https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
then stock recovery from this
https://mega.nz/#!cbJFAIQD!qvp1KnZ0qxlg6nHDFmpM5qyZ9QUVIDe5PoZE0BQf8fs

for first time its asks need verified google account then again hit factory reset it will do factory reset then reboot.
it will stay at bootlogo screen for 30-40 secs then boots.
your bootloader will be locked again even after flashing via huru so be prepared and need to enable oem unlock on developer options.
Good luck
FYI: If you play PUBG you may noticed lag in emui 5, china emui 8 & elemental rom but there is no lag in india emui 8 & gsi roms and the good news is india emui 8 consumes less battery for PUBG game than gsi roms you may notice 40% difference in battery.
Fix for incomplete flashing via huru
If your themes not working then you have flashed it incompletely follow these steps to make it perfect.
Download HWOTA
If your bootloader locked then go to developer options enable oem unlock and USB debugging.
Now go to fastboot unlock your bootloader.
Now go to stock recovery do factory reset then reboot to FASTBOOT now open HWOTA 8 copy firmware files in update folder and rename them as suggested in hwota thread.
Now open update. Eng if its not working then open update. Bat press 2 hit enter then again enter it will install twrp now unplug USB cable hold the volume up and power button reboot to twrp recovery.
Now goto wipe then formate data by typing yes it should formate data without any errors if it shows errors at beginning with red colour then you need to flash stock recovery again do complete factory reset then flash twrp do format it will do without errors.
Now go to main screen of twrp hit reboot to recovery
After booting to twrp now press enter two times on hwota 8 tool now select 2 hit enter then select 1 hit enter then it will show same brand bln then press enter it will start copying firmware files then it will automatically reboot to dload and starts flashing. remove USB cable after it starts flashing.
After update finishes hold vol up button when it's rebooting.
Now it will boot to emui recovery do factory reset. If it stuck at 99% do it again then reboot now you will have fully working smooth emui 8.
ROOT FOR EMUI 8
download twrp then flash this magisk you will have root.
https://mega.nz/#!a5EUBbyL!L3oqIV22YBUKzk9buLenlL8Bks-g--Pq8MmGgtkbZcY
Currently there is no sound mod for emui 8 if you try to flash viper or dolbyatmos they will corrupt system files and you have to reflash emui 8 via hwota 8.

you are about to brick your device. huru is for changing firmware in emui 8 like al10 emui 8 to al20 emui 8
use hwota to install Oreo from emui 5 already someone installed via hwota and it was success.

You need roll back package for L29. It will be around 90 mb. Put it in dload folder in sdcard. Then go to dialer and type *#*#2846579#*#* and then select software upgrade. It will reboot and will undergo that process or you can do that three finger process. Once it is done you can reboot back to your OS. This time put the B1xx or B3xx firmware in dload folder and try to do that again. It will go back.
In my case I went back from L29C432B560 to L29C432B180 doing this way. I am saying this from my personal experience. Key here is the rollback package from Huawei. It is there in one of the threads or you can google Huawei rollback package. Once you get that you resolve your issue.
Another thing I observed is locked bootloader.
Hope it works out for you.

And select the last one L29C900B500
That is the one I used.
If that code doesn't work then try the 3 finger rule
After you do with this rollback package
You will once again come back to nougat
You can check the build number if the process is successful.
Then you have to dload again to B180 or B3xx
Hope this works for you

Don't think it will make any difference. You may try to install update.zip (EMUI 4.0) via twrp.
Just checking. Is your FRP unlocked?

