I have seen so many videos on YouTube and so many threads on XDA regarding how to downgrade Honor8 from EMUI 5.0 to EMUI 4.1, does flashing those two Update.app files void its warranty ?
How can I get the stock Recovery after I have flashed TWRP ?
Please help
Your warranty is void since you have flashed TWRP...

I already downloaded the package but one cannot simply rollback to previous version without flashing two
Update.app files.
I tried and failed. Wondering what does the 30mb update.app file does, does it unlock the bootloader or anything that voids warranty ?

In my case no, i broke my retro glass and i took the phone to the assistance, but before i relocked it with the roolback, and they did not sad nothing. And i got my phone fixed. If you enter in fastboot mode you can see frp/phone ulocked, and after flashing the roolback if you reenter in fastboot you will se frp locked in green
Thanks

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
Sent from my FRD-L04 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
This is for all the process or just for back from android 7 to android 6?

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!
Just passing by, this is the wrong forum to post to. Here is everything related to development, not Q&A. Flagging this thread. Sorry.
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.

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

Now i m stuck in bootloader, unlocking not working
Installing twrp not working

I had a middle east version
MHA-L29C185b172
I got stuck following the same guide after replacing oeminfo to L29C636.
If you are able to get in TWRP i suggest restoring OEMinfo to original and start following this guide to rebrand.

Since your frp is locked you won't be able to flash anything.
Did the OEMINFO restore successfully in twrp?
When you do dload, you are putting UPDATE.APP in /extsdcard/dload/?
And you are using https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9GG_Oe0gQDyUWlCS3lTRm5IOUE/view (C636B136)?
Because no other firmware will work with dload (Except for AL00C00B115).

Why you want to relock, to gain warranty?
If so, better dload the current firmware and it will lock it safely.
because, i dont want to see everytime when i reboot my phone,this stupid message, who tells me that i have unlock bl...
i have 8.1.0.151 (c432)
i was downloaded this version when im trying to rebranding.. for official site..
if i relock with this version, the worse scenario it will be...??? brick???
if i dload the current firmware, i will install it with TWRP again? and after it will be locked safety?
and what firmware i must to dload?
