Rebranding Honor 8 FRD-AL10 to FRD-L19 is Easy
I converted two mint FRD-AL10 to FRD-L19 versions yesterday. They have since both taken OTA updates over WiFi. One is at FRDL19C432B360 and the other took an additional update to FRDL19C432B380. I am in the Western United States, the phones know they are here too, but believe they are destined for Europe. When I take a local call, a +1 automatically shows up in front of the number on the call log. When I browse to Yahoo the phone goes to the Yahoo United Kingdom and Ireland home page. The FRD-AL10 phones were both at EMUI 5.0 and Android 7.0 and still at EMUI 5.0 and Android 7.0 after being rebranded to FRD-L19 UK. Everything works including dual SIMs. There is no remnant of Chinese apps, no pinyin characters anywhere. There are absolutely no problems. You do not need to root your phone with this method and you will end up with factory new like European firmware load.
Search these forums and obtain the following files:
Huwaei USB Drivers
DC Unlocker client
Minimal ADB and Fastboot

FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip
Format an SDXD memory card. Make sure it is class 10 speed.
Unarchive the rollback package and copy the entire dload folder to the SD card root directory.
Copy FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip to the SD card root folder.
Install the Huwaei USB drivers on your PC and phone.
Install DC Unlocker client on your phone.
Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Copy twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img into the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Enable USB debugging on your phone. Enter the system app and tap your build number 5 times and the developer mode becomes available.
In developer mode enable USB debugging and if OEM unlock is there, turn it on. It will likely not be there on the Chinese version, so if you don't see OEM unlock don't worry.
Accept the USB prompts on your phone. Reject communication with Huwaei Suite, Huwaei App, etc., and close them.
Follow the DC Unlocker instructions, buy credit with PayPal, and write down the bootloader code when you see it.
Unlock the bootloader. Open a command prompt in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Enter
adb devices
The response should return the serial number of your phone proving USB communication
Enter
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone should now display the fastboot recovery screen
Enter
fastboot devices
The response should return the serial number of your phone
Enter
fastboot OEM unlock [your boot code here]
Your phone will factory reset and is now unlocked. Power down and reboot the phone.
Go to system app, developer, and turn on USB debugging, as before accept USB prompts, and reject and close Huwaei apps.
Open a command prompt in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Enter
adb devices
Enter
adb reboot bootloader
The phone should now once again be at the fastboot recovery screen
Enter
fastboot devices
If your phone’s serial number is returned, you have communication.
Now install TWRP.
Enter
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
When the flash writing is done install the SD card and enter
flashboot reboot
Hold down the volume up and power buttons as the phone boots up, you can release the power button at the blue honor screen, but continue to hold down the volume up until you see TWRP.
Tap the install button
Tap Select storage and select the SD card.
Select the FRD-L19C432B131-hw-eu-OPU_TWRP_FRD.zip file and swipe to flash.
When the flashing is done, your oem.info has been changed to Europe.
Select reboot to system.
Hold down volume up, volume down and power simultaneously while it reboots, continue to hold until the phone is in Huwaei erecovery mode.
Erecovery will force the phone to install the update.app file in the dload folder from the sd card. It will take several minutes.
When complete let the phone reboot on its own and hookup WiFi, enable USB debugging and let Huwaei apps hookup. Your phone will appear to be a legitimate European model to the network and will immediately begin to take OTA updates. Your boot loader is locked again, you are not rooted, TWRP is gone and you have a stock UK European version FRD-L19 in your hands.

It looks like you are trying to flash a stock recovery cn.img
If you are at EMUI 5 and I think you are, use the twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
It will decrypt the encryption. Other recovery images here cannot decrypt and you must reformat the data partion to use them with EMUI 5. Also, if you root use the SuperSU vesion available from these forums specifically for use with EMUI 5 in the file name. Search for it. Again encryption is involved.
If you can get into fastboot you can fix it. At the bottom of the fastboot screen it should say phone unlocked. If it says locked you will need to unlock the bootloader again.
Always make sure you have USB communication between fastboot and the phone. For some reason Huwaei phones will sometimes disable USB debugging with power down and power up. You need to check each time.

