Stuck at chinesse region

Please someone help me. I did something(I don't know what) with my L09(Eu version) to update it to Marshmallow. Somehow,my region shows Vendor:cmccchannel, Country:cn. I can't downgrade,root,install twrp,and update it. When I try to flash twrp through adb it says Command not allowed,but my bootloader is unlocked. My build number is MT7-C900B522. How can I fix all that? Thanks

if you used SRK tools, it locked bootloader you should unlock bootloader(fastboot oem unlock YOURUNLOCKCODE),then if you want to use any backups region is important.you must change region(eg:you are in b522 and region must be hw/eu) on succesfull rom then you can use downgrade package and backups too...

dload Update.app method, entering TRWP instead

Hey Guys..
Bought a L29 Mate 8 last week, have been able to unlock, root but now want to install some custom roms..
The installations instructions tell me to go (back) to a stock B1xx rom through the "dload method", and next upgrade to a stock B3xx rom through the "dload" method.
I'm running stock B170, rooted/unlocked right now.
I've loaded a stock B3xx update.app file on my phone, but i'm unable to get the phone to run this update, it either boots normal to system, or when I use vol+/vol-/power it boots into TRWP instead.
Other instructions mention a setting to run update manual going through settings/update but can't find a "manual update"" setting there.
Hope you guys can help me going with this one...
Thanks

You need to flash stock recovery back,use srk tools.

That did the trick, it will "force" manual update now.
Now I run in another problem though, stock rom links for my "NXT-L29C636" are not available, link for C185B170 was still working and the only B320 stock i could find was the one shared by user "bluheart" in his signature "C185B320"
So decided to rebrand the device to C185 with SRK Tool so I would be able to flash these stock roms, first flashed C185B170 through dload method with no problem, and from there tried to flash C185B320 but update does not get passed 5%.
The rom version listed in the device is somehow NXT-C900B170, using the "* # * # 2846579 # * # *" code in dialer confirms phone is "C185 - Africa / Middle East"
Any pointers ?
(edit: tried to reflash C185B170 through download method, also gets stuck @5%)
Thanks

Now in about phone it show C900B170?
Can you get an ota update via updater?
The latest c185B200 so start from this one.
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
Or you need to root B170 and change build display and oem info to C185 in srk tools.after this you will be able to dload c185b320

Used SRK Tools to change ROM version from "NXT-C900B170" to installed "NXT-L29C185B170" in the hope this miss match prevented the update, no luck, also no OTA available.
Thanks for the link, will download this and try to get this going first...
(edit: Changing OEM, SRK Tools read the device as AL-10?, changed to C185, fingers crossed)

Yes flash b200 like you are debranding,I mean change build prop display and oem info to c185.
ro.build.display.id=NXT-L29C185B002

Had no luck with the C185 roms, they all got stuck at 5%, decided to rebrand back to C636 and dload the original NXT-L29C636B170 and that worked, so will create a TRWP backup from here to fall back on.
Will give the rebranding to C185 another try later, with the rom you provided (i wonder if i went wrong somewhere with all rom downloads named "Update.zip" I might have mixed something up)
Maybe you/anybody confirm I take the right steps to rebrand to C185 and update to the NXT-L29C185B200 ROM provided.
Using SRK Tool: (current: NXT-L29C636B170/Rooted/Bootloader Unlocked)
1-Install TRWP
2-Change OEM from C636 to C185
3-Change ro.build.display.id=NXT-L29C636B170 to NXT-L29C185170 or NXT-L29C185B200 ?
4- Copy NXT-L29C185B200 "update.app" to device/dload
5- Install Original Recovery
6- Use vol+/vol-/power to apply B200 update
8-Install TRWP/ create Backup
9- Root ?
10- Copy NXT-L29C185B320 "update.app" to device/dload
11- Install Original Recovery
12- Use vol+/vol-/power to apply B320 update
Thanks in advance....

