I am fairly certain you have to rollback to B162 first, and then you can update directly to the B320 update via Charles.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vuoshino:
i tried to upgrade from l09c432b131 to nougat 320 with charles app and this code:

{
"status": "0",
"autoPollingCycle": "1",
"components": [{
"name": "FRD-L09C432B320",
"version": "FRD-L09C432B320",
"versionID": "67426",
"description": "FRD-L09C432B320 (2016/11/24)",
"createTime": "2016-11-24T01:57:51+0000",
"url": "http://honor.cvk.gr/v67426/"
}]
}

but show me this version of the upgrade and i think there is something wrong with the number version and the weight of the pack:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
I might be missing something, but it looks a lot like what you've asked for in the request. The only thing different from your request and nearly everyone else's that works is that your description only contains the name of the "target", rather than the name of where you're at (current version of OS) and where you want to go. Just look back at any other request in here. Also, the URL is different but I think for your nationality origin , that might be fine. It doesn't show up in the regular OS site.

Also: If that actually works, I'm tempted to change the description to being more like yours in the future.

What makes you think it's wrong?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshute:
I have not, the phone is on B162 now and was hoping to figure out a way to go directly to B350 like I can for B320. Back a bit there was a comment that the B320 to B350 did not flash completely. I might have to go that route eventually.

L14 B360 update

After many attempts I finally realized that I needed to download the specific update_data_full_hw_usa.zip for the B360 update which is roughly 900Mb in size.

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v72029/f1/full/hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v72029/f1/full/update.zip

So I flashed it through TWRP (frd-twrp.img). I'll post later which one is. That recovery is the only one that works on my L14 with nougat. Plus I got root using the SuperSU zip 2.79 EMUI5 zip that can be found in one of the threads. If I have some time later I'll post the links for those and the steps I took.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmband64:
That would be greatly appreciated. I've been considering unlocking my bootloader and going TWRP, and it would be great to know the correct files from someone that's already done it. Thanks for posting!

Are you talking about an update to B360 for L04 version? I am currently on B320.

edit: nevermind, I see its for L14
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yalokiy:
Has anyone tried flashing L14C567 version on L04C567 ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Thanks for the instructive post:

My question: (s):

1) Is the content of the update.zip and *data*.zip file(s) such that they require updating from a completely stock b162 phone? It just seems odd that every OTA would require that you'd never seen b320, b317, b??? or anything other than b162. If that were the case, every single newer update would require a rollback to b162 to apply. It doesn't sound right.

a) I'm getting at that I'm already on b320 and am wondering if that full-looking b360 won't just overwrite what's on there or really requires the v162 files?

b) I'll also be trying this on an frd-l04 since the only difference I can see is that it supports dual sims.

2) In cLsA's post, I recall he did this sort of the other way around, where he first got himself to b320 using charles (or whatever) and then did the unlock/debug/flash data, etc.

a) so is there any reason why that's a bad idea for this update?

3) And I guess the obvious stuff: Was there any release notes of interest other than the generic useless stuff they put on that website under release notes? I mean once you installed b360.

Many thanks.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matrix003:
I'm in the same exact boat. How did you resolve it. I'm on 317 and need to update to 320 with FRD-L04 model. Help. reading entire tread still no light yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
1. The reason I started updating from B162 is because I have not used the B320 update before. It might work updating to B360 from B320 but it needs to be tested.

2. I haven't used Charles method, so no reason why it shouldn't work.

3. The specifics of the update are unknown to me as well. The changelog doesn't provide anything new from the B320 OTA.

Note: I have reset my phone once more to double check my own steps and found out I need to make some updates to the steps. I'll edit my previous post in a few minutes or so.

Regards,
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DimTag:
I just updated to L09C432B316. Do I have to rollback to update to a later version or can I repeat the same Charles process ? Can you also give me the commands to update if possible?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Thanks for the quick reply. I've become so used to people running b320 in this thread that I just had to ask. I used Charles to get from b162 to b320, but am on an frd-l04 model. It's pretty close physically (yours has double SIM), so I think I'll try Charles using a spoof series of requests just to see if there's any hope of that working. I suspect I'll be rolling back to b162 (always my backup plan) about 10 minutes after I try this ;;). I think the clauses I'll use will be like these:

The only reason I think it's worth a shot is because there was also a b320 version for the f14 as well as the f04. We'll see.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

It's not clear to me (even after trying it a few times myself, and having updated from b162 to b320, whether that can be done yet. I'm about to try (see my last post) updating by spoofing an f14 (from an f4) to get from b320 to b360. I suspect I'll be soft-bricked in oh .. no time at all .. ;;)

Edit:: I tried that several ways, but as I thought would be the case, Charles won't go for that clause or do that update from unlike phone to unlike phone. Or :: It could just be that Charles is only good from an allowed OS to an unallowed one doing this technique. I don't know but I'm not seeing it work.

I'm going to root, install TWRP and do it as others have just posted.

rollback on L04

two questions:

how do you roll back from B317 to B162 on an FRD-L04 model?

and when the official version on emui 5 comes out, will i receive the OTA while i am on build B317
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chongns:
soon, no one will gonna answer this question again.

