How to update FRDL09 Honor 8 to Oreo 8.0.0.521 FRD-L09C432B521 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi I just saw the update 8.0.0.521 FRD-L09C432B521 is available in Firmware finder android app
I tried to use the method, I used before to update my rooted phone, flashing stock recovery first, but it s not working :
-Classic OTA (no firmware finder ) cant find it
-firmware finder proxy method, I got a "checksum control error at the beginning of the 1.16GO OTA download
I actually have B406 installed
I check the 3 "FullOta-MF-PV" available in firmware finder, but there are "not approved for installation"
Is there a way to bypass and install anyway, or should I just wait for another update to be usable?
Thanks

DONT, I Tried To Use HurUpdater To Get Oreo Early Even If Its Not Approved, I Got Bricked, I Was Stuck At A Fastboot Error Screen, My Bootloader Was Still Unlocked Because I Put Another Custom Recovery With HurUpdater. So I Booted To ER Recovery And It Looked Different, It Looked Much Better Than The Android 7 ER Recovery. Then Next In Order To Get Out Of This Brick, I Pressed The Button To Dowbload Latest Firmware And Recovery And It Worked!! Usually That Does Not Work With Android 7 ER Recovery. So I Typed In My Wifi Password And It Installed And Removed Everything, So I Was Back At B406 FRD-L09C432. But I Had An "Appdata" Back up in twrp before i did this. Then I Got All My Data Back (Apps, Saves On Games, Even My Settings Were Back From The Appdata Backup From That TWRP Appdata Backup)

Is this method using a russian systemversion, or rebranding the phone?

HurUpdater Is Meant For Updating Your Device, I Was Using FRD-L09C432
I Would Suggest Waiting Until Someone Has A Better Method

Don't rush, just wait. I'm currenty sitting on B407. It'll be available in some time via OTA.

Please stop using capital letters at the beggining of each word
I think we all should wait for official update. If the firmware is on Firmware Finder, it means that the official update is very soon. We need to be a little bit more patient.

IMHO, you have to understand that modifying anything from stock room (root, bootloader...) will prevent you to get any official update easily.
By rooting, you chose this.

When I Rooted, It Made My Phone Much More Faster, It Disable Apps From Running In The Background, I Kinda Wanted It Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......
Only If Huawei Allows You To Update While Rooted.....
Plus Firmware Finder Dns And Proxy Stopped Working, So I Have No Way To Force Update It Using The Stock Recovery
HurUpdater Bricks My Device When I Try To Update To Oreo, I Think Im Doing Something Wrong Though

@SuperSwordSmasher Please stop using capital letters at the beggining of each word [emoji33]

I have Oreo witch HurUpdater and work fine.

The best way to upgrade to Oreo is to use method 2 with root on this guide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
Assuming that you're on Nougat and Oreo is available for your region (or you already rebranded).
If the phone doesn't boot, go to recovery and wipe data.
Then use multitool v8 to install emui 8 compatible recovery, it's not perfect but Magisk can be installed (but uninstaller doesn't work ... Be careful with the modules you use ?)

I received and install B407 Today, stock usual OTA way... Maybe B521 soon..

OTA update, rooted phone

Hello.
I own a FRD-L19C432
Firmware is B120
bootloader unlocked and rooted
Some weeks ago I got an update notification for B131
Because TWRP was installed, I ignored it for a while.
Then I flashed stock recovery to do the update.
Unfortunately I flashed wrong recovery. Extraced it from FRD-L19C636B120
I did not notice my mistake and tried to do the OTA update.
Phone booted to recovery, tried to flash, stopped saying that something went wrong. Can't remeber the exact error message. I think it said to download the update again.
Phone booted back to system. Still on B120.
Since this happend the update app says that there is no newer firmware than B120. No OTA and no full package.
I realized some days later that I flashed wrong revocery. Then I flashed the correct one hoping that the update app will show B131 agian. But it didn't.
I'm glad I did't brick the phone by flashing the wrong recovery.
But how do I get the update?
I already tried to download manually via hicloud. But I cant find B131. Did they call B131 back?

Ok, I think I found the update file.
Do I need an external SD or is internal storage ok?
Will it full wipe my data?
Will it relock my bootloader?

Yes I know. But "in honor 7 not relocked" is fine then you write "someone respond this question?" which completely changes the statement and doesn't make sense

So, I finally did the update from B120 to B131 and I want to share my experience:
I downloaded the B131 Firmware from the huawei server:
Honor 8 Firmware(FRD-L19, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B131, Germany)
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92124&version=360419&siteCode=de-h
In the zip package there was the update.app and a pdf tutorial how to do the update.
I used the the dialer method
enter:*#*#2846579#*#* -> ProjectMenu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade-> ...
I backed up my data, because in the pdf it says that all user data will be erased.
But that is not true. After the update all my data was still there. Update was successful.
But:
Root is gone,
Bootloader is locked again
So if I open bootloader my data will be erased. So good that I did the backup.

