[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavi0x:
After i downgraded to B31 again the your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted message disappeared! so i guess everything is back where it used to be and the bootloader relocked itself (am i right?), i'm staying on the B31 FW for now and will wait on android N OTA!

Thank you !
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harthouse:
No problemo. Bootloader on my H8 is Relocked also, but no Locked... Who cares... Will stay on Nougat for a while...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavi0x:
Since i'm back on B131 now i'm using Charles method again via cvkef response, i hope it will install and then just leave it on Nougat beta and receive future updates via OTA from there!

Once again i want to thank you very much for helping me out!

Also crashes updater @ 72%
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvkef:
Hey, I've never face an Updater crash whatever method I used.

Please provide more info on this. Screenshots from Charles, the state of your smartphone internal card, etc. I can't even think what could possibly cause the Updater to crash.

Just a note. The 72% indicates that is around the completion of downloading the first file (update.zip). 72% of 2.1GB is about 1.5GB.

While you download the update, open the FIles app and navigate to Internal storage > HwOUC and check the files while they are being downloaded.

Anyways, please provide more info on this so anybody could help you.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mavi0x:
I re installed and configured Charles, now it works how its supposed to work! :good:

Thanks for your help!

Hmmm... Okay, so currently I am on FRD-L04C567B162.

If I use this method to upgrade to the EMUI 5.0 Beta, will I still receive the Offical OTA for the Offical EMUI 5.0 Nougat? or are they the same build?

Hi all and thanks for all this discussions,

I was wondering if anyone tried this method on FRD-L09C185 models.

If not is it ok to upgrade from B130 to B320 ? (FRD-L09C185B130 --> FRD-L09C185B320)

Also can one help me how to re-write "Charles" response to work with this?

thanks.

Edit: tried upgrading from B130 to B320 and it works!, thx.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvkef:
That's why you were on an EMUI 5 based ROM.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Onclebat:
Ok so if I understand correctly, it does not work for me because my phone is running B316. I have to rollback to Emui 4 before trying to download B320 package on your server ?

I just updated to B320 from B131, everything went fine.

[MENTION=4072047]cvkef[/MENTION] :

I picked up my H8 last night at FedEx and have just been checking out V. FRD-L04C567B162 for about a day, and will give this update to beta Nougat a shot tomorrow.

I had at least one thing (or three) I didn't understand:

I think you said "The H8 and the PC must be on the same wireless network". (or close to that) in your original post (#11 I think). I'm wondering if you just meant "on the same LAN", because the packets should be visible everywhere on the LAN (192.168.1.xxx), or am I missing anything there? My PC has no wifi, but is wired into the same LAN as the WIFI. (i.e. PC is say at 192.168.1.3 and Cell is at 192.168.1.140)

Also: Is this update non-destructive to data & settings or does it blow anything away that isn't on the extSD?

And finally: How is the battery life on Nougat beta so far? I've been having nearly invisible drain overnight and ~6.5 hrs screen time this first day and a half and would love to see it pretty much remain that way, but I understand it's an upgrade with risks, etc..

Many thanks,
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvkef:
True, you need the devices to be on the same local network. It doesn't matter how they are connected, wired or wireless.

Upgrading is not destructive. Downgrade it is though.

B320 gives me almost 2 days of battery life with full use (browsing, fb messenger, 4G data always on, WiFi always on, GPS, Bluetooth, music, some photos). I think it's decent. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Thanks for that response. It got me to try this about an hour ago:

For the "not-quite-right" news: I think I was closest on my first attempt, when I could see sp_ard_common under the "hicloud*" request, then right-click, set bp, etc. Of course, I was a bit clumsy and possibly missed my window.

The next 10 times I tried it, it never again showed the sp_ard_common part, only the part shown in my image attachment.

