Dumb question: I can't install the latest BND-AL10 on my BND-L21 phone right? There are some hardware restrictions, or something like that?
Because I swiped my OS accidently three weeks ago, and I don't have other phone so... If I can have basic functions of the Honor 7X waiting for the official BND-L21 STOCK ROM, it's ok for me.
Thanks a lot, sorry for this stupid question...

Why does the Firmware Finder not show the BND-L24C567B130 update?
I installed this OTA update on my new L24, but didn't think to capture the update.zip at the time.

You meant this sleek? How to get Indian AL10 worth Google play? The

Clarification ---
I had an Honor 7x BND-L24 but because I could not find stock firmware I returned it as I was afraid to root it without being able to restore to factory reset version.
So if I understand from your post, I can use another firmware set and it will work just fine by following your steps?
1. What firmware do you suggest we use?
2. In one of your posts you mentioned - "Make backup of other Partitions and follow the guide same way" - How is this accomplished?
If I can find a way to root this phone and then factory reset it, I would buy it again.

Manual Update to Oreo Beta EMUI 8 BND-L21 Users (Europe Variant)

Hey Guys,
i just wanted to share the manual update and to Oreo Beta with you. Since i struggled a long time to find the right thing, i just want to have it in one thread for you all.
First of all you need a BND-L21 Honor7X that's bootloader is unlocked!
Step by Step - flashing EMUI 8 Oreo BETA:
- Download and flash the TWRP Image (credits to Sudeep)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_openkirin_sudeep.img
- Download all the files and put them on your SDCard in your Honor7X´(credits to Eduardo Alonso)
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_BND-L21C_hw_eu.zip
BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img
- Boot into TWRP and go to Advanced > Terminal
Now we do the method (credits to olddroid)
- Type in these commands:
Code:
dd if=/external_sd/BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
dd if=/external_sd/BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery2
- If those went well type these as next:
Code:
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_full_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_full_BND-L21C_hw_eu.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
(Those Arrows (>) and lines (-) are important! Keep them as in command given!)
- If those went well aswell type:
Code:
reboot recovery
- It will try to install the new Oreo EMUI 8 BETA update
- If it's done Reboot to Recovery (Both Volume Keys + Power) and do a factory reset with Stock Recovery
- Be happy with your EMUI 8 on L21!

Thank you for this!
To clarify this is the full official firmware package for BND-L21 8.0.0.302(C432log). So other update methods like dload should work as well. If you're already rooted you can skip the TWRP step and just create the recovery commands as root.
I skipped the factory reset without issues so far when updating from BNDL21C432B102.
The only issue for me is that Magisk no longer works, that is the boot crashes (loops) with some undefined symbol error. Is it working for anybody on Oreo on the 7x?

Thanks for your tutorial. Upgrading from BNDL21C432B102 worked like a charm.

This method work on BND-L21C432B123 and unlocked bootloader and twrp a must?
Anybody try via stock recovery dload from SD ..thanks

And yes, as an C432 Device u could skip the factory reset, but its not recommended. If you have any errors, just reset it.

Hi !
Thanks for the update!
Is it necessary to have an official ROM backup If so, how do you make one with TWRP or if there are others hanging out on the Internet?
Thanks a lot !

Does the display scaling still work properly unlike the mate 10 which only changes certain parts on Emui 8 ie notification panel and icons

Since it's a Beta, its not Stable as a Stable release Lol. But it seems to be pretty stable i guess. Many say its perfect.
I personally dont use Emui 8 i went straight to RRos. But i may go back to Emui.

It is not necessary! But since no L21 Firmware (except Oreo) is released yet, i dont think there is and cuz' Emui encrypts the internal storage its not easy to make one.

Dont exactly get what you're asking for. But i recommend to look in other Beta threads for that.

