Problem of switching back to Gem-702l android6.0

Hi,
I really need some help. My phone is gem-702l model, on B112 stock rom of 703l.
Now that Huawei has released a stock Android 6.0 (B201) for gem-702l, I am thinking about switching back.
Here are the thing I did and problem that stopped me.
1. I updated to B209 following the instruction in XDA without any problem.
2. When successfully on B209, I downloaded my stock B201 rom in Huawei website and extracted the 5 required img files: recovery, system, boot, cust, userdata
3. I fastboot flash the 5 img files and reboot. So far so good. The About Pone is correct except internal storage volume.
4. I factory reset and format the internal SD. Now everything in About Phone is correct.
5, I put the dload of b201 in my MicroSD. Strangely there's no "update from SD Card" option, So I use the three key(power, vol+/-)to hard flash the whole dload directory. It failed.
THe problem is : it seems that I can only fastboot flash 5 img files of 702l, there's no way of doing the whole dload update.
Now my phone is not fully converted to Gem-702l. it's kind of half 703l and half 702l in android 6.0.
Is there anything I missed or anything I can do to make it fully converted to 702l?
Please help! thank you so much.

First you need to go back to the last 703L 5.1 system (B112) then flash the universal cust mod, then try the dload to B201. You also may have to go back to the last 702L 5.0 rom before you try to update to B201 but i'm not totally sure.

thanks.
I downgraded to B112 successfully and then tried the dload update. It didn't even go through the first 5 seconds and failed. I guess it's because my phone's on 703L cust so the 702l stock rom didn't apply to it.
As for downgrading to 5.0, there's still no way of doing that for 702l, so I am still stuck here.
******edited***
I just "fake flashed" back to5.0, which means fastboot flash the required img files, and tried to dload update to B201 of 702l.
It's still not working. Now I am at my wit's end.

Flash the B112 universal cust in TWRP then fastboot flash back the stock recovery, then try the dload again. If that doesn't work, flash twrp, then the cust mod, then the stock recovery then so a factory reset from settings. If the reset completes successfully then flash twrp again then the cust mod then stock recovery then try the dload method again.

That's exactly what I did. The dload just wouldn't go beyond 5 seconds.
The problem, I think, is that the universal cust marked the phone as 703l(that's the point of universal cust), but the stock rom B201 is for 702l. Therefore, the first 5 seconds of dloading when it verified the model, the stock rom and the model just didn't match. So the dload failed.
There's no flashable cust for 702l to make the phone match the requirement of stock B201 rom. I think this might be where the problem is.

The cust mod includes the cust from the 701L and 702L as well so it should work as long as you go back to B112. What is the reason you want to go back to the 702L firmware?

There are certain functions that only exist in my region, such as the nationwide SMS warning regarding natural disasters. It's a system that being developing in my country. All phone brands will integrate the thing in their roms and push out for OTA. I would like to be on the receiving end. Also, If I need to RMA my phone someday, it will be nice to be able to switch back to stock rom for warranty.
I thought it was easier to switch between models when they were both on the same version of Android. I was wrong.

Hello,
Where can I find the Android 6.0 (B201) for gem-702l ?
Thanks

Here. But it's for Taiwan gem-702l and it's still a test version, I am not sure if it's applied to other region.
I'll advise you to wait a bit longer for the official version to be out.

Ok, thanks for the input!

How can I flash the CUST partition back on?

Hello,
I recently went through a lot trying to get Android 7.0 on my Honor 8 since it would not let me get the Android 7 update. I ended up soft-bricking the phone and after lots of hassle, managed to restore it. The only thing that is not restored is the CUST partition. I erased it using TWRP thinking that the Android 7.0 update would have updated apps or something but then when I found out it didn't, I got the original CUST image from Huawei Update Extractor.
Here's where the problem is, every time I use fastboot to flash CUST, it gives me an error saying "FAILED (remote: partition error)" and then when I try it with TWRP it says "Cannot flash images to file systems".
I saw that people have put their update.app file in a dload folder on their SD card, however this won't work for me because my Android 7.0 update.app file does not contain CUST.img and the factory update.app is not compatible with the phone because of the EMUI 5.0 update.
Does anyone know how I can sort this without using the "three finger method"(pressing Up, down, power at same time to install from update.app)?
Thanks.
EDIT: Ignore this thread. Ended up flashing recovery back on then restoring the device to its original firmware of 6.0. Thought it wouldn't work but it did

My model is FRD-L09 if that helps.

Hello. I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve this? Thank you. Charles.

I did resolve it but it was so long ago I do not remember how. I think it may have been a different version of TWRP or something but I don't know.

Actually it might have been through a full factory restore using the default recovery software that comes on the phone. I downloaded the recovery pack from Huwei's website and used their software to do a full restore which also restored the CUST partition.
I hope that makes sense and helps. It took a lot of time and constant back tracking and starting at square one to get it back to how it was.

