Hi all,
I bought a H60-L12, but the manufacturer had installed the H60-L02 rom (version H60-L02V100R001CHNC00B611).
How can I install the H60-L12 version?
I've already tried to install these 5 ROMS:
H60-L12_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B307
H60-L12_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B611
H60-L12-4-4-V100R001CHNC00B118-unicom-32g
H60-L12-4-4-V100R001CHNC00B119-High-unicom
H60-L12-V100R001CHNC00B121
But I always get the error "Software Install Failed!" with the volume + & - & power method.
Also tried with the *#*#2846579#*#* and didn't worked as well.
Tried to install different stock versions and nothing.
What should I do more?
Regards,
Luis
Check INDEX
"For L12 Users ONLY" Sections you might need to restore correct version stock local.prop and build.prop

Hi, yes I did. I wrote the way here (in german)
http://www.iphone24.org/blog/howtos...ielle-firmware-zurueck-flashen-full-restore-1
An thermalboyz included it into his collection here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/huawei-honor-6-index-t2963209
Scroll down to: 3 Button Restore not working (If you change between variant example L02>L12) Or Partition been changes and cannot restore back Stock version. Use this steps below : -
From huawei club forum, which posted by Chinese, they provided a "middle package" for H60-L02/L12, L01/L03/L11/L21:
Link for refer: http://club.huawei.com/thread-4744481-1-1.html
中转包地址如下：
荣耀6移动版（H60-L01/L03/L11/L21）
荣耀6联通版（H60-L02/L12）
We have to download it, then do upgrade it first before upgrade ROM version.
P/S: If you cannot extract it, may need rename it from chinese name to latin letter.
If need assist in Chinese word, let me know.
Hope this help.

Hi all, I'm new of the forum, and this seems to be exactly the same issue I'm having.
I had to buy a replacement for my H60-L12 and I decided to buy a new one, so I went to the same store and I ordered the same phone.
When it arrived, the label indicate H60-L12, bon on the box and on the back of the phone. But when I switched on, the model name and the serial number indicated the H60-L02.
What is really strange is that, according to what I have been seeing on technical specification on internet, the L02 should have 16GB di memory, while this one has 32GB.
Do you have any idea if it is possible to verify from the IMEI what is the real model of the phone and if it is possible that a L02 firmware version was installed on a L12? I have the B316, I have tried to dowload the B316 for the L12 and put it on the dload folder, then local update, but it fails (probabily because it is the same version?).
I have download the H60-L02/L12 file indicated in the previous post, but it is very small. Is it ok?
After I have installed it using the local update procedure, what should I do?
Thanks!
I will share my experience with this issue.
As it turned out, my L12 was flashed with the wrong firmware and seens as a L02.
No way to restore the correct version with any more or less standard procedure (not even copying the built and prop files from the L12, the upgrad was always failing).
So, for future reference, what I did was:
- use the unbrick function to load a EMUI2.3 version of the firmware (at this point the phone was almost unusable because everything was crashing)
- copied the L12 B316 on the SD in dload directory
- installed using the three button procedure
The upgrade was correctly executed and now everything is working fine.
In case someone was wondering why I didn't use the unbrick function to load the L12 B316, the answer is: I did it, but it was not working. As I said, it seems that the unbrick function leaves a lot of the previous installation behind, and despite the load of the B313 (yes, I tried the 313 to be able to update then to 316 with the complete update package and have a clean installation), the update package was downloaded but not installed, always giving error. Same with the three button procedure.
So, the only way I found has been to revert to 2.3 and then apply the update.
Now I would like to know who flashed the L02 on my L12 and made me loose four days
To get to Andorid 7, I used Firmware finder method as send to updated and flashed "BLN-L21C432B342" Firmware finder send to update method.
Most of the updated using from: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=bln but it does not have second update package which is needed to flash to get the updater app and others.
Guide to get back to BLN-L21C185
DIAL: *#*#2846579#*#*
GO TO : 2.Veneer Information >
1.Version info >>Manufacture Information is your actual model: (my is: BERLIN_L21 i.e.: BLN-L21)
Scroll to end there will be current version, this is the version you need to use to roll back.
My was Bln-l24
1. So i downloaded the BLN-L24 USA Roll back package.
2. And downloaded the BLN-L24 Latest Andorid 6 update. (BLN-L24C567B110)
both FROM: http://www.huawei.com/usmobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm
Above are flashed using Sd card dload method and they worked. 1st flash roll back package and let the phone start to normal than again flash the android 6 package "BLN-L24C567B110".
Now you are back to BLN-L24 but setting is showing BLN-L110.
Anyways now you have updater app back so use the same method to get back to BLN-L21C185B131 (android mm).
I did not roll back and instead flashed BLN-L21C185B342 as it is available now, using firmware finder send to update: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 and bingo back to C185 andorid 7 with updater app.
FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE IN THE END.
My phone was on BLN-L21C185B131. I installed firmware finder on my PC and downloaded BLN-L21C185B342 from there. From update.zip extracted update.app and installed using dload method. At the end of the update the message was something like "update failed". Now "System update" is missing in settings, factory reset is not working properly (it resets the phone but there is a message during the reset that Factory reset failed) and the build number is "NRD90M test-keys".
Please advice how I can fix it. Tnx

You should have used the method sent to updater.. anyways you have to flash the second half part of it.. "
update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip"
I am uploading the second part which you should be able to flash using dload to get the complete update with updater working.
Will share the link soon.
How is it

What about themes app is it work and are there a rollback package if you didn't like it
First of all thanks for this wonderful post, you did a great job.
Don't mind it but you have made a great post, without a great title/name, so i suggest you to modify the title of the post, these kind of posts are very helpful for people like me and others but most of the people out there use google to search help they don't know the XDA, so if you modify and give a better title to your thread it will be easily found by searchers.
Lastly what is the main difference of numbers after BLN-L21 i.e. mine is L21C185 on the about phone but the hidden info *#*#2846579#*#* and Veneer Information and version information says at Manufacturer Information BERLIN_L21_VN1 AP Version is L21C900B131_SYSTEM while the Parameter Version says C185, NOW what is my devices real name and which firmware should i be downloading for my device if i want to roll back to 6.0.1?

Hi, i understand if information is not easy to find it of little value suggest me a name and i will change it.
If you are on android 7 you need to first download the roll back package of the "version component version" showing in veneer info and flash it, then flash the same version android 6 latest package. Then use the firmware finder send to update method to get back to your real version either andoid 6 or android 7 as your prefer.
I have seen c185 is used used for middle east market.
"Manufacturer version" is your real device variant. (your need to download this to roll back with the roll back package if your are on android 7)
"version component version" is your current installed firmware Version.
Ideally they should be same but if firmware finder is used to install different variant firmware, to get to a newer android version or for some other reason than these both miss match.

Well, I am sorry but you again jumbled a lot of things just in some lines which didn't help me.
For your thread i would suggest the name "Honor 6x L21 downgrading/going back to B130 or B131 or B120" whatever file version you used to go back to 6.0.1.
As i have said before, i am have an Honor 6x BLN-L21C185 which is now on B131 stage of update but i want to upgrade to B342, while Phonenix1024 on this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71578919&postcount=134 thread suggested me to role back to B130 and then update to B342 via Firmware finder. What is your suggestion and what is your experience BTW.
I am sorry again if i was a little out spoken!

@Tangra , It has been suggested by some guys on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71578919&postcount=134 , that we should go back to B130 and do not update to B131 but install firmware finder and directly upgrade to B342. So it was your bad luck that you are facing this but as Omair said you can flash his file or just download the B130 for your device model and follow the dload instructions to give a new life to your device. God bless you.

Well your question is more correct now.. So here is the simple answer.
No need to go back to 130 ...I also upgraded from 131. See my first post and update using firmware finder but using the method send to updater see the setting of firmware finder as you will need to do some proxy setting.
For the second file question as I explained in a reply to another member its a second part flash file to upgrade to android 7. Only if you upgraded using dload method.
The file is for bln-l21c185.

@talvigi its a second part flash file you need to flash in order to get full functionality on android 7. This file is only needed if android 7 update is made using dload. This will also give your correct version in about and updater app. If update is made using firmware finder sent to updater method than this file is automatically downloaded and flashed in updating process. I got this file from the updater folder.

Oh, no yaar, @Omair.anwar I have already formated my device this morning, because it was download the full update file send by firmware finder to my updater.
But i am still on B131, so according to you i should directly upgrade to B342 and i shouldn't go back to B130. BUT you said you had problems in B342 like no update options etc, may be this was just because you upgraded from B131?
@Omair.anwar if you live near by me in Pak please answer me that in the firmware finder should i choose the FullOTA-MF-PV size 2.352GB? my number is zero three two double zero two six one double six zero. Thanks

I am not sure.. it should work fine if you Will use firmware finder with "installation via system update" and "view OTA updates" in setting.
If you want make sure, then after updater had downloaded 100% go to internal storage there will be a folder named something like OUC and see in its sub folders there should be two files one named update.zip and another named like "update data full".
I had the problem because I flashed different version firmware.

Thank you for the link. I unzipped "update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" and dropped the content in dload folder on SD card. Flashed from Engineering mode menu and everything on the phone works correctly now.
I was trying to locate this file "update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" by myself with no success. i'm curious how did you find it and is there a link for this file somewhere on hicloud servers. I see that for EU version off the phone this file is available for direct download from there.
Anyways, you did amazing job and your post will help many people I guess. Thank you!
P.S. I noticed after I posted my remarks that you've got "update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" from your Updater App folder - great job and hopefully somebody will find the link for direct download from hicloud servers

Hi if you flashed Bln-l24 roll back and it worked than you can still flash bln-l24 android 6 package and after that use the firmware finder with correct settings to get back to bln-l21.
See pic attached for settings and read my very first post too.
I hope I understood your concern well.

Factory reset stops at around 22% with an exclamation mark
Pretty nifty for a 5 minute "Official" update.
What am i supposed to do with this lump of hardware?
I have my bootloader code, i have srk tool. I was originally on b190 buildnumber, then went to b200...and now this. Can someone please suggest which build number i need so i can then find the right instructions for the downgrade or whatever it's called.
U need Rollback package

if you have Huawei Mate 8 L29 model & if you are on Android Nougat then you need rollback package
Here is the link
http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/mobile-phones/support/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
This is straight from Huawei and it is really a life saver. Only this file will work in dload method for you at this moment especially when you have NRD test keys or want to downgrade form nougat to marshmallow.
Download the file
Extract the update.app
Make a folder in your external SDcard and name it as dload
Place the update.app in that dload folder.
You can dload method 2 ways.
method 1
switch off your phone
press and hold volume up, volume down and power button all together
Once you see EMUI on your screen release your fingers from the phone.
method 2
open your dialer
type *#*#2846579#*#*
select - software upgrade - > SD card upgrade
that's it.
Once you are done. You will be on C900BXX build number. Then you need to dload another firmware. And which firmware you need to flash is based on your phone region and model. Is your phone previous firmware L29C185BXX ? if yes then you have to flash L29C185B180 or B192 according to your model. This is really important. Please share your complete build number.
Once you succeed in these steps then we can discuss how to move forward and what to flash next.
Hope you find this information useful and hope you succeed.

The region is Australia
Build number before this superb update was nxtl29c18b200
Now build number is NRD90 test-keys
Not that im being picky or selfish perhaps but is there a stable firmware which has low power consumption, themes work, better operation performance?
By the way, both of the above mentioned methods don't work. I got an exlamation mark and a message saying update doesn't exist after only 5% of updating

So you have NXT-L29C185B200 is that correct? you can check this in settings - > about -> build number
you are not in nougat so please do NOT use the file in my previous post. (that should be used only if you are in nougat)
At the moment you are in marshmallow EMUI 4.0
If you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed then flash L29C185B180 (stock firmware)
Link to that firmware - > http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51422/f1/full/update.zip
For unlocking, installing TWRP you can use SRK tools. I hope you have SRK tools, if not you can get it from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-t3369797
and from this thread you can find how to use SRK tools to unlock and install TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/vdo-guide-how-to-srk-tool-huawei-unlock-t3409707

Link to the thread where you can find all Stock firmwares is here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate-8-stock-firmware-official-t3391727
For flashing the firmware
1) Factory reset
2) Format DATA
3) Flash the zip file from the above link.
Android Nougat is Android 7.0 version. and the corresponding firmware's start with L29C185B5XX
First let us get rid of that NRD test keys then you can your phone can be updated to latest firmware easily. I will explain you in detail once you succeed in this step. Don't worry about errors.
Hope you succeed.

I am sorry I should have been more specific. I meant before NRD test keys, your build number was NXT-L29C185B200 ? (C185 is region specific) C432 is for Europe.
And now you have EMUI 5.0? then you can use the rollback package.
Here is the link
http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/mobile...g.htm?id=91647
I thought you were in marshmallow so I suggested you not to use it. But if you are in Android 7.0 (Nougat) then you can use the rollback package.
This rollback package will downgrade your phone back to Marshmallow and then build number might say C900BXX. It should get rid of that NRD test keys.
And after that you have to flash the stock firmware using dload method
Link to that firmware - > [url]http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...ull/update.zip[/url]
Correct link - > http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v52952/f1/full/update.zip

