EMUI 5.1 for Honor 8 [Semi-Confirmed]

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.

55$ for what FW?

yes FW install tool etc from FunkyHuawei

I can see new fw update b172 has any one tried it?

Couldn't we rebrand to AL00 using HWOTA method, then flash the update from FF? That said, what are the major differences with the AL00? I know typically Chinese ROMs are missing some things like Google Play ...

You rebrand to AL00 and flash the oreo update with hwota too. But remember that oreo is still beta. If you wanna root you can use twrp from mate 9 or honor 9.
Another user bricked his device while testing with flashing images with fastboot.
So take care.

Edit: yeah strike that, just got the message that the update is unauthorized..

Can see B152 for my VKY-LO9GBRC555 (3 UK) but it's unapproved for installation, is it the case that the same update will have a different numbers depending on model number (Love the phone so far but coming from Sony and Samsung phones this process seems crazy, hope that project treble improves things)?

Oh crap sorry. It so surprising. Honor India has always had a bad rep for giving out updates. Even in the old Honor 7 they didn't release any security patch after August whereas other models recieved more patches.

Thats the only fkin reason why i rebranded to L09.. Honor india suks when it comes to pushing out updates..

Yup. There is this career in India called Jio and they use a 4G only network. So for calls they use VoLTE. Unfortunately phones which aren't made for the Indian market (Like L04 and L09) aren't compatible with that network. Like they'll work but they need an app to call and calling doesn't work when the phone is on WiFi.
U might not have the option since ur carrier doesn't use it.

No Volte support for frd l04. I even tried a migisk module to enable volte but that aint working too..
But Jio sim is working. Cant use the stock dailer though. Have to use jiovoice to make calls and always have to enable location to recieve calls.. Its annoying but have to live with it .

I bought Honor device as because they provided us guarantee for 2 years of software updates and will provide all security updates after 2 years.... But i think they all are only for canvasing the product.
Atleast they can provide security patch for India model. Honor 8 lite is also being running on 1st January 2018 security patch. Lol wtf... Y they are not providing their promise for Indian models.
I read in an article about Nokia 8 that HMD started rolling out Android 8.1 for their device....
And we are still running Android 7.0 with 1 year old security patch....?

Huawei/Honor should not ignore indian consumers like this if they want to succeed in India. No updates or security patches since september. they should learn from xiaomi which is still providing updates for its 4-5 years old devices.

Always use full-ota update (around 2gb). And there's no update with April Security patch yet. The one with March security patch hasn't rolled out officially too.

The April patch is on FF but neither that or march are approved yet

There also a newer build, b368.
And I don't think it's approved yet.
Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 using XDA Labs

Received via OTA last Monday (4/16) with my rebranded mate 9. Worked like a charm.

Updated to MHA-L29C636B368 using HWOTA8 without issue.

I think there are some optimizations included in B366.[Optimization] not like in B368 [Security]

B368 is officially out.
Also, there is b371 on firmware finder, which has face unlock feature.

Actually, thats what i said. 368 is already out.
The one that I mention on FF is b371, which has face unlock feature. So you don't need Magisk Module anymore to use face unlock feature.
But, still gonna have to wait until it approved or release via ota.
Btw, mine got 2 patch which explained the big size as i still on b362. Too busy to update.
