you can try to change the base country of the HiCare app, just go to Me > settings > location and try with Belgium or Italy for example (it will not change the language of the app!) Probably it won't work, but you don't loose a lot of time trying it :)

ok, so i need a little help. I have L09 with stock b131, rooted and twrp installed. What do i have to flash to bo back to stock? just the update.app from the rollback package or everything?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I think just the b131 full package, the rollback is only for those in an higher version.

Yes, I always advice if you do a factory reset and restore to do not restore messaging apps. In my previous Honor 7 that was always a problem, so I always install the messaging apps from scratch.

Well seriously missing the SONY phone,, from which i moved to Huawei H8,, been a sony users for ages and whenever the update arrives you can just download the firmware and flashed it via Flashtool.,, missing this part from Huawei.,

Hoping someone would be able to make something like that..,as i am impatient thought but still not confident about charles method although it seems (for the moment) that is the only solution left,, as i hit OS Update Early Adopter in HiCare about 10-15 times a day on daily basis but still nothing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
If you use the official way (via Updater) is as much easier or more easier than the sony flashtool! There is no oficial release announcement (excepto for Japan), so we must all be thankful for being so lucky to receive the update before it has been officially released. If you want the oficial easy way that you miss so much just wait until Honor officially announces the update....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
And this is where is missed SONY again., if the released has been sent to any of the region that firmware will be available and you can flash immediately to that firmware
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Again, there is no official announcement! So just wait for it, like you would have done in Sony :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
you just said it there,, YES the update is officially been announced in JAPAN https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/how-to/nougat-update-rolling-page-update-t3538954

Hi guys. Can anyone please tell me if this is the official/latest release of Android 7 or if it's an earlier beta version? The thing is that I rooted my honor 8 and then flashed this version http://www.stechguide.com/honor-8-b360-nougat-update/ I'm in doubt because before I rooted, where I was on Android 7 as well, some of the icons looked differently compared to now.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] deep865:
Hey quick question,

After formatting the data and flashing the update_data_full_hw_usa.zip many features on my phones don't seem to work. Also when I boot up the phone for the first time, I don't seem to have any keyboard, I just have the voice input.

Edit: I do have L-04, so it should be working fine, and one last question should I be flashing the update through dload?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] schosins:
I have the same issue with my now FRD-L09C432B360 after following these steps. OS works, but hardly any apps, no EMUI5. Trying to flash the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip via dload just finishes very quickly and TWRP install doesn't work either (lot's of "cannot mount /data). Also did a factory reset for each, still nothing.

If I go into TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select "Data" and Repair or Change File System, it shows 0mb for size and ext4. Resize and repair both return "/sbin/e2fsck -fp /dev/block/mmcblk0p49 process ended with ERROR: 8".

The phone is also very slow compared to EMUI4.1 and EMUI5 before attempting to root. Settings hangs several seconds every now and then.

Anyone knows how to fix this? I'd be content with no root, just a working phone. Thanks in advance!

Edit: eRecovery also doesn't work. "Getting package info failed". Is it possible to just downgrade to B131 (FULL package), or do I need to use a rollback, and if so, which one. I only found the UK one.

Edit2: I went ahead and used the UK rollback from here and the full B131 package via dload. EMUI4 worked fine and right after setting up the phone I was offered B360 again via OTA. Gonna wait a bit longer before attempting to root again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] deadko:
if you have the L09 EU, I downloaded the files from b360, but still waiting a guide to root more clear than now

Anyone in US received the official OTA?

I have the FRD-L14 version. I have tried with the latest HiCare (version 5.0.1.302) app with no luck. I tried changing region in the HiCare app and that didn't work either.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
Since I don't have broadband service at home I can't do the Charles procedure, so I manually flashed the B360 files using TWRP. I couldn't wait for Huawei to release the official update.

Come on Huawei... we FRD-L14C567 owners don't even have an official Android 6.0 zip firmware nor a rollback package that can be download from any of your support links. Not even from Hihonor.com USA.

I'm feeling very disappointed right now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaRcIuPT:
no gps button in notifications :\
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chvishnu2001:
Oh ok. I am trying to avoid flashing the ROM. I don't want to a factory reset. But looks like that the only way to get the update faster. I am disappointed too with Huawei.

You know that you can edit quick settings to suit your needs?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marko207:
Here you go. Latest emui 5.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaRcIuPT:
Lol where is the gps buttons. There is only location information and that its different. Because I use the battery saving location option and only I when I want the location wirh gps I turn that option on separately. Before emui 5.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marko207:
If you long hold on location tile then location settings are opened.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaRcIuPT:
Thats why I said. unlike before update, there is no gps button now with emui 5. Before in 1 step, now with long press and then 1 step.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marko207:
Just the name is different. I don't remember that worked like that, what you are saying. Sorry for misunderstanding.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaRcIuPT:
No problem ; ) , Yes before there was a dedicated button. Thats handy because I have location information on based on network but I dont want apps always trying to find gps based location. Only when I decide so.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chvishnu2001:

hi all

just to raise a hand here : Updated FRD-L09 nicely using HiCare App von 4.1 to 5.0. Location Germany. Details in Screenshot....

[IMG="sceenshot"]http://i.imgur.com/yWxP2Fj.png[/IMG]

Only bug i noticed so far is the notification drawer not comming down from time to time using the fingerprint sensor. Stops working randomly. If you press the fingerprint sensor once when the bug comes up the notification drawer can be pulled down again with the sensor nicely. AFAIK this was also a bug in the beta.

