[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pairustwo:
Rakeen70210, you sound really confident about doing full updates after rooting. Will these full updates also replace the kernel?

palendrome87 and NAS420 could you guys report back with any success or errors you have flashing full updates?

Where can one download full updates for Honor 8?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rakeen70210:
Seeing as how the full update package was ~1.65GB in size, I think its ok to assume that it replaces everything with the stock Honor 8 image. So yes it will replace the kernel too.

For downloading full updates, the only way I got mine was an OTA directly from the phone itself. Look at my previous comments to see how I got this update. If for some reason you cant update, check if your model is ready for an update. If it is and you cant update, try to flash back to a stock image. You should be able to find one on this site or anywhere else.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Nas42O:
Flash stock recovery will lock boot loader ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rakeen70210:
No, the only way to lock the bootloader is to manually lock it yourself using a similar operation to unlocking it.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] akelty:
I thought the same thing, but after taking the full OTA update my bootloader was locked again. If you want to update I would suggest first making a full backup to the external SD card in TWRP.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Nas42O:
Then , its better to download à full update ( update.zip) ,copy to root of the phone , reboot in twrp and flash it ? Anyone already did it ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
You can't flash stock firmwares in TWRP.

Is not there a tool to flash files and zips? Like Odin to Samsung, and ruu to HTC?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
We have fastboot. One and only fastboot.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
I heard about a srk kit. I think u mentioned that.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Yes I saw it posted in several Honor forums. It's a generic tool to unlock/relock bootloaders and flash recoveries.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] tkdsl:
/what is your model of the Honor 8 is it the L04 or the L09?

Also can you share what version of exposed did you use ? I have heard that 86 is not working right is that correct ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
The only safe way of updating is to remove root and flash stock boot and recovery partitions. Then you can flash TWRP and Supersu again.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] N.W.A.99:
Hello there,

I have already asked the same thing on the subreddit for the Honor 8, but unfortunately, no answer was given so far. So here is a copy-paste of my question.

As someone, who is genuinely interested in buying the Honor 8, there is one thing I want to know. Usually, I root every phone I lay my hands on. With the Nexii, it has been easy to flash updates using the Nexus Toolkit while being rooted, using the No-Wipe mode, which means that basically a stock image was flashed replacing all system relevant files, while leaving my files and apps as they were; at least that's what I understood. :D

As rooted devices are not able to install OTA directly, I'm doomed (kinda willingly here, but you get what I mean..) to the process of installing OTAs (which never worked on my Nexii before, which lead to the other, following option) either through adb or flashing stock images, as already mentioned.

So my question is, how does updating your device work on a rooted Honor 8? Is there also some kind of toolkit to just flash the stock image from the devs, while having a No-Wipe option? I really want to know that, since I prefer my phone to be rooted and since I don't want to have everything wiped every time I update my phone. Thanks!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Gerd3000:
Hello.

I own a FRD-L19C432

Firmware is B120

bootloader unlocked and rooted

Some weeks ago I got an update notification for B131

Because TWRP was installed, I ignored it for a while.

Then I flashed stock recovery to do the update.

Unfortunately I flashed wrong recovery. Extraced it from FRD-L19C636B120

I did not notice my mistake and tried to do the OTA update.

Phone booted to recovery, tried to flash, stopped saying that something went wrong. Can't remeber the exact error message. I think it said to download the update again.

Phone booted back to system. Still on B120.

Since this happend the update app says that there is no newer firmware than B120. No OTA and no full package.

I realized some days later that I flashed wrong revocery. Then I flashed the correct one hoping that the update app will show B131 agian. But it didn't.

I'm glad I did't brick the phone by flashing the wrong recovery.

But how do I get the update?

I already tried to download manually via hicloud. But I cant find B131. Did they call B131 back?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] chongns:
Did u try to clear the cache of the updater app?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] AnGr88:
Does flashing the stock recovery wipe all the data ?

i wanna do the same to update my phone.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Gerd3000:
Flashing recovery does not wipe any date. No matter if stock or twrp recovery.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Yes I tried. Didn't change anything
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] chongns:
I found the the updater link server is broken. the B131 now link by B120

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] RojasTKD:
First I should mention my 8525 was a referb and I had it for about 3.5 months.

first thing I noticed it that it would drop cennection with my wifi. I thought (and still think) it was likely do to my older belkin wifi router. Did notice this with other connections.

them my software would do strange things... One app would suddenly open when using another or the app I was using would suddenly close.

