Unrooting help - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hey all,
So I've decided that I am too inexperienced to have my honor 8 rooted and would like to revert it back to stock. I don't care if it is still unlocked, I just don't want the root. I am using TWRP and the model I have is the LD-04 B385. Also, I DO NOT have an actual external SD card. I have tried using supersu to unroot, unsuccessful. I have tried manually unrooting and only made it to where I downloaded the zip supposedly containing the stock img. I extracted the UPDATE file but never actually found the boot.img. So now I'm stuck. Any help would be extremely appreciated. And please, as painstaking as it might be for you, please explain in very simple terms. On a scale of infant to old man on the knowledge of this stuff, I'm fresh out the womb!

The main question is what did you originally used to root...

Look the best way to make ur device stock again is to download the rollback package and install it. It will bring u to marshmallow and when u update back to Nougat ur bootloader will get locked and ur phone will start functioning just fine again.

Can I do that straight from my device or does it have to be done over PC? Is there an Android official site I can get this from so I know it's legit? PS thank you for helping.

I'm not really sure if u can only use ur phone. I recommend u to use a computer but that is only to transfer the files to ur SD Card. Oh I forgot to mention before this process requires a MicroSD card.
Here's the link from Honor's website:

If u r ready to go ahead and do this u can contact me on Hangouts or just PM me and I'll help u through the steps.

You can do it over mobile. Just boot to erecovery and select the first option. Note that this will wipe your internal memory so have a backup of your files.

Doesn't work. Tried different days and using different WiFi and it always says it failed to gather the packages.

Then through PC is the only choice. Goodluck with that.

Honor 8 stolen and flashed

Hello, guys i need your help here. My 2 week old Honor 8 was stolen by thief. Police retrieved the phone and I got it back. Problem is that the thief did something to the phone and tried to remove/replace IMEI and ROM so he wouldnt be tracked down by police, which obviously didnt help him. Now i got my phone back and there is writing " This phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted" everytime i reboot it, but it loads at least. I tried to flash the phone with Rollback and stock firmware from hihonor.com website but without luck. Flashing stops at 5% saying version mismatch or something like that.
2 more cents:
1. About phone shows 2 different IMEIs
2. Version number shows: FRD-C900B120
I would like my phone back to stock firmware without root or anything, i dont need that.
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks a lot!
Hi, i had your problem, stuck at 5% and here (in another thread) some people helped me, so i'm telling you what i did hoping i can help you too.
Update process:
First of all be sure to download the firmware updated (Marshmallow) http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92125&version=360419&siteCode=it-h
After the download is finished:
1. Make a backup, then format your External SD card from your PC (FAT32 should be fine)
1. Unzip (just extract) the update.zip and you should have "UPDATE.APP". Transfer this file to the SD card into the dload folder (if folder is not present, create it yourself). Pay attention, when i did this i haven't any file on the formatted sd card, so do this before transfer anything else
2. In the dialer app, enter the combination *#*#2846579#*#* and select "Software Upgrade" to make the updating process from SD start
3. If everything goes fine but the phone does not boot (bootloop on Honor logo), enter to recovery and wipe data and cache
I think that there is no need to use the rollback package as you weren't on a new software, so just download this firmware and you should be fine flashing it.
P.S The firmware i linked is for model FRD-L09, as i don't know where to find yours. If your phone is European version, then you can download and try to install it. After all, when the phone boots you can update to Nougat via OTA to B380 firmware if you want. Let me know if you succede
It did not help unfortunately. I downloaded the zip, extracted and moved dload with .app in it to formated SD card. dialed the number, selected the package, phone rebooted to twrp and nothing happend. so I turned it off and tried (+ - power button) install, it started installing but after 5% it says "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct package." and reboot system now. Same outcome as with rollbackers before
dunno whats my correct version tbh, "About phone" shows under Model: FRD and under Version: FRD-C900B120. thats all i got. btw I live in czech rep.

Okay, shouldn't have rebooted to twrp.. But if manually update fails maybe it's the case to try with the correct firmware. If you can find the firmware wich begins with FRD-L09C40 (wich belongs to Czech Republic) you can retry the update process. I searched around the web but found anything (maybe because i'm in italy, idk) but you can try to search in another thread here on xda. I saw a list of original firmware if i'm not wrong. You can try see there or ask them if they can provide a link for the correct firmware you need. Sorry if i can't help anymore

I can help bud . But before plz answer few of my questions.so that i can get a clear view if ur issue
If bootloader is unlocked, there should be no problem with flashing it via adb manually or TWRP.
If this fails, there is always a way how to fix it, with DC-Phoenix.

Ringtones got lost. Where to find the original ones?

After updating, rooting and further steps with my Honor 8 I noticed that the ringtones (as well as alarms) got lost on the way. I even think they suddenly disappeared a few days after...
However I don't know where the system ringtones are located normally. I've got a Ringtone folder in my data but there is nothing inside. And where can I get the original ringtones? Got all firmware packages and UpdateExtractor on my computer.
Thanks!

