just curious, are you referring to these?

my build is b321.i ord register for nougat 7.0 beta.so how long need to wait for the OTA?

same here...
really need to downgrade ? in order to get ota ?

1. The 2 zip files only can be install via twrp. Means you need to unlocked your bootloader and install twrp(warranty will be void).

2. Another method is to downgrade your firmware to L29C636B211 via dload and hope you will get B521 OTA update. This method is without unlocked bootloader and twrp.

Method no. 2

** Make sure you backup your files before proceed.

1. Download L29C636B211 "update.zip" firmware.
2. Extract update.zip and copy update.app to dload folder at your sdcard/usb otg. If dload folder doesn't exist. Create the folder.
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Insert/plugin sdcard/usb otg
5. Press and hold volume up + down + power
6. Release it once huawei logo appear.
7. Wait until complete and let it load. ***
8. Once you're in. Go to Setting -> Software update.
9. You will get B521 OTA update.  (I assumed you have registered as beta tester.)

*** If is doesn't load. You need to wipe the cache by entering erecovery. Press and hold volume up + power. Release it once you see huawei logo.

If you don't mind to void your phone warranty then only I will guide you using the method no. 1

Good luck.

So is it viable to buy mate 8 at 1600/1700 range for the 4GB/64GB version at the moment?

I'm on B321 too and have not receive the update despite registered for the beta program some time ago. Contacted Huawei and they assured me they will push the update to me by 31st December. Anyone on B321/B320 that receive the OTA update?

Very very good price...Go for it
Of course it will drop further with time