On ocasion I would miss a call and get a voice mail with out ever hearing the phone ring. At first I thought maybe I waspressing a button sendinf call to voive mail by accident as the phone was in it case. Thi started to happen more frequntly. THen I noticed that my phone was losing all reception, some time for a few seconds sometime for much longer. I then on ocasion after a reset it wou sho "No GSM", another soft reset would usually cure this. But it becase more prevalent.Tried to flash to the official AT&T rom to get the latest radio, but still would lose reception. well, flashed between Official AT&T rom and vp3G a few time but now I get "No GSM" all the time.

Do you thing it fixable? Perhaps it's a redio hardware issue. I would think ir it's software it would right after a flash. Mine seem to pregressivly gottem worse. Make me think it was hardware going bad.

Lesson learned: Stay away from Referbs and their 30 day warrenty.

Final solution: Gota new accout and a 8925 (Tilt) from newegg. Arrives today!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] D@rk_4ngel:
Oih dude.. Good Luck with that brick..

WIKI FTW!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] RojasTKD:
forgot to mention one other issue i was having. I had two AOL e-mail accounts set up and have had about 4 occasions where they would just disapera. I tried to set them up again but it would tell me "that name is already in use". This happended prior to it going to hell in a handbasket (and even after when I was relegated to using wifi only).

Good new is I revieved my Kaiser yesterday and it rocks. It runs so much better even witht the defult AT&T bloatware ROM. But now I'm a little afraid to flash a new ROM, One bitten twice shy!
[BlackBerry Priv] schmandroid:
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for feedback preferably from ex Photon Q users:

I'm currently running my stripped & tweaked stock ROM XT897, as I love the slider 5 row keyboard.

Battery life is OK to good considering the age, esp after locking down system & user apps that like to run free in the background.

It does most of everything I want, but there are more apps that require newer OS, and the browser is a bit outdated for certain sites etc.

Currently I run xposed for add removal & extra functionality over the stock ROM. I can't access 4G data speeds with the PQ either.

I've been considering the Priv since it was announced, and there are 3x things that have delayed the move for me:

1) candy bar slider - this results in a narrower keyboard. The narrow keyboard looks as if it may make handling & typing a little bit more difficult, with the screen weight so far from the keyboard. Using a side slider, the weight is a non-issue, and typing is extremely fast using 2x thumbs. Have any side slider users found the transition a bit difficult, or do you find the Priv as quick to use/type, & balanced?

2) 4 row keyboard - this reminds me of the transition from the HTC G1 (dream) 5 row keyboard, to the HTC G2 (vision) 4 row keyboard. It is almost as good, but having to mash a sequence of function buttons regularly during typing to get numbers etc kept me reminiscing about my G1's 5 rows. Other 5 row keyboard users - do you find the narrower 4 row of the Priv to be a nagging reminder of what you left behind also?

3) locked down OS - I'm amazed at how well the PQ runs now that I have gone back to (stripped & system app/process locked) stock Moto OS, esp after trying a number of custom ROM's. I've read that the Priv stock is very clean, & doesn't have anywhere near the bloat of other manufacturers stock ROM's. I am however interested in how current users find the OS's data & battery management is affected by system apps/processes running freely in the background unrestricted. Being able to manually shut these down has made the biggest improvement on my current handset, however if the Priv manages all these well, then this is a non-issue for me. Do current Priv owners find the OS needs tweaking to gain extra battery or data savings/control?

Thanks in advance.
[BlackBerry Priv] ajoh99:
I made the move. I moved to ATT, so I moved from my Photon Q to an LG F3Q and now the Priv.

To sum it up, I still miss my Photon. The Priv is the only phone on the market that has a QWERTY now, so it was my only option, but I am consistently, daily disappointed with it.

The keys are too small, which could be forgiven if not for the extremely awkward ALT + number shenanigans because of the missing 5th row. It is nearly impossible (for my large thumbs - the reason I stay away from touch keyboards) to type a 7 because of the placement of the ALT key right next to it.

Furthermore, the keyboard is glitchy. When the phone is under stress / high CPU usage, it begins doubling up letters and randomly capitalizing things. Not everyone has this issue, but I'm not the only one.

The phone also overheats like crazy, sometimes being uncomfortably hot in my pocket when updating apps or something.

Phone is laggy in general, feels sluggish. Camera is slow to snap the shot, and only mediocre quality at best.

In terms of battery, I don't really ever expect to get through the day with this thing. I am a decently heavy user, but this phone is the first where I feel the need to always keep a battery pack with me to recharge it. One that front tho, it has QuickCharge 2, so with a quick charger, it charges up pretty quick.

Additionally, coming from only phones with custom roms + root, I had no idea how frustrating a non-rooted phone would be. I miss my xposed modules, I miss being able to change random things to my liking (the entire reason I went with android in the first place).

