Reisntalling B385 stock rom to my FRD-L04

Hi guys,
I am currently trying to figure out how to reinstall a clean version of the B385 for my FRD-L04. I have downloaded these two files from the Nougat Update for FRD-L04 Honor 8 (USA):
Full ROM – http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1585/g104/v83098/f1/full/update.zip
Data File – http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...FRD-L04_hw_usa/update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip
I have tried to flash them both from TWRP, but I always get the error: Updater process ended error 7
Can anyone please guide me through the process and let me know what I'm doing wrong?
I have look for a guide or post where this is detailed, but without luck. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to reinstall the stock firmware in my Honor 8 FRD-L04?
Thanks! :good:

The best way (if you don't want to unlock bootloader) is to flash a downgrade package first, then dload the Marshmallow update and finally your preferred Nougat update though Firmware Finder.

Thanks for the response. In my case, my phone is rooted, so I don't mind unlocking the bootloader. Would you please elaborate on how to do it that way?

Unlock your bootloader and follow this guide:https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306/
Choose the B385 firmware or any newer firmware available for your region.

So I decided to finally reinstall the stock firmware in my Honor 8 FRD-L04 in B389, and this is where the nightmare began.
- I made a full backup with TWRP just in case and I decided I wanted to start from the earliest firmware possible available.
- I started unrooting my phone using the UnSU zip by Osmosis.
- Then I flash via bootloader the recovery and boot image of the firmware B360.
- I flashed the rollback package from the Huawei official site with the B122 firmware also available at the same place. I saved the rollback package in my root directory in the dload folder, and loaded it with the 3-button method. After this I wasn't able to boot my phone normally, I was stuck in a boot loop. I still continue with the next firmware, the B122, and it was successfully loaded (this also relocked my bootloader).
- It is important to say I clear many times the cache and wipe/erase data through stock recovery options, and also tried to erecover but I wans't able to connect to the WiFi. I guess something was missing (at this point I was already going crazy).
- I was still stucked at a boot loop after loading the B122, so I decided to unlock my bootloader and flash the twrp 3.1.1-1-frd.img
- From there I tried to wipe data and cache and system and everything, but I wasn't able because an error saying unable to mount always appeared.
- After rebooting, since I already had unlocked the bootloader, the initial message prompting: "press power to continue, press for 3 seconds for erecovery, etc..." appeared.
- I enter the erecovery options with the hope it will do something... and it did!!! I could connect this time through WiFi and the system asked to update the firmware and many other things it said at that moment. This was the first time I felt relieved through the night.
- The phone updated perfectly, it started at the firmware B122 and I kept updating it until I reached the B389.
- I unlocked the bootloader again and rooted the phone. And everything is running smooth as silk!
I know this is a very long story, but I just want to get it out there in case anyone is facing the same problem I just passed. Hope this helps someone and brings peace to them! =) Good luck!

I believe B385 is not functional with TWRP. Flash B360 and reboot to recovery. This should go to stock recovery, where you will have to do a factory reset. I got EMUI working, but it refuses to update to any newer version (it does show B380 but doesn't update). Also there should be updates after making that update. The updates did work for other people, so you may be able to have it working.

Hello,
If you want to flash any firmwares with TWRP, you must use this method: HuRUpdater > https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
You can only flash "PV" firmwares with TWRP alone.

[Need Help] I need to install Oreo (EMUI 8.0) Stock ROM in Mate 9 using TWRP 3.2.1-0

Hi folks. Sorry if this topic has been covered before. I really tried to find threads with a solution but I wasn't able to get specific answers. Kindly help me out.
This is the current status of my Huawei Mate 9 - MHA-l29
My Huawei Mate 9, MHA- L29 is working okay, aside from a few bugs I noticed after upgrading to Oreo (EMUI 8.0) using TWRP last year (a previous version)
I am running Android 8.0 Oreo. The version reads System 8.0.0.42(00YC) when I check in the "About Phone Section". When I check this version using HiSuite, it tells me that is the official one.
I have unlocked the bootloader FRP...basically everything is unlocked.
I have installed TWRP version 3.2.1-0
I suspect I may have accidentally wiped out the recovery for my device, so if I tried to do a factory reset, it may not work. That is why I wanted to just do a fresh installation of STOCK ROM for Oreo.
Now this is what I need help to do.
I wanted to do a fresh installation of the stock ROM for Oreo (8.0) for my Mate 9 device. I figure stock ROM will be more stable and it will be the official one anyway.
The reason I want to do a fresh install is because I noticed the current version has a few bugs that kept recurring whenever I did a factory reset (issues with themes, calendar, etc).
I wanted to know if I can use TWRP 3.2.1 (currently installed) to do an installation of Oreo stock ROM for my mate 9 using maybe the SD Card. I saw somewhere that I can simply copy the files to the SD card and then use TWRP 3.2.1-0 to do an installation.
If the above is possible, what do I need to do?
If it is not possible to use TWRP 3.2.1, what can I do instead so that I install a new stock ROM without bricking the phone? Please assist.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Check out that tool. I've used it myself, works well.

