First I was excited about getting this update, now I'm nervous to install it. My phone battery life has finally settled down this week to where I feel confident it will last all day without random batter drain when idle. I'm afraid to mess up a good thing with this update.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] haru3173:
heres the full ota files. This is from regular system update and not from firmware finder. Not sure if its twrp compatible or installable through FF.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
How do you manually install this update? I'm in the USA
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I installed the OTA today. So far so good. Battery life during standby seems to be even better. The camera app now has the stupid beauty mode option from the main camera screen but it's easier to turn off in selfie mode. I just wish it would stay off.

And Google Duo is now a system app that you can only disable.

its working fine for me., til now.,
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Will it work for FRD-L14? AND how did you do the OTA INSTALLATION?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yalokiy:
I have FRD-L04. Update arrived over the air yesterday. So far, the battery seems to hold better.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LaserChicken:
I just ran the update. Did anyone else have excessive heat after the first boot? My phone updated, rebooted and then got blazingly hot within 30 seconds. I shut it off and it took a few minutes for the metal frame to cool. Once it cooled, I booted up and things have been fine. Still, I have never had a phone get so hot, so fast and not shut itself down.

Weird.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrad75:
I'm I'm EASTERN USA (KY) and me and my wife (both have FRD-L04) have neither one received the update...? Anybody else still waiting for it?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Can anyone tell me how to update this via FirmWare Finder.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
No, and it was an automatic update over the air. I didn't do anything except press install once I got the notification.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Yup I'm waiting for the update too. It will probably take another few days till the update hits our devices.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Linuxslate:
I got mine (US, totally stock phone). I got the message in the late afternoon, and let it update last evening.

It did get warm during the reboot, but not exceedingly hot. I made a phone call just after it rebooted, and it was a little uncomfortable (uncomfortable in the sense of "weird", not not near painful or anything).

After an update, most Android devices will show "Updating Apps" during the next reboot.

It is really recompiling or re-building all the apps (Used to be the Dalvik cache). This is processor intensive, and that is why devices will get warm.

The back glass of my old Sony Z2 would get quite hot during this process. On the H8 it seemed to be the top, and as you say, the metal frame.

I haven't noticed any significant difference yet, except they have moved some things around in the camera settings/features.

Good to see this kind of support from Huawei -- Thanks!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skeeterfood:
Got the OTA on my US L04 on Cricket Wireless yesterday afternoon too. Unfortunately, it doesn't fix my issue with my Polar H6 BLE heart-rate strap. The phone can still see it, but can't pair with it. I rolled back to MM a few weeks ago to verify it works fine there. As soon as I upgrade to N it stops working.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
Are most of you US folks getting the OTA running b360 on FRD-L04? Just curious.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tekkitan:
Got the firmware update popup overnight while I was sleeping on my FRD-L04. Ran the update this morning.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] seanicca:
That could be the fw on the strap itself not supporting N not the phone fw
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

not yet for me
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Yup I still didn't get the update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwcasey:
385 update last night

Yes, unlocked the phone last night and said update was downloaded (probably started when I got home from work and phone was on home WiFi). I plugged it in for about an hour to boost the battery a little bit, then hit the 'quick update' button.

Tmobile, South-Central U.S.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Still no update for me, either. I think there's a cosmic irony at play that the people who want it the most are the ones who are the last to get it pushed.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skeeterfood:
I guess it's possible. Unfortunately I don't have another phone running Android N to test out that theory.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Or, maybe you just don't want it enough?!?! lol :-p
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LaserChicken:
Just one more note about my update, in case anyone is in the same situation.

My phone is completely stock. I upgraded to 360 via Firmware Finder. I was worried the FF might break OTA, or break the installation process. But, my fears weren't​ reality. B385 came via OTA and installed, aside from the one-time heat situation, without error.

My point, if you hit 360 via FF, you should still be good to go with the new OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
seems logical, lol

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

that's what I was afraid of, but thanks for sharing your experience
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmcnyc:
still no update here in NYC on stock FRD-L04 :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me-meth:
I'm using B385 since yesterday. FRD-L04. I hope i will be wrong.

I can't see any power-intensive apps anymore. The list is empty all the time. But apps keeps consuming my battery in background and i can't even close them manually anymore. I feel like my battery going down faster then before.

Please share your experience if its the same.

Hurry up OnePlus 5 !
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
So, found a bug... The auto rotate feature stops working after opening the camera app. Requires a reboot to get the screen to rotate again. Anyone else have that issue?

EDIT:

Weird - I rebooted about 3 times and it seems to working again for now. I'll keep an eye on it.

Edit again:

It's happening every time I turn on my phone. Rebooting only fixes it for a few minutes before auto rotate breaks. It is not caused by the camera. Is there any way to roll back to the previous version. I can't use the phone like this.

