Because we have jumped from thread to thread I assume [emoji14]

If you're on m you should use m recovery first to Flash N firmware

They've shown up for me if I don't remember wrong. Will check again after next missed call
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Meemo23:
The lock screen is empty i have a few notifications all of which show up on the notification bar with a count. But none on my actual lock screen.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
how can i use this app?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkstar815:
I have noticed with this beta I have needed to turn some of my app notifications back on as they had been turned off

Other then that it seems to be running fine
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] montana_uk75:
I used it last night and it worked fine in the UK. Installed the Beta properly - not through flashing etc.

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

Same here...I don't see any notifications on the lockscreen, and yet I have a load enabled to show in BANNER and on LOCKSCREEN etc.

And as for the lockscreen - I'm also annoyed that as I use MUZEI for my wallpaper, before I installed the Beta, I could have that wallpaper on both desktop and lockscreen, but now it will only show on desktop. Live Wallpapers are not available to Lockscreen, it seems.

I've logged it as a bug, so will wait and see...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Martinimans:
No love for Portugal Honor 8 owners...

xD still waiting for some light on the end of the tunnel for an update or something, but from what i have seen, pretty cool stuff!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
[MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION], did you use the official MM TWRP 3.0.2.0? Maybe jumping the gun here, but do we know how to update the next EMUI 5.0 N Beta release once we are on this 1st N Beta? TIA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You can update later with nougat

Twrp
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
Thanks. Will this be the official TWRP or your upgraded twrp for nougat?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] allansworld:
Got it now

I received the update this morning and it look so much better and is much more user friendly.

The only feature I was hoping to find was the ability to disable the charging and fully charges LED's at the top of the phone but this is still missing from the options. I have submitted this is as a bug/feature request to the developers via the beta app.

Currently as I charge my phone overnight, I need to put a coaster on top of the phone to stop it lighting up the bedroom which is not ideal.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I most likely think it will be updated by twrp. But can't tell for sure.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
just a quick question, how long does it takes from when you join the beta group (accepted) until they release the OTA to your phone?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] allansworld:
I just installed the beta app and applied to join the project. The OTA showed under system update on Tuesday morning :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
I also applied like you, but can't see anything as estimated time of update.... do you mind to post a screen shot just showing how it looks like.... many Mamy thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
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] montana_uk75:
Thinking of dropping out of the beta, as some of the simple rudimentary aspects are not working, and it's annoying.

Lockscreen not showing notifications.

Notifications not waking the screen up

Live Wallpapers not available for the lockscreen.

My default keyboard (swiftkey) was disabled when I woke up this morning, and it had been changed to the Huawei one - I didn't make that change...

I've logged them all through the Beta app, so hopefully they'll be worked on etc. Just annoying (and yes - I know that issues are to be expected with using a Beta app...)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
If you logged all the issues you had, then yes you can drop out of it now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] altvolt74:
Where can I get the flashable.zip for nougat
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor UK (Verified):
Good news, for those users who want to go back to Android 6 (Marshmallow / EMUI 4) the rollback packages are now available for the FRD-L09 and FRD-L19 models, along with the FRD-L09C432B131 firmware for you to restore your Honor 8 to the state it was in before the BETA.

So you may be wondering how all of this works, basically you need to download two things, the rollback package and the Android M firmware. Below are the links for all of the files.

FRD-L09

FRD-L09 Rollback Package - Download from here.

FRD-L09C432B131 Android M Firmware - Download from here.

FRD-L19

FRD-L19 Rollback Package - Download from here.

FRD-L19C432B131 Android M Firmware - Download from here.

The rollback package contains two files, a dload folder containing an update.app and a PDF explaining the process. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE PDF before you start the process, also ensure anything you may need is backed up beforehand as YOUR PHONE WILL BE RESET during this process. To do the rollback you need to extract the contents of the RAR file and move the dload folder onto the SD card on your phone, it cannot be put on the internal memory and the SD card cannot contain any other dload folders, update.app files or update.zip files. Follow the instructions in the PDF about how to flash the rollback firmware and then once the phone has rebooted you will be ready to flash the Android M firmware. Again follow the instructions in the PDF, extracting the dload folder from the compressed folder and moving it to your SD card. Follow the same method as before and your phone after a short period of down time will reboot onto build number C432B131.

