[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] g3turkey:
Hi Letscky,Are you going to post B352 Rom zip??
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
Also got the B352 update today. In the UK.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
Greece here too but no update...so i downloaded with firmware finder and everything ok.

Moviehunter hi,

Would you show us how you get the rom zip from firmwarefinder app? I have the app,my phone is rooted B350 right now with TWRP.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
How did you do that? With DSN trick i get update failed at 4% :(
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
well that was with me too for weeks now.. but when i saw people from my country telling that they updated from the phone, while mine didn't as long as I tried,i tried again firmware finder 2 days before and... voila.. he did it.. and yes with the dns trick.

Im not rooted for now because i wanted the update.

And for people asking about the zip its not 1 zip but 3..firmware finder is free why don't you get it and don't mess with flashing zips... just unroot and root again after the flash.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
Here comes official without this Trick.

Wait one or Two Days,for me comes Yesterday.

I hope you are complete on Stock,Stockrecovery and unrooted?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Yes stock, only unlocked bootloader, but thats not a problem right?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
I don't know,i had Problems with the Update from B332 to B350 with unlocked Bootloader,with locked no Problems
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Yeah thanks unlocked bootloader was the problem, I got the B352 update now and root it to unistall some huawei crap like phonemanger. Now waiting for your new rom :D
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chicharon:
How did you do the dns trick? Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
Just follow the instructions of firmware finder..its easy.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chicharon:
Thanks let me try that.. The b350 firmware is preventing me from updating or installing any apps via the play store even after numerous reboots.. Very frustrating!

Lucky for you, some users also reporting same problem. I just got ota of B352 last night.

Im thinking of doing a factory wipe. Anyone suggest this?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victoria Sparks:
I once had a Note 4 and now using Huawei Mate 9. So far, I would go to Mate 9 cause its faster. Yet sometimes it lags and it feels hot.

What's the easiest way to go back from B352 to B350?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
Is on your Phone Twrp installed or Bootloader unlocked?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Nope, everything stock since I bought it.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
I feel the Batterylife on B352 is gaga
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Your LRS v1.0 B350 ROM looks interesting.

So if I'm on stock B352, what are the steps?

Do I need to root phone, is that the same as unlock bootloader?

1.) Backup all data using HiSuite

2.) Boot to recovery (How?)

3) Wipe all,Data with "yes" Dalvik Cache,Cache,Cust,System,Internal Memory,Data

4) Install Rom (Takes about 5 min)

5) Reboot (2 min)

6) Restore Backup using HiSuite
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
Had B352 for a few days and now I'm getting a Google Play store bug.

Random apps won't download or update. Some give error code 0 but with most, the play store just closes itself and no error is reported.

I've uninstalled play store, reinstalled it, tried older builds and latest builds. The fault is random.

Sick to death with this phone now. Fault after fault after fault. I'm getting rid of it. eBay here I come.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
What are you thinking of getting?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
No idea. Something that's not Chinese though. Fed up with all the basic stuff that should work, but just doesn't. The notification bug is the biggest killer for me but with each update comes even more annoyances.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] g3turkey:
You got to wipe everything and then reinstall

Did you root your phone by any chance?

I haven't loved a phone more than the Honor Note 8. It does everything right for me, the only issue i've had was the battery after instaling B352 from B350 today. (Although I may have just forgot to charge this morning :S) Up until today, the huge AMOLED screen, monstrous battery, enough RAM and processing speed that never lets me down are all still features that I can't find together in any other phone. Open to suggestions, here are the only phones with 6+ screen size, 4GBmin RAM, 4000min battery and an AMOLED screen. I'm hoping for the Honor Note 9 in August.

I bought the Xiaomi Note 4X the other week but it had not one benefit over the Honor Note 8 bar the smaller footprint.

BTW, What's this notification bug?

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Can I do that without having to root?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
Notification bug stops apps from pushing notifications if they're not open/running in the background in system memory. Closing an app will make Huawei's crap software kill it completely so you won't get any notifications until you re-open the app.

An easy way to test this is by using Google Hangouts. If that's not running in system memory, no notifications come through.

Some say changing permissions/notification options fixes it but it doesn't.

