Use FF to update BTV-DL09C433B001 ?

[wonderlamb]

Newb here. Live in the US, just got a Mediapad M3 with version BTV-DL09C433B001 ( EMUI 4.2.3 and Android 6 ). The sim from my iPad works great and I can make and receive calls. Everything seems to work ok.

Like anyone I want the latest Android and EMUI. Is it worth it? should I bother? I am an actual embedded developer, so this stuff isn't way out of my league, I just don't know exactly what to do for this device on this platform.

I found FF and it show a lot of images that I can apply. I guess C433 means spcseas region. I heard that C233 installs Chinese and that may be the latest but comes with limits like no Google. I have three questions:
1) can I install an image for a different region (Cxx) without breaking everything,
2) can I install a fullOTA image rather than tediously stepping up image by image, and
3) which region (Cxx) should I go with to continue to work in the US?

Thanks in advance if you bother to have answers

I have the same Model with the same question. Were you ever able to get updated to Nougat?

You may need to change your region oeminfo partition before flashing another regions firmware. If you dont certain things might or might not work properly.

Any help on my ME us edition BTV-DL09C433B001 would be much appreciated.

I also have the M3 Btv-dl09c433b001 version.

It appears this version is not getting any support from Hauwai. I am still on Android 6.

Does anyone have a way to update my version to 7.0?

I did try to download and install BTV-DL09C199B350 on to my M3 but it didn't work. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I would read this thread on how I upgraded to 7.0.