And yes before someone asks we have updated the OG post in this thread with this new info. There is also a new BETA app for users who have upgraded to Android N.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor UK (Verified):
Lockscreen notifications work for us, notifications waking the screen up work for us........ I guess you just need to configure the Magazine style lockscreen under Settings>Screen lock & passwords and then configure the Notifications as a whole Settings>notification & status bar>notifications turn on screen and then also look at notification management to "show all notification content" when the device is locked. Then lastly enable lockscreen notifications for the specific app you want and you should be good to go.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikev190:
I had various issues after upgrading to beta.

1. The battery was being drained badly over night - was Android system constantly running!

2. The lock screen notifications issue.

The solution for me was a wipe and reset. Since that my battery is normal again and I see notifications on the lock screen now!

Might be placebo but my phone seems snappier and got 96k in AnTuTu which is 2k more points than the review scores of emui 4.1
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Meemo23:
The option is not even there for me under lock screen and passwords.

Alright after much digging i hace found it. Thanks guys.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Thanks buddy, but I want the sizes from someone who got the EMUI 5.0 from OTA. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Judging on that the fact we use almost same installation procedure and that in fact it flashes correctly I bet it be the same
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Yes, we used TWRP, but the guys who got officially the OTA they updated via official recovery, and so we can know the size actually what it is meant to be. And we got it, it is meant to be 1.9 GB, so no need to resize. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well if u want it to have extra mods I'd resize anyway [emoji14]
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
but nobody who got the official update via OTA is able to share it? at least can someone who got the official OTA just at least tell how the OTA was received? I mean into which folder? and how it looks like? which ota folder structure?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mirecek11:
Advice

Yesterday I installed TWRP Nougat via according to the aforementioned procedures, I recorded most of the applications I had in MM and it seems that everything works as it should: D only in the information on the phone to me shows the assembly version NRD90 test key and not the version of software :D It's any way for installation with correctly number of version??? :confused:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You forgot to flash the hw_eu_full zip file

Which contains product info
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mirecek11:
No I didn't forget forget flash hw_eu but maybe I used first version of OTA from 10.11.

not from 19.11. now I downloaded this version and reflash this when I'll have a time for,

because phone working right with all function apps and so on. But thank's for your fast reaction!! :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Maybe it can be so.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
I also got the same build number version after flashing the N Beta through TWRP. I used the 19th Nov beta build, please let me know if yours displayed the correct build number after you reflashed.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
hi guys, i wanted to install twrp and this update today afternoon. I have question, how i can remove twrp then? thank you for your answers! :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mirecek11:
Yes I Will ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
Are you on EMUI 4.1 MM build now? If you want to take the official EMUI 5.0 Beta OTA update, you would need to re-install the stock recovery first.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
Appreciating its a beta, have many found it to be a phone killer with bootloops or the like, as I'd like to install it on my new device, so I get used to the new interface straight away.

Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
im on emui 4.1 frd-09c432b131
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
You would need to flash stock recovery (which you can extract from the B131 4.1 firmware) using fastboot. Then you can update to L09C432B316 EMUI 5 Beta OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
how can i do that please? im novice in this :D thank you a lot
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
You need to first extract the update.app from the full B131 firmware zip file (e.g. using 7-zip, WInRAR). Then use a tool called Huawei update extractor (link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454) to extract the stock recovery.img from the update.app file. To flash the stock recovery, type the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in fastboot mode.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
and when i flash twrp?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mirecek11:
Luckily I'm not a complete idiot and the good thing is succeeded :laugh: I reflashed it via TWRP NOUGAT and now it's everything ok
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No it'll replace twrp and flash the stock recovery anyway

But let's make this topic as Huawei Uk wants it to. No more trwp talk in here
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
So before I do this and potentially wipe my phone how are people finding it? Any glaring bugs or issues?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
As a new H8 user, I haven't rooted or unlocked as I usually do, but am keeping it clean for now, while I make sure all is well.

Upgrading to Nougat for me and only running it for a day, I am finding it very smooth, much better than the mm version, with all of my apps working so far.

Notifications are more as they are on my other sony and google devices, so I am happy.

No lockups or issues so far.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
Funnily enough that's the exact same as me. Decided not to root partly do I can actually use my banking apps. Have to say their keyboard needs some work though as swipe predictions are terrible.

Will update as soon as accepted.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
I did think the same about my banking apps and android pay, but mine are not yet supported in android pay, in the main, so am not as bothered about that now.

I agree about the keyboard but I am giving it a chance to learn before I change it. It may improve.

I assume we can also go back to the standard google keyboard too.

btw: I received the update on my phone the morning after I was accepted, which was also pretty quick too.

All in all I am happy, except the lack of non root backup, makes me feel I need a nandroid and Titanium backup before I am fully comfortable :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
Yes official uk beta program.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
I got a couple questions:

1. What zip do I use to flash this via twrp?

2. Can I dirty flash it, or do I need to wipe completely?

3. Would restoring via my backup of MM via twrp effectively downgrade me back to MM?

Thanks guys.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
1. Wrong thread. 2. Wrong thread. 3. No still wrong thread this is official beta UK testers thread. Let keep it that way
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor UK (Verified):
Yes. This thread was meant to be for UK based people to sign up for the official beta, to provide information about the rollback process and to offer help with both those processes. Please keep it on topic......?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
I noticed DPI changes via adb don't stick anymore. Has anyone figured out a way to change DPI on Nougat? EMUI 5 is supposed to have a select DPI mode on the Mate 9, but it seems that this wasn't ported to the Honor 8.

Disregard this post, I've since found the setting under Developer settings.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
WOot ty i didn't knew it existes
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
Well, it doesn't stick through reboots either. So we are out luck.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sonyck:
It does for me!

After reboot and even after switch off / on the mobile.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
Did a factory reset, now it does. However USB Debugging setting still gets turned off after every reboot.

Hi all, does anyone know where 320 is going OTA for us in the UK?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
Does 320 even exist for L09?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikev190:
I've just got 320 via OTA 280mb
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlrightSir:
Can someone check if the camera quality has changed with EMUI 5? It would be great if the sharpness and saturation were corrected, especially with distant-focused photos and green places.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
Well I've been accepted for the beta but when will I get the ota update?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
Nice, do you by any change have the file so you could upload it? In my country there's no Beta program and I upgraded via the Charles workaround.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
Very odd now I have just received the 320 update via the official update channel.

After installing 320 and going back into the beta app, I no longer seem to be registered to the beta project?

Is 2.2.12 the latest beta app?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
Hello Sir,

just a quick question on the roolback instruction...

The PDF instructions to rollback are clear and well understood, but I was wondering if INSTEAD of flashing the "rollback" UPDATE.APP with 3 buttons way, we simply copy UPDATE.APP into external SDCARD and we use the *#*#2846579#*#* project menu procedure via dealer.....is this way allowed ? if so, I guess the phone will rollback anyway BUT without get a DATA format like in the 3 buttons way, right?

Please just confirm if this is a possibility.

Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
So is this still actually happening since [MENTION=6808258]Honor UK (Verified)[/MENTION] seems to have gone quiet. I was accepted for the beta test over a week ago but no idea what happenes next.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
you need to wait till all participants to your beta session are completed and accepted..... Then the release will come, at least this is what happened to me......some more weeks of patience and you get it....

Yes, the 'verified' master disappeared.... also i haven't received any reply to my above question..... wondering if the purpose of beta program is create mess or really bring added value for everybody.... blaaaa

cheers

FRD-L09 here in Ireland.

