Should I update to B381 from B360? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

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

Hi all,
reflash frimware, if is your model FRD-L09C432, flash B381 then lock bootloader and instal OTA/Hisuite. Or, make rollback to B131 and make clean instalation B131...B360,B381,389...
When u install B389, u had unlocked bootloader?
Click to expand...

Yes and no. I tested it with and without. Also rollback. But always from b381 i got a bootloop. The lastest version that is ok is b380.

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.

If you have flash rollback package bln l24 you should flash update for bln l24 mm and finally reflash bln l21 mm and it's gone

Honor 8 camera not working.

Hi guys, I have a question, with honor 8 I released the bootloader and twrp flash to put the rros, but after returning to emui I first put the original recovery and then I blocked the bootloader, after doing everything, I open it Camera and continues to close and open until you leave a black screen, do you have any idea what it may be? solutions?
Sorry for my english I used google translator.

give a try by extracting update.app and flashing stock firmware images in fastboot.It will mostly solve the problems.
Or if TWRP installed just make a clean flash with stock ROM.

Sorry but through hisuite I do not notice any updates, even the phone, If I understand I should go from b360 to b380 then b381 and later I can install the b389 which is what i would like to install, getting to the point i can not even install The b380 through FF. Sorry if it is off topic.
