Just backup your data,
download the Firmware via XperiFirm & Flash via Flashtool [XperiFirm + the flash tool are part of FlashTool]

i can only find the most recent one that im already on for my carrier, if i choose a different country or carrier will it cause phone call problems?
will this one work although im on optus? and is it a lower firmware?

Look again on that window (it's also in the screenshot),
there clearly is a 5.11 firmware (in the right frame of the app).
Took me also quite some time until I discovered it in the past - I thought I was stuck with only the latest firmware

5.11 is just the update code, it is the latest Android 6.0.1, you can install all regions but default one is much more compatible.
Just download and flash, do not forget to select ALL WIPE options. You have to wipe for downgrade.

You did not follow all steps, if you want to do something you think right, not blame Flashtool or anyone.
FTF should be about 2.6GB-3.0GB..
Clean your PC and do it again..

It's in test version,but if you want maybe try:
Open firmware finder on pc ,start firmware update and copy the link for the firmware you want to flash,the link should be like http:..../..../f1/
And click start the server.
On your phone connect to the same wifi as ur pc,go to wifi settings, click and hold on the connected network,you will see advance settings,fill ip same as the ip of ur pc and port same as the one in firmware finder.
Once done go to update in phone settings and check for updates,you should see a new firmware update.
Hope you will understand.

yeah did that several times , the latest huawei device i had was the mate 7 , i didn't know they locked the update process via the dload method, i wouldn't allowed my gf to buy this phone if i knew , i thought i would be able to fix it quickly but oh well she'll just have to return it, one more reason to make me happy that i opted for the pixel xl instead of the mate 9
I have the LON-L29C636B124 firmware, the app from play store found the B139 for this device/donwloaded/md5 checked/unpacked and moved to the Dload folder bjt when i go the recovery it says there is nothing on that folder.

Do you mean "installation via system update", I enabled that and it installed and ad-on that forced the phone to detect the update... it updated but in the phone info it still has the same number but the security patch is now from December instead of November haha

Doesn't work, downloaded the update, moved to reload folder, starts update and fails verification.
Ok, selected the ota not full B138 it updated, the security patch is december, ank kernel info date also december, but why it shows 126 instead of 138?
Maybe it just updated minor things not the full system?
And after update i do not notice anything.

You don't have to download the update in firmware finder,you only need to activate the server update in firmware finder and change the proxy, after that you go to system update and check for updates.

HELP Honor 8 Boot-Loop After OTA out of the box [FRD-L19].

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

Hi I also have L19 and trying to update to B380 from B360 thru OTA using Firmware Finder. And your issue happened to me. It just bootloops then goes to eRecovery but it has error " Getting package into failed".
So can you help me step by step on how you fixed your phone? Thanks!
Tried using Rollback package. but now my new error is "Data partition was damaged seriously! ..."
I dont know what to do anymore, I just bought this phone 5 days ago, sad life.

Have you unlocked bootloader? If no try install B360 via dload method. B360 download over Firmware Finder

I just checked the fastboot mode it says:
Phone Locked
FRP Lock
1. what to do to unlock bootloader?
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
Rommco05 said:
2. Try remove password from your wifi connection and again try download recovery
Or, download full firmware B360 (2 zips) unzip both and separately put to dload foldet on sdcard

This is what I'm doing now downloading FRD-L19C636B360 Full OTA which is 1.4GB from boycracked.com then will use the 3 button combo to install it using dload folder in the sd card. Still waiting to download the file. Will update you once tried
What do you mean by the "(2 zips)" ? What I only know it has UPDATE.APP.

Sorry bout d questions, m really noob, it's my 1st huawei device

I might still be able to finish the download after 6 hours since it's only running around 50kb/s, server is too slow. I hope this goes really well, will give update tom thanks!

I followed d FF video from youtube by MT team, I dont know what became d problem in d installation of d b380 update and made this to my unit.
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?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Im now in the process of installing the 2nd file you gave thru 3 combo, lets see if it gives me a keyboard.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I was away from the website for some time hoping someone can reach out, and yet there you are!
Well i actually got over the issue with the voice from Google and I have a keyboard now , but there are somethings out of place on my phone, like for example the clock is gone , my precious Notepad is gone as well along with all the important notes, before I attempted to root my device I made a full back up ( the root on my phone is terribly difficult, can't find a good guide that fits my need to do it safely.
My build number is: FRD-L09C1858B387

And I want to get my clock back and more importantly to get the notes from notepad back :/

Did not post any guide..
Its simple..but you need correct files to do it successfully..
Download correct stock firmware file
Correct I mean according to you model and build number.
The firmware number should be same or higher ..
If you have any question post here.

if i want to flash the stock firmware i should do it with which tool ? is it the same tool that is used with rooting which is TWRP , or do i use something else
and when you say the correct files , is the file required for this process called update.zip?

No tool is needed , you just need to place the correct UPDATE.APP (downloaded from honor official site) in a folder called dload a
at the root of your SD card, shut down your phone then hold power + both volume buttons. When the phone is starting release the power button but keep holding volume buttons. It should start installing the firmware.
If it doesn't work you probably need to install a stock recovery and retry.
If the firmware you have chosen is the wrong one the phone won't accept it . (Upgrade failed)
Please take note that if the process succeed it will erase all your data, you should take a backup before
Good luck bro even if it isn't a tough process, and let us know the end of the story

Power up the phone by pressing three button(power button, vol+ and vol- button)

I want to try to root and fix my phone before the weekend started so I can have fun, can I annoy you or anyone else with this?
I need to get help with two things, first get the flash on my FRD-L09 FRD-L09C185B387, emui 5 androids 7.0 and get my notepad and clock back, second, i need to root it, in the right way with no issues.
Thanks best regards
To root it you first need to install a clean ROM without missing apps. In order to do that you need to perform the dload method that I detailed previously.
Then unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, flash superSU and you're rooted

Xperia XA2 Ultra H3223 Looking for Pure Rom or Debloat Script

I just bought this phone today but its full of bloat from Claro and Telcel, id like to know if theres a rom that i can download that have only stock sony apps without all that bloat like the samsung phones, or if theres a debloat script to remove it all, cause right now the only way i see to debloat a bit is by rooting and removing manually the apps myself

Try XperiFirm or search Android File Host for H3223. Use H3223_Customized...... or H3223_Commercial and Journalists or H3223_Service Exchange Unit. These have the least amount of bloat.

Just checked Android File Host, there are only older firmwares below 5.59. XperiFirm have only one 5.59 - Commercial and Journalists. You can use this one.

You can use Newflasher here on XDA. Download it, unpack to a new directory, copy all firmware files and the boot directory to this directory, connect your phone in Download Mode and run Newflasher as admin. Answer "n" two times and wait a bit...

I personally have FlashTool installed on my PC. It brings the possibility to install Sony-specific USB drivers (flashtool/drivers).
Or you can try Official Sony Drivers (2. Install the device drivers and platform tools), though never used these

why? is there a way to at least remove the anoying black screen asking me to relock bootloader when i start my phone after a full shutdown?

Nope. Sony do not allow re-locking bootloader. The black screen is in the kernel. You can try build your own kernel from sources with Sony Open Devices Program, but even then i am not sure you can remove the black screen.

You should Press n Just for the First 2 Options. The last One should be Yes or You're Stuck with parts of the old Firmware
