In the guide, Method 2,
3) Now download all three update, data, and public files (make sure you rename the files as mentioned above) and copy them either in the external SDCard inside HWOTA folder or in the PC in the C:\..\HWOTA\update folder.
4) Run the update.bat file as an administrator, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.

1. if I copy the 3 files in SD Card, do I put it in /SDCard/HWOTA or /SDCard/HWOTA/Update ? Why the folders are different in sdcard or pc?
2. If I have all the files copied in the SD card, do I run the script directly from the SD card? or I have to put it somewhere on the pc and run it as admin?
- 2. I tried running the update.bat from pc and it works.

Hello,
Please advise hot to update my Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L09CO2B102 to OREO.
Currently Stock Rooted EMUI 5.1 - Android 7.0 - TWRP 3.1.0-0 - root Superuser Koushik.
Did not update since purchase in June 2017. No security updates as well. I deactivated the updater.
Now I would like to update to OREO, update TWRP, and root.
I have TWRP - is it not possible to copy files to SD card and update?

[guide]working downgrade method (emui 8 to emui 5.1) for honor 8 pro

Hi,
So many of us are not happy with the oreo rom of Honor 8 Pro (C675). Those who looking forward to downgrade from Oreo to nougat just follow the steps. (This method is tested and is working. I just finished downgrading and is working perfectly fine. I just want to share this method with you guys. Also this i my first post in the forum. Some steps have been copied from a previous post by xfact)
Things you might need :-
>>A computer
>>At least 8GB memory card.
>>An unlocked bootloader. (you can relock it later)
>>Download the necessary files here :- [The Dload file was previously shared in this forum by xfact, but the link is not working now. Fortunately, I downloaded the file while it was available and I am providing the link to the google drive backup.]
REMOVE THE *** IN BETWEEN THE URL'S
(a) Dload File --- https***://***drive.google.com/open?id=1ZpOoPZ3dEn86lEh0PwlZP0W2LShM-BnT
(b) Recovery File --- https***://***drive.google.com/file/d/1qiP4k5HtJ3VR5l9ac8FnpxrwryIxu-pV/view?usp=sharing
(c) ADB platform tools --- https***://***drive.google.com/open?id=1vu-awRNjH3B9os5MuHGSlu-ca6zNv10V
>>Unzip the above-mentioned Dload file, then go to the folder, then software>dload folder and unzip the 'SDupdate_Package.tar.gz' with 7-Zip. It will extract another archived file called 'SDupdate_Package.tar'. Now unzip that too with 7-Zip and you will get a folder called 'dload' again.
>>Now take an SD card with at least 8 Gb of space, format it to exFAT. Paste the last 'dload' folder and all its contents at the root directory of that SD card. Put it into your phone.
>>To unlock the bootloader, just log into---- https***://***bit.ly/2uEEvdj
This is their chinese website, use translator in chrome to read in english.
Fill up the necessary details and you will get an unlock code for your device.
>>Follow the necessary steps to unlock your bootloader from here :- https***://***bit.ly/2uEM1F8
>>After unlocking the bootloader, your phone will be factory reset. When the phone boots up again, go to settings and enable USB Debugging from devoloper options.
>>Unzip the platform tools zip file and copy the Recovery file into that folder.( you have to unzip the platform tools file while unlocking the bootloader. Just copy the recovery image to that folder)
>>Holding the SHIFT key, right click any empty spaces in the folder and from the menu that appears, select "Open command window here"
>>Connect your handset. Ensure USB debugging prompt appeared as seen in the bootloader unlocking tutorial.
>>In the command window type the following commands :-
1. adb devices
(this is to make sure your device is connected properly)
2.adb reboot bootloader
(to put your device into fastboot mode)
3.fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk DUK-RECOVERY_RAMDISK_NoCheck.img
(to flash the recovery image)
4. fastboot reboot
>>When the device boots up, go to the dialer, type *#*#2846579#*#*
->Click on Software Upgrade -> SDcard upgrade->confirm.
Your phone will recognise the memory card with dload file in it. It will flash the rom. It will get stuck at 99% and shows error. Dont worry, just select reboot system option that appears on the screen.
You will be on the Nougat Rom
To relock the bootloader--
>>Again you have to enable USB debugging from devoloper options>>open command window from the platform tools folder>> execute the commands 1 and 2.
Then type the following command :-
fastboot oem relock *unlock key*
(replace *unlock key* with your unlock key used for bootloader unlock)
YOUR DEVICE WILL BE ON NOUGAT ROM WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER
As this is my first post, kindly ignore the errors. Sorry if this lengthy post made any confusion. Hope this is helpful to all of you.

