This is a call to arms for anyone still running 1.5 on their eris. We (developers) need people to capture the update process using wireshark (or an equivalent). This is needed for a new root attempt, but sadly all of the devs have already updated to 2.1 so we can't do this.
First go here and download the RUU:
http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/Eris%20MR1.zip
Next you need to go to verizon's website and login to your account. Click "Suspend/Resume Service" and suspend your phone. You can resume service on the phone after you are done here with no penalties or charges.
Please follow these directions, taken from the first root thread

Steps:
[Binny knows this, but if anyone else is reading, it is the same as a factory reset - you will lose all your settings and apps (but not the contents of the SD card)]
1) Unpack the 1.16.605 RUU - by running it as if you were going to actually do the RUU using the USB cable and your host PC, but stop right before you would apply the update to the phone. Pull the "rom.zip" file out of the temporary area that the RUU installer unpacks.
(Poke around under C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\??? (I can't remember - you'll see folders with names that look like registry entries). You have to do this while the RUU installer is sitting there waiting for you - if you cancel the install, it will nuke everything it unpacked. I just made copies of the entire subtrees.
2) Cancel the RUU install.
3) Move the ROM.ZIP file to the root folder of your SD card, and rename it PB00IMG.ZIP
4) You can cancel the RUU install session on the PC, and unplug the USB cable if you want (so long as you have a well-charged battery!)
3) Power down the phone, and boot it back up holding the Call and End buttons simultaneously
4) Scroll down (or whatever it asks) to go from Fastboot mode to HBOOT mode
5) The phone will automatically discover the PB00IMG.ZIP file, and unpack it and verify it.
6) It will ask you if you want to install; when you (select and) enter Yes, the phone will reboot, and come up again - appearing as if it is repeating the same thing. This time, however, it won't stop and ask you - it will just begin the install.
7) Wait... Wait... Wait... Wait... and then wait some more. If I recall correctly, it seems to hang a little bit at the HTC splash screen after the reboot. That is normal - just WAIT and let the phone do it's thing.
That's it, except for:
8) You probably will want to dial *228 and choose option 1 to complete the programming of your phone - it will reboot after it completes.

After you are done, DO NOT start the OTA update that it prompts you to do.
Now we are going to install wireshark and setup the capture environment:
Download wireshark from http://www.wireshark.org/download.html for your versions of windows
Install it - make sure you also install WinPcap
At this point you should turn off any wireless encryption on your router. I know it's not necessary but it makes it easier to go through the captures.
Setup the wireless on your phone to connect to your wireless router and turn off your mobile data connection.
After you have turned off the wireless security on your router, we are going to start the wireshark capture.
Run wireshark - if you are on vista or windows 7 make sure to run it as an administrator
Click "Capture" then "Interfaces"
Click "options" next to the interface that your computer has an IP for
Make sure to check "Capture packets in promiscuous mode"
In the Capture Filter box, type "host <ip_address>" where <ip_address> is the ip address your router gave your phone
Make sure that "Automatic scrolling in live capture" is checked so you can ensure the capture is working
Click "Start"
At this point, you should browse the web with your phone. You should see lots of stuff scrolling by in the wireshark window.
If there isn't, you messed up something above and should try again.
If there is a lot of stuff scrolling by, continue:
Close the browser
In wireshark, click "Capture" then "Restart"
Reboot your phone
On your phone, go to "Settings" -> "About Phone" -> "Check for Updates" and go through with the OTA update
After the update is done and your phone is rebooted, go to wireshark and click "Capture" -> "Stop"
Then click "File" -> "Save As" and give it a name.
Upload that file to Megaupload, or Mediafire, or some other file sharing site, or any private server that I can get access to.
After you have uploaded the file please message me through the forums with a link to the file.
Thanks a ton.
e-mail me at [email protected] i got my wifes phones todo this to shes still on 1.5
NO need to have a average user do this, guinea pig yourself and roll back down to 1.5 it can and has been done by other devs.
Isn't there a "logcat" line you can run through adb to get the same thing? Like, when the update is available, you can plug your phone into your computer, connect it to terminal using adb and run a logcat to find the address of the update.zip

We don't need the location of the update file, we need all the extra network traffic that surrounds the OTA process.
Ah. My bad.
We need to know, exactly, how the update process works.
I'm currently working on downgrading 2.1. Will post back a tut if i get it working
Can't we create an AVD to run with a custom rom and use the Eris MR1 ROM to do it?
Scratch that. I don't think AVDs will get OTAs.