Bootloop after SU install

Greetings,
i tried to root my Honor 8 yesterday and it worked pretty well until the last bootup after i installed SU.
When the honor letters come onscreen the phone shuts off and puts me straight into eRecovery without me pressing anything.
I tried different versions of SU aswell as TWRP. I tried different combinations and numerous times.
It all works again after a factory reset but it itsn rooted then obviously; this problem always occurs right after the SU installation on the following startup, so im not able to boot up my phone.
Its the FRD-L09 model with latest Nougat and Emui version, i do not use a modified Rom yet as my phone is pretty new (like last week new), this is my first attempt on rooting a huawei phone as i only used sony the past 6 years.
I hope anybody could help me out there
Sorry for my bad english and thx in advance :good:
Currently Stock, wich is FRD-L09C432B380
i currently can because i did a factory reset this morning to use my phone during the day.
As soon as i flash supersu it apperantly bricks my phone. I tried different version of it aswell as the latest one, from offical sources of course.

Did you manage to update your system? I tried everything, always getting an error that the update can't get verified.
I have a rooted, unlocked twrp system on android 7.0 EUMI 5.0 (BLN-L21,Honor 6x)
already tried to flash stock recovery, remove magisk(root), busybox but I still can't update the system.
I would really appreciate the help.

You can do via dload only. Earlier i uswd to update just by flashing the stock recovery but recently on 6X this messed up badly may be volte and hence update failed and then it gave me to download the full firmware with prompt as your data partition is messed up amd needs to be fixed and after downloading the fill OTA update, got success. But then proceeded with debranding the next night

Hey brother, i tried many times to update from B360 to B365 (not full package, only 547MB) reflashing stock B360 recovery, but i always receive errors while recovery is verifying the package. I tried even dload method with .zip archives but i always achieve a failure and it is just boooooring :silly: You know other methods to try? Like adb or terminal emulator commands to update, or else... I cannot figure out how to correctly update my device. I have both B365 packages, FULL or partial OTA update downloaded. Thanks in advance

Cant believe you are facing issues now who helps every new user.
Nope bro. I still recommend to use dload only to flash full firmware. It should be full firmware and not the 547 MB.
Just to be in stock and use one of the app today, I relocked bootloader but then got the prompt as my data partition is damaged and need format. I allowed and then it was only erecovery and bootloader.
Then i unlocked and it went straight to twrp. And from there reboot to system works fine. I have the files and once really needed i will dload but problem with stock is that it doesn't have in-built call recording.
Edit-What is exact firmware BLN-L21CXYZB365?

Well let's say that looks like it's my turn now; Huawei mechanisms are much complicated sometimes, a little detail can let you puzzle an hour like and maybe it's only a joke. My previous device was a Samsung, so except common Android related functions EMUI is a new world for me. Only full firmware will work so, ok. Do i have to reinstall every app, or modify again my whole settings menu if i update using the full firmware package, i suppose..? What do you mean with "use one of the app today"? I didn't relocked bootloader because i thought that stock recovery could be enough. Overall, the risk to encounter an error like yours would be a bore, generally. Which files are you referring to, update files? My full build number is BLN-L21C432B360, I'm trying to update to B365.
However if you need call recording function (me too), there's a working method posted by an user in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/themes/callrecord-t3650864 that enables official call recording function from EMUI, check it. I followed this months ago on my BLN-L21, who had no call record at all by default in my firmware, and it flawlessly worked. I recommend it to you.

I was using Tez app from play store but it didnt work may be because i am rooted with unlocked bootloader and need to bypass the safety check.
For call recording, I am already usimg a zip since debranding and works fine. I have Posted in 5C repository. But we need to be rooted for this with custom recovery.
If you are rooted then can take twrp backup and restore apps if on stock and non rooted then hisuite.
As far as i have tested on my 5c, dload won't wipe data but still i would recommend to have full backup brother.

Surely I'll take a backup pal, i already got burned time ago and now i never do something without doing a nandroid backup bfore Thanks for the link, but i already have the FULL package downloaded OTA stored on my PC, so as suggested even by another user today I'll try again dload method but with full package other than partial one, it shouldn't erase my data and even if it should, I'll have a system image.
Only one thing now; in the folder where OTA was saved on my phone, as habit i found 3 packages; update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip. In this case, in dload folder on my phone i have to extract all the zips or only the main update.zip and leave the other two zipped?

