If anyone could help me it would be greaat ! Thank you
PS: I'm a newbie si please use comprehensible words or just explain
Guuuys anyone to help me ?
The phone is getting hotter and hotter, it's been like 3 hours that it restart by itself and I can't turn it off.
Same here.
I am on Ascend Mate 7 TL10.
I upgraded from B324 to B326 then to B511. It failed at B511. It keeps on bootloop. What are the steps and files to donwload to fix our problem?
We badly needed your help guys.
Thank you in advance.

You couldn't solve the problem ? I tried to flash some other lollipop versions but it didn't succeed. I think the only option remaining is to wait for a rollback for TL09. What do you think ?

Yes. I tried to re-download the Marshmallow update twice to make sure I was not flashing a corrupted file, and I tried to flash B326 again, but my phone is still stuck in bootloop.

Here's the solution to your problem if you know your way around rooting, unlocking bootloaders,
installing custom recoveries and custom ROM's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/tried-to-roll-b511-to-b326-fail-try-t3302479
If you don't understand the terms above, I am assuming your Mate7 has never been rooted/unlocked
and is running the official Huawei software/firmware/ROM. In this case, I can only suggest that you install
the official marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package for your Mate 7 phone model (TL10, L09, etc.),
after which, you can install the official Lollipop firmware for your Mate 7 phone model.
Unfortunately, the official marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package for Mate 7 TL10, L09 (non-China versions)
still does not exist. We have to wait for Huawei to release that package. Only the Chinese version of the
marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package has been released. (Applicable only if your Mate 7 is China version:
TL00, UL00, CL00)
You therefore have to wait for the downgrade package or send your phone to the service center
If not, then maybe you can try installing the official lollipop to Kitkat downgrade package for
Mate 7 TL10, L09 (non-China versions):
Lollipop to Kitkat Downgrade packages: (install in SD card main directory, under dload folder using
'force upgrade' <volume up + volume down + power button>)
TL10: http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=47724&key4=MATE7
L09: http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=45422&key4=MATE7
IF THE ABOVE IS SUCCESSFUL, then you can install the full official Kitkat software/firmware:
TL10: http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=35105&key4=MATE7
L09: http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=34805&key4=MATE7
IF NOT SUCCESSFUL, then you just have to wait for the release of the official marshmallow to lollipop
downgrade package or send your phone to a service center (assuming the service center personnel
are well versed with Huawei software).