For me this the last time.

there is a rollback package for this here

normally, developer build will not getting official release build from OTA. Like MIUI, you need to rollback to official build to get official build OTA update.

Installing B360 update on the FRD-L14 with TWRP

I have updated my original post with better steps to follow. Hopefully I got it right these time. :)

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

There you go, just roll down to find the link here:

https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1752

Upss not sure if this is what you were looking for, anyways.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

I thought the FRD-L04 was dual Nano-SIM, some websites say it is. Although, one of the SIM's is lost if you use a microSD card, like in my case.

I was about to tell you before, but forgot, that the 3-button-hold method just works with the B162 UPDATE.APP file. If I use either B320 or B360 files I get an error during flashing, that's why I always use B162 as my starting point every time I soft-brick the phone. It's a real pain.:(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
It's like a few phones these days, where the actual slots in the SIM/MicroSD tray are built to hold one SIM & one MicroSD card. A common trick is to attach a SIM to the MicroSD card in the correct orientation and voila! now you have a dual sim phone with extra SD mem. I have no idea if the settings applets give you any access for setup, but I've heard it can be done on the frd-l04.

Yeah, the B162 (update.zip/update.app, etc) is what I use as a rollback file and it seems to pretty well recover from anything using the 3-button hold (or if you've got stock recovery, that).

Anyway , thanks for the rewrite. I wound up deciding not to screw up my phone tonight so I can work tomorrow ;;) and will screw it up tomorrow night instead.

No I flashed b351

May as well ask my questions for the day::

1) I'm not a beta tester, but am using Charles to test b320.

2) I tried your code above using the dialer and it brings me to a "software upgrade?" menu.

3) If I say yes on my l04, what is it going to try to do and can I actually do it?

Thanks.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vuoshino:
are you sure? wich package i have to put on my sd? i dont have to use charles app to upgrade?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Sounds like he (LSD) was rooted, modified his model number in /system/build.prop and then did the dialer update-software option.

So I think the answer for you is "no", unless you are going to do all of that, and then when you do, I'd have to wonder if the radios and code for the L04C605* is right for the L09C432* ? I don't know the answer but I'd rather not find out before I have to go out and use the phone all day.

Maybe LSD can shed some light on that.

edit:: just realized that the f04c567 b360 update for my actual phone (not the wrong f04 for me) is on the .ru site so I'll try that via the update.zip method. I doubt it'll work, but at least it's the right flavor.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmband64:
I updated to B360 on FRD-L14 from B320 via the update.zip method. You also have to download the separate region specific hw/usa.zip and apply that update.app via the 3 button hold. Any questions let me know.

Edit: At least I did a full data bkp to the ext sd before I set out upon this nutty journey. Backup restore went fine. Ah .. where to start?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
I just did it. It would only work on internal storage. I just skipped all the setup, turned on usb debug, and pushed it to /sdcard/dload. Also, you have to push the 99MB one that is the intermediate that they give you with rollback app first, let that complete, verify, and then push the big bugger upload.app file (~3.5G) and do the 3 finger salute again from a dead start, no cables.

Cheers.

Oh yeah: One other silly thing: The reason I had such a bad time getting into "rollback" mode was because I had left the case on the honor8, and for some reason, I couldn't push both buttons at once with it. Once I thought about it and removed the case, it worked first time.

you must have downloaded the wrong file with the Charles proxy or your System partition did not pass the patch stage

only real way to ensure everything will work is to dload flash your original firmware / and from Stock recovery / Factory reset

So you didn't lose any data? Let me get this right: Did you extract "update.app", /data and metadata.* to the dload internal dir and then do the 3-finger deal?

If not, could you further explain. ? Also: which update_data_full* was it? Did it match the 360 update for your phone?

Doing it as a full rollback, and losing everything, the "backup" that came with the Honor recovered pretty much all the data I could think of looking at, so it's not so bad if you've a backup but I'm interested in your way.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
If you're going to try from b162, then here's the one I'm going to try tomorrow. I've wasted too much time on my phone today anyway but I did mess around with the 2nd breakpoint clause for tomorrow:

Of course, if you see anything wrong, please correct it (goes for anyone looking).

Just so you don't spend too much time on this: I tried a different clause but similar for updating from L04*320 to L04*360 and never got it to work, part of why I went through all that stuff today. Now that I'm back on b162, I think the chances are so-so this'll work.

I take it back. I got it to work. It works differently now. I'll explain it in a bit if it really does the update OK.

Charles changes (at least for me):

I used to get a breakpoint on sp_ard_common and then

1) wait for the first big clause/request from the phone

2) without touching it hit execute button

3) wait for the next big clause,

4) enter my clause overwriting it,

5) hit execute and that worked to 320.

Now:

1) Wait for first clause,

2) hit execute

3) on 2nd clause which is just 2 lines saying basically "OK",

4) overwrite it with your clause, and

5) hit execute. It worked for me from 162 to 360.
