Rooted Update

This worked for me when I tried it.

****

000. Update ROOTED HHN8 to B027 without phone reset of data/storage.

(Bootloader will remain unlocked, phone will need re-rooting).

00. B027 Modified Official Firmware.

(Omitted: Data Traffic Management, Hi-Cloud, Permission Manager-Phone Manager, some Chinese apps.

A few added Chinese apps can be deleted with MyBackup Pro).

01. Make a full twrp or FlashFire nandroid backup (just in case....)

02. Check that...

(a) the Huawei Win_driver and adm software are installed on your PC.

https://mega.nz/#F!NRtSCQYC!Sk4auDB2gA1sxlAPqnwyTA

(b) USB debugging is ON. (First revoke previous USB debugging authorizations).

03. Download B027 firmware from here (preferably in Chrome)...

https://mega.nz/#!VRN2AICD!HqTY2ai1XAl-bOoCFW_YfBoyhOr6GhoiWXL68l7QNhg

04. Extract folder contents.

05. Connect phone to PC (listen for the 'ping' connecting sound and approve connection).

06. Open the extracted folder and bring up/open command prompt (shift + right click).

07. Put phone in bootloader mode (adb reboot bootloader).

08. Now left click on this batch file in the folder -- flash_all_except_data_storage.bat --

09. >>>> (NB: Clicking on the wrong file will wipe your data/storage !!!). <<<<

10. After flash is finished, phone will auto-reboot into 'optimizing' and then full reboot.

11. Check that your system is updated to B027 (Settings: about phone).

12. Re-flash twrp and re-root.

https://mega.nz/#F!odFB0YLT!4lV_Ltj8A2t4xPo7n0Zt6A

13. Done!

I would love to know what kind of protection comes with that screen, no mention of Gorilla glass or anything anywhere
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
You Can Lock your Bootloader easy.

I am on B027 and Go Back to B017 with the dload Methode.

After the Downgrade make a Factory Reset and the Bootloader is "Locked",Not Relocked

It is either GG3 or 4. It's posted as both on a few websites and some ppl claim to have asked Honor directly and received the same answers. It would be nice to have a definitive answer but at least we know that it has some type of GG on it which is good.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Schmacko:
Thanks mate, that is reassuring to know. The lack on knowing whether it had screen protection or not was putting me off getting it.

Is there a list of lock screen styles that supports notifications

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
If I am recalling this correctly from previous read material, the magazine style lock screen is the only one that supports lock screen notifications as of now... Hopefully, that changes with EMUI 5.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kalinskym:
I have completely broken notifications on lockscreen before it worked. Now it doesn't. I have enabled all notification options for magazine screen lock and restarted my Huawei Honor Note 8. I have resorted to using Microsoft Next lockscreen with fingerprint scanner but now I have two lockscreens. Just perfect!

I am not sure what to do at this point.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
tbh... the lock screen notifications system utilized in EMUI 4.1 is terrible and a downgrade from stock Android. There is no way to dismiss a notification from the lock screen. You can only swipe to open the app. If you really want to use lock screen notifications, in my opinion, you are better off using a 3rd party app.

To phone users: I have found some disturbing facts at chineese reviews(Google translator).1) camera images too soft when zoom to 100% and lack of detail (grass, trees). 2.) poor quality display (inaccurate colors, low brightness, colors change when change brightness).Could you please comment it and post somewhere camera images at 100% size?﻿

Can anyone confirm if it's true ?

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balane:
All of those nougat upgrade pages are 100% scams. In order to download any of the ROM files (Which are always broken into three parts.), on every single one of these pages, requires you to go through and fill out a bunch of surveys and do all sorts of things. These tasks are unending and there is no ROM at the end to download. They simply want to you to keep going as long as you're willing while they rack up reference credit. Never download anything or follow any advice on web sites that aren't known, credible Android information sources.

Good morning, I made the first charge of honor note 8.

From 2% to 100% is a charging capacity of about 2500 mah

The original battery should be of 4500 mah, some of you have tried to measure the real capacity?

It really seems too much difference.

