One guy updated his phone to Oreo using HuR tool and I asked his to check if there is treble support and sent me this picture
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:
Already know that.

Seamless update (or A/B partitions update) isn't used a lot, expect for devices like new pixel, new Motorola phone and some other

Oreo on FRD-L04 (US variants)

Came across this yesterday...if anyone wants to give it a try.

Oops my bad. It might be on the forums somewhere but i don't think i've come across the HiSuite method.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
LOL he just went ahead and ripped my method without any link back to the original post at least. Well, what's done is done.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aceMe007:
Yikes. I figured it would have been from xda. Thanks Sir.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TomTheGeek3:
sorry buddy, just forgot to credit you :). i'm pretty sure you were anxious and excited to see oreo finally running on our phones.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boran1:
Hi. I have a internet connection errorr. Pls more information abt step 8 . Screen shoot?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TomTheGeek3:
you probably forgot to patch your hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. or also you might of forgot to run the command to listen into hisuite.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boran1:
I patched hosts file but maybe with a wrong way..that's why I asked for a screenshot of hosts file within correct commands/lines. Grt.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Hey guys, some of you have an idea of when the update will be released through Hisuite? I was tinking about the fact that a lot of people just a couple of days ago received B407 and Honor usually doesn't update twice a month. Maybe it will be avaible on September?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiruke:
Actually I received B407 on July 30th so we could still receive the update in August. But I'm not sure since other people received B407 in August.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iosonooff:
In Italy the firmware is approved to be installed (FF), but the ota is not available yet on the official app.

This afternoon I try with HiSuite
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Got the update via HiSuite here in Germany
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
Anyway to get this 8.0 update in the UK?

I can see FRD-L09 8.0.0.521(C432) is approved for installation within firmware finder, and I can get it to show up within the system update screen in settings.

However, when I click on download and install it just throws up a box saying Notice: Download failed. Same with B407?

I got B406 just fine a few weeks back via firmware finder, just 8.0 or B407 just doesn't want to work as above.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiruke:
You have to use HiSuite to update. Any other method won't work.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
I thought it would work the same as the B406 update I did?

With that, I did the VPN option in firmware finder, checked for updates in settings and it found, downloaded then installed B406 just fine.

In HiSuiteI just get a mess that I'm using the latest official version and says Current version: FRD-L09C432B406(Official)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiruke:
Nope, Firmware Finder doesn't work since B407 I think, they've changed something server-side. Try updating HiSuite, the old version can't find Oreo.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
Didn't know that, but thanks.

I'm on the latest (I think?) HiSuite, version 8.0.1.300_OVE which I downloaded just today to try and update to Oreo.

I guess it'd work via TWRP and manually download the files, but I don't want to go that route since the 8 is my daily driver so would rather not mess with it too much.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
Still gotta wait another 2-4 weeks until L04 users get it... Smh
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiruke:
Yeah, that's what I did with mine. I waited for the official rollout because I didn't want to unlock the bootloader (Even though now I regret it because of Project Treble, wish I got my unlock code before they closed the service).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krikoo:
Can someone help me? I try to install the update via HiSuite (ver.:8.0.1.300_OVE) but it fails everytime with a message that says no internet connection after 16%.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Means it got disconnected from the server
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krikoo:
And what's the solution?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] firemouz:
How can i change the round icons to square icons? After update to oreo my "desktop icons" are round and i dont like it.

In Oreo should be an option to change this, but in emui 8 i can not find this option (change icon shape).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
U have to get 407 first, when i checked my phone for update in Updater on the phone it did not find 407, but when i press the 3 dots in upper right corner and press Get latest full package it found 407 and updated, then connected to HiSuite and it found Oreo.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work for me? Just say no updates and stays on FRD-L09C432B406.

Even with Firmware Finder, it shows 407 but I get a download failed.

Could it be a UK thing?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Ok, maby the problem is that u have 406, dont think 406 was officielly realesed?

In Sweden all got 405 and then 407, nobody got 406.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
I'm going to rollback my android to MM and then update from that, see if it helps.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
My short-term experience with Oreo:

1.: They reorganized EVERYTHING in Settings. I need to get used to it again.

2.: They added the option to hide your navigation bar and also added the option to use a white dot as your gesture based navigation button called navigation dock. It is very useful in full screen apps, but I prefer the good old navbar.

3.: Pixel Launcher looks slicker than in Nougat. It contains some of the elements of Material Design 2.0 and I love it!

4.: The fingerprint scanner is faster than ever before! It approx. took 0.5 seconds in Nougat to unlock my phone with it, but now in Oreo, it only takes approximately 0.1 seconds, which is superb!

5.: The battery life is [ needs more experience and research, wait until the next day or two ]...

And that's it! But what is YOUR experience about the Android that is named after the Americans favourite filled biscuit?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zakk87:
In my opinion fingeprint unlock screen is slower than on nougat. It take 1s of black screen between vibration and screen on.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
May be because of the animation. It slowly fades the screen in. In Nougat, there wasn't any animation, the UI just popped out of the blackness of nothing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Or be smart and flash it yourself.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Servers may be overloaded, could just be a random hiccup on your or their end. Solution is to try again. Sorry, that's all you can do for that. If your bootloader is unlocked, please use hurupdater instead.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
I think the smarter way would be to just wait and get it officially but I'm not saying you're wrong. Can't risk anything happening.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Oreo is nothing special on the h8, i promise. Not to mention I'm almost positive your warranty is already over anyway. Plus, there are plenty of ways to mess your phone up using the "official" way. All it takes is a bad download and you're bricked. Take it from a guy that's been developing since cm7
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
You're right about the warranty being over. However since I am using this phone as my daily driver I fear that the cellular band frequencies will change if I do decide to flash and therefore, render my phone useless. You do have a point about bricking your phone since really nothing is 100% accurate or safe, there's always something that can happen.

I don't get any notifications on my lock screen after update.

I just cannot expand longer notifications on the lockscreen. Am I the only one who has this bug?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stooby:
Did you try rolling back yet? If so, did you manage to update to Oreo?

I'm also on B406 and I've got the same problem as you (also in UK).

I have the same bug, too. I hope it's easy to resolve.

I got my version to b300 but can't get MM to install using a guide I found online, can't even get it to update past b300 any more. Will have to try again later when I have time.

I decided to download the update packages manually from FF website and installed the update succesfully via HiSuite. I have to get familiar with the new settings etc. Anyone knows where can I find the option that manages background apps? There used to be an option to keep particular apps running and close any others. Thanks!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
How do you manually update via HiSuite?

I have the 8.0 files and HiSuite but not sure how to update it other than the System update option.

Had a quick look online and in the app but can't see what to do.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomar777:
Did anyone notice any changes on the camera quality after the Oreo update?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krikoo:
1. Download FF for windows from here

2. Launch it and navigate to "Common Base". You will see a search bar, type your device number there (in my case I typed FRD-L09C432) and hit enter.

3. In the list you will see the updates available for your model, search for the Oreo update, in my case it was the first one. Click "Filelist". Now you have to download 3 files from the list by cut the links and copy them into your browser. You need to download a file called "full", "public" and " "FRD-L09hw_eu" (if your model differs, go for the corresponding one) and save them to HiSuite's folder which is in my case C:\Users\mypc\Documents\HiSuite\ROM\FRD-L09 8.0.0.521(C432) and do not unzip the files.

4. Now open up HiSuite, connect your phone in file transfer mode to make it recognisable to HiSuite and click update. If you followed every step the updater will skip the download and start to install the update to your phone.

5. Enjoy Oreo

Hope I helped ;)

As long as you're not on the Chinese h8, the frequencies aren't affected. That's a great feature of treble.The entire vender partition from Huawei isn't touched. Only the Android is framework is. My phone is also my daily driver, a lot of it dealing with work and if anything, my signal is oddly a bit better. I'm in no way trying to convince you to come to the dark side (haha) but I do want to encourage you to check it out and learn about how to do things with treble and maybe one day you may take that leap. The OK telegram group is always open and are very helpful. Personally, I updated my phone, and flashed Omni in a matter of 10min with issue. Anyway, have a great day and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to pm me or join us flashers in the group
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
Thanks, but doesn't want to work?

Still says I'm on the latest version, except I'm currently back to Android 6.0 and updating to B380 7.0
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Just updated to Oreo over HiSuite. First impression is really bad. Some animations are laggy, fingerprint unlock is now much slower than before. Everything is just slower now. If the phone is in the unlock screen and i unlock it with the fingerprint sensor its now much faster than before. Someone said that there is an animation but i cant see any animations.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krikoo:
I also experience laggy stuffs everywhere, especiall when I'm typing but also in menus.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darklighthim:
So I reset to 6.0 then updated as far as I can get from that which is FRD-L09C432B934

This is what I have on my PC trying to update to 8.0 in HiSuite

This is what it says when trying to update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sjasica1@gmail.com:
Doesn't work for me. I download the files, put them to the folder, but hisuite keeps ignoring them and starts downloading new files (until i get connection error). I have the same version of honor as you: L-09; two of the files I supposed to downlad have different names: update_data_full_public, update. Is that correct?

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

I thought I might have to install the incremental updates until I get to the last pre-8.0 update I should have.

Unfortunately, I can't get anything past B394 to work, be it in Firmware finder or HiSuite.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
That sounds good, maybe I will flash at some point but currently I'm busy with work so once I have some time in my hands before University starts I'll be able to learn more about it. Thanks really appreciate it!

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
They are sending it via hisuite. As for L04 users (me included) they MAY send it as a Full OTA but it's doubtful. The easiest way is to download from ff and update using twrp and hurupdater. I used this method and am now on omnirom

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Incorrect. I do not care what the gsi rom claims. OK has roms built specifically for our chips already and have P working as well. All you need is an 8.0 vendor. If you cannot see improvements with Oreo then please just go back to nougat. Not being rude, just don't see the point in you staying on Oreo if you see no benefit. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:
On eRecovery you can flash b407 after setting WiFi and it works (it saved my ass ':))
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsrvts:

Oh... That's a bad news... But why you don't like emui8?

bad directory problem - it was either "C:\Users\mypc\Documents\HiSuite\ROM\Full\FRD-L09 8.0.0.521(C432) or C:\Users\mypc\Documents\HiSuite\ROM\FRD-L09 8.0.0.521(C432)\Full" for me and then it works.

(or just try it few times in HiSuite to make sure, there is some % of the update downloaded, before the connection fails and it creates the directories for you. Then go to that last created subfolder directory, delete the unfinished files and replace them with the three zipped ones. Go back to HiSuite hit update and voila)

? Ah! Why haven't you updated yet? I ran emui 8 for about 2 days and just wanted nothing to do with it. Nothing wing with it, I just wanted options you know? OK does have a working P image, but aren't at the point of release yet. I know some h8 users are on generic images and work decently, but OK are the only ones to my knowledge that have functioning Huawei camera. P is suppose to take advantage of dual cameras but only if the vender uses the correct Hals.

I'm in the same boat. Can someone please clarify the exact path the 407 files should end up in, as the name format between 521 and 407 seems rather different, so I'm wondering if thew problem may be as simple as the downloaded files not being where it expects to find them? From other posts it is something like:

C:\Users\mypc\Documents\HiSuite\ROM\Full\FRD-L09 <some combination of 407 and C432>

but I don't think I've tried the correct combination for those last two yet.
