heeelp need the lollipop update

Hi every body, before i begin, sorry if my english is bad and also sorry if i'm a total noob.
Well I tried to update my mate 7 to lollipop but there were no official ROM so I tried the beta. I've read that i must be on b137 then update to b308 and finally update to b317 which is more stable. The problem is I'm rooted so the update don't complete it shows me an error message. I think the only solution is to flash the stock rom but I don't know how. Can somebody help me pleeeease :crying:
thanks

Download and extract the B137 rom from here from http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei_firmware_downloads/ascend-mate-7-downloads/ and put the dload folder to your external sdcard and go to the Updater app and choose local update, then flash the B308 and B317 OTA update and factory reset. Better unroot before flashing to avoid issues. Good luck mate

Did you unroot your phone and do you have a MT7-L09? What message was displayed when you got the `failed`message?

Try a data factory reset to get rid of residu files and what rom are you on right now, do you have the stock recovery?

Hi all. I was just wondering if mate 7 gets a lollipop update and EMUI 3.1 will that be worldwide or just for specific countries? I'm in Nz and Huawei Nz tol dme we won't be getting EMUI 3.1 but will get lollipop. if that's the case I wonder how long it'll take to get Marshmallow at all.
Cheers

Lets hope they skip Lollipop all together and focus on Marshmellow now, otherwise we`ll get it by the end of next year
But i must say i don`t miss Lollipop to be honest and the B145 KK build is rock solid in batterylife.

Getting Lollipop took ages I worry Marshmallow will take another 3 years!! What abut EMUI? I'm in NZ and I've been told New Zealand won't be getting 3.1

Can`t imagine 5.1.1 will not contain EMUI 3.1 on all firmwares all over the world.

I've already tried a factory reste and it didn't work. I am on the B137 P03 and I don't think I have another recovery than the stock one because I didn't change anything.
One more thing : after an unsuccessful update when I look to the system infos I found that I have 5.0 in the Android version and EMUI 3.0 not 3.1. But the rom is still B137 :/ I don't understand

new firmware FRD-L09C432B380

Today i have receive update info by ota from server Huawei (420mb)
Optimize battery use.
Root and twrp i can use after flash ?
Thanks

you will have to re-root after the update (for me i had to)
with b380 i have flashed the modified boot.img (b378), flashed twrp 3.1.0.0, and after reboot the phph superuser on playstore . it works well.

Yeah got this update two days ago, My battery lasts longer now love it. I sold my galaxy S7 Edge, I felt it was a let down phone for me. Using my honor 8 full time till I get me a better phone. This will always be my go to phone..

I am hoping I get it for my phone soon.

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.

Can't download latest firmware

Hi!
My problem is that I can't download the latest firmware like the FRD-L09C432B394. The latest for my phone is the FRD-L09C432B389.
I tried rollback the phone to Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1, installing C432B131 official firmware
The phone takes me to update to Android 7.0, and then to FRD-L09C432B389. After that, no other updates.
I wiped all the things I could before doing that, and uninstalled roots. I don't know what the problem might be.
Hope you guys could help me, maybe there's an obvious spot that I'm missing.
UPDATE: After 9 days I still didn't get the update. I'm sure now there's a problem, and I can't find it.
UPDATED 2: I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

Have you tried firmware finder?

Updates roll out in batches, so wait and you'll get it

It happened to me also, Indian Variant, but after few days, I received via phone updater. Tried to push via firmware finder but couldn't install.

just wait for the updates, and reset once and try.

Not for me unluckly. I manage to download the update through the official update option, but when it reaches 100% it says something like the update isn't compatible, and deletes it.

Honor 8 pro upgrading failure :(

Hello,
i performed upgrade of firmware (official) of honor 8 pro (from B183 to B185), but during the update it wrote installation failed. Now i have only blue welcome screen of honor, phone cant be switched off, only restarts.
I tried to plug in the charger and enter recovery mode, tried to download the latest version, but it again failed to load info about update.
I tried to wipout cache. Didnt help
I tried to switch phone with volume +- and power button together to install it, but after 5% it stopedd with fail again.
I tried to connect usb cable and perform instal again, only change the graphics from emui logo to USB logo, but again after 5% it failed.¨
I also downloaded former version (before update, B183) and upload it to sd card, but i am not able to run update from sd card.
Do you have any suggestions what to do?
It seems that i am not only one, with this problem and it is probaby the problem with european version.
Only thing i didnt performed is factory reset, but i dont want to unless is necesary.
Thank you
Jan

Hi
I have same problem
What is going on?
Regards

i have same problem. All day fighting with this. Factory reset doesnt work. I try install b183 with no luck. i think we need stock firmware b185 to use in 3 button way cause b183 says "co compatibility"

It seems that in Czech republic lot of people have same problem, i already have response from EMUI, but it is only recomendation to find local service (WTF) and from official Honor CZ facebook, that they are checking the situation. On phone support, they tell me that i am not the only one, and should visit the service center.
I need solution, how to fix it and not loose data on my phone.

I'am from Poland, we dont have service. I dont have a time to send phone and wait 2-3weeks. I think i few days people from XDA or other sosaity make something to fix it.

Still we don´t have any news regarding the software here in Czech.

The same here in the Netherlands, the update as available yesterday and till now the phone is dead, i tried everything!
If this is a firmware problem , what we should expect, any opinion?
Cause yesterday i realize that some Vmall stores are not available anymore, like here in hollland , so basically there's no support...
What to do ?????

Need wait. Should work if this gonna be official release. For now this is one fu**ing ****.

I've got same problem, the B185 new version was available this morning for me (in france) that failed like everybody here, and I tried factory reset but it failed too.
Huawei sucks, I dont understand why they didn't stop upgrade propagation...

Same in NL
Same problem here. Recovery through hisuite on pc also failing. Luckily I only had the phone for a week and I can return it for a new one. Won't be updating this (yet to arrive) new one any time soon.....

Same here in Germany. I am still on B394 and have the security patch from August. This is awful. The worst thing is to see them every month making a version with the current security patches but dont rolling them out. How hard could it be. Seriously, Honor has to improve this.

What more can i say? Just totally agree with you. Today i've read that Honor 8 Pro has received official beta Oreo in India, and we don't even know if we're in or out. We just know "the device is under testing phase". What the hell, i'm not an exited guy about updates and i know i shouldn't "expect" Oreo because usually Huawei/Honor just give one major update, but i can't give up to marketing needs. I can't believe and i can't give up to the idea that one day they could easily tell us that our device "hasn't passed the compatibility test" because we all know the our H8 can handle oreo on the hardware side. Even lower specs device can, why could our device be "incompatible"? Well, i think that a company has to put users first rather than money. If they made the same thing about H7 i can't trust them anymore and i will look to other companies.
P.s i know hat the CEO told H8 is in list to be updated, then removed this part...but without any official news at today i won't believe it.
P.P.s I know i bought a great device that works well and still better compared to other, in fact i'm not judging the product itself but the market strategy behind Honor products, wich should really be revisioned because you can't produce for example 10 device a year and fully support just few of them and for less time than they deserve.

I tried it by TWRP, i get error 7 on update.zip Someone know why?

I think this is the Spectre patch for this device. How b**tards the people are at Huawei/Honor that they can't release this critical security update for the Honor 8 (FRD-L09C432)!

The update is still Nougat with the Android patch level now at 1st January 2018. Attached is the screenshot from About Phone.

The safest method is to use my Flashing Unapproved Firmwares guide. With it, you not only update the partitions but also the data partition.
