Hi! And first of all, thanks a lot for this guide as you just gave hopeless H9 owners a bit of light... ;)

Now I haven't gone through the process yet but I got a bit confused as of part.3 (that is recommended but not needed), should we unroot BEFORE flashing Ramdisk and Recovery Ramdisk? I then have an old UnSu script by Osmosis, would it work or the "Full Unroot" option from the SuperSu app is okay?

Thanks in advance for your reply and Thanks again for this guide!! Cheers

[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is as easy as going from 7.0 to 6.0 as its handled the same way sure oreo handled some new partitions but rollback was easy.. So it's no issue regarding new *partition* as Oreo adds odm partition only

As of rollback I ain't sure if it'll need one or two packages on honor 8 there's two (was 1 at the beginning)

Yeah it's was told to introduce ar features oreo tell how it works

Still waiting for validation...

In the meantime i guess i'll have to go back to stock before updating ota way or maybe i could try the /dload/ way.

It depends if i can just download via emui updaater the ota files while bootlader unlocked, twrp installed, and rooted but still encrypted.

For ota to work, i read unrooting via supersu and just flashing back stock recovery via fastboot was enough?

What about boot and ramdisk partitions? no need to flahback them back via fastboot?
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
About the L09-B321 files provided ?

- are they unmodified?

- are they from L09C900B321 ?

- or are they from AL00C00B321, AL10C00B321 or TL10C00B321 ?

If so, do you get any OTA once on this B321 before root?

Could I switch B321 files provided with C00B336 files available on FF ?

(And adapt with new stock ramdisk and ramdisk_recovery from B336, and vendor all_cn oeminfo)

Will recovery_nocheck will be compatible with this B336?

I'm actually on AL00 rebranded to L09 ; L09C432B180.

[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] kac222:
Ramdisk is here:

Ramdisk

And you must extract Kernel.img from UPDATE.app an then flash this file( fastboot flash kernel KERNEL.img).

If your phone not start up,then you have another solution:

And where is a download link for B360a?

There is no in your Mega drive.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] VanixLH:
I also can't see the B360a file. Though either way, thanks for this, it is appreciated.

And quick question, is updating to B360a via this guide (once the file is available) the same as receiving an OTA update?

Oh also, another question. Sorry, I am curious :P So how does the system determine who gets the OTA or not? Like, I saw a lot of articles saying people in the UK are getting the update. But is this only for devices bought in the UK (so I guess by IMEI?), or is it devices currently registered on a UK network? I am curious because I bought my Honor 9 in Germany but I live in the UK. I know rollouts are usually in waves, but I am just wondering how they determine what device gets them.

For people who followed the OP's rollback and ended up someplace weird like Android 7.0 EMUI 8.0.0 Buildnumber 8.0.0 (C900log),

it's time for HWOTA. Just Flash (no rebrand, just firmware flash.) whatever you want (for me it was C432B120)

and this will clearly truly rollback your phone to stock. than you are free to go.

Hello,

I'm come from a Nexus 5 and it's so diferent make a modificatiomns on this Honor 9...

I'm a complete noob for this phone, I only see en the first post:

PART 1

0. download the B360a zip from my mega folder

1. read README.txt from fw zip and follow the steps carefully (easy install)

2. have fun with official oreo

I only will install OREO for have AOSP Treble. In this moment i have all from stock, no rooted, no TWPRP and nothing unlocked.

Best Regards.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The instructions are rather easy if you have the no check recovery also this includes you'll need to be on unlocked bootloader. I can't tell procedure on locked bootloader since it's not approved

in twrp terminal:

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_STF-L09_hw_eu.zip >> /cache/recovery/command

Reboot recovery

Same commands goes if you're rooted and booted to system

Simple as that however if you're encrypted I'd say do run commands from system :) else you'd might have to decrypt?

However I never succeeded to execute all 3 commands without having issues so I'd advise to flash update.zip last thing you do. But it's up to you.

But if you executed the command and you wasn't able to install you can execute the flash procedure one file by one. This is what I had to do but you might succeded with all 3 in one command

Good luck. If you don't understand read https://xdaforums.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/oeminfo-c432-t3625886

Guide is for honor 8 pro but procedure is the same but file names differ

Again good luck

I tried to install B360 on Saturday,but i lost my capacitive buttons and flashlight from camera.

So I went back to the version B321 and all works fine.

Is it possible to install the B360 version without losing capacitive buttons?
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] TASON42:
did you tried B360a from FF? you know, every firmware over B120 kills capacitive buttons and flashlight,

when you flash it with windows HWOTA.

Or did you updated with official system update app / FF Android APP + localshost Proxy? than I dunno what happened.

Since I'm having 'not yet approved' error with FF APP, losing capacitive keys with windows HWOTA,

Now I'm trying to flash it inside the phone, mocking system as I'm official system update APP,

pushing OTA file I downloaded from PC to /data/update/HWOTA, but I keep getting permission denied error...

since B360-NoCheck is uploaded, I wish this will do something better.

BTW, Will I get OTAs after I flash this?

///UPDATE///

no luck. lost capacitive keys, flashlights, broken buildnumber, no OTAs.

it's worse than HWOTA, since HWOTA has OTA and right buildnumber at least.

maybe I have done something wrong...

going back to B120. I think I have to stuck with B321 + Treble AOSP...

Which captivate buttons you mean thus close to fingerprint sensor?

I guess you'll have to check vendor/usr or system/usr maybe they're disabled.?

If you flashed through hwota could it be that it's a new feature that kills it if modified system/unlocked? That be quite strange but if people has it working with official update method something go wrong. On other hand it's strange since it shouldn't be a bad flash.

[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Midhon58:
I'm not sure what you exactly did, but flashing B360 manually should work exactly like HWOTA because it's just a script that does all the moving files and flashing for you instead of typing in the commands by yourself.

I also flashed B360 on B321 and everything is normal except from the capacitve keys (build number is fine) and as B360 is the most recent version there are no OTAs of courses.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] TASON42:
I'm not sure what exactly I did too :laugh::crying:

I was talking about system update tap is not showing inside the settings, which happens with broken buildnumber.

maybe it happened because I was from B120, dunno.

I've rollbacked to B183 Stock, wish I could get B360a OTA approved soon...

or is there any official C432B321 beta ROM? ROM that can take OTA to 360a?

not the one B321 ROM based on chinese bariant that OP provided?

When flashing the B360a from your archive [MENTION=4960686]OldDroid[/MENTION] , is it possible to go back to stock recovery to be able to recieve stock OTA's in the future?

hope you can help me because I'm suffering :D

I successfully flashed the B360a with the installer zip and tryed rooting via SuperSU.

Unfortunately I wiped in my suffer, the system partition and if I want to Rollback with the STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img and the Rollback zip after my reboot TWRP starts.

The only tools I can use are fastboot are twrp_oreo. Could someone maybe give me other instructions, because in my eyes I've tried everything.

I also tried extraction the rollback.zip and put the UPDATE.APP in my dload folder of my external_sd. Flashed STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img via fastboot on recovery_ramdisk, but when I want to force update, it starts and stuck at 5%.

[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] FlyingMachete:
The old TWRP for Nougat was breaking things (capacitive buttons, etc..) so my guess is that's the culprit here. People should only use it when coming from Nougat and then fastboot flash the stock recovery right away before going into system or the Oreo TWRP that was provided with B321. People already on Oreo should simply not flash the TWRP provided in OP.
