HWOTA won't work with OREO, so we need to rollback manually with ADB.
this guide (more like just code memo) is for people who didn't backuped before update,
or can't go back to B183 directly by any reason (like dead capacitive keys).

https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/guide-honor-9-t3653719/post75439859#post75439859
What You Need to Download
HWOTA (Windows tool)
Firmware Finder (Windows tool)
ADB and Fastboot (Windows tool)
C432B120 Firmware File
Stock NoCheck Oreo Recovery
What You Need to Have
unlocked bootloader and superuser, ADB.
adb push won't work, so you will need microSD card.
exFAT may not work on some ROMs (like Treble AOSP 8.0), so format it to FAT32.
What You Need to Do
1.
download B432C120 from Windows Version Firmware Finder and rename it (check [REBRAND] Honor 9 Thread).
why B120? bcuz it's the only firmware that leave capacitive keys and flashlights alive.
put them into microSD card root, with NoCheck Oreo Recovery .img (check How to install Oreo Thread).
insert microSD card to your phone and connect the phone to your PC and open ADB.
first of all,
Code:
adb shell
su
let's change recovery with NoCheck one first.
Code:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk
note that 'sdcard1' maybe different, like 'E1F2-A123', base on your ROM. It's your sdcard's name.
We'll put Firmware into recovery cache and make stock recovery to flash it.
Code:
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
note that 'sdcard' is not 'sdcard1', so you don't have to change it to sth like E6F3-A496.
your phone will reboot 2, 3 times and will suggest low level format and download new firmware.
now go to fastboot and unlock the bootloader.
this will do low level format.
2.
now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number.
do HWOTA (no need to do rebrand, just do firmware flash with update option) with C432B120 we downloaded before.
This will make your phone Stock C432B120.
3.
Let's Go back to B183, the newest Nougat ROM.
download Firmware Finder for Huawei app at Play Store.
choose C432B183 and update it with proxy.
maybe you got 'yet approved' error,
but there are quite numerous C432B183 so check every single one of it.
There is one that is flash-able.
4.
TADA, now you rollbacked your phone.
I think you can also rollback with Hisuite on PC, I did a few times to rollback from beta.
I don't like your guide because :
-You're flashing a B120 firmware which is not to rollback from oreo when there is already a B183 oreo's rollback available for this on FF.
-You have to flash it 2 times to fix your build version issue (maybe because it's not a rollback firmware).
Please note that your step 1 & 2 are the same, you just did hwota manually on step 1.
-You then updated from B120 to B150 when you could have directly updated to B183 not for oreo's rollback on FF.
Sorry.

1. isn't that rollback for beta B321 and disables capacitive keys and Flash lights with B360a?
2. that's the point of this guide, since HWOTA is not properly working with oreo. you can just change the strings inside the hwota.sh if you want to.
3. no you can't jump to B183 directly from B120, shows approve error. any other firmware except B150 shows the error, same to B183 from B150.
Thx for the opinions though.

Nope, it's a rollback from oreo B3xx.
It's still has to be tested if rolling back from B3xx to B183 mess with capacitives keys.

Sorry but you are wrong : by using FF on B120, I can guarantee you that YOU CAN update to approved B183 using the full ota update ( the B183 one that is not to rollback).

I found out that We do can OTA to B183 directly, so I changed the GUIDE + some minor change.
2. now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number. d
I didn't get this point. i mean with hwota (link you put in) we have just 2 options. update and rebrand. we have no choice for just flashing. sorry for my bad understanding.

do update.
which version of B183 are we supposed to take? I choose the last one: 116404
but I'm not sure it's the correct one. (changelog tell it's a rollback firmware)
seems the good one is the 111176 (changelog is not about rollback)
Don't follow this outdated OP and thread which were never right in the first place.
For rollback use HiSuite or HuRUpdater.
I need help! I often softbrick my device, but can be fixed by using official 6.0 update.app However updating back to emui 5 takes way too long. But every firmware i download from huawei firmware finder isn't valid for dload for some reason! Help!
Did you already tried with firmwares listed as "FullOTA-MF-PV" available on hwmt.ru site, section firmware database? The Point Version is a firmware that must work while you're executing a dload method flash, the safest usually.
What's your build number? I'll provide a valid firmware to use with dload method.
BLN-L21C432 but i didnt see any MF-PV for b360+ so i dont think there are... that, or i am blind
Use team mt tool extract update.app from firmware and use Huawei extracter to provide required file

The biggest one with dload method first of all, then the other two dload too (or flash by TWRP)
TWRP says command unknown, and how am i supposed to flash the second one? (There is no third file) Do i dload big one, then boot to EMUI, then shutdown, extract SD, switch dload folder, and install the second?
Refer to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240

Did the failure brick your phone? or the phone just reboots itself normally? are you sure that your firmware is approved first for installtion before you apply it? (you can know this using Firmware Finder by checking if it's approved first or not for installation by Huawei)
Hi

Flash stock recovery.
For HWOTA8, follow the thread. You need to download FullOTA.
Also with HWOTA8, you will not need to flash stock recovery manually. Basically you flash the zip from TWRP with the provided stock recovery and the three FullOTA update files from Huawei located in a HWOTA8 folder on your external SD card. Once the update is completed, you can then flash TWRP and root again. Same process for every update. Bootloader stays unlocked.
Here's the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522/

Hi mp187263
Thank you for your reply, I also think updating via hwota8 is better solution, having said that, there are 4 file downloaded from ff 3 of them are with l29 and one is l09.
could u pls advise if i should dl and flash the 3 files all together with hwota8?
many thanks
You should only have 3 files, that are specific to your model. FF gives you the exact download links you need as long as the correct model is selected.
If you can get into the OS, it will be under Settings > System > About phone (example: MHA-L29 with the build number showing the region - ie. C636). Or a better way is to get the FF app and it will show you the model as well as the region. If you cannot get into the OS and your phone has not been rebranded, it will be on a label on the original box. My phone is from China so it came as a MHA-AL00, but was rebranded to MHA-L29C636 (International version). There are also other versions such as C567 for USA and so forth. The files you download have to match exactly what you have, do not flash it if unsure.

Any modified partitions? That would most likely be why, and you'd have to flash FullOTA if that's the case.

Difference between OTA and FULLOTA is that OTA patches existing partitions while full flashes full images. Your data will stay untouched
Long waiting came to an end. EMUI 8 india version leaked into firmware finder!

Flashing Instructions
From EMUI 5 india to EMUI 8 india
WARNING im not responsible for anything happens to your device
unlock your frp (go to about phone tap 7 times on build no then enter developer options enable oem unlock)
unlock bootloader
now download HWOTA7 from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/hwota7-hwota8-honor-6x-t3792601
download firmware from these links
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3196/g1699/v154301/f1/full/update.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...01/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
it contains three files rename them as suggested in hwota thread then keep them in update folder in hwota.
Now keep then phone in fastboot ( switch off the phone press vol down connect usb cable)
now hit update. bat it will install twrp then asks you to reboot to twrp
press volume up and power button phone will reboot keep holding then volume up and release the power button now it says booting then release volume up button

From EMUI 8 china to EMUI 8 india
download huru from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
then stock recovery from this
https://mega.nz/#!cbJFAIQD!qvp1KnZ0qxlg6nHDFmpM5qyZ9QUVIDe5PoZE0BQf8fs
then twrp from this
https://mega.nz/#!a81EDZAR!2-9yPFh3reghkGcfSl3nRIJhHGkP8fqDsgUG66ewjkk
Download india oem info from this
https://mega.nz/#!eBECSYKZ!rte1IxPYuw3Y0NVcySOFy23tXWXoR6vBBo46iJ6JlEw
now download emui 8 india stock rom from firmware finder
rename them as update. zip
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip
then create a folder on sd card keep these three files along with stock recovery. img and huru. zip
Now flash twrp via fastboot then reboot to twrp flash oem info zip if it fails to install then extract oem info then select install img on twrp select extracted img flash then select only huru. zip then swipe to install it will ask you to hit vol down in 10secs then press vol down it will flash stock emui8 then go back to main screen select reboot recovery then do factory reset
for first time its asks need verified google account then again hit factory reset it will do factory reset then reboot.
it will stay at bootlogo screen for 30-40 secs then boots.
your bootloader will be locked again even after flashing via huru so be prepared and need to enable oem unlock on developer options.
Good luck
FYI: If you play PUBG you may noticed lag in emui 5, china emui 8 & elemental rom but there is no lag in india emui 8 & gsi roms and the good news is india emui 8 consumes less battery for PUBG game than gsi roms you may notice 40% difference in battery.
Fix for incomplete flashing via huru
If your themes not working then you have flashed it incompletely follow these steps to make it perfect.
Download HWOTA
If your bootloader locked then go to developer options enable oem unlock and USB debugging.
Now go to fastboot unlock your bootloader.
Now go to stock recovery do factory reset then reboot to FASTBOOT now open HWOTA 8 copy firmware files in update folder and rename them as suggested in hwota thread.
Now open update. Eng if its not working then open update. Bat press 2 hit enter then again enter it will install twrp now unplug USB cable hold the volume up and power button reboot to twrp recovery.
Now goto wipe then formate data by typing yes it should formate data without any errors if it shows errors at beginning with red colour then you need to flash stock recovery again do complete factory reset then flash twrp do format it will do without errors.
Now go to main screen of twrp hit reboot to recovery
After booting to twrp now press enter two times on hwota 8 tool now select 2 hit enter then select 1 hit enter then it will show same brand bln then press enter it will start copying firmware files then it will automatically reboot to dload and starts flashing. remove USB cable after it starts flashing.
After update finishes hold vol up button when it's rebooting.
Now it will boot to emui recovery do factory reset. If it stuck at 99% do it again then reboot now you will have fully working smooth emui 8.
ROOT FOR EMUI 8
download twrp then flash this magisk you will have root.
https://mega.nz/#!a5EUBbyL!L3oqIV22YBUKzk9buLenlL8Bks-g--Pq8MmGgtkbZcY
Currently there is no sound mod for emui 8 if you try to flash viper or dolbyatmos they will corrupt system files and you have to reflash emui 8 via hwota 8.

I still haven't got the update process to work, i've had problems with every possibile way:
eRecovery update - during the download process after a while eRecovery automatically reboots the phone, and when i re-enter the recovery and start the update process it resumes from where it left but at the end of the process the validation fails, this does not happen if the size of the update is smaller, like an 300mb ota successfully updated my phone. I assume it has a timer before it stops the update.
DNS update - from system updater it finds the update but fails to download it
Proxy update - not working
Is there a way to download the files and then update?
