downgrade from B317 to B137

Hi how to downgrade from B317 to B137? I need to reinstall B317 so have to downgrade first. I tried the transition pack B300 but saying failed. Is this transition pack only for B308? Any help?

317>300>137>308>317.
i guess it's failing due to root? What i've done:
stock recovery > 300 > 137

Not root, just normal update with sd card. I tried vol up vol down power force update as well, still saying failed.

ok here is the trick: (i got the same issue)
- put dload on your external sd-card.
- plug the sd-card-holder out of the phone
- do the 3-Buttons
- immediatly after the Huawei-logo disappears, plug the sd-card-holder into the phone.
It's really weired, but many users fixing the downgrade that way

I did a factory reset, it said "user reset failed!". Now stuck at huawei logo, system cannot boot. Help, please!
update: use vol up + power, then "wipe data/factory reset", now can boot. But still cannot roll back B317->B300, failed at 95%.

1. create "dload" folder on sd-card, copy update.app (B300) into "dload"
2. run local updater or 3 button force update
I tried your trick as well, all attempts failed at 95%.

Do this:
- download B300 (maybe yours faulty) and fastboot.zip (including 5.1.1. recovery.img + boot.img package
- Now flash via fastboot the boot.img and also the recovery.img
- put the B300 "UPDATE.APP" into the "dload"-folder on your external sd-card
- plug out the sd-card
- vol up and down + power
- plug in the sd-card quickly after the huawei logo disappears
- ???
- profit!

Thanks. I am just reading old thread regarding the failure, before I attempt to do your suggestion, do I need to unlock the bootloader first?

yes, otherwise flashing via fastboot won't work. But you can first try the B300 i've mentioned without flashing boot.img and recovery.img.

Thanks. Do you have a link for the driver utilities for unlocking the bootloader?
I am trying to follow http://mate7.net/ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock/ but the link for the driver utilities are expired.

sorry i can not fing a valid mirror for the drivers ;(

I got the driver installed from HiSuite (Huawei phone management software) and successfully unlocked the bootloader.
Now I probably ready to try your suggestion. Just want to check with you if I got the command right:
---
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
---
I am quite new to root and flashing CWM recovery. Could you please explain what is "boot.img" and "recovery.img" so I know exactly what I am doing? Are they stock recovery?
My initial guess of the problem is my stock recovery may be damaged due to the factory reset on B317. Please correct me if I am wrong.

that's the correct syntax!

I fastboot flashed the boot and recovery image, but the phone is keep rebooting every minute! And still same problem b300 cust fail at 95%.
After reading a number of thread related to cust fail for B300 transition pack, I decided to ignore B300 and go to B137 straight away. B137 update said failed at 90% but after reboot, surprise I am on B137! Motion control still missing. But I fixed it by rooting the device and modify the cust\ directory (accroding to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate...-fail-t3078530, then I did wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery (no more cust fail), then flashed the B137 again, still failed at 90%, but after reboot, the motion control is back).
Now looks like I got everything back just like "out of box". I am not sure whether I will be getting 90% fail when B137->b308->B312. Haven't tried yet.

All solved, please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62883777&postcount=55

Honor 6 brick

Hey ladies and gentlemen,
I am having a serious problem. I tried to root my Honor 6 (H60-L04). After installing Super User via TWRP my smartphone started a bootloop. After I waited a few hours it turned off and I tried to reload it for booting into the download mode (to flash a new firmware via Honor MultiTool). But it still showed me that there is an empty battery and didn't start. How can I unbrick it?
Thanks

do u have solution for this??

To install a full stock firmware follow these steps, if the phone is not booting in bootloader mode try doing this: After a loop gets complete, quickly press Vol UP button and connect the phone to PC, you'll be in bootloader mode.
Download your latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.

I had a similar problem with mine when updating to EMUI 4. What I did was:
- Hold Volume Down while rebooting and Connect USB. It should boot into Bootload mode.
- If you get the Error Screen, reboot the Phone.
- If it doesn't work, hold all three buttons. It should reset the phone.
This actually reset my phone and made it work again. Don't ask me why or how.

You should Unbrick with Honor Multitool. You get to still have your data intact when you do only the first step without the 3 button install. If you don't have a TWRP backup that is. Don't ever install SU or root from TWRP. Use KingRoot or Multitool

If the device is rooted then you'll get install failed when doing three button reset, hence the manual flashing is needed.
The three button reset also fails, if in anyway your system is modified.

Well, my system was modified, and after doing that Three-Button reset twice, it actually worked.
Don't ask me why, it just worked. And I'm actually glad it did haha.

I'm just happy that my phone is working now.

Yes, sometimes Android does things which we can't understand(or maybe we don't have enough knowledge), so its easy to just accept the outcome and enjoy..!!

Need help. I think its dead.

