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

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.

Hi all
first of all, i am a noob as I have not been using android for years.
This is the stupid thing I have done so far. let me start the story on how I get this phone.
1. I bought it for 2nd hand, and noticed it has installed with the 'fake' nougat rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8max/general/android-nougat-p8max-t3492952
2. I check the phone it's shows not rooted.
3. It come with TWRP.
4. the Model is DAV-701LV100R001C209D305 ( do I need to download the exact same rom? I can't find it anywhere)
5. I wiped out everything including internal memory. and the phone now looping at the 'Huawei logo'
5. So I wanted to restore back to the original rom and downloaded some rom from Huawei website for 701L, when I press the +,- and power button it shows fail, some incapability things....
what shall I do now? I really lost now. please help!!!.. I just need a working phone:crying::crying::crying:
The problem is that there a no full ROM for this device so you cant forceupdate it.

I think the only thing maybe could work is that you put a universal CUST on it and flash a "normal" ROM on it than.

Hello guys, I'm so sorry for having to bug you all eventhough there already has been many threats regarding a bricked Honor 8.
But however, i'm really stuck because apparently my Honor 8 model is FRD-L19C636 B380 currently running emui 5.0
This phone was bought in Malaysia. Due to my retardness, i tried rooting this phone but accidently wiped the entire system with my backup of twrp.
This phone is unlocked, its having stock recovery now, phone works as in, there are many apps missing and theres no keyboard and camera does not work.
I seem to have downloaded the update.app for the latest version but it does not include CUST.IMG which then doesnt allow me to fully flash the rom.
When I'm thinking about downgrading, it didnt work either because i cannot find the correct version for the downgrade. (I randomly picked a FRD L19 emui 4.1 from the website and flash it, it failed at CUST.IMG and further bricked my device but now its back to the state where theres no keyboard and apps are missing)
Bootloader is unlocked
I can access fastboot and stock recovery. Please I really need help D: I would never want to mess with my phone ever again, my mom bought me this phone and it was hard for her, I feel really bad for not taking care of it properly.

Factory reset not needed
friends competes an honor 8 FRL-L19 did not do any procedure on it just downloaded an app in the play store called firmware finder and installed the stock rom 380 but my device went into loop it goes into the recovery mode already downloaded some roms and tried to install by the card but not always sure of the error ... Someone can help me
Hi all
My honor 8 just arrived yesterday,
Turned it on and it prompted me for a software update and it went in to a boot-loop.
Not sure what fw it was on before the update, also unsure what version it was upgrading to.
Later found out trough fastboot that it is (FRD-L19C636B386).
Tried to factory reset (no luck)
Tried eRecovery method, keeps showing (Getting package info failed)
Tried the 3 finger method with FRD-L19C636B380, keeps showing (Software install failed Get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore)
Tried to flash trough fastboot, unfortunately it can't be done without unlocking the bootloader.
Wanted to unlock the bootloader but seems like it requires the phone to be able to boot to OS before I can get the unlock code.
Anyone having the same issue or have other alternatives/solutons for me to try?
Cheers!
Try rollback package
Rommco05 said:
Here you can find how get unlock code when you can't boot to rom. For this use program which is in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-func-11-recovery-image-t3656979/post73420440 is a ID and other staff generator

2. Whats happening now is, the "Honor" logo boots twice then goes to Huawei eRecovery. Under eRecovery it has option "Download latest version and recovery" > "Download and recovery" > "Starting WIFI failed". Actually I can connect to wifi earlier and this what happens to the eRecovery "Getting package info failed". But now it CANT connect to the wifi.
3. I tried the firmware rollback but it didnt help

Btw after install the 2 files should i wipe data and cache before using it?

No need to be wiped anything. You remember if firmware which you try install was labeled with PV on end name of fw?

There were 2 b380 available, 1st is 300mb 2nd file is full ota. I only downloaded d full ota. No PV at d end as far as i remember. Used wifi proxy > system update ota > start download pause > return wifi config > resume ota update.
Rommco05 said:
Ithink this was issue, if you want install some firmware or update (Nougat) must be always labeled with PV, with this is able to install over dload or twrp
Click to expand...

I think PV filenames is for twrp. I just read that updating to b380 you need to rollback to b120 which is marshmallow then jump to b380. As long as i can return it to my stock b360 Im fine with it. I will just wait for Oreo or OTA update without using FF since this issue is driving me nuts. It's just 5 day old phone n this already happened. My download is still at 50% very frustrating download speed

As far I know every update must by labeled with PV if will can be installed manualy, this is "offline firmwares" wich don't need be checked online by Huawei

The 1st file worked my phone now booted, but the problem is I cant pass thru setup/google account because it doesnt have keyboard just voice command. Why no keyboard, it's my 1st time to see this happened as well, was there a problem with my download?
Im now in the process of installing the 2nd file you gave thru 3 combo, lets see if it gives me a keyboard.

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.

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions and links.
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.
Thank you again shashank1320

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.

Shashank

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
Hello dear users,
I`m facing a very big problem with my g955f. For a while i had 7.0 on my device but yesterday i decided i should update to 8.0. I flashed the latest 8.0 stock (BL, AP, CP, CSC) from sammobile and everything worked great. Problem appeared when i tried to install supersu and it got into a bootloop. I flashed again 8.0, this time without BL because i've got the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIN(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1". After device booted up there was NO IMEI...s'o i think something happened with efs partition. Then i tried a fix from another thread and now i get "efs mount failed (invalid argument) after i flash a rom and the phone restarts".
I know i know, i should have made a backup...
The question is, does anybody know how to solve this problem ? Maybe from where to get an efs dump (even with IMEI 000....)
sorry, my english may not be so good
Thank you !
there is only way to get imei back is Z3X box if someone on mobile shop have it otherwise you need to send it to service centre with your recipe & mobile box.

i finally found a combination file for U2 bootloader version but no success. Someone more skilled than me told me that efs partition seems to be effectively deleted. I'll take the phone to a service today and hope this will be solved. Thank you
LE: can you explain what this pit file is for ? i don`t want to brick the phone more than it already is

maybe you`re luckier than me and your efs partition is just corrupted not deleted and combination file will fix it
How can i check that? Do you fix your problem?

No.... still not fixed because efs partition is deleted. What is your phone actual problem ?null imei or it doesn't even boot up ?
I have this stock S8+ Official Oreo CRAP Firmware 14.02.2018, but i can´t find the combination files for it.
It does boot up, but it doesn´t give signal and when i look up in settings for the imei it says unkwon. How can i be shure that the efs partition is deleted?

Oreo comes with U2 version of bootloader. This means you can`t use combination files that have been made for 7.0 bootloader (U1). Yesterday i found a combination file for U2 version. I'll share the link with you but right now i'm at work and i don`t find that link. When i'll be at home(8hours) i'll post the link here(i saved it in bookmarks). Chances for recovering your imei are very high i think. Until then please don't make something stupid with your phone like i did....
LE: if the phone is booting up then i think your efs is just corrupted

Yeah....i`m desperate too....i messed up an expensive and a high end phone.....but that's it....we're learning from our own mistakes ). I think that is the file i'm saying (check if it has "U2" in its name). Download it, flash it with odin (put the file in AP), wait until the flashing process is done and that "gears screen" is on, and wait. After that flash the stock 8.0 oreo and the imei should be back. Hope this helps you. I can't give you an exact method to see if efs is corrupted or deleted.....like you i'm a newbie with all this architecture of android...

I used the combination file and show me the imei so i think it was just corrupted. But when i try to flash stock in odyn https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444 this version, it says device 2 binarie 1 error. So flash without check BL. But then the device doesnt boot and gets stuck in first screen. What can i do?

There`s nothing you can do. Your only option is to stay with 8.0. You can't downgrade the bootloader from U2 or U1 because U2 security policies seems to not be ok with this ). I left my device at a service twenty minutes ago to reflash an efs dump from another 955f....hope they will make it.... anyway, congrats for reviving your device

This message means that your actual bootloader version is newer than the one you want to flash and because security policies you can`t flash an older version. You'll have to flash latest stock 8.0 (bl,ap,cp,csc).