Debranding

Thanks for your help gm, just made a new attempt and now successfully picking up the updates as a C185.
Getting ready for a custom rom

[SOLVED from FRD-AL00 to FRD-L09] Soft-bricked honor 8 FRD-AL00

I've an honor 8 FRD-AL00. I've fastboot installed and I'm able to access it. I'm also able to access eRecovery.
I've used SRK Tool to change the oeminfo and custom.bin. After trying to install the official L09 I think I bricked my phone.
Here are the steps I've done:
- Unlock bootloader
- Install recovery 6.0
- Root
- Changed oeminfo and custom.bin
- Reboot and tried to install a stock recovery.img boot.img and system.img (which failed while installing it) from offical L09 UPDATE.APP.
Current status: unable to boot either to recovery or android. what should I do in order to get my phone or install the L09 update or at least something that I can use? I've also used the 3 button trick with the dload/UPDATE.APP in the memory card but the phone doesn't show the loading screen it gets stuck into the huawei logo.
I've then tried to install CM13. I've successfully installed twrp-recovery.img but I'm not able to access it (button + vol down nor button + vol up).
Thanks for the help

Doesn't work, it gets stuck at the huawei logo.
After a couple of tries I was able to get TWRP installed so I'm able to access and modify the filesystem.
I've noticed that, for some reason, my phone has the "default.prop" set up to "ro.product.model=eva" shouldn't this be FRD's or something like that?
Can someone provide me a copy of their /default.prop file so I could compare?

Yes. EVA is another Honor phone. It can be caused of the process you did earlier.

This is solved and I'm successfully running a FRD-AL00 with the FRD-L09C432B120 (EMUI 4.1 + Android 6.0). It's a painful process and I only recommend it to advanced users since you can brick your phone. I almost bricked mine.

I also have the same mistakes. Help please ...

For now a moment there is no solution for those issues - the only way is to change back to AL00.

Before you do, please install HiSuite, this tool installs all necessary drivers as well.
1) Unlock bootloader and install TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
2) ROOT: Download SuperSU and flash it using TWRP
2.1) Power off, press volume up + power on
2.2) After TWRP loads, click on Install, select SuperSU zip file you just downloaded and flash it
2.3) Reboot
3) Debrand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4&t=307s
3.1) This video shows how to debrand P9 but it works on Honor 8 (AL00, AL10, AL09 and AL19)
4) Flash new ROM
4.1) More info about ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/frd-al-00-04-09-10-14-19-differences-t3452924
4.2) ALXX ROM download: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...rk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3470823/page3
4.2) LXX ROM download: https://www.androidsage.com/2016/12...rshmallow-emui-5-0-4-1-stock-firmware-update/
Hope this helps but please note FRD-L09 ROM running on FRD-AL00 phone is unstable.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Do you know if is there any hardware difference between AL00 and L09? What is the reason phone gets so unstable when you debrand to L09 and flash EU ROM?

Is there any way to unlock frp from the fastboot if the bootloader is unlocked and the device is bricked.
Already tried : fastboot oem relock xxxxx
Returns : command not allowed
I am on stock recovery and the device is bricked right now.
Help needed!Many thanks!

Just use dload method, but keep in mind that if u try to flash a lower EMUI version you need to flash the rollback package first

- if wrong region firmware is selected in EMUI FLASHER
- if downgrading
- if flashing wrong packages
Prerequisites-
Unlocked and Rooted Honor 8X (root from here)

./oeminfo JSN-L42 C675 hw/in (if you want to debrand to Indian version)
Run the EMUI flasher app you installed earlier, give root persmission.
It will prompt for download of a file around 26 MB (no-check recovery), install it.
Select the respective firmwares from you internal memory based on the region you want to debrand/rebrand to (Update.zip, update_full_JSN-L21_hw_eu.zip and update_data_full_public.zip or update.zip, update_full_JSN-L42_hw_in.zip and update_data_full_public.zip

I did the steps and flashed the L42 files and it worked out fine, and the font was reverted to its original. Then I repeated the steps again and it no longer boots. It can only reach the honor logo and it restarts itself.
