Honor 8 B360 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello guys.
I have an Honor 8 on C432B360 and i recived a ota update on the phone a newer version b380 , but , i cant install it and i cant update it with dload because there is more than UPDATE.app file inside and i dont want to ruin / crash my phone , also on HiSuite , it doesnt recive any newer update! Can someone help me? Thanks

Hello,
Can you write the full installed firmware's name (FRD-etc.)? And is you phone a rebranded chinese model (FRD-AL00/AL10/DL00)/DL10)?
If you see B380 via OTA, why can't you update it directly (without dload method)? Did you try to download the "Full package" ("3 dots/options" icon on OTA page > "Download latest full package")?

Cant update via OTA Emui installer (Update package failed)

You can use dload method to flash B380 (2 zips/FullOTA package) without issue. I uploaded it on MEGA so here is the download link:
https://mega.nz/#!iUNmUCTA!LEvm8szdERS3DdOEyq9oGDl9Tbxi9gUzVDoaerAthcg
Step 1: Extract this archive. In "B380" folder you will have 2 archives (update.zip & update_data_full_hw_eu.zip)
Step 2: Extract update.zip. Create the dload folder in your memory card, then put all extracted files of update.zip in the dload folder.
Step 3: Turn off your phone.
Step 4: At the same time, press & hold "Vol. up" + "Vol. down" + "power" buttons, which will start the update process automatically.
Step 5: Wait for a few minutes, until it's done.
Step 6: Extract update_data_full_hw_eu.zip file. Remove everything inside dload folder then put all extracted files of update_data_full_hw_eu.zip in the dload folder.
Step 7: Finally, repeat steps 3,4 and 5. After that, you can remove everything inside dload folder again. ^^
I hope it will be okay for your phone! :fingers-crossed:

The file named "Update_data_full_hw_(insert your region here).ZIP" It's a US, EU or Asia specific file you should flash as well. It include soft keyboard and other useful stuff.
Place ALL of its contents in the dload folder when flashing.

Honor 8 bootloop issue!!!! (HELP!!!)

Folks,
I recently bought a Honor 8 and was trying to unlock the bootloder, install twrp and supersu by following the link below
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-t3554789
As stated in the link above, I got to the steps to install supersu. However, on following step 12, it has formatted the data and now the phone is in a bootloop(stuck on the blue screen showing HONOR label)
I'm guessing my phone will not boot up since the OS has been erased. Could someone please help me restore this phone to back to the stock firmware and steps needed to do so. I am new to Honor phones, so not sure what I need to do and steps needed. Would appreciate any help if possible??

Download the rollback and marshmallow firmware package from honors website. Rename the rollback package to "UPDATE.APP" and place it in a folder called "dload" in your micro SD card. Put the micro SD in your phone, and boot into the firmware update screen (volume up + volume down + power all at the same time). Once it's done, delete the old UPDATE.APP file from the dload folder, rename your marshmallow firmware package to "UPDATE.APP", place it in the dload folder on your micro SD card, place the micro SD in your phone, and again flash the firmware using volume up +volume down +power
Since you still have access to the SD Card via USB, you can just download your firmware, extract it and put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on a microSD card and press all 3 buttons when starting up the phone to start installing the OS again.
Appreciate the feedback. I tried going to the below website to pick up the rollback package and the firmware( Android 6.0)
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/search-result/index.html?keywords=Honor%208%20Firmware
My question is that is it possible to just restore it back to android nougat(7.0) in the U.S or has the 7.0 not released for the U.S markets yet?
I found the following link below for the Android 7.0(Nougat) firmware for Honor 8 but not sure if this work on the phones bought in the U.S
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
Appreciate your feedback on this..
Since the phone is in bootloop, I would have to use a different phone and it's SD card slot to download the firmware and then put it on the Honor 8. I'm guessing the rollback process would only apply if I wanted to go back to the Marshmellow firmware. My question though is would I be able to restore it back to Android Nougat(7.0) if possible.
I found the following link below for the Nougat(7.0) firmware. Not sure if this will work on the U.S phones. Is there a different process to restore it back to Nougat?
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
You can try just getting the nougat firmware onto your micro SD, then pressing volume up + volume down + power to see if it works. Worse case scenario is that you'll get an error.
If you do get an error, your can try the rollback procedure. Once you get marshmallow running you can always just update back to nougat with OTA.
Oh yeah, you don't necessarily need another phone. Just get a micro SD card adapter and plug it into your computer, then transfer the files into the dload folder
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------
You can use the following link for marshmallow firmware. Again, you can always update to nougat later using OTA
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/models-stock-firmware-packages-honor-8-t3501942
thanks for the info..just another clarification. The nougat firmware I found online was a zip file that included 3 files(attached snapshot) . I noticed one of the files is the UPDATE.APP.
My question is on creating the new dload folder do I need to remove the other two files or just copy all of 3 files in the dload folder before I try to restore the phone back.. Sorry if it's a straight-forward question, but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.
Much thanks...
Just the UPDATE.APP
What are the other 2 files? Just curious
there is a folder called : META-INF which has some files in it and also a file called: full_mainpkg.tag which is only a 1KB file so maybe that's inconsequential.
Did you try out the procedure yet? The META-INF folder should not be necessary. You can always try the method with and without the folder included if you really need to.
I did...it did do the update following the steps you mentioned and it seems everything went fine as far as the update is concerned. I didn't get any errors, but once the phone rebooted it is still stuck on the blue screen with the Honor logo on it
Have you tried the rollback procedure as well?
---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------
If neither procedure worked, you can try another procedure which involves extracting SYSTEM.IMG, BOOT.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG, and CUST.IMG from the UPDATE.APP file, then flashing all of them through fastboot, and finally preforming the rollback procedure again.
was finally able to get the phone to reboot and load the firmware. It does seem that there is some issue with the keyboard now as it's only showing OK google as the keyboard so I don't have a keyboard anymore. Not sure how to go around this. Also the phone seems a little laggy and unresponsive at times which wasn't happening earlier. I'm thinking of trying the rollback method to see if that helps or improves the performance of the phone. Let me know of you have any suggestions. Thanks again for your help...
That's a known issue with the keyboard. For some reason it does not function correctly after a factory reset. The rollback should fix everything. Once you are back on marshmallow, just update back to nougat (if you want to) through OTA system update.
Edit: it might actually be easier to just perform a factory reset on the nougat firmware. I'm assuming your data was wiped through the procedure anyway, right?
I can do the rollback but I just realized that I have the 64GB version which is the FRD-L14
http://www.phonemore.com/huawei-honor-8/models/629
I'm not sure if there is a FRD-L14(64GB) variant of the MM firmware available anywhere. If so, I'm not aware of the link of the site to find it. Secondly, if I do install the FRD-L04(32GB) variant of the MM firmware would that create problems for the phone in upgrading and later trying to root and install custom ROM etc.
Much Thanks
The nougat firmware your flashed earlier, was it the L14 firmware? I would not flash a L04 firmware on a L14. Instead, you can probably flash the L14 nougat firmware (unless you already did) and then perform a factory reset
EDIT: Refer to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/frd-l14-users-how-to-restore-downgrade-t3537433
The OP uploaded the correct L14 firmware files. Remember to first flash the rollback package, then the firmware.
the firmware I flashed earlier was the L14 firmware. I went to the link you mentioned above in your post. It's a little confusing as far as the exact steps that need to be followed as people seem to be adding/modifying steps. Would help if I could get a clear step process on how/what to follow.
Also, is it okay to flash the rollback package and then flash the nougat firmware package for L14 if I am currently on nougat(not fully functioning as mentioned in the posts above).
This link below from your reference thread has a few L14 firmware's. I had earlier picked up the first one from the list. Not sure if that's the correct one to flash..
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
Thanks again...
The rollback package is only used if you're downgrading from nougat to marshmallow. Otherwise, you don't need it. Since you were having some issues after flashing the nougat firmware, I would recommend that you rollback, and then update to nougat afterwards. Here's a step by step:
1. Get an micro SD card. Create a folder on it called "dload"
2. Download the F14 rollback package from the following link:
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92098&version=360320&siteCode=us-h
Extract the UPDATE.APP file, and place it into your dload folder. Pace the micro sd into your phone
3. With the phone shut off, press volume up + volume down + power to flash the UPDATE.APP. Once it's done, shut down your phone and remove the sd card
4. Download the F14 Marshmallow firmware from the following link:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1201/g88/v66294/f1/full/update.zip
Extract the UPDATE.APP, and replace the old UPDATE.APP in the dload folder with the new one you just downloaded.
5. Place the micro sd into your phone. Repeat the button combination to flash it. Once it's done, shut down your phone.
6. Press volume up + power to boot into system recovery. Wipe the phone's data from this screen.
7. Boot into the phone. Go to settings -> About
Check to see if the model# etc is correct. If it is not, complete step 8. Otherwise go to step 9:
8. Download the following file:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...94/f1/full/hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip
Extract the UPDATE.APP, place it in the dload folder, and flash it.
9. Boot into the phone. If you want to update to nougat, do the following:
Go to your dialer, and type *#*#2432546#*#*
This will force your phone to check for updates.
Then go to Settings -> Updater to update to nougat
I did follow your steps, but my keyboard has now vanished when the set up screen appears. It only shows google voice and I'm having trouble setting up my phone. Has anyone had the same problem. What can I do to get my keyboard back?
Note: my phone is unrooted. Not sure if that makes a difference

