HUAWEI P8 GRA-L09 - Lost Baseband & IMEI since attempting Marshmallow update & others - General Questions and Answers

HUAWEI P8 GRA-L09 - Lost Baseband & IMEI since attempting Marshmallow update & others
Hi, I'm in a right mess - since following the instructions from a post on here to download & update my HUAWEI P8 from it's stock firmware B200 (I think) to Marshmallow I ended up with the update freezing at 90% (I see there have been many others had the same problem too)
After trying to fathom out how to resolve the bootloop problem that occurs after this I have since downloaded many different firmwares from B170 onwards and using fastboot & adb flashed boot.img, recovery.img, system.img & cust.img succesfully with only B170 allowing my phone to eventually start without a bootloop. However now I have no baseband nor IMEI and being my only phone I am screwed without it.
Since then I have tried using TWRP to wipe the data, system, and caches clean and reinstalled firmwares galore to no success. If I try to update using EMUI it fails at 0% - using the search for latest file & recovery in EMUI fails too - copying any update.app to either internal or external storage in a folder named uload also fails at 0%.
Surely there must be a way of formatting the internal drive and installing a stock firmware which places everything back in its right place (including the baseband / IMEI) to start up like when it was 1st new?
DESPERATE FOR HELP - I HAVE NO OTHER FORM OF COMMUNICATION TO BE CONTACTED ON BY MY FAMILY - AND QUITE APPROPRIATELY CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED BY HUAWEI AT THE MOMENT- PHONE IS IMPORTANT TO ME!
Thanks to anyone reading this whom can help!

[Q] Huawei Honor H60-L12 ROM - Software Install Failed!

Hi all,
I bought a H60-L12, but the manufacturer had installed the H60-L02 rom (version H60-L02V100R001CHNC00B611).
How can I install the H60-L12 version?
I've already tried to install these 5 ROMS:
H60-L12_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B307
H60-L12_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B611
H60-L12-4-4-V100R001CHNC00B118-unicom-32g
H60-L12-4-4-V100R001CHNC00B119-High-unicom
H60-L12-V100R001CHNC00B121
But I always get the error "Software Install Failed!" with the volume + & - & power method.
Also tried with the *#*#2846579#*#* and didn't worked as well.
Tried to install different stock versions and nothing.
What should I do more?
Regards,
Luis
Check INDEX
"For L12 Users ONLY" Sections you might need to restore correct version stock local.prop and build.prop

Hi, yes I did. I wrote the way here (in german)

Scroll down to: 3 Button Restore not working (If you change between variant example L02>L12) Or Partition been changes and cannot restore back Stock version. Use this steps below : -
From huawei club forum, which posted by Chinese, they provided a "middle package" for H60-L02/L12, L01/L03/L11/L21:
Link for refer: http://club.huawei.com/thread-4744481-1-1.html
中转包地址如下:
荣耀6移动版(H60-L01/L03/L11/L21)
荣耀6联通版(H60-L02/L12)
We have to download it, then do upgrade it first before upgrade ROM version.
P/S: If you cannot extract it, may need rename it from chinese name to latin letter.
If need assist in Chinese word, let me know.
Hope this help.

Hi all, I'm new of the forum, and this seems to be exactly the same issue I'm having.
I had to buy a replacement for my H60-L12 and I decided to buy a new one, so I went to the same store and I ordered the same phone.
When it arrived, the label indicate H60-L12, bon on the box and on the back of the phone. But when I switched on, the model name and the serial number indicated the H60-L02.
What is really strange is that, according to what I have been seeing on technical specification on internet, the L02 should have 16GB di memory, while this one has 32GB.
Do you have any idea if it is possible to verify from the IMEI what is the real model of the phone and if it is possible that a L02 firmware version was installed on a L12? I have the B316, I have tried to dowload the B316 for the L12 and put it on the dload folder, then local update, but it fails (probabily because it is the same version?).
I have download the H60-L02/L12 file indicated in the previous post, but it is very small. Is it ok?
After I have installed it using the local update procedure, what should I do?
Thanks!
I will share my experience with this issue.
As it turned out, my L12 was flashed with the wrong firmware and seens as a L02.
No way to restore the correct version with any more or less standard procedure (not even copying the built and prop files from the L12, the upgrad was always failing).
So, for future reference, what I did was:
- use the unbrick function to load a EMUI2.3 version of the firmware (at this point the phone was almost unusable because everything was crashing)
- copied the L12 B316 on the SD in dload directory
- installed using the three button procedure
The upgrade was correctly executed and now everything is working fine.
In case someone was wondering why I didn't use the unbrick function to load the L12 B316, the answer is: I did it, but it was not working. As I said, it seems that the unbrick function leaves a lot of the previous installation behind, and despite the load of the B313 (yes, I tried the 313 to be able to update then to 316 with the complete update package and have a clean installation), the update package was downloaded but not installed, always giving error. Same with the three button procedure.
So, the only way I found has been to revert to 2.3 and then apply the update.
Now I would like to know who flashed the L02 on my L12 and made me loose four days

