I'm having random disconnections with it. But only when the wifi connections slows down. You can submit logs. I will too when I had the time to capture the disconnection.

More weirdly, my camera sends to have died. I was running crdroid and got occasional lock ups, but flagged the latest rr build and it was fine.

But now it's just stopped working. Blank screen.

I've tried reflashing, restoring a two backup, full system error then tells... Still no camera... But it was working five 4 hours ago.

Tried other camera apps too.

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
What do you mean not working? Please describe more.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] StarPaladinVinyl:
Press call but nothing happens, cant receive calls, tried turning of lte but it didnt help
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
Thank you for the link. I downloaded an 389 update.zip and tried the following steps:

install update.zip via twrp (failed)

place update.zip into extrnal sd cards dload folder and install it via holding vol up down (failed)

unzip update.zip into dload and hold vol+ - (failed)

I have no idea how to install emus 389. I must admit that H8 is even harder then my first steps on samsung or Sony many years ago. gosh... :(

I'm so happy I made a twrp backup of my /data partition :D
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dimontiman:
B389 works only via ota update

Connect phone to hisuite on PC and search for Update
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
Well I don't have Windows and hisuite is only available for Windows.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dimontiman:
Then search on device for update try also the hicare app
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
I'm on RROS so there is no hicare. That's why I simply wanted to flash the ROM - as I did in the past on Nexus devices. An other fail by Huawei.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Anonshe:
You can flash B380/381 on your device as that is a full ROM. After that just OTA to B389 via the built-in software updater. B380/381 is the last full version hence why B389 keeps failing if you directly flash it.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
There was no 389 update for my device. That's why I prefer companies that have ROMs on their sites.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
Check THIS.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
It's an emtpy page
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
Sorry man. Fixed now.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
Thanks! There are three files. Which do I need for the update from 380 and how do I update? By putting it into the dload directory?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
Check inside. If you see an update.app, flash them through dload one by one. With the biggest file first to smallest.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] developersam:
I came from FRD L09 B389 and did formate my data and performed a factory reset as mentioned in op. Now i tried to flash the RROS Rom but it does not get beneath the point: "Patching system image unconditionally...". Is there any solution to this problem?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
That's a bad download. Download it again.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Yug.:
Same problem with the first version, when i play sont with bluetooth my device reboot randomly
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
So I downloaded a 2.3 GB full pv file for 380. Unziped it into dload and started the device by holding vol +-. Afterwards the update started but finished within only 5 seconds and said it was successful... System reboot annnnnd.... It's still RROS.

I'm about to throw that device out of the windows right now.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
Dafuq man. Does erecovery work for you?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
No, it quits with an error...

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

Btw I found a windows computer and installed hisuite. After clicking on restore device, it says that everything if fine with my device. No way to restore it.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Perfect, now fingerprint is gone. It's definitely my first and last Huawei.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Anonshe:
No you shouldn't do that! Copy the two .zips to your device (preferably external storage) and then boot to TWRP from RROS. Flash the update_data_hw_eu.zip first then flash the update.zip. Reboot your system and you are on stock EMUI. Go to software update and in the menu click on download latest full package which would be B389 and voila you are done.

Alternatively, as you said you can throw the device out :p
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dimontiman:
Download full OTA mf pv B381

Should be two files

First use dload method for update.zip

And repeat with the second file

After this you should be running emui B381

Did you a twrp Backup?

If yes just restore it.. Should always do a twrp backup of all partitions
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
I'm trying the recovery package now... Full reset to EMUI 4.1 I guess. Let's see. Is still have my Xperia Z3C in case of trouble.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bunnahabhain:
Which device model do you have? And which download was it
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
I have a L09. Tried the official restoring method and now it's gone. Today I killed my device. I can access eRecovery but downloading anything fails. I still can install an update.app but afterwards it just displays the Honor logo and isn't booting anymore. But boot loader is closed now since the warning has gone. Lets see what i can do next.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] venugopalu007:
after rollback reset/wipefactoryreset , it helps me :good:
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] frenchtouch92:
thank you very much for everything you're doing to support this phone :D

flash RROS yesterday, everything is fast and smooth, just a few point to make:

- is anyone have being able to use "ambiant display", all the gesture like swipe hand over to show notification or pocket mode isn't working, the ambiant display just light some time when receiving notification, but not every time, even if it's from the same app.

- battery life isnt incredible but wasn't too in stock emui in my case, in both had approximately 3h sot, will see how it goes in coming day

- app seems to stay much longer in ram memory compare to stock wich is really nice !

had a reboot when using map, think i was in battery saving localisation tho

when playing music, may be a song out of ten would stop playing even tho it isn't finish and the progress bar still goes on. pause and play resume the sound.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] sspunkky:
Is the soft reboot when using navigation fixed with the latest update?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] disizjay:
I believe yes. My phone hasn't restarted after installing new update.

