so my moms Honor 6x (BLN-L24) was gonna get sold since she upgraded, but the noob factory reset the phone from the factory recovery. no biggy, just log her back in. exceeeept...now it has no way of signing back in because her sim card isnt sending data, the wifi wont turn on and while she is bootloader unlocked...shes now FRP Locked and cant do anything in fastboot. so no restoring modems, system, custom recovery....nada
im not too familiar with Huawei devices, but im no noob to Android restoring/modding and such. well this thing is being hell because upon trying to restore any UPDATE.APP, its sits at "Installing update..." for a few minutes and then resets...never having passed 5%. so idk if its ACTUALLY updating (or downgrading, since ive been trying that as well) and at any rate, the wifi/data still refuses to turn on at the setup screen
HALP PLX KTHX
boop
I had a similar situation when I manually upgraded from Marshmallow to Nougat. I fixed it by doing the rollback to Marshmallow then doing a "check for update" on the phone and letting it find and install the Nougat upgrade.
You should be able to find the Marshmallow rollback instructions either here or by googling it.
Good luck!

we ended up getting our new phone plan and i put the sim in the 6x which finally allowed her to input her Google account and reset the device properly this time. the buyer wasnt too thrilled about the Wifi issue, but we took a few bucks off for the inconvenience. theyll either fix it themselves or leave it as is...either way, thanks for the reply even if its a little late xD

hi, dear xda forumers!
this is my very first post, and i am not very good at tech things, so please bear with me (plus I may unwantingly commit grammatical mistakes because i am not a native speaker and it is 2AM here)
first my back story:
I had a Huawei Mate 8 (nxt-l29c....something) European version, I had it for about 6 or 7 months, then it was stolen. By that time it had automatically upgraded to Nougat and I really liked it, got used to it, could not live without it.... so i decided to buy the same phone again. It came with Marshmallow, and I tried to update it but the OTA had been for a limited time only I guess, I emailed around with official huawei customer service asked them maybe to update my device from their headquarters or something, but they could not help me, they said I should just wait and eventually it would update.
after 3 months still nothing I grew impatient and I really wanted to have my "old experience" back, so I tried a tutorial with updating via filmware finder, using one of the first updates that were about 2GB big. It was successful, so it seemed at first, because there were no errors or interruptions, but finally when I turned it on, I noticed that during the update process my phone has lost the built in keyboard (still has the google), no more bluetooth, alarm clock, date time settings, update option
I downloaded the official rollback to Android 6 from 7 but since I updated with an unofficial update, it failed to fix my phone. now I still have the issues listed above.
Now I ended up with
Model number: NXT-L29C900B500 (originally it was NXT-L29C432B180)
EMUI version: 5.0
Android version: 7.0
Edit:
Now trying to use a new filmware from the official huawei website with the dload method
Edit 2:
it did not do anything. I will try again when I wake up
I kindly ask anyone who has any idea how to fix this to reply.
Mate 8 nougat update as far as I know have 2 update zips, I've experienced that problem when trying to update to nougat, I used twrp to flash the update.zip, I had emui 5 after but Bluetooth didn't work and some settings were missing, after searching I found that there are 2 zips to an update, a update.zip and a hwupdate.zip, basically only one was installed for you, you need to install both
Hi Everyone,
im sorry if this is in the wrong section. I wasn't able to find the right section to ask for help about getting this update done..
Well here is my story:
Tried to update from 7.1.1 (software Nr: 1.27.401.11) to 8.0 and got an undescribed error symbol. No reason why it stopped or something.
I contacted HTC and after 2 Weeks waiting they respond with "send me your IMEI"
After another 2 weeks they told me to set it back to producer settings and try again.
I did it and nothing changes. Im exhausted I just want to get this update or at least stop those stupid reminders of a new update...
Google can't find good results.
My HTC U11 is a Dual-SIM version if this is important to know. Oh and its unbranded.
hope you guys have some advise.
Thank you in advance!
I had the same issue. I have unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery with magisk. After returning to stock recovery and boot, uninstalling magisk still had 24% issue. I installed stock system with ruu. After that I updated easly to oreo. All data will be lost if you want this method.
Hi thanks for replying. Does this root the System? I have no clue and dont want to lose guarantee.
If you have stock system with lock bootloader then I don't know why you can't install oreo. I unlocked bootloader so my guarantee is void anyway. I just told you what I did in my case. I don't know if you can install ruu with lock bootloader. Maybe someone smarter can tell you something about guarantee.
You can stop the update notification by pressing long on the updation notification then press advance settings or something like that (I have a German Android OS) , then click on the updater icon and then you should be at app settings of the updater, just force close the app. After that you should never see the update notification until you restart your device
same problem
hello. I have same problem. Did you solve?
I was trying to get 8.0 on my H8 and thought being on B406 firmware (Got it via firmware finder) was a problem, so I downgraded to MarshMallow in the hopes I could fully upgrade to 8.0 from there but I got as far as FRD-L09C432B934 and now I can't get anything past that onto my device.
Firmware finder works in seeing suitable updates and allowing them to show in the update settings page of my device, but the download automatically fails despite me being able to update to B406 previously. I've tried to run and update.app from dload folder on my SD card but I get 5% and then it fails.
I've never messed around with Honor/Huawei devices as the 8 is my first Honor/Huawei phone so I am going in blind trying to get 8.0 to install.
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.
Well, firstly.... Is your bootloader unlocked?
Should have a locked bootloader
I sure hope you don't have a locked bootloader. You're making it 100 times harder on yourself if it is

