Oreo Beta EMUI 6 feedback - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

As most of us have not been able to partake in the Oreo Beta program it would be nice if we could get some feedback from those lucky users that were able to get into the beta program.
Have you been able to unlock and root the Beta firmware?
What problems have you had?
Which new features do you like?

Unlock yes, root no.
Going system root might work. Systemless will be tricky as the boot partition is split into a ramdisk partition and a kernel partition. And some files that used to be in ramdisk could be in /system now, I haven't investigated much (this is the case with OPO3 Oreo).
But I like Oreo so I hope Magisk will work with it in the future.

Thanks for the feedback.
Well I only need root to get rid of garbage app Huawei and other vendors install. In any case I can't imagine that SuperSu and Magisk won't figure it out.

I joined the beta program maybe 8 days ago got accepted but still waiting for the update to come on the phone....

I downloaded the Huawei Beta App here:
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/fut/
Have applied, according to the app I am 4/500. The App looks very professional and well-designed. Looking forward to trying out Orea early, bravo Huawei. I'm not a rooter etc, will be using as a regular heavy user.

I rebranded to L29C636 from L09C34 a few weeks ago and just applied for the Australian Mate 9 Oreo update. Was 5/500, get in quick people

I am on Oreo since a week approx. and I am experiencing a limited responsiveness of the touch screen, especially on the bottom part esp. when navigation bar is hidden....anybody else making this experience?

Currently downloading B321a for C432. Going to check if I can get magisk working and if it's like OPO3 Oreo where stuff was moved from ramdisk to /vendor...

Yes I can unlock the phone with the Beta android O. I flash the twrp from:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4...Eh2aDFLM3JlYkU
Then I flash the supersu from :
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579485056
I now have root on my android o. It is emui 8 not emui 6.
Make sure you flash twrp correctly by check out this page : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/preliminary-twrp-3-1-1-0-mate-9-emui-8-t3687622

I have no problem with android o so far. However I have not used all features available with android o. I do not really care for the new features of android o or emui 8 (picture in picture, hide navigation bar, floating dock,...). In fact I like the settings of the emui 5 better.

Yes, for whatever reason there is no 'a' mentioned under build number. The a is in the internal Huawei build number so FunkyHuawei shows it like that.
Under further review, the phones do report the 321a to FunkyHuawei's server as the installed version regardless, so if you finished the install it is 321a. Nothing to worry about.

Interesting, I have L29C636 and it says there aren't any projects for my device. I wonder if it checks IP/DNS.

Android O for C636 exists, but it's an older version from September, branded as EMUI 6, before they decided to make it EMUI 8. Probably newer beta one coming soon. There are new ones for C900 (hw/normal) branding, Latin America branding, Russia branding... I just haven't released them.

I didn't install it yet, just downloaded update.zip and those. Mainly to check vendor image without installing it...
Edit: oh, duraaraa already answered

I got all the three Oreo files too via the HiSiute method, since even with a correct DNS setting, wherever I could stick it I got "Package information download failed". Installed via the HWOTA successfully though. The Oreo test build is quite buggy when it comes to Wireless tethering and LTE speeds. Feels much slower then my N European 194 build so far. Shows "Phone Overheating" a lot too, something I never saw on my N build either. Have yet to see how long the battery will last. See few differences in the camera, maybe added zoom in raw mode. Still no Monochrome Raw, or 1080p Timelapses.

I just got OTA
Hey everyone I just got the OTA update for EMUI 5.0. I don't want to install it yet until I know I can get TWRP back. Do you guys know if the update will remove TWRP? If the update does remove TWRP can I reinstall it using adb and fastboot? Also does Xposed work on nougat yet? Sorry for all of the questions I'm back on android after two years on Windows 10 Mobile and I'm a little out of the loop for a lot of this stuff. Thanks.

Update through HiCare?

