I just got an answer from the honor UK rep.

The 360 IS Final !

Some got bigger updates than others depending on if they were in the beta group or not.

I have not had a good look through the update as yet, it doesn't look much different from the beta but then it wouldn't look different its off it performs different.

I will test mine over the next few days and see.

Its good to even that honor stuck to thier promises and gave the N update and before February.

Good news for future updates.

I also asked about plans for VoLTE support but they have not answered that as yet

L04 TWRP on EMUI 5.0 anyone?

Hey all I got the update a couple of days ago and finally updated it yesterday evening. Unfortunately Bluetooth refuses to turn on. I've since tried to flash TWRP with no success. Now I can't even factory reset. Any news on a TWRP that will work on the L04 with EMUI 5.0? I don't really miss my rooted features too much but the no Bluetooth is more than just annoying. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Edit, I got TWRP installed but now I can't get the data or cust mounted which basically makes TWRP useless. Any thoughts?

Security Patch Level: 1 December 2016

Kernel version 4.1.18-gaa01840 (Friday Dec 30 05:30:23 CST 2016)

Can someone verify if it is the original B360 or the update of 6/2/17?

Recently, I heard the news that Huawei has released the schedule of its Honor 8 Nougat update around the globe. Users in USA, UK, Canada, China, South Korea, Germany and others all will receive the update in a couple of weeks. Read the news here:

http://thedigitalevolution.net/global-rollout-of-huawei-honor-8-nougat-update-begun/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
How is the update going guys?

I didn't receive it yet (L09C432 with the "open beta" from 18/01). Still no new package in firmware finder also....

Those who already receive it, can you check if there is a package dated from 10-12/02 and if it's full or ota?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WYPIERDAALAAC:
It seems to me that b360 update is... official. Service workers had different opinions but now all of them says its official. Strange because officialy update should go in february as huawei said. Also, they says that the 06.02 update is just small update to the b360 and everyone not get it at once because they send it by parts, to prevent overloading to servers. But one thing they probably dont know, no one got 6.02 officialy, by hicare or updater.. they information service sucks. I wrote an email to them with ask why security patch level is from december 2016 if they updated it (look changelog) to the "latest".
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Houser1:
Can I get an official update through OTA if I have unlocked bootloader and rooted B131?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I think so, but there is a chance that your bootloader get's back locked and you will loose root also.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Guys, I have been in contact with Honor about a number of issues one of them being the updates and them all having the same 360 number.

I have copied the reply

Dear John,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Regarding your query, since the B360 number was only previously used for the Nougat beta version, our development team decided to use the same number for the official version. I'm not certain what firmware the Firmware Finder detected, but maybe it was designed for a different device/region. The contents and size of an update file varies depending on the device/region that it was designed for.

Regarding the Nougat update, you will receive the commercial release (official) version OTA, regardless of your participation in the Beta program.

I hope that the above information answers your questions and please let us know if you have any further queries. Have a great day!

Best regards,

Mike

Huawei Customer Care Team

Good to know. Thanks for update.

Don't suppose any update from them on VOLTE?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
No mate they still ain't answered that.

I do know that they are supporting Volte in China & I think India

So we will get it here at some point

I will keep hassling them though.

It was good to get the email confirming what they are doing with the updates.

I think that they are confused them self.

To many different versions of the same phone.

Every country seems to do thier own thing so they can't keep track of it all.

Different updates under the same number is just stupid it's not as if there is a shortage of numbers !!

Issues with officail nougat update for honor 8 L04

the new Nougat update for Honor 8 L04 has an issue when the screen is locked some apps are killed or stopped from accessing data\WiFi like Whatsapp has anyone else encountered this issue if so have you found a fix or work around I have tried adjusting everything nativly wit the OS nothing works
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
That's normal if you don't add the apps to the "not to kill" list.

Check settings > battery > close apps after screen lock and allow the apps you want to not be killed. Be aware that doing this it can reduce battery life.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] axxa84:
It's problem with whatsapp anyway. I add to "not killed" and no notification

Trimis de pe al meu FRD-L09 folosind Tapatalk
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] D'Indyan:
Doesn't work

Yes I am aware and I have done this but when the screen locks it still happens I have played with all the settings to stop it nothing works so far, definitely a bug with the OS itself.

