Rollback Procedure Failing. Need Help - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys I'm asking some help about the rollback procedure that won't work.
I did a rollback 10 days ago from B316 to 6.0 than updated with Charles to B320 with success doing the Huawei procedure (Mid-Package + Final-Package to 6.0).
Now I want to rollback from B320 to 6.0 than install B360. My version is FRD-L09.
I successfully flashed the mid-package but when I try to flash 6.0 package at 5% it says to me that "The package does not exist. Please download the package again". I tried everything, redownloading the 6.0 package etc.
What I can do? I'm stucked and I can't find anything to solve.
Thanks in advance.

Nothing to do. It's the same file I downloaded and it won't work.
Thanks again for trying to help.

Ok I solved performing a factory reset before flashing 6.0 firmware.

You need roll back package for L29. It will be around 90 mb. Put it in dload folder in sdcard. Then go to dialer and type *#*#2846579#*#* and then select software upgrade. It will reboot and will undergo that process or you can do that three finger process. Once it is done you can reboot back to your OS. This time put the B1xx or B3xx firmware in dload folder and try to do that again. It will go back.
In my case I went back from L29C432B560 to L29C432B180 doing this way. I am saying this from my personal experience. Key here is the rollback package from Huawei. It is there in one of the threads or you can google Huawei rollback package. Once you get that you resolve your issue.
Another thing I observed is locked bootloader.
Hope it works out for you.

Go to this link
http://m.huawei.com/mymobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm
And select the last one L29C900B500
That is the one I used.
If that code doesn't work then try the 3 finger rule
After you do with this rollback package
You will once again come back to nougat
You can check the build number if the process is successful.
Then you have to dload again to B180 or B3xx
Hope this works for you

Don't think it will make any difference. You may try to install update.zip (EMUI 4.0) via twrp.
Just checking. Is your FRP unlocked?

Can you boot to bootloader and check if FRP is unlocked or lock?
Make sure your original firmware (6.0) is full not ota.

I had the same problems.
option 1
I downloaded stock B560 zip files
flashed it in TWRP
next I locked the bootloader
now the dload to rollback - worked. buildnumber - changed
then another dload to B180 to go back.
after that I did dload to B190
updated to B560 using system update. then I flashed kangvip B577 and its all good now.
my phone was debranded to L29c432 so I used these files.
you have to get the right set of files for your phone model especially stock firmware.
roll back package from here

You can change by switch off your phone then press volume down and plug in your usb cable. It will bring you to bootloader mode. From there it will tell you bootloader and FRP status

Frd-al00's rollback is different from l04.
If you are in official emui 5.
I suggested you download hisuite in huawei website, and then connect your phone to pc, click system update in hisuite, you will see rollback button.

Interesting discussion. so is 360 the only version you can do a straight flash back to in TWRP, or is there a newer version?
Can the stock rom be rooted using Magisk or SuperSU - can one of them be flashed immediatedly after flashing the update zips before rebooting, while twrp is still loaded?
Rommco05 said:
B360 is first stable Nougat for most models and I starting from this firmware and after update device with OTA. Yes supersu works, I was using modified supersu wich is posted in twrp thread by openkirin team and I always install them after first boot to rom

Yes, but if you flash back to b360, it doesn't take OTA updates, and I don't want to relock the bootloader.
The main issue I have with stock is the inability to turn off the battery charging LED - it really annoys me.
Help.
Been messing around. I'm now on b380 but camera doesn't work and updates don't work. I've lost twrp, and if I try to install it it fails, although my boot loader says it's unlocked. It's there a way to flash the restore from a pc if I can't get twrp reinstalled?

Eventually resolved by downloading rollback package and b331 from Huawei site, and putting the update.app from each in dload on the sd card and forcing flash.
Frd-Al10 has native CallRecorder?

Does anyone know hot to fix it? Can't find rollback

You should have performed a factory reset after installing the firmware since you were switching your region.
Anyways, to better assist you, please PM me your Telegram, Hangouts or any thing throughout the which we can easily communicate and solve your problem.

Nougat on FRD-C900?

Background: I got my Honor 8 today, model # FRD-L04 (important later), updated to EMUI 5.1 and Nougat via Updater on phone, and decided I wasn't satisfied with EMUI. So I rooted and that went smoothly, but when I tried to flash a custom ROM, I bricked pretty hard. Long story short, tried flashing multiple ROMs until I found one that worked. The ROM I'm on right now has EMUI 5.1 and build number FRD-C900B131, which is completely different from my original build (FRD-L04). Looked it up and turns out it's a variant of the H8. Unfortunately, I tried to update via Updater and there were no updates available, so I'm stuck with EMUI 4.1 and MM for now (not complaining, since at least it works again). I also tried flashing the rollback ROM for the L04, but I got an incompatibility error when I tried dload method. So now, question is how do I get back to my original stock FRD-L04 ROM, or how do I update to Nougat on this model version (C900B131)?
Thanks for the quick reply. Could you guide me through how I would approach this? I'm not sure which TWRP to use for my (incorrect) build. Do you think using the TWRP for my correct build (L04) should be okay? I'm on EMUI 4.1 also, I think the EMUI version matters too when choosing which TWRP to flash.

Awesome, thank you. I've installed it and it seems to be working fine with no issues. So I found the rollback package for my model (L04), so I should just install this through TWRP? And then install the Honor 8 upgrade firmware? Does that sound right?

Impossible to update beyond B380 [L19]

Hi,
I am having troubles with my Honor since I bought it. When I got the mobile and update the first time, 2 minutes out of the box, it got briked, bootloop.
I read a lot this forum. First I tried to put the B380. It worked but NTDKeys in compilation number, so I did the MM Rollback. Everything OK. I wait some days but I did not receive any ota. So, I installed FF and updated via Proxy, everything well until I upgraded to B389. I got another bootloop.
Well, I tried another time. I download from the Huawei UK the rollback now. I downgraded to MM. When I connected the Wi-Fi, I received the OTA to B360. Then B380, then B389 but **** the mobile again, another bootloop. I read more the forum, some people say they update the FRD from Hisuite and did not have any problem. I tried too, but another time bootloop beyond the B380.
The last thing I read about people with similar problems was that they update with the Service Full Repair B398, with dload method or flashing cust, system boot and recovery. But do you know what I get? Another bootloop.
The last thing I tried today is the last FULLOTA-PV I found on FF (b398), it was released 3 days ago. Flashed the firm and the regional update but bootloop. I don't know what to do. I want update my Honor but I don't know how. If anybody has any idea, it will be appreciate.
Thanks.
PD: The mobile phone was AL10 but the seller rebrand to European, L19C432. If I check right now the firmware from Fastboot, it is L19C432B398.
with that FullOTA-PV rom, i highly recommend you just install TWRP and flash the two zips this way. the PV versions of OTAs are flashable with TWRP, so no need for using stock recovery or redlotus.

I already did this but there is no change, (with TWRP and dload, first dload and when I saw it was not workirg with TWRP). I have MM another time because it is the only way I found to have a mobile and not a brick,

I'm doing something wrong or my mobile likes to **** me...
I flashed the last FullOTA-MF with the custom recovery and redlotus but it had the same behaviour. Just after upgrade from hisuite, the mobile takes one long boot (blue honor screen for ~5 minuts) then it rebooted and started the bootloop until it enters to eRecovery.
Any more ideas? My last backup is with B380 and I'm be able to work with this but I cannot upgrade :S
