[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Are You Like Me? :cool:

Have you remained Vigilant.. and kept your 7x a Virgin?

Untouched by the rough hands of another country's software.. resisting the unwanted pressures of your peers to unlock your chastity belt.. (A.K.A.) your bootloader.. to give in to what's been described as plethora of pleasure known as:

TWRP.. Root.. ROM's ( As Unstable As They Currently Are On The 7x )

Well..

I'm happy to say Gratification is just around the corner.. :cool:

U.S.A. Variants ( BND-24) Versions of the 7x will recieve the "OFFICIAL AND 100% STABLE" release of EMUI / OREO 8.0 within the next 72 hours of this writing via an O.T.A. update from Honor.

I'm So Glad I Stayed Locked & Stock :)

Congratulations Honor!

You came through!!! :good:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with taking ota, flashing a custom recovery does. People that rooted would have problems with taking the ota.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
You State The Obvious..

Who Unlocks Their Bootloader To Look At That Hidious Exclaimation Warning! Screen And Not Modify Their Device?

You State The Obvious.

Of Course You Blow Your O.T.A.'s..

And You Also Rush To Root... And Brick.. Based On How Many "HELP ME!" Threads Now Saturate The 7x Threads. :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] allrockedout:
I just got this device. I was on here seeing if theres a way to unlock bootloader and return to factory later. Because I knew the Oreo was coming soon. That's great news. I thought it was coming in May. So I'll just chill and wait for ota for now. Will honor come through when it comes to letting us unlock out bootloader that is the question. Or are they just working on updating a faster bootloader unlock process for us?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
A Suggestion...

Congrats On Purchasing A Fine Device... :cool:

LEAVE IT STOCK.

Take A Look Around The Threads..

Look at how many have bricked their 7x's

In Such A Hurry To Root... For What? :cool:

There Is Not A Stable Fully Functional Custom ROM Out There For The 7x.

There Are NO United States Of America FACTORY IMAGES Out There For The 7x.

You can eh.... Flash a Stock ROM from another country ;) At Your Own Risk Of Course.

Have you stopped to ask yourself.. why Honor has not released Factory Images for this device.. that was announced in October of 2017 and released December 7th 2017 ?

People are actually PAYING services out there to recover their 7x's.... because they go down the rabbit hole and can't get out.

How Sad Is That...:cool:

You Were Wise To Stay Locked & Stock.. :good:

In about 60 hours you'll get your payoff..

Wait until Decryption is resolved before you Root.

Wait until a U.S.A. Factory Image is released before you Root.

You Can Do Everything With A STOCK 7x That You Can Do With A Rooted 7x :cool:

You don't need backups.... STOCK ROM'S DON'T CRASH... AND "FACTORY RESET IS YOUR BACKUP" when you don't root. ;)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
I did, so I don't have to lose my data once factory images are available and I decide to root it in the future.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] str8stryk3r:
Yeah exactly the same reason as the post above mine. I unlocked the bootloader the day I got the phone so that way when the time comes to do any rooting or modding I wouldn't have to wipe my phone and lose everything. And I've still received all the ota updates on the L24 thus far with the unlocked bootloader.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] monorail0:
Yeah but stock ROMs ;) send your data to the Chinese government :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Soapy!:
Still can't believe they took down the BL unlock site.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
I Fully Understand Your Reasoning..

It's A Logical Path To Pursue... :cool:

I have NO FAITH in Honor releasing Factory Images in the near future.

I think there is a "Method Behind The Madness"

Personally, my Android Data is all backed up in 2 places.. and it's all Android - Centric

I would NEVER do ANY personal business (Banking , Shopping Etc) on any Android device.

Especially an HUAWEI / HONOR device.. for all the reasons my Government has stated.

This is not a "Long-Term" solution phone for me personally.. It will be sold.. actually it would have already been sold, but I had $900.00 vehicle repair snatch my OnePlus 6 money right out of my hands.. :D

This device was a Failure as far as gaining Developer support...

No Custom Kernels: "Franco's Kernel" oh :( if only... ( So why root.. You can't under / overvolt, swap governers, add features etc )

Even though Kernel Source was released 5 months ago. :cool:

It appears... Treble Ports are the way of the Future. I'm not complaining just stating facts.. ( I guess if I loved the 7x that much I would learn how to pack a Kernel for myself and use it..) but I don't love the 7x and it's Kirin Technology enough to do so.

