Hello,
Been waiting for update to Android 7.0 since the news been spread on XperiaBlog and XDA, but still no official release for 1299-6237 (HK Version). Hence, a question arise: Are there additional certifications that apply to HK ROM version that it takes so long for an update, or is there is another reason for it? Also, any idea when to expect the update then? Thanks for help in advance!

you can take the Indonesia or India version... since HK , the last update was .305 / oct2016 ... i am not sure why the stopped pushing for HK
Thanks for reply! I know I can manually flash it, but to be honest, with device like this I cannot be bothered (and frankly not many people do, as pretty much no development going on). I am more reliant on OTA or Companion updates as I do not want to lose my data. Hence it owuld be nice to know if someone would have an explanation for such nonsence really.
I was in the same boat as you. I bought my Z5p dual off of Amazon and received an HK version. I've been waiting for a Nougat update and could wait no longer. I updated using the russian update file and can confim that everything works and no bugs to report. Also no data was lost and my phone language remained in English post update. Should you change your mind...
But to contribute to your question, according to the Experia blog there appears to be a relatively big update coming in April to fix a couple of the Nougat issues with sound some users were reporting. That could be why they halted rollouts again.
Hallo hallo guys
I found something good here https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-honor-android-9-pie-update/ which states (I's not clear if this is official info) but it's attached the image
I actually think Huawei might not do this and ship instead the Pie on the same date as the Huawei p20 and p20 pro, because this is not a common 200, 300 euro phone, it's a 400 mid range phone which to be honest it's a high price for a "medium" range phone. Won't even talk about Sony .
Cheers,
Alex
UPDATE: Recent news of November 28 on a chinese source of Huawei tell us that we will be the next phase to test out EMUI 9 Beta after the models which have access to it since Yesterday. Attached image and link to sources.

https://www.ixbt.com/news/2018/11/29/emui-9-0-android-9-0-pie-honor-8x-huawei-nova-3i-huawei-maimang-7.html
UPDATE(As of 10 of December): According to yesterday Weibo(Chinese Twitter) Huawei account we may have finally a date for the EMUI 9 Beta release, according to their image which I could only translate properly with Cambridge online dictionary, after the words "nova 3e" which is our model it says something like "Internal test recruitment expected to be launched in January" which makes sense since there's only number 1 in there , that's the best translation I could've find.
Links:
https://weibo.com/3514064555/H6C78nkYz
http://www.cnsoftnews.com/news/201812/77093.html - This one needs a complete page translation but you can do it using chrome automatically.
Attached image.
UPDATE (as of 7 of January): Great day to be alive guys My sources are always good, as it seems they have opened internal BETA recruitment of EMUI 9 on China for our model Nova 3e(P20 Lite) and also for Huawei Enjoy 9 Plus (yes, it is called like this...XD), just as I predicted to this month and just like they said on the same source Weibo, link: https://www.weibo.com/3514064555/HaSgozmA2?type=comment#_rnd1546873618942
Poster is attached, because an image is always better
For now though it is only open on China, but as soon as it gets to europe it should be quite quick
UPDATE(As of 8 of January): A new blog post reveals the information and confirmation of the Chinese EMUI 9 Beta release:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-invites-beta-testers-for-android-pie-for-nova-3e-and-huawei-y9-2019/
Includes the limit of 2000 participants per country and model for the testing.
UPDATE(As of 21 of January): EMUI 9 Beta is now downloadable in China for who applied for it and new expected stable release dates are available on this source which match my expectations: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-nova-3e-update/
I expect the stable version to hit China on the mid/end of February even though the source says it expects it in March.
The stable version global rollout would probably be from March to April as it says.
UPDATE(As of 24 of January): Found out a new news link from Italy which does confirm that within two weeks their Single SIM version of Italy from the TIM carrier will receive the update POGGERS
Source: http://www.optimaitalia.com/blog/2019/01/17/brucia-tutti-huawei-p20-lite-tim-nel-ricevere-emui-9-tweet-ufficiale-ma-servono-precisazioni/1342206
It's in italian so either use Google Chrome browser for automatic translation or use google for that
But on the tweet from the TIM carrier they say literally "Hello Mark, within two weeks you will receive the update. See you soon"
The news link is from January 17, so depending on the carriers of the countries of europe some will receive sooner and others will receive later this month Be patient guys, the force is within us
UPDATE(As of 30 of January): A news post of Japan reveals oficial information on the update of the stable version of EMUI 9 for the SIM-Free version of the japanese model of Huawei P20 Lite and others.
Source: https://k-tai.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1167193.html

