Yes,

when rolling back to MM, I also noticed that TWRP was replaced by the stock recovery. I'm not yet certain but the bootloader is probably locked now.

I think I lost BT because i flashed a data zip prior to the firmware version I was using.

But I remain curious, I think i'll try to update to Nougat again and retry all of this again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mumtaz77:
Please, link downloadable files directly. If You write a complete tutorial, the peoples won't need to read another one, to point a final link, where he at least download the suggested files.

Please, short this way.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeletor916:
For what it's worth, I only had to flash this file from TWRP to get the apps back and fix nfc and bt on my l04. It's the data file for the newest b360. http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...09/f1/full/hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip

Oh, the keyboard wasn't working... So I texted myself my email and password from my lady's phone, copied and pasted that in to get into the Play Store, opened up my apps and installed my favorite keyboard. Now to mess it up some more...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Thanks for sharing this. I'll update the OP with the newer b360 data file. I'm curious what the difference is between b320 and b360. Wonder if it's worth the effort to try to upgrade.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
I did the best I could with that. The problem is, there's several different variants of the Honor 8, so the best I can do is link to the locations to download them from. Those repositories should update their files as time goes on.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Just updated the BT/NFC fix to B360.

Hi, i've rooted, but when i try to uninstall some apps, it's aborted, and even if i change the theme, nothing happens...

Any suggestions ?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
If you're trying to uninstall system applications, uninstalling apps within Titanium Backup OR freezing apps with Titanium Backup and they are not disappearing from your app drawer / phone, then your root isn't working properly. Did you go through the entire process?

IF that's not the case, the only advice I could give you is to do a factory reset and wipe data and try again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Has anyone been able to get the SELinuxModeChanger.apk to install and actually work without getting the "unable to gain root access" ?? The only way I can make it happen is by terminal and using the setenforce flag to 0 so v4a works.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kikito94:
I followed from A until Z

I can put the host file, but when i try to uninstal with "Removing system app", it undetects root,

It keep trying

Same problem, with remover app too ...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
In one of the four times I went back to 100% stock and gone through this process, it happened to me too. The only way I fixed it was a factory reset. I think it had to do with not flashing SuperSU back after you format data correctly.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kikito94:
I've done the factory, now installing supersuEMUI5... keeping in touch

Edit 1 : After factory reset and re-do all the steps : I can now remove app with Remover app system. Now trying themes

Edit 2 : Themes no working, but i've lost the smart key ...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeletor916:
The big one for me is the app drawer on the EMUI launcher. It probably won't matter for most of the people here since I'm sure everyone is using a third party launcher... But when I got this phone I told myself that I wouldn't spend the time unlocking, rooting, testing custom firmwares, etc etc etc because I have a few woodworking/home improvement projects going and a new phone for me is always at least a week of goofing around being up really late tweaking my phone. Gotta reflash everything because one app fced on me...

I told myself I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't have a bunch of files ready for the phone before it arrived. Wouldn't "void my warranty" by tweaking it to my heart's content. Wouldn't be staring at my phone at 3am while my lady sleeps next to me. Wouldn't also be up before her in the morning to continue tweaking...

That thought lasted for about two hours.

I think using the stock launcher is my nonsensical middle ground. But it's also pretty good.

Not exactly an answer to your question since I didn't install that apk, but I changed SELinux to permissive using this version of kernel adiutor.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
No, I appreciate that! I Think that app is a little over my head actually because I don't understand much about init.d or any of the other settings. Not sure how to script that to run on startup. Is it easy?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skeletor916:
Really easy. It's a couple of taps. I included a link to the Kernel Adiutor in an edit to my post up there.

After installing it, you just tap the menu button, go to Misc Controls and it'll be there right at the top.

It is a pretty intense app, I haven't messed with a lot of the other settings, yet.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arbyn:
Anybody else find that the Honor 8 is not listed on the official unlock bootloader page ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
I think it has a lot to do with where you are when you go to that link. Different regions send you to different sites. Anyway, when you actually click on the unlock bootloader link and it lets you in, it takes you here: https://www.emui.com/en/plugin/unlock/index . emui.com is the website Honor has set up for the Honor 8.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arbyn:
So how do I get to the proper site from the US?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
You follow the link I just gave you. That's the link I used to unlock my FRD-L04. If that's not the model you have, you'll have to reach out to Honor in your country. They have a Live Chat in their main support page that will be able to help you.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arbyn:
That link didn't work either that's why I asked.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takichiman:
I had the same problem with the english website.