Any note 8 users using it in the USA with T-Mobile?? If so, how's it working?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balane:
I'm using mine with T-Mobile, so far just in the Seattle area which is a solid network for them. I get a reliable enhanced HSPA connection which sees anywhere from 5-15mb download speeds and 3-6mb up. Voice calls are always great, haven't dropped a connection yet. This is all about what I was hoping for so I'm certainly not disappointed. I'm traveling to the midwest here in a few days so we'll see how things go in another city. Any negatives suffered by not having 4G are far more than made up for by using such a fabulous device. I'm thrilled every time the display pops on.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] goeybones:
the only problem with huawei and honor is the push notifications problems, when an app is closed we will not receive any notifications at all, only some app can give push notification even the apps is closed (WA, facebook, only these two apps gives notifications eventhough we closed it), so in order to get push notifications off all apps is we have to opens it all, and i tried all tricks and tips about how to make push notifications works and the results is nothings of it do somethings on my device (but in some cases the tricks and tips do works on some devices, but not on my honor note 8), and after doing research of this problems, actually this is the bug on EMUI 4.1, so i cross my fingers they gonna fix this problem on EMUI 5.0, that gonna rolling this january via ota update...

moving apps to sd card

I have this Huawei honor note 8 and want to know if you happen to know how to move apps to the installed sd card. I went to advanced settings + storage where it shows a box and within the box area it has the name of my sd card and 2 spots to check one says internal storage and the other says sd card, when I tap the sd card the phone request a re-set which I did, however, once the phone came back up and I reviewed a few of my installed apps it still reads internal storage rather than external storage. So what am I doing wrong here, please help me. thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balane:
My guess is that it won't move previously installed applications, only ones you install after that setting was changed.

huawei honor note 8

​

I purchase this Huawei honor note 8 and can tell you now, it will NOT work with Verizon in fact some sites that's selling this phone will indicate that this phone is primarily suited for AT&T or T-MOBILE. I myself have at&t pay as you go plan where at 45.00 per month you get unlimited everything and this phone picks up at&t and is extremely fast. Being an international phone it gives you H+ which is just as fast as our 4G here. This phone according to Huawei they haven't made a decision as yet to have this phone shipped to usa. This is an UNLOCKED phone and verizon isn't a part of that at all. I'm loving this phone and all it has to offer I got it from amazon, good luck.

Anyone running kangvip rom that uses gear watch been able to get the Samsung gear app to connect to the watch. I've tried every other rom and stock rom and works and connects just fine but with the kangvip rom the gear app just starts to connect to the watch and the app closes, has anyone been able to find a way to fix this. I've tried almost everything, with a no go

I can not lock the data roaming, I do not find the option.

It would, at the exchange operator, lock the data.

I tried to block the transmission service provider automatically, but also the phone is roaming when there is coverage with my default provider.

Has anyone found a solution?

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balane:
My phone is not rooted and I suspended many Huawei system apps including Phone Manager using debloater. It worked perfectly for me.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Thanks didn't know about that one :) What other packages did you remove?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
Thanks for that. I am trying to get the debloater to recognise the Note 8, but not happening.

Have set the USB debugging in developers options obviously.

Which driver did you use? cant see one for this phone in the rootjunky website.

Without any notifications, no matter how good the hardware, its only half a phone.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balane:
I never installed any driver on my PC. Whatever was left over on there from my Nexus 6 simply worked with no fuss. I plugged in the phone, turned on USB Debugging and Debloater found the device immediately. I wish I had more detail to give you but not once did I actively seek out a Windows driver for my HN8. Notifications function perfectly now so good luck. No longer a hint of Huawei on my phone, I suspended quite a bit.

ADDENDUM: Strike that, I did download and install the latest copy of HiSuite Version 5.0.1.300_OVE to my Windows 10 PC. I can only guess the drivers used in that install allowed Debloater to function for me.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
Yes you were correct, After installing HiSuite, Debloater can now read the packages installed, however didn't see anything called Phone manager.

Would you be kind enough to state the exact file that corresponds to Phone manager/ notifications fix.