That is true indeed :/
Now that Huawei confirmed at IFA 2018 Event that only the P20 Pro, P20, Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Honor 10, Honor View 10, and Honor Play will get the first access to BETA EMUI 9, which by the way it has launched on europe already, but for only 100 people for each country XD ... So no official information on Huawei P20 Lite or other devices, there is some websites that rumor the P20 Lite to eventually get a BETA around October but idk, it's so unpredictable with these companies...
Here's the official font:
https://www.weibo.com/3514064555/Gxofe8g3G?type=comment#_rnd1535964854883 - It couldn't open it on chrome so try another browser like Firefox and Brave did for me, I also suggest translating cause it's chinese XD
And here is the other font, there is more but I'm a bit busy

Somethings wrong with android world.
For a march 2018 released device , are we talking about whether if it will receive android pie or not?
What ? Software update for a 6 month old phone is a luxury service?
A september 2014 released iphone 6 oldie still recieves ios 12 and probably ios 13 and 14...
because all devices have the same hardware? no but they are aware of their hardware mostly.
and even p20 lite gets android pie luckily it will not get android q.. r... s.... t...
This problem does not only apply to huawei , most of the android devices are having this problem.
Huawei is updating it's flagship! models! but it says on each month security update we update your p20 lite as a flagship device with updates!
What kind of hardware are we paying for in a year the phone becomes old and does not support new version?!
Even Android flagship devices barely receives +2 official versions nowadays ... No surprises here.

That was always a problem with android itself... Do not compare it to IOS though, they are so different. Android is running on a emulation of Linux, that's why it needs double or more RAM than Iphones to be smoother and quicker... It will never be as fast as IOS that's the problem, also it will never be as simple as doing new versions of IOS.
Also we all know that Apple always supported their devices better than any other company.
In my opinion Google should've started a new OS a long time ago, LOL.
Each year I see almost no improvements on the performance on the OS. This is like comparing Windows with Linux, like sure Windows has all apps, bla bla bla, but it will never be as speedy as pure Linux.
If most of Smartphones ran an OS like Symbian or Sailfish or Mee go they would run like, so so fast, faster than Apple's IOS for sure. But nothing happened because Android became popular af and those systems became less updated and the companies went down... I atually loved Mee go OS on the Nokia N9 .
I loved this phone

Technically companies are obligated to support phones with at least 2 major upgrades (2 years).
Hallo hallo all

13:27:19 - Alexandre Santos says : Good morning
13:27:19 - Cristiano says : Hi. My name is Cristiano, How can we help?
13:27:27 - Cristiano says : Good morning Alexandre.
13:29:48 - Alexandre Santos says : Just a question, about the beta of EMUI 9, will the Huawei p20 lite soon have a beta?
13:32:37 - Cristiano says : Maybe the beta version will be available during the next weeks, altough, in the moment we do not have official information on this. I suggest to keep your eyes on our Facebook page (Huawei Mobile), in a way of getting information in first hand about this subject.
13:33:19 - Alexandre Santos says : OK, perfect Cristiano, thanks for your help and information
13:33:35 - Cristiano says : No, I thank you, Alexandre
It's all I got about this, I also asked before this about the date of release of EMUI 9, altough the only info I got was that it might get release till the end of the year on our device or a bit later than Huawei P20 and P20 Pro :/

Hello all, I have a problem with my tablet Huawei MediaPad M6 10.8,
I cannot update the tablet to Harmony OS, I have tried literally all the methods on the Internet, and no method worked for me.
Finally, I formatted it, it may be the solution, but unfortunately, even formatting was not the solution.
The device model is (SCM-AL09) and it works with the latest version (11.0.0.185),
What frustrated me the most is the lack of a device section in the forum haha, please help
Me too ,,if you know any way or if we can grab the update file and update manually

It's bad, I didn't expect to regret my purchase of the device compared to its price at the time with the features it offers, and now, I started to feel very disappointed and knew that whatever the specifications and whatever the price, I would not buy anything except from a popular brand and a wide community.
It's not what you get for the price, it's what you get after you buy it, which is support, whether from the community or otherwise.
Still! No way to update it or I'f anyone can grab update file and annually update it

Any success?
