Security updates?

I was wondering how many and what updates everyone else have received and when?

I'm currently on the April 2017 security update and I received that in early June I believe.

I'm hoping Huawei can at least be excused by the fact they're working on an Oreo update instead of doing security updates and bug fixes (highly doubtful though). Mine is a Nordic unlocked model by the way.

So are anyone else receiving security updates?

Not here, in Spain. The thing is, I don't see any security patch coming till next EMUI version arrives, hopefully before the end of the year.

Not sure if this helps, but I found some way opening another security gap ;)

As far as I figured out, you need 3 files for the update to work:
  • update.zip
  • update_full.zip (or update_full_WAS-XXX_hw_eu.zip)
  • update_data_full_public.zip

I am sure, FirmwareFinder or any other tool might come in handy doing so. The next thing you'd need would be TWRP which is available as some beta build somewhere on this forum. Then you'd have to unlock the bootloader and root your device to get TWRP on it. I'd recommend doing some research on this as you might have to get some code for "fastboot oem unlock"...

Flash the files listed above the way they're listed.
