[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
We can't install these test updates.

When it will be public, we'll get an installable version, "-PV".

Imho,we shouldn't be able to see these test updates if we can't install them... And​ so noone would be complaining and losing time trying to install them... :)

Anyway, I have a pretty decent bettery life with latest installable version, B381, a clean install.

It's less than with emui 4, but I can use my phone for 1.5 day without charging it, which is normal with a smartphone imho.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SALENTINVM:
Hi there. I'm stuck on B380 too. Is the B381 better? About the battery after a calibratione i'm back to my usual 4/5 hours with Nougat, surely it's far away from the 7 hours of MM, but it's still enough fot 1.5 days of intense usage.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] evilpaul13:
The Android version of Firmware Finder wants to be able to make and receive calls and hasn't done **** for me in months, so I uninstalled it.

Ads plus showing me software I can't use somewhat diminished its value for me.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tomar777:
if you check within FF, the OTA B381 is now approved for instalation. it was there for a long time, but now you can install it.

The other versions go via TWRP for example B386 full works too.

And yes the adds thing is rediculus in this app
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SALENTINVM:
I just tried to download the pv version. After the download it gives me the usual error

Is it safe? Do I risk anything?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
That's how I installed B381 some weeks ago, dload method :)

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

You mean you could install B386 with Twrp ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Asus-Tek:
When a isntall new budil a must first use update.zip and next use update_data_full_hw_eu.zip?? If I use only update.zip what happens?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] MrThomasAnderson:
Got B381 today. All good so far. Bit more free RAM. Just sharing info :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
You'll get half update, ie build version can be inaccurate (it may show previous version), and other half updated things
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tomar777:
A guy in the greek forum did. But i dont want to mess up with twrp , root etc again
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
I don't use root nor unlocked bootloader, so I can't tell. I think it's been asked before, in this thread or some other one in Honor 8 section.

Did you tried changing both sims?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] rulla:
Not yet, at the moment I don't have time for the upgrade because I spent already too much time with no luck. Updated twice, once with HiCare and once with regular OTA, but will give it try with another SIMs soon.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Alright man. Goodluck with that. Let me know what happens.

Magazine unlock bugged since b389. I have about 20 pics but usually only a few of them loads and restarting causes to load pics but still only 5-6 randomly not all the pictures.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
I'm on b385 (l04) and I don't have this issue
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
I have been testing till now b389. Battery life is increased and the phone is more smooth. Only problem that still remains is screen dimming. What a pity :(

EDIT

I forgot to say, the phone becomes hotter when in highly usage. But maybe it depends on summer temperatures, (35-38 °C in my town) XD
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] dedovec:
Can you guys resize the stock power widget? For me is impossible even after factory reset. This is feature or it's a bug?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
I don't know, once I reach my honor 8 I'll tell you
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] DDragonDD:
OK guys. I must ask for it but. In first sorry for my english - still learning. I have som problems witth Honor 8. On firmware 380 i did ulnock bootloader an it was fine, then i flash TWRP 3.1.1.1 and it was fine then i try to update via OTA (now i know that this was mistace) and then in try to update was error.

Now i have FLD-L09C432B381 firmware but i don't have option "Update" or something like that in settings.

I tryied to flash the newest system with thise metod for 389

Update

But with files "update.zip" and "update_full_FRD-Lxx_hw_eu.zip" it was ending with "error 7" and after reboot it was still 381.

After any error i try i did factory reset.

Now i have TWRP, firmware 381 and no "Update" option in settings.

My quastion is - do i can get clean instalation for Honor 8 with original recovery (even if bootloader will be relocked)? If it is some metod (i alredy try about 5 diferent metods) to get very clean system on Honor 8?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brynjolf:
My phone randomly wakes up, even though it is lying alone without being touched. I don't have Google Voice or Huawei voice activated. How do I find out what is causing this issue? When it wakes up I can see it is using the WIFI, it is downloading / uploading like 3-4 kbps. Also no notifications are being made.

I uninstalled instagram and onedrive but no change. Anyone have any tips of finding out what is causing the screen to light up?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Please list here all the apps you installed. It must be caused by one of them.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dilan49:
The guide that you used is not tested and it will not work anyway! Tere are a lot of these guides on the internet wrote from bad bloggers only for money!

Can't flash b389 with twrp, all attempts will fail. You must reinstall stock huawei recovery, then update from settings to b389 and after if you want you can reinstall twrp recovery. For install huawei stock recovery you must flash from twrp the two files of b381 with .zip extension; search on internet b381 firmware for your honor 8 version and then download the two files. The compromises to upgrade to b389 with internal settings of the phone are:

1. Original stock huawei recovery

2. No root!

After that you flash the two files of b381 with twrp you will discover that you have clean partition system ( no root ) and original huawei recovery. Good luck!

