Apology accepted. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ash7868:
For the indian varient?

What about Frd l02
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdmusicbx:
We get screwed with even security patches. I'll be surprised if it arrives before Q4.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] @Deadpool96:
Indian users always face update related issues on their devices. I hope we will get Emui 8 soon.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elkkooz:
Russia just got oreo
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Yes.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tracerlx:
Is that beta?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
I don't know, but I can say that Oreo is really close to release in the EU.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
"Visible in FF" does not mean it can be installed.

Is it approved for installation on a Russian honor 8 ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BnK1986:
This isn't a log version so it's a final version I think
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liPillON:
501 was the same build tag used in the first oreo beta release for chinese devices

the build that got publicly delivered in china was tagged 520

let's hope that other regions too will get the most recent build
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
no 501 Oreo build for chinese devices.

Chinese devices have 511 and 520, both got beta (-log) then final build.

Don't have, on my AL00, 520 available for installation (yet...).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Did you read about P9 and P9 Plus? Huawei officially confirmed that the Oreo Update won't see light on those devices, in spite of the fact that a Beta version was released on Chinese models. The motivation behind that was the Kirin 955 (Same as 960 but underclocked i guess), they said that this processor could't manage the Oreo update. It's a lie l, i know...but i hope they don't do the same thing also for Honor 8, because i've heard about the russian models have an oreo update on FF... here's the source of the italian article:

https://www.tuttoandroid.net/huawei/ufficiale-niente-aggiornamento-oreo-huawei-p9-587886/amp/

However i'm not saying anything with that, just reporting some news so please be kind when commenting. Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I believe that the P9 news are just as fake as the one we recieved in January which said our device wont get Oreo. It's most likely the fact that their support teams doesn't have the info yet. And considering that it has now been released for Russia, the rest of EU should get it soon too (I hope atleast that my FRD-LO9C432 recieves it in the next week).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Rebranded to Russian C01. The Oreo update is pretty slick.

We have AR Lens, a Game Suite of some sort and the rest of other goodness.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pranav Kumar:
Bro, in Oreo Aptx is present ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Yes, support is present both in Developer Settings and the required lib files.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NyoSan:
The game suite was already here on Nougat.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Must be a region thing. It's not present in any other regions so I thought they just added another bloat.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
One question for those who rebranded to get the Oreo update: Is present the face unlock like P9 lite and others? I think no, but just saying xD
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Djok:
What about the battery? No change?

Wysłane z mojego FRD-L09 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
No, Honor 8 won't include Face Unlock AFAIK. However, there's a Magisk module available which enables the feature on any EMUI 8 device and it works for H8 too.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
This is a hard question. I never measure my battery life. All I can say is that my battery was really bad on Nougat (I believe the battery aged quickly) so I don't expect anything from Oreo (battery personally doesn't bothers me anyways). What I can confidently say is that system performance has improved a lot. Device is way smooth now (app opening times, animations, overall operations).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sbodezzi:
Hi, have you try the new update with any treble rom?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Treble ROMs work with our device. I tested it when I upgraded to Chinese Oreo. However, the camera doesn't works yet unfortunately but I've heard the OpenKirin team is close enough to fix it and next Treble build might potentially contain the camera fix for Kirin 950 chipsets.

And about the experience, Treble is more smoother than EMUI, more battery friendly and camera performance will be same as stock (since all Treble ROMs include EMUI stock camera so picture quality is unmatched).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boris dmello:
Any guide that we could follow to test it?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Treble?

Go here openkirin.net

There site has all the downloads and the guide to flash the ROM.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boris dmello:
The Honor 8 inst listed on the site, is it a single file for all phones?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:

That seems to be for the Chinese region. We'll get ours within time.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
I haven't even got the June security patch, so I'll have to wait at least another month or so for Oreo to come to L04
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apok@lips@:
I dont think its only for Chinese, because you can find report on web which said " started rolling out on July 9 and should reach all the above-mentioned handsets by month-end".

I got it today. :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jk32597:
I've seen a lot of talk about L04 and L09, but is there any chance that the L14 will receive Oreo? Sorry if that's a noob question, but I am sort of a noob.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
L14 is L04 with more internal memory. It will receive Oreo too. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jk32597:
Ok, thanks for explaining :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
For L04?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Frau Son:
I doubt it.

The only models on which Oreo is already available are Chinese and Russian ones (Firmware Finder).

Maybe he/she is talking about the security patch that got rolled out today (B407), even though that one seems to not be rolled out for L04 either.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
Yeah I figured. Man their so slow when it comes to updates and being the unpatient guy I am it ticks me off that I have to wait like an extra month (or more) just to get a security patch...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tracerlx:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lashazln:
Hi everyone, if I see FRD-L09C432B407 (2.505 GB) in Firmware Finder for Huawei, does this mean that I can just download and update my system now? Is it the same official version as it will be when I get OTA update? My current version is FRD-L09C432B405
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
You need to check if firmware can be installed on your device first ("Check Firmware Access" in Firmware Finder).

If installation is not approved = can't install it without using modified recovery ("NoCheck" mod) or using TWRP (with "HuRUpdater").