This device will just never gain ground or love.. is hated by my government.. has the Un-popular ( For Developer's ) Kirin Processor and a weak GPu.

What it does have is Oreo 8.0 and Project Treble Support baked in.

Let's keep it shinny and in "Like-New" condition.. Pure Stock ( No Warning! Screens NEVER Modified in any way ) and ready to sell...

That's The Ticket. ;)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] DevilWithoutACause:
So I'm unlocked rooted and running TWRP on my l24 does that mean I miss out on emui 8 or are there any Solutions
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
How long you think it'll take for treble to be active for this device? I'm considering updating to the beta so I can then use the RR rom but whats the point if I can just wait a few days to get official Oreo and then be all in with treble. I guess I don't fully understand what treble is nor it's immediate relation to this device.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] allrockedout:
Treble will help get custom ROMs on our device faster. Just wait for official Oreo. Than we unlock bootloader. Wait for updated twrp with Oreo support. Than custom ROMs. Than would need treble support twrp. So we still have a ways to go for treble and custom ROMs. But we're getting close.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] adfurgerson:
This is a simplified explanation of how Treble works, or at least my simple understanding of it. Google requires any device shipping with Oreo to have the main OS reside in its own partition separate from the OEM vender stuff.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] monorail0:
Is no one else going to comment on how crazy this guy is?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Why Wait ?

Listen... You Don't Need To Wait For Anything... :cool:

I MAY BE 100% INCORRECT.. BUT, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HUAWEI / HONOR HAS STOPPED THE ABILITY TO RETREIVE YOUR UNLOCK CODE (OFFICIALLY) FROM THEIR WEBSITE.

If True...

Do you know what that means?

It means... they MAY NOT enable the Vendor Partition in the OFFICIAL ( O.T.A. ) version of Oreo / EMUI 8.0 that will be released in about 48 hours from the time of this writing.

Without That Partition.... Project Treble is a NO GO.

In your case.. If all you want to do is run the ROM you mentioned, just use the Bootleg Method posted elsewhere in these threads to Unlock your bootloader.. Install one of these Unofficial TWRP's floating around... and install your ROM.

Done.

Why Wait?

For the Official Release of Oreo on Monday when all you are going to do is Overwrite it with a ROM posted elsewhere?

Sounds Like You Know What You Want...

Go For It. :cool:

Stock Oreo has NOTHING OF INTEREST for those that just want to flash Beta ROM's

Stock Oreo / EMUI 8.0 is for those of us that put 100% Stability and FULL Functionality First & Foremost..

I paid 100% of the Price for this Device.

I Personally.. Want 100% OF THE DEVICE'S SOFTWARE & FEATURES FUNCTIONAL...

At this point in the 7x's development... Only Stock EMUI provides that level of performance. :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
I actually like EMUI. I'm just concerned about the whole Chinese government thing mostly lol.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] aouerfelli:
Haha yeah, and the extensive use of emojis really gets on the nerves.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
If I Handled My Personal Business On A Cell Phone... I'd Be Concerned Too... :cool:

If all you have are Android Apps.... who cares. :D

That's a PERSONAL CHOICE as to how much of your life you trust to divulge to your cellular devices.

And Yeah... as far as features an the ability to Customize a Pure Stock device, EMUI Kicks Ass and Takes Names :good:

And it's Soooooo Stable and Smooth.. and has 10 TIMES the Developer Support for Customization of what you ACTUALLY interact with.. than those who worry about what the Developer - Unfriendly Kirin Engine is doing.

It Cracks Me Up how many have went Ape S*it trying to Root and have bricked.. then are like OH MY GOD! HELP ME!

Leave the Damn thing "STOCK" until the day you have REAL REGIONAL FIRMWARE available to you.. To Fix Your Boo-Boos.. And leave all these BOOTLEG methods starting to pop up left and right alone. :cool:

Hey Ahmad... :cool:

Here is a way to avoid seeing my emo's ;)

I ONLY POST IN "MY THREADS" WHEN IT COMES TO THE 7X... THERE IS NOTHING ELSE OF RELEVANCE HERE ANYMORE EVEN WORTHY OF MY TIME..

I'm sick of seeing " Help Me! My 7x has fallen and can't get up! " threads. :cool:

So you pretty much will not see RAIDERWILL & HIS EMO'S anywhere but in a thread he created.

SO AHMAD... JUST STAY AWAY FROM "A-N-Y" RAIDERWILL THREADS.... AND YOU'LL BE GOOD-TO-GO. :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Why?

Monorail ? :laugh: You Have A Singular Wit. :cool:

If I'm insane.... Then Why Are You Reading The Comments Of A Madman? :confused:

Have You Asked Yourself that mono....

I Don't Know.... Over 1/2 of all the comments I've ever made on XDA have been "Thanked" for being useful or insightful.

But... since you're *Correct* in your assessment of RAIDERWILL... I guess the 500 or so others were either just as insane as RAIDERWILL for giving him Acknowledgment with a " Thanks! " or simply don't possess your keen insight...

Or... could it be that.. ANYONE on this rock we refer to as Earth.. that has the Unmitigated Gall to Disagree with YOU Monorail should be Hanged, Drawn and Quartered !!! :laugh:

Pssssst.... Hey You...... Over Here.. I'm going to tell you a secret to help ease your Ailment...

*Simply Don't Read RAIDERWILL'S COMMENTS OR THREADS..*

Done. :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] monorail0:
I don't really understand this. You bring up my handle, "Monorail", before telling me that I "have a singular wit". Are these related? If so, what about my handle makes my wit singular? If not, why bring up my handle at all?

I have. In short, the comments of a madman are far more entertaining than those of most sane people. It's like a form spectacle.

I'm glad that you are overall a helpful member of the community. Thank you!

Crazy is a scale, not a binary trait. Even crazy people are capable of doing things worthy of thanks, although with diminishing probabilty the farther up the scale you go.

You don't really seem to understand why I think you're crazy. I have written down some thoughts on why. If you can give lucid responses for why you do each one of these, I will gladly "Thanks!" your post. Here's why, in no particular order:

Your very nonstandard and inconsistent grammar, far beyond the realm of typos (I will list more if you want, but doing so is exhausting):

- Putting spaces between the final word of an interrogative sentence and its question mark.

- Nonstandard usage of consecutive periods; typically three periods ("...") are used to indicate an "audible" pause in a sentence.

- Highly inconsistent usage of capitalization. Eg, "Have You Asked Yourself that mono...." Why did you capitalize the first four words in this sentence but not "that"? Nevermind that only proper nouns should be capitalized in a sentence, aside from the first letter of the first word. I understand that not capitalizing my name was probably meant to demean me so you don't have to explain that one. Although you do capitalize my name later on, so I really am just out in the weeds on this one.

Your referring to yourself in the third person.

Your usage of bizarre Puritanical sexual analogs in reference to your cellphone.

Your unnecessary infusion of dogma with each response you make. Take post #3 of this thread as an example. I don't really think post #2 makes sense but your response is my interest. "Who Unlocks Their Bootloader To Look At That Hidious Exclaimation Warning! Screen And Not Modify Their Device?" This is you saying that you don't like the "Warning!" on boot, phrased as a rhetorical question. Cosmetics have absolutely no bearing to the substance of post #2's question. Why did you choose to include this in your response? It seems as if you are looking for reasons to shame others for thinking differently than you, and you do so at every chance that you can make for yourself.

As with most spectacle, I will only stop looking if it becomes uninteresting :)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
There You Have It Folks!

See?

Poster #21 Just...... Can't....... Stay....... Away!!!

I..... LOVE..... IT !!! :cool:

And He's A "JUNIOR POSTER!" :D WITH 10 POSTS!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Don't Try To Fence With Me Boy...

You'll Loose.

Just....................................Go Away.

My Thread has NO NEED for your "Long-Winded" babble.

It's a time to rejoyce !!! At Least For Those That Are Ready To Get Our Stable Oreo Update..

Get more than 10 post under your belt... ( Maybe 100 ? ) of MEANINGFUL POST...

Get Some "Thanks!" for ACTUALLY HELPING OTHERS... ( you basically have none.. )

No One requires your delightful insight in this Thread. Just Go Away? Thanks! :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] monorail0:
Will you just answer one question then? I really am curious how you decide which words in your sentences to capitalize.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
72 hours are up, where is the update man?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Whoa........ Nelly!

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Dude!

I Have To Assume.. You've Stayed Up ALL NIGHT In Anticipation Of Receiving Your Gift... :cool:

I'm not sure where you are... but, as of this writing.. it's 7:47 A.M. on the West Coast... and 10:47 A.M. on the East Coast.

I don't know what time XDA is showing ( and don't care ) but it's VERY EARLY in the day. :laugh:

Can We All Have Time To "Wake-Up" .... Fire Up The Server.... And Commence Distribution?

Update:

I've Just Checked The List.... Your 7x is 238,149 in line to be updated! :good:

Please Stand By... :cool:

P.S.

While You Wait... Prep Your Device For A *Clean Install* That's Critical With A New O.S. :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] smokinjoe2122:
I think people have some unfair expectations...Huawei is not Apple, or not even Google..When an update is available, they roll it out in stages, much like every phone manufacturer. Even on my Nexus devices, I never received an update as soon as it was announced...I wish in some cases manufacturers were more like Apple in that regard, but I doubt that will ever happen.

For those with short attention spans: TL-DR Be patient. Yours will get it....Eventually
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
:( i have been pressing the check update button for the past few hours. Fml
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] n9yty:
That's what the Facebook post told us to do.... :)

https://www.facebook.com/usahonor/posts/1815965815371503

'Get your "Check for updates" buttons ready!'

So, I have been making sure it was ready all day. LoL

How much free space is needed for the download/install, and any other special things that shoudl be done to make it easier? I had quite a delay between hearing of the last update(s) and seeing them come up, my phone must be pretty far down the list, but keep hope alive... LOL
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
You've Answered Your Own Question...

If You Truly Believe That... Then You Believe Your Station Is The Middle Of The Pack.. :cool:

I Lead.. I Don't Follow.

Someone has to be * Amongst The 1st Group To Be Updated *

I Will Fall Into That "1st Group" Category. :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] smokinjoe2122:
The unfortunate part is though, you literally have no control over when that update hits you, unless you try forcing it with offline files...So good luck!
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
It was a late April fool guys.. update is rolling out in September
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] steven360:
Yes! I saw the update in Firmware Finder for Honor 7x, and I knew the update was coming, :)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
The one in firmware finder fails verification ?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
It will install though. Takes two installs using the manual update method (no-check-recovery) and writing update commands to cache (needs root/twrp)

first install fails verification on data updates. second update from oreo completes.

Saying all that , It is not a method for everyone. It has too much chance for failure.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
Yeah I'm not rooted with TWRP yet, seems like a hassle on this phone.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Clarification...

I Hope Some Of You Are Not Confused... :cool:

If you are Rooted using TWRP... You Will Not Be Able To Recieve The Update Through Conventional Means..

But you have the Bootleg Methods to install a version of Oreo 8.0... or stick with your Bootleg ROM's.

And For Those Of You That Have Remained Stock...

Please.. Be Patient.

And remember..... Honor Promised A *Quarter 2* Rollout... They still have 60 Days From This Date To Get It To Everyone. :cool:
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] jacquesdupontd:
What a funny thread ! I especially loved the exchange between Monorail and Raiderwill who speaks like he knows everything, but i don't mind. Except all your blabla was ineffective, but yeah, the update will arrive at some point ! ;)

As for me i don't care, i'm in Europe and have applied for the Beta testing and i'm currently on the Oreo Beta which is perfect as of now. I must say that there are no Dramatic changes, but it is good. My hope is that with Trebble support i'll have a chance to get a Factory image or backup of this one, then try a rom like Lineage OS 15.1 to see how it runs on the Honor 7x. I am well aware that EMUI is really good and stable and doesn't require any changes, that's just for curiosity once i'll know it is safe and can be reversed.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] darkmage1991:
i just checked and i got my update. :)

for some information my phone was preordered so i got one of the early batches.

EDIT: i just checked and i placed my preorder on january 20th through amazon. so it wasnt a super early preorder.

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

there we go 8.0 all installed. not sure if i like the new settings menu. something ill get used to i guess.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Hmmm....? Raiderwill Knows Everything? :confused:

When did he state that?

Can He Port ROM's ?

Can He Compile A ROM ?

Can He Pack A Kernel ?

Can He Alter Command Files ?

No... When it comes to ROM Development... Raiderwill Don't Know S*it. :cool:

But.. The Main Thing Raiderwill Will Never Be...

IS 7x SHEEP.

When it comes to: "Fall in line.." and NEVER say an ill word in regards to the 7x or any subject..

It Will Never Happen.

If It Were Not For Treble's GSI Images.. This Cell Phone Would Be A "Developer Fail".

No Recognized Elite Developer Wants Anything To Do With The Kirin Technology Engine In The 7x.

If You Want REAL Development... With Custom Kernel Support.. Go Get A Snapdragon Based Engine Device.

Thank Goodness, This Device Stands Up Pretty Well On It's Own Merits.

I Want To Take A Minute And Personally Thank All Of You Who Continue To Remain Compelled...

And Vigilant... To View & Comment In The Raiderwill Threads :highfive:

Your Reactions.... Your Passion.. Your Compulsion.. To Read My Words... Comment, Attack :D Means The World To Me. It Means I'm In Your Head... I've Triggered Emotion... Enough So That, You MUST Read and React.

Best Of Luck With Your Honor 7x.

Remember... Huawei / Honor Are Watching Your Every Move And Reaction To Their Current Moves... ;)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Helgen:
Sometimes, the people on this forum make me remember why I don't like meeting new people both online and off. Thanks for the reminder.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaiderWill:
Man.. It's Nothing Like Having Your Point Proven ^^^ :cool:

I think so much of the bitterness is simply due to FRUSTRATION.. So many truly believed the 7x was going to be the next

*Hit Device!* here at XDA.. The next Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 or Motorola G5 / G5s Plus..

Dare I say... The New Nexus... :rolleyes:

And it turned out to be None Of That.

No ROM Development.

No Kernel Development.

No Factory Images For Nougat.

No End User Respect From Huawei / Honor Whatsoever.

You know what? I'm right there with you. :cool:

I bought the Hype too... if it had a Snapdragon Engine.. Well, you already know the answer to that one.

By All Means.. Keep Commnenting & Attacking if you feel the need to vent...:good:

I don't blame you.. From an Enthusiast Perspective, this device never made it.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
Just sold this junk and bought a pixel 2 xl after adding a couple hundred bucks. Getting the May security patch tomorrow.

Best of luck to those waiting for their Oreo..lol
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] smokinjoe2122:
Not sure how you can say it's junk when it's just $200, and you already admitted to adding a few hundred to get a used Pixel 2.. Not everyone has the means or the need to spend more than $200 on a phone..The fact it's getting Oreo ahead of other phones in the same price point (Or more) "Cough Motorola", speaks volumes.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnIXmA:
Junk for me since lte does not work as Huawei had blocked my carrier to use lte for some reason and now this pathetic slow rollout.

My wifi stops working after every few days and I have to factory reset
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
I am also having trouble, that I just noticed. With LTE.

When I first received my devices one month ago, I recall having the lte logo. And after trying some other roms(beta updated, and treble roms) I noticed I no longer have the lte signals.

I thought the other rom had messed up the phone some how.

So I tried on my second phone (untouched) ,but it also has no LTE connection.

After reading your post I tried a couple things. And what I noticed is with a sim card from FreedomPop (mvo of att) I get LTE.

And with an ATT SIM card I have only 4g.

My other phone (Blu studio xl2) with att sim has strong LTE signal.

It does seem like att is not allowing the connection to LTE .

Next I should check switching the two att sim cards. If LTE works on the honor 7x at first then drops to 4g , that will show that ATT Is activly blocking access

Update:

I swapped sim cards between honor and Blu phone. Same card from honor also did not have LTE on Blu phone.

And sim from Blu had LTE when in the honor.

So either the card went bad, or ATT disabled LTE on my card after detecting it was in an honor device.

Update 2:

I contacted AT&T they told me that the IMEI on my phone does not match up to correct phone, and that was the issue. They changed some settings on there end and supposed to OK in few minutes.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikelets456:
That makes sense because I have ATT and get 4G LTE on my 7X and on my wife's 6X. However, I don't think calls are placed over LTE, which is not a big deal however, does it place calls over WIFI? I can't confirm if it does or not...
