Updating Rooted Huawei Mate 8 ROM - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my Mate 8 running NXT-L29C185B103 with twrp 2.8.7 on bootloader and the device is rooted, I read that it is not a good Idea to update a rooted device because it will not update correctly and I can't unroot the device so is it ok to update or not? by the way I will be updating to NXT-L29C185B180

Flash Stock Recovery,copy the UPdate.APP in dload Folder in Micro Sd,Power off the Mate8.Press Volume + and - and Power Button at same Time for 10 sec and wait the Update Process to finish.Later can install Twrp and Root it.Or flash System,Boot,Cust from B180 via fastboot and wipe Data in Twrp and Root it

I am just worried that something will go wrong, because I don't have the original stock rom, is the B180 version guaranteed to work? I am still a rookie could you please tell me the exact steps to update the ROM on my rooted device?

For me and many UserĀ“s is B180 the best Firmware.Best Batterylife and Stable.
Downoad your L29C185B180 update.zip and unpack it and copy the unpacked UPDATE.APP in SD Card in dload Folder.(If no folder dload exists create a folder named dload on Micro SD Card and copy the extracted UPDATE.APP in this Folder)
Download here the Stock Recovery and unpack it.
Copy the extracted RECOVERY.img in your ADB/Fastboot Folder and Reboot the Mate8 into Bootloader.
Flash the Recovery via ADB Command:fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
and: fastboot reboot
Your Mate 8 reboot,after complete booting in System Power off the Device.
Press Volume+/- and Power Button at same Time for 10 seconds and the Mate 8 make the B180 Update.
Wait to 100% and is finish

Stuck at twrp no idea how to install SO... I'm so scared

WTF did I do? no idea guys...
I had my phone working fine, I found out that was an official lolipop, I WANTED IT.
1. I had my phone with MT7-L09V1... and rooted,
2. I tried to install lolipop manually wth usb debugging on, trough the phone normally then with the reset was jumping one of the recovery I had no idea which one was it but it wasn't working I guess because my recovery was 4.4 no idea...
3. Then I installed Recovery installer for mate7 android 5.1, in my pc is a software that allows you to install any recovery for ascend mate 7 I guess you know what's that.
4. I installed Twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery 4.4, and then I entered in recovery mode.
Wait for it......
5. I wiped: System, Cache, Data and Cust. Now I can't entered my OS.
What do I have to do now? I just want lolipop but now I'm scared if I f**** bricked my phone because I don't know what I'm doing...
Little help pls I'm fu*** xD

2. Download huawei lolipop to kitkat transition package, put it to folder dload on (fat32 formated) memory card and flash it via keycombo (try to insert memory card in card slot just after huawei logo
3. If it flash succesfuly go to next step, if not, try to flash system.img recovery.img boot.img via fastboot commands (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) on bootloader screen (turn on phone with volume down + power button with your phone plugged in the PC).

Yes, but the rollback is for B351
In my opinion, you need to install and BOOT.img and recovery.img of 6.1.16 to run the rollback, otherwise you have to find the rollback of B503

Restore All phone + update problem

Hello, sorry bad english ^^.
1) I would like to delete the message "your phone is unlock" to sell my phone.
It is possible to delete TWRP and the unlock ? or just hide the message ? i need a clear factory phone.
2) update impossible !
- The "update" menu in setting disappear !
- HiCare say "Your phone is up to date" but i have the red badge (1) on icon Setting
- TWRP say error : 7 when i swipe the update xxxxB389 update.zip correctly
My phone is FRD-L09 C432B380
Thanks For Help :good:
First you have to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and "fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img" from extracted update.zip of current B380 firmware (huawei firmware extractor). You just replace custom recovery with stock one. Second read the process of dload method. Then download rollback package for your model and firmware B131 (Android M). You could find them somewhere on XDA or download them through Honor site/Firmware Finder. First dload rollback package, than the same for update.zip and then update_data_full_hw_eu.zip. After all 3 files are flashed you should be back to stock and ready to take standard OTA to latest firmware without any sign of unlocked bootloader.

i don't understand, i'm novice.
i don't have a windowsOS to launch firmwareExtractor exe , but i have the fastboot command in terminal.
i have found and download the rollback package : hihonor.com/fr/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92133
Someone could send you the right recovery.img and recovery2.img if he has downloaded FRD-L09C432B380 and has got Windows to extract that. And you need a B131 firmware to download (2 zips).
Do I understand that you have nonWindowsOS PC and you have access to adb and fastboot respectively (and via that you were able to unlock your device in the first place)?
mmm yes i have unlock my phone via ADB on OSX
i have found B131 . : hidrive.strato.com/lnk/Rdljlogo
that all i need ?
Yes, b131 is only one zip file with aproximately 1,75GB, rollback package is about 74,4MB (both comprised). I do attach recovery files from FRD-L09C432B381 and which I used to flash over TWRP before updating to newest firmware. It should work. Start with flashing recovery via fastboot, than dload rollback and last would be the firmware. Good luck! Give others feedback if it helped you.

