How to install Honor Note 8 Emui 5.0 B350/B332/B320 ROM with Root

[AngelDeath]

Well after trying for 3 hours I dont know what I did but I got my phone working again. But I have the question, did anyone happen to get the Nougat upgrade from Huawei and they happened to save it? Seems the rom when its downloaded gets saved to C:\documents\username\hisuite\rom\*, Unfortunately I didnt realize that after it installs on your phone it deletes the zip packages. Unless thats what the zip files in this post are from, because as I said it seems there are settings and features missing, and I dont know if its from this downloaded rom, the unlocking of the bootloader, or the decrypted boot image file. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Install from B022 or B027 the img files System,cust,Recovery and Boot via Fastboot.
The Phone is not working,Bootloops and not Boot into System.
Boot into eRecovery and Download the latest Recovery and this Restore to Emui 4.1

I'm having problems copying Apps on System/App folder. When I try copying the APK file, it says there is not enough space. I even tried in TWRP and it is says it can't copy it. I even tried mounting the system folder. Any ideas?

Delete Unnecessary Apps from System/app and System/priv-app,then is more memory free

What bugs that you faced after booting the Rom ? Is this version stable for daily use

And Thank you so much for posting this thread

I use daily since one Week,no Problems with it

Welcome back, boss. Till now I also stay on emui5. Freeze powergenie somve some problems, and battery consuming faster then 4.1... Do you have some other mods, and debloat guide what apps to delete, freeze?

I have no Problems with anyone,all works very good and Battery i found is better as 4.1.
I debloated with Root Explorer and delete all unnecessary Apps from
System/app and System/priv-app and
data/hw_init/system/app and
data/hw_init/version/region_comm/china/app and
data/hw_init/version/region_comm/china/themes

Is your Phone rooted or root activated in Es File Explorer?

Unfortunately, I do not understand this best... Install update.app is not enough?

Well I had a horrible night with this phone and trying to go back to stock. Someone really needs to make a clean step by step because I near bricked my phone trying to get back to Stock and lock the bootloader to test something out. Followed all the steps and it didnt work, in fact my phone went to error mode saying there was no boot or recovery. and couldnt turn off the phone, finally had to let the phone die so I could get to a "third" (as I call it) recovery so I could then get to fastboot and then reflash the decrypted boot and twrp so restore my backup. I dont have the time right now but later tonight I'll give more detail, but as of right now nothing I'm doing is bringing me back to root, not the Update.app in the dload folder on either the phone or the sdcard, or the "recovery over wlan" which doesnt find anything, or the fastboot mode and the hisuite recovery. Trying to flash cust.img and system.img fails because its too large, only boot.img and recovery.img flash (Stock) but that doesnt seem to be enought o get back to stock B027 rom.

Apparently I am the only one where it works properly

Ok as promised, here is what I have tried and pictures to show how I this isnt working:

1) Fastboot and using Hisuite to download the official rom, as you can see package doesnt exist error. (1st Picture) This did work before unlocking and flashing.

2) Recovery by adding Dload to the phone and also attempting on sdcard (Using the update.app to restore the phone) (2nd Picture) This did work before unlocking and flashing.

3) 2nd Recovery where its suppose to allow you to wipe/format data etc, doesnt exist on this phone, Downloading latest recovery by WLan (3rd Picture)

4) #3 failing to download recovery package through WLan (Last Picture) This did NOT work before unlocking and flashing.

Now the next thing I tried was to go into Fastboot and try and flash what letschky each img:

Fastboot flashed boot.img (success)
Fastboot flash recovery.img (success)
Fastboot flash cust.img (failure) File too big Max limit size, remote error.
Fastboot flash system.img (failure) File too big Max limit size, remote error.

Flashing the recovery.img and the encrypted boot.img back and putting the phone into recovery didnt work.

In case anyone is wondering, I am trying to get back to the rom b027 which was android 6.0 with emui 4.1, I was able to download the official Nougat 7.0 from Huawei, but I wanted to experiement and unlocked the bootloader and used the decrypted boot.img to flash the Nougat 7.0, now I cant get back to official stock Anyone have any ideas?

I finally got back to stock!! Completely crazy way but who cares I got stock back and it downloaded EMUI 5.0! So I now have a working way to get back to stock when needed! So now I can experiment!
