Hello Guys,
I have the european Version of the Honor 6x. After flashing a custom rom I wanted to come back to Stock Emui. But now I have a few problems with my Honor device. In the settings it isn't called Honor 6x any more, but generic-a15.
A huge part of the build.prop got lost so many things like f.e. the camera or the loudspeekers do not work any more.
Could someone maybe share the stock build.prop with me, so that I can solve at least one of the problems?
Thanks
In this case, the build.prop won't be helpful. You gotta flash the version.img of your actual firmware through fastboot or TWRP.
You can extract the version.img file with Huawei Update Extractor tool. You have to pull it out from the biggest update package that weights something like 1,49GB, usually "update.zip".

Yeah the thing is, huawei wont publish the firmware online anymore, if you try to find the img in the net you cannot find it at all
Huawei did that, true, but luckily there is another site on which all the update packages are uploaded. Just look for yours here http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ you only have to write your build number and grab the file.
I messed up my build.prop with some "tweaks" (Thanks Zack. They don't work at all.). so could somebody else provide an original build.prop for BLN-L21? Thanks in advance.

Hello there,
My first post here. It is a big forum, so I have to find my way.
Hope you can help me.
Some info:
My device is a Huawei Y550 L01.
The bootloader is unlocked and my device is rooted.
It ran Android KitKat 4.4.4 but I did install cyanogenmod 11 and it looked great.
Problems began when I installed a new boot-theme. It was booting over and over again with the new boot-theme. (bootloop).
I did several things: try to recover the back-up, try to re-install cyanogenmod 11, wiped cache, dalvik cache, system etc. Nothing worked so far. I think my phone is bricked now.
It now only boots in twrp.
So I read the thread of Dimspace:
IVE BRICKED MY PHONE!
Download the full Huawei Y550 rom from Here (You want the penultimate file - y550 build 239
Download the Huawei update extractor from the same link
Run update extractor and extract the rom
Copy the entire folder "dload" to the root of your sdcard (so there is a folder on your sd card called dload containing the update file)
Hold down all physical buttons on your phone - volume up, volume down and power at once

Info is very helpful :good:, but I am not sure what to do. I think I have to install the full Huawei Y550 Rom, like described above, but do not know exactly how. I downloaded the Huawei update extractor and the Y550 rom (think I need the build 246 version instead of the 239).
My question is:
- any others solutions in how to get my device working again?
- do I need to extract the Update.app file, which is in the Huawei Y550 rom, before putting it in the dload folder of my sd-card?
I can see the files with the Huawei update extractor. Do I have to extract those files and afterwards transfer the files (in the dload folder) to the sd-card?

Solved this problem, after reading the thread "Everything Huawei Y550". There is a lot of information.
Here is what I did:
I downloaded the stock rom (build 246) to my pc. Extracted it and copied the dload folder with the update app to my sd-card: I extracted only the folder, not the update.app. Then did a forced update by holding both volume buttond and the power-on button. Released the power button after the huawei logo was coming up and after i saw the progression bar (for installing the rom) i released the volume buttons. Worked very good, thanks to the people in the "Everything Huawei Y550" forum.
Hello,
My device is the Mate 9 (MHA-L29C185B110) and I seem to have a problem with the camera.
When pressing the button to take a photo, the camera app restarts itself. I try again, but didn't work, to no avail.
I also tried to record a video. It seems to work, but the camera freezes but it's still counting, otherwise recording.
I have just recently flashed a custom recovery img (TWRP), the boot img on another thread that prevents the device from being automatically encrypted, and SuperSU root.
Do any of you have a solution to this problem?
Would this be because I haven't flashed Public_data.zip and Full_HW_data.zip?
And will this problem fix if I completely install the MHA-L29C185B172's firmware?

It could be a problem if you flashed a boot image for a different model. You need boot image for C185B110. It should work without hw and Public zips, but a lot of other things break without flashing those. Updating to C185B172 will fix it.
By the way, which supersu did you use?
If the one from the "Decrypt" thread in Guides you don't need to flash a pre-decrypted boot image, the installer does it for you.

As for the SuperSU, I think I took it from the full root guide w/o decrypt img, but obviously I had to use a decrypt img because of stock
SUPERSU-2.79-MATE9-init.d_support
For the boot (No force encryption boot)
This is probably where things went wrong. I flashed the wrong build image.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/stock-boot-img-library-t3573312
I had to use above link because I couldn't flash SuperSU since I don't have an external sd to extract it from (Since you have to format your data before flashing it)
I couldn't find the hw and public zips for C185B110, so if you have it, a link would be generous.
Would flashing stock boot img for MHA-L29C185B110 fix it?
and what would happen if i flash stock boot.img?
and do you have a decrypt boot.img for C185B110?
Thanks!

It would probably fix it yes, but no boot image or hw/public exist for B110 so I'm guessing it shipped with that build.
You'd have to update, using https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
I don't think you can use Firmware Finder as you're probably missing the System Update feature.
Either that one I linked or FunkyHuawei, but Funky cost money to use.
Thanks,
I will try using the link you used.
although it is not clear.
On manual update step A, do you need to download all three?
the base, the OS(windows) and the model?
and where do i put these files?
and on b and c on update zip
do i have to download two update.zip?
for example, C185B110 and C185B172
do i also need to download full ota instead of just ota? fullota is incompatible, says firmware finder on mobile

