[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
THIS THREAD IS WIP FOREVER

So , while writing this thread, i had a bit of confusion where to start as here am posting as many problems that users normally face which may be related to flashing (before,while and after). So most problems starts up after flashing . since there as a sequence which i wrote before, lets begin with "BEFORE" followed by "WHILE" and "AFTER". This isnt a grammer class so stop holding ur nerves and lets come to the point.​

BEFORE FLASHING :

Mostly People as a few questions related to "How to root" , if he/she got this doubt. So here we begin

Problems we usually face while unlocking a bootloader.

I am New here, plz help me to unlock bootloader

If u wants to unlock bootloader,kindly refer this thread

I am not able to unlock bootloader even after having unlock code, plz help me

well, plz eanble developer options by heading over to settings/about phone and tab on build number for 7 times and fget back to settings followed by developer options and check for oem unlock and plz enable it. Done , now ur code works to unlock ur bootloader from fastboot.

Iam not able to unlock bootloader due to honor site saying "INVALID CREDENTIALS" , "PLEASE ENTER A VALID IMEI/S.NO/MODEL NUMBER"

Well, i am sorry to say u this.

Here we had only two solutions.

1) If u wants to unlock your bootloader for free, plz contact honor support and give them the required info , if they gave u an unlock code then plz use it.

2) This is a paid service . i never used this but heard success from the one's who tried this. Try DC-UNLOCKER

I unlocked bootloader, but twrp wont boot after flashing it.

Check if the FRP status on fastboot is unlocked . If it is locked, then u cant flash anything even on an unlocked bootloader.

AFTER FLASHING

So here u flashed a twrp recovery. Here i see most of them asking a common question

i just installed twrp, flashed LOS ROm but am not able to boot it, stuck at bootanimation, or IS IN BOOTLOOP..

If you are having above questions, then am pretty sure u forgot to install vendor.zip .

if u dont know whats vendor.zip and where to find it. kindly check here and then u go.

i just installed twrp, flashed LOS ROM but am not able to remove encryption.

Plz always install a latest version of twrp :cool: , just wipe data,cache, and dalvik/RT cache . flash the rom and gapps(optional) also make a factory reset after flashing so that we can confirm that u are safe side:cool:

I flashed an "X" rom , booted and using that since "n" number of days, the battery is draining heavily. Plz help me.

Plz contact the developer of ur rom and provide them proper logs to solve ur issue.

OTHER ISSUES:

MY DEVICE STRUCK ON NRD-TESTKEYS AS BUILD NUMBER AND AM NOT ABLE TO FLASH ANY ROM /CANT UPDATE/...

This is a severe issue,

The reason behind this problem is , U flashed an ota update with twrp and then the flashing is incomplete . just like u flashed an update.zip and not the regional zip.

in order to over come such , all u need to do is reset the version number.

LO4 users plz flash this zip from twrp and then flash ur desired update.app build for LO4.

LO2 users plz flash this zip from twrp and then flash ur desired update.app build for LO2.

L19 users plz flash this zip from twrp. [zip has update.app in it andd flash directly [Thanks to @Venugopalu007 ]

I WANTS TO REBRAND MY HONOR 8 TO CERTAIN VARIANT. HOW TO DO THAT ?

REBRAND TO LO4 ----plz flash this zip from twrp and then flash ur desired update.app build for LO4.

REBRAND TO LO2 ----plz flash this zip from twrp and then flash ur desired update.app build for LO2.

REBRAND TO L19 ----plz flash this zip from twrp. [zip has update.app in it andd flash directly [Thanks to @Venugopalu007 ]

PHONE'S GETTING HOT DURING CAMERA

Long duration usage may heatup camera, close camera or flashlight to avoid heating issue.

I HAVE ISSUE WITH COMPASS , DO I NEED TO RECALIBRATE OR ELSE ANY OTHER ISSUE?

Compass on stock rom is well calibrated. plz make sure if there is something that effects compass in ur surroundings. (magnets, wifi router close to u etc)

SYSTEM UI REBOOTS WHILE NFC IS TURNED ON

That may be an issue with the theme u are using, kindly change ur theme or revert to origioanl theme from themes app.
