I had received the update to Nougat via OTA on my Honor 8 early February. I, however, had to rollback to Marshmallow within a week or so as I had extremely poor battery life after the update. The rollback package on the Official Honor (US) Website didn't work for me. So I had used firmware package to switch back to Marshmallow. The current model number is FRD-L04 and the build number is FRD-C567B122.
I'm not sure if I'd receive future updates via OTA. I'm wondering if there is any patch introduced after the original update to Nougat & EMUI 5.0 and whether I should try manually upgrading again? My phone isn't rooted; could you provide any steps that would help me try a manual upgrade?
Thanks.
Hi, 10 days ago my sister got her Honor 8 (FRD-AL00) china version, she didn't when she ordered it, Stuck after trying to apply a OTA update...
She going to a Huawei center at Paris and they can't help because is a china version ! So I found a lot of people who got the same problem (with china version or not) and it very not serious from Honor to got this king of critical problem.
So I try the RollBack method to Marshmallow and after 30 attempts it still was not sucessfull, I can't rollBack. So I tried to flash with a chinese ROM and after hours searching I found a Chinese STOCK "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV". I installed it with the SD card and dload directory and YES, the phone is work again yeah !
BUT now when I go to phone informations I got this :
Model number : FRD-L19
Build number : NRD90M test-keys
EMUI Version : 5.0
Android Version : 7.0
How it was possible to my phone become a L19 version (EU) after flashing with a China ROM ? And le build number seem to be a test version while a seem used "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV" ??
- My sister live in France so do exist any way to install an EU Rom to get futur OTA update ?
- How can I found a really lastest Chinese Stock rom ?
- Can I and how to make a reset factory / recovery to get back the original ROM version if it still possible ?
Thx

the Link for downgrade don't work, is it the article who tell to download "Honor 8 Rollback Package For NEM-L22" to make the roll Back ?
If is this, I already try maybe 30 time to rollBack.... when the installation is ending, I reboot to a black screen asking downloading the last firmware.... If the rollBack Work I must be return to a normal OS screen ?
You got a chinese Phone too (FRD-AL00) ?

Same issue with my phone as well, Honor 8 FRD-AL00, this is chinees android and i got this in India, And found no google services in this phone as google is not working in China, So searched for english version of Adroid but same Honor customer care refused to help on this.
I tried manually install play service and play store, but google service like play store, Map, Youtube doesn't work some time.

You can rebrand your honor 8 to indian variant..
I've updated my Mate 9 MHA-L29C185B188 to Oreo 8.0.0.321(185). And in the 'About phone' section it reads EMUI and Android versions as 8.0.0. But the Build number still reads MHA-L29C185B188.
Is this normal?
I've tried to get into twrp but it gives an error message.
I’ve tried to recover using HiSuite ut no luck getting into twrp..
8.0.0.321(185). This is beta version install 8.0.0.360
31.01.2018 is final version
I have downloaded softs from photos, on phone I have the latest pie 9 (with the possibility of returning to the previous version of pie but only one below). Which version of oreo 8 should I write to make the return to 8 work?

you can only flash firmware of the same revision of bootloader as the one youre currently on. For instance, the latest firmware release is A530FXXU9CTA2and the breakdown of the firmware is as such A530F (model number) XX (country code, XX is Europe) U9C (bootloader version) TA2 release date and version. The reason this is important is because the bootloader is where youll get stuck. If you can find an android 8 firmware set withthe same bootloader, youre good to go, but if not, youre stuck.
FWIW, youre stuck with a minimum of android 9 on your device now that you have the 9 bootloader installed. In the past, sammy has released android versions that use the new bootloader with the old version of android, theyve caught that now and id be shocked if you were able to find an Android 8 firmware with the U9C bootloader.
Youre stuck man.
I'm in the United States and need VoLTE to continue using this phone. I'm relatively new at doing this so please try to take that into account.
I've tried DLOAD method for 9.0.1.193 (C636E7R1P8T8) & 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8T8). I got a message both times about the update not compatible with current firmware.
I'm guessing that I need to update to Android 8.0 before trying 9.0 but I'm not sure. I would appreciate specific instructions on how to upgrade this phone if it's possible.
My wife also has a Mate 9 MHA-L29. But it is a C567 and has Android 8.0. I haven't tried to upgrade her phone. But I need VoLTE capability for it too.
