Hello,

In order to redirect to L09, do I've to get the firmware of L09 from the first page. Or can I directly get and flash latest b392sp01? Can i rebrand it by directly flashing b392sp01 over L02-340?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
No , you have to flash my frdl09 zip and then flash the b392sp01 update zips , first update_hw_full_eu big name zip and add more zips and add update.zip ok then after reboot to recovery , u will be rebooted to stock recovery there do a format factory reset .

I am again tell u the order in twrp

1.My frdl09 zip add more zips

2.update_full_hw_eu.zip. Big name zip

3.update.zip

Then reset once in stock recovery .
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Bro there is problem with dl00 devices, it was not updating over b380 . U can also ask [MENTION=1962942]Huntervn[/MENTION]
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spica1234:
What does "add more zips" mean? More zips like my personal zips like supersu etc?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
No , in twrp add more zips option bro
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spica1234:
Oh okay. Got it thanks. After first flashing your L09. Can i directly flash latest firmware or one by one incremental OTAs, like we install on new phone?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
After flashing my zip u can flash the ota of that version, but after flashing u have to do a reset in stock recovery .
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] s2_maicon:
I tried, friend. But it restarts in b360 after the upgrade.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

thank you friend. So does it mean that even b380 was supposed to work out?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
[MENTION=1962942]Huntervn[/MENTION] is succesfully get worked into b380 , u can ask him how he done that ,i didnt remember what he said on that day :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] s2_maicon:
I sent him a private message. Let's wait for him to respond. I really wanted to upgrade to at least the b380 version.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
[MENTION=8331950]venugopalu007[/MENTION]

I successfully rebranded my device. However, I received the OTA update to B360 but I am not receiving any further OTA updates. So should I just grab the latest FULL B394 update and flash it through fastboot?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Try to flash firmwares using twrp.

I jumped like that but to b392sp01 not tested to b394.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Gopal i told u not to recommend flashing updates with twrp.

And as for hackslash, is he on L09 or else L04? I see L02 had b340 as last update i installed
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
I think He is on l09 .

Gopi bro i encountered a issue while rebranding after b360 the updates are really damn slow . After i rebrand i got update after several days later. Also the rebranding to latest version of dl00 version devices won't work . They working fine up to b380 . After that they are not working.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
It is perfectly fine to flash firmwares in TWRP. It made rebranding really easy. However after flashing the firmware you should perform a full factory reset to fix the encryption issue.

I'll try flashing the B394 firmware as it ends with MF (I think MF firmwares can be flashed via TWRP). Let's see how it goes. Oh but before I do it, I have to download the 2 GB files on my damn slow 1 Mbps connection which is shared by four people so I'll share the results tonight.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Well bro. It is ok for the people who can unbrick when ithe device does. But here many people faced issues by flashing through twrp. :D

And that 1mbps is a damn connection. I wonder how u managed to sync 30+gb of source.:rolleyes:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHunterVN:
Yeah. This is my situation. DL00 finally rebrand to L09 and can update to b380. But all later update, it's stuck at honer loading screen

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Yes please
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Any solution for above question bro
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
I have servers with 1 Gbps speed ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Cool :cool:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
1 Gbps ? Hahaha . So the source sync in 30-60seconds. My server takes a minute or two based on the number of jobs i assign :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingpenguin001:
How does rebranding helps? Pros n cons?? Just curious to know if i can try this on my Honor 8 or not?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Well i got my honor 8 from US and i need volte for my carrier to support calls. For that i rebranded to indian version. Rebranding helped me that way.

You should decide why u wants to rebrand and which region firmware is needed to cover ur issue.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
For volte feature.

And from Chinese version to eu to get the gapps(google services).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
You can install Google Play Services on Chinese variants. Personally, I love Chinese variants for their music and video services and also because they get the latest Android and EMUI updates periodically.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
What are those specific music and video services?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Well the music service allows you to listen and download songs (which is purely illegal) and the videos service allows you to watch movies, seasons (they have a good collection of Hollywood and anime).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
And the music service also has all the latest English music?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Songs and movies ? English language ??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingpenguin001:
This seems to be interesting. :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
i want to know answer for this.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
You need to be connected to China VPN to access English content because there service is purely illegal.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Awesome bro really thanks for such great info! :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Oh yeah!! I will try this.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Were you able to flash B394 via Twrp?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Nope. Unfortunately the firmware was online firmware which can't be flashed in TWRP, only PV ones can be flashed using TWRP. However, I hacked the stock recovery to bypass authentication checks and was hence able to install the update using the modified stock recovery.

Hello!

I'm in troubles again!

I own a Chinese Honor 8 FRD-AL10.

It was running EMUI 4.1, Android 6.0, FRD-AL10C00B175.

I've read all about this NEW [GUIDES] [REBRAND] HONOR 8 TO FRD-L19,09 and I understand I could rebranding my phone too.

I downloaded the files that are linked in op, I followed the guide, and while I was flashing the FRD-L19C432B..FRD.zip the phone turned off and now it no longer gives any sign of life of any kind, except when I connect it to pc and type "fastboot devices" so that I can see its serial number.

A similar thing had already happened before and to fix it, I had to pay 15 EUR and use DC Phoenix to unbick the phone. Do you know how to help me?

Rebrand FRD-L14 from FRD-L04

Hello All - Just wondering if anyone has a "rebrand" version that is flashable via TWRP; similar to the L19 version found here > https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220/post72937700#post72937700

Filename: FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip

I believe this was created off of the FRD-L19C423B131 Firmware's "UPDATE.APP" file by using Huawei MT app. I have been attempting to create a similar zip file but it does not seem that Huawei MT has a support for L14 at the moment.

Little brief summary of why I am in search of this rebranding zip file.

> Accidentally wiped my internal storage (NOOB ACT :( for sure)

> Able to restore my phone by using the FRD-L19 rebranding software found in the above link

> Followed instructions on how to convert to FRD-L04, but ....

I would like to get back to L14 my device's original model number.

To note after I was able to successful rebrand from L19 to L04, I followed instructions here > https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/help/help-bricked-honor-8-frd-l14-t3674679/page2 (Post #15)

Everything goes through just fine however after the last step my phone was still set as an L04 model with a build number of FRD-C567B162. strange as I thought the build number would be something like FRD-L14C567B162

Just wondering as to where I may have gone wrong as the post suggested, it worked in restoring an L14 model.

Any help would be great....

Appreciate your time to review my post... :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flip360:
Hello,

I changed my region with the MT method you mentioned and went from L09-C185 (Middle East) to L09-C432 (EU) succesfully.

I have the L09-C432B131 hw-eu zip created from MT lying around if you want to try and flash it in TWRP, BUT mind you, i dont know how it would affect other region hw because i had L09 right from the start,

Rebranded Honor 8 update

Hi guys. I rebranded my Chinese AL10 to L19 following this method successfully. I updated to B360 with no problems, but I wanted to get a more recent update, given that some people had battery problems with it and I have seen that B399 and B400 solve the issue. I tried to update through twrp or manually update using the dload method, but the latest version that seems to work out of everything I tried was B380. With the rest either the update fails or it seems to update ok and then goes into a bootloop. Did anyone manage to update to a more recent verison? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