Anyway to check if it's locked or not?
I have a seemingly stupid but still annoying problem. As many of you know Android 8 + EMUI 8 came out this summer and I have updated my Honor8. Everything works well, even better (especially with regard to the battery) apart from a problem, quite annoying. I have seen that everyone around complains about the same problem, so it is clear that both a build bug and not a local problem.
Basically ... the bluetooth link with the multimedia system of my car doesn't work as it should, while it worked well with the 7.0.
Tracknames, music infos disappears, sometimes it connects regularly, starting the music, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the music passes from the car speakers to smartphone (!!)... in short, manage the music in the car It has become a big problem!
I tried all possible options; reset pairing, reset bluetooth, clear cache, activate the developer options to control some low-level aspects of bluetooth, and finally installed Bluetooth Auto Connect which also has several advanced options. Nothing works. In the meantime an update of 8.0 has been released (mine is the buiold 521). The update came out in September ... maybe (MAYBE) this update fixes all bluetooth issues (but i don't have any detailed info about). Until today I have not received any updates and normally I check new version regularly every day. At this point I decided to return to Nougat!
And here the adventure begins!
I CANNOT IN ANY WAY do the downgrade.
What I tried:
- through HiSuite. The "back to previous version" option appears random (rarely); normally the program tells me "the system is up to date". Once appeared I tried to run the procedure, but after the decompression it gives me an error "error updating".
- by standard Rollback procedure. Using a microSD and putting the full version of Nougate in the dload folder. The installation starts but stops almost immediately with the same "update cannot be applied" error.
At this point I am desperate. I cannot update Oreo, I can't go back to Nougat and meanwhile the bluetooth still doesn't work with my car. Remember that before Oreo, everything worked very well!
What can I do? Can you help me?
Thank you

Region: EU
Model: FRD-L09
Build: 8.0.0.521 (C432)
Previous Build: don't remember. It was Nougat, and I've upgraded around the first week of September. From that day I haven't received/applied any patch, because nothing appears until now.
This morning I've tried again with HiSuite. As usual it says I'm running the latest version and it doesn't offer any downgrade option .

The more you know...
Finally I've decide to try updating to 8.0.0.562. After a month of tries, fails (damn Huawei and his stupid update system), errors and a lot of other stupid things, I was finally able to update my Honor hoping the latest version will fix all the problems. It was a enormous waste of time (searching around internet)... but in the end I found a method described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/p20-pro-bricked-t3868085#4And if you go ahead you should find the correct firmware link (on a Russian site). Although, IMHO, failing with the classic method was due to the impossibility or some bugs in the update system, to unpack the update files on sdcard. So the solution seems to be to leave both the zip and the unpacked folder.The problems with bluetooth remain, but I hope that now there is not to be crazy applying next updates. ATTENTION: the method above is NOT valid for rollback! If you try, you'll brick your Honor.
And finally I've taken an important decision... for me this is the last Huawei/honor device. Next time I'll go to another brand, with a serious update system.

flash this file with twrp and install stock recovery and do reset factor / finally use hisuite to rollback
Hello, first of all i want to say that i don't understand a lot of those thing, i'll just try to explain myself as best as i can but if you don't understand something just ask and i'll rephrase it somehow.
I have an EU FRD-L09. When i bought it i tried to root it because i couldnt mute the sound of the whatsapp camera. I did some things (it was a long time ago, i don't remember precisely what) and the phone was in a state where superSU told me that there was no root, but at the boot i always got the message "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted etc.. ". I was tired so i left it like this until now, the only thing that mattered is that i could use the phone. Now, i want to update from FRD-L09C432B380 to FRD-L09C432B389 (and then hopefully to android 8) but i just can't. When i try to update it, either from the phone or from hisuite it reboots and get stuck in the "your device has been unlocked" state with "your device is booting now..." forever. The only thing i can do is to go in erecovery and reboot. I also tried to restore from erecovery but it says that "Getting package info failed". Restoring from the settings does the same as trying to update. Somebody know what can i do?
I Don't think you ever rooted the phone. From what you said, you only unlocked the bootloader (phone cannot be trusted message on boot). Have you tried dload method to get the system to stock and then updating through HiSuite? (AFAIK This will wipe system and data)
I read about it and i will try it. Should i flash the rollback package from android 7.0 to 6.0 or directly the 6.0 firmware? Right now i am on emui 5.0 android 7.0.
P.S. so i can't update the phone in any way with the bootloader unlocked?
