Honor 8 [oreo] discussion thread [noob friendly] - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Has anyone received the approved Oreo firmware on their devices? If so, any notable bugs?

Well, i think apart Russian and Chinese models no one else has reveived Oreo. Also because it will be initially avaible from 31 July in Italy, then i guess, the rest of Europe.

please remove this thread..
don't make another spam thread about oreo
if you want to get oreo just open threads that WERE made for it. If not, just wait for it to come

I like the idea of a thread that isn't littered with a load of tech geniuses engaging in baffling conversations about flashing Oreo via root software that I will never understand or attempt to use. I only run stock firmware and appreciate conversation about the progress of the rollout and a simple 'noob' thread makes sense to me. Just my opinion.

You Guys Have To Wait Now, Since It July 31st To See When They Release It, maybe a specific time?

Woohoo, finally oreo!

someone else had posted something similar also for the T280 in the development thread (one of those either by jedid or ashyx). It turned out be a 5.0.1 (for some reason was incorrectly listed as 6.0.1) Not sure if this is the real thing or the same incorrect listing

I got a bug fix and security patch (Jan '17) update a few days ago, still lollipop though. I doubt we'll get marshmallow, we would've got it by now if they were going to give it to us, I don't mind too much because it pretty much caters for my needs as it is. Don't pin your hopes on a custom ROM either, this doesn't seem like much of a popular device, at least the model running a spreadtrum processor anyway.

Mate 9 MHA-L09C316

Hi Guys
Just picked my new Huawei mate 9. So far so good..
But i have an issue with updates. My version is MHA-L09C316B150. Im checking for updates but the update system says i have the latest version.. I checked on this thread that the oreo update is out. Will i be able to update my phone to the MHA-L09 version listed here?
Also can someone explain what the C316 is? I see there is C33, C632 etc
Just to add, my device has the last security update from Jan 2017.. Wtf.. Why has no further updates been done..
Value after C in build number is region/localization.
List of known regions is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/regions-mate-9-region-codes-t3555086
But I didn't find C316.
Where are you from? Is your phone selling in stores or you got it from mobile operator by contract?
You can see available stock ROMs for your phone in Firmware Finder. Enter model MHA-L09C316 in search.
I did it, but FF did not find anything about your region. There are two options: stock ROMs for C316 are existing, but FF does not know where are they. Or Huawei did not post them to HiCloud.
If I have had phone with rare region, I will rebrand it to more popular region. It is too hard process for newbie. You have to read about unlock bootloader, TWRP, patched recovery, different models and regions. But staying on region C316 you may not receive any update even. By my experience, Huawei updates popular regions and does not care operator's versions.
As alternative you can ask provider (if phone by contract), write to Huawei or wait for update.
@ 5[Strogino] Thanks for feedback
Im from South Africa and yes the phone is on contract. Network is Vodacom which is part of Vodafone.. I dont understand why this stupid network didnt issue the international region as most phones come with European software installed or even middle east areas. I agree with you, i will have to rebrand my device. I have done flashing on samsung and LG phones but this is my first Huawei.. will read up on some posts and attempt.
was trying to update with Huawei updater 2.0 and hisuite, no luck.. gives me no internet connection error.. tried editing hosts file too but no luck
Finally managed to to install Android 8 and rebrand my device to europe firmware.. testing now.

It's an official beta, but still a beta.
Oreo for Mate 9 should arrive in December or January for everyone.
Right now you can only install beta by applying in Huaweis beta app, or cheat and use Hwota as you did
It's a very stable beta.

Does anyone know if it has project treble support?
https://twitter.com/moversi/status/934506335621861376?s=09
It does NOT have treble since only phones shipped with Oreo must have support for it. This has been known for a long, long time.

Doesn't mean it won't support it. It is a requirement to ship treble with Oreo but can still get it with prior phones. The list of phones already supported have a few from nougat

HTC U11 units in US to get Oreo update starting today
HTC has confirmed that the HTC U11 Oreo update will start rolling out in the US starting today. The Taiwanese company's VP of Product Management Mo Versi took to Twitter to announce this.
Unlocked units will get it first, followed by carrier models. For what it's worth, while replying to a user comment, Versi said they're working with Sprint to roll out the update soon.
The update started rolling out a couple of weeks back, with the company's home country of Taiwan becoming the first market to get it.
As for other HTC phones like the 10, U Ultra, and U11 Life, Versi didn't provide any specific timeline, but did say the roll out will begin soon.

Completely stock. Let's see when we guys get the update

B405

The May security patch is on Firmware Finder
Yes and next month we will see June security patches that will finally put an end to the Oreo "telenovela" for this device. For the future idiots comments that i'll read...June is the last term for "Q2 2018" so the last hope to see the major update. We will see, personally day after day my hope goes down...but i really wish i could be wrong
Maybe the patch will never be deployed alone and will deploy it with Oreo update

I really hope it will happen. Because the same thing has happened to the B399 update (the B398 update has also had the December patches in it, but the B399 update has rolled out instead.

Noone seems to be concerned that Honor/Huawei released "May 2018 security patches" in.. April?
I'm trying to find any information about what is being corrected, but there isn't seem to be anything there. Are they trolling? Or is it a fake security patch?

When do you think "next month patch" is written and tested ?
OEM most probably have google patches before their official release, for testing purposes. Such as : https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-a1-android-8-1-oreo-beta/
The "fake patches" you're talking about are incomplete security patches, in which a few patches are missing, not fully faked ones.

Honor 8 EU model firmware B407

It looks like the July security patch has appeared in Firmware Finder. May be the EU will get Oreo at around August or September.
That sucks for sure
What happens if the update is not approved for installation and I download it through FF DNS/VPN and try to install it?
I didn't get even the B406.

There has been a security update for marshmallow way after nougat got released.
That may still happen with Oreo, oreo and nougat are not necessarily excluding each other IMHO.

Last update that showed up on my phone before rebranding to L19 was the B405.
Why are Huawei/Honor so sloppy with their update distribution sometimes?
This seems really strange, I haven't even recieved B406 yet and Oreo is being released on another FRD-L09 model, but still they decide to release a new security patch-only update? Why couldn't they just pack it together with Oreo? :|

Guess they're just testing with the Russian L09, like they first did with China, and don't know when they'll release it in general Europe.
maybe because in Europe we are crybabies they want to be sure everything works fine
im still on 405 and its not a big deal, besides if you want to get oreo they 're many detailed guides to do so..
And what with gyro bug in B407?
just received B407 OTA
