Video on firmware Huawei Honor 8

The Honor 8 Pro is a great device with performance comparable to that reviewed by the OnePlus 5. However, Android on Honor is not that great as there are various third party applications and built-in applications due to which user interface lags and slows down. So, if you want to have a pure Android OS on your Honor 8 Pro, you should consider reinstalling stock android and replacing it with a custom OS. And in this regard, you can follow and apply this step by step guide.

The custom firmware we're looking at is the new Android Paranoid platform. With build number 7.2, the new Paranoid Android system is based on Android 7.1 Nougat and comes clean in terms of pre-installed apps and processes. In addition, this firmware will provide stable and smooth operation and various customization options. Bottom line, the firmware should work without problems on Honor 8 Pro.

In any case, since you may not like how the new OS works, first of all, you should. This way you will be able to keep the Android firmware that is currently running on your Honor 8 Pro. So if after completing this upgrade guide you want to go back to stock firmware, you can do it without hassle using the same Nandroid fallback package.

The Paranoid Android firmware is developed by third parties and is therefore not available from Huawei or Google. Moreover, you cannot associate this operation with your OEM. In short, this is an unofficial version that Honor 8 Pro can be upgraded to. So, in conclusion, if you decide to apply the steps of this tutorial, you will void your phone's warranty - this happens when custom ROM is installed instead of stock Android ROM.

And, if you're not careful enough, you can lose your personal data, information, accounts, and files. You see, the new Paranoid Android 7.2 OS can only be successfully installed on the Honor 8 Pro if you clear the app data cache and do a hard reset during installation. So, without saving your personal files, you will lose everything, including contacts, call logs, SMS, pictures, videos, audio files, apps, internet settings, EFS folder, /NVRAM data, calendar information, saved passwords and more. You can use built-in platforms cloud storage on your Honor 8 Pro for proper operation Reserve copy or use any other similar backup and restore solution - for example, sync your data with your account Google entry or using special applications from the Play Store.

Installing custom firmware Paranoid Android 7.2 based on Nougat is only possible if your Honor 8 Pro . Yes, that's right - this particular update process requires an unlocked Android system. Also, a custom recovery is required - no, you can't use stock recovery to complete this custom update process. Therefore, before doing anything else, you should learn how to flash TWRP-recovery (or any other similar software) on your Honor 8 Pro. The custom recovery image will be used during the installation operation as the Paranoid Android firmware will be provided as a ZIP file.

This will be a manual update operation. Therefore, the steps below can only be successfully applied if the general prerequisites are applied first. For that matter, before doing anything else, review the following list:

  • You will need to download the firmware package based on Android Nougat to a computer or laptop.
  • If the download operation cannot be completed, consider temporarily disabling the security features that are running on your computer.
  • You will need a smartphone and its native USB cable; you will have to connect your phone to your computer during the update operation.
  • To ensure a proper connection between your devices, on Honor 8 Pro you must enable the USB debugging option, which is located in Settings, Developer options.
  • If the "developer options" option is not active, you need to go to the "About device" field, and there you must click several times on "Build number" until you get the message "You are a developer".
  • Before starting the Paranoid Android 7.2 update operation, Honor 8 Pro must be charged.
  • If the charge remaining in the phone is below 50%, the operating system may shut down right in the middle of the update process and various problems may occur.

Firmware is a set of built-in software smartphone, tablet or other digital device required for his normal functioning. In the smartphone, their Huawei tablets mainly use firmware based on the operating Android systems various versions, as well as proprietary graphical shell Emotion UI.

How to find out current version firmware?

To check the current software version, you need to go to Settings - About phone/About tablet PC - System update. The version is the three digits after the letter B.
For example, the build number V100R001C00B122 means that you have the 122nd firmware version installed. Any firmware with numbers greater than these is newer.

More about firmware versions:

So, let's take a look at the firmware numbering Huawei smartphones. For example, take the firmware from Huawei Ascend Mate-MT1-U06 V100R001C00B907.

As you probably guessed, MT1-U06 is the name of the device. MT1 is the main base, that is Huawei Mate, U06 – device revision. Devices come in different revisions, in this post I will not go into details of their designation, I will only say that the letter U is UMTS (regular 3G), and the letter C is the CDMA version. Devices with revision MT1-U06 are delivered to Russia.

CxxBxxxSPxx - This is the most important option in the firmware, it shows on which version of the “base” the Bxxx firmware is built - the numerical class of the base for the SPxx-firmware service number pack. The higher Bxxx and SPxx, the newer firmware. (Bxxx takes precedence over SPxx). Cxx is the region of the country.

Next, consider the firmware version itself - V100R001C00B907. V100 and R001 - the main version and revision of the firmware. They change in very rare cases, when there is a big change compared to previous version firmware (for example, moving from Android 2.x to 4.x). Even within android versions 4.x, these values ​​usually do not change.

C00B907 - for most new devices, the value of C00 no longer changes, but in general it means binding to the region. Now the region can be defined in the menu item “ Special version” – CUSTC10B907.

So, for smartphones, the region of Russia (channel / ru) is CUSTC10. The binding to the region is easily changed by a special firmware file, in some official firmware there is an update.app file in the cust folder weighing several megabytes or kilobytes, which changes the region to Russia.

B907 is the firmware version itself. I think there is no need to explain that the higher it is, the newer the firmware.

Where can I download official firmware for my model?

Currently, most smartphones with original software without modified system files firmware come with F OTA updates(Update "over the air"). If you have received root rights, or you have not yet received an update over the air, then you can download it yourself current version firmware from the official site and install it manually.

Delete the firmware file from the SD card or rename the dload folder if you don't want to accidentally update your tablet again!

Many of you have probably noticed that some of the latest firmwares for smartphones of the Chinese manufacturer that we have published are not available on the official Huawei website, but nevertheless they are present on the official servers of the manufacturer. Today we will tell you how to find and download firmware for Huawei and Honor devices using computer program Firmware Finder and its mobile version.

PC version of the program

Firmware Finder for PC Windows control is designed to search and store firmware from the company's official servers for devices from Huawei and Honor. In the general database, there are more than 20,000 different updates (at the time of this writing) for various devices from a Chinese manufacturer. The main advantage of the computer version of the program is the ability to independently search for fresh software, as well as access to a common database, which is constantly updated by the Team MT team and ordinary users.

Estimated system requirements:

  • Operating system: Windows Vista SP1, 7, 8, 10
  • Installed .NET Framework 4.5.2
  • dial-up connection

List of Firmware Finder features for PC:

  • Search for firmware by bands
  • Search for firmware in a common database created by developers and users

The Firmware Finder program is completely Russified, and therefore it does not make sense to describe all the interface elements, but we will point out the main points when using it. In the "Common base" tab, the user can get acquainted with all the found firmware for mobile devices Huawei and Honor. One page displays 200 updates. Page turning is carried out using buttons with more or less icons, but you can also display the entire list of firmware by clicking the "View all firmware" button. The list can be sorted by the model number of the device or even by adding the region (C10-Russia) and the firmware version if you know it. The firmware window displays the date the software was added on the server, the device model, the full name of the firmware, a link to the list of changes, a link to the update file, file size, type, and the range of values ​​in which the update is located. The "Home" tab sets the range of values ​​for searching for the latest firmware if the manufacturer has them. This will be useful for those who are always on the lookout for new software, including beta versions, and don't want to wait for the cherished availability alert on their phone or tablet. For example, if you set the G field to 753 and g to 104, the program will find updates for Honor 6, Honor 6 Plus, Honor 4C, Honor 4X, as well as Huawei Mate 7, P8 Lite, P8, Mate S on the servers , Ascend G620S and Ascend Y550. You can find out the value for the required device model from the general firmware database, where all these values ​​\u200b\u200bare indicated.


The entire list of firmware in the browser is a link (from the developer's site)

Mobile version of the program

The mobile version of the Firmware Finder is slightly different from its desktop version. Its most important difference is the lack of the ability to search for new updates, however, there is a search for firmware in the general database. This means that fresh versions software will be added by application developers.

List of Firmware Finder features for Android:

  • Search for firmware in a common database
  • Multi-threaded download with 128 streams and a maximum speed of 5 Mbps
  • Unpacking the UPDATE.APP file from the archive

Available settings of the Firmware Finder application:

  • Show OTA updates - shows in the list the firmware versions for updating
  • Show notifications - shows information about actions on the notification panel
  • Show latest firmware- shows updates for the current month
  • Search based on current device localization - search ignores smartphone submodel (AL10, L01, TL01, etc.) and shows all devices available for the model
  • Use SD card (Experimental) - experimental feature for uploading files to a memory card
  • Sound notification - gives sound signal after download is complete
  • Streaming download ( Inner memory) - increase the download speed if the download speed is less than available maximum speed the Internet