Rollback to EMUI 4.1 C900B300 UK
Search for EMUI 4.1_C900B300, find and use the update.app in this file
Honor%208_Rollback%20Package_FRD-L19_from%20Android%207.0%20EMUI%205.0%20to%20Android%206.0%20EMUI%204.1_C900B300_UK.rar
This is the official Huwaei FRD-L19 rollback package. It rolls your firmware back to the first UK European release of the FRD-L19. It is a full firmware load and will replace everything.
If you get this on your phone, before erecovery is complete or immediately after, your phone will begin taking OTA updates and all will be fine.
If you can get into flashboot, you should be able to get into erecovery, put dload/update.app in the root folder of your sd card, hold volume up, volume down and power throughout bootup.
If erecovery fails the oem info on your phone is not set to europe. Find and install the MT Huwaei Multi-Tool version 7 from the MT forum. Use it to change your oem info and try erecovery again.
The Multi-Tool can do much more without the need to type individual lines of adb and fastboot commands. To run, you execute one of the .bat files in a command window. You will only have two command menu language choices, Russian or English. Choose ru.bat or en.bat accordingly. Try the menu commands without your phone plugged in first.
Thanks friend. I will try id after work. Today in night i tried install rollback(al19 UK) and romC432B131-UK downloaded by hihonor.com. Install by DLOAD folder not work :/ while i pressed three button Phone switch on and stop on (HONOR ON BLUE SCREEN). Install not opened why? Next i tried install only ROM by fastboot. All files install successfull, but recovery.img not work. (maybe file is damaged?) Finally i repeat installed successfull chinese marshmallow b135.
Anyone have good download link working Al19 rom for my AL10?

Hi,
I was on B386 before (Nougat)
Flashing RR-N-v5.8.4 gives this error:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.
Updater process ended with ERROR 7
Any idea ?
Thanks !
PS : This error also prevents me to install B390, B383, B182. Only B360 can be installed from TWRP.

my p9 i do the things as you saying but it when it goes on fastboot stack on screen your devise is booting now...wont open and at adb says waiting for devise nothing else what to do ?
To get into fastboot mode you keep the phone plugged into computer and hold power and volume down until you get to the white fastboot screen.
There is no need to wait for the battery to drain as you can just force shut down a phone using power + volume down holding.

Hi
I came here because i tried to install miui on my P9 via trwp , somehow it wasnt mountable and after searching the internet i found the solution was to change the filetype.
Sadly i forgot that this would delete my backup, which happened and the miui still wasnt mountable.
I tried your method but after a few miliseconds of the forced update it gets an error and stops.
Or lets say i tried your method while being in trwp recovery mode because otherwise no devices are being detected by adb tool.
i tried to install a p9 stock rom but i cant even mount that one, somehow nothing works.
I seriously dont know what to do anymore.
Try this...
Try to flash downgrade firmware...
Rollback Instructions
Step 1. Download the appropriate rollback firmware
Step 2. Copy the extracted dload folder to the external storage of your phone (micro sd card).
Step 4. Disconnect the USB cable and turn your phone off.
Step 5. Now hold Volume up + Volume down + Power buttons until the installation screen appears.
Step 6. When the phone restarts after completing the installation, your firmware version should now be “B300”.
Step 7. Try to find oldest marshmallow firmware and flash it using same way...

That's the problem, when playing with ROMs you must take carw that you keep OEM Unlocked.
Maybe DC-Unlocker (paid) can help