At this point it only shows sp_secota_common (check attachment) which isn't really simliar to what I need to edit and execute. If you've seen this or anyone has and has any ideas if I've perhaps messed something up, please let me know. Funny but I tried getting the Team MT app that shows all updates and it shows b320 as the latest firmware I can download, but (no surprise) I can't download it.

So thanks again, and I'll await comments before I try this again.

Edit:: Team MT and it showing me B320 OTA available. There are 2 of them showing. One is a minor (200Mb) OTA from today, and the other B320 is from the 22nd and is 1.3GB. I tried the 2nd one (1.3G) and it is downloading. I'll probably never be able to post again ;;). If you know what I could be getting into by doing this, any help would be greatly appreciated. It seems like the correct version that I've been asking for via my charles edit: V: FRD-L04567B320 . Go figure.

Edit2:: The download from team-mt is nearly done. If anyone has tried this , is it data-destructive to apply an update this way? I'm new to the Honor 8 planet. Thanks.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
Check my screen shots very carefully

I noticed in yours your not on the Breakpoint tab

The first pic is where you just choose Execute

The second pic is where you insert your response then Execute

Also downloading the full update won't help unless you plan on setting up the web server and everything

you can't just flash it in dload it will fail
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Thanks for the images & the reply. I did exactly that about 10 times. In the original post 11 he said to do it from the sp_ard_common section, which I never saw after the first time. I can't find anything superfluous in his post of instructions, so I tend to believe it. However: It looks like you clicked on some other section (which worked for you). (sp_cota_common)? I'll try that.

So all that OTA stuff is just not true.. Figures.

Edit: I tried it as you showed, with the breakpoint on the "*hihonor*" entry, and the text was just as you showed, hit json_text, entered my correct phrase, clicked execute. settings/update doesn't want to catch on.

You said the OTA won't work despite it being a 1.3G .zip file that'll unpack to dload if I want it to and that I had to setup a web server. I've setup a lot of web servers. Is there a post you can direct me to about trying it this way? Just curious. Oh.. Would that be a web server to do authentication of whether I'm in the official beta? That might make some sense. Well, back to trying this way.

Does it work the same way if you want to downgrade from b320 to b131?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
no downgrade is completely different

it involves flashing from stock recovery and dload/update.app

theirs no root needed

all you need is the downgrade file and the full b131 for your phone

downgrading will relock the bootloader and completely wipe your phone
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sheldd:
I made the downgrade today,it's easy. Search on honor site the rollback package,it s like L09C900B300 (if i m not wrong) and the L09c432b131. Exactrac the rollback and put the dload folder on sdcard,install it the made the same thing with the b131. Thats all.

[MENTION=4072047]cvkef[/MENTION] :

It looks like I have to behave as if I'm human for awhile and .. socialize, but I'd appreciate if you'd look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70236252&postcount=329

And let me know what you think about what I said about the "sp_ard_common" area only showing up the very first time I hit update, and not after. Of course I messed up the timing the first time, and all following times show the request, but only the other section "sp_secota_common". I think that's my problem but not sure why. I followed your steps and used the correct overwrite reply in json_edit.

Thanks much. I'll be back later in case you can get to it.

Edit::

So I stopped behaving here and put up my local web server with all the necessary files under localhost/v*/f1/{etc}..

Then I used a reply like this :

But I think I'm out of the game until someone can see a problem like I am having (I'm sure not many others had it) with a) the OP's post #1, b) your post #11 and c) your post describing how to do this with a local web server (well, actually so does the OP). The problem is that all the successful downloads make a point of being able to breakpoint at "sp_ard_common" rather than just whatever has showed up in Charles. I can't do this now because I saw "sp_ard_common" exactly once ;;) . OK, I think I've said not only enough, but way too much. I'll probably try to take a day away from upgrading a phone I am just about completely happy with aside from this sick desire to get Nougat on it a month early.

Also: The more I read post #1, the more I realize how in a way, it possibly makes things really clear in that you see the exact response for the model I've got that you reply to and you know that it's the third response and you also know that it has "sp_ard_common" in the query. *pulls self away from computer**..

