That would be superb if that is actually Nougat. Seems a bit small of a file for an all new OS, though. I just updated my P9 to Nougat and it was, I think 2.1 GB or 1.2GB....

I really hope someone can confirm this.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
yeah its too small but maybe they're getting ready the phone to receive it with the next update.. that was happen with my P8max from 5.1.1 to 6

How it works on other smartphones, I would leave the operator roaming enabled on your telephone line to receive calls while roaming on data block.

In doing so, I can receive calls but I can not surf the Internet.

This is what I would do.

I also tried to block the operator, but when I get back on the operator's screen, remains always on the automatic search function.

Are you able to pull in an update from the HiCare app? when Nougat was released on the P9, I was not getting the update. and someone told me to check the HiCare app, there is an icon for "update" as soon I clicked that, it showed me the Update.

You mean the yellow icon with the text ROM? Also no update there :(

No updates in HiCare for me, same for HiSuite on my PC.

Sorry, I can't confirm at the moment. I have sold my Note 8, but thinking of getting another. I am positive that on the P9 it was under the service tab and said "update"
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balane:
In HiCare when I have my location set to the USA there is no icon under service that says ROM or Update. When I set my location to China (Chinese) I see an Icon that says "Update. " When I have location set to pretty much anywhere else I see an icon that says "OS update early adopters." I'm unable to enter any location and see an icon that says ROM.

Under none of these options I'm able to access do I have any available update.

I believe someone has already posted the english translation above....either way, it really isn't much of an update. My device is running B029, and nothing seems to be changed, or at least nothing visually....I am hoping EMUI 5.0 is released in Februrary for this Device. I just received 5.0 on my P9 and I loving it, much better than 4.1!! Especially visually, they got rid of all the crazy bright colors and that annoying background to the 3rd party apps..it just looks much better!

I have updated (OTA) mine to B029 yesterday. I had locked bootloader, no custom recovery and HiCare and Phone Manager running. The updater said I'm receiving EMUI 5.0 but it is still EMUI 4.1 after the update. I see no change... :(
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cms062407:
It is not 5.0....it is only 200MB. 5.0 is a full OS, it will be at least 1GB in file when it hits the phone.

Thanks for that. Can anybody please explain how I can apply the patch from this zip file? My HN8 isn't rooted if that matters.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashif:
I may be wrong but I guess he just wants to retain calls on roaming and to have the data switched off.

I think I have the similar problem. Does your phone keeps switching to Tim Network?

My problem is more weird in the sense that my signal (for Jio-4g) keeps reverting to Tim Mobile in India (where there is no Tim Network) and this happens only with one carrier. If I change the sim, i dont have any issues. Morever, it keeps switching between Tim/Jio and I lost more than 15% battery in 10 mins. To eliminate sim error, I have tried the same sim in other mobile (still working fine) and have bought 3 different sims from JIO but the problem persists :(

Is there any way to flash modem to eliminate this error?

Good morning,

having unlocked bootloader and root, you can install the update without losing the bootloader block, the root and in particular the data?

Thank you

I didn't have that problem, I installed HiSuite Version 5.0.1.300_OVE on the PC, (which installed the required drivers) and was able to block the Phone manager app via debloater (latest version).

The notifications have been working well since, but have lost a few nice to have items such as battery information, i.e. SOT etc.

I was running 027 firmware at the time, which has since been updated to 029.

You lost not the Unlocked Bootloader,but root.

You must be go back to Stock.Your Data Back it up with Huawei Backup.

Install Stock Recovery via ADB and go back to Stock Rom via E Recovery.E Recovery Download automatic B027 with 1773 Mb and install the B027 automatic.After B029 update install Twrp and root it and restore your Huawei Backup.

Or flash all the img files from B022 via Adb (system,boot,cust and recovery)

Factory Reset

Make the B027 Update and then B029

This works for me

Good morning ,

I use the latest wanam xposed (xposed-v86.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160709) , but sometimes I have to boot twice.On the chinese Webside I've seen that they are using this one "xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64" , but EMUI

does not like standard xposed .So maybe you have to use a different launcher.

Full Nandroid is not possible at that time , I think we have to wait for a officiel twrp.

No other probs for now , maybe later.

Hello ,

Deinstalled wanam xposed and went to xposed for EMUI (http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765) .

Rebooting issue is gone.Works perfect now.

Correction : Reboot issue still there.

Maybe it does not belong to xposed.

Could be root or recovery , I don't know now.

It happends only sometimes.

Sorry, I could not find the page you want ......

We're sorry but the page your are looking for is Not Found ...

Carefully looking over the matter, I did not find the page you are looking for. The most likely cause is:

*There may be a typing error in the address.

*When you click on a link, it may have expired.

BUT, when I opened the page from an American IP address, it went through (BTW, I'm in the Philippines, and no, I don't have a Chinese IP address). Unfortunately, I got stuck again on the "create nickname" page. I get this error:

My money is still stuck and the seller's reply is still the same - 'will ship asap'. It has been 20 days and no resolution seems to be on sight. Have tried cancelling four times citing different reasons but everytime AliExpress have rejected my claim saying seller has procured phone and has stock and will ship asap. Even contacted their customer care, who sounded very helpful but at the end said it is prerogative of seller and that he will try to convince seller to cancel the order!

This has been the MOST frustrating experience in my almost 10+ years of dealing with online orders. Just confused whether to wait some more or raise chargeback from my credit card.
