[HELP?] Factory Reset on nougat now no keyboard

So, i got accepted to the nougat beta but i decided to hold off until later to install it. I finally decided to take the plunge and just to be sure i wiped my device and then installed it just to be sure that no problems arose.
After it installed i was greeted with the usual startup procedure but when it came to signing in there was no keyboard, only google voice typing which doesn't work for passwords. As a result i am now left with a phone with an unlocked bootloader and factory reset protection on without any way to get past setup (unless anyone knows a glitch/bug)
Any advice on the situation??

It happened the same to me!
I had to rollback to b131 and do the update again.

That is strange. I wonder if this is due to a software issue.

Isn't it easier to just download an APK for a keyboard (E. g. Google keyboard, Swiftkey) and install that via ADB or push it to the phone and install it?

I just installed a keyboard apk and it fixed that issue for me.

Similar issue
Just encountered a very similar problem, (sorry if I don't explain well enough, I'm a newbie with this stuff) with a uk L09 model.
I recently had to reinstall an app using adb due to compatibility issues preventing me from using it. due to a misunderstanding on my part, I believed I needed to install it to an external sd card, rather than the /sdcard/ directory, this came up with some errors that I'm still unsure of, specifically it claimed the sd card was read-only despite me still being able to conventionally copy a file onto it and then play it back, so I went about looking for how to make it writeable, all solutions to this pointed to rooting the phone, so I decided to try that, I got as far as unlocking the bootloader, and failed to flash, after much frustration, I re-read the original advice for the app and managed to install it successfully. because the original issue was resolved, I decided not to finish rooting as It turns out, I didn't need it.
The next day I went about trying to re-lock the bootloader, this worked, but when I hard reset it, it directs me through the login process, at which point, I cannot proceed because there is no keyboard available. I still have the default recovery, I can use fastboot but not regular adb, and I cannot get to settings. I tried unlocking again through fastboot, but it returned command not allowed, reading other guides, it seems my only option involves the rollback, but I don't currently have a microsd adapter to put files directly onto it without using the phone, I've ordered one, but I'm unsure if it will allow me to considering even fastboot continue returned (Remote: Command not allowed). so far I've had no luck in flashing anything, so I'm incredibly nervous that my phone's effectively bricked.
Thank you for reading

If you have relocked bootloader can't fastboot and adb. Try download this zip. Make dload folder in root of your internal storage. Unzip files and pu to dload. Turn phone off and turn on with holding vol+/vol-/on,off buttons, this can may help

I can't access my phone's internal storage because it defaults to charge only, and does not allow me to change the access to enable file transfer because I cannot get past the login due to the lack of keyboard.

Rommco05 said:
So, anyway you will need sdcard
edit: u can't skip all settings?

No, it requires a google account which was previously synced, which I can't input, sadly. microsd reader has been ordered, will have to wait a little while though.

Problem downgrading from Nougat

Hello everybody, i'm having serious trouble trying to downgrade my honor 8 frd l09 to Marshmallow.
The sequence was like this:
I was trying to update to Nougat using several methods and the only one that worked was via de charles method, after using several responses one of them made it update to nougat to the NRD90M test-keys (it originally was FRD-L09C432B131) I though everything was OK until I realized that several apps where not working/missing (every finger id function besides unlocking, the updater app, etc.). The phone worked fine which made me realize one day that not every app was installed or working.
This made me decide to rollback to Marshmallow using this guide/files community .hihonor. com/thread/1700. It failed after the first step and started showing "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly".
So I tried to restore factory settings thinking it would at least install all the apps. This process stopped at 50% and now I'm stuck. I can barely use the phone now because it has very few apps, it doesn't even have the keyboard I can only use the voice command. (still this version NRD90M test-keys)
This is my situation now, can anybody tell me where did I mess up and how can I fix it?
Thanks.

