Unknown build number. HONOR 8 FRD-L04

Hello there.
Honor 8 frd-l04 USER HERE.
After FORCING the Nougat update with FIRMWARE FINDER, I was having problems when receiving calls, the phone would answer itself while it was in my pocket, even while having the TOUCH DISABLE MODE and no raise to wake, raise to ear, flip etc functions turned off.
So i decided to rollback to MM, so just followed the instructions given here...
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/index.html
Nevertheless, I couldn't do it. IT kept saying "software install failed" when installing the package, so I was stuck in the INTERMEDIATE PACKAGE ... FRD-L04C900B300
Later then I tried to install / flash the MM package... the one they give in honor support page, and it worked, but for some unknown reason it shows I have the FRD-C675B140 build numer... and in MODEL only says FRD.
Don't know what happened, it works fine but I can't flash any other versions now and says there are no updates while I expected it to show the Nougat update available OTA.
Anyone has any idea what might have happened or what can I do to return to stock FRD-L04 FIRMWARE?
THanks in advance.

I'm having this same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

Hey don't worry, just download mm firmware from official site then extract UPDATE. APP you'll see recovery and recovery2 files, flash those two files, keep UPADATE.APP file in dload folder and flash the . APP file using three button. That's it you're done :good:

all i know playing with firmware finder is risky., there are a lot of files there you miss flash one of them and its bummer., i am having some similar issue with secondary device P9-Lite VNS-L31 stuck on some B120 firmware on EMUI 4.1.3 MM, now installing a firmware shows software install failed error to me every time in the recovery

It told me the software wasn't compatible.

Ok, so the credit for this goes to technoguy09, but this finally fixed it for me.
HONOR 8 Bricked
Hello ,
It happened on my FRD-L04, but I think is the same.
Bootloader is unlocked ?
1. Do you have all drivers installed ? OK
2.Do you have STOCK ROM ? OK. If not, use Huawei Firmare Finder to find suitable ROM. Be aware what you choose !!!
3. Unzipp (WinRar) the ROM.
4.Download and install Huawei Update Extractor. Run Huawei Update Extractor . Choose Update.app from the folder you unzipped the ROM.
5. Select cust.img , boot.img , recovery.img and system.img and extract them on a folder.
6.. Install MultiTool by Team (Multi Tool Team). The instalation will make a folder named UNBRICK.
7. Move the files extracted : cust.img , boot.img , recovery.img and system.img on the folder UNBRICK
8. Run MultiTool . Choose option 6 (unbrick) and after that choose option 2 ( if you already have files on folder UNBRICK)
9. Let the tool finish the job.
NOTE : You must have all drivers installed and the phone in FASTBOOT mode ( turn phone OFF - Press VOL- and insert USB cable simultaneously.)
Good luck !

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..

Restore All phone + update problem

Hello, sorry bad english ^^.
1) I would like to delete the message "your phone is unlock" to sell my phone.
It is possible to delete TWRP and the unlock ? or just hide the message ? i need a clear factory phone.
2) update impossible !
- The "update" menu in setting disappear !
- HiCare say "Your phone is up to date" but i have the red badge (1) on icon Setting
- TWRP say error : 7 when i swipe the update xxxxB389 update.zip correctly
My phone is FRD-L09 C432B380
Thanks For Help :good:

First you have to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and "fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img" from extracted update.zip of current B380 firmware (huawei firmware extractor). You just replace custom recovery with stock one. Second read the process of dload method. Then download rollback package for your model and firmware B131 (Android M). You could find them somewhere on XDA or download them through Honor site/Firmware Finder. First dload rollback package, than the same for update.zip and then update_data_full_hw_eu.zip. After all 3 files are flashed you should be back to stock and ready to take standard OTA to latest firmware without any sign of unlocked bootloader.

i don't understand, i'm novice.
i don't have a windowsOS to launch firmwareExtractor exe , but i have the fastboot command in terminal.
i have found and download the rollback package : hihonor.com/fr/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92133

Someone could send you the right recovery.img and recovery2.img if he has downloaded FRD-L09C432B380 and has got Windows to extract that. And you need a B131 firmware to download (2 zips).
Do I understand that you have nonWindowsOS PC and you have access to adb and fastboot respectively (and via that you were able to unlock your device in the first place)?

mmm yes i have unlock my phone via ADB on OSX
i have found B131 . : hidrive.strato.com/lnk/Rdljlogo
that all i need ?

Yes, b131 is only one zip file with aproximately 1,75GB, rollback package is about 74,4MB (both comprised). I do attach recovery files from FRD-L09C432B381 and which I used to flash over TWRP before updating to newest firmware. It should work. Start with flashing recovery via fastboot, than dload rollback and last would be the firmware. Good luck! Give others feedback if it helped you.

Thank you.
he stays 3hour download so i recaps ^^:
1 ) Flashing with FastBoot recovery.img and after Recovery2.img
2) What can i do with RollBack ? i have dload folder with UPDATE.APP inside
3) Swipe Firmware b131 with TWRP ?
4) i have a clear phone with no unlock ? and i can update in setting app

1) Yes. Estabilish fastboot connection with your device, put the files in the folder of your "adb program" and use the commands above. Now, you will lost TWRP and will have stock recovery.
2) Yes. I have sent you a link to check dload process. You have to dload rollback via button combination with your SD card. It's all there.
3) No. After flashing rollback package via dload you have to do the same dload process for the B131 firmware. It's just the same. Very short recap is here.
4) Yes, back to stock, only with "old firmware".

Yeah thanks i will doing this soon

Yeahhit work ! thank you

Help with Mate 8 L29-C185-B580

Hello,
I tried to root my mate 8 nxt-L29c185b580

I tried to return to stock but not work I tried B580 and B321 but not work on dload mode also the eRcovery not work, after that I relocked the bootloader but the device now is stacked with the boot and eRecovery apper without work , also I can not open the bootloader because I cannot access the product id from the dialpad

to fastboot
reboot phone, and power + volume down hold
if not connect usb and try it again
then unlock bootloader
twrp
wipe partitions,
you can install throght twrp
for flashing you can try this manual:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l29c432b560-official-t3540042
if you want B321 i think, you need to downgrade EMUI 5 (with rollback)
or you can try flash B580
- you can try srk tools for unbrick

Ok

Thanks for your reply
But I can not open the bootloader again from huawei website because I only have imei and sn but not product id (the phone stacked on eRecovery)
Do you have any way to retrieve product id via fastboot?
Which firmware you prefer to flash ?
Thanks

I found this method can any one explain how to do that in details
Also I need stock firmwares c185b580 and c185b560 where can i found them?
The method is
Hard methods, Flashing with fastboot
Download Tools and driver :
ADB-Fasboot-tools.zip –>*Download Here
ADB-Fastboot-Driver –>*Download Here
Huawei Firmware Extractor tool .rar –>*Download Here
1. Downloader rom (UPDATE.APP) put in Huawei Rom Extractor folder.
2. After you puted “UPDATE.APP in folder you first run “split_updata” and it will create “output” folder with extracted files(It script will not work without ActivePerl installed on your computer.)
3. After “split_updata” finished you need to run “HuaweiFinder” script and it will compile “system.img” and “boot.img”, you need cut or copy “boot.img”(18mgb) and “system.img”(1gb img file) in fastboot folder.
4. Reboot your device into bootloader(holding Vol- and power button)
5. Now follow this guides ->*How To Unbrick / Update Firmware Any Android Devices Via Fastboot Mode

How many of you are havkng mate 8 getting volte in india

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.)

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
