[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] 23anand23:
Finally managed to install the official 8.0.0 for Honor 8 pro. For those who cant wait for the official OTA push, here are the steps.

Make sure USB Debugging is ON always.

1. Download these files FullOTA-MF

a. http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1190/g79/v109696/f1/full/update.zip

b. http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...96/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

c. http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...DUK-L09I_hw_in/update_full_DUK-L09I_hw_in.zip

2. Follow standard bootloader unlock procedures and Install TWRP 3.1.1 Openkirin Edition ( Remember: Phone will be wiped once)

3. Boot to TWRP and wipe > Format Data(at bottom) and type YES.

4. Connect device to PC and make a folder HWOTA in the internal memory root. And add the above downloaded files into this HWOTA folder.

5. Download

DUK-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img - https://mega.nz/#!TkwjmSRB!O5-2dMXJGHzAnBFOzVLuURKwykzranv4Til_5GqE418

DUK-RECOVERY2-NoCheck.img - https://mega.nz/#!qkQhERRR!i3akZFgk1Cx9kjPDee58gw4w8LkWe2BXRoz4n9eL8ZE

and place them in the root internal storage.

6. In twrp>Advanced> Terminal > Execute the following commands

a. "mkdir /data/update" (without the quotes)

b. "mv /sdcard/HWOTA /data/update/HWOTA" (without the quotes)

After a while the moving will be completed.

Then execute the following in terminal

dd if=/sdcard/DUK-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_a

dd if=/sdcard/DUK-RECOVERY2-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery2_a

once these two are successfully done, go back, and delete the img files from the root.

come back to terminal and execute the following

echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip >> /cache/recovery/command

echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_data_full_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command

echo --update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_full_DUK-L09I_hw_in.zip >> /cache/recovery/command (NOTE: The character after L09 is "Capital I", the 9th English alphabet, I mistook it for L and small L nd it casued errors.

In terminal type

reboot recovery and the installation should start.

Enjoy official OREO. Will post screenshots and battery life in a while after setting apps etc.

The reason i didnt tell bluntly to follow the AIO guide is because the file names have to be checked properly. There its all EU and global file names and may provide a chance to commit errors.

PM for any further clarifications.

Screen record video can be found above.

Hope this suffices.

One and only bug i have encountered yet: Unable to remove/disable Swiftkey Keboard. Cant change keyboard to GBoard also. :crying:
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] abhimanyu.singh:
Any major changes or good thing you noticed compare to nougat?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] P.K.Shivaram:
Really superb...
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] 23anand23:
UI seems smoother overall. Battery consumption i cannot comment on yet, as now the usage is high, continuous data use for app loading etc. Will give a batter review after 3-5 days of normal usage.

Strange thing is the keyboard . Cant seem to disable Swiftkey ( I prefer GBoard). Unable to change default keyboard.

After 3.5+ GB Ram is free after clearing recent apps.

Yet to get deep into the New OS. Will post in depth review in few days
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Hide IMEI buddy. Thanks for screenis and installation method
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kksnis:
Strange..i am not able to disable the Swiftkey but I am able set Gboard as default.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] devanshu99:
Just force stop and uninstall the SwiftKey board app from apps list in setting ..
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kksnis:
Yes I know, but in Oreo uninstall option is grey out for SwiftKey.

1) Picture in Picture Mode

2)APP launch manager to manage application manually

3) Custom screen resolution 720p,1080p

4)Substratum support without rooting (not working properly)

5)UI is smooth overall

6) Battery is almost same for me as noughat, may be a little bit better

7) Navigation bar can be manually hidden

8) Treble support

9) Bluetooth audio codec settings

10) long press pop up menu on default launcher
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:
the TREBLE support is confirmed?? really..? this is interesting...
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kksnis:
Yes. We already have a working ROM .

Is substratum theme engine theming properly in third party apps ?or only buggy in system apps ?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kksnis:
Atleast WhatsApp was themed properly, did not check other third-party apps. System apps and System UI overlays were not working(except navigation bar and notifications).
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] P.K.Shivaram:
What is Treble support means here, please explain?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] devanshu99:
I knew system apps will not work untill they will close to stock android ,I was just asking for third party apps . I m happy to hear that third party apps are theming in this update without rooting ..?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shailendra1993:
We can receive further updates over this build or we will have to go back to the stock?