Do you know any other work around?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Guys

I have been taking to the guys on Honor UK Google+ and they have confirmed that for us that was on the UK beta that the 360 update that we got at the end of Jan was the final 360 update that we will get.

The confusion over different versions of the 360 are due to different versions of the Honor 8 and different countries.

There was a 360 for us on the beta

A 360 for those coming from MM.

Could have been done better by giving different numbers but that's the deal.

The guys at Honor UK are being really good at getting back to me with answers for questions that they can answer.

As for the casting issues they are recommending that we try and factory reset our phones.

( I have done this and still no luck)

As for VoLTE support in the UK still no answer.

We really should try to keep to just one thread for questions and answers.

It's hard to know where to post

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bho01:
this is a bit of an irrelevant question, but since this thread is pretty active I decided to ask it anyway.

I'm thinking about installing lineageOS on my honor 8. If I do a Nandroid backup, format data on TWRP, and then install lineageOS, can I restore the backup to go back to EMUI.

Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
That's the point in doing a back up so that you can go back to what you was using before
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thom Knepper:
I assume you did sign up. But I think its because the update isn't available in your country yet. I hope you will get it soon.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bho01:
so for anyone who posted root instructions I followed the instructions and installed TWRP and LineageOS. I've been stuck at a soft brick before. But I think I'm at a hard brick this time since I can't reach the recovery. When I try to flash images with fastboot I get the following error: FAILED(remote: COMMAND not allowed).

Any help. Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I think the best to do is to use a rollback package to roll it back to MM. Check 2º post of this thread.

Force Nougat update L-09

I just recently bought my new honor 8, model L09, which was shipped with L09C432B120 build number, and after the initial setup it did not give me any updates. So i found a guide how to force a nougat update to B360 build number:

https://www.androidsage.com/2017/02...ui-5-0-b360-full-upgrade-package-and-install/

I followed every step, and managed to update to B360 Nougat, but with one difference from the guide above. At the end of the guide they say:

"Go to Setting>Updater and click on the option “Download full update package”. This should download the 2.27 Gb package full package (and not the 1.28 Gb package which is an OTA, or you will not be able to login.)", and when i follow the guide every step, at the end updater always offered me to download OTA which was 1.38 Gb, not the full update (i was on B120). So, i first updated to B131 from firmware finder list (the full firmware), booted, started the guide again, and this time i successfully finished the guide as the updater offered me to download full package (which was around 2.38 Gb). I updated to B360 from the top of the list, the build date is 14.02.2017.

So far everything works flawlessly on my phone, the battery is excellent, on the first day, i unplugged it around 06:30am, and after 3h50m of SOT around 10pm, i had 33% of battery left.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edomali:
I got nougat update yesterday using Hicare app (Croatia). There was no option to update using updater
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
At this point it shouldn't be necessary to force the update via HiCare., it should be reaching your phones via updater in the next upcoming days.

Nevertheless, forcing it should deliver the latest update (14/02).... I hope...

Hello,

I'm still waiting for Nougat update. I've tried to update trough Firmware Finder, but I can't find my phone model. Can someone tell me, if there's firmware for my model and wich is the one I can use?

Huawei checks for compatibility. Updating with official recovery won't brick your device...

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
I have not used FF or any other way except official OTA updates.

I have not rooted my phone at any time.

I was on the UK beta testers programme and I'm 4 months I think I have had 4/5 updates.

I'm not sure but it does seem that those of us that have not played around with are phone's and have waited for the official updates are having different results with our phones regarding battery life etc

It's worth waiting for the official stuff till lineage 14.1 is finished IMO
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:

Rolled back to EMUI 4.1 on the L04 and I'm definitely enjoying the better battery on EMUI than on EMUI 5.0. Will come back to 5.0 when battery life improved. Anyone knows how to drop the phone from notifying about upgrading to 5.0? It's starting to get annoying.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nednapalm:
I'm the same, just seems better on 4.1 at the moment.

To stop the nagging - I followed these steps :

1. Turn off Wi-Fi and Mobile Data

2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Updater -> Storage - clear data

3. Back twice to App List

4. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Settings -> Storage - clear data

5. Should return you to home screen

6. Go to Settings -> Update

7. Select Allow on SD card access

8. Go into "Menu" -> "Update Settings"

9. Untick "Auto-Check" and "Auto-Download"

10. Close the App and turn on Wi-Fi/Mobile Data