[GUIDE][NOUGAT]How to go back from Custom Rom to EMUI

Here's a guide for how to go back from a Custom Rom (fe. RROS) back to EMUI. I went through the same process successfully.
IMPORTANT: This is ONLY for Nougat!! You can neither rollback from Project Treble Rom using this guide nor from any other Oreo Rom in the future.
1. Download the file for your device from the following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892 and unpack the rar file.
2. You'll get a dload folder. Copy the entire folder to the root of your SD card.
3. Power off your phone and boot it into dload (Volume down + Volume up + Power)
4. After it finished installing this first file, interrupt the startup and boot into recovery (hold Volume up + Power until it forcibly reboots).
5. Do a factory reset and wipe cache.
6. Remove the SD card from the phone and do the following steps on your PC (you can let the phone sit in Recovery while doing that):
6a. Go into /dload/ folder of the SD card and remove update.app.
6b. Go into the other folder in /dload/ and move its .app file into /dload/
6c. Rename this .app file into update.app
6d. Eject the SD card from your PC and insert it in your phone again.
7. Hold Volume down and Volume up while tapping Reboot.
8. It should start the second installation in dload mode, let it install, reboot and you're done

You should be able to get the files of any firmware. Probably you're even able to go back from an Oreo custom rom to EMUI 8 but I haven't tested that. However I don't recommend installing firmware files from a different Android version than the one of your current custom rom.
Edit: First file to install is the firmware, second is vendor (Nougat).
Doing it on Oreo, second step might not be necessary since it's Project Treble.
Also, as I said, I'm NOT sure if this works exactly in that way on Oreo.

One more question: the oldest version I can get using this firmware finder app is B160. In the thread you linked, B130 was mentioned. Does it make any difference when im on RROS 5.8.5 currently and want to go back?
Edit: I was searching firmwares for STF-L09S and not STF-L09 but I still wonder if it makes any difference which version I use for the dload method as long as its Nougat

It most likely won't make a difference which Nougat version you install. The only thing is that there are several versions where capacitive buttons and flashlight breaks when unlocking the bootloader or/and rooting it. Same with Oreo firmwares but for Oreo there is a fix.
And about the S version, I'm sorry I don't know the difference myself. :/ I actually just made this guide because I wanted to help others with my way of going back to Stock as I didn't find any guides specifically on that when I did it myself.

HwOTA for Huawei Mate10 Lite

HwOTA 7+8 for Huawei Mate 10 Lite​1. On the phone, make a backup of all data (since during the upgrade all data will be erased). This is an obligatory condition.
2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"

2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"
HwOTA.zip

For Oreo beta?
No to RNE-L21C432B135 Nougat
I haven't tested it for oreo beta I'm back to MORFUZ V 1.0
Great looking, it works perfectly, I tried to install oreo but it does not work, it always returns to 7.0 and 5.1. At least I managed to redirect the cell. But for the oreo version I think I have to wait because I've tried many but no one works.
I used this on top of the MidgarD ROM I had, now I have a normal 4.5G AND a working face unlock. On Stock ROM, I didn't have the option for the face unlock, and when I installed Elemental ROM and later MidgarD ROM, it didn't work on both of those. This is interesting, isn't it?
I also didn't immediately lose my installed apps, by which I mean until I unlocked the bootloader again.
Bad news: Despite installing Magisk and enabling Magisk Hide after this, I fail the Safety Net check
Thanks man its working fine, my Mate 10 Lite was soft bricked or wont get proper hardware and face unlock, now it works
in start it was problematic for me, wifi would not turn on, phone will periodically show storage full (there was no SD Card in it)
then I restarted 2/3 times, and poof.
Now not only phone is back but it has oreo
Hi!
I tried this, downloaded the rne-l21c432b135 FullOTA from Firmware Finder and followed the instructions.
However, when it boots after finishing then my phone has turned into NEO-L21 and I am not able to get back to RNE-L21 without replacing the software with an older backup. It says also the unit is rooted (Huawei ID says so when I should enter my fingerprint) even though I have formatted the unit.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Sorry, I had used the wrong file (there is one for the RNE-L01 and one for the RNE-L21) and that made all the difference, I am not back to stock!
Thank you so much for the help!
Hi,
Works for RNE-L01C432B135 perfect. I updated without any problem.
But because I don't want to stay with locked bootloader, I made all rooting procedure from the beginning.
That was easy too, because I have backups of every single details (important datas from internal storage, messages, programs and of course /data/hw_init folder, SuperSU-decyrpt)
Thanks again

And switch places of step 2 and 3

He refused to support the lite model. I re-wrote his script and improved it. I will not add it. He need to be more flexible.