No need to go to all that trouble. I've already posted a link to the OTA update (1.16.605.1 -> 1.17.605.1) in this XDA thread a couple of days ago. Just copy n' paste into your browser's URL bar. I'll repeat it here for grins.
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip
(You might get a browser security warning as that server uses the wrong (google.com) cert.)
Let me know if the above link no longer works - I suppose I could repeat the OTA thing - I am not on 2.1
The OTA process drops the downloaded zip file into /cache, and somehow during reboot, it's presence is detected. If it "only" needs to be dropped in there, or there are some other hooks that need to be present at the reboot, I am not sure. I say "only" because that implies that root privilege is needed to do that - or perhaps it is possible to use "fastboot update" after rebooting the phone with $ adb '(sync; reboot -n oem-78)' The OTA zip file is not signed the way the RUU "rom.zip" files are; it uses the same signing methods as app (.apk) files - the SDK "jarsigner" method.
You can unpack the zip file and look at what it does - there is a script at
META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
which controls the update... and there is a binary patch executable included in zip which is called upon to do file-by-file binary patching.

Thanks for the info bftb0, but we aren't looking to snag the OTA file. We are actually trying to see what communication goes on between our phones and the verizon update servers.
FYI,
When you roll back to MR1, the phone seems to have already grabbed and downloaded the OTA update... in less time than it takes to hand-configure the phone. If you want to observe the OTA process via wireless, you need to prevent the phone from having Mobile network access, since that comes up by default after a FR or MRx rom burn.
Here's a long shot. Perform the MR1 rollback inside a cell dead zone, and conduct a MIM attack by setting up a server on the wireless net so the phone downloads a different OTA zip. You control DHCP for WiFi, so you also in principle control the DNS and routing the phone sees via WiFi. In principle, it's not possible because https should prevent Man-In-the-Middle... but if that (Google) server isn't correctly configured, maybe the phone is not really being too careful about certificate problems. (Either that or the Google server is tuning its' responses based on UA strings).

Sorry, my bad. I didn't read carefully enough.
I could probably attempt what you are asking for - I am quite familiar with wireshark (and even hardware sniffing of WiFi, so long as you have the right nic), but the fact that the phone seems to go and look for updates immediately after a FR or MRx update means that the "check for updates" thing may not do anything useful for you if there is already an update on the phone waiting to be installed by the time you start pressing menu buttons. (Thus the idea about "do MR1 in a cell dead zone")
Beyond that, there is a possibility that the update app does not do a wildcard host bind() when it sets up the socket when it inquires about updates with the Verizon servers - for instance, MMS service works exactly that way (it will only use the mobile network interface), and precisely so because of security considerations. Do you know whether or not any of the update conversation actually traverses WiFi if the mobile network is turned off?

You can force updates to occur over WiFi if the mobile network is turned off. Do you think this would work:
1. on 1.17 do a factory reset but do not activate the phone.
2. Initiate the downgrade process
2a. while downgrading, turn on packet capture
3. When the phone boots back up and wants you to call a number to activate, hang up
I think if you can skip the activation the phone will not have a mobile data connection, which would allow you to turn on wifi and initiate the update process.
Im still on 1.5 PM me and ill help if needed

Doubt an ebayer has a hacked version of the Sprint app, but he does say that this doesn't void your warranty (unless he thinks that rooting doesn't void warranties.)
Doesn't work on Froyo. My money is on a hacked version of the Sprint app.
Tempting to spend the $5. If it involves root, you can get your money back since it is false advertising.

