b170/b183/b194/b199/b200/b550/b551/b560 to Marshmallow via HICARE - P8lite General

hello, few days ago there was update from germany via hicare app, now I have changed region to german and it working very well. Update steps:
1 upgrade hicare application to newest version.
Run APP - >>Accept terms. ->> choose europe (if there is no update still choose germany) -->> OS upgrade early adopters
u'r welcome

That was how they provided MM for everyone and it is not new information. However b550/b551/b560 are MM builds.

I disagree totally with Azaradel this WAS new information to me and I thank kiamikadze for sharing it.
Really don't know why everyone is ignoring this thread!
It is the easiest way to upgrade to Marshmallow.
No worries about doing something wrong as it comes straight from the Huawei servers.
No worries about which version you are currently running.

I'm happy that for everyone that has heard about that method, the update appeared within seconds. However, I changed already to many languages in the HiCare app and even downloaded the HiCare update from the market to do this "OS Upgrade". The EMUI updater instead still says: "No updates". I'm on B194 with a Swiss SIM. Maybe having the right right IMEI is important? Someone has a clue? I want to update the official way, not via a forced method.

Thanks, my phone is in the Asia pacific region, with location set to Australia. I am also able to get MM update with the help of post. The trick is to opt in for OS upgrade early adopters

Wow, thanks. Upgraded to 6.0. No regional change was needed though

Apparently huawei said they can upgrade your phone if you call them as you have the correct build for upgrade. Huawei said this when I rang them. Ring them and ask them to push upgrade from their side through hicare.

I tried with ale-l21c432b188 and didnt work :/

never knew that lol, thanks for the share.

It was like an example, u can choose any region where MM is live. Because new updates are instantly uploaded to hicare..
Yesterday at my friend office we updated from poland region. P.S sorry for bad english
updates are available only for: b170/b183/b194/b199/b200/b550/b551/b560​

Updates roll out in pieces. Only certain parts of the world will get them first, then the next, and so on.
We only just got the official update here in the UK, other parts of Europe have had it for a couple of weeks.
It will eventually be available to you sometime!

In the same boat, havent taken part in Beta program and I am stuck on 182 still.
Btw , 182 was a forced updated by downloading it from the Warehouse firmware thread here , i was stuck on B166 otherwise.
My phone is not even tied to any carier. Arrgh!!!

Seems to be only minor visible changes. No new options I can see.
One thing that did change was that I can use EE's WiFi calling, which wasn't available before on the beta. This was activated automatically by EE via a text.
Camera, WiFi, network all seem same.
Will have to wait maybe a couple of days to see how the battery life is.

Do you think it would work if we flashed the android nouget version B360 over the B182 version of mashmallow we currently have ??
Yes what happens if a non Beta on 182 tries to install the latest Android N ROM?

It just doesn't work, I downloaded the B182 ROM last night and installed it, no problems.
On Firmware Finder there are a couple of ROMS viz. B360, B361 and another B361, I've tried to download all 3 and flash them (using dload method) and have had NO success whatsoever with any of them.
I am now reverting to checking the update page in settings every hour or so!
BTW I've tried the dialler method too and that doesn't work neither
What's the huawei updater way?
Why is this phone such a piece of crap, differing version per region for what is the same software.
Why do OEMs insist on making such an industry out of something this straight forward

Is Nought Update worth ?

Yes it is worthy. You get a lot of features. But Do the update only by using firmware updater. Always choose the option "Send to updater".

Hows the Battery Backup of Nought ?
will follow this tutorial
http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017...gat-b385-update-emui5-middle-east-africa.html
I don't think it is worthy to upgrade. I already downgraded to MM again. UI is not much more ugly now, notification bar symbols are too small and have lots of bugs compared to MM. Bluetooth, phone, battery life...nothing works as good as MM.
For example when i turn on bluetooth, it connects to my car immediately in MM, but in nougat sometimes they pair, sometimes i have to pair manually.
Battery life is really bad not even uncomparable.
No need to follow tutorial. Just check system update. Official one is rolling out.
for my part I like the new UI much much better. It feels like I own a completely new phone. Everything looks better. And the battery life is probably the same.. 4-5h sot for me. 1 1/2 days for me..

yes.. i already installed in Cell. But i think its not official App from Huawei.
also in this app they show number of packages like OTA, MF, Full OTA etc. which one should install, if this method i follow than will it void warranty ?

That's not going to work, hicare doesn't "force" an update, the guy is going to get the update for his region based on his IMEI just like everyone else.

Changing your "region" in hicare has absolutely nothing to do with getting updates faster, HiCare uses the same servers and databases as settings does when checking for updates, a C576 variant (USA) is going to get updates based on the IMEI regardless of what region HiCare is set to, it's the same with other variants of devices. What happened in your specific case was just dumb luck, no more than that

Relax bro, I never said doing this would make the update come faster. I just told him to try what I did. If it worked, it worked. If not, then not. Maybe the " dumb luck" I had might have work for him. I've read in other threads where others did the exact same thing and it worked for them!! (That's how I knew to try that method)
It didn't work first when I was offered to install the french specific version of hicare.
Second attempt, I refused the french specific version, I also refused the app to access GPS and then... it worked!
Now downloading EMUI 10 on my P30.
Thx!

Still on May security patch and firmware ending on 190

After reading and looking I seen about the updates being every 4 months then they will or they won't do it, so I'm not sure
I think i will thanks, nothing wrong with phone, just I liked the idea of new phone having latest updates etc
i used to update soon as one appeared , way back in the galaxy S3 days Samsung released a terrible update and it took months before they fixed it . So always wait a week or so and see what people have to day about it first

Question How to force updates ?

Hi there.
Admittedly, I get a bit confused with the Xiaomi ROM versions and updates.
But... As far as I can tell my phone hasn't received a system update for a very long time, my android security patch is Dated December last year and I'm still on miui 12.5.
Is this correct ? If not, how do I force the latest ROM.
My phone is on the stock ROM. Locked bootloader.