The only way is to root & debloat/remove phone manager. It is this that is the culprit.

My phone is stock. Bootloader locked and I have not rooted it, although I was tempted just to get rid of the abysmal phone manager that breaks core android functionality.

I have never had to do factory reset any phone after an update and I've had dozen) of android phones over the years. Huawei's own backup app doesn't even work and the old one on the play store won't install.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Strange, I bought the Xiaomi Note 4X after rave reviews but I was plagued with a terribly laggy phone with dodgy bluetooth. Go figure.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
I have always had flagship devices from all of the big brands.

I love the screen size of this but I regret getting rid of my Note 5 for this. Basic things don't work and I just spend every day waiting for something else to go wrong. Never had these issues with my Mate 7 that I had a couple of years ago. Huawei suck.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] g3turkey:
My note 8 works smoothly with only a few minor bugs,i used flagship nexus 6 and s7 edge,at the beginning i hate note 8,it took 2 weeks to set the rom and rooted it but now i love note 8,tge main problem is you can not find custom roms for note 8 but the hardware is great.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
I think I might stick with this until the new Pixel/Nexus phone comes out.

I can ignore the the little niggles sometimes but other times it drives me mad. The play store bug I had earlier seems to be gone now. But how long before it comes back?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] g3turkey:
Advanced wipe can solve the bugs,updates is not easy on note 8,afterall there is not much phone with qhd resolution over 6 inch at the market right now.During updating B350 my bluetooth stopped working,i tried everything but never worked so i did an advanced wipe and bluetooth bug disappeared.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
When you say advanced reset, you mean factory reset?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
Try adding a widget for all the apps who's notifications aren't getting through. This works with certain apps. For example for me this trick worked with whatsapp. Prior to that nothing I tried would work.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
Thanks. I knew about the widget trick. Most of my apps that I need notifications from don't have widgets though.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:

Yes to all.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] g3turkey:
If your phone rooted with twrp you can do advanced wipe if not then only factory reset.

Phorenzik where did you get play store apk?,i installed from hiapp and it works.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
Play store was from Hi app but I had to use a different build from APK mirror. The bug seems to be that if more than 1 installed app requires an update, you can't click on 'update all' or the play store closes.

You have to update each app separately.

Even doing it this way, certain apps still fail to update. Facebook messenger won't update at all.

Edit. Fixed it. Uninstalled it (again) & re-installed it from hiapp and then updated it via the 'settings' tab in the app. All works again now.

Your data Partition is not mounted,make a Factory Reset and Data is mounted

Better install Stockrecovery and Factory Reset and install Twrp again.

I write franzroy he make the boot img for us,with this is easy mount data and root the Phone
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Messed up big time!

Unzipped your zip file instead (n00b) and installed the boot.img instead of the zip file.

Now I can't even load TWRP, as VOL UP+Power goes straight to boot into Android but once there, I have about a minute before it shuts down and I have no access to developer options/factory reset.

eRecovery doesn't work either as the package is invalid and when I try to use a command line to run ADB and go into fastboot, it says I'm unauthorised. Happy Birthday. It also doesn't give me a factory reset/wipe partition option. Just Download latest version and recovery, Reboot or Shutdown.

If I could get into TWRP, then no problem but I can't even use ADB to install it or flashify. :(

VOL UP+Power = eRecovery but package invalid when using WLAN

VOL UP+DOWN+Power = boot into Android but can't access any system functions at would just restart

ADB doesn't function as it says I'm unauthorised, so can't fastboot and install TWRP

A mess.

What image should I use for stock recovery?

I have to make a dload folder in internal storage and put the UPDATE.APP file there, yes?

Then hold the VOL UP+DOWN+ Power, right?

Please link me to the file, many thanks.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Okay, so I found the B320 stock ROMS for the phone and used this method:

In your phone, dial *#*#2846579#*#* from phone dialer to open the hidden menu.

Navigate the option Project Menu --> Software Upgrade --> SDCard.

I then installed both update.app files.

I'm on B320 now but it still restarts after a few minutes. Settings also stops responding and I can't access developer options, factory reset settings.

