Hi.

I was on the UK beta.

I asked the week before I got the 360 update if.

1: we would be getting any more updates as part of the beta program.

2: if we would be getting the official N update in Feb.

I asked these questions via the UK Honor 8 Google+ group and the questions and answers are still written up.

They told me that we would be getting one final up date before getting the official N some time in Feb.

Two days later I get the 360 update.

I thought that this was the final beta update.

I wrote back and asked them to confirm this and they wrote back and just said that the 360 update was final !!

Does this mean the final beta update or not I don't know.

All I do know for sure is the 360 that I got appears to be the same as what others got if they are in the beta or not.

My 360 update was under 500mb but then I already had the beta N on my phone.

The beta app that was on my phone is now showing that the beta N is finished.

I'm thinking that the 360 is the official N release. If I get anymore updates I will post on here

Make it compatible with Honor 6 and i will show you what is real testing. ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ctibor:
If one of the beta testers save the package before flashing it and then share it with the community (Dropbox or Google Drive, etc.), we all will be able to try the Android 7 -EMUI 5 on our Honor 8 phones!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
I think you have posted in the wrong thread.

You are having US model. This thread belongs to UK model.

Anyways that will done by our XDA ppl..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
yes but there's no thread of US model i think, and the BETA app is generally for all the models, so. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor UK (Verified):
Hi there, as this is a UK BETA test, we aren't currently looking for users in Malaysia, apologies.......
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor UK (Verified):
Hi there. The Netherlands will not be part of the test. Sorry.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor UK (Verified):
The number of users enrolled is what is shown in the app, acceptance will be done en masse for those who meet the criteria shortly before we push the OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fingery:
Ah, OK. That's great - appreciate the feedback.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fahimx:
Okayy i see, even so.. What version am I at FRD-L09C900B131.. I googled and search for any forum never found a thread about this update, no changelog either.. would you care walk me thorugh here. What's this update for? [MENTION=6808258]Honor UK (Verified)[/MENTION]
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Ah, shame. I was hoping we'd get it since we do have an Honor team here.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikev190:
I've signed up and ready to roll. Says 87 people signed on my beta app :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
so guys, nobody who download this beta test ota would share it as suggested below? cmon....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikev190:
No one has downloaded the beta yet. The beta app says 1 week from 21st
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
hi, and thanks for your feedback.

ok, so we all wait until UK users get it and appreciate if anyone can upload somewhere this OTA...

cheers

Its for UK based owners of honor 8, FRD-L09 should be on B131 (unfortunately we're on FRD-L04)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AL92:
Name: Emanuele Capone

Country you are using the phone in: Italy (with French Huawei ID)

Current Build Number: FRD-L09C432B131

Issue: Can't join the project in Beta App (There isn't)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JustPlayingHard:
I wish you Good luck Honor 8 Users!

EMUI 5 seems to be a big step up in terms of usability for both the Asian & Western markets as Huawei is now starting to cater for both of the markets, without having two different software builds which can ease their development team by a mile.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvkef:
Hope they begin to release decent sources so the community can take advantage of them too!

Looking forward for EMUI 5. Looks really nice!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JustPlayingHard:
I think they should to be honest, but it's up to them as it's their own in-house SoC so they have the option to release it or not.

We will have to see :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
Why not- The thread by [MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION] is for US version - http://xdaforums.com/honor-8/how-to/beta-test-emui-5-0-nougat-honor-8-t3495529/page5

Its not unfortunate. Seems that US version (FRD-L04C567B317) got EMUI 5 update - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v66156/f1/full/update.zip

It might roll out to you soon if you haven't got it.

US version is the first of Honor sub branded device to get EMUI 5. So you should be proud of it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Yes, but we can't report the BETA app problem there. :)

BTW did you tried the FRD-L04's B317 beta?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
I don't have Honor 8 bro.

Even my Honor 5X (KIW-L23) won't get any update.. Sadly staying on EMUI 3. :(

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Ehm? What
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
I'm too excited for the Nov results. I would like to have a device which runs at least on MM unlike my Kiw-L23.. :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
What's that?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
What? You're still in LP? I can't believe it. Go to the file depot thread you may find an OTA of EMUI 4 for your phone there.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
For KiW-L23, there is no files avlabl.

Staying on the same OS which came with the mobile.

