[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Hi guys. I got my honor 8 on Monday and whilst very impressed with the phone it still had the old EMUI 4.1 on it.

I did the same as alot of you and put in for the beta N program.

I got this, this morning and what a difference !

I tried to save the update so I could put it in here but it wouldn't let me and it was massive update ( 2+ GB )

When the next updates come through is it worth me saving it to share ?

If so anybody have any ideas how ?

John

Does anyone who has upgraded to the EMUI 5.0 Beta (using TWRP method) experiencing slow charging using the stock fast charger? I plugged in mine and although the phone recognised it as Fast Charging (as displayed on the lockscreen), I noticed that it took much longer (almost 1 hour) to charge from 25% to 100%. TIA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xontec:
I would say thats normal. From 1℅ to around 80℅ it maybe takes so ~30 min. And from 80℅-100℅ it takes much longer! :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
Just to clarify further, it took 2 hours to charge from 25% to 100%. That seems longer than I what it used take on EMUI 4.1.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xontec:
Oh sorry i read too fast. Mhm ok. Maybe let it comeback in a cycle? You charged for the first time after flashing ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
That was the 2nd time but I did not pay attention to the charging time during the 1st charging cycle. Will monitor it again during the 3rd charge cycle. How long does it take yours to charge fully?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xontec:
Maybe it changes keep a eye on it. Mine takes about 1 h 30 to 1h 40 i think. Maybe less i charge it in the night without Data Connection and wlan.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
You have which model? FRD-L09?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Yes mate that's the model. The update has changed the phone alot. My flat mate has got the new pixel and after the update my phone of running alot better than his.

I think we all made a good choice getting this Honor 8.

If it will help for me to try save the updates then I will do all i can

I like this forum alot

I've convert my L09C636 to L09C432, and currently on FRD-L09C432B120. How can I upgrade to EMUI 5 Nougat? I've tried OTA via twrp FRD-L09C432B130 but failed, also tried OTA via twrp FRD-L09C432B316 also failed. What's the proper way to upgrade to EMUI 5 Android 7? I've read all previous post/pages, still not understands.. Please

edit:

Succes, but when reboot it just bootloop and wont enter. please help. how to recover? I cant enter any mode
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
How did u flash it? N is getting really annoying. Cant fix root. Closest i got to is the damn error software failure . At least we have a broken twrp
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
I was on nougat. I downgraded to marshmallow and rooted the phone. Im happy. I can enjoy custom boot animation, xposed modules, ad away, Bluetooth and NFC, etc... When nougat is polished I will go back. In the mean time I'll stick to 6.0
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
N is working great but twrp isn't don't know if it fails due to encryption or anything else.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
A main reason to go back was the Bluetooth issues. I have so many devices that uses Bluetooth
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Only problem here is Camera but that's my fault
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
I never got Bluetooth to work. Dont know what I'm missing
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have a system image that got all that stuff working. But for now I'll wait to share until I fix camera
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
For frd-l04?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hmm I believe no . Can be fixed though it should work product partition contains info about it
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
Thanks for the detailed information from your off state charge cycle. Regarding the battery life, I experience very bad battery drain overnight (not using the phone) of ~ 1%/hour. During the day, with my normal usage (and no gaming) the battery drain seems OK. The way I see it, the phone is not able to go to Doze mode overnight as I observed the System OS is keeping the phone awake almost all the time even when the screen is turned off.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
After changing my oem info, i flashed the c432 M by dload, success,then unlock bootloader, install twrp, flashed c432 1st built N ota. all working fine. then now i cant enter my device at all. boot loop.

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

how can i put something when i cant enter the phone? i only can enter fastboot
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
Okay superb problem here [MENTION=7824497]Rommco05[/MENTION] [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION]

.

i can only enter fastboot, now my batteries dead, i've charge it just keep boot loop and wont properly charged. plugged in red thunder logo and boot by itselfs and bootloop, again and again. how to completely shut it down and charged it? or just charged it for few more hours?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
yup. turn off completely. phone is dead, when charged keep boot looping. 5 hours already
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
yup non stop reboot. bootloop and wont charge
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Erf u are locked bl?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well i got SuperSu to install by mounting Vendor, Cust and system. BUT if it mounts system.img it'll won't boot :/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
unlocked.. and charge has no effect, volume +- to load updater.app wont work
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
what about twrp?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
As i said before i cant enter anything except fastboot. Even if i flash twrp i cant boot into it as it is low battery and doesn't have enough power. Charging does not effect anything. It just stay low battery with red thnder bolt. It wont charge, it wont boot into any recovery
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
It won't even boot into the erecovery?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjdavis699:
I wanna try this but I'm on an L04 model and from what I've seen all the zips are for L09 models. Also I can't find the so called "second zip".
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hw_eu_full goes first also L04 is included in device list.

If u flash the update zip first your camera won't work xP

This is all devices that's included in UK? Release at least b362 version
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjdavis699:
The L04 is the US model as far as I know. Where do I get the hw_eu or whatever zip. It's not my main phone, so if the radio doesnt work thats fine.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjdavis699:
Think so. I hate to ask a repeat question but it was hard for me to understand the last person that posted it

What's the flashing order, including flashing twrp?

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Also that mega link does not work.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjdavis699:
I have the MM TWRP right now, and I know how to use TWRP, I just need to know the flashing order and when I need to switch to the Nougat TWRP.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjdavis699:
OK. That Mega link didn't work. What was there?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjdavis699:
Ok. I wanna make sure it isnt something I need then.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
please read, i already said. it wont boot into anythng. bttry is too low

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

what is fw_eu and where to get it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Anyone faced the problem of not getting the Home Screen?

I flashed the EMUI 5.0 BETA but without Homescreen (Huawei Launcher).

Bluetooth, NFC, Keyboard works now. :/

This is wierd.

UPDATE: I FLASHED THE ROLLBACK PACKAGE, AND GUESS WHAT, THE LAUNCHER CAME. :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjdavis699:
Where can I get the resizing files?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It's in TWRP under advanced wipe and select data and system

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------

I'll try make a guide later but use official hw_EU full zip instead of mine for now
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
i've read all. didnt find any link to download the hw thing
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtmo22x:
OK I'm confused... I unlocked the bootloader and rooted last night. I've got FRD-L04C567B162. Is it possible for me to update to nougat at this time? Would it be better for me to go back to stock and wait for the OTA like everyone else? So far, after rooting all I've been able to do was get Google assistant. That's cool but not enough of a reason to root lol. So if it is possible for me to get nougat, what are the exact steps and downloads needed to do so? Has anyone thought of making a video on this?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Yes it's possible to downgrade back to Marshmallow if you flash N via TWRP. You can downgrade using the B162 firmware.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtmo22x:
Where can I find that? All I saw was B122 on Google...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
I just quoted the link to the firmware. You have to extract the updater.app and flash it via the dload method to downgrade
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtmo22x:
Alright so somehow I got Android N on my honor 8 and lost root. However, I still have the backup I made when I installed twrp but I don't have twrp anymore. If I decide to go back and install the backup, would I need to install the twrp for MM or for Nougat?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
I'd say twrp for MM. But my recommendation is to downgrade to MM, install twrp and then restore the backup.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
U must use M twrp on M firmwares. And N for N firmwares. Doesn't work the other way around
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
of course man, golden age is coming soon (or late :)

when beta period will be completed and some beta errors solved, there will be a global OTA release for all who want to try

at least it's my hope and understanding....

it's anyway much more important to find a full working TWRP that allow us to correctly play with our phone and possibly getting root access in full
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Nah they won't release final stable ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
:laugh:

some newsletter I receive from national smartphone site was putting as estimated release date December 16th.... don't really believe knowing Huawei... but never say never...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
when it's released to all, it's no more beta....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Once it's been tested and all the bugs sorted then they will release the official EMUI 5

Not sure when that will be though

John
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
I don't honestly know mate. All I do know is that the beta is really stable as a daily ROM. I'm using it and an not having any issues?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
It's good stuff hey. We have made a real good choice with this phone. I'm using mine along side my flat mates pixel and I honestly wouldn't swap. He has only had 1 update since he got the phone(3 months). We are promised 2 years of updates the same as the pixel.

We have had a result !!!

John
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harthouse:
Don't want to sound like a noob, but how to try that beta on my L09, is that possible?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harthouse:
OK, but as far as I know, there is no unofficial beta firmware for international (L09) model, only for L04?!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micky_G:
I use The 316 and it Workshops like a Charme. My only Problem, exchange Server Mail is not working.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harthouse:
OK. And you will tell me the secret (how, where and slt) or not?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flet2:
Hey guys, Haven't seen any Firmware for the FRD-L14 posted. Googled and found this- translated from russian- seems a little fishy but all the changelogs link out to the "update.hicloud.com" location, same as those in the OP. Anyone find this site and use any of these files? I'd like to have a full stock firmware on hand before i mess around with root/recovery. This seem legit?

Edit: Read back through the thread and found the "Firmware finder" tool. this appears to be the 'common database' from the FF program. Question remains though- anyone tried any of these L14 Firmwares?

Here's what i found for the L14

Date of change / Model / Full title / A type

2016.11.24 / FRD-L14C567 / FRD-L14C567B320 / OTA

2016.11.22 / FRD-L14C567 / FRD-L14C567B320 / OTA

2016.11.19 / FRD-L14C567 / FRD-L14C567B317 / OTA

2016.11.11 / FRD-L14C567 / FRD-L14C567B317 / OTA

2016.11.05 / FRD-L14C567 / FRD-L14C567B316 / OTA

2016.10.27 / FRD-L14C567 / FRD-L14C567B162 / FULL

2016.10.27 / FRD-L14C567 / FRD-L14C567B162 / OTA

Here's the link

https://translate.google.com/transl...h/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=frd&sandbox=1
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
New update for L04. Check the firmware finder app.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nasser561:
LoL, I really wanna try it too on my US version L14.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harthouse:
Yeap, but we need to signup for beta program, I think.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nasser561:
Any idea how :) also i couldn't find it for my version L14
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flet2:
See my post on previous page- I believe this is the main repository that Firmware finder pulls from (or download the tool Here ) there are several builds for FRD-L14C567. B162 should be stock MM, B316, B317, and B320 should be N builds. I haven't tried any of them, or seen anyone who has but I assume these will work, I just don't want to be the guinea pig :eek:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
hi guys, i want to ask you all, how can i relock the bootloader? thank you a lot :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
By flashing stock firmware with dload method.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
dload flash would not normally relock the boot loader

fastboot oem lock (your unlock here)

Should work
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manny18pr:
You're right.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Downgrading firmware will re lock your device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
Never did on my h5x, I haven't tried on the H8

Edit: [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION] I see now that it worked, is this true of all H8 full firmware dloads ? they all wipe the phone and relock the bootloader ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
downgraded to b120, bootloader locked, thanks :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'm not sure. But I doubt it'll do. I think only downgrade does but I read upgrade does too if you do it trough dload. Never updated mine trough dload except once and I don't remember if it locked my device or not.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
[MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION] [MENTION=4876367]Mostar088[/MENTION] Ok I decide to send my device for faulty due to the bootloop and can't enter recovery nor charge. Honor in Malaysia just gave me a new device. Hahaha. Looks like their team also can't fix this.

.