;)

EDIT: And yes of course it's officials versions! (can see beta "-log" versions too) ^^
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lashazln:
It says that B407 is not approved, but I have B405 now, and when I check two B406 files (one 156MB, other full 2.505GB) they are both approved. They are not Oreo updates I guess, because the date says 24/05, but why did my device skip those OTA updates? Is it better to install them? will I get Oreo sooner if I install B406 now?

Sorry for noob questions :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sheldd:
Your device didnt skipped them. Just wait, i'm on B405 too, still waiting for b406 ota. If you dont want to wait use FF to update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] levus95:
Install the B406 update. It has nice new features and bugfixes.

Devices skip some updates because of... well... because Huawei. ?

Unfortunately, you will not get the oreo update sooner. The two things works separetedly.

Btw. I'm very disappointed that we have to wait at least another month to get the oreo update. This is such a type of discrimination. ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lashazln:
Why do you wait? what is the advantage of waiting for ota? is it safer or what?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
This is testing, and progressive deployment.

They want to avoid locking every honor 8 of a region with a bad upgrade, so they release it a batch at a time.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sheldd:
There's no point in waiting, but there's no point for me to update it faster too. I dont give a damn hell about this security patches, so i dont care if it isnt ore. ✌️
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
Live in Finland, still nothing on my FRD-L09. Currently on C432B405.

God, i do hope i'll get Oreo soon. I pretty much adore this phone, but Huawei's update policy is trash.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
Waiting Oreo update (B520) too, on my AL00 chinese model... :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Days Tech:
They don't have an Oreo for this model yet, sadly.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LINJEinc:
Live in Finland to, and I have B406 on my phone.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
Well, for some odd reason i only have B405 on my model. Though i check for updates almost every day, nothing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LINJEinc:
Why not try FF, think it will work, unless you bought it from from like Telia, Elisa or something
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
That is what i did, actually. I bought it from Elisa's online-shop.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LINJEinc:
Bought my from Gigganti, or whats it called, I'm from sweden so, but it works just fine for me with updates

Gigantti in Vaasa is where I got my phone from
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Has anyone actually recieved the B406 update OTA? Or is it worth it to just go ahead and use the proxy thing in FF?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] astartusfi:
germany already recieved B406 OTA. don't know what's with the other parts of europe.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] havugotwata:
I updated mine with FF to b406 and im on FRd L09C432. Im from France BTW.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Days Tech:
Use the DNS thing in FF
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
Sorry, guys, i am new to the party. What is "proxy in FF" and how i can use it to update my phone? :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fantomatico:
Proxy method won't work. Go for installation via DNS.

You'll find the instructions below in the app.

1. Select the firmware that you want to install, check if it is available for installation.

2. If the firmware is available for installation, click 'Get an Update through DNS'.

3. Click 'Change DNS', confirm the launch of the VPN. The key symbol will appear in the status bar and message in notification bar.

4. Go to Settings->Update and check the availability of the update.

5. For FullOTA firmware, you need to click the 'Download full package' button in the Updates menu, for OTA actions is not required.

6. Compare the firmware size in Fimrware Finder and in the Update application, it should be approximately the same.

7. Confirm the installation of the update. Disconnect the VPN as soon as the download begins.

8. The device will reboot at 100% load.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
I did everything as you told, downloaded C432B407 update which is available in FF, but it didn't allowed me to install it. It said something like "update is not certified and thus cannot be installed and will be deleted".
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Days Tech:
Because it is not approved yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Old friend:
Croatia Tele 2. Still B405.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yaslaw:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nichobrooks:
I'll receive Oreo for my honor 8 (USA) when I buy the OnePlus 6T :eek:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
If July 30th is when Italy gets Oreo then that means Canadians/Americans don't get it till the end of August/beginning of September...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
So you work for Honor USA then?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
Pretty sure I haven't said that, but it's common sense. I still haven't received the 396 or 397 update and still neither of them are approved on ff yet so what does that tell you?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Tells me you're ignorant to how updates work. There are updates the US variant has gotten that the other models haven't and vice versa. If you like you can contact one of the head people at honor us and ask him. His name is Chris. Go on the honor us beta page on FB. He's listed there.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsacter:
Well after all it was just my speculation from what I've seen from the past couple updates I've received so far, based on my specific model. To you I might sound ignorant but to me I'm just making sense of what I've already seen, and making predictions from there.

I have a chinese honor 8 FRD-AL10 running android 7.0 fw FRD-AL10C00B396: how can I update to Oreo?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
Better waiting for an update via OTA, should be soon especially if firmware installation is approved on your device.

To check firmware approval, use "Firmware Finder for Huawei" app and choose a firmware then "Check Firmware Access".

There are two "FullOTA-MF" of B520 in Firmware Finder, check both. ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tucci90:
No u didn't..

"1. Select the firmware that you want to install, check if it is available for installation."

