Greetings,

How to update frd-l19c432b407 to Oreo? Tried with FF but there is a checksum error when tried to download. I never receive updates trough Hisuite because the phone was bought on a China Store (frd-al00) and used on Southamerica.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AN KU SH:
We will probably get it in next year

dont gonna buy honor device again

Shame on them
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spica1234:
Well, still it shows unapproved. And by the way, the link shows 5.0.3 in image. I am actually on it but flashed unofficially. I fpund it super stable and gr8 battery life after 2-3 recharge and after few changed settings

Those pictures basically said that the new EMUI 8.0 on this honor 8 comes with the Android 8.0 "Oreo". This version made the phone more intelligent, more secure, and much faster (especially boot up time and open apps).

I'm still really happy, now I feel like I can use my Honor 8 for maybe an extra year or more thanks to Project Treble which should probably give us more stable custom ROMs. :)

I was thinking if there is no Treble then I'll move to Honor 10 or maybe a new OnePlus device. But now I want to save a little more money for a P series or Mate.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boris dmello:
Thank you for all the info, I updated to the latest available version of Frd-L02 B404 I had few issues, was stuck at boot screen but a factory reset solved the problem. But after the update the build number is not frd..... And the emui update app is also not there and no update option in settings :( I used the twrp method since hisuite gave no internet connection error. The bootloader is also locked and the service to get unlock code is also unavailable, I have requested code through a Google form but haven't received any code yet.

I am glad the it worked and got updated :) just not having any idea how to update in the future. :confused:

Hi,

Anybody knows how to rebrand Frd-l02c675 to Frd-Al10?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saeem:
This is what honor said to me yesterday.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Trust me, rebranding to Chinese firmware is a mess. It's better to wait for the update for your region.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Yes, i agree with that. There's also an high chance of brick...expecially if you want to rebrand because you want to try Oreo
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
I rebranded successfully yesterday but lost IMEI since Chinese regions have a different modem. If you're on a dual sim phone, you can rebrand without loss of IMEI. However, single sim devices are out of luck.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Yeah that's true. However even if i'm on a dual sim device, i want to wait for the official release. I think it can help me to avoid a lot of troubles xD
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Markxdx:
how did you do? will you now install oreo?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
I don't think using a phone without a cellular connection is going to do me any well. I'm waiting for now, patiently.

"About phone" picture from FRD-AL00 B510 (french language) attached below.

In this beta version of EMUI 8 for Honor 8, no "Face Recognition Unlock" in settings. :(

EDIT: I have no issue at all (2 days since update, with RedLotus method). :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liPillON:
what can you tell us about the rom?

what about the stock applications? has calendar been replaced by the google/aosp one?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Markxdx:
Did you install it from the European honor 8 (l-09)? does the telephone network work?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BnK1986:
I want to know if network is working and what is RedLotus method maybe i'm gonna try this

What is the antutu benchmark score?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
I'm new to the android world, I had Apple smartphones before. ^^

Stock applications are mainly chinese... no stock Google apps in honor/huawei chinese roms.

My phone was imported from China, it's an AL00 but was rebranded as a L09 when it came. Rebranded China model can't use recents firmwares ( > B380 ) so I rebranded back to (original) AL00.

AL00 and AL10 chinese models are unlocked for international network carrier, so yes it works. :)

Network is working perfectly, RedLotus method is explained on this topic: https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306

But DO NOT FORGET to rebrand your phone to AL00 or AL10 (if not, already) before trying it!

EDIT: Antutu Benchmark v7.0.7 / 3D Bench 7.0.4 (4 tests):

Test 1 - Phone plugged in USB computer = 117 733 (Bug? It was the first test and it's the lowest score! ^^)

Test 2 - Phone plugged in USB phone charger = 135 108 (Screen capture attached below)

Test 3 - Phone plugged again in USB computer = 135 880 (High score here!)

Test 4 - Phone unplugged = 130 467 (Very Good!)

EDIT 2: 3DMark Benchmark 2.0.4574 (Sling Shot Extreme) scores screen capture below! ( "Your score is better than 100% of scores for the Huawei Honor 8" for the two tests! )

Do you find any problem with the wifi connections? Is the battery drain better or worse than previous case? I am asking because there is a bug for Google Play Services we think: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79665217
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] continua.mente:
how can I update my Honor FRD-AL10 to Oreo?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
No Wifi connections issue actually and battery life is very good, seems better than Nougat ROMs (because of Google Play Services bug???). No freeze, no fast battery drain, all good! :)

Keep in mind that Oreo build for Honor 8 is currently "Beta". If you want to install it, follow the RedLotus method (how-to): Method 1 Using RedLotus

This method requires HiSuite 5.0.1.300 (do not install latest version/install this one over the latest): HiSuite 5.0.1.300

If you have "FRD-AL10C00", here is the link to the filelist.xml: filelist.xml

:good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Markxdx:
if I understand correctly, could I rebrand my frd-l09 in frd-00 and then install oreo with redlotus?

If my honor is Chinese why I can not update via ota?

Inviato dal mio FRD-AL10 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micdu70:
To get "Beta" builds via OTA, you need to join the "Beta Club" of Huawei (website here). But the "Beta Club" for testing Oreo is now closed (was open from 4th to 11th of May: Source here).