[GUIDE] [MAGISK] Root stock Oreo B520 B521 B562

DISCLAIMER: I will not be responsible of any issues you could face following this how-to. You do it at your own risk!​
Here is a guide to root Honor 8 B521 Oreo. I did this on FRD-L09C432B521. Even if i think the "easy method" should work with other iteration of the phone (L02, L19, ...), I am not sure ramdisk is the same for all so test it if you feel lucky and please report if it works or not.
Requirements:
- Honor 8 running Oreo
- Unlocked Bootloader
- adb and fastboot installed on your computer (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/alpha-adb-fastboot-installer-windows-t3637255 (Hit the thanks button)
Long method: (should work for all honor 8)​
1 -- Visit http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ and search your exact build (FRD-L09C432B521 for me). If you have several phones listed for your build, click the name of the build on the left. This will open an xml file on the first line of which you will see the exact model it is for.
2 -- Once you know which firmware is yours, click on "filelist". This will list the files for this build and theirs url. Copy the link pointing to "update.zip" (http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v159456/f1/full/update.zip for me). Decompress it wherever you want.
3 -- Download and run Huawei Update Extractor (Hit the thanks button) . Untick "verify header checksum" in "settings" tab.
4 -- In the "extract" tab, click on "..." and select "update.app" in the previously "update.zip" decompressed folder.
5 -- Files from "update.app" should now be listed. Find "ramdisk" and right click on it. Choose "extract" and you will be able to save the file wherever you want. Copy this file on your phone.
6 -- On your phone: Go to Magisk thread (Hit the thanks button) and download the latest magisk manager. Install it. Grant permission to the manager to access your storage in phone settings > applications.
7 -- Run Magisk Manager, it will ask you if you want to install the zip. Select "Yes". It will now ask if you want to flash the zip or to patch a boot image, choose this last one. Point to the ramdisk img you previously copied on your phone. Magisk manager will now patch it and create a new "patched_boot.img" file. Copy this on your computer.
8 -- On your computer: Open a command prompt where you copied "patched_boot.img". Enter the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader (your phone will reboot in bootloader mode)
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
9 -- Your phone will now reboot and be rooted. To unroot, repeat the process (8) with your stock ramdisk (the one extracted with Huawei Update Extractor)
Easy method​
If your build is FRD-L09C432B521, FRD-L02C432B521, FRD-L04C567B520 or FRD-L09C432B562, you can use these already patched ramdisk.img.

On your computer: Open a command prompt where you downloaded "patched_RAMDISKL09B521.img" (or L02/L04 ramdisk) .
Enter the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader (your phone will reboot in bootloader mode)
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_RAMDISKLXXBXXX.img (the exact name depends of the ramdisk you downloaded)
fastboot reboot
Your phone will now reboot
Go to Magisk thread (Hit the thanks button) and download the latest magisk manager. Install it.
You now got root. To unroot, repeat the process with stock ramdisk.

You can indeed use twrp but as it is not completely functional yet, some people don't use it. Besides, Open Kirin suggest to flash their rom with fastboot so it limits the interest of having twrp.

Sorry, I forgot a step. After you flashed the patched ramdisk, go to Magisk thread (Hit the thanks button) and download the latest magisk manager. Install it. This should work then. Please tell me if it helped.
OP edited with this new step.

Worked great here for FRD-04, one thing to add
You may have to restart your phone to be able to see the patched file via MTP in order to copy it to your PC.

Hallo! Is it possible to root my FRD-L09 Honor 8 Oreo this way too? And after then can I flash/install a Stock Version with Emui 5 Android 7 Nougat and then un-root again? I need my device unrooted, because of SkyGo App (Germany) doesnt work with rootet Devices ...
If theres another way to downgrade without these operations, please let me know and maybe show me the steps for that?! Thank you so much!

