So i bricked my phone. Long story short, using DC Phoenix and dicking around for several hours i was able to install the original FW. I am currently on B133 EMUI 4 Anroid 6.
Interestingly enough System update does not see any new updates. I've also tried Firmware Finder DNS route and I still couldn't find an update. I've then downloaded the next incremental upgrade from firmware finder which is B192. I placed the Update.app in the dload folder on my SD card and tried to appy the upgrade using the Project Menu upgrade and i keep getting an error message PT Failed! I've also tried the system update via the Vol+ Vol- Power button and it keeps giving me an error message. What can I do next? Why are these things failing?
I got it fixed....Moderator can delete this thread
Depending on the region you are in, you might have to wait up to a few weeks for the Huawei servers to recognise your phone. Then you will see updates.
You can also try factory reset. Sometimes that does the trick

I have one H60-L02, its chinese model and its not rooted or anything like that.
I was in EMUI 3.1 and I try to update to EMUI 4.0, but I make a mistake because I charge one update of 100MB. I did it by local way, with "dload" in SD.
When Honor 6 restarts he didnt charge android anymore and now:
1) if I restart with 3 buttons he stops in the first "honor powered by android"
2) if I restart with power button + vol up he charge recovery but in chinese and I can only restart cache and hard reset but that doesnt works.
3) if I turn off he restarts again, I cant turn off, he always restart.
I try to put some Original FULL ROMs in SD but they dont charge and dont reinstall anything.
Only when I try to charge this rollback "mega:///#F!uopFUBJa!jp6hkjmftAKjQ8LrriwOTA!ukZzVDIY" to EMUI 3.1 something changes. Now when I starts says "4GLTE" screen and then an "android" screen, but the same 3 steps before and anything else.
PLEASE HELP ME
Any help?
Hi potey10,
there is a recoverymode in HiSuite. Idk what it does but I guess (!) it installs the last working firmware and can make your phone work again.
Here is a guide for ascend mate 7

I think the link dont works
I send the phone to Huawei Support in Spain, and they told me they cannot fix it because is a chinese version. WTF?
I hope the link work this time:
http://www.gizok.com/blog/huawei-ascend-mate7-upgrade-recovery-tutorial/
Here it does.
So you have nothing to loose, if you try it.
Install HiSuite on your Computer, start your Smartphone in Fastbood-Mode (Power-Button + Vol. down), select recovery on HiSuite.
The link says "HiSuite will download a suitable version from the official web, the speed of the downloading will be connected to the network speed of the user. As this is a large version, it will take a long time to download, commonly for 1~2 hours, so please wait patiently."
Good luck!

I must try. But I dont know waht kind of version of HiSuite is that.
Thats what you means?? "2.2 One-key Recovery Operating Steps"
What version of HiSuite is that?
I think the version isn't important. There is a recovery option in the newest version.
I tried it. Recovery mode isn't supported on my European L04
Hello,
I just purchased this used. it was rooted which I removed. it had trwp on it but some how I can not access that any longer. it is emui 4.1 on it. the model number is nxt-al10 build number is nxt-l29c432b320. I can get to the erecovery it will connect to the wifi but wont connect to the server. I have tried Italian knife I have tried putting stock image onto it thru dload file on the internal and external memory. I will hold the up down and power button and it will start the install but fail at 5% every time. I tried installing it thru the dial pad method and all that does is get stuck on a screen that tells me I need to go to Huawei's website and that my phone is unlocked and shouldn't be trusted. so I basically cant access my bootloader. I constantly have to restart the phone because either it will freeze or the camera wont work. I really like the phone and don't want to get another phone but im at a loss as to what to do
Howdy folks! In need of some urgent help... I'm also not terribly familiar with android as I came from years of using iphones.... Yesterday I did the OTA update to EMUI 5. Everything was fine except bluetooth would fail to turn on...so I tried doing a factory reset in the settings. The reset failed less than 10% in and when the phone rebooted, it seems like only half the OS reset and is totally screwed up (no access to the soft keyboard anymore, etc.).
Reading on how to either rollback to EMUI 4/Marshmallow, I tried using the Huawei Update Extractor after downloading L04 6.0 firmware from the Huawei site ( Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific ).
After issuing the adb command to flash the first file, boot.img, I get a "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).
I'm a total loss at this point. I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction in terms of what to do next!
I was in the same position as you. Here is what I did:
Download both the rollback package and the full marshmallow firmware (I used a german one since that is my region, i linked one for the UK version, google your specific model to find them) from the hihonor community website: https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1752 and read the PDFs that are included in both zips, they contain the instructions to roll back to Marshmallow.
You will need an external SD card and you will lose your data.
In case the steps are not clear enough:
1. Copy the dload folder of the rollback package to the root of the SD.
2. Force update the phone (hold volume up and down at the same time when powering up).
3. Shut down the phone after the force update is done.
4. Delete dload folder of the rollback package and replace it with the dload folder of the full marshmallow firmware.
5. Force update the phone again.