I made the downgrade like 3 times and i had no problems, could you tell me what rollback package you used ?
I will write here what i've done, maybe you can find what you've did wrong.
1. Format SD Card
2. Copied update.app from that little rolback package in the dload folder on SD Card.
3. Flashed it. (Turned off the phone then holding Volume Up+Volume Down+Power Button to get into force update)
4. The phones restarted so i delete the update.app from the dload card an i put there the other update.app (From the B131 android zip)
5. Flashed it. (Turned off the phone then holding Volume Up+Volume Down+Power Button to get into force update)

Thanks for your asnwer.
I used this package from the honor website.
FRD-L09
1) FRD-L09 Rollback Package -
2) FRD-L09C432B131 Android M Firmware
I tried to flash the first one and it was when i started having trouble.

Are you flashing using the Vol up + vol down + power combination?
Do you have the file update.app on a dload folder on an external sd card?

Also make sure to use the key combo without the cable plugged to the phone. You can't go wrong, my phone was pretty much a brick and this method worked on it.

I guess your phone cannot boot, you need sdcard then
Download rollback package of your device ( i guess this one) http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92130&version=360508&siteCode=de-h than download full firmware for your device( not ota update).it doesn't matter which version as long as its written full.
Refer this http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L09C432
Create dload folder inside sdcard, extract uppdate.app into dload folder.
Enter recovery by pressing all 3 buttons.
It will show you user reset.
Force shutdown the phone as your phone cannot boot because lacks of apps.
Replaced update.app from dload folder (sdcard) with update.app from your full firmware by extacting it.
Enter recovery again
That should do it.

I made what both said and had success this time. (which were the same I did the first time, don't know how I messed up yet..)
I still want to upgrade to Nougat, what is the best way? Eventually, will I receive the OTA ?
Thanks for your help

If you had the OTA notification before, you will have it again. Just boot normally, connect to the internet, open HiCare > services > early adopters.
The OTA update notification should pop up.
After updating to Nougat I suggest a factory reset.

I updated with charles 3 times and I had the same problem as you once. If the OTA package size shows around 2.38gb it will work fine. The one time I had the same issue, the OTA showed to be 1.38gb and after the update I had apps missing/non functional. See what you get this time and if it happens to be the full package.
Make sure you use a correct charles response from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/various-responses-charles-app-b360-t3541342

For me the following procedure was working marvellous:
Initial position: Android 7.0 having opened bootloader, bad working Root, bad working TWRP recovery, SuperSU and Busybox installed
intention (finish): the newest Nougat-FW with closed bootloader and no root-rights
1) First I deleted SuperSU and Busybox and flashed the extracted original honor-recovery from Marshmallow rom in adb
2) I flashed original rollback-package from Nougat to MM which I have downloaded from hihonor link. I put it in dload-folder in external sdcard, switched off phone and hold all 3 hardware.keys untill flashing was forced.
3) after this my Honor booted and I changed the rollback-package file to original Marshmallow-FW (from hihonor link) in dload-folder.
4) I flashed original honor Firmware Marshmallow the same way as it is told in point 2
5) The Honor 8 reboots and at this point I had absolutely clean Marshmallow without root and having the bootloader closed.
6) After about 30 Minutes and 2 or 3 reboots, hicare-app wanted me to upgrade to Nougat. I did.
- thats all. It took much time but it worked reliable on my Honor 8/European version (FRD-L09)

Thanks for all the replies. I'm now on frd -L09C432B131. I will try later to upgrade again with the charles method. I remember as you said that the previous update was 1.38gb, I will take that into consideration.
Thanks

Does Honor/Huawei officially post these update files? I didn't know there was 2 separate update.app files. I'm currently looking for them for my FRD-L04. I want to go back to Marshmallow. Having a hell of a time trying to get BT and NFC to work.

BT and NFC files are located in data_full_usa.zip(l04),
If you're going to root and twrp, its better save that file after you wipe data to f2fs format in twrp, than flash those data.zip file....BUT remember, we're already converted the storage to f2fs in nougat to access data storage and that will be pain in a** if you forgot to convert back ext4 format for rollback.
Just remember to convert back to EXT4 in twrp before rollback in MM, otherwise you'll loose everything, no recoveries and bootlooping. Fastboot stated as abnormal thou.
Edit: the wierd thing is, if we looked at data backup in twrp MM, it is f2fs format..