OneUI 4 Beta Update Link - India (Beta 2 Update is live - Dec Security Patch)

Prerequisite to flash beta on N20U (N986B) thanks to
dr.ketan​
You need to be on November Security patch before moving ahead.
Dial *#1234#
If your info is ditto same as said below then only you can flash beta 1 for N986B
AP : N986BXXS3DUJ6
CSC : N986BOXM3DUH5
CP : N986BXXS3DUIF
Also if your device is rooted/modified, it will fail. (unlocked bootloader isn't issue but firmware must be complete stock)
TLDR instructions, thanks to pernodpepper
0. Create backup of your device (SmartSwitch)
1. Download .bin
2. Rename update.zip
3. Place file on SDCard
4. Go to recovery (No odin/download mode required)
5. Select Apply update from SDCard and choose update.zip
6. Profit
Detailed instructions along with multiple methods to install. Thanks to Evil_Smiley_za and @AhmedMomen
UPDATE:
-This thread will be for sharing tips and help and update.zip/.bin files (when/if available) for the OneUI 4.0 Android 12 Beta for the Galaxy Note 20 series (Unlocked/Exynos)
Installation Methods:
ADB-method:
1. Download SDK platform tools https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Extract the file in your desktop.
3. Inside the extracted folder put the update.zip file
4. Inside this folder, holding left shift, right click the mouse and select "open command prompt here". The command prompt will open.
5. Shutdown your phone and connect it to the pc
6. Holding Power and volume+ and enter into recovery mode.
7. Select "update via ADB". (scroll down using the volume buttons and select using the power button).
8. Connect the phone to a PC using an original samsung USB cable.
9. In the command prompt run the following command:
./adb devices
10. Wait to see that the daemon has started and that your device is found.
11. If you device is found, run the following command:
./adb sideload update.zip
SD-card method:
1. Download the bin file and rename it to update.zip (by going to file options on your pc you can select to view the file extensions. This makes the renaming process much easier and safer, and avoids renaming the file to update.zip.zip)
2. Copy it to the root directory of your SDcard.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Connect any USB device to your device, AKG earphones could work, then press Power and volume+ buttons to get into recovery mode.
5. Using your volume keys navigate to "update via sdcard" and press power button to select it.
6. Again using volume keys navigate to the file "update.zip" and press power button to select it.
7. Update will start. Leave it till it completes installing. It will take some time.
8. Phone will reboot by itself and load android.
The update process will start. You will see a percentage counting. First it will verify, then patch etc. Do not move the cable, disconnect the phone or power off the PC.
Once the process is completed (it takes some time) the phone will boot itself, update the apps and log into your home screen.
There are two methods that you can use to get into recovery mode
Method 1:
1. Connect your phone to your PC (Make sure USB debugging is on).
2. Using ADB, enter the command ./adb reboot recovery
3. Wait a little and you should be in recovery mode.
Method 2:
1. Power off your device
2. Connect your device to a PC or use the AKG earphones.
3. Hold down Power+VolumeUp buttons and keep pressing them until you enter recovery mode.
This will not trip knox if done by the methods above
Don't install a beta unless you are fully aware what you are going into.
Don't install the beta if you want your phone to be stable, IT'S a BETA.
It's recommended to make a backup of your data before updating to the Android 12 Beta.
Important Notes:
-Rename the .bin file to update.zip in order to be able to flash it from recovery.
-A common mistake done by some people is that they see the file named update while its a WinRAR.zip file already, then they add another .zip making the name of the file update.zip.zip which will not be flashed successfully, So make sure you do it right.
-Updating to the beta is AT YOUR RISK, No one is responsible if anything goes wrong.
You will not receive OTAs again UNTIL you are on a firmware that gets released later for your original CSC, thats most likely not happening before the BETA is over.

Awesome

Can someone share the installation process please

Most probably you will have to flash it using Odin but I wouldn't guarantee that. Wait for some time till some modders here figure out a way.

You need to use an sdcard and place the zip there

By any chance do you have Update.zip file for SM-G986B??