KIW-L23 is my Honor 5X.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
This makes me sad man. :( Wtf was Huawei smoking and they didn't release an update for that model.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
Seems that it didn't go good. Only few ppl are having this variant. So Huawei might not release the upgrade for few ppl wasting their time for it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
They shouldn't have released that variant if they are not going to update it. Smh. Also, it will not take that much time. Only some small modifications.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
There are also few other Honor 5X variants which didn't get updated. Mainly regions where ppl ask for software upgrade are being upgraded. Others are left.

You can see that me and other 2 guys are the only persons asking for upgrade for Kiw-L23 in the whole internet.

Its not the case for KIW-L21, L22 & L24. You can see lots and lots of ppl asking for update for these regions. So they provide it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Yes I saw you in a Reddit thread. Lol.

how did you end up having an L23?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfwboredom:
What version is the supposed to be applied over? Getting an error from B131
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
From which source it that???
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AnDrOiiiD_YT:
Yes
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
From any trusted source??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tfwboredom:
It's directly from Huawei's update servers... obviously it is legit. The only question is which source version is required to install this OTA as B131 (the latest) doesn't work with it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
I think it should be B130
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AnDrOiiiD_YT:
Yes it's from a trusted site, but it doesn't work...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
it is not an OTA it is an Full Update. You can see it cause it is 1,4GB. OTA are much smaller. So i wonder as it should work with any FW, B130, 131 etc.

But i think too, its only a question of days that we get an running N Update. Hope dies last :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
i extracted this firmware with the huawei FW extractor and all seems ok. Its a very new FW made from today, 15.11 and at 1220h time. Maybe we get it to run some next days :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
I am on C432B131 and it wouldn't install. It says incompatible firmware version. So there is probably another OTA coming, before we can install this.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
It's OTA.

Flash via TWRP revovery sould work, WARNING ;)

Here is the changelog.

Thought why not be a guinea pig just in case there's an achievable working combo out there. Tried applying the OTA over B120, B130 and B131, all attempts failed.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
ok maybe someone can tell us which FW we need to update....B120 or 130 or 131?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Nah Huawei isn't any trusted source :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
Anyone tried flashing it with TWRP? I am hesitant, as I haven't yet unlocked the bootloader and I don't fancy loosing all my data while unlocking it.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
man, how can you flash an UPDATE.APP ( which is included into the update.zip ) via TWRP???

you mean via stock recovery NOT TWRP Recovery...??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
You can flash the zip file via TWRP.

But make sure you have backup files and know how to use fastboot.

via TWRP: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"

so i flashed the update zip via twrp and now i am on nougat! thx to ya all!

EDIT: i was on B130.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AL92:
what firmware did you have? B131 or B120? Didn't you have error 7 when flash the update.zip via TWRP?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultrahannoi1896:
nop i was on B130. No error at all. :good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
But there must some next days i hope an "real" update, OTA or Full update for all the users which have NOT rooted or an a custom recovery. Cause the normal way is an regular update and no flashing via TWRP. I hope the next days there will be some news

BTW does someone knews why i dont found in that Beta App any beta programm that i can join?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fingery:

(custom recovery -> look at the thread about it)

3. direct to install

4. choose update.zip

i dont have twrp installed, when i install it, i will lose warranty, or?

Flashed FRD-L09C432B316 via TWRP from FRD-L09C432B131, Failed to mount Cust and system.

But it worked, i see no different from the old FRD-L04 System is still super buggy.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
try a factory reset. it is a major update..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
Same settings bugs after factory reset..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sonyck:
Same here.

TWRP couldn't mounting /system and /cust during flash results in bugs, missing keyboards and applications (compass, clock, etc)

Had to go back to B131.

[MENTION=3016996]takeoff342[/MENTION] did you flash it with official TWRP 3.0.2 ? Everything went OK for you?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dusikeee:
someone without twrp? :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultrahannoi1896:
is there a possibility to go back to B131 without the use of a backup, because i forgot to do a backup. :eek:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sonyck:
Download and unzip the B131 firmware.

Put the "UPDATE.APP" file in the "dload" folder on the SD card root.

