After updating you mean?

Updated fine from B393. Thanks!

I also can't root after update from B393 to B394. Flash Twrp went well, but rooting by the systemless method with Supersu 2.67 fails. Nothing happend. Systemless method with Supersu 2.68 ends in a bootloop.

You can use magisk to get systemless root and more

Could someone paste here stock recovery? I've used huawei extractor and I see two recoveries: recovery.img and revocery2.img. I used two of them and I'm stuck on huaei logo after updating. I think I need boot.img and recovery.img, I'm right? :> I used an ARROW firmware before.
EDIT:
Ok, it works. If someone need a recovery and boot files, link below.

Root the B394 with Magisk systemless root work for me.
Thank you!

My phone was in repair shop so when it's returned I updated this directly from clean B200 and then I restored my backup - everything working OK, only few app are missing notification sound and status bar notifications (like Facebook, and messenger) but I'm not sure with what it's related. Tried to reinstall this apps and clear data, but nothing. Any advice?
EDIT: Problem solved - I did factory reset and then restored backup. I did not do factory on clean B200 after returned from service, so maybe that was problem.. So, for now, everything works fine on B394.

Some calendar improvements apparently, but still no 'Fortnightly' setting under Repetition, which I'm not impressed with!
Am liking the new 'Eye comfort' mode though, which I've enabled more or less on a permanent basis. Apart from the drop-down Shortcuts menu in the pic below, it can also be accessed via Settings > Display > Eyesight Protection.
"Eye comfort mode filters out blue light to help relieve visual fatigue when you read for a long period of time. In eye comfort mode, the screen will have a yellowish tint. This is normal"

Hi RamsesP
I read Magisk forum to root the P8 with the B394 firmaware but I couldn't understand how it works (as I understood it needs building a new boot image).
Do You have any trick to do it ?

B394 now has Google certification.

Updated successful with UL00 model. But theme doesnt show store to download, local themes only. Anyone got same problem?

It offered my the update through the phone's built in updater. Nice
It MADE me update by nagging me constantly.

Link is dead. What is going on with Huawei servers? It's impossible to DL the latest firmware B394..... Please help

Huawei P8 Lite Ale - L02 Marshmallow

Firmware release 16/5/2016
Official website for ale l02: consumer.huawei.com/tw/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=80850
Extract
Copy the update.app to DLOAD folder (SD CARD STORAGE)
Normal Upgrade / Local Update
DONE.
PS: Copy the url since im new. :good:
Has anyone tried this? Any feedback with performance and battery drain?
Sent from my ALE-L02 using XDA-Developers mobile app
My unit is l02 too. So far no lags and delay plus Good battery drain. "depends how you use your phone".
Battery is shorter for me (could be some Rogue app like Facebook)
Performance is much better, no more memory leak
Some UI annoyances fixed, like material navigation bar, Camera settings animation lag
Battery settings is worse, too many unnecessary sub-menus
Still no Music Equalizer, but there's a new DTS sound effect which enhances audio quality on good head/earphones
Overall its an update I highly recommend!!!
Has anybody found a successful root method for this build?
Can you update straight to this? I'm on B140 in New Zealand. Cheers

You need stock recovery and be unrooted to update OTA. You need to download from the links above and side load onto your phone.
Does anyone have a link to all the stock rom's?

Problem -- Music folder
Flashed B380, everything is fine. One thing that drives me crazy -- on inernal memory, there is a Music folder that appeared after update, with some songs on it, and it cannot be deleted, nor folder nor files... Tried it from file manager, windows, adb (permission denied)... Still, folder and file permissions look fine... Any ideas, please?
Why is everyboday asking if someone tried and if it works fine?! I wrote in the OP that I tried and it works fine.
B380 seems to be very smooth.
Already flash this rom and so far so good but too bad all my themes and fonts collection in HWThemes folder (internal storage) is wiped.
New features found so far :
- Display network speed
- Users mode (option to set as owner or guest)
- Huawei ID now working (not new features but before this i can't access it, at least where i live)

Same problem trying to upgrade... ?
There's a problem with the "update.zip" file. Some files are missing. You can see this error when flashing with TWRP Recovery.
Huawei is not responsible to FIX ANYTHING! Unofficial firmwares, test firmwares, beta firmwares, call it like you want, downloaded from their servers, without their knowledge?!? What do you want exactly?
Only people from Huawei knows why these files are uploaded at all, who must use them and for what to use them! Maybe there is a reason to be like that, so someone not to BROKE his phone!
When there is an update you will see it in Setting or Hicare app! Nowhere else! Period!
Just checked firmware finder and seems like they removed it.

