You need to click 3 dots and download the most recent software, then it will start with the correct download.

Quando mandi l'update al sistema di aggiornamento premi i tre pallini in alto a destra e premi su "scarica aggiornamento più recente", così ti mostra il pacchetto corretto.

When you send the update to the upgrade system, press the three dots in the top right and press "Download latest update", so it shows you the correct package.

I've been confirmed, by huawei customer service : OTA broadcast is sequential and based on IMEI.

So, we have to wait until an official OTA to be pushed to our devices when, or a "-PV" version on FF (and not OTA or FullOTA), based on previous experience
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Well bro , sometimes it depends on Carrier too .but in case of honor they release updates with imei . But there is one issue. My honor 8 is a US model and i rebranded it to indian model . In this case imei wont come into play . They release update to Public for who ever meets the minimal requirements for update

Hi, in this way I managed to download the 716mb package, but It fails to install because it is not authorized.

As he did not mention setting FF proxy, Imho he just got standard OTA :)

WiFi works perfect in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Battery seems a bit better but I can't quantify.

No issues so far. BT ON/OFF solved and now is snappy as it should be.

During this morning, using Chrome, screen light was just fine, varying when sunlight did vary.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
Better than B380 as it was my previous...

SOT seems better and RAM management also seems better as free memory is higher.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] alekos panagulis:
But he wrote: send firmware to updater, so I must suppose is FF.

Morevoer, I do not undertsand what is the meaning of: Check availability with IMEI and was available. How do I do that?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
Normal procedure from FF is : Send to updater, then set proxy for your WiFi ap (which he did not say he did, so I suppose he did not), then look for update in settings app.

So for me he simply got ota (glad for him, I wish I could too :))

In FF you can check if an update is available for your model, but that does not mean you are eligible to get it right now (imei sequence)

For norml photo phone use left camera, when i cover right one, nothing happend. For monochrome it used right camera, when i cover left, nothing happend

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
The B/W mode is present and if you cover the colour lens, it will work the same.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
I will rephrase:

I said if I cover the colour lens, it will take the B/W photo. It means it's true B/W, otherwise it would warn about covering the lens. It means it doesn't use colour lens for B/W photo.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
But here if i cover the colour lense. It will have whole black as i covered the camera .but doesn't take a b/w photo
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
So this means, we weren't able to use both cameras, but after this update it works as intended (like the p9 and p10).

Just connect your Phone via USB to your PC, start HiSuite and it finds an update B389. Then install it with HiSuite, that's all.

I'm on B380, just received B389 notification for 659Mb of update.

I'm actually rooted and with TWRP, to update it's normal process to unroot, reflash recovery and then go easily with the update?

So:

Unroot

reflash recovery

Relock

Reboot and update

Unlock

Recovery

Root

Right? At least is the beginning of the weekend..

but as it looks like they have not just improved our phone with the new system

But as it looks like the OTA update is comming to huge number of countries at once

Only yesterday for what I know all europe got the update..

It seems Honor will improve.. hope so.. it is for their own good and to gain customers

You're right, they are on the right way to beat rivals (like oneplus)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] tuxo87:
So today I got B389 on OTA but whenever it reboots to install the update, it boots into TWRP and spams some error message for a fraction of second that I can't read. Can I fix this? Like, revert back to stock recovery and do the update like it's supposed to?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brljak83:
That would be the best thing to do..

Maybe to rollback to MM to get it like out of the box just to be sure that everything should work normal

But then you have to root unlock and twrp install all over again if you would like to have it that way
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
A roll back is the best option for you
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] tinnef:
I went back to stock recovery, but still got an error with the quick update. After downloading the full update it flashed without a problem.

I suspect that the full version will also work in twrp.

Hello!

There's no need to lock bootloader in order to update.

You must have stock recovery, not TWRP, and flashing stock boot won't hurt, even though I've already flashed updates while using patched boot.img's without any issues.

About this B389 update in particular, I've made it through hicare (PC) and it went all OK.

Previous backups still being an obligation though!

Happy updates ;)

Hello

Works fine for me. B389 is better than B381 for my point of view. Otherwise, I made a wipe cache partition for more stability
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] elevenseventy7:
since i got it 5 months ago its the first time i had a prob with honor 8, 380, 381, 387(i think) were fine, very good battery , android system like 15% and all day like 4hr sot and still 30% batt left. i have no fb, i use greenify, all google **** is off, just 2 sims with 2 whats ups and calls sms maybe a picture, i have s8 too....

after this update batery went from 11.00 60% to 15.00 (6hr) in 10%, usually i charge max 1 time a day for 30 mins max... 30-90%,

so the firm is the prob because it never behaved like that....

can u tell me how to reset it to 387 please?

thanks
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:

thank for reply 1st of all,

i have battery trouble, after last update b389 i had twice consumption, the phone usually last more than 1 day use but today 60% batt went off in 6 hours almost all in pocket, sot like 30 mins max today, android from 15% consumption that were usually (i think) was almost 40% today. other things i dont know , now i did a factory reset and im w8 to see if batt will be norm,

i have a L09c423b389, before this i had 381 or 387 i dont remember cuz i receive them automatically....

now i want to go back like 5 days ago (i think i had the last update before 389 because they were very close so must been the 387 i had? ),

it was ok before, more than 5hr sot, all day 2 sims 2 whatsups and other comunication apps and consuption was max 70% from 9am to 9pm....

when i had honor first was MM, that it updated to nougat than had another or 2 updates and the last 1 was this 389
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] elevenseventy7:
i didnt use the phone in MM, when i get it 1st day it automatically received the nougat and emui5, so i was all time in nougat,

i received 2 updates before and never had a factory reset and was fine, this 1 went with bad batt, i will w8 till tomorrow than i rollback and install b387 from FF...

what is normal consumption for androidSystem? i had like almost 40% today... before last update i remember it like 15% if im not wrong...

u say bad batt cuz i never did a reset or wipe?

Hi there. I have been waiting for the L09 B389 OTA update for a while and checking updates did nothing for me. But then i clicked the three dots in the top right of the updater app and pressed "Download last full update package" and then updater found and began downloading the B389 firmware.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
It reduces the resolution a bit. For example in Youtube, there are 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 1080p resolution options. A bit similar to this but EMUI reduces the resolution almost unnoticeable.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
I had this before in B360.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Yes. It gave me like 30 mins more of battery life. I didn't use it that much.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Yeah they drastically improved it. As for battery saver, the default in EMUI 5 doesn't help at all.

Hi There,

Does anybody use this beauty with two sim cards? Unfortunately on B389 dual-sims keep restarting after a minute or so which is very annoying during calls. I have already (a few) factory reset and still the same issue. The weird thing is that I haven''t got this problem on previous versions. I have switched sim cards with same result. With a single card there is no problem. For the time being I went back to B381.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] netvorCZEK:
Running B389 with two simcards and I didn't noticed any issue with it, maybe try another SIMs, or udpate to B389 once more.

Are you sure you flashed the correct data_hw paxkage after the update.zip? If you don't or for instance flash hw_eu version which is for frd-l09 on th frd-l04 this typically results in crashes or missing functionalities.

Also, you're in a wrong thread so i suggest you start a new one in the correct subforum.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mwatson:
Are you saying battery drain is still there on B389? If so thats because its on Android 7.0 which caused battery drain on all phones including the Pixel. Only way to cure this drain is fro Honor to move to 7.1 but what are the chances of that? even the Huawei branded phones are still on 7.0