[MENTION=7824497]Rommco05[/MENTION]: thanks redirecting me to the right thread. Not sure what you mean by System Updater? I'm not on EMUI, and I can't remember what version I had before flashing RR 6 (that was in December). If I relock the bootloader, will it automatically restore a stock EMUI?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
No dude , you should flash update.app
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dilan49:
Did you try to check if there is a virus from an antivirus? Try to remember the last apps that you have installed and try to remove these. If the issue will persist i advice you to try this methods from custom recovery: for 1st dalvik and cache wipe (you can do this also from original huawei recovery). After try to reboot for see if the problem persist ; for 2nd data wipe (will erase all apps you installed) and first to reboot redo dalvik and cache wipe; for 3rd try to reinstall system partition of your rom and after dalvik, cache wipe. If you have not installed custom recovery you must enter in original recovery for perform a factory reset. ( this will wipe your internal storage from all your files like photos, apps and settings!)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
My frn , there will be no virus in above situation. Thanks for trying to help
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Corax26:
Again, I am not on EMUI, I am using a custom ROM. I guess it boils down to flashing B131 as discussed in the other thread, then use the system updater to go to the latest EMUI 5.x, then unlock the bootloader / flash TWRP / flash RROS. Am I missing something? Do I need to relock the bootloader manually?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
U dont need to relock bootloader. As u try to install an update.app while reverting to stock , it will automatically relock ur bootloader (if u are reverting to stock from emui5) .
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dilan49:
Why are you so sure that the cause of the issue can't be virus?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Cause the virus in pc is different from android . If u say any virus infected a phone, then there were many cases for that . Like if there are as many vulnerabilities. Then the app can root the device or it can gain admin permissions, it may have Integrated itself into system , or just get installed and have no UI , later it wont let u uninstall but stay in background by sending ur personal info to the traitor .it may sound like keylogger . I dont think all above havnt happend in ur phone as google kept on closing all the vulnerabilities and loopholes with their monthly security patches
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dilan49:
Thank you for your explanation. I think so that with nougat we have minor risks from viruses but i think

also that there are a little bit of possibilities to take one... With lollipop my father took virus with stock rom and with no root. The phone was unusable (and very hot!) and all apps crashed or processed very very slowly. Before i tried with factory reset from phone settings (original recovery) but this did not need for erase all bad files, when i reboot the phone the virus reinstalled their apps from internet. I solved flashing twrp recovery and performing a factory reset from it, after i flashed clean system partition.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
That sounds good , i never heard a person taking virus from android phone,u are first one. Hope u fixed it somehow
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dilan49:
It's not a lie, i'm serious. Lollipop had many vulnerabilities in that time, i was surprised to see this case, also for me was the first time. If i fixed that virus is thanks to developers like you that developed custom recovery and other projects. I hope that with nougat (and with b389 version in this case) these things are not possible. Tough all thanks go to devs, for these cases the projects that you develop are very helpful! Thanks all devs!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Am not criticizing my bro . There were phones which have a ****ty app that installs bloatware or adware automatically. U may have heard of a worst indian brand named micromax , they included a script in its system updater app in such a way that u cant freeze the updater and when u connect to data,it automatically installs tons of stupid apps automatically in the background without your notice. In that case u cant do anything except rooting ur phone
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Corax26:
Yep, I'm on the old RROS (M-based). I think that's clear now, thanks :) Regarding the stock recovery, do I need to flash it? If so, how?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
You can flash it through fastboot as well.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Corax26:
Oh right of course, for some reason I thought it was about the eRecovery... Where can I find stock recovery images?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Corax26:
That's an FRD-L09.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
You can download any FULL OTA from HERE, then you can extract the recovery.img inside.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Is that for L04?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
US variant of honor 8!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Corax26:
Oh I see, just extract it from the full OTA, makes sense, thanks!

Hi [MENTION=5312802]Asus-Tek[/MENTION]

Yes, I am in B381 via FF of course.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SALENTINVM:
Last Week in the Sicily event Honor said that an update is coming this month. Probably it will be named B390 and it will provide April security patches and "other surprises". Sure thing is that something is moving, in the last few weeks 3 betas appeared in FF and anyway it was said that in summer something new was coming. Honestly I'm enjoying this phone like never before and it may be the first time that I don't need any update.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
What i can't understand is this: dou you think that with this updates they will fix the annoyng screen dimming in chorme, gmail, sms.... ?? So far they didn't (i'm stuck at b380). And guys do you have this problem?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
Ok thanks for reply. I hope they will fix this in the future anyway, i think it's an user's choice to save or not battery in any way!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] BnK1986:
No new infos about B389?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
Let's hope :). However i have usually arguments with people that say they have not screen dimming! They insist also! All devices with emui 5 i have tried, have screen dimming (including p10, p10 lite, ecc.) I think they are blind!!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Back when I had B360 and B385, I only see the dimming in Messaging.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
Yes, dimming obviously is not so strong, i saw it because i want to, but saying that it DOESN'T exist.... [emoji20]
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
I don't understand what "dimming" you're talking about... You mean screen brightness changes in these apps ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
Yes, screen brightness lowers, a little, in these apps (chrome, gmail, sms, ecc). When you close these app, brightness restores.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Like I said I only see it in Messaging.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
It's probably because of the white background I believe!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] KoumiCZ:
Dimming screen is on EMUI 5 after factory reset. Without factory reset on EMUI 5, dimming screen not.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
That is true. But if you activate power saving, even without factory reset, when you deactivate it you have screen dimming . Tried on my own honor 8 emui 5!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Leon Lambra:
Hope I can help you guys, screen dimming only happens in the above emntioned apps when the screen brightness on the Honor 8 is exactly above 10%, you can test this with the Screen Brightness App from CurveFish in the Playstore. This App lets you set the Brightness to any value you want. Anything above 10% will dimm the screen in the browser for example.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
Yes, and if you try with this app, above 71% too screen doesn't dim anymore. We have screen dimming between 10% and 71%.....
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] KoumiCZ:
Yes, you must never activate any other power mode. Also, you should not select the Optimize button in the Phone Manager app. It is worth paying attention!!!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] soap00:
I think all of this is quite funny. EMUI official developers worked really bad on emui 5, in my opinion.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] KoumiCZ:
Yes, EMUI 5.0 is a very poorly optimized ROM.
