yes , U did a mistake after re-brand you had to receive the 2.2 GB update , this occurs because you didn't dload the official firmware of EMUI 4.1 after re-brand .and currently your build number will be in NRDM test keys . you wont receive any update , lacks of lot of feature , phone hangs a lot and drains .
So, do a thing just rollback to mash-mellow EMUI 4.1 FRD-L19C432B131 and from there make sure you are getting the update more than 2 GB ,if not just dload again the official firmware of B131 and again reset and see this time you will definitely get the right package .
INSTALL and enjoy.

Well , the reason I was not able to flash again with error , remote command not allowed was somehow the phones bootloader was not unlocked when it was showing unlocked. So unlocked the bootloader again and flashed the recovery.
About all the features , I had to reset the firmware from with in the settings , it deleted the os. So then I went to recovery and flashed official FRD-L19C432B131 and then I got the update of 2.4 GB in update update app, 2.4 GB is the correct one, not the 1.4 or 3.4. after updating I'm quite happy now. :laugh:

FRD-L04 - NRD90M - Stuck - Emui 5.0 always is NRD90M - Assist please

I have read so many posts and I am unsure what it is I have done to my phone but every time I update it to Nougat 7 / Emui 5.0 it is always on NRD90M Test Keys.
In TWRP I often get unable to mount Cust and or Data and sometimes Vendor.
I have rolled back to MM and tried the Charles Method. With Charles Method it rebooted the upgarde from MM but again it was NRD90M.
When in MM the build number displays correctly such as 122 or 162 but as mentioned every time i upgrade to Nougat it always says NRD90M test keys.
Other notes, I have once flashed RR and Lineage on this phone and it was successful. I also may have flashed some boot or other similar files to partitions but cannot recall and anyway I have formatted data, relocked and unlocked and repaired file system and still have had the same issue when it comes to EMUI 5.0.
I am in Australia and do not receive OTA updates but have use FF and Charles method.
Any help would be appreciated as it has been weeks and weeks of trying this.
Thanks and from memory I do remember at one stage all was fine and I was on build number 320 or 360 and then flashed Elite Kernel which did not work and did not allow me to boot.
Anyway, please assist.

Anyone has L19C636B380/360 full firmware package?

I had Nougat(L19C636B360) when I bought my phone. The box had model "AL-10" written on it although the firmware was of L-19. Anyways, an OTA update arrived, I clicked on update and it got bricked. I had never unlocked the bootloader, rooted or anything. After a lot of trial and error, I successfully got my phone working by flashing MM 6.0 - FRD-L19C900B131 through 'dload' method. But this firmware is buggy as hell. My phone's laggy, crashes constantly, the photos are worse etc.
A found a couple of stock firmware packages(L19C636B360) on the forum but they come with two separate files(update.zip and updata_data_full_hw_specxx.zip) and my phone doesn't support them(Installation fail). Also they are of only 2-2.5GB, whereas the one I successfully flashed is 3.3GB
Note : I have unlocked the bootloader now
And you are developer?
Wrong forum to post buddy.

Soft brick? Boot-loop after trying to update wrong firmware

Hello.
I've read through the forums but am still quite unsure if i can restore my honor 6x from soft brick. It boots up but i get stuck in rescue mode if i have it charged Or it will just boot-loop if its not plugged in.
Im unable to use the DLOAD method. If i enter fastboot and use the three button method. I get put to the rescue screen. However i may be using the wrong firnware? Possibly.
Its a China version. PE-UL00 given to me from a friend, he said he had restored it to factory settings. So i wanted to upgrade the android kit kat to lollipop version. It was running emui 3. Kitkat 4.42. I believe updated the wrong firmware file through the local update method I download from firmware finder.
Basically from what ive read through the forums would i need to unlock the bootloader and flash stock firmware? . I have the information to acquire the bootloader key i believe and. I have downloaded honor multi tool and huawei multi tool, as well as adb drivers
I get confused as to which stock rom or. Firmware i should download or use. And i cant access the phone to see the build number. All i know is that it's. A China version. PINE-UL00. HONOR 6X. I do remember seeing
UL00_V100R001CHNC00B200 or similar when i was able to access the phone. But it also had custom at the bottom so i wasn't sure if it was a custom rom.
Any suggestions for a noob. Thankyou.

