I was using firmware finder to update my sister's new phone to Nougat. There were 2 downloads for the first nougat firmware and I think I got the wrong one because it rejected the next update. Can anyone confirm or explain?
Thanks
Some update packages simply don't work . It also happened to me when downgraded my BLL-L23 to MM, then upgraded to Nougat, but some OTAs got rejected. I would suggest you to try the next OTA package, or maybe to flash an "OTA/FULL" package with Nougat.
I already tried a couple of full packages... I'll just work through them in order then. Thanks.

OTA remains the best method for official updates... It never misses a shot. Never used FF, but the results that come out from a research are just too many packages... Even wrong sometimes, as you could verify

Yup but sadly they don't always show up
Hi, sorry to bump again. I've tried all the packages and had no luck, all of them failed to authenticate.
So how is your sister's state of mind ?
You should only install updates ending with PV. Put the update.app (unzipped) in a file called dload. The others should only work via Twrp recovery (did not test).

Don't understand that comment. I'm trying to do ota via proxy method not flash via dload or twrp.
Try with a rollback package

Hay Guys,
There are many many people with Huawei Honor 6x BLN-L21C185, the one which is released in the middle east region and may the same in the European countries too. But the number starting with C and after the L21 is very much crucial in Huawei type of devices, because I've tried three to four rollback packages available for BLN-L21, to go back to MM and got failed in the middle. With the same error every time.
May you guys out there have experienced or seen such rollback package for this specific version?
OR can you guys share what to do if there is no option to rollback at all.

Well, I don't know exactly because after B131 I have never used official OTA to update or simply official OTA didn't work bcz I've used FF to flash B342 (the beta version) of Nougat without registering for beta version. So, FF has been my updater app, indeed it was available in the settings menu but it didn't work bring any OTA update for my device at all. But for last 7 months and some three updates my device's theme had no problem, it didn't had FM radio though.
But now after I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp and rooted the device to check whether I could install LineageOS 14.1 or not, the theme is not working too. I failed to install LineageOS and flashed B360 recovery via fastboot and than flashed B360 ROM via dload method and official recovery.
The other time I flashed Magisk just to try, but failed again to flash LineageOS. And the same procedure to come back to official rom.
Moral is; I still don't have FM radio in my phone and the worst is its theme is not working too. Its official updater also doesn't work for OTAs, I have almost bricked my device once.
Can some guy give me a link to the official B360 or B361 for BLN-L21C185 which would have FM radio in and working theme? Because all the FF suggested roms have FM fix in the included other zip which i have flashed indeed but it does not solve the problems of theme now, and also can't bring FM radio.

Rooting back isn't a big issue man, my concern is the way we work on. Because this phone is my main day to day dude so I have to make it usable every minut.
By the way do you think there is a way out there to go back to a working B130 by having root access.
OR simply
If you could tell me how to ditch out required files from update.app, may be we would work a little harder on it. I have used the winrar but it couldn't ditch out files. I think if we would know what version of stock rom has FM app and we would flash it via adb fastboot, it might have done the job.
OR simply by pushing FM app in the current stock rom and than unrooting and unlookcking the bootloader, is it so easy that I am so excited?

Nope. We can go to b130 without root.
My suggestion for root was to flash the the radio apk manually to system to integrate it.
We have similar things when on 5X, system messaging app was missing in rom, we pushed it manually and had it working

So, let's get started on how to push the FM radio in the system to get it working, are gonna guide me step by step or we have a separate thread on such kind of things?
BTW how do we get the FM radio? Is it the same apk which is available in the "update_data_full_BLN-21_hw_meafnaf.zip" and we can get it in the data>hw_init>product>app>HwFMRadio or something else is gonna be done?

only way to get back fm radio app

donwnload via proxy the 3 Firmware file
and you have fm radio on your phone and other missed apps
Hi everyone.
I am facing a LOT of troubles with my phone (as stated in this thread).
Anyway now I have again unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 3.1.1, rooted but I have a strange ROM installed by a service tech shop after the phone became unusable.
The problem is that this ROM does not show an update option in settings so I am stuck at 1st march security patches.
Here attached my actual Build Prop file.
The ROM seems to be a BLN-L21C900B300 (never heard of this and not even found on Firmware Finder) and the fingerprints show a "test keys" rom:
device: HWBLN-H
Display: BLN-L21C900B300
Fingerprint: Huawei/generic_a15/generic_a15:7.0/NRD90M/jslave04010520/:user/test keys
If I try to flash via TWRP a BLN-L21C432B360 (which was my previous stock ROM) it does not work and on TWRP appears the following:
......
write radio image
check_write_data_to_partition
write data error
E; unknown command (errno)
update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
updater process ended with ERROR: 7
error installing zip file '/external_sd/update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu_zip'
I cannot flash the FULL zip file with the core of the ROM but I can luckily flash the data, so I could get back Radio Fm and possibility to install themes....
To make the story short: is there someone who knows what this error is? Maybe I can get a solution.
Moreover: maybe this strange "device: HWBLN-H Display: BLN-L21C900B300 Fingerprint: Huawei/generic_a15/generic_a15:7.0/NRD90M/jslave04010520/:user/test keys" is preventing me to flash?
Changing build prop file can be useful?
Thanks to all.