But mostly, I miss being able to back things up. IOS has a great backup / restore system. Android's is abysmal, but at least with the phone being rooted, I could back up and restore properly. Without root, many Android apps can't be backed up and restored reliably, meaning that I will lose all chat history and etc in some of these apps if I ever need to factory reset my phone or move to another phone. This is my biggest and most unsolvable frustration on this phone and it drives me crazy. Also, not having root means I can't look under the hood to even see what's going on when my CPU is at 100%, the phone is overheating, and there are no apps over.

However, all that said, it's still the best phone on the market for my needs. It has LTE support, a QWERTY keyboard, I do actually LOVE the backberry hub communication center, and has latest version of android so it runs all the apps.

I hate this thing but I will probably continue using it for the next bunch of years seeing as no other QWERTY alternatives are likely to come out.

I really miss the build quality and durability of Photon Q, and definitely consider this phone a downgrade in almost all the ways - except Android 6 and LTE.

You already know you will buy it, so just bite the bullet and make the best of it. Good luck.
[BlackBerry Priv] schmandroid:
Yep - diehard HWKB users know each other too well. I've bought it.

I've been waiting to see if the Moto Z Force will have a HWKB mod, esp as the prototype device was developed with one, inc extended battery.

Looked at NFC keyboards & wondered if it would be easy enough to build a custom handset using this tech also.

A really good solve for the 4 row would be a "touch" 5th row for numbers across the bottom of the screen! I wonder if BB would implement this if they were asked..... My Priv is in the mail, so I have about a week to build up my excitement in time to develop some serious buyer's-remorse......LOL

I expect I will be Ok with it though, I have taken 12 months to assess the forums & +/- of the device, plus I just purchased for ~$520AUD inc shipping for a new STV100-4, so that is not such a hard pill to swallow.

I will be Z Forcing as soon as they (someone) release a KB Mod for that sucker, and I'll fully kit out on extended batteries, speakers, camera, projector, etc etc - as I'll pick one up for the missus also, so the mods will get plenty of use.

P.S. just restored my PQ to an earlier backup after the memory dried up over time - I suspect from ESFM's Trash Can storing all sorts of junk even after disabling it..... ROOT=Bliss.
[BlackBerry Priv] am3ricain:
Hi

I made the move (broke the screen of my photn Q), and got a priv, one year ago..

Great device, but ****ty keyboard. ... 4rows, crazy keys map, small keys... Argh. Makes it quite useless, thoug the slide effect of the KB just rocks ! Great stuff at opening, bad stuff when using it.

I miss the root, too... deeply. :/

Since I live in France, i would not say I totally regret : the photon LTE Bands don't fit here, sadly.

But I often think about rearm my "backup photon Q", in particular for my extra work usage....

[ NB : I bought at the same time a refurbished device to repair my former photon Q...

You know the story, work, work, work, kids, kids kids, girls girls girls, no much time for this kind of amusement... It 's been a ****ing puzzle yet to have my photon Q equipped with a sim card reader, am a bit lazy to do the job atm. ]

I surely will, some day, but I'll surely keep as well my priv : Luv android M, pretty updates rate, Luv the screen, size, quality and design , have no bugs with the keyboard nor overheating issues, battery is fine (I phone all day + GPS , and often re-plug it the day after, and quick charge). To me, the APN is pretty ok (except when lacking luminosity), still greater than the photon's one.

My "photon chéri" happened to be more laggy and overheating than my Priv, got a dead pixel after a month, battery died after 6.

> we ll probably never meet a keyboard as cool as the photon one. It's a pitty BlackBerry did not choose to put the keyboard on the longer side of the phone !

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupfulloflol:
Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, it looks like Android Safetynet gets tripped by just having it unlocked. Many people have claimed their device that previously was able to work with Safetynet apps, now fails (not just Nexus 6s but OnePlus, Honor, HTC....etc).

I believe there are apps that will test your standing with Safetynet.

Yeah. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a happy outcome for the tinkerers here.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrayBoltWolf:
Yep it's official. Bootloader unlock breaks SafetyNet.

Android Pay is completely dead to me now. Nobody in the US accepts it, it is a pain to get working, and I might as well have pulled out my card by the time I fiddle with finding the right spot and getting it to work.

Google has really been pissing me off lately. They just can't get their stuff together and they are rapidly forgetting the real Android fans in a chase after Apple's marketshare.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiestuff:
Did this start working for anyone yet?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It never will unless Google loosens up on the bootloader lock requirement. I seriously doubt they will, as this is the only way they see to guarantee Android Pay is secure. The real issue is future apps embedding a SafetyNet API call when it isn't necessary.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiestuff:
I thought i read some comments on Android police saying it's working again. I was able to get a far as picking a card but then it would fail again
