OTA links are already there on xda, but here was no specific thread for sparkle v so i am writing one
Google has released the OTA files for sparkle v and other android one devices.
NOTE: To update your phone using OTA files your phone should be running Stock lollipop or atleast stock recovery
If you are running a custom rom or custom recovery then before proceeding to this guide you must revert back to stock lollipop using sp flash tool
Pre-requisites: 1.Your phone should be atleast 60% charged
2. Back up all important data (just to be safe)
3. Make sure you have the stock lollipop rom so that you can get your phone back if anything goes wrong.
GUIDE-
Sparkle V users can easily update their device by following these steps:
Step 1: Download the official Marshmallow OTA file from here https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/google_sparklevsprout_sparklev/d1178816334e0c160d435ab0a88f78a5005053c0.signed-sprout-karbonn-ota-2280749-omit-oem.zip
Step 2: Connect your smartphone to computer using the original USB cable.
Step 3: Copy and paste the OTA zip files to phone's storage and make a note of its location.
Step 4: Boot your smartphone into recovery mode or stock recovery: Disconnect the phone from computer, and then turn it off.
Press and hold both the Volume and the Power buttons until the display turns on and enters bootloader mode.
Hit the volume button to open the Recovery menu and then press the power button to select it. Your phone should now boot into recovery mode.
At this moment, a dead Android with an exclamation mark should appear on the screen. Now press and hold Power button for three seconds and then hit the Volume up button once to progress into recovery mode.
Step 5: Return to the main recovery screen and choose 'install update from sdcard'.
Step 6: Then select the OTA zip file using the volume buttons for navigation and the Power button to select any file or open a folder. After you select the zip file, confirm its installation and the update should start installing on your device.
Step 7: Once the installation is done, return to main screen of recovery. Choose Reboot system now to restart the phone and boot into the newly installed Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA update from Google.
Voila!! You are running official Android 6.0
I found this on ibtimes. I HAVE JUST COPY PASTED the guide for convenience. Hit thanks if helped.
Hi..
I updated my honor 6 to the new marshmallow update... During the update it restarted and is in a reboot loop ever since.. Pls help
Follow these steps to install it again manually
Download your phone's latest firmware.
After doing this put the UPDATE.APP in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously. If its looping, then connect immediately after a loop gets back you to black screen.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.

Well since you have the EU FRD-L09 variant, connect your device to your PC and use the Huawei software to update to Oreo. I did that

I tried this method a while ago. I downloaded the software and connected the phone with the computer and I pressed the update button and its give me that i am on the latest firmware FRD-L09C432B416. which is nougat firmware not oreo.
i've tried all possible methods on the internet with no luck.
i guess i have to unlock my bootloader and install the update via costum recovery

Hey, I have the same phone, same problem. I am now trying to update manually but the *#*#2846579#*#* code doesn't work and can not put the phone into manufacturer mode. It just doesn't respond to the code. Any hints? Cheers

Try dc unlocker to unlock you bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Than flash latest nougat and update to Oreo via Hisuite.

Backup everything (even the SD card). E-VE-RY-TING !
Wipe your SD Card and then create a folder called "dload".
Put the Normal Update called UPDATE.APP in the dload folder on your SD Card.
Turn off your device. Then maintain Vol+, Vol - and Power buttons until it vibrates. You will have a screen talking about an update, just let it do it.
The device will reboot but will be stuck. Remove the SD Card and plug it in your computer (I used a second phone).
Remove the UPDATE.APP inside the dload folder in your SD Card.
You have a folder like this "FRD-L09_hw_eu". Inside your have a file. Rename it UPDATE.APP and copy it inside the dload folder on your SD Card.
Maintain Vol+, Vol- and Power buttons until it turns off and on again. Let the update loading...
Replug your SD Card, remove the UPDATE.APP and place the Normal Update again, the first file we put on the SD Card.
Maintain Vol+, Vol- and Power buttons until it turns off and on again. Let the update loading...
When it reboots, maintain Vol+ and Power buttons. You will be in the eRecovery. Wipe everything you can.
Reboot, grab a cup of coffee, and wait. It can be long !

thanks for reply,
i got my device bricked, i have flashed the rollback package twice and that got me a hard brick.no recovery, no eRecovery, no boot,i got stuck on the first honor logo (not bootloop bc the logo is not animated) and fastboot mode also work but i have a locked bootloader and frp.
I need to downgrade to the version 8.0.0.163 to then use DC Unlocker 2 to unlock my bootloader.
I tried to download the update.zip, extract the UPDATE.APP inside a folder called dload on my sdcard root, then entered the recovery mode using volume up + power but then nothing happens, I don't know how to proceed.
Does anyone knows how to do the downgrade process?
Than you in advance
Both volume keys held at boot will boot to dload mode.

In my tablet It is not possible to press both up and down at the same time, is one volume button or another
I can get into the recovery mode but having the dload folder and the UPDATE file inside doesn't start the downgrade automatically. I have the usual options (wipe cache, factory reset ...)
On Mediapad T5 AGS2, you should be able to press both volume buttons at same times
