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.

How did you brick your phone? I bricked my phone too when trying to flash B140 I was able to recover it only with DU Phoenix, nothing else worked xD

You could just proxy update to B398 via FF. It's the december security patch but better than nothing

Just extracted the .img for UPDATE.APP then converted using simg2img and booted into recovery to use dd to copy to the right partition following the guide here

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

Flash the 8.1 boot image then do the OTA.

I just sideloaded the current stock ROM, rebooted, then the update installed fine. Flashing just the boot image didn't seem to work as a fix by itself.

is a full wipe necessary? im rooted with ad free youtube.. thats all

Anybody share the OTA package for me, please? I cannot download it via the local network in China.

Anybody notice this new option under development settings?

is there a manual way to sideload this update? my phone doesn't get OTA updates.

Yes, I know. But after you sideloaded it your phone will prompt you the new April update OTA and all the next available update in the future. I've done it before so I know for sure.

Why would I do that? Especially when that's not part of the process that you gave earlier? I think the updates are rolling out based off of carrier or some other such criteria. Not simply if you're on x-release you automatically get an update for y-release...

There's no factory image right now so you can't use the corresponding boot image to flash magisk back, it might work with the May one but I wouldn't count on it. You can also try the A/B magisk feature (flash stock boot.img, apply OTA, install magisk to inactive slot). You will definitely lose TWRP though. This wouldn't be a problem if fastboot boot worked.. I'm sure they'll release the images soon enough.

I'm still @ feb patch lol
can never get the OTA

Can someone post the build number/build version of the update?

OPM1.171019.011-RZR-180803.6033

Was trying to see if I could grab the factory images...doesn't look like it.

[GUIDE] How to install Internal Android 10 build for Nokia 7 Plus

If you want to repost this internal OTA to other websites (other than XDA itself), please ask me for permission, thanks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
WARNING!
This is early internal test build, so LATER OTA UPDATES CAN'T BE GUARANTEED!
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, you'll unable to roll back to stable build!
Please be careful when testing!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now I think it's time to bring you back to canary labs faster than beta labs.
Internal build version: B2N-4040-0-00WW-B01
It will be updated from: B2N-354K-0-00WW-B01, which is not pushed to public
As I've warned before - having an unlocked bootloader is strongly recommended.
So recent builds removed handy 874 dialing codes, we have to install them under recovery or Nokia Extensions.
Non-Chinese speaking users should ignore this quote.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone. To fix microphone bug, please disable the microphone permission of the "Google" app.

Let me tell you how to verify:
1. Dial *#*#227#*#* to check current Version. If older than B2N-354J-0-00WW-B01 (check if the letter is greater than J), update to 354J before proceed.
FYI, 354J is August 2019 Security Update.
Alternately, you can use command "fastboot oem getversions" under fastboot mode / Download mode to check current firmware version.
If newer than 354J (probably 354N when this post released), you'll need to downgrade your phone back to at most 354H - which can't be done easily without unlocked bootloader.
2. Install B2N-354K-0-00WW-B01-354J-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with Nokia Extensions OTA Update module or adb sideload under recovery.
3. Reboot your phone.
4. Install B2N-4040-0-00WW-B01-354K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with Nokia Extensions OTA Update module or adb sideload under recovery.
5. Reboot your phone.
That's it.
If minor fixes released, I will upload them as well, then use the same method to install it.
To root the phone, you may want to use Magisk 20 released today (October 12th, 2019) or newer.

could you please describe how to downgrade from 354M to 354H with unlocked bootloader? i have no idea...

About rollback to stable release
You said "it can't be easily done without unlocked bootloader"
Soz should ai consider the possibility of "it STILL can be done but with much difficulty " ???

For detailed, there's a backdoor left for customer care to allow them flash your phone with locked bootloader, but need to be elevated from server side, which can't be done by average person.

Oh .. thank you for the info.

@hikari_calyx so how's Android 10 so far (build 4040) ?
Major bugs to be aware of ?
Nokia apps are ported already and working properly ?

so we'll never learn anything about this, will we? like we can't flash it (or at least i could not), no feedback if all good or if there are any major issues, nada. maybe i'm impatient

I'm running 4040 build and the only bug I have is the camera doesn't work...

There's ONLY one bug of camera. And no other major bugs. And no daily life functionality is affected unless you do no other work with your phone except taking photos.( No offense ) ?
There might be a possibility that even after this camera bug is resolved, hmd might carry out extended testing and only release 10 at the time they've already mentioned.
Just a possibility.

Wakelocks are also a bit of an issue with regards to battery life...and I also work from my phone daily...not just used for camera, which is why I'm still on this build

october security update Android 9 Mi A2 Lite

So I just received a new security update, I don't think there's anything more than just the latest security package

same here, just 65 MB. couldn't find any new features yet.

Scrolling is definitely smoother.

It seems like booting up takes shorter time to load unlike with the previous update patches.

Well at least i am not alone in this one, hopefully Xiaomi will fix this issue and we can update it normally. Gonna follow this thread.

Especially if you've rooted, you probably have modified system or vendor partitions.
You can see what the OTA doesn't like by looking at adb.
Code:
adb logcat | grep update_engine
There's been no 10.0.14.0 fastboot image but I do have backups of these partitions I made myself. They're huge but I might be able to get them on the internet if needed...