If I cross over the border to Northern Ireland (and therefore UK) can I get the beta ? If so why restrict Republic of Ireland ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
UK beta is most likely full long time ago

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Lol no unless it decrypts the storage properly it won't save your data

Edit it wipes
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
Do Honor plan on pushing 7.1.x beta's through this beta after the 7 release?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Probably. But I think they should skip
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
Ok thanks, but I'd guessed 'probably' myself, but wanted to hear definitavely.

You also don't state why you suggest they should skip, when 7.1.1 is running fine for me on my other devices.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
the rollback package is basically just flash the stock recovery of EMUI 4.1, which allow then the 3 button flash to old B131 official stock firmware..... what is formatting data is the 3 buttons flash commands, this process is well known already.

probably the encryption of the Nougat firmware is something that must absolutely consider, and this can be the reason for loosing all data.... but if you put on top of this the 3 buttons flash well the data gone for sure.... that's why I asked to our disappeared master that question.... with still no answer......

anyway, I'm really close to decide to ROLLBACK so will test by myself on live experience and report...

cheers
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Huawei told you it'll erase data on pdf so unless it can decrypt the storage it won't wipe. I guess can't tell for sure
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_stoosh:
I was having a few issues with battery drain and followed the instructions and rolled back to old B131.

Immediately I've had an update notification to B316 which is 2.20Gb in size I guess this is still the beta version of Nougat but I'm going to ignore the update version if it's the beta version.

The change log doesn't mention anything about it being beta though.

Have a look
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
beta is the program where participants authorized get regular updates and can notify issues and help Huawei to improve the firmware and remove bugs...

what you got is a official upgrade to EMUI 5 published in the official Huawei server which is at the moment B316 release for L09 phone on B131 firmware EMUI 4.1

you can upgrade, you will get again nougat version

Beta firmware is actually on B320.... maybe after move to B316 you will get again OTA upgrade to B320... are you in the beta program?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_stoosh:
Yes Mate I'm in the beta program that's why I think when I logged into my Huawei account and when I reset my phone it read the IMEI/mobile number and it gave me the option to update back to Nougat. Think I'll give it a miss because of the options that I mentioned earlier. I submitted a few reports via the beta app.

Battery life is very high if not the highest priority in an Android phone and unfortunately the beta Nougat build that I was running made Android OS the highest contributor to eating battery.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
I got your point....

well, maybe a full factory reset after you upgrade again to nougat can solve this issue, I'm on beta B320 and the battery drain is similar to EMUI 4.1..... dont really see a huge difference on that.. but I see a more speedy phone in terms of rapidity and performance with nougat so I'm fine with it.

all depends how you use the phone of course, but I would say Huawei is doing a good job with EMUI 5, considering they are improving this version now and in the future.

cheers

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_stoosh:
I need help! I have a UK Honor 8 and I was on B320 and tried the rollback process and installed the interim file first however when I reboot it's still on 7.0 and when I try to input my Wifi code and set it up the keyboard hasn't appeared. What can I do?

Any pointers would be appreciated!

Never mind I've sorted it out. Just a matter of flashing B131 again even though the rollback didn't take.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
LOL if B131 worked the rollback worked

otherwise the b131 would fail

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
Is the beta officially over?

Would we finally get the official firmware without having to resort to workarounds?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nyssa1104:
Yes some time ago Huawei / Honor posted 3rd week in February that Honor 8 would get Nougat.

So it's just a matter of time.. So the official update to your device will be pushed to the air ways..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
The beta was officially ending on Jan 31, and I don't consider a roll out of few users (most of the rest that installed b360 did it with the Charles method) an official release. Official in my books is when it comes via the normal update method, even the os early adoption option. I don't have this, and neither do a couple of my friends who bought the phone about the same time as me. Only sparse sightings of people being able to update.

So, that's why I'm posting here, to hear it from the horse's mouth: is the beta finally over? when will be the general availability? and is, b360, the final build? I read, for example, that ROG doesn't work any more; is this an indication that it is still a beta release?
