Any Reason to NOT Upgrade to EMUI 5.0? - Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

Just got my Honor 6x last week. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted the phone yet, and honestly, I'm not sure I'm going to bother doing so this time around. I also haven't installed the update to EMUI 5.0 yet. If in the future I do decide to unlock the bootloader, or root the phone, is there any reason I shouldn't install the EMUI 5.0 update now, or is it safe to do so?

It is absolutely safe and works fine unless there is any bug for your specific model.

There is neither one reason to remain on EMUI 4. Everything is better on Nougat, you'll see

emui 5 lags on prolonged usage ....this is said to be fixe in b370

EMUI 5.0 is good but for battery backup Stay back

Well, the 7x was intended to launch with Oreo, but it arrived before Huawei was able to finish EMUI 8.
And all Honor devices launched with EMUI 5 will receive Oreo with Treble (Honor 9 and 8 Pro already have)

Android Pie for Axon 9 Pro

Since there is no official Axon 9 Pro forum (why?), please allow me to post here.
I just got a notification that there is an update to "ZTE_A2019G_ProV2.1.0B01" available, description starts with "Upgrade Android release from O to P." Sounds promising. Anybody got this too and tried it out? Did it work alright?
BTW, still looking for a way to root the Axon 9 Pro, $30 bounty: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/twrp-zte-axon-9-pro-a2019g-pro-t3889760

Try with rooting application(like kingroot , they may not work on pie),even iam also trying to root my phone running android pie (Nokia 6) but because of no bootloader unlock, iam using as it is.if u try to root or modify the device without unlock ,it may lead device brick sometime it's hard to recover.
If I found any method for rooting your device definitely I will let you know. Can you please share the APK
Looking forward for your help

When will beta 9.0 come out ?

Hey There...
Does anyone knows when will beta version of EMUI 9.0 be available globally. They said it would be in July if anyone knows exact date ?
Any help would be appreciated
I bet they have silently cancelled it, there was a beta project in my country, I was approved, but never received the ota, it is now gone from the beta app.
Pretty disappointed tbh, Huawei and Honor just lost yet another customer

But some recent news on internet are even confirming EMUI 9.1 for our device. How could they cancel 9.0 and confirm 9.1. Maybe they are upgrading the device directly to 9.1 that's why they removed the 9.0 Update from FUT

I did not say they would cancel the update altogether, just the beta project, which they obviously did.

There seem to be some updates for your model on Firmware Finder, if you're willing to tinker with it you can give HuRUpdater a try. Personally, I just wanted emui 9 to move to newer openkirin releases.

Yes there are but I don't have a spare phone these days to use as a daily driver if anything messes up so I am a little bit afraid to do a force update.

Which security patch did you have on EMUI 9.1? I'm looking to move to OmniRom and apparently the security patches from May onwards caused bootloops with OpenKirin images.

It came with the June security patch, I was not able to use OmniRom (bootloops as you said, adb starts tho not fully) but I actually tried RR for emui 9 and it worked

np, I got pretty worried when I got the bootloop, thinking that the update to emui 9.1 was somehow "incomplete".
Btw under RR the device is seen as "Kirin Treble" and not Honor 7X, but from what I can tell everything works fine. Do you also have the European model?

It updates the security patch to october. And that's pretty good. I guess Samsung is not going to improve this firmware any further. Camera won't get any better because the sensor is too small for 24mp, although it's not bad considering the price, and fingerprintsensor also has improved a lot. It just needs to be set up right, and many users don't seem to succeed.
My only reason now to prefer an s series phone over a50 is the camera.

Hi, check out my other thread about GPS issues. I had them with previous version than this and the previous still. I don't think it is related to firmware at this point - until they finally realize it and fix it, of course
