Hi, 10 days ago my sister got her Honor 8 (FRD-AL00) china version, she didn't when she ordered it, Stuck after trying to apply a OTA update...
She going to a Huawei center at Paris and they can't help because is a china version ! So I found a lot of people who got the same problem (with china version or not) and it very not serious from Honor to got this king of critical problem.
So I try the RollBack method to Marshmallow and after 30 attempts it still was not sucessfull, I can't rollBack. So I tried to flash with a chinese ROM and after hours searching I found a Chinese STOCK "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV". I installed it with the SD card and dload directory and YES, the phone is work again yeah !
BUT now when I go to phone informations I got this :
Model number : FRD-L19
Build number : NRD90M test-keys
EMUI Version : 5.0
Android Version : 7.0
How it was possible to my phone become a L19 version (EU) after flashing with a China ROM ? And le build number seem to be a test version while a seem used "EMUI 5.0 [7.0] FRD-C00-B368 FullOTA-MF-PV" ??
- My sister live in France so do exist any way to install an EU Rom to get futur OTA update ?
- How can I found a really lastest Chinese Stock rom ?
- Can I and how to make a reset factory / recovery to get back the original ROM version if it still possible ?
Thx

the Link for downgrade don't work, is it the article who tell to download "Honor 8 Rollback Package For NEM-L22" to make the roll Back ?
If is this, I already try maybe 30 time to rollBack.... when the installation is ending, I reboot to a black screen asking downloading the last firmware.... If the rollBack Work I must be return to a normal OS screen ?
You got a chinese Phone too (FRD-AL00) ?

Hi jimbo19,
I have exactly the same problem. No support from Honor in Europe. I try to install differente firmware version: no success (bad version number or failed at 5% when USB is connected).
They is no download available on chineese website !
Keep in touch,
Sakor,
Same issue with my phone as well, Honor 8 FRD-AL00, this is chinees android and i got this in India, And found no google services in this phone as google is not working in China, So searched for english version of Adroid but same Honor customer care refused to help on this.
I tried manually install play service and play store, but google service like play store, Map, Youtube doesn't work some time.

I had been searching for a way to update my EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to EMUI 5.0. During the previous month I tried to install EVA-L09C636B361 firmware via either dload and Huawei Updater, but such means of direct installation never worked out.
Now the problem is solved, and the solution is quite simple, though a little bit unexpected: using Huawei Updater to install EVA-L19C636B190 before installing EVA-L09's own B361 firmware. I mean, it is interesting that we have to "borrow" the B190 firmware from the Dual SIM L19 model in order to update to EMUI 5.
(I'm not the first person to find the solution. I just found out that in a Taiwanese forum a tutorial is already posted. )
So there are two steps to install B361:
1.
Install EVA-L19C636B190 via Huawei Updater
Use Custom ROM URL
Copy and paste the link to EVA-L19C636B190:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1079/g104/v64578/f1/
Use the HiSuite on PC to finish the installation of B190 (Set its proxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 41279)
2.
Repeat the previous process, but this time, replace the link with the one to EVA-L09C636B361:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73928/f1/
Again, use the HiSuite to finish the installation of B361
Note that the C636B190 version firmware for L19 model does run on L09 without the support of the L09-exclusive NFC. I think there should be a thread discussing this. Anyways, before official update comes out, the two steps above seem to be the only way to install EMUI 5 on the Asia-Pacific EVA-L09C636 version without losing data.
That is interesting, I dont have a C636 but I would assume just doing step 2 without the need to flash a L19B636 would do the trick.

I was searching for this for months. I bought my p9 EVA-L09C636 in the US (I'm european) and I never had the chance to update, even at 4.1.1. I went crazy because I tried several times to unlock the bootloader first, installing twrp and flashing updates but with no success. It's unbelievable that I need to fake the version with huawei updater to obtain the updates for my phone. Now I've Nougat, without factory reset, with everything working, from nfc to all stock apps and services. Thank you very much

Well, in that case it keeps failing at 1%. I saw some previous posts talking about this as well.
Need Help
My model is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
I tried to update like this, it's started updating and got an error while updating then phone rebooted with new update,
but there's lot of errors,
Built Number displays as - NRD90M test-keys
Updater missing in settings
Camera missing
Flash Light not working
Clock missing
File Manger missing
and few more default huawei apps missing.
How do I fix it or downgrade to previous version back?
Thanks finally I was able to update my P9 to Nougat using this steps. The only difference is that there is a EVA-L09C636B190 available now so i didnt have to use the version for any other cell, I was afraid to do it. So following this steps i was able to upgrade from 168 to 190 and finally to 361 version.
My Phone is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
Even though my phone is L09 I've flashed L19 by following the steps on this thread -
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l09c636b521-official-firmware-guide-t3544729/)
2016.12.29 - EVA-L19C636 - EVA-L19C636B361
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1583/g104/v74666/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...ll/hw/spcseas/update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip
it's still NRD90M test-keys. but i'm cool with it.
Works on AL00 as well?
I was wondering if I can get the most current european rom on my AL00 with that method as well?
Holy cow thank you for this tutorial.
I spent six hours following every tutorial I could find on the web and my P9 staunchly refused to install ANY update from the very next one after the one it came with all the way up to the latest!
After hours and hours of trying this method is the one that worked.
Edit: This firmware is a developer build.
There have been several updates installed since it was released.
After you this firmware it you should immediately install Huawei Firmware Finder from the Play Store and install the latest full OTA.
The developer build changes the device ID of your phone so you have to manually add the model of your phone in Firmware Finder as:
EVA-L19C636
Otherwise Firmware Finder would tell you there are no firmwares available for your model.
If you can't install the latest OTA immediately after installing this firmware, first install the next one available (38 if I recall correctly) then install the latest OTA -- 38 will say it failed to install but it actually installs just fine, then install the latest full OTA.
That will give you all the bug fixes and the security patches from Google.
Also note that this firmware works on both the dual sim and single sim models (it's built for the single sim but my device is dual sim and the sim configuration in settings works).

