[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ranismo:
I had a honor 8 months ago , it was cool but with some issues , one of the main issues were:

Auto brightness ON ,time to go the bed,no lights but auto brightness was not working properly cause of the level never goes to the minimun , I needed to go manually to brightness and move to the minimun , the next day move it to Auto manually.

It happened with Android 6 or Nougat, wipes ,restore,, rollback .. always the same issue.

Anyone with this same issue?

I thinking to come back to the honor but this kind of issue is weird.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mashraf92:
I re-flash the firmware via dload but still issues persists

Hi Guys,

I'm having issues with my GPS.

It can't find my exact location. I tried to use gps status but the app can't find any satellites ... even after deleting A-GPS data ...

This is really weird cause I've just came back from Japan and I still have japanese commercials on my free apps ...

It's like my phone thinks i'm still in Japan ...

I also delete cache for all applications which give me japanese commercials and and use location but nothing changed ...

Do you have any solutions ?

Thank you ! :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
I have auto brightness on all day and I don't face such an issue. Maybe u can try and download castro and check what the ambient light sensor reports in the dark room. Mine says 0.0 lux and urs should say the same too in a dark room.

I have an honor 8 AL10, Chinese version, today I changed the oeminfo to EVA-l09 it was a mistake, I had and I installed TWRP and tried to flash another rom but I cleaned all data including, system, data, completely everything. And now I have a great brick, I have not been able to repair, I have tried in many ways. I need help friends, I would appreciate it. The mobile does not update the firmware by eRecovery, nor by dload, I need help.

Now, appears

Error Mode

Attention

Please update system again

(Android Logo)

Error!

Func NO: 11 (recovery image)

Error NO: 2 (load failed)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
[MENTION=8439454]sealvin[/MENTION] as confirmed by me and [MENTION=6355400]gopinaidu77[/MENTION] if in Castro it shows 0.0 lux u should be just fine. If it doesn't show 0.0 then u probably have a hard ware issue.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
It sometimes shows 1.0 and goes to 0.0 cant seem it as a hardware issue . If it goes beyond ,we can say that.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sealvin:
Thank you for the reply .

Where can I find this information in Castro ? Is it in "other" menu ? :/
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Yes go to others and then sensors.

I was considering to downgrade to marshmallow since i have frp lock issue.

My phone's bootloader is unlocked. Will it cause any problem if i follow the dload method to rollback
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sighted:
A first-day Honor 8 user (me) in trouble:

Trying to update my Honor 8, in the original updater, I selected "full packages only" and downloaded the newest option availabe. The updater downloaded something (aprox 2 Gbs) installed, restarted and now I'm caught in a bootloop (On, Honor Logo, Off, On, Honor Logo, off) eventualy it goes to e recovery , but it can't find any firmware to download.

The box and All tags on the phone indicates the AL00 model (chinese), but it boot up with a EMUI 5.0 , android 7.0 and Firmware FRD-AL19 (was it debranded originally?) android security patches were dated January 2017.

No root, no unlock, used for about 1 hour before trying this update.

Any help will be extremelly appreciated!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Have a replacement immediately. This problem shouldn't happen on a new phone with no modifications done.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zakariya tomal:
Could anyone find me the link of marshmallow firmware of honor 8? I have honor 8 FRD L09 c185 Middle east version.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zakariya tomal:
Downloaded that

Now i can't find the follback package for C185 emui 4.1 :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sighted:
Yes, I bought from GearBest and the box states it as FRD-Al00c00. As I turned it on, it contained de AL09 firmware (my mistake I wrote L19 before), EU branded EMUI 5.0 android 7.0 (on settings, about phone, it stated FRD-09 something I dont remember, but think B366, android patch Jan 2017). Then my karma began: Tried to update, it stated "no updates" but on the menu there was an option "full package" that showed an frd-al09 update. So I did it. Now it only reboots, shows the Honor logo and animation, then turns off and goes to E recovery mode and It can't find any suitable firmware by wifi, neither can I on Hisuite (not availabe device).

I can flash a new firmware by dload folder on a SD card, and I've flashed theFirmware FRD-L09C432B381, but the same problem happens again. Does anyone know a L09 version that surely works on L00 models? I'm here for any possible flashing. If possible include the link ;).

Obs: All these things happened when the phone was in Brazil and it still is. Thanks so much for all the help provided.

I've been trying to figure this out and I've been getting mixed results, but does Xposed work on the FRD-L14/Nougat? And if it does, does anyone have instructions on how to install it?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
It has a 50/50% chance of working since Xposed is still pretty unstable for now.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Numerics:
Is it unstable specifically for the Honor 8, or is Xposed unstable for Nougat? Is it being actively developed to be stable (for the Honor 8)?

Also, I asked this the other day, but is this compatible with the Honor 8, or was that thread posted in the wrong section? I want all of those functions on my phone - especially the ability to disable the max-volume warning - but I can't find anything. :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Xposed is unstable on AOSP/LOS based ROMs. Even more in EMUI I'm sure because usually Xposed si the most stable in vanilla Android.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
And I wish rovo89 publishes the stable version of it. Been longing for Xposed for almost a year now.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Numerics:
I just realized I forgot to link the thread I was talking about. Here it is.

