This is true, however, the second you answer another call you will lose the original call. The first thing I did was call sim 1 from sim 2. I recieved the alert that i had an incoming call but also recieved a warning that sim 2 will be terminated the second I answered sim 1.

The MD5 checksum matches, I also went ahead and added it to the "Recoveries" folder in my Google Drive folder here.

Also, all three ROMs are now uploaded there.

Well i dont know...maybe its my networks in my country ..my phone works all ok..a guy in a forum that we have made also a video that proves that it works the way im telling you but its on my language so you will not understand a thing ..also on my P8 max works that way.

Iam pretty sure that you didn't test it or your phone has a hardware problem.. check it not the way you say but with real calls.. all you need is 2 friends to call you at the same time.

I don''t have oem unlock botloader in developer option

Dear friends,

I don''t have oem unlock botloader in developer option, so i can''t unloack the bootloader. Any advice?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
Is there a Huawei app like Samsung's Good Lock that changes the OEM recents and multitasking tab to something more akin to AOSP.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
Try this. You need to have bootloader code ready before you do. Get one either through dc-unlocker app or from their website. In Step 7 of the guide, where it says "Error..." the actual command is

fastboot oem unlock unlock_code

replace unlock_code with the actual code

Do you have the phone? How's the reception and network speeds in San Diego? Who is your carrier? Can you post a speedtest screenshot from speedtest app? I mean cellular data of course, not WiFi speed test. TIA
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benmeroff:
You shouldn't need that option to unlock the bootloader, I didn't see it but was able to unlock mine with the DC Bootloader app that's been mentioned in this thread.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
This option is on some huawei like P9 lite.. our phone dont need this so you can unlock it with the DC app

I discovered something.

I am on B022 now and I do not have that "erratic missing modem" bug. My modem now always shows up every bootup.

But I discovered that I now have an "erratic autostart apps not firing up" bug.

Sometimes, autostart apps like selinuxmodechanger, kernel adiutor, etc, fire up after bootup... but sometimes they don't.

The pattern is random, just like that missing modem bug.

Also, KWS http://j.mp/2egtjx9 sometimes die (i use the paid version). It seems even after I configured

all

power-related and security-related settings, emui kills the web server after some time.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashif:
I had the same issue with 'All in One Gestures' (very useful for phone this size) with EMUI killing it off randomly and half the time not allowing it to start. Got fed up and froze Phone Manager app and now everything works as it should. I had realised this during my time with Mate and since then this has been the first step in configuring whenever I buy Huawei Phone (This is my 4th phone) and the main reason for rooting the phone.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
How do you freeze phone manager app? Thanks!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashif:
Oops sorry forgot to mention. Through Titanium Backup ofcourse!

I do have the phone on T-Mobile's service. It is limited to HSPDA+. See screen shot.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clownmodes:
You are indeed correct. If I call sim 1 from sim 2 it disconnects when I answer simply because the phone is idiot proof. I mean who calls themselves anyways? :D

Here is an up to date video, testing both methods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pi5Gtd4c8o&feature=youtu.be

Thanks for the information. I Love this phone!!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
I'm also on T-Mo and in SD...LTE issue is a big pain, so I've been reluctant to buy it, especially since I tether a lot. Is the upload always limited to 1Mbps, or can you get maybe 2-3Mbps, if you run speedtest at different locations or times?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
I've had various DL speeds from sub 2 to a bit over 9. UL speeds are always close to 1 unfortunately.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
This is the only reason why I'm still stuck on Note 3. Love HHN8 screen, but the kinda speeds you're getting is a deal breaker. Keeping fingers crossed for international/US release.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
Calling sim 1 from sim 2 can't test if the phone is dual sim on line.. test it with 2 phone calls at once... as for your video.. i don't think i understand anything..i see it through my P9 lite, maybe its my small screen or the low resolution video.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clownmodes:
The video is simple, the last call i made was to my voice mail from sim2, i then answered an incomng call i made through a third phone line to sim1. I was able to bounce back and forth between both conversations no problem.

The video is 1080p. I'll add some text an reupload it for any future visitors with the same questions. Cheers

hi, suddenly, my phone does not recognize my fingerprint, and same for my code. I am sure I am not wrong about the code though. It could be a fingerprint sensor problem, but I don't understand what is wrong with the unlock code.

I tried to boot on recovery and erase the cache, but no change. I can't open and use my phone right now. I hope I don't have to erase all data, etc.. Any idea?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
you use only 1 finger?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alain belay:
no, I recorded two fingers, and no one is recognized... neither the unlock code.. very strange isnt'it?...

I don't know what happened but it is very annoying. I hope there is a solution in case it happens to somebody else...