Always check first if it's approved :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apok@lips@:
There is 8.0 on FF for global version. ^_^
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
Yeap, i see it in Firmware Finder for my FRL-L09. Though it's not approved. Not even B407 approved yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] czesieq:
I have already installed B407 on my FRD-L09C432 via OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
I am not - it just isn't available.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lashazln:
Hello everyone, I am trying to install B406, I checked and it is approved, I have downloaded it, and then I am clicking on "get an update through DNS" it enables vpn and I see an update in System Update. but when I click it, it says "download failed". what am I doing wrong? I am impatient about Oreo, that is why I am trying these things now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liPillON:
received B407 right now, in italy
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
When you receive the update notification, kill Firmware Finder (to stop VPN service) and then start the download.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lashazln:
I am doing that, still says failed
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Now just simply check for updates without any VPN service. I tried downloading B407 several times, but it successfully downloaded via official OTA. It's now available in Hungary and maybe in your country, too.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lashazln:
Tried that too :( when I do that, even the B406 update disappears. I guess I will just need to wait :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Have you downgraded to FF 8.2? Maybe it could fix your problem.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperSwordSmasher:
Guys Guys Guys Guys, Listen, Look At Each Photo Carefully And Read What It Says... That What Happens When You Click The DNS Update And The Proxy Update
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lashazln:
Just tried it. same result.

I have read that. but I don't know which firmware they mean under "still works for the older firmware". my device is emui 5.0.1 and B405
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
It clearly says it would work on older firmware (a.k.a. EMUI 5.0 or lower) but it doesn't work. :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foxtrot_lima:
How about downgrade to emui 4 and then flash the oreo firmware?

Or do you have to be on emui 5 before updating to oreo?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LightyDust:
Just got B407 on my FRD-L09 via OTA here in Finland.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zakk87:
Why you posting it in this thread?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Because it's the last update before Oreo and it's a mandatory update to receive the biscuit update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MysTiCy:
But still on 402 here in Finland. FF says 406 is latest approved.

Apparently it's not about location. Maybe just random.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LINJEinc:
Must be random, as I live in Finland, and I got 407 via OTA a few days back, and now I can see

Oreo in FF.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] srgrusso:
I just flashed FRD-L04C567B520 (8.0.0.520) from Firmware Finder on my FRD-L04 using the HuRUpdater method. It boots into Emui 8.0.0 and in about phone it show it's Android 8.0. In about phone the device name shows unknown like it is missing OEM info. Not much works, the Phone app and Camera app causes the phone to reboot. This all may be related to the way I installed it. There is no app drawar. There is no gapps. There is only the Huawei apps installed. I just figured I would share my results. Should I try flashing the last updates OEM info?

Use HurUpdater To Go Back. Remove Everything Until It Says No OS Installed In TWRP Even Data, Vendor, System, Then Flash Latest Approved Firmware 3 Files, With Custom Recovery And HurUpdater File.

This Would Bring You Back If You Want
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] srgrusso:
When I flashed Oreo I only had the Full OTA I didn't have any other files. Right now I can't flash TWRP I'm getting the folowing error.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-frd.img

sending 'recovery' (25184 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.649s]
writing 'recovery'...

Good news is my bootloader and FRP are still unlocked. I might have to try DC Phoenix. I'm guessing the partition size changed for recovery. I'm using my Essential phone as my daily driver so it's no emergency that I get this one fixed but I would like to fix it all the same.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperSwordSmasher:
HEY, Did You Know That The Flashing Recovery Command For Oreo Is Different Than Android 7

Its Like "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk (file)" Or Something Like That. Search In The Internet

Thats How You Fix The Problem. You Should Use The TWRP In Multi Tool V8. On top click emui 8 And Then Click recovery And Flash The Oreo Recovery From MultiTool
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] srgrusso:
Thanks

The new command is "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img". It flashed TWRP for me, but TWRP no longer works might need to be Oreo or in ramdisk format. I get the screen that looks like the bootloader screen but says "Error Mode". I tried Erecovery but get the same error as always. The new stock recovery either doesn't see the dload folder or they removed that option. I can't remember the code you dial to get to the advanced update options.

Edit: I: should have read your post more carefully. I will try the TWRP from Multi Tool. I suppose I need Windows for that. :( Maybe someone might have a link to a working TWRP for Oreo.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] srgrusso:
Ok I found a working TWRP image without using Multi Tool. Before I restore my phone I would like to know where I can find the two other files I need for Oreo. I have the "update.zip" but I don't have "update_all_hw.zip" and "update_data_public.zip". Are these universal or are they specific for the ROM I'm flashing? I lack the knowledge I need to figure this out. As far as restoring my phone I might be able to use a TWRP backup I have or use the method [MENTION=9296014]SuperSwordSmasher[/MENTION] described.

Make Sure You Use Android 7 Twrp Before Going Back To Android 7
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] srgrusso:
Problems ,problems and more problems. I manage to find a full set of the b385 update and figured I could then restore my TWRP backup after that. But I am running into a huge problem. The TWRP I am using will only let me mount system read only regardless of what I choose in the initial setup. When I go to mount, system is mounted read only and it won't let me unmount it or toggle the read only option. So I guess I'm still looking for a working Oreo TWRP for this device. I can wipe and format Data. I can mount and umount an partition except for system.

Thanks for your help
