Downgrade Honor 6x to Nougat - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

Most of us didn't liked the oreo... As there is no audio mods, full theme support, no xposed etc...so I decided to downgrade to nougat.. As dloading b340 works for BLN L22 version.. But for me it didn't work... Any build was not working on dload method.. So i tried HWOTA method.. HW OTA works fine but at the end emui fails to install the system...
So I got a way from various senior members...
Using Hu Ru Updater..
Just download latest version Hu Ru Updater and full firmware of Nougat(donot download rollback package) .. Like b362 build.. Download all the three zips and hu ru updater and place it in a single folder of SD card..
Then go to twrp, format data... Reboot twrp... Then wipe data and system from twrp and start the hu ru updater..
After the process, just boot to stock recovery and format your device... That's it... You're on Nougat ?

Nice guide. I know a couple of people will benefit from this. Now, I agree that Oreo or EMUI 8 sucks. However if you're up for it, flash a custom ROM. There are a couple of (now discontinued) good Pie ROMs available. You can try those. Sound Mod and Xposed still won't work (Xposed isn't available yet for Pie) and substratum works but requires root. Or an Oreo custom ROM. Sound Mod also won't work but the other two will. The only requirement is an unlocked Bootloader.

Maybe can, you have US version MM? Why after rollback you instal US version? Model rollback was NRD900... and thats something like international and after you must install correct package uff, I think this will be strange. Probably you able to install US Nougat if you have now US version MM

Updating rooted L09 B381 to latest stock, or custom rom?

Hi,
I have a L09 B381 stock firmware installed, twrp, rooted with magisk installed. I would like to update to latest stock available, B389. HiSuite inform me about the update, but not my phone system.
Is there an easy way to update, or will I have to factory reset, update, root again, and reinstall every apps?
Alternativly, do you have a up to date custom rom to recommend?
Thanks
If you would like to update, I recommend you to go back full stock and update through dload (if updater don't work)
About custom ROMs, any ROM is stable and good.
bro just flash the firmware available in firmware finder via twrp, B398sp01 is the latest

Ok, so, I install the latest, downloaded with firmware finder, and flash it with TWRP. Will I have to reinstall all my apps? To root again?
Thanks
Don't install experimental stock rom versions.
You can update to B389 via FF with a number of options.
Whether through the proxy install or via TWRP ( with unlocked bootloader ofc) you should find guides for that in their respective threads.
As for custom roms they all randomly reboot on high accuracy gps and battery life is generally somewhat worse than on stock.
About 3-4h SoT for me but obviously that depends on your usage
Edit: You should be able to update to 389 without factory reset though, right?
Might be wrong but maybe just flash the smaller ota file or update via proxy?
Should be in the FF thread though

Flashing Full Firmware *** [SOLVED] ***

Friends ,
I am using Honor 6x and rooted with TWRP recovery. I am on B320 firmware and model number is BLN L22. Indian model. Recently i got some issues in rom and decided to revert to fully stock unrooted.
So i have download B320 update.zip full firmware. About 1.6 GB. My question is how to flash it ? I need to go back to fully stock with bootloader locked. No more root needed.
I have just flashed L22 stock recovery now. So i have stock recovery and update.zip file.
Kindly guide me how to flash it without bricking . I am very new to 6x.
Edited at end:
Delete this post sorry i didn't seen the model number correctly , but the process is same find the rollback package out side.
They won't rollback like that ,u have to first rollback to emui 4.1 and then feom there go for latest emui. Safest method.
Here is the bll l22 rollback package
http://consumer.huawei.com/bd/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=94065
Download and extract this there is update.app copy to external sdcard/dload now power off the device ,now press& hold all three buttons after vibrate release power button, it will update.
Then after download this http://consumer.huawei.com/bd/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=94066
Now same as above one download-extract the update.app and copy to dload folder (delete the old one ) and power off and press and hold trick.
Done

Thanks friend but i already fixed it just now. After that only i am seeing post. Thanks for ur time.
I did not downgrade to EMIUI 4.1. I simply flash the update.app (EMUI 5.0) via dload method and now everything fine. Just now updated latest B330 via OTA and success. No need to downgrade.

B340 is about camera performance improvement and system stability , It might be flashable using TWRP, you can try it.
official roll-out will take few weeks.

It is necessary, since that you wanna be rooted. You can choose between Magisk or SU root method; Magisk is better than SU to me, it allows much more than SU thanks to modules, a systemless root and many more. If you choose to root with magisk, then the "keep vendor partition mounted" option is a thing that you can ignore since that it won't be needed. In case you'll decide to root with SU, please follow steps as stated in OP from TWRP thread.
Thank you soo much for replying..
But i want system write root..
Can we gain full root access with write system access via magisk
Yes u can get the full root access.

Rollback Package for Honor 6x BLN-L21 (C185) Middle East

Hay Guys,
There are many many people with Huawei Honor 6x BLN-L21C185, the one which is released in the middle east region and may the same in the European countries too. But the number starting with C and after the L21 is very much crucial in Huawei type of devices, because I've tried three to four rollback packages available for BLN-L21, to go back to MM and got failed in the middle. With the same error every time.
May you guys out there have experienced or seen such rollback package for this specific version?
OR can you guys share what to do if there is no option to rollback at all.

Well, I don't know exactly because after B131 I have never used official OTA to update or simply official OTA didn't work bcz I've used FF to flash B342 (the beta version) of Nougat without registering for beta version. So, FF has been my updater app, indeed it was available in the settings menu but it didn't work bring any OTA update for my device at all. But for last 7 months and some three updates my device's theme had no problem, it didn't had FM radio though.
But now after I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp and rooted the device to check whether I could install LineageOS 14.1 or not, the theme is not working too. I failed to install LineageOS and flashed B360 recovery via fastboot and than flashed B360 ROM via dload method and official recovery.
The other time I flashed Magisk just to try, but failed again to flash LineageOS. And the same procedure to come back to official rom.
Moral is; I still don't have FM radio in my phone and the worst is its theme is not working too. Its official updater also doesn't work for OTAs, I have almost bricked my device once.
Can some guy give me a link to the official B360 or B361 for BLN-L21C185 which would have FM radio in and working theme? Because all the FF suggested roms have FM fix in the included other zip which i have flashed indeed but it does not solve the problems of theme now, and also can't bring FM radio.

Rooting back isn't a big issue man, my concern is the way we work on. Because this phone is my main day to day dude so I have to make it usable every minut.
By the way do you think there is a way out there to go back to a working B130 by having root access.
OR simply
If you could tell me how to ditch out required files from update.app, may be we would work a little harder on it. I have used the winrar but it couldn't ditch out files. I think if we would know what version of stock rom has FM app and we would flash it via adb fastboot, it might have done the job.
OR simply by pushing FM app in the current stock rom and than unrooting and unlookcking the bootloader, is it so easy that I am so excited?

Nope. We can go to b130 without root.
My suggestion for root was to flash the the radio apk manually to system to integrate it.
We have similar things when on 5X, system messaging app was missing in rom, we pushed it manually and had it working

So, let's get started on how to push the FM radio in the system to get it working, are gonna guide me step by step or we have a separate thread on such kind of things?
BTW how do we get the FM radio? Is it the same apk which is available in the "update_data_full_BLN-21_hw_meafnaf.zip" and we can get it in the data>hw_init>product>app>HwFMRadio or something else is gonna be done?

Need help fixing an Honor 8. Stuck on EMUI 4.0 after failing with custom ROMs

Hello! So I tried flashing a custom ROM to my friends Honor 8 after reading around a bit and such but it ultimately failed and now we're trying to get it back to the default ROM. We found a ROM download but it was for the version FRD-l09C900B120 which was running EMUI4.0 and Android 6.0. I also read that the "C" version he has doesn't receive any further updates, I'm failing to find anything on the correct "C" version anywhere. If anyone could guide me through the installation process for the correct and latest firmware it would be great!
On another note, the build in eRecovery doesn't seem to want to install the update package. It always fails pretty early on after connecting to WiFi, any fix for that would be great. Thanks!
Thanks for any help!
On which ROM was the custom ROM based? You should try to flash the rollback package with dload method and then flash B120 or another EMUI 4.X ROM with same method

The custom ROM was Linageos 14.1, so it wasn't anything EMUI based.
I'm gonna try and manually flash the ROM from an update.app that we downloaded from the app Firmware Finder.

Hello! So I tried flashing a custom ROM to my friends Honor 8 after reading around a bit and such but it ultimately failed and now we're trying to get it back to the default ROM. We found a ROM download but it was for the version FRD-l09C900B120 which was running EMUI4.0 and Android 6.0. I also read that the "C" version he has doesn't receive any further updates, I'm failing to find anything on the correct "C" version anywhere. If anyone could guide me through the installation process for the correct and latest firmware it would be great!
On another note, the build in eRecovery doesn't seem to want to install the update package. It always fails pretty early on after connecting to WiFi, any fix for that would be great. Thanks!
Thanks for any help!

We did not make a twrp backup (In hindsight we should've....)
We don't have twrp on it right not but can be fixed if needed.
We were on the latest update available to the phone which should be latest today as well. (OTA)
Flashing it manually made the phone enter a bootloop. It didn't even start the firmware. Any suggestions?
EDIT: We got into Fastboot. What are our options?
Right now your best option in my opinion is to flash Boot.img, recovery.img,cust.img and system.img that you will extract from the UPDATE.APP of your CURRENT Rom. Then just try the dload method again and again, it may not accept the firmware you try to flash but in this case just try another, but not a lower one because you need the rollback package to do that

What should we do after we've flashed TWRP? When I tried flashing LineageOS 14 it decided to fail the installation somehow and be at an endless boot animation. So I'd like to get the phone restored to EMUI5.0.
Sorry, what I said was garbage, I just edited my comment, you're so quick lol

Well currently there's a broken firmware on it of FRD-L09C432B943... Or something like that.
I think at this point he's looking at getting a new phone all together.
No matter if the firmware inside isn't working properly, with fastboot you can manually flash each partition that is needed as long as USB debugging is enabled and bootloader unlocked. After flashing these cleans parts you can properly use the dload method , and if you get an error using dload method can you tell me which one is it? At least the device behavior.
I have to sleep, I'll be right back on the morning hope you'll make it this night , if don't , please be more specific and accurate when you describe the errors you faced, that way we will be more efficient when answering

Currently there's no working OS on it so I'm gonna see if I can find a firmware that I can flash. Do you have any idea where I can get one?
Yeah on honor official site: Hihonor
Or with firmware finder

If you need a full firmware then you should visit official honor site..
If you flash LineageOS on a phone without OS it won't work just because LineageOS patch the current installed System, if there is no system there is no way it will boot

I can't find any Honor 8 FRD-L09 downloads anywhere on the Huawei sites or Honor sites. They must've removed the downloads just like they did with the Honor 7..

I get that now and I know how to proceed in the future.
On another note, I got a good UPDATE.APP available but it refuses to install using the dload method because the versions are different. Does anyone know which partition the USERDATA.img file goes to?
You don't have to flash each single partition but dude in my opinion it's better to flash the whole UPDATE.APP, just use the rollback package and flash a lower EMUI.
Another thing: I'm currently on honor official site and I can download firmwares, you're searching in the wrong place.
