Will there be anymore security updates now? - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

The last update I have received for my Uk m5 10.8 is with security update dated April 20
Will there be no more now with all the fuss with Google?

Don't think so.... Updates have been sporadic at best all the time and I think they stopped updating the m5

I've got a M5 8" and last update was May 2020.

According to https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/bulletin/ it is no more on the list. Has only just been removed, as it was there last month. So there might be one last patch left (optimistic me...)

Since I have a US model, it never received a major update and only sporadically received security updates. Very disappointing.

Unless this mess with Google get's sorted out I won't be coming back to Huawei.

I agree - and it's nigh on impossible to get a branded tablet of the similar modern spec at a sensible price. Or one that gets updates.

I'm getting my Samsung Tab S 8.4" fixed and updated as an 'upgrade' to my M5.

I'm no lover of Samsung tablets - but the current S range are significantly more expensive than the M5 was.
Though I believe Samsung have promised more updates for certain parts of their range than they did in the past.

I mean the original Tab S from 2014.

Mine just updated to 9.1.0.345, security patches dated September 1, 2020.

Mines being offer 345. I need to get the URL to extract recovery img to root it. It's not listed in firmware finder. Anyone know how to find it?

Both of my SHT-W09's just updated to 345 version (September 2020 security patch level) here in UK. Haven't found any bugs. Pleased that these live to see another day, there's no tablets come close without paying 3 times as much for the Samsung.

that means , A2017U (USA) and A2017 (Chinese) will get Nougat either this month or the next (December).
I can't say that I'm not a little bit disappointed by hearing January 2017. Being advertised as the first Daydream 'ready' phone, I had my hopes up for an upgrade closer to the Daydream-platform launch today..

If you didn't know Daydream requires Nougat and the phone initially ships with Marshmallow, I can see how that could be interpreted. I just knew it meant it will get Nougat eventually. The chipset is what is important. Older Qualcomm devices cannot support Daydream because they cannot meet recommended performance requirements.
Daydream actually required 7.1 version IMO.
And since 7.1 released couple of weeks ego that's mean
It needs at least 2 months preparation until OEM implement a newer version of Android.
So If US or Chinese version receive it within November/December it will be version 7 and that's not good sign/news at all.
So everyone hope ZTE bring 7.1 version(and NOT 7 i repeat) and doesn't matter who will get it first IMO.
It will be HUGE MISTAKE if ZTE not bring 7.1.

Indeed, let's hope they are skipping 7 and are putting all effort in a good working 7.1.
On official german Facebook page they say Daydream will be supported with Nougat update in January.

As long as ZTE involved to improve it via software.
But until now all Chinese haven't shown any skills for better software processing as for the camera performance.
Even Huawei lacking against top of the top Korean manufacturers despite being involved Leica.

There is a possibility we will see another camera improvement if zte implement camera2api in the nougat update, however i doubt this because the camera2api has been available since lollipop which has been around for years. On the bright side however they said they might add raw support which you need the camera2api for (unless they want to do a lot of coding themselves). So there is a possibility the camera might get better .

Any idea when it's coming out for Verizon?

Galaxy Note 8<-5<-3<-S3<-Nexus; Droid X; HTC HD2<-Touch Pro 2<-Tilt<-8525; O2 XDA II<-XDA
I believe that Oreo will start droping Jan - Feb... T-Mobile and Xfinity first Sprint and Verizon Last...just guessing though...
Beta should be coming soon. For most countries in Europe. But it still is pretty disappointing that S8 got Oreo and Note8 which uses similar hardware didn't. Plus Samsung could support Note users after Note7 failure.
And porting Oreo to N8 from S8 is really difficult. First beta didn't boot for some reason and getting a logcat with Samsungs new security is bit more difficult. Second beta has even more security which makes it even worse.
Did You guys hear that all Oreo devices have to use Project Treble? So once we get official Oreo we can boot Generic AOSP on our phones!
Coolness

Currently it's just disabled in build.prop(S8 beta) but Google requires all manufacturers to use and enable Project Treble. Doesn't seem like any Oreo betas have it. But official releases will be forced to have that. It's not recommended anymore. Now Google forces all manufacturers to use it. Samsung is already using HIDL in Oreo beta which is a good sign. But still. They have to give us Treble. Otherwise Google will be mad lol idk.

I think that only apllies to device that are released with Oreo, not wen released with Nougat. Even Nokia 8 doesn`t have Treble enabled.

Nokia 8 just got Official Oreo and doesn't have Treble . We'll see what Samsung gives us in the final release. But for now I feel like August Nougat is the last update Note8 will ever get.. I'm starting to feel bad for selling my S7 Edge. My friend has S7 and he already runs Oreo on it. I think even Galaxy S2 has Oreo.

I don't think that's how Treble works. The news that XDA had yesterday was that it seemed easier to port an AOSP ROM. You still need to be able to flash it, and as long as the Snapdragon bootloader remains locked, there won't be any custom ROMs for our phones.
The good news for most of us is that security and core Android updates won't be held up by the manufacturers and the carriers.

I'm glad yours is more up to date than my UK Exynos version. I bought it on launch day and had a update that day and that was it. In my opinion that's not good enough for such an expensive phone. But I'm a sucka for Samsung phones so guess I'll just get on with it.
Ps it's not tied to any carrier, so I'm waiting for a update directly from Samsung.

Yeh but im not into unlocking bootloader anymore. Reason I'm complaining mainly is that I'm way behind on security updates and my Aod is killing my battery hard, so I'm hoping an update will fix that. Otherwise the phone is working great.

Question Is firmware of Pixel 6 leaked?

Hi. Is firmware files of Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro leaked? I'm guessing review kits already at press. And they should able to get firmware files from CDN or etc.
If there is firmware files it will be awesome for digging it or porting ROM to other devices.
Not yet! No one has units yet....probably not until late August or September.

What can we expect from the new update?
Yeah i think the rumors can be true about that but right now we cannot say anything.
The Pixel 6 is running Android 12, which is live in AOSP. Driver binaries are not yet available but I suspect that will change with the next monthly update.

Question No OTA since RMX2202_11_A.13

I'm kinda dissapointed.. I thought this was a flagship device.. No OTA for over two months, no Android 12 in sight in Europe.. Damn I should've get that Pixel6 instead
Shouldn't UI 3.0 be just around the corner now? Give it a couple of weeks or a month?
Now i read on rmupdates site , android 12 stable rolling out for GT 5G users in China . No news for global
Europe will receive in January, hopefully
It looks like we'll receive a security patch for December after all.
