Official Nougat firmware for Honor 8 (FRD-L04; USA) - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Does anybody know when the official Nougat firmware will be available for the Honor 8 US Model (FRD-L04)?
I received the Nougat update via OTA back in February but downgraded to Marshmallow due to battery drain issues. I haven't received the update via OTA again, so I'm looking for official Nougat firmware to try it manually.

I had the same problem just wipe cache in recovery and wipe data of the system update app.

It is available, I have the B385 OTA update on my FRD-L04. Maybe check on your PC with HiSuite if the update can't be found from your device.

You can try Firmware finder to have the latest firmware.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs

I received OTA Update of B385 on my L04 couple of months back in Karachi, Pakistan

I have downgraded multiple times to Marshmallow and have always reviewed the OTA update.
Incase you're not recieving it, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP. Then use Firmware Finder to download the firmware shown in the screenshot below. Flash all the downloaded files using TWRP. You will be updated to nougat without wiping anything.
(In future, remember that all firmwares that end with PV can be flashed using TWRP)

Thanks for the suggestion on using FirmwareFinder.
I tried different packages from FirmwareFinder but the installation stops at around 5-6% and throws an error saying it's not compatible, even though I seem to have selected a FRD-L04 compatible Nougat package. So I gave up on that.
I'm a bit surprised to read comments that OTA update has been pushed even after downgrading to MarshMallow several times. I downgraded sometime around March and haven't received OTA update not even once (in the US).

Are you using Firmware Finder proxy / DNS method to install update or simply using dload?

I used "dload" method.

Ah dload won't work to install the Nougat update.
As I said, unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP recovery. Then install those zip files from TWRP as you would install a custom ROM. However, instead of installing B360, you can install B385 update to be on the latest version. Use Firmware Finder to download the update but ensure that the update is FullOTA-MF-PV as shown in the screenshot attached.
Or if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, then no problem. When you hit the firmware in Firmware Finder, along with Download there are other options too. Select 'Get an update through DNS' and follow the instructions.

You won't get any Nougat upgrade notification until you update your device up to B162 which is the last MM version for your FRD-L04C567.
If your device is stock and locked you just need to push the B162 FullOTA (version 66280) using Firmware Finder proxy installation method. Then you should get the B360 update notification. But if for some weird reason the notification doesn't come up automatically, then go ahead and push the B360 FullOTA (version 72309) using the same FF proxy method. For B385 (version 83098) it will be the same procedure.
I've done it myself before and it works.

This is the method that finally worked for me!
I updated to B162 via Firmware Finder and then I got the B360 update automatically.

I think it is not a beta, I just factory reset my phone and run update and it shows that the OTA update B381 which has a size of 525 MB. I was able to update mine also without any issues.

C432B383 update

For all those who noticed B383 in firmware updater if you flash the two separate files it is indeed a worthwhile update unzip entire contents to SD card and rename them to DLOAD, starting with the update.zip first (and in both cases making sure you the top folder you call DLOAD is the one with update.app in it). You don't need TWRP or anything, standard DLOAD method will work.
It fixes the Mobile network crash bug (i.e. if you can't currently access Mobile network settings, this will fix it without a hard reset).
Anyone using Google Apps for Work etc, it also fixes the issue with Google Device Policy, which would complain the device was unencrypted even when it wasn't. This is also fixed.
Also fixed is the "OK Google from any screen" issue where using the microphone for anything but a normal voice call caused non-stop prompts that "whatever app is currently recording..."

Unfortunately Huawei is still stuck with 7.0, Nexus devices are already out with 7.1.2, as well as e.g., Sony and HTC have beta 7.1.x versions
I saw the update this morning in Firmware Finder but didn't dare to upgrade yet, since having b378 with TWRP, root, etc
When I download b383 update from firmware finder, it gives me a message that says authentication has failed, what should I do ?
Can I update from Internal memory? Didn't have a problem last time updating to B378

You have to use the DLOAD method. You can't use the system update interface

Not sure about this to be honest.
If you could update to 378 using DLOAD then this is the same so the answer is yes, in that case.
Is it possible to upgrade to b383 from b378, or only from b182?
Does anybody have b383 on Mega or G-drive to download (I have b378 and System Updates does not offer me any update)

I'm not sure if B182 is possible but B378 definitely is, as mentioned above. I'd update to B378 first though just in case

Ok thx, as written above, I do have b378, I was asking just in case.
However, should I reinstall stock Recovery before upgrading (since I have TWRP). Thx
Anyone got this update through HiCare app or something? Or does this method need a few days more ... Thank you!

Yes. Original recovery is needed for update... Also as far as I know you will lose root (if rooted)

Help for update for news roms Oreo

I was in Nougat and always updated my Mate 9 downloading firmware by FF and used the tutorial here script and HWOTA folder,
I installed Oreo using the script but now when trying to install another newer Oreo firmware, it is not possible because TWRP does not install anymore.
I do not want to downgrade. I want to be able to upgrade to the newer Oreo firmware. How do I do it now? Am I stuck on this beta rom forever?

I still haven't got the update process to work, i've had problems with every possibile way:
eRecovery update - during the download process after a while eRecovery automatically reboots the phone, and when i re-enter the recovery and start the update process it resumes from where it left but at the end of the process the validation fails, this does not happen if the size of the update is smaller, like an 300mb ota successfully updated my phone. I assume it has a timer before it stops the update.
DNS update - from system updater it finds the update but fails to download it
Proxy update - not working
Is there a way to download the files and then update?
