L-29C900B*** Problem no C432 - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA-Guys,
i think i might found a Problem - i wanted to flash Nougat (B560)... it didnt worked via TWRP.
So i wanted to go back to stock B152 to upgrade via OTA Update.
And then i relised that my TWRP is backing up everyrom with C900B170! My Huawei Mate8 says its C900B180!
but the most thing that ****s up is that i install C432B152 from here - and when its done im on C900B152...
so orignal it should be C432 since im from Germany but i only get C900 - that sucks because only C432 get Nougat, right?
Or to sort the Topic:
Is the b560 still beta? I got my eyes on a online article that says huawei is rolling out B560!
If someone has some infos for me that would be fine.
The C900/C432 is not a problem for me so no troubleshooting needed - but if it denies me the Nougat Update then i need help ( if its not beta anymore).
Thanks guys

can you fix it? I have the same problem and nothing

Root you phone then change ro.build = NextL09C999B100 and oeminfo = C432 by using SRK Tools

@EGOiST1991 and @dexz I'm having the same problem. I am on C636B320 but it's shown as C900B320 so when I try to follow the guide to update to C432B560 it fails.
My plan was first to get the phone recognised as C636 and then via the srk tool debrand to C432 and then when in TWRP 3.0.2 emui 4.1 follow the guide to get to C432B560.
Now the problem I am having is that I don't know how to get my phone to go from C900 to C636... I'm the srk tool my phone isn't recognised when the tool runs adb server. I belive that is because it is on C900 to begin with, I have HiSuite installed on the computer (Win 10). The files, oeminfo and custom.bin, for C636 are in the tools folder can't I just manually put them in the correct location?
Edit: I have unlocked bootloader and I'm rooted FYI
Edit2: Gotten the computer to recognise the phone. But when I run the srk tool to flash oeminfo and custom.bin it stops at "waiting for device". If I run adb devices I can see my device number but after it says Offline.
An other problem I have noticed is that TWRP 3.0.2-0-next.img doesn't seem to accept my decrypted/insecure_boot_B320.img which is need to format data before flashing B560. The only TWRP version that accepts/hold the decrypted/insecure boot.img is TWRP_3.0.2-0_BLACK_BLUE_EMUI4.1.img

Yeah I am in boot mode but the srk tool still doesn't find my device or rather running adb devices returns device number with comment Offline. Which is strange because if instead go to fastboot and run fastboot devices I can see my device with no problem, so that to me seem like it's not an USB driver issue.
As soon as I am able to debrand to C432 I will give it a go again. At the moment I'm trying to find a way to manually change. I'm going to post a comment on QA for that.

No I give up! I love this phone but damn it is complicated to flash roms. All other phones are simple.
Today I tried again, this time by manually testing some steps which I don't know if they are correct since no one seems to be able to answer me. Any way which ever twrp I flash that isn't the one I'm using for flashing B320 won't boot or won't wipe data.
First Attempt:
1. Change build.prop (C432)
2. Change oeminfo file (C432)
3. Change custom.bin (C432)
4. Flash insecure_boot_b560.img by @franzyroy
5. Flash twrp-3.0.3_EMUI5.0.img
6. Boot loop booting to TWRP so FAILED
Second Attempt:
1. Flash decrypted insecure_boot_B320.img
2. Flash TWRP_3.0.2-0_BLACK_BLUE_EMUI4.1.img
3. Wipe Data
4. Factory Reset
5. Flash insecure_boot_b560.img
6. Flash twrp-3.0.2-0-next-modaco-rc3-emui41.img as suggested by @franzyroy
6. Boot loop booting to TWRP so FAIL AGAIN.
Third Attempt:
1. Flash decrypted insecure_boot_b560.img
2. Flash TWRP_3.0.2-0_BLACK_BLUE_EMUI4.1.img
3. Try flashing supersu_v2.79_sr2.zip get error about mounting memory
4. Try flashing
update_full_hw_eu.zip get error 7
Fourth Attempt:
1. Flash decrypted insecure_boot_B320.img
2. Flash twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img
3. Successfully booted to TWRP (woho! Maybe just maybe...)
4. Wipe Data failed, can't mount memory *cry*
Fifth Attempt, let's go back:
1. Flash insecure_boot_b180.img
2. Flash TWRP-3.0.2-BLACK-BLUE_EMUI4.0.img
3. Boot loop booting into recovery so FAILED
F*ck it, went back to B320!
I really don't know what I'm doing any more lol. I guess the last thing could do is go completely stock again (unroot and lock bootloader) by dload(?), rebrand from AL10 to L29C432, update via OTA to nougat and then unlock bootloader and root again. I just feel it shouldn't be necessary and secondly I don't know how to go completely stock again [emoji13]

then let the update magic begin in the c432b192 rom with unlooked bootloader -worked good
maybe that helps you

