Phone on wrong firmware - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi good day all, I need help.
My phone is flashed with an FRD AL19 but the back print says FRD AL10.
Is there any way to revert this to AL10? It seems that the AL19 is stuck on B360 update and I'm seeing alot of posts about newer firmware and I'm really worried I might not be updated to Oreo in the future.
I hope someone can help as AL10 posts are really rare.
Cheers.
P.S
I'm not rooted, and I can't root it via Huawei anymore, hope there's a non root method.

Honor 8 bricked. DLOAD not working

Hi everyone,
My father had a problem with his Honor 8. When the new update was released it bricked the phone. Using the DLOAD, we were able to fix this problem, however he was still experiencing regular unwanted reboots. He decided to try changing the firmware again using the rollback file (from android 7.0 to 6.0) on a phone that was already on Android 6.0... Now the phone reboots on his own to the blue honor log screen and doesn't get out of it. We are not able to shut it off, nor go to DLOAD or anything. The only thing I was able to achieve was going to the fastboot. Anything else won't work.
The phone is an Honor 8 bought on Aliexpress. It's a AL10 version but the buyer had the FRD-L19 firmware installed on it. With the DLOAD, the last firmware the phone was on, was an EMUI 4.1 Android 6.0 L19 firmware.
Anyone has any solution in order to install newly a firmware and unbrick the phone please ?

Hi Grilla99,
Thanks for your feedback. Was it still under warranty ? Did you pay anything ?
Thanks

Hey i think there is a problem with new update , mine too experience same in my case my device is FRD-L02 . After several times i left the phone to Honor CARE. they said it takes upto 10-15 days also said they will replace the motherboard.
So just give it to care before with lock bootloader , dont unlock the bootloader in this case otherwise it will costs a lot. have a good day.

Nothing, just waiting for it to repair
The instant solution. Dc-pheonix , use it , buy 15 credits worth 15 euros ,flash with firmware. Then rebrand your Honor 8 using the guide here on XDA. Njoy.

True. My solution is only if out of warranty or warranty not provided!
Hi guys !
Thanks for all you answers. The phone is still under warranty so I contacted Alianz since I had a 1 year repair warranty possibilty and I sent the phone to them. I'm now waiting for them to tell me what's going to happen with the phone.
I'll keep you updated with what's going to happen and when we'll get the phone back
Thanks again !
Hi everyone,
I got the phone back from warranty and they solved the problem. I can't really tell what they did because the paper that came with it wasn't very detailed. But the phone is working perfectly anyway.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help solving this matter

How to FRP Unlock my Honor 8?

hi
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09C432B394, rooted latest magisk and twrp.
There is an OTA update, available, on the phone only, not available with HiSuite..
I would like to update, I uninstalled Magisk, But no way to replace twrp with stock recovery with latest Huawey MultiTool V8.
Don't know why but my FRP is locked.
I found some ways to solve it, AAbox2_17.11, or DC Unlocker 2, but I dont understand how it works, and I don't want to brick my phone...
I also found a tutorial to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow, this could solved my problem...
Do you have any info? Please.
thanks for your answer, I will try it with huawey tools

Try to use dload method with this firmware http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v82285/f1/full/update.zip
This is the first Nougat firmware for BLN-L21.
Once restored successfully, then you can downgrade to Marshmallow with the official rollback package if you'd like to do that, even if i strongly suggest you to don't remain out of date about updates, security patches, ecc.
Not possible to load page
Sorry, try this - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v82485/f1/full/update.zip
