How can I update my Huawei honor 5X to the latest software (marshmallow). Usually I went to setting and open updater but when I tap "Check for updates" it says "No updates" though I have old an version.
Here are a few details which I found in "About phone" in settings menu.
KIW UL00
Android version 5.1.1
Android security patch level 1 February 2016
EMUI version EMUI 3.1
The method to do a forced manual update has been posted many times on this site. Please do a search of this site first. Download the APP from Honor website, create a folder named dload on your sdcard. Rename the downloaded APP file to update. app and place it in the dload folder. Now go to Updater and do an update from local source or force the update by using the dialer and dialing *#*#2846579#*#*. However, using the latter version will wipe out your data.

But is there even an official Marshmallow update for this model KIW-UL00?
OP, what regional variant is that?
I believe that this is the Chinese variant. It supports TD-LTE and different bands than US model. I would suggest contacting the Chinese Honor site regarding update.

Yeah, I believe you are correct. I found that variant on the Chinese website. It doesn't appear the Marshmallow update is available though.

Yeah, I bought the phone in China
Hi "KIW-UL00" owners !

Hello SplinteX54;67824693, I'd love to assist you. Although your device states there is no update, we please ask for your patience. The Honor 5X update to Marshmallow is a staged roll out, meaning not everybody gets it at once. We send out the updates in daily batches. The selection of customers who get the update is random. We want you to enjoy Marshmallow and not have any issues. Thanks for your interest. We appreciate you. (ED)
Open the HiCare app (Download form playstore if you don't have it yet, open it and select 'OS Upgrade Early Adopters'. Might work.
It has actually been posted quite a few times. Please do a search, I am quite you will find a tutorial.
Anybody actually got this Honor 5x KIW-L22 Malaysia marshmallow update.app? Please share!! Even if its beta version i'm willing to try! PLEASE HELP! :crying::crying:

So you know, the lollipop versions of the 5x were B1xx and the MM versions are B3xx
So b301 - b310 - b320 - b340 - b350 all = MM
Oh.. Thanks for the Info @clsA
You can update through HiCare app or by manual update.
Update via HiCare app:
1. Install the latest version of HiCare application from Google Play from the following link - http://bit.ly/1sEiY1V
2. Open HiCare application -> select region as Asia Pacific and location as Malaysia -> Click on OS upgrade option.
3. Go through the Version Update details and agree to the terms and conditions -> click on Apply.
4. Click on system update in the Pop-up appeared and then click on check for updates.
5. You will find the New version update (If it is available) -> click on it and update to the latest version.
Manual update via OTA file:
1. First, download Android 6.0 OTA file for Honor 5X from http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=83346&version=327474&siteCode=in
2. Now create a folder dload in the root of your internal storage or SD card and place the update.app file in that folder.
3. Now go to the phone settings–>update and press the menu button.
4. Now select choose Local update.
5. It will detect the update.app and installation process will start.
6. Wait until the installation process is complete and then reboot your device.
The manual update file belongs to indian version (KIW-L22). Since you said the same version, hoping so there wont be any difference.
Try manual ota update, far better than hicare
hicare app may do the job, just update to latest hicare app version from the play store, open it and select ur region and click on 'OS UPDATE EARLY ADOPTERS'

ARE all India variant. It doesnt work on KIW L22 Malaysia variant. I have tried ALL of it and all met with disappointment.
I have also tried with Hi-care application(old and new). I tried check updates and change location to Malaysia and checked as well. And as usual met with disappointment.. Nothing pops out.
I'm just hoping if there's anyone that have KIW L22 Malaysia variant ones(not the India variant ones).. Update.app ; Please share it here. Thank you very much.

India is one of the biggest markets, especially in mid-range, that's why they give priority, but again it's not good to see regions treated unfairly

