[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Have you put the firmware in dload folder?!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] raza3434:
yes, somehow I managed to flash it successfully, but now I am stuck at blue honor logo...

EDIT: its done, factory reset worked!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Pyxpis:
Haha. It's okay. But what model of honor 8 you're using now?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
I'm using L04.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Moribus:
So yeah, my H8 jus downloaded update from b381 to b389, and when i try to flash it trough TWRP, it says those files are not compatible with my phone, strange, right?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Try to flash it in dload.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Moribus:
Just tried it and i get: "Software install failed".
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
How about HiSuite?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Moribus:
Doesn't work too, when it reboots, it just goes to TWRP, where should be original recovery and flash it.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Sorry man. This is out of my knowledge. :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Have you tried fastboot?!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] moolash:
I tiny issue but is annoying: I cannot find the setting to custom set the period the data usage is measured within. It seems like it counts from 1st day to the last one of the month. (it used to be available on Honor 5 and basically any phone. In some countries your data usage is counted from a random day of the month to the next month)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Yup I faced the same issue when I had a prepaid plan which meant that it renewed in the middle of the month. EMUI doesn't let u change the starting date unfortunately. U will have to download a data usage app or download ur carrier's app (which I did) which shows ur data usage.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Unfortunately, there's no settings for that
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Yes this is not present in EMUI. AOSP ROMs have it. If you prefer to stay in EMUI, try a third party data usage app. :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Moribus:
I don't really understand if it's possible to update ROM trough fastboot. Or I'm wrong?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
It is possible, it's just kinda frustrating to do it manually in fastboot

Is there a way to unlock my phones bootloader without wiping the phone?

Skickat från min FRD-L09 via Tapatalk
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
No way. It's an automatic process.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
No , just because u are unlocking it is a safety measure to wipe the sensitive data.if the data isnt wiped , when u device was stolen by pirates and when they try to alter ur device by unlocking Nd if there is no data wipe , all ur personal data will be in their hands.

Doing a screen repair on an Honor 8. After reqair was complete I downgraded from 7.0 to 6.0.1. and ever since I have been stuck on a smart cover view screen showing only the time in s small square on the screen. I have tried fully resetting th device. I have tried using a smart view case directly from Huawei. No luck. Does anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know where i can get the Android 7.0 firmware for the FRD-L04 and how I would flash it? I have scoured the net and am at a loss. Thanks to all in advance.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Try firmware finder
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] YeePie:
Okay but do you recommend any backup tools?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
U finger tips and esfile explorer are the top tools for copying data from internal memory to sdcard .
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] bxdever:
I am considering buying the Honor FRD-L14 (currently on sale for $400 CAD+tax) and want to confirm a few things before making the purchase.

1. I have always had a hard time understanding GSM/CDMA/LTE/etc frequencies...does this phone work with all carriers?

2. The store page doesn't mention anything about dual sim but I read somewhere all Honor 8 are dual sim...is this true?

3. Is the L14 variant capable of with getting TWRP + root + xposed? I have a hard time living without some xposed features like youtube background play and youtube adblock.

4. How good is the battery life?

5. Is a custom rom possible/available that will maximize battery life?

Thanks in advance for answering my noob questions, I tried to read through this thread but most posts deal with other variants.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
1. Yes

2. Not all. L04 is not dual sim. L09 is but I'm not sure about L14

3. Yes provided that you stay in Marshmallow

4. Quite good. Able to achieve 6-7 hrs of usage depending on the user

5. Yes. Only Nougat ROMs.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] esselesse:
Hello everyone!

I stucked with a little problem.

When i manually transfer my old photos from my computer to the honor 8, the metadata of photos changes. For example, the photo was created at 2012/01/01, after transferring it "was created" at 2017/06/27.

WTF?

and ok, the Gallery app works correctly with photos, but not videos!

all my vids are "made today"...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Never had this problem. :confused:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] esselesse:
well, ok.

could You just copy a random mp3 file with metadata on Honor 8 and try to delete that metadata using win explorer? :)

no, really, even when i move files from sd card to internal memory (through ES Explorer on Honor), every moved file changes its timestamp.

it's annoying. =(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Are you in EMUI 5?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] esselesse:
Yup. last one.

:crying:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Well if you move a file around, its timestamp will really changed but not the metadata. Did you try rebooting?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] esselesse:
yes. in the Gallery all photos are placed in right order and grouped by date of creation, but videos...

and yeah, some apps on my phone use timestamps to order files - and that is inconvenient, because old files could be placed on the top, when the newest files may be placed on the bottom...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Sorry man. I can't think of a possible reason and solution. :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Meeesh:
Alright, I'm getting really frustrated over here and i hope you guys can help me out.

My Phone ID is FRD-L09C636 and im running software B130. Apparently i am the only guy online with that specific phone. Its from malaysia while i am located in germany, so there is zero chance i will get the update through waiting. Which means i am stuck on EMUI 4.

I installed Team MT's Firmware finder, and when trying to download the latest update (FRD-L09C636B380) it will show me a negative size in the update program (-147910134324234 Bytes). I see people have fixed that problem before by pressing the "download latest full update" button, but that button simply does not exist anymore or I am to dumb to find it. Thats when i tried to download the firmware that comes after the one that is currently installed on mine instead, which would be the B320 update. However, that update gives me an error as "it was likely deleted".

Meanwhile the B380 download with negative bytesize is still running constantly jumps numbers from 70% to 50% etc. and i dont really know how to stop the download or how to get rid of it.

Is there anyway i can continue from here? Can i somehow unlock the "download latest full update" button? Or am i safe to install that negative size update? Am i stuck on android marshmallow forever? I am grateful for any advice, thank you!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Meeesh:
Oh my god thank you. I feel so dumb now. Quick question:

Can i go from B130 straight to B380? Or do i need to go to the very next update first? (Which should be the deleted B320)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Meeesh:
I love you, currently downloading. Will pray that everything works out!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Meeesh:
I got no idea what ff means, but yeah. Its the first time im dealing with phone modding, flashing, etc. so I am completely clueless. Thats why i picked the simplest method to update. When the B360 update works out fine, can i jump to the "full" B380 package and install that? Because there is no PV version of the 380 firmware.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tharitsaivet:
Hi mates, I just bought honor 8 yesterday. My model is al00 firmware B387. One problem that I found is no notification at all after I clear the recent application to increase the ram. I tried all suggestions from other forums such as battery, permission, and notification setting. The result doesn't change. However, if I don't clear the recent apps, the notification is normal even on the lock screen.

Do you guys have any suggestion? Thank you.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Clearing the recents will kill all the listed aops there. That's why you miss the notifications after doing that. We have 4GB of RAM, you don't have to do that.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tharitsaivet:
It is brand new and I am sure that I tick all permission and allow apps to run in background without battery optimization.

Right now, I just keep the apps stay in recent apps without clearing for RAM, so I can receive all notifications.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tharitsaivet:
It is weird for me because I had used z3 compact and receiving all notifications without any app run in the recent apps. So is this because of the emui?

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Yes, I alredy did that.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tharitsaivet:
I set do not disturb off.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Sorry, I don't understand what kind of synchronization? Where can I find it?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Maybe yes but this has been documented before here in XDA. Clearing the recent apps is not a good habit.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tharitsaivet:
For this one, I set sync as the first log-in with google account.

---------- Post added at 03:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

Sorry, I don't know that. Can you send me the link? Or Can you clarify why it is not good habit? What is the drawback of clearing recent apps?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Clearing recents will kill all the apps listed. All the killed apps will just be brought back to life by Android and they will be more RAM hungry. This will affect battery life when repeatedly done.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tharitsaivet:
Thank you mate, for new information.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Sure thing mate. :)

Can any nougat users confirm if third party step counters work with the screen off? Particularly I've got to use Moves. On marshmallow even with it set as a protected app no steps get counted after the screen goes off.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tharitsaivet:
Hi mate, I am on Nougat emui5.0 with firmware B387.