Good job then
Where can I find HwOTA for Huawei Honor View10?
HI Guys
my current firmware is RNE-L21C185B110 but i can't find any FULL OTA firmware but only OTA MF (RNE-L21C185B142CUSTC185D001 this is the last available update).
My bootloader is unlocked, unrooted and without TRWP
How can I do to update to last firmware with HwOTA?
ok
To install the update of the B142 you do not necessarily have to use the HWOTA, you simply have to copy the DLOAD folder from the extracted RAR file to your SD, if your SD says that the file is very large ... format the SD to another type of Format..
Formatting a unit SD in exFAT
1. Double-click on Equipment.
2. Right-click on the flash drive or memory card, then select Format.
3. In the File System list, click exFAT.
4. Click on Start.
5. Click OK to begin the format.
After saving the DLOAD folder to the SD.
- Turn off your smartphone
- Now press the volume button up + Volume down + Power button at the same time, so that the update process starts automatically.
- This procedure takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete
- Automatically it will restart ... and you will have installed the update.

Okay... you have a "Rollback package" (C900 = free region). So now, you need to flash a complete firmware. It's easy with "dload" folder method.
Honor Chinese website doesn't give any firmware for Honor 8 now... I found B135 (Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.1 but you can do OTA updates, so it's good ) which will flash correctly on your phone and here is a link: https://mega.nz/#!ZgU22BYa!FP8UYXghy0dXxOYFeSf4BKdlF5_8AbVMKQ0ONkV5VpQ (It's for AL10 AND AL00 too, no worry!)
Steps for "dload" folder method:
0. Backup your phone! Factory Reset (Wipe internal storage only) can be made after update or needed if you have freezes/crashes/bootloop
1. Unzip firmware and copy dload folder to the phone (check if you have "dload/update.app" file - in SD card it's always working, but you can try internal storage too)
2. Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
3. After long update, phone boot can be very slow (2-5 minutes) so wait patiently!
4. If successfully booted, check now if you have OTA updates. (you can delete the "dload" folder if all is okay then )

I don't know why it will can not work. It could be not pre-installed but you can install (and use) "Google services" APKs easily. (Don't forget to allow "Storage" permission / give full permissions)
Total size of the firmware given above is 5.29 GB (!!!) and you need to use "7-zip" to extract .tar.gz archive inside "Soft..." or "...Soft" folder. Extract archive again until you have "dload" folder which have "UPDATE.APP" file and 5 directories.
If I knew your phone model (AL00 or AL10?), I can try to give you the last firmware allowed to install on your phone (the "FullOTA" one - complete package firmware).

EDIT: Check your vendor info, type this phone number: *#*#2846579#*#* then go to "Network Information Query" > "Vendor Country Info". If you see "Vendor: all" and "Country: cn" = OK you can follow:
EDIT 2: If you see "allwyf" in vendor info, tell me and I will give you the good zip files!
Try to flash FRD-AL10C00B396 - "all-cn" vendor - January 2018 security patches included, via dload method. But there is 3 files to flash (in order!):
0) Backup your phone! Factory Reset (Wipe internal storage only) can be made after update or needed if you have freezes/crashes/bootloop.
/!\ It's better to use a SD Card, don't know if it works if you send files into Internal Storage! /!\
First flash: update.zip
1) Unzip archive, create "dload" folder inside root of SD Card memory if not present -or- delete "dload" content if exists, then transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory.
2) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
3) First Boot can take some minutes, wait patiently...
Second flash: update_full_FRD-AL10_all_cn.zip
4) Unzip archive and transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory. (click "Yes" for erasing previous file)
5) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
6) And... Boot again... ^^
Third flash: update_data_full_public.zip
7) Unzip archive and transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory. (click "Yes" for erasing previous file)
8) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
9) All files were flashed! OTA update will not give you updates because it's the latest OTA update (currently)...
10) If any issue, Factory Reset can help.