I was running the Ephemeral Mate 9 B225 ROM on AL00. It worked well but I wasn't satisfied with the custom ROM.
So I decided to rebrand to MHA-L29 and run a stock rom.
I started converting my MHA-AL00 (B225) to MHA-L29 using this guide: Link
I've override the L29C636 OEMinfo while keeping the other 5 existing files of the original OEMinfo intact. (See attachment for original OEMinfo files)
I got stuck after restoring the new OEMinfo through TWRP recovery as stated in the guide.
The phone booted up and started the installation of the new firmware. When completed it did a reboot but it never started up again.
Now my phones doesn't respond to input from physical buttons although my PC does recognise a decive as "HI3650". In device manager it also shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface".
Summary of process followed:
1. Bootloader unlocked
2. Instaled TWRP
3. Flashed Ephemeral Mate 9
4. Did a OEMinfo back-up
5. Changed AL00B225 OEMinfo to L29C636 oeminfo
6. TWRP back-up recovery
Next step should be to unlock the bootloader and instal TWRP again but I can't get to interact with the phone at this stage.
Can anyone point to what I did wrong and/or advice me on the next steps I could take?
Use this link mate, always succeed for me, dont need to do anything, just download 3 big files, copy to sdcard and run the bat file.

I can copy those files to the SD-card though a different source.
How can I run the update bat file from the SD when its inserted in my phone?
The phone doesn't respons to ADB and I can't get it to boot in bootloader or recovery. It even doesn't show up as a storage device at my PC (both internal and SD storage).
30-08-2017 14:50 UPDATE: It seems fastboot does recognise the device but adb doesn't. It there a way to use fastboot command to run the bat file or restore the OEMfile back-up. Both are present on the SD-card.
Questions @lemonade747: Does the phone need be be bootloader unlocked and TWRP instaled? I have a slight suspicion that that it both the bootloader got locked and TWRP uninstaled afther the TWRP recovery back-up to L29C636.

Go to download mode (power + volume down), plug the cable and run the bat file from the link I give (remember to download all small link and extract to the same folder), follow its instruction (in the cmd window) to complete the installation. Sorry I cant give your more clearly step. Regarding your question, if your phone has already unlocked BL, it will move to the next step (install the recovery), if not it will ask you put in your passcode to unlock BL then the next step will happen. All thing I said here is in that bat file, very detail.

Thanks for your detailed explanation, but it didn't solve the problem.
The phone is not responsive to go to bootloader mode (power + volume down) and the screen stays black. Fastboot command also dont seem to get it in bootloader mode. I keep getting the error message: (remote: Command not allowed).
The phone won't start up and is not responsive to any input and therefore unable to check status of USB-debugging. (unknown if it is enabled or disabled at this stage).
This stage happend, as explained in the first post, through TWRP back-up recovery with L29C636 OEMinfo files.

There are two method to go to the download mode:
1. Make sure the phone DOES NOT connect to any charger (via cable). Press volume down + Power button and wait at least 10 seconds. If the phone are connecting to charger or laptop, it wont work.
2. Press and hold the volume down button then plug the cable to your laptop (or charger but I prefer laptop cuz we can move to the next step without disruption), it will enter the download mode automatically.
If after trying two method above and still dont work for you, you may need to flash stock rom (including stock firmware) by using E-recovery method.
5-9-2017 UPDATE: I've been unable to solve this issue by myself. The phone is sent for repairs, fingers crossed they will accept it....
So I had an unlocked H8 with LOS. As I wanted to install EMUI, I put the proper restore Update.app into the dload folder and started Huawei's recovery. Everything went well, I formated data and wanted to install the EMUI 4.1 ROM using the same method.
Unfortunately my H8 is bootlooping and there is now way into erecovery nor any other recovery. It simply reboots on every single known vol up or down key pressing combination. The only thing I can go to is fastboot mode when holding down vol down and plugging in usb wire. But, it says frd locked and I can't install nor boot twrp. It's simply gone and reboots all the time.
Any hints? I can't even turn it off.
I wanted to give away that phone that's the reason. Last time I did it this way, I could flash the EMUI 4.1 since it's signed. But not this time.
Interesting part is, that although fastboot says frd locked, I still get the "phone unlocked" warning on every reboot. dload method isn't working, as it simply keeps rebooting.
It's my hardest brick so far I ever encountered
the same thing happened to me.....on my phone lock/unlocked frp and bootloader were tweaked for some reason(I mean that what was written wasn't the reality) so how did I fix it? I kept on to flash rollback package many times and I tried to unlock/relock bootloader again, at the end the phone let me to flash the firmware, I didn't know how but the phone allowed me to flash things throw recovery(using dload method). At the begin I only could access to erecovery and fastboot. I suppose that I broke system and data partition and while I looked/unlocked the bootloader, the wipe fixed the partition table. Sorry I'm tired and I know that my English sucks, I hope you understand what I have written.
How did you enter erecovery as this isn't working for me.... What did you flash over fastboot?
Have you tried flashing the firmware separately using adb on computer?
For this you just need to extract the Update.app using the firmware extractor for huawei. Then flash them individually using adb commands in cmd.
I can't access any state that would allow to do adb.

