dload Update.app method, entering TRWP instead

Hey Guys..
Bought a L29 Mate 8 last week, have been able to unlock, root but now want to install some custom roms..
The installations instructions tell me to go (back) to a stock B1xx rom through the "dload method", and next upgrade to a stock B3xx rom through the "dload" method.
I'm running stock B170, rooted/unlocked right now.
I've loaded a stock B3xx update.app file on my phone, but i'm unable to get the phone to run this update, it either boots normal to system, or when I use vol+/vol-/power it boots into TRWP instead.
Other instructions mention a setting to run update manual going through settings/update but can't find a "manual update"" setting there.
Hope you guys can help me going with this one...
Thanks

You need to flash stock recovery back,use srk tools.

That did the trick, it will "force" manual update now.
Now I run in another problem though, stock rom links for my "NXT-L29C636" are not available, link for C185B170 was still working and the only B320 stock i could find was the one shared by user "bluheart" in his signature "C185B320"
So decided to rebrand the device to C185 with SRK Tool so I would be able to flash these stock roms, first flashed C185B170 through dload method with no problem, and from there tried to flash C185B320 but update does not get passed 5%.
The rom version listed in the device is somehow NXT-C900B170, using the "* # * # 2846579 # * # *" code in dialer confirms phone is "C185 - Africa / Middle East"
Any pointers ?
(edit: tried to reflash C185B170 through download method, also gets stuck @5%)
Thanks

Now in about phone it show C900B170?
Can you get an ota update via updater?
The latest c185B200 so start from this one.
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
Or you need to root B170 and change build display and oem info to C185 in srk tools.after this you will be able to dload c185b320

Thanks again for your help...
Used SRK Tools to change ROM version from "NXT-C900B170" to installed "NXT-L29C185B170" in the hope this miss match prevented the update, no luck, also no OTA available.
Thanks for the link, will download this and try to get this going first...
(edit: Changing OEM, SRK Tools read the device as AL-10?, changed to C185, fingers crossed)

Yes flash b200 like you are debranding,I mean change build prop display and oem info to c185.
ro.build.display.id=NXT-L29C185B002

Had no luck with the C185 roms, they all got stuck at 5%, decided to rebrand back to C636 and dload the original NXT-L29C636B170 and that worked, so will create a TRWP backup from here to fall back on.
Will give the rebranding to C185 another try later, with the rom you provided (i wonder if i went wrong somewhere with all rom downloads named "Update.zip" I might have mixed something up)
Maybe you/anybody confirm I take the right steps to rebrand to C185 and update to the NXT-L29C185B200 ROM provided.
Using SRK Tool: (current: NXT-L29C636B170/Rooted/Bootloader Unlocked)
1-Install TRWP
2-Change OEM from C636 to C185
3-Change ro.build.display.id=NXT-L29C636B170 to NXT-L29C185170 or NXT-L29C185B200 ?
4- Copy NXT-L29C185B200 "update.app" to device/dload
5- Install Original Recovery
6- Use vol+/vol-/power to apply B200 update
8-Install TRWP/ create Backup
9- Root ?
10- Copy NXT-L29C185B320 "update.app" to device/dload
11- Install Original Recovery
12- Use vol+/vol-/power to apply B320 update
Thanks in advance....

Debranding

updated to B200

Thanks for your help gm, just made a new attempt and now successfully picking up the updates as a C185.

Can you tell me what is the version?

I'm also still looking for the rollback file. I have the FRD-AL10 version now on Android 7.0!
The Build-Number says NRD90M test-keys. I really need help, I'm searching since 2 days and was also writing with the support.
Thx for your help

Frd-al00's rollback is different from l04.
If you are in official emui 5.
I suggested you download hisuite in huawei website, and then connect your phone to pc, click system update in hisuite, you will see rollback button.

I have REBRAND AL00 to L09 by https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220
Pls help me from L09 back to AL00?
I don't have back up rom AL00, only back up OEM info

Interesting discussion. so is 360 the only version you can do a straight flash back to in TWRP, or is there a newer version?
Can the stock rom be rooted using Magisk or SuperSU - can one of them be flashed immediatedly after flashing the update zips before rebooting, while twrp is still loaded?

Rommco05 said:
B360 is first stable Nougat for most models and I starting from this firmware and after update device with OTA. Yes supersu works, I was using modified supersu wich is posted in twrp thread by openkirin team and I always install them after first boot to rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, but if you flash back to b360, it doesn't take OTA updates, and I don't want to relock the bootloader.
The main issue I have with stock is the inability to turn off the battery charging LED - it really annoys me.

Help.
Been messing around. I'm now on b380 but camera doesn't work and updates don't work. I've lost twrp, and if I try to install it it fails, although my boot loader says it's unlocked. It's there a way to flash the restore from a pc if I can't get twrp reinstalled?

Eventually resolved by downloading rollback package and b331 from Huawei site, and putting the update.app from each in dload on the sd card and forcing flash.