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Same here, I thought that devs will take interest and someone told me Honor itself supports custom ROM development, but it was all gimmick. They don't even provide timely updates.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shailendra1993:
I was able to set Gboard as default by going into keyboard and input section in settings and then going into virtual keyboard and then Gboard setting panel and amazingly I was able to set Gboard as default.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] abhimanyu.singh:
Nice... Sad that there is no way for locked bootloaders to update. And I don't want to void warranty. So can't try.:(
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] beltxo:
What about the camera? Any quality improvement? Any new feature? De we finally receive the 3D scan feature of the V9?

Coul you post some screenshots of the camera options and modes?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kksnis:
Sorry, I don't use camera that much, so idea about quality improvement.

It has the 3D panaroma mode(3D Scan??)..There is one moving picture mode and RAW format support in pro mode, not sure whether it was there or not earlier.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] beltxo:
Thanks man!

"3D creator" is the useless 3D avatar (Mii - style) functionality. So the "3D panorama" might be the 3D scan feature that was announced at first and it's available in the chinese version of H8Pro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ54gZQWU0M

And in Honor 9 looks like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdvFuU9ocv0

And looks like "Artist mode" is also a new mode, cool!

RAW option wasnt there in B185 for DUK-LO9 at least
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] devanshu99:
Is it portrait mode in Front camera too ?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] kksnis:
yes, portrait mode and bokeh mode is available for front camera also.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] purna199:

any way to root with oreo ?

Joined honor Consumer meet in delhi which held in the month of December 2018. they informed that oreo update will be released by december end, or jan 1st week. Still there is nothing official

4. not able to flash Oreo update again through HWOTA folder method.

[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] pepuandroll:
I unbricked my H8Pro last week. I did succesfully from L09C675 Indian Oreo Beta to C432 european Nougat. Follow this steps:

- Download the rollback firmware (tagged as FullOTA-MF-PV on firmware site). For L09 european version is C432B185.

- Put both files (update.zip and the other in HWOTA8 folder).

- Flash via fastboot the Mate 9 Oreo No Check recovery (pm if you don't find).

- Start the phone pressing Vol+, Vol- and Power.

- The phone will install Nougat.

Afer this, maybe you have lost your cust, in order to recover it follow the rebranding tutorial in AIO Guide.

No news on when the EU versions are getting Oreo?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kuba565:
As far as I know, there are no certain dates regarding any h8Pro version.

Do you mean L09-C432 by the European version?

I have got it and I check the availability of versions on a daily basis (on a Huawei Firmware Finder) and there is not even a sign of an Oreo beta going on... (My honor is running on b188, with b189 from the 8th of January unavailable.)

My guess is, we'll have to wait for it till the end of Q1 2018, but that's just a guess.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Indian honor 8 pro's have yet to receive the oreo update.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Only beta users got it, right?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Yup and even then not all of them.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapcall:
They are testing and final testing is going on, we may get oreo once all bugs are resolved.

Imo someone need to make huawei understand that android and bug are two sides of coin, don't try to remove all bug. Just throw update.

Even google never try to send update bug free to pixel and nexus line.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Huawei still is better in pushing out updates in timely manner for their devices and that's why i bought honor, thinking that it being a part of Huawei will behave the same. I was wrong.

They are painfully slow about updates and there's no timeline. Going ahead, I won't recommend honor devices to anyone. Period.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] P.K.Shivaram:
Me too, never ever expected this from Honor:(
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] devanshu99:
In my opinion I think Honor are trying to port AI in Honor 8 pro too with emui 8 . Which AI (artificial intelligency ) available for honor v10 .
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] sagarchow:
I think AI will be in hardware not software
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] devanshu99:
It's a processor based AI and can be port in Kirin 960 too.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] devanshu99:
Here it is confirmation. Can see this news also on XDA

https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-oreo-emui-8-pro-9i-7x/
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:
i doubt there are other manufacturers who also give timeline on OS updates. iinm, others will also only say which model will get, without indicating when. to me, latest OS or not, as long as phone is working and decently patched (in terms of security), then it's good enough.

this AI thingy... i dun really buy it. personal view, i guess...

just like how our phone is supposed to have AI that will keep the phone speedy even after 1.5 years or so... when other Android phones start to lag. the thing is...

