B405 - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

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.

German DBT here, still nothing... first thought because of the Oreo Update, but this will take some time
a turkish site says, it will come on april 13th. I'm not allowed to post links here
In Italy two carriers released an update with security patches updated at 1 February and small tweakes like working Samsung Pay (in Italy) and updated Weather widgets (S8 style)
Im from Puerto Rico and nothing after January update too.
What the hell is happening? Almost everyone got the february update and DBT nothing yet.
I know... I've seen it on sammobile. Almost every little country get the February update... And no DBT. Would be a dream, if we get Oreo with March Security update first.
Still nothing for DBT... This is starting to look like we are going to get Oreo first(with March security patch).
Released today the update with the March security patch for the international version

Totally agree with you. I hope the Oreo update won't take long to come on our devices.
Well I have been using phone since I got the February update and except new weather widget (like on s8) I didn't notice any cosmetic changes. But I can tell that (for me) phone works more fluid and faster than before.
March Update
Just received March update on G935F UK unlocked
Hi, I do confirm same update for polish XEO version - 1st March security applied
Got March this morning on DBT.

Only June 1st Security (No Oreo) ?

According to the latest Maintenance Release notes by Motorola.
They only mentioned about June 1st 2018 Security Patch.
No Major update mentioned. :crying:

No need to open the 100th thread about Oreo update. You could have used this one instead:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/official-moto-g5-8-1-oreo-release-notes-t3804632
The release notes regarding Oreo update
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/ms130856
are saying the update is coming with Oreo and with the June security patch for Oreo, not for Nougat. As the soak tests haven't even started it is not expected that Oreo comes to our device before August.

In the release notes of Motorola it says Oreo and June security patch which probably means the security patch for Oreo, not for Nougat.
Sent from my Moto G5 Plus using XDA Labs
I am not sure if the soak test even started. So this was expected.
The Oreo will probably come somewhere in the next 2 months.
Gobsmacked, UK has got June update on retgb, normally 3 month's behind reteu.
Motorola must be starting to get their act together, yippee :good:
here in france just got the june security patch , and guess what, now, when im using the cam, i have a very bad sound, et low audio, what happened ??

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.

Neither did I.
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
Uhmm... You sure?
Me too in croatia. Previously I manually flashed b406 through the firmware finder
Pure Honor 8
Cool. It is still not approved for me
Still not approved here, in Italy. Honor 8 (FRD-L09) No brand

Honor 8 [oreo] discussion thread [noob friendly]

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.

July Security Patch

Just got the July Security patch 8.0.0.325(C675).
nice... just security update? nothing else? then again, it's 1st August for me... no more July.. hahaha
I dont know if you'll are facing this, but I am facing some heating issues after July security patch update which results in rapid battery drain. I know you'll will suggest me to do a phone reset but seriously is that even required?. ?. Can't just reset phone after very new update.
Still waiting for my July security update, or should I say July and August security updates. EU version here.
Otherwise this phone has been pretty damn awesome
Are you guys able to use ldac on your Honor 8 pros?

I too have the EU Version (C432). I contacted Honor support yesterday because I saw on the Firmware Finder that there are new updates around. The guy on chat told me that my phone is on the current official build (366).
