Hi guys, i was googling about Android O for Honor 8 information (because i want to hope that Honor keep their promises), and my searching lead me to this website with some info about EMUI 5.1 instead. They say that this list (i will attach it below) is confirmed by Honor but i can't tell you if that's true...however, if it is we're going to get EMUI 5.1 and still on Nougat (so probably no Android O). What do you think? Can we trust that we'll miss O and get 5.1? We'll get both? Or miss both? Feel free to share your toughts.
We will miss both ?

We will get none, they want to sell more of the new phones, thus force obsoleted Honor 8s
They can't even provide timely updates for the Android security patches so how are we to expect to receive Android O? EMUI 5.1 I couldn't care less about. EMUI 5 is fine (nothing more) as long as you use a custom launcher.

EMUI 5 & 5.1 are almost same. EMUI 6 will be android O and Huawei has promised to keep us updated for 2years at least. & btw we got the android N update before other phones :angel:

They promised to keep us updated with latest android version. I have been using Huawei for 3 years. Trust me they always keep their promise. :angel::good:

I just found those info on the web as i sad in the op, however in my opinion every update wich aims to enhance the user experience and the overall use of a phone is always welcome. In this case i'd prefer Android O, but apart this anything else useful is welcome too. I agree with the fact that they didn't provide monthly security patches (that's bad) but it's an Honor fault as on the Huawei side the old P8 is still receiving security patches...but i'm new to Huawei/Honor so i'll trust users who own their devices since more time than me... Finally Honor promised 24 months of updates... we just have to hope for the best. The H8 is a very good phone, i'm very satisfied with it, would really be a shame if the software side (i mean frequent/qualitative updates) can't be as good as the hardware side
Just received B340 update weighing about 340MB which fixes Jio VoLTE calls and bumps the Security patch to July 5. Still no 7.1 though. Hope Huawei updates this to atleast O before abandoning this awesome phone. To give a thought, I recently purchased dual Sim LG G6 which was comparatively laggy and not as smooth as Honor 8 and had March Sec. Update. And I didnt received a single update till the time I had it with me.

I don't why you're waiting full ROM packages are available you can download and run a oocal update

Yes you're right.
But i wanted as a normal user to get access to this feature.
For now, i still cannot get any update and i got a funny answer from Honor support.
They told me that i have to go to Serbia if i wants to update my honor since i bought it there last year.
But i lives in africa now lol.
So the only remaining solution is the local update when i will finally find the right procedure.

The right procedure would be
Make a backup of all your data, contacts, apps etc using Huawei hisuite.
Download the firmware you want to upgrade to and extract to get UPDATE.APP
Copy it to a folder named dload in your SD card and press and hold power, Vol up and Vol down until phone boots up. Let go of power after booting but keep other two pressed for five six sec more.
It will do a forced upgrade and you will lose all your stuff. Boot into Android, update Huawei backup app and restore your backup using hisuite and you are done.
Hope it helps.
looks clear.
Thank you very much muradulislam
Still in beta. It's not a big of a change from lollipop
sorry folks but after reviewing all my experience with MM (B380) i recommend to update with Lollipop B180 (B190 if available) only!
With B380 it is possible, that you will get some trouble with it! At the moment, B380 was removed from the support side of HONOR!
Maybe it has a reason!
That's a bit sad to hear. But it's full of sense. Thank you.

Most of the users that i know (me included!), did not confirm that!
i own two Honor 7. I tried MM on one of them for four weeks. After this period, i have done a rollback to B190 Lollipop.
Since this moment, all my problems are gone! I could not believe, that HONOR will bring us an trouble-free version of MM.
Really strange that Huawei remains unable to deliver a clean Os. Such a big company with that quality of phones !

i didn’t understand your friendly offer! I had used MM on my phone, so i was able to install MM on it! But i have get the same notification problem with "WhatsApp"
as the other users have reported here! And some of my apps have stopped their work during the night. I had protected these apps against termination in the energy manager, but it doesn't help! I think, it is a problem of the build in MM "deep sleep" functionality! And yes, i had made a factory reset in the beginning of my experiences.
But thx anyway!

Once you get the notification for system update on your phone, it will automatically be available on Hisuite.
Make sure to back up user data before flashing any update as you may need to manually perform a factory reset before using the new update. I own an FRD-L14 US version and i am on the latest update for my model thanks to Huawei Pc suite. All other methods always fail after 5 - 10%.
To update using Hisuite, simply launch the PC software and click on update after properly connecting your phone. I have been referring to only the PC version as i can't vouch for the phone software.
NB: Don't forget to flash stock boot and recovery if you've modified your device prior to using Hisuite otherwise it'll fail after reboot to recovery.
Best of luck, Cheers!

thanks for awesome guide i will definetly try this:good::highfive:
You will get the OTA some weeks later. Until then, you will not be able to flash the update through any official means (like using HiSuite, TWRP, erecovery, etc.). If your bootloader is unlocked, try my "Flashing unapproved Firmwares" guide for Honor 8 in Guides section. It will work flawlessly.
Did anyone already successfully manage to install e.g FRD-L19C432B399 ?
I tried dload, Red_lotus and flashing with FRD_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img
Yet it always tells me "installation failed" Is there anything i can do to get it work?
I am coming from B398 and need this battery optimization update or I will sell my phone..

sorry about the late reply, but yes 12hr battery global. for screen on time i get 4-5hrs usually, i just got this phone a few months ago as a FRD-L04. i rebranded because of how slow updates come out on the L04, which was my real only complaint with this phone. battery life is awesome and emui is sleek and nice compared to other OEM android roms.
i don't really care for much about SOT because my whole goal is to minimize that as much as possible. i use a moto 360 daily so most of my notifications are going to my watch and my phone stays in my pocket.
other than that, this update is just a security patch.

Yes i did, using MHA-AL00 and MHA-AL00C00 and none of them work. I can download the files but when i chec firmware access it says "not approved for installation". I wrote to the chinese support because of the HICare where you can see the quote of 20.000 but its always 0/20.000 i have tried every hour, hoping it will be reset and the quote will return to 20.000/20000 but nothing. Its a fake in my eyes. I guess they want to wait a few weeks/month before they release Oreo for the Mate 9 because to be honest, if Oreao would be available already for the Mate 9, there is no reason to buy the Mate 10, specially for those who have the MHA.AL00.

You'll have to install using HWOTA. Just flashing in TWRP won't do anything.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Bootloader will lock when you've finished installing, so no need to relock manually.
guess quota was reset, downloading it now
Can not add my google account or any account. sucks

OK managed it. Nice
It shows quota full for me. I have a L29 rebranded to AL00. How's the update situation for you guys.
finished update without any issues, kinda love it already but will give it couple of days to check performance and battery life, not sure if rebranded will take OTA updates

That's right, using Hi Care, couldn't be easier. I was a little upset because the context menu did not work but it was just because it had been reset to the default launcher. I use NOVA because i love to touch any app and a menu opens offering me: uninstall, remove, setup etc. That was the mayor reason to change to Nougat because i really loved Marshmallow. But now everything works fine, Gmail etc. I am happy. My wife is upset because she has the Samsung S8 and they will not release an update to OREO until it comes with the S9. I would never again buy me a Samsung mobile.
My google Play store did not work anymore, uninstall the one you have and use this one

True lol. I think there's maybe one more security patch and then we should be receiving the Oreo update, since I saw Honor recently tweet about Oreo preparation for the Honor 7x.
Yup I finally got it. Looks like it is rolling out to everyone today.

Lol. I know one of the devs for Honor USA and there is NO Oreo release for the 7x for main distribution yet. They just started the beta a month ago. Go check honor USA beta group on Facebook if you need confirmation.

Honestly I see no difference
Hi guys,
I just got this update too on my FRD L04. Since it's been a while I factory reset after an update, I did so to clean up my phone of all the other junk I've been stacking. Well this was a huge mistake because now the my bluetooth earphone won't connect to my phone. Before factory resetting, and on B392 it worked perfectly fine, I don't know why and how the factory reset messed with the Bluetooth connectivity. Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.
guys, i'm desperate. is there are guide that i can use to downgrade from Pie to Oreo ? i can't use the phone on Pie, hating it and i miss using it. Can someone link a thread or a guide that I can use to downgrade from Pie to Oreo? willing to root :crying:
Nope

Excuse me, but pie is running fine, perhaps try to reset the phone with formatting the cache. Did you update to the November patch N935f??

It's running fine agreed but not as good as it was on Oreo...
Yeah I've done everything, I'm getting around 3.5 hours of sot too which is great but I just don't like pie.
And I haven't updated to the November patch yet. Is there any improvement with the patch?

I guess a bit of battery life but that's subjective since i don't follow the numbers. no difference i see.

Battery life is not the problem here it's the overall experience with pie that I think doesn't suit the Fe. How I dread updating it. Both my Note 8 and 9 are on Oreo... Thankfully and I ain't updating them... No way

I don't see what's so great about oreo in FE. I feel the changes in pie made the interface more easy to use and practical. But don't you just flash the official oreo from sammobile?? Samsung isn't like apple that verifies firmwares, or have things changed?!

Oreo was better with battery and the overall experience for the phone was better. For me at least.
I've tried flashing Oreo but yes Samsung does sign the firmware so once you update a particular boot version it's impossible to go back. You can but you'll end up losing signals and Wi-Fi.
Which is why it's useless to downgrade. I'm still looking for a way but the closest is to lose Wi-Fi and phone signals.
I'm using my 8 until I find a solution but miss the Fe
