indian variant no updates - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello guys am using an Frd L02 ( Indian variant) and my phone is still stuck on January patch. Firmware Finder shows lots of updates but none are being pushed to my device. Any idea what could be the issue.
Also can i flash the firmware shown on firmware finder?

The issue is... Honor OTA system itself. xD
Best way to flash unapproved firmware installation is RedLotus method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306 (Unlocked Bootloader required - unlocking Bootloader do a Factory Reset/Wipe internal storage)

im using international rom, and flashing chinese rom...
so i think its possible for you too...
as long as you made your backup using twrp or cwm youll be fine....please made a backup first
method used
flash directly from local update
if fail, you must root your phone before you can flash
flash boot.img, recovery.img, system.img , cust.img using fastboot
you should be ok after flashing this
if bricked or cannot boot, reinstall your cwm or twrp, and install your backup
I have the same situation. I made some trials and here are the results;
I was on Chinese version B250. I udated manually to Chinese version B260 and this was successful.
I unlocked my bootloader successfully.
All trials to flash the International version B324 with Lollipop and (EMUI 3.1) have failed. I even tried with a relocked bootloader but still the same. No root or custom recovery; all stock.
Of note that I could successfully flash the International version B142 which is a Kitkat and (EMUI 3.0) but could never update to the succeeding update OTA although it is being downloaded successfully by the Huawei updater.
All flashing was through virusplus Multi-tool
These are my observations. If anyone has a better input regarding fully flashing a Chinese PE-TL10 with an International firmware with working OTA updates later on then please share it.
Thank you

Rommco05 said:
Maybe can, you have US version MM? Why after rollback you instal US version? Model rollback was NRD900... and thats something like international and after you must install correct package uff, I think this will be strange. Probably you able to install US Nougat if you have now US version MM

OTA updates were never available, since I bought it.
I fear that C432 is not the original model, as C432 is for Europe and I bought it as an international model, from Ondamobile - HK.
Perhaps it was C636 or C185 and during one past upgrade C432 was installed...I am not sure.
The device is also rooted, and it is stable. Rebranding failled because bootloader is Unlocked. I think I am stuck permanently with this B581 rom

HELP Stuck in EU version

Hi my device is Bln-L22C675 indian version I have rebranded my device to EU version by flashing eu oeminfo now my device is Bln-L21C435. now I have used rollback package for eu version downgraded to mm then again using official update upgraded to nougat.
But this eu version not supporting volte. im not getting volte. so I decided to go back to indian version by flasing IN oeminfo but every time it saying flashing eu oem. I have downloaded every indian oeminfo files on xda but the result was it flashing eu oem instead of in oem. I have wiped 5 times all partitions using elite twrp formated data but still it flashing eu oem. I tried to flash in oeminfo on emui 4&5 no use. I tried to use hauwei tool to restore my in oeminfo but the tool is not working. I tried to manually copy the indian oem from root explorer I changed cust and oem with permissions still on Bln-L22.
Anyone can tell me a way that I have didn't tried to solve this problem.
Solved! after a long google search I found a tool SRKT tool which is for honor 7&8,p9 lite but there is no honor 6x model. so I chooses honor p9 lite and applied asia oem file after reboot and factory rest my device name changed to some onxy A180 a15generic device.
now I have tried another way. I have downloaded oem file l22c675b340 and custom bin from xda and kept them in restore oem and custombin. I have extracted oem file there. now connected the device attempted to restore and it was success. now my device showing l22 after reset. then flashed l22c675b340 firmware. now I got an update for volte for all networks. for reset I have used elite rom.

How to downgrade firmware?

I have a new SHT-AL09 with 172 firmware and a locked bootloader.
This firmware prohibits DC-Unlocker from reading the bootloader unlock code.
How do I downgrade to a previous firmware?
Try HuRUpdater: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/unbrick-mediapad-m5-install-otas-t3856312
You should be able to install TWRP even with locked bootloader. Download the full OTA and follow the HuRUpdater instructions.
Has anyone tried it yet?
Don't want to be the first, since I do not feel too comfortable and I am awqy for a few days

I think there is very little risk. Even when the downgrade fails, you should be able to just flash 172 again with HuRUpdater to restore back the original state. Don’t try to rollback too far, install the last version prior to 172 and try dc unlocker again.
I asked on a german Forum and got the response that TWRP cannot be installed with locked BL - which I find somewhat logical - however, I am reaching for the unlikely event that I can get an open Bootloader somehow....
I am a little confused by the instructions. I have to put the TWRP.img in the folder on the SD Card together with the HuRUpdater.zip file and the firmware zip files. But then what? How do I flash anything?

I cannot flash TWRP with my locked bootloader. I get an error FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) when I try this when the M5 is in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Found this on the last page of the HuRUpdater thread:
Absolute prerequisite: unlocked bootloader
I don't have this so is there another way to downgrade the firmware?
OK, bummer. You can try the dload method, not sure if that works for downgrades though: dload

Firmware Finder apparently does not work with EMUI8 anymore.
And there is no rollback package available for the M5.
I have always found a solution for these kind of problems on XDA (and I have had a bricked device or two) but for the moment I am at a loss.
Guess I will have to learn to live without root and with the stock Huawei firmware...