Yes, download base, os and MHA. Extract all to the same folder. You should only have one folder named HWOTA and the files/folders in that. If it extracts to a folder with the same name as the zips, enter the folders and copy hwota folder then go back one folder and paste/merge so you end up with one folder named HWOTA. Easiest way is putting it directly in C:\hwota\, if your windows version allows it. Else place it on desktop. (long file paths or a path containing spaces might make hwota not function correctly).
You need to download all 3 files (fullota update.zip, hw zip and Public zip), easiest way is using firmware finder to download. Either mobile or the pc version. For pc go to the common base tab and search for your model and then download the build you want including public and HW zips.
You only need to download the fullota update, hw and Public zip of the build you're updating to. If you're on b110 and going to update to B172 you only need to download B172.
Rename the files according to the guide (update.zip, update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip), place them in either hwota/update folder or make a HWOTA folder on your sdcard and put the renamed files there.
When running hwota, select script update folder or sdcard update folder depending on where you put the files. Select same model update.
One last question:
Does it have to be FULLOTA, not just OTA?
long story short i now have no os on my US honor 6x. I was on 7.0. I just want to return to stock everything. Is is possible?

did u erase vendor, product too ??
if u did- u need huawei update extractor which is mentioned in above link(I personally didn't try this tool - so can't comment on that)
i don't have same model number but this following method works most probably if u haven't messed so much or didn't clear vendor or product
extract one of the large file which u downloaded(probably around 1.5gigs) and place d extracted files in 'dload' folder on sd card
hold 3 buttons at a same time- may be it starts installing
@shashank1320 could guide u in more exact direction.
@sreekantt Thanks for tag.
So @BakedOnSomeSour you have already downloaded 3 files. Now, extract all 3 separately and see which all contains update.app file (mostly it will be in 1st and 2nd zip file)
Now, use dload method given here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
Extract the 1st file, put the content in dload folder, flash.
extract 2nd file, put the content in dload folder, flash.
If, 3rd file contains the update.app, extract and flash this also.
hope this will be solved.

Hi Guys,
Someone please guide me to flash Android Pie on my G8142. I have already downloaded G8142_Customized VN_1309-2181_47.2.A.0.306_R3C firmware via XperiFirm.
Note -
Locked BL
Currently on 47.1.A.16.20
Thanks in advanced.
Hi, frankly speaking, as your BL is blocked you should/can wait only some few days, it should come over the air very soon
Hi, I also have a locked bootloader, and its still locked after flashing the update using newflasher
all I did was download the VN firmware from xpericheck app that is integrated in flashtool application.
then I downloaded newflasher and it was a zip file, I extracted it, copied all files in it and pasted them in the same folder where the firmware files at, then ran newflasher, and thats it
I have Pie.
Did you delete any of the .TA files prior to flashing?
Hi @madshark2009,
can you provide me any guidelines to do it. I'm new to Sony.
@kw0n2k
No,all I did was simply flash using newflasher
@werty733
here is how i did it:
download xperifirm application:
https://softfamous.com/xperifirm-tool/
when you launch it, select Xperia XZ Premium (the dual one)
then you will get a bunch of fimrwares for different regions, simply select the VN region and it should show on the far right "latest update available" with a number of 47.2.A.0.306
download that to an empty folder of your choice
after download completed, download newflasher from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426
download v13, you will get a ZIP file, copy all files in the file to the same folder where you downloaded the firmware files.
then simply run newflasher from that folder, press n for the first option, and another n for the second option, then it should start doing the magic, after its done, youre set. hope that helped
@madshark2009 thanks, will try your method and update.
@madshark2009 sorry I meant, the new firmware files that you downloaded with xpirifirm, the .TA files in that. correct me if im wrong, but i thought you had to delete them prior to flashing as it might over ride your DRM keys.
@kw0n2k
I dont think so, because i checked my keys stats and they are all ok, no one answered me that officially so i cant give you a concrete answer but i dont think flashing an update resets your drm, we all have been doing it before, i have done it before on oreo and nougat so yah, but get a more officially approved answer from a dev here better for you not to do anything that could harm your device on my word alone
Cheers mate
@madshark2009 Yeah, I converted my G8142 to G8141 cause I couldnt get VolTE in Australia. From what i read, i was under the assumption that .TA files had to be deleted on the new firmware prior to flashing as to not lose your DRM keys. But if you've done it and everything's fine, happy days! I'll just flash normally without deleting any files from now on.
the good @munjeni have exclu .ta in the script no problem for flash with any problem
@madshark2009, it worked perfectly without any issues. but I'm very disappointed there is no Gestures.
I want to be able to root after erecovery and update to latest version. I know magisk can patch boot img for reflashing via fastboot.
Question is, how to extract original boot img?
I know there are tutorials, but they reference specific block that seems to be device dependent. Or am I making it too complicated?

You need the UPDATE.APP for the boot img.
You can find in Huawei Firmware Finder for your Version,download the Update.zip and unzip,inside is the UPDATE.APP.
Extract UPDATE.APP with Huawei Extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Copy extracted Boot on your Phone and install Magisk and Patch the File
The patched File save Magisk on internal Memory,copy on your Pc and flash via Fastboot.
Your Bootloader must be unlocked!
Thanks for the run down. I'll give it a go.

Same Problem in 181 ,but in Settings uncheck :
1:Verify header checksum
and
2:Verifiy file checksum
Unchecking the 2 checksum checks you asked me to check opens up the update.app app-ropriately.
(couldn't resist )
Thanks for the help.
Baby stepping is driving me nuts.
I'm able to extract the update.app file but there is no "boot.img" in the several archives I looked at. Does it go by a different name? list attached.

Ramdisk.img
I've finally had a moment to sit down and put it all together. Got my latest stock oreo rom rooted. Feel confident I can do PIE if it ever shows up for me in the US. Thanks for the tutorial Letschky.
As luck would have it, PIE update arrived after tweaking up the rooted Oreo. Ready to root PIE, but there is no "ramdisk.img" in my downloaded 9.0.0.181 archive.
Has the name changed for PIE or is it a bad archive?
