Flashing Stock ROM guide for Honor 8 Pro? - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
This will be my first ever Honor device so I've no experience in flashing Stock ROM through fastboot in Honor devices.
Can anyone link me to any guide? It's okay if the guide is for another device if the process is same, I just need guidlines.
Is this the tutorial to flash Stock ROM? https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/oeminfo-c432-t3625886
Do we have full ROM packages like Xiaomi devices or can we flash System image through fastboot to update the device? or we can flash stock recovery to update on a rooted device and then flash the TWRP again?
PS- will be rooting the device on the first day so just curious.

That tutorial is for rebranding. Not for reflashing stock. For that you can take a look at the Honor 8. You can find lots of guides there that are applicable ti the 8 Pro. And yes for your last question.

Honor have a bit difficult system to update if u don't want wait for OTA or for raflash firmware. I recommned for start factory reset if is something wrong, after try to use this guide which is already for 8 pro, here u can find all firmwares https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/guide-firmware-finder-honor-8pro-t3634095 but is hard to which right, so fisrt take the look on official web sites.

small advice: if u have any q about update phone try to ask before or make a search, because is easy to stay on NRDtestkeys, but this is long story about Honor Nougat firmwares

Oreo on my PD

Finally Oreo was approved for installation. I used Firmware Finder to download and install it, it didn't show up yet when checking with system update. It's a large download, so it takes quite a while. The installation itself is just a few minutes. All settings are maintained and all seems to run well at the moment.
Oops, title is wrong. I hate automatic spelling checks sometimes.
Most things are the same. The camera can now take 3D images. A few extra settings in portrait mode. More options for preventing apps to auto-start or running in the background. I like the touch-and-hold on the app icons. So far no problems detected.
GPS now uses several Gallileo satelites.
See attached image
Thanks for the heads up.......Oreo running smoothly on my PD

Hi Guys,
from which country?
What new ROM reference?
thanks,
Use firmware finder, instructions inside app. Watch the video on utube. It will take you through the steps
Two things, don't choose top update this is the full system, you want the second which is the update, secondly disconect the vpn when the download starts.
Only go down the this update route if you are clear on what you are doing. If things go wrong you could end up with a bricked phone.
What we are doing is cheating the system, now the update is on the server it will be available to all in a couple of weeks via the normal upadate process.

Dear Sho-Bund,
Finally, I controlled yesterday and the new ROM 8.0.0.360 accepted firmware access.
After downloading during reset, TWRP 3.0.2.2 prevents the procedure and after reboot system through TWRP.
Before updating, I relocked phone (fastboot mode; FRP is unlocked)
I have never rooted my phone. Very difficult on Android 7 plus I think after rooting, you cannot update a normal firmware only customs roms.
Harghhh !
before, I read we cannot uninstall twrp. A solution?
Rebranding procedure? the Funky Huawei is yhe alons solution for rebranding.
Or another solution?
Anyway, many thanks for your first reply and thanks if you can help.

If i want to upgrade u need to be on Stock Recovery.
U can download your Firmware and use HuaweiUpdateExtractor and extract stock recovery from update.app then flash stock recovery by ADB.

Dont have a guide, but download Multi-Tool and there is a guide on how to do it. I think your bootloader must be unlocked.

Thanks for your link.
Basically, I know this tool but never worked with it.
So, today official OREO LON-L29 8.0.0.360 is setup on official update procedure.
I will see if phone will be reversed on stock ROM withouth blocked with TRWP.
Otherwise, I will proceed with multi tool 7.1.
hey all
i'm a new owner of a mate 9 porsche design, the design is awsome and the price too
i'm on oreo official now
but i did a benchlerk between it and my old normal mate 9 the potos i took with the mate 9 were better then thoese taken by the PD
is that normal?
I don't have a normal Mate 9 so I can't compare personally, but I've read a test in the past and it showed that the graphic benchmark was a bit lower, caused by the higher resolution of the PD. The benchmark of the Porsche Design is higher after I updated to Oreo.

Try both and enjoy. Why limit to one ROM
Stock ROM is somewhat stable
With custom ROM you will get android pie

Just flash ROM and gapps and don't flash firmware while flashing custom ROM
While flashing stock MIUI ROM use fastboot ROM to flash and there won't be any chances of brick. MiFlash software checks bootloader index before flashing a ROM so it is safer way

So Finally installed GCAM after unlocking the bootloader , installed Redwolf recovery & rooted with Magisk & its working good. Will i be able to upgrade to MIUI 10 with OTA or have to follow some other process?
Also, which ROM & kernel setup do you use.
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can upgrade to MIUI10.. but you have to flash full recovery ROM, still you will get OTA update from xiaomi but its always recommended to flash complete recovery ROM

If possible then how to revert back from MIUI 10 Pie to MIUI 10 Oreo

Hi all
My note 5 pro is Global ver, 6gb/64gb. I was on Oreo last ver, just before few days I received notification for Pie, so without a 2nd thought I downloaded and installed that. The Pie ver is stable 10.3.1.0 PEIMIXM and now regretting why I did that. The battery drain is horrible, it drains like crazy, on Oreo my battery used to last at least 2 to 2.5 days whereas this one just dies in 1 day, the usage is less then the previous usage in Oreo.
Now the question is how can I revert back to Oreo from this Pie, if at all possible.
The phone does not have TWRP but the bootloader is Unlocked.
Any help is appreciated.

its been awhile since i have flashed anything on a phone. last time i did it was on my note 4...anyways, i also want to do this since my battery doesn't last long and dual apps for Pokemon Go, isn't working like i had it before.
my bootloader is locked. I know i have to unlock it via MUI website and write the reason i wan to unlock it. how long does it take for them to unlock it?
what should i write to them?
does unlocking the bootloader mean its rooted or do i have to have a custom rom?
also, im confused on what model my phone is. i checked my model name: its M1803E7SH
i checked online and it says that its the redmi note 5 as well as the redmi note 5 pro..so im wondering if this method will work on my phone. pleaaaase help

You dont have to write any reason to unlock bootloader.
visit en.miui.com/unlock page login with your mi account and proceed with unlocking procedure, you may need to wait 360 hours before unlocking bootloader (depending on your mi account activity)
your's is Redmi Note 5/Pro model name WHYRED. you can download Redmi Note 5 Pro ROM package and flash it on your mobile

Process should be same but i would not recommend, as several people have reported bricked phone while reverting from later pie versions to oreo.
I myself tried it when initial pie was released and did not face any issue.
Another challenge would be to find oreo raw firmware, there is no official link available as per my knowledge so have to be careful before downloading from 3rd party site.

Redmi note 9 (Merlin): How to Downgrade from Android 12 ( MIUI 13.0.1) to android 10

Please how do I flash/downgrade my Redmi note 9(3/64gb) Merlin to android 10 (maybe to MIUI 12.0.4 or 12.0.6). I'm already on Android 12 MIUI 13.0.1.
My phone hangs alot, apps force closes after minimizing. Please help me out. What do I do and how do I go about it?
Did you try to allow apps to keeps open on developer settings?
If you really want to downgrade, so:
First, backup data.
Then, just flash MIUI version you want.
If the device got bootloop, just format data.

Did you try to do a factory reset? Most of the time, when you change the version of MIUI, if it is not done, it slows down and gives errors as it happens to you.

I flashed custom recovery on my note 9 Merlin and downgraded to 11.0.4 (A10) from 13.0.1 (a12), now I'm getting OTA update of 12.0.8, can I install the update with custom recovery and unlocked bootloader?
Note: I want to install another version of MIUI on Android 10 because my proximity sensor started having issues after the downgrade.