Final Edit:

Had to perform a factory reset and all seems to be well again. FYI, the firmware version stayed at 385 even after the reset.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] denism81:
Do Canadians get L04 updates? I never seem to...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
well nothing significant for battery uptil now on 385 over 360 been on 385 for couple of days now., and no lags either as someone reported .., bottom line is all is same as 360..,

Was this update a mistake by Honor? I'm on FRD-L04 B360 and I am not getting any updates.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
I haven't recieved the update as well. It's fine wait for a while.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
still waiting too
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrad75:
I know u can't successfully install ota update while rooted/custom recovery, but will the update still arrive via ota if rooted, or will it not even show up till phone is unrooted? Reason I ask is because the vast majority seems to have already received this update, where as I have been waiting and waiting... Wondered if maybe it wasn't showing up yet because I wasn't unrooted and/or not running stock recovery/boot
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmcnyc:
I'm running stock eevrything, still no update
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
So much misinformation. It seems nobody cares searching the forums for answers to their questions or clarification to their beliefs nowadays.

And no, "the vast majority" have not received the update yet. They are just waiting patiently as I am too.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrad75:
Thanks for your 2¢ guy! ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
No need to be crying you'll get it too eventually!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
Used FF last time to 360, no 385 yet on my L04 (US). Checked HiCare everyday, but keep the auto-update turned off. Not sure if this setting prevented me from receiving the 385 update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
Did you mean the update "WiFi auto-download" setting?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
Yeah, I turned that off to save battery in normal days.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kullum79:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
My educated guess is that it shouldn't affect you getting update notifications. That's the equivalent to "WiFi only download" option for updates and packages available in Android to prevent the use of mobile data.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vyper4:
I updated through Charles to go to b360, I also had my auto download turned off and I received no notifications. I tried going into the update app and when I made it check, I got the b385 update.

Edit: I'm mistaken, it's auto check for updates that was turned off.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] freemannhp:
I m at NY area, kept checking everyday, finally got it last night.

Hi guys, I just got official B385 OTA.

I'm on stock, non-rooted B365, the only thing I did right before was update Huawei ID app then checked for system update. My Huawei ID app version is 2.5.1.304.

B385

Yep it's finally here! Got it today for my FRD-L14 after manually checking.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
Same here. Just checked the update manually and got the 385 OTA update despite the fact that I have turned off the auto-downloading from Wifi. Downloading 815MB package and installing now...

NM, USA. L04. It seems coming in batch.:)

Update: It installed in 5-min and is working on my phone.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Strange - the screen doesn't rotate anymore again. Seems to work well for a couple days before failing almost completely. It works again after a restart, but only for a few minutes. I wonder if it has anything to do with developer options being turned on - I'll factory reset one more time and not turn on developer options and see if that does the trick. Otherwise, I'm downgrading back to the previous version.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
After a week of waiting I finally recieved the software update. I checked manually btw.

It's so nice to finally recieve a software update :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krchi:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Are you still having this issue?

Is anyone else having rotation issues? I finally got the update notification, but I'm holding off.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
I just installed and tested it. At first glance I see no problem with rotation, but they ^^ are saying it went bad after a few days. Will check back if it doesn't work. So far, I can't see a bit of difference aside from the version number.

Mine worked great with 360 including bat. life, so I'll give it a day to do whatever background stuff it does after update and review it then. (FRD-L04, Cali).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
From my experience if you turn off the "animation effects" under Developer option you may end up having rotation issues with some applications.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
It appears the bug is related to the animation settings withing developer options. So far, I've reset the phone and kept all developer options turned off, but once I get brave again, I'll slowly toggle each setting to see which one is the real culprit. So as long as you don't mess with any of these settings (for now), you won't have the rotation problem I had.

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

I'm glad that I'm not the only one, but I didn't turn off the effect completely, I simply set it to .5x duration and that still caused the issue. Also, once the problem starts, simply returning the settings to normal does NOT fix it. You have to factory reset the phone.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] freemannhp:
For those who is still waiting for OTA, it is possible to upgrade through firmware finder. The firmwares of B385 become approved for installation now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krchi:
Piggybacking on this only the first set of B385 updates are approved (atleast for me) the second set aren't approved yet. I already got the B385 update so I am not sure if that plays a role of whether it's going to be approved for you or not
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZicoRamirez77:
Hi everyone! Please I need help, my Honor 8 FRD-L04 automatically updated, aparently all the procces is normal, but when the installation finish, my honor 8 stuck in the message "Your device is unlocked and can't be trusted". The only modification is I opened the bootloader, I don't make the update, was a mistake from my little nephew. How can I do, please I need the phone for my job. In this momment, automatically enter in eRecovery and is downloading a software and recovery via WIFI. But I need a solution in case that process not finish or say me that has an error or anything.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Well, I can now conclude that, for me, enabling developer options in general (regardless of animation times being adjusted or not) will cause the phone to stop rotating and cannot be resolved without a factory reset. Restarting the phone only fixes temporarily. This is too bad because this is the first phone where I actually feel the benefit of reducing animation times.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
That sucks man. The only thing different I did was downloading and installing the full software package instead of the partial OTA. I didn't do a factory reset either.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] evilpaul13:
Seems to be fine here, could it be something else?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
I'm also on stock B385 (Had really bad experience with my phone bricking so only stock for me :)) and I don't even have Developer options enabled and today afternoon my device just wouldn't rotate inside YouTube and I had to restart the phone to get it to work again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
You guys might be right. I found another thread about rotation issues and one person said it was related to the smart motion settings. So, I turned them all off and haven't had an issue all day today.

