Honor 8 FRD-L04 update to nougat? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I have an honor 8 FRD-L04. I would like up update to nougat. I tried the Charles method and it didn't work. I heard about a dload method. I tried to look for links all over the forum but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know how to update using the dload method?

If I might ask, why did the Charles method not work, what exactly happened?

After I do all the steps and hit execute and write my response, I just never get the update on my phone. The instructions say that I should but I never got it.

I think when you're writing the response, there is already a few symbols there. So what I did was copy the code and when I am going to paste it I hit ctrl+a to select all text, then control+v to paste the copied code. After that I then click execute, it needs to be done quickly.

Great. I get the update now but when I go to disable proxy and come back to update, the update disappears. Do you know how to solve that?

Sorry for the late response, yea when you get the update don't press the back button. What you should do is to pull down the notification, then press and hold onto the wifi toggle, you'll end up directly in the wifi section where you can then change back the proxy. After you do that just press the recent apps button and go back to the updater, then click update.
Don't forget to hit that thanks button

No need for factory reset. Just clear the data in the application manager and turn off check for update in the settings.

You can't use this if you are still in 5.0.1, if you try to do it, you will get security error bootloop

I'm having trouble getting this to work. The drivers seem to be installed fine. Debugging mode is enabled. The tool detects the phone and reboots it, but then instructs me to reboot it into download mode manually. After rebooting to download mode manually and connecting the phone, nothing happens. Any ideas?
I am seeing the same problem. The Firmware Update progress % stays at zero and in about 30 seconds I see the ##. Pull the USB cord and reinsert, hit space bar to continue, see progress % briefly go to 100% then reboots but no root afterwards.

Did you copy the rootedsystem.img in your internal memory?

Yes it is copied to the internal memory root. If I remove it, the symptoms stay the same. So it appears as though the rooting app is not seeing the image file.

Some people can't live without root ... or Wait few days for it
If you want root for v11Z so make a system backup, and ulpoad it

Uninstall TWRP and Root

How do I uninstall TWRP and unroot my Honor 8 so I can update to nougat. I have FRD-L04 EMUI 4.1
When it says your device cannot be trusted on boot, just hold down volume up (not before that warning comes up), then select download and install latest package. Your phone will be relocked and everything will be stock.

No for some reason when you hold it while on the warning screen it will bring up Huawei's E-Recovery instead of TWRP where he can download their firmware and the phone doing everything to restore it. I don't know why it does this, but you can also see it in action too with your phone. I accidentally did it when I installed TWRP at first, held it down and then it brought up E-Recovery instead of TWRP, but holding power and volume up before the warning screen brings up TWRP.
I guess Huawei wanted you to always be able to restore your phone if everything got corrupted.

But one thing that puzzles me is that there are all these complicated threads and methods about relocking and going to stock when it is so simple to use the E-Recovery, do they not know this method?
It erases all user data and apps too?

Use the rollback package from Huawei
There is also a instruction how to rollback.
But you neer a external sd card for it.
Just search for it here in the forum or on the Website it self
Here is a small instruction but first make sure which model you have (frd-09/04....) The second and third post i think
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/totally-screwed-honor-8-t3556678
Download the right rollback stuff like firmware for your model!

I have the same problem. I try using the stock recovery and also stock boot.
img, but in stock recovery an error occurs while checking the update.zip. It always delete the files for the update and after booting the system the update downloaded by the system again. After five tries I don't try it again.
Are there any possibilities to install this update without wiping the whole system?

With all due respect, there hasn't really been a new ROM since December, Huawei won't release the code so we can take their spyware out.

Update B360 on B380 without downgrade to MM.
1. Turn on FF and search for updates.
2. Set the proxy to localhost 8080.
3. In FF select B380 OTA-MF (383MB) and do not download only send to updater.
4. Go to system update tab and select the last full package. The system will find a full package with a long name of over 2GB.
5. Select the next find the last full package. Now the system should show the package about 400MB with the normal version name. Do not download!
6. Go to proxy settings and disable them.
7. Go back to the update tab and start downloading.
Should download, update. You have the B380 version.
After a few minutes after the update, the phone is standing on the start screen for a few minutes, waiting patiently.

Oppo find X2 pro CPH2025

I have a problem with my oppo find X2 pro cph2025 and I installed the beta of Android 11 and I would like to go back to Android 10 and install the official version. I've tried everything and still haven't been able to do it. if someone helps me I would be delighted
Hello, I'm in the same position. I have wiped the phone and tried to rollback but I keep getting an 'installation failed' message. Any attempt to install from download folder gives me a 'failed to extract. File corrupt' If anyone's out there with an idea how to rollback successful then please let us know. Thank you in advance.
Hi guys,
You need to first format data via recovery. This will decrypt your internal storage.
You then need to download this file https://fsopen.coloros.com/3/oppoww...0810_all_EI2gpIrAinVK-roll-findx2-mp9-ex.ozip and place it on the root of your internal storage.
Reboot to recovery and flash. Ignore the fact it says CPH2023. Several people including me have flashed this and got off the Android 11 beta. After you flash, you need to download and flash this https://mega.nz/file/KAcVGY7C#Kld16kGyDUOn1yUD9BYIoKH4IZUrgSUIj7HB5Je-r08 otherwise, you’ll be stuck on the A.31 update until the end of time. Plus the A.31 update is not play store certified - so Netflix etc wont download. The mega link above is for A.41.
So just to reiterate, format data, boot phone, skip the setup process, download the first link, place on root of internal storage, reboot to recovery, flash, skip through the setup process, download the second link and repeat...
Let me know if you need any further help.
Regards,
Speedy!
Thank you very much, could you guide us step by step because I try to install the downloaded file through the recovery mode and it never appears in the installation file. If you could give me your email and get in touch with you for a guide on how to do it, I would really appreciate it. thank you and I hope you help me
Okay so, step by step.
1. Turn off phone
2. Boot to recovery
3. Once in recovery, format data (if you're on the Android 11 Beta)
4. Once formatted, reboot.
5. Download the first link above.
6. Once downloaded, move to the root of your internal storage.
7. Once moved, reboot to recovery.
8. Install from internal storage.
9. Once installed, reboot.
10. Skip through the setup process.
11. Delete the previous software file to save confusion.
12. Download the second link above and move to the root of your internal storage.
13. Power off and boot to recovery.
14. Install from internal storage.
15. Select the file you downloaded secondly.
16. Reboot and go through the setup process as you normally would.
17. Enjoy!

Did you roll back to A.31? I think the A.31 update had no meaningful use and only served a purpose to roll back beta participants to Android 10. I remember updating to A.38 (Vodafone UK) and the option to change region was removed.
Changing region won't be a "thing" anymore in future updates from Oppo.

Hey Speedy, yeah, also updated my phone to L1 so Netflix now works. Cheers mate.