I have an AL-10 64GB mate 8. I wanted to turn it to the iternational ROM to have google apps. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/howto-load-international-mate-8-t3293619
Afte flashing with fastboot commands the files my phone doesn't boot up. It shows the warning screen because it is Unlocked but I doesn't boot in menu.

u forgot to flash boot.img, try that through fastboot as well and then try and boot again

There isn't a boot.img in the thread there. Where do I find it?

So I thought to try myself something... I flashed the oldest boot.img from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/orig-development/kernel-insecure-boot-img-t3311306 (B156 FLASHABLE IMG). The only difference now is that it remains stuck at the warning scrren. Previously that screen would dissapear and the phone would be total black.

Also I downloaded the update.app from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l09-nxt-l29-stock-rom-b133-download-t3311839 of L29. Extracted boot,cache,cust,system,recovery,userdata from that package and flashed all files with fastboot. Everything successful but still stucked at warning screen.

try this first
1- go to recovery then factory reset then reboot if not booting so try this method below (use same update.app file)
rowihel2012 said:
Download the update file
Extract
Folder "dload" at the root level of the memory Share (internal or external).
Update.app in the folder "dload" Copy
As Huawei has removed the item "Local Update" from the update program, you must do the following:
Option 1: update via ForceUpdate
Switch off
Simultaneously Power + Volume Down + volume Louder press until the update starts

dload doesn't work. I did manage to install TWRP though... Will try to flash a custom ROM

So I managed to make it boot using DarkSilentSC instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...ng-to-b321-t3375934/post66776218#post66776218
Only 2 problems left. First the memory shows 4GB rather than 64GB and there is no theme support. Any idaes?

hmmm....try and go to recovery and format the data partition, maybe that helps.... just make sure u dont have any important data on the phone before u do that

Data partition is:
TWRP - wipe - advanced wipe - tick data and slide to start?

Nevermind I did it thanks to jbmc83. The solution for anyone that has the same problem is to format data partition. It's in twrp-wipe the right button. Thanks to jbmc83 and to all that helped me!!

yep thats correct although i think ull have to type "yes" in order to start it. in any case, just follow the screen instructions! also, be aware that this takes a lot of time, so wait at least half an hour before giving up ^^ let it run its course!
edit: ah ok, i just saw that it worked! glad it did

Yes, if you can go into bootloader mode, kindly run these commands and report back what are the results.

fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem get-build-number

Which rom were you try to flashing which caused this issue?

Honor 6x only boots into eRecovery mode.

Alright. I have an honor 6x which I attempted to root. I flashed the twrp wrong, and I then was stuck in a bootloop of sorts where it would bring me back to the "Your phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen from unlocking bootloader. I let the battery die, and on that screen once it got some charge, it gave me the option to go to eRecovery. I did that and was able to shut the phone down completely. I then put it in fastboot mode. Through that, I re-locked the bootloader. Done!... not quite. Then, I turned the phone on. Now it only boots into eRecovery mode. I have no idea what the problem is or if it can be fixed. Any help would be received gratefully. Thank you!

which version of device(BL..) and do you bricked on EMUI 4.1 or 5 ?

In worst of cases, are you able to wipe data from eRecovery menu?

Why did you relock bootloader? Not a good idea.

But his device is successfully working

I found that my phone got into that same state (always booting to eRecovery) if I flashed a replacement recovery2 and re-locked the bootloader; apparently Huawei doesn't like that. I just had to boot to fastboot and unlock the bootloader again, then it was able to start up to System.
It sounds like OP was able to fix it by restoring the original recovery2.

Help with a bricked honor 8 FRD-L14

The issue I am having is that my honor 8 (FRD-L14) is stuck on "your device is booting now.." and it does not shut down. If I hold the power button until it shuts down then it restarts by itself and it keep doing the same thing over and over.
When it first starts and the blue screen and the logo come up the phone vibrate twice and then it displays "your device is booting now..." and it gets stuck there
Here is what I can and cant do:
I can go into fastboot and it shows that the phone is unlocked and the FRP is unlocked
I can flash TWRP from there and I can go into TWRP
When I check in TWRP for partitions I can see CUST or DATA and it shows that the INTERNAL STORAGE size is ZERO
I was able to create the system partition but I am not sure if I did it right.
the dload folder on the SD Card has the role back but the three finger thing (vol+ and vol- and power does not start the system restore from update.app) instead it gets stuck on " your device is booting now..."
I tried Huawei_Multi-Tool and I chose the "unbrick option"...I extracted system.img, boot.img, recovery.img and cust.img and the tool was able to push all images to the device but still the device does not start.
The original stock recovery is not accessible either even if I flash the stock recovery image from TWRP
Any tips on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance guys

You said you can go into TWRP right. Just rebrand the device to L19 :angel:
First format data
Then flash the rebrand.zip
Then reboot and if it doesn't boot first go into recovery and factory reset then let it boot up again.

Try flashing stock recovery.img using fastboot. Can you now enter into the 3-button combination mode?

Yes, but he tried the dload method before flashing stock recovery, and he was flashing stock recovery using twrp rather than fastboot.