I forgot to mention: dload not working. Always error.
That's why I think TWRP is the only solution
B300 (at least for the BLN-L24) is the first of two update packages to rollback from Nougat to MM. The first update will take you from the latest firmware to B300 and then the second update will complete the rollback to your device's stock firmware.
dload this package to complete the rollback then do a factory reset and wipe cache partition in stock recovery. After that download and update to the latest firmware and proceed to unlock BL and flash twrp and you should be good to go.

And before doing it I have to flash the stock recovery?
My phone was, we can say, flashed in some way by the tech shop to this strange version of Nougat and with the "test keys" fingertips.
With the files you provide I should "dload"?
I do not understand your post.

Download the zip I linked above from Huawei website. Extract the update.app and put it in dload folder on your external SD card and force flash (power vol - vol +). It will flash all the stock images and return your phone to factory firmware android 6.0 EMUI 4.1. It might bootloop after this but booting into stock recovery (power vol +) and perform factory reset followed by wipe cache partition will get you booting. Then you can OTA update to latest firmware and root again.
Well, I will try this weekend. Now the risk to stay without phone during working days is too high
Ah, BTW, thanks for suggestion.

Since you have nothing to lose right now just try the whole rollback process. Here is the update that the service center used to get your phone to BLN-L21C900B300. You can try flashing that again through dload or skip to trying to flash this. There are two different firmwares listed as the 2nd part of the rollback and you already said the last one I gave you failed so give this one a shot. Let me know how it works out for you:good:

Have you tried the Team MT huawei multitool to flash the images from the firmware? Use the Huawei update extractor tool to get the boot,cust,recovery,system and userdata.img from the firmware you tried to flash and then put them in the unbrick folder in the multi tool. Put phone in fastboot and run the Multi tool and use the unbrick option. I know your phone is not bricked but this way it will flash all 5 images in order through fastboot. You could actually try and flash the most current firmware with this method and avoid having to system update from MM to Nougat.
yes, exactly, I am trying with multitool . another bro suggested me how to do it even if with a slightly different method.
"You need flash the oeminfo via multi tool and then same firmware file for your current version via dload. It should be fixed".
WTF....never sweat so much for a phone. And never had those problems flashing samsung... and I was flashaholic
Yes, I have learned so much about this phone and the flashing/brick/unbrick process in the last 2 weeks.

When I go to multitool "unbrick", it asks for custom.img, but in no update.app of my firmware is present.
Moreover now I just can enter erecovery. It does not boot. I can enter fastboot only. Multitool is now not recognizing the phone. Do you know how to proceed?
I put in dload the firmware .app, but it says "software install failed"
Pheew...I managed to have again that fuc..ng C900B300.
I entered fastboot and repeated the unlock bootloader process. That way the phone got a hard reset and started over. Believe me when I say I tried all the methods I knew.
I think there is something locked somewhere in my partitions (I am not an expert of course) that prevent me to do deep modifications. Now I just can TWRP data but not the core. And again I have no update option. I think I am stuck forever at this stage with 1st march patches and nougat 7.0.
I do not think I will be ever able to have Oreo.
Amen. I am really tired to waste my time with this s**t. Next phone will be again a Samsung or One+. Full stop. Stop chinese brands.
Where are you located, Europe?
Yes
Ok bro I really hope this is it. Full firmware BLN-L21C432B151. I already downloaded it myself and checked with extractor tool it has all the images you need. Since you have fastboot back use the multi tool unbrick again and now that you have all the necessary images cross your fingers it will work.
And I agree with you about the phone. Made up my mind im giving this turd to my sister and getting the OP5T in a few weeks.
Thanks. I will do it this weekend. Today I spent 5 hours to get back my configuration after the hard reset with the apps I use for work. Cannot risk again tomorrow.
In another thread, sashank suggested to change OEM file because probably phone doesn't recognize the firmware I want to install.
It didn't work and lead me to start from scratch with the same strange build.
I will try your method but first I must study better the procedure because I don't want to mess up everything and risking to throw the phone in the garbage (where it belongs in the end...).
Thanks.
Hello! So I tried flashing a custom ROM to my friends Honor 8 after reading around a bit and such but it ultimately failed and now we're trying to get it back to the default ROM. We found a ROM download but it was for the version FRD-l09C900B120 which was running EMUI4.0 and Android 6.0. I also read that the "C" version he has doesn't receive any further updates, I'm failing to find anything on the correct "C" version anywhere. If anyone could guide me through the installation process for the correct and latest firmware it would be great!
On another note, the build in eRecovery doesn't seem to want to install the update package. It always fails pretty early on after connecting to WiFi, any fix for that would be great. Thanks!
Thanks for any help!
On which ROM was the custom ROM based? You should try to flash the rollback package with dload method and then flash B120 or another EMUI 4.X ROM with same method

The custom ROM was Linageos 14.1, so it wasn't anything EMUI based.
I'm gonna try and manually flash the ROM from an update.app that we downloaded from the app Firmware Finder.

