Hi All,
I would like just a little help on how to update correctly a rooted Honor 8 on MM 6.0 to Nougat 7.0 ?
Meaning from firmware B131 to B360 ?
OTA doesn't work, even when i disabled ROOT. I also tried bootloader to force update but it fails during the process.
Any idea what to do next? Do I need to relock the bootloader and remove TWRP before proceeding?
Thanks very much!
Unroot, flash stock recovery for the emui version you have
I guess this would also include a full wipe? Or is it possible to just update without wipe and still get a good result?

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.
Thanks a lot!
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?

Hi guys, can someone help me out? I've relocked Phone and FRP unlocked. After factory reset, I still couldn't get OTA update on my phone. The security patch is 1st December 2016. I actually downgraded from custom rom to stock OS via Dload method. Now I couldn't get official OTA update.
I suggest to you to make a rollback for locked (not just relocked) device following my GUIDE and then make all the otas updates. If you can't recevie B399 you can follow my guide HERE.

So I tried your guide. With both FRP and Bootloader Unlocked from B386. First I flashed rollback package (Honor 8_Rollback Package_FRD-L09_from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1_C900B300_UK) then follow with firmware (Honor 8_Rollback Package_FRD-L09_from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1_C900B300_UK). Still didn't lock my back my phone to factory and still couldn't get OTA update. Anything I did wrong or missed out? I'm currently on B300.
Update 1: Next I'll try your second guide to force update on my device
Update 2: Successfully locked back my phone, currently on 1st December 2017 Security update, EMUI 5.0.1. However, I failed to install update2.zip update file though. Will that be a problem? I even wiped cache and low level factory reset my phone(from setting which I only managed to do so after I force reset from recovery beforehand).

Hey here I will share OTA for our NB1 to flash with stock recovery and sdcard method.
If I'm right it will work.
Pls try and report.
Download zip file,
Copy to external sdcard
Reboot to recovery,
Choose update from SD and press power button.
I will start with June security patch.

Will work with sideload too, right?
hi
2WildFirE will this update patch can use and support for Nokia 8 TA-1004 Dual sim, i'm from malaysia region...
Unluckily it errors when installing on an unlocked phone....I unrooted it fully, rebooted to recovery and it errors always. Should I relock the bootloader to install OTAs?
No, you do not need to block the boot loader. You need to flash the previous full update 4.88B. And then upgrade to OTA.
I am already on 4.88B (rooted with magisk). No modification has been made on /system partition. I uninstalled magisk and rebooted: in theory that should be enough but in practice it does not work....

It won't if this is block-based OTA as Magisk modifies boot partition (with Android kernel and in A/B case recovery too). Quote from Android official documentation: "block OTA handles the entire partition as one file and computes a single binary patch".
Sure, but I uninstalled magisk thus restoring original boot partition before trying to apply OTA...

does this firmware are support for Nokia 8 TA-1004 dual sim...??
End of the story: I reflashed the full 4.88B OTA update and immediately after the new june patch: it always gives an error. Tried to install the june patch by OTA, and it errors in the same way. I have the doubt that the new patch is allowed to check the bootloader and if it founds it unlocked, an error arises. Anyone confirming that?

Ok, I assume that noone had problems in updating to the june security patches with an unlocked bootloader, so there must be a problem with my device......
Ok I managed to update to june security patches with this file......Had to reflash both slots (A/B) with the full june camera update (4.88B), then I updated through recovery and it worked. Glad to tell that the system is fully tested and working.
No news about July security patch?

have you tried switching slots? it sure wont solve the issue stated but it may restore the usability of your expensive brick :laugh:
Code:
If you are currently on slot A, type this: fastboot --set-active=_b
Or on slot B type this: fastboot --set-active=_a
No Switch with locked bootloader ?
Nothing work on fastboot with locked bootloader....
issue solved using OST LA 6.0.4
