Honor 8 Pro Oreo Update? - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I was told that H8 pro will get the update before 2018 but there is nothing about it yet. I even signed up for beta but they are not replying now.

They have no time-frame for it and that's well, pathetic.

And this is really not good because devices half the price get atleast 1 security patch in 3 months but here it's been September since a security patch update, let alone some feature additions or improvements.

Indian variants haven't received any update since September and there's news that there will be no oreo beta test for Indian variant. Instead, a stable build will be launched directly.

Apparently, they have sent out beta oreo update to few selected users according to the honor forum post.

Eagerly waiting for oreo update. Come to know that even beta is smoother than stable build.
Can't wait for more days.

Anyway to update without unlocking?

i really dont understand, just to give an ota for beta oreo update will take a week or more.. register then waiting for a long time.. on my 6p just 1 click and it will comeout the update right away,but sad to say its a goodbye (bootloop)

I have the 3 ZIP files of probably the stable oreo update, got from Firmware finder app. Do i have to unlock the bootloader and then follow the procedure to install unapproved OTA from the AIO thread or is there any simpler way ?

Honor says that they are testing the update. Now, all of those of registered for the beta test haven't received the update. Serious lack of communication.
Seems like even Honor doesn't know how to deal with this situation.

Well that's disapponting...
That's a screen grab only a few minutes ago... surely you would have thought if they were pushing a major update they would inform customers via the update page in a timely manner?
how large is the file? couple hundred K = update. A meg or more = upgrade!
I can't get it to download, no wifi ?

Update is confirmed Nougat -- I meant to take a screenshot, but missed my opportunity because I was so excited to start the update! It did say OS update to Nougat! The wait is over boys and girls!
Post a screen shot of build so that we can see if leaked build is release build.

Downloading now. 1447mb
Looks like this is exactly the same build as ADB version. So if you on EQC6 build already you don't have to do anything
Clicking from Edge of Galaxy
Just noticed an update on my Note 5 as well. I can't even get into the Software Update screen, but I have "Device Management" apparently downloading a software update.... Cheers, will update my post if anything happens. (Hurray for Nougat?)
EDIT: update finished downloading, and it is definitely Nougat. I unfortunately lost the screenshot, but can post about page after it's done updating if someone wants.
Yup. Can confirm Nougat. Finally found some wifi.

You can manually set your clock forward a day and try again. It's worked for me on previous OTAs.

Call AT&T and tell them about your problem or ADB sideload. With sideload you will lose all data

L24 Updates

Do we get the 2.4GB update which the AL10 got, or is it coming to our devices soon? It's supposed to bring in a few improvements to the camera and software. However, the only update L24 users got was for VoLTE improvements which was only 100-200MB.

Who said AL10 users got an update, i have it and i havent got a single update from the time i bought the phone.
Maybe its for the chinese version, anyway the only update you would want is the Oreo one.

When will beta 9.0 come out ?

Hey There...
Does anyone knows when will beta version of EMUI 9.0 be available globally. They said it would be in July if anyone knows exact date ?
Any help would be appreciated
I bet they have silently cancelled it, there was a beta project in my country, I was approved, but never received the ota, it is now gone from the beta app.
Pretty disappointed tbh, Huawei and Honor just lost yet another customer

But some recent news on internet are even confirming EMUI 9.1 for our device. How could they cancel 9.0 and confirm 9.1. Maybe they are upgrading the device directly to 9.1 that's why they removed the 9.0 Update from FUT

I did not say they would cancel the update altogether, just the beta project, which they obviously did.

There seem to be some updates for your model on Firmware Finder, if you're willing to tinker with it you can give HuRUpdater a try. Personally, I just wanted emui 9 to move to newer openkirin releases.

Yes there are but I don't have a spare phone these days to use as a daily driver if anything messes up so I am a little bit afraid to do a force update.

Which security patch did you have on EMUI 9.1? I'm looking to move to OmniRom and apparently the security patches from May onwards caused bootloops with OpenKirin images.

It came with the June security patch, I was not able to use OmniRom (bootloops as you said, adb starts tho not fully) but I actually tried RR for emui 9 and it worked

np, I got pretty worried when I got the bootloop, thinking that the update to emui 9.1 was somehow "incomplete".
Btw under RR the device is seen as "Kirin Treble" and not Honor 7X, but from what I can tell everything works fine. Do you also have the European model?
