If you're rooted, this implies your bootloader is already unlocked. Try the flashing unapproved firmware guide in Honor 8 Guides section (written by me) and you'll be rocking b401 in no time

I just received an OTA update on AT&T G2 to version D80020y. Thing is earlier I had a root but some how the update went through with the installation without a hassle. I can't remember where I downloaded the root from. Could you guys suggest a good rooting process which will allow me to install OTA updates in the future also.
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have root? Any thing different you noticed after the OTA?

Having root and allowing OTA updates is a recipe for disaster. You're better off waiting for someone to post an update here in the forums that works with root or be certain that the update doesn't break root.

This thing doesn't get updated on the forums, that's the problem. I've asked for the 20u stock system folder from someone rooted on that version and no one has responded. The last version we have here is 20k stock rooted. I'm still waiting. Now I'd like to get my hands on an unmodified stock 20y I'll have to wait forever to NOT get.
Hello Folks
This morning I noticed, Tmobile pushed a 60mb update to my phone. I am rooted and unlocked but not on a custom rom.
Please advice what I need to do.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Is there any issuse with the update
I have not updated. As I mentioned I am rooted and unlocked. Not sure what to do hence posted my question in the forum.
I do not want to lock the bootloader. Just curious to see what others who might have got this update are doing about it.
Regards

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's
I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

Ok, you can go here and update to the latest version v10j using @GameTheory. V10j Full update/pre-rooted/untouch TWRP.

dummy you can't update that way you must remove all traces of root which the app can't do use the KDZ
If you are rooted and it says system update DO NOT INSTALL IT... it will brick your phone

Hi there
I am NXT-L29C636B193.
I have rooted or unlocked bootloader.
I have grown impatient with waiting now... I'm almost convinced Huawei won't update my device... It is still on June Patch...
I am in the UK, maybe why there has been no update...
How can I use Firmware Finder or other software to safely upgrade to Nougat without rooting? As I want to be able to use Android Pay in the future...
Firmware finder has been updated so it isn't as clear as before... Some of the updates displayed now say Full OTA but they used to say just OTA...?
Please help!
All advice is appreciated :laugh:
Some of the updates shown on Firmware Finder has changed...
Notice the two screenshot, some used to say OTA but have changed to say Full OTA?
I'm rooted L14 on android 7.0
No.

So, it'd be full stock? Like how it came from factory right?

What would be the best way to update it to nougat?
You can use Firmware Finder to update to Nougat. B131 to B360/380 without any problem.

Yes, it will get back to stock and it will even have a locked bootloader if you had unlocked it.
To update to Nougat, you should have the official OTA update (B360).
If you are already on any nougat
Do not waste time to roll back to MM
Just use the manual method to download the latest nougat B381
And put it on your microSD card and do the update as described
Maybe to read this one will help you just to update the easy way

So I'm finally ready to say goodbye to my H8 but after relocking the bootloader ,rolling back and dloading B360 for the L09 i am unable to get OTAs.
I thought i could simply flash another version from FF but all that did is allow me to update through HiSuite.
Plus it (HiSuite) always says I'm on a developer version.
Could anyone guide me to a proper L09 stock version that i can dload or anything else that would help?
I think I've had the problem before but I can't remember what I did to fix it other than maybe downgrading to MM.
But dloading the same file after that seems kind of pointless.

I Had That Problem When I Rebranded.
All You Have To Do Is Use " Get An Update Through DNS" In Firmware Finder And Now I Had The Latest Version.
And Then While I Did That I Suddenly Started To Get Updates Without Firmware Finder
Oh And Also How To Get To Stock:

Well the issue is i did both of those and neither allowed me to get official OTAs.
I want to sell the device as long as its worth something so this is rather important for that
But the rollback files i used are quite old so maybe its a wrong version or something.
But I did update through the FF proxy, same thing.no luck
Edit: i did the proxy update so maybe thats the culprit, but isnt it just downloading the same version as the dns one?

Which fw you were trying to install. I do not understand how you can not install eg B380 because it is point version and approved install over dload. What about unlock bootloader and flash fw over twrp?

I can install it but not over official OTA.
Also i saw i asked the same question on your other thread and apparently downgrading to MM fixed it last time.
So sorry,i forget things easy
I will try that
Tried it again with the official Rollback package and MM firmware.
Got the OTA to B360 and now, no OTA again...
Anyone have any suggestions?
