Honor 8 AL00 update failed

Hello everyone,
I come to you because I am exhausted about an update that failed, and I have no idea to how to solve this problem although I tried innobracle things since almost two months (after-sales service, forums, test install firmwares ...) !
The problem is that I live in France and I bought a china/asiatic (?) version of the Honor 8 (FRD-AL00) instead of an european version (FRD-AL09) and so I received an update that was not compatible.
I was in Android 7.0 and EMUI 4.1 maybe... and this update soft-bricked the phone (eRecovery menu). Therefore I had to flash a ROM.
First I tried a lot of firmwares with Android 7 and Emui 5.0, but it did not work.
Then I tried to rollback the version. I used an intermediate file to prepare restoring (FRD-LXX EMUI5.0 + Android7.0 to EMUI4.1 + Android6.0) and I installed the firmware FRD-AL10C00B175_android6.0_emuie4.1 (so AL10 and not AL00). That was the first time that I succeed to install something, but that was a chinese version, and actually it does not work, I loop on the setup menu at the launch, when you have to choose the language.
Then I tried install again other firmwares but nothing works! All versions I tried not works "Incompatible with the current version" in eRecovery.
I search a lot on internet, on forums etc... and I did not find anything exept the fact that the original ROM was certainly an edited ROM, installed by the importer, which is an european version that can be installed on AL00.
A solution that worked for people who dit not rollback their version is to flash this edited ROM version (h t t p s : / / yadi.sk/d/_2GHOvkr3Num8B) , from this tutorial (h t t p s : / / translate.google.fr/translate?hl=fr&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.frandroid.com%2Ftopic%2F261625-gros-probleme-mise-%C3%A0-jour-emui%2F%3Fpage%) (original tutorial : h t t p s : / / translate.google.fr/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2F4pda.ru%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D808947%26st%3D4960%23entry66154729&edit-text=&act=url).
I tried and it did not work because I did the rollback maybe.
So... do you have any solution?
I tried to install tens and tens of incompatible firmwares. Do you know what firmware version could work to restart my phone?? (For example I tried all Full-MF versions (h t t p s : / / boycracked.com/2017/06/15/official-huawei-honor-8-frd-al00-stock-rom-firmware/) and a lot in Android 6)
Another solution is to unlock the bootloader to force install the edited Rom Version, but I don't want to totally brick the phone...!! :crying:
So what are your recommendations?
Thank you in advance,
I really hope you can help me!

Thanks for your response, but I have already tried to install all these full update you gave me in the link, and it doesn't work.
I just spent 40 minutes with Honor, to get a contact with the after sale service in China to get the original firmware version that was installed on the phone.
I think if I have the original version I could work.
Actually the only version that success to install (not saying that it's incompatible with the current version) is FRD-AL10C00B175_android6.0_emui4.1, but it doesn't work well (indeed it's for AL10 and not AL00 !)

Good morning every one,
ALL BLUE STUFF is "EDIT " no I meant RED
added DUMBnical details of my issues
Problem was : emui 3.1 android 5.1 NOUGAT ? burk brik recover recovery
portable bloqué - flashage raté, flash portable , android 5.1 montre le sigle nougat, impossible installer twrp impossible re lock bootloader , encryption bloquée.. euh...récupération version, mauvais numéro model ou region ou problème flashing tout court etc...
had been 4 days I've been trying to sort myself out but the more I try .. the more trouble I'm in... At start i had bricked (huh ?) mobile ..
followed this course : (run forest come on)
How to Un-Brick a Factory Reset Protected Huawei Mate 9 (please notice underneath the Blue section, this is why I've done this C636 thingy which never happened anyway and got me since wwith this awfull bugy version)
This part of the guide requires a bit of background information to fully understand how and why FRP (Factory Reset Protection) engages on Huawei devices. This is basically an “anti-theft” security feature meant to prevent a thief from factory resetting your phone – unfortunately, it basically locks you out of fastboot / bootloader mode.
FRP tends to be activated when you try to “Reset to Default” in the developer options while the bootloader is already unlocked. The “OEM Unlock” setting will become disabled after you unlock the bootloader, and because FRP is engaged, you cannot change it back. You will need to flash the original stock firmware, which will completely reset your Huawei Mate 9 to factory condition.
The problem is that except for two firmware regions (C636 and AL00) , Huawei Mate 9 stock firmware cannot be directly flashed.
Furthermore, the method for rooting the Huawei Mate 9 involves formatting the Data partition through TWRP custom recovery – unfortunately, much of the Huawei apps are stored on the Data partition (camera, system updates, etc.).
So if your Huawei Mate 9 becomes bricked after unlocking and installing TWRP, you will need to rebrand your device’s OEMINFO to C636, flash the C636 firmware, and use a tool like “Firmware Finder” to flash back to your regional firmware and stock recovery.
blablablabla
I was on a MHA L09 C438b194 and - god knows why if he knows - I ended up with a version of M300 L09 NRD90M which is supposed to have emui 3.1 and android 5.1.
My problems are ... many .
I know first mistake I've done - when twrp worked - was to change the OEMinfo files following a tuto which I don't know why I've done so . yep dumb...if you fear to do something silly... just do(n't) it ?)
So I've change my version from EURO to china or something like that.. well I'm a world champignon ! (oh yeah, a full bucket of it I would say)
First of all no matter what I try from previous ? knowledge ? (huh no what lait-je? what milk I ?) (ex P8,P9 user) i cannot instal TWRP or CWM ...
Secondo when factory reset from android or from Vol up and power button my bootloader , after rebooting the mobile comes back Locked...I get the option development enable, set usb debogage , CANNOT set OEM , reboot and... bootloader unlock . (waaaaoooouuhh)
Reboot again ? try to flash it ? Wrong password or command not allowed (been tryin with everything like SKRtools huawei tools etc..) or boot at risk lol hell yeah you are pal !
Oh as well when i check the android version (5.1) it shows a N of nougat !? lollipop ?
want an ice cream perhaps?
As well as when i reboot mobile is says the RED message FAILED VERIFICATION and so many other things i probably forget to tell you.. (sorted too !)
ooohh shut up will ya .
Even if I was to trying to relock/unlock bootloader it either ends up with "false command not allowed" or worst : wrong password .
no say about the "failed root type is risk and other many troubles I've been through for the last 4 days ...
I am , of course , terribly disapointed of myself and hopeless.. I didn't want to annoy you guyz with my mistakes as I am a big fan of your work and been reading topics/tuto here on XDA for many years... so tried a lot of solutions from here...
Bla Bla bla is Jeremy Clarckson around here or what ?
So please could any 1 whose got a clue ... help me : first get back TWRP in ( i could back up oem info with it and copy/paste them for my original one MHA-L09 C438 )
and as well get rid of this awfull work of mine and rebrand my Mate 9 to original firmware/stock version ..
I put into your amazing brains my poor and little sorry bump ;( praying you could help me breathing again. I'm desesperated of such ...well dumb me .
Thank you in advance for further help or questions and my apologies for my Frenchglish .
aaaaah finaly you shut it up !
some infos from "about" :
M300-L09 NRD90M - emui 3.1 and android 5.1 (nougat? see above)
mha-tugl_vn2 Emui solution version b051
parameter version Cversion C432 Dversion Cust
Product component version = MHA 4.0.0.5
EDIT : ALL TAGed RED IS from EDIT - Got sorted out on me own ... as a dumb getting clever ,, can you ever imagine that ?
I'm outa here for a wee (did you know a human being can hold up to two liters of ... oui oui ?), been a week already... will pop back 'round later to - shorthly and simply (? really ?) explain what i done to ...become a tiny bit of a more clever dumb . It wasn't hard in fact...now I come to think about it

Nokia 3 8.0 Root - Is there a working method, or NOT?

Hello,
this is the very first time here at XDA Developers Forum that I do not find clear information about rooting a smartphone. I am talking about this Nokia 3 updated with OREO 8.0. Only a lot of confusion reading your posts, sirs. Nobody that is telling if rooting this model is possibile or not. So... can anyone says if it is possibile and how to do that, in a clear and simple manner?
Thanks and regards!

this thread should be on Q&A.

Hello,
thanks for your reply. I already read this thread.
So since I am on OREO, it seems I have firstly to downgrade to Nougat. Can someone please tell me how to do that, posting links to the official 7.0 rom, the software and a short guide? Somewhere I read you have to use OST, somewhere else SP Flash Tool...
Thanks in advance and regards

Hello again...
I am trying to downgrade my Nokia 3 8.0 to Nougat, in order to unlock the bootloader.
I have searched a lot for an official 7.0 rom... nothing official... I tryed to follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3/development/nokia-3-official-firmware-india-uae-t3674320
Managed to install and get a working copy of OST. Connected and start flashing the rom NE1-147I-ind-0-00WW-B02.nb0 (the one I thought it was the earlier one, since nobody wrote "7, 8, or another number" in the file name). OST got stuck at "Reflash service bootloader..."
Can anyone please write a clear guide on how to proceed to root a Nokia 3 OREO that was never ever unlocked before (i mean with bootload never unlocked)? I am going crazy, really...

flash UAE version of nb0 if IND doesn't flash, that's Android 7.0 May 2017 Security Patch, unlock and lock bootloader there and apply OTA updates from notification up to latest update. Then follow guide.

which ost la version you have?

I finally managed to downgrade to Nougat 7.0.
Now, in order to get root, do I have to unlock bootloader first? Can I obtain the code only via a request to the_laser (that didn't answer me) or can I use an online tool ?

you need to unlock bootloader first, and you can PM code i will send you key, use only OTA through notification, don't use OST LA for this guide.

Hi,

how to downgrade mate 9 from Emui 9 to Emui 7 ?

I have unlock code of my mate 9, and it works as well.. i try to downgrade my mate 9 to Emui 7 but it can't be downgraded since huawei security .
anybody knows how to downgrade mate 9 from Emui 9 to Emui 7 ?

bootloader change i mean xloader therefore only mate 9 oreo latest is the last downgrade firmware. If u use hurupdater or twrp or any method will brick the phone for sure. Dun try.

You can't! Don't even try it or your phone will die.

Yes, you can! I did it twice. You have to connect with huawei software, windows preferred, go to update. You have to perform 2 downgrades, 1st to 9.0.1 and second to 8.0xxx.

Oreo is not EMUI 7 (Though, there is no EMUI 7. Nougat was EMUI 5).
New, updated, bootloader was added in Oreo so that's the furthest you can downgrade.
But your method is the only safe way of doing it.
I've downgraded from 9.1 to 9.0 fine using NoCheck, but going back to 8.0 may brick (Depends on build you downgrade to)
Downgrading from 9.1 to 8.0 directly using NoCheck will brick and requires test-point to fix.

So, just to confirm please - even by TestPoint it is not possible to downgrade from 9.01 to 8.0 but before the Bootloader was changed (to be able to obtain BL code the 'old way', from DC)?

You can downgrade to board firmware using testpoint, then get bl code through HCU (which is needed anyway because board wipes imei and stuff). You'd then have to update from board to Oreo using dload. The dload needs to be from after bootloader was updated, else you will get a black screen only. (but you can use testpoint again to flash board again).

bonjour j'ai pu retrograder je suis a la version 8.0.0.379 mais impossible d'avoir le code via hcu
