today i'm on emui 5.... FRD-L09C900B300 and i can't ota upgrade....
Someone have a good rom like stock android or emui 5 official ?
Thanks... :crying:
Really..

Have you tried to rollback? Or why do you have FRD-L09C900B300? It's a rollback package.
I suggest you to use dload method to rollback to B131.

i tried to roll back but now i can't instal a good version
you have a link for dload and rollback in official emui with ota update ?

I have been stuck on B300 also when trying to rollback once or after trying to upgrade via charle method i don't remember. But I end up getting out of it and rolling back to B131 by creating the dload folder with the B131 frimware in my sd-card, and it works. On internal storage it kept telling me something error or invalid packet.
bonne chance

It's good I'm back to stock now I'm gonna do the ghost waiting for a version of the honor 8 lineage os 14.1 stable
i'm on b380 with some update
Merci

My honor 8 refuse update

hello, i will try to explain my problem :
My honor was bricked by an error of flash.
I have "repair" it by a way found here on xda : flash boot.img, cust, recovery, system, and after i have could make the update by dload.
Then all was ok under the firmware LO9C432B131.
But now, i can't update to B360...
Before my brick, i had the ota update to B360... but now i have nothing....
If i try the update by dload, it says : "problem compatibility"
I have downgraded to B120 and ota update was good for B131. But nothing for B360
If someone can explain me...thank you so much (actually the phone is no rooted and relocked)
Hi there. Go through the entire rollback procedure and you will be fine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-downgrading-unlocked-rooted-twrpd-t3549281
Put the update.app file in a folder called dload on a SD card. If you haven't got one, flash twrp in fastboot and when in twrp you'll be able to transfer them to internal storage from your pc. Then follow the instruction above. That's how I unbricked mine. Good luck.

I don't think you understood what OP is saying. He successfully rolled back to MM but he cant go to Nougat anymore.

Yes, but I believe the issue comes from manual flashing of partitions. I have also tried that when my phone was dead and the recovery and eRecovery always threw "package incompatible" error. I think restoring the entire file system to factory condition (which happens during the rollback process) is the sure best way to fix all issues.
Thanks for your answers,
I finally got the update with the charlie app...(not easy this method !)
But now i don't know if ota will be ok...
I will perhaps do the rollback as you said to restore the entire file system...

Don't getting update to B560 again

My Mate 8 L29 is currently on C432B192 again. I said 'again', because I was already three or four times on EMUI 5. (I tried to root it but it failed Everytime, so I had to rollback)
Yesterday I wanted to try again to root B560 and began to search for the update, but - nothing. I tried it via update app , HiCare app and HiSuite on PC. I don't get the update offered. (I also deleted data and cache of those apps)
I'm currently rooted, so I tried to unroot, install stock boot image and recovery .. but same problem: still not getting the update.
Now I'm wondering why this is happening .. I had that same case before (B192, rooted etc.) and I always got that update offered.
Does anyone have a solution for this ? ( Except the manually method via TWRP .. this was never working for me)
Thank you for your help!
Hello everyone ...
I was trying to root my mate 8 next+L29c185b560 ... And I did with twrp
But I lost all huawie apps like hw care and backup and a lot ... And there is no keyboard and Bluetooth not working ... How can I get my phone to his original state ??? Without root without twrp but with all functions ??? Can any one guide me ?

You need rollback package to get it back to normal.
Since your model is L29 & you are nougat.
Go to this site http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
Download the file
Extract the update.app
Make a folder on your sdcard and name it as dload
put this update.app in that sdcard
now you do the dload method
you can do it two ways
one way is
the 3 finger rule while bootup
just press volume + volume - power button together and hold until you see EMUI verifying package
then release your fingers
it will rollback to marshmallow
now you have to update it to another stock firmware (marshmallow)
remember at this point it is in global firmware it might show build number as C900 or something.
you can check it in the settings - about -> build number
you have to then update it to your model firmware
L29C185BXX
I found the stock firmware from another thread for your model
This is L29C185B200
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
once again
download the file,
extract the update.app &
then put the update.app in dload folder on your sdcard
and then do dload method.
second way of dload is
open dialer
type *#*#2846579#*#*
click on "software upgrade"
and then -> SDcard upgrade
follow the instructions on the screen
and it will finish the dload method in next few minutes.
That's it. now you will be on Stock ROM with fully functional OS.
after this you will either get OTA updates or you can download using HiCare
or you can download the stock firmware from another thread
or
you can use firmware finder to get stock firmware for your phone. Get the latest version.
If you finish all these steps then I will tell you how to get to nougat if you have any trouble
Hope you find this information useful.

