I'm having an issue with my FRD-L14!
I encountered a problem a couple weeks ago when my phone died of low battery. Once I charged it and turned it back on, all of a suddenly all of my apps were unresponsive. And when I say all of the apps, I mean ALL of the apps. I began receiving notifications of the apps that weren't responding and it was asking me to wait or close app. I tried both and had no outcome. I restarted the phone a few times thinking maybe it was a bad boot.. Nothing. Finally, I did a factory reset and everything began working fine.. Until I decided to turn my phone off again (This was the last time my phone had been turned completely off since the factory reset) and the issue arose again. All of my apps are not responsive. Sometimes I cannot even get into settings. I also do not receive any calls/texts during this time either.
I am NOT rooted and I do not have an unlocked bootloader. Completely stock.
Please Help!
Sounds weird...maybe you can try reflashing the firmware? What version are you using? Nougat or Marahmallow?

Nougat.. Everything I have is stock and updated to the latest firmware.
Okay, in that case i would have made a rollback to marshmallow first, then flashing the full marshmallow firmware (latest avaible on honor site) and finally update again to nougat with OTA.
I think it's the best thing you can do

Oh don't worry . However i forgot to ask, but for me a rollback and a reflash would make it i think. What do you think could be?

That's what I also think. That's why I asked him which version/build number of EMUI 5 he is currently so I can link the correct files if neccessary.

UPDATE!
After a rollback and OTA update back to Nougat using Proxy Firmware Finder, everything is working fine.
The only thing I've noticed is that my build number is "NRD90M test-keys". I'm not sure if this will affect any future OTA updates or not. It was very difficult to find a full update package for the FRD-L14 version. The model number still reflects FRD-L14 though.
Side note: I think the entire cause of the problem was I did the trick from the link below. It worked and I had been using it for a long time. In the comments of that thread, I've noticed others having the issue after reboot as well... Must be a Huawei thing.

Just wondering if anyone in the UK has seen an Oreo update for the mate 9?
This is for my MHA-L09.
Updated mine via Firmware Finder in February.

Looked at Firmware Finder but unsure if this will work with an un-rooted Mate?
Also, the reviews of the App seem rather negative and so I'm wary of doing this and then bricking the phone or running into problems.
Are there any other ways to get the Oreo update?
MHA-L29 (C432) here, fully stock. Got tired of waiting for the Oreo OTA so used Firmware Finder a couple of weeks ago. Running 8.0.0.366 now. Check some YT tutorials and do it, you'll be fine.
I prefer to update system software via OTA other than via any 3rd-party ways.

I got the official oreo 8 update for my mate 9 about 3 weeks ago... Im surprised you didn't receive it yet since I'm in the UK also.

I'm kind of the same way. I use to root, flash, and modify all the time, but as Android has matured over the years,
for what I use a phone for, I just don't screw with it. Shoot, at the end of the day, unless someone calls me,
I never pick it up til the next morning.

Likewise. Just remember sometimes for reasons only known to Huawei your IMEI might never end up getting approved and you'll be stuck running an unpatched outdated firmware version. Firmware Finder uses some DNS/proxying trickery to get around that, it doesn't tamper with your ROM/device in any way.
I got all OTAs before Oreo. By the end of March I had enough with waiting and successfully used FF to jump to 8.0.0.366. I would advise you to do the same if nothing has come through yet even if just for those security patches.
I got my phone through the 3 network. There hasn't been an update since November. I'm getting the impression they've just stopped updating this phone sadly.
I used firmware finder for the first time and found it easy and straightforward. Used the proxy method. I'm now on Oreo with march security update. Phone is quicker and battery life is better.
Was a bit skeptical about firmware finder myself but I'm happy with it after giving it go. Would prefer OTA but it's far too slow.

Did you have to take any actions on the Mate 9 to pickup the update?
Do you have the same model number as myself?

Yep, just the same. I can't have issues and hassle when I update, I just need the phone to work.
I'm also getting impatient for the oreo update!
I'm on 3 and still no sign of it!

Are you on 3 in the UK? I am still waiting for the Oreo update as well - guessing you would recommend going the FF route, then? And does the full March update on FF update the EMUI version to 8 as well? Sorry for all the questions!

EMUI now follows Android's version numbering so yes upgrading to Oreo (8) will bring EMUI to version 8.

Great, thanks very much. I've taken the plunge and successfully upgraded to Oreo/EMUI 8... thanks FF and no thanks to 3!
My other device is out of order right now so I switched back to my old Honor 8.
When I did I received 2 updates.
But still did not get 8.0 is it something you a to do manually?
If the L14 is an American model then you won't get it. It's not out. Otherwise, you'll need to update via hisuite for the official way

Personally I gave up on waiting and flashed the unofficial frimware from FF. I'm more than happy with stock Oreo, it's smooth and battery life is amazing (you can tweak each application with more settings than in Nougat). Right now I'll stay on stock but I know I have custom ROM if I get tired of it which is also rly nice

I thought I would get the official updates so I never got the free unlock bootloader code. This sucks since I paid cash for this at Best Buy
I'm on Oreo B560 for the L14. Can I relock the bootloader using fastboot so that I can use Google pay or will this brick my phone? I don't really use root apps. Other than that Oreo works great.

Yesterday I was planning to post:
I find it still hard to understand all the updates from Oppo.
I had CPH2025VF_11_A.26 with 5 may security
then i went downgrade CPH2025VF_11_A.23 with june patch
Now i miss some features like filming with wide angle and smart power save...
any idea if i can undo the damage?

But I guess here I have my answer. I'm new to oppo and as far is I can see there are more frequent updates so far than when I had samsung.
Just wondering why though, must be a bug inside the module that checks whether there's a newer version or just poor administration on their side?

I was on A.15 since out of box, no OTA received, I have updated manually to CPH2025_11_A.23.
Now again everyone is talking about A.30 but no OTA for me even via VPN.??
Region is UAE. Model CPH2025 global, 5G and volte is working no issue...
Any clue why not receiving OTA at all.
Well this is there response to me.
Ino we are at are own risk installing these builds but not to have a dodgy rollback file that they send to us! So now apparently we all have to send are devices away.

Don't assume you've got a "bugged" version of software. Remember up until today those of us on A.23 couldn't get the update, even by using the VPN method but it didn't mean we had faulty software. Today the update then appeared for us as an OTA as normal.
Perhaps your A.25 version just needs to wait a bit longer and you'll eventually get the update sent to your phone as usual.
