I've seen in some websites that EMUI 5.0 has rolled out in Japan on 16th Jan. Hopefully we could get it sooner

Nah, B360 is a Nougat build. Perhaps they decided to release it early?

yes, for honor 8, its nougat..

I'm quite sure it's still a beta actually seeing as the L09C432 never received B360 until just now.

Is this official Firmware updates? I don't get the these updates on the updater app in my phone. If not, can I install this update on unrooted/unlocked device? And after installing this update will I be able to install OTAs from built in EMUI updater app? ?

And you can install it using this app? Even if you are not beta tester?

I just got OTA
Hey everyone I just got the OTA update for EMUI 5.0. I don't want to install it yet until I know I can get TWRP back. Do you guys know if the update will remove TWRP? If the update does remove TWRP can I reinstall it using adb and fastboot? Also does Xposed work on nougat yet? Sorry for all of the questions I'm back on android after two years on Windows 10 Mobile and I'm a little out of the loop for a lot of this stuff. Thanks.

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?

"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.

So i updated mit HiCare App to the version: 5.0.1.303 and changed my region to Europe/Country: Belgium
After this fix i recieved the update. It works fine.

Should I update to B381 from B360?

So, I have been waiting for the next update for a long time now and well today I finally got it... But I have seen that a ton of people have issues with it, so should I update to B381 from B360 or not?
I have B381 from OTA two weeks but i have a big problem with battery drain. I made factory reset today and see how it goes.
I received B381 via ota today and everything is ok. Phone is a little smoother to use and has a bit more free ram. Everything works normal. Hope I helped you

Try by going on system update -> click on the 3 dots in upper right corner -> force update by clicking on "download latest update".
Be aware that if the phone is new, there could be 2 days of wait before it gets registered on the network. Did you have your sim card inside of it?

I mean if you rebranded to 432 from some other model, was it 432 when you bought it?
You can always update through this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
It requires you to unlock bootloader, it gets locked when it's updated.