sorry. I'll try to explain better, however on Huawei/honor devices there are not one but two recoveries, so one is the normal recovery flashed in recovery partition, the second one is the Huawei recovery that is flashed in recovery2 partition, so if you didn't touch recovery2 partition, your erecovery is still there, now, if you press VOL+ VOL- and POWER it will reboot to recovery2 and it starts to flash something from dload in your sd card, so in my opinion you should do this things, first try this method to flash rollback package(this is the transition package from 7 to 6 and you will find it on honor site) if this is still not working try locking and unlocking again your bootloader(I hope this fix partitions of your device) then try to enter recovery and do a wipe and then boot your device, if this doesn't work flash rollback package(now it would work) and then flash an emui 4 full firmware image, always using dload method. trust me... I did the same... and it worked for me. let me know if it works for you :good:

I ran into this issue not that long ago. What you have to do is relock your bootloader using ADB. The ADB commands and instructions can be found in this thread.
Just a FYI, do not use the links to the software listed in that thread as it is a little outdated. The method still works but the software will probably not work. Just be sure to get the most recent/appropriate version of SuperSU and TWRP via their official threads (This is if you want to re-root). There are Honor 8 specific TWRP files if I remember correctly, so be sure to check around the Honor 8 forums for the correct files.
A quick summary of what I did:
1) Power your phone off and then boot into fastboot by holding Vol down + Power; as soon as it boots up, plug your phone into your combuter via your usb cord.
2) With ADB running, type:
Code:
fastboot oem relock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
NOTE: The '#' should be replaced with your unique unlock code that you obtained to unlock your bootloader.
3) Wait for it to format and reset your phone and go through the setup. BE SURE TO BYPASS all google registration; skip everything you can to get into the phone itself. If you do register, it will reactivate FRP and you'll have to start over again.
4) Turn on USB Debugging and every other setting that enables developer administrative navigation and control just to be safe. USB Debugging being the most important one, though.
5) Restart your phone and boot into fastboot again using Vol down + Power.
6) Unlock your phone again with:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
7) Once the command is entered, it'll reset your phone once more and - as stated before - bypass/skip all google (FRP) registration.
8) Enable developer options and USB debugging again and make sure that OEM Unlocked is checked and grayed out.
9) Reboot into fastboot mode to confirm that FRP is disabled and you should be able to install TWRP now via ADB.
@Numerics thanks. The thing is, that I can't boot anything. I can't even go into eRecovery. Nor can I flash a stock EMUI 4.1. It just boot loops all the time and I can only access fastboot.
If you can flash twrp..........Install los or other Rom ..................Go back to stock.......you must flash b360 ober adb...... because los is 7.1...............if you on b360 you can usw the rollback for emui 4.1........,..............sry for bad english
I can easily go to fastboot. But I can't flash anything. I extracted the img from the update.app but can't flash. It simply says that it's not permitted.

With my method, you don't need to flash anything. Just relock your bootloader via adb in fastboot mode and let it reset. Unless I'm not understanding your issue entirely.
@Numerics as I said, in won't boot anything as it is constantly boot looping. There is no way to access any kind of recovery nor erecovery. There is no boot into Android. The only thing accessible right now is fast boot (which is not ADB). But even in fast boot I can't do anything als operations are not permitted.
after boot looping and starting fast boot mode, I can see a "Android reboot reason" section saying:
AP_S_PANIC
data is invalid
There is still a lineageos installed on system as firmware but as I tried to get rid of it by going back to stock EMUI, I guess Huawei's rollback did something wrong and killed recovery (although I did it in the past successfully).
I tried to run HiSuite to recover my phone, but it just says, that my phone is not supported.
Speaking of this, Huawei messed up with that whole fastboot locking bull****.