I also have a Mate 7 TL10. My update to marshmallow beta B511 was successful. It's the best firmware I've used for my Mate 7 TL10 even if it is beta software. I having tried the official lollipop firmwares (B329, B326, B324) and official KitKat firmwares (B119SP03, B120SP04, C00B130) but none can quite beat the marshmallow beta.
Maybe your B511 file is corrupted. Try re-downloading it using the download link provided by Carbon Tesla for TL10:
[Go to carbontesla.com/2016/01/download-ascend-mate-7-b511-marshmallow-ota-zip/]
Try reinstalling [force upgrade (volume up + volume down + power button)] the new download.
If not successful, you may need to try the downgrade package I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Hi everyone, just want to share my experience in this problem, it is not with a positive outcome but to save your effort and cut it short, maybe someone can continue from where I stopped and then we reach a solution. Let me tell you first that my phone is Huawei AM7 MTL10 , I was on Lollipop b324 before I tried to upgrade to M B511, I download the file from Carbontelsa site, installed on internal phone Dload directory and updated successfully and the phone restarted , and boom this was the last time I saw my phone working that was 2 weeks ago( now in boot logo loop, non stop till battery drain), since then, I am moving from one Forum to another for people to help me and to tell you the truth everyone is trying, except the Huawei service center or the Huawei global support which are all not up to your knowledge or expertise, they just say we cannot help. Ok sorry for being long but, I wanted to give you the full picture, here are the facts.
First, my phone is locked, bootlader locked and never been rooted.
Second, the phone hardware was perfectly well before the upgrade.
Third, now, in Bootlogo loop as all of your devices.
Fourth, you can only access two options in this disaster problem, either the EMUI ( with the three options either, reboot, factory reset or partition format) the other choice is by connecting it to PC with USB and fastboot mode. So our choices with a locked boot-loader are really limited.
Fifth, you cannot flash any official rom which is a version less than B511 and EMUI 4, phone won't accept! Always accept reflashing the same B511 many times succefully ( and this is a proof that it is not a hardware problem)
Now this is where you start to follow from where I stopped
Forget about unlocking boot loader , you are wasting your time! !
One of two directions to follow,
One: is to download the latest Hisuit version 4.0.0.42and go to fastboot and rescue mode and connect to PC , open Hisuite , press home on the upper left corner and choose recovery down, please download the Chinese version of this Hisuite or else others not working, however everything goes well till the last step then it fails.
Two, we have to wait for the mighty Huawei people to come out with higher version of Marshmallow or a special downgrade software to solve the problem, at least they have to show some respect to their customers who are trying their beta software!
I am a doctor and I wasted a lot of time trying to save my HM7 phone because I did not accept the fact that it cannot be repaired , but now after 2 weeks I just bought the Samsung galaxy note 5 and I'm so happy with it, one last thing, I always say, When you buy something important like a phone or a car, you buy a company not only the device, you buy the time , care and dedication of this company to support you when you are in trouble. Hope this help in a way
Really did not expect many had their Mate 7 phones (TL10, L09) bricked by the B511 marshmallow beta update. I see it here in xda and also in gsmarena Mate 7 opinions. It's sad Huawei is taking so long to release the official international marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package. I guess I'm one of the few who got B511 working for an international Ascend Mate 7 (TL10) phone. I'm actually loving the marshmallow beta (B511) on my phone so much that even when the downgrade package does come up, I'm not going back to official lollipop or official Kitkat. I'll just wait for the final version of Marshmallow (when it's no longer beta).
Here's my story how I updated to Marshmallow B511 without bricking my phone: My TL10 (dual sim) phone originally had KitKat B119SP03. A week after owning the phone, there was an OTA to KitKat B120SP04 and then another OTA to KitKat C00B130. Due to the promise of a better software in Lollipop, and the fact that Huawei was taking so long releasing an OTA for my phone to Lollipop, I tried installing manually (via local update), several Lollipop versions (C900B324, C900B326), downgrading to Kitkat AFTER EVERY Lollipop install using the official 'Lollipop to Kitkat' downgrade package (C900B300).
I did not want to risk a 'dirty' install by flashing one Lollipop version over another Lollipop version. Even though it is possible, it can have unpredictable results since you are not starting with a 'clean slate'. When I heard about marshmallow beta, I was on Lollipop C900B329 because it was also around that time when there was an official OTA from KitKat to Lollipop for my phone. From Lollipop C900B329, I resisted the temptation of installing marshmallow beta B511 directly onto a base firmware of Lollipop C900B329 because I read beforehand B511 marshmallow beta only works with Lollipop C900B326. I also resisted the temptation of a 'dirty install' from one Lollipop version (C900B329) to another Lollipop version (C900B326). I had to downgrade back to KitKat for a clean install, disabled the OTA to C900B329, then manually updated to C900B326, then to B511 marshmallow beta. In between each update (KitKat to Lollipop to Marshmallow), I updated all apps especially google services.
I hope this will help others have a successful marshmallow installation and avoid any more bricked Mate 7 phones because the marshmallow update really is much better than official Lollipop or official Kitkat even if it is still in beta. There are many more additional features and options never before available in Lollipop and Kitkat and it's a smoother and a much more refined software than either of the two.
I'd like to add that my phone is not rooted in any way with no custom recoveries/ROM's installed whatsoever and with the bootloader still locked (factory default). Those with previously rooted phones and/or with custom recoveries and/or unlocked bootloaders may have unpredictable results (including ending up in a bootloop or being bricked).

Thanks for sharing your experience, you have been more careful than me I admitt, my phone also is original factory default never rooted but I guess now , it makes no difference, it is dead in the drawer waiting for Huawei to release a downgrade or the official Marshmallow update.
Till then I am enjoying my new Samsung G note 5.
Those with bricked mate 7 phones:
Can you try and see if this suggestion works?