You are rooted & if I read correctly you also have TWRP installed.
If you are unlocked, rooted & have TWRP - then you can install custom roms.
but if you want stock roms, - you need Stock ROM, Stock Recovery, Locked bootloader.
First you need the rollback package from EMUI4.1 to EMI 4.0 for L29C432 is below
https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/0mlDFqqy
Rollback package for L29 to downgrade from EMUI 5.0 to EMUI 4.0 marshmallow is
http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
So choose the right version based on the firmware you are having on your phone. If you have nougat choose the second link and if you have any other version then choose the first link.
Download the file, extract the update.app
then you have to do dload method
create a folder named dload and put update.app in sd card
then
go to dialer
press *#*#2846579#*#*
select
sdcard upgrade
and then say yes
that's it
you will come back to stock (global) version. build version will be C900BXX
now you need stock firmware for L29C432
you can download the stock firmware from here. Below tis the link for L29C432B180
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51244/f1/full/update.zip
Stock firmware for L29C432B192
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v63059/f1/full/update.zip
Here you have the option to either go for L29C432B180 or L29C432B192. (if you choose B192, then you will save time and reduce few steps, because you will get system update to B560 immediately once you change the region to Ireland in Hicare app)
do the dload method again
extract the file, put the file in dload folder in sdcard ,
either use dialer or use 3 button rule to finish the dload process
now you are on L29C432B180. / L29C432B192
From here you can use another dload method to go to B192 - > system update (OTA) -> B560 or B580
if you get a blank screen - > do factory reset
if you get "verification failed " in red color - > unlock bootloader again and proceed with the steps.
This rollback package will save you in case of any problems.
Once you go to nougat B560
you can update to Kangvip B577 - pre rooted rom - its awesome - Root stable , excellent battery lfie. - everything is working perfectly.
I will give you those steps and links if you succeed in getting to B560 after all these steps.
I am sorry that this is a very long post and many steps but I can assure you that it is worth.
Ultimately you will get to nougat & with full root using Kangvip B577.
Hope you succeed

Need Marshmallow firmware for FRD-L09C432B398

Hi, i tried to roll back to MM after my phone's camera stopped working, so i formated the device and proceeded to flash the stock Nougat firmware in TWRP.
The installation failed, and i was left with a device without an OS.
I used the dload method and rolled back to MM and EMUI 4.1
But when i was going to install the firmware it failed because it was for a different device.
I can't find any stock Android 6.0 firmware for my device. It's a FRD-L09C432B398, which i've come to find out is a pretty rare one.
Yes, i also tried Firmware Finder, but i couldn't find anything.
Could anyone please link me an Android 6.0 firmware update i could dload.
Thanks in advance.

The model is FRD-L09. B398 is the rom version.
If this doesnt work it means you arw doing something wrong. I made rollback with this package and rom more than 10 times, even from B398. Search on XDA a thread with a rollback tutorial

L09C432 is your model B398 is the ROM version.
FF doesnt work for rolling back. dload rollback package first, then the B131 (which is MM), then it works
edit: was too late apparently
for proper dload, put the respective UPDATE.APP file out of the zips in the dload folder ( create the folder if it doesnt exist) in your sdcard ( Rollback first, then MM) and then flash them both. (power + both vol. buttons when device is turned off)

Ok, i didn't know that the B398 is the rom version, thank you for bringing this to my attention. That makes finding firmware much easier!
I have already rolled back to MM, however it's my first time doing this so i probably made a mistake. I appreciate all your help, and as i said, i will try this soon.

It worked! Thank you sooo much!

dload method, no firmware file for Nougat i download is valid!

I need help! I often softbrick my device, but can be fixed by using official 6.0 update.app However updating back to emui 5 takes way too long. But every firmware i download from huawei firmware finder isn't valid for dload for some reason! Help!
Did you already tried with firmwares listed as "FullOTA-MF-PV" available on hwmt.ru site, section firmware database? The Point Version is a firmware that must work while you're executing a dload method flash, the safest usually.
What's your build number? I'll provide a valid firmware to use with dload method.
BLN-L21C432 but i didnt see any MF-PV for b360+ so i dont think there are... that, or i am blind
Use team mt tool extract update.app from firmware and use Huawei extracter to provide required file

The biggest one with dload method first of all, then the other two dload too (or flash by TWRP)
TWRP says command unknown, and how am i supposed to flash the second one? (There is no third file) Do i dload big one, then boot to EMUI, then shutdown, extract SD, switch dload folder, and install the second?
Refer to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240

Did the failure brick your phone? or the phone just reboots itself normally? are you sure that your firmware is approved first for installtion before you apply it? (you can know this using Firmware Finder by checking if it's approved first or not for installation by Huawei)