hes probably sending out instructions on unrevoked and android tether, which you can get on youtube for free
I reported him for selling someone else's intellectual property, since I highly doubt he actually wrote that app, and if it doens't involve hacking the only instructions he could include are "put on SD card and run."
Well .. my opinion...not that it matters..
You will see stuff like this all the time. He isnt selling the software, only instructions on how to do it. I really don't see anything wrong with that. People buy instructions on how to do things all the time. There really isn't anything wrong with that. If someone is too lazy to reseach it and figure it out themselves, oh well. That's the great thing about America. Everyone has a hustle, nobody is forcing anyone to buy it. Maybe it is some college kid scraping to get along, maybe not. Either way, no harm no foul. You don't like it, don't buy it...
Now if he was selling the free software, thats a different ballgame.
I don't see how reporting him for selling someone elses stuff is cool... he's selling instructions. Whoopie.
Agreed. It's no different than someone accepting payment when someone asks for help on this forum and offers to pay someone via Paypal. I occasionally see threads like that around.

FOR EVO OWNERS DO NOT DO ANY UPDATES JUST YET THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE 1.47 SOFTWARE VERSION.
ALRIGHT HERE THEY ARE, I HAVE INCLUDED 3 DIFFERENT SETS OF INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE READ ALL OF THEM TO GET A FEEL FOR WHAT YOUR DOING SOME GO INTO MORE DETAIL THAN OTHERS BUT THEY ALL GET YOU TO DO THE SAME THING. RIGHT BELOW IS HOW YOU GET THE WIFI TETHER APP WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO DO AS WELL. BUT JUST READ AND FOLLOW STEP BY STEP.
****RIGHT BELOW IS HOW YOU GET THE ACTUAL WIFI TETHER APP****
1. Now go back to you internet browser on your phone and pull up google.
2. Type in "android wifi tether" and click search.
3. The first option that comes up after the search called "android wifi tether - Project Hosting..."
4. Select the first option and let it take you to the web site.
5. Now the page will pull up and look for where it says "HTC Evo" under device and just to the right of that
you will see a link that says "download" click download.
6. Now click the link that says "wireless tether for root users 2.0.2.apk.
7. Click on "wireless tether for root users 2.0.2.apk" again.
8. Now click "wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk" and let it install.
******First set of Instructions******
(1) If you have the original unrevoked root installed, uninstall it by using "Menu," "Settings," "Applications," "Manage Applications" and scrolling to "Unrevoked" at the bottom. Tap it, click "Force Stop" at the bottom and then "Uninstall," "OK" to uninstall it. Then power off/on your phone just to be sure.
(2) If you haven't already installed the OTA 1.47 update, do it now: "Menu," "Settings," "System Updates," and "HTC software update" at the bottom, then click "Check Now" to get the 1.47 update. If you do this update, it takes up to 10 minutes so be patient and let the phone reboot (a few times) until it is done. Then once the update is done, power off/on one last time to get a clean start.
(3) Set your phone to "Charge Only:" "Menu," "Settings," "Connect to PC," tap "Default connection type" and select "Charge Only."
(4) Enable USB debugging: "Menu," "Settings," "Applications," "Development," and put a check in "USB debugging."
The process: DOWNLOAD THE REFLASH PACKAGE FROM http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ NO MATTER WHAT!
(1) Download the unrevoked3 install package: Go to unrevoked3 recovery reflash tool, v3.0 and click "Download for Windows." Save the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file somewhere that you can find it on your system.
(2) Using Explorer, run the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file you just downloaded. It'll ask where to install it. Don't just accept the default: change the install location to a folder you can remember: it's just going to unzip some files there: it isn't really a software installer.
(3) Once the files have unzipped, go to the folder you chose in the above step. You should find an "hboot driver.htm" file in that folder: double click on that to open the html instructions on how to install the drivers. Follow the instructions in the html file starting with downloading the actual driver files at the very top. When you download those driver files and unzip those, those are the files (the folder) you'll point to in subsequent steps in those instructions. When done with the html instructions, you should have drivers installed and shouldn't have to come back to this step.
(4) At this point, if you needed to install the drivers, you are probably still sitting at a boot menu on your phone. UNPLUG the phone from USB and select "Fastboot" and then "Reboot" to reboot the phone to restart it. Before the next step, your phone should be on and booted up in its normal operating state (not some boot menu).
(5) Now go to the folder where you unzipped the reflash bundle (step 2 above). Just double click the "Reflash.exe" file.