I will gladly sacrifice the ability to use nuckle gestures to have the screen auto rotate properly! So far, it looks like developer options was just a coincidence. I'll let you know more tomorrow.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Ohh I have motion gestures on. That might be it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Let us know if it works for you too.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
I haven't had any rotation issues so far. Just one time when I was on B360 due to turning off animation.

Something that I'm experiencing sporadically is the missing animation that follows after taking a screenshot (the small window with the screenshot). This happened to me before the update but it was also due to turning off animation. But now I'm stock everything so I don't know why this is happening. If this persists I might have to do a factory reset :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Smart Screenshot has always caused odd issues for me, I turn it off. All smart gestures I turn off actually, I never used them and got tired of accidentally triggering the gesture.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Voidz98:
I have updated to B385 on my FRD-L04. The update came 2 days ago. I was excited because I thought that this update will fix some annoying bugs especially the gyroscope bug present in youtube 360 videos. But nope it's still present when you click the google cardboard icon it goes crazy. Other than that I don't see a huge problem including the auto rotation bug that some people have, thank god. And I also feel a little improvement on the battery life it feels like it's lasting longer than when I was on B360. Anyways, anyone have the same gyroscope bug like me?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skrapmetal:
I just received a system update notification. Will installing this cause me to loose root, twrp, or any other loss of data?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bivek:
I am in nepal with L04 and I got ota update for 385 about 3 weeks back. So you should also receive it. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Loss of data, no. Loss of root and TWRP, yes, because you need to get rid of those things to take the OTA properly. Once you get the OTA though, flash TWRP again from your bootloader, then flash your root of choice, and everything is back to the way you were beforehand.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
But if I'm not wrong (atleast in my case when my phone was bricked and I had to use the Marshmallow rollback package) when u update the phone the phone removes root and locks the bootloader all at once. If this is the case to unlock the bootloader he'll have to unlock it again wiping all data. Am I right?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] qvnsq:
Stock wifi tether able to turned on 385 but no conection transmit, after added dun to apn type, it work perfectly fine with fresh installed firmware.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Rollback package didn't relock my bootloader, maybe for others it did.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
I wasn't talking abt the rollback package. I rolled back to unbrick my phone and had no intention on staying in marshmallow. Before I could receive the Nougat update I had to update to a later Marshmallow firmware and the second I took the OTA (I did a full update tho) my bootloader locked and put everything back to official (which is what I wanted).

So what I'm trying to say here is there is a chance that when he updates to B385 the bootloader will lock and the device will turn official.

Battery on b385

i have a hard cover for the phone but i think the phone is getting hot as well
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gurashish1singh:
Damn that's a good SOT. I hardly get half of that.(I'm also on b385)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
well i have noticed one thing.., in my honor 8 on all firmwares which are b162, b360 and now b385.., if you use your mobile regularly in a single charge it will give you a good SOT.., the battery loses more when the device is idle..,

if you see in my screenshot the 8hour SOT occurs in exactly 24 hours.., so if i reduce the usage to 48hours i should get 4 hours of SOT but that's not the case i get max to 3 hours then

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

moreover its about 2 weeks now that i am on b385, i noticing an improved timing from battery day by day.., but even in normal use just like as i am typing this message i feel like my device is getting warm,, or it could the weather which currently is 35C ??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gurashish1singh:
Well I have to charge my phone after every 23 hours and usually I get around 4 hours SOT . I've been on b385 for a week or so , haven't noticed the device getting warm. Battery life might have increased from b360 but still early to tell. Sometimes it lasts more than day , sometimes it doesn't . But it depends on usage , so I'm not complaining . I like the phone and I just hope I get to see android O on Honor 8 !
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sirovai:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gurashish1singh:
Nope. Still there
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] evilpaul13:
I don't think it'll actually let you install the OTA with an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and rooted via the System Update way. The update itself will leave other stuff conventionally referred to as "data" intact.

Pretty sure you could roll it back to B122 then update it to B162. Mine was on B388 before I rolled it back. Actually mine again was updated to B388 after I rolled it back to B122 (you would need downgrade it to B300 prior to the installation of B122 ).