Where does this mysterious data_full_usa.zip file come from? I don't see it anywhere in this thread or on XDA? sorry! I believe I found it here: http://modfullandroid.blogspot.com/2016/12/how-to-update-huawei-honor-8-model-frd.html but just want to confirm since it's a strange site I've not been to. Honor's official page doesn't have this file, or "region patch".
Also, it's funny you mentioned that. I COMPLETELY forgot about reformatting the data partition. What I did to downgrade was flash the small UPDATE.APP from the official honor website, then flash the large UPDATE.APP. It seemed to bring everything back up on MM OK for me. Just sucks, because now I miss Nougat after having to go back to emui 4.

New firmware B389 for FRD-L09

In Firmware Finder is new ROM with build number 389. Unfortunately, no flashable

Hopefully that means that they will release an update soon

Please stop creating new threads for every non flashable update.

I noticed it too...hope they'll make some of it flashable someday... a lot of updates and i'm stuck on B380 lol.
P.s i know that B381 is avaible and flashable but i don't know how to do it. First time with Huawei/Honor device xD

And if you're running TWRP 3.1 just flash the zips from there. First the update.zip, then the hw_eu one, and then flash supersu for root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258
That's how i upgraded from B380 and it works perfectly.

This method don't require twrp or root, this is the same process of the original ota upgrade application, but in manual mode.

Disregard this comment, posted to wrong thread.

hi
Can someone explain me, why is there this kind of update published, non flashable one? internal testing purpose?
Is there a way to update my phone to b389, b388 or other, more than b381, with or without root, even if I have to factory reset my phone, reinstall stock recovery?

You just have to try reading. This topic here and more ...

Hi guys, i've update correctly with twrp to B381 (forgot to flash supersu so...no root. Lol) but i have a problem. On B360 in "Smart assistence" I had the function "Smart Key" to choose ehat to do when the fingerprint key was pressed. Now, after this update i have no more this function. It doesn't show up, even if i try to search it. It has been disabled or should i try to factory reset?

Locking bootloader removes root? Also more Questions. [Phone Gone Now]

I'm gifting my father in law an Honor 6X. I already unlocked the bootloader and rooted, but I'd like for him to be able to install updates when they're released. If I uninstall all the bloatware while rooted and then relock the bootloader, will root be retained? Will TWRP be removed? Will OTA updates be allowed? This is all on the stock ROM.

I believe you should be able to receive updates with the bootloader unlocked. The OTA might relock the bootloader and will most likely remove root. In order to update you will need to also have stock recovery installed so there would be no way for him to root again without unlocking the bootloader and flashing twrp.

Ok. He's clueless when it comes to even using stock phones, so I'll probably completely return the phone to stock and call it a day. Is there a thread floating around here to do relock, unroot, and completely return to stock?

Its also if you flashed twrp not only custom roms. You can uninstall root in the superSU app when selecting full unroot in the settings. I believe a factory reset can do it too. The next step would be to download the firmware for the phone and using fastboot to flash a boot and recovery image and then to lock the bootloader. Those steps are all in the link. That is the quickest way.

There's a PC application called firmware finder. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
You can download firmware finder on your phone too and download the files from there. It's on the play store.

Ok, downloaded the Firmware finder and I have no idea how to use it. Directions don't make any sense and I have no idea what I'm doing after entering in my phone model.
I'm trying, but this phone is so different from my old LG G2 to play around with.

When you get into the Firmware Finder(PC) app youll notice your on a tab labeled "Main Page". Click on the tab labeled "common base" and type BLN-L24 into the search bar at the top right and then click on FIND. A list of firmware will pop up. Find the one that matches your build number and then click on the link under the "filelist" section. There will be two or three different zips you need to download. When you have the three downloaded let me know.

Ok, I've downloaded all 3 zip files from my build at over 2gigs.

Ok now extract the files from the update.zip folder. Then take the UPDATE.app from the extracted files and open it with update extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
After that your ready to follow the steps on the other guide.

So I screwed up. Before you posted I unrooted via unSU flashable zip. Then I fastboot flashed boot and recovery to the stock one from the update.app file. Now it's got some verification error on power on and OTA updates fail. I tried moving the update.app to a dload folder on sdcard, but when it starts up it fails at 5% when restoring from the sdcard.
ETA: Tried the 360 FW which updated successfully. Booted and asked for password. After panicking shutdown and copied the HW contents to Sdcard and did the update again which succeeded. Booted and asked for password again and I panicked again. Pulled the Sdcard and booted into stock recovery. Wiped everything and then restarted crossing fingers. Started up like normal, no password request! So it looks like the phone is back on totally stock EMUI 5.0. I'll hope for the update and will try with fingers and toes crossed. Thanks for your help. I may be back, but hopefully not.
ETA2: There's no update option above the last About option in settings... How do I get the update option?