[Guide] Rebrand to Chinese FW and take the Oreo update

With the Oreo update out, several Honor 8 users have become impatient and want to install the update in advance of their regional releases. This guide will help you accomplish this. I won't be held responsible for any damage to your device including but not limited to bricks, explosions, etc.
Before you upgrade, ensure that
Your bootloader is unlocked. Rebranding involves flashing modified recovery images which isn't possible with a locked bootloader.
You're on a dual SIM device. Chinese FW don't support single SIM devices and you'll lose your IMEI, hence no cellular connection. It is possible however to upgrade to Oreo with SIM working but there are some trade-off(s), read the last section.
Oreo FW doesn't include GApps. However, they can be downloaded from the Huawei AppMarket (comes pre-installed).
The FW is still in beta. Bugs are to be expected. Just know this isn't the place for that.
Step I - Rebrand to Chinese FW
Let us get started. Our first job is to rebrand to Chinese FW. Piece of cake. Just follow the steps below, precisely:
Backup any important data, especially those precious cat photos.
Download this file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eQHOfsCidKhE6AxXZKHkwwjfqYEEjCR6. Extract the archive and place the .img inside in your SD card or Internal Phone storage.
Download the two No-Check recoveries and place them in the root of your Internal Phone storage:
Code:
Recovery 1: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SPRmBNsTefSWZLSWxpWGd6QkE
Recovery 2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SPRmBNsTefSVhxMWFoa01wams
Download Chinese B396 Nougat FW and copy them to /data/update/HWOTA/ folder (create folders if they don't exist):
Code:
Main Update File: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v143478/f1/full/update.zip
Customization File: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v143481/f1/full/FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip
Reboot your device to TWRP. Navigate to Install > Install Image > Select the .img file > Check OEMINFO as the partition to flash the .img to. Start the install process and wait for it to finish. Don't reboot the device after installation.
We'll now install the modified recoveries. Using either TWRP's terminal or ADB Shell (as root 'su'), execute the following:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/FRD_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_a
dd if=/sdcard/FRD_RECOVERY2_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery2_a
Let's prepare the installation of the FW. In the same TWRP terminal or ADB Shell, execute the following:
Code:
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
Reboot your device to recovery from TWRP. This time, the device will reboot to NoCheck recovery and start the installation process.
Step II - Flash the Oreo update
The steps to flash to Oreo are same as rebranding. You'll follow the exact same steps as above, keeping the following things in mind:
Your bootloader might relock after the update. Unlock it and flash TWRP again.
There is no need to reflash the OEMINFO file as we've already done that, so skip it.
Instead of installing B396 FW, we'll flash the Oreo firmware. At the time of writing of this guide the latest available firmware was B511:
Code:
Main Update File: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v142251/f1/full/update.zip
Customization File (Public): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v142251/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Customization File (OEM): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v142251/f1/full/FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip
You'll copy the above files to /data/update/HWOTA. Also, modify the commands executed in Step 7 to:
Code:
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_data_full_public.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
Reboot your device and tada, you're on Oreo, yum, yum!
The alternate way for Single SIM users
It is the same as the above mentioned steps. Follow only Step 2, don't flash the OEMINFO file. However there are some trade-offs like:
The customization file won't flash due to region mismatch so you'll be left with a borked installation i.e. only some system apps, no keyboard, no app store, broken build number, non-working themes, etc. etc.
Remember, we did it all for that pesky SIM so don't complain.
If you face any errors, don't hesitate to slap me in the comments below. I'm waiting...

For models of phones FRD-L09 & L19 - this will be the bricks when upgrading to Oreo. You need to go to the FRD-DL00C00.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll make it clear in the guide.
EDIT: The guide is updated with DL00 firmware links.

I made it easier to upgrade to Oreo on FRD-L19. Being on 7 Android, changed the location of the phone on FRD-dl00, updated to FRD-dl00c00b396 and via Hwota8 installed FRD-dl00c00b511 (8.0.0.511). Through Magisk v 16.4 got Ruth right.

Great. You can get GApps Huawei AppMarket. Since we don't have TWRP, you can't flash zip files.

App market is not installed on this firmware..

Can you verify the firmware installed correctly, like is the build number correct. Regardless, you cam grab the market from http://a.vmall.com/uowap/index.html

in fact, to install Oreo I had to install it via redlotus, even the Chinese firmware installed with redlotus .. because following your guide, got to the point of restarting from recovery after having put all the codes the phone did not start the installation ..

Can someone post some video about the update and features?

To install Oreo from the Chinese Firmware, I recommend using HuRUpdater, since it is much simpler and faster.
Here's how to do it:
Just create a folder in the sdcard with these 4 files:
HuRUpdater_0.3.zip (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279)
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip (rename it to: update_all_hw.zip)
update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip (rename it to: update_data_public.zip)
IN TWRP:
You only need to flash the HuRUpdater file, the other 3 files will be installed automatically.
Restart Your Device.
You're on oreo.
Before installing Oreo remember that there are no Custom Recovery for this Firmware so you will not be able to flash anything.
(Tested on Honor 8 FRD-L09 with Chinese firmware.)

You're installing firmware for DL00 but the oeminfofile you provided with the first link is for AL10. Won't that cause any problem?