Downgrade from lollipop b312 to kitkat b143

As the title, anyone know how? I tried the transitional b300 but failed. Tq in advanced
I just did mine couple of days ago. Rollback to b300 worked without any issues. Then trying to install b141 I couldn't get it working( 3 button method wasn't getting to installation screen, it was rebooting device after huawei logo). So I tried few times with SD card taken out, worked after 3rd time(you have to push the card in just when the huawei logo is going off).
Not sure why you cannot install transition pack, what phone have you got? Is your recovery stock? Phone rooted and unlocked?

Ok, problem solved. Before being stuck, I was on 145, then >148...wanted 145 back, and flashed 300. Somehow was able to then upgrade to 324 and >327. Camera is really slow on 5.1.1 and somehow doesn't take full pics (leaves gallery with multiple "no image") files.
Flashed 300 again and became stuck for the past two weeks. Re-flashing and factory resetting failed as well. Read somewhere on the forum to not factory reset on 5.1.1, after the fact, and thought I'd been soft-bricked.
**Update: finally was able to unlock boot-loader; and via adb/fastboot, re-flashed 300>324>327.
Thinking of going back 145 if I can't find solution for LP root.
Thanks for all the input tho, helped in organizing my thoughts on what went wrong.
How did you flash using fastboot. Can you write the procedure please. Did you use a custom recovery or directly flash using fastboot?

You need to be on correct firmware version (KK or LP) to flash correctly.
-Extract correct firmware using Huawei Update Extractor (127-137SP03), and highlight boot, recovery img
-Power down device and do Volume - and Power with usb plugged (to enter rescue mode)
-Shift + right click inside adb/fastboot folder (to open command prompt)
-Type: adb devices (to make sure it recognizes, you should see your device number)
-Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img (wait a few seconds, success)
-Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (wait few seconds again, success)
-Type: fastboot reboot (your device should reboot and flashed to the firmware you chose.

Manually debrand from C900 to Cxxx

So the easiest way to do this as I understand it is to use @somboons srk tool unfortunately I'm having trouble with adb.
Running the srk tool the process gets stuck on the command waiting for device
I have tried different adb/fastboot installers and when I run the adb devices command I always get returned "device number Offline"
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58a18bc141157/IMG_20170213_113246.jpg
But funny enough running fastboot devices with phone in fastboot mode return correct respond and I can flash file via fastboot so I don't think it's the USB drives.
So I'm now trying to find a manual way to do it, searching for the past few days have lead me to the following, but I would like someone to confirm that this is the way to go:
1. Take oeminfo from srk tool folders and place it at
/dev/blocl/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo
2. Take custom.bin from srk tool folder and place it at
/data
3. Change build.prop file at /System
And changing the line
ro.build.display.id=NextL00C432B011 for C432
Additional questions I have is that currently am on C636B320 and if I restart my phone will it boot up if I change above thing?
Since I need to change the build.prop file I need to use a file browser/Explorer on the phone... Or is it possible to do the changes above from TWRP?
My ultimate goal is to go to C432B560.
System info:
Unlocked bootloader
Rooted
L29C900B320 (belive it was C636 update.img)
Phone was originally AL10
Computer info:
Windows 10

I'll reply to you in this thread since my initially problem is connected to the question I have in this thread.
To answer your question my phone shows C900B320 same as @EGOiST1991 did. My issue is that I can't use adb commands which means I can't use the srk tool to rebrand. I belive that is why I cannot follow the guide stated in the other thread about updating to nougat. If you read op on this thread you see the issue I have, like you said one step at a time. My goal is to upgrade to nougat... I'm wondering if wouldn't be easier to go stock and update via official update and then root once on C432B560. But if I can get it to work with TWRP which always had been easier until now I would rather do that, then I don't need to redo as many steps.
PS. I appreciate if you point me in the correct direction.

Ok. Let's settle your adb first because it's much easier having adb working for now and in the future.
1. Which adb version are you using? SRK tools adb should be fine. Make sure run SRK Tools as administrator.
2. Did you installed latest HiSuite (for latest debug driver)?
3. Did you tried different usb port/usb cable?
Sorry you have to do the checklist. Just bare with me on this.
Edit:
One more thing you can try. Plug in your phone to your computer. Make sure the usb debugging icon showing. In Developer Options, select "Revoke USB debugging authorisation" then press OK. Unplug the usb cable then replug it again. You should get message "Allow USB debugging". Tick Always allow and press OK. After that try the "adb devices" again. Hope this will solve your adb issue.