I had the same problems.
option 1
I downloaded stock B560 zip files
flashed it in TWRP
next I locked the bootloader
now the dload to rollback - worked. buildnumber - changed
then another dload to B180 to go back.
after that I did dload to B190
updated to B560 using system update. then I flashed kangvip B577 and its all good now.
my phone was debranded to L29c432 so I used these files.
you have to get the right set of files for your phone model especially stock firmware.
roll back package from here

locked bootloader and stock recovery did the trick for me.
hope it works out for you. :good:

You can change by switch off your phone then press volume down and plug in your usb cable. It will bring you to bootloader mode. From there it will tell you bootloader and FRP status

Hi there
I am planning to do the same as I am on NXT-L29C636B193 at the moment...
I want to update to the latest then do a factory reset? Is that what you meant by wipe data?
How did you wipe the data? Through settings or in recovery or fastboot?
Thanks
My Mate 8 L29 is currently on C432B192 again. I said 'again', because I was already three or four times on EMUI 5. (I tried to root it but it failed Everytime, so I had to rollback)
Yesterday I wanted to try again to root B560 and began to search for the update, but - nothing. I tried it via update app , HiCare app and HiSuite on PC. I don't get the update offered. (I also deleted data and cache of those apps)
I'm currently rooted, so I tried to unroot, install stock boot image and recovery .. but same problem: still not getting the update.
Now I'm wondering why this is happening .. I had that same case before (B192, rooted etc.) and I always got that update offered.
Does anyone have a solution for this ? ( Except the manually method via TWRP .. this was never working for me)
Thank you for your help!
Hello everyone ...
I was trying to root my mate 8 next+L29c185b560 ... And I did with twrp

You need rollback package to get it back to normal.
Since your model is L29 & you are nougat.
Go to this site http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
Download the file
Extract the update.app
Make a folder on your sdcard and name it as dload
put this update.app in that sdcard
now you do the dload method
you can do it two ways
one way is
the 3 finger rule while bootup
just press volume + volume - power button together and hold until you see EMUI verifying package
then release your fingers
it will rollback to marshmallow
now you have to update it to another stock firmware (marshmallow)
remember at this point it is in global firmware it might show build number as C900 or something.
you can check it in the settings - about -> build number
you have to then update it to your model firmware
L29C185BXX
I found the stock firmware from another thread for your model
This is L29C185B200
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
once again
download the file,
extract the update.app &
then put the update.app in dload folder on your sdcard
and then do dload method.
second way of dload is
open dialer
type *#*#2846579#*#*
click on "software upgrade"
and then -> SDcard upgrade
follow the instructions on the screen
and it will finish the dload method in next few minutes.
That's it. now you will be on Stock ROM with fully functional OS.
after this you will either get OTA updates or you can download using HiCare
or you can download the stock firmware from another thread
or
you can use firmware finder to get stock firmware for your phone. Get the latest version.
If you finish all these steps then I will tell you how to get to nougat if you have any trouble
Hope you find this information useful.
Lot of effort goes into typing these posts. Please don't forget to click on :good::good::good::good::good: for my posts.

You are rooted & if I read correctly you also have TWRP installed.
If you are unlocked, rooted & have TWRP - then you can install custom roms.
but if you want stock roms, - you need Stock ROM, Stock Recovery, Locked bootloader.
First you need the rollback package from EMUI4.1 to EMI 4.0 for L29C432 is below
https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/0mlDFqqy
Rollback package for L29 to downgrade from EMUI 5.0 to EMUI 4.0 marshmallow is
http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
So choose the right version based on the firmware you are having on your phone. If you have nougat choose the second link and if you have any other version then choose the first link.
Download the file, extract the update.app
then you have to do dload method
create a folder named dload and put update.app in sd card
then
go to dialer
press *#*#2846579#*#*
select
sdcard upgrade
and then say yes
that's it
you will come back to stock (global) version. build version will be C900BXX
now you need stock firmware for L29C432
you can download the stock firmware from here. Below tis the link for L29C432B180
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51244/f1/full/update.zip
Stock firmware for L29C432B192
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v63059/f1/full/update.zip
Here you have the option to either go for L29C432B180 or L29C432B192. (if you choose B192, then you will save time and reduce few steps, because you will get system update to B560 immediately once you change the region to Ireland in Hicare app)
do the dload method again
extract the file, put the file in dload folder in sdcard ,
either use dialer or use 3 button rule to finish the dload process
now you are on L29C432B180. / L29C432B192
From here you can use another dload method to go to B192 - > system update (OTA) -> B560 or B580
if you get a blank screen - > do factory reset
if you get "verification failed " in red color - > unlock bootloader again and proceed with the steps.