I downloaded dc unlocker, but it doesn't support the boot loader id for PE-UL00 honor 6x. Im still waiting on huawei for the bootloader code. I think k have to log in for 14 days consecutively? I keep getting that message when I try to unlock.
Also the firmware I tried to update it was PE-UL00C00361 OTA-MF from firmware finder.
I downloaded dc phoenix unlocker. Found the correct stock firmware to the best of my knowledge and the phone back to normal. After I was able to update to marshmallow through system updates.
Thank you anyway

I need to rollback (Honor 8), HELP!

I have a seemingly stupid but still annoying problem. As many of you know Android 8 + EMUI 8 came out this summer and I have updated my Honor8. Everything works well, even better (especially with regard to the battery) apart from a problem, quite annoying. I have seen that everyone around complains about the same problem, so it is clear that both a build bug and not a local problem.
Basically ... the bluetooth link with the multimedia system of my car doesn't work as it should, while it worked well with the 7.0.
Tracknames, music infos disappears, sometimes it connects regularly, starting the music, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the music passes from the car speakers to smartphone (!!)... in short, manage the music in the car It has become a big problem!
I tried all possible options; reset pairing, reset bluetooth, clear cache, activate the developer options to control some low-level aspects of bluetooth, and finally installed Bluetooth Auto Connect which also has several advanced options. Nothing works. In the meantime an update of 8.0 has been released (mine is the buiold 521). The update came out in September ... maybe (MAYBE) this update fixes all bluetooth issues (but i don't have any detailed info about). Until today I have not received any updates and normally I check new version regularly every day. At this point I decided to return to Nougat!
And here the adventure begins!
I CANNOT IN ANY WAY do the downgrade.
What I tried:
- through HiSuite. The "back to previous version" option appears random (rarely); normally the program tells me "the system is up to date". Once appeared I tried to run the procedure, but after the decompression it gives me an error "error updating".
- by standard Rollback procedure. Using a microSD and putting the full version of Nougate in the dload folder. The installation starts but stops almost immediately with the same "update cannot be applied" error.
At this point I am desperate. I cannot update Oreo, I can't go back to Nougat and meanwhile the bluetooth still doesn't work with my car. Remember that before Oreo, everything worked very well!
What can I do? Can you help me?
Thank you

Region: EU
Model: FRD-L09
Build: 8.0.0.521 (C432)
Previous Build: don't remember. It was Nougat, and I've upgraded around the first week of September. From that day I haven't received/applied any patch, because nothing appears until now.
This morning I've tried again with HiSuite. As usual it says I'm running the latest version and it doesn't offer any downgrade option .

The more you know...
Finally I've decide to try updating to 8.0.0.562. After a month of tries, fails (damn Huawei and his stupid update system), errors and a lot of other stupid things, I was finally able to update my Honor hoping the latest version will fix all the problems. It was a enormous waste of time (searching around internet)... but in the end I found a method described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/p20-pro-bricked-t3868085#4And if you go ahead you should find the correct firmware link (on a Russian site). Although, IMHO, failing with the classic method was due to the impossibility or some bugs in the update system, to unpack the update files on sdcard. So the solution seems to be to leave both the zip and the unpacked folder.The problems with bluetooth remain, but I hope that now there is not to be crazy applying next updates. ATTENTION: the method above is NOT valid for rollback! If you try, you'll brick your Honor.
And finally I've taken an important decision... for me this is the last Huawei/honor device. Next time I'll go to another brand, with a serious update system.
