hi, dear xda forumers!
this is my very first post, and i am not very good at tech things, so please bear with me (plus I may unwantingly commit grammatical mistakes because i am not a native speaker and it is 2AM here)
first my back story:
I had a Huawei Mate 8 (nxt-l29c....something) European version, I had it for about 6 or 7 months, then it was stolen. By that time it had automatically upgraded to Nougat and I really liked it, got used to it, could not live without it.... so i decided to buy the same phone again. It came with Marshmallow, and I tried to update it but the OTA had been for a limited time only I guess, I emailed around with official huawei customer service asked them maybe to update my device from their headquarters or something, but they could not help me, they said I should just wait and eventually it would update.
after 3 months still nothing I grew impatient and I really wanted to have my "old experience" back, so I tried a tutorial with updating via filmware finder, using one of the first updates that were about 2GB big. It was successful, so it seemed at first, because there were no errors or interruptions, but finally when I turned it on, I noticed that during the update process my phone has lost the built in keyboard (still has the google), no more bluetooth, alarm clock, date time settings, update option
I downloaded the official rollback to Android 6 from 7 but since I updated with an unofficial update, it failed to fix my phone. now I still have the issues listed above.
Now I ended up with
Model number: NXT-L29C900B500 (originally it was NXT-L29C432B180)
EMUI version: 5.0
Android version: 7.0
Edit:
Now trying to use a new filmware from the official huawei website with the dload method
Edit 2:
it did not do anything. I will try again when I wake up
I kindly ask anyone who has any idea how to fix this to reply.
Mate 8 nougat update as far as I know have 2 update zips, I've experienced that problem when trying to update to nougat, I used twrp to flash the update.zip, I had emui 5 after but Bluetooth didn't work and some settings were missing, after searching I found that there are 2 zips to an update, a update.zip and a hwupdate.zip, basically only one was installed for you, you need to install both
Hi everyone,
My father had a problem with his Honor 8. When the new update was released it bricked the phone. Using the DLOAD, we were able to fix this problem, however he was still experiencing regular unwanted reboots. He decided to try changing the firmware again using the rollback file (from android 7.0 to 6.0) on a phone that was already on Android 6.0... Now the phone reboots on his own to the blue honor log screen and doesn't get out of it. We are not able to shut it off, nor go to DLOAD or anything. The only thing I was able to achieve was going to the fastboot. Anything else won't work.
The phone is an Honor 8 bought on Aliexpress. It's a AL10 version but the buyer had the FRD-L19 firmware installed on it. With the DLOAD, the last firmware the phone was on, was an EMUI 4.1 Android 6.0 L19 firmware.
Anyone has any solution in order to install newly a firmware and unbrick the phone please ?

Hi Grilla99,
Thanks for your feedback. Was it still under warranty ? Did you pay anything ?
Thanks

Hey i think there is a problem with new update , mine too experience same in my case my device is FRD-L02 . After several times i left the phone to Honor CARE. they said it takes upto 10-15 days also said they will replace the motherboard.
So just give it to care before with lock bootloader , dont unlock the bootloader in this case otherwise it will costs a lot. have a good day.