Edit: Before trying below steps. Just put the files from "BLN-L24_hw_usa"(b360) into dload folder and flash with dload. It might update the version.img without the needs for the steps below. if that brings the build number back to b360 use the hisui(PC) application to connect to the phone and update
Ok i forgot to mention something. The reason you dont have a update option is because you are on b360 which never had a button. Your build number on your phone will say b366 but thats incorrect. You cant receive an ota automatically because the phone thinks its already on the latest version. You need to take the UPDATE.APP from the "BLN-L24_hw_usa" (b360) folder and extract the VERSION.IMG file. It needs to be flashed with TWRP because fastboot wont work for some reason. That file will fix the build number and change it back to b360 so you can receive the OTA which will also restore the missing apps and features. That means you have to unlock the bootloader. Flash twrp. Flash the vendor.img with twrp and then do the dload method.
You have all the files and have done it already so this time will be easier. Ive done this way too many times with this phone. Sorry i forgot the mention the one step

Build number on my phone is already 360, and it has never been 366. Tried flashing the 360 like you said via dload and nothing seems to have changed.
Also the SIMtray eject tool seems to just go into the phone without ejecting the tray. A paperclip worked, but man this phone is really frustrating.

Oh ok my build number always got stuck at b366. Try connecting with the HiSuite program and getting an OTA. And yes this is the strangest, most difficult phone to work with that ive ever owned.

Wife made me box it up and ship to her dad, so I no longer have the phone. I did install the HiSuite when I first powered on the phone and it was never able to connect and see the phone, so who knows what's going on.
Thanks for all your help. I have another one, but I'm just going to sell it and be done with it. No idea what other phone I can get with the same specs for the same price that's not so difficult to flash, but I'll keep looking I guess.

Its not difficult. In order to connect to hisuite you need to enable developer settings and allow usb debugging or type hisuite in the settings search bar and click "allow HiSuite to use HDB". I got this phone for christmas and i already know a ton about it. It may seem complicated now but its really nothing.

Which region or country does it belongs to ?

I'm one of the winners of the xda contest.
It doesn't belong to any region. It is a global version but I can't find any firmware.
It is possible to change firmware region to C432 (Europe)?

Anyone got it already? Have they added checkbox for the automatic brightness in the QS?

My ühone informed me about this update on its own.
How do I install it if I have TWRP as custom recovery installed?
I tried the button for the installation but it didn't work.

I'll try it, but first a backup is needed.
My current build is COL-L29 8.1.0.104 (C432)
Addition:
Copied HuRUpdater 0.3 and the mentioned files onto the phone, renamed the files to match the naming scheme in den appropriate thread and the update worked like a charm.

Yes.
Playstore ->setting ->device certification.
If its uncertified you will be having issues in using banking apps.

My device is not certified.
Probably because I forgot to install Magisk.
Gonna try that later.

Can you post the procedure you followed to update your device?
Two other users who tried it on Honor 10 Hard bricked their devices.

Sure.
But first, let me tell you that I managed to get the device certified again in play store.
What I did:
0. I made a backup of my device
1. Download the three fw files from the first post to my honor 10 device.
2. Download HuRUpdater 0.3 from the post you mentioned: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
3. Followed the instructions from the HuRUpdater thread to install the update (renaming files and installing as mentioned there)
After the update I directly made a restart and had lost my google play certification. But I realized that I had forgotten to install magisk for root.
Therefore I downloaded the appropriate magisk zip file for my device, restarted into recovery and installed magisk.
Than I restarted again, deleted the cache and other data of the google play app, restarted again into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik.
After I made this last restart my device is now certified again.
Next time I think it is easier to:
- install the update,
- install magisk
- wipe cache and dalvik
And than the device should be updated and certified in one step.
And btw I have the auto-brightness checkbox available
