depends on where you installed your twrp:

e-recovery - then yes, as the official updates require a untouched recovery to install the rom

recovery - no, see above^

alternatively you could temporarily switch the recovery to the stock temporarily whilst flashing the rom and flash twrp afterwards
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
No, just the usual stuff I do for apps that need to give me notifications:

- Lock in recent apps screen

- Add to protected apps in battery manager

- Leave active when screen is off (battery settings in app settings)
[Honor 7 General] neXusSerbia:
Is icon transparency fixed on B380?

Is B380 stable now. Is there network speed indicator? How is quick charging doing? How much battery lasts now?

What bugs have you found?

Questions are only for those that upgraded and did factory reset after.

[Honor 7 General] gadgetman04:
Having nightmare with this B380! Phone randomly slows down to a halt sometimes the screen won't come on. Feels very slow and laggy.
[Honor 7 General] flatout23:
4me, everything works good.

Getting nottifications

Quickcharge is allways turned on, just plug in ur original charger and leave the phone.

Networkspeed can be enabled to show, go to Settings<Datamanager<click the gear icon top right<show networkspeed.

Battery lasts longer for me then with previous version. B180 still not beatable.
[Honor 7 General] neXusSerbia:
So, should I move from B180 to B380 or wait?

[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
I tried all available stock and custom rom on my both honor 7 phones. After all experience, i stay on stock B190 now!

I recommend to stay on Lollipop!

My experience:

To many power consumption and to many deep sleep (sometimes no notifications!) makes MM unusable for me. If you really update to MM, it could be helpful to do not use the "intelligent" power mode to prevent this notification problem!!!
[Honor 7 General] venom007:
exatly...notification problem in MM is a big problem
[Honor 7 General] HonorCasper:
Thats what i do mates, i got twrp Most og the time, then if i need Flash og Official Rom i Just change recovery, Flash and change back:)
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
BTW: don’t forget -> -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67463880&postcount=6

[Honor 7 General] gadgetman04:
How do i roll back to the firmware before B380? it's useless and slow and buggy! GRRRR
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
if you have not rooted, it is enough to use the rollback file B300 for it.

Place it in folder dload at your extern sd card and reboot with pressing vol up and down and power for more than 4 sec!

After installing B300, you can change to B180 full and than upload to B190

Hello

I want through custom ROMs twrp, I install the official ROM

How do I install?
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
did you see, that huawei has removed all rom updates on their side? Only the rollback file is available just now!!!
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Can not understand what do you want to do. Install official rom on a custom ROM or

Install a custom ROM on an official rom.
[Honor 7 General] dalandi:
Install official rom on a custom ROM
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Download the latest firmware for your phone, use huawei update extractor to extract recovery.img and boot.img

Flash them in fastboot mode using

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Copy update.app in dload folder in your SD card and use the three button update method.

You will lose all your data so make a backup before that.
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
For me, B380 runs perfectly fine. No issues with notifications.

I would not recommend to stay on older Android versions, you will run into compatibility problems with apps sooner or later and you'll be missing out on security updates.

PS: I read somewhere last week that the Honor 7 will not receive Android Nougat (Polish Honor confirmed). Quite disappointed with that news even though I already had a feeling this would happen. Still unacceptable imo to only deliver 1 new Android version for a device. My next phone won't be an Honor because of this since there are no custom roms to keep this device up to date when official support stops.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
how much better a phone would be that you will get for ~330$ from an other manufacturer?

3000mah battery power; 20MP Cam; aluminum body; gorilla glass III

Please show me your suggestion. Alternatives desired!
[Honor 7 General] Mauvan:
Agree with both Largamelion and non-toxic.

As Read before: after upgrade to B380, backup - factory reset - restore.

Also possible to switch off Smart battery management.
[Honor 7 General] buongu:
mmm this could have made a big point one year ago, but now i believe there are a lot of better options out there on the market for a similar price... asus zenfone3 or huawei nova, with snapdragon625... means a lot of support and virtually no compatibility issues with future android releases... personally i would go for a xiaomi mi5/mi5s... xiaomi is still upgrading its 2012 phones regularly, and again it's qualcomm SoCs on both the phones... with a much better flagship feeling than honor7 (and even honor8 imho).
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
There are plenty of alternatives out there. For my next phone I too will be looking at a Qualcomm SoC again, just for the support. But I'm not worrying about that for the next year or two, cause that's how long I want this phone to last (at least).

I hope we still get security updates for our Honor 7, for at least a year or so.
[Honor 7 General] venom007:
its so sad that they left out honor 7, am looking to get one plus 3t
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
Here's the response from Honor Western Europe on Facebook on my question whether the Honor 7 will receive Nougat or not:

'At the moment only few phones will get Android N. Honor 5X, 5C and 7 are not one of them. But we are still waiting for actual reason that why it is not possible to upgrade.'

Sounds to me like they're trying to postpone making it official because they know it will disappoint a lot of their customers.
[Honor 7 General] Rbunchie:
I guess this are some good news somehow, knwoing they will disappoint a lot of their customers, maybe they will try to bring many EMUI 5 features to EMUI 4 in form of updates (e.g. EMUI 4.1).
[Honor 7 General] venom007:
atleast they should improve ram management
[Honor 7 General] medtun:
Thank you for the useful post.

My question may seem obvious.

How to install these updates on the smartphone ?

It would also be great if instructions or a link about them were mentionned on the post.

Thank you again.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
what is the last official version of Lollipop and MM for PLK-L01?

LOLLI = B190 and MM = B380?

I ask because only B180 and the rollback file are available at the EU hihonor server.
[Honor 7 General] adriansticoid:
B3xx is MM. B1xx is LP.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
sorry, but i think, you didn't understand my question. :o

i am asking for updates >180 for Lollipop and >380 for MM.

so my question was: are B190 and B380 the last official updates for this PLK-L01 device?
[Honor 7 General] bogdanpf:
I don't remember about b190, but b380 is the latest update for MM.

I am the same phone and firmware can't find mm update. I'm in UK.
[Honor 7 General] HmMarques:
It's a c900 ROM, that means you won't get updates..

I had to debrand mine to EU version, installed twrp and root and than installed a costume ROM.. I'm using MMPlusKang by Wbt 3.2 it's based on B180 and works flawlessly ?

Hi im on PLKL01 C185B380. i found 2 versions of C185B382 on the MT finder app, Full and OTA. Which one to download?
[Honor 7 General] buongu:
it depends on what you want to do.

if it were me, I would simply go for the OTA, that way you don't need to back up & restore everything you have :)
[Honor 7 General] asad.kazmi7:
Oh so i can just flash it over my current firmware?
[Honor 7 General] stepzor:
Hi guys,

I'm still on B330; do you know a way to update to B380 without data loss?

I don't recive OTA as I've a rooted phone (I know I should go stock first, but I want to try skipping that step).

Could you also give me a quick changelog rom B330 to B380?

Thanks
[Honor 7 General] locolyric:
Please do stick with only XIAOMI at this moment if you want to buy china branded phone. Support is longer and custom rom is much more.

Other brands always provide update only up to 1/2 year. Even iphone 5 get updates but all flagship from them probably will survive a year.

But if you do not care about update, yes. These phone can stand until battery and board RIP.
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
I'm reading posts about a B382 and B386 for the Chinese version of the Honor 7 so an update is on its way for the EU version I guess. Just hope it doesn't take another couple of months cause I've been waiting quite a while now for that split screen support.

[Honor 7 General] Dabman:
I try your method.

flashing files via fastboot from B180 after rollback, then B180 from sdcard but it show me info that it can't find file...

also when i run phone on B180 and try update using local memory same problem after rebooting, cant find update file

about root, i installed already rooted firmware via twrp, but also i used option wipe all partitions like system etc... same problem.

What i have seen, does not matter if i will use fastboot oem relock xxx and last 4 digits are ok or fake, still same problem (root risk too high).

I haven's stored oryginall unlock key, thus which i'm using to relock i obtain again on huawei unlock side.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
did you copy the update.app out from the zip file into folder -> dload ?

you can not use the downloaded zip file directly!

BTW: i have done this procedure very often for my both Honor 7 and it has already worked for me.

same with the unlock key. The key is usable to unlock the phone again after doing rollback as i had described!

Sorry, my English is not good enough to give you a better explanation.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
don’t ask any longer, just do it!

because:

* some bugs are fixed (notification bug; security bugs etc.)

* better reconnected if signal has been lost

* B170 has a better (more functional) camera app

* Beta users didn't notice a deterioration until now!

[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
that’s right man! If you are at B140 i think, you will have 3 ways now:

1.) downgrade to official B121 and flash the official B170 update after than (see here!)

2.) update it now with the B140-B170 unofficial update from the first post in this tread

3.) wait until the day the hell will be frozen :D

BTW: i have started at B100. Than updated to official B121. Than updated unofficial B140 and B170.

Than rollback to B100 with flashing the B100 SYSTEM.img and than again official updated to B121 and today up to B170!!! No Problem at all!

I don’t know that this will be possible again, but for me it has worked!
[Honor 7 General] Sandnes74:
I'm on B140 now. Will I not ever get any updates now?

As I understand I have to update manually to 170 if I want it, but how about MM when that come?

Manually also?

How do you know that? I thought B140 was an official release, I mean only in France, but It wasn' beta testing, they didn't collect any imeis for it so I think that they'll do update B140 furthe morer. I think I'll wait for the hell to freeze

Do you think that the beta B170 and the official B170 are different? I don’t believe it. I think, they

would have taken a higher version number if they had changed anything.

Anyway: Everybody can do what he wants to do. So it's your free decision to wait! ;)
[Honor 7 General] Sandnes74:
Thanks. So let's say I want to stick with B140 until official MM comes.

Can I then just download the full MM update and install it in local update over 140?
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
i think, no. But maybe i’m wrong!

i would flash the B121 SYSTEM.img ; (like here) update from B121 up to the last official update 5.0.2 and than up to MM.That's my idea now for updating to MM in this situation.

Here in Germany we have only the official update line: PLK-L01 B100 -> B121 -> B170!

This is the reason why i have go my way that way!

BTW: just now i don’t want to update to MM (Android V6x) I will stay at V5.0.2

If its different or not I can't tell, but I'm with nonofficial B170 from two weeks now and build number is the same..

The OTA update to B170 is only for the people with B121 soft? What about B130 or B140? Anyone knows anything? It's hard to believe that everyone has to downgrade in order to get the new software.

I did, from B380 to rollback then using instruction non-toxic, but after flashing files via fastboot i can't flash B180 from dload, system will boot with some errors on B180 but i can't flash B180 (dload), B380 without any problem...
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
ok, next try:

ALL DESCRIBED STEPS ARE ONLY FOR PLK-L01!

all orange parts are links to the described files!

all commands are written in BOLD!

filenames are written in Itallic

At first, fully unroot your device ( install SuperSU 2.62!!! no other version!!!! and remove it after than using the build in full unroot function!!!)

1.) copy rollback300 file (extract update.app out from this rollback file into folder dload at ext. sd card!) and reboot with pressing vol up&down and power for more than 5 sec.

2.) download B180 full rom from HUAWEI support side

3.) extract boot.img / recovery.img / recovery2.img / system.img / cust.img / data.img with HUAWEIExtractor app into folder flash on your pc ( c:/flash/)

4.) extract minimal ADB file into folder "flash" (without ""!) at your pc!

5.) go into this folder "flash" and open a command line window -> c:/cmdEnter

6.) flash with fastboot and minimalADB all this extracted images to your phone...

execute command "adb devices" (without ""!) to be connected to ADB service

if your Honor7 was found, it will shown at the CMD window!

than execute the following commands:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash cust cust.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img

fastboot flash data data.img

If you have finished flashing successfully, you should reboot your device now

7.) reboot

8.) copy the B180 full image (update.app!) to your external sd folder dload and reboot with pressing vol up&down and power for more than 5 sec.

sorry, if my explanation looks like it was written for a newbie, but i don’t know your knowledge!;)

if this procedure should fail again, i do not know how i could help. In this case, i am out.
[Honor 7 General] Dabman:
i will try, i did everything as U wrote without supersu, well... look my signature... U will see that i'm not newbie but thanks, i will try when i back home.

edit:

problem was with SuperSU, after rooting B380, then unroot and rollback B300, flashing manualy B180 i can try flash B180 via dload but... during flashing allways i have error on 90% that is not able to flash "Software install fail"

System is booting as B180 without problems, i try unpack zip and put it on another microSD card, same issue.

ps. still unlocked and...

Any other ideas than changing mainboard ?:)
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
This problem is known for the first time of installing B180!

You should try to install B180 again!!! Normally this will be successfully finished at 100%!

Anyway, as my experience, it makes no difference!

After this procedure, my phones are locked again! And what’s about your device?
[Honor 7 General] Dabman:
Unlocked :( i try second time, still UNLOCKED :( i also try lock manually on B180 and

Is possibility to go under B180? maybe then it will be locked.

For example B100?

I remember when i try to root phone for first time on B330 i flash twrp + latest available SuperSU but won't work so i flashed MoDaCo r2

after short time i flashed B370 + rooted by itself with working SuperSU, and now is that all problem with relocking

Anyone have clue if it will work (relock) when i will buy credit and try to lock it by DC-unlocker or does it use KNOWN method which already does not work on my unit?

edit: i checked

Still unlocked, after that when i try fastboot oem lock

edit:

HiSuite can not find update, i'm actually on B180, B370 also can not be installed via recovery, which full i can install on B180? is possility to get working links to B190 OTA and other OTA which will finally allow me to install B370?
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
Try search engine! "honor 7 B370" or "Honor 7 B190 OTA XDA"

both files are available;)
[Honor 7 General] Dabman:
Well i found all of them but problem was with flashing them, but B360 and B380 is working so i'm on B380, anyway B360 could not find OTA update... so i do not kniw if everything is like it should.

ps. i was thinking about changing phone variant to flash by chinese firmware (i want lock stock instead of modded/rooted etc...)

Chinese allow for call recording without root

There are issues solved as far as I can see concerning the notifications but I also notice that my battery is almost empty after 16 hours.

Does anyone else recognize battery drain after this last update?
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
Battery usage is indeed high but I'm not sure if it's due to B390. My phone is 1,5 years old and the battery has suffered quite a bit (I use the phone every day to navigate to work and back). In the beginning I was able to get 2 days out of one charge, now I sometimes have to charge twice a day. I do have the impression that this latest update made it worse.
