Is the bootloader unlocked? Do you know which model you had? Do you know which version of EMUI you had? Also for future reference do not make new threads without looking in guides because I think the answer is right here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/to-emui5-custom-roms-tested-openkirin-t3638445 . Next time you post try to be more helpful because everyone here will try to help you if you help them help you. Some people may not respond if you do not leave information, or communicate that you need help to provide the information.
If you know you had EMUI 5, this should work (assuming you use the correct firmware files and have unlocked bootloader still). What did you wipe in TWRP?

yes, the bootloader is unlocked, I had the FRD-L09 model, I had the EMUI 5.0. I wiped everything accidentally with advanced wipe.

Next time be more careful. Here are some steps for you
1. Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1 (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)
2. Download Firmware (If you are in Europe The L09 firmware up top should be what you use. If you are in Asia use the L09 firmware at the bottom.)
3. Move the firmware to your External SD if present and name the folder "Stock Firmware" using TWRP MTP
4. Factory Reset in TWRP (NOT ADVANCED WIPE)
5. Flash your region file before update.zip
6. Reboot to recovery in twrp, this will run EMUI stock recovery
7. Tap factory reset, wait.
You may need to Unlock the bootloader again, but your phone should be okay.

Based on the method given above, were you able to restore the device? It would be new learning for me as i would go for dload but he suggested which was something new for me and i would definitely follow this instructions if i mess up or dload doesn't work.

Re lock bootloader and back to stock.

Hi everyone, please help me I read so much post on xda and I don't know how to re lock or lock the bootloader and back from android 7.0 to 6.0. The only modifications I do to my honor 8 FRD-L04 C567 B360 is I unlocked the bootloader and installed via fastboot TWRP 3.0.2 but this version can't flash only read function is operating. So I flash via fastboot the original recovery for my version extracted from the full package of android 6 MM. So I tried to install the full firmware via dload method but the system tell me is that not the correct version to my phone and I'm sure is the correct version. I still do not re lock the bootloader because I read that some people had a brick left after the re lock process. I need to sell my phone because of I need to pay debts. Please help me to restore my phone as new.

Look up FRD-L04 Rollback package
Get that, extract to dload folder, flash
After that is done, put full package in dload folder, flash

Yes my friend, but first off all, I do the rollback 75 MB aproximelity via dload method, next to do that I have to re lock the bootloader via fastboot with the unlock code. And to finish, I install the full software of Android marshmallow via dload method (make sure that the software is in the micro SD, not in the intern memory) 3.70 GB aproximelity. My phone was like new.
Awesome
Great to hear! I managed to work out my issue with mine! I appreciate your response!

Mate 9 Unlock/Relock/Lock question

Hello, i have a big doubt about unlock my Mate 9.
I have read some guides but i'am confused, i will not lose the warranty and i see that with software dc-unlocker is possible relock the bootloader at original status, it is right? there are other softwares that do same job?
Sorry for my bad english.
thanks for help

There's a difference between lock and relock.
Relock will say 're-locked' in the bootloader, and that's probably voiding warranty.
You can get it to say 'locked' by flashing official firmware, you have a few options here...
1. Firmware Finder
2. Flash update guide
3. Dload method (only for C636B136 and AL00C00B115)
4. FunkyHuawei (paid)
5. Dc unlocked (i think anyway, and paid)

No. When you flash stock firmware everything is back to stock. If there was a way to flash a modified update.zip with Twrp as recovery instead of stock recovery it would be possible. But as far as I know we can't yet. I've tried to repack using Huawei Update extractor but it doesn't want to, header mismatch. (this is on all extracted files, not just twrp)
The only reason to get locked bootloader would be if you needed to return the phone because of a software error. If it's hardware it should be replaced anyway.

Yep. Flashing stock firmware will do that.
You won't get rid of emui though. We don't have AOSP so emui is always there...

sorry for my bad thing. But can i ask you help me this case:
i have Mate 9 Pro LON-L29C636C361 (lastest Oreo ) , but my bootloader is unlocked, and maybe not have stock recovery .
So, which method can flash again full rom C361 (3 file : update.zip, data full, hw...etc) and complete back to stock with locked bootloader???
I read somewhere about method LON-HWOTA, but it fail when flash TWRP step, because i am on Oero, so this method can not use in this my case . Can you show me another way ?
to relock bootloader on Android 8 (MUI8), only works if you have your CORRECT oeminfo.bin. make sure you backup yours before rebranding
1. just flash TWRP
2. make folder folder HWOTA8 on SD card
3. Download HWOTA8 and copy "hwota8_rebrand" to SDcard
4. Copy your oeminfo.bin file to HWOTA8 folder.. Make sure to rename your file to oeminfo.bin
5. Boot into TWRP and install from SDcard hwota8_rebrand
Done bootloader relocked

Need help fixing an Honor 8. Stuck on EMUI 4.0 after failing with custom ROMs

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

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 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.

Reisntalling B385 stock rom to my FRD-L04

Hi guys,
I am currently trying to figure out how to reinstall a clean version of the B385 for my FRD-L04. I have downloaded these two files from the Nougat Update for FRD-L04 Honor 8 (USA):
Full ROM – http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1585/g104/v83098/f1/full/update.zip
Data File – http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...FRD-L04_hw_usa/update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip
I have tried to flash them both from TWRP, but I always get the error: Updater process ended error 7
Can anyone please guide me through the process and let me know what I'm doing wrong?
I have look for a guide or post where this is detailed, but without luck. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to reinstall the stock firmware in my Honor 8 FRD-L04?
Thanks! :good:
The best way (if you don't want to unlock bootloader) is to flash a downgrade package first, then dload the Marshmallow update and finally your preferred Nougat update though Firmware Finder.

Unlock your bootloader and follow this guide:https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306/
Choose the B385 firmware or any newer firmware available for your region.
So I decided to finally reinstall the stock firmware in my Honor 8 FRD-L04 in B389, and this is where the nightmare began.
- I made a full backup with TWRP just in case and I decided I wanted to start from the earliest firmware possible available.
- I started unrooting my phone using the UnSU zip by Osmosis.
- Then I flash via bootloader the recovery and boot image of the firmware B360.
- I flashed the rollback package from the Huawei official site with the B122 firmware also available at the same place. I saved the rollback package in my root directory in the dload folder, and loaded it with the 3-button method. After this I wasn't able to boot my phone normally, I was stuck in a boot loop. I still continue with the next firmware, the B122, and it was successfully loaded (this also relocked my bootloader).
- It is important to say I clear many times the cache and wipe/erase data through stock recovery options, and also tried to erecover but I wans't able to connect to the WiFi. I guess something was missing (at this point I was already going crazy).
- I was still stucked at a boot loop after loading the B122, so I decided to unlock my bootloader and flash the twrp 3.1.1-1-frd.img
- From there I tried to wipe data and cache and system and everything, but I wasn't able because an error saying unable to mount always appeared.
- After rebooting, since I already had unlocked the bootloader, the initial message prompting: "press power to continue, press for 3 seconds for erecovery, etc..." appeared.
- I enter the erecovery options with the hope it will do something... and it did!!! I could connect this time through WiFi and the system asked to update the firmware and many other things it said at that moment. This was the first time I felt relieved through the night.
- The phone updated perfectly, it started at the firmware B122 and I kept updating it until I reached the B389.
- I unlocked the bootloader again and rooted the phone. And everything is running smooth as silk!
I know this is a very long story, but I just want to get it out there in case anyone is facing the same problem I just passed. Hope this helps someone and brings peace to them! =) Good luck!
I believe B385 is not functional with TWRP. Flash B360 and reboot to recovery. This should go to stock recovery, where you will have to do a factory reset. I got EMUI working, but it refuses to update to any newer version (it does show B380 but doesn't update). Also there should be updates after making that update. The updates did work for other people, so you may be able to have it working.

You idiot EMUI 10 cannot be bootloader unlocked, downgrade to EMUI 9.0!!!
If you want android 10 or even 11 you need something called a GSI, which I can inform you about it.

You saved me mate, was really a dumb move to go thought OTA without checking this point. Didn't now Huawei become that ******
Any advice for a good custom rom based on android 10 ?
And thanks again for your precious help

even better if it is android 11, i will try it
also have another dumb question : if i install TWRP on the EMUI 9.1 with unlocked bootloader, can i flash the emui 10 rom thought TWRP ? or this will brick the phone ?

that what i was thinking also, so bye Emui 10 for ever i guess.
what was the rom base on android 11 you are referring to ?
GSI Project treble rom.
The definition is https://source.android.com/setup/bu...tem image (GSI,or higher can run successfully.
Google's Offical GSI will not boot on huaweis though.
After unlock bootloader download this https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...v300.l/system-roar-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img.xz
use 7zip(https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.exe) to extract the file once and rename it to system.img and move to C drive WITHOUT under any folders.
Then go to recovery and factory reset, do not advance wipe, wipe>factory reset only
Then go to fastboot and
fastboot flash system C:\system.img
Failing to follow will result in rage!
Backup System, Vendor, Data and Internal storage in TWRP before doing anything will be a wise choice, in case anything is wrong.
Forgot to mention you must flash magisk in TWRP before installing rom, to disable AVB(Android Vertified Boot) so that a custom rom can be loaded.

Yeah for sur, i'm rolling back, unlocking BL then TWRP in order to get a full backup. I ll check the rom after that
A senior member refer to for EMUI 10 upgrading :
"Don't update system via OTA when phone is rooted or bootloader unlock. Flash firmware via erecovery and rooted again"
i think this is incorrect right ? he cant root again while on EMUI 10 ?

well i'm stuck with twrp not decrypting my data
i managed to install TWRP (several version), boot on them and so nothing to do
also can get root easily and magisk as i sideload zip from crypted TWRP version (worked)
tried the version twrp_clt_0.1.img from XDA stuck on TWRP starting screen
i'm almost giving up
Extract Android 11 Gsi, rename to system.img and move to C drive , not under any folders.
Go to fastboot then
Fastboot erase data
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash system C:\system.img
