[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Johnvansavage:
Question, is there a limit to how many OTAs you can do within a specified time frame?

Ok here what happened, I wanted to take the Oreo update, so I rebranded from FRD-L04C567 to FRD-L09C10 everything was fine when flashing stock N but when I flashed O I hit an error, and needed to roll back, I flashed the wrong rollback and bricked my phone, no recovies FRP locked couldn't flash anything.

So I bought the 3 day license to DC Phoenix, unbricked my phone and it left me on FRD-L04 NRD90M test keys. So I locked the bootloader, flashed the right rollback package then flashed MM B121 factory reset and now I'm all good, I checked for updates and got one after I checked again and it says there's none. I'm currently on FRD-L04C567B162, I don't want to brick again because I don't want to pay another £19 to DC Phoenix and just want to update back to the latest N.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] valp88:
I finally did it. Rollback + C432B131 package always got me to MM with C900B131.

What I had to do was to get root in MM, use Huawei Multi-Tool (that black screen one) and ask it to change vendor to EU through root method.

When the procedure finished, the system wouldn't load, asking for a decryption key for the storage.

Then I used the same dload firmware for C432B131 I had in the SD to update again the firmware.

Once this was over, the phone booted to C432B131, showing immediately the update to B360 while I was configuring it.

At last.

However, I see no OTA for further updates, sucha as B380 or Oreo.

Maybe Firmware-Finder will help me now in this new issue.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SuperSwordSmasher:
Well Maybe, The DNS And Proxy Thing Does Not Work Anymore. Use HurUpdater To Update
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Johnvansavage:
Could I go from FRD-L04C567B162 MM and to latest

FRD-L04C567B397 N with Hurupdater without any problems?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SuperSwordSmasher:
You should flash B360 first and then go to B397 just incase something goes wrong.

honor 8 stuck on erecovery,cant install firmware,and recovery.

hello to all.

I have weird problem on H8,phone reset and only go in erecovery mode,i have try install fresh firmware and phone say installation ok and then restart but return phone again in eRecovery mode.Any ideas how to resolve,try with DC unlocker but he cant recognize phone.Cant enter in recovery and fastboot.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SuperSwordSmasher:
If you want to reset and have an unlocked bootloader, restart ur phone, when the phone sees the bootloader unlocked warning hold the volume up until you got to er recovery, then select factory reset if you want to factory reset. Im pretty sure it will lock the bootloader.

Hi, noob to Honor 8 but have rooted phones previously.

1) I am struggling to remember if i've already unlocked the phone - is there a way I can tell?

2) I can't get the phone to talk to HiSuite via USB. I have a feeling I uninstalled HiSuite a long time ago, and any version from APK mirror doesn't seem to work (no icon shows up for it on the phone)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
1) you would see a bad warning at boot if you had

2) search hdb in settings and enable it if it's not
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Why this phone seems to be slower with every new update?

On Marshmallow, it was blazing fast. On nougat not so much. Now on Oreo, I can't seem to have more than 10 seconds of fluid user experience. It lags while opening apps, sliding down the notif panel, while scrolling through instagram, chrome, youtube especially. Can't seem to understand, my second phone is galaxy a6(18) with awful a53 cores and it flies on youtube, chrome, etc ..

Why my phone is so slow? I made bunch of hard resets till now, never helped..

I took it to a repair and got a second one, and actually since then, the speed drastically decreased. Could it be that they gave me some s***? I checked and on Antutu got 130 000, those kind of results should fly through Chrome and Youtube..
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] duckiesauce:
HELP! I tried updating my FRD-L04 to Emui 8 and Oreo, then now I'm here begging for help because I have:

1) Bootloader relocked and FRD locked

2) No recovery

3) No TWRP

4) Bootloop with errors at the bootloader

5) Now stuck at bootloader and can't execute any fastboot commands, keep getting the follow:

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

Any help would be appreciated, I just need to get back to any state for a working phone. Don't need to be on Oreo anymore. I have a Nandroid from Nougat RResurect ROM that I can restore.

I tried flashing that twrp in fastboot (command prompt) and still gives me that FAILED (remote: Command not allowed). Just double checking, this is what I used "fastboot flash recovery twrp_bkl_0.7.img" Is that correct?

I flashed Oreo the first time and it locked my bootloader and wasn't able to get any google play services or play store. So in my attempt to flash it again this happens :crying:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] duckiesauce:
Nope, just the error page or bootloader. I can't even turn off the phone. Holding down the power button just makes it bootloop on the error page.

Hello!

So i had a honor8 (FRD-L09C432B407 , EMUI 5.0.3) . I wanted to install oreo update via Hisuite , it failed , phone rebooted.I forced updated my phone via dload(i dont know witch version, FRD-L09C432B399 i think ) to go back to stock rom and than rebooted and said that data is corrupt , i factory reseted my phone . Now system update tells me that i have FRD-L09C432B407,( EMUI 5.0 not EMUI 5.0.3 as usual) but i dont have its features ( Deleted photos are no longer moved in "deleted recently" i cant find clock app, lookscreen is not the same, probably outdated one,missing Huawei apps) HiCare tell me that i have the last update , hisuite aswell .Can you help me please?

Thank you!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Frajosis:
Hey guys! First of all sorry for my bad english, its terrible ;) Sometimes I will translate from google translator, so keep that please in mind.

I have questions about my Honor 8. I own 2 of them. But the first I had since august 2017 is broken now, Display crashed. So I bought a second hand one online, which looks brand new.

My problems with this new phone are weird. It came with Oreo update, so there was no need to update myself. I notice some "laggy" scrolling overall. No matter what kind of scrolling it will be. My older Honor 8 has not such a "stuttering" while scrolling. In Browser or just in gallery watching photos - always I see some kind of blur like on TVs sometimes, motion blur. The performence itself is really awesome, no probs. Its hard for me to describe what I mean, especially in english, but this makes me nuts!

2.) Is there a way to rollback from Oreo to nougat/marshmallow whitout root? I need to have my phone unrooted because of retourning it to the seller. Perhaps the laggy scrolling issue will be gone on nougat or marshmallow. I just want testing it.

If anyone can help, please do. Im german - just for information.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Ok. We have 2 options to get this fixed.

1- dload the data file but have seen that works sometime but not most of the time.

2- this is your best possibility of getting everything back. If you have the unlock code, probably the best thing you could try now is to install twrp, check for the data file for your current version (B407) amd flash via twrp. It should bring back your updater, cloxk, alarms, themes etc and everything and phone should work just fine.

Try and provide feedback. Good luck

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Welcome and dont worry your English and translation both are just fine and is easy to understand.

1- have you done factory reset, if not, possibly you could try and see the behaviour of scrolling. Also, keep animation off from developers option(click build number in about phone section 7 times, go back and you will see developers option, scroll sown and turn off the animation).

2- use dload merhod and flash full firmware to be on full oreo stock (dload method given in my signature)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Frajosis:
Thank you for answering me! I dont want to stay at oreo, I want to rollback to nougat, android 7.1.

Factory reset, cache etc. already done 2 times before. I really dont know if its a "future" from Honor oder not. Maybe Im too sensitive ... also it could be a hardware-issue as well.

Animations off didnt help me ;(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Check for hwota 7 if available. But it will require an unlock bootloader.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Frajosis:
Ok, but when I open the bootloader, my warranty will quit. Thats why I dont want to do experiments like this ;)

Only official Firmware I can find is marshmallow on the Honor-Webpage.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
You could unlock but lock easily via dload and warranty will remain.

There are firmware available on firmware finder that you could flash but you need to use hwota method. Let me check this for you and will come back as soon as i can
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Hi,

Flash this file via dload- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...l/FRD-L09_hw_eu/update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip

if after flash you are still unable to see the updater, clock and have the bootlaoder unlock code, you can flash this via TWRP and it should fix the issue. In case you still have the issue, let me know and I will see for other file, probably full firmware of another version.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Robertzzel:
Hi!

Sorry for my foolishness but:

I have to extract the zip into a dload folder on my sd card right?

If this don't work i have to flash via twrp the entire zip right?

Thank you!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Yes. Dload method is given in my signature below this post. You need to extract and out all the contents to dload folder on sd card.

For 2nd case, you can directly flash zip via twrp.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Robertzzel:
Hi!

First step failed.

Second kinda failed , so :

...done

First boot the phone was stuck in boot ,but after i hold the power key it rebooted .And the wallpaper was the one before I "bricked" the phone . With themes that I installed and some huawei apps .Now system update says that I still have emui 5.0 , HiCare still says i have last update , Hisuite as well.I can's see the clock app and "deleted recently" folder.

What can i do?

Thank You!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Is clock, Updater, themes working fine? If so, we may see the other higher versions and update the phone. I see some higher versions are there on firmware finder app whoch we can try. Also we can try updating to oreo as oreo firmware is there as well.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Robertzzel:
I don't have notes, clock and smart remote. Themes is working fine I guess. I don't see EMUI app in drawer. But in settings I still have FRD-L09C432B407. EMUI version is still 5.0 not 5.0.3 as usual.

After searching on google error 7 occours when i am flashing a incompatibile rom right? But it was a good Rom. What does IT mean.?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Checking for other variant and will update.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Robertzzel:
Hi!

Maybe flashing full stock ROM will fix the problem?

Thank you!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
It should mostly. Try for any higher version with FullOTA-MF file from firmware finder and flash update.app (via dload) and data.zip (via dload or TWRP) and it should be fully functional with stock ROM.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Robertzzel:
Should wipe dalvik /ART cache, Cache, Data, Internal storage, system and vendor partitions before flashing the ROM?

Thank you!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
No. You should just flash the small data file first via TWRP and then use dload for update.app as update.app will replace your TWRP with stock recovery so doing this first will need more work for flashing TWRP.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Robertzzel:
Hello!

Hopefully this is my last question:

I have an Honor 8 with build number FRD-L09C432B407(emui 5.0.3). My phone was rooted and twrp installed. I wanted oreo update so I tried flash via dload update.app idk witch version of my phone. After flashing my data was corrupted so I factory reseted the phone. After boot I saw that the updater said that I still have FRD-L09C432B407 but with emui 5.0 and missing apps like calculator, notes, tv remote, clock, huawei health, backup etc. My lockscreen was older and in the themes app i could find only themes for emui 3.0.0 and 3.0.1. I flashed via twrp update_full_frd-l09_hw_eu.zip for b407. Error 7 occurs. After first boot i was stuck on honor screen. After i rebooted the phone the themes for 5.0.1,huawei apps, and lockscreen came back, but clock, calculator, smart remote still missing. Emui updater, Hicare and hisute says that i have the last update. Now what can I do in order to bring back my phone to original state?

Also, should I be getting monthly updates after Oreo, or are we in the dark now?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] JohnTx12:
Lost

So I haven't unlocked, rooted, or done anything other than factory updates through the phone itself. For whatever reason, my phone doesn't recognize my pin anymore so I have to factory reset it. The problem is I can't get into recovery mode. Whenever I power down the device and then hold the up and down volume buttons, the phone instantly boots into recovery and begins trying to install an update (I have no idea where from...) and fails at 5%, only giving me the option to reset the device.

I can't find any solutions as they all seem to include re-flashing which everything I've found requires having unlocked the bootloader which I can't do because I can't get into the phone.
