After lot of struggle finally I found a list here for Honor 8 stock firmwares. But looks like still out of luck. My phone's build number is

FRD-L19C185B102

It's 4GB+64GB model, can you help?

Even Google can't find reference with this build number.

Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
U can flash with FRD-L09C185Bxxx its the same firmware, your phone will stay as L19 even if i flash with L09 firmware.

A friend of mine has a little trouble. He got a phone from a contest and it looks like it's a Chinese version still on EMUI3 and with the bootloader unlocked. Product # is "VAT-L09", I've been reading through some threads and I'm not completely sure, can he flash any recent XXX(FRD for example)-L09 stock ROM to update it? Thanks!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Try with FRD-L09C432BXXX find a full stock firmware. If it does not accept it u will get fail after checking the firmware..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmband64:
I've attempted to do this several times to update from B320 to B324 but it fails everytime. Are you able to tell me how to update? The OTA appears to have 3 files associated with it which I've listed below.

I am current on the 11/22 build of B320 on FRD-L14, and would like to upgrade to the latest OTA of the 12/8 build of B324.

The three files associated with this OTA file are as follows:

<vendorInfo name="common" subpath="" logfile="changelog.xml" package="update.zip"/>

<vendorInfo name="hw/usa" subpath="hw/usa" logfile="" package="update_hw_usa.zip"/>

<vendorInfo name="public" subpath="public" logfile="" package="update_data_public.zip"/>

Any ideas?

Tell me about it... I did try that very thing of converting the /data partition to F2FS following your post and was unable to reflash back to B162 after soft-bricking my phone. And it surely was a pain fixing it. Try to strike or delete that line from your post for those of us that like to read the whole threads like scavengers looking for answers.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alec_trikki:
Yes, it worked fortunately!

Thank you very much!

Now I'd like to ask: how to get update to Nougat version FRD-L19C636B360 from C636B130?

I only found 3 files but they are OTA files, not full, so I think they can't be used by "dload".

Do I need to root and flash these 3 files by TWRP or is there any other way to get this OTA update?

My phone, as told in former post, is international (global) version and I'm from Italy.

Thank you everybody in advance!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Nice to here it worked. U cant update a OTA manually u need full stock file. Can u check in your HiCare app if u have the update, most people got the update there. If u don get OTA u need a sim card from Asia region and put in the phone. I hade the same problem on my P9 that was C636 asia Cust.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alec_trikki:
And did you upgraded to Nougat using an Asian sim card?

What about firmware finder? does it work?

thanks again
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Firmware Finder wont work on OTA, u can try create a Huawei-Id in Asia location and search in HiCare app for update. With Asian simcard it should work, it worked foe me. Or u can try rebrand it to C432 EU cust, u need to unlock bootloader and install TWRP and root, u need oeminfo for L19C432 to do it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alec_trikki:
At the end I did rebrand to C432 and worked perfectly.

Now I have Nougat and work pretty good.

I don't know actually if battery drain is good or not in standby, I will know it only using...

Greetings friends, please your help

I have Honor 8 FRD-AL00 (bought from China through Aliexpress).

Once received (Ecuador, Latinamerica) and with initial configurations (google account, Wifi, etc) I went to "settings/updater" and donwloaded updates. (two updates found)

Now, my phone has FRD-L19C432B131 but the phone restarts and fails everytime. I went to Huawei support and they told me the problem is that FRD-AL00 dont have support outside China and reccomend me to find a rollback to initial version.

Dont know where to find that. Could you please help me?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] D3al:
Same problem here. FRD-AL00 (4Gb/32Gb) Chinese. I installed updates from settings / updater in Latin-america and it seems the update isnt the one that should be.

Actual update/firmware L19C432B131 (appear on phone info) / FRD-C900B131 (this last obtained with dc-unlocker). Constant restarts, cant open some apps, google settings dissapear.

Can someone told me how to rollback to a stable and compatible version? Or to upgrade to newest stable one?

It stops after 26mb download. Just freezes. Anyway when booting to recovery i get an error after 5% stating update failed. Didn't update anything. But i did start gmsinstaller which was installed on the phone. Could that be the cause of the error? Any tips on how to fix the recovery mode.

Upgrading to EMUI 5.0

Hi,

My Honor 8 has the following software:

Build number: FRD-L09C900B120

EMUI 4.1, Android 6

It is not possible to update via the update menu.

My goal is to install Lineage 14.1 Custom ROM but this requires EMUI 5.0.

Can I install a customization different from C900. No idea for which region this is.

(USING FIRMWARE FINDER OR SD CARD) can I upgrade directly to (EU version) FRD-L09C432B360? Or should I stick to B120??

Thanks.

Via FF you can flash B360, then update to B394 and finally flash any custom rom

I managed to update via Firmwarefinder.

It is now on EMUI 5.

The About phone menu is showing "Build number NRD90M test-keys"

Can't see the new SW version.

Next step would be to update towards to B394. However the update menu seems to have disappeared from the settings menu...

Please advise. Thank you.

Uhm... Try to use HiSuite or make a rollback to emui 4.1 and then update to 5 via dload mode
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrSheepSheep:
Hello,

I'm pretty sure my case was already taken care of in an earlier post, but I don't want to break things again on my phone so I'm asking for your help.

I tried to root my healthy EMUI 5 on Nougat. Bootloader unlocked, twrp loaded in, but SuperSU didn't make it. I did a wrong manipulation and I got stuck in a boot loop.

I achieved to fix it somehow, and I'm now in firmware FRD-L09C900B300.

But there are several issues:

No more clock, NFC, recorder, intelligent button, etc. apps. NFC is not even present in the settings, it's not working at all.

The system doesn't find any update. eRecovery doesn't work because it's unable to start wifi somehow.

I can dload a rollback package fine, but it keeps me in this version.

I tried to dload a big firmware package (3.3Gb) but it fails checking the package at 49% install progress.

I can't find any firmware corresponding to FRD-L09C900 in FirmwareFinder.

I did the mistake of not backing up my stock rom before because of an issue with twrp (mounting 'data' failed).

Any idea how I can get back to a stable firmware ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
C900B300 is the Rollback package Firmware to downgrade from Nougat to MM.

Now u need a full MM Firmware to downgrade. Was your phone on C432 EU Firmware before u flash it or any other Cust like C636 or C185?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrSheepSheep:
Thanks for replying !

The thing is, I don't know what firmware it was before. It was not a custom one for sure, and it's an EU phone, so it might be C432 I guess ?

Now I don't know which version to choose, any version that FF considers as "Approved for installation" works ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
If it is a EU phone it should be C432, i would test with B101 in FF. Thats a FULL firmware.

Already unlocked and rooted, just want flash stock recovery in order to do update B120.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
so, if you want to root again the phone after you have upgrade to B120 (at this point better B130) you must do first a TWRP backup including DATA partition....

once you have your backup saved and copied into external SD card or into your PC, you can proceed to fastboot flash the stock recovery... once done then copy B120 or B130 UPDATE.APP into external SD card /dload, then insert the SD card, then type * # * # 2846579 # * # * and select upgrade from SD card, then proceed.....

you will get phone upgraded, but with bootloader locked again..... At this point to re-root the phone you need first to unlock the phone again and this process will factory reset you phone.....

after factory reset, you need to flash TWRP again, root again, and then restore DATA partition to get original condition with upgraded phone

cheers
