Hey [MENTION=6435663]hackslash[/MENTION]

I've tried RedLotus and couldn't manage it to listen for HiSuite v5.0.2. I had to downgrade to HiSuite v5.0.1 to make it work. Not sure if you are aware of this. Maybe you can mention it at the instructions (until it's fixed). ;)

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snowjack:
I experienced the same issue with HiSuite. I managed the process with HiSuite form Team MT, easily downloaded from their Huawei Multi-Tool v8.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
I can surely say I did experienced it, but I was also able to update just one time using the newer HiSuite version. I'll post the link to v5.0.1 in the guide since that one works flawlessly.

Thanks for the report.

So..

With root you can use this method to update and still have unlocked bootloader and root when it boots up?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Yep, thanks to Magisk Systemless root, you can easily take OTA updates even if rooted.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Setting your DNS setting to point to TeamMT is completely unneeded for HiSuite when you can use your localhost server to trick HiSuite to deliver the update (also don't know how TeamMT operates their DNS, they maybe record them, invading privacy).

And as always, people at 4pda always set an example of reusing other's work without attribution / acknowledgment. Now I can't say if that's the same recovery I patched but anyways, it's not like I give a damn about it.

Is it possible to install an update *approved* for your IMEI, without an unlocked bootloader, using the DNS method in FF?

Since the phone is my main daily driver I cannot afford losing it really.. but I also rely on the security updates, and the phone currently is way unpatched.

By the way, does anyone have an idea why the update might appear as approved for my IMEI, but not appearing in the default update? I'm stuck in B394, along with other people who bought the phone from vmall.eu in the UK.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
I updated to B401 with FF, using the proxy method. Worked for me since it is approved with imei. Proxy Method sends the update package to the system updater, and then you can install it like a regular update. If it is not approved it just says "verification failed" and it will simply not work so its not a risk. For me the rebooting ofter the update took some time so dont worry.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackbuffalo:
But this method work while I do exactly your method more than 2 times and it not work.

1. Tried redlotus - hisuite not detect hosts file, always show no have internet

2. Tried recovery, do exactly old and new guide from you. Always reboot to twrp, not erecovery or if reboot to erecovery always failed.

3. Recovery I think the same with you cause they linked your thread in recovery post

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quaicheist:
First off, I'm a Linux user so method one is no good for me. Anyway, I've an Irish/UK FRD-L09 which is currently on B394. I tried method two over adb shell but no joy. Preparation of device (no cli errors). Installation failed, 'From TWRP, reboot your device to recovery' kicks you back to TWRP instead of the new customized huawei updater/recovery. When you enter update the manual way all you get update by WiFi as usual.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackbuffalo:
I can't find recovery_a vs recovery2_a when listed partition.

So with method 2, I try flash recovery by method 1 and did all step at method 2 but no luck. So I flash use TeamMT method, success

I got Update by booting with 3 buttons but it failed to update. Maybe it was because I was updating from B394 to B402.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] omartins:
Hello,

Flashing, or trying to, a non approved firmware.

My question about downgrading HiSuite is related with the restore of apps, since they were made using 5.0.2 version. Of course, I can always repeat the backup with 5.0.1...

Thank you

Should I unlock my bootloader first before fiddling anything [MENTION=6435663]hackslash[/MENTION]?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Obviously since in order to flash non-stock recovery via fastboot, you have to unlock bootloader.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhayzt:
And relocking bootloader is as easy as flashing stock rom again right? :D Forgive me for this is my first honor phone.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
No. To relock bootloader you have two options:

1. Downgrade to Marshmallow

2. Use fastboot to relock.

Both methods will wipe your data partition.

So I have started threads on this before, I have FRD-L14, I can get into bootloader, the phone is unlocked, FRP is locked.

How to get to stock?

I have tried installing TWRP, won't let me install, error of "failed (remote: command not allowed")"

Note, in fastboot, it shows Phone Unlocked, FRP locked. Prior to all of this starting, I was not signed into any accounts/google/etc. I was actually perpetually stuck in Test-Keys OS, which is why I kept having to revert and try new builds to get back to orginal.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
For the RedLotus method, you need to install and use HiSuite v5.0.1.300 (not 5.0.2 or +), download link: https://www.mediafire.com/?rrd2efg73erp6yt

method 2 is not very safe to use, I don't know for your problem.

i updated emui8 but something was wrong.now i can not back to emui5.because it can not flash twrp.what can i do？
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Don't worry. Just follow the steps below:

Grab Honor View 10 TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/berkeley/ and flash it using the command below:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img

Replace twrp.img with the name of the recovery.

You now need EMUI 5 firmware. Go to firmware finder and download the firmware which is FullOTA-MF-PV (must have PV in the end). Copy the firmware to your SD-card.

Now reboot your device to TWRP. It might take some time to boot to TWRP so do wait.

Once rebooted, install the update.zip file.

Reboot to system from TWRP. Your device will automatically perform a second stage install and a complete data reset.

Hooray, you're back to EMUI 5.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Frau Son:
So, all trying and praying didn't work.

Both methods result in an everlasting "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. [...] Your device is booting now...". I guess it's the recovery that isn't working for me? Do I need a certain firmware for it to work?

Actually, I have to install TWRP and reboot several times in order to finally be able to enter it - and then reboot to system, otherwise I won't be able to enter the system anymore.

I'm just a little bit stressed out right now. A LITTLE BIT.

FRD-L09 rebranded to L19C10.

I wanted to flash the Oreo update. For others it obviously worked, just my phone is being a little miss...

Now I just tried to go back to stock recovery and update my way up, but updating from onehundred-something up to B360 (directly in the Update Manager) didn't work, now I'm stuck with some test build and can't move further up somehow. Well, well...

EDIT: Trying RedLotus for the last time now, since the modded recovery kinda works now. Pray for me. I just want EMUI 8 and finally die in peace.

EDIT2: It worked, I'm on Android 8.0.0 and EMUI 8 now.

The recovery just DIDN'T WORK with Marshmallow, with Nougat it did though!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SunamiS:
I tried the method 2, it went well until I misunderstood that part about the terminal emulator. I only typed the first line of those three, which it only load the update.zip.

After it installed, rebooted, it says the system partition is corrupted. It started a factory reset, and then boots in to the system.

It shows it is in Emui 8.0, but the build number is still B395. It is missing many functions and apps, such as google apps and a browser.

Is there any way I can reinstall or update it to the B501?

I tried to flash the twrp. But when it reboot to recovery, it went in a error mode.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SunamiS:
I tried but I am not able to get in the twrp, I am not sure which part went wrong. Does the old version twrp don’t work on EMUI8? I am stucking here since I can’t get the device to root.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Oh sorry, I didn't realised you're on EMUI 8. TWRP won't work on EMUI 8. There's a special build for Oreo.

There are no check recoveries for Oreo too. I'll update the post later today to add those recoveries and the necessary instruction to flash Oreo builds easily.

As a temporary fix, what you can do is go to 4pda to search the Oreo recovery or search twrp.me for latest recovery for berkely (Honor View 10). From firmware finder download a FullOTA-MF-PV Nougat build (doesn't matter which version). Only update.zip should do. Copy it to external SD card and install it through TWRP. This will downgrade your system back to Nougat and you can essentially restart the process.

PS : if you can't find PV firmware for your region go ahead and download the FRD_L09C432B394 one. Irrespective of your region, the build will flash and downgrade you to Nougat which will allow you to install TWRP and flash Oreo again.

Firstly, I have already mentioned that you cannot currently use the patched recoveries on Oreo. They're for Nougat only (they are available for Oreo too in 4pda forums but I haven't checked them yet).