We did not make a twrp backup (In hindsight we should've....)
We don't have twrp on it right not but can be fixed if needed.
We were on the latest update available to the phone which should be latest today as well. (OTA)
Flashing it manually made the phone enter a bootloop. It didn't even start the firmware. Any suggestions?
EDIT: We got into Fastboot. What are our options?
Right now your best option in my opinion is to flash Boot.img, recovery.img,cust.img and system.img that you will extract from the UPDATE.APP of your CURRENT Rom. Then just try the dload method again and again, it may not accept the firmware you try to flash but in this case just try another, but not a lower one because you need the rollback package to do that

What should we do after we've flashed TWRP? When I tried flashing LineageOS 14 it decided to fail the installation somehow and be at an endless boot animation. So I'd like to get the phone restored to EMUI5.0.

Well currently there's a broken firmware on it of FRD-L09C432B943... Or something like that.
I think at this point he's looking at getting a new phone all together.
No matter if the firmware inside isn't working properly, with fastboot you can manually flash each partition that is needed as long as USB debugging is enabled and bootloader unlocked. After flashing these cleans parts you can properly use the dload method , and if you get an error using dload method can you tell me which one is it? At least the device behavior.
I have to sleep, I'll be right back on the morning hope you'll make it this night , if don't , please be more specific and accurate when you describe the errors you faced, that way we will be more efficient when answering

Sorry for language mistakes, English isn't my native language :silly:

Currently there's no working OS on it so I'm gonna see if I can find a firmware that I can flash. Do you have any idea where I can get one?
Yeah on honor official site: Hihonor
Or with firmware finder

If you need a full firmware then you should visit official honor site..
If you flash LineageOS on a phone without OS it won't work just because LineageOS patch the current installed System, if there is no system there is no way it will boot

I can't find any Honor 8 FRD-L09 downloads anywhere on the Huawei sites or Honor sites. They must've removed the downloads just like they did with the Honor 7..

I get that now and I know how to proceed in the future.
On another note, I got a good UPDATE.APP available but it refuses to install using the dload method because the versions are different. Does anyone know which partition the USERDATA.img file goes to?
You don't have to flash each single partition but dude in my opinion it's better to flash the whole UPDATE.APP, just use the rollback package and flash a lower EMUI.
Another thing: I'm currently on honor official site and I can download firmwares, you're searching in the wrong place.

Thank you for that link, I downloaded it and flashed it, I couldn't find it on any other hihonor site but this French one had it.
Again, thank you, it worked flawlessly installing and it updated instantly. You saved me from a lot of worrying and anxiety about breaking my friends phone lol.
I'm really glad to read that dude
thanks for the firmware been looking for it for very long!
btw you just saved another honor 8
I need help! I often softbrick my device, but can be fixed by using official 6.0 update.app However updating back to emui 5 takes way too long. But every firmware i download from huawei firmware finder isn't valid for dload for some reason! Help!
Did you already tried with firmwares listed as "FullOTA-MF-PV" available on hwmt.ru site, section firmware database? The Point Version is a firmware that must work while you're executing a dload method flash, the safest usually.
What's your build number? I'll provide a valid firmware to use with dload method.
BLN-L21C432 but i didnt see any MF-PV for b360+ so i dont think there are... that, or i am blind
Use team mt tool extract update.app from firmware and use Huawei extracter to provide required file

Yeah, latest is B360, EMUI 5. Dload it and then update regularly to latest build, B371.

The biggest one with dload method first of all, then the other two dload too (or flash by TWRP)
TWRP says command unknown, and how am i supposed to flash the second one? (There is no third file) Do i dload big one, then boot to EMUI, then shutdown, extract SD, switch dload folder, and install the second?
Refer to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
i have also same issue with my honor 6x not working dload installing failed on 5%

Did the failure brick your phone? or the phone just reboots itself normally? are you sure that your firmware is approved first for installtion before you apply it? (you can know this using Firmware Finder by checking if it's approved first or not for installation by Huawei)
Hello guys,
long story short, I had the notification that a new update was released for my honor 8 FRD-L09C432 (B403, I was on B402), so, since I was rooted and with TWRP installed, I decided to unroot and install the original eRecovery.
Something went wrong and the system was damaged, so I flashed the B360 version first and after the B394. Now the phone is working really good but I can't install the new versions (B402 or 403). I tried:
flash the update from TWRP, not working
search the update from the dedicated option in the settings, no update found
tried to have it from the original eRecovery, error to find the info from the server.
tried also to update from the version B394 before unlock the bootloader, but it failed.
Am I missing something?
Use the get update through DNS thing in FF. It worked for me at least. Make sure the firmware is approved.

Hi Days Tech, could you please explain better what do you mean? Is there a link of some tut that I can follow?
Thanks!
Ok now I have the point, thanks for this tip!:good:
Flash TWRP.
use data.zip file and flash it via TWRP. (only download from FullOTA-MF PV file)
reboot and you are done. you will have updater in settings.
now you can flash the update.zip file via dload.