Thanks but I tried dload after I flashed the stock recovery.
And I tried flashing the stock recovery using facebook and twrp and neither ways succeeded

I had the same exact issue 5 days ago.
Here's what I did to solve it
NOTE - This is FRD-L14 SPECIFIC
First, Download these files -
1) FRD-L04 Original Recoveries and Boot Image
2) FRD-04 Rollback Package from Huawei
3) FRD-L04 Official MM ROM from Huawei
4) FRD-L14 Specific Stock MM ROM Update.zip
Assuming Bootloader is unlocked
Here's what you should do
-Unzip the Recoveries and Boot image folder
-Unzip Rollback Package
-Make a folder called "dload" (without the quotes) in the root of your SD Card
-Place the Update.app from the Rollback Package in there
-Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed - Installer
-Boot into fastboot by Plugging in your USB Cable and Holding Power + Volume Down. This may take multiple tries and multiple reboots to get it right depending on the reboot loop.
-Once phone is in Fastboot, go into the Recoveries and Boot folder, hold Shift and right Click. Click on open Command Window Here.
-If the option says "Powershell" instead, open Command prompt manually, and cd to that directory, or change this option in your settings.
-With command prompt open, do -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
IMPORTANT - Make sure you unplug the cable from the phone and are ready to press both volume buttons at the same time after it reboots
If you dont get it the first time,hold all 3 buttons at the same time to make it reboot and go into that mode.
Code:
fastboot reboot
-Remove cable, press both Buttons at the same time
-It should go into stock recovery and start flashing the Rollback package
-Wait for it to finish, it should reboot automatically
-After it reboots, you should notice that it went back to the same state it was, so reboot into fastboot and flash recovery, recovery2, and the boot image again.
-This time, put the Update.app from the Official L04 Rom you downloaded from the Huawei website in the "dload" folder of the SDCard
-Fastboot Reboot, Remove cable, and Press buttons again. This time it will flash the Official ROM, so it will take longer.
-If it says error right at 99%, reboot, it flashed correctly but it displays an error.
-If it says error anytime before the end of flash, reboot and try again.​-After it reboots, you will notice you are able to boot again. BUT, you are not able to update due to it being branded as L04, sooooo
-Place the Update.app from the 4th link (L14 Specific ROM) in the "dload" folder of SD Card
-Three button method into the recovery flash again.
-It will start to flash the L14 Specific ROM on top of the L04 one.
-After it flashes it and reboots, reboot one more time once you are inside android so it encrypts the ROM.
-(Optional) Update to Nougat, apply other updates after that (There's like 3 Updates I think)
-At this point you have a 100% Stock FRD-L14 Honor 8 but, you can also
-(Optional) Reunlock Bootloader
-Profit?

I had the same exact issue 5 days ago.
Here's what I did to solve it
NOTE - This is FRD-L14 SPECIFIC
First, Download these files -
1) FRD-L04 Original Recoveries and Boot Image
2) FRD-04 Rollback Package from Huawei
3) FRD-L04 Official MM ROM from Huawei
4) FRD-L14 Specific Stock MM ROM Update.zip
Assuming Bootloader is unlocked
Here's what you should do
-Unzip the Recoveries and Boot image folder
-Unzip Rollback Package
-Make a folder called "dload" (without the quotes) in the root of your SD Card
-Place the Update.app from the Rollback Package in there
-Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed - Installer
-Boot into fastboot by Plugging in your USB Cable and Holding Power + Volume Down. This may take multiple tries and multiple reboots to get it right depending on the reboot loop.
-Once phone is in Fastboot, go into the Recoveries and Boot folder, hold Shift and right Click. Click on open Command Window Here.
-If the option says "Powershell" instead, open Command prompt manually, and cd to that directory, or change this option in your settings.
-With command prompt open, do -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks! i will give this a try since flashing the rebranding zip file that was suggested in one of the posts did not work out for me.
However, do you think that this w=method will work despite the fact that I do not have a valid DATA or CUST partitions?
Thanks again for responding to my post!!

No problem!
That shouldn't matter, this will get you to 100% stock, so all of those partitions will be reflashed.

It worked!!!
Thanks a lot!
but this is what happened:
After i flashed recovery, recovery2 and boot images, I rebooted the phone and it went straight to stock recovery and it asked me download stock firmware and stock recovery which was 1.66GB so I allowed and it downloaded it and flashed everything and did a reset and the phone booted normally.
The stock firmware that it downloaded and flashed was B122 MM.
One question though, does the flashing sequence of the recovery, recovery2 and boot matter?
Before you posted your post, I had tried flashing these three files in the following order: boot, then recovery then recovery2 but it never worked.
Also, the three images that tried to flash were extracted from the update.app from this firmware (FRD-L14C567B162_FULL) so I was not sure what was going wrong.
Thanks again for your help!! :victory::good::highfive:

It shouldn't matter, but I included it because sometimes those get corrupted like what happened to me. I'll probably be testing it out completely and making a guide. Looks like you had it better than I did though! I'm glad you got it fixed! :highfive:
