Help Honor 8 Pro users From Honor/Huawei's so called bad development - Honor 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Honor Started their EMUI 9 based on Android Pie 'a beta testing. They recruited 500 users for it. But now all they are doing is madness.
First they released a faulty version of beta which they send to Beta and no beta tester which make their devices to stick in eRecovery. They fixed that problem, devices were recovered. But now its even more of a different story.
They are providing beta update randomly to users. Beta tester and non beta testers are getting pie beta while in a different pace they also releasing a Feb security patch.
Now the problem is, when a non beta tester(a general user) gets the beta update they can't report any bug, they are stuck. And those who signed up, if they update the security patch they are getting kicked out from beta program. It has been such a mess.
Please XDA, you can reach to Huawei/Honor when we cannot. Please take this problems public, only maybe then they will provide these things correctly.
For a reference: https://club.hihonor.com/in/topic/361221/detail.htm

i also got kicked out from the project after updating my security patch. I was so much excited for the project but now m dissapointed badly

Marshmallow will definitely come for KIW-L24 model since Honor US mentioned it. I'm currently beta testing Marshmallow for KIW-L22, so it will recieve the update as well. I don't know about KIW-L21 model, but it will most probably receive it as well.
It's been another month... where's the update???
EMUI 4 for honor x5
Hello there.
I noticed on the Huawei web site that you can download EMUI 4 for honor x5.
File: Honor 5X OpenSource (KIW&KII Android 6.0_ EMUI4.0_kernel_overseas).zip
Does someone know how to apply the update?
Thanks

Hi, I'm pretty sure that is just the new kernel without the operation system. A kernel is low-level software sitting between the phone's hardware and the android operating system. We need Huawei to release the Android 6.0 operating system source code as well

Hello,
That's the source code and you cannot apply it as you need to compile that one first. The source code is meant for developers and is very useful for making custom ROMs.
I am not sure with Honor 5x model are you using, but here in India for KIW-22, the beta test for Android6+EMUI4 is under progress and I am one of the beta tester from the community. Same should be the situation all across the Globe. There are some problems with RAM management and battery. With the update, device consumes more RAM and battery than Android 5.1+EMUI3, which is keeping the update from the release. Developers are working hard to fix these issues and update should be out soon.
Also here in India, Honor has put release candidate version for Android6+EMUI4 update for download on request only for KIW-22. Here is the URL: https://club.hihonor.com/in/honor5x...i-4-0-marshmallow-limited-public-release.2985
I bet the same should be there for your region. You can download and update your phone to that version.
pank.dhnd, thanks for your detailed explanation.
I’m an average user, so in my case I will wait for the official update.
Regards

Official M3 Android 7.0 Nougat and EMUI 5.0 entering beta yesterday?

Short answer shorter: a leaked EMUI 5.0 schedule from Huawei claims the M3 edition of Android 7.0 (not 7.1) and EMUI 5.0 (with rumored much lower EMUI annoyance quotient (EMUIAQ)) is going into beta, and this may have already been released as of this past Wednesday the 18th. Release version is scheduled to go final in April and public in May. No word on if this is correct, current and not delayed, or even real. If you can read Chinese you may be able to glean a bit more info from the image.
Mate 8 users update to EMUI 5.0 over here.
Bonus cookie points if you know sekrit publik Huawei FTP dumps to check. Post type set to Q&A so any ROMs can get put up top.
You may want to see these two official thread on Chinese Huawei forum:
Here you may see some dates when some stagis of distributing EMUI 5.0 will come
And here you may try to become a beta tester

Forme it shows a chinese message which says "Site closed ..."
Do participants have to sign a NDA or why is there zero communication about the beta in forums?

That's actually a good question. I couldn't find any infos either...
I hope open beta comes soon, the 6.0 build is slow as hell.
I saw an update today, changing the build number from B002 to B003, but no other version info or specifics listed. I'll update tonight and see what it is.
Has anyone had success signing up for the Beta program & actually received outreach of any kind?
Also, has anyone from the US gotten signed up?
Thanks.
@iihito702 was able to update to 5.0 in thks thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/help/help-please-emui-5-0-mediapad-m3-t3554620

Wondering when Nougat EM5 comes to this device. Wish there were more hype and development on it. Love the device/hardware, hate the lack of evolution and EMUI 4.
Sent from my BTV-W09 using Tapatalk
I'm on BTV-DL09-C100-B302 (a very advanced EU test version I guess) and it is very stable.
If you can find an android 6 EMUI 4.1 full stock rom for your region (equivalent to BTV-DL09-C100-B009 for Europe), you can always, while waiting for the official release, update to a very advanced test/unofficial version if you find one for your region also.
BTV-DL09-C100-B302 has been very stable so far and it offers a nice look and feel and experience. I do love EMUI and the v5.0. It's a nice mix between IOS / android.
I don't think the official release will be any different and better than BTV-DL09-C100-B302. Security and bug fixes probably but very fine as it is.
Better battery life so far, wifi, bluetooth and LTE and... fingerprint sensor are perfectly stable. Compared to B006, better cellphone signal strength and it's stable (or my cell provider has improved the coverage in my area which is also possible also).
Like you, I would love to get a full official Nougat EMUI 5.0 rom though.
mid May and NO update?

I unlock my S6 running Nougat with fingerprint and I noticed that on MarshMallow it did not require the PIN as much as it does on Nougat. I would say that Nougat has tighter restrictions regarding fingerprint unlock. I only use the fingerprint to navigate, partly because of this behaviour.

How many people still use android 6.x ?

Hi,
On many forum I can see people with issue trying to update with beta release , trying to downgrade with no sucess, so, am I alone to wait for Huawei release of Nougat ?
No, you are not alone. But it appears that it is wrong to say so.
Hi, i'm waiting for the official Update. I'm comming from an Google Nexus 5x with Android 7.1.1 and there is no big Reason to update to an Beta Release.
I am still using marshmallow.. waiting for final version of nougat.
ok , I will stay in the old user team ; ) I'm using nova launcher , don't really like EMUI interface , what beta release ,or mod , could add to my phone ?
I don't know why but it seems to be too many / much issue with this beta release , I need my phone , 100 % working and that's what I already have , I just hope a nougat release for 2017 : )
Hello
I use b336 + rom revolution.
For me, no problem, but I'm also waiting for the beta version ota.
I want to see the difference.

Android O dissussions.

This is a copy and paste from Here
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-8-0-oreo-google-released/
Android 8.0 Oreo is being pushed to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for everyone to access today. The update builds for Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Pixels has entered into carrier testing, and Google expects the phased roll out to begin soon alongside that of the Pixel C and Nexus Player. Google is also working closely with OEM partners like Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp and Sony to ensure that new devices are either launched with Android 8.0 Oreo or are upgraded to the latest sweet. Further, devices in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version.
So this means its time for new roms to pop up all across the board, for many devices.
We all have been waiting so patiently.
Oreo update version, if Enrol now
Hi
I'm using Nexus 6P. What happens if I opt in for Enrol Device now, I mean which release will I get the OTA., a beta version or the final Android 8.0 release.?

Thank you Huskied. I did the update by enrolling the beta programme, I got the final release.
And yeah, this is something like a force update, if the OTA didn't hit the device.

[ROM PORT REQUEST] MIUI 9 for Mi5 based on Android 8.0 Oreo by Xiaomi.eu to Z2 Plus

Hi Devs,
It's a humble request to all Experienced (Recognized) Developers/Young Developers/Members of XDA to PORT MIUI 9 ROM based on Android 8.0 Oreo for Mi5 by Xiaomi.eu to our beloved Z2 Plus device...
I know MIUI 9 by YouLinw exists for our device, but that PORT is purely based on Chinese build of MIUI 9 for Mi 5 based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat and is very limited to global users. No international user understands Chinese very well and they prefer the language in their preferred locale and Xiaomi.eu project enables the same and provides multi-language Official ROMs (PORT) by Xiaomi. Plus it is backed up by built-in Google Apps, so there's no need to perform any Gapps installations after flashing the ROM itself and is TWRP friendly ROM...
User/Dev Narshi Shukla has done exceptionally well in maintaining the MIUI 9 thread and providing help/support for that particular ROM PORT by YouLinw and changing/modifying many aspects of the PORTED ROM itself to make the ROM more usable to Global end users but still it lacks these three points, First is Android Oreo build and Second Gapps and Thirdly the addition of International languages/locale.
Considering the above benefits of having Globalized version of MIUI 9 for our Z2 Plus, that too on 8.0 Oreo build and with GApps included is something that many users are looking for...
I was trying to PORT this ROM my self but I'm facing technical problems with my PC hardware, as such my motherboard has got damaged and was sent for repairs to Service Centre and is with them since last few weeks and till now, no report on repairs done by them/working condition/service completion of hardware by the concerned SC... So I would request other Devs to Kindly step forward, if possible, please...
Your efforts are always appreciated and welcome guys...

Well, atleast let the ROM go stable for Mi5, as it is released just few days ago in beta. After proper release, porting maybe an option.

Agreed but the ROM is already out of Internal Alpha Testing to Private Beta Testing to Public Beta/Developer/Weekly ROM now... We can wait... There's no issue in waiting for this ROM to get PORT though...

Some users reported heat and just 3 4 hours sot, force closes here and there and there are many Oreo features are missing,
Let it progress and lets see how stable it will be after 2 3 updates,
Porting Xiaomi eu roms among other are in my list, but time management is a problem for me so it may take time.
Hope to see more devs/users trying to port MIUI based on global Branch.

That's what I said but I think MIUI 10 will be properly compatible with Oreo as MIUI is always little late implementing all the features from AOSP like the amount of time taken them to apply notification reply.