I would settle for a compiled A to Z post. So far ive read how to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP.. beyond that its all latin. Anyone know the best tutorials guys like me should study? Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
What else are you looking for besides unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP? Once you have custom recovery - you've conquered your phone. Just flash SuperSU zip file and you're rooted and can do anything you like with the phone. You're asking for a tutorial - since you already know how to unlock bootloader and flash recovery, tutorial for what?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clownmodes:
Like i said , Ive only read about those first two things. Im not in any rush to brick my phone by pretending I know what im doing. I'd rather ask the stupid questions and hopefully get put on the right track. Thanks for your patience

Honor Note 8

Hey everyone,

well, I want to buy this particular phone. This will be my first ever China phone.

I am just not really sure yet, which will be the best shop to order it from.

Concerning the needs of having the GAPPS on the phone, like mail/calendar/contacts which will sync as well.

On top if possible that the GAPPS don't disappear after a possible update to Nougat.

There are so many of them:

Alibaba.com

eglobalcentral.com or eglobalcentral.de

cect-shop.com

wondamobile.com

tradingshenzhen.com.

Sorry guys, right now I cannot recall anymore right now - I am at work......... and the list of all those shops is -guess what- at home.

The first phone ever I rooted was the Galaxy S4, because it was brilliantly explained in one of the German forums and youtube.

But for this phone there is just what you guys write, so I am like "clownmodes".

Been reading what you write in this thread, but actually never yet in my life

unlocked a bootloader or worried about finding out some code of the phone.

I would love it though, if in case Huawei releases Nougat for this lovely phone, I want to have that on it...... including the GAPPS and outlook and whatsapp.

Greets from a newbie,

JULIA

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benmeroff:
Hey Julia! Welcome to XDA.

I bought mine here at Gizok, they shipped within 3 business days, and the device was packed extremely well and shipped with DHL.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juwel1998:
Hello benmeroff,

did the store delete the chinese bloatware off it and install GAPPS (esp. with calendar, contacts, gmail)?

Will it perfectly sync with all those apps?

Did they install the international ROM, so possible updates will be "recognized"?

Greets,

JULIA
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benmeroff:
They did include working GAPPS for me (which worked great until I flashed a new ROM), but they didn't remove any Chinese bloatware. Once you root it or install another ROM, you can easily use a root app to remove the Chinese apps you don't need. If you do install another ROM, you'll lose GAPPS, so see my previous post a few pages back on how to successfully reinstall GAPPS.

I'm not sure which ROM distro they used, but I did have an EMUI update ready to install just a bit after I'd gotten the phone up and running.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clownmodes:
I bought mine here This is the top seller of this phone on aliexpress with 160pcs sold and a 4.9 out of 5 customer feedback rating for this phone and a 97+% rating overall. It came with GAPS set up and multi-language rom
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juwel1998:
Well, I checked on Aliexpress, but they say they cannot deliver to Germany.

I ordered from wondamobile.com now. This is where -I think his name on youtube is Tech Zilla-.

They say they will put international Rom on there, "debloat" most of the Chinese software and google apps is on there.

But up to now I never received an e-mail from the store.

Na, let's wait and see.

International rom??? Where is that coming from? To my knowledge, the only version of the phone that has been released is EDI-AL10 which is the Chinese version. I'm hoping that there is an international version with more LTE bands enabled. Anyone heard of this?

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

I ordered mine from https://www.vopmart.com. I ordered it on a Friday and had it the following Wed. Shipping cost me $32 but it was worth it. The wait was excruciating. lol

I installed twrp on my note but am unable to switch it to English. The menus are there but the "world" icon does not do anything. All the other menus work.

Any ideas?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benmeroff:
Yeah for whatever reason that globe icon in settings doesn't like to actually be pressed, but I found if I long-pressed it a few times all around where that button space is I was able to eventually toggle it. From there you can change the language to English. It might be something screwy with the version of TWRP, but I'm not 100% sure.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
Your seller is overpriced, selling the phone at above market prices even before shipping, and he also provides false information to US customers in that auction, about the phone supporting AT&T LTE - HHN8 EDI-AL10 model does not support a single LTE band, used by AT&T in US. Lastly, by the way you advertise him, I suspect your opinion is biased, because you either get paid to make such posts, or get some other benefits/discounts from this Chinese merchant.

(LOL) Sorry don't get paid for advertising or discounts bud, was just throwing out a good seller I had good experience with more than once for others. If you don't like the price, simple enough don't buy it, no need to be a ass about it .

Would have been faster to order it directly from China via Ali. Cheaper too at $417 for the silver 64gb version, I'm guessing by the price you're selling it at on swappa. Got mine in about 6 days.

Hi All!

After reviewing all of the posts, and checking out all of the links, I am able to download ROMS from any of the chinese sites. Actually all of my friends are chinese and I already have QQ, BAIDU and club.huawei accounts, so I am able to download anything from the chinese forums. I did take Chinese class at uni (although i bombed it), but its enough to figure out what/how to download from there. Basically it doesnt let you download without a BAIDU or QQ account, and you are required to post a thank you reply in the thread to reveal the download links.