The build number is normal.
As for the disappearing apps, it sounds like you have faulty flash storage.
That will cause files and apps to randomly disappear.

Hello everyone,
I come to you because I am exhausted about an update that failed, and I have no idea to how to solve this problem although I tried innobracle things since almost two months (after-sales service, forums, test install firmwares ...) !
The problem is that I live in France and I bought a china/asiatic (?) version of the Honor 8 (FRD-AL00) instead of an european version (FRD-AL09) and so I received an update that was not compatible.
I was in Android 7.0 and EMUI 4.1 maybe... and this update soft-bricked the phone (eRecovery menu). Therefore I had to flash a ROM.
First I tried a lot of firmwares with Android 7 and Emui 5.0, but it did not work.
Then I tried to rollback the version. I used an intermediate file to prepare restoring (FRD-LXX EMUI5.0 + Android7.0 to EMUI4.1 + Android6.0) and I installed the firmware FRD-AL10C00B175_android6.0_emuie4.1 (so AL10 and not AL00). That was the first time that I succeed to install something, but that was a chinese version, and actually it does not work, I loop on the setup menu at the launch, when you have to choose the language.
Then I tried install again other firmwares but nothing works! All versions I tried not works "Incompatible with the current version" in eRecovery.
I search a lot on internet, on forums etc... and I did not find anything exept the fact that the original ROM was certainly an edited ROM, installed by the importer, which is an european version that can be installed on AL00.
A solution that worked for people who dit not rollback their version is to flash this edited ROM version (h t t p s : / / yadi.sk/d/_2GHOvkr3Num8B) , from this tutorial (h t t p s : / / translate.google.fr/translate?hl=fr&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.frandroid.com%2Ftopic%2F261625-gros-probleme-mise-%C3%A0-jour-emui%2F%3Fpage%) (original tutorial : h t t p s : / / translate.google.fr/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2F4pda.ru%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D808947%26st%3D4960%23entry66154729&edit-text=&act=url).
I tried and it did not work because I did the rollback maybe.
So... do you have any solution?
I tried to install tens and tens of incompatible firmwares. Do you know what firmware version could work to restart my phone?? (For example I tried all Full-MF versions (h t t p s : / / boycracked.com/2017/06/15/official-huawei-honor-8-frd-al00-stock-rom-firmware/) and a lot in Android 6)
Another solution is to unlock the bootloader to force install the edited Rom Version, but I don't want to totally brick the phone...!! :crying:
So what are your recommendations?
Thank you in advance,
I really hope you can help me!

Thanks for your response, but I have already tried to install all these full update you gave me in the link, and it doesn't work.
I just spent 40 minutes with Honor, to get a contact with the after sale service in China to get the original firmware version that was installed on the phone.
I think if I have the original version I could work.
Actually the only version that success to install (not saying that it's incompatible with the current version) is FRD-AL10C00B175_android6.0_emui4.1, but it doesn't work well (indeed it's for AL10 and not AL00 !)

Hi, my mom has mate 8 and we want to hard-format and update it. HUAWEI NXT-L29 model number, L29C636B180 and emui 4.0 android 6.0 . I realized that its quite old but its not receiving any updates.
How can I update it to the latest official version ?
I tried firmware finder with auto dns but it gave an error (missing update files or sth like that). I realized that it was not the same size in app and in updater.
In app it says 2.5 GB but in downloader it was 1.36 GB even ı clicked download the latest full package thing.
Please help
Please check the firmware access first then push it.
I recently tried to upgrade my phon to emui 11.I tried to do it manually.But software upgrade was not successful.
Now phone is not booting it's upgraded to emui 11.0.0.151 but saying some messages and going in to erecovery mode.
i went to many professionals but everyone was failed.
Please help me to get out of this horrible situation!!!
you update manually via SDcard or what ?
i bet u didnt know what type firmware on your phone and the type of firmware that u download before u update *according to pic 3
first of all, huawei have many version of EMUI 11 for Mate 30 pro for many region....
so u must check "Base software version" in your phone and matching it with the firmware database... then download and flash it to your phone via SDcard/HISUITE
example.. my phone has base software version called "LIO-LGRP2-OVS 11.0.0.151"
if i want to downgrade/manually upgrade, i must search firmware with code "LIO-LGRP2-OVS"
how to access/search base software version ?
dial *#*#2846579#*#* > veneer information > version info
try watch this
hope it can help u
*sorry for my bad english :3