I want those functions for my Honor 8. Will that mod work with the FRD-L14? Or did that person post that in the wrong section? If he did post it in the wrong section, is there anything that exists like that for the Honor 8?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
Maybe the firmware is not available in HiHonor but have you tried Huawei's website or ConsumerHuawei's website? Because Honor doesn't care about firmware in my country also. But still, I managed to get mine from ConsumerHuawei(not Huawei.com).

Have you tried already?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
It should work fine. Just take a backup before trying.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
If you are asking for Honor 9's firmware then I would like to say it's not yet released in my region, that means there is no way to get it in support websites of my region. But if you want honor 8's rollback package then here is my region's one.

BTW if you are in honor 9 then why would you need a rollback package? It had EMUI 5.1 out of the box. So just the original firmware is enough. Isn't it?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
I don't know if I can. I wish I had my computer so I could translate the Chinese page of Huawei and see everything. BTW I think [MENTION=8331950]venugopalu007[/MENTION] has it already(he's super Indian you know)

Honor 8 won't have to move apps ti external SD card any fix for this problem without rooting the device??????

Without rooting there's no way u can do move apps to the external SD.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pijes:
Why do you want to move apps to sd card?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Muhanned:
I have big apps and i want to make more space in my phone
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
No, adoptable storage isn't enabled in honor 8 by default , I don't think you can enable it without root.

Maybe it can be enabled by adb
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:
No, we cannot install through adb to sd card.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Better use custom ROMs instead if you badly want adoptable storage.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pijes:
One thing about adopted storage is that you need the phone to access the sd card content. If you brick your phone, I believe there's no way to read the sd card unless you have backed up the encryption key beforehand.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venugopalu007:

I just used the reset function in the administrative settings and now TWRP is missing and FRP is locked. I can't restore to my old twrp backup without twrp. :crying::crying: does anyone know how to fix this?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Numerics:
I can boot to stock recovery, yes. I can get to fastboot and it still says I am unlocked, but FRP is locked so I can't use any useful ADB commands. I can't install TWRP because I get an error about it not being allowed probably due to FRP being locked. I think it was something like "flash recovery remote: not allowed".

The only issue with 'stock recovery' is that whenever I try to do a fresh install, it only gives me google voice as a keyboard. i.e. it won't have a touch-keyboard for some reason.

Currently, it's up and running but it's not working fully. the voice function is messed up. Every time I try to make a call, it hangs up on my end but continues to dial the number. I really just want to use my old stable twrp backup image.

NVM. I fixed it using this thread.

I had to in order to disable FRP security. When I relocked my phone, it allowed me to reset and wipe all accounts associated with the phone and start again. I originally had to do so because I messed up the stock rom and needed to roll back but it wouldn't allow me to.

Is it possible to get back lockscreen music controls in EMUI5 with Huawei SmartCover? It is gone after the update to EMUI5 :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] FreeLineTM:
Tried rooting Honor 8 running Nougat and EMUI 5.0 and now I can't boot

I installed Nougat and EMUI 5.0 via the HiCare app on my FRD-L09. I had it running perfectly, then I decided I wanted to root. I hazzled around and finally got TWRP working, but I don't remember completely what happened, but something happened and I accidentally deleted the system partition. I have tried downloading the firmware for my phone and putting it on the sdcard in dload and then press Power + Volume Up + Volume Down. Unfortunately this failed immediately and I got something like "Install failed. Incompatible with your version." I still have access to TWRP so I tried flashing different firmwares (Marshmallow Downgrade Package, Nougat Firmware, Marshmallow Firmware) but they all failed. When I try to boot the phone now, I press the power button when it says my device can't be trused blah blah blah and it just says "Your device is booting now..." forever until it reboots and the same happens. Altough I can still access TWRP with Power + Volume Up.

So my question is, how do I get my phone back to stock firmware?

Phone hangs at bootloader. Can reboot but doesn't respond to fastboot or recovery key combinations. Any ideas besides warranty?

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

Whatever you do, don't relock your bootloader, or you will end up in my situation from the post above. :)

I had a running but faulty system after i messed around with data partition, then i tried to restore stock recovery with huawei multi-tool and ended up in your position. tried to unbrick with multitool (by using it to restore B131 firmware). This didn't help, so i tried relocking bootloader to be able to use hisuite or huawei eRecovery and i ended up in my situation. My last hope is some method i haven't heard of. Or that I'll be able to put it into fastboot by plugging the usb cable with vol- once the battery drains, because now it's hanging, I can't even switch it off and it's getting really hot.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] FreeLineTM:
I fixed my problem yesterday. For some reason I could flash an India version of B302 I think it was via TWRP and then I had a working OS. Then I used the rollback package and installed the Marshmallow firmware and then upgraded to Nougat again through the inbuilt updater.

Good luck with fixing your phone! ?

Definitely. The Honor 8 gives a lot for the money and it's my best phone purchase. Only downside is that it has EMUI and that would be a big change for someone coming from stock android..

You will get better screen , mutch better camera , louder speaker ..

Specs are also better but EMUI is not polished like stock android , but to be fair EMUI 5.0 is a lot closer to stock android :)

Whit nova launcher that I had on my nexus 5 I feel at home on honor :)
