EMUI 4.1 update for Huawei P8

[andy_from_ireland]

I noticed last night there is a EMUI 4.1 update for my wifes P8 last night - have downloaded it but it appears to be a tar.gz file ( P8.kernel.[Android5.0]tar.gz ) ... what do I do with it now/how do I use it on the P8 phone to update the EMUI to 4.1 version on her phone? - if I try extracting it it just has an extension of .tar ( P8.kernel.[Android5.0]tar ) - so its not like an update.app that you put on the root of the SD card or anything like that.

Was this an OTA update that showed up in the notification area of the phone? If it was then it should have downloaded and installed automatically. There isn't anything else you need to do to install it. If you downloaded the update from a website, or other third-party source then I would caution against installing it.

Download - EMUI

If you downloaded it from that link, it's not a firmware update, but only the "Kernel Source Code" - totally different things.

Huawei have released a Marshmallow (Android 6.0 & EMUI 4) update for the P8 now - the "Android5.0" in the filename you downloaded kind of gives away the fact that this is not an update.

Check your phone internally for updates (like srkmagnus suggests) while it is connected to the internet: Settings > Update > Check for updates

Also open the HiCare app > Service tab > OS Upgrade Early Adopters
And HiCare app > Me tab > Check for Updates