The files are just update files on their servers, nothing to be so worried about, mate. No need to get your knickers in a knot.
Wait for the Full-Update PV file if you want to be able to flash it with success using the TWRP recovery (B383-B386). I got B383 working as the PV file which contained both the full update with two files.

Update 535 C00 has been pushed officially

If your HiCare region is not set to China, set it to China, then search for an update either in HiCare or Settings -> Update. You will then be eligible for the push.
Haven't tried other Asian regions, but it wasn't pushing to my device with Europe set in HiCare.
Speed, battery life and network performance seem to be significantly improved.
Thank you,
works very well your tip.
Hey Friends,
I used FirmwareFinder to download the 3 OTA-MF (not FullOTA-MF) files.
Is it possible to install the update with TWRP and HuRUpdater without loosing any data and without the need to reinstall all installed apps?

I'd also like to know this.
Also, if the bootloader locks again when doing/flashing an update, can the same old unlock code be used or do I have to request a new code?
Thx
Today I received the update 8.0.0.555.
After all these Years there are still Updates

Hi Letschky! How are you?
I'm still using the Honor Note 8 and love the size.
I was on B538 happily but something happened. I had to relock and unlock the bootloader (To write a new recovery. Seems after a few years it relocks while still showing "unlocked" in fastboot. So weird.) and I didn't know it would factory reset the thing. Then I couldn't unlock the bootloader because Find My Phone got turned on somehow, and the thing was bootlooping. So frustrating.
Anyway. There doesn't seem to be a way to get back to B538 anymore. Hisuite Proxy doesn't work for me. Have you tried it? With official Hisuite you can go to B359 and B528 then B539. I couldn't root B539 so had to settle for B528.
Now I'm contemplating updating all the way to B555 or whatever the newest is, and try to extract the boot.img and patch it with magisk. The only problem is, how the hell do I get a hold of boot.img? It seems TWRP for Oreo broke after B53X somewhere. They must have switched to a different partition configuration.
Now I'm on B528 and battery life isn't great but I did get root and xposed to work.
I can't figure out where official Hisuite is downloading the firmware update. Do you know? It's not in /data/media/0/HwOUC/ which some people report.
Cheers! /Mike

Short version: Are you running 555 rooted? May I ask how?
Thank you so much.
Patched Boot.img via Magisk
I added the Patched Boot img.
Unpack with Winzip and flash via Fastboot
fastboot flash ramdisk magisk_patched-25205_hnSnL.img
For me works root without any Problem.

You sir are a life saver! Is this on 555?
I would like to share something I found with you, if I get it to work on 555. On B538 I used a custom stock rom wanmei, and in it there's a config app called Mobile. There are TONS of features but for me only ONE feature that's been really freaking useful to me. It's to disable the temp sensor. It enables full speed charging. Stock charging often slows down to 1200mA but with this it blasts 2700mA until 80% (I use BatteryChargeLimit anyway to stop at 80-85%). I've been charging like this for years and no battery degradation. That's why I want to stay on B528 or B538 where this app works. I want to try it on B555 too.
Also. I have found that the default CPU governor isn't "interactive" on the slower cores. Only on the faster ones. Setting this to "interactive" gives a nice battery and speed boost compared to performance/conservative/ondemand. This app Mobile can set the governnor too. Mobile requests root access upon first launch. I hope it works on 555 too, after I extract it from the system/app on my B528. I remember after B538 it became a PAID app. You had to pay the developer like 20 usd to activate it. Sneaky. Anyway, I have the free one I can share with you.
Here they are if you're interested.
These are all the custom folders I could find in system/app. The app itself is only the Hwsystemmobile folder but I don't know if it has dependencies in the other ones.
Been using this for years. Took me a long time to translate. The setting I love is at the bottom of the screenshot. ”核心温控“ turn that on. From the main menu you first need to enter the sub page ”其他功能“ (other functions).
In ”其他功能“ you can also set the cpu governor etc.
Yes for 555.
Have you a Link or can upload the wanmei rom?

