[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Old friend:
Does anyone know why it shows me that wi-fi is constantly on, though I never use it because I have a flat internet at my rate?

I think that's a lot of waste on the battery.

Which model and what firmware version?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Who told you that ota works on twrp . You need to flash the stock recovery, stock boot, unroot and then install ota.

Or dload the entire firmware from FF site for b399.

I can't change themes

Hi! Ever since I have bought my phone I can't change my themes, I download them and when I press apply the app closes and the icons refresh but nothing changes. I can manually change the wallpapers but no matter what I do I can't change the icons, the lock screen style and the fonts. I haven't done anything to my phone like root it, or manually update or unbrand it and the like. It is just like how I bought it. Also magazine unlock doesn't work. Does anyone gave a similar problem? (My build number is FRD-AL00C00B380 if it helps you and I have bought it in august and every time I want to see if there are any updates it quickly says there aren't any)

FRD-L09 Firmware FRD-L09C432B399
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Numerics:
So, I unlocked and rooted my phone a while back, but I cannot update anymore after doing so; along with other issues, like not being able to use Snapchat and Android Pay, it doesn't seem worth keeping it unlock/rooted for me, personally. What's the easiest/most painless way of rolling back my phone to its factory settings?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] EXETHOR:
Hi there.

I managed to write a FRD-L19 ROM version on a FRD-L09C4 device by mistake...Noob....

As a result the bluetooth, fingerprint, and camera no longer working.

Reflash-ed over with TWRP the FRD-L09 C432B318 i think, and managed to get back the above, minus the bluetooth which no longer have the adress(it shows as unavailable...Right now i am on the last version 399 which updated fine through OTA after re-locking the bootloader.

Is there anyone that can give a proper way of resolving this? The device is owned by my wife ? and she is no longer able to use the bluetooth headset...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] EXETHOR:
Is really no -one reading this forum anymore??? ???....
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] EXETHOR:
Already tried, even with rollback to Android 6.0 did not "woke" up the bloody bluetooth....I think this is a learning fact for me, because i did not bother to make a backup image of the working version before....
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Just dload the full stock firmware. It will take care of everything. No need to flash any other thing, just full firmware version via dload method.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] moein_hz72:
I have simple and fun question

how exactly should flash stock roms?

there are 2files : one update.zip and update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip

there are some file and folder inside them beside update.app

how should i flash theme? i seems that they are necessary

and second question :

how should i download from FF? for example i decide to download X.build number

after pressing download,3options are appearing,what are the differences?

and third question :

which one of firmware that appear in ff are flashable with twrp?

thanks and sorry for bad english
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
1- just extract the zip and you will get update.app and few folders. Put all in a folder name dload and flash via dooad method. (More details in my signature for dload method)

2- you can download via FF app on phone, app on PC or FF website. Then use proxy to push update to your updater. (Check FF guide in guide section)

3- only firmware labelled as fullOTA-MF PV is flashable via Twrp (flash small file abc_xyz_data.zip first as the update.zip later as update.zip may replace your twrp sometimes)

GUYS in planning to buy a new Honor 8. Can anybody of you share the latest ANTUTU Score of the mobile..?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Last time I checked(November 2017.) it was 97000 on Nougat. But Antutu really isn't that important factor. If you ain't gonna play a lot of demanding games, this phone will really fly through everything, I use it very heavily and never ever experienced any slowdowns.

In comparison with my friends Galaxy S8, very similiar speed, can't say Honor is slower.

Hope I helped.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
Thanks for you advice. I own a lot of Moto devices and just want to try a diffrent brand. I was thinking for the new Mid-Range Honor 9 lite , Honor 7X both with Kirin659 around 12K. But Honor 8 is avaibale on a huge discount and u can get one for the same price.

I knoe its has a good Soc than these mid-range phones , the main thing for which i want Antutu score is to compare with my current Moto X Force yet i know thats not gonna make much sense.

The main thing im confused about is the Software , Updates and the dual.cameras and all which these mid-range offer.

Honor 9 lite comes with the Android O OOB while Honor 7X will recieve Android O EMUI 8.0. i think these support Project -Treble too due to Android O OOB.

There was some news that Honor 8 would not be updated to Android O.

Im not very much fond of Custom Skins like EMUI/MIUI/Touchwizz etc.. (thats is the reason i choose moto devices)

but i also don't know about the Custom Rom support soo that i can get clean Android experience and Android O support Tooo.

Soo IS IT A GOOD CHOICE TO PICK HONOR 8 IN 2018..?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Emui-either you love it or hate it. I personally love it, many helpful things you can find on emui.

Updates- well, today Honor announced that Oreo will come to honor8 but in Europe! Don't know for India.

Camera-i think this camera is very good, at least for my needs.

It's up to you. These are pros: solid camera, solid screen, very fluid and fast; cons:there aren't many custom roms, emui for someone, not so decent battery life, software upgrades(since it is almost 2 year old phone)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Silent_Killer2121:
What about unlocking the bootloader>rooting>relocking bootloader. Just for Debloating and advanced kernel adjustments.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] trainpunk:
the kernel adjustments will keep working only if you maintain root access therefore you can't....as for debloating i am pretty sure once you relock the bootloader again it will go back to stock meaning all changes will revert
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] radhaddiab:
What's thaaaat brothers

It happened all of a sudden
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Silent_Killer2121:
Will relocking bootloader also unroot the system? I was actually saying to root and then re-lock bootloader and not un-root again
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
After Re-locking you have to flash the stock rom again which would revert everything back to the way it was before , if you relock the bootloader now i thing you might get bricked.