Beside that the battery life and overall performance seems to be pretty compareable to 4.1 to me ^^

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] conkast:
yo must rollback to Emui 4.1 (MM) and after this step update to Emui 5 Nougat via Charles (B360). You probably set wrong breakpoint.

Rollback

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] freemannhp:
I m afraid that roll back zip only works from nougat to MM. You maybe can try dload stock B162 firmware then use Charles method to upgrade to B360.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chvishnu2001:
Oh wow. Good I haven't tried the roll back yet. And at this point, i might just root and flash the update.

Do you think if I wait, I'll get the update from honor? Or I messed with the update too much??

You may can wait for full B360 firmware and use dload method to upgrade.

TWRP

I have TWRP installed on my L04 right now which is running EMUI 4.1. I am not getting the update. Does TWRP prevent me from getting the OTA. If I do happen to get it, does it install simply. I unrooted my phone, but TWRP and my unlocked boot loader still remain...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I think that flashing the OTA via the oficial methods it will replace your recovery with stock and relock your phone.

So after the update is done, if you wish to continue with your phone unlocked, you should unlock your phone again (it will do a factory reset).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] deadko:

Question update B360 ?

Hello i'm quiet new and I have a question :fingers-crossed:

I got my Honor 8 yesterday (FRD-L09C432B131), unlock the bootloader with the code, install TWRP and SuperSU

Today I see there are not many rom custom etc.. and I saw the EMUI 5 released. So I got on Hicare and I can update I think : It found FRD-L09C432B360 :angel:

Sould I just update ? or Do i need to lock again my phone etc... or maybe I can flash the B360 ^^' ?

Thanks for help
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I replied to that I think 4 posts ago!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] remi13014:
I'm reading the entire post but i don't know really what to do, I heard about Charles method/ dload method...

I think I will lock again and updare by hicare but i'm affraid ^^'
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
So, as I said 5/6 posts before, if you update via OTA you will end up with stock recovery and phone locked!

The Charles method is for those who can't get the update via HiCare! If you have it, just do it. Don't over-think :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] remi13014:
So I will just update via HiCare ( without lock my the bootloader before), it will not brick the phone or whatever

then I do again the unlock, twrp etcc, right ?

sorry for hte question :crying:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
If you want to have root and TWRP after updating to Nougat I suggest you to check this post and follow those instructions (as you already have b131, just follow the link in that post and follow the instructions)

And use this files:

update.zip

update_data_full_hw_eu.zip

I recommend you to do a factory reset before starting the whole procedure.

Read and follow the instructions carefully, it's very clear and easy if you do it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eksasol:
Got tired of waiting, used Charles method, now the phone is very good. It actually gone from unusable for me to being very usable.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
I would say update your phone to EMUI 5 use the custom themes and fonts that are available and enjoy your phone.

Just coz it's an android phone you hadn't got to root it !

Do you need your phone to be able to do something that requires root ?

If so then root it if not what's the point ?

The custom ROMs and TWRP are not ready yet.

They will be so enjoy your phone for what it is and when the guys have made the ROM (which they will)

Then you have the option to root

At this point I am on 6.0 on my Honor 8 and have rooted my phone to experience xposed module. So even if my Honor 8 is rooted, I will still be getting OTA update for Nougat (Android 7.0)?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eksasol:
Past experience tells me it will and then fail to install because of modified system partition (and recovery).

Someone made a TWRP flashable Nougat update here (for L04 model). But you will lose Xposed mod of course.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] remi13014:

Charles

So I got Nougat, but I used the charles method to get B360. Will I be able to get regular OTA updates from now on or what
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dhriak:
So from what you said I understood is that the nougat update will get download via OTA, but it wont get installed on my phone because of the system partition which has been created during the root process.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nivity:
Got the OTA update for L09 Sweden by going into hi-care and pressing something :D

Anyway, there is still no possible way to get Xposed working on Nougat right?

Will not root and stuff before there is a stable Xposed, since xposed is the sole reason I root my device.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
I appreciate the response, but I'm already on B360. All I'm looking for is a successful root process. All I want to add is AdAway and V4A. I don't even need TWRP unless it's necessary. I've been looking on here over a month now and most of the posts have broken English with bad directions and a bunch of confusion.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Yes, it works
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
I'm having SO MANY ISSUES with these directions. I have a L04-C567B360 and I had stock Nougat and in following these directions EXACTLY there's errors.

In the step where you say to flash supersu, you don't say that you have to put it on an external SD because this version of TWRP can't read the internal memory.

Flashing supersu from SD FAILS, including an error that states "failed to mount /data"

Then you say: "Reboot recovery and Format Data". That FAILS with an insane amount of errors because it cannot mount /data partition again.

SO - that being said, how did you get it to mount the /data partition to do ANY of this if you were successful?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saythis:
Because I had no issue formatting the data partition. It doesn't need to be mounted to format it. The reason you can't mount the data partition is because it is force encrypted. Flashing SuperSu disables dm-verity, aka forced encryption. Then, you format data to get rid of the encryption. I guess that guide was written under the assumption that most people use the micro SD card.

SuperSu modifies the boot partition in a systemless install.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
I just wish I knew what you did differently. You have a FRD-L04, right? I did use the SD card to flash supersu though. Flashing supersu didn't disable dm-verity apparently.. Whenever I flash with this version of supersu it just keeps telling me "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument) ". Even if I ignore this error and move on with the instructions on rebooting back into twrp to format the data partition, I keep getting that same error over and over.
