Hi everyone
I've just received my Honor 8 and I would like to root it without installing TWRP (or any other recovery than stock one) to receive further OTAs.
Is there any way? I tried Kingroot but did not work.
Thanks
I haven't tried this, but you should be able to do a systemless install of TWRP, root the phone, then re-install the stock recovery.
Hi, thank you for your answer.
I tried this. I reinstalled stock recovery (found in a UPDATE.APP file). But now, my device fails to do OTAs.
Does it notify you they're available, but fail to install? Or is it not seeing any updates?
I haven't been able to do much experimentation because there's not TWRP backup for my L04 yet, and I don't want to leave myself in a bad state without a restore option. I'm probably going to hold off on any updates (I'm on b140 now) until I have a fully working TWRP.
I had a notification and, when it did reboot, it failed. Now, it doesn't see any update. I am on b101.
Finally, I downloaded frd-L09c432b120 from here.
I followed these instructions: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68695798&postcount=2)

Steps are below, follow them.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img

I stopped there!
Rebooted my phone (no wipe done) and got a notification for an update.
The update succeeded (I'm now on B120).
But now, bootloader is locked again. So, it will wipe my phone when I will root it (locking bootloader first). So, I'm really looking for a solution to get OTAs on a rooted phone. Even if I will have to root it again, but without loosing lock on bootloader.
Isn't it possible to disable the device encryption so that you can avoid having to wipe it every time?

I suggest to not do any OTA's. For all we know, an OTA can make it harder to root.
The thing might not work with a new official release is the recovery. And looking to other devices that has not been the case.
Just don´t encrypt the phone as it makes much harder to update. Also might mess up the timed on/off function.
Rooting without TWRP must be really hard.

I know only one way of rooting without twrp and that is to use KingRoot or a similar app/software.
It messes up the phone pretty bad and makes it a headache to get OTA in the future.

Well root itself will cripple OTA updates. Using Kingroot is really not recommended due to compatibility issues. So SuperSU is the best choice.

I should have highlighted HEADACHE in the above post. With SuperSU or magisk, it's super easy to enable/get OTA again but not the same with KingRoot.
And the bootloader unlocked by KingRoot has to be unlocked again, using official method, to be able to flash desired images for a complete unroot.

Yes! I rooted it with Kingroot and tried to flash a custom recovery through Flashify. The recovery partition got corrupted and I can't flash anything to it anymore.

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?
search for the update via huawei firmware finder by team MT

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.

whats your phone model L04 - L02 - L??
what was the last software version you had working
You need to download a full update package for your device from Huawei's website, unpack UPDATE.APP into a folder on an external SD card named /dload/ ("/dload/UPDATE.APP"). Get a stock recovery image for your model and firmware, plug into computer after setting up ADB and fastboot, "fastboot reboot bootloader". In bootloader with RECOVERY.IMG in the same folder as ADB and fastboot, "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Power off phone, hold down vol up + vol down + power until you see the phone update dialog, then release, and all will go back to normal.

I was stuck with the same issue. What worked for me was

2. Flash the rollback package (got me working eRecovery)
3. Reboot
4. Flash the Marshmallow Full OTA
5. Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition

Now, I could go back to Marshmallow B130. But, no way forward to upgrade to Nougat. Downloading any version (B140, B150, B161) from Firmware finder results in same problem. (No Keyboard, No Factory Reset, testkeys build)
Now I have downloaded 2 FOTA zip file from hicloud
1. UPDATE.ZIP
2. update_data_full_FRD-L02_channel_in
Now, how should I proceed?
I've tried every single method I can see online, from fastboot flashing, to the dload method, to flashing stock via fastboot and then attempting the dload method. Nothing works. Right now I'm on TWRP 3.1.1-0 and RR 7.1.2. I really need to go back as with custom roms the fingerprint reader refuses to work, and not having HWC is a big deal to me. I was on EMUI 5.0, and I can't seem to get back. Any attempt at the dload method always fails at 5% and the fastboot flashed method (Where you flash the recovery, system and boot.img via fastboot) refuses to boot, (Just sits on device booting screen for 15+ minutes and does nothing). I've spent about 5-6 hours on this and I just can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated (also if anyone would be so kind as to throw up a BLL-L22 EMUI 5.0 TWRP stock backup, I'd really appreciate it).

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

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.

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..
