Hello.

Can I unblock USA Huawei Honor 8 using a code from hwid5.vmall com When I try to create an ID there it doesn't give me USA as an option.

I also read in the comments that there are no official developments for USA versions of Honor?

My model is Honor 8 FRD-L04 EMUI 5.0 Android Version 7.0.

Also, my main reason right now is to root the phone so I can do a backup in case my phone would break and I need to reinstall my apps. My main app I want to have a backup is Google Authenticator. I want to backup and have an access to the files this guy mentions in this video: youtu be/ioLEV0z1qCI?t=132 (I don't have 10 posts so forum doesn't allow me to post a link. Please put dot between youtu and be)

If there is another way how I can have those backups I would appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Another question , carbon ROM update completed??
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dancelad:
Thank you I registered and received the code.

I see that unlocking will wipe all my data. However my whole reason to unlock and root is to actually make a backup of my current apps, specifically Google Auth.

Will I be able to use the same Google Auth app after Unlocking and rooting, or I will have to install everything again?

What are the best ways to backup everything before unlocking Huawei Honor 8?

Thank you.

It's not a branded device. Bought it from amazon and using my own SIM.

I did not make any major modifications besides freezing some system apps with TiBu, but I unfroze them.

When I use the system update option from the settings app it runs through but aborts at the last package and when it boots up after that I'm still on 360.

Is the problem the unlocked bootloader? Should I relock it?

I'm looking for a way to update without loosing all of my data, but if I have to I could deal with it.

[MENTION=8331950]venugopalu007[/MENTION]

Which version of the firmware are these links?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
They are L09 packages. Can i know your device model?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i0nsn0w:
I have a FRD-L09C432B360, it is a Honor 8 in 32gb.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
So , the error comes after the final package download right?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i0nsn0w:
Yes. It downloads the package, reboots into the upadte mode, says it verifys and installs the package; and at the second or third package it says the updacte could not be completet and the phone reboots normally to the system.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
After the 3rd package is downloaded, it will ask u to imstall. Just click later and goto sdcard/hwouc/code/files.

Download the third package from venugopal's link and copy , replace in above folder. Later to and click om quick update in settings/update. Check if it installs now
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] valp88:
Hey guys, I bought a Honor 8 from gearbest. It has FRD-L19C636B360 and there's no OTA for me. I'm in Brazil, do you guys think that this will prevent OTA updates because of the region?

I used Firmware Finder and saw there's FRD-B391 around, shouldn't I be getting these updates through OTA? The phone's security patches are from december 2016...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Can you see which version is mentioned on the box ?? because some sellers sells the rebranded devices version, If the Al00 or dl00 is mentioned on your box ,then your device wont be Updated over B360.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sniperlife:D:
Is your device brand new?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
he mentioned "gearbest" is site where new devices are selled.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] valp88:
The box says FRD-AL10, there also says "2017.03" among the chinese characters.

Ther order itself is named "Huawei Honor 8 FRD-AL10 64GB ROM Smartphone".

Yes, I recently received it and just syncd with my Google account.

By the way, I was having quite a battery drain overnight (the reason why I'm interested in newer updates), but disabling auto update has significantly reduced the draining. Anyway, when I search for updates on the phone, it won't retrieve any.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Damn! Sad to say that you are not able to get the updates over b360.:(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
:crying: you won't get updates after b360. And firmware finder won't help you , even though you flash the firmwares using twrp black screen will appears.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Will this happen with my rebranded L02?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] valp88:
So AL10 is a rebranded phone? It's not a real Honor 8 or something? If Huawei delivers UI 5.1 I won't receive it either? Custom ROMS also don't work?

Thanks for the info, guys, I really appreciate it.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
It is a real honor 8, and custom ROMs will work :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sniperlife:D:
It's not. You can read the threads by surdu. AL10 is included in support.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
But sellers rebranded it , wont receive updates over B360.

and yes custom ROMs will works.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sniperlife:D:
No need to relock to flash firmware. Done it several times with unlocked bootloader.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
U can still modify to let the updates work.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] carlsverdrup:
I'm on FRD-L09C432B120, rooted and bootloader unlocked. Have TWRP (will update to 5.x compatible version).

Can I download a full OTA via Firmware Finder and extract the zip-files from that, then just flash normally?

Can I use any full OTA, or do I have to go from update to update?

Will I keep root? I see that I have to install Magisk later. Or at the same time?

Which update is the best (most stable) version?

Thanks in advance
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
If on emui 4 . U can extra update.app from full ota and flash through three button trigger.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:

Just got the L14 version of this phone and trying to get educated on it. Are the firmware files for the L04 and L14 equivalent? Having the hardest time finding much dedicated to the L14 in terms of rooting, rollback packages, update.zip, etc. I'm looking to root but want to know how to dig myself out of a hole if I find mself in one.

Any feedback is appreciated.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Nope L04 and L14 are not equivalent. Yes for some reason the L14 doesn't have rollback packages on Honor US site. It seems to be a very ignored model.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
The only thing that I don't understand is, they are different only in storage, why making it a different model and have to updated alone?!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Exactly. Samsung, Motorola, Google etc. never do that. They'll have one model no. for all the storage options. This is why their updates r so fragmented. They have too many models to update!

Hey! I just want to know if you guys recommend the Honor Devices. I saved money a long time to buy a new phone, I am between Honor 9, Huawei P10 or just wait for the Moto X 4.

What do you think?! Thank you!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ultimatez906:
Honor 9 seems to be in a different Galaxy compared to the x4, at least from what I saw. Although updates are pretty shaky. Honor 8 was supposed to get 2 years but we haven't even been told if we are getting Oreo. My honor 8 has been amazing after nearly a year, I just wish updates came faster. I don't know how the updates on Motorola work so if updates are important to u, u might want that more. Try exploring some more options if u can. Honor subbrand has fantastic devices, I do recommend it but some phones aren't for certain people. It's best if u explore some more options. Different people have different wants
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
I think u should wait a little since an Android One version of the Moto X4 is rumoured to come out soon. That would be the best option since u have 2 years of guaranteed updates and 1 additional year of security patches.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ultimatez906:

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vuurtjih:

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Download the B389 firmware and flash it through dload.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] valp88:
Thanks, is there a guide for this method?

I heard about Firmware Finder + Proxy addon method to search newer updates. Would this work similarly, without the need of root or bootload unlocking?

I'm thinking about going from C636 to C432, since it seems that newer updates are rolling faster for this region. Is there a way to easily change this region (with enabled OTA updates)?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
I would say to wait for official update. FF may cause issues sometimes
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] valp88:
I live outside C636 region, maybe this will prevent the OTA update from poping up anyway, since there is a update available since april (B380) that's not available for me.

By the way, I tried dload method and got a update failure in the beginning of the procedure (just after recovery reboot).

Firmware finder proxy method enables the phone to see the B380 update, but the file shown has a negative size (-80Mb) and has some kind of download loop (won't get past 50%).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Location has nothing to do with ota. I am having China variant in India and gets update as soon as they rollout
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Just as shashank1320 mentioned, I have the US variant and I live in Kuwait. I recieved updates when I was in India and when I was in Kuwait. So definitely location doesn't matter to recieve an OTA.

Hello xda community

Just bought this phone few days ago(brand new) and I'm experiencing bad battery life(at least for me).

So, I installed those apps: Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram, Sofascore, Deezer, Uber and of course GSam Battery. These are apps that i've always used and never had problems with them in a term of battery life.

First major problem is idle. So, what the hell, first night went to sleep with 100%, woke up 7 hours later with 80%, so I went into settings and disabled wifi always on and the other night it was better but still bad, went to sleep with 100 and woke up with 87%...

Second problem is SOT, I've been using phone for messaging mostly, some browsing and taking pictures and that's it, only on WIFI and NO GAMING at all and right now I have freaking 3 hours SOT and only 26% of juice left which is awful for me. I used to have that SOT with Galaxy S6 and that phone is known to have very very VERY bad battery life..Forget to mention: loacation off, data off, bluetooth off

Do you have some advice? What can be so power-thirsty on my device?

.

In other terms this phone is a beast even in 2017. Performance is even better that on my dad's S7, camera is really good, I kinda like EMUI but battery is really starting to be a porblem for me so please help me if you can. Thank you very much.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
You just updated to EMUI 5 I suppose? Just trust me keep using ur device for another 3 days or so and it will figure itself out. When I updated to Nougat I was getting around 3 and a half hours of SOT and many users told me to factory reset but I wasn't too keen on doing so, so I didn't and continued to use my phone and sure enough within a week or so the phone started giving me the performance and battery life I wanted.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Yes, I'm on EMUI 5.0.1. Thank you for your advice.
