Honor 8 Android 7 C900B300 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Can someone help me?
I am on an Build , called C900B300.
I dont get updates, am I able to flash my original FRD-L09C432 back?
I did the rollback with my sd kart, but why i am still on android 7 then?
HELP

You flashed ONLY the rollback package. Now you need to flash a package that contains Android 6, lime b131 (if i m not wrong

okay, i will do that. But am i able to flash back to original c432 android 7? or do i get updates?

After you flashed the full firmware (after the rollback you did already), you will be back on Stock 6.0 and you will get updates to 7.0.

There is a Honor 8 rollback package file and a full zip Android 6.0 EMUI4.1 file for your FRD-L04. The rollback zip file has a pdf with instructions. Good luck.

Well if you did a full system Wipeout using TWRP recovery I don't think you'll need the rollback file. The rollback is to downgrade your phone from Nougat to Marshmallow. I haven't used it myself but I think it helps you to keep your current data an configuration after downloading downgrading. On the other hand, if you just push the MM update.app file into the microSD's "dload" folder and make the 3-hold-button procedure, it will reformat the whole phone and relock it back to stock recovery and everything. At least that's what happens with my L14 US model when I use the full B162 update.app file.

Just to make sure, is your Honor 8's model FRD-L04C567?
If that it is your model number then go to this link and download that file. That's is the last MM EMUI4.1 full update:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=129430
Remember that you need to extract the UPDATE.APP file and place it into your microSD card's "dload" folder.

Most likely you can somehow still get your device working.
Have you tried to download UPDATE.APP of the firmware you have/had. You could use huawei update extractor to get system, boot, cust, and recovery images from it and then flash them in fastboot.

I had installed build CHM-U01 V100R001C636B190 Emui 3.0.1 (Kitkat) installed earlier, Do i have to flash the same (Kitkat) version or I can flash the new firmware like lollipop or marshmellow ??

I think it's best to test first with same firmware, because I think it has better chance to work and if it works you can install TWRP --> take back up and then safely try to update.

@hackslash can you assist him?!
@AkramRonald
There are 2 ways to solve this.
1. If you have the EMUI 5 update.app available, then extract Recovery2 from the .app file and flash it to the recovery2 partition using Fastboot.
You should not flash EMUI 5 packages through dload. You should flash a downgrade package first then the EMUI 4.1 package.
2. Tell me your model number and I'll give you a link to the firmware which you can easily flash via TWRP.

Excellent.
Those files must have been inside a zip file.
Simply install TWRP and flash those both zip files.
Then install recovery2 and perform a factory reset.

Need help fixing an Honor 8. Stuck on EMUI 4.0 after failing with custom ROMs

Hello! So I tried flashing a custom ROM to my friends Honor 8 after reading around a bit and such but it ultimately failed and now we're trying to get it back to the default ROM. We found a ROM download but it was for the version FRD-l09C900B120 which was running EMUI4.0 and Android 6.0. I also read that the "C" version he has doesn't receive any further updates, I'm failing to find anything on the correct "C" version anywhere. If anyone could guide me through the installation process for the correct and latest firmware it would be great!
On another note, the build in eRecovery doesn't seem to want to install the update package. It always fails pretty early on after connecting to WiFi, any fix for that would be great. Thanks!
Thanks for any help!
On which ROM was the custom ROM based? You should try to flash the rollback package with dload method and then flash B120 or another EMUI 4.X ROM with same method

The custom ROM was Linageos 14.1, so it wasn't anything EMUI based.
I'm gonna try and manually flash the ROM from an update.app that we downloaded from the app Firmware Finder.

We did not make a twrp backup (In hindsight we should've....)
We don't have twrp on it right not but can be fixed if needed.
We were on the latest update available to the phone which should be latest today as well. (OTA)
Flashing it manually made the phone enter a bootloop. It didn't even start the firmware. Any suggestions?
EDIT: We got into Fastboot. What are our options?
Right now your best option in my opinion is to flash Boot.img, recovery.img,cust.img and system.img that you will extract from the UPDATE.APP of your CURRENT Rom. Then just try the dload method again and again, it may not accept the firmware you try to flash but in this case just try another, but not a lower one because you need the rollback package to do that

What should we do after we've flashed TWRP? When I tried flashing LineageOS 14 it decided to fail the installation somehow and be at an endless boot animation. So I'd like to get the phone restored to EMUI5.0.

Well currently there's a broken firmware on it of FRD-L09C432B943... Or something like that.
I think at this point he's looking at getting a new phone all together.
No matter if the firmware inside isn't working properly, with fastboot you can manually flash each partition that is needed as long as USB debugging is enabled and bootloader unlocked. After flashing these cleans parts you can properly use the dload method , and if you get an error using dload method can you tell me which one is it? At least the device behavior.
I have to sleep, I'll be right back on the morning hope you'll make it this night , if don't , please be more specific and accurate when you describe the errors you faced, that way we will be more efficient when answering

If you need a full firmware then you should visit official honor site..
If you flash LineageOS on a phone without OS it won't work just because LineageOS patch the current installed System, if there is no system there is no way it will boot

I get that now and I know how to proceed in the future.
On another note, I got a good UPDATE.APP available but it refuses to install using the dload method because the versions are different. Does anyone know which partition the USERDATA.img file goes to?
You don't have to flash each single partition but dude in my opinion it's better to flash the whole UPDATE.APP, just use the rollback package and flash a lower EMUI.
Another thing: I'm currently on honor official site and I can download firmwares, you're searching in the wrong place.

Thank you for that link, I downloaded it and flashed it, I couldn't find it on any other hihonor site but this French one had it.
Again, thank you, it worked flawlessly installing and it updated instantly. You saved me from a lot of worrying and anxiety about breaking my friends phone lol.
I'm really glad to read that dude
thanks for the firmware been looking for it for very long!
btw you just saved another honor 8