Help required - All customs roms for Honor 8 are installing but reboot gets stuck.

Hi there I was hoping some here could help me with my problem. I have tried several ROMS from this site for my Honor 8 frd-l09 and using twrp 3.1.1.1 Karin edition. I am able to install Lineage 14.1 and after restart it says booting up and then a few seconds later the phone shuts down as if its an incorrect rom. I have the same issue with Carbon rom and others.
I have twrp loaded into the recovery and then format and install the rom without failure barring the stock roms I get an error 7. The install completes fine and I reboot. It starts up and gets stuck on booting. 3 days and 20 hours to get the same results over and over. I'm losing my sanity.
So for now I have given up until I can get some help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ! If I were you :
- Download the lastest firmware for FirmwareFinder site (check the XML file of what you want on FF and check if this is the RIGHT firmware you need)
- Use TWRP but if I remember only the P9 lite 0.4 version works with the latest firmware
- Use and follow instructions from this thread using HuRuUpdater : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
- Wow your now on Stock firmware
- If you want an OpenKirin ROM, visite openkirin.net and follows intructions. Do NOT use TWRP with OpenKirin ROMs
EDIT: Here is the TWRP version I used under B562: https://send.firefox.com/download/f0dd9c62206168b8/#3jETDDSTyOy30TmsxeiKMw

hi
Hi there
Yes thank you very much for responding. I was actually just busy trying to do it now and couldn't come right trying the HuRUpdate method I followed it from huaweidevices.com "How to install official ROM.." but halfway through the install in twrp it was saying the 3 zip files were not in the folder and after reboot it hung on the logo. I'm going to try again when I have time tomorrow and I will get back to you I am probably doing something wrong.

Phone version number
Hi thanks I am trying hurUpdate and I have run into 2 problems. I am not sure if Ineed to rename the files to match as they are not matching file names as to what instruction give and whats available on Firwarefinder. example update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip in order for install to find had to remane to update_all_hw.zip. Install runs and after reboot stuck because I am taking chances with the version number of phone. I know it is frd-l09. I cant find this if Im soft bricked?
Anything else I am doing wrong I am not sure
Thanks again for your help. I am sure I am all most there.

Please help
There was only 3 EU versions of frd-l09 I could try under firmware finder and none of them worked for my honor 8. Question why is there so little roms in the firmware finder and how do I get to download others as there is more right? I'm thinking I got to try more versions or have I tried the correct ones already and I have other problems?
This is a headache :/

Please help
I have used all the versions possible for my honor 8 EU version. From the early 2016 firmware (frd-l09C432B388) to the current ones, and when I boot it hangs on the blue honor screen. Is there anything else I can do?
I am installing form twrp using hurupdate and was wondering if I should try using EMUI instead?
Thanks in advance
Andy

Well, you need to rename the files as indicated in HuRuUpdater thread. There is public, all and region. If I understand, you were origanally under EMUI 8 (Oreo), so the latest firmware for FRD-L09 is B562 (the one I am using). Download these 3 and it will normally work.
Links for B562: (FRD-L09):
http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v184123/f1/full/update.zip (rename to update.zip)
http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data...23/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip (remane to update_data_public.zip)
http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data...l/FRD-L09_hw_eu/update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip (remane to update_all_hw.zip)
---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------
Then after renaming, download HuRuUpdater0.4.zip. Put the four files into the same directory on a SD card. Go to TWRP (a version of TWRP must work) and flash HuRupdater

I’m using a Xiaomi Note 9 with MIUI Global version 11.0.5
Do i just uninstall it completely then download and re-install with the new version.
I’m still a novice Android user so I appreciate all the help.. thanks

I do have the same problem with Redmi 9.
Can anyone help?
edit:
[SOLVED]
I downloaded the latest apk here, renamed the extension from .apk to .zip and flashed it via TWRP Recovery.