Guys I have mt7-l09 and its working with marshmallow, yes it drains more battery and some lagging in some areas but this should happen because its a beta and incremental release. For people who got spoil their phone while installing, you should read the requirements very well before downloading this rom. Its clearly mentioned for B326 and for un-rooted phones. so before you install you should install the B326 (you can download using this link: http://m.huawei.com/pkmobile/c... make sure to choose mt7-l09 or mt7-l10 and after installing the B326 install marshmallow beta.
For people who wants to downgrade, yes you can but you have to choose a full release like the B326-B327-B328.
N.B. ONLY Marshmallow BETA rom, Don't unzip the after downloading, its not like the other updates. You should copy the zipped file as is to inside "dload" folder.
Just a tip, some releases are not supporting 4G lte especially when it marked Europe.
For people who keep rebooting, try to connect you phone to pc or take out the memory card and use card reader and access your files and then delete the files from the "dload" folder and then download using your pc any full release rom (b326 or b327 or b328) and extract it and then copy the "UPDATE" file to the dload folder and then turn off the phone and then boot your phone while holding Vol up + Vol down + Power buttons at same time to automatically trigger the update installation and should go smooth.
Hope my comments will help

So in theory this is saying that if I'm on B511 and want to downgrade to Lollipop, I just need to flash a full B326?!

If you have a bricked phone any suggestion to restore it to working condition is worth trying.
I really don't know if the original author (wissam marrash at Carbon tesla website) tried this himself,
but it seems from his original post here (comments section):
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/01/download-ascend-mate-7-b511-marshmallow-ota-zip/
it is INTENDED ONLY for those who are on bootloop while upgrading to b511.
Here is an excerpt of the original author's (wissam marrash) quote:
"For people who keep rebooting, try to connect you phone to pc or take out the memory card and use card reader and access your files and then delete the files from the "dload" folder and then download using your pc any full release rom (b326 or b327 or b328) and extract it and then copy the "UPDATE" file to the dload folder and then turn off the phone and then boot your phone while holding Vol up + Vol down + Power buttons at same time to automatically trigger the update installation and should go smooth.
Hope my comments will help"
Maybe you can ask the author (wissam marrash) at Carbon tesla website if you have doubts. As for me, my Mate 7 is not one
of those bricked by B511. I had a successful upgrade and have no plans whatsoever to rollback to Lollipop and KitKat which to
me are not quite as good and loaded with features which make me love B511 marshmallow beta.
after i upgraded Mate7 it keeps restarting.
i tried many tools but none of them succeed
Mi flash tool - Miss match Image and device
Sp flash tool - null
HI Suit 4. - don't support your phone
when i used Huawei-Update-MultiLoader it says error opening serial port
the last rom i upgraded to is on the internal storage of the mobile
my fast boot is locked
can any one help plz
I'm in the same case bro i feel you... But my big mistake was to unzip the update.app from the marshmallow update.zip , then i placed it to dload, and now my phone is rebooting... my fastboot is locked too
same mistake here... my mate7 keep restarting. and i cant fix also in fastboot mode,, always failed.. any help?
I got the same problem - unzipped the update.zip and placed only the update.app in dload *facepalm*

How much money did you pay for that?
Phone ? under warranty so I didn't pay anything
Also I didn't tell them I was upgrading to MM
Just I said the phone its keeping restarting…
Not to offend anyone, but the fault is not from Huawei. You guys keep trying to install updates that may not be meant for your phone. Can only blame yourself. If it's not at OTA update, just don't risk it!
Mine runs great on B130 kitkat with unlock and root.

