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

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.

Sorry for replying so late, hopefully you fixed your phone if not here is a link with some more information.

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
Download
1 .Honor 8_FRD-L04_Rollback_Package_from_Android7.0 to Android 6.0_C900B300
2. Honor_8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android_6.0_EMUI-4.1_C567B122_United_States_Nonspecific
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

Try this

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.

How to flash via TWRP a stock ROM in my problematic phone

Hi everyone.
I am facing a LOT of troubles with my phone (as stated in this thread).
Anyway now I have again unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 3.1.1, rooted but I have a strange ROM installed by a service tech shop after the phone became unusable.
The problem is that this ROM does not show an update option in settings so I am stuck at 1st march security patches.
Here attached my actual Build Prop file.
The ROM seems to be a BLN-L21C900B300 (never heard of this and not even found on Firmware Finder) and the fingerprints show a "test keys" rom:
device: HWBLN-H
Display: BLN-L21C900B300
Fingerprint: Huawei/generic_a15/generic_a15:7.0/NRD90M/jslave04010520/:user/test keys​
If I try to flash via TWRP a BLN-L21C432B360 (which was my previous stock ROM) it does not work and on TWRP appears the following:
......
write radio image
check_write_data_to_partition
write data error
E; unknown command (errno)
update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
updater process ended with ERROR: 7
error installing zip file '/external_sd/update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu_zip'​
I cannot flash the FULL zip file with the core of the ROM but I can luckily flash the data, so I could get back Radio Fm and possibility to install themes....
To make the story short: is there someone who knows what this error is? Maybe I can get a solution.
Moreover: maybe this strange "device: HWBLN-H Display: BLN-L21C900B300 Fingerprint: Huawei/generic_a15/generic_a15:7.0/NRD90M/jslave04010520/:user/test keys" is preventing me to flash?
Changing build prop file can be useful?
Thanks to all.

I forgot to mention: dload not working. Always error.
That's why I think TWRP is the only solution

B300 (at least for the BLN-L24) is the first of two update packages to rollback from Nougat to MM. The first update will take you from the latest firmware to B300 and then the second update will complete the rollback to your device's stock firmware.
dload this package to complete the rollback then do a factory reset and wipe cache partition in stock recovery. After that download and update to the latest firmware and proceed to unlock BL and flash twrp and you should be good to go.

but you mean that I have to downgrade from Nougat to MM again?
And before doing it I have to flash the stock recovery?
My phone was, we can say, flashed in some way by the tech shop to this strange version of Nougat and with the "test keys" fingertips.
With the files you provide I should "dload"?
I do not understand your post.
please explain better.
Thanks.

Download the zip I linked above from Huawei website. Extract the update.app and put it in dload folder on your external SD card and force flash (power vol - vol +). It will flash all the stock images and return your phone to factory firmware android 6.0 EMUI 4.1. It might bootloop after this but booting into stock recovery (power vol +) and perform factory reset followed by wipe cache partition will get you booting. Then you can OTA update to latest firmware and root again.

Well, I will try this weekend. Now the risk to stay without phone during working days is too high
Ah, BTW, thanks for suggestion.

Since you have nothing to lose right now just try the whole rollback process. Here is the update that the service center used to get your phone to BLN-L21C900B300. You can try flashing that again through dload or skip to trying to flash this. There are two different firmwares listed as the 2nd part of the rollback and you already said the last one I gave you failed so give this one a shot. Let me know how it works out for you:good:

Have you tried the Team MT huawei multitool to flash the images from the firmware? Use the Huawei update extractor tool to get the boot,cust,recovery,system and userdata.img from the firmware you tried to flash and then put them in the unbrick folder in the multi tool. Put phone in fastboot and run the Multi tool and use the unbrick option. I know your phone is not bricked but this way it will flash all 5 images in order through fastboot. You could actually try and flash the most current firmware with this method and avoid having to system update from MM to Nougat.

yes, exactly, I am trying with multitool . another bro suggested me how to do it even if with a slightly different method.
"You need flash the oeminfo via multi tool and then same firmware file for your current version via dload. It should be fixed".
WTF....never sweat so much for a phone. And never had those problems flashing samsung... and I was flashaholic

Yes, I have learned so much about this phone and the flashing/brick/unbrick process in the last 2 weeks.

When I go to multitool "unbrick", it asks for custom.img, but in no update.app of my firmware is present.
Moreover now I just can enter erecovery. It does not boot. I can enter fastboot only. Multitool is now not recognizing the phone. Do you know how to proceed?
I put in dload the firmware .app, but it says "software install failed"

Pheew...I managed to have again that fuc..ng C900B300.
I entered fastboot and repeated the unlock bootloader process. That way the phone got a hard reset and started over. Believe me when I say I tried all the methods I knew.
I think there is something locked somewhere in my partitions (I am not an expert of course) that prevent me to do deep modifications. Now I just can TWRP data but not the core. And again I have no update option. I think I am stuck forever at this stage with 1st march patches and nougat 7.0.
I do not think I will be ever able to have Oreo.
Amen. I am really tired to waste my time with this s**t. Next phone will be again a Samsung or One+. Full stop. Stop chinese brands.

Where are you located, Europe?

Yes

Ok bro I really hope this is it. Full firmware BLN-L21C432B151. I already downloaded it myself and checked with extractor tool it has all the images you need. Since you have fastboot back use the multi tool unbrick again and now that you have all the necessary images cross your fingers it will work.
And I agree with you about the phone. Made up my mind im giving this turd to my sister and getting the OP5T in a few weeks.

Thanks. I will do it this weekend. Today I spent 5 hours to get back my configuration after the hard reset with the apps I use for work. Cannot risk again tomorrow.
In another thread, sashank suggested to change OEM file because probably phone doesn't recognize the firmware I want to install.
It didn't work and lead me to start from scratch with the same strange build.
I will try your method but first I must study better the procedure because I don't want to mess up everything and risking to throw the phone in the garbage (where it belongs in the end...).
Thanks.

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

Rayan19997 said:
Right now your best option is to pray for USB debugging to be enabled and then unlock the bootloader if you didn't do it earlier. After that you should try to flash TWRP

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.

I'm really glad to read that dude

thanks for the firmware been looking for it for very long!
btw you just saved another honor 8

Developers options missing

Hello y'all, i issued a problem tomorrow by rooting BLN-L21C432, i unlocked bootloader with no problem, when was time for flashing recovery, i flashed the boot into the recovery and issued a problem in the dev options and security. Cuz of that, i can't access to adb, hisuite hdb to backup, and can't install extern apps without autorizations.
I tried all night long to resolve but no way, add to that the fact i've got a very very low connexion so 3-4h to load an update.zip.
So i downloaded b370, no way i can't use the dload method, fail at 5%. Same issue with b369. Tried to flash manually system boot and recovery by extracting update.app, no result, it's same. Tried to Unbrick via multi-tool, i use it on honor 7, but there's no cust image in update.app.
Build number is normal, C432B365.
I don't know what to do now, it's 10 hours i'm losing my minds with that phone. Please heeeelp :crying:

From which firmware ? Is it good if i flash boot and recovery from B360 ?
Edit : Actually the phone is in B365, it would be better if i try to dload from it right ?

I read that unlocked bootloader could block an update, is that true ?

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.

Thanks for the response. In my case, my phone is rooted, so I don't mind unlocking the bootloader. Would you please elaborate on how to do it that way?

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.