I used the chinese version of the website with the help of Google translate and I was able to get the unlock code
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Sorry you had so much trouble! I used that site in english on two different Honor 8's (FRD-L04's) without problems.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takichiman:
I think it depends on the location.

I'm in Morocco, but even though I used a VPN, it didn't work. So I tried the Chinese website just by clicking on the chinese letters in the top - right. Felt like a hacker man :D :D

I got the same problem, but i'm on a FRD-AL00 which is chinese, so, i think, a bit different

I downloaded my current version :

-Extracted the system and the recovery ( then flashed it )=> almost stock, except the data partition

And re-do all the steps :

1 ) flash twrp

2) install su

3) then wipe ( cache & dalvik )

I got the nougat update via updater app

I haven't got my update zip they are not available in any Huawei and honor sites...

If i got the links then i will do as u said thanks:good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sikica133:
not sure why you'd want to format /data anyways. as far as I can tell, honor dumped a decent chunk of apps which should be at /system to /data partition, and formatting it will effectively delete key apps (eg. bluetooth and nfc ones, keyboards too and some huawei specifics). no wonder people are facing issues. there is no need to format it, and it should be avoided, just flash supersu via twrp, ignore errors, boot your phone up and install superuser.apk manually. you should be rooted. then just remove annoying apps manually with a file manager. bloat is mostly located @ /data/hw_init.

also, some root apps might not work without proper busybox so flash that prior, or push it to /system/xbin

after you're done, best way to reset your phone is pushing stock recovery back, factory resetting your phone and voila, you have a clean 7.0 without losing key stuff. it takes some time but its worth it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raza3434:
installed it and after booting into twrp when I press select storage, it shows internal storage(0mb) and all other same, what is this??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Just FYI, there were quite a few people (including myself) that had issues going at it this way. SuperSU would flash via TWRP without issues, but without formatting data and reflashing SU there was no 100% working root. apps in particular like certain versions of BusyBox, Titanium Backup and AdAway were a few that wouldn't work.

After flashing SuperSU the second time, I just put the gboard apk back on and sideload it and that problem is gone. Flashing the latest data.zip file in the OP resolves any BT/NFC issues.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Guys, just want to make sure that no one's blindly downloading the files in the OP and flashing away. Make sure you're using a FRD-L04. All of these international versions are different and are causing SO many different issues.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sikica133:
well ive done it twice this way, so either my bbox/re versions are completely different, or there is a major difference between nougat for l04/l09 in which case l09 users should not flash those fixes/format data anyways

luls didnt see ur response

Hi there. Thanks to this thread I had root running like a charm on the B360 with TWRP 3.0.2.0. Any clue why this method doesn't work with the new TWRP 3.0.3.0 by surdu_petru and FRD-L09C432B380? The SuperSU zip flashes without any errors as the new TWRP has access to data partition without the need to wipe it. After a reboot the SuperSU app is there but upon oppening it throws an error "There is no SuperSU binnary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem". Thanks for your hard work devs! :)

Same here :) After updating to B360 i flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 from this thread - no internal memory (0mb), so cant flash anything from twrp.

Installed TWRP 3.0.3.0 - memory is here, flashing SuperSU gives no errors but no root neither :)

Funny thing is that after flashing busybox.zip via twrp now Chainfire SuperSU app says "SU binary needs to be updated" (like there is one?..) but fails.

One app though says that it will not work on a rooted phone. Another one (Wakelock detector) doesnt see the root..

Finally flashed modified boot.img (b378) from this thread and with Superuser by phh root works fine now :)

I did not see this post so did not flash this. I just did what was in the OP. Now that I've read the post, I have to say that I'm not quite sure what it is saying to do and if it applies to my USA version H8. So would I push this boot img in adb like I did with twrp recovery? And in which order? Before or after pushing twrp?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dede_lecochon:
I know nothing about USA version, so cannot help here (maybe check the thread i pointed out)

To flash modified boot - check this post

So yes, similar to flashing TWRP. As i can guess order (TWRP / boot) does not matter.

I'm going to have to research this some more. I've been rooting and flashing roms on android phones for over 6 years and on phones from all the major names, LG, HTC, Samsung, and I've never had this much trouble getting rooted.

Hello!

If you are on B360 you can flash TWRP 3.0.2-0, from the forum, and flash SuperSu. You won't be able to see /data/ as this version of TWRP won't be able to deal with encryption, this will return an error/warning during supersu flash, but won't definitely prevent the success of the installation.

If you update to B380, the history will change a bit, to worst.
