Honor 8 EMUI SETUP LOOP - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I bought a honor 8 a day ago . I updated to nougat using FIRMWARE FINDER.Unfortunately it was a test build.NRD...something like that was the build number.I did a factory reset to solve some problem.The factory rest was incomplete.I mean i got a error symbol
at 20%.I rebooted and found that there is no keyboard to type my mail address.I managed and setted up the fingerprint and again the emui startup came.
In simple word :
After an unsuccesful Factory reset phone is lopping on emui setup.Help needed

Use dload method and flash first rollback package and second a full marshmallow firmware.

yep use the above post steps,if you want links reply me

A roll back will be better

Please be careful next time not to flash test keys firmware.

Does that mean people are flashing test keys firmware? There one such ? Omg i never knew this

Yeah well , thats the issue . Flashing firmware from twrp is the culprit . As we dont know if twrp is flashing full zip or not and by the way we need to flash 3 upate.zip's for installation of a full update.

Yeah i noticed 3 zips in emui 5. Mm updates just have two zips.

Rommco05 said:
Thats wrong my friend
M - just one zip (always)
N B360 - two zips
N B3xx - three and sometimes more

Oh , from marshmallow days in my 5x , i noticed that changes with two zips. Well thanks for correcting in the case of 8

Maybe this is just the case for Kirin devices. 5X is Snapdragon.

L19C432 forced update to B182 (updated 2016-10-22)

I thought you will be interested. I was stuck with B161. Took a risk. I have downloaded FULL L09C432B180 firmware from Huawei servers and revoked update with dialer.
The result - successful update, no data lost, no factory reset, the same dual sim L19C432B180 with all latest stuff on it
Seems it just has to be the same C432 as my device still L19, even it took update from L09 this time.
PS. I am sure OTA B180 file will break your device, Full only!
Update: to B182 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69250625&postcount=22 Tested, working fine.
Link for C185: to B180 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69386442&postcount=36
I confirm its working just fine on L19 432 model. Thanks a lot for sharing your finding.
Can you please share the link to the right file?
thx

Important - C432 only, better do not try this on other C's, it won't work.

I just tried few hours ago (from EVA-L19 C432B166 to EVA-L19 C432 B180 using full ROM EVA-L09 C432B180).
All works fine.
Could you please point me or write down some how to the right steps to try it, ?? One question, I don't have my phone rooted or bootloader unlocked, do I need something about that?? If not, after the update, will be everything the same?? Same stock bootloader, recovery, no root, etc. ??
Nevermind, already found the answer ??.. thx!!

In very short steps:
Download a Full firmware, extract zip.
Create a folder named dload in SD card.
Put update.app file into it.
Dial *#*#2846579#*#*
Choose option 4 - Software upgrade

Sorry to disappoint you, but it is your error. The file I posted is for C432 only, so you can't use it on your C185. C number match is a must, only L09 or L19 has no difference when updating from Full firmware file.
I have checked Huawei servers, there is no newer firmware for C185 than B170. It is the latest, both OTA and FULL.

It works fine updating from EVA-L19C432B166 ! Thanks you !
Well.. since yesterday, I meet a good few of bugs. I hope it's temporary. I'll do an edit in a few days to confirm, or not, my feelings.
EDIT : Okay, so it's not exclusive for the B180, forget this.

Let us know. Because I have not noticed anything wrong at all. Maybe it is inside the firmware, as it is an official one, and will be fixed in a future.

Hi all !
I have an eva-l19 and I was on B166 received by ota, but downgraded to B161, because of that annoying message telling me what to do with current call when receiving other call (call waiting feature activated). Could someone tell me if that "feature" apears in version B180 ?
Thanks !

If you dont want wait and if is already for your model released Nougat, use Firmware Finder thats same how OTA and you still be able to receiving another OTAs

Well, I really don't want to take the risk of updating with a third party application, It can run the risk of errors or packages not completely installed.
7.0 should've been on every Honor 6x Device by the end of May, unfortunately that's not true it seems
Rommco05 said:
??? My girlfriend have Honor 6X for 2 weeks. I setup her phone and after first boot dont shows any OTA updates. No problem via Firmware Finder I install Nougat without any problems, this is fact!!