Good day
I have an india version of honor 8 FRD-L02 with noghat B340 update (latest in india).
I ran into a problem when i tried to return back to full stock and locked bootloader.
Things i did which didnt helped :
1. Had unlocked Bootloader and TWRP (latest).
2. Taken full backup of my stock EMUI 5.0 rom in twrp.
3. Used custom roms for a while and now while returning back to full stock i restored the old EMUI 5 backup and i was back on EMUI 5 fully functioning.
4. Flashed Stock EMUI 5 recovery and it flashed well.
5. Now i am on stock emui rom and stock recovery now i wanted startup warnings to vanish.
6. I tried to relock bootloader via fastboot and it asked for full wipe...and fone formatted itself via factory reset and on restart no warnings of unlocked phone but the fone booted into Erecovery with a warning that data partition needs to be formatted.
tried formatting but as i reset my fone, the fone goes back to stock recovery and doest start.
but if i unlock bootloader again, the fone boots up fine after the warning message.
Can anyone help me to go back to full stock with no startup warnings.??
thanks
you can try booting into bootloader
flash twrp
format data
boot to bootloader
flash stock recovery
boot to system
(you may still have the warning message as bootlaoder will be in relocked state)
If you want your phone locked and not re-locked, provided that you are starting from nougat and your bootloader is unlocked: use rollback package and then flash an emui 4 firmware image, your bootloader will be locked not relocked
Download the latest firmware from here: http://www.hihonor.com/in/support/
Then using my guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/restoring-relocking-bricked-frd-l04-t3666360
Flash it on ur phone. After that u will be on marshmallow. Then do a full update and u will be on Nougat with a locked bootloader.

Huawei did it but not Honor. All the rollback packages and full firmwares can still be found on their website.

The company goes down.
There is no rollback package for honor 6x india version so this guide may be helpful.
when i bought this device 2 years before battery life is amazing. it charges faster and drains slower on emui 4.1 then i have upgraded to emui 5 and flashed all the available custom roms also upgraded to emui 8 then tried lot of android pie gsi roms but none of these roms gave good battery life compared to emui 4.1
when on emui 4.1 sound mods and xposed works but after upgrading to emui 5 xposed gone after upgrading to emui 8 sound mods gone.
if you are in emui 8 use huru to downgrade to emui 5.
if you are in emui 5 then install elite twrp recovery.
then follow this guide to debrand to BLN-L21
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-successful-debranding-to-bln-t3701050
all you need to do is flash elite twrp. now extract the update.zip then copy the update.app into dload floder in external sd card then extract oeminfo of bln-l21c432b360 then rename oeminfo to oeminfo.img then go to elite twrp go to install select install img select oeminfo after flashing hit reboot then press and hold volume up and down it will start installing. after that do factory reset then extract data file contents to dload folder and flash using volume up and down buttons. now you will have Bln-l22c432B360 build number.
now follow this tutorial to rollback to emui 4.1
https://fonegyaan.com/downgrade-honor-6x-android-nougat-marshmallow/
after downgrade to emui 4.1 battery life was amazing. it lasts very longer. i have tested and compared with all emui versions. on emui 8 overnight battery drain is upto 10% on emui 5 its upto 5% drain on overnight but in emui 4.1 which is zero. it stays at same exact percentage where i left at night. gsi roms also giving best battery life but they took upto 4 hours to charge the battery but emui 4.1 charges really faster and stays longer. viper4android and xposed working fine. pubg mobile sometimes lag there is a noticeable performance difference in pubm but pubm Korean version runs smooth as butter.
what is the build no. after downgrade to marshmallow??

download emui 8 india version from firmware finder. then use hwota 8. try both methods like using script and sd card if none of those work do formate data and flash again. if your device is not detected on you pc then disable driver signature enforcement on your pc. still not working then use huru to flash stock emui 8.
i will not recommend huru untill hwota 8 not working because small mistake in huru your device will brick. my device got bricked two times with huru. but its good for downgrade from emui 8 to emui 5.
