Ok, but which ROM version, because I believe that I can't go back to an old version when I have the B320, is that true ?

i don´t know,i am on B180

or try this:
Copy the B180 UPDATE.APP on your SD Card in dload Folder
Extract the B180 with Huawei Extractor (SYSTEM.img,BOOT.img,CUST.img and RECOVERY.img)
and copy the img Files in your Fastboot/ADB Folder
Flash the img files via Fastboot (fastboot flash boot BOOT.img fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img,etc...)
fastboot reboot and let it start.
When finish this Procedur Power of.
Press all three Buttons at the same Time (Volume+,Volume- and Power Button)
pressed until the B180 UPDATE.APP install will.
Then a Factory Reset and Report if it works

Thanks.
I have made this but with the B133 and it doesn't work.
The only recovery that I can launch is the TWRP 4.1.
Stocks recoveries refuse to work ...
Do you think it could change with the B180 ?
Does it exist a tool for changing partitions ?

All is fine after flashing the phone with B320 in stock mod.
Thanks very much letschky, it's with your method

No Problem,i had the same Problem with my Mediapad X2,with this Method works fine

Another guy has a bootloop. Help greatly appreciated

Hi
I'm quite sure i have moved form 701L (B03) to 703L (B112) succesfully, but then i made first mistake to flash NearStockB111.zip and after that......
don't ask a lot of mistakes... Last thing was to try with fastboot to flash all the B015 files (with and without recovery, with TRWP 5.0), but still bootloops.
Please can i recover B112? How?
Thank's a alot
Andy

Hi
For other: Original B112 app file -> extract with universal extractor -> fastboot flash boot, recovery, system and userdata. Now i'm on B112 and everything seems o.k (about screen shows 3GB , B112, correct screen resolution)
Thank's
Andy

You forgot to install the universal cust.
But now you can factory reset from EMUI and then start the b211 update.zip as incremental update from EMUI.

US Honor 6x Unable to Boot TWRP Backup of Stock EMUI 5.0 (Help)

Hello there, I've been trying to return to stock EMUI after messing around with some AOSP-based ROMs, but my US model Honor 6x is unable to boot up the TWRP backup of it. And the dload method is unsuccessful, as it just says the firmware is incompatible with my device. Does anyone know a way to return back to stock EMUI and make my device as it was coming out of the factory?

Hi, which is your model number...BLxLxxCxxx? Still you have access to twrp?

I believe it's the BLN-L24C567, since I have the US model of the Honor 6x.

I still have TWRP and the backup of my original software, but it won't boot up. It just goes into a boot loop. I don't know what proper steps to take in order to get the software to boot up again.

Rommco05 said:
Ok, download this two zips and try flash via twrp. First small zip, right after big one. After go to reboot and make reboot recovery, now you will be in stock recovery and here tap factory reset, after normal reboot and should boot to rom

Thank you so much; I'll do it. However, should I do a factory reset or format data in TWRP before flashing these ZIPs?

Rommco05 said:
No, no need be wiped anything

The update.zip (the bigger one) ended with "ERROR: 7" I'm not sure if this should have happened or not. Any idea?

Rommco05 said:
Try format data after reboot twrp and again format data now try flash zips.
If this doesn't help, u need this one:
-download Huawei Extractor from xda
-unzip big zip and extract from update.app, recovery.img
-flash recovery.img over fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
-now make update over dload method
(unzip both files and separately put to dload folder on sdcard, first big second small, but must be unzipped)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Okay, one more question: For the dload method, do I have both ZIPs in the dload folder and flash it at the same time, or do I flash one ZIP at a time in the stock recovery?

Rommco05 said:
Yes u need install both zips, becasue big one is system and small are apps. Flash stock recovery and after install big one (unzipped) after reboot (if phone boot to rom immediately turn him off) and install second one, same like first

My phone is currently installing the first UPDATE.app. Once I go back into the recovery, will my phone know to install UPDATE.APP(1) (the smaller one)? Or will there be a way to select the file? How exactly does it work?

Rommco05 said:
No you need deleted first one from dload and put in second one (small)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry to keep asking questions, but how should I turn off the device once the first UPDATE.APP installs? It keeps trying to boot up.

Rommco05 said:
Leave him try boot to rom, should be boot in but rom will be incomplete and after turn him off
edit: if will be booting more like 10 min boot to recovery and here remove sdcard

Thanks for those edits; I was a bit confused. Thank you for all your help; I'll update you if it works or not. Have a nice night.

I just wanted to leave a reply to let others know what I did:
1. Flashed stock recovery from the big update.zip file (I used the Huawei extractor to get it from the file)
2. Unzipped the big and little zip files
3. Made a folder called dload
4. Put the unzipped contents of the big zip in the dload folder
5. Held power and volume up + down buttons until it installed the big update file
6. I went into the recovery by holding volume up and power
7. I removed the SD card and deleted the contents of the big update and inserted the little update to the dload folder
8. I rebooted and used the same dload method to install the contents of the little update file
9. I went back into the recovery (power and volume up) and did a factory reset
10. I rebooted and everything worked!
11. Installed the intermediate package first and then the official 6.0 software through the dload method
12. Upgraded back to Nougat via the Marshmallow build

The only unfortunate thing was that I received a Nougat beta built, but I think I'll be able to find a finalized version online.

Rommco05 said:
You stuck in beta version? Now you have already instaled stable version

I just installed the files from Honor's site (the intermediate package and the 6.0 firmware) and went back to the official Marshmallow build and then upgraded to the official Nougat release. Everything is all good now!

That's good

Are you sure you're using the rollback package before? You can download it from honor official website, then you move the firmware file in a dload folder on your sdcard. Boot up using both + and - buttons and the power button in the same time and the phone will force the flashing of the rollback ( package needed to go back from android 7 to android 6) file. Then you have to download the android 6 firmware for your device from the honor official website again and flash it with the same process of the rollback package. If you can't undestand i can try to explain it in italian

Just flash the stock recovery there in fastboot. And reboot. Shutdown the phone and use dload method

Basically you missed one thing before restoring stock backup. You should have performed a full factory reset using the second recovery and then restored your TWRP backup.
Your device being stuck on Honor screen is because you forgot to enable encryption (that is done by performing a factory wipe through second recovery).

Follow my guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
Before you do it, flash stock Nougat recovery (if you were on EMUI 5) and perform a factory reset. Then flash TWRP again through Fastboot.
Use the TWRP method since you are unable to boot to EMUI. Chose any firmware you want, whether it be Marshmallow or Nougat.

Are you following the steps exactly as mentioned?
You need to flash TWRP first then setup your device to install the firmware. Read the TWRP section again and follow it exactly as mentioned.
Nothing to worry about that Fastboot status. It is normal.

Damn. I forgot you could simply flash files from Fastboot.
In the future only flash system, cust, vendor, boot and recovery. Do not attempt to flash any other file.
Still, if you want to update to the latest OTA, my guide is always there to help you out.

Unbricking Mate 9 and go stock(Soft Bricked)

I know, i know there's plenty of resources over the net already and I already spent 10+ hrs on this.
I bricked my phone when SuperSU prompts me to install su binary. And it got me into bootloop.
Tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 but failed at 61%
Tried the backup oem file method but TWRP kept saying permission denied when trying to backup
Couldn't find a way to import dload+Update.app file into internal storage without actually booting up the phone first. I didn't knew the exact directory for internal storage so I couldn't copy it from OTG
Bootloader Unlocked, Rooted(before recovery), using TWRP.
I wanna go back to clean stock firmware
Any helps would be appreciated.
ADDED: ITS ORIGINALLY OREO

Any luck? I have the same problem here ..

Still have unlocked bootloader & know the firmware version you were on?
Right. Go to Firmware Finder. Download the FullOTA version of it.
Get one of the firmware extractor utilities. You're going to want SYSTEM, KERNEL, RAMDISK, and RECOVERY_RAMDISK (or RECOVERY_RAMDIS, depending on the extractor).
Get into fastboot mode.
Flash those 4 items to the partitions named the same.
Reboot into recovery - you're now in an EMUI recovery. Factory reset.
Reboot.
You should be back to stock with an unlocked bootloader. If you've gone poking around with root or whatnot and might have modified one of the other partitions, don't relock your device - it won't boot. Instead, hwota8 or a NoCheck stock recovery are probably the way you'd want to go. (To be honest, I haven't used either. If I want to get back to full stock knowing it's not modified, I usually do a downgrade flash to Nougat through HiSuite and then upgrade again.)

Try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
And use this TWRP with it (won't work otherwise, most likely): https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353
(Also, that TWRP has decryption support so you can backup /data.)
Search and download your fw from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
You'll want Update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and the hw data zip. (Make sure it's actually for your phone, e.g. check region cust)
Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip, rename hw data zip to update_all_hw.zip.
Put update zips and HuRupdater zip in the same folder on your sdcard/internal memory, flash HuRupdater with TWRP.

i have a question, im on mha l29 dual sim version with stock oreo magisk and twrp (368 update) how can i revert back to clean oreo? so i can get the updates normally. thanks !!
