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

Yes i followed the Magisk guide to install it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...agisk-root-honor-view-10-mate-10-pro-t3749280 This works.
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.
Oh and for all, i can't recommend ADB Shell method, since many user got errors with that.
Will this continue to get ota updates as and when they come ?

Thank you so much! Upgrading from L21C432B101 worked like a charm. Literally no problems whatsoever
Only question though is will we get OTA updates or will we have to manually update like with this version?

Good, but there is easy way download that rom, and install it for TWRP(select full wipe, include internal storage) - emmaus.pro/MX4_custom_roms/Flyme/4.5.7i_twrp.zip
and there all stock Flyme roms for twrp - emmaus.pro/?dir=MX4_custom_roms/Flyme
Author all rom "nikk3d" russian 4pda users - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showuser=2196261
And this method works even on newest firmware, let's say 4.5.6i downgraded to 4.2.8i via 4.0.4i? Or is a easy variant of previous method, patched uboot by meizu remains after 4.5.6i upgrade if i understand, no matter if you downgrate to Kitkat?

I corrected "Select storage" position, corrected some shifts on the main screen

I have an MX4 originally with Ubuntu touch, I tried to flash 4.5.7i from emmaus.pro.
It failed, updater binary error. I checked the recovery log and it says write error, no space left.
Does anybody have any clue?
Thanks,
Note: I already tried a wipe out (even internal storage). No issues with the cyanogenmod roms from emmaus.pro.
Is someone trying to make fom Meizu MX5?

i think, mx4 ubuntu touch version, and standard china version, - internal partitions(storage) name - different, so you gives write an error.

Thanks to all user's who making this for MX4. They are really engineers! I hope they will try for MX5.
Yes, the problem it is not official, and we cant get new update.
Why we don't write a email to Canynogen and tell them that we open the bootloader and put CM. But we want they make CM for MX4 and MX5, with new CM and updates?

and after i will unlock the bootloader i can instal any rom? like Mokee and CM12.1??
Since lollipop there is no manual update option in huawei updater and even the huawei stock recovery has no or less interface which has no adb sideload option. This became a crunch to flash the update which your friend got and which u dont.
This Method is Universal for all huawei devices
In order to apply ota update using this method , root access is a major requirement so be sure your device is rooted.
If u had twrp recovery , at first flash SuperSu package to root your device (Try systemless root only) .
After successfull root ,flash stock recovery from twrp and reboot system.
Step 1:
In my case b370 is the last ota i found for kiw-l22 which vsriram92 posted here . Thanks to him for posting the update before 99% users got their update :good:
Download the relevant update package (ota) which you need a relevant base package to install it on . Ex: b360 as base for b370 update
step 2:
just remember the path where u downloaded the package . Install Flashify from playstore or From Here
Select Zip file which is the third option in flashify .
step 3 :
Navigate to the path where u downloaded ota package select the update.zip (ota package).
flashify starts downloading the package to its path asks you for root access .
Grand Su permissions , Select Cwm recovery if flashify asks as the next option.
Now the phone reboots to recovery and starts flashing.
After the ota update , your device will be unrooted . so take a backup of your stock recovery by following below guide.
Enable Usb debugging and connect ur phone to pc.
navigate to adb folder and place twrp.img or recovery.img in adb folder ,open command window from the same folder and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or what_ever_its_name.img
now it temporarily boots twrp , take a backup of your stock recovery and then flash twrp for permanent install and then reroot ur device.
Happy flashing :laugh::good:
it gets zip signature verification failed....the method is similar to installing the zip file directly from the recovery but that doesn't work unless zip signature is verified

Nope. It was there in EMUI 3 previously. Now, we can't unless it has only update.app.
so b370 is only for the ones who gave root access to their phones?

Hello together, I tried flashing the B360 update for my L21 with this method but unfortunately I did not succeed. I followed every step but when flashify reboots to the stock recovery nothing happens. Just nothing.
I used the file for the L21 that I linked to in this post.
Any suggestions how to get it to work?

Are you on B350D0003 or some earlier firmware? I'm on stock B350, just rooted with Magisk+phh's superuser, and it doesn't want to flash that big file at all; tried flashing OTA update (200MB file) and it failed at 80%, causing a damn bootloop. Gah, I thought my old phone was pain in the ass...

I'm on B350D003. After I tried the OTA instead of the full package I came across the same problem with the stock recovery, but when flashing it from TWRP it did flash it, but exited with an error.
No bootloop but as a file was missing for the full update process wifi (and probably bluetooth) are not working.
If you are interrested to solve it, have a look here. It looks like there is a way to fix the problem and we are currently investigating.

TBH, I'm on a verge to start building LOS or PAC/Slim/whatever is properly maintained and fast for my own needs and ditch EMUI completely....
I'm searching for other firmwares now via FirmwareFinder, there is a probability that one is a leaked test or something like that, because it simply doesn't want to flash. If I find out something, I'll continue on thread you've linked, to avoid flooding this one.
Hi. Thanks for your guide.
I need to update my phone with several ota updates. I just need to repeat this guide's procedure until updated to the last ota or there is a better way to do that?

Rollback installed now.
You have to modify script a little though, as rollback has no public zip.
So simply remove the line that says
echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA8/update_data_public.zip > /cache/recovery/command
in hwota8_update.zip's update-binary.
You should even be able to install something that's not a ROLLBACK, as long as you factory reset after.
The rollback factory resets automatically.

You're the man.
Is there a way to disable vibration of the floating navigation dock when long pressed on oreo it is really annoying?
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.
hi, I'm still XD, in the end I managed to install it on frd-l09 following your guide now I wonder if you can install the g-app and how to flash zip files on recovery .. thanks for your work: ) ps:call and network work...

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 have to rebrand. Regardless, there is TWRP for Oreo so it is now a lot safer to upgrade to Oreo now.
Twrp now can mount partition, or flash zip?

Is it possible to access recovery in Oreo, if yes can I flash Magisk and install V4a ?

Yes, you can.
I'm trying to see if you can get root permissions.
You're installing firmware for DL00 but the oeminfofile you provided with the first link is for AL10. Won't that cause any problem?

not sure how you bricked it but glad you got a new phone.
"cannot have my sim turned off"
So, I have only one sim which is in my work phone. to test LTE, data etc i will have to remove the sim from that phone and put it in the Mi A2. Now, I cannot do that as I cannot have my sim (phone number) turned off for even a minute due to work.
As for going back to stock. Download stock firmware, extract it and replace pie gsi img with system.img from factory firmware zip and you will be back to stock.

How did i bricked my phone. Simple. First of all no desrepect for any dev, since i did this by my one. What i did was tried to flash unofficial twrp and fastboot set slot b did not worked. Once i reboot it got stuck on a bootloop. i couldn't flash xiaomi stock fastboot zip due to "critical partition flashing is not allowed" and before you asked yes my A2 was bootloader unlocked one. Unlock critical partition thing is not for our devices like for pixel series as far as i know. So simply i couldn't fix it, neither the software guy from my purchased center. That's why im afraid. I know you are besy, but highly appreciate if you can write down how to go back to stock guideline as well. Thanks again :good:

did you try fastboot set slot a, and then reboot? that should have fixed it.
As for a guide for going back to stock from Pie.
LIke i said.
dowload fastboot firmware from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/ota-v9-6-5-0-odimife-t3823445
extract the zip file. open images folder. grab system.img. put it in fasboot folder. and in step where we flash pie gsi image, flash the system.img you just pasted in fastboot folder.
