I can't seem to find any working link for the Honor 8 FRD - L09C432B521 Android 8.0 Oreo firmware ..can I just skip that and install Android 9 lineage os ?
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 thanks for the reply ,yes the link in the description works, so the custom roms found in wayback machine don't require Android Oreo firmware or Emui 8? Im currently on Android 7 Emui 5.0.4 unlock bootloader with twrp recovery following your excellent tutorial
You NEED EMUI 8/ANDROID 8 for the roms in wayback machine link. EMUI 5/ANDROID 7 WON'T WORK, you need to upgrade to EMUI 8 before flashing Lineage 16. There is a section "EMUI 8-based builds" (where Lineage 16 is) that can be used for devices with EMUI 8. There's also "EMUI 9-based builds" and those are only for devices that got official EMUI 9.
It's a bit confusing because EMUI 8-based ROM's are Android 9 and EMUI 9-based ROM's are Android 10. With Honor 8 only EMUI 8-based roms can be flashed and those need to be flashed on top of EMUI 8, not EMUI5/EMUI7.
@@kiingboy My channel's description has a link to a mirror with update files. It's easiest to upgrade to oreo with a service firmware (keep in mind it will erase your phone).
Hi, i was able to download the files and there's a mirror with those, but can't post the link, no matter what i try the comment with link gets deleted.
Yes, it's painful trying to hunt down the correct firmware with most links now long dead. Why do you need a firmware, do you have a working 8 Lite or in some way bricked?
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 I am finding the firmware since last two weeks but all the sites seem to be dead including all those hicloud and androidfilehost links
Honor 8a has a Mediatek SOC, so nothing in this video applies to that phone, these things only work on some Kirin SOC devices like Honor 8 and Honor 8 lite (2017).

No you can't skip it, the lineage 9 requires you to have 8.0 stock rom. Is the wayback machine link i put in the description working for you?

And are you currently on nougat or oreo? Bricked or working phone? Do you want to upgrade to oreo?
Really nice work sir. But this went right over my head. Way, way to complicated.
Well, we can thank Huawei for making it this difficult.
honor 8a can be unlock bootloader?

I can't confirm if that is possible or not, i don't have that PC.
Is there way to update honor 8 without computer?
Well depends from what version to what version you want to upgrade?
