How to avoid the new update on a rooted phone?

Hey all. I am planning on returning my Note 7 after New Years. I have a rooted phone running package disabler pro and Titanium backup. I have the ota frozen but everyday I keep receiving the notification about the new update coming soon. Does this mean when its released I will automatically get it? Anyway to avoid it? Thanks!

Android 8.1 Oreo Final Still No OTA

I Still Haven't Recieved 8.1 OTA Update!!. I Don't Want To Flash OTA Files Because I Don't Want To Loose My Data.BTW I Am From India and I Am on 8.1 DP2(OPP6.171019.012). 8.1 Released on December 5 Officially. Is This Happening To Anyone Else???

Opt out of the Beta program and sideload the full ota image. You DO NOT need to unlock the bootloader and you DO NOT lose any data.

Me too, the same situation. No OTA yet

It is doing the rounds, my Dad received it last week, but I've no idea about the ZIP file name as I live 200 miles away from him!

Never received OTA updates since last november

Hi,
I bought my Honor 8 pro last november and i haven't got any OTA updates since then.
I'm still on DUK-L09C432B185. System updates is telling me there are no update as well as the HiCare app. It wouldn't let me download the full package either.
Firmware finder is telling me that there have been several updates since B185.
Do I still need to wait or is there something wrong? Living in the Netherlands btw if it matters. Phone is still stock so no root or whatever.

Is it carrier locked? Might be a carrier thing? Not so usual around the EU (thankfully) but thats what I come up with.
Otherwise, it should have had updates indeed.

It's (afaik) not locked to a carrier. Bought the phone myself (was not part of a subscription). Using it with a sim only from Tele2.
Already tried updating without sim card. No luck: still no updates available.

Got an update to DUK-L09 8.0.0.360(C432) in the meantime .
I contacted Huawei support and he told me my IMEI is authorised for a couple of updates (including Android 8) but could not explain why I was not receiving it. He advised me to send my phone in for repair.
Before doing that I decided to give firmware finder a shot. That worked! Even got a prompt for an update to 362 now.

The same mishap happened to me as well. Got no update since a minor OTA update that shipped with the phone which dated back to October 2017 I think. Mine is C675 (Indian) unit. Firmware Finder resolved it for me as it did for you. It's a pity how Honor handles its update distribution amongst other software related issues.
btw, how's your battery back up post Oreo update if I may ask?

Weird indeed.
I think my overall battery life improved but it's a bit hard to tell since I charge it in the car very often (Android Auto).
Yours?

DUK-L09 C432 Stock ROM SDcard upgrade issues

Dear community,
I am the proud owner of this superb phone. I have it in completely stock mode, never unlocked or rooted (sorry to say that, but the days of flashing new roms every week are history for me for some years already).
I have bought it in EU from official partner (no grey import!), the HiSuite installed the build number DUK-L09C432B189 (Android 7) as the latest version, which is odd, since I know this device has been rolled out with Android 8 and will get Android 9 soon, even in EU.
I have downloaded the Stock ROM with January 2019 patch set, build number DUK-L09C432B378 directly from honor cloud.
I have tried all the possible combinations of uploading the files to the SD Card and flash it this way (create dload folder and put UPDATE.APP inside, tried also uploading zip files, tried to store them directly to root without dload folder etc.) but none of them worked for me. Always got to 5 % and then "Software installation failed". The dload/UPDATE.APP was the only combination going forward via *#*#2846579#*#* menu and SDcard upgrade, so it rebooted into flashing mode, all the other combinations failed with "no firmware found", etc.
Anyone has any bulletproof idea how to continue? I have even found somewhere an information, that particularly C432 are unable to be flashed via SDcard... Why would just this region be such limited?
I have spent last 8 hours trying all the possible combinations and need a push to the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.

Get a new phone. Huawei seems to have just forgotten that this phone exists. And this is high time you move to a phone more customizable and popular with all the trade wars going on. If you had the Bootloader unlocked you could have just flashed the Ota rom updater zip with the update folder inside. Alternatively you can use firmware finder but this includes changing your dns server. All the best. Don't expect a lot of replies, this phone along with it's user base is basically dead.

Yeah, I would love to get a new phone. But the only option to get the same features is leading me back to Huawei again. (I use mainly GSMarena to do the comparison of features, and verify on other sources as well.)
So instead of buying another one, which (with the knowledge of the situation of US/CN trade war, is currently a walk into a dead forest) I would just keep this Honor 8 Pro till it works.
And it's not really true Huawei has forgotten it totally. Why would they rollout Android 9 to it then?
Let me rephrase the question a little bit: Is there anyone who has successfully upgraded their Honor 8 Pro with C432 region via SD card? If so, how?
Thanks.

So I have written to Honor support and they seem to have my phone enabled for the updates, since I got the latest update finally today. Thus SDcard method is not required anymore.

Hi @gabriel31337 - i have exact the same problem. Whom did you contact to get the latest version OTA enabled?

Hi @UFO-waRhawK, I have wrote to this mail address: [email protected]

Ok, whoever faces this problem, insert a valid SIM card. Once i inserted my SIM, i was able to update to the latest version immediately. You can still download the update via WLAN, but using only WLAN without a SIM will let you stay on the old version.