Frd-Al10 has native CallRecorder?

Hello. After update requires huawei ID log and pass. Can't use phone.
Does anyone know hot to fix it? Can't find rollback

Ota via twrp

Today i received ota update. Can i install ota via twrp or i should install stock recovery..

Not working tried but command not allowed.

Thanx for quick reply..i also want to roll back but there is no rollback available for my country india. And dload method not working it says incapablity with current version.

I have tried this rollback but this is not compatible.my model is bln-l22c675.

No updater app and dload method not working due to frp lock how can I try firmware finder.

Ok i rollback to mm but due to no rollback available for my country i have to flash us roll back now i have install us version.can i install back my country firmware using firmware finder..

Rommco05 said:
Maybe can, you have US version MM? Why after rollback you instal US version? Model rollback was NRD900... and thats something like international and after you must install correct package uff, I think this will be strange. Probably you able to install US Nougat if you have now US version MM

Rollback Package for Honor 6x BLN-L21 (C185) Middle East

Hay Guys,
There are many many people with Huawei Honor 6x BLN-L21C185, the one which is released in the middle east region and may the same in the European countries too. But the number starting with C and after the L21 is very much crucial in Huawei type of devices, because I've tried three to four rollback packages available for BLN-L21, to go back to MM and got failed in the middle. With the same error every time.
May you guys out there have experienced or seen such rollback package for this specific version?
OR can you guys share what to do if there is no option to rollback at all.

Well, I don't know exactly because after B131 I have never used official OTA to update or simply official OTA didn't work bcz I've used FF to flash B342 (the beta version) of Nougat without registering for beta version. So, FF has been my updater app, indeed it was available in the settings menu but it didn't work bring any OTA update for my device at all. But for last 7 months and some three updates my device's theme had no problem, it didn't had FM radio though.
But now after I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp and rooted the device to check whether I could install LineageOS 14.1 or not, the theme is not working too. I failed to install LineageOS and flashed B360 recovery via fastboot and than flashed B360 ROM via dload method and official recovery.
The other time I flashed Magisk just to try, but failed again to flash LineageOS. And the same procedure to come back to official rom.
Moral is; I still don't have FM radio in my phone and the worst is its theme is not working too. Its official updater also doesn't work for OTAs, I have almost bricked my device once.
Can some guy give me a link to the official B360 or B361 for BLN-L21C185 which would have FM radio in and working theme? Because all the FF suggested roms have FM fix in the included other zip which i have flashed indeed but it does not solve the problems of theme now, and also can't bring FM radio.

Rooting back isn't a big issue man, my concern is the way we work on. Because this phone is my main day to day dude so I have to make it usable every minut.
By the way do you think there is a way out there to go back to a working B130 by having root access.
OR simply
If you could tell me how to ditch out required files from update.app, may be we would work a little harder on it. I have used the winrar but it couldn't ditch out files. I think if we would know what version of stock rom has FM app and we would flash it via adb fastboot, it might have done the job.
OR simply by pushing FM app in the current stock rom and than unrooting and unlookcking the bootloader, is it so easy that I am so excited?

Nope. We can go to b130 without root.
My suggestion for root was to flash the the radio apk manually to system to integrate it.
We have similar things when on 5X, system messaging app was missing in rom, we pushed it manually and had it working

So, let's get started on how to push the FM radio in the system to get it working, are gonna guide me step by step or we have a separate thread on such kind of things?
BTW how do we get the FM radio? Is it the same apk which is available in the "update_data_full_BLN-21_hw_meafnaf.zip" and we can get it in the data>hw_init>product>app>HwFMRadio or something else is gonna be done?

Downgrade Honor 6x to Nougat

Most of us didn't liked the oreo... As there is no audio mods, full theme support, no xposed etc...so I decided to downgrade to nougat.. As dloading b340 works for BLN L22 version.. But for me it didn't work... Any build was not working on dload method.. So i tried HWOTA method.. HW OTA works fine but at the end emui fails to install the system...
So I got a way from various senior members...
Using Hu Ru Updater..
Just download latest version Hu Ru Updater and full firmware of Nougat(donot download rollback package) .. Like b362 build.. Download all the three zips and hu ru updater and place it in a single folder of SD card..
Then go to twrp, format data... Reboot twrp... Then wipe data and system from twrp and start the hu ru updater..
After the process, just boot to stock recovery and format your device... That's it... You're on Nougat ?

Nice guide. I know a couple of people will benefit from this. Now, I agree that Oreo or EMUI 8 sucks. However if you're up for it, flash a custom ROM. There are a couple of (now discontinued) good Pie ROMs available. You can try those. Sound Mod and Xposed still won't work (Xposed isn't available yet for Pie) and substratum works but requires root. Or an Oreo custom ROM. Sound Mod also won't work but the other two will. The only requirement is an unlocked Bootloader.