I totally agree. But if there is any as*hole like me that wants to try a beta build, there should be a rollback alternative, right? Yeah, it's not very productive to blame the brand, but the brand should cover different scenarios in case people go full re__rd and install unverified software on their phones.
As some of you might know, I recently bought FRD-AL00 variant of this amazing phone. For those who doesn't know, this is Chinese variant with 4GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. Its European equivalent is FRD-L09 and from same rationale, FRD-AL10 and FRD-L19 are equivalents but it has 64GB of internal storage.
I bought it at AliExpress and it came flashed with FRD-L19C432B131 (wrong firmware). The phone were really unstable, it was rebooting very often, specially when I played videos on YouTube or when phone was under heavy load (low memory and many apps opened).
My first try: Debrand to right EU version (FRD-L09). I did it doing standard procedures: Unlock bootloader/TWRP/Root/Debrand/Flash (FRD-L09C432B131). I followed these tutorials:
** WARNING: Backup your data cause this procedure wipes everything. **
** Do it at your own risk **
1) Unlock bootloader/Install TWRP/Root:
Followed this procedure: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
1.1) For this step I ran DCUnlocker because I coudn't get my unlock code from Huawei
1.2) Warning: Pay attention and install right version of TWRP, there are two links to download
1.3) Flash superSU
1.3.1) Download SuperSU
1.3.2) Flash it through TWRP
1.3.2.1) Power off and then press volume up + power (unplug USB)
1.3.2.2) Press "Install", select SuperSU ZIP and flash it. Now you're root
2) Debrand using SRKTool
Followed steps in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4&t=310s
2.1) I skipped step to change build.prop, cause right after debrand I reflashed new ROM
2.2) Warning: Don't forget to enable USB debugging, grant access to your computer and grant access to SRKTool actions in SuperSU (it will ask for permission when SRK tries to change something). Make sure SuperSU is running
2.3) After reboot, just power off your phone and move to next step
3) Flash EU ROM
3.1) Make sure you copied ROM FRD-AL09C432B131 and unziped at folder dload on your SDCard
3.2) Press Volume UP + Volume Down + Power
3.3) At this point, your phone might enter in Huawei's recovery mode and start flashing new ROM. It takes about 5 ~ 10 minutes
Now. I realized even "right" ROM for similar model were still unstable. Actually nothing has changed. My next attempt: Nougat!
4) Update to Nougat
This step were simpler. Just execute Charles method and it works seamsless:
Charles Method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69885525&postcount=11
Other responses for different variants: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/various-responses-charles-app-b360-t3541342
In my case (FRD-L09C432B131), the response I used was:
Code:
{
"status": "0",
"autoPollingCycle": "1",
"components": [{
"name": "FRD-L09C432B360",
"version": "FRD-L09C432B360",
"versionID": "73856",
"description": "FRD-L09C432B360 (2017/01/18)",
"createTime": "2017-01-18T01:57:51+0000",
"url": "http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v73856/f1/"
}]
}
PS: did not lost any data on this upgrade but backup, just to make sure you won't loose anything.
Finally...
Now, phone is running FRD-L09C432B360 and seems to be very stable.
Please let me know if you have any questions and follow me on Twitter: emilioyn.

Its European equivalent is FRD-L09 and from same rationale, FRD-AL10 and FRD-L19 are equivalents but it has 64GB of internal storage.
I bought it at AliExpress and it came flashed with FRD-L19C432B131 (wrong firmware). The phone were really unstable, it was rebooting very often, specially when I played videos on YouTube or when phone was under heavy load (low memory and many apps opened).
My first try: Debrand to right EU version (FRD-L09). I did it doing standard procedures: Unlock bootloader/TWRP/Root/Debrand/Flash (FRD-L09C432B131). I followed these tutorials:
** WARNING: Backup your data cause this procedure wipes everything. **
** Do it at your own risk **
1) Unlock bootloader/Install TWRP/Root:
Followed this procedure: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
1.1) For this step I ran DCUnlocker because I coudn't get my unlock code from Huawei
1.2) Warning: Pay attention and install right version of TWRP, there are two links to download
1.3) Flash superSU
1.3.1) Download SuperSU
1.3.2) Flash it through TWRP
1.3.2.1) Power off and then press volume up + power (unplug USB)
1.3.2.2) Press "Install", select SuperSU ZIP and flash it. Now you're root
2) Debrand using SRKTool
Followed steps in this tutorial:
&t=310s
2.1) I skipped step to change build.prop, cause right after debrand I reflashed new ROM
2.2) Warning: Don't forget to enable USB debugging, grant access to your computer and grant access to SRKTool actions in SuperSU (it will ask for permission when SRK tries to change something). Make sure SuperSU is running
2.3) After reboot, just power off your phone and move to next step
3) Flash EU ROM
3.1) Make sure you copied ROM FRD-AL09C432B131 and unziped at folder dload on your SDCard
3.2) Press Volume UP + Volume Down + Power
3.3) At this point, your phone might enter in Huawei's recovery mode and start flashing new ROM. It takes about 5 ~ 10 minutes
Now. I realized even "right" ROM for similar model were still unstable. Actually nothing has changed. My next attempt: Nougat!
4) Update to Nougat
This step were simpler. Just execute Charles method and it works seamsless:
Charles Method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69885525&postcount=11
Other responses for different variants: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/various-responses-charles-app-b360-t3541342
In my case (FRD-L09C432B131), the response I used was:
PS: did not lost any data on this upgrade but backup, just to make sure you won't loose anything.
Finally...
Now, phone is running FRD-L09C432B360 and seems to be very stable.

