There is no OTA version, just FullOTA, which is interesting.

3. Unlock bootloader / Flash TWRP oreo version.
4. Flash via TWRP with HuRUpdater_0.3 method.
5. Relock Bootloader.
6. Restore Data.

Thank you.
I wasn't sure if that method works on oreo.
Did you notice anything new?

I installed it via HuRUpdater, but there aren't problems at all except for the fact that it corrupted my stock Android theme.

What was your previous build number before update.

Firmware Finder just does not work for me. I can't find the files that the phone downloaded and I can't open filelist on thw website. Am I the only one who's experiencing this?

I can't find a working TWRP on B521. Everytime show error, when I try to boot into recovery. The Honor V10 version shows error too.
Which TWRP do you use?

Used this TWRP twrp_bkl_0.7.img thanks to @Pretoriano80
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769917
Aslo note the fastboot commands have changed. The new command is "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img"

Thanks, it worked. But now, it asks me for password. ("Mount - Decrypt Data" is in the header)
I don't have password, only PIN, but that does not work.
Should I ignore that message? I don't mind if it wipes my data.

YES . You can ignore.

Thank you for the lightning-fast help. This TWRP really works.
I flashed this one too, but it didn't work for the first time.
I stucked in a bootloop, but a factory reset in revovery fixed it.

You can't flash an OTA with TWRP. You need to flash the factory images with fastboot, it's all in my guide:

No if you read the guide carefully. It states how to flash everything WITHOUT losing any data or applications.

This guy has lots of great advise. I always see him giving great advise all over XDA. fastboot and adb are the icing on the cake for nexus devices. ?

Has anybody tried to update with this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=nl I would like know if this works good.
I'm in the same boat as OP
Should I flash MMB29V or MHC19I and do I need to update my twrp ?
I'm on stock MMB29Q with ROOT with twrp 3.0.0.0
Thanks guys any help would be super appreciated

Go for the latest, which is MHC19I, you'll need to update to TWRP 3.0.0-1 though.

Do I flash the newest twrp or does that go thru fastboot as well?
And is there any radio or bootloader that I need to update as well?

All through fastboot, the radio and bootloader will be updated when you flash the factory images.

Why am I getting a "Your Device is Corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly."

OTA storage location?

Does anybody know where the OTA file is being saved in our phone?
I'm downloading the file now but I won't be installing it yet until I put back my stock recovery.
Nevermind. I already found the location. If anyone wants to know, it can be found in data/data/com.zte.zdm/files
Can you confirm the location. I am on 7.1.1 and trying to save the latest OTA (on A2017G). Under /data, I only have a mail directory and nothing else.

They don't use the newest version magisk. Try pulling the zip from their room that contains magisk and flash it. I've tried and had no luck. It would cause the phone to bootloop.

Did you use flashfire or something like that to flash stock recovery? I made a backup in TWRP thought about trying to restore stock recovery with that. I have did it on other phones just not this one.

Usually I just use the backup boot and recovery I have when I installed twrp using tenfar's tool. I flash my backup images in twrp. Then, i use adb sideload to upgrade rather than sd method.

yes, you can still receive and download the OTA like I how figured out the location.
However, you can't update using the downloaded OTA file unless you revert your boot and recovery partitions to stock.

I'm guessing you're using TWRP recovery.
The problem is you can't flash incremental updates via TWRP, you need to flash the complete ROM zip. It's about 1.2GB and you can't find a mirror link on AndroidFileHost
No i am not using twrb.
I just changed my phone location using VPN and got the latest update via ota.
Once i reboot as part of installation it says "failure to upgrade?"

Download rom from the given link. Take nandroid backup of your device (assuming you have TWRP). Wipe dalvik, system, Data cache and perform a clean install. First reboot will take some time.
(Warning: You will lose data)
or just download the signed incremental OTA and flash that file via TWRP
Enjoy!!!

Any possible hope for Android P or a secure ROM?

I have an Xperia x, but ROM support on it is lacking heavily. I may downgrade to my z3 compact.
My question is, is there any hope that we'll get an android P port, preferably lineage OS, for the z3c? Or a ROM that is secure so that the exploits like the one just announced (tracking exploit) can be mitigated?
Is there any software to lock down these phones? Firewalls seem to have gone the way of the dodo.
Carbon Rom, Oreo 8.1 works perfectly on my Z3c, just got September security fix

The only issue I'm having with Cabron and the OTA updates is I have my phone encrypted (as we all should) and it needs to reboot into TWRP to do the update, and TWRP won't decrypt my phone.

This should not be the case. TWRP can decrypt your phone. Have you tried getting an OTA update with Carbon? If it failed, then maybe you're running the wrong version of TWRP.

Do you have a lockscreen password? If so, that could be it. If not, try default_password as your password.

No lock screen password and default_password didn't work when I tried it. It's booting now and it seems to be stuck at the boot logo.
-edit-
Still stuck booting. I'll charge it to max, re-install ROM, and wait to see if there's a fix.