(6) You should get a window with "Unrevoked 3" on it (on the computer of course). Just follow the instructions in smaller font below "Unrevoked 3" to finish rooting. Note that when it says "Waiting for device," it wants you to plug your EVO into the computer via the USB cable. Note that it wants the EVO to be fully booted normally (not in the Hboot or recovery menus). The prompts at this point are very specific so no need to repeat them. If all works as it is supposed to, the only thing you really have to do is scroll to an item on the phone and select it when instructed. The rest is automated and should result in a "Done" message. The whole thing at this point took maybe one minute so it isn't something you have to wait for or stare at for a long time.
*****Second set of Instructions*****
All the instructions I've found for using unrevoked3 to root an Evo on a Windows PC seem to be piecemeal (all over the place and incomplete), so I thought I'd give a rundown of what worked for me. Some of these steps may be unnecessary but doing all of them should result in a "safe" root. This is written for those with little to no knowledge of rooting but with basic Windows/PC skills and knowledge of how to navigate the Evo interface:
Prep
Before beginning the process, I would recommend doing the following to your phone:
(1) If you have the original unrevoked root installed, uninstall it by using "Menu", "Settings", "Applications", "Manage Applications" and scrolling to "Unrevoked" at the bottom. Tap it, click "Force Stop" at the bottom and then "Uninstall", "OK" to uninstall it. Then power off/on your phone just to be sure.
(2) If you haven't already installed the OTA 1.47 update, do it now: "Menu", "Settings", "System Updates", and "HTC software update" at the bottom, then click "Check Now" to get the 1.47 update. If you do this update, it takes up to 10 minutes so be patient and let the phone reboot (a few times) until it is done. Then once the update is done, power off/on one last time to get a clean start.
(3) Set your phone to "Charge Only": "Menu", "Settings", "Connect to PC", tap "Default connection type" and select "Charge Only".
(4) Enable USB debugging: "Menu", "Settings", "Applications", "Development", and put a check in "USB debugging".
The root process
(1) Go to Control Panel on your system and uninstall any "HTC" software such as "HTC Sync".
(2) Download the unrevoked3 install package: Go to
unrevoked3 recovery reflash tool, v3.0 and click "Download for Windows". Save the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file somewhere that you can find it on your system.
(3) Using Explorer, run the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file you just downloaded. It'll ask where to install it. Don't just accept the default: change the install location to a folder you can remember: it's just going to unzip some files there: it isn't really a software installer.
(4) Once the files have unzipped, go to the folder you chose in the above step. You should find an "hboot driver.htm" file in that folder: double click on that to open the html instructions on how to install the drivers. Follow the instructions in the html file starting with downloading the actual driver files at the very top. When you download those driver files and unzip those, those are the files (the folder) you'll point to in subsequent steps in those instructions. When done with the html instructions, you should have drivers installed and shouldn't have to come back to this step.
(5) At this point, if you needed to install the drivers, you are probably still sitting at a boot menu on your phone. UNPLUG the phone from USB and select "Fastboot" and then "Reboot" to reboot the phone to restart it. Before the next step, your phone should be on and booted up in its normal operating state (not some boot menu).
(6) If you are running anti-virus software, turn it OFF or disable it now.
(7) Now go to the folder where you unzipped the reflash bundle (step 3 above). In XP or older systems, just double click the "Reflash.exe" file. On Vista and Win7 systems, I'd recommend right clicking on "Reflash.exe" and selecting "Run as Administrator". While this may not be necessary, I know that some USB drivers get really mad if you try to access the USB port without admin privileges (sorry, I'm a coder so I run into that stuff and warn you so you don't have to) so I did it as a precaution.
(8) You should get a window with "Unrevoked 3" on it (on the computer of course). Just follow the instructions in smaller font below "Unrevoked 3" to finish rooting. Note that when it says "Waiting for device", it wants you to plug your Evo into the computer via the USB cable. Note that it wants the Evo to be fully booted normally (not in the Hboot or recovery menus). The prompts at this point are very specific so no need to repeat them. If all works as it is supposed to, the only thing you really have to do is scroll to an item on the phone and select it when instructed. The rest is automated and should result in a "Done" message. The whole thing at this point took maybe one minute so it isn't something you have to wait for or stare at for a long time so if something gets "stuck" for a while... there's likely a problem.
(9) Don't forget to turn your anti-virus software back ON.
Now, when I followed these steps on my Win7 x64 system, reflash.exe detected the phone and started working (we're in step 8 here) but about 4 messages into the process I got the "communications lost... try again" message that unrevoked refers to on today's Twitter. Some say that (contrary to step 1) installing HTC sync actually solves the problem. I didn't try that. After about 6 tries on my Win7 system and even pulling some "tricks" to try to pause reflash.exe at certain points, I gave up and simply booted my old XP laptop and repeated the above steps and it worked perfectly the first time. At the point of the failure, you hear the two tone usb-device-disconnected sound followed by a use-device-connected sound about 20 seconds later. Somewhere in between is where the "communications lost" message appears so it looks like some sort of USB ack/nack issue. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. My best advice if you get that error: try a new machine. The XP machine that worked perfectly for me had never seen any HTC software. Maybe that helped. And maybe after I uninstalled the HTC software on my Win7 x64 system (the one that didn't work) I should have rebooted before continuing: I didn't because it didn't prompt for a restart and I couldn't find anything "HTC" running in task manager.
****Third set of instructions****
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...tc-droid-incredible-explanation-instructions/
*******READ BELOW FIRST BEFORE GOING TO WEB SITE ABOVE********
Alright here is the web site that you need to follow. First of all make sure you have USB DEBUGGING checked on you phone and UNKNOWN SOURCES is checked as well.
To do this go to Settings-->Applications--> check UNKNOWN SOURCES, then right below that click development and check USB DEBUGGING.
Now this is just as important you HAVE to uninstall any program that automatically comes up when you plug in your android phone (HTC Sync, DoubleTwist or any other program). If you do not do this it will not work. Trust me it took me 3 hours to figure this out but once i uninstalled these two programs it worked the first time. So if you follow all of the directions on the web site it will work without a hitch.
Go ahead and go to the web site and read it over one good time without doing anything JUST READ IT! When you do that come back and read the rest.......Go on read it but just read it don't do anything else till you read the rest of this email
You will need to do the steps below to get the app for wireless tether so you can do it before or after you install the directions from the web site above.
1. Now go back to you internet browser on your phone and pull up google.
2. Type in "android wifi tether" and click search.
3. The first option that comes up after the search called "android wifi tether - Project Hosting..."
4. Select the first option and let it take you to the web site.
5. Now the page will pull up and look for where it says "HTC Evo" under device and just to the right of that
you will see a link that says "download" click download.
6. Now click the link that says "wireless tether for root users 2.0.2.apk.
7. Click on "wireless tether for root users 2.0.2.apk" again.
8. Now click "wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk" and let it install.
Those are the instructions for the actual app that will turn on the tethering.
When you go to the web site above you will need to follow the steps from where it says "instructions"
First download the software fromunrevoked.com for your hero or evo to your computers desktop, then make a new folder on your desktop and put the app that you downloaded from unrevoked.com and put it in there because that is where all of the files will extract too when you run the unrevoked program.
Second you will need to install the drivers, on the web site click on the install drivers hyper link and it will take you to the web site to download the drivers again just make a new folder on your desktop and extract the files into it, it is very simple if you just take it slow and follow the directions.
After you install the drivers you will run the reflash package inside the folder that you made on your desktop when you do that it will extract the files and you will finally run the application on your computer called ReFlash. Try plugging your phone in first and then running the program or vise versa. Let the app do its thing and follow instructions on the programs screen. When it finally says Done your phone will be on a screen that you have never seen before but you will want to click on the first option with the power button that says restart phone. (or whatever the first option is it should say restart). You will see in your apps on your phone a app called superuser permissions. That is what you want to see to know if it worked. Once that is there run the wifi tether app that i showed you how to install earlier.
The web site above has some very good help forums but to be honest this is very simple to do just take your time and if you have any computer skills at all and can follow instructions you can do this.
So, since it is root instructions, is he selling a method that would void the warranty?