Why should they use their resources on the region which doesn't asks update? That's the reason. May be.
As of my knowledge from the forums, people using India, UK and US variant are only asking for update. So they provide only for them.
Providing update for the need of only 10 persons will be cost inefficient for the region that doesn't requires update.
Malaysian users do want the latest update, malaysia is the biggest consumer of smartphone.
maybe because of some weird reasons, they are just being avoided.
I think their main focus is on US, EU and India
For those who don't know, F900U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Galaxy Fold. The F900U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware
- want to convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware)
For those who aren't already aware, anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want, via SamFirm or Frija. There are threads and info about them here on XDA so I won't waste time explaining - do a search if you're not already familiar with these tools. But AT&T doesn't allow their firmware to be publicly available (for any of their devices). I pay for a subscription to a site that gets the official releases (usually) before they hit SamFirm/Frija, and also gets me access to AT&T firmware, so that's where my files come from. However, I don't have unlimited bandwidth on the site, and it's also quite time consuming to download the files, zip them up, and upload them to AFH. And, I do threads like this for every single Sx and Note x model - so I won't be uploading every single version. I'll definitely do at least one build per bootloader level though.
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing"-type post/thread, so I won't list basic, step-by-step instructions. My threads are geared towards those who already know what they're doing. If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware, I recommend you consult one of the "beginner's" posts/threads - there are tons of them here on XDA.
U firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=293117
U1 firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=293118
Happy flashing!
Notes:
- DON'T QUOTE THE OP WHEN YOU REPLY, kthx
- I compress extra small for space and bandwidth savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- My naming method for Android File Host folders is: build - bootloader - Android version.
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data.
- I pay for a subscription to a site that gets beta builds and also sometimes gets the official releases before they hit SamFirm, so that's where any of my files come from. I will only be posting versions that I get early access to, and USERDATAs that aren't available on SamFirm or Frija (AT&T). The newest/latest firmware files for all carriers other than AT&T can always be obtained via SamFirm and Frija.
- For USERDATAs (all the others are self explanatory):
AIO = Cricket
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA - Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
TMK = Metro PCS
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another is:
1. Flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC
2. Upon boot, insert a SIM of the carrier whose firmware you want
3. Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it
4. After that restart completes, reboot back to Download mode and flash the full U firmware package, with the USERDATA file of the carrier whose firmware you want
Interesting development, as we approach the release date for the now-redesigned Fold: U1 firmware has appeared!
I have no idea if they were planning for a U1 model all along, but that firmware never showed up earlier this year. I still haven't seen any new U firmware, but assuming that I get access to at least the launch version before the actual release, I'll post it when I get it
Build SH9 has appeared for the U model, along with an AT&T USERDATA. Files have been uploaded to the OP link
Will SHA get OTA to SH9?

I don't understand your question.
First of all, numbers come before letters. 9 is older than A. If SH9 and SHA were both released for the same model, then SH9 would come first, and then there would be an OTA to SHA.
But SH9 is U firmware and SHA is U1. You can't OTA to a different model's firmware.

XAA is always used for U1 firmware. Manual input is required in order to get it, as of right now. They'll probably change that once the device actually releases

Really want to do this but have never flashed any type of Samsung software before. Was checking guides but none of them seemed exact. Don't want to Brick my fold and even though I have AT&T I don't want to be behind on updates and have bloatware.

It's impossible to brick it. And yes, there are tons of very precise and exact Odin flashing guides here on XDA. Odin flashing is always pretty much the same process, no matter the model. Put the phone in Download, make sure you have the right Odin version, extract the zip, load all the files, plug the phone in, and click Start
What is the site you pay a subscription for?
I have a small question... will I brick the Fold, if I flash this to the Korean Version of the Fold (SM-F907N)?
The only version I could buy in where I live is the Korean version, which is a 5G model, but I really want to use my credit cards from USA. I guess I have to have a Fold with USA firmware to use Samsung Pay with credit card from USA, but I don't know what would happen if I flash this firmware... I am okay with losing the 5G, I just want the Samsung Pay works with my credit cards...

You can't flash it. Odin won't allow you to, because those models are not cross compatible. If you want a Fold that does US Samsung Pay, buy one from the US and have it shipped to you

You can use websites like updato, sammobil or samfrew to download firmware for your phone.
Or you can used a PC app called frija to download latest firmware.

G'day thanks for your reply--
ok-Ihave been researching your suggestions-- and the answer is not easy--it is actually complicated because of all the different firmware codes just in the US.,
I can hopefully track it down using my new phone CSC code(I'm learning fast for a newbie)
The reason why I need at least Android 10 is because I will be loading the 'Gcam7.4 and maybe higher.
If I can find out which US version of firmware to flash(and how to do it properly), I still need answers to the following--
---Because this is a US version S10 SM-G973U1 -fully unlocked and no Carrier--
(1) Do I insert my Australian SIM card into my brand new phone BEFORE it is turned on for the first time and BEFORE I flash the new US firmware?
(2) Or do I turn on my new phone for the first time, and flash the update US firmware BEFORE inserting my Australian SIM?

OK--thanks again.
Thanks for the model number.
The US phone will work in AU -A lot are sold over here through ebay and other outlets- there should be no problems here.
The seller sent me a message to my questions-''it does not matter when the update is done--before or after the SIM card has been put in'', so,should be no problems here - and you also say it's ok to leave the SIM card in while flashing.
I can't give you a screenshot as I am still waiting for the phone to arrive.
I've been reading the Frija page-looks easy enough for me to do.
Frija will give me the correct and latest firmware(on PC) and then I use Odin to install the firmware into the phone,correct?

Updating phone can be done with or without sim card.
Just make sure with frija to enter correct model number.
Download firmware, extract firmware ( I use 7zip ) put In Odin.
May still need that screen shot when you get the phone as may have to use patched Odin.

I found the following youtube that explains easily how to use Frija and Odin to update the firmware.-
I used the model number you gave me and downloaded the firmware update.
I will double check when I get the phone,incase the number is different.
I have read about the ''patched Odin'', the youtube uses the patched version.
You have bee n very helpful,and this youtube shows how it is done.

