Guide: Huawei Rollback and firmware version change guide; Back TO BLN-L21C185

To get to Andorid 7, I used Firmware finder method as send to updated and flashed "BLN-L21C432B342" Firmware finder send to update method.
Most of the updated using from: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=bln but it does not have second update package which is needed to flash to get the updater app and others.
Guide to get back to BLN-L21C185
DIAL: *#*#2846579#*#*
GO TO : 2.Veneer Information >
1.Version info >>Manufacture Information is your actual model: (my is: BERLIN_L21 i.e.: BLN-L21)
Scroll to end there will be current version, this is the version you need to use to roll back.
My was Bln-l24
1. So i downloaded the BLN-L24 USA Roll back package.
2. And downloaded the BLN-L24 Latest Andorid 6 update. (BLN-L24C567B110)
both FROM: http://www.huawei.com/usmobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm
Above are flashed using Sd card dload method and they worked. 1st flash roll back package and let the phone start to normal than again flash the android 6 package "BLN-L24C567B110".
Now you are back to BLN-L24 but setting is showing BLN-L110.
Anyways now you have updater app back so use the same method to get back to BLN-L21C185B131 (android mm).
I did not roll back and instead flashed BLN-L21C185B342 as it is available now, using firmware finder send to update: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 and bingo back to C185 andorid 7 with updater app.
FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE IN THE END.

My phone was on BLN-L21C185B131. I installed firmware finder on my PC and downloaded BLN-L21C185B342 from there. From update.zip extracted update.app and installed using dload method. At the end of the update the message was something like "update failed". Now "System update" is missing in settings, factory reset is not working properly (it resets the phone but there is a message during the reset that Factory reset failed) and the build number is "NRD90M test-keys".
Please advice how I can fix it. Tnx

You should have used the method sent to updater.. anyways you have to flash the second half part of it.. "
update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip"
I am uploading the second part which you should be able to flash using dload to get the complete update with updater working.
Will share the link soon.

How is it

What about themes app is it work and are there a rollback package if you didn't like it

First of all thanks for this wonderful post, you did a great job.
Don't mind it but you have made a great post, without a great title/name, so i suggest you to modify the title of the post, these kind of posts are very helpful for people like me and others but most of the people out there use google to search help they don't know the XDA, so if you modify and give a better title to your thread it will be easily found by searchers.
Lastly what is the main difference of numbers after BLN-L21 i.e. mine is L21C185 on the about phone but the hidden info *#*#2846579#*#* and Veneer Information and version information says at Manufacturer Information BERLIN_L21_VN1 AP Version is L21C900B131_SYSTEM while the Parameter Version says C185, NOW what is my devices real name and which firmware should i be downloading for my device if i want to roll back to 6.0.1?

Hi, i understand if information is not easy to find it of little value suggest me a name and i will change it.
If you are on android 7 you need to first download the roll back package of the "version component version" showing in veneer info and flash it, then flash the same version android 6 latest package. Then use the firmware finder send to update method to get back to your real version either andoid 6 or android 7 as your prefer.
I have seen c185 is used used for middle east market.
"Manufacturer version" is your real device variant. (your need to download this to roll back with the roll back package if your are on android 7)
"version component version" is your current installed firmware Version.
Ideally they should be same but if firmware finder is used to install different variant firmware, to get to a newer android version or for some other reason than these both miss match.

Well, I am sorry but you again jumbled a lot of things just in some lines which didn't help me.
For your thread i would suggest the name "Honor 6x L21 downgrading/going back to B130 or B131 or B120" whatever file version you used to go back to 6.0.1.
As i have said before, i am have an Honor 6x BLN-L21C185 which is now on B131 stage of update but i want to upgrade to B342, while Phonenix1024 on this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71578919&postcount=134 thread suggested me to role back to B130 and then update to B342 via Firmware finder. What is your suggestion and what is your experience BTW.
I am sorry again if i was a little out spoken!

@Tangra , It has been suggested by some guys on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71578919&postcount=134 , that we should go back to B130 and do not update to B131 but install firmware finder and directly upgrade to B342. So it was your bad luck that you are facing this but as Omair said you can flash his file or just download the B130 for your device model and follow the dload instructions to give a new life to your device. God bless you.

Well your question is more correct now.. So here is the simple answer.
No need to go back to 130 ...I also upgraded from 131. See my first post and update using firmware finder but using the method send to updater see the setting of firmware finder as you will need to do some proxy setting.
For the second file question as I explained in a reply to another member its a second part flash file to upgrade to android 7. Only if you upgraded using dload method.
The file is for bln-l21c185.

@talvigi its a second part flash file you need to flash in order to get full functionality on android 7. This file is only needed if android 7 update is made using dload. This will also give your correct version in about and updater app. If update is made using firmware finder sent to updater method than this file is automatically downloaded and flashed in updating process. I got this file from the updater folder.

