Stock ROM now available on Honor website

[ranphi]

I've been keeping an eye on the Honor 8 forums at XDA, hoping this info would become available eventually. According to a user post there, this is how you would flash an Honor 8 back to stock:

"If you want to restore to a completely stock phone, Huawei phones have a nice built in feature called e-Recovery. You can get into this mode through holding Volume Up when booting. (I believe the phone needs to be plugged into a computer at the time as well.) eRecovery will download the latest images direct from Huawei and flash the phone automatically. I've used it a few times to recover a device I've completely screwed up."

And here's the download link for the stock ROM from Honor's website:

detail - support

*NOTE: this is for the USA model, FRD-L04

Also note: I haven't done any of the above myself yet, so I can't speak to its veracity.

Pretty nice that they make it easy to go back to stock

sorry if this sounds like a simple question, but "stock" here means the version of android/emui that the phone was originally shipped with right? e.g. emui 4.1?

Correct.