Anyway, is there any way to install OTA manually? I'm on B130 FRD-L09C636B130. And on the FF it got new N update FRD-L09C636B320. Anyway to update?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harthouse:
Upgraded my H8 from 120 to 131. It re-locked bootloader and it didn't wipe anything.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
sound like the bootloop fried something

A bootloop and dead recovery? Wow they must feel proud ;) or they feel rich

Yeah so I heard [emoji14]
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
how to ota update manually?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
real OTA manually is unfortunately not possible at the moment, what you can do is extract the OTA package you download, extract the only UPDATE.APP and copy it into external SDcard/ dload folder (you must create dload folder on your external SDcard)

then, type on your dealer the following code *#*#2846579#*#*

you will enter into project menu.... select upgrade software and chose SDcard.... ed enjoy....

talking about real OTA upgrade, I am dealing with a very skilled developer who create this great tool :

https://github.com/dfc643/huawei-fake-ota

this was a great tool some months ago prior to new way Huawei uses to OTA send message to phones, and prior they changed the way UPDATER application question their server...

basically, the owner of this great tool did some test together with me, and he can't continue to develop some necessary changes if we don't provide him a complete traffic report including real live communication between honor updater application and Huawei server.....

now, to get this package report is not so difficult, there are plenty of ways to do that in a professional way (example with wireshark) or also in a easy and less complicated way (using a very nice, free, and no root needed app called tPacketCapture

playstore : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.taosoftware.android.packetcapture

since I am already in last EU firmware FRD-L09C432B131 and I will not get any new official OTA upgrade message.... i invite all users who maybe just bought their honor 8 being in a old firmware release and having a real OTA message asking to upgrade their phone, please download this app prior to upgrade the phone.... install tPacketCapture and just setup it to capture package received by Huawei updater

start capturing and then confirm the ota upgrade.... The application will capture a single file sniffing the communication between phone and Huawei server, and save it on SDcard/Android/data/jp.co.taosoftware.android.packetcapture/files/ here you see the file with extension " . pcap"

we need to send this file to the owner of huawei-fake-ota tool and hope he can deeply analyze the new way of file transferring and communications between Huawei and their phone with at least android lollipop or marshmallow, and modify the tool for me/us

hoping this traffic will be no encrypted, but we need at least to try this way, which is for me a potential concrete development for the future by using stock recovery and with no root need etc.... at least for the upgrade /downgrade...

in case someone is in the position to get this, please contact me by PM and I will provide further info and clarification

thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
finally!

just received OTA to upgrade my L09C432B131 to nougat B320FULLOTA

I'm downloading it... 2.1GB upgrade..... I can't wait guys....

see attached picture :cowboy:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
Nice, can you upload it?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelinoO:
hei, do you have the sniffed links ? Thanks you :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
Wait, are you part of the Beta program or is this supposedly the final 320 FW?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Beta Test for Sweden. Maby works for other Country to?

http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/se/fut/index.html
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
I'm part of beta tester yes
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
yes I have....

problem is the link to download directly this beta B320 is 'assigned' to single user and it's change every time,

and it's also encrypted, and last but not least it expired as soon as I completed the download....

so basically it's not possible to download again the update.zip file a second time from same 'unknown' link...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
who are you man, the 007's brother?

if I'm part of the beta users means I have credentials to join that, don't you?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
Hopefully we get an option to upgrade via Charles workaround. I am currently on 316 and if I go an check for an update I get nothing. I have not enrolled into the Beta program, as it isn't available in my country.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
if you have read my post some pages above, I'm working together with a developer to develop a tool to OTA FAKE the native UPDATER application and basically 'send' OTA package to honor 8, that will make the impossible possible.....

let me work on it and I really hope soon to be able to provide the magic stuff.....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
I might too, but right now, when there's no links for 320, I don't know how to do the update with help of Charles as we have to intercept the query and inject the right answer.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Im in the UK and on the beta N program, just received an update

Hi guys. I messed up my phone again. The bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP installed. The problem is that I can't flash any ROM for some reason. It has error 7 or something like that. And it has command errors I think. What can I do? And when I try to use the stock updater, it says that the update.app isn't compatible. Please help
