Honor 8X not receiving updates - Honor 8X Questions & Answers

I am at build version 8.2.0.103(C636patch01). Isn't this build a little bit far behind? I see people with build version .133 and .140 any idea how am I supposed to receive the updates? From Malaysia btw

There is a Huawei schedule for releasing the updates all over the world: wait and be patient.
P..S: Never expose your IMEI to anybody, ever!

Seems no firmware is available for this model yet. nothing on FF. you may need to contact Huawei service center and they will be able to provide more information/update in this regard. try getting hold of their chat support in your region or of service center is easily accessible, you may try visit them and they can update if available any.

Download and install HiSuite from Huawei, connect your phone to the PC and allow HiSuite to use the HDB in phone settings, once the program detects your phone, verify in the program if there are updates. If there is not, it's because your model does not have updates.

I tried this first hand, doesn't work huhu.

There's not any firmware for your model, for now

I had this issue, I was stuck on November patch, Never received 1 update since receiving the phone, I found this odd so just today connected to HiSuite and there are updates, for some reason I am not receiving OTA updates.

1.2.A.1.174 update available OTA

Did an OTA software update before and received 1.2.A.1.174 which came in around 16MB.
Haven't noticed any changes yet but will post again if I find anything. Apparently the WiFi issues have been resolved but I never had an issue with WiFi so can't comment on that.
no update here yet, custom NL.
Which build are you on?
Nothing here too

I can see and download, but i can't install... :-(
My phone is rooted.
no update available for me either.
rootet 1.1.A.0.8 / no branding / provider "blau.de"
I've got the update. The UI little bit change (color of text on buttons). Some new app appear (I think) Geotags, new TrackID, some bugfix on handsfree control and some widgets. I think also that response on some action is now smoother but cannot tell on 100%.
new update
Only the one change that I found on my phone - it is not possible to use a default setting in compass application menu - I must use a alternate sensor type. If I use "defaults" - the compass does not appear on screen...
no update available for me either (mini pro qwertz)
rootet 1.1.A.0.8, no branding, Vodafone Italy
Can't be stuffed unrooting, updating, re-rooting and then uninstalling all the crapware again. I'll just wait for 2.1 to come out.

I can confirm no update in Italy for now...i onestly hoper ti solve my problem with the phone rebooting during some incoming calls with the new update
update 1.2.A.1.174
I found a new information on this update on our Czech language forum - there a new widgets on phone - "last call - or intelligent searching" application - find last call through 3 days with small numeric keyboard; next is a great widget to change the status of phone - to Wifi enable/disable - Airplane mode enable/disable - bluetooth enable/disable - all in one clicks.
just got the new update, has the new widgets, as well as some minor changes, such as trackID, other than that, feels a bit faster?
running on the generic UK firmware.
I got a notice of a new update, but I accidently accepted it before turning on data, so I got an error-message about my network connection and the update notification was lost. Is there anyway to get it "back"?
I have a rooted debranded voda pro and this update has just come through - will I lose root installing this or should everything contiue to run as it was?

Go to Settings > About phone > Software update > Update now
Is there a way to download the firmware first and then update the phone offline ?

Call Vodafone Ireland, and ask for the unlock code, it's the best permanent solution. Or, use "voodoo SIM unlock" from the play store.
Use Odin and flash the Rom you want to use. After updating/flashing your phone, you will be SIM locked again, it will always happen.
STOP PAYING some random guy to play you for a sucker. He's probably using xda methods to flash and unlock your phone.

[Q] Can you get an unlocked phones OTA without ever having a SIM and only via wifi?

My parents just got a new Unlocked US Edition Moto G 2014, and it is on Kit Kat out of the box. I was assuming it would just update to Lollipop during the first boot. But nothing, and checking for System Updates is not working.
We do not yet have a SIM in this new phone for several more days.
Since I am not there in town, I do not want to try and drag my parents thru the awesomeness that is sideloading an OTA.
So basically - Can Android OS Updates like Lollipop be downloaded strictly via a wifi connection (using the System Updates feature) on a SIM enabled device like a phone. Obviously it is possible on wifi only devices like tablets.
Does anyone have any official proof/documentation of how this is handled? Or even users posts showing it not working until a SIM is installed? I don't want to waste any more time trying to get the update if a SIM is required on a phone. Which is odd because my phone is Unlocked - so there is no "Official Carrier", so who provides my OTA? The carrier I choose to use? Motorola? Or Google?
Thanks in advance!

Change your location to China and clear cache memory of your system update app then try again.

Go to hicare and change your region to China, reboot your phone clear cache memory and open hicare and click on update it should show u an update and ask u to register for it so you can see it in systems update

Unfortunately, no change. Maybe I am doing something wrong. At least that had the effect that I now have access to all the Chinese Apps on the Huawei App store

I did, tried the chinese hicare as well, no change, used a vpn as well (in that case it just got stuck)
I have the same phone and the same problem. It was just a bad buy and we have to admit defeat: stuck on old Android, no way to unlock bootloader, can't get rid of Chinese bloatware, forcefully upgrading will break Google services. I ended up accepting defeat and bought another phone.

How you update to 9.1?
Also stuck, but learnt something new
I got the same model from my mom after I asked her to grab me one on her trip to China. It immediately upgraded to to EMUI 9 when I got it but (I'm in Canada btw) but I realized no google services so i opted to downgrade. When I heard 9.1 allows for android I tried upgrading again but no luck, I've tried everything mentioned in this thread so far.
I'm a bit new to this but could the firmware that HiSuite flashed unto the device when downgrading be that of another model because my device is now showing as JKM-Al00b instead of JSN-Al00a. The former is the model for Huawei Enjoy 9 plus, which is a very similar device. Can anyone confirm this on their own device?And would this affect the update check?

Please don't hijack this thread with a different problem, make a new thread instead
Sorry about that. It's actually a similar issue I felt was worth mentioning.
i think the only solution is to send the phone to china where i bought it to install me a Global rom, ask the seller and he says it can cost only $ 10.
Any news on this?
I'm stuck on this too
I contacted Chinese Huawei support about not being able to upgrade, they consulted a technician who pointed the finger at me having installed Google on my honor 8x al00. Can anyone confirm deleting all google apps including gms solves being stuck on emui 8?