I also can't access ADB as aforementioned above... time to visit the Huawei support center?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Okay, back in, no more crashes. Installed everything from SD card using VOL UP+DOWN+POWER settings.

Now to try to install your ROM again LOL

OMG, it's done. Bloodshot eyes and shot nerves but done.

Speakerphone echo

Hello friends, I have a little problem with my big guy. Whenever I am calling with speakerphone on, there is an echo on other side - persons on the other side hears echo of their voice when they are speaking. My side is clear, I am not hearing any echo. My phone is rooted and I have removed TalkBack, and problem still remains. This problems occurs with normal calls and with viber and whatsapp calls too. I am afraid that my phone is defective. Please, do you have any advice?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
Battery improvement in the latest firmware is non existent in my opinion/experience... No improvement in stand-by or in usage (5 days since updated without wiping after).

Maybe it is for some strange, specific scenarios.... who knows....

Both HiApp and the stock updater don't show any updates. I think my stock rom is b0rked, themes don't install, phone is unauthorised in adb (tried, revoking access, kill-server, the works) so I can't install/flash TWRP to flash or wipe drive and alot of other functionality is messed up.

Only option I'm left with is stock recovery putting UPDATE.APP in a "dload" folder on my SDcard.

That file above doesn't have an UPDATE.APP file, how can I get it and can I just install that over B320?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Sorry it's for TWRP. You can try on PC with Hisuite. There you can go back to B029 stock and then update with stock updater to B320/B350 and B352.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
I wish I could but it says my device is not supported for system recovery. I got into recovery mode by rebooting using VOL UP+Power button.

Phone is so messed up. :*(

Need the UPDATE.APP file for B029 I think. Any ideas where to get?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
No not system recovery, click in Hisuite on update, then you get a message that there is no new update, but there you can select go back to B029.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Yup, tried everything.

For some reason I thought without authorisation I couldn't install TWRP, but I just tried now and it let me install.

Going to wipe data and flash to B350.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Okay, have B350 flashed that you linked but it's rooted so can't play Pokemon Go. :(

I thought that zip file was the stock rom? Can it be stock and also modified (rooted)?

I guess I should downgrade to B029 using HiSuite.

Downloaded the update files for B029 (update.zip and update-data_full_all_cn.zip) but where are those files for B350?

Update: I used HiSuite to restore B029, it downloaded, installed, restarted phone. Instead of updating though, it went to TWRP and wrote some stuff I couldn't read before going to the menu.

I saw the update.zip/update-data_full_cn.zip files were placed in a dload folder on my internal storage, so I went to wipe everything (Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage) but when I went to format data, nothing was mounted. So I repaired data by forcing it to ext4 and everything was mounted again.

Then I went to flash the update.zip but it said there was an error. Great! So I reboot and NOW i'm stuck in a BOOTLOOP!

I went into fastboot and tried fastboot flash boot twrp.img to get back into TWRP but it just reboots before entering the menu.

I tired fastboot flash boot recovery_stock.img and then flash TWRP, but still bootloop.

I'm sick and tired of this now. I started all this since Saturday and I'm almost at my wits end.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
When restore to B029 in HiSuite, you need the stock recovery and not twrp. Here are the stock files from B350.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545570519

Reboot into Bootloader

Use CMD with the Commands:

fastboot flash boot BOOT.img

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img

fastboot flash cust CUST.img

fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img

fastboot reboot
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Thanks, will try it once I've powered up. Took the phone to a repair shop but even they couldn't fix it. I think he did the same method as above but used the B027 images.

After rebooting, I should flash the stock recovery and then install B029 files?

Should I do that by putting the UPDATE.APP files (from update.zip and update_full_all_cn.zip) on my SD card in the dload folder one at a time?

I read that I should't reboot but how to install seperate UPDATE.APP files?

Thank you so much.

Update: Okay, I flashed image files but still loops. I think I'm out of options. :(

Quick update, when flashing recovery.img from B022, B027, B029, B350, they all lead to the message, "Your device is booting now," to freeze.

When flashing twrp.img for 3.1.1.0, 3.1.0.3, 3.0.0.0, 2.8.7.0 and 2.8.2.0, they would also lead to the message, "Your device is booting now," to freeze.
