Do I have Android 7 / EMUI 5.0? - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I am new here and have just installed what I thought was a version of Android 7 with EMUI 5.0 onto my P9. It looks and feels like 7/5.0 (it has the app draw ect.) but on the about phone page it states the following:
Model Number - A168-L09
Build Number - EMUI-A168-L09C900B040SP11-log
EMUI version - 3.1
Android version - 5.1
I am very confused, is this just a skin? Am I able to get back to Android 6 / EMUI 4 if it is? Will I get updates if I stay on this version?

Seems like you have one of the first OTAs for P9. You Have Android 5.1 with EMUI 3.1, not 7.0 with EMUI 5.0
Can you provide some screenshots? It'll be easier to check it

It's the leaked Nougat beta from July-August.

First, you need this rollback file from EMUI 3.1 to 3.0:

Then, you need this rollback file from EMUI 3.0 to 2.3:

Keep me updated of your progress,

Thank you will do it
I forgot to mention that after installing rollback 2.3, you'll need to install the actuall 2.3 firmware that complies with your region, like B121 or B126 if you're from Europe (+-1GB), but you probably know that

Possibly a dumb question about 8.4

Hi, I'm new to this whole android thing. I bought the R1 HD primarily for google maps via android auto. I updated to 8.4, but it still says its Android version 6.0. Does this mean it's still android 6.0, but update 8.4? I wanted to try out the latest android OS. Which I'm not sure if it is 7 or 8.
Yep, newest Android is 7.1.2, there is no way to get it on this phone, and there never will be.
"Update 8.4" or "Update 7.4.2" is referring to the ROM version that BLU puts out. 7.4.2 -8.4 all use android 6.0.
I'm waiting for the Sony camera support in LineageOS to get that sweet sweet android 7.
Thanks for the replies. I understand now, and also have been able to test out the new Android Nougat OS. I think I got it figured out. Thanks again.

the only devices can run cm-11.0 are honor 4x that shipped with emui 3.0. ale-l21 is shipped with emui 3.1 64 bit.
