OTA update fails, best way of update?

Hello.
I have a Honor 6 L04 device. I'm currently on EMUI 2.3, but I wanna update to the latest 3.1. OTA update is failing maybe because of root or something else.
Is there any other EASY way of updating to 3.1? Can I just do a factory reset and flash a stock 3.1 rom?
Go to emui 3.0 b316, only then emui 3.1 b526

Do you mean to flash stock rom from scratch?

Bro please don't guide a person wrongly. The version you mentioned is not for H60-L04.
And yes, you can't update of your phone is rooted. Do a factory reset and update.

Downgrade from Android 7 to 6

Hi.
I got an official nougat update today but I definitely don't like new emui 5.0 and want to go back to previous version.
Is there any way to do it (I prefer official solutions).

Yeah I seen your thread did you update to 368 using firmware finder or was it ota?
I update fro b369...use method hwota8
In general, you had better check and get system software update from OTA unless you have rooted your devices. OTA is the official way to get update.
All my Oreo-based updates have been through FF using the proxy method. FullOTA always. No issues whatsoever. Running 8.0.0.368(C432) atm.
I would still be stuck in Nougat if it wasn't for FF.

Do I Wait For 8.0 on ? FRD-L14

My other device is out of order right now so I switched back to my old Honor 8.
When I did I received 2 updates.
But still did not get 8.0 is it something you a to do manually?
If the L14 is an American model then you won't get it. It's not out. Otherwise, you'll need to update via hisuite for the official way

Does using the hisuite to update it erase everything on the Honor 8 ?

Yes. Anytime you update to a new Android version a factory reset is mandatory

You can make a backup by using Huawei's own Backup app.

yes you should wait B560 update with 8.0 showed up for L04 and L14 on FF
Does anybody know if the American model is still going to get 8.0? This is just sad now.

Personally I gave up on waiting and flashed the unofficial frimware from FF. I'm more than happy with stock Oreo, it's smooth and battery life is amazing (you can tweak each application with more settings than in Nougat). Right now I'll stay on stock but I know I have custom ROM if I get tired of it which is also rly nice

I thought I would get the official updates so I never got the free unlock bootloader code. This sucks since I paid cash for this at Best Buy
I'm on Oreo B560 for the L14. Can I relock the bootloader using fastboot so that I can use Google pay or will this brick my phone? I don't really use root apps. Other than that Oreo works great.

PSA. For those that rolled back to 9.1

Just an FYI, for those like myself that rolled back to EMUI 9.1 from beta 10. You won't be getting any security patches or updates anymore for 9.1
Major bummer if one intends to stay on 9.1 until 10 is official., got this information from official Huawei global support forums.

Hey @Limeybastard,
do you know if this rollback is feasible once FRP was set? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/rollback-emui-10-to-9-to-bypass-frp-t4044711