No, I know ADB isn't Fastboot. What I'm trying to say is that you should be able to still run ADB via CMD on Windows when you're in fastboot mode to relock your bootloader with the directions I gave in my previous post. It'll force-restore your phone to a non-bricked/vanilla state. At least that is how I fixed mine.
Like... You can't even try using the 'fastboot oem relock ################' function via the ADB console while in fastboot?
yes boy trust us, you haven't a working OS so it is a normal thing that your phone reboot, you cannot access to recovery because some partitions are corrupted (data partition) , so these are the steps that could help you:
1) using fastboot, relock your boot loader
2)using fastboot, unlock your boot loader (partition table would be ok now, and you would be able to use load method to flash things trow stock recovery)
4)put inside your sd card \dload\update.app(use rollback package)
3) press all the buttons while your device is rebooting(do this before the blue screen logo appear), your phone is now looking for something inside your sd card
5) if the next step doesn't work do a factory reset from recovery that now would be working
6) put inside your sd card a full android 6 (emus 4) update.app and pressing all buttons it will install the firmware
7) your device now is locked and back to stock, maybe without cust partition or maybe in test mode but it is certainly alive
8) do a factory reset and reinstall the firmware
9) your phone is now ok
You don't lock the bootloader via ADB but via fastboot.
As I said, northing was restored and nothing is booting and I can't unlock my bootloader again. As I said, recovery is not working so the file in dload is not loaded and used. Which is strange.
Locking bootloader didn't do anything besides locking the bootloader. Device is still dead and I still can only access fastboot.

This is not the truth.....locking bootloader will erase all your data and fix partitions....and with fixed partition you can access to recovery ......trust me the only thing that you can do is to lock your bootloader......you can't flash anything from fastboot and boot recovery or system now...... lock your bootloader and then unlock it again, try using "fastboot OEM lock *****" or "fastboot OEM relock *******" (try cmd runned as admin, people say that this makes the difference) then unlock your device again and .....magic your recovery will boot......the same thing happened to me and I fixed my phone using this trick, however, even if you had frp unlocked it would say you that isn't possible to write anything because you broke some partition, and that's the reason why you can't boot recovery, wait one second and think: why doesn't my recovery boot?
It has nothing to do with trust. I did it and device is still a full stone brick. Nothing changed by locking the bootloader besides that now I can't unlock the bootloader anymore.
The issue I am having is that my honor 8 (FRD-L14) is stuck on "your device is booting now.." and it does not shut down. If I hold the power button until it shuts down then it restarts by itself and it keep doing the same thing over and over.
When it first starts and the blue screen and the logo come up the phone vibrate twice and then it displays "your device is booting now..." and it gets stuck there
Here is what I can and cant do:
I can go into fastboot and it shows that the phone is unlocked and the FRP is unlocked
I can flash TWRP from there and I can go into TWRP
When I check in TWRP for partitions I can see CUST or DATA and it shows that the INTERNAL STORAGE size is ZERO
I was able to create the system partition but I am not sure if I did it right.
the dload folder on the SD Card has the role back but the three finger thing (vol+ and vol- and power does not start the system restore from update.app) instead it gets stuck on " your device is booting now..."
I tried Huawei_Multi-Tool and I chose the "unbrick option"...I extracted system.img, boot.img, recovery.img and cust.img and the tool was able to push all images to the device but still the device does not start.
The original stock recovery is not accessible either even if I flash the stock recovery image from TWRP
Any tips on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance guys

You said you can go into TWRP right. Just rebrand the device to L19 :angel:
First format data
Then flash the rebrand.zip
Then reboot and if it doesn't boot first go into recovery and factory reset then let it boot up again.
Try flashing stock recovery.img using fastboot. Can you now enter into the 3-button combination mode?