Thanks

It's like peeling the layers of an onion...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balane:
I removed quite a few so I can't remember what was what since they're out of my mind. Try HILINK. I believe that was the one for phone manager.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
I try to block app phone manager because I saw that by setting background execution of certain applications and locking them, closing the recent apps are also finished blocked applications and not remain running (see google maps, my data manager, total call recorder, etc.)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
Did a bit of googling, appears HILINK is a data management app so not the one of interest:

http://www.huawei.com/minisite/mobilewifiapp/mobilewifiappen/

However looks like HwSystemManager.apk is the Phone Manager app.

I'll try disabling it later to see if it has the desired result.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
Disabled phone manager using titanium backup and now the third-party (my data manager applications, google maps, total recall, etc.) remain in effect even if I remove them from the recents task.

Phone manager also closed the protected applications, when I removed from recents task.

Has anyone had the same problem and solved?

Why phone manager also closes the protected applications and always-on notification icon?

Is there an app that the third-party app actually leave active even after closing the recents task?

I would like to continue using phone manager because it has many other useful options
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
I take it your phone is rooted?

Having checked all the youtube videos/websites and tried everything (protecting apps/ auto start/ enabling all notifications), I still cant get notifications.

Must be a bug in either the version of the phone manager installed on this phone or EMUI 4.1

Hoping Huawei come up with an update soon to fix this glaring mistake. As the saying goes "Knowledge is power" and without those darn notifications, you are an ignorant fool in todays connected world.

In the meantime on a mission to remove phone manager which is proving elusive so far. (Don't want to root the device)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Yes thats the one :)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
Thanks [MENTION=5500321]WhySoSeriousJoKer[/MENTION], good to get confirmation, will give it a go in the evening.

By the way, which app have you got running in the screenshot?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
I have the phone with root.

My problem, as well as notifications, is that phone manager closes applications, even the protected ones! Should I leave them increasingly active in recents task.

You can try if you also have this problem?

Tried to install my data manager and see if removing the app from the recents task will also leverage the icon in the status bar

Thank you

and this works,no Problems with notification
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
Thanks for the reply.

My problem is not the notifications but the closing applications when they are deleted from the recents task.

However I try to put the third party apps in system.

Maybe I could use Titanium Backup that has this feature, or there might be problems?

If I wanted to move google maps should copy the root leaving the same name:

com.google.android.apps.maps-1 by granting the relevant permits

in the root folder you just created to copy:

base.apk file granting the relevant permits

oat folder allowing its permissions

I must also copy the lib folder, or you do not need?

Hi,

unfortunately that option only blocks the international data roaming.

I have the problem of national roaming with operator 3 that goes roaming on tim.

I tried to block roaming through apn.

I have to check the proper functioning.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gn0s1s:
Oh, that's interesting, sounds more like an internal carrier agreement issue that is native to the sim? In Canada here, despite having many local carriers with roam agreements, disabling the international roaming feature stops carrier switching for me.

Could you try in mobile settings to force the carrier choice instead of leaving it automatic?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
If I force the telephone operator, in many areas I would be found out and the phone without a net.

I would not be reached.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

If I wanted to copy other apps in system/app, I have to copy the entire folder, leaving even the original folder in data/app or do I move from data/app in folder system/app then deleting the original folder in data/app?

Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gn0s1s:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't that what roaming is... Switching to another carrier when your home/root carrier doesn't have a signal. It sounded from your description that this was happening in area's where your home carrier had signal, but switched to another provider and caused unwanted roaming charges...

If you lock your phone to your carrier and disable the roaming feature...then this should alleviate that problem..

So I'm unclear on exactly what the end goal is... if you are out of service in some then you need roaming... So you are trying to stop roaming then when your carrier appears to be available.. to which that is up to I think carrier set standards on quality.. but if it is phone based it is most likely an algorithm we cannot edit, unless you modified the blobs at the hex level etc...

Essentially you can lock your phone to your carrier to stop accidental switching and have to manually check to see if out of service and then enable roaming at that point... or i guess put up with some accidental carrier handovers but have the convenience of full coverage.