Just reflash your firmware to get them back. Also, ringtones are located in /system/media
Go to settings and through updater, press the option of "download latest full firmware", it should solve it

Will I loose root or even data? It seems like alle the ringtones, alarms,... are still in the folder. Any idea why they are not regonized? Maybe some App does't have SD permissions but I absolutely don't know which one I have to check.
Youll lose root and probably data, if the ringtones are there and are not recognized, I don't what to say.
Are they .ogg files

Can you try this workaround?
1. Grab all your notification tones and ringtones from /system/media
2. Create a folder in internal storage named Notifications and Ringtones
3. Put your grabbed files in their respective folder.

Ehm I couldn't acccess them... If you mean my question where I can get the ringtones: At this point I thought they are not on my phone anymore and I have to insert them somewhere. But it seems like they are on my phone but just aren't regonized. The workaround fixed it but the orginal ringtone folder is just ignored by the system.

Instead of doing this wrecky jobs . Plz do flash full firmware again . This will let you stay safe in all instances
Thank you both but I won't reflash the firmware when there is another way. I had sooo many problems with flashing, rooting, BusyBox and more. Got back to stock and updated/installed everything like 4 times. I'm just happy that the phone finally works. Would I have knew that the Honor 8 hates modifications so much, I wouldn't have bought it. Never got problems with my OnePlus One...
Besides, my updater just doesn't work (I'm using Firmware Finder). I think it's because my Honor is a specsaes (Malaysian Version, even though it's a FRD-L09 (European) - don't get this ****) and I'm located in Germany.

As mentioned mainly rooting and the problems with encrypted data. Titanium Backup and LuckyPatcher still don't work as good as with my OnePlus One. And if I had knew that there is no XPosed (at the moment)...

It may be because you flashed it manually. And unless we have rollback package for your model you may not be able to rollback to MM. Are you planning to install custom ROM or want to be on stock rom only.
Updater is not there means tou wont get OTA bit test build wont impact anything.
You may need to flash the oeminfo of your model as well.

Hi.
Bought gr 5 '17 yesterday. Running MM.
I want to update to Nougat, cant find my build number in firmware finder list.
Fb group admin (also member here...) suggested to download a B 370 package.
I want to ask will it work for B160?
Also, any link to step by step instructions for update? Sorry, non tech person here...
Note: if i click to dl a package from Firmware finder, it shows dl as a zip file. Once download is complete, then what?
Thanks in Advance.

I would advise to wait for official OTA (as you got the phone yesterday) but if you really want to do it-
Download this- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1279/g104/v82620/f2/full/update.zip
and this http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...cseas/update_data_full_BLL-L22_hw_spcseas.zip
Flash first file and boot to system. Then 2nd and boot.
You need to use dload method as below
Unzip 1st file and extract the package. You will get few files including update.app.
Few suggest to use only update.app file but I would advise, based on my personal experience for all dload method I tried, use all the files.
Create a folder dload under SD card and copy all the files to this folder.
Power off the phone. Remove USB cable, if connected.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button (3 keys together)
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.
During restart, phone will verify the system image.
This verification and 1st boot may take upto 2-3 minutes so do not panic.
Repeat the same with 2nd zip file.
Good luck. Happy Flashing.

Unzip 1st file and extract the package. You will get few files including update.app.
Few suggest to use only update.app file but I would advise, based on my personal experience for all dload method I tried, use all the files.
Create a folder dload under SD card and copy all the files to this folder.
Power off the phone. Remove USB cable, if connected.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button (3 keys together)
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.
During restart, phone will verify the system image.
This verification and 1st boot may take upto 2-3 minutes so do not panic.
Repeat the same with 2nd zip file.
Good luck. Happy Flashing.

I think I will take your advice and wait for OTA update.
As mentioned, I am not too 'tech' and am worried might do the wrong thing.
Is it normal for my build # not to have nougat update yet?....
I will bookmark this post and report back in a week. Hopefully I will have an update by then.

You welcome. Welcome to XDA and tech stuff.
Yes it is normal. Update may pop up anytime. Have you inserted the SIM yet? If not, putting the SIM may help. Also it may take upto a week for your phone to register and get update.

Thank you for your Welcome Shashank I hope to learn alot from the XDA Forum and you, since this is my 1st Android phone o).
I had not inserted the SIM before, since I'm still learning how the phone works and was playing around with the GR 5 17 without the SIM.
I have inserted the SIM and just like you said; I got an update from the Settings menu.
I am downloading update : BLL-L22C636B360 as we speak.
I am worried since I read on this thread that it might have some problems....
I will post an update once completed.
I am excited to learn more about Android from the XDA Forum, and how I can keep my GR 5 17 in the best condition.
Thank you again for your support Shashank. Stay Well

I have downloaded the B360 update. As you mentioned, I have received another update and am now on : Build number ~: BLL-L22C636B384 , EMUI : 5.0.1, Android : 7.0
Things seem to be working fine for now.
I wanted to ask you about any good Dark theme for the GR5-17.
Do you suggest from the Huawei themes (built in) or from :EMUI theme factory? (an app I dl from PlayStore.
Thank you, Stay Well

You did not explain how to install it
Through instal
Or through backup
Because I asked and did not really get an answer
So I went the way I understand
It was ZIP twice
I deleted everything and needed the file again
After repeated attempts without success
I tried to create some interest in the model H990
And I failed in a big way
So I decided to go with the flow and transfer to another phone

You didn't fail, I think the modding community just moved on from this device a long time ago, especially since the H990 got root almost a year after release when the V30 was beginning to be hyped up.
We can't thank you enough for trying, though. It's a shame that this phone didn't get the attention it deserved.
You saved me!
I would like to buy you a drink. You absolutely saved my phone!
I have an LG H990DS that was on firmware v10e-AME-XX.
Following emdroidles dirtysanta, I flashed firmware H990ds10d_00_OPEN_AME_DS_OP_1216.kdz. At step 17 I flashed h990-kernel.zip.
I ended up with a phone that would boot into TWRP but not into Android (It got stuck on the 2nd LG logo). I could use ADB and I could use Fastboot. I tried to use LGUP to reflash my firmware but download mode ended in a static screen. LGUP would not not recognise my model beyond H99010p. I tried the common.dll and the patched LGUP as well, I got nowhere.
Sadly I had not performed a backup first. After a lot of searching I got your backup to work. Here is how I did it:
1) Download the folder [2016-01-01--21-11-52_NRD90M] onto your microSD card.
2) Enter TWRP and perform a backup. (This creates a folder unique to your phone.)
3) Using TWRPs filemanager, copy the whole folder [2016-01-01--21-11-52_NRD90M] into /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/[your phones serial number here]/
4)Using the phones back button you can return to the TWRP Restore menu. AVIMPEG's backup is then available for you to download.
I at least now have a working phone. I would still like to get LGUP to recognise my phone so that I can flash the correct firmware again. Any ideas are welcome.

Oppo find X2 pro CPH2025

I have a problem with my oppo find X2 pro cph2025 and I installed the beta of Android 11 and I would like to go back to Android 10 and install the official version. I've tried everything and still haven't been able to do it. if someone helps me I would be delighted
Hello, I'm in the same position. I have wiped the phone and tried to rollback but I keep getting an 'installation failed' message. Any attempt to install from download folder gives me a 'failed to extract. File corrupt' If anyone's out there with an idea how to rollback successful then please let us know. Thank you in advance.
Hi guys,
You need to first format data via recovery. This will decrypt your internal storage.
You then need to download this file https://fsopen.coloros.com/3/oppoww...0810_all_EI2gpIrAinVK-roll-findx2-mp9-ex.ozip and place it on the root of your internal storage.
Reboot to recovery and flash. Ignore the fact it says CPH2023. Several people including me have flashed this and got off the Android 11 beta. After you flash, you need to download and flash this https://mega.nz/file/KAcVGY7C#Kld16kGyDUOn1yUD9BYIoKH4IZUrgSUIj7HB5Je-r08 otherwise, you’ll be stuck on the A.31 update until the end of time. Plus the A.31 update is not play store certified - so Netflix etc wont download. The mega link above is for A.41.
So just to reiterate, format data, boot phone, skip the setup process, download the first link, place on root of internal storage, reboot to recovery, flash, skip through the setup process, download the second link and repeat...
Let me know if you need any further help.
Regards,
Speedy!
Thank you very much, could you guide us step by step because I try to install the downloaded file through the recovery mode and it never appears in the installation file. If you could give me your email and get in touch with you for a guide on how to do it, I would really appreciate it. thank you and I hope you help me
Okay so, step by step.
1. Turn off phone
2. Boot to recovery
3. Once in recovery, format data (if you're on the Android 11 Beta)
4. Once formatted, reboot.
5. Download the first link above.
6. Once downloaded, move to the root of your internal storage.
7. Once moved, reboot to recovery.
8. Install from internal storage.
9. Once installed, reboot.
10. Skip through the setup process.
11. Delete the previous software file to save confusion.
12. Download the second link above and move to the root of your internal storage.
13. Power off and boot to recovery.
14. Install from internal storage.
15. Select the file you downloaded secondly.
16. Reboot and go through the setup process as you normally would.
17. Enjoy!

The region setting has been removed mate. I believe it was removed in A.38.

Did you roll back to A.31? I think the A.31 update had no meaningful use and only served a purpose to roll back beta participants to Android 10. I remember updating to A.38 (Vodafone UK) and the option to change region was removed.
Changing region won't be a "thing" anymore in future updates from Oppo.

It seems that way
Hey Speedy, yeah, also updated my phone to L1 so Netflix now works. Cheers mate.