dont be hater, i just wanted to make a thread more specific to this problem cuz sometimes its hard to find the awnser on those large thread
or you could just boot your device into download mode and plug it in....no downloading from any SHADY file hosts that force you to use their downloader, and no confusing instructions....boot to download mode, plug your phone in, then wait.
Thats a good ideia too, but anyways... u can wathever drivers u want from who u want. This tutorial was mainly fpcused on new people arriving to our world!

thanks pals for that, i need that tutoreial so much!
I don't know if this is because it was already installed or what (I've had to work with several other Android phones for a project I'm involved with) but I couldn't get the zip to install either (are they Win8 drivers C4SCA? Didn't work on Win7 64bit). What I did do was select the device driver manually. Once in the driver list select Android Phone and then Android Bootloader Interface. In my case it listed Acer and Google so be sure to select Google if you have any options. Worked fine after that.

This is working. Easy oem unlock on samsung
When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account
When activating the oem unlock you can install Twrp, kernel or custom rom without the activation of FRP security that is activated when you establish a security pattern in the device

I found a way to remove FRP on Samsung J5(6) SM-J510FN model, Android 6.0.1 without flashing the phone, or using Odin, RealTerm or other SW tools, it might work on other samsung devices running Marshmallow 6.0.1 too.
As a new user, I am not able to enter any URLs for the files. do a search for the following APKs instead: Android 6GAM.apk and FRP_REMOVE.apk
Download the above APKs on your comuter, copy them to microSD and insert it in the phone.
Turn on the phone, connect to wi-fi, once you get to the screen when you need to enter your email, press on "mike" icon and choose Settings>>Text Shortcuts>>Add>> and type random text, select it all, then long tap and choose "Assist".
Tap on "No, Thanks" and Type "Galaxy Apps". Galaxy App will come up, tap on it and sign in when launched.
Install ES File Explorer, when launched, go to "sdcard" dropdown>>select the microSD card with the apk files. Install Android 6GAM.apk first, once complete, tap on "Done", install FRP_REMOVE.apk, once done, tap on "Open". This will launch Google Account Manager.
If you are not familiar what to do here, then do the following:
- Look for “Type Email and Password”>>Tap to launch it>>Tap on Try
- Tap on the three dots and choose “Browser sign-in”>>OK
- Sign in with your google account details and wait until you get back to “Google Account Manager”
- Tap on the back button until you get back to the phone setup wizard, you can go as back as to wi-fi settings.
- You can now follow the setup wizard, it will tell you that a new account has been created.
- Once you can access settings on the phone, you can do another factory reset, this tyme without FRP.
Hope this helps
Good luck!

I couldnt find this method on xda and I dont know why but it works
Got two old Samsung J5(6) from work. We don't know de original name anymore. The one we mostly use don't work.
Is there a option the get them to work again without paying someone for a hack?
I know how to flash a rom, but I read that doesn't work anymore? (I did this things on the galaxy 1 and 2... so that old...)
I tried some tutorials on the web, but they are old and don't work anymore.
Anyone a new howto that does work?
OK, so there's a post nearly identical to this, with the CLEAR exception of it being specific to Android 6.x (Marshmallow). For that thread, go HERE.
DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY OF THE BELOW STEPS ON MARSHMALLOW. THIS IS FOR ANDROID 7.X (NOUGAT ONLY)
OK, quick backstory. Like the other link, none of this is my work and all the people whom I've worked with and confirmed each step of these instructions are working and validated are here:
spotting, clsA, Atarii, faizalotai, BonezMontana, schluk and Sheldd. This is NOT my work, this is the combination of all these guys help. Thank them! If you need any help, please post here. I'll help the best I can, but I've got a 15 month old and between changing diapers and RAGING FITS due to lack of Cheddar Goldfish, I spend my side time flashing like crazy. PLEASE assume all risk and responsibility when following the instructions below. If you mess up, ask for help. I'm not liable. Neither are the guys you should be thanking above for this!
Cheers!
This process assumes the following: You're on stock Android 7 (Nougat) with no modifications.
Basic steps are:
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash SuperSU
4. Fix your BT/NFC (if you have issues)
5. There is extra instruction here as well for AdAway and V4A (Viper4Android)
Unlock the bootloader
Follow this link to unlock your bootloader.
1. Go to Huawei's EMUI site and log in. If you need to create a new account, do so. Link here: http://www.emui.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download
2. Click on the DOWNLOAD link at the top of the site.
3. Underneath the search field you will see a green link that says "Unlock Bootloader". Click it and follow the instructions. You will be asked to enter in several pieces of information about your phone.
4. Once you've filled out all the information, you will receive your unlock code at the bottom of the screen. Write this down and save it. This number will NEVER change.
5. On your Honor 8, go to Settings > About and tap on the Build Number seven times until you unlock the Developer Settings.
6. In Developer Settings, check Enable OEM Unlock.
7. Scroll down a bit more and check USB Debugging.
8. Go to Huawei's site and download their HiSuite and install it. This installs the OFFICIAL Honor 8 USB driver. Link here: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/..._en/index.html Once the app is installed, you can unselect start with Windows under settings.
9. Plug in your Honor 8 with the provided USB cable. Give it about 45 seconds to install the driver and recognize it. You may need to go to your phone and tap on "Allow File Access". You will be presented with a question asking if you'd always like to trust the computer you just connected to. Select yes, if this is your primary computer you will be working with.
10. Now download the most up to date ADB drivers. A Google employee has created one link to get that and make it easy. Link here: https://developer.android.com/studio...orm-tools.html
11. Open the zip file you just downloaded and create a folder on your computer easy to get to (I recommend c:\ADB) and paste those files there so they are extracted.
12. Now open the folder up in Windows Explorer if you closed it and hold down the Shift key and RIGHT click in the open area and click "Open command window here"
13. Type adb devices and hit enter. You should see a device ID as a response in the window.
14. Type adb reboot bootloader and hit enter. Give it a couple of seconds and the phone will load the bootloader.
15. Now type fastboot devices and hit enter. You should see your device ID appear again.
16. LAST CHANCE before it wipes everything and unlocks the booloader!!! Type fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXX (where XXXXXXXXXX is the unlock code you received on step 4) and hit enter. It will ask if you're sure. Once this is done, the phone will wipe your data, unlock the phone and reboot. Your Honor 8's bootloader is now unlocked.

Click to collapse
Flash TWRP
Grab a working copy of TWRP here.
1. Download TWRP into the same folder you used in the steps above (where you're keeping all your files)
2. Navigate in Windows Explorer to this location and hold down the Shift key and RIGHT click in the open area and click "Open command window here"
3. Type adb devices and hit enter. You should see a device ID as a response in the window.
4. Type adb reboot bootloader and hit enter. Give it a couple of seconds and the phone will load the bootloader.
5. Now type fastboot devices and hit enter. You should see your device ID appear again.
6. Type fastboot flash recovery frd-twrp.img and hit enter.
7. Once this is complete, unplug your phone.
8. Hold Volume UP and Power at the same time. Release ONLY the Power button after the blue Honor logo appears.
9. You now are booted into TWRP and it's been successfully flashed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flash SuperSU
Download the SuperSU SPECIFICALLY FOR NOUGAT here.
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Once there, when asked to keep system read only? - swipe to allow modifications
3. Tap Install
4. Tap Select Storage - Select your SD card
5. Select the supersu file "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip"
6. Swipe to confirm flash
7. Ignore the multiple errors: "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
8. Go back to the main menu
9. Select Reboot to Recovery
10. When asked to keep system read only? - swiped to allow modifications (again)
11. Tap Wipe
12. Tap Format Data
13. Type YES then hit enter
14. It will format data using make_ext4fs..
15. When finished, tap Reboot System
16. Reboot back into TWRP
17. Swipe to allow modifications (You can check the box to never show this again)
18. Tap Install
19. Select storage
20. Select your SD card
21. Select the supersu file "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip"
22. Swipe to confirm flash
23. You should see NO ERRORS now when installing SuperSU
24. Wipe cache/dalvik
25. Swipe to wipe
26. Reboot system

Fix your BT/NFC (if you have issues)
Some people are stating that after flashing this fix that they lose their keyboard. I'm throwing up a link here to get the latest GBoard.apk file.
Follow these instructions to fix BT/NFC issues.
This file is for the FRD-L04 ONLY.
Instruction for AdAway
Follow these instructions to get AdAway working. This is only instruction, NOT where to download. I suggest F-Droid. Use Google.
Instruction for V4A (Viper4Android)
Follow these instructions to get Viper working on Nougat.
How multiple people have successfully gone back to MM if they have too many issues with Nougat.
Follow these instructions to get back to MM. Breathe.. it's actually not that bad at all.
You can find the OFFICIAL files to download on the Honor Support site located HERE.
Hi, i suggest removing the code tags and add the quote one instead so that people wont have to scroll down and scroll sideways too
Thanks for the sum-up! This thread gave me enough confidence to tweak my Honor8 on Nougat.
I'll try to get Adaway tonight, and will report any problems
EDIT: After flashing the update_data_full_hw_usa.zip to get BT and NFC, I only got NFC back. Can't turn on BT.
I reformated data to f2fs and reflashed supersu then update_data_full_hw_usa.zip but it's even worse, I don't have NFC. @joesee, any idea what went wrong?
=> considering a rollback now...

Yeah, there were a lot of people including myself that had issues with that not working unless we renamed that audio_effects.conf file. To test, I even tried the standard apk file to try to install because I really hate the new EQ layout of the version 2.5. It is such a pain in the butt to scroll over just to adjust a frequency!

Well I've went through this process three times myself back when I was trying to figure it out. There's at least two other threads that say the data partition needs formatted to f2fs. I don't know if the formatting of the data partition has anything to do with it or not to be honest because right now my data partition is ext4 and I don't have issues. Before you roll back, try doing a factory reset and just letting that process reformat on it's own and see if that resolves. If it does, I'll update the OP and just take that part out.
It was only put there because several people said that it was a better format and more efficient, so I'm not sure!

After the factory reset, NFC is back, but BT cannot be turned on.
From what I understood, do I need to make sure to have an ext4 data partition to rollback to MM ?

Okay thank you.
Just for information, it looks like my firmware version is now B320 while I had the B360 before. Probably due to the flashing of update_data_full_hw_usa.zip
Regarding the rollback procedure (which I'm doing for the 1st time), while everybody mention that i should put the dload folder in the sdcard, the huawei pdf document indicates that I should put it in the internal storage
Is huawei mistaken or am I mixing things?

Right now there's too many version of data full.zip, your's because of older version of full data.zip..
Just make sure its around 0.88mb for b360..

Either or will work for the dload folder. I've flashed both actually. Might be better to put it on the SD instead of internal so it's easier to format. Your choice, really.
Regarding the firmware versions, I think the OTA brought it up to 360 and that update data is a zip created from 320. Don't quote me on that, though.

I'd be curious to know because I'm on b320 right now. I haven't tried making a backup of my current ROM yet. I hope it doesn't fail. I've never been able to backup MM.

Sadly, it didn't work. I was in that case in which I have no keyboard, no apps and so on...
So I rollbacked to MM using Huawei's official packages.

Yes,
when rolling back to MM, I also noticed that TWRP was replaced by the stock recovery. I'm not yet certain but the bootloader is probably locked now.
I think I lost BT because i flashed a data zip prior to the firmware version I was using.
But I remain curious, I think i'll try to update to Nougat again and retry all of this again.
Please, link downloadable files directly. If You write a complete tutorial, the peoples won't need to read another one, to point a final link, where he at least download the suggested files.
Please, short this way.
For what it's worth, I only had to flash this file from TWRP to get the apps back and fix nfc and bt on my l04. It's the data file for the newest b360. http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...09/f1/full/hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip
Oh, the keyboard wasn't working... So I texted myself my email and password from my lady's phone, copied and pasted that in to get into the Play Store, opened up my apps and installed my favorite keyboard. Now to mess it up some more...

Thanks for sharing this. I'll update the OP with the newer b360 data file. I'm curious what the difference is between b320 and b360. Wonder if it's worth the effort to try to upgrade.
