Revert to stock Oreo + stock recovery - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey guys.
I'm currently with stock Oreo firmware - v365. Bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted. I get a notification of an update (373) daily, which I can't install I reckon because I'm with a custom recovery. Each morning I find the phone restarted in recovery and I have to reboot it manually.
So, how can I go back to full stock + stock recovery which will allow the proper function of the OTA? This will be my wife phone, so I don't care about rooting and relocking my bootloader.
I'll appreciate any help and advice.

This is all i did to get the updates to 15:
I have used Santod040 roms in case i need to go back to pure stock ROM only: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2485319
You will need the odex one to run any OTA . i would download/flash the stock 10 to be sure you get the full firmware to get the 15 update.
then
Get into fastboot and flash the stock recovery you can get below:
You can get it here:

fastboot flash recovery htconerecovery_signed.img
You can try to update.
That should resolve your problem and you might want to post this kinda stuff under help and troubleshooting since it fits that better.
Good Luck

[REQ] 3-way Reboot menu for 4.3 update

Hey all,
I'm looking for an extended reboot menu thats flashable for the new 4.3 update thats been rolling out. I'm on Telus (Canadian carrier) stock rom NOT rooted but with custom recovery. (Can't root due to work restrictions). Does anyone know of one or if the ones for ex the GS3 would work?
Thanks!
If you are not Rooted but with a custom recovery you flashed an unlocked bootloader correct?
As far as I know the 4.3 update for I317m bootloader has not yet been unlocked. I think if you accept the update to stock 4.3 you would lose your custom recovery until the unlocked 4.3 bootloader has been cracked. I don't think you would be able to flash any mods at that point.
Don't quote me.

A bit of background information on my set up.
Previosuly I was unlocked, rooted and custom rom on 4.1. Then my work began no longer allowing rooted phones to receive company email so in SuperSU I clicked "unroot" and kept the custom recovery and custom rom with all the tweaks but lost root access. Then my phone got messed up somehow so I decided to wipe it and install a new rom as it had been a few months. I installed a 4.3 rom and proceeded to unroot it. Apparently in 4.3 something has changed and simply clicking unroot removed my root access but the company program (Good for Enterprise) could still detect that it had been rooted. So I grabbed the Telus stock 4.3 firmware from a mirror (Sammobile still doesn't have it due to hotfile being shut down) and flashed it through Odin. This put me back to stock recovery and stock firmware, not rooted. I then flashed TWRP over the stock recovery in Odin and here we now are. I can confirm that the recovery flash did take and I am able to get into it, etc. Just looking for some .zips to flash now to bring things back to a custom rom state minus the root.
I think your stuck until some one comes out with a stock deodexed version as the reboot options are in the androidpolicy.jar file . Skynote 10 is based on the latest Canadian 4.3 and has the reboot option., just pull your csc folder and put it in the zip before flashing. But it is rooted and not sure if you can use cf-root to unroot as i have never tried to unroot you could also use xposed and wanam but you will need root for them to work hope i didn't confuse you

[Q] Updating Firmware

Hi,
So I have a GSM HTC One M8 that is rooted and running a custom rom and recovery.
Due to the 4.4.3 update, I need to update my firmware. From what I have read in the forums, I first had to go back to the stock rom and recovery. Which I did. The nandroid back up process went fine, but the stock recovery wouldn't load up for me. And also, the stock rom is already at the latest 4.4.3!
When I tried to go to settings and check for updates, it says that I already have the latest version installed....
Few questions.
1. Do I need a stock recovery to be able to get the OTA update?
2. Is this the only way to update my firmware?
BTW, my device is S-ON and Unlocked.

Stuck on 4.1.2, stock rooted need help

Hello,
I messed up my Note 8 and recently was able to reinstall 4.1.2 stock, I tried connecting to Kies and it doesn't work. I wanted to update to the newest software then root. Since that wasn't working I rooted via Odin then attempted to flash twrp so I could flash a custom rom. Root works but the custom recovery doesn't stick... I tried unticking reboot in odin and the system still reboots into standard recovery.
I tried using the toolkit and its stuck on waiting on debug even though debug is clicked.
Can anyone help me install a custom recovery via odin or another way?
If you have the at&t sgh-i467 version - there is not a custom recovery for it because it has a locked bootlader.
Additionally, the newest 4.4.2 ota update has not been rooted as of yet - so if you must have root, don't install the ota.
The original mf1 rom is rootable, but again there is no customers recovery due to the locked bootloader.
This only applies to the at&t in version...
use Odin
Need help?

Mate Se Back to Factory stock?

I'm rooted with frp unlocked and so on with oreo. I need to go all the way back to out of the box stock setup to download the latest updates. I'm on oreo and have a ton of reading but I need to be guided into a set of instructions to get this restore done.
Please help.
Thx!
Via magisk uninstaller, uninstall and your boot will be fine
Also, you can flash stock boot and recovery to be on full stock
Will this allow me to relock and do ota updates? Basically I need to be able to use the factory recovery partition incase of failure. Currently due to the unlocked phone the use of the recovery bricks the phone. And where can I get these stock recovery partitions at?
Doesn't matter if your BL is locked or unlocked. As long as you have stock recovery and stock boot, you will be able to install OTA
Can you e plain a bit more detail? Thx! How the process should go
What are the commands for stock boot and recovery images through the recovery screen. The white screen that shows bootloader and frp status.... And possible link to those specific files would be great.
