[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] cable_guy:
Can anyone please help give me some confidence in my next steps?

I want to try this ROM "[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][AOSP][7.1.2] Carbon ROM for HONOR8[14.07.2017] " due to the fact it looks the most pure Android I can find on the first page of this forum.

1) I unlocked the bootloader last night

2) I need to flash TWRP using [SPOLIER]adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot[/SPOILER]

3) I wipe everything, then flash the ROM I want from TWRP

Is that right?

the only questions I had was

1) Why do people in the ROM thread talk about flashing "RR" first to make stuff work? what is RR and do I need it?

2) Do I need to flash SuperSU before installing the ROM? If I can get away without being root i'd prefer to

Hey guys, I have my Honor 8 in FRD-L19C432B360 for months now. Running it stock after some subpar cfw experiences.

Thing is, it hasn't received anymore updates since it got to B360, after an update from the rollback package (B131 I think).

What to do? Firmware-Finder says that FRD-L19C432B562 (8.0.0.562) FULLOTA-MF-PV 2018.10.11 2,439GB is approved for installation, when I ask for firmware access.

It also says that B398 and other higher firmwares are approved, but they just don't come up when I ask for updates in the configs.

Is there a way to download this firmware and install it safely from dload? Without the need to unlock bootloader and install twrp? Can I go from B360 to B562, or I have to go through all the full-ota-mf-pv on the way?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vaironl:
Hello all,

I have an Honor 8 (FRD-L14, EMU 5.0.4) I really loved this phone the first couple of months I had it, but I have changed my mind recently since there have been all sorts of software issues occurring. The main problem being that it will not remember preset volume levels. So if I want to hear some music on speaker phone in my office, but I had my bluetooth headphone volume at a higher level, it might or might not go back to the lower preset speaker volume.

I also had an issue where it would open Amazon music randomly. I had to delete the app, which was not my ideal choice, but now I do not have that random issue.

I am now afraid of finding out what's the next problem the phone will throw at me and am not entirely sure if installing a custom ROM would be a good idea to fix these or if I should just switch to a different phone.

how to root Honor 8 with emui 5 without unlock bootloader?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Kimmel95:
Hello everyone!

I don't know what to do anymore. I've got the FRD-L09 and updated to the latest 8.0.0.562 (C432) Oreo version. Everything worked perfect until I tried to install the Vanced Youtube app via Magisk. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop and no matter what I try it won't start anymore. I tried the dload method but it stops after 5%. I also tried the unbrick option in Multitool but when I select the Update.app via Huawei Update Extractor I get the error message "RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img: Invalid header crc".

Has anyone an idea what I can try? I can still enter fastboot and my bootloader is unlocked.

Versions

Hi all,

I flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and it's installing roms just fine. however, none of them boot. I get either blank screens or boot cycles. I wipe after each installation.

However, I don't know how the version compatibilies work. I have/had EMUI 5 with android 7.0.0 installed. I'm attempting to install an RROS 7.1.2. Is that compatible? Do I need to find a ROM that matches my android version exactly?

I always thought that a custom rom WAS the new android and that it didn't depend on anything. Can someone explain this to me please?

How can I get it to stop bugging me?

I came from a Nexus 6P so I'm not used to the Huawei additions. And the phone keeps bugging me about "Screen lock data usage" and occasionally a list of apps using too much CPU/Battery and would I please close them?

I want my apps to use both data, cpu and battery - or what's the point in having a smartphone?

How can I turn this off? I find no settings in the Phone Manager app - I guess it's doing this pestering?

(I miss my 6P and the Pixel is too expensive)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Extinguished:
That stuff is there mostly to extend battery, I think but you can shut off the power intensive app one for sure. Go to settings> advanced settings> battery manager and hit the gear in the top corner. From there you'll find a toggle for the power intensive prompt. What's the exact text of the screen lock data usage one?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] christine600:
The notification says "Screen lock data usage" and it's from the Phone Manager app.

When clicked I get a list of offending apps and a checkbox to uncheck which will disable mobile data for the app.

I can't whitelist any apps so I get this over and over again for apps I want to use data.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Extinguished:
Oh, ok. I guess that was already off on my device. To get to the setting open phone manager then select traffic manager then the gear in the corner. There is an option for lock screen data traffic reminder which should be the setting you're looking for.