Without an EMEI installation approvation from Huawei servers (for a firmware), you can't install it theorically. :rolleyes:

That's why the RedLotus method is helping. ^^
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stefc13:
I really hope HUAWEI will not do like they did with the mediapad M2... They opened a beta for Android 6 and they finally stated that the version cannot be ported and cancel it ! :mad:

As a result the Mediapad M2 is still under ANDROID 5 :crying: but got surprisingly a security patch last month ! :cool:

Hey fellas, just one question.

I've been reading this topic and downloaded the firmware finder app, and it does find my build number in a perfect match, I can see the FRD-L09C432B405 FullOTA-MF on the list of the FF app. Does that mean that the europen version in now in beta testing? What is the difference if I download it now vs the official release, will it work or do I have to wait for the official release?

Thank you for the info.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krikoo:
Yeah it will work fine. The thing is you have to wait until honor releases the update in your country but in FF you can see the available updates and you can download them if u don't want to wait.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
B405 is the May security patch for Android 7.0

There is no Oreo European version beta test yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubabic:
B405 is just another regular update with new Google security patches for May 2018. It's not Oreo firmware. EU version doesn't have beta release for Oreo. It was released just for Chinese market...

Sent from my Honor 8
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nisde25:
Yes, in the morning I did recieve the google update to 405, but in the firmware finder there are 2 files with the same build number, one is 150MB, and the other is 2,497GB. Is the 2,5GB the OREO version or some other stuff? Will the european market get OREO? I think I read somewhere that there has been a rollout for the German market with the 8.0.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BnK1986:
Nope you have to wait another B4xx firmware or B5xx

Thanks for this info! I will download it. :)

But I need to find a way to update from "B510-log"; without a patched "Ramdisk_Recovery" for Honor 8, I can't update to "B511" (unapproved firmware) directly, with RedLotus, sadly... :(

I tried the Rollback package (from Oreo to Nougat "B396"), with RedLotus and dload method, but it's unapproved for my device too. xD

Tried to flash January "B396" (approved firmware) with RedLotus method, not working... but the error message asks me to download firmware from eRecovery. Firmware B396 was found (Rollback package again?) and downloading now... :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: eRecovery B396 firmware (it's with january 2018, google security) was a success! I can now unlock the Bootloader, flash the 2 patched Recovery "NoCheck", and use RedLotus method to flash B511 Oreo! :D

Why it take so long for such a big company to release Oreo?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pranav Kumar:
They will focus on there latest released mobiles then after previous models. Honor 8 released way back in 2016 they released Nougat on their promise date then after they launched many budget devices, as you can see all latest budget devices(2018) from Honor have OREO and finally Honor 8 will get OREO
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Yup same for the Honor 6x as well.They just finished beta testing in China model and released stable and logs were released for global models.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] epdm2be:
Why? I've got mine still on Android 6. I fail to see what's really improved on 7 and 8.

It's got more of that ugly blinding white and most of the real improvements like "project Treble" can't be implemented (because you'll have to re-partition the entire internal storage).

From what I've learned with previous phones is that you'd better stick with the OS the device came with. As that's the one that's the best optimised because devs spend the most time with it.

Oreo is just an afterthought now, since Honor's attention is with the newer models, and will be badly optimised, full of bugs. It'll be a dissapointment. They'll only release it because of a lot of people kept *****ing about it.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

Oh please. Stick Nova launcher on it and you're half way. The other "features" are either useful or don't matter that much. The look and feel of the setting screen for instance. You only use it a few times and mostly to remove apps. The notification pane sure it'll looks a bit different but it has all the best things in it like auto-brightness and again you don't use these that much. The programmable back-button is really useful. One click and I've got a flashlight. That works much better than unlocking phone, swiping down, press flashlight toggle that you ahve to do with standard Android.

And many other things can be changed. You don't like the camera app. No problem use something else (Camera FV5 or "a better camera"). Don't like the dialer, no problem use something else (e.g. touchpal contacts).

It's still Android. So what's the big deal.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sbodezzi:
I don't use any Google and Huawei apps.. So why I have to stick with an ugly emui full of proprietary software if there is a possibility to stay pure Android with just the apps that I need? The thing that convinced me to bought this was the partnership Huawei - xda. If I had know that Huawei. would not cooperate , I would not have bought it
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
Are you frickin' kidding me? The test build of Oreo on Honor 8 CONTAINS the files for Treble and the partition system on Huawei phones is already optimized for Treble in Android 7 (because it has the vendor partition needed for Treble device drivers). So, if Android 8 will be buggy af, you can still upgrade to it, unlock the bootloader with the saved unlock code, install TWRP and install a Treble Generic System Image (GSI). And you can use Android 8, 9, etc. without major flaws.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Added to that if some manages to port the EMUI camera app with all its libraries like that for the Kirin 960, we'll have the same camera performance!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Frau Son:
... where the hell do you see "more ugly blinding white"? Did you even take a look at EMUI 5? Plus you can theme it how you want. I hate the black notification bar so I installed a Pixel theme and now it's nice and light.
