[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Nope didn't update. It's not yet available in India.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] aKp1:
The update is still not available for download on OTA. Also no changes in the system unlike those on the chinese rom.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Their first priority right now should be to fix this jio issue. Other features can come later.

I just hope this bug fixing update doesn't create any other issues.

Edit - Just had a live chat with honor support agent.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] aKp1:
[MENTION=5978721]K.khiladi[/MENTION] what is the email address you sent the query too? I also reported to honor support guy regarding the network switching where it can't be locked to single mode as in 4g only or 3g only and also regarding the default mobile data switch where if you change default mobile data to sim 2, then it will switch 4g to sim 2 and then your first sim if 4g only is hanging with no network.

Not able to flash the recovery using the fastboot command

Hey bro!! thanks for your detailed guide for the installation. I have an Honor 8 pro and running a partially bricked version of Oreo (indian version). By partially I mean some of the functions are not working properly. I guess I have a complete disaster out of the device.

I am unable to flash the recovery as I have TWRP for Oreo installed on my device. It is not even flashing the stock recoveries. I am unable to unbrick the device using the Multitool.

Any thoughts on how I could go back to official Nougat with locked bootloader and receiving regular updates?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :crying:

How did u flashed twrp recovery for oreo, after installation of android oreo build or was it installed before u upgraded from nougat

What command u used to flash twrp after upgradation. Use the same command to flash stock recovery back.

Use the oreo stock recovery files by extracting from update.app package inside oreo build update.zip

There will be two files namely recovery_ ramdis.img and erecovery_ramdis.img.

Flash them both in different partition.

Recovery_ramdis in recovery and other one in erecovery.

Try this and tell me if there is any error while flashing.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] adi209:
I flashed the TWRP recovery after updating to Oreo build

I used the command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk xxxxxxx.img

I will try this method that you suggested and let you know the results

Just one question though. Would I be able to revert back to Nougat using the dload folder from SDcard after I update the recovery?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arhs2009:
If those recoveries are flashed successfully, u will have to wait for some days for rollback package to nougat.

After rollback to nougat u can follow this method to completely reset and relock ur bootloader with stock rom.

Frankly didn't knew about view 10 at the time of purchase h8p

Upgraded from op3 as op3 screen started flickring randomly after usage of 1.5 year, daily sot of 6 hours and 3 to 4 hours of voice call in 24 hours cycle.

But even if view 10 was available, would have gone for h8p bevause of low price and exchange offer from flipkart..

Also tried the dload method by extracting update.app which is stopped at 5% i think is not able to find the update in sd card.

I am not unlocking the bootloader cuz i have read that if i do the further ota may cause in bricking my h8p

Is there a way to directly install the update?

And if not is there a way to install stock recovery just after updating?

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

2019 is another year from now. i doubt it.

reasons being this phone (at least the chinese variant) has been around since early 2017. by end of 2018, almost 2 years. most phone manufacturers keep it to just 18 months or there about.

maybe we might get a final update early 2019. but... that's a long shot. i only hope honor implements that feature where Google can update the phone without going thru the other layers -- forgot what this bit of Android is called. this way, maybe we can still get some updates after honor's abandoned this phone... :)

update: it's Project Treble

If u really want to know if final version is out, open firmware finder app, find the latest update for ypur device, open it, select check firmware access. It will show firmware available for download.If it is just beta it will show, firmware unapproved.

I wanted to post this so I am writing and is applicable for all of us.

Why do we need to comment or write or join a thread which is for a device that we don't own. Why to make such a clutter in any group.

This is the same reason that two of my good friends here almost bricked their device, jst by following a guide from a noob guy, definitely someone who didn't had the device himself to try flashing oreo.

I posted a guide to flash oreo too, but I tried it on my device first and then i posted the guide.

So please its a request, don't just join or comment in a group because u r a tech guy. Bcz if u really are, i believe u should not do that.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Arhs2009:
People who were in the beta test received B360, bcz when the final release is out, beta testers gets it before evryone else, so that doesn't make b360, a beta version at all.

Well whatever, all I meant to say is that don't just post such updates. Finally, evryone will get oreo and u will recieve official notification too. Jst in last two days beta testers have incresed from 5 to 25.

Wait for the final release to happen and post such update when u have really recieved update without registering anywhere for beta.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] abhimanyu.singh:
Guys small info, on upgrading to Oreo is it formatting the internal storage or not?
