Sadly, both of these just tell me I'm at the latest version (I'm B406, so I know it's not), which is why I'm thinking of the forced version approach.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smithdrosato:
Go to google play and uninstall HiCare.

It actually only removes the updates as it is system app and can't be uninstalled.

After that start HiCare again and check for updates.

Let me know the results
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stooby:
I had the same results as you. Also considering forcing the update, but I may not be able to spend the time on it for now, so I'd be interested in hearing how you get on if you try it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stooby:
I've just tried this, but it tells me there are no updates available for my device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
U cant go from 406 to Oreo u have to some how upgrade to 407. 406 was never realesed officielly.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stooby:
Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to update to 407. Every way I've tried results in me being told that I'm on the latest version.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
U have ro find a way to go back to B405, or u will be stuck on B406.

I asume u used Firmware Finder to update to B406?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stooby:
Yes, I did.

I've contemplated rolling back to marshmallow, but somebody else did that and got "stuck" on an even older version than me, so I'm not too keen on the idea.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Sorry, only way is Rollback to MM, then back to Nougat and then Oreo.

Or u can test this trick to go to B407. It works on Mate 10 Pro, use the old HiCare and DNS method with FF.

I updated to Oreo and did the mistake of saying Yes to some stupid, floating circular button that's meant to replace the navigation buttons at the bottom. I feel like I've looked at every setting but I can't find the option to remove it. Anyone knows?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cortesca:
You have to unset the navigation dock

That's not true. I have received b406 officially and then b407 before Oreo upgrade

Hi

Is this a way to rollback to Nougat? My H8 on Oreo works really unstable. Support gives me instructions: https://consumer-tkb.huawei.com/ccp...3-27/49eed187-7e2b-40de-9d97-3b52372ff9a7.jlr

...but in 4 point I've got no "Switch do Other Version" , so it's not working for H8 I think.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usuppue:
thanks!! works fine for me. i've done rollback on my l09 succefully
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MariuSzzzz:
What version of HiSuite do you have? I tried with newest 5 and 8, both no option to switch to other version. Support answer me they don't support rollback. I also have L09, so how can you do rollback?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usuppue:
I used last version available on hisuite site. here direct link:

http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91283&version=356266&siteCode=worldwide

It instals last official android 7 firmware B407. Let me know if works. Maybe depends by country.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MariuSzzzz:
I'm on vacation, so I can try it next week. Actualy I'm using network from country I am A1 BG and my phone works fine...

Maybe it's really problem because I'm using Orange in Poland (two persona ask me for it). It's really weird.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] valk791:
Hi guys! I have an Honor 8 with unlocked bootloader and locker FRP with B394 build and TWRP installed. I would like to update to Oreo, what do I need to do?

I thougth to put the stock recovery and then update through OTA or HiSuite but i can't flash the recovery since the FRP is locked. Do I need to rollback to MM just to unlock the FRP?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: can i just use hurupdater?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zakk87:
Orange IPv6 is a problem like I said before
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wagierek:
I cannot install the update. It shows up in HiSuite, but after clicking update, it throws the error about no internet conection. What should I do?

Edit: connection was OK - I was short on free space on my hard drive. It's OK now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MariuSzzzz:
Sorry, I didn't see your answer. Can I disable it?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zakk87:
Yes, go to mobile network setup, edit APN and disable IPv6, try again on Orange network.

Today the Huawei System Update app got an update to version 8.0.11.370 with these issues fixed:

1. Fixes an issue where some updates could not be detected.

2. Remove the switch of 'Auto-check for updates'. Updates will always be detected automatically.

Maybe this helps also people in trouble with updating to Android Oero.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] evilpaul13:
It's the fingerprint sensor notifications pull down working in Oreo? Reddit reported it was broken, but nobody mentioned it here.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] b1tt1:
It's working ok.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stooby:
I had hoped that this would help me update from B394, but it seems that you can't install it unless you're already on Oreo.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Still in testing process
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MariuSzzzz:
It's not working for me. When I change it, I lost internet connection. When change back to IPv6 connection backs.

Did you do that, because I'm thinking its not enough. There is an option "APN" with value "internetipv6".

I got internet configuration from www.orange.pl, it's working with IPv4, but there's only 3G connection :/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yaslaw:
Try to create new APN with ipv4 only, instead of changing current APN settings. .

On my case (nju mobile) it works and solves all issues that I had after Oreo update .

I recently started a petition about this problem. Feel free to sign this petition and teach a lesson for Huawei: https://www.change.org/p/huawei-tec...droid-oreo-based-emui-8-0-for-honor-8-devices :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] louiloomis:
What I don't understand is the people saying that we were obviously never going to get Oreo because we got Nougat, which was our one major update. If that's the case then why has Huawei been testing Oreo on the Honor 8? Also, the two year update policy clearly says they'll be bringing 'new features' for two years, not just security updates, which again implies major software updates.

It seems Honor are paying attention though, as different regions are saying different things now, so I'd suggest signing the petition above, as Honor will not want this blowing up more than it already has.

that's bad.. if xiaomi can update their half a decade old mid range devices to miui 9, then honor 8 definitely can support emui 8 and the only reason for it not getting is "huawei's lazyness/don't care attitude"

On Honor USA's Facebook page they're saying certain features from EMUI 8.0 will be ported over to the Honor 8 instead of Oreo itself...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] e_mc_square:
By comparing EMUI Oreo vs EMUI M, I don't really see much major difference between them.

Don't expect to get the function like able to use your Honor 8 like a computer which is on Mate 10 even if Honor 8 can run Android P.

Features from EMUI 8.0 port over to the Honor 8 should good enough.

Porting features from EMUI 8.0 then updating to Oreo? Yeah, that makes a lot of of sense, as I'm sure Honor have endless resources dedicated to Honor 8 users...

Anyways, I hope you eventually get your updated emojis. You're obviously dependant on them.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sideness:
Guys. I think everyone in this thread is jumping on conclusions. The first posts of this thread are clearly saying that Honor is a bad brand, that people will never buy honor phones again, etc...

But the information we just got on Oreo is FALSE (I think). The CEO himself told us that we'll get Oreo and that a closed beta already started. The man who told us that we won't get Oreo is an Indian Community manager.

Between the CEO and a foreign community manager, who would you trust?

Oreo is coming. Just wait ! ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
I went through that once. With my first smartphone - HTC Desire HD and it's Android 4.0.4 update which did not happen.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sideness:
I understand. But nowadays, Android phones tend to get more updated. Brands understood that updating its devices is a important thing to do.

A few years ago, only a one or two devices got an Android upgrade. Today, each brand upgrades its flagships at least once, often twice, and for a few brave one like OnePlus, Samsung or Xiamo, three times!

It is very possible that our honor 8 gets his 2 upgrade ! :D We just need to be patient ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:

Dear Honor Fan, thank you for reaching out to us.

Honor is excited to welcome the arrival of Android 8.0 / Oreo update as our Honor customers experience is always top priority. We will rigorously test to ensure the compatibility of the latest Android update with Honor 8.

We delightfully request you to wait for the further information.

This is the latest update from Honor India on Oreo. They will just port the features...I guess that's earnest attempt in itself

What do you all think?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] louiloomis:
It's exactly the same as what Honor USA said on their Facebook beta group, so at least it appears they're all on the same page now. Unfortunately I don't think it's good enough, as it's unlikely we'll get Treble without Oreo, which is pretty much what most of us want.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Then atleast give us informations for everything we need if we don't get treble, to be honest, most of us just want to get Oreo because of treble which makes it easier to develop custom roms. I wouldn't mind if honor would give us all the sources so that we can get a perfect rom, I mean, the camera is broken on every rom, even 1080p 60fps youtube doesn't work.

Wtf is wrong with Honor.. They say Honor 8 get Oreo but sometimes say its not compatible...

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
So they are backporting some of the features of EMUI 8.0 to 5.0.x (like what, the launcher?) while keeping the android version to 7.0. I would personally prefer the reverse, keep the same features as EMUI 5.0.1 and bump the internals to Android 8.x. Tremble was not going to happen anyway (only new devices *have* to have it), but we could have benefited by the additional features Google brings to Oreo. Personally, disappointed and probably not going to be a future customer of Huawei/Honor after this.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:
This is what Honor Global says today. We have 3 account who say wait for official news and one who says no update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
I don't care if there is no difference between EMUI 5 and 8, neither do I care about any new features in EMUI 8. The only thing I know is that everyone here who purchased the device have been cheated. The hardware limitation stance is just an excuse. When a company says it will provide 2 years of support, it should provide it. If it can't, then a typical limitation excuse doesn't cut it. As genuine users, it is our right to ask what are those limitations.

They brought extremely few improvements in the updates rolled to the device. They didn't improved battery life, didn't fixed lockscreen music issue. Most feature updates are exclusive to the Chinese regions so that's just a middle finger to their international users.

If there's anything I do care about, it is treble. With all of the devices upgraded from N to O from Huawei getting treble support, I was confident that if H8 also gets the Oreo update with treble, the whole development scene would change. Heck even EMUI camera works on AOSP with treble. I'm disappointed that the Honor 8 users will have to live with an old Android version and the development community even with their valiant efforts couldn't produce a pure awesome experience. (Still kudos to the OpenKirin team, they have been awesome and the Oreo ROM by them is the only chance we have, for revival)

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:
I'm still laughing about "Nokia". What do you think you'll get by that fake named thing? Honor 8 will get security patches, that's the two years support. Two YEARS, not MAJOR UPDATES, Y-E-A-R-S. of support.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ah0y:
What's the update schedule? As of yet I've been stagnant, behind on several firmware releases. This leaves us with an insecure and vulnerable phone.

Where are their changelogs for the updates? Unprofessionalism.

Huawei should be sued for false advertisement and allowing devices to be a security risk.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
What do they mean when they say that the h8 is in testing? Is there already a rom which is Android 8 and works for the H8? They already made a firmware? Even if this doesn't work out like it should, they should just release it alongside all sources, but this time completely in English, I would be happy. Maybe other devs can fix things and make them work.
