the phone was soft-bricked (boot-looping in the huawei initial animation), when i failed to instal correctly the update from b326 to b511, the bootloader was locked and the phone wasn't rooted, but i managed to solve both things, then i tried to restore a twrp backup of b511, since that was the version i tried to update to in the begining, after the restore, it was stuck yet again in boot loop but this time it only shows the initial huawei picture, so my cuestion is if there is some way to reinstall an older firmware, say b326, because when i did a backup so i could use the folder to store the files for the b511, the containing carpet name included b326, or if someone has a twrp backup for b326 that could share, it would be really apreciated
cheers
p.s.: i don't know if i should use some sort of rollback or how to use it, so any guidance would be really helpful
p.s.2: fooling around i just did another backup with twrp an it says that it has the b511 version, but i would love to go back to b326
p.s.3: i tried to run diferent stock recoveries and it only runs MM version, even when i flash recovery, boot, cache, cust, system and userdata from b326, it only let me run the MM recovery, aside of TWRP
nevermind, i finally solved it
so, with the b511 backup, you download it and change the s/n in the recovery txt, restore it with twrp and when you're going to reboot it, don't install the suggested SU, just let it run as it is and it will get into MM, then you flash the stock recovery using "recovery mate7 mobopx v2.1 translate by chudy_85" and follow the steps in this thread

Hi guys, I’m from China , and I have the phone P9 EVA-AL00(3G/32G) dual sim
I’ve unlocked my phone and flashed the ROM B168 version edited by Kangvip who is famous in Huawei forum, before I flashed my phone I followed the instruction backup the “System” “cust” and “boot” totally three folders of original ROM (also B168 version) with TWRP,
I think this can help us go back to the original System and OTA to the newest version.

Could you send me the method for Unlocking Bootloader, Installing Recovery, Rooting Phone, and then maybe installing a custom ROM if you have time? I have the EVA-AL00 also. I would like to install the European variant software. BETA Nougat 7.0 and 5.0 EMUI. Please let me know. Thanks again.
Hi guys,
I bought the "new" Moto X Style last week for 250€(new, white, 32gb) and updated it to the highest Android 6.0 version from Motorola. After that, i flash the OTA-file from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/ota-moto-x-style-android-7-0-nougat-t3630248
After that, i unlock the bootloader, flash TRWP, clean the data and create a System backup:
https://xda.bioharz.xyz/2017-07-15--06-20-47_NPH25.200-15.7z
This is unmodified! and unrootedI actually have no time to create a System image, but this should also work for you.
I hope this can help you.
Thanks,
One question, this backup work in XT1572 CID12?

Probably failing SafetyNet API check but what is the error?
Nougat will fail if the bootloader is unlocked and you don't have the Magisk module to stop SafetyNet. In Nougat an unlocked bootloader is enough to get it to fail even if otherwise 100% stock.
Netflix could also be confused as to your region if you restored the backup in this thread.

Magisk 13.3 can help with the safety net test. Here is how to install at stock: post #4

That's good advice!! Thanks I'll try it later and see how it goes
What is the proper way to flash this backup using TWRP? I did a adb push to /sdcard with al files from the extracted .7z file but TWRP can't ze the backup.
What am I doing wrong?

Extract the backup zip file. Copy the last folder (containing the boot and system images) to your phone's TWRP Backup folder. Now you will see it in TWRP. Now perform a full backup. Then restore the copied-over nougat backup. Now you can pick on of the following two options.
1. f you have time, you do not need to delete your data before rebooting. You can always uninstall and reinstall any problem apps that show up after rebooting. That is what I did.
2. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can delete your data and then reboot. That would be called a "clean install" and I don't do that very often.
Hope this helps.
@bioharz
Cheers for this. I was contemplating what method might be easiest for upgrading my rooted Moto X Style (EU) from MM 6.01 to Nougat 7.0. Ideally, this would have been a TWRP flashable ZIP, however, you have provided the second best option, which is a TWRP backup.
My method was as follows:
1) Make full TWRP backup of existing MM installation to extSD
2) Backup my Nova settings to extSD
3) Download, unzip and copy your backup to the TWRP location on extSD
4) Boot into TWRP and wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System and Data partitions via Advanced Wipe menu
5) Flash System and Boot partitions from your Nougat backup, BUT NOT EFS partition !!!
6) Reboot, log onto previous Google Account and restore all apps.
7) Restore Nova settings
8) Root with SuperSU (systemless) and SuHide
Worked a treat :good:
Are you sure - you need nougat with old radios?
You could reflash stock MM, update to Nougat, root, restore all you want. @Yemble
Will it work on moto x style Indian variant?

I am certain that I do not wish to screw up my phone with someone elses IMEI. Besides, what exactly is wrong with the MM radios? They are working perfectly on my phone.
Actually, given that I am now in a good position to experiment further, I have flashed the Nougat EFS partition on its own to my phone. Thankfully, it did not affect the IMEI or any network connectivity (SIM or WiFi). However, it has not changed the base band version either, so it may, in fact, be identical to the MM EFS anyway!

Take a TWRP backup first, then give it a go. What have you got to lose?
I suggest that you try it without the EFS partition first. If that works, take another TWRP backup and then try flashing EFS on its own.
@coolncoolest @Yemble
Don't flash/restore EFS from another phone - you can lose your IMEI.
India - RetAsia version has the same baseband as RetEu - cid7.
Dual sim probably will not work.

Clearly you are wrong about this (on this particular phone model), as I have already tried it and it proved that it did not break, or change, anything! I am aware that flashing EFS can be dangerous on older Samsung phones, hence my cautious approach that you appeared to be dissing in your previous post
I believe in hard facts, rather then hearsay. I have now upgraded three XT1572 (EU) phones from the posted TWRP image using the method that I outlined previously, together with the later flashing of the EFS partition. All three phones work perfectly and all three pass SafetyNet.
Someone else may be less fortunate than you and there is no reason to flash/restore efs.
Not only Samsung can lost imei in this way - Lenovo(+tablets), other Moto series, all Mtk devices(there is easy way to restore imei).
For Moto I don't know any restoring procedure. Sorry - one - mainboard replacement. @Yemble

Do you mean:
Nougat with old radios?
I meant:
Flash stock 6.0.1 24...58-5 with fastboot and get ota update.
Somewhere I uploaded my backup(6.0.1 EU) - without efs.