Reverting to stock [SOLVED]

I have been trying to revert to stock with no luck. What I want to do is install the latest update, but I can't because I had twrp installed. I flashed the original recovery. The problem is when I try to use eRecovery I get "Getting package info failed" error. when I try to download the b385 full update for the FRD-L04 I get a dead link. I was able to download the rollback package, but will I be able to get back to the latest version after I install the rollback package? when I try to use other update packages for my phone I get "Incompatibility with current version" error. Do I need to lock my bootloader in order to update? The good news is that my phone works fine, bad news is that I can't up date.
build number: FRD-L04C567B385
Thanks

Thanks for the link, I just been to heck and back with this phone. first I uninstalled Magisk. After that my phone wouldn't boot, it would just hang on the blue screen after the initial boot screen. I tried to find a stock boot Image for my version. Once I installed that my phone would boot loop so I managed to get into fastboot and flash TWRP. Once in TWRP I restored my B360 backup and got my phone working again. Then I flashed the stock recovery. Tried to boot into the stock recovery but that wouldn't load. Some how I got it to install the rollback package and now i'm at version B300. Good news is I'm back to stock and can boot int the stock recovery. Time to see if I can update to the latest version.
Edit I think I might have a problem. It won't let me update also it shows my phone as "FRD-L04C900" not "FRD-L04C567" is there any way I can fix this?

I think you will have to restore you oeminfo partition backup through twrp.

On mr FRD-L09, I had to relock my bootloader, then get the rollback package and put the .app on my SD card and hard flash it, then do the same with the rom .app file. Thet got me back to stock marshamllow, and I just let all the updates run through until I'm now on the latest.
Stock is missing some bits, and has some irritations, but the camera is sooo much better than custom roms, and GPS works, as does Android Pay etc. I've not bothered rooting, AdGuard does the ad-blocking and the rest is liveable.

Well I think I'm my phone is screwed. I can't boot into recovery and when it boots it bootloops once and then it is stuck on the "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted. Fastboot still works fine I can lock and unlock the bootloader. I can flash Recovery and TWRP in Fastboot but neither one will boot. I think I might have flashed the wrong update or it happened when I flashed the rollback package. I want to try DC Phoenix but they won't let me buy credits because my PayPal account is unverified. I have downloaded the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" from the hihonor.com site. I extracted it and flashed the recovery, boot, and system image through fastboot. The phone still won't boot into recovery or boot into the OS. Is there a way to fix this or is it time for a new phone.
Thank you everybody for your help.

Ok my phone is fixed. What I did was buy 15 credits for DC Phoenix and flashed the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" package. When I rebooted my phone it automatically went into ERecovery and downloaded and installed the B162 update. I was able to fully boot after that It updated to B360 and then B388.
Thank you everybody for your help.

How did you flash the file you mentioned above? Did you put it on the SD card and used TWRP?
Also, what is so special about that file?
I have the L14 (64gb US version) and just about the same exact problem you describe.
If you have any extra steps that would help me recover mine that would be great.

Sorry for replying so late, hopefully you fixed your phone if not here is a link with some more information.

I followed the instuctions for the honor 7. I would recommend finding the full update firmware for your phone. It took me a lot of googling to find it. Make sure it is the correct firmware, you need to match the numbers before the B-- for me it was (FRD-L04C567) and for you it would be (FRD-L14????) I hope this helps.

After you flash the firmware, you must format data with emui recovery, and it will boot up

After trying different methods, this one works
Download
1 .Honor 8_FRD-L04_Rollback_Package_from_Android7.0 to Android 6.0_C900B300
2. Honor_8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android_6.0_EMUI-4.1_C567B122_United_States_Nonspecific
Put on dload (sd card) #1 after shutdown the phone and put on the folder dload (Sd card) #2. after reboot your phone starts with android 6.0

Try this

Ok so i had the exact problem, im not sure if this will help but what I did was flash my cust recovery system and boot through bootloader, I then put the dload folder on my sdcard with the update.app in it, from there I put my phone into download mode so hold all 3 buttons until it goes into download mode. Once there it will automatically install the update.app, and you should be good to go. If not than go to recovery mode do a factory reset and wipe the cache and see if that works.

Developers options missing

Hello y'all, i issued a problem tomorrow by rooting BLN-L21C432, i unlocked bootloader with no problem, when was time for flashing recovery, i flashed the boot into the recovery and issued a problem in the dev options and security. Cuz of that, i can't access to adb, hisuite hdb to backup, and can't install extern apps without autorizations.
I tried all night long to resolve but no way, add to that the fact i've got a very very low connexion so 3-4h to load an update.zip.
So i downloaded b370, no way i can't use the dload method, fail at 5%. Same issue with b369. Tried to flash manually system boot and recovery by extracting update.app, no result, it's same. Tried to Unbrick via multi-tool, i use it on honor 7, but there's no cust image in update.app.
Build number is normal, C432B365.
I don't know what to do now, it's 10 hours i'm losing my minds with that phone. Please heeeelp :crying:

From which firmware ? Is it good if i flash boot and recovery from B360 ?
Edit : Actually the phone is in B365, it would be better if i try to dload from it right ?

I read that unlocked bootloader could block an update, is that true ?

Have a nice day !

Have you tried flashing the rollback to marshmallow package via dload? If it works, then you have to flash the marshmallow software, both the rollback and the software can be found on honor support webpage, once you flash the marshmallow package it should boot up and you are free to update back to nougat if you want.
