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.

Ohh, okay. Was planning to have my phone repaired under warranty but hesitated since I rooted and unlocked my Mate 7's bootloader.
Good news for those with bricked mate 7 phones!
(For those with unrooted, locked Mate 7 phones on boot loop.)
There are new OFFICIAL marshmallow to lollipop downgrade/rollback packages

Check out his thread below:

Hopefully it will work for your bootlooping L09/TL10 phones.
Hello,
I recently "upgraded" to Android 6 and I hate it. Not only do I not like it but my phone is very unstable and reboots and random intervals. Battery drain is also insane, lasting only 1 day.
Please let me know how to rollback to previous Android version. I am willing to donate for an answer that works.
Thanks!

1: make sure you have stock recoveries in place (both "recovery" & "recovery2" partitions)
2: have the stock b029 full rom (links available @xda or needrom.com) in the following folder on your sdcard: dload/UPDATE.APP
Make sure this is the extracted file from the zip, not the zip itself
3: power off your phone, press volume down+up+power until you enter eRecovery mode
Happy flashing
In case your phone doesn't recognize the update package, you can download it directly from your phone:
when rebooting, ensure your phone is plugged in via USB to your PC
No luck, bro. Same as before. Phone checks the file, goes from 1 to 4% and then at 5% (when it says "Installing") it says Update Failed. Reboot now.
Tried with eRecovery also (volume+ and USB cable inserted). It connects to WiFi but can't find any package.
I think the only option is to sell the phone and buy a new one with the factory firmware.
Lol, that's not the only option. Download Huawei firmware extractor, extract boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and userdata.img from the B028 firmware (not b029)(you can skip system.img). Use adb and fastboot to flash those files. After you flashed then repeat the firmware flash procedure with firmware b028 in dload folder and vol- vol+ and Power buttons. Did a rollback several times, worked every time for me.

Also here is a more detailed description:

You need your bootloader unlocked. You can use dc-unlocker to do that. It will cost you 3$ or 3€ and 10 minutes of your time:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
Still more convenient that reselling the phone.
I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. But I guess there is no cure for stupidity, since every time I "upgraded" my phones ever since the Galaxy Note N7000 got Android 4, they always ****ed it up, every single manufacturer. They're not at fault here, I'm the idiot who never learns his lesson.
So yeah, selling my phone it is since if you unlock the bootloader, you lose the warranty and that will make my phone sell for dirt-cheap, since I cannot use it with Android 6.
Thank you all for your help but it looks like this is the only option.
The first chance I get (someone makes a similar-sized device) I will abandon Huawei. Hardware is great but the software is utterly horrid! No-name chinese phones have much better software support than they have.

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't invalidate the warranty, so you're good to go. I for myself love the P8 max, hardware and software. The B029 works extremely good for me after customizing it a bit to fit my needs. There is no reason for me to update to Android 6 since everything works so flawlessly.
If you want to keep the size and don't go any smaller, one of the acceptable alternatives is the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra, even thou I prefer the design of the P8 max.
Unfortunately, in my retarded country (Romania) I have to call Huawei to get the bootlocker unlock code, which by their terms in this ****ty country, invalidates the warranty. I've been through this nightmare before, with the DAV-701L in which I had to call in UK to get an unlock code, which they even said that I will lose the warranty.
These guys ****ed something up because, here's the kicker : you have to get the unlock code FROM Huawei, which invalidates the warranty. But to invalidate the warranty, you need permission from Huawei. **** logic.
The Zenfone is looking mighty delicious, you know. Thanks for the tip!

I must admit that I'm not overhappy with 6.00.
In exchange of a few new feature I lost root and things aren't so smooth anymore. Gonna roll back as soon as I receive my Xiami Max as a backup phone. Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra will be my next buy, but waiting for a phone so long it's a pain in the ass.. they shouldn't announce models months before they can release them. Like HP Elite X3 (January and just coming to shops) or LeTv X910 (which never saw the light) ?
hi guys,
I apologize for resurrection of this thread but does anyone know the location of the stock b029 full rom file ?
I do remember I was running MM and I want to give my P8 max to my niece but unfortunately it's missing OS.
I could install twrp and I was searching for the file but the links are dead and I think this would be the best place to ask.
Anyway, thanks in advance and sorry for bumping up 2 years old thread.
Peace

Hi everyone,
My father had a problem with his Honor 8. When the new update was released it bricked the phone. Using the DLOAD, we were able to fix this problem, however he was still experiencing regular unwanted reboots. He decided to try changing the firmware again using the rollback file (from android 7.0 to 6.0) on a phone that was already on Android 6.0... Now the phone reboots on his own to the blue honor log screen and doesn't get out of it. We are not able to shut it off, nor go to DLOAD or anything. The only thing I was able to achieve was going to the fastboot. Anything else won't work.
The phone is an Honor 8 bought on Aliexpress. It's a AL10 version but the buyer had the FRD-L19 firmware installed on it. With the DLOAD, the last firmware the phone was on, was an EMUI 4.1 Android 6.0 L19 firmware.
Anyone has any solution in order to install newly a firmware and unbrick the phone please ?

Nothing, just waiting for it to repair
The instant solution. Dc-pheonix , use it , buy 15 credits worth 15 euros ,flash with firmware. Then rebrand your Honor 8 using the guide here on XDA. Njoy.

True. My solution is only if out of warranty or warranty not provided!
Hi guys !
Thanks for all you answers. The phone is still under warranty so I contacted Alianz since I had a 1 year repair warranty possibilty and I sent the phone to them. I'm now waiting for them to tell me what's going to happen with the phone.
I'll keep you updated with what's going to happen and when we'll get the phone back
Thanks again !
Hi everyone,
I got the phone back from warranty and they solved the problem. I can't really tell what they did because the paper that came with it wasn't very detailed. But the phone is working perfectly anyway.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help solving this matter
Hello.
As many here my phone updated and soft-bricked. I tried to recover it but i guess i did it with wrong method and I hard-bricked it. Than by using dc unlocker phoenix and .app files provided by the online shop where i bought the phone i recovered it back to soft-brick, but now with the red warning message "your device has failed verification and may not work properly". Since than nothing else works - not Dload method (every update either fails or hard-bricks the phone) nor forcing updates through the dc unlocker. While it is hard bricked it does show up in fastboot device list, but that is all. Any ideas what else could I do? Please don't suggest dload method as I have stated above that it is not working.
Use rollback package to Emui 4.1
What do you mean by that? Flash it through fastboot or through the sd card?

thanks for your reply. The problem is that this method so far has not worked. I suspect it has to do with the fact that it is a FRD-AL00 model to which the seller has flashed FRD-L19. In the end this means that neither of rollback packages work. Plus replying to the last comment also - so far I am stuck as I do not have access to dc unlocker phoenix anymore and I am not willing to spend yet another 15 eur without clear plan what to do next. Any ideas how to bring the phone out of the hard brick aside from dc unlocker?

If either rollback to marshmellow dload of Al00 & FRD-L19 ? then use the DC unlocker client 2 . download and see there are some tutorials in youtube.:good:

Hi. To be honest I gave up and took it to service centre and they fixed it. Never told me how though.
I did send them the firmware that was provided for me by the manufacturer so I guess the answer lays somewhere in correctly flashing the correct firmware using some software that I do not have. Or something.
I am sorry that I cannot add anything more substantial to the discussion - I can post some information about what is on the phone now if that helps.

I have Honor 8 FRD-AL10 came with FRD-L19C636B360 from China.
After a notification for new update which I started, the phone bricked. Tried eRecovery, but unsuccessful. Couldn't receive the package from the server.
The only thing that worked out a bit was "dload" method with AL00 version from the link with fabric firmware http mega.nz........
But the phone starts to the language and region section and never runs correctly to the desktop. Always rotates about first "start screen".
No other software works out, tried almost everything.

I have not unlocked bootloader. I tried DC Phoenix but when I flashed firmware it said "your device has failed verification and may not work properly". Had others things to do at the time and tool expired and I want to know what to do before buying it again.
Solution:
Bought credits on FunkyHuawei and contacted support. The problem was that my phone model was FRD which doesnt exist. It should be FRD-L19, FRD-AL10 etc. Tools which are available for download on FunkyHuawei didnt work because this wasnt a common problem. But their support is excellent. They will help you till you get your phone working without asking for extra money.
Just got it 30min ago, The android on it now is 6.0 emui 4.1 and it wants me too update too 7.0 5.0. Is it ok too update too it now before unlocking the bootloader and root?
Why i ask is i think it would be a good idea too test the phone for a few days first too make sure it has no issues.
Also from reviews and from what i herd about the phone from others. They say the back plate is metal? From what i can tell its plastic on mine is that normal? Or did they just meant its a metal like finish?

Welcome on board!
I suggest you to update the system and testing it a while before unlocking the bootloader, just to be sure it's OK.
The back of my phone it's like gray metal, I can't tell if it's real or plastic. Feels like metal though.
You could check some videos on the web to see if your phone it's just like the other.

Just did the update a hour ago
And yea its hard too tell sense some metals can feel like plastic lol But im pretty sure its metal now reviews says the top and bottom edges are plastic but the middle part is metal and i still have the plastic cover on the back so its a bit hard too tell lol.
So far its working great i probably will run it for couple days before i do anything too it bootloader etc.
Big performance boost from my old htc droid the droid is still a decent device but the battery is on its way out will ony hold about a 50% charge:/ and max it runs is 6.0 and the biggest issue is no mico sd slot...
welcome
So far still running great really loving the performance!
I have question tho. Under security it says patch level march 2017. Is that normal? or should i be on a newest date?
Its on 7.0 5.0 build number b360 and says there's isn't a new update.
Model is bln-l24 us.

It rolls out in batches if new OTA comes. However, for regualr or old update it comes very quickly once you insert the sim. You may wait for couple of days though before trying anything new
So looks like everything is fine on this phone hardware wise So im looking into unlocking the boot loader and doing root but want too keep the stock feeling.
When i go too this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822 and when going too twrp i see they saying fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img..
Is there a img for the usa model? Or will the berlin.img work too?

Should i wait doing the bootloader and root?
When looking for root all i see its for other versions like berlin. unless that works for the usa model too?
Hmm just noticed the thread i posted is yours lol
Does it work with the usa model? what got me hang up is the berlin step.
i just unlocked the bootloader Tried doing it with the UC browser on the device and it wouldn't load the sites in the guide... But it worked doing on this page and doing it from my pc. https://www.gadgetcreed.com/100-working-huawei-honor-6x-unlock-bootloader-guide/
Gave me my unlock code and i followed the guide and it worked OEM unlock was showing for me too which says some users wont have it on 5.0.
Now for root question. Will i still get updates if i root? I probably wont mess with custom roms for awhile cause i like the stock look lol

You will still receive OTA updates; however, I don't know if they'll install on your device properly after rooting. If you get an update, I'd recommend unrooting, reflashing the stock bootloader, and then relocking the bootloader. The Android 8.0 update is likely to come out for the Honor 6x in December or January, so I wouldn't have rooted now if I were you. I think 8.0 might be the last major update for the Honor 6x for a while, so I would recommend rooting then, honestly. Even the guys who make the Stock ROMs (Open Kirin) stopped development for Nougat in favor of Oreo ROMs, so many of the Nougat stock Android ROMs are buggy.

Oh i ony did the unlocking boot loader so best case is too just wait not rooting it right now till when 8.0 comes out? Having the boot loader unlocked wont effect updates etc tho right?
But yea i was ony going too root for the root apps and the trwp recovery but stay on the stock rom that comes with it.

You will get OTA but wont be able to install as boot.img modified. Best way in that case would be to flash the stock boot.img, stoct recovery.img and proceed with ota download and installation.
Or other way, be as it is, download full firmware and update via Dload. These manual update is way faster before OTA even rolls out.

Just got it 30min ago, The android on it now is 6.0 emui 4.1 and it wants me too update too 7.0 5.0. Is it ok too update too it now before unlocking the bootloader and root?
Why i ask is i think it would be a good idea too test the phone for a few days first too make sure it has no issues.
Also from reviews and from what i herd about the phone from others. They say the back plate is metal? From what i can tell its plastic on mine is that normal? Or did they just meant its a metal like finish?

You mean if i root? Or the unlock bootloader for the ota updates part?
And whats Dload mean? Did some research and found out what dload means its doing it manual from the dload folder on a sd card
Sorry for these stupid questions hehe i been out of the loop with this phone stuff for awhile lol
