Whatever i try, phone stays on NRD90M test-keys - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hope someone is merciful enough to take me out of my misery. I have screwed up often enough but this phone is driving me nuts.
So far i have managed to install TWRP on it and this part works fine. After that i have downloaded the three files to update the ROM (update.zip, update_full_NXT-L09_hw_eu.zip and update_full_hw_spcseas.zip) I boot into TWRP and try to do a "format data" which ends in an error. I flash then the three files one after the other, do a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache and reboot then. Surprise, surprise the system is still how it was left before boot into recovery. Nothing has been wiped/deleted all the data is there and the same ROM version. I thought to give a custom ROM a shot and downloaded TM8_B386_SIGNED booted into TWRP and flashed it but with this the phone does not even boot up. Has anyone got any idea what to try? The three button method with dload folder didn't work either, stops at 5% with an error.
Phone is a L09 version, currently installed is the NRD90M Rom with android 7 and EMUI 5. Phone is the 3GB/32GB version and location is Australia.
TIA

you can rollback since you are on test-keys! just use the rollback method from huawei itself

I can't really find it anywhere at the moment for the L09 version. Is there any way to check which version of firmware exactly i need? When i go to firmware finder there are hundreds of L09xxx versions and i have no idea which one to take

OK, i have found the rollback package and copied it into the dload folder. The three button recovery works to and the update starts and finishes with a success message. When the phone boots up it still says build NRD90M.
Anyone any ideas?

mate. u need to rollback and then make a new install with the right update.zip! If it says NRD90M you have the wrong update zip or you forget to flash the second.zip ^^

Is there any way to figure out which rom exactly i need? I have downloaded dozens of different ones and not one of them works. Every single one fails with "software install failed"
My device is a L09 in Australia so i guess Asia/Pacific variant

which version you had before you started to mess around with your phone? cXXXbXXX ?

Anyone?

That's the problem, i have no idea. All i know it was EMUI 4 and Android 6

I have downloaded seperate files cust.img, system.img, usserdata.img and cache.img
When i try to flash them in fastboot cache and userdate work fine. Cust image and system.img show errors as shown below. Any ideas?
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash cust cust.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'cust' (14977 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.320s]
writing 'cust'...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 0.346s
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
error: cannot load 'SYSTEM.img'
C:\fastboot>

thats not how rollback works. you make the rollback and then you install the new rom with the huawei update methode! stock recovery! "update.zip" in the folder etc.

Thanks to everyone who has helped. I have finally got it to work with the rollback method and now would like to update it to a Nougat ROM. Could someone please be so kind and tell me which one exactly i need?
The current info as shown on the phone is Build number NXT-C900B193 EMUI 4.0
TIA

no problem mate great it worked!! so you are stock rom and stock recovery yes?

Hi Mate
I too now have the same issue as you !
I have a Australian Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L09 and tried Firmware update to Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 and now phone stays on NRD90M test-keys.
I have no Bluetooth , Alarm , apps crashing and missing apps.
Before upgrading to Android 7 EMUI 5.0 using FF app my firmware was the official Huawei NXT-L09C636B191 firmware (android 6.0 EMUI 4.0)
Please tell me where I can find the rollback package for NXT-L09 for Australian Mate 8 model? Or how I can fix this issue.
Thanks

You need roll back package for L29. It will be around 90 mb. Put it in dload folder in sdcard. Then go to dialer and type *#*#2846579#*#* and then select software upgrade. It will reboot and will undergo that process or you can do that three finger process. Once it is done you can reboot back to your OS. This time put the B1xx or B3xx firmware in dload folder and try to do that again. It will go back.
In my case I went back from L29C432B560 to L29C432B180 doing this way. I am saying this from my personal experience. Key here is the rollback package from Huawei. It is there in one of the threads or you can google Huawei rollback package. Once you get that you resolve your issue.
Another thing I observed is locked bootloader.
Hope it works out for you.

Go to this link
http://m.huawei.com/mymobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm
And select the last one L29C900B500
That is the one I used.
If that code doesn't work then try the 3 finger rule
After you do with this rollback package
You will once again come back to nougat
You can check the build number if the process is successful.
Then you have to dload again to B180 or B3xx
Hope this works for you

Don't think it will make any difference. You may try to install update.zip (EMUI 4.0) via twrp.
Just checking. Is your FRP unlocked?

Can you boot to bootloader and check if FRP is unlocked or lock?
Make sure your original firmware (6.0) is full not ota.