1. I have used minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4 and also tried from the srk commadn folder, in both I have run adb kill-server and adb start-server and then adb devices but I always get respond "Device number Offline".
Yes I have run the tool as administrator but it always get stuck on "Waiting for device..."
2. HiSuite version: 5.0.1.300_OVE
3. Different cable and port
4. USB debugging enabled
I dont have that option in Developer Option
The only Revoke option there is when I search is the following

Ok. I think that's the reason why your adb detect offline because of usb debugging authorisation issue. Maybe you can extract boot.img & recovery.img from update.app B320 and then flash it via fastboot. After that do factory reset. Backup if needed. After enter to the system. Enable developer option again then check if revoke usb debugging showing.

Maybe you can extract boot.img & recovery.img from update.app B320 and then flash it via fastboot. After that do factory reset. Backup if needed. After enter to the system. Enable developer option again then check if revoke usb debugging showing.

That did the trick!!! Cheers!!!
Now shall we go back to the other thread?
Edit: So I felt adventures (I know I know ) and started trying to debrand, initially didn't get it to work but now I'm half way there...
I managed to flash oeminfo and custom.bin for C432 via srk tool when I look in About Phone the following is stated:
Model Number: NXT-L29
Build Number: NXT-C900B320 I believe it is because I haven't changed the build prop
Now to the "issue" when changing the oeminfo and custom.bin with the srk tool the phone did a factory reset and I now I see that in fastboot it states:
Phone Locked
FRP Locked
So this was what I was trying to avoid initially but since it happened I wonder which is the best way forward. Unlocking bootloader once again, installing TWRP and rooting or with the bootloader locked try to go completely stock and down to C432B192....?

Glad you managed to get adb back.
Before you do anything please make sure FRP is unlock first (This step is very important before you go Nougat). In developer option under Enable Oem Unlocked is turn on and once you flashed oeminfo it will lock your phone again. Just unlock your Bootloader using SRK Tools. I assumed you have BL code right? Once you have Unlocked BL, Unlocked FRP, TWRP, Root & Debrand. Now you are ready to go Nougat. Report me back.
Good luck

Before I do complete rebrand... Shouldn't I go to a C432 rom first otherwise I will get bootloop, because of incompatible rom and "model", right?

Yes. You should debrand first. I mean debrand should be done before going to Nougat.

Sorry I think I need step by step instructions now...
I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP for EMUI 4.1 is installed and I think I'm running C636B320 but it is shown as C900B320.
If I change build.prop to C432 I won't be able to boot up on my current C636B320 update.zip so I will download C432B320. And install it from TWRP 4.1 after changing build.prop or maybe do first hmmm...
An other option could be to change build.prop, get bootloop, go to fastboot flash TWRP 4.0 and then flash C432B192.
Which do you think is the better option going forward and keeping in mind I want to go to L29C432B560?

I would suggest use C432B180/192 then in TWRP do format data, wipe (cache, dalvik, system and data) After that flash C432B180/192.zip then reboot to system. You can do debrand from here before going to b560. Once debrand. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l29c432b560-official-t3540042/ follow the steps.
PS: Remember build number must not be C900**** before proceed to B560 or else you end up become test-keys

You can't used TWRP 4.0 because you are still in EMUI 4.1 . Try flashing TWRP 4.1 then install C432B180/B192

It's either C432B180 or C432B192?
Or both in sequence i.e first B180 and then B192?

It's either one. If you can flash B192 then B192 it is.

Success!!!
I ddidn't need to change build.prop via srk tool after flashing B192 it already showed C432!!
I checked the updater and it shows B560, should I still do it via https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l29c432b560-official-t3540042/
I goes it will be harder to get rooted if I first go to B560 instead of following sillanwali guide

stock recovery corrupted

apparently my stock recovery is corrupted. I am unable to flash back to stock or apply any updates. the phone hangs at the bootloader unlocked warning screen every time. I have tried everything to try to fix it but nothing works. I extracted the stock recovery and even tried to fastboot flash it but it didn't work either. does anyone have any suggestions? the phone is not rooted, but the bootloader is unlocked. thanks so much is advance.
**also mean to mention that erecovery will not work either. it always says download failed

Yes finally. You have to download the update file for whatever version of the rom you currently have installed. Then extract userdata, boot, system, and erecovery1 and erecovery2 images. Fastboot flash them in bootloader mode. Reboot device. Shutdown device. Boot to system recovery and do a full system restore. All set.