First of all, confirm that your model is the L04 model.
The rollback procedure to MM is the following:
- Download the B300 from here http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details?DOC_ID=92098
- Put the 'Update.APP' (~80MB) file in a folder called 'dload' in your external storage
- Turn off your phone then maintain all the buttons (Volume+, Volume-, Power) to turn it on.
After the update finishes, check your build number, you should be on B300.
- Now, delete the 'Update.APP' that's in your 'dload' folder
- copy the 'Update.APP' (~3 GB or so) of the B122 http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details?DOC_ID=89264
- Turn off your phone then maintain all the buttons (Volume+, Volume-, Power) to turn it on.
Let your phone optimize, reformat its partitions.
You should now have MM on B122, you can then update to B162 through OTA.

Thanks for your replies. I sincerely appreciate it. I tried doing the above and when updating the rollback, it would only read to 5% and when phone rebooted it was in the same state it was before attempting the rollback. Could it be something to do with the SD card? Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Alright now let's try another method to save it.
- Turn off the phone
- Keep holding the volume+ button then plug it to a computer.
- Keep holding the volume+ until you see the honor logo.
- You should now see the eRecovery.
- Choose download latest software and recovery.

Assuming you have successfully flashed the rollback update (B300), I successfully rolled back to B162 by making a "dload" folder on my external SD card, and placing the Update.APP file in there, and then accessing recovery using the pwr+vol (+/-) buttons.. For some reason placing the Update.APP file in the internal storage did not work with the stock recovery, even though the instructions for the rollback ask you to do so. Hopefully this helps.

Not sure exactly why it worked, but I finally got it restored and am running the latest EMUI 5. Thank you so much everyone for your contributions. I owe you folks a beer!

I'm in the same situation you were in, command not allowed, rollback not working, dload folder with update.app in sd card not working.
How and what did you do after that ?
Thanks in advance
Place the dload folder/files on the root of the internal memory.
Go look on ModaCo.
There is a guy called Paul O'Brien who I think has some thing to do with Honor in some way.
He will help you sort your phone

I somehow managed to actually rollback my phone ! I'm starting to feel a lot better.
Bootloader's locked again, though (no more "this device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted")
Only small problem now is I have the "this device was reset" message problem still around.
Read online here on xda that I need to wait 72 hours before logging on again with my new password (I did change it, that must be why)
I'll just wait these 72 hours and see if it works.
Else if you did have this issue too i'd love to hear about it.
So I got my phone (frd-l09) 3 days ago and there's was an update to b360 so I updated it and find out that there's no keyboard on my phone and when I looked to build number I found that (NRD90M test-keys)
Is anyone have solution for this ?
Only rollback to MM.
And how do I download 7.0 without getting stuck in this (test keys) thing again?
You must put the rollback package in to SD Card,( SD card adapter) then - push power and + and - volume at the same time. After that, insert the appropriate MM pack into the SD card- push power and + and - volume at the same time.
I had the same problem with bad software ( NRD90M test-keys)
Did you try to install 7.0 again?
Yes, i have got the update to B360 by OTA
when ever I try I see this message "Please download the correct package"

So I'm pretty sure I've managed to brick my honor 8 FRD-L04. Will not finish boot, will only boot into erecovery. Cannot access the phone through USB for Fastboot or ADB. Erecovery reports "Getting package info failed". Ithought that maybe the USB port was bad, replaced the port, still no luck.
Any suggestions?
Search for roll back. It will be roll back to marshmallow, but it will work. I fixed my phone last night. You will have to use an SD card to install the update.
I can't get it to go into the normal recovery.
What is it doing when you try to boot into recovery?
It will only go into Fastboot or erecovery. The phone isn't recognized in Fastboot and erecovery fails
https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor8/comments/607q9r/downgrade_honor_8_to_emui_41/
download rollback package, place on sdcard in dload folder, hold power + volume up and down buttons together, it'll auto flash the 1st part, then download 4.1 and do the same, place in dload folder and repeat, now you're back to anroid 6, accept update to 126, then update to 360 and finally 391
Well, I finally got the phone "unbricked", but I still have ZERO USB access. The port will provide power, but no data whatsoever. It's not the port itself as I have replaced it already, it's not the cable, and it's not the computer. I am at a total loss now, but at least I have the device working again.
I was able to get the roll back packages to load
