Restore All phone + update problem - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello, sorry bad english ^^.
1) I would like to delete the message "your phone is unlock" to sell my phone.
It is possible to delete TWRP and the unlock ? or just hide the message ? i need a clear factory phone.
2) update impossible !
- The "update" menu in setting disappear !
- HiCare say "Your phone is up to date" but i have the red badge (1) on icon Setting
- TWRP say error : 7 when i swipe the update xxxxB389 update.zip correctly
My phone is FRD-L09 C432B380
Thanks For Help :good:

First you have to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and "fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img" from extracted update.zip of current B380 firmware (huawei firmware extractor). You just replace custom recovery with stock one. Second read the process of dload method. Then download rollback package for your model and firmware B131 (Android M). You could find them somewhere on XDA or download them through Honor site/Firmware Finder. First dload rollback package, than the same for update.zip and then update_data_full_hw_eu.zip. After all 3 files are flashed you should be back to stock and ready to take standard OTA to latest firmware without any sign of unlocked bootloader.

i don't understand, i'm novice.
i don't have a windowsOS to launch firmwareExtractor exe , but i have the fastboot command in terminal.
i have found and download the rollback package : hihonor.com/fr/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92133

Someone could send you the right recovery.img and recovery2.img if he has downloaded FRD-L09C432B380 and has got Windows to extract that. And you need a B131 firmware to download (2 zips).
Do I understand that you have nonWindowsOS PC and you have access to adb and fastboot respectively (and via that you were able to unlock your device in the first place)?

mmm yes i have unlock my phone via ADB on OSX
i have found B131 . : hidrive.strato.com/lnk/Rdljlogo
that all i need ?

Yes, b131 is only one zip file with aproximately 1,75GB, rollback package is about 74,4MB (both comprised). I do attach recovery files from FRD-L09C432B381 and which I used to flash over TWRP before updating to newest firmware. It should work. Start with flashing recovery via fastboot, than dload rollback and last would be the firmware. Good luck! Give others feedback if it helped you.

Thank you.
he stays 3hour download so i recaps ^^:
1 ) Flashing with FastBoot recovery.img and after Recovery2.img
2) What can i do with RollBack ? i have dload folder with UPDATE.APP inside
3) Swipe Firmware b131 with TWRP ?
4) i have a clear phone with no unlock ? and i can update in setting app

1) Yes. Estabilish fastboot connection with your device, put the files in the folder of your "adb program" and use the commands above. Now, you will lost TWRP and will have stock recovery.
2) Yes. I have sent you a link to check dload process. You have to dload rollback via button combination with your SD card. It's all there.
3) No. After flashing rollback package via dload you have to do the same dload process for the B131 firmware. It's just the same. Very short recap is here.
4) Yes, back to stock, only with "old firmware".

Yeah thanks i will doing this soon

Yeahhit work ! thank you

its the same method that i did when i upgrade from B180 to B320 but it doesnt work for me when i want to downgrade, after flashing .img files i restart the phone stuck on "your device is booting now..." and i cant enter stock recovery. so to solve the prob i have to restart bootloader and flash twrp and go back to B320 i hate B3xx its so buggy, slow, apps crashing freezing, too much problems....) B180 was working perfect for me. btw i have a L29C652 no firmwares no updates.... my bootloader is unlocked i was using C900B180 and now C900B320.
then Flash the img files System,Boot,Cust and Recovery from B180 via fastboot,reboot and set up the Phone,power off and press the three buttons to flash the B180 update.app and Factory reset,this works for me without Problems.
Make you a Factory Reset after flash B320?Mine is not freezing or Buggy but the loction is total wrong.
or you can Flash the international B180 in Twrp,before flash this format system,data,,dalvik cache,cache and cust in twrp and flash B180 int.
Then reboot into Bootloader and flash Stockrecovery and Power off.Install update app B180 with the three buttons

Unknown build number. HONOR 8 FRD-L04

Hello there.
Honor 8 frd-l04 USER HERE.
After FORCING the Nougat update with FIRMWARE FINDER, I was having problems when receiving calls, the phone would answer itself while it was in my pocket, even while having the TOUCH DISABLE MODE and no raise to wake, raise to ear, flip etc functions turned off.
So i decided to rollback to MM, so just followed the instructions given here...
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/index.html
Nevertheless, I couldn't do it. IT kept saying "software install failed" when installing the package, so I was stuck in the INTERMEDIATE PACKAGE ... FRD-L04C900B300
Later then I tried to install / flash the MM package... the one they give in honor support page, and it worked, but for some unknown reason it shows I have the FRD-C675B140 build numer... and in MODEL only says FRD.
Don't know what happened, it works fine but I can't flash any other versions now and says there are no updates while I expected it to show the Nougat update available OTA.
Anyone has any idea what might have happened or what can I do to return to stock FRD-L04 FIRMWARE?
THanks in advance.
I'm having this same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
Hey don't worry, just download mm firmware from official site then extract UPDATE. APP you'll see recovery and recovery2 files, flash those two files, keep UPADATE.APP file in dload folder and flash the . APP file using three button. That's it you're done :good:
all i know playing with firmware finder is risky., there are a lot of files there you miss flash one of them and its bummer., i am having some similar issue with secondary device P9-Lite VNS-L31 stuck on some B120 firmware on EMUI 4.1.3 MM, now installing a firmware shows software install failed error to me every time in the recovery

It told me the software wasn't compatible.

HONOR 8 Bricked
Hello ,
It happened on my FRD-L04, but I think is the same.
Bootloader is unlocked ?
1. Do you have all drivers installed ? OK
2.Do you have STOCK ROM ? OK. If not, use Huawei Firmare Finder to find suitable ROM. Be aware what you choose !!!
3. Unzipp (WinRar) the ROM.
4.Download and install Huawei Update Extractor. Run Huawei Update Extractor . Choose Update.app from the folder you unzipped the ROM.
5. Select cust.img , boot.img , recovery.img and system.img and extract them on a folder.
6.. Install MultiTool by Team (Multi Tool Team). The instalation will make a folder named UNBRICK.
7. Move the files extracted : cust.img , boot.img , recovery.img and system.img on the folder UNBRICK
8. Run MultiTool . Choose option 6 (unbrick) and after that choose option 2 ( if you already have files on folder UNBRICK)
9. Let the tool finish the job.
NOTE : You must have all drivers installed and the phone in FASTBOOT mode ( turn phone OFF - Press VOL- and insert USB cable simultaneously.)
Good luck !

help I have been installing roms for 10 hours and nothing works

hi i just got a honor 6x and i have been following guides and at one point i had lineage os 13 on the phone but it would only boot to the password screen
so then i side loaded resurrection os 5.7 and it didnt have wifi so i tried upgrading emui and now i can't install any rom it just hangs at "patching ssytem unconditonally"

unknown command [errno] update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip from zip failed
when i try to flash the stock huawei rom
i can run fastboot and twrp but nothing else works. i will paypal 15 dollars to someone who can help me
You can download the full firmware directly from honor, unzip it, and place the update.app file in a dload folder that you create on your sd card. Power of the phone then hold volume up, down, and power at the same time to initiate an automatic flash of the room you downloaded. This will erase everything, so be aware.
1.Download full rom from huawei support site then extract update.app
2.place it in dload folder using twrp (in twrp enable MTP)
3.Now extract the recovery.img from update.app using huawei extractor and flash it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.now power off phone then start phone holding Volume Up ,Volume Down & power button simultaneously
5.it will start updating

I had the same problem once.
You can try to flash the cust partition of your phone. The "device verification failed"-message should disappear then. It's not enough to only flash boot, system and recovery. If there is a problem with the cust partition of your phone you can also have problems with flashing stock roms via "dload"-method.
1. Download the right stock firmware via the huawei firmware finder. You usually have two .zip files (e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip). The image file for the cust partition can be found in the update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip (choose the right one for your model).
2. Unpack update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip and extract the cust partition with the huawei firmware extractor.
3. Put your phone into fastboot mode
4. Use the following command: fastboot flash cust cust.img
5. Try to boot into your stock rom.

bricked honor 8

Hi, i have a honor 8 FRD-L09 unlocked bootloader, I don't know what was the original rom. I can't start it, I tried to install many versions, with dload nothing is working it stops at 5% and gives an error,I achieved to get one at 25% but it then failed but with fastboot and huawei extractor im able to install recovery,boot,system img files but it doesn't changes anything. I have access to erecovery but when I try to connect to a wifi it says that it's a wrong password even though im sure it's the right. If anyone is able to help me it could be nice, Thank you.
I installed twrp recovery but it still boots on emui erecovery.