It actually works to flash this over a stock B528 even though it's meant for B538. The system remains B528 but Mobile works normally without bugs. I've used it for a week now as a daily driver.
It's possible to revert to B528 using official Hisuite. Gotta go to B359 first.
Let me know if you manage to get anything to work. I used to get 8h screen on time on B538. I miss that. With B528 I seem to get like 5h. Terrible.
How's 555?
Other features Mobile has are things like enabling VoLTE, enabling RAM compression, gaming modes, hiding status/nav bars, disabling automatic updates, etc.
I do seem to have more free RAM on B528. I never saw 2.4GB free on B538 but on B528 I did. I'd still take the better battery if I had to choose one.
ok thank you, (Downloading)which Twrp to use to install this Rom?The is Multilanguage?
555 is not bad,i use it since the Update..4,5 Hours SOT in almost three days of use
Ok i flash directly via DLOAD Method from 555 to 528.The next Update is 539 and not 538.You say it works on 528?Works this rom on 539?

Hi! I live in China so sorry for the late reply.
You flash that wanmei firmware in fastboot. There's a bat file (to run the bat you need to set windows language settings "Non-unicode" programs default language = Chinese simplified). Yeah it works on B528. I don't know how but it works. I'm using it since a few days.
In B539 if you try to flash it fails when flashing system.img. I suspect the names of the partitions changed around B539. Boot.img is flashed to "ramdisk" now, not boot. This is also why twrp doesn't work right I think.
Are you using a working twrp in 555? I tried flashing one oreo twrp.img dated July 2018 (the newest I could find) and it can't get write access. The log is just full of errors.
4.5h SOT on 555 oh nooo. I'll still try it and see what I get. If this is really the case i'll pay a chinese shop to get me back to B538. They said they can.
How about available RAM? After a reboot, can you see more than 2.0GB free in Recent Apps?

New Updates for the Honor 5C (L21, L23, L51) Jan. 2020

Hey guys,
suddenly there poped up a system update (B366 OTA) for my NEM-L51, which suprised me, because we haven't got any updates since Nov. 18 (B365),even for L21.
Now there seem to be B366 and B369 available( Jan. 2020), according to: https://pro-teammt.ru/online-firmware-database-ru/?firmware_model=nem-l51&firmware_page=0 and my OTA Updater.
I am quite suprised and wondering what they have to offer, but I can't find any real Patchnotes, the ones linked in the Updater : https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/bulletin/2019/8/ refere to an "M3 Lite(CPN-L0J)".
So, a quick reminder, check your update, and maybe let me know what changed for you, especially concerning root and magisk.
This update improves system security with Android security patches.
Integrates Android security patches for improved system security. For more information on the security of Huawei EMUI system updates, please visit the official Huawei website: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/bulletin/2019/8/
Adds the AppGallery app, offering you more comprehensive app downloads and updates.
1. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating. 2. If you encounter any issues during the update, please call the Huawei customer service hotline or visit a Huawei customer service center for assistance.

Hello,
Well, with this update I have lost the USB debugging.
The option comes out. And it can change: on - off, but it really doesn't work. It also does not obey the USB configuration types, so there is no way to recognize it neither the PC nor ADB, and therefore the impossibility of connecting to the PC or doing root.
Sorry my nem-l51c432b130 dont want to find any new update, im on android 6 emui 4.1.2,how can i install the android 7 emui 5 or newer version, i dont even know the last version, thanks for help!
... please write me in private !
Just installed B366, it has the august '19 patches and a few UI Tweaks, there is an App Drawer now, Twin Apps are missing.
My fastboot is working for TWRP (Elite TWRP 3.2.1) and Magisk root (Boot Image Patching Method, https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html )
Had to upgrade through eRecovery after fastbooting the original B365 Recovery.
EDIT: Factory Resets using the TWRP Factory Reset Function break Bluetooth and NFC, only the "fresh" installation has functioning Bluetooth/NFC. Again eRecovery is very useful to get a fresh ROM, now its directly to B366.
Used the HuRUpdater_0.4 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 ) to get to B369, nothing new there.
Edit2: The calendar widget is still broken.