I use Facebook, Line, and Emails. The applications work during the screen off if you set it the right and don't clear the apps in recent apps.

Can you elaborate 2nd and 3rd option?

By flash region zip you mean to locate the file in sd card and flash it? What do u mean by update.zip

Is there any web tutorial link you can provide?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Extinguished:
Thanks for the reply, but that's not quite the problem. I can make the app stay on, the phone's accelerometer stops sending info after I shut off the screen though. I want to know if the next firmware fixed that.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zakariya tomal:
it worked :D:D:D:D:D thank you...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zakariya tomal:
anyway I still have twrp installed right?

and could you please send me a super su file to root my phone. last one I tried did not work.it said error 1.

Hi. I got this phone 2 days ago. I noticed annoying bug which drives me crazy. If I open camera app with smartkey shortcut, 'touch and hold' gesture to take a picture stops working. Tried to google if anyone else has this problem but couldn't find. Am I only one with this problem? I did factory reset but it didn't fix it. My firmware is FRD-L09C432B389.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] LemonTM:
I didn't mean 'touch to capture'.

1. Open camera app with any smart key shortcut; press, double press or press and hold.

2. Take picture with 'touch and hold gesture' with fingerprint sensor -> i.imgur.com/Qdkb0Gw.png Sorry can't post direct links as new member.

It works maybe first time you open camera app but next time it doesn't. I have to restart my phone to get 'touch and hold gesture' to work again in the camera app.

And 'touch and hold gesture' works fine every time if I don't open camera app with smart key shortcut.

FRD L02 B330 deteriorated camera quality after update.

Hi I bought this device few days back and for 1 day kept trying for OTA updates which I received none. Then I finally used Firmware Finder to find the B330 which is the latest update for my version FRD L02 (While others are already talking about B389 for other variants) , so I did B160 -> B330 following a thread where some people already did it. Now , when I open the Cameras both front and rear I find the quality of images taken after the Nougat update to be of less quality than Out of the box Marshmallow B160. Seriously there's more noise, less sharpness (even in macro shots) and front camera got less affected by it (but it did) but the rear camera performance is really not as before. I took similar snaps in same lighting conditions (inside my room ) of the same objects but there's more noise and less clarity .

Can anyone confirm this , if this problem is with your device also, please compare marshmallow and nougat camera samples.

I hope this can be resolved, thanks in advance.

Can you post here some comparisons?

Honor 8 and Android Auto not working.

Any ideas on why Android auto doesn't work with my Kenwood head unit ddx9903s?

I've tested an iPhone 6 and car play works. But not my honor 8. I've enabled developer and us debugging. Enabled MTP by default, but no Android auto appears. It will show on my phone screen as on and working. But not on the Kenwood.

I need a hand with a weird little quirk. When I use an audio app (Google play works fine) such as Audible or CastBox and lock the screen the app will stop playing. I've given these apps special permissions to ignore battery optimisation and it's been whitelisted on the lock screen cleaning list. Wiped my partition cache and even wiped the phone manager's data to reset it. Any ideas?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ASW1:
I am looking for a new phone. I like the hardware of the Honor 8 but will want to root+custom rom.

Quickly browsing through the topics here, I see several references of something not being quite right with encryption, but I can't figure out exactly what the issue is.

If somebody could give a short simple summary of what the issue is with encryption I would most appreciate that.

I do want a custom rom but I do want to be encrypted.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Encryption doesn't work because it requires a little something extra that needs to be given by Huawei, but they don't do.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ASW1:
So custom rom means no encryption possible.

How about emui + root?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Root works fine.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ASW1:
Sorry, let me rephrase that.

If I were to root but not install a custom rom, does encryption still work?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Yes. ;)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Yes it works. But be sure if it goes into bootloop for installing incompatible versions of supersu
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Daz right.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ASW1:
So is there a specific version of Supersu for honor 8 to prevent a bootloop? How can I tell which versions of supersu are compatible?