True. My solution is only if out of warranty or warranty not provided!
Hi guys !
Thanks for all you answers. The phone is still under warranty so I contacted Alianz since I had a 1 year repair warranty possibilty and I sent the phone to them. I'm now waiting for them to tell me what's going to happen with the phone.
I'll keep you updated with what's going to happen and when we'll get the phone back
Thanks again !
Hi everyone,
I got the phone back from warranty and they solved the problem. I can't really tell what they did because the paper that came with it wasn't very detailed. But the phone is working perfectly anyway.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help solving this matter
Hi guys, i decided to write here because im a little bit desperate now...
Yesterday i updated my mate 9 who was in MHA-L09C432B198 firmware (not oreo) via firmware finder. I've checked the oreo update MHA-L09C185B360(8.0.0.360) and was approved for install ans also with my IMEI. All seemed good but when the phone updated and restarted, it remained stuck on eRecovery.
After following some tutorials there on the forum to use the FF to install again a new approved firmware ive decided to go by the cash path and i tried Funky Huawei. It never worked neither .
When I've tried to install a new firmware the phone said that couldn't so i wasted 5 credits downloading and failing every time.
Please guys, did someone passed through this situation and solved it? My phone bootloader is locked and never installed a twrp...
Thanks in advance,
I have a seemingly stupid but still annoying problem. As many of you know Android 8 + EMUI 8 came out this summer and I have updated my Honor8. Everything works well, even better (especially with regard to the battery) apart from a problem, quite annoying. I have seen that everyone around complains about the same problem, so it is clear that both a build bug and not a local problem.
Basically ... the bluetooth link with the multimedia system of my car doesn't work as it should, while it worked well with the 7.0.
Tracknames, music infos disappears, sometimes it connects regularly, starting the music, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the music passes from the car speakers to smartphone (!!)... in short, manage the music in the car It has become a big problem!
I tried all possible options; reset pairing, reset bluetooth, clear cache, activate the developer options to control some low-level aspects of bluetooth, and finally installed Bluetooth Auto Connect which also has several advanced options. Nothing works. In the meantime an update of 8.0 has been released (mine is the buiold 521). The update came out in September ... maybe (MAYBE) this update fixes all bluetooth issues (but i don't have any detailed info about). Until today I have not received any updates and normally I check new version regularly every day. At this point I decided to return to Nougat!
And here the adventure begins!
I CANNOT IN ANY WAY do the downgrade.
What I tried:
- through HiSuite. The "back to previous version" option appears random (rarely); normally the program tells me "the system is up to date". Once appeared I tried to run the procedure, but after the decompression it gives me an error "error updating".
- by standard Rollback procedure. Using a microSD and putting the full version of Nougate in the dload folder. The installation starts but stops almost immediately with the same "update cannot be applied" error.
At this point I am desperate. I cannot update Oreo, I can't go back to Nougat and meanwhile the bluetooth still doesn't work with my car. Remember that before Oreo, everything worked very well!
What can I do? Can you help me?
Thank you

Region: EU
Model: FRD-L09
Build: 8.0.0.521 (C432)
Previous Build: don't remember. It was Nougat, and I've upgraded around the first week of September. From that day I haven't received/applied any patch, because nothing appears until now.
This morning I've tried again with HiSuite. As usual it says I'm running the latest version and it doesn't offer any downgrade option .

The more you know...
Finally I've decide to try updating to 8.0.0.562. After a month of tries, fails (damn Huawei and his stupid update system), errors and a lot of other stupid things, I was finally able to update my Honor hoping the latest version will fix all the problems. It was a enormous waste of time (searching around internet)... but in the end I found a method described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/p20-pro-bricked-t3868085#4And if you go ahead you should find the correct firmware link (on a Russian site). Although, IMHO, failing with the classic method was due to the impossibility or some bugs in the update system, to unpack the update files on sdcard. So the solution seems to be to leave both the zip and the unpacked folder.The problems with bluetooth remain, but I hope that now there is not to be crazy applying next updates. ATTENTION: the method above is NOT valid for rollback! If you try, you'll brick your Honor.
And finally I've taken an important decision... for me this is the last Huawei/honor device. Next time I'll go to another brand, with a serious update system.

Hi All,
I am struggling to force update my Huawai mate 8.
Current running on version NXT-DL00 8.0.0.839(C17)
I am unable to use WIFI update as my WIFI has not worked for a long time to perform hard reset/recovery.
I do not have USB Debugging enabled and at present I am unable to enable this as my digitizer also does not want to work.
The EMUI gets to around 5% and then I receive the error
Software Install Failed
and refers me to the below link which is of no use.
https://consumer.huawei.com/cn/emui/?mod=restore
I have tried a number of firmware downloads and nothing gets any further.
The reason I am trying to update is to hopefully get my digitizer working again, I have already fitted a new one and this did not fix it so I do not believe it is a hardware issue.
Any suggestions at all would be appreciated.
This is a really good phone and I do not want to just chuck it in the bin, I have purchased a Mate 20 Lite as the replacement but would prefer to get my old one working again and use it as I miss it
Many thanks in advance for your support.
