It's 10j

How about dat Anti-Rollback number? We're currently on ARB1. If it increases to ARB2, I can't take this until we get another root method besides the TOT.

Update through HiCare?

Hello, so I'm currently waiting for the Nougat update to arrive on my Honor 8 (L09) but I noticed that I can upgrade with HiCare, so is this recommended or will it wipe my device? And should I use HiCare or just wait for the OTA in the updater app?

Hi! I did the update to EMUI b360 via the Hicare app on my L09 honor 8 and it went just fine. Lot of people here did the same without issues. It does not wipe the phone, but I still recommend you to do a backup before proceeding.
EMUI 5 works flawlessly, I really like it.
For your information, my phone is *not* rooted. I don't know what happens with updates when the phone is rooted

Sorry for being a total noob at this, but what do you mean with Final Beta? Is this still Beta software? Where battery optimization isn't that good etc. Or is it the one they are rolling out using the update app for some?

It's not final. p9 got b361 and even that is not final version. So don't smartass things you didn't check.

https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1835 Yea, like I'm totally smartassing thing I didn't check. Last time I checked the P9 and Honor 8 are different devices.

"Final beta" means exactly what it says on the tin. It's the least beta version. The next version will be the final release. Assuming that the report is correct.

Who said anything about final beta?

There may be a bug regarding safetynet so that Android Pay and other services might be affected. Source: https://club-us.hihonor.com/honor8....google-pay-nor-safety-checker-both-fail-.1577
Hope someone can confirm it here. So, be patient for those who haven't gotten the rollout. Let bugs resolved first.

WTF is a 'final beta'?? A beta is a beta. A final is a final. Let's not muddy the waters chaps...
B360 is the latest stable release that's being pushed to everyone. It's not a beta!
The reason that some have it and some don't is because they can't push it to everyone at the same time, they do it in waves depending on your model number, location and IMEI. If you don't have it yet just chill, it's on its way. It was due for February release anyway so think yourself lucky that you might be able to get it a little earlier if you do, if not you'll be getting it on time as expected.

Don't complain. My FRD-L19 is still on August security patch!

Firmware 50.1.A.10.40

Have anybody installed this? Does it still breaks Xposed? What are the changes to previous firmware?

Just installed it, it's june 1st security patch. I don't know about Xposed, my Xperia is not rooted

I can almost guarantee Xposed will not work with any security patch after 4.102.
Until there's a new Xposed after 90 beta3

Unless you're some kind of CIA agent with mad secrets to keep confidential, or some billionaire with bank accounts hackers around the world are trying to gain access to, odds are upgrading firmware past 4.102 will have little to no benefit tbh. By all means upgrade if you don't mind losing Xposed. You can always downgrade with Flashtool

Yes, you are right. My personal guess would be, they just bump up the security patch level and thats it. But its nice to have the latest numbers in "About Phone", although its mostly psychological

Haha sooner or later rovo89 will release another version of Xposed, hopefully it'll work with the newer security patches.
Until then, it's a choice between Xposed and that psychologically pleasing updated firmware info ?
Me personally, I finally downgraded with the new flashtool, and now Xposed works and I have no plans of upgrading until a new Xposed is released.