Bro, you can download the firmware using firmware finder..you can install it from play store..then choose your model and region. hope this will help you.
Edit: Sorry i just checked your latest firmware is what you're using right now..sorry bro..i think you can debranding the phone then flash new nougat firmware..you can choose either europe, asia or middle east for the region. there are tons of thread to do this..
i do a rollback but build number get c900 instead of c605 of my region. original insrtuction PDF speak about a file called SDupdate_Package.tar.gz someone know about this? Im using a nxt-l09c605
I have read about this problem on another thread but the problem was poorly explained and i couldn't follow to the processes explained on the replies, so i have created another new thread regarding this problem, because, in addition to being very useful for me, it might be even more useful for people that are searching for a solution.
I will explain briefly the scenario before talking about the problem itself.
I recently (1d ago) got my telephone blocked because of a Hard Brick that i managed to overcome using
DC Phoenix, from which i installed Emui 4.1 and then automatically updated via the built-in updater to Emui 5.0
As before my hard brick i was on a more recent build, Emui 5.1 (B394), i searched on the internet and understood that my current Firmware, "NRD90M test-keys" is a test build (or something like that) which can't be updated with the built-in updater.
So, i want to ask, in order to avoid getting bricked again, if there is a way i can update to the latest Emui available for my device, as in the current state the build, in addition to being obsolete, is also unstable and reports some compatibility errors, E.G. error retrieving microphone service when sending audio messages on WhatsApp, ecc.
i have heard of a method consisting of rolling-back the device to 4.1 again and installing 5.1 via Dload, but can you tell me how to do it more in detail?
EDIT:
Problem solved by rolling back to 4.1 b131 and then updated from internal updater app
Thanks in advance,
Federico

This Should Help You.

I assume since you rolled back you have a locked bootloader atm.
Now i know these guides are somewhere but now that you mention it they do seem somewhat hard to find. ( on the app anyways)
But as for rolling back and then updating again via dload ( not TWRP) you need the rollback package and official firmware for your phone model.
Google and/or the guides section here should help you find those.
It should give you two zips containing an UPDATE.APP file each.
You need to put these on a folder named dload (one file at a time)on your sdcard( internal storage should do, too but no guarantees).
Create the folder if it doesn't exist.
Put in the rollback update.app in first.
Then power down and hold vol up+ vol down while powering up and it should flash the file.
Let it finish, boot up, put in the update.app from the firmware in the dload folder ( remove the old file) and repeat the process.
That should be it.
Also, you might be able to sinply dload the actual firmware from the test key build without rolling back but i haven't tried ( i think )
Should the dload process fail, you most likely have the wrong file in your dload folder, or multiple files.
I should mention that the rollback file actually brings you to a test.keys build. It's necessary to flash to full firmware afterwards and dloading the rollback file has always worked for me.
Personally i found that keeping the rollback update.app file for the rollback in the dload folder at all times is a good security measure. (besides the usual backups)

can you tell me what rollback package to use? i tried "(FRD-L19&L09, from Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1, C900B300, Western Europe)" and didn't work
If you have an L09/19 it should work. Just make sure to flash the rollback package first.
Otherwise since you are on a test key build already, you might want to try to dload MM directly or if that doesn't work, try a stock nougat firmware via dload.
You could also try updating with Firmware Finder via proxy

I am in a very similar situation and unable to solve this. Could some one help in this?
I had unlocked bootload, TWRP and Root. I decided to unroot and lock the bootloader. So, by following the steps mentioned in a different thread, I could successfully flash Marshmallow B130 through Force Update.
Steps followed:
1. Flash Rollback package
2. Flash Full OTA (Marshmallow on B130) from Huawei website which flashed
Now, the real problem started while trying to upgrade to Nougat.
I tried downloading B350 firmware from Firmware Finder. After slow download, it installs fine. But, after reboot I face below problems.
1. The OS is very sluggish and crashes so often
2. The build number says NRD***-test keys
3. No keyboard installed, so not able to login to Google as well.
4. At this point, Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, rollback everything fails.
I had to unlock the bootloader and again force update Rollback Package and then to Marshmallow B130.
Now, I am stuck with B130. I tried downloading B340 and B361 thru Firmware Finder. Both of them installed but with the same result. I mean No keyboard, Test-keys build, Crashes
My Honor 8 model: FRD-L02
What should I do upgrade to Nougat? I have no confidence in Firmware Finder method. Any help appreciated
It's EMUI 5.0.1 not 5.1, I think.
Hi all,
I have the AL10 dual sim version and have managed to rebrand it to L09. I've tried a few times to get custom roms working but they all seem to have the same issue which is that the sim card cannot be detected (I'm using a 4g Australian sim). I'm now back on stock EMUI 5 version b300 but have found there is no smart key feature, so I'm trying to update to a more recent version of EMUI. I've tried the method of using the dload folder then holding power and volume up and down and it tries to update but always fails and says to go to Huawei's website.. If I check for updates in settings or in hiSuite it says there are none. Does anyone know how I can get it to work?
Thanks,
Josh
Try using the Update Through DNS thing is Firmware Finder. Otherwise rollback to Marshmallow and update again, which should work.
I had the same problem. So i made the roll back to Marashmallow, then update to the latest Nougat Firmware trough OTA. That worked for me. For everything you can use the related guide here on XDA
