I need help to update my phone - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi ...
I'm just trying to update my phone to nougat version ... And it's not working ... ... When phone restarts to install firmware fails and i see this message on the screen " version incompatible " i tried this several times and i'm sure that it's the right version ... I need some help please ...
My version FRD_L09C636b130

Did you try using firmware Finder? Search YouTube on how to do it. Since you are on b130 I suggest b360 1st since that is the update for nougat then you can do the latest approved update b392

Yes i did ... And it's not working
B360 .. download then extract and move update file to dload folder .... Same result " incompatible version "
This phone is consuming my brain

Can not update at all

Hi,
I have MT7-L09 from Europe, I'm on B331, unlocked bootloader, rooted, with stock recovery and a lot of free space on both internal storage and SD card.
Today I received OTA update for B571. Downloading the file is okay, but when I reboot to install, it say that update failed because it failed to check the update files and asking me to download the package again. I tried again and again but I still got the same error message.
So I searched here for a solution, and I found that I should first install B560. I downloaded the full package and installed from local storage but once again the update failed. Then I tried to install the update package, but it failed too...
Now I just don't know what to do to upgrade to MM because update does not work at all !
Can anyone help ?
I have the same problem,but I'm on marshmallow L09C900B500
Okay, here's the solution I found myself.
I had to download full OTA B331 (which was the version that was already installed on my device), and then install it. Once done, just installed the update normally and it worked.
Now my device has Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0 but I'm now looking for a root solution.

Don't getting update to B560 again

My Mate 8 L29 is currently on C432B192 again. I said 'again', because I was already three or four times on EMUI 5. (I tried to root it but it failed Everytime, so I had to rollback)
Yesterday I wanted to try again to root B560 and began to search for the update, but - nothing. I tried it via update app , HiCare app and HiSuite on PC. I don't get the update offered. (I also deleted data and cache of those apps)
I'm currently rooted, so I tried to unroot, install stock boot image and recovery .. but same problem: still not getting the update.
Now I'm wondering why this is happening .. I had that same case before (B192, rooted etc.) and I always got that update offered.
Does anyone have a solution for this ? ( Except the manually method via TWRP .. this was never working for me)
Thank you for your help!

You need rollback package to get it back to normal.
Since your model is L29 & you are nougat.
Go to this site http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
Download the file
Extract the update.app
Make a folder on your sdcard and name it as dload
put this update.app in that sdcard
now you do the dload method
you can do it two ways
one way is
the 3 finger rule while bootup
just press volume + volume - power button together and hold until you see EMUI verifying package
then release your fingers
it will rollback to marshmallow
now you have to update it to another stock firmware (marshmallow)
remember at this point it is in global firmware it might show build number as C900 or something.
you can check it in the settings - about -> build number
you have to then update it to your model firmware
L29C185BXX
I found the stock firmware from another thread for your model
This is L29C185B200
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
once again
download the file,
extract the update.app &
then put the update.app in dload folder on your sdcard
and then do dload method.
second way of dload is
open dialer
type *#*#2846579#*#*
click on "software upgrade"
and then -> SDcard upgrade
follow the instructions on the screen
and it will finish the dload method in next few minutes.
That's it. now you will be on Stock ROM with fully functional OS.
after this you will either get OTA updates or you can download using HiCare
or you can download the stock firmware from another thread
or
you can use firmware finder to get stock firmware for your phone. Get the latest version.
If you finish all these steps then I will tell you how to get to nougat if you have any trouble
Hope you find this information useful.

You are rooted & if I read correctly you also have TWRP installed.
If you are unlocked, rooted & have TWRP - then you can install custom roms.
but if you want stock roms, - you need Stock ROM, Stock Recovery, Locked bootloader.
First you need the rollback package from EMUI4.1 to EMI 4.0 for L29C432 is below
https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/0mlDFqqy
Rollback package for L29 to downgrade from EMUI 5.0 to EMUI 4.0 marshmallow is
http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
So choose the right version based on the firmware you are having on your phone. If you have nougat choose the second link and if you have any other version then choose the first link.
Download the file, extract the update.app
then you have to do dload method
create a folder named dload and put update.app in sd card
then
go to dialer
press *#*#2846579#*#*
select
sdcard upgrade
and then say yes
that's it
you will come back to stock (global) version. build version will be C900BXX
now you need stock firmware for L29C432
you can download the stock firmware from here. Below tis the link for L29C432B180
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51244/f1/full/update.zip
Stock firmware for L29C432B192
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v63059/f1/full/update.zip
Here you have the option to either go for L29C432B180 or L29C432B192. (if you choose B192, then you will save time and reduce few steps, because you will get system update to B560 immediately once you change the region to Ireland in Hicare app)
do the dload method again
extract the file, put the file in dload folder in sdcard ,
either use dialer or use 3 button rule to finish the dload process
now you are on L29C432B180. / L29C432B192
From here you can use another dload method to go to B192 - > system update (OTA) -> B560 or B580
if you get a blank screen - > do factory reset
if you get "verification failed " in red color - > unlock bootloader again and proceed with the steps.
This rollback package will save you in case of any problems.
Once you go to nougat B560
you can update to Kangvip B577 - pre rooted rom - its awesome - Root stable , excellent battery lfie. - everything is working perfectly.
I will give you those steps and links if you succeed in getting to B560 after all these steps.
I am sorry that this is a very long post and many steps but I can assure you that it is worth.
Ultimately you will get to nougat & with full root using Kangvip B577.
Hope you succeed

Really..
Have you tried to rollback? Or why do you have FRD-L09C900B300? It's a rollback package.
I suggest you to use dload method to rollback to B131.

I have been stuck on B300 also when trying to rollback once or after trying to upgrade via charle method i don't remember. But I end up getting out of it and rolling back to B131 by creating the dload folder with the B131 frimware in my sd-card, and it works. On internal storage it kept telling me something error or invalid packet.

Honor 8 Software install failed!

Hey,
somehow my phone ( FRD-L09C636 ) doesn´t want to update by it self. So i tried to update it with the dload methode.
After going in the "secret menu" and try to install it from my sd card it stops after 5% and says:
Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don´t work with the other methode ( rebooting phone and press vol up, down and power button ) either.
Tried to update from C636B130 to C636B360 and C636B389.
Downloaded both firmwares from Firmware Finder on my PC.
Hope you guys can help ^^.
Hello, did you try to update your phone via HiSuite software (computer)?
And for Firmware Finder firmwares, did you check if you can install them? (Check firmware access)
Going from B130 (Android 6.0) to B3xx (Android 7.0) firmware requires to flash FullOTA firmware.

Yes, already tried with HISuite .. it says my phone is up to date.
I´ve also checked, if the update is available for my phone. It´s alright.
So I need to flash it with ADB, like TWRP?
Greetings UStone
You don't need to use custom Recovery like TWRP to flash "FullOTA" firmware (approved for installation, of course). Use "dload" folder method to flash "UPDATE.APP" file from .zip files in this order (advised):
1) update.zip
2) update_full_xxxx_yyyy.zip ("xxxx" and "yyyy" = depending from hardware model/region)
3) update_data_full_public.zip
But you can use TWRP to flash a "FullOTA-PV" firmware (if available...) or use a recent method to flash any "FullOTA" firmware using TWRP (CAUTION!): HuRUpdater
Hi,
I am having the same issue as the OP.
I have and Honor 8 indian version (FRD-L02C675) and currently am in the B160. I'm trying to upgrade to the FRD-L02C675B330CUSTC675D003, and I have downloaded the FullOTA-MF from firmware finder, version 8757 and 87830, and used the dload method. For both versions I have the same message:
Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package.
HISuite says my phone is up to date, the same as system update on the phone.
I've also checked if the update is available for my phone, and it is.
I am from Ecuador using a indian version, so I'm not going to be able to update OTA officially.
I appreciate all the help you can give me.

first,you must updated to 151.
second,we have to wait to Rollout 158.
I have read Firmware Finder does not work anymore from Emui 8.2.
I tried, but it's really not working anymore.
I have tried everything but nothing works.
I make a rooted Stockrom and flash it,but the Phone does not start and I have to go back to 151 and wait for the Update....
here is it
I think the original question remains unanswered, is there a way to manually flash an update file? Maybe something similar to Samsung devices where you can install update from sd card / adb for instance?