Sorry mate, tough luck. ? I think the hardware of the device is pretty nice, but the stock firmware is so full of crap and spyware, totally unacceptable.
when downgrading using dload, check for xloader version first.

I jut downgraded my M5 AL19-CMR 8.0.0.172 back to 8.0.0.161 without any problems.

For my SHT-AL09 there is no older firmware on androidhost.ru than B172.
I have downloaded the B163 and B152 firmware through Huawei Firmware Finder and I can extract it with HuaweiUpdateExtractor but then what?

From my latest findings:
Bootloader need to be unlocked for DOWNGRADE to sucess in firmware mode with a working dload service repair firmware.
With locked bootloader you'll only be able to DOWNGRADE in eRecovery mode with the latest firmware approved (It will be a downgrade only if said version is the latest approved fetched in eRecovery and inferior to yours current)
I did not find yet how the latest firmware shown/available in eRecovery is fetched into eRecovery. I think it happens in normal mode sometimes when you're connected online. You'll then have to reboot later to eRecovery to be shown...
Now, for your SHT-AL09 B172 with august 2018 secutity patches, the only way to downgrade is to get your unlock code and vice&versa.
Luckyly, third-party sellers are just starting to provide working bootloader's unlock code online for around 30~50€.
New devices are supported.
You just pay, gave them Model ID, IMEI1, Serial, Product ID and you'll get your code within the next hours.
You just pay, gave them Model ID, IMEI1, Serial, Product ID and you'll got it within the next hours. I already tested it on few devices.
FunkyHuawei does it for 130€ per device with other services included.

I am also interested in rooting M5. Where you able to downgrade the tablet from B172 to B161?
No
I am also looking for a way to downgrade my Mediapad M5.
I have Hauwei MediaPad M5 CMR-AL09 (C432) currently running 8.0.0.192. dc-unlocker does not work with this version so I can not unlock bootloader.
This is what I have done:
* Format external sdcard into exfat. I used my Ubuntu Linux computer for this, sudo mkfs.exfat /dev/sdx1.
* Put the empty sdcard into the tablet.
* Download android app "Firmware Finder for Huawei" and I choose CMR-AL09C432B161 (8.0.0.161) FullOTA-MF. Downloaded that into update.zip file.
* I use android app FX File Explorer to get read/write access to the mediacard and to create the dload folder.
* I used android app FX File Explorer to extract only UPDATE.APP file into mediacard and the dload folder. The file is around 4.2GB in size when extracted. I also tried to put all files into dload folder but with the same result below.
* Open dialer and type in *#*#2846579#*#*. Go to software upgrade and choose SDCard upgrade. The tablet will now restart and do the downgrade.
* Problem now is that it goes into 5% and then fails.
Am guessing there is some protection to downgrade into 8.0.0.161 version.
Guys.. Let's solve this. :crying:

Hmhm. I downgraded my Mediapad M5 Pro from 8.0.0.172 to 8.0.0.161
This is what I did:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...uer-huawei-mediapad-m5-ab-08-2018.892304.html
(short paraphrase of my downgrade-"guide" at android-hilfe.de)
1) check xloader-version
2) Download the potential downgrade from androidfilehost.ru (this worked for me, again, M5 PRO (CMR-AL19), Europe! https://androidhost.ru/byu )
2.1) The structure inside is firmware-name>software>dload
2.2) copy dload onto your SD (root directory)
3)The downgrade-process
3.1) power off the device
3.2) Volume up AND down AND Power Button for some seconds
3.3) Downgrade should start! If folder is not recognized, a Pink screen will appear - just do it from the start.
After rebooting, you should then have the version you wanted to downgrade to.
I have done this several times ( accidently updated once or twice )and it worked without any trouble.
The 5% thing: it stayed at 5% for quite some time. But it always went on after some time, at least for me
I read somewhere, sometime ago that with Firmware Finder the security check that is somewhere included in the file is not removed and therefore you cannot use those files. It seems imperative to me that one uses androidhost.ru (no guarantee that this information is right - so feel free to correct me )
ah, sorry only now I realized that you specified CMR-AL09, we had someone do it for SHT-AL-09, sorry :-/
but why don't you try the files from androidhost.ru (download the correct firmware! I linked the one for the M5 Pro! )
Thanks kev1807 for the input.
I tried the firmware you linked to for Huawei MediaPad M5 CMR-AL09 (C432) version 8.0.0.161. It did not work.
I found the version 8.0.0.190 on androidfilehost.ru and that worked. So I have now downgraded from 8.0.0.192 to 8.0.0.190 but that will not help me much. Downgrading into 8.0.0.161 still does not work.
I was on 8.0.0.192 and manage to use the file
"Huawei MadiaPad M5 CMR-AL19 hw eu Cameron-AL09A 8.0.0.190(C432) Firmware 8.0.0 r1 EMUI8.0 05014XYB [androidhost.ru]"
I have tried these packages but they have not worked.