[TUTORIAL-easiest] Rebranding to L19 C10 (Russian, EU) for Oreo update + video

Hi, I will show you the most easiest way to get oreo update (emui 8).
you must have installed twrp and unlocked bootloader.
1. Download this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3470823
2. Press 7 then 9, next 7 and 5.
3. Now download 2 files: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1276/g104/v64076/f1/full/update.zip thanks to @jithendrav83
https://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92135 <- first
4. flash it by dload method
thats all. Now update your phone by huawei built-in updater or firmware finder.
But for me the best option is unlocking bootloader again, root then flashing by this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
(method 2)

As you wrote, then the update will wait forever.
At this location you can, because. on the Russian version in the folder "cust" is your region. I recommend that you visit the Russian forum 4PDA.RU

As per my guide, you only lose it if you're rebranding to AL/DL (chinese). Rebranding from L02, L04 to L09 is perfectly safe (I'm running L09C10 on my L04)

So best way to get Oreo on L04 is to rebrand with this method and redlotus to the Russian EU firmware and everything will work?

Hi,
I rebranded FRD-L02 to FRD-L19C10 and tried above steps. Installed Oreo by redlotus method. But got "data corrupted" menu and I formatted data. Now phone won't boot. Then I tried unlocking bootloader and phone booted. But sw version still shows B95 and its on Oreo. Looks like cust/region part is not flashed. Tried installing Twrp 3.2.1.0 and the one in Multi-tool, but phone won't boot to recovery. Its going into error mode. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

If you look at the XML File you used for the RedLotus method, you can see that there are two versions in it (L09C10 and L19C10). I suppose that's the reason why it's bugging for you.
Don't know for sure though. Trying that method now too, will report back if that's really the problem.

Why redlotus? Do it as in tutorial. Download three packages then flash by tutorial in my thread.(link is there). I meant flashing by modified Huawei recovery.

To rebrand, you need an unlock bootloader.
1. Download the C10 oeminfo file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VtOeGQ9GnKvcSVgraPP6-go6HCRbpyBB/view?usp=drivesdk. It is a zip file, extract it to find an img file. Reboot to TWRP and select Install Image and install the file to oeminfo partition.
2. Perform a complete factory reset in TWRP.
3. Download the latest Nougat (3 files package) for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Flash it using HuRupdater https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...l-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/.
4. After the flash is complete, reboot the device, unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP.
5. Download the latest Oreo build for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Using HuRupdater flash the three Oreo firmware files. Don't perform a factory reset this time.
6. Reboot your device. You're now on Oreo.

1. Download the C10 oeminfo file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VtOeGQ9GnKvcSVgraPP6-go6HCRbpyBB/view?usp=drivesdk. It is a zip file, extract it to find an img file. Reboot to TWRP and select Install Image and install the file to oeminfo partition.
2. Perform a complete factory reset in TWRP.
3. Download the latest Nougat (3 files package) for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Flash it using HuRupdater https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...l-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/.
4. After the flash is complete, reboot the device, unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP.
5. Download the latest Oreo build for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Using HuRupdater flash the three Oreo firmware files. Don't perform a factory reset this time.
6. Reboot your device. You're now on Oreo.

Doesn't work for me. Always results in a bootloop with "Your device is unlocked..." etc.
Same with RedLotus too. I don't know if it's the firmware you linked or the recoveries, but ehh... nah, probably gonna go back to where I was before.

I tried out some of the EMUI 8 TWRP's that I could find but none works for the Honor 8 yet.
Would be grateful for a working one too.

Just to be clear, since I prefer not to f this up...this will pretty much let me rebrand from FRD-L04 without the need for a computer correct? Also these step you've laid out don't require any of the steps posted in the OP?

Rebranding to FRD-L09c10 OREO (russian)

I have found this tutorial in the comments of a tread, and it worked for me, so I decided to bring this tutorial in a new tread so everybody can easily see it:

Will I Be Able To Install Unapproved Updates With HurUpdater?

@SuperSwordSmasher Yes you can install every stock firmwares.

@immichao - can you correct the links as they do not work

Deleted

Just updated the links

About GSIs, there are special GSI for Kirin devices. And don't worry they'll be released by the OpenKirin team with support for Honor 8 shortly.

Wait On Step 3, Could Of You Just Put TWRP As "recovery.img" And Flash It And Have TWRP Still?
Does The Open Kirin 3.1.1 TWRP Work On Oreo. It Works On Nougat, But Will It Work On Oreo?
Link To The TWRP You Used For Oreo Pls

I flashed Oreo onto my FRD-L04C567 using these instructions and now my device will not connect to LTE. It stays on 3g HSPA. Do you know how to reactivate the LTE radios?
