Can anybody else not use the torch on their phone w/ b389? I'm from Austria so the toast message says "Zugriff verweigert " which means "access denied". Anyone else having this problem?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netvorCZEK:
No issue with my phone, I'm also running B389, maybe try to perform Factory Reset and Wipe cache.

I think some service broke down, but I don't know which one on Honor is Torch, I couldn't find it in App menu. - If you find it try to wipe cache in app menu. If this doesn't help there is no other way just Factory Reset.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] matthias_n:
I'll just wait for the next update and hope... It's not that urgent because I activate it via the fingerprint sensor
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
An update won't come quickly, you can do a factory reset if you can't wait
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] matthias_n:
Yes I know but it's not worth the work of doing a factory reset... All those backups, I'd have to install the drivers to the PC, na, I'm to lazy hahah

anyone tried this B386 Latest update
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Is that Android 7.1?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
What are you talking about?

Honor's backup software is built into the phone. You don't need a PC. Plus, it will backup and restore almost everything for you. It's very easy and only takes a few minutes.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] matthias_n:
Aaah yes off course I completely forgot that... Last backup I did was on my HTC, and there was no backup built in ...

Just received B340 update weighing about 340MB which fixes Jio VoLTE calls and bumps the Security patch to July 5. Still no 7.1 though.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Bro but we don't have any jio network issues:eek:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] S1611:
Few people did. When calling via Jio VoLTE to someone, the call used to connect and ring once and then disconnects itself. Even It happened to me few times. Glad Honor acknowledged that and fixed it.

OTA update now on going FRD-L09C185B386 394MB from Saudi Arabia.

It adds a feature to search for images with key words in Gallery and a feature to install down - loaded system updates between 2:00-4:00 Am if the devices is not in use. I also confirm that monochrome is now added in Camera modes instead as a filter, noticeable images sharpening compared to my previous version B385, the "Tips" in the phone Setting is gone, and security patch updated to July 5, 2017.

Does it say anything about battery life improvement?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
It's not mentioned, but probably there were tweaks for battery :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Exactly , the new version are good in battery backup.

Received a new update b340 for my variant , it was good.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aedel:
i'm not sure of battery life improvement. but there is one thing removed from the Display setting of B386, it was the Font style :(

Where are the official rooting files appropriate for EMUI 5.0 + Nougat 7.0? I feel like I'm seeing different things/file versions when I go to search "how to root Honor 8". I'm only looking for just a root, not custom firmware. The file versions are important because I really don't want to flash something not meant for the new EMUI and firmware.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Ensure you're on latest update. Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and root the device using Magisk.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rana103:
Hi, I'm on FRD-L19C636B120. Trying to go to B130 by firmware finder. After 500+ mb downloading it reboots and fails in update screen.

Can I update full package via dload method directly from B120 to B360 or higher ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Yes that's possible.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
Maybe this is a stupid question, but is there a definite way to tell whether EMUI 5.0 was installed officially through OTA (official release B360) or through Charles method (beta B360)? As far as I know, there is no difference in the "About Phone" section that can differentiate the official release from the beta. Maybe I missed out something here.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ndee88:
I got b320 or b360 with charles, but this builds not work correctly. I would like to downgrade to b131 (L09) any idea? I try stock b131, b120 with dload, but 5% stop.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I had the same the first time I tried to do the update, but for some reason, at that time, the update didn't went well. I did a rollback to b131 and I installed everything, then I did the update again and everything is working perfect now.

The TWRP that I've posted on the first post it's not working perfectly, with no access to data, I had to use the micro SD card to flash the root zip.

I had also that issue with bluetooth on the first time I tried to update, I had to rollback and update again. I advise you to do the same.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Check the second post I did on this thread!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ndee88:
I read all post before. It's possible without root? I'm not particiapate to beta, my phone is not from uk.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Yes! Put the update.app into a dload folder on the mSD card, shutdown your phone, and turn it on pressing vol up + vol down + power.

First flash the rollback file, and after starting it up, flash the b131.

Just confirm before that your phone version is the L09C432 if not, you have to look for the rollback files for your phone version
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikolaus2007:
Updated from b131 straight to b360 through charles method. Bootloader unlocked (but not rooted).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ndee88:
Thx, first i just try with the 3 GB file, with 70 mb rollback update its work fine :) Immedietly it's arrived the official B360.