Before flashing the Kangvip i have Android 7 with emui 5.0.1.
When i pick up my device from service it came with android 6 and emui 4 and some bugs,themes dont work and i`m missing emui 5 with android 7.
I try to update via settings/update but no updates there, try with hicare but no rezults there .

Its okayyy! My issue has been resolved lol i just had to dload a b330 firmware then the rest of the ota came flooding in ??
And I'm back again! Now with the aged old emui 5 problem, anyone found a way to disable auto dimming on chrome? Or forced it to run on Performance mode like we could back in emui 4? The chrome dimming doesn't really bother me too much but it happens in the middle of my Rules Of Survivor matches and starts lagging while dimmed. That's hella annoying ? really dont want all these effort of updating to emui 5 to go a waste n end up going back go 4.1 ??
I have a seemingly stupid but still annoying problem. As many of you know Android 8 + EMUI 8 came out this summer and I have updated my Honor8. Everything works well, even better (especially with regard to the battery) apart from a problem, quite annoying. I have seen that everyone around complains about the same problem, so it is clear that both a build bug and not a local problem.
Basically ... the bluetooth link with the multimedia system of my car doesn't work as it should, while it worked well with the 7.0.
Tracknames, music infos disappears, sometimes it connects regularly, starting the music, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the music passes from the car speakers to smartphone (!!)... in short, manage the music in the car It has become a big problem!
I tried all possible options; reset pairing, reset bluetooth, clear cache, activate the developer options to control some low-level aspects of bluetooth, and finally installed Bluetooth Auto Connect which also has several advanced options. Nothing works. In the meantime an update of 8.0 has been released (mine is the buiold 521). The update came out in September ... maybe (MAYBE) this update fixes all bluetooth issues (but i don't have any detailed info about). Until today I have not received any updates and normally I check new version regularly every day. At this point I decided to return to Nougat!
And here the adventure begins!
I CANNOT IN ANY WAY do the downgrade.
What I tried:
- through HiSuite. The "back to previous version" option appears random (rarely); normally the program tells me "the system is up to date". Once appeared I tried to run the procedure, but after the decompression it gives me an error "error updating".
- by standard Rollback procedure. Using a microSD and putting the full version of Nougate in the dload folder. The installation starts but stops almost immediately with the same "update cannot be applied" error.
At this point I am desperate. I cannot update Oreo, I can't go back to Nougat and meanwhile the bluetooth still doesn't work with my car. Remember that before Oreo, everything worked very well!
What can I do? Can you help me?
Thank you

Region: EU
Model: FRD-L09
Build: 8.0.0.521 (C432)
Previous Build: don't remember. It was Nougat, and I've upgraded around the first week of September. From that day I haven't received/applied any patch, because nothing appears until now.
This morning I've tried again with HiSuite. As usual it says I'm running the latest version and it doesn't offer any downgrade option .

The more you know...
Finally I've decide to try updating to 8.0.0.562. After a month of tries, fails (damn Huawei and his stupid update system), errors and a lot of other stupid things, I was finally able to update my Honor hoping the latest version will fix all the problems. It was a enormous waste of time (searching around internet)... but in the end I found a method described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/p20-pro-bricked-t3868085#4And if you go ahead you should find the correct firmware link (on a Russian site). Although, IMHO, failing with the classic method was due to the impossibility or some bugs in the update system, to unpack the update files on sdcard. So the solution seems to be to leave both the zip and the unpacked folder.The problems with bluetooth remain, but I hope that now there is not to be crazy applying next updates. ATTENTION: the method above is NOT valid for rollback! If you try, you'll brick your Honor.
And finally I've taken an important decision... for me this is the last Huawei/honor device. Next time I'll go to another brand, with a serious update system.