can u make the total tutorial video of this whole process ???
I would ask if you could post a link to the update you used and a list of the commands you used..im in the US ..so it is honor 6x for the US
bricked honor 6x
You need three softwares
1. huawei multi tool by mt,,,,, in english version bro
2. Huawei update extractor
3. Firmware file update .zip
First extract the zip file , there you will get update.app file . Extract BOOT.IMG RECOVERY.IMG SYSTEM.IMG USER DATA.IMG using Huawei extractor software .
NOW open huawei multitool app (internet connection required)
Put all these files you extracted in unbrick folder of huawei multi tool
Follow steps to unbrick your device
Thank you..
can you send the links please....thank you!

Try to flash twrp first , later flash stock recovery from twrp by clicking on flash image . Be sure u are installing a working recovery but not a corrupted one

eRecovery stops at 5% - Bricked?

Hi guys,
so i just had my Honor 8 on Android 7 (EMUI 5.0?) rooted and unlocked but wanted to unroot and relock. I used a tutorial for that but i think i made a mistake.
Now I stuck on the honor 8 bootscreen. I can enter fastmode and the recovery but my battery is always low.
I used the rollback package but it didnt install. Also a factory reset from the stock recovery doesnt work.
I also tried a method from here where you flash the cust.img boot.img recovery.img and the system.img from the stock an then flash the Update.app via eRecovery but this also didnt work. It stucks at 5% and does nothing. I am also not able to get to the eRecovery without pluging in the usb into the pc.
Is there any possibility to save my honor? Data's all saved.
I tried it with the rollback package, the B101 and B131 i think.
Thanks,
Musti
Hello, what is your Honor 8 model number? (L04/L09/L19/etc.)
Sorry, FRD-L09

What you can do is to try to flash firmware via TWRP.
Follow this guide (use "FRD-L09" link ofc...): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220
And after TWRP flash, you should flash this firmware (L09 link instead of L19 link of the guide) via dload folder method: FRD-L09C432B131
If you need help to find TWRP version, see my post : here
Do the method where you flash cust.img system.img etc but this time you boot into recovery and factory reset, then just boot, i do this everytime

Bootloop and eRecovery fails, dload fails - no way to recover

Hi people,
I need some help here and I hope anybody got an idea to get my FRD-L09 (C432 - on B521 base with OpenKirin's RROS Oreo) to work again somehow.
Situation is: After a failed attempt to upgrade the firmware base to B562 my device is now bootlooping, and goes into eRecovery, after one or two tries to boot, which is then offering to "Download and recovery". That fails at getting package info ("Getting package info failed").
Next I tried to install full OTA-PV package (extracted UPDATE.APP) via dload folder on my SD - that fails at 5 % ("Software install failed!"). For this I took the service ROM from this thread (see post #24 for Oreo version) and version B521 for FRD-L09C432 from firmware finder.
I also tried to get into TWRP 3.2.0 from Huawei Multi-Tool by TeamMT but this suddenly reboots after a few seconds everytime - so this is also useless (I tried several TWRP versions I found - maybe 'bootcomplete=false'?). I hoped to flash the extracted .img files with it.
Flashing the extracted .img files (specially the vendor image, because I think I destroyed it somehow) via fastboot also fails with error "command not allowed". Replacing the eRecovery with TWRP is also not possible (not allowed).
Flashing to system, recovery_ramdisk, kernel etc. via fastboot is possible without any problems - which shows that bootloader and frp are both unlocked.
Info btw: in this few seconds in TWRP I could see that vendor partition cannot be mounted - which shows that it's likely an error on this partition.
Is there any way to flash any "other" (vendor) partition via fastboot? Or do you guys have any ideas to this what I can try - except for bringing this thing to service center for repair :silly:? And please ask, if something is not clear or I forgot to give any info.
Any help is very appreciated.

Okay, I brought it back to life again.
TWRP by Pretoriano80 and zxz0O0 for BKL (Honor view 10) (link) worked and let me flash firmware again. I used HuRU to flash B562 - and now it's booting again.
Soo... what can I do next to mess up my device :silly:
And note for me: HiSuite, eRecovery and 'update via dload' are all useless in case of a problem.

Usually dload did the job well for me. I don't know why it didn't in that case.
But I'm still looking for an easy way to upgrade the firmware base for future use (in case we get some) :laugh:
Next time just use HiSuite windows version with Firmware Finder's DNS trick to flash any stock ROM version what you need, only works with version 5.0.2.300. I've got the same issue and recoered by this method ease.
You can download it here.
