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.

There are official Huawei ROMS in that thread. The downgrade through the official Huawei ROMS doesn't work. I am on B571, tried to downgrade to B331. Huawei Consumer confirmed to me by email the downgrade should work, but it wont install. It stucks and fails at 5%.

After following the steps as descriped by Huawei, the rollback starts 'installing' and gets stuck at 5%. No matter how long I wait. Last time I waited two hours. When I abort, i can reboot the phone and it still works (lucky me).

Maybe a stupid question, but this:
The instructions says you should the UPDATE.APP in dload folder on internal storage. But it also says internal storage is wiped during the update process. I am a simpel man and think: is it possible tot put the UPDATE.APP file in dload on internal storage when it gets wiped?

Hi all,
Having been in contact with Huawei facebook support, they have checked my imei and tell me my Mate 8 is for the Southeast Asia market - no surprise there as I bought it from eBay. So with a Mate 8 from Singapore or thereabout, how do I go about getting a uk rom on it? preferably emui 5 based? If it were a Samsung i'd just flash the normal way through odin, but I don't know with the Mate if region specifics are going to be an issue, or if i might wipe my imei or something horrific.. Is there a tut on updating an NXT-L29 'specseas' unit? I have looked!!
Sites like this http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/08/download-huawei-mate-8-b320-marshmallow-firmware-europe/ say things like 'This update should only be installed on C432 based European Mate 8 handsets'.
I'm currently on NXT-L29C636B193
Any assistance appreciated

Huawei's facebook team have come back to me saying 'The Mate 8 Build Number should be Mate 8 NXT-L29C432B192 or NXT-L09C432B192 (depends on the exact model number).' This has lead me to http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/10/download-huawei-mate-8-b192-marshmallow-update-europe/#more-9728 where I have downloaded the L29 version and copied the Update.app to my ext card as suggested. Could someone tell me if updating my phone this way is likely to cause me issues? i'm just copying off the entirety of my sd card expecting a full wipe at some point..
After forgetting everything I did yesterday I am now on build NXT-C900B192.
Where the heck do I go now??
currently installing NXT-L29C432B320 via the dload folder..
EDIT: Ok, update done and showing emui 4.1 but build NXT-C900B320. Any suggestions appreciated?
EDIT: Unlocked my bootloader and now copying NXT-L29C432B581 files over to the dload folder.. I'm starting to loose track!
Successful install of NXT-L29C636B560? yesterday then OTA updated to NXT-L29C636B563. Unfortunately the battery life has taken quite a hit, so now going to try NXT-L29C636B585 I guess!
EDIT: Using the firmware finder to download B585
EDIT: B585 installed through the firmware finder app! hopefully i wont get through the battery so quickly now!