But the issue I see is phone getting heated up so fast while multitasking or taking pictures.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
That was pretty smart. If it was any other regular user, they would've freaked out. :laugh:
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gus194:
Guys i have a problem :( I tried to return to EMUI by flashing the Rollback package and it successfully passed and then i flashed B162 (I have a L04), and it was succesful after that it was stuck in a bootloop so i Factory resetted but it didnt work. So then i flashed the Rollback package again and after that it stays at the Honor Logo, it wont even go into a Bootloop. I can get into the bootloader but it wont let me Flash anything :( and the phone has a Lock Bootloader since i flashed B162. It also wont let me flash system.img through bootloader since it says command failed. I dont know what to do guys. Any command I try to do says : FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) and I cant unlock the bootloader since i cant check the Unlock OEM option...Help please :(

i've also tried going into erecovery and normal recovery and it wont let me. It just stays stuck in Honor logo and thats it. Bootloader says:

Android reboot reason:

erecovery

NA

volumnkey_down_press_process_func

Any help is appreciated, thanks...
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hackslash:
If you can go into fastboot, I would suggest you to immediately unlock the bootloader and flash the system image, boot image and recovery2 image (extracted from stock update app). Then perform a factory reset through recovery2 (erecovery).

PS: The downgrade package is only to be flashed on N EMUI5 not on EMUI4.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gus194:
I can go into fastboot but i cant flash anything since i cant unlock the bootloader. It wont let me unlock it :(

this is what it says: PS C:\Users\moren\Desktop\Huawei\Flash> fastboot oem unlock (Huawei Unlock Code)

...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.018s
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hackslash:
Does the Fastboot says FRP Locked (if it is locked then you won't be able to flash anything. FRP is Factory Reset Protection and its sole purpose is to you lock you out of fastboot to prevent unauthorized flashing or resetting. The only way to override it is though Settings > Developer Options)

Try flashing EMUI 5 update app (using dload). Once that succeeds factory reset your device through erecovery. Downgrade back and flash the M package.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gus194:
Yes it says FRP Lock, How do i flash the EMUI 5 update app though? Since it gets stuck on the Honor Logo. It wont go past anything else. I've tried so many times to get into Recovery and Erecovery mode and I cant
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hackslash:
So you can't use Power Button + Vol Up + Vol Down combo to flash update.app?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Samueldanny:
Hey, I know this might be off topic, but has anyone been able to use magisk correctly to able to play Polemon go without unrooting this ROM?

I can't seem to get it working no matter what guide I use.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
I noticed that this isn't working with the downgrade ROM. But I found a different rom on Huawei page which I was able to flash with the combo. Some 131 uk ROM. After first boot it was immediately updated to 360, then reboot plus inserted SIM lead to 380 and on next reboot 389 update.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dimontiman:
HI, i followed your instructions, as i had a Backup of EMUI system vendor boot..

i restored it, now my system wont boot, in erecovery there is no option to factory reset the device, only download recovery, shutdown and reboot.

Do I have to flash stock recovery to perform a factory reset?

EDIT: I was able to restore Lineage OS via TWRP as I failed to boot EMUI..

Is it enough to restore system boot vendor from EMUI or do I have to restore also Data?

ALSO I tried a factory reset via TWRP but EMUI won't boot to system.. As Factory Reset via erecovery was not possible.. I guess to encrypt data?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gus194:
Nope.. Any combo I do doesn't do anything and it just stays on the Honor logo and Powered By Android thing.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
Because it's the wrong Huawei ROM. Check my post above.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gus194:
Hmm...which one could it be? I last dload'ed the B122 rom and thats the one i currently have on the SD Card. should I try B162?

Edit: I might have to try DC Phoenix and pray that it works for me
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dimontiman:
i just flashed stock recovery and did a factory reset from there..EMUI booted successfully, but system apps are gone, since i didnt restored emui Data Partition.. now I try to update from B381 via Hisuite to B389..then flash TWRP and Restore Custom ROM..

if Update dont works iI think I have to restore the Data Partition of EMUI..will try and give you a Update

EDIT: Update bia Hisuite worked..running B389 now and making now a backup via twrp and after iam restoring Backup of LOS :) very simple way to work with EMUI and LOS# BIG THANK YOU [MENTION=6435663]hackslash[/MENTION]
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gus194:
Well I fixed it after a night of stress and no sleep. I used DC Phoenix to remove the FRP Lock and flash the ROM files via bootloader, it cost me 15 Euros but it's better than a bricked phone. I'm currently downloading B162 with Erecovery, thanks to everyone who tried to help me, I appreciate it guys.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
What's your phone model again? That's a bit weird. Erecovery should downlosd B360 instead of 162.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gus194:
L04
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
B360 downloaded for me in erecovery before. But nevertheless you can just manually update, so that's still good.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Corax26:
Hi guys. Now that this ROM looks about stable, I'd like to try it out. However, I have to say that Huawei made the whole update procedure very unintuitive (why the f*** can't OEMs use fastboot!), and I'm confused about what *exactly* should be done to flash this ROM (I think the last 10 pages proved it's not that simple).