1. how many actually use the phone this long to prove?

2. how does it work? since we may be wiping lots of data when we do an OS upgrade. so, does the 1.5 years get reset?

maybe the one for newer phones is a diff type of AI. but personally, i m ok if my phone stays not-so-smart. sometimes, it's more important to have smart user instead. ;)
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
I am not asking for the latest build of android but I am asking for security patches and some features enhancements or additions to the current software.

They should take their time to give us Android 8.0 but that doesn't mean that they won't update the security patch or enhance or add some features to their current build version.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHuman:
Indeed, rather timely security updates and less haste with version upgrades then fast version updates and buggy/less feature rich UI.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:
i guess definition of timely is really subjective.

considering the amount of work the manufacturer have to go thru, honor 8 Pro's latest security patch is dated early Nov 2017. i'd think two months is still decent.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Not for Indian units which are still on September 2017 patch.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sandhusaab:
Just why? Why have they adopted such an approach in the Indian market where huawei desires to become number one brand
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
Don't know. Maybe they think that We Indians don't care about software updates.

If they keep this attitude of not providing a single update in 4 months for a flagship phone, God knows what would be the situation of their low end handsets.

But because of this way of treatment, they are generating bad worth of mouth for themselves. I, for sure, am one dissatisfied customer of theirs.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kuba565:
Weird... I own a European version and I have security updates from December 1st. And soon I'll receive the one from Jan 8th. (DUKL09C432)
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mydragoon:
one thing i like about honor and India market is that honor actually meets up with users from India. can't say that for my country that is geographically smaller than India.

i can only suggest: bring this up to honor in the next meet.

having said that... once we're on Oreo, i believe it's not going to be an issue anymore since honor/ Huawei's Oreo supports Project Treble. so we should be getting security patches faster (in theory).

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

i envy you... then again... that seems to always be the case. best things happen in EU (and America). Asia is somehow always the last... Except for maybe China (and sometimes India).

[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sandhusaab:
Very disappointing from honor/huawei regarding updates. Even gionee is better than honor. My low end phone gionee p5w was on November security patch and today it I received a new security patch. I was literally shocked! And honor flagship phone is still on September security patch. Such a shame!
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] P.K.Shivaram:
Really they will lose their market in future, because of this lazy attitude about update. then they will come to know.:angel:

Even 10 or E mobiles are on December security patch. Soon they may receive Oreo on Feb
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Because beta was started so no update was pushed for others.. Once the public oreo is out, it will have Jan or Feb security patches.

Is there a way to apply the oreo firmware update which is available?

I am using honor 8 pro DUK-09C675. As I can see there is oreo firmare available for my device in firmware finder app. But is not approved by huwaei to be installed as mentioned in app, also I am unable to download.

But the same rom update.zip can be downloaded from pro-teammt .ru/ firmware-database website with release number DUK-L09C675CUSTC675D2B305 (8.0.0.305) dated 2017.12.27. I am not sure whether it is beta release or actual release.

Is there a way to apply this update?

Can it be force updated through SDcard upgrade method? If yes, will it be safe to update?
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] K.khiladi:
It's a beta update and after that, there was one more bug fix update for testers that isn't available.

As to updating through firmware finder, No idea. Never tried it.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHuman:
Can anyone here say if there is anything missing from the 7.0 UI on Oreo? I'm talking about i.e transition settings for honescreen or such?

Asking because Sony kinda screwed it up after 5.0, when each update removed stuff they had implemented and actually worked. Honor has some nice own add ons I'd like to keep using.

Once the stable update is out for public release you will get OTA independent of your location. If someone said you need to be India, they know nothing.

It's a strange answer but if you remove the SIM (and use a VPN) there is no way the phone will know that it's in Australia!
