Not able to upgrade to nougat (FRD-L02C675)

I am Currently on HONOR_8_Firmware_FRD-L02_C675B160CUSTC675D001_India.
I have tried to update to HONOR_8_Firmware_FRD-L02_C675B310CUSTC675D001_India, but I keep getting the error "Software Install Failed, Incompatibility with the current version."
What could be the reason for this? The phone was earlier on B130. There was OTA update to B140 and later to B160.
I am not rooted. The phone is Re-locked. I am on Stock recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s. FF method does not work for me.

Still no B380 update on my L09C432 ...

Hi there, so I think that everyone has B380 now... But I haven't got the update yet, so I'm still on B360 so I'm wondering if anybody else have the same problem.

Same

I have the FRD-L14 in the US, and I'm also still on B360

No update here Europe (Slovenia)

No update here in Finland either (on B360). I'm wondering if they might give priority to those still on Marshmallow and provide update for B360 last (just speculation). That would be logical and even quite fair.

same here in Croatia
asked the customer service, they got no clue

Hello,

Firmware Finder doesn't work though, when you get to recovery to update it says it failed to verify package.

L04 doesn't even have B380 on Firmware Finder yet. Our last update was in the beginning of January. It has the December security update. It's now April.
I don't think asking for a monthly security update three times a year is greedy.

Guys.
Before you all rush out and try to install this 380 update.
The battery life on 380 is alot worse than it was on 360.
My phone has never been rooted, never been played about with.
Only had officially released OTA updates.
Yes you will be the January security patch but that's about all.
I wish i had kept mine on the 360 that was stable and better than this 380
John

Agreed the 380 update sux's big time, battery is shocking. I'm almost at the point of giving up on this phone because of the very odd battery performance.

You may have to use the dload method, or flash it via TWRP

Did you get the ~1.4GB OTA released April 2nd or the ~2.2GB one released on the 29th. The 1.4GB version was also released again on the 29th. The update notes in the later release mention fixing the "OK Google"/Google Assistant bug in the camera app and say they improved power consumption. The earlier release notes were just a copy paste of the Nougat/EMUI 5.0 update (B320 or 324 I think? I don't feel like checking). I'm really hoping we get post-380 in all regions with March security updates and bug fixes sometimes soon. B382 is out for L02 (China?) already.

Bump, still no update avalible
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs

I also did the manuall install with the dload method.
But as the battery drain there is no on B381 it is for
me evan better then it was on B360
If someone want to do it also manuall with the dload method just read
the page 4 and page 5 from the links below.. it also has the download link
for the B381
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/firmware-b386-frd-l09-t3600156/page4
If the firmware is not for you and you need to use the FF for it..
Just look at the you tube in the link below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpeZOK7ATB8&t=125s
And after you downlaod the firmware dont update now.. but choose to update later..
Then go ahad with the dload method and install it manually..
It is the same as you would get it OTA but it just forces the update.. nothing more
At least as much I have understand it from the experiance users

I got my update from 360 to 381 three days ago (L19C432 in Finland). So the update is clearly still rolling out.

UK Updates

Hi. I got an Honor 9 through Three in the UK approx 3 months ago. It came unbranded and is currently on C432B100. Has anyone in the UK received any updates since getting their phone via OTA. I have already questioned this through HiCare chat and they have stated that there are some security updates coming soon. I previously had a P9 which never received an update in the 2 years I had it. Live chat also said that the updates are done in batches but i doubt there are that many Honor 9's in the UK to receive updates that warrant it to be put in batches.

Im stuck in the same situation, still on B100 firmware, with, what seems like no hope of any updates, im waiting on official oreo, as from what i have read, huawei already has the correct partitions for project treble, and someone has got oreo treble working on a mate 9, which has the kirin 960, and i think someone else got it booted on an honor 9.
i guess its just a waiting game for now. oreo is in beta, so i expect an official update soon.

Just use the firmware finder app to spoof updates to your device. I used this and am now on B180 working fine.

do the capacative buttons work on B180?

I have no issues with full stock B180.

Thanks. Will give it a go later when I have time.

Ive got firmware finder installed, and can download the latest firmware, i'm assuming i need to then flash the zip with TWRP, only problem ive got is that I don't have a microSD card.
unless you can perform a 'fake' OTA with the firmware finder app?
It also says that the firmware is not approved for installation when I check access

i've found a B180 firmware on ff and used the in app proxy to install but got an unstable network message after 65% which then reset to 0. Am i doing anything wrong?

This is a bug in firmwarefinder, happens to me also sometimes. also you guys dont need a custom recovery, leave everything stock, bootloader locked and frp and the HWFF update can still be done. When unstable network message occurs for me it always helped to stop the HWFF proxy and restart it, then when everything is downloading well i leave the phone alone till 100%. Then update starts in the same way as OTA directly out of settings menu. No need for recovery, sd cards etc. Only make sure that you get the FULL OTA package and proof your imei first. If its not approved the huawei check wont verify the firmware and the installation will fail (without consequences).
approved firmwares are B120, B150 and B180 as far as i have checked myself. For the other ones i think the best is to install the nocheck_recovery

Hello
You can use also Funky Huawei. However, it is not free. But, it works fine.

Do tools like funkyhuawei and dc-unlocker execute more sophisticated code than you can do yourself?

Hi. Just updated to B180 via FF proxy. Had trouble getting it to download via WiFi so used my mobile data and worked perfectly.

I finally got it to work, successfully on b180 now, don't see why b181 etc.. is listed as they are not approved for install

It just lists all of the firmwares that are available for the model. There is a seperate check whether they have been approved for install.

I think the proxy in FF is only to trigger the download. I always shut it down straight after the download starts.

Ok, I think not.
See demo: https://youtu.be/pt5pWPhcsW4
There's a short pause when you shut it down, but it resumes quickly afterwards on your standard connection.
Of course, there is nothing wrong keeping the proxy on during the download.

An update for people on B100 in the UK. I updated the other week to B180 via FF proxy. I received the OTA for B182 just now and everything working fine. So at least it still receives updates. One further mention, I previously had a p9 before my honor 9 and across almost 3 years this is the first update I have ever received. It makes.you wonder how bothered Huawei are about their phone updates.

Thanks, UK on B100 as well, didn't realise there had been so many updates. I've just installed FF, can you tell me which version of B180 you selected? Was it the full version or the update?
Cheers

Choose full if you have the bandwidth and time to be sure.

Thanks, I've started the download of the 3GB update file with the proxy then removed the proxy and it has continued. Downloading over a 4G hotspot so might take a bit of time. Hopefully I'll be updated soon and hopfully Three UK allow VoLTE for this handset.
Cheers

No OTA on stock

So I'm finally ready to say goodbye to my H8 but after relocking the bootloader ,rolling back and dloading B360 for the L09 i am unable to get OTAs.
I thought i could simply flash another version from FF but all that did is allow me to update through HiSuite.
Plus it (HiSuite) always says I'm on a developer version.
Could anyone guide me to a proper L09 stock version that i can dload or anything else that would help?
I think I've had the problem before but I can't remember what I did to fix it other than maybe downgrading to MM.
But dloading the same file after that seems kind of pointless.

I Had That Problem When I Rebranded.
All You Have To Do Is Use " Get An Update Through DNS" In Firmware Finder And Now I Had The Latest Version.
And Then While I Did That I Suddenly Started To Get Updates Without Firmware Finder
Oh And Also How To Get To Stock:

Well the issue is i did both of those and neither allowed me to get official OTAs.
I want to sell the device as long as its worth something so this is rather important for that
But the rollback files i used are quite old so maybe its a wrong version or something.
But I did update through the FF proxy, same thing.no luck
Edit: i did the proxy update so maybe thats the culprit, but isnt it just downloading the same version as the dns one?

Which fw you were trying to install. I do not understand how you can not install eg B380 because it is point version and approved install over dload. What about unlock bootloader and flash fw over twrp?

I can install it but not over official OTA.
Also i saw i asked the same question on your other thread and apparently downgrading to MM fixed it last time.
So sorry,i forget things easy
I will try that

Tried it again with the official Rollback package and MM firmware.
Got the OTA to B360 and now, no OTA again...
Anyone have any suggestions?

Are there any roms out there that work with the mappable fingerprint scanner button?

I'm on an FRD-L04 and honestly I'm sick of waiting for oreo. The only things preventing me from rooting and flashing again are the stability/charging heat issues, and loss of functionality with the fingerprint button.

You can use Open Kirin ROM (RR Beta 3 dont know about others) which provides you option to assign functions to fingerprint button..

Oops.. i dint see that..

The easiest way to get to emui. Download the fullota from firmware finder, and use hurupdater to flash it. I also have an L04 and did it months ago.

When doing so, would you still be getting OTA update when oreo is officially out for frd-l04?

Honestly, don't expect it to be out for us. I haven't heard a single thing since August from my buddy at honor USA. You can still take OTAs by relocking your bootloader or just download the update from ff when it's available and update with hurupdater again. Either way you are going to download the firmware. I personally choose to leave my bootloader unlocked and have root.

damn, you really think frd-l04 isn't gonna receive oreo by OTA ? that would be really a shame and kinna wierd as they push it for almost all other models. Anyway the unofficial oreo frimware from ff, is it stable?

No, it's pretty normal for an OEM to update different regions and not others. It's stable, I ran it for about a week but quickly went to OpenKirin because I hate emui and the way it handles processes. If you're fine with emui then you'll be good to go
