Huawei Honor 8 Pro has been updated to EMUI 8 (Android 8.0 Oreo), but if your device’s bootloader is unlocked and installed a custom recovery like TWRP on it, then you will not be able to install the official Oreo OTA update on it. So, the only way to get the official Oreo update on this device is a manual installation. Here is a simple way to get EMUI 8 on a bootloader unlocked Honor 8 Pro DUK-L09 variant.
If you have installed TWRP custom recovery on your Honor 8 Pro and would like to get the latest official Android 8.0 Oreo on it, then there is a simple tool called ‘Full OTA ROM Flasher’. Thanks to the developer Nanortemis, this tool helps install the Oreo update on your device very easily. Follow the below guide.
