go to huawei club and look for the p8 max forum. You have to find the thread and apply it.

So far 6.0 no problem. I read many users got problem in the forum but I am ok with it.
Camera can use professional mode. It can screen recording also. Battery life feel can last longer.

if your OTA not work, you may try this link. All in chinese steps but I think it's not difficult to understand it.

5.1_b029 - 6.0_b211
http://club.huawei.com/thread-9237976-1-3.html

1. download the update.zip file- 1.13GB
2. unzip and copy all folders/files to SD card/dload ( create new folder if don't have )
3. go to settings>updater.

* take your own risk. as i know some of the mate 8 user also using this method to get latest update.

for those need direct download, can download from my onedrive

correction : unzip and copy all folders/files to SD card/dload

So far so good. As i know there are open for regiter beta test b233. But I am not able to find where to register yet.

Maybe 5.1 to 6.0 take longer time to install and boot up? Everything ok now?

have you unzip the update file?
There will be 4 folders and UPDATE.APP after unzip.

I am also confuse the step mentioned in the forum. Should zip or not zip to SD Card/dload folder. You can try again.

Try OTA method if above not work.

1.
a. Launch HiCare app>Member>Check for updates.
or
b. Go to HiApp>search "Huawei", check if "华为手机服务“ ( it's actually HiCare also ) is up to date.


2. Launch HiCare> Service, see if got the "升级申请" ( pic3)
3. Apply.

how big is the UPDATE.APP from the zip file? Here show 61.1MB.
Not sure it's corrupted or not...

info from guide:
other thing need to take note is make sure SD card got at least 4GB space, format is FAT/NTFS.

Not sure what wrong. After unzip is 1.7GB. I update thru OTA when they starting at forum.
I am not sure if our phone if different. I bought my phone from aliexpress, not by local seller. But this shouldn't be any issue since they also import from China.

Have you try install HiSuite thru computer and do update? ( the icon got arrow up is the system update)
