Installing is no problem uninstalling it is another story. Be sure you have backups and a full update.app of the marshmallow update

This. I'll wait

Downgrade from Android 7 to 6

Hi.
I got an official nougat update today but I definitely don't like new emui 5.0 and want to go back to previous version.
Is there any way to do it (I prefer official solutions).

EMUI 5.1 OTA Update

Did any one get EMUI 5.1 OTA update? Or when will we get EMUI 5.1 update by OTA?

Do I Wait For 8.0 on ? FRD-L14

My other device is out of order right now so I switched back to my old Honor 8.
When I did I received 2 updates.
But still did not get 8.0 is it something you a to do manually?

If the L14 is an American model then you won't get it. It's not out. Otherwise, you'll need to update via hisuite for the official way

Does using the hisuite to update it erase everything on the Honor 8 ?

Yes. Anytime you update to a new Android version a factory reset is mandatory

You can make a backup by using Huawei's own Backup app.

yes you should wait B560 update with 8.0 showed up for L04 and L14 on FF

Does anybody know if the American model is still going to get 8.0? This is just sad now.

Personally I gave up on waiting and flashed the unofficial frimware from FF. I'm more than happy with stock Oreo, it's smooth and battery life is amazing (you can tweak each application with more settings than in Nougat). Right now I'll stay on stock but I know I have custom ROM if I get tired of it which is also rly nice

I thought I would get the official updates so I never got the free unlock bootloader code. This sucks since I paid cash for this at Best Buy

I'm on Oreo B560 for the L14. Can I relock the bootloader using fastboot so that I can use Google pay or will this brick my phone? I don't really use root apps. Other than that Oreo works great.

Go back to stable release after beta 14

How can i revert back to the normal update release ?
I'm now on open beta 14 and when I'm downloading the latest stable ROM from OnePlus site and try to do a local upgrade it tells me that upgrade can't be done because my current rom is higher than the the selected rom !!
Is there any solution?

There is a roll back zip , check on OnePlus community.
Just Flash through system update. You are going to loose your data.