I didn't have to open the retail package as I knew what to look for(thanks to youtubes about fake Samsungs).
The front and back of the retail box were identical to the fake one in the video.
But the seller also made a big mistake--they sent the wrong model(thanks to someone putting the wrong label on the shipping box at their warehouse) - they sent S10e instead of S10.
Anyway,it was easy getting my money back due to their ebay store return policy.
They know I know it's a fake and they are worried about the feedback I have yet to leave for them.
At this point, I am considering a refurbished S10 ''as new'' from a REPUTABLE online AU seller.
Or a new S20 FE Snapdragon, Australian version (plenty of retail stores have it over here).
What ever I get--I'll make sure it isn't a fake and at least,you've helped me to learn a few things,like going to Samobile to check the right numbers,and,if necessary, use Frija and Odin to update the firmware..
Have a look at these photos, tell me what you think.
I don't use an 10 series maybe never will
All I can suggest, since i'm using my device different to yours.
Check IMEI status ( check online ).
For on lines stores or furbished devices IMEI devices this can be changed. Not generally on US devices
Only a word of caution.
Hi Folks,
According to the documentation I have, the FCC ID should able to be located by navigating to the Regulatory & safety item within Settings. There appears to be 2 options for locating this item. It is supposed to be displayed either under the General tab or in the About phone category of Settings.
However, it is not to be seen. Even doing a search doesn't reveal it.
The phone was new in a sealed box and has Android 7.0 installed with an Android security patch level of 1 November 2016.
Has anyone else had this problem and was able to solve it it?
Thanks!!
I can see the setting exactly where you said on my G5, with Android 8. Have you tried updating the phone to Oreo to see if you can get the info you need? Don't expect much, it only shows very basic info, at least on the OPEN_EU version.

Thanks!! for the feedback.
Very interesting. Are you the original owner of your phone? If so, did it already have Oreo installed when you bought it? The documentation I previously referred to was from 2016 but Oreo was released in August 2017.
The LG SN & Carrier & Country Check, provided by IMEI.info, indicates it is an Israel variant and is associated with a Carrier in Israel (Carrier Code: ISR, Carrier: ISRAEL) which does not seem to make sense given that the phone was in a Sealed Box and supposed to be Unlocked. The same report also indicates it as having a Firmware File of H85030e_00_OPEN_IL_OP_0206.kdz and Firmware Version of H85030E_00 which indicates Android 8.
The list of Firmware, on the LG-ROMs website, also correlates with the Firmware File mentioned above.

However, I'm not sure if the phone, I have, is a UK or Israel variant. The preselected Language was English. Preinstalled apps, such as Evernote, Facebook & Instagram, correlate with UK and Israel variants according to the respective User Guides. If it was an Israel variant, why wasn't the preselected language Hebrew one would be inclined to ask. The Israel User Guide contains both Hebrew and English versions.
After running an HDMI Connectivity check, the next step is to try an OTA (Over-The-Air) Update. The phone is in Oz. Would there be any problems attempting an OTA update for a phone that is not in its original region?
Does your phone correlate to the details on the following page which indicates a Region of EEE?

I'm making an educated guess that the "EEO", in the File name H85030e_00_EEO_GB_OP_1121.kdz, refers to the OPEN_EU version that you mentioned.
Thanks again.

I was not the original owner: I bought it second hand with Marshmallow installed, then I've upgraded to Nougat and then Oreo. I really don't remember how the FCC menu used to look on previous OS versions.

My neighbour bought a Huawei Phone online, and it was an Israelian variant as well. It was a new untouched phone, and I'm quite sure it didn't have Hebrew as default language on the first boot. It works with no problems in Italy. I think that the phone tries to guess the language to be used according to the SIM card: I have a couple of tablets made for the Italian Market, with no SIM card inside, that on first boot are set on English.

As long as you are sure about the model (H850), attempting an OTA or flashing a different variant for the same model is totally fine. Even in the case there are some incompatibilities between the Israelian carriers settings in the firmware and the carriers in the UK, they would be minor issues, such as the NTCODE error. Moreover, you would still be able to flash again a different variant using LGUP if you're not satisfied with the one you have.
EEO_GB by the way is not the OPEN_EU variant, that is called exactly OPEN_EU. I suppose that EEO_GB might be related to EE carrier in Britain.

It's definitely an H850.
Not looking to Flash any ROMs.
The phone is in Oz (Australia).
Would it be best to do the OTA update without a Local SIM card and just use a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet?
Can an "NTCODE error" happen after an OTA update?
Thanks!! again.

If you update the phone through an OTA update, the location shouldn't matter for the update process to complete. The phone will download the latest update available for its region. As the phone is in Australia and it's an Israelian variant, it will receive an Israelian update. So, as long as you use OTA updates, NTCODE error shouldn't happen. But don't worry, even if it happened, it would be just an annoyance, as it shows just once when you start the phone, but wouldn't affect the usage.
