I think it's a unique phone. And I like it but it's a bit expensive :good: :fingers-crossed:

where i get for honor 8a stock rom
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] nation888888:
Why bother with the stock when GSI's work better? All android 10 will work. Android 11 and 12 have brightness issues. The GSI I have tested is Havoc 3.2 and thus far works perfectly. Unlock using HCU. Register device ID with Google.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
Honor is very disorganized.

Different countries have different information.

The Indian representative hadn't even added any description.

The last date is February 28, 2019.

Way more than that of other countries.

They have accepted my joining request.

Lets see what happens next.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] murali3127:
Does that mean we get to use pie after Feb 28?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
It's hard tell for sure.

Is it the last date to join the program or the last date of beta testing.

Or last day of beta updates with another week of reporting.

We can't be sure until Honor itself says something.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Updates are pushed earlier than they were mentioned, dont worry, it should come early
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
I understand that. Just bringing the issues with Honor to the notice of others.

They should have organized it better. Now suddenly it shows project full with 200 participants. Earlier it was 500 users. They themselves don't know what they want.

I haven't even received the 8.2.0.150 update with December security patch. I have more complaints from honor regarding their management rather than real issues with my device.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] hareshsangar:
I am from india... But project is not available for me... 4 gb varient
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] mbwf:
This company are a very disorganized bunch. "Chaotic" would possibly be the understatement of the year. Look, Huawei, either release the Beta OPENLY and in ALL LOCALES, or don't bother. Why all the arbitrary countries?

If a company were deliberately trying to develop an active strategy to put people off their brand, THIS would be a good example of how to proceed with that.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
You most probably have a Black color variant.

As per Honor forum moderators, the model number for that is different than that of the Blue/Red color variants.

Black color variants are Made in China while others in India.

So, your device is not being recognised as a supported one for Indian Beta testing.

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

I understand what you mean to say.

But, there's a reason why Honor does what it does.

Different countries have different models. For example, the Indian variant doesn't has NFC while the Global Variant has it.

Also, different countries need VoLTE support for different carriers. This is not an excuse but still giving Honor the benefit of the doubt.

Honor had announced that it will bring EMUI 9 to India with specific India related features. I don't know what thag exactly means. If it will have something useful why not provide to the whole world?

So, I understand honor releasing update country wise but what I don't understand is that why not organize the whole system as 1 on the out side.

Did you already get the update? I still waiting for registration

Germany version
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Sometimes it takes upto a week to get it approved.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyo11:
OH wow but the project ends in 6 days :rolleyes:
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] 1error:
dont worry, its only the registration that ends in a few days.

they might extend it though, since there are only 64 spots or sth out of 200 taken.

im a german user and im waiting too :)
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] chris rock:
Is it only emui9 or with android 9?

The article said Android 9 but the homepage discribes only emui9.

I'm not sure if I should register myself. Maybe the phone won't work completely after update....
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Its android 9 with emui 9
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] walnadz:
Maybe you can just register and once they pushed the update, just wait for someone else to try and see how it goes for them. If it goes well just give it a shot by updating.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] chris rock:
Might be not more bad than an lineage unofficial build... ?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyo11:
Yea it's both
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
Huawei/Honor has started numbering their EMUI based on Android version.

So EMUI 9 will always be based on Android 9.

Honor doesn't follows Xiaomi's pattern with MIUI.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] hareshsangar:
Yep... My varient is black.. may be thats reason.. but no one posted the screenshot of pie update in India
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
I believe we will only get a Beta build once all the 500 testers have been recruited. And since Black color variant users are not able to apply as of now, it may take some time for the spots to get filled.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] walnadz:
Well that's weird because my 8X is a black variant.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
The color-based issue is only in India as we have got two different 8X models here.

The Black color variants are Made in China. While the other 2 colors are Made in India.

Black color variants receive a different Firmware version as compared to the Red/Blue color variants even though the changelog is exactly the same.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyo11:
So on the German beta version is still nothing. We have just reached 79/200 will take a long time to get full :rolleyes:
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] chris rock:
So it's better to stay with Android 8.1 and emui 8.2?
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] mbwf:
If one expects coherency and consistency from a company which consistently demonstrates a lack of willing to be transparent, and an inherent inability (or lack of willingness) to make things easily understood, then maybe one could be considered as slightly naive.

"Promises": a promise is comfort to a fool, wisdom shows this. Chat logs and hearsay from Honor advisors is worth absolutely nothing. Talk is cheap.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] clint132:
Same as mine
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] rohitagstam:
I have blue color varient which is made in china....

There are two versions 8.2.0.150 which is made in India and 8.2.0.160 is made in china...

So beta update is only for 8.2.0.150 which is made in india.

[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] walnadz:
Well if you saw my screenshot in my previous reply, in the BETA app it says they will start pushing the updates on 30th January onwards for Malaysia. So most probably it's gonna happen after that date. Few more days tho

I know it fuc K edup but then is no other way to wait.. But its curios we have only 100 people in the beta test and it needs so long to roll it out..

So after one Day the beta runs smooth but there is not sooo much diverens in Performance.

Battery life seems the same as oreo.

I prefer to do an factory reset after an OS Upgrade. I will do after a first offical Release or maybe in next days.

Aaand Sry for my English.. Is not the best :laugh:
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
Someone on emui8 with the emui9 OTA prompt, could share it:

-with Firmware Finder's Android app

-with adb debug, doing an adb logcat to revel firmware http's hicloud link
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] daser4berlin:
Yeah that's an option to become the link but how u will install it.. Firwarefinder don't work fully anymore... I have test the New erecovery Option but it doesn't work to becorse huawei don't give it free for Installation from Server site.. Think has to do they rolling out ther update in waves in Blocks of a range of imei s like IP on DHCP Prinzip..

The other way that will work is maybe HuRU-Updater and HWota but u need TWRP or Tools like the other Software from Mt Team bootloader unlocked is required..

The other f u c K is that huawei has removed the Option in setings to download the full Rom again but man there are many ways to brick your device..

Sharing OTA via visual way method (need to be tested on emui8.2):

-EDIT = DOES NOT WORK ON Emui8.2 - > Use logcat method instead

1. Whenever you get official OTA update prompt, do not start downloading it. Instead open Firmware Finder android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder

2. In firmware finder, left side menu and click on "Share Firmware" option.

3. Enable VPN as asked in prompt.

4. While VPN is running : Go to EMUI updates again, and just search for updates 2-3 times or click the 3 dots/lines in the upper right screen and select 'download full firmware'.

5. Then you should launch download update. Once it has started downloading, you could pause it.

*If this method works on emui8.2 and latest Emui updater version* :

It should automatically send OTA or FullOTA-MF http link to Firmware Finder app and they will update their database in the next minutes/hours/days.

6. You can just disconnect VPN, and download update as it is or now try the command line method with adb debug and logcat.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
I think sharing with FF not working. As we shared H10 update which is not present in FF a couple of days earlier but it has been not updated in the FF.

ADB logcat might give you URL but for beta builds they will add unique hash to the URL .
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
We should just need g and G terms from said links to then be able to scan whole new repository from windows firmware finder.

download it as "update.zip", extract that .zip and you'll see a file "update.app", create a folder in internal storage or sd card named "dload", move "update.app" file into the "dload" folder.

after that, shut down your phone, and press "volume + and volume - and press power button", you'll see a honor logo and then emui update screen boot up.

no wonder why the update isn't coming to your device.. unlocking bootloader could change your imei number, and also disable an ota features, almost, similar to rooting your device.

all you need to do is, reflash the stock firmware to make it relock your bootloader.