I'm down loading this one now http://club.huawei.com/thread-11011874-1-1-4102.html which is some "game" optimized rom with a bunch of performance tweaks and governor profiles for the CPU.

I'm downloading a few other resources as well now. I'll post them all up in a google drive or MEGA once I have them :)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
Tell us how it goes with the rom(s)! I'd love to find a ASOP or CM rom. Even better if someone finds a way to enable the US LTE bands. I don't think any of it will happen without a forum for this phone.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alain belay:
thank you Jetherson for reply.

Anyway I hope that it will not happen to any one of you.

I made a full recovery and everything is ok now but I will not try to use the fingerprint lock until I find the reason.

And btw, I bought mine(two Mimax and one note 8, actually, one have been stolen from my bag...) from Ibuygou. https://www.ibuygou.com/

No problem and fast DHL, no custom charge(they declared as a bluetooth speaker).

Very good repair service located in Poland for Europeans buyers like me. I experienced it with my first Mimax hard bricked by my fault.

But they don't make any Google install or whatever. The guy from Poland unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP for me though.

I can recommend them now.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
Unlocking additional LTE bands is far more complicated than rooting a device. It requires reverse engineering baseband firmware, doing hex editing of binary code, writing to protected NV memory and using advanced diagnostic tools, typically not publicly available - only R&D engineers of manufacturers have them, because they can modify IMEI and do a bunch of other things, which would be illegal for consumer. Don't wanna burst your bubble, but unless you're a developer with good knowledge in ARM assembly - you would be wasting your time...When I suggested someone looks into it I meant very experienced dev - this is not the kind of thing a user would be able to accomplish, using tips and tricks from Google search or by going to a local phone shop.

Here is an example of a guide to unlock LTE bands on Qualcomm Snapdragon devices (People, do *NOT* try it with this phone! The guide is *NOT* for Kirin chipsets), to give you an idea of complexity: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56577252&postcount=455

Hi All,

Um...is it just me, or does it sound like some of the senior members in xda (and in this forum in particular) are a bit negative, discouraging and at times outright obnoxious. Just saying. Perhaps we should all just stop trying to do hard things? But, can I just request that we all be a bit more positive and encouraging in here? Especially those of us who have not yet produced any results to date other than to discourage others?

thanks,

cheers,

chris

P.S. - the people who helped me root my phone are ex R&D engineers for Huawei.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
Not calling people "obnoxious" would be a good start to any kind of positivity and encouragement you ask for. Next time it will be reported, for forum rules violation. You're welcome to try and do any kind of development/hacking, including unlocking LTE bands - we all would be happy to see you succeed, because everyone will benefit from it. Just try not to confuse caution with negativity. Remember, some people on XDA are newbies and the wrong advice could permanently damage someone's phones, so fair warnings and making people aware before they do anything is considered a good general policy around here. For example, if someone hex-edits their NVRam with the wrong values, without saving previous values - that would permanently cripple or disable baseband radio in their phone.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] toasty32:
Report me? For what? Saying some people in here can be obnoxious? Be my guest man. But I don't think the admins will be banning me for life anytime soon after reviewing the thread. Especially considering I'm trying to actually make a contribution to this thread. I don't think they would appreciate your foul language in describing AliExpress either (again...I'm not particularly defending AliExpress lol).

In any case, all I'm saying is a little less naysaying and a bit more productive comments would be much appreciated. Ominous warnings are fine and all but for the most part, we're all big kids in here and we're not wholly ignorant of the risks associated with modifying our phones.

Can we talk about the phone, please?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
Here is dc-unlocker's list of supported models: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones

As you can see - Honor Note 8 is on the list, meaning at the cost of 4 euros we can unlock bootloader and flash any image to any partition. We need a dev to compile TWRP recovery, and that will get the ball rolling on other development, because custom recovery also means easy root. TWRP even offers to flash SuperSU on its own, if it detects unrooted device.

It's been a month and a half now since Chinese version release, so international version announcement should be coming in the next 2-6 weeks, I'd speculate. If past experience is of any indication, Huawei releases their devices internationally 3-6 months after China, depending on market and other factors.

I installed the app "DC Huawei Bootloader codes" which is from the same team and only requires a $.99 purchase to unlock. 10 minutes later i received an email and successfully unlocked my bootloader.

Hello ,

I've got it all working now.

Installed "Nova Launcher" and "True Phone Dialer" because the Note 8 Dialer is a piece of crap.

All my apps are working , it's fast and biiig , so I'm able to read every thing(I'm over 50).

Volte works too and sound quality is great.

Best phone for me so far.

The only thing I'm missing is an integrated QI-Receiver.

The extern one I have is loading only until 93% , so I ordered a new one from another

manufacturer.Hoping this one will work.

The second thing I'm looking for is a fall down Flip-Cover , because otherwise you can't reach

the fingerprint sensor on the back.