I had the same problems.
option 1
I downloaded stock B560 zip files
flashed it in TWRP
next I locked the bootloader
now the dload to rollback - worked. buildnumber - changed
then another dload to B180 to go back.
after that I did dload to B190
updated to B560 using system update. then I flashed kangvip B577 and its all good now.
my phone was debranded to L29c432 so I used these files.
you have to get the right set of files for your phone model especially stock firmware.
roll back package from here

You can change by switch off your phone then press volume down and plug in your usb cable. It will bring you to bootloader mode. From there it will tell you bootloader and FRP status

Reverting to stock [SOLVED]

I have been trying to revert to stock with no luck. What I want to do is install the latest update, but I can't because I had twrp installed. I flashed the original recovery. The problem is when I try to use eRecovery I get "Getting package info failed" error. when I try to download the b385 full update for the FRD-L04 I get a dead link. I was able to download the rollback package, but will I be able to get back to the latest version after I install the rollback package? when I try to use other update packages for my phone I get "Incompatibility with current version" error. Do I need to lock my bootloader in order to update? The good news is that my phone works fine, bad news is that I can't up date.
build number: FRD-L04C567B385

Thanks for the link, I just been to heck and back with this phone. first I uninstalled Magisk. After that my phone wouldn't boot, it would just hang on the blue screen after the initial boot screen. I tried to find a stock boot Image for my version. Once I installed that my phone would boot loop so I managed to get into fastboot and flash TWRP. Once in TWRP I restored my B360 backup and got my phone working again. Then I flashed the stock recovery. Tried to boot into the stock recovery but that wouldn't load. Some how I got it to install the rollback package and now i'm at version B300. Good news is I'm back to stock and can boot int the stock recovery. Time to see if I can update to the latest version.
Edit I think I might have a problem. It won't let me update also it shows my phone as "FRD-L04C900" not "FRD-L04C567" is there any way I can fix this?

I think you will have to restore you oeminfo partition backup through twrp.
On mr FRD-L09, I had to relock my bootloader, then get the rollback package and put the .app on my SD card and hard flash it, then do the same with the rom .app file. Thet got me back to stock marshamllow, and I just let all the updates run through until I'm now on the latest.
Stock is missing some bits, and has some irritations, but the camera is sooo much better than custom roms, and GPS works, as does Android Pay etc. I've not bothered rooting, AdGuard does the ad-blocking and the rest is liveable.
Well I think I'm my phone is screwed. I can't boot into recovery and when it boots it bootloops once and then it is stuck on the "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted. Fastboot still works fine I can lock and unlock the bootloader. I can flash Recovery and TWRP in Fastboot but neither one will boot. I think I might have flashed the wrong update or it happened when I flashed the rollback package. I want to try DC Phoenix but they won't let me buy credits because my PayPal account is unverified. I have downloaded the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" from the hihonor.com site. I extracted it and flashed the recovery, boot, and system image through fastboot. The phone still won't boot into recovery or boot into the OS. Is there a way to fix this or is it time for a new phone.
Thank you everybody for your help.
Ok my phone is fixed. What I did was buy 15 credits for DC Phoenix and flashed the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" package. When I rebooted my phone it automatically went into ERecovery and downloaded and installed the B162 update. I was able to fully boot after that It updated to B360 and then B388.
Thank you everybody for your help.

How did you flash the file you mentioned above? Did you put it on the SD card and used TWRP?
Also, what is so special about that file?
I have the L14 (64gb US version) and just about the same exact problem you describe.
If you have any extra steps that would help me recover mine that would be great.

I followed the instuctions for the honor 7. I would recommend finding the full update firmware for your phone. It took me a lot of googling to find it. Make sure it is the correct firmware, you need to match the numbers before the B-- for me it was (FRD-L04C567) and for you it would be (FRD-L14????) I hope this helps.

After you flash the firmware, you must format data with emui recovery, and it will boot up
After trying different methods, this one works

Put on dload (sd card) #1 after shutdown the phone and put on the folder dload (Sd card) #2. after reboot your phone starts with android 6.0

Ok so i had the exact problem, im not sure if this will help but what I did was flash my cust recovery system and boot through bootloader, I then put the dload folder on my sdcard with the update.app in it, from there I put my phone into download mode so hold all 3 buttons until it goes into download mode. Once there it will automatically install the update.app, and you should be good to go. If not than go to recovery mode do a factory reset and wipe the cache and see if that works.

Honor 8 (FRD-L09) brick help.

Hello.
I need a help with my Honor 8, it's been bricked and I honestly don't know if there is much to do in my current situation.
So the phone has locked bootloader and stock recovery.
Fastboot always returns 'Command not allowed'
What exactly happened:
I was running Stock ROM, rooted, TWRP Recovery with unlocked bootloader.
An official OTA update popped-up on my phone, I was in a rush and I missclicked (don't even ask lol) and the update started installing, I knew I'm screwed.
So I was about to play with fastboot, but it always returned 'Command not allowed'.
And probably the worst mistake happened a few minutes ago (6:00 am trying to fix it half a sleep), I was reading some posts about the dload method, >>FASTFORWARD I installed an official update using the dload method and locked my bootloader by doing this.
QUICK SUMMARY:
So I'm stuck on a bootloop.
The 3 button combo works.
Stock Recovery works as well.
Fastboot does NOT work. (I tried flashing, unlocking, temp-booting.. but nothing)
adb always returns error:
Code:
device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
Is there ANYTHING I can do in my current situation? :crying:
Thanks in advance for any help.
Have a nice day.
Hello, as long as you have an official recovery, a proper BOOT.IMG and the dload method is working there is still a chance( i hope), the only thing you need to know is that if the firmware is the wrong for your phone it will deny it. It means that is if you try to install an android 6.0 based stock ROM over a 7.0 ROM , it will say software upgrade failed or something like that.
You need to know under which Android version you were and install the same or maybe a more recent one but not to far away from your actual ROM, try the next one. You can also try to downgrade USING a rollback package that you can download on honor official site. Make sure that's the the correct file for your phone.
Hope you'll make it bro, let me know how the situation evolve

Hi Ryan,
Thank you so much for responding.
I could see two ROM in the official site http://www.hihonor.com/in/support/
HONOR 8 Firmware (FRD-L02, C675B130CUSTC675D002, India)
HONOR 8 Firmware (FRD-L02, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C675B160, India Channel)
I tried with both the ROMs but no luck
I placed the update.APP file inside sdcard but the update stops at 5% showing that it has failed.
I also tried flashing the recovery.IMG in fastboot mode.
I have lost all the hopes in my new phone
In the rescue mode it says UNLOCKED.
Please guide me with some detailed steps.
Thanks
Flash the stock recovery of the ROM that was previously installed on your phone , then with dload method flash the rollback package downloaded from honor site , and finally flash one of the two ROM, it may resolve your issue because the phone won't accept a lower firmware without flashing the rollback package first. As long as you can use dload method it should be fine.
If it doesn't work try to flash boot.img , recovery.img, cust.img, vendor.img and system.img extracted from a clean firmware downloaded on honor official site
Let us know how the situation evolve

Do you have the stock update.app file for stock Oreo? Extract it via Huawei extractor and flash recovery via fastboot.

Hello, you can download a "NoCheck" Recovery for Honor 8 (FRD) Oreo here => https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HmFAMYm1pU7RdKkOq_TMdthCxZJflzv9
"NoCheck" means you can install any firmware (without approval of installation).
okay, so i installed FF for android and found the latest update from there and extracted the recovery but every time i try to install i get the following error:
Code:
C:\honor fix>fastboot devices
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx fastboot
C:\honor fix>fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (43904 KB) OKAY [ 1.605s]
Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition er
ror')
Finished. Total time: 1.679s
C:\honor fix>
any help on a solution?

Stock firmware

Hello,
I have Honor 8 frd-l09, that was running c432 b521 version of EMUI 8.0. I want to go back to stock but i do not know which files should i download. On pro-teammt website are many donwload link for my model:
... update.zip
... update_full_FRD-L02_hw_eu.zip
... update_full_FRD-L19_hw_eu.zip
... update_data_full_public.zip
... update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip
Those are all the links when i click "filelist". It is obvious that i do not need to download FRD-L02 and FRD-L19, because i have FRD-L09. Should i download just that one or do i also need "update.zip" and "update_data_full_public.zip"?
Thanks for the answers.

You need update and update_data too
Anyway I suggest to you to use eRecovery, but that will take you to Android 7 and lock back your bootloader

Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded all of them, but i do not know what should i do with them. "update.zip" constains "UPDATE.APP" and also "update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu-zip" constains UPDATE.APP. I looked at some tutorials and they just put "UPDATE.APP" in the dload and flash it. I have 3 zips and 2 "update.app" files.
Could you help me get to stock and describe what i need to do.
THANKS A LOT!

The problem with huru is that i do not have TWRP recovery, because i am running OpenKirin rom. I wanted to flash twrp but it did not work and now i do not have a recovery. When i boot into recovery i just get Func NO : 11 (reovery image), Error NO : 2 (load failed!).
What could i do?
Thanks for helping me
Hi, you can safely use your erecovery as it will download the stock b562 Oreo firmware. It won't relock your bootloader because you are already on Oreo. It used to lock it when you went back from Oreo to nougat. You can trust me as I have used this method quite a bit of times to save my half bricked phone

Thanks a LOT for your help!