I had the same exact issue 5 days ago.
Here's what I did to solve it
NOTE - This is FRD-L14 SPECIFIC
First, Download these files -
1) FRD-L04 Original Recoveries and Boot Image
2) FRD-04 Rollback Package from Huawei
3) FRD-L04 Official MM ROM from Huawei
4) FRD-L14 Specific Stock MM ROM Update.zip
Assuming Bootloader is unlocked
Here's what you should do
-Unzip the Recoveries and Boot image folder
-Unzip Rollback Package
-Make a folder called "dload" (without the quotes) in the root of your SD Card
-Place the Update.app from the Rollback Package in there
-Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed - Installer
-Boot into fastboot by Plugging in your USB Cable and Holding Power + Volume Down. This may take multiple tries and multiple reboots to get it right depending on the reboot loop.
-Once phone is in Fastboot, go into the Recoveries and Boot folder, hold Shift and right Click. Click on open Command Window Here.
-If the option says "Powershell" instead, open Command prompt manually, and cd to that directory, or change this option in your settings.
-With command prompt open, do -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
IMPORTANT - Make sure you unplug the cable from the phone and are ready to press both volume buttons at the same time after it reboots
If you dont get it the first time,hold all 3 buttons at the same time to make it reboot and go into that mode.
Code:
fastboot reboot
-Remove cable, press both Buttons at the same time
-It should go into stock recovery and start flashing the Rollback package
-Wait for it to finish, it should reboot automatically
-After it reboots, you should notice that it went back to the same state it was, so reboot into fastboot and flash recovery, recovery2, and the boot image again.
-This time, put the Update.app from the Official L04 Rom you downloaded from the Huawei website in the "dload" folder of the SDCard
-Fastboot Reboot, Remove cable, and Press buttons again. This time it will flash the Official ROM, so it will take longer.
-If it says error right at 99%, reboot, it flashed correctly but it displays an error.
-If it says error anytime before the end of flash, reboot and try again.-After it reboots, you will notice you are able to boot again. BUT, you are not able to update due to it being branded as L04, sooooo
-Place the Update.app from the 4th link (L14 Specific ROM) in the "dload" folder of SD Card
-Three button method into the recovery flash again.
-It will start to flash the L14 Specific ROM on top of the L04 one.
-After it flashes it and reboots, reboot one more time once you are inside android so it encrypts the ROM.
-(Optional) Update to Nougat, apply other updates after that (There's like 3 Updates I think)
-At this point you have a 100% Stock FRD-L14 Honor 8 but, you can also
-(Optional) Reunlock Bootloader
-Profit?

Thanks! i will give this a try since flashing the rebranding zip file that was suggested in one of the posts did not work out for me.
However, do you think that this w=method will work despite the fact that I do not have a valid DATA or CUST partitions?

Thanks! i will give this a try since flashing the rebranding zip file that was suggested in one of the posts did not work out for me.
However, do you think that this w=method will work despite the fact that I do not have a valid DATA or CUST partitions?
Thanks again for responding to my post!!

No problem!
That shouldn't matter, this will get you to 100% stock, so all of those partitions will be reflashed.

It worked!!!
Thanks a lot!
but this is what happened:
After i flashed recovery, recovery2 and boot images, I rebooted the phone and it went straight to stock recovery and it asked me download stock firmware and stock recovery which was 1.66GB so I allowed and it downloaded it and flashed everything and did a reset and the phone booted normally.
The stock firmware that it downloaded and flashed was B122 MM.
One question though, does the flashing sequence of the recovery, recovery2 and boot matter?
Before you posted your post, I had tried flashing these three files in the following order: boot, then recovery then recovery2 but it never worked.
Also, the three images that tried to flash were extracted from the update.app from this firmware (FRD-L14C567B162_FULL) so I was not sure what was going wrong.
Thanks again for your help!! :victory::good::highfive:

It shouldn't matter, but I included it because sometimes those get corrupted like what happened to me. I'll probably be testing it out completely and making a guide. Looks like you had it better than I did though! I'm glad you got it fixed! :highfive:
