Installed the B396 update today using the firmware finder build-in proxy. I didn't experience any flaws. It adds android security patch level from 3 Nov 2017, which is kind of nice, since I thought the Honor 7 won't be supported anymore.
[Honor 7 General] Dattel01:
Attention: I also updated today but now there is no way to flash TWRP as recovery image..

As conclusion i switched back to B390 as i can change the recovery image there..

Maybe anyone got a quick fix for B396 and TWRP?
[Honor 7 General] rrodriguezm0:
You have to unlock again bootloader. It doesn't matter if you see it as unlocked, you have to do it again
[Honor 7 General] Dattel01:
Thanks for the suggestion... indead, i checked the bootloader state and also found some other posts on unlocking phone again independend of the unlock-text shown in Fastboot - but all these posts handles non-Honor phones. so i didn't try it with the h7..

but as i wrote, i already switched back to B390... Will try it out tomorrow... feedback will follow as soon as possible :D

UPDATE: Seems to work.... Unlockung the Bootloader again solved the problem.... thx mate..
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
[MENTION=7234331]Dattel01[/MENTION] maybe you should flash twrp as a erecovery?
[Honor 7 General] Dattel01:
[MENTION=2916071]zakk87[/MENTION] . no that's not what i wanna do..

but as i already mentioned above, that unlocking bootloader again solves the behaviour for me...
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
Ok, so update can lock bootloader? Is Unlocking Wipe /data?
[Honor 7 General] Dattel01:
Not sure what the update does with the bootloader since fastboot claimed the bootloader as "unlocked" and also the command "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" claimed the device as unlocked.

On my phone data was not touched by unlocking phone again at that state... System stays stable.
[Honor 7 General] Arashdn:
for me latest version is still B390!!!

does any one have update file?

[Honor 7 General] Rbunchie:
Has anyone tried rooting the new firmware yet?
[Honor 7 General] rrodriguezm0:
Yes. Not problem at all
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
[MENTION=7485923]Rbunchie[/MENTION] which recovery and root.zip you use?
[Honor 7 General] Rbunchie:
I use TWRP 3.0 and the zip which worked with the last version B390. It also worked with B396 and magisk also worked flawlessly.
[Honor 7 General] Dattel01:
The official TWRP works fine..

https://twrp.me/huawei/huaweihonor7.html

The latest magisk will also work fine.
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
[MENTION=7234331]Dattel01[/MENTION] TWRP 3.2.0.0 not working to me. I've installed 3.1.1.0. Unfortunlately root not working. Can you share a link to a working magisk.zip?
[Honor 7 General] crazycondor:
SuperSU 2.82SR5 works fine for me
[Honor 7 General] Dattel01:
Magisk: i picked the latest version from https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 Version 14 (MagiskManager 5.4.3) works fine for me

TWRP: I just checked it with my device... Indeed TWRP 3.2.0.0 is not working anymore with H7....

Since it was released on 2017-11-30 it's nearly new - so on the date i flashed b396 the last recent version works (it was 3.1.1.0)....

[MENTION=2916071]zakk87[/MENTION]: Thanks for pointing out..
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
I restored stock boot.img then I flashed magisk14.zip via twrp. Working great. thank you,
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
I just got it through OTA today, installed fine, patch level updated to November 6.

Other than that, nothing special. Still no support for multitasking :(.
[Honor 7 General] ShadixAced:
Magisk 14, working great.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
Magisk 14.1 and TWRP 3.1.1 works as expected!

[Honor 7 General] hassanjavaid8181:
Bootloader unlock??
[Honor 7 General] feizafra:
yes. it is unlocked,even i couldnt relock the boot loader again
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
So what its unlocked before. After flash B396 you must relock it again.
[Honor 7 General] feizafra:
i did .but notjing happened
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
What software do you use? Try minimal adb. Works for me two times on H7 and other phones.
[Honor 7 General] feizafra:
i use SRKToolHuawei-STABLE-

I tied same problem again
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
Try unlock bootloader by minimal adb.
[Honor 7 General] feizafra:
bootloader is unlocked already.So when i tried to relock, it is not happened
[Honor 7 General] nikaizad:
can anyone link me a guide on how to update mine from b380 to b396?
[Honor 7 General] marko0205:
Use the app Firmware Finder for Huawei on the play store (and follow the app guide)
[Honor 7 General] hassanjavaid8181:
Didn't receive via OTA??
[Honor 7 General] benoit.btd:
Everything worked great for me:

- ota update

- rerun fastboot oem unlock (since previous messages says it has do be done again)

- install twrp recovery (3.1.1-0)

- adb pushed supersu (SR5 2.82)

- flash supersu via twrp

Is MagazineUnlock a new feature ? I do not remember having seen it on B390.
[Honor 7 General] zakk87:
Yes, it was present in previously firmware.
[Honor 7 General] benoit.btd:
Ah ok... Strange, after reboot, Google Photo said "new folder MagazineUnlock, do you want to backup on google photo" :).

Maybe it was "non activated" by default and B396 activated it.
[Honor 7 General] adxluser:
Guys, is it official firmware?

or Russian made? ; )
[Honor 7 General] hoodoo_mc:
any other reports of bootloader unlock code no longer working?

Previous poster in this tread was suggesting that his bootloader unlock code was no longer working.

Has there been any other reports of this?

Haven't had to use my bootloader unlock code since first got phone a couple of years ago.

Planning using the flash stock recovery, update OTA method of updating from b380 to B396, but now concerned that if unlock code no longer works, stuck with a stock phone.

Cheers,

MC.
[Honor 7 General] SkilesAwaRz:
Hi,

No worries, this update doesn't lock forever your bootloader. It just kind of "locks" it, even if it shown as unlocked.

You just have to unlock it again using fastboot and your original unlock code. Then you're free to install what you want.

I've updated to b396 and I successfully installed twrp and flashed rom.

Hope this helps.

[Honor 7 General] hoodoo_mc:
Many Thanks for the response.

So the code not working for the other poster sounds like it was either a one-off, or maybe finger trouble.

Cheers.
[Honor 7 General] mariosmax:
Am i the only one who is facing issues after the update? My phone is stock (never installed custom roms), i opened the updater saw one update and done everything successfully. After reboot i still have no touchscreen function. What i already tried :

- Factory reset

- Screen calibrations apps

- Removing Sim and SD

Have you guys any idea what could possible went wrong?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] FuryFlames:
I have an S8 but I also want stock Android so I was wondering if the 3T is worth it and also if it'll have community support for a while
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] NicestRudeGuy:
no , i would recommend you to go for mi a1 if you strictly want the stock android xp when you own an s8

or if you have budget you can go for oneplus 5
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] FuryFlames:
Will the mi a1 have good developer support?

And also, why do you not think the 3T is a good idea? I can get it for only 100 NZD more
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Mizart:
I'd say the 3T is still a pretty solid option right now. But if you can add in a few more bucks, I'd suggest the 5T instead. Phones with18:9 display with dual cameras are hot right now, the 5T has them both and a lot more.

As for your other question, some Xiaomi devices do have a lot of custom support, like the kenzo, it's one of the most popular devices on xda.

But on the other hand, Xiaomi still hasn't released Kernel sources for the A1 so there wont be any custom development until they do.

But if your main focus is on custom development support then go for something with Project Treble. That thing is going to change everything.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] xKroniK13x:
I wouldn't hesitate to get another 3T right now.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] tidschi:
A1 instead of 3T, seriously??

Had it before the 3T and can't recommend!

Very laggy and no development until Xiaomi releases the source.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
Bang for Buck? 3T

Community development for 3 or more years? OnePlus (3T)

Near stock Android with small tidbits of OxygenOS goodies? 3T

But if you have the budget, 5T it is. Strict budget? 3T.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] FuryFlames:
Yeah I don't have the budget for the 5T and in fact it isn't even out in my country yet. The 5 is too much too so I guess the 3T is the best option
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] NicestRudeGuy:
because of the aging hw, nowadays hw ages so fast also with android one support its best ,

3t is a good option only if you are looking for the community support
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] FuryFlames:
Yeah I definitely want the community support. Thanks I guess I'll buy the 3T
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
The 3T section was

the

most active one on XDA for some time. Forum activity has probably surpassed by the OP5 (and soon to be 5T) at this point. But if you can't afford, or don't want the newer iterations; then the 3T is definitely the way to do in terms of community. It will be supported here for a long time to come, for sure.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mtur:
I think it pretty much depends on the price that you have found for the 3T.

below $400 I would still probably buy it
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] FuryFlames:
It's 450 used NZD
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mtur:
which is slightly more than 300 USD (right?), I would still buy it for this price.

I guess the new 5T is 700+ NZD right?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] FuryFlames:
Try 1k lol. The S8 sells for 1.3k the note for 1.6-7 the iPhone X 1.8K

We get ripped off hard. I'm lucky my parents can afford to get me flagship phones.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thanhnvt194:
Still a good buy
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mtur:
Damn! Go get that 3T now hahaha
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] blackknightavalon:
The 3T became my backup phone. I got the 5T a few days ago and I wouldn't hesitate to put my SIM card back in my 3T if the former broke down.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] appjunkie:
Hi, I have two questions about the X Compact:

1. What is your Micro SD card read and write speed? Even when I am using Sandisk Extreme UHS-I U3 V30 A1 128 GB card, speeds are always around 30 MB/s for both read and write. Does the phone limit SD card speeds? The same Sandisk card has much higher speeds when I am using it in other devices.

2. When I touch the power button (but not press it) and slide my finger from bottom to top of the button, the top of the button sinks inside the phone and make weird sound. Is this normal?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] solarkraft:
2 doesn't happen on my model. Happened on my z5c though. Maybe Sony will replace/repair it if it's extreme.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasa98:
Hi all,

I was running a custom ROM for a while (KangVIP) and decided to revert back to stock. I missed it up and I bricked it. so kept trying several methods and finally managed to make it work via dc-unlocker. However initially I wasn't sure which was my original stock rom version. I'm in the middle east so I tried all the different nxt-l29c185xxx versions. nothing worked out, so I tried the second method of dc-unlocker using NXT-AL10 factory firmware and the phone worked. so I debranded the phone using SRKTools, then I flashed different l29c185 stock roms and it seemed that it worked out. However the issue I'm facing now is I'm getting SIM network unlock message when restarting, which shouldn't be the case since the phone originally is unlocked when bought. so I checked through the manufacturer mode and the Bootloader version there shows NXT-C900B120-fastboot

I'm not sure what this means. I tried several ROMs using SRKTools and ItalianKnife and still this didn't change although the build number in the phone changes.

any ideas how to completely revert this back?

appreciate your help
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasa98:
any suggestions..... things I should try?? :(
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afromoh:
Hi.

As you said you are on B200 so your phone is marshmallow and it is good because SRKtool just can rebrand Marshmallow version.

My suggestion is to use SRKtools and rebrand your phone to correct brand (NXT-L29C636 or NXT-L29C185)

If you do it correctly, I bet it will work.

Have a nice time.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasa98:
many thanks for your reply.

I tried SRKtools again following the guide and still it isn't working. I still get the Sim lock message and the factory bootloader version NXT-C900B120_fasboot
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afromoh:
Hi.

Would you please tell me which vesrion is in setting about ??
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasa98:
I've used dc-unlocker to get passed the unlock code. Now I have the phone on L29C185B520; however everything in the phone is working perfectly except the sim; there is totally no signal. I have checked the sim in other phones and it's working fine.

I took the phone to a Huawei repair center and they said its a problem with the mainboard which needed to be changed and it'll cost around $200 USD

I believe it's a problem of modemvm partitions. is there a way to fix it?
[Android Head-Units] Robotson:
I have an Erisin 6046B HU in my BWW e46. I got the 3G dongle from Erisin when I bought the HU which connects via USB, and then used a SIM from iD Network in that.

It all worked perfectly yesterday - I was downloading apps and browsing in the car. But today - no network connection. Weirdly, there's no settings in the unit about mobile network - unless you use the search function and search 'network' - there you can access the network settings but its all greyed out. What I could do, was reset the network settings. But this didn't help.

I checked the SIM online and I still have plenty of data left, and iD say the SIM is active.

I'm wondering if its anything to do with me installing a dialler app (Drupe) and trying to make a call with it? I just wanted to see if that would work, out of interest - but it seemed to do something to the unit when it dialled. Afterwards the DAB app was completely silent, and only started working again today. Could I have broken the unit somehow by trying to dial out from a dialler app?!

I'm thinking the obvious step is to factory reset it.. which is annoying as I've just got it all set up perfectly!

Any other ideas?

Please note that we do not allow tethering on any of our current plans.

That's your problem
[Android Head-Units] Robotson:
Thanks, but I'm not tethering. The SIM is directly in the unit and was working as a normal sim. I'm not tethering at all.

And if it was that, why would it work for a day just fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] Mr-Glass:
Picked up the SM-P580 for my 6 year old this past week.. Curious to see what case everyone likes or is using with theirs -- I picked up a relatively cheap ProCase off of Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gala...id=1511708748&sr=8-7&keywords=sm-p580+procase and it is just ok --- Since this Tablet has been around for quite awhile was hoping to get some thoughts on what you guys liked.. Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] BajaBlast4Life:
Cases are a hit or miss with the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S Pen (P580) and without S Pen (T580). There are a limit amount of accessories for these models.

You probably want a Mignova Heavy Duty Hybrid Protective Case with Build In Kickstand, since you're letting your kid use your tablet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y15M2VP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It will help you reduce the damage if he or she drops it. Don't rely on the included screen protector because its garbage. There are identical ones with different brand name, but they are all the same. All made in China. Some are cheaper while others are more expensive so make sure you pick the cheapest price and it's designed for the one with the S pen.

Also, the model without the S Pen (T580) is a smaller tablet. They aren't the same size as the model with the S Pen (P580).

Infiland Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S Pen Case, Smart PU Leather 360 Degrees Rotating Stand Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S pen P580:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M65L2XX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one is okay, but the 360 degree rotating stand is flimsy. It only stays in place if you just watch a video on your tablet. If you plan to use it while its in vertical or horizontal mode, it often falls down.

ProCase Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 Case

without S Pen

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FVLUDAO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I had this case for the one with a S Pen, the screen flaps are annoying and cover a small portion of the screen in all directions. For a tablet without the S Pen, it's manageable. Good build quality. Thicker case than Infiland leather case. You got to take the tablet out to access your mSD card.

Samsung Book Cover for Tab A 10.1” with S Pen, Black or White

https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...tab-a-10-1--with-s-pen--black-ef-bp580pbeguj/

Right now, it's 50% off for $25 but normally for $50. If you missed the sale, you can get cheaper ones on Ebay as used or open-box.

Out of all the cases I have including the Pro Case for the T580, the Samsung Book Cover is the best one for the Tab A 10.1” with S Pen (P580). The only con aside from drop protection is that you can't use it in vertical mode because the magnets only hold the tablet in two horizontal angles. Easy to take off and put the book cover on. Easy access to your micro-SD card slot. No raised screen case hinge to interfere with my hand when I'm writing on it. The magnets are strong and hold in place with I use it.

I was thinking of getting a keyboard case, but I discovered there's no official Samsung Keyboard case. There are 3rd party Chinese manufacturer keyboard cases, but they are a hit-or-miss too with build quality and user experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] Mr-Glass:
Thanks for all the info Baja --good stuff..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] stonypass:
I just got this one for my SM-T580 and it fits great.

It's not cheap, but it's worth a bit of extra cash.

I did take the screen protector out because I don't like them, but otherwise it's a great case.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Accessories] Mr-Glass:
I like Supcase but I do not believe they make one for the SM-P580 with S Pen.. :(