Hello, so I'm currently waiting for the Nougat update to arrive on my Honor 8 (L09) but I noticed that I can upgrade with HiCare, so is this recommended or will it wipe my device? And should I use HiCare or just wait for the OTA in the updater app?
Hi! I did the update to EMUI b360 via the Hicare app on my L09 honor 8 and it went just fine. Lot of people here did the same without issues. It does not wipe the phone, but I still recommend you to do a backup before proceeding.
EMUI 5 works flawlessly, I really like it.
For your information, my phone is *not* rooted. I don't know what happens with updates when the phone is rooted

"Final beta" means exactly what it says on the tin. It's the least beta version. The next version will be the final release. Assuming that the report is correct.

Who said anything about final beta?
There may be a bug regarding safetynet so that Android Pay and other services might be affected. Source: https://club-us.hihonor.com/honor8....google-pay-nor-safety-checker-both-fail-.1577
Hope someone can confirm it here. So, be patient for those who haven't gotten the rollout. Let bugs resolved first.
WTF is a 'final beta'?? A beta is a beta. A final is a final. Let's not muddy the waters chaps...
B360 is the latest stable release that's being pushed to everyone. It's not a beta!
The reason that some have it and some don't is because they can't push it to everyone at the same time, they do it in waves depending on your model number, location and IMEI. If you don't have it yet just chill, it's on its way. It was due for February release anyway so think yourself lucky that you might be able to get it a little earlier if you do, if not you'll be getting it on time as expected.

hey AllieKitty,
i'm from germany and as i know so far the OTA 360 isn't rolled out at the moment in this country.
So i updated mit HiCare App to the version: 5.0.1.303 and changed my region to Europe/Country: Belgium
After this fix i recieved the update. It works fine.

No Nougat till now?!

Running BLN-L21 Which I bought in UAE, now im India, But im supposed to get the update and it's still June 1st! What the hell?!

Well, I really don't want to take the risk of updating with a third party application, It can run the risk of errors or packages not completely installed.
7.0 should've been on every Honor 6x Device by the end of May, unfortunately that's not true it seems

??? My girlfriend have Honor 6X for 2 weeks. I setup her phone and after first boot dont shows any OTA updates. No problem via Firmware Finder I install Nougat without any problems, this is fact!!

Probably not since OTAs get checked with Xiaomi's servers before flashing when using the official Updater / recovery. Most likely you'll get an error saying that the ROM is in Beta and you can't flash it

For me it is working nicely. I didn't notice any major bugs up until now. But signal strength is subjectively weaker than before... Maybe missing support for a certain band or so
Magisk 16.0 working fine (Chinese Variant 6/64GB, XE Model)

Awesome thanks, did they by chance update the messaging application to support group texting? I hate having to use a 3rd party app because such a basic feature is missing....

What is the android version? 8.0?

Just got my Honor View 10, where to start?

I was hoping that I could install Magisk and TWRP. I don't really care about custom ROMs, is it possible or am I out of luck? Some info about my device:
Build number is BKL-L04 8.1.0.105(C567)
EMUI is 8.0.0
Security patch is March 1, 2018
If it is possible, are there any guides?
Which 3rd party unlocking service should I go through? And before I proceed, should I update to the latest software version?
Thanks.

Nowadays Honor don't provide unlock codes, so you can't unlock bootloader to flash any TWRP or get root with Magisk.
There isn't 3rd party services to get the code
You'll enjoy this device totally stock

Ok cool. So I checked the devices on funky Huawei and I see BKL-L04 8.1.0.120(C567), but mine is BKL-L04 8.1.0.105(C567) so don't know if it'll work.. would it be possible to update to BKL-L04 8.1.0.120(C567) somehow?

I suggest you to go for other service it's cheaper. I don't think build number matters now unless they are rebranded.
They are providing codes based on I numbers.

Sweet, going to go ahead and update to 8.1.0.135 and then unlock the bootloader then. Do you happen to have links to working Magisk & TWRP by any chance? Thanks again for all the help.

Don't update, unlock first and then update. The lower the security patch the easier unlock.