Oh, no yaar, @Omair.anwar I have already formated my device this morning, because it was download the full update file send by firmware finder to my updater.
But i am still on B131, so according to you i should directly upgrade to B342 and i shouldn't go back to B130. BUT you said you had problems in B342 like no update options etc, may be this was just because you upgraded from B131?
@Omair.anwar if you live near by me in Pak please answer me that in the firmware finder should i choose the FullOTA-MF-PV size 2.352GB? my number is zero three two double zero two six one double six zero. Thanks

I am not sure.. it should work fine if you Will use firmware finder with "installation via system update" and "view OTA updates" in setting.
If you want make sure, then after updater had downloaded 100% go to internal storage there will be a folder named something like OUC and see in its sub folders there should be two files one named update.zip and another named like "update data full".
I had the problem because I flashed different version firmware.

Hi ! i have one question
After RollBack package flashed can i flash directly BLN-L21C432B130 or i flash the BLN-L24 Before ?????
I have my answer i can't flash directly my french firmware ...
It's the brothel to return to Android 6.0 compared to nexus or samsung devices XD i like challenge

Thank you for the link. I unzipped "update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" and dropped the content in dload folder on SD card. Flashed from Engineering mode menu and everything on the phone works correctly now.
I was trying to locate this file "update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" by myself with no success. i'm curious how did you find it and is there a link for this file somewhere on hicloud servers. I see that for EU version off the phone this file is available for direct download from there.
Anyways, you did amazing job and your post will help many people I guess. Thank you!
P.S. I noticed after I posted my remarks that you've got "update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" from your Updater App folder - great job and hopefully somebody will find the link for direct download from hicloud servers

Hi if you flashed Bln-l24 roll back and it worked than you can still flash bln-l24 android 6 package and after that use the firmware finder with correct settings to get back to bln-l21.
See pic attached for settings and read my very first post too.
I hope I understood your concern well.

MHA-L29 still no update

Will my MHA-L29C63B158 ever going to get an update?

Mine is MHA-L29 C636 version 181

Try firmware finder or https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
The the flash update guide requires you to unlock bootloader and flash twrp, both are restored after update though.

Thank you but I rather not deal with flashing. Im afraid im gonna mess things up

Mazinya- mine is on 190. Try turning it off and leave it iff for 10 minutes or so. Then start it up and check. You could ask your provider why you aren't getting the OTA or maybe ask Huawei support.

Mine is also unlocked. Bought from Gearbest. I assume this is Asian version. My provider has nothing to do with this

hello there, i just got my mate 9 2 days ago and trying to learn all the stuff on this phone. i used to own an oneplus 3. so i have the same asia mate 9 i guess cause on my research i knew c636 is for asia. my build number is MHA-LC29C636B158 and i tried checking for updates.. its saying no update. im gonna try to stick this phone to everything stock. hopefully to get OTA updates or other alternative way to update this phone.

Just use Firmware finder. It doesn't require root, unlocking, flashing and so on. Follow the instruction and then check standard update app on your phone - you'll see new firmware notification. I've updated my C636 from 158 to 172 and then to 181 without any issue using FF. Good luck!

I've always picked the highest one in the list with largest size - FullOTA. Update worked like charm.
One more thing, as soon as download process starts you should pause it, uncheck proxy in WiFi settings and restore your download. :good:

No, check the video again. In the end (1:18) you are asked to enble proxy in your device's WiFi settings. Right after that you go to update app on your phone, check for udates. As soon as you find it and start downloading you have to pause it, disable proxy in WiFi settings and proceed with downloading and installing.

But I guess.It make changes in Data file but not in core way.I need to install completely fresh firmware for my region.

Old firmware?

Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

Ah thanks both. I've just had a look at that site and firmware finder. As there doesn't seem to be an OTA update heading my way I might give firmware finder a bash. Many thanks.

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build

I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.

Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.

i m not able to install stock recovery i m on twrp AND THERE IS NO OS IN MY PHONE
vendor and product partitions are completely empty
not able to boot at all not installing any rom zip as saying not able to mount vendor
how to flash vendor and product i tried with fastboot but it says remote command not allowed and tried installing stock recoery by fastboot and it installs successfully but when i boot recovery there is only twrp everytime
without stock i cant use dload method and stock is not installing and custom roms are also not installing

Hey guys.
after a download with firmware finder,I found this problem: ????
failed to authenticate installation passage.This package is unauthorized and will be deleted.Please download and install an authorized installation package.
Help me.my build number is b361 and I want to update to b380

how to change the name of a file in /vendor back?

i did a dumb thing: i changed the name of two files in /vendor and now when i boot my phone it boots into huawei eRecovery.
when i am in eRecovery i have three options:
download latest version and recovery (witch doesn't work), reboot and shutdown
when i opened twrp i tried changing the file names back but that failed with 1 error
i also tried to do a factory reset with twrp when it was done (with out errors) i tried to boot my phone up but it whent in eRecovery again.
please leave a comment if you know a simillar thread or fix
this is my first thread so if this is the wrong place for this thread i'm sorry

Welcome to the Huawei messy world
Dont worry, you in right section.
Give me your model and build number before all these mess. There could be a way to restore this. Give me your build and model number.

Hi shashank, thanks for responding so quickly.
But I don't know my build and model number, because I can't get into my phone. Is there a way to see it without booting in android?

I used the first file and it kinda worked
When I boot my phone it sais your device has failed verification and may not work properly in red and I can't install a system update
Should I flash the other file?
I checked my model and build number and they are:
Model: BLN-L21
Build: BLN-L21C432B367