Thanks to all you pioneers. Nothing like a new different architecture phone to humble you out in 2 days.

Cheers.

PS: I'm out of time for awhile (lunch) and then I'll try my local server version, but I think it's all a waste of time without my seeing that key clause I'm missing.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Hi,

Do you mean "force close" the updater app? I , for some reason, thought it was just built into the settings, but I'll look at apps and give it a shot.

Edit:: Yeah: You can clear cache, data & force stop, so good idea. Worth a shot. I had rebooted, but that wouldn't have cleared cache & data.

Thanks,
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krikoo:

Coming from Honor 7, I know that updates comes with a huge late in Hungary. I've always done updates by downloading it from Honor UK or from somewhere else...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
OK I just went through the whole thing again

once charles app is setup correctly it takes about 10 seconds to get the update notice on my phone

more screen shots for you

forget the webserver this is much much easier
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Thanks. It is exactly as mine was the first time I did it where I missed the timing window. Never again has sp_ard_common occurred. Firewall is disabled now and I just cleared cache, data & force closed updater app, so will try again. Good screenies.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sheldd:
Someone know if it's realsed another version for L09 ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
don't forget to setup the proxy on the phones wifi to match the PC wifi it's the 2nd most important step

along with setting the breakpoint and pasting the correct response
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
OK: Everything is once again setup, and after clearing data & cache, updater is spitting out the sp_ard_common request again. This is the sequence:

1) two requests & response from sp_secota_common which I say "Execute" to.

2) the one I want, sp_ard_common comes through,

3) in json_edit I put my request in and click execute.

4) I wait for the phone to come out of it's coma and tell me there's an update, which it doesn't.

Does it sound like I'm missing anything? (other than a brain?)

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

Edit:

I finally managed to get rid of all breakpoints except the one on sp_ard_common, which is the request I want to edit & execute, which I do, so I feel the closest I've been to success, but the emui updater doesn't even show a sign of an update. I'll put the return phrase for me below.

Here is the pic of my successful capture / edit json_text screen from the last run before charles timed out again (free for 30 days):: I replaced it with the above and clicked execute. Anyone think I'm missing something?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
on the first notification you don't edit - just hit execute

it pops up again with edit response this is the one you edit the json_txt and hit Execute for the second time
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Thanks, I'll try that when I return.

I'm assuming I don't hit execute for the "status" = 1 screens that also pop up. Just the bigger text ones.

Back in a few hours.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

I'm guessing that you've got me right at the edge of "success" here. I have about 10 more minutes at home so not enough time to let it update. Do I "have" to update when it finds the update or can I just say "later". I'm going to try using the H8 on a hike as a "trekker" for a few hours and don't want the darned thing to update during that ;;)

So should i just wait till I'm home?

Any suggestions?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Hi - I just got back home from hiking around and started the update download. It was what you said. I needed to let the first one go by (which is really the third one in post #1), but it worked!

So, for better or worse, it's updating right now. I owe you guys ( [MENTION=7888588]schluk[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4072047]cvkef[/MENTION] , and [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] ) and whoever else posted anything useful in this thread, lots I imagine.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
The path to update later will most likely involve 2 flashes from the dload folder

I took a look at "firmware" app by team mt and noticed there is supposedly another emui update from 24 Dec. I'll show the image as an attachment:

Anyone have any idea what this is? It is supposedly ~390 MB.

Oh! Never mind: I misread. It says 24 Nov. It's all probably been rolled into the 2.4 G update emui 5 I applied yesterday. Aside from the inability to see individual processes (running stock here at the moment), it seems to be working nicely. ~5% usage overnight and everything seems smooth. I like the double-screen as well.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalbreak:
Not sure if this was discussed in any of the threads already, but if I do this and install the beta, will it also give me future beta updates (if any) pushed by Honor and the ability to upgrade to the final build when EMUI 5 is released?