[Q] MT7-TL10 Europe Version - Reset to Stock

[email protected]
I get a new Mate 7 some days before and after a root process i'm trying now to reset the Device to the stock State and i'm little bit confused about all the Firmwares which are available for a download.
My Mate 7 is a MT7-TL10 Version with a preinstalled Firmware- Version MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04. I'm searching on the Huawai official Site under Region Switzerland for my ROM Version and i found and download it, but after extracting the ZIP File, i found a Word Document named MT7-L09 instead of MT7-TL10. So i'm not able to flash it, i mean i didn't try it because it's not the same Model and i wan't brick it. After reading three different Forums about Firmaware and flashing the Mate 7, i download the Global ROM MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03. I was able to flash it and after a completed Factory Reset in the Stock- Recovery with Wipe Data/System & Wipe Cache it looks like SuperSU it's gone, BUT!!
I get some new Stuff on my Phone like Opera Browser and Payment UICC, and i'm not able to get OTAs. If i search for it on the Phone i allways get the same Message, there aren't Updates available. I thought if i flash MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03 i would be able to get to MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04 by OTAs but it looks i was wrong.
Can somebody explain to me what to do to get the Fimware Version on the Phone where it was delivered with it? Please..
Many thanks!
[email protected]
I solved my Problem with Restore to Stock.
And this is how i do it:
After i wasn't able to download the ROM Version MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B120SP04 from Huawai Global Site when i choose Switzerland as my Conutry even though a download was available, but after unziping the File you get instead MT7-TL10 a MT7-TL09 ROM, i choose Italy as my Country and i get the right ROM.
I unzipped the ROM and copied it to the local Store of the Phone, then used the EMUI Updatetool and choose a local Store update. The Phone does a restart and boot up after the Update was done. To remove Opera and other Stuff from MT7-TL10V100R001C00B119SP03 i do a Factory reset. After the Phone boot up again, it was the original State like it was delivered the first Time. After check for OTAs i received a new Update and was able to install it successfull, so im now on MT7-TL10V100R001C00B125SP02.
Maybe it helps someone.
Thanks again!
Hey bud, so what's is the major and minor improvement of this latest firmware compared to the older one do you think?
Does your Huawei MT7-TL10 have dual SIMs?
yes, the gold version.

[Completed] How to downgrade honor 3c 4.4.2 Kitkat to jellybean 4.2.2?

I purchased this Huawie Honor 3c 3 days ago with an 4.2.2 jellyBean Running. I searched the internet for its KitKat 4.2.2 upgrade and there i found official upgrade for the cell phone from Huawei official website but the update was for China Telecom sets( individuals of China) only. i just downloaded it and applied it on my Honor 3c without backing up any previous data (added the update.app file in the dLoad folder of the SD card and restarted the phone in recovery mode). everything was going normal while updating and then something like "cust failed". and update couldn't complete. i rebooted the phone and screen appeared saying EMUI 3.0 and some Chinese alphabets. the touch system didn't work from that stage and i was stuck there. I removed the sdcard and tride to reset(wipe factory data) so that i can comeback to jellyBean again but same screen appeared after resetting even and i am stuck. I went to some technicians and they told me that there's a 50% chance the cell can be reverted and 50% is that its IMEI will be dead and blah blah! I dont know what to do now but i just want it back. kindly keep in that "warranty is voided on self Upgrade" so i can't even go to the Huawei franchise! I am stuck kindly someone help me because all i know it is just a software issue and everybody saying that hardware is corrupted. Help!

Best place to get help about your device is this thread: [GUIDE] Huawei Honor 3C H30-U10 - Bootloader Unlock, Root, TWRP, CWM, KitKat by codelover.
If you register on xda, you can post your questions in the corresponding Q&A thread.
IMO, when the issue is clearly hardware related and not caused by the manually installed software, this should not void your warranty.
I would try to claim it anyway.
Good luck !
Thread closed. Thank you!

[Honor 8] update from NRD90M test-keys 5.0 to 5.1

I have read about this problem on another thread but the problem was poorly explained and i couldn't follow to the processes explained on the replies, so i have created another new thread regarding this problem, because, in addition to being very useful for me, it might be even more useful for people that are searching for a solution.
I will explain briefly the scenario before talking about the problem itself.
I recently (1d ago) got my telephone blocked because of a Hard Brick that i managed to overcome using
DC Phoenix, from which i installed Emui 4.1 and then automatically updated via the built-in updater to Emui 5.0
As before my hard brick i was on a more recent build, Emui 5.1 (B394), i searched on the internet and understood that my current Firmware, "NRD90M test-keys" is a test build (or something like that) which can't be updated with the built-in updater.
So, i want to ask, in order to avoid getting bricked again, if there is a way i can update to the latest Emui available for my device, as in the current state the build, in addition to being obsolete, is also unstable and reports some compatibility errors, E.G. error retrieving microphone service when sending audio messages on WhatsApp, ecc.
i have heard of a method consisting of rolling-back the device to 4.1 again and installing 5.1 via Dload, but can you tell me how to do it more in detail?
EDIT:
Problem solved by rolling back to 4.1 b131 and then updated from internal updater app
Thanks in advance,
Federico

This Should Help You.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/to-emui5-custom-roms-tested-openkirin-t3638445
I assume since you rolled back you have a locked bootloader atm.
Now i know these guides are somewhere but now that you mention it they do seem somewhat hard to find. ( on the app anyways)
But as for rolling back and then updating again via dload ( not TWRP) you need the rollback package and official firmware for your phone model.
Google and/or the guides section here should help you find those.
It should give you two zips containing an UPDATE.APP file each.
You need to put these on a folder named dload (one file at a time)on your sdcard( internal storage should do, too but no guarantees).
Create the folder if it doesn't exist.
Put in the rollback update.app in first.
Then power down and hold vol up+ vol down while powering up and it should flash the file.
Let it finish, boot up, put in the update.app from the firmware in the dload folder ( remove the old file) and repeat the process.
That should be it.
Also, you might be able to sinply dload the actual firmware from the test key build without rolling back but i haven't tried ( i think )
Should the dload process fail, you most likely have the wrong file in your dload folder, or multiple files.
I should mention that the rollback file actually brings you to a test.keys build. It's necessary to flash to full firmware afterwards and dloading the rollback file has always worked for me.
Personally i found that keeping the rollback update.app file for the rollback in the dload folder at all times is a good security measure. (besides the usual backups)

can you tell me what rollback package to use? i tried "(FRD-L19&L09, from Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1, C900B300, Western Europe)" and didn't work
If you have an L09/19 it should work. Just make sure to flash the rollback package first.
Otherwise since you are on a test key build already, you might want to try to dload MM directly or if that doesn't work, try a stock nougat firmware via dload.
You could also try updating with Firmware Finder via proxy

I am in a very similar situation and unable to solve this. Could some one help in this?
I had unlocked bootload, TWRP and Root. I decided to unroot and lock the bootloader. So, by following the steps mentioned in a different thread, I could successfully flash Marshmallow B130 through Force Update.
Steps followed:
1. Flash Rollback package
2. Flash Full OTA (Marshmallow on B130) from Huawei website which flashed
Now, the real problem started while trying to upgrade to Nougat.
I tried downloading B350 firmware from Firmware Finder. After slow download, it installs fine. But, after reboot I face below problems.
1. The OS is very sluggish and crashes so often
2. The build number says NRD***-test keys
3. No keyboard installed, so not able to login to Google as well.
4. At this point, Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, rollback everything fails.
I had to unlock the bootloader and again force update Rollback Package and then to Marshmallow B130.
Now, I am stuck with B130. I tried downloading B340 and B361 thru Firmware Finder. Both of them installed but with the same result. I mean No keyboard, Test-keys build, Crashes
My Honor 8 model: FRD-L02
What should I do upgrade to Nougat? I have no confidence in Firmware Finder method. Any help appreciated
It's EMUI 5.0.1 not 5.1, I think.

Huawei Mate 9 - A Combination Of Issues

Hello dev's !
So I am surfing alot of threads here lately and I finally have this chance to post my problem & hopefully get some help regarding my problem.
Device Info - MHA-L29C185... (Middle East Version - Dual SIM). Don't remember which stock rom I was on but it was oreo so maybe somewhere close to 374 or earlier version.
Problem :
Firstly, I rooted following one of the threads from here and it was successful. However, I messed up when I downloaded an app which modifies framework or something and it bricked me and pushed me out.
But luckily I had some help and I used Chimera Tool to flash the International Version which brought my phone back to life but a lot of features like WiFi, Fingerprint Scanner didn't work.
So I decided to re-flash my firmware ie; C185B374 (Middle East Version) hoping it would solve the problem. It did solve the Fingerprint and WiFi problem but gave new problems like Gallery App (System APP) not working and Bluetooth not working.
:crying:
Note : I tried downloading firmware files from Firmware Finder & and flashing all 3 files using twrp and it fails as there is some mess in the Partition which isn't resolving. :crying:
I tried flashing using firmware finder app in the phone. It downloads the firmware and everything but doesn't flash. :crying:
Now, when I try to rebrand also which seemed a possible solution, I get stuck on the step where oeminfo files has to be replaced from the twrp backups. The script just doesn't respond.
Well, I am still living with the phone but alot of features don't work.
Help Required is :
1. Need solution to get stock firmware working properly as I am currently running my regions version but features don't work.
2. Lock back bootloader if possible. ( ADB Method & Team MT Multi Tool have been tried with no success)
3. Possibly get everything back to orignal. That's all I want !
Can anybody provide a possible solution to this ?
Nobody ?
My thought:
Download the firmware images you want to install.
Follow the instructions for using HuRupdater (search, I don't have the link handy for it); basically: put hurupdater and your update zips in the same folder on microsd, flash hurupdater with TWRP.
For relocking, you should be able to use "fastboot oem relock", though the phone will show that status. If that's fine, go for it.