You need to remove your USB cable to boot on TWRP (press "Power" and "Vol+" buttons, and only release "Power" - only hold "Vol+" - button when first blue screen appears).
If your phone is stuck on message "Device is booting...", you flashed a wrong TWRP version. Ask me if you want to try an another version.
But firstly, did you try this how-to (dload folder method): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/problem-frd-l09-t3596449 ?
Is there a model number written bottom back of your phone? (real FRD-L09 model?)
Good luck! =)

I just tried this dload method but the software installation failed at 30%. I don't even know if flashing twrp is really useful and the number on the back of the phone is FRD-L09. I don't know what to do.

Is it "Rollback package" UPDATE.APP which fail at 30%? Try "firmware B131" UPDATE.APP directly, if you have not.
I don't know about extracting ".img" from an UPDATE.APP file and flashing them... seems dangerous. ^^
If you boot on TWRP, you will be able to follow this thing (use FRD-L09 link and do all steps and step 5. fully: "Dlload For FRD-L09" flash to complete properly): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220

Try this 10 steps, that's the last idea I could give you...
0. Need an unlocked bootloader / Knowing how to boot on bootloader and use adb/fastboot command-line tools. (GUIDE HERE)
1. Download TWRP:
-- 1a) Recent version (EMUI 5.x installed firmware): twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img and use fastboot command to flash it
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
>>>> If phone is stuck on message "device is booting now..." when you try to boot TWRP, use old version.
-- 1b) Old version (EMUI 4.1 installed firmware): twrp-3.0.2-0-frd-modaco-rc1.img and use fastboot command to flash it
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-frd-modaco-rc1.img
2. Download this modded FRD-L09C432B131 firmware (.zip): here
3. Copy the zip file to your SD card. (You can do that when your phone is booted on TWRP: plug your USB cable)
4. In TWRP, go to "Wipe" > "Format Data".
5. In TWRP, go to "Flash" > Select the zip file and flash!
6. When finished, do step 4 again before rebooting your phone!
7. Phone can take some minutes to boot, take it easy! If it works, download "stock" (original) B131 firmware: https://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92101
8. Open the zip file and extract "dload" folder on your computer. Then copy the "dload" folder inside your SD card (root of the SD card).
9. Flash it with "Power" + "Vol-" + "Vol+" buttons.
10. Last step (RECOMMENDED) - Factory reset: how-to
:fingers-crossed:

eRecovery stops at 5% - Bricked?

Hi guys,
so i just had my Honor 8 on Android 7 (EMUI 5.0?) rooted and unlocked but wanted to unroot and relock. I used a tutorial for that but i think i made a mistake.
Now I stuck on the honor 8 bootscreen. I can enter fastmode and the recovery but my battery is always low.
I used the rollback package but it didnt install. Also a factory reset from the stock recovery doesnt work.
I also tried a method from here where you flash the cust.img boot.img recovery.img and the system.img from the stock an then flash the Update.app via eRecovery but this also didnt work. It stucks at 5% and does nothing. I am also not able to get to the eRecovery without pluging in the usb into the pc.
Is there any possibility to save my honor? Data's all saved.
I tried it with the rollback package, the B101 and B131 i think.
Thanks,
Musti

What you can do is to try to flash firmware via TWRP.
Follow this guide (use "FRD-L09" link ofc...): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220
And after TWRP flash, you should flash this firmware (L09 link instead of L19 link of the guide) via dload folder method: FRD-L09C432B131
If you need help to find TWRP version, see my post : here
Do the method where you flash cust.img system.img etc but this time you boot into recovery and factory reset, then just boot, i do this everytime
