I tested it now and it works, its a full stock firmware, place on sd card in dload folder and update by press volume up and down and power.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lukasz@puzder.com:
Thanks, at my work link doesn't work. I will try at home. If this firmware won't be right what is the risk of breaking the phone? If I had a chance to update some androids phone the process was easy.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
If it's not the correct firmware u will get a fail at 5% and it will not proceed the process. But it should be the correct firmware.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Roid17:
Sir, is this one can be use for FRD-L19C636B130 ?

or is it any available nougat full firmware update for it?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:

What model do u have, and what firmware?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:
Huawei Honor 8, in the section about phone model is VAT-L19, on the phone FRD-L19.

Bulid number VAT-L19C900B019-log

EMUI version 3.1, Android 5.

I would like to update it to 6 at least for now.

When I check for updates there is no any for this version.

I don't understand why I have two diffirent model name for one device ? :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
VAT-L19C900B019.log is a Developer firmware, i asume u got it as a gift from Huawei? Can u enter Developer Settings if u dail *#*#2846579#*#* and check Vendor and Country? Choose option 3 and then option 4.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:
Yes.. I find it in the section Network infomation query, Vendor Country Info > Vendor :hw, Country: normal
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Ok, when it says Country: normal it meens u can flash any Cust Firmware. U should download Firmware Finder in Play Store and install on the phone.

When that is done go in Settings on Firmware Finder and enable Use Proxy for install.

In upper left corner Tap to change modell and change to FRD-L19C432 and tap search in lower right corner.

Tap on FRD-L19C432B131 FullOTA-MF 1.956GB

Tap Send Firmware to Updater and install the addon and then follow the instructions on how to change Proxy on your wifi.

When that is done go to Updater in Settings of the phone and it will search for a new firmware and find it, DO NOT PRESS UPDATE.

I am not sure how it looks like in EMUI 3.1 but u should have a Menu Option in Updater where u can choose Download Latest Full Packege if so choose that.

When the update starts press Paus and go back to Wifi Settings and dissable Proxy Settings and then resume the upgrade.

That should fix it :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:
Thank you, I will try it later. I already installed Firmware Finder but it could not find my model so I quited. :)

It seems pretty easy. I will inform you about the results :D

Have a nice rest of day :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:
I tried two times. I think I made mistake first time because I obviously didn't clicked right button. There was not menu at the end so I clicked "download and install" that was only button i could clicked, but the proces stopped before finishing the download and I saw that something is wrong because I had more than 100% downloaded file and it wasn't finished yet.

Second time I done I think everything correctly I went out from updater when i was given that form and after chosing again update section i had a menu. The downloading lasts 4 hours and was completed on 100%. Device started to restart and on 2-3% I had a message "software instal failed, failed to check update package, please download the package again". Do you know what can be the problem? Maybe it got confused with all that downloaded files? Can I find all of them(if there is any), delete them and try again or you think that something else is problem here?

Now I am very intested to solve this so I hope that you can give me more advices. :) Thank you in advance.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
It's realy late now and about to go to bed.

U can try another solution.

Insted of Send Firmware to Updater choose to Download the files. When u dowload update.zip extract it, in the zip file there is a file called update.app.

Now create a folder in sd card and name it dload, put the file update.app in that folder.

Turn off the phone.

Hold volume up and down and press power, realese power when the phone starts to power up but dont realese the volume up and down.

The phone should enter upgrade menu and the update starts.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Did it work?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:
Hi I just finished with this updating now. Yes it worked, now I have Android 6, and EMUI 4.1! :victory: Thank you once again very much on your help! :D

Before this phone I had Android 2 on another phone 3 years so I this updating is for me really new thing. :)

I just installed A6 I know :D , but when I will get Android 7 as regular update throw updater? Or I must do the same thing?

If it is like that, how to know which file from Firmware Finder to Install?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
What Version do u have if u check Settings​ and About phone?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:
EMUI 4.1, Android 6.0, now is my model number FRD - L19, build number FRD-L19C900B131
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Ok, so it's still C900. Now this is where it gets a bit triky. U could try to upgrade to FRD-L19C432B381 FULLOTA-MF-PV . If B381 is not signed by Huawei u will get Fail when it try to install. Then u could try B380. It must be FULLOTA-MF-PV.

The problem when u have C900 is that u wont recive OTA to your phone, u could try to debrand it to C432 but to do so u need to unlock bootloader and install TWRP and root the phone.

U can use FunkyHuawei that is a paid service to rebrand. And u can use SrkTool to flash TWRP and root.

Beware i cant garantue that it will work to upgrade to Nougat with C900, there are reports that some loose some functions after the update and the Version shows as NRD90M Test-key because they did not choose to Download latest full package when they upgraded with Firmware Finder.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jelena17:
So I am not sure that I understood well - because I have C900 I cant get OTA update so I must update it manualy, there is no update for C900 so I must change it to C432, and if I achive that it is not garanted that it will work like it should? Is this for OTA and C900 situation for now or it they will make this easier this in the future,.so I must only wait? :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
With C900 u will not recive OTA u must update manually allways. U can try to install Nougat from C432 manually, will it work i am not 100% sure?

Or u can debrand it to C432 but then u need oeminfo from L19C432 if u can find it, maby it works with oeminfo from L09C432?

Or go to FunkyHuawei and ask in the forum there if it is possible to debrand with the method they use?

If u debrand to C432 u will get OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lukasz@puzder.com:
Jelena17 I have the same situation. I get my Honor 8 from Huawei as a gift before premiere and at first there was a VAT-L19C900B019-log system with Android 5. Thanks to help I have found here I was able to update it to FRD-L19C900B131 with Android 6 but there were no other updates.

My biggest problem is with messaging app (default to sms). Even thought I'm using Textra (stock app had terrible mms quality, very grainy) the stock app is using a lots of internet and battery. So I thought I will update to Android 7. I know that official version is FRD-L19C432BXXX.

I was trying to make an update from a fullota version via dload folder on sd card but with no luck. What works (but not works) was to use Frimware finder and it's in-app proxy settings to cheat stock update center. Thanks to that I thought I'm updating to C432B360 but instead I get NRD90m test key version without even keyboard. Luckyly thanks to rollback from Huawei paige I was able to get back where I've started with C900B131.

Today I went to sevices center and they have checked in system my phone. The situation even for them is very unusual. They have this phone in system but without varanty (last year it had a varanty till may 2018). Second thing is that there is no common system attachet to this phone so they cannot repair it on varanty cause it shouldn't be on market and even if they will agree to accept and make a new instalation of C432BXXX system they don't know what system it should be.

Plus is that they will try to find out what they can do about this and how to bypass this situation and install fresh new system. Finger crossed :) .

But if they will not be able to help me can U guys tell me how (easy and safe) change C900 to C432 for this L19?

Thanks.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Reactiv:
Been running my Axon on and off for a week (not yet my daily driver due to being lazy with backing up my old phone)... Anyway one thing I have noticed is that the phone seems to be always running at over 50% RAM usage. If I launch one app - or anything else - and then clear all it will revert to running at a variable 1.6 to 2GB of 'available RAM.

Is this normal?

A picture often helps! Sorry that it links off to PhotoBucket - I don't know how to get it to launch in the XDA image window.

Message

Axon 7

Galaxy S3 for comparison

Since 4GB is supposed to be 'wayyy' more than enough (as reviews on the OnePlus3 naysayers would have me believe) I don't expect to have an out of the box phone running at more than 50% RAM usage - this doesn't make sense to my non-technical self. On my i9300 (Galaxy S3) I run CyanogenMod 13 and that OS runs at 260MB of RAM vs 850MB on the Axon! Can someone explain?

I'm running the B3 update but had this before I applied it.

I am having some other connectivity issues and am considering sending this unit back for exchange. It's just hard to tell when I don't know what 'normal' is for this phone.

I want to love this phone. I just need it to love me!

Thanks guys! :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] keessonnema:
I need to restart my Axon 7 (A2017G) every two days or I will get a laggy UI, it's a ram problem too. So we're probably in the same boat. I hope they'll fix it in the next update (which comes after the bootloader unlock thingy if I'm right?)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
Yes bootloader unlock is being currently worked on, then an update after that.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djona12:
RAM management in Android isn't about a predefined amount. You're using way more with the Axon 7 than the S3 because there is way more available. If it's there why not use it to get a better experience ?

Altyough, i haven't noticed this laggy ui issue...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
I agree with this MiFavor is crap when it runs for a longer time. I gets laggy on the second day. One has to reboot to get a smooth system again.

While on my old phone with CM and 4GB Ram it stays blazing fast after a week without reboot.

We can only hope CM isn't to far away.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Reactiv:
So, reading between the lines here, you guys. Think it's software rather than hardware?

I'm just building an evidence base to warrant an exchange. Although the prospect of a two month wait leaves me reluctant.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] keessonnema:
It sure is software. 4gb ram is more than enough. Really. It's just that MIfavor likes ram and eats it like chocolate.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Reactiv:
I guess what I really was getting at is how likely is it that the physical RAM is faulty rather than the software being RAM hungry. I ask as it seems my phone is a bit flaky in a few areas and I wonder if it's just like a b-grade item.

But take all the points on board that most likely software. How would I be able to rule out any physical RAM antics?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
Look at the chipset. It's an snapdragon 820 which specifies the use of LPDDR4 dual channel.

OEM's usually receive a list of tested and recommended RAM chips from the chipset manufacturer.

No OEM who's right in their mind is going to use cheap RAM for a device that needs to survive at least 3 years of usage. Also less likely is that low powered ram is going to become faulty in a time frame under 10 years.

I plan and build enterprise servers on daily basis. I can a sure you it's software RAM management that is the issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Reactiv:
Okay cool. Thanks for the clarification.

One technical issue down just two others to resolve!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ChiDi9901:
Sorry for digging the grave, but all I want to say is that even today my Axon 7 with Android Nougat is having memory leak after 2 to 3 days usage. I can't switch between apps properly without them crashing and having to restart completely. But there is good news. According to somebody from ZTE, when the Axon 7 is getting Android 8 (Oreo), though only the US model has been mentioned, the MiFavor is going to be removed and the OS is going to be more or less stock-ish. Which would also mean that hopefully the memeory leakage will be almost gone. Also, hopefully, the EU model will get the same experience. 4GB RAM and memory leak is a bad joke.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ramnkc:
i used to have the same issues and what i did is i switched to other launcher instead of using MiFavor... and it solved me lag features and i probably need to reboot my phone once a while when i got unresponsive / slow phone wake... then it back to normal again. But again its still doesn't solve my phone battery drain issue... my phone only can last me 6am to 10pm with normal usage (surfing internet, wifi, youtube, emails, whatsapp and reading novels... no bluetooth and no gaming and no song played).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
I'm currently using Lawnchair Launcher and even with Lawnfeed plugin allowing the Google Now page from the left, my phone is very responsive and rarely needs a restart. Appcrash is quite rare.

I recommend Lawnchair if you would like a functional and close to stock (but improved) experience.

I used to use Smart Launcher Pro but that started getting a bit fat, as most apps do over time. Feature bloat always slows them down as they get developed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Have you tried completely reinstalling the system? It fixed my drain and also some random reboots that I couldn't get rid of even by updating. Just install Lineage (don't forget abt the universal bootloader and modem), then boot it up and use it a couple minutes (if you want, you can check if you have that same battery drain in Lineage), then follow a guide to go back to stock (if A2017G, I made one; if A2017U, you can use DrakenFX's back to stock files).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Spaghetticus:
Hi everyone. I'm thinking about flashing Superman ROM on my SM-G935F S7 Edge.

My stock firmware indicates that my baseband version is G935FXXU1BPHJ. The Superman ROM, on the other hand, uses G935FXXU1BPIF.

My question is the following: If I were to flash Superman on my phone, would this baseband difference affect my phone? Would radios fail to work or would I suffer from any other problems?

I'm using the phone in South America (Argentina) and the stock firmware works just fine, since this is the international variant of the phone. I am not that savvy when it comes to Android yet, since I'm pretty new to the platform.

Thanks.

Small p.s. questions: Is there anything in particular I need to disable before flashing a rom? Some security measures?

Does anyone have any issues recording videos? I'm getting popping sounds occasionally, not all the time at the start of video recording for like a second. I also get frame rate stutter usually at the beginning of video recording. It's most noticeable at 4k and 1080p 60fps. I've tried different U3 micro SD cards, samsung pro and Sandusky extreme pro, and same results. Internal storage too. I can't find a way to reliably record videos. Do I need to factory reset? If so that's major annoying. Wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing something similar. Thanks guys.

The issue is also more apparent when there's bad reception as well? It happens in good too but less frequent. Alsmost to the point I'm ready to give up on this phone. Again, doesn't happen consistently but it has to be either hw or sw fault. Most likely sw.