Turn off the phone then switch it on by pressing and holding Vol+ and Vol- keys
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultrahannoi1896:
it shows me a package failure every time :confused::crying:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
As far as i know its not easy to go back to B131 without backup. This is the reason why i dont flash FWs to fast and without to prove can i go back or not. i wish you all the best that you can go back. Maybe in the HISuite is an emergency option for that or so
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultrahannoi1896:
it looks like i have to stay on this beta for a while :( maybe there while be some new builds in the near future. i think that it is nearly unpossible to go back to MM or Emui 4. made a huge mistake. So

DO NOT

flash the ANDROID 7/EMUI5 Beta. I

cannot

recommend this!!!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Why would you discredit the beta because YOU made a mistake? It's perfectly fine to download as long as you make a backup. As for you just use the hisuite factory reset option.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sonyck:
That's what I did to flash back the B131 and that worked.

I even tried several times to flash B316 trying to understand why it didn't flash correctly, and every time I flashed B131, B130 or B120 to come back to starting point without any issue.

Don't know why you get that error. Maybe your file is corrupted. Try to download it again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultrahannoi1896:
I tried every fw so far and none of them worked for me.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor UK (Verified):
Hi [MENTION=260983]fingery[/MENTION] there shouldn't be any problems, as the BETA app logs the IMEI of the device to our database of people who have enrolled. So go for it, enroll twice. Although having one on Android M and one on N might help identify bugs..... That is the aim of this after all.....

Still waiting

(My first post :D )

Ok, so i signed up to the beta when it was announced.

It seems that I have been accepted into it, as it has me on "Stage 2" in the Beta app - "JOINED". So, what happens now? Do I get some notification to say to download it? I've tried running Updater etc, but that says that there is nothing new.

Is there someway to get EMUI 5 onto my Honor 8? I've had it almost 2 weeks, love it, and would really like to get Nougat on it without voiding warranty etc.

Cheers!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Honor should get your IMEI to enroll you in the program.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] montana_uk75:
Just seen in the app that I have been accepted, and should expect the Beta from the 21st November. So, just need to wait a little longer. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Great news. ;) Let us know after that date.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Can someone post a screenshot of the lockscreen when the a notification is present?! ( I wonder if it's like AOSP)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Just got my update today. It's so good
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
How you get it? You flashed it or updated and downloaded OTA? Or you get and OTA message that this new FW is available? I wonder cause u have the C432 EU version and for that no offical Beta Test is started. Did you joined it over the Beta App?

For the next one who get the update offical......please save the full FW and share it with us all here. thanks

Does anybody knows, why in the Beta app there is not beta to Join for me? There is shown that there is no beta program available for my device. L09C432. Thanks for info and Help
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
cool...

well, looks like the ota you got (if you upgrade through an ota warning message) it's the same firmware that is downlodable from Huawei server directly....

is your upgrade without any bugs? is your Bluetooth working fine?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Yes working perfect. Through official Beta app. Listening to bluetooth now
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
wow! cool!

guess what you got it's a kind of second ota upgrade still named 'B316' but with some previous errors and bugs finally fixed...

just a curiosity, is the ota you got a huge file?

thanks for your feedback and of course would be super if someone who will receive it as well can share it.... even if I think all you guys are registered beta users with no rooted phone, no custom recovery no nothing of all this, so it's not possible for you to save the ota....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
How about the settings app freezing etc? (especially at start-up)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
No freezing at all. Also it was a 2.2gb update
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
nice....

yes, 2.2GB is definitely bigger then the first OTA B316 ( which was only 1.38GB )

thanks man, and...enjoy :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
Official Beta app
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
and why you dont save the FW files to share it with all the others here?.......aah ok i understand. the main thing is that you have the Update. Is ok.

it would be so very fine, if the next one get the " new" B361 Fw, to save the update Files for us here. I promise, if i get the update, i share the files with you
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wildlime:
I have no idea how to do this. And my phone isn't unlocked or rooted
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takeoff342:
It is possible, that you find in the Beta app nothing to join. It depends on if your country is offical from Huawei for the beta opened. For example, it seems in UK via the beta app you can join the beta prgramm cause the UK is offical from huawei open for beta testing, and in germany you can NOT join it via beta app cause germany is actual NOT offical open for beta test.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
the only way for registered beta users in UK to save and share the file is to root their phone, install a file manager like rootexplorer for example.

as soon as they get the OTA warining that a new FW via OTA is available, they confirm and download it up to 100%....then, immediately after, without confirm the REBOOT to custom recovery for the flash, they simply open rootexplorer and going into

INTERNAL PARTITION they should see the OTA folder and the UPDATE.ZIP file.....and they simply copy it to sdcard and take it out of the phone....

THEN, they should remove the root, be sure to have their original stock recovery, and then basically they can accept the upgrade and install it....

easy....:)
