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:

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.

Hello, i am trying to rebrand my new honor 8 from China. It's an FRD-AL10 with EMUI 5. Do i proceed with the steps as seen in the first post?
Edit: I've bricked it. Any suggestions?
This thread is a oneway ticket to the brick =(
hi
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09C432B394, rooted latest magisk and twrp.
There is an OTA update, available, on the phone only, not available with HiSuite..
I would like to update, I uninstalled Magisk, But no way to replace twrp with stock recovery with latest Huawey MultiTool V8.
Don't know why but my FRP is locked.
I found some ways to solve it, AAbox2_17.11, or DC Unlocker 2, but I dont understand how it works, and I don't want to brick my phone...
I also found a tutorial to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow, this could solved my problem...
Do you have any info? Please.
thanks for your answer, I will try it with huawey tools
Ok, I finally managed to update my firmware to b399...
thanks @Rommco05
But, now, I have a problem with the bluetooth...
I posted another subjet about that :

Hello.
I've read through the forums but am still quite unsure if i can restore my honor 6x from soft brick. It boots up but i get stuck in rescue mode if i have it charged Or it will just boot-loop if its not plugged in.
Im unable to use the DLOAD method. If i enter fastboot and use the three button method. I get put to the rescue screen. However i may be using the wrong firnware? Possibly.
Its a China version. PE-UL00 given to me from a friend, he said he had restored it to factory settings. So i wanted to upgrade the android kit kat to lollipop version. It was running emui 3. Kitkat 4.42. I believe updated the wrong firmware file through the local update method I download from firmware finder.
Basically from what ive read through the forums would i need to unlock the bootloader and flash stock firmware? . I have the information to acquire the bootloader key i believe and. I have downloaded honor multi tool and huawei multi tool, as well as adb drivers
I get confused as to which stock rom or. Firmware i should download or use. And i cant access the phone to see the build number. All i know is that it's. A China version. PINE-UL00. HONOR 6X. I do remember seeing
UL00_V100R001CHNC00B200 or similar when i was able to access the phone. But it also had custom at the bottom so i wasn't sure if it was a custom rom.
Any suggestions for a noob. Thankyou.

I downloaded dc unlocker, but it doesn't support the boot loader id for PE-UL00 honor 6x. Im still waiting on huawei for the bootloader code. I think k have to log in for 14 days consecutively? I keep getting that message when I try to unlock.
Also the firmware I tried to update it was PE-UL00C00361 OTA-MF from firmware finder.
I downloaded dc phoenix unlocker. Found the correct stock firmware to the best of my knowledge and the phone back to normal. After I was able to update to marshmallow through system updates.
Thank you anyway
Guys i want to root my device - Honor 6X BLN-L21. how can i do this?
after rooting my device ill be able to update my software ? i have the latest android 7 official update from huawei installed. i havent unlock the bootloader or anything like that.
thank you and soory for my english.
Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822
And for obtain your bootloader unlock code, note that the listed procedure is impossible to follow at the moment, because the necessary pages to ask for the code are unavailable on Huawei sites. But you should be able to have a work around thanks to the module available here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...cial-request-bootloader-unlock-codes-t3785100
I am resurrecting this thread as I have the **same** issue a year after.
I have recently aquired a BLN-L21 Honor 6x europe, with EMUI 5.0.3
This is the exact ROM version: BLN-L21C432B382
It has been rooted using dc-unlocker, but now I have some problems with rooting (that was my entire objective since start)
Compatible TWRP are scarce, I can only make it work with OpenKirin TWRP 3.1.1.0, linked in the guide above, or EliteTWRP-3.2.1.0, but this one cannot read any internal partitions, so I guess it's not very useful.
As soon as I flash Magisk-19.3.zip the device boots and asks me for a decryption password, that I clearly don't have.
So Flashing Magisk this way makes the terminal useless.
Can anyone suggest me a couple of TWRP + ROM that supports root quite well on this device?
EDIT: ouch, I defeated myself. I just tried to use SuperSU-v.2.82-201705271822 and it works like a charm on stock rom.
I wonder why Magisk makes a mess of the partition

To use this tool you need have bootloader unlocked ( I have tested). If you don't unlock bootloader the tool can't, like any other methods, rewrite the recovery . But now huawei doesn't allow anymore to unlock the bootloader, if you want you can unlock it by 3rd services, it costs almost 50 dollars.
you can see these sites