Okay I did a factory reset to fix a problem with my phone.. I thought I had everything backed up unfortunately my text messages were not backed up and I lost the past couple of months is there anyway I can get them back it is very important. I have a Huawei Ascend h866c running a rooted version of the stock firmware. I also have a Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop with a data transfer cable so I can run a computer program if I need to use that to get texts back just make sure you only suggest free programs I'm not in a position where I can pay :) thanks for the help.

I unlocked my honor 8 bootloader, do I still get updates?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
If you are on Stock firmware you will surley get OTA Updates
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Yes you will but if you root or install twrp then it will download but not install. If you want then just unroot and install stock recovery to install
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mindthehee:
Hello PoseidonKing,

I have an Honor 8 India Version. I am confused that should i root it or not i have some questions I'll be so thankful of u'll answer them.:D

1. I want to root it and i know I'll have to unlock bootloader for it.But my Question is will I'll be able to Relock Bootloader again? If Yes Then How.

2. I want to root because i want to customize my OS to make it Awesome in Look and Feel.So Whats the best Customization i can do in a Rooted Phone?

3. And after rooting what do you think should i stick to stock Rom or i should flash any other Rom?

Thanks

Thats it for Now:p
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
1. Bootloader can be relocked by : fastboot oem lock

2.You can install several theme engines like Substratum if your Rom Supports, but i think EmUI has several customisation options itself

3.If you flash any Custom rom like LineageOS or Resurrection Remix you would get plenty of customisation options and Theme engines like Substratum also supports them. I suggest you to install a Custom rom after unlocking bcoz there is a chance OTA on Stock rom could get you Brick.

Also these roms have Stock Android Experience
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Silent_Killer2121:
Is there any other method to go back to stock recovery instead of flashing full ROM?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
Find Recovery.img in your Stock Firmware .Flash it using fastboot command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
As given above. Just to add, use Huawei extractor to extract the recovery img from update.app
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Silent_Killer2121:
Never heard of Huawei extractor. link please...

Thanks for the info btw
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Let me check, btw for a work around if you have the firmware do dload, it will be full stock without data wipe.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
I started not to like EMUI launcher(I gave it a try) so i switched to Nova(prime) since i've used nova for whole my life on Android platform.

One thing I am missing from emui on Nova is slide down to search through settings, people etc. Does anyone has some advice on how i can achive that on nova? So, not google search, i don't need to search the internet, I just need some kind of a third party app(or may be built in nova) that will search my phone in a breeze with some kind of gessture like slide down, all that on nova launcher.

Suggestions? Thanks alot.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
On home screen, press home screen again and you will get search option. Hope this is what you were looking if I am not mistaken
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
In gesture settings of Nova u can enable swipe down to app search, that should give u the basic functionality u are searching for.

If u want to make the search more advanced with features such as contact searching and direct WhatsApp message sending then u can try out this app called sesame shortcuts. It integrates into Nova and it shows up under the integrations menu of Nova. It is paid though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ninja.sesame.app.edge

Personally I use this app called Fast finder. I've set the swipe down gesture in Nova to open this app and it gives me all the functionality of sesame for free. Here's a link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.denim.fastfinder

It does everything like contact search, files search, app opening and what's great is if u need to search something it gives u options between the google app, browsers or even YouTube.

It doesn't even drain the battery or unnecessarily run in the background. Highly recommended!

Fingerprint + sequence unlock

Hello guys, i have a big issue with my new honor 8 updated to EMUI 5.0.1 with android version 7.0 .

I need to unlock my phone with the fingerprint + sequence, but if i active the sequence the fingerprint is disabled and i active the fingerprint i can only choose PIN or PASSWORD, is there a way to have both ?

On my old Nexus 5x i always had them both, thanks

You can only set a PIN or password if you want to use fingerprint. Thats just how EMUI works unfortunately.

Hi! I am now facing a problem with play store.

I have rooted my phone and installed opengapps through twrp. Installation was done successfully, then I downloaded Play store apk from APKMirror and installed. Everything seemed going well but whenever I try to open play store, it crashes. I have tried to reach any solution for this but couldn't find one so I'm here to ask your help.

Here are the details that I have installed as long as I remember.

Phone version:

Build FRD-AL10C00B377

Android 7.0

EMUI 5.0

Opengapps:

ARM64

Android 7.0

nano and pico (tried all packages, Aroma and stock didnt work because of error code 70)

Am I missing something in order to make it work properly?

and 1 more thing. My phone shows latest update is available (B396). I tried to update then TWRP shows up instead of normal system update screen.

Is it possible to uninstall TWRP from phone then re-install it?

Thank you for your helping. I am not a native speaker of English. So if you don't understand or, have any question, please ask me.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
I think Gapps are preinstalled in all stock roms , OpenGapps are nessesery only when you are installing Custom Roms.

Also when installing OpenGapps, Play Store gets automatically Installed to /System , you domt need to mannualy install it.

Phone FW gets updated through Recovery so when you are trying to apply the update the TWRP boots up instead of your System Update screen , which is the part of your Stock Recovery.

If you want to get Updated through OTA Flash the Stock Firmware again (not Bootloader i think so :confused: you would grt bricked) and then update , again install TWRP and Flash only Magisk.zip
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] iamsostupid:
Thank you for the reply.

FRD-AL10 has none of google apps pre installed since al10 is Chinese version of stock rom. It uses hiapp appstore by huawei. All I want to do is install bootable play store so I can freely access to other applications of mine.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
Try Gapps Aroma Version and install ONLY CORE GAPPS from it (or) Mico pakage , but i dont think so that you have to Mannualy install playstore , its installed to /System (Velvet.apk) by default

It worked!
