Yes I think too. And, perhaps, more informations from Honor?! :angel:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Presently no info from honor they will release with pv when it is about to update via OTA
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
i think it will ota soon, we can always download the 3 files and flash via twrp.... but i think i will w8 for the ota
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Maybe it got pulled because it had a bug, none of the users got b394 OTA so far.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BnK1986:
So there's a way to flash B394 now or not?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Probably got removed from servers.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Yes better to wait , it wont take long , the previous version have no bugs.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DjDeni:
First, can anyone with this update check if the VR and AR aps are working normally or the shaking is still present? Im on B389.

Secondly,

Can anyone tell me why we dont get these updates via regular update in settings?

Thank you
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I can't answer the first question.

As for why these updates sometimes don't come via normal OTA because they're not approved yet for a release over OTA
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mandelbort:
Any way to update with TWRP installed?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
No one yet :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DjDeni:
Thank You,

Regarding the first one:

If you have the update installed maybe you can just go to youtube and search "360 video" click on the first one and then just click the vr googles on the bottom right corner of the video!

I want to see if Honor is working on fixing this or am I stuck on Marshmellow forever :(

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nico97470:
Yes, via Ota. Not for me because I live in Indian Ocean. Soon I hope via FF or another method
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DjDeni:
Yup..all sensors are fine, and the VR is working when I roll back

to emui 4.1/MM. But after the nougat update Emui5 it has been hell.. 360 vids work well,but when you turn VR on its spining like crazy! Also when using AR for example in PokemonGo the 3D object jumps around like crazy!

Not all phones have this bug, but I guess its some sort of a software bug, since it works normally on MM/4.1.

Check it out:

So, B394 comes with August patches, therefore the phone is still vulnerable to Blueborne attacks..! Brilliant Honor, brilliant..! /s

How long do we have to wait to get this fixed now?

so uhmm... I'm a bit lost...

italian L09 owner here, received update notification for B394..

my phone has unlocked bootloader, openkirin twrp 3.1.1-1 installed, root enabled by installing magisk 14

the update process fails, here's what happens:

1) the system updater finishes the download and I let it reboot the phone

2) twrp boot up and start running the update scripts

3) the update.zip installation fails at the 'block_image_verify' step

does it mean that i will not be able to apply this update unless i'll relock/unroot/restore erecovery?

in the HwOUC folders has the downloaded files under the 93521 subdirectory, they are:

- update.zip

- update_data_public.zip

- update_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip

is there a way to flash them manually? which order?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:

Restore stock recovery ASAP. The update will NOT flash using TWRP.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackbuffalo:
Ease to uninstall it. Settings -> App then show system ap. Find it and uninstall

I think it come cause Huawei bring Live photo function to camera from latest update

Also, you can uninstall any system apps without root and no lost OTA update(OTA still update normal) by use adb

No update too with SP01

downgrade MM -> ota N -> ota 389 and 394
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Actually it was really simple:

1 - Have the phone unrooted, no need to re-lock but to have stock Boot, Recovery;

2 - Using a SD card (I also removed SIM card but not mandatory) , put transitional package in dload folder and update using eRecovery;

3 - Downgrade to B131, then update the way up again (some 4 stock ROM's). I only setup all accounts in the very last ROM;

4 - If at some point no update shows before B394, then factory reset and check for updates again. This did the trick for me.

5 - After B394, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and Magisk.

6 - Setup accounts, Magisk hide and restore previous backup (call logs, messages, folders, Whatsapp folder, apps and data) from backup native tool. I always include system settings like alarms, screens layout, etc. saves me the hassle of setting all up again.

Great for you! It's still a shame that Huawei won't ditch the terribe Emotion UI and opt for a more vanilla experience to give their users more frequent updates.

Playing with customers' safety just because of their own, unique look is in my opinion unacceptable. And AFAIK, security updates shouldn't interfere with things such as UI. Still I'm on May's security patch..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Before making any comments did u just stop to see how many other devices have recieved the September patch. Apart from Nexus phones and maybe one or two more phones NO phone has the patches and that includes high end ones like the S8. Also the phone is now a year old and back when it was new it was priced as a mid ranger. At that time the phones that were it rivals were the Moto Z Play, OnePlus 3 and the Axon 7. Apart from the OnePlus none of these phones even have the August security patches. No mid ranger phone gets updated quickly anyway. Also EMUI isn't that bad. It might be aesthetically challenged but it makes up for that by the amount of intuitive and useful features it brings. Also I'd like to mention their smart allocation crap actually appears to be working since performance of my device is still the same since I unboxed it.

Please be happy with what u've gotten and please wait a bit more for the update. Huawei isn't the only manufacturer who rolls out updates in waves, unfortunately u must belong to one of the last waves. Maufacturers do this to relieve stress from their servers and to catch bugs before it rolls out to everyone.

Hope u understand what I meant to convey. Cheers! :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabh2o:
I've pretty much the same situation but: stock recovery is untouched and twrp is flashed on erecovery. That mean the phone reboot to "correct" recovery after downloading the update. Btw it fails saying "System update failed- redownload package". I've read this guide linked by [MENTION=4630140]ScardracS[/MENTION], and i'm now wondering if i can just flash the modified (NoCheck, authentication removed) stock recovery over the actual one, leaving the twrp(ex erecovery) installed, because i get the ota update so there is no need for proxy bypass and redlotus. Thanks you!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:
I suggest you to ask directly to [MENTION=6435663]hackslash[/MENTION] as he's the writer of the RedLotus' guide
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
You need to flash both recoveries for authentication checks to bypass. If you're recieving the OTA update and your device does reboots to recovery to install it, there is no need to follow RedLotus method.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] komakino76:
You can try to download latest full package. That did the trick for me.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabh2o:
Flashed the modded recoveries, downloaded the 500 mb ota update, proceeded to install it. Got this error at about 13%: "Software install failed - Failed to apply the differential update file. Please download the package in erecovery mode". Going to erecovery i can download the full update, but it wipes userdata. So i went in hisuite and downloaded the full-ota, automatically installed it sucesfully.

Thanks all!

Update: tried flashing back twrp, found the bootloader is locked. :( Unlocking it via

fastboot oem unlock key

will wipe user-data, right? Does the stock huawei app (and hisuite) make a full data backup?

Update 2: Yes, it wipes data. I've previously done a backup with hisuite and restored, but you can make a data backup via twrp, update, unlock, reinstall recovery and restore.

The best way to get it with FirmwareFinder on Play Store. I did it with proxy option and check the update and boom, the update was available. Remember to download full package instead of just OTA update (around 2.2 GB). Also from my experience my bootloader relocked after installation. So just unlock it again (with Multitool). Don't forget to flash TWRP and SuperSU.