Only one thing now; in the folder where OTA was saved on my phone, as habit i found 3 packages; update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip. In this case, in dload folder on my phone i have to extract all the zips or only the main update.zip and leave the other two zipped?

Extract and use only main update.zip, put all files in dload and it will do.
Have backup but I just tested and flashed full B340 again on my phone and no data loss.

Thanks for the tip brother!
So this evening i tried to use only the extracted files from the main update.zip in dload folder; then, via ProjectMenu, i choose software upgrade and loaded the update after reflashing stock recovery for B360, that i took from your repository thread, since that time ago i didn't made a copy of my stock recovery before flashing TWRP. What i obtained was a soft-brick, i really don't know why on earth because usually it just fails at 5% while verifying the package and stop, it reboots to system... so i flashed again TWRP from fastboot and now i'm restoring my backup made today.
Crap, Huawei just CAN'T make things like updating OTA such difficult! I uninstalled Magisk before doing that, but i think that it fails because i miss a clean stock boot.img. Anyway WTF all these steps for an OTA is foolish.
I provided a guide how I managed to update my rooted device and keep all my stuff, settings and apps and reroot.
Just take a look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...rootet-h6x-t3684758/post74102863#post74102863
I already did two successful updates with this method.
If there is a question just ask in that forum.

Sorry to hear you that bro.
I myself flashed the same firmware yesterday to test this without backup (hisuite backup taken on 7th). I did via dload the same firmware and it was successful without any data loss, but yeah, I lost root, call recording feature that I flashed 20 days back.
I was planning to return to full stock because I know OTA will mess up if received on this state.
Not sure what went wrong buddy with your case. If it is due to any of the file in repository, I apologise for it.

Safe to updated rooted and unlocked honor 6x on emui 4.1 via ota update?

Title says it all. I have a rooted and unlocked honor 6x on 4.1 and iust got a prompt for an update to 7.0/emui 5.

You just have to flash stock recovery!

If you are rooted, it wont boot and go to erecovery with a prompt that your data partition was damaged. You can give it a go

It applies to both. SuperSu and Magisk. I am rooted with SuperSU. There is already a thread on Magisk which states for this. And being a SueprSu user for years, I have seen this myself on my BLN-AL10B375 to B379 and BLN-L21C185C360 to BLN-L21C185C365.

Just remembered I updated via dload...sorry...my fault...maybe thats why it worked.
But thank you! I will try the b368 with your guide!
I'm a bit ashamed now?
Edit: do you have stock boot.img for b365?

In repository thread you will get on main page or last 2-3 pages. @RedSkull23 has shared it.
Yes, dload replaces stock boot and recovery so that will work.
Been gone through many ups n down with 6X so i know many things now
No need to be ashamed, these are tricky and sometimes hard to remember as we try 10 things at a time
If need b367 then here

Got a weird problem. If i flash this boot.img for 365 I can't enter my phone. It boots up, i can enter my pin, but the encryption password doesn't work! It's very strange, cause I've never changed it since first setup! Any idea? Or do you have another boot img for b 365? Thanks

My boot.img provided in repository thread is for BLN-L21C432B365 build, as listed in OP and in my post there; what's your build number? An unmatching build could be the cause of this. For example, recovery for BLN-L21C432B365, differs from BLL-L21C130B365 - the B365 at the end is equal, but the build variant is different and so incompatible

My buildnumber is exactly the same. Very strange. Can an installed busybox be responsible for those things?

You may try uninstalling the busybox and then retry to see if it works.

I think i bricked my device forever....

Tried like many others to flash RROS, but once booted it does not do anything, just a black screen. Tried using the dload method but it fails right away (i used Full-OTA same build as i had before trying to install RROS). I have Bootloader and FRP unlocked, Fastboot mentions AP_S_ABNORMAL. I can also enter TWRP, but i just cannot boot or reflash anything... Do i have to use B131 for the dload method ? Or is there anything else ?
EDIT : Resolved, see last post.
Hello. Do u know Funky Huawei? It's your friend! But, you have to pay unfortunately.

Any way to do it for free ? I am pretty sure there is, but i'll pay as a last resort, thanks
EDIT : Did it, i installed the Rollback package and then B131, everything got relocked and i lost the bootloader code, but at least it works now. Damn, i need to stop opening such useless threads...

HuRUpdater. You just need TWRP, all of the firmware zips and huru itself. It's guaranteed that HuRUpdater brings back the phone from dead.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
But remember: after you rebooted your phone, please go to eRecovery and perform a factory reset there. If you perform a factory reset with TWRP, your phone stays bricked.

Update: If you figured it out, then it's OK. But you could keep the bootloader unlocked if you used HuRUpdater.
