Anybody tried to install it? Is it possible that this is the oreo Update we have been waiting for since it ends with B401 instead of the usual B3XX?

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.

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

Hey guys, some italian sites report that's EMUI 5.1 instead 5.0.1. Is that correct? I can't tell anything about because i haven't received the update yet

So I just got a notification for my update. If any developer wants it just let me know and I will send you a link to my Google Drive.
Does it tell you what the update version is. That is very helpful to them. My guess is its J which they have already.

Really? I didn't check or know how. I used the kdz for 10i a couple of weeks ago and I took the 10j update. Rooted from there and have only been flashing 10j roms. That's why i thought it was new. How do i check?

If you click on the notification it should give you more info on it (Haven't actually clicked on one since JB so don't quote me on that lol) or you can pull the update from /cache and upload it to google drive and send me the link so I can look at it. (Dont put the link in the forums cause people tend to flash first, question later why they leap before they look).

@Tilde88 or another will have to look at this. I tried numerous ways to extract this (I'm on Windows and am not familiar with messing with python on it, keep getting Command "bsdiff" is not valid, don't have dual boot on Windows 10 for a Ubuntu OS to do android related things yet, haven't had any motivation for anything these days) but I at least see it checks in the updater script if your system is NRD90M before it proceeds.
I just cant see an update so soon after J. We all know how good LG is at updates as well as source.

You are right, but I also remember with 10j, everyone seemed to get it within a day on TMO.
But you may be right if another one is out.
What size is the zip file?
It's strange why I would see an update on my phone. I am on 10j everything (bootloaded and all) and still got that update.
whats the model after the update
This was the update i took. Also, you can still root just fine.

Strange that the date of the B381 build is 06.03.2017, whereas it only got released yesterday. It's probably not going to be worth the hassle.

There nothing strange about this.
Often the case the dates of data or OS is older then the release dates, so there nothing strange about this statement.

True, but previously the build and release dates were close . According to the build date this soft is only 4 days younger than B380, but it's been published on the server over a month later which the small bump in the version number seems to confirm.
Hi Guys ,
i am using FRD-L19C432
it came with B131 , and i used FF to upgrade to B360 , things were fine .. i thought i would go to B380 , but everytime i download and install it , system stays at B360 , so i rolled back to B131 today ... and i need your help because i feel kinda lost how to proceed.
1- should i go from B131 to B380 ?? or B381 directly ?
2- is there a way to flash the firmware from SD ? everytime i try that it fails at 5 % ( incompatibility issues ) .. i am sure i got the correct firmware.
so every time i want to try something , i have to download using FF , which is not that fast ..
please give me a hint , how to proceed.
3- i am lost in the updates too some are FULL OTA MF , others have another letters like PV .. what are those ?
thanks for your help <3 <3
Just an FYI, I was able to flash L04-B360 from TWRP. YMMV of course, as to whether that works with this update.
B131 - B381 via charles not working here (all looks good until it reboots, then fail to verifying update package)
Hi!
My problem is that I can't download the latest firmware like the FRD-L09C432B394. The latest for my phone is the FRD-L09C432B389.
I tried rollback the phone to Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1, installing C432B131 official firmware
The phone takes me to update to Android 7.0, and then to FRD-L09C432B389. After that, no other updates.
I wiped all the things I could before doing that, and uninstalled roots. I don't know what the problem might be.
Hope you guys could help me, maybe there's an obvious spot that I'm missing.
UPDATE: After 9 days I still didn't get the update. I'm sure now there's a problem, and I can't find it.
UPDATED 2: I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

Have you tried firmware finder?

It happened to me also, Indian Variant, but after few days, I received via phone updater. Tried to push via firmware finder but couldn't install.
just wait for the updates, and reset once and try.

Perfect. Enjoy
Accidentally when i updated from B360 to B365, i immediately got prompted with the update to B367, and due my motivation to go on latest security patch i didn't stored the B367 package on my HDD, so i didn't had the chance to extract from it the stock boot and recovery images for future updates. Now B368 is out and obviously I'm in need of those files; someone have a copy of them to share with me (and other members too)?

I think you can use the recovery and boot.img of B360/B365 etc. if you have mate can try else let me know I will download the file and share.

If only 1+ was cheaper, I'd went for it too! Awesome performances but great community support also... I found better support on my previous device, a Galaxy S4 Mini, than here on Honor. You surely did a nice switch
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...
