[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brljak83:
Hi

It is not hard to do the update, and if you follow step by step it will nothing happen and nothing will crash

But since you want to update to Android Nougat 7 and want to have the EMUI 5 you can do it in two different way

First way and maybe very noob friendy and maybe the way to do it if you dont care about the latest possible Nougat 7

That would be in this way

Do it over the phone settings

Just do the given update to MM B131

And it will do the update to B131 and dont need to worry anything

After that one it should give you also an update over the phone settings to B360 wich is nougat android 7

BUT maybe it will give you just a newer version like B380 depanding on the region

For me it updated to B360

This way all you need to do is just check for updates in the phone settings and click on update the phone

After you do the update to Nougat android 7 and EMUI 5 it is recommended to do after that an factory reset

The factory reset you do also from the phone settings and it will wipe all of your data

So do a back up on your PC or on the SD card of your files

The apps you will have to reinstall from play store..

The second way I would recommend to you only if you care to have the very latest nougat wich is B381

If you want the latest like the B381 than you can save your self the trouble to update over the phone settings

Just do this

Download from this post there is an link given to mega uploads

Go to this post and download the latest B381

When you have downloaded the latest firmware couse you want the very latest

Then extract the ZIP you have downloaded

You will get two ZIP files inside of the big one

Then create on the microSD card one folder with the name dload

Then do some more unzipping

First unzip the update.zip file and put it in the created dload folder on the SD card

You will have to put 3 files in that folder...

Look at the picture in the attachment how the files look like..

After you have moved the 3 files from update.zip to sd card

Dial this in you phone dialer

*#*#2846579#*#*

It will open one new window and than select firmware upgrade

Then select from sd card

It will ask you if you are sure than select yes and it will take few minutes like 6-7 minutes

And it will flash the first 3 files that you copied to the sd card..

The phone will restart from it self

Then delete all the files you have firstly moved to dload folder

Now when it is empty unzip the other full ota ZIP file

It will also give you 3 files like the first time

Like the first time move them to sd card to dload folder

Then again do the dial with the same process again

Select firmware upgrade

Then from SD card

Then select yes I am sure to install from the sd card

Now it will take less time to do the install

After you do this two installs you should do a factory reset

It usally help to fix some bugs wich can or dont have to be after a firmware update

But usally it is recommended to do it..

That would be that..

Just look the picture what files to have in the dload folder not to get confused

If this helps hit Thanks

If you unsure of something ask again

Will help again
