hi everyone,
i have a mate 8 nxt-L29C636B193
"whatever that means
anyway .. i bought it from Dubai and it was on android 6.0
and i live in Egypt now and for almost 2 or 3 years now since i bought I can't find any software update for it OTA.
so what i did is i used the "firmware finder" app. to update to nougat since I can't do it neither o er the air nor with the huawei suit program,
anyway ..
i flashed a nougat rom successfully and restarted the device but i found that the bluetooth doesn't work, so i searched the web how to go back to my stock rom and i did, and iam on marshmallow now again,
the problem is .. now whenever i try to flash any rom from "firmware finder" I can't, and it always stops after about 1% or 5% saying "system update failed" that there's something wrong with the download package or smthn like that ithink!
i tried more than 10 roms all the same thing,
i also tried the (d-load folder) method also the same!!
so can anyone please help me and tell me why this is happening and how can i install nougat on my device??
knowing that my device is unrooted
thx everyone

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 there ,
I`m new in on this kind of stuff and i have 1 problem.
My device is Huawei mate 8 , and last week i unlock bootloader and rooted with magisk.
After that i flash the Kangvip [Custom Rom] Huawei Mate 8 - NXT-L29C432B582 -Custom System Update - ("V.6"), but did not have google play,when i try to unnistall some apps the settings close,fingerprint not working so i decide to send my device to service .
Before flashing the Kangvip i have Android 7 with emui 5.0.1.
When i pick up my device from service it came with android 6 and emui 4 and some bugs,themes dont work and i`m missing emui 5 with android 7.
I try to update via settings/update but no updates there, try with hicare but no rezults there .
So i`m stuck on emui 4.
Is there any way to go back on emui 5 ?

Its okayyy! My issue has been resolved lol i just had to dload a b330 firmware then the rest of the ota came flooding in ??
And I'm back again! Now with the aged old emui 5 problem, anyone found a way to disable auto dimming on chrome? Or forced it to run on Performance mode like we could back in emui 4? The chrome dimming doesn't really bother me too much but it happens in the middle of my Rules Of Survivor matches and starts lagging while dimmed. That's hella annoying ? really dont want all these effort of updating to emui 5 to go a waste n end up going back go 4.1 ??
Hi guys, i decided to write here because im a little bit desperate now...
Yesterday i updated my mate 9 who was in MHA-L09C432B198 firmware (not oreo) via firmware finder. I've checked the oreo update MHA-L09C185B360(8.0.0.360) and was approved for install ans also with my IMEI. All seemed good but when the phone updated and restarted, it remained stuck on eRecovery.
After following some tutorials there on the forum to use the FF to install again a new approved firmware ive decided to go by the cash path and i tried Funky Huawei. It never worked neither .
When I've tried to install a new firmware the phone said that couldn't so i wasted 5 credits downloading and failing every time.
Please guys, did someone passed through this situation and solved it? My phone bootloader is locked and never installed a twrp...
Thanks in advance,
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.

Hello guys, can somebody help me?
I own a Honor 6x (BLN-TL10)
When I bought at 2017, I flashed my firmware to a different one cause I didn't wanted to use the chinese version, so I upgraded or downgraded to that firmware (BLN-C900B131) since that change, my device always recognize as hi6250, and when I try to install the original firmware on my device, It fails, on the update proccess appear that message, "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version." cause I want to upgrade to 8.0 oreo, my phone right now is at android 6.0 emui 4.1.
Can you send the link of update file that you have used? And a screenshot of build number?
I'll attach 3 screenshoots, one of my EMUI and Android at the moment and the firmware's that I tried to install
The BLN-TL10 firmware that was the same that came with my phone when I bought
I've tried to unlock the bootloader, but Huawei phones bought on china doesn't have OEM unlock option enabled ;(
Idk if have some way to unlock bootloader without that option
