[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] evilpaul13:
The wrong EMUI and Android version is a thing Huawei does in beta releases. The P9 Nougat leak back in July or August had "EMUI 3.1" and I forget which version of Android.

edit: The reworked notification shade and task switcher and Doze on the Go are what I'm most looking forward to in Nougat.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
I see you are using the L04 version. Do you know how to revert back to stock 6.0? I'd like to test that rom. My phone is not rooted. I'm waiting for something worthy to unlock the bootloader and root.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
And quick reply at least for me. I really got use to it on Blackberry and iOS.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Does the camera work? On the P9 beta there is no camera app.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

People who flashed beta Android 7 on P9 said that they could downgrade to 6.0 with stock firmware but i dont know if it will work the same with Honor 8?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Camera works? Also could you update us once bt is working? Kinda need it for android wear.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yeah camera works. I can take pictures and record videos without any problems.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Any quality improvement?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
Any new feauture or settings?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
About the camera I'm not sure. I don't have q really good eye to see the differences between photos lol... And new features would be the ones in Emui 5 like Twin app, There's quick reply now...it's basically the same except it has the new Emui 5 and Android Nougat features and that's it.

One thing I can't find though is the smart button feature where you can click the fingerprint sensor or hold it and it takes to you to an app or a shortcut...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yeah I don't how to return to 6.0 lol.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
Flashing the factory recovery?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
Hopefully you did a back up of the stock rom in recovery so you can restore that.

Or you will have to flash the stock recovery then the official rom for your device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
I flashed the stock recovery, then I went to install the official rom but it fails :/ dang...I don't know what too do now. Help

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Ok after about an hour of freaking out. I decided to just go back to the Nougat beta. I extracted the System and boot img's from the beta and flashed those. Since the 6.0 system image wouldn't flash. I guess I'll stay on this beta until the official beta images come out, so i can flash those :/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
At least thank you for trying it out an telling your first impressions. Hopefully your problem will be solved.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yeah no problem. I just need to find the latest B150 firmware for the L04, otherwise I won't be able to go back.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Have u tried Extract boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and cust.img with the HuaweiUpateExtractor and flash with adb fastboot?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yes I did that with this firmware but it's B122 and I was on B150 before flashing the Beta. I was able to flash the recovery and boot img, but cust and system failed.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Cool i'll make a twrp flashable zip for this nougat firmware ^^

Argh doesn't boot for my device (probably because I have 09) version

edit found the issue, the system.img doesn't contain all files since huawei has split up it to PRODUCT.img and VENDOR.img so have to extract thus :P

as we don't have VENDOR partition (at least not on M FRD-L09) version it fails to flash on twrp
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It's said they fake this due to the fact that it's to prevent leaks. Therefor it says 3.1

About the downgrade you might be able to downgrade trough twrp. I could fix a zip for downgrade since all files related to downgrade can be fixed to be flashable with twrp

The only issue I face with the nougat zip file is that it gets stuck after the warning screen. Probably because of lack of files
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Does it require any transitional package to roll back to Marshmallow? It wouldn't be the first of Huawei.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yea! If you could make me a zip file I could try to flash it to get back to Marshmallow. Thanks if you do [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION]
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
i'll do soon trying to get the nougat zip working atm =) it's not giving me all files i want atm ^
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Ok, sounds good! I really appreciate it. Thank you!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
could you try pull the system and boot from nougat?

using

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img

dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

or someone else?

it seems like i can't get the vendor correctly, thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
I'll try in a bit. I haven't rooted yet. I also have to reinstall TWRP for some reason I don't have it installed... In about 2 hours I'll be back at my computer to reinstall TWRP
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Hmm that's weird, I can't seem to be able to boot into TWRP. I flashed it successfully with fastboot via the bootloader but I can't boot into TWRP :confused:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Can someone test if this Beta test apk for P9 works on Honor 8, some people with P9 has recived a Beta test apk for EMUI 5 to join to be a beta tester.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
Seems to work, opened and signed up to the UK beta for the FRD-L09.

This has been leaked early, so tred with caution using the app, wouldn't want Honor/Hauwei to pull the Beta for the sake of a few days wait.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Nice :good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
So actually with this app can you officially sign to the Honor 8 beta test before even they open up in europe?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
The test doesn't go live for a couple weeks, the app shouldn't be available apparently, looks like someone has shared it a little early.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
Is it known what happens if you apply here? Does it count (so you might participate in) or it is better to wait for something official in Europe?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Europe settings are different. I would wait.

Calm down ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
Nothing is known, probably be best to wait, it's not going to be long anyway now, and no point ruining it before it starts.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
I would agree and and actually I did not download it just wanted to ask for surely because once I had a bad experience where it was possible to apply before the advertised starting date. And there was no slots left till the actual date.

I know this is most likely a different case :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
I may have jumped the gun a bit, will wait and see now I guess.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Yeah, might even brick, although low chance of happening.

If it's official, you're part of beta program and something goes wrong, at least you're covered for accidents or bricks.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
Nothing downloaded yet, but the sign up may be a bit early, hopefully won't effect my phone's eligibility for testing it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
What ? uk only ?

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

Hmm then twrp isn't available for n.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

Usually beta doesn't brick since they're tested to the state so it "shouldn't" brick in any way.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Yeah, the problem is the "shouldn't".
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TurasPl:
Poland - Black Honor 8 not branded. Just got 131 over OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
Than it means Eastern Europe started to get it which is nice.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Started to get what? N?

If so we should try capture beta ota before flash

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

Any firmware could damage phone. Even stock one.

I remember Samsung had a brick firmware which was official and stable. But it was able to hard brick your phone. It was mentioned in the leaked firmware as well but Samsung didn't fix it until a while after official had rolled out
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Or LG's reboots.

Is N beta already rolling out for 09 models in Europe?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
No, but HonorUK are announcing something today apparently.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
B131 :) Usually the updates rolls out in Western European countries first than the Eastern ones in several waves.

You can see this pattern in the N beta applications as well it was comfirmed to the UK and France for example.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
And that's m?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
Yes it is, my phone updated last week to it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I could try to get twrp working. But I want to see if we can get N rooted. There might be a way if we're lucky. I just need to get stock recovery for M :) or i could try trough recovery2
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Be patient. Huawei is tuning some bugs before the major release.

I just don't know about beta release.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
[MENTION=4682893]Gus194[/MENTION] could you try use fastboot flash to downgrade?

Like this

fastboot flash system system.img

[ reset device ]

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

[ reset device ]

Code:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

[ reset device ]

Code:

fastboot flash cust cust.img

You must do this in this order or it won't downgrade.

Then try root the firmware and flash twrp as SECOND recovery using

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery

2

And if you use adb

Do adb shell

Su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery

2

And hope it won't patch recovery2 after update
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marky33:
UK 131 OTA downloading now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yeah I could try in a bit. But what firmware would I be flashing? The Marshmallow firmware right? The thing is when I tried to flash the Marshmallow system image it would fail and wouldn't flash. I could try again but I don't think it would work. Same thing with the cust image, it would fail also and not flash.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Oh yeah that could be due to re partition of the system. ? I saw vendor image is being added and the size of image (uncompressed) is 2.1Gb which is strange since I believe it should be around 2.5+
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yeah so I don't know what else to do. Can you try to see if you can get TWRP to work? Thanks for helping me though :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
I've installed it into my FRD-L04 but it fails to login after agreeing on the terms.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
It's gone live Today in the UK for beta sign up, which is why 131 is now available on OTA.

I'm ok with the beta thankfully, so fingers crossed I'll be in the first batch as I signed up last night.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Could you tell what firmware you have?

So I could see if I'll get it too?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
I'm on the latest 131 firmware which is needed for the Beta, can't be rooted, have any recovery other than stock and you can't have an unlocked bootloader.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
you could try http://www74.zippyshare.com/v/IDLAx47D/file.html

or

i can't find dtb image but idk if it exists on huawei it says on google its qualcom DTB but i've seen it on samsung as well

It might not work. I can't boot it. But then if I apply any changes to let's say boot it'll fail. But recovery2 worked

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Wow no unlocked bootloader you could re lock it though?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
So I flash those with the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Works with fastboot as well. Tried it. If none of these work well then I don't know it might be my tool that breaks something
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
I would have thought so, haven't done mine, but u guess using DCunlocker it should have the option to re lock.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It would re lock if you update right?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
I'm not sure, I think for it to work it has to be locked before it will download.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Is it the stock recovery or TWRP?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Twrp with stock n kernel

And se linux boot set to permissive

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

Yes I mean if you update from let's say older version to a newer it'll be re locked at least it's what I heard
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Alright, thank you so much! I'll try and flash it in a bit!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
What is this? :laugh:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
GREAT! i got TWRP running with Nougat :D!

Grab it http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/8kD9rRK8/file.html

(Note) SDCARD isn't recognized!

DATA can't be mounted neither can cust, settings isn't saved and more

This is just a fast "port" i haven't made any more changes then extracting kernel from stock and replaced it with this,
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Oh my god thank you. Hopefully I can downgrade now... Lol I just need a Marshmallow zip...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
Honestly I do prefer the two sided notification center and settings menu in EMUI 4.1. I guess now I am the minority and have to see in real life how that cards work at the bottom but I would not mind if there were a setting for this.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
The card is at the top unless your drag the notification tray down fully, I can't wait for it to officially come via ota update in a couple weeks.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
Right I forgot about it. However how the smart functions with the fingerprint reader will work? Like do you have to swipe down twice to get to the settings? Or just a simple one but it pulls down the settings as well?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
Not sure on that one, don't think the smart functions are working in the Beta yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
yes that one works as well
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Wow this looks awesome. :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
May I ask how exactly it works? What happens when you swipe down? (only notifications or settings as well?).

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Never faced that settings swipe down twice. But swipe functions works well about the other I never had it on mm or I never used it:)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
(It never had swiping down twice it was my "imagination" how it could work on 7). I was just curious what happens exactly when you swipe down. Does it show the settings as well or just the notifications on android 7?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You can see https://youtu.be/cKPNZ6Ccxdw

I have busybox working at least but not su :/

Also why cust fails is due to it being resized or not flashed
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
well i was close to nearly mess up my device totally (i made a huge mistake) while i flashed a bad data partition (luckily if i flashed cust partition) from 6.0 it fixed my data storage (and even correct size) so i ain't mad over it :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
That's when I stop messing around with experiments and just let it rest.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Why if you don't try you won't know how to fix it later if it'd happen later,

I've fixed it and it wasn't too hard either, just that i didn't know what the fastboot for data was but it was userdata. if i knew that i'd fix it in seconds :P

i ain't the one that say oh i won't continue with this project. because i want to get things working specially data partition on TWRP with nougat so i won't stop trying ^
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Well I'm still trying to get back to Marshmallow lol. I'll probably just flash NCSROM and stop trying to get back to the stock firmware.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well unless we can't restore cust well have a hard time to downgrade [emoji14]
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Lol hopefully Honor releases the Nougat beta soon with everything working. And also hopefully the fully working firmware is leaked also so I can have Bluetooth working again lol
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Full firmware might not be leaked but I'd assume beta version would have Bluetooth working
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Hmmm hopefully they fix the notifications also. I really hate how much they modified the notifications.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
This is why we need to register through the Beta app, that way we can report issues that need to be fixed.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
What Beta app? I tried to install one that was posted a couple pages ago but it wouldn't let me.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
That one yeah, worked ok for me, HonorUk also posted it on there twitter might be worth while trying from that, if using Chrome make sure data saving it turned off as it sometimes shrinks the file a bit.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
What is the issue with the notifications? You mean the new notification system in the Nougat or the Huawei messed up something?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Nope, it's weird since I can't find another app named Beta...

Well I'm not sure if it's new to EMUI but it doesn't show your notifications in the Notification Bar, it just shows a number of how many notifications you have. It's kind of annoying. Also when I'm playing Spotify and I'm on my lock screen it doesn't show the music controls like in Marshmallow.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
It is new to EMUI in Marsmallow you have the option to hide them (so there will be 3 dots is you have anything) or showing them but no numbers.

Personally I hope that they won't change it like you described it and they will fix/change it. (and yes, spotify is an "old" issue I'm not sure whose responibility is that.)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yeah hopefully because it's really annoying not being able to see what apps have notifications through the status bar. Another thing is in WhatsApp when you receive 2 or more messagea from one person you can't see the first message, only the last one that they sent. I don't like going into WhatsApp just to see the message but yeah hopefully they fix that.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
It is like that on MM with the Messages app and messenger (lite but if I remember well with the normal as well). Could you set it differently in MM? Or how could you see all the messages in the notification centre on EMUI 4.1?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
I remember that with WhatsApp notifications I could see all the messages at the same time. Now I can only see the most recent one
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Ah i see why I can't mount data in twrp. Forgot n uses encryption by default ? there might be a "way around" to get supersu working. If lucky ?
