L09C432 got 407 update in ff, not gonna see oreo for a while
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BnK1986:
The russian honor 8 received july update on FF and after 1 day it received Oreo update so it can be possible
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
Sorry for off topic

i am stuck on L09C432B394 (another device which i have) any suggestion?

i have tried firmware finder but when it goes to install the update in the recovery it ends up showing error
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] levus95:
That firmaware is still not approved for installation. That's why. After a month, it will be approved
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
Sorry my bad., its B394 on which my device is stuck with 5 Aug 2017 patch

So, the Oreo update for EU/GER is canceled by Honor.

First and last Huawei/Honor phone.

Never again!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiruke:
Are you sure? Italy is going to receive it within end of July, and it should be the European firmware, so Germany should get it too.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnX:
*edit*

First of all, can u mention the source before posting such rumor and secondly there are enough confirmations from Honor Germany/ Honor EU which contradict ur statement

I searched and found an article in the german website areamobile which mentioned that honor denied the oreo update for europe source:

http://www.areamobile.de/news/47916-honor-smartphone-oreo-update-in-china-aber-nicht-in-deutschland
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Oops, I can't quote Alegr

Oops... The comment's other half was deleted because I mentioned Alegr...'s username.

Anyway, what the f*ck are you doing?

Don't trust these unknown sources! They misunderstood the P9 Oreo fiasco, which was a communication problem between the Chinese and European Honor. Instead, you need to link reliable sources, for example XDA News, Android Authority, Android Police, HDBlog and much more. According to HDBlog, Honor is actually starting the rollout of the Oreo update in Europe in waves from 30th July, starting with Italy.

Why I can't mention Alegr... and quote to him? Why is it censored?

Maybe in Italy we are more luckyhttps://www.androidworld.it/2018/07/16/honor-8-android-oreo-italia-31-luglio-567914/

Official statement from Honor Italy. The same news are reported also from HDBlog, Tutto Android, Gizchina and a lot of other sources... but I think that official communicate from Honor Italy is enough to start to wait the OTA in Italy from 31th July.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnX:
probably there will be no release for germany that would be a shame for the company
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
Firmware for Europe is C432, therefore if Italy gets it, so will Germany, France, UK, Greece, Spain, Portugal etc. It will probably appear as "not approved for installation", then it will appear as approved for IMEIs but not for our countries, and then they will make it available everywhere. How do I know that? Because it's exactly the same thing that happens every single month with all the security updates!

Chill people, really!

Oreo 8.0 with EMUI 8 for Honor 8 available in India on FF

The Indian variant FRD-L02C675 received an notification on FF today about update to Oreo 8.0 EMUI 8. Hopefully it will be available soon, may be early next month to all. :o

I ultimately successfully updated my firmware using Huruupdater method to Oreo8.0. It is working flawlessly without any issues. much smoother experience. Those on FRD-L02C675 can update without any issues. Just after update factory reset the device. everything working normally so far.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] $lim $hady:
Yes..might be this month end or 1st week of August..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AN KU SH:
Sent it will be available in the first week of august

Also I recieved a july security update today which on firmware finder was showing on 3/7/18

So yes oreo is coming on frd-l02
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faisaloid:
Yes. The indian version Honor 8 will be recieving Oreo update soon.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sursur:
Good news! Recently rolled back from Oreo FRD-l09C10b510 to B398 with built in Erecovery. Flashed rollback firmware via WIFI like a charm!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Markxdx:
Hello sorry can you tell me how you rolled back and what firmware do you refer to?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sursur:
Hello. Booted into erecovery, pressing and holding vol + with power button. Then choosed recover or restore through network in the erecovery menu, connected to wifi, downloaded firmware. That's all. I want to mention that roll back was after something went wrong with Xposed, Oreo 8 was succucessfuly installed without issues.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] javhusin3:
same here

Even I rolled back from EMUI8 to EMUI5, I faced bootloop issues after installing xposed. So beware...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sursur:
It worked fine. I found this version at rovios github called 90 beta 4 or somethinh like that. Some old module caused bootloop
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
Info: Looks like from today, the latest Oreo update B528 is available for all Honor 8 chinese models -> Firmware B528 (8.0.0.528) is approved for installation (OTA and FullOTA package). So if you have already installed B520 Oreo update before, you can download and install OTA update to B528 (size of ~340 MB) via "System Update". But if you have installed B511 Oreo update (or if you are on latest Nougat update -NOT TESTED-), you need to go to "Options" (3 dots icon at top-right) and choose "Download latest full package" to get the B528 update (size of ~2.62 GB) in "System Update".

Have fun with Oreo! :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysnX:
The latest L09 C432 B407 appeared on FF which is a rollback package to N! It seems like that was the last update before Oreo!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Yes, if the FF schedule goes normal, we will see the EU Oreo build in FF on Saturday or Sunday.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gdp1979:
The Oreo update is coming!!

This reflects that the Oreo update for your device is on the way. It might appear in FF by end of the day or latest by tomorrow.

Kudos :)

These are good news! But America is still out of luck because Trump banned Huawei and other Chinese companies from "The Mighty USA" because this is the land of freedom and they don't appreciate companies from communist countries, even if they established as a capitalist company, except for ZTE because America's mobile network is mostly based off of the company's technologies.

Guys, I see the version 8.0.0.521 already but is it normal that I can't update to version b407? Firmware finder finds it not approved for installation? Btw how can I find out what my model is? Firmware finder recognizes it as FRD-L09C432
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperSwordSmasher:
Since It Recognizes It A FRD-L09, That Means It Confirmed That Ur Using FRD-L09

In Hungary I'm still on C432B405.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skyrush7:
You can update your phone through FF to 406, I've done it too. However, B407 is not approved in Hungary yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Old friend:
Croatia. B407 OTA FULL arrived. Do I install or wait for Oreo and leave this for a return to Nougat if i need it?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flip360:
In terms of camera and battery life for my needs the H8 is very capable to this day, but after this move by Honor i am surely gonna carefully spend my money elsewhere the next time and be on the lookout for the companys update policy record.

The "hardware or software is not capable" is a load of BS.

If i could i would switch to the V30, S9 ($$$), or the MiA1(cheaper option).

This. Screw its customers. Read that, Huawei reps!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
I have been looking at the v30 as well!! But all the other LG phones I have had always had weird software glitches ? mostly in the ui. I don't remember how LG is with there update policy though ?. And yah it's like honor is just saying **** you to everyone that bought the phone. I really thought the 2 year updates along with the partnership with XDA would really bring more to this phone sadly no.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Ken is right we have no clue why they are being **** heads my guess is to promote their other phones, and make more money. Still that's pathetic and I hope it ****s them in the long run.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
I just thought of something that would make me a little less pissed at honor, if they told us exactly what these so called hardware and software limitations preventing them from giving us Oreo where.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flip360:
Somehow i dont see that ever happening even if we somehow magically get Oreo. Shame.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kandelai:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] msnxda:
I dont expect that an Oreo update will increase my user experience of this phone. The honor 8 is a great phone as is. Very good battery life without the need to tweak things, fast enough to do all the daily stuff. Its the apps that matter, not a new version of the OS they are running on.

Security updates is a point of attention. I received one today. so a very satisfied user.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Good for you. That is your opinion, if you are okay with being misled and not having the latest OS that's on you. U do know that Oreo improve the art runtime and the security as well, improvements in the art runtime will make apps even faster plus there is better memory management, so the fact your Satisfied by being f***** over when they said they would support this device for 2 years just blows my mind ?. Also I do agree with you on one point you made, the device is a great device just the honor update policy is b*******.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rickymills:
time for a class action lawsuit.. why would make this big policy about 2 year free upgrades

from 6.0 to 7.0 ( 1 upgrade) the other ?? 7.0- 7.1.1/8 ??

disappointed

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
I mean they could try to void the lawsuit by saying that they didn't mean major updates, which is a shady thing to do and that should prove to all of us not to trust honor again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Fr bro Save up for a Sony or pixel or something.?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
i'm quoting this guy because i did the same thing to see if honor india live support was going to say the same thing and this was in rom development:

he provided no sources so i decided to contact Honor India support myself and get a transcript so i'm not calling BS on this. i personally believe in the recent news that this is all total BS. there's NO way that Honor can't make Oreo for our phone because of "hardware" incompatibilities. the Honor 8 pro on the other hand isn't even that much different from the normal Honor 8 other than the faster CPU, the pro being a Kirin 960 and ours being a Kirin 950, which begs the question of where this information is coming from.

so as of now, oreo is either in the fate of openkirin (which has a great start of development for our phone!) or honor will cut this b****** about if they're going to release the update or not.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Shout out to the guy in the pic below as all this info is his.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maverick Honor:
Hey.. i was being sarcy about the BS excuse given by the Honor and no way defending their policy. And yes Honor expects us to be simple minded (fools) to understand their 'well crafted' explanations....

PS: How do i get this "Honor Supporter" tag off my profile? cringing everytime i look at it...:eek:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
No bro I have no clue how to change that ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vysakh M Nair:
I am not sturdy of getting this oreo update. all i want is get Good Battery Life from Next update.. My SOT is now close to 2 hours after this fkin B350 update on my FrdL02B675..This build has a severe battery drain bug for all Indian users.. And they arent even bothered to fix it.. And we are Still stuck at september security patches. The thing i am not getting is why we indians users are always avoided. L09 and L19 users are getting constant updates and out here the last update was on september..

Highly regret now for buying this phone.

You cannot update any new firmware (after 406) via FF anymore, only old ones.

Are you all going to upgrade immediately? I think i will wait and see what works and how buggy it is... But I guess Honor will not publish updates for nougat anymore, right?

This article says to update via HiSuite,but for me it hasn't worked yet
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] colliflower1107:
Hasn't worked for me today either. Guess i'll wait until tomorrow to update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iosonooff:
IMO thay are simply writing the standard things for the updates. They said also that yesterday the roll-out is started and noone have received (until now) oreo in the official way.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
Is anyone in the forum here that has an Italian SIM card on their phone set as the primary/4g card, that tried to receive the update via System Update (not Hisuite) yesterday or today?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Higubar:
Anyone has received it via hisuite?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iosonooff:
I am here. I have an italian SIM and the version FRD-L09C432B407 (updated 3 days ago). I am checking every hour/half-our from yesterday morning using System Update, FF and Hisuite. NO updates until now. As I can see from italian blogs, no one has already received the updates through the official ways.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boran1:
No Oreo Update available (Neither FF nor HiSuite) in the Netherlands:eek:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
The Oreo Firmware is not approved in Firmware Finder, so no OTA until it shows approved. If u longpress on Check Avaliability it will show if it is approved WITHOUT IMEI.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan Valentini:
There will be no OTA, the only way to download the update is via HiSuite, here is the officiale procedure: https://www.hihonor.com/it/Honor8oreoupdate.html
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] neo76:
url is 404
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Just simply type an additional L at the very end of the URL. :facepalm:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] timwelter:
Did this work for you? Because I tried it yesterday and it's not working. Also you forgot an l at the end of the link.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iosonooff:
Please, check the link
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan Valentini:
Sorry for the bad link, now I have fixed it.

And no, this procedure is not working for now
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sideness:
Wrong ! The update will come through OTA. HiSuite is just a way to get it faster. Don't spread any misleading information please.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan Valentini:
In this facebook post Honor Italy says: "L'aggiornamento, contrariamente al solito, non sarà disponibile via OTA ma sarà necessaria una procedura speciale." which means that the update

contrary to usual will not be available via OTA but will be available through a "special procedure" that is via Hi suite

Facebook post: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1728902037146490&id=736476616389042
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] neo76:
And the Italian communication manager said it will be available on July 31 too so...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sideness:
Ivan, that's nonsense. Community managers don't know anything. They're no technicians. They're only trained to interact with people on the internet.

Honor wouldn't spend money on the Oreo update for only 5% of their customers. The vast majority of people don't know how to update exept for OTA.

Oreo is coming through OTA, don't worry about that ;) (and HiSuite, like every upate)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iosonooff:
I do not agree. They make a webpage to explain the process. Usually only comunication via social are wrong.

Furthermore, if you check on FF there are only FULL-OTA for the oreo update. For other devices, like Honor 8 PRO, before the oreo update there wereon FF FULL-OTA and OTA updates.

Maybe a different procedure is required to support treble (system partitioning system I guess)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan Valentini:
Honor just released another statement saying that the update is slowly rolling out and if you are lucky you will receive the update before others because the roll-out is "IMEI based"
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan Valentini:
I know, even for me that doesn't make any sense , I'm just translating what they are saying ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
When u go from Nougat to Oreo it has to be a FULL-OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Berecz:
I didn't care about updates for this phone in the past months. I thought there will never be bigger update. Now I came to xda, I am really hyped for Oreo. I hope it hits Hungary soon damn.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante96:
What about dload method to get oreo? Look here
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] colliflower1107:
Dload doesn't work when the update hasn't been approved yet and the HurUpdater is only for unlocked devices anyway and Huawei aren't giving away any more unlock keys now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MysTiCy:
So when the update gets approved, do they release a new approved version or a approve-patch for the update? As far as i have seen, that's not the case.

So when you install a firmware via dload, it has to have something that lets you install it. That puzzles me.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
"Approved" means your device is approved to get the update.

Updates are released by IMEI batches.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] colliflower1107:
I would guess that once a firmware gets approved on the database, the device automatically updates it's own database with the identifier in the approved firmware which allows it to pass the check to see if it can be installed. No additional firmware is updated, just the database. This is all a guess but it seemed pretty logical to me.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MysTiCy:
I was just thinking about those with no internet connection(bricked phone) that are awaiting for a update to get approved, so it can be installed via dload.

Maybe the firmware list just gets updated into some bootrom when the phone gets internet access.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
I think we in Italy will see the update in September. A lot of people received B407 a couple of days ago and Honor never release updates with a small amount of distance between them , plus the firmware isn't even approved. Usually when approved takes at least 15-20 days to become installable
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wagierek:
Same in poland, just got B407.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Asmod96:
Also in Poland and I got B407... Five days ago, I think.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:
On FB Italian they (honor) said that Oreo will come only with HiSuite (like the site hihonor) but on Twitter they said that Oreo will come via OTA too. On FB said it will come with Oreo (and that's true) while on site and on Twitter it will receive only features by Oreo (I don't think that's really)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Asmod96:
And conclusion is... they really know nothing :p