Can anyone on the UK version test the Barclay's app to see if it opens, looks like it's still broken on this phone with 7.0.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tofclaire:
hi,

i ve updated to nougat b360. All is ok but i have a issue :

In developper options, debug usb don't stay actived.... so i can't use adb on pc for unlock bootloader and can't install twrp for root....

With marshmallow b131 i can...

Have you got this issue with developper options ??

edit : it's ok , i had to install hisuite on pc....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] matthias_n:
Actually , I got my Update yesterday. I've got the european Honor 8 and I'm in Austria. So far, it seems to be great although I've the feeling that battery usage is a bit higher...Obviously I will have to use the phone for more days in order to see whether it's higher.

Reducing the display resolution to 720p is much faster now (or it doesn't work, I'm not sure). How have you guys experienced that ?

The multi window feature works fine :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] deadko:
In chainfires supersu there's an option to fully unroot, in this supersu you installed can unroot too? I'm thinking on future updates
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
There is no option, but I think it will be a matter of uninstall, flash chainfire su and it will be working...

For those of you wanting to root and flash TWRP on B360, the process is as shown here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70266853&postcount=262

FOR L04-C567B360:

Unlock Bootloader:

Let it boot normally, then go to settings and enable USB DEBUGGING

Use ADB Reboot Bootloader

Unlock the Bootloader if it is locked using fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxx

Rooting:

If you just unlocked the bootloader, let it boot then enable USB Debugging again.

Use the command fastboot flash recovery with frd-twrp.img Thanks [MENTION=4849720]HackerOO7[/MENTION]

Reboot into TWRP 3.0.2.0 (Volume up + Power) with the phone NOT plugged in.

Flash [MENTION=4849720]HackerOO7[/MENTION] SuperSu for EMUI 5.0 from here

Reboot recovery and Format Data (keep in mind this WILL wipe the internal storage)

Reboot system / let it boot up / then shutdown (this just rebuilds the data partition)

Boot to TWRP (Volume up + Power)

Wipe / factory reset

Flash update_data_full_hw_usa.zip for B360.

Reboot System / Install SuperSU apk

The data partition is encrypted by default on Nougat (which we have no TWRP capable of handling right now). So you have to use Format Data in the provided TWRP to get rid of the encryption and gain access to the data partition then flash the appropriate update_data_full_hw_usa.zip.

1) On location option, with the middle one checked(battery saving, wifi & mobile data location), if you have ONLY mobile data on, it cant ever find your location. You have to enable wifi(even if it is not connected in any network). Its so frustrating!

2) Please check this. EVERY time i restart the phone, battery statistics(screen on etc) RESET themselves!!!!!! Is it happening to anyone?

I don't understand the new power saving mode... On emui 4, there were 3 options: High performance, intelligent, and ultra power saving mode.

Now there are only two options left: power saving and ultra power saving. So, when you deactivate both of them (which seems to be the standard, every time I start the phone no power saving mode is enabled ) are you using high performance mode ?

Are the apps you said not to stop when the screen is off still running? Or are they stopping anyway ?

I have been using the 360 final N update for a couple of days.

I was in the beta group so it don't look that different.

The big difference is the battery life. I charged to 100℅ yesterday morning and I still have 32℅ now that is a big improvement.

They have also done something with the storage. On the beta I could use my SD card as internal storage now I can't do that ( or I can't find the setting) the SD card now comes up as portable storage.

Other than that it dont look any different from the beta but it all feels much quicker than it was.

I will keep looking see if I can find any other changes

I just consulted the Charles app and everything went fine. No issues at all. I'm in Germany and I couldn't wait anymore.

I found the iPhone-like experience of EMUI 4.1 not as good as the Nougat style of EMUI 5.

I used nexus devices for years now and I can tell you that stock Android can be a bit boring at times. Android 7.1.1 brought some fresh wind, but I have to say that EMUI has its advantages!

Besides that I now customized my phone to look stock and it flies like nothing else. The Kirin really pushes the system very good!

Let's see what devs can do. A debloated stock Rom or LOS 14.1 would be nice :)

For now I'm very satisfied with this device! Hell this thing is even faster than the Google Pixel!

I am waiting for a material theme. So for the time being I stick to the stock theme. But since the color palette in the notification drawer nearly matches the new blue and dark grey style of the Google Pixel I'm fine with that till someone creates a good theme.

The rest is Nova launcher configured to look like Googles standard one :)

I mean that the notes associated with the different led colours often aren't the ones chosen by me from the app (ex WhatsApp)
