask for your IMEI, then tell you the update is being rolled out.
Luckily I don't have the WiFi problem, but a few other smaller problems which could do with an update.
Maybe the phone doesn't like certain routers. Not sure.
I emailed Huawei last week but doubt anything good will come out of it. So is the firmware over at FH unofficial?

A select few have said they got it as an OTA so I don't think so, unless they used FH
I talked to Huawei live chat and they confirmed that this update is rolling out to UK users, just a waiting game.
I'd use funkyhuawei if it was a one time purchase but having to buy 'credits' every time I want to flash an update just doesn't justify value to me.
Guess I'll wait for the OTA

Exactly, why should we pay for a official ota update !!!! What is really bugging me is the fact im having to use my data plan as the WiFi doesn't work. If i dont get a ota very soon im going to return my handset as i dont get long to return anyway.

I'm the same mate, I've got until tomorrow. Going to try the Huawei live chat again tomorrow to see if they can force an update. If not I'll see what three can do

Let me know how you get on, im still waiting on an email reply as the chat was down. I bought mine sim free from amazon so i dont see why im waiting for a OTA unless its because i stuck a Vodafone sim card in it?
Hi, I got the BLA-L09 8.0.0.124 update about a fortnight ago (bought unlocked from CPW in Nov.) and did receive the update OTA..... did NOT buy anything from FH. So, can confirm it is a UK OTA update, so, should roll-out eventually...bit of a pain though for anybody playing the IMEI waiting game...
When checking for ota, sometimes you have to click the 3 dots in the upper right and click install full package.
Another thing sometimes i was getting ota update on Huawei's phones after a factory reset directly,i would do it from the stock recovery,but don't feel bad if this doesn't work for you, it's up to you if you can't wait and want to try.

Think I am going to send it back. Apart from having a bit better battery and brighter screen than my U11+, the software is a mess and the audio via every dongle is worse.
Don't think the sim card you used has anything to do with it really. Just IMEI lottery which is stupid tbh lol
What is in this update? In the Change Log it says, "No information". Google search doesn't return much except a reddit thread where someone said, "I purchased a sim free mate 10 pro from CPW which was running 115 (c782) flashed this fine but since I always get an EE app even after a factory reset, help?" I too bought Sim Free from Carphone Warehouse and am worried I'll get EE spam on my phone (I'm an EE subscriber), so need to know if it is worth updating.

If you pay the money and update via FunkyHuawei you will likely get some EE branding. If you wait for the official OTA update, it will stay with the carrier branding you have at the moment.
It appears that FunkyHuawei has managed to get hold of the EE version of the latest firmware.
Three?

Good luck with that!
Still no reply from Huawei, they have till the end of the week to reply back to me otherwise im sending it back for a one plus 5T. The more i use the phone the more faults i find, Today i used google maps to navigate me to an address, is so jerky and not smooth at all, really bad.
I spoke with Huawei regarding the bugs I have with this phone on firmware 115 and the update to fix them.
They took my imei . They told me there was an update that is approved for ota waiting for me.
I told them both ota and hi suite say there is no update for my phone.
They then tell me the update is automated and rolled out in batches and I must then wait for the update notification....

If the update is approved for ur iemi than factory reset Should trigger it,you can try wiping cache first in stock recovery.
I just bought a used Tmobile Note 8 from Swappa. It arrived running Nougat and when I try to update, it says the device is up to date. The seller stated "Tmobile Version that has been fully paid for and unlocked. Was unlocked with Device Unlock application that come on most tmobile devices. Application automatically deletes, once unlocked."
Would the act of unlocking mess anything up with the software updates? Would they still come from T-mobile? I tried using Kies and Smartswitch to see if there was an update, but Kies isn't supported anymore and Smartswitch isn't telling me there's an update available.
Thanks.
They dont always release teh update to everyone right away. its released in stages.
You can always manually download them (from updato) and install them through odin.
Did you verify from Tmobile that the phone is not under financial obligation and is in fact unlocked through a carrier and not the seller himself?
Always do that when considering buying a used phone and never expect the seller to be telling the truth.
Verizon Devices
Get a trade-in appraisal through Verizon - you will get a message that the device is not eligible for trade-in if it is still being financed through Verizon:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/device-recycle/
Sprint Devices
Use Ting's device check - it will fail if the device is still being financed through Sprint:
https://ting.com/byod
TMobile Devices
http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
AT&T Devices
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
Enter "No" when asked if you are an AT&T customer. Then input the IMEI and you will get the message below if the device is not paid off yet:
"This device isn’t eligible to be unlocked now because all of the installment payments have not been paid."

I just downloaded the update file and used ODIN to get the T-mobile OREO goodness. All good now.

I keep getting "hotlinking is not cool" and won't let me download.
I still haven't gotten the update either. At the store they suggested that theming or other apps could stop the updates, which seemed like bs, but I had already uninstalled all substratum layers in preparation for the update anyhow. I've tried smart switch as well but nothing is showing the update. My phone is not unlocked or rooted and running BRA9. Is it really just taking them this long to roll out?

I bought a note 8 from TMobile February 22. I am in the Pacific NW, still on 7.1.1 and software update says I am up to date, not sure why but there it is.
Me either, Im in NW Indiana & chicken out when I saw I would have to downgrade to BRA8 to go to Oreo (on BRA9)
Anybody receive the May security update? I had been getting regular updates from Samsung, quite early in the month. Impressive actually. Haven't received the May update yet, so I'm curious if others have.
I have the unlocked version, but using it on the AT&T network.
TIA
Just got the OTA update. I'm surprised it's this late, considering all other OTA updates are usually within the first week of the month.