I currently run Resurrection Remix 6.0.1 (which works pretty well, but the lack of FPS is quite annoying, and it's rather outdated now). Coming from there, what procedure should I follow? First flash EMUI 5.x B385, and then RROS? Is there a clear guide on how to flash EMUI 5 coming from an M ROM (not EMUI 4.x)?

Thanks for your help!
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Corax26:
Sorry, may not have been clear enough. I have already unlocked the bootloader (first thing I did when I bought my H8 in fact), and I am currently running Resurrection Remix 6.0.1, so yes a custom ROM (M-based).
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SharxX8:
Yes , you should update EMUI first.

Look through the last couple pages of this thread.

Should answer your question
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Corax26:
I have read about the last 10 pages, and yes it somewhat answers my question, but also leaves me quite worried that I won't do exactly the right thing. I'm sure a short guide in the OP or a separate thread would help a lot of people, at least to explain how to flash the right FW, and when downgrading is first necessary (and how to do it). To be clear, I'm not blaming anyone, I know this is time-consuming and most of us don't enjoy explaining things for the 10th time, but I think this would be very useful for the community as a whole :)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
I went through this journey yesterday so let me describe you, what needs to be done:

Download the following packages:

* (a) Honor 8_Rollback Package_FRD-L09_from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6. 0EMUI 4.1_C900B300_UK http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92131

* (b) Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI4.1_C432B131_United Kingdom". You'll find this on Huawei's support Page http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92101

Unpack both archives. You'll find a folder named dload in both archives.

Before you start, make sure to backup your data partition with twrp onto your sd card, since all data will be lost after the following steps.

* 1st put the dload folder from (a) into the root of your micro-sd-card (there is an update.app within the folder with a size of approx. 55mb).

* 2nd insert the micro-sd into your h8 and shut down the device. Press volume up down simultaneously and start the device. It will boot into the Huawei recovery and flash the first file.

* 3rd remove your micro-sd card and copy the dload folder from archive (b) (replace/delete the dload folder from archive (a))

* 4th follow step 2.

After a while you'll have a fresh Honor 8 with locked boot loader and EMUI 4.1. There is no need to enter all the google account data etc.. just skip everything and only connect to WiFi for the OTA updates.

Start the device, and you'll get the update to 360. After reboot, put in your SIM and get EMUI 380 via OTA, then after the next reboot you'll get EMUI 389 (this last update check can take a while).

Enable developer options and enable OEM unlock. Now you can go to the devices fast boot by turning it on and connecting it to your computer while holding volume down.

Now just "fastboot oem unlock <number>" and you can flash twrp and install RROS. Don't forget to format /data using eRecovery before you start playing with twrp since it's encrypted again.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
Then he can go on with step 3.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
in this case he can follow the steps in my post.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SharxX8:
Thanks for the guide [MENTION=1240160]faeArai[/MENTION]

I might do it as well at some point, though as I mentioned before I don't really see a reason to as of now coming from B380, since everything is working.

Little side note there though, when rotating the camera while using WhatsApp the app (or the picture specifically,i can still back out) freezes, might be due to myself tinkering with Team Blackouts Whatsapp version, I don't know.

But has anyone else experienced that? Is it related to the rom or the older EMUI base?

( It's not a big deal, if I rotate before opening the camera it works fine, so I'm just curious)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Corax26:
Thanks [MENTION=7824497]Rommco05[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1240160]faeArai[/MENTION] for your answers! Given that I'm already on M, I suppose I don't need to rollback and can directly flash B131. However, coming back to [MENTION=7824497]Rommco05[/MENTION]'s comment, does the eRecovery method (dload folder on the SD card) work if TWRP is installed? If not, how can I flash the FW from TWRP? Sorry if that's going a bit off-topic, I'm mainly asking here because I didn't find any thread about flashing FWs in general.

[MENTION=6752554]SharxX8[/MENTION]: I'm experiencing exactly this WhatsApp issue on RR 6, so if other people don't experience it it is probably due to your EMUI base (but as you can see I'm not an expert ;) ).
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] faeArai:
I don't know which step it was but after I did a and b, twrp was gone. I think that b with the 2gb update removes everything.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
Yes it will be gone. Full stock firmwares have the recovery.img inside.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ganeshbiyer:
