That would be really great. But sadly this is not how Honor operates. They give as little information as possible and do not give devs any kind of sources they can actually work with. About the testing: It is completly unknows what they mean with that. Maybe they make a new firmware and actually test it, what to be honest I highly doubt. They claim that oreo is in "testing" Since the beginning of december and havent changed that statement for nearly two month. They probably want us to believe that there is a hardware problem and thats why they dont update it while they actually dont give a single **** about us. At this point I think Honor is just trying to do some damage control for when they finally tell us that oreo will not come to our device. This will definitly be my last honor device, thats for sure.

With Nokia you get security updates almost at the same time as Google (unlike honor} as well as at least two major OS updates. Honor wake-up or simply keep behaving like this and loose customers. ;)

Thank God I'm so happy.! Hopefully this is all true. And not just bs.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
I don't understand all this mixed information about how the honor 8 wasn't going to get Oreo because of hardware and software issues, and then all the sudden we were hearing that they would Port over some of emui 8 features to us now they are saying we are going to get emui 8 wth ?? I just want the truth.

It is writen that honor 8 will get emui8, but emui8=!android8.

And earlier the said that emui8 for honor will have some things ported....

Now... if we get full android 8 then it will be greait!!!! If not.. honor8 is still great phone! Remember that:)

i dont want to **** on anyones parade but...... just because its oreo doesnt mean it will have treble and that is whats important. yes, it will be oreo but it wont have any of the benefits for custom rom devs. only devices that "SHIP" with oreo ie "new devices" are required to support treble.

also, huawei/honor has already somewhat protected themselves by stating that some devices will have hardware/software limitations... i wonder which ones? obviously the devices that just came out will more than likely have treble enabled oreo, but older devices with current successors more than likely wont. its just business i guess but **** huawei!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Who knows who cares at least we will be getting oreo.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
We might not get all the features of emui 8 but it does sound like we are getting emui 8 now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
All Honor phones that have received oreo via an Update have project treble support so far since Emui already has a second vendor partion it is easy for them to provide treble support.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Mod Edit, It Just Said That Honor OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED IT
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:
An operator from Honor Italy (just one) said that Honor 8 Will get Oreo. Anyway the most reliable source, for now, is that Chinese forum. One more thing. Honor Italy, Germany and Global already said to don't believe the Indian outcome.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
With hardware limitations honor probably means that the Honor 8 won't get features which are down to the AI features which are present in the Kirin 970 because the 950 doesn't support this.

Somehow I am positive now with getting Emui 8.0 which also means we are getting Oreo since emui 8.0 is based on Oreo.

Also I have heard that Honor/Huawei already used a second partition like treble needs, also also, every device which got EMUI 8.0 supports treble since it's seems to be easy for them to implement it.

Anyways, let's say only chinese models will get Oreo, we could still rebrand our device, also it would still make development of a custom Rom easier. Isn't it then possible to just port the AOSP from the Mate 9/Honor 8 Pro to our device?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
The AOSP 8 for Honor 8 by XePeleato already uses some treble compatible blobs from Mate 9. But due to the hardware differences not everything works as expected.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Yup u r right. Even if the Chinese version gets Oreo with treble support we'll get high quality ROMs no doubt.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rayraygez:
I heard that we are getting oreo!! It was confirmed on a Chinese website officially by honor or I think it was Huawei.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
Almost one week ago, they sent this reply - the honor 8 users rejoiced; hope was finally here.

Today, I've realised they have been sending this message to anyone asking for the Oreo update on twitter, but the phrase "in one week" remains the same.

Honor reminds me of the old joke:

- How do you make an idiot wait one day?

- How?

- I'll tell you tomorrow.

In all seriousness though, if we take their responses in face value, they are implying that the Honor variant sold in India (FRD-L02, correct me if I'm wrong) is not fully compatible (remember the "hardware and software incompatibilities?) while other variants might (or not..) be ok. I haven't been playing with rebranding, but it seems that it is a thing among people in XDA: has any of the users with rebranded Honor 8 had any problems with their device afterwards? I think I remember some problems (reboots, instability?) of users of Honor 8 AL00 when they rebranded the phone to L09..? Please confirm if you know.

So, in other words, do we know if there is an important reason why a variant might be incompatible but another not?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
The difference is in the radios. For example the US model is single sim only whereas the UK model is dual SIM. A further difference can be spotted in the partitions like OEMinfo or others which make Chinese users unable to rebrand to other variants.

Apart from that, the hardware is similar (they all have same SoC) so if one variant is compatible for an update then sure are the others.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamriyse:
They said we would get in update in like a week but where is this update
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
They said they would give us information about the update within a week not the update. Probably in Q2 if not in Q3 we will finally receive the update
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
Huawei have said the Mate8 is getting Oreo which I believe used the same Kirin950 chip set, so should be no reason why we couldn't get it also IMO.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Guys just a quick question, since the Huawei P9 and Honor 8 share the same hardware, is it possible that it will help us developing a good ROM (or even port it) when the P9 gets Oreo (and treble since every huawei phone got treble which got an Oreo update)?

https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-emui-8-0-devices-android-oreo/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigD18t:
P9 has a slightly different chip set, it has a Kirin 955 instead we have the 950, but as I posted above, the mate 8 is the same as ours and is getting Oreo, so there is no reason we can't have it except laziness.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Well, the only difference between Kirin 955 and Kirin 950 is the higher clockspeed. Everything else is the same, I don't see any problems. So if the Mate 8 gets it aswell, also with treble, it shouldn't take long until a ported ROM will hit our Honor 8 right? I mean, the AOSP Oreo ROM from the Mate 9 also works perfectly well with the H8 pro (same hardware like Mate 8 and H8).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aegde:
We better get it, the only reason I got this phone was the 2 year update promise and the partnership with xda.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cuckmaster:
We do have a Oreo Rom that works really well, so for honor to say that it is not compatible with our device is complete lies, yes the dev is having a time with getting the camera to work but he is super smart and will figure it out plus honor has the sources ? he doesnt.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultimatez906:
Does it actually work well? I've never tried it
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor8von:
Yeah it does work really good it does have some bugs obviously but it still works pretty well.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
Are you both trolling? Are you referring to this: https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/development/openkirin-aosp-8-0-honor-8-t3717563 ?

If yes, no disrespect to the developer, but the ROM is very unstable (a lot of crashes reported), there is a bug with the wifi, Camera and NFC are not working etc.

But, in any case, some people are missing the point. Honor 8 might be compatible with AOSP 8.0, but it is not necessarily compatible with EMUI 8.0. And the company who sold you the phone didn't sell you a phone with AOSP, they sold you an EMUI phone, so they need to make their software to work. It would have been very nice of them if they decided to provide an AOSP version of the firmware, and propose only developers to use it but it would not be available to the masses over OTA. But, I will not hold my breath for that. Having said all that, I prefer Honor keep their promises and provide two years of updates for the phone, ideally including EMUI 8.0.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Guys i think we can stop talking about Oreo and Honor 8. This "telenovelas" is going too far and sincerely i'm not the only Honor 8 user sick about this s***. The real thing beside all those confusing answers fron Honor representatives is that our beloved smartphone will never be update further, even if it's SURELY capable. If we're lucky we will see security patches (obviously 3-4 months after all other smartphones and always with one month difference from the one we're living). Huawei/Honor made a lot of ****ty things with they're previous flagships like P8 and Honor 7 just for example (and probably P9 too) and we trusted them again also because an useless xda "partnership" wich provided zero benefits to users but probably more to site owners. In the last time i've read a lot of comments of people attacking the ones who care about Oreo, telling them that H8 works still good, it's a fast phone and so on...and i perfectly agree with that. But i CANNOT agree with a f****** marketing politic wich make older phones after 1.5 years without providing AT LEAST two OS major update, because Samsung, Sony, Google, Lenovo etc. except rare cases are doing this. Now, if you can live with that it's okay, but don't bother us, because we want what we deserve. And Huawei/Honor aren't doing anything about this right now beside taking joke of us.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamzeros:
Hell yah we want Oreo
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultimatez906:
Yeah, I flashed it and ran into some bad bugs in the first 5 minutes. Camera didn't work but I knew that going into it, Google services wouldn't work and I mean actual Google, Google Play etc. I couldnt setup a pin properly, I set one up but it crashed right after. it asked me for a pin to setup fingerprint but no pin worked even though I tried the exact same one I put before. I never dabbled into it too much after, I just went back to stock.

The dev is good though, he's really working to fix it but it's hard getting Oreo rom to work on a device like this. I think over time it'll get usable.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
I surely hope so, but my answer was not a critique to the developer, it was about people saying we have an Oreo ROM that works 'really good', *today*. Sorry, but no, we don't.

I am also saying that Honor/Huawei needs to bring EMUI 8.0 and not AOSP 8.0 to the phone, and EMUI 8.0 is heavily built around AI and other marketing gimmicks. So, imagine that they put EMUI 8.0 and every single thing works, but then the phone battery lasts 3-6 hours. They can't publish that. Or everything works except, for example, the proximity sensor. You might not need it, it might not be instrumental for the operation of the phone, but they cannot publish an official ROM without support for it. Of course, all this is speculation, since Honor doesn't say anything. But it might be show stoppers that we will never find out.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
You're over exaggerating some of the stuff. It's not difficult for manufacturers to update a device. And they already have trimmed versions of EMUI which improve performance on lower end devices but H8 is not a lower end device. Since Huawei owns all the code, it's the only manufacturers which can offer much longer updates but unfortunately the only thing Honor cares about is releasing devices every month and make money.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
You are very correct and it was one of the reasons I got the phone in the first place - however I don't think they own all the hardware in the device, parts of the main board come from different manufacturers. In any case, you mention that devices have slimmer versions of EMUI 8.0, which device right now has such a version?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
Yeah, right... customer support guys love to do things just to piss off customers knowing that they are prime targets of customer anger on every such case.

They do not know what to answer because no one from those who are really in charge has come downstairs and said "WE WILL" or "WE WON'T". Thus guys downstairs keep squirming and generating random noise just to distract pissed off customers. Unless we get solid confirmed and oficial YES, treat all this white noise as NO.

Plus, news that some companies are skipping 8.0 (https://www.engadget.com/2018/01/31/essential-phone-skips-android-oreo-8-0/) due to it's bugs/instability and going straight to 8.1 could be indication that Honor 8 might go Ascend P7 way - long wait and then sudden jump to the 8.1.2 as final one. P7 was kept on 4.4.2 with much foam being generated on this forum and then finally it got upgrade straight to 5.1.1. Was long wait though.

Bros!

I am in serious need of help right now.

I could not find the OTA patch for elite roms,so I wiped all the partitions available in twrp except internal storage.

Changed data to ext4.

Flashed stock recovery.img from twrp and proceeded to dload method, it gives an error on 5 percent.

Now i only have stock recovery and fastbooot.

I tried fastboot flashing different images eg recovery,twrp,system,vendor etc but they all give an error of "command not allowed".

(On fastboot screen,it shows: "phone unlocked" and "frp lock")

I tried some guide for solving this error which said to "fastboot oem relock *16 digit code*" but it also gives error : "root type is risk".

I had legend rom installed before starting all this.I wanted to go completely back to stock.But now i have bricked my device with a stock recovery and a fastboot which can apparently get no useful command to work.i have searched all the google for all the the different huawei devices but nothing is working.

Hi,

So the story goes, few months back i corrupted my nvram and lost imei, SN no., etc. With time i restored Imei and fixed nvram error in wifi but the main thing that still bugs me is that now i can't download any apps from play store (Downloading through any other source using Chrome works) and music is not loading on Wifi (On online music apps like Saavn, Spotify etc). Everything works over mobile data though.

I tried changing ROM but the problem still persists. When i install any fresh ROM (be it stock or custom) WiFi problem disappear till first reboot. One reboot and problem comes back.

Anyone got any idea how can i fix this? Any help will be appreciated.
