[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Just to inform and not for any argument, to clarify my point, i am involved in many threads because i have many phones with me, 6 honor phones to be precise ATM. I do not have 8 pro currently but i had and used it so i know in an out.

I posted all my guides for rooting, debranding, themes, restoring something only after trying it myself and thats why I am sure it will work.

For other part, emui is same and it works same on all devices so if there are users having issues, we can always help by our experience. Just because someone is ignorant and do not follow instructions, we can not help. I have restored many user's phone on PM, threads and telegram. I have even taken remote on pc and helped many. I never asked anyone to start a thread for help so that i can join and post, i just helped.

For update part, i know the beta is started and there is nothing wrong if i share something with fellow members.

Anyone can check my guides and report or provide feedback if they feel something os not working but most of the time, or almost always, its individual having issue rather than the process.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arhs2009:
Well I accept it, my bad, but i didnt point it on you. Secondly, most of the times, process is also with error, u may say it is a communication error or understnding error. Whatever, there are 100 ways to say it.

I dont know if u hav helped or whtevr but I blv, its always the process,bcz whenevr I write something, I write it considering the person who doesnt even know basics of it.

To be a gud mentor, u need be a gud student. Thats all.

Well thank you, I will definitely contact you next time when my phone will be completely dead with norhing in hand.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

Well, guys, I believe evryone is gud with smthng and other and u all would be great developers. I am not any developer.

But a lot of things have changed after oreo update, all partitions and even their driving parameters have changed. Ur traditional 3key method so called dload method, stock rom installation doesnt work if ur phone is bricked while upgrading to oreo. It will only work if company will release rollback update or something. U can't go directly to stock rom/downgrade once upgraded to oreo.

So no one can really say that emui will work the same way in evry device. There are many ways to deal with same problem.

If a person is curious about ripe mango, u are answering that farmer has sown the seeds or u are answering look look i saw a mango on the tree. Let it ripe and fall.

Whatevr, sorry to all, if u r really feeling offended.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Not at all bro. You had your point and you have every right to say. I always write my guide as a noob user, i am not developer :silly:

Check couple of my guides for rooting 6X, or debranding(links in my signature) and provide feedback there or on PM. I always try to write below my guide for any feedback and I am sure you can help for improvement. Thanks in advance.

Also, I can help for emui 4 and EMUI 5, haven't played with oreo yet. Once done, i can surely help or atleast try my best to extend help.

Lets not discuss further here, anyone can report us :good: :highfive:

According to information from honor care, they have successfully tested oreo build for honor 8 pro.

Device is compatible and stable with oreo beta. They may soon release oreo update for honor 8 pro.

Honor support mentioned this to me, but they don't have any timeline.

Will they feature AI (artificial intelligency) functioning and face unlock in emui 8 for honor 8 pro ?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arhs2009:
They are taking feedbacks from customers so everyone can call them and ask for thease features so that they wud keep this in notice.

Further this device supports AI, face unlocking feature, dual 4g active feature, Video calling and wifi calling
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] devanshu99:
Are you talking about Honor 8 pro in last two lines ? Is AI and face unlocking features available in beta emui 8?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arhs2009:
Nope, phone has hardware support for few AI features and rest of the features I mentioned, so they can enable it if they wud want to give support for these features.

One plus is giving face unlock to its older one plus 3...so honor should give honor 8 pro this feature..?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Honor 8 pro can be compared with OP5 as they launched almost simultaneously in India. So, if OP can provide face unlock to OP5, Honor too should give it to Honor 8 pro.

CNET, Techradar and some other webs are talking about Honor starting today the rollout of Oreo for Honor 9 and 8 Pro, but no news here. Weird.

[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Hmm... We have to wait then.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] abhimanyu.singh:
I hope without IMEI access works as I'm downloading already..

hey guys.. sorry i've got a little confused.. while waiting for Oreo update i decided to install latest B189-FULL update but obviously i've got error cause right now i've TWRP /rooted / unlocked bootloader !

I'm on Duk-l09c432 (not rebranded ) ! Should i install stock recovery to install that update? if so.. where can i get official stock recovery?

I hope i'm not OT .. just got confused on the many info i've read about it ... thank you !
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Allek84:
Yes,you must install stock recovery.Someobody will provide you link to recovery i guess.

Without IMEI approval, updates can't be applied from firmware finder.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Allek84:
I think they can, i did one update on my P10 and i check confirmation fw without imei check.I m sure.

Poslato sa DUK-L09 uz pomoć Tapatoka
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
I read their FAQ and it was written there that if the imei approval for update fails in the app, we can't install the firmware.

Now, I have never tried it and I don't even want to because the update is close to 3gb size and I have a locked bootloader, so, I don't wanna take any risks.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] abhimanyu.singh:
You sure?

As I see a guy above tried but resulted in failure. I downloaded 100% but don't wanna install.. even guys from firmware finder confirmed we can't install if fails at IMEI check.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Allek84:
I did that on P10 before a month. I m pretty sure.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] abhimanyu.singh:
Why I asked is I can't afford to loose 3 GB of data again man. That guys above told it failed and deleted the firmware so only not installing even after downloading..

Update: fck with 3GB data. Gonna try now. A bit in kick with old monk.. will try updating now. And will let you guys know if I am able to update or fails..
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
If you have the file, B189-Full, you can extract the stock recovery via Huawei extractor and flash as usual via fastboot

i'm gonna do that now :D

In simple words fck.... Update unauthorised and packages deleted. Nothing happened except 3 GB lost.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] simika:
so.. i installed stock recovery.. downloaded again 3gb of update... rebooted,,, and update does not start ! i jsut get DOWNLOAD and update .. i can't install the update... any suggestions?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Allek84:
You must flash rollback fw and than flash wished version of Nougat.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] simika:
woaw.. seriously? so right now i'm on b183 and to update to 189 i need to rollback and then flash this version?

so probably it'll wipe everything? if that's the case i better wait for Oreo then...

no other way to update nougat to b189 ?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Allek84:
Yes, that wipe everything. You must to do rollback with dload method i guess.

Poslato sa DUK-L09 uz pomoć Tapatoka
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Rollback will wipe everything.

You can just use full firmware of b189 and use dload to update without data loss
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] simika:
m friend.. just one more question.. there are 3 files in the firmware update:

update.zip

update_data_full_public

update_full_duk-l09_hw_eu.zip

should i just go with update.app from update.zip? thanks !!!
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Update.app will do major update and other 2 zips, one of them should contain the update.app in them as well of around 100+ MB.

So basically you have to flash 2 zips, one update.zip and one of the other zip which has update.app

oh well my 2 cents experience ( heart attack LOL) so to get latest update while(b189) while i was rooted and bootloader unlocked i tried dload and also [REBRANDING][RESTORING] AIO Guide by OldDroid

the part of :

3. Updating to unapproved OTAs

well nothing worked.. but then i installed :

DUK-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img

DUK-RECOVERY2-NoCheck.img

from the same page and i downloaded the official update ( through system update) ... actually i didn't have to download cause i saved it last time.. when " new update " start just stop SYSTEM update and clear cache...

then start it again and it'll recognize the file.. do it again and it'll show you in the next run 100% veryfing...

system has boot and installed all update without any glitch ! when it restarted o've got STUCK at HONOR blue screen... PANIC... after few minutes i decided to restart VOLUP + VOL DOWn + POWER

it went into recovery and told me SOFTWARE INSTALL FAILED... only option i had was to " reboot " ... and then it rebooted in b189 !

i've lost root.. and i've phone locked and FRP unlock !! that is my experience :P

P.S. i didn't lose data....

Which particular features are u asking for? U can't tell by seeing it and I don't own honor view10, so really can't tell.

No scene recognition feature in camera.

No translator.

No face unlock feature.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Let me clear this once and for all. The AI functionality that EMUI8 has is software based that means "the software tracks your usage and better allocates resources to keep your phone running smoothly". Just that. This so called AI functionality was also present in EMUI 5.1 and thus, is present in all honor devices.

The particular AI functionality of the honor view 10 is because of the NPU that's present in Kirin 970 chipset. This NPU results in features such as automatic scene recognition in camera, language translation, etc. There's no huge usage of the NPU that makes a night and day difference.

The face unlock that's in view 10 and coming to 7x is software based just like its in Oneplus devices. Don't compare it to the Apple's face unlock.

P.S - The developer team of honor is looking for bringing face unlock to honor 8 pro in future updates.

So, Impressions in first few hours.

The device feels snappier, faster and reboots faster.

The settings has been reorganized majorly and therefore, it feels a little tough to find different settings.

There's a navigation dock as an option to replace the navigation bar.

The height of navbar has increased a bit.

There's no equalizer and no double tap to wake.

Project treble is supported.

You can manually set the screen resolution now.

There's a recycle bin in gallery now.

There's a game suite option.

There's portrait mode for front camera.

There's moving capture photo for the rear camera.

The vibration seems to be fine tuned better.

The lowest brightness seems to be lower than what was on nougat.

EMUI8 doesn't support that cool and colored notification style for media players.