Thank you.
he stays 3hour download so i recaps ^^:
1 ) Flashing with FastBoot recovery.img and after Recovery2.img
2) What can i do with RollBack ? i have dload folder with UPDATE.APP inside
3) Swipe Firmware b131 with TWRP ?
4) i have a clear phone with no unlock ? and i can update in setting app
1) Yes. Estabilish fastboot connection with your device, put the files in the folder of your "adb program" and use the commands above. Now, you will lost TWRP and will have stock recovery.
2) Yes. I have sent you a link to check dload process. You have to dload rollback via button combination with your SD card. It's all there.
3) No. After flashing rollback package via dload you have to do the same dload process for the B131 firmware. It's just the same. Very short recap is here.
4) Yes, back to stock, only with "old firmware".
Yeah thanks i will doing this soon

i have TWRP running on the phone. i just want to go back to stock OS. please help how do i do this?
unknown command [errno] update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip from zip failed
when i try to flash the stock huawei rom
i can run fastboot and twrp but nothing else works. i will paypal 15 dollars to someone who can help me
You can download the full firmware directly from honor, unzip it, and place the update.app file in a dload folder that you create on your sd card. Power of the phone then hold volume up, down, and power at the same time to initiate an automatic flash of the room you downloaded. This will erase everything, so be aware.
1.Download full rom from huawei support site then extract update.app
2.place it in dload folder using twrp (in twrp enable MTP)
3.Now extract the recovery.img from update.app using huawei extractor and flash it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.now power off phone then start phone holding Volume Up ,Volume Down & power button simultaneously
5.it will start updating

I had the same problem once.
You can try to flash the cust partition of your phone. The "device verification failed"-message should disappear then. It's not enough to only flash boot, system and recovery. If there is a problem with the cust partition of your phone you can also have problems with flashing stock roms via "dload"-method.
1. Download the right stock firmware via the huawei firmware finder. You usually have two .zip files (e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip). The image file for the cust partition can be found in the update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip (choose the right one for your model).
2. Unpack update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip and extract the cust partition with the huawei firmware extractor.
3. Put your phone into fastboot mode
4. Use the following command: fastboot flash cust cust.img
5. Try to boot into your stock rom.

bricked honor 8

Hi, i have a honor 8 FRD-L09 unlocked bootloader, I don't know what was the original rom. I can't start it, I tried to install many versions, with dload nothing is working it stops at 5% and gives an error,I achieved to get one at 25% but it then failed but with fastboot and huawei extractor im able to install recovery,boot,system img files but it doesn't changes anything. I have access to erecovery but when I try to connect to a wifi it says that it's a wrong password even though im sure it's the right. If anyone is able to help me it could be nice, Thank you.
I installed twrp recovery but it still boots on emui erecovery.

You need to remove your USB cable to boot on TWRP (press "Power" and "Vol+" buttons, and only release "Power" - only hold "Vol+" - button when first blue screen appears).
If your phone is stuck on message "Device is booting...", you flashed a wrong TWRP version. Ask me if you want to try an another version.
But firstly, did you try this how-to (dload folder method): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/problem-frd-l09-t3596449 ?
Is there a model number written bottom back of your phone? (real FRD-L09 model?)
Good luck! =)

But firstly, did you try this how-to (dload folder method): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/problem-frd-l09-t3596449 ?
Is there a model number written bottom back of your phone? (real FRD-L09 model?)
Good luck! =)

I just tried this dload method but the software installation failed at 30%. I don't even know if flashing twrp is really useful and the number on the back of the phone is FRD-L09. I don't know what to do.

Is it "Rollback package" UPDATE.APP which fail at 30%? Try "firmware B131" UPDATE.APP directly, if you have not.
I don't know about extracting ".img" from an UPDATE.APP file and flashing them... seems dangerous. ^^
If you boot on TWRP, you will be able to follow this thing (use FRD-L09 link and do all steps and step 5. fully: "Dlload For FRD-L09" flash to complete properly): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220
I can't help you more if it fails again, sorry...

Rollback package is okay but the firmware fails. I've tried the method with twrp but system.img won't install. I even tried to extract it and install it with fastboot but it says "cannot load system.img"

Try this 10 steps, that's the last idea I could give you...
0. Need an unlocked bootloader / Knowing how to boot on bootloader and use adb/fastboot command-line tools. (GUIDE HERE)
1. Download TWRP:
-- 1a) Recent version (EMUI 5.x installed firmware): twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img and use fastboot command to flash it
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
>>>> If phone is stuck on message "device is booting now..." when you try to boot TWRP, use old version.
-- 1b) Old version (EMUI 4.1 installed firmware): twrp-3.0.2-0-frd-modaco-rc1.img and use fastboot command to flash it
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-frd-modaco-rc1.img
2. Download this modded FRD-L09C432B131 firmware (.zip): here
3. Copy the zip file to your SD card. (You can do that when your phone is booted on TWRP: plug your USB cable)
4. In TWRP, go to "Wipe" > "Format Data".
5. In TWRP, go to "Flash" > Select the zip file and flash!
6. When finished, do step 4 again before rebooting your phone!
7. Phone can take some minutes to boot, take it easy! If it works, download "stock" (original) B131 firmware: https://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92101
8. Open the zip file and extract "dload" folder on your computer. Then copy the "dload" folder inside your SD card (root of the SD card).
9. Flash it with "Power" + "Vol-" + "Vol+" buttons.
10. Last step (RECOMMENDED) - Factory reset: how-to
