[SplinteX54]

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

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.

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.
