Do you have the stock update.app file for stock Oreo? Extract it via Huawei extractor and flash recovery via fastboot.

Hello, you can download a "NoCheck" Recovery for Honor 8 (FRD) Oreo here => https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HmFAMYm1pU7RdKkOq_TMdthCxZJflzv9
"NoCheck" means you can install any firmware (without approval of installation).

okay, so i installed FF for android and found the latest update from there and extracted the recovery but every time i try to install i get the following error:
Code:
C:\honor fix>fastboot devices
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx fastboot
C:\honor fix>fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (43904 KB) OKAY [ 1.605s]
Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition er
ror')
Finished. Total time: 1.679s
C:\honor fix>
any help on a solution?

FRD-L04 Help needed

I have a l04 with the latest 5.0 emui Android 7.0... The issue is that I wanted to format the phone to sell and doing so I deleted the os from twrp on accident and tried flashing the stock rom given from Huawei, but now the phone is giving me errors when trying to flash anything on twrp it tells me zip is corrupt. Not sure what to do from here since I cannot get the 5.0 recovery/boot/cust/system img files. Or the update app to do the 3 button reset.

Well i flashed the old img files for android 6 and they are not working i'm guessing because i am coming from android 7, so i flashed the twrp from xda for nougat and that is currently where i am at.

So try flash full fw Nougad or from Lineage 14.1 by OpenKirin Team flash vendor.zip and rom.zip

Okay lineage 14.1 worked, but is there any way to go back to emui 5.0?
I used the link on your profile for the go back to stock and I'm on the NRD90M test-keys official, but I wanted to get the b385 update from the team Mt firmware updater and it says it is approved. How would I update it through if the internal updater app on this ROM does not work?
Was able to setup proxy with desktop version and hisuite seems to be updating with new firmware.

Please help
Have you tried to flash the rollback to Marshmallow package followed by the stock room itself via dload?
Does your TWRP work properly? In case it does, try to flash a custom rom.

I haven't tried yet, but i've tried flash b101, b360 and b389 firmware (which i have before it bricked). TWRP is working I think, but every try to flash rom is failed. I tried to flash lineage rom, but don't know it is a best choice.

@hackslash can you assist him?!
@AkramRonald
There are 2 ways to solve this.
1. If you have the EMUI 5 update.app available, then extract Recovery2 from the .app file and flash it to the recovery2 partition using Fastboot.
You should not flash EMUI 5 packages through dload. You should flash a downgrade package first then the EMUI 4.1 package.
2. Tell me your model number and I'll give you a link to the firmware which you can easily flash via TWRP.

Excellent.
Those files must have been inside a zip file.
Simply install TWRP and flash those both zip files.
Then install recovery2 and perform a factory reset.

Can I flash the zip which contains the update.app file with tarp. ?????
Or should I extract the images inside the update.app file and flash them individually using twrp. ??????

Flash the zip files using TWRP. Do not extract and flash. Install zip file only.

Whatever i try, phone stays on NRD90M test-keys

I hope someone is merciful enough to take me out of my misery. I have screwed up often enough but this phone is driving me nuts.
So far i have managed to install TWRP on it and this part works fine. After that i have downloaded the three files to update the ROM (update.zip, update_full_NXT-L09_hw_eu.zip and update_full_hw_spcseas.zip) I boot into TWRP and try to do a "format data" which ends in an error. I flash then the three files one after the other, do a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache and reboot then. Surprise, surprise the system is still how it was left before boot into recovery. Nothing has been wiped/deleted all the data is there and the same ROM version. I thought to give a custom ROM a shot and downloaded TM8_B386_SIGNED booted into TWRP and flashed it but with this the phone does not even boot up. Has anyone got any idea what to try? The three button method with dload folder didn't work either, stops at 5% with an error.
Phone is a L09 version, currently installed is the NRD90M Rom with android 7 and EMUI 5. Phone is the 3GB/32GB version and location is Australia.
TIA
you can rollback since you are on test-keys! just use the rollback method from huawei itself

I can't really find it anywhere at the moment for the L09 version. Is there any way to check which version of firmware exactly i need? When i go to firmware finder there are hundreds of L09xxx versions and i have no idea which one to take
OK, i have found the rollback package and copied it into the dload folder. The three button recovery works to and the update starts and finishes with a success message. When the phone boots up it still says build NRD90M.
Anyone any ideas?
mate. u need to rollback and then make a new install with the right update.zip! If it says NRD90M you have the wrong update zip or you forget to flash the second.zip ^^

Is there any way to figure out which rom exactly i need? I have downloaded dozens of different ones and not one of them works. Every single one fails with "software install failed"
My device is a L09 in Australia so i guess Asia/Pacific variant
which version you had before you started to mess around with your phone? cXXXbXXX ?

That's the problem, i have no idea. All i know it was EMUI 4 and Android 6
I have downloaded seperate files cust.img, system.img, usserdata.img and cache.img
When i try to flash them in fastboot cache and userdate work fine. Cust image and system.img show errors as shown below. Any ideas?
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash cust cust.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'cust' (14977 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.320s]
writing 'cust'...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 0.346s
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
error: cannot load 'SYSTEM.img'
C:\fastboot>
thats not how rollback works. you make the rollback and then you install the new rom with the huawei update methode! stock recovery! "update.zip" in the folder etc.
Thanks to everyone who has helped. I have finally got it to work with the rollback method and now would like to update it to a Nougat ROM. Could someone please be so kind and tell me which one exactly i need?
The current info as shown on the phone is Build number NXT-C900B193 EMUI 4.0
TIA
no problem mate great it worked!! so you are stock rom and stock recovery yes?

I believe so. I have just downloaded the rollback and installed it with the three button method and then HUAWEI_Mate_8_Firmware_NXT-L29B_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C636B193_05013LYB with three button method in dload folder.

Hi Mate
I too now have the same issue as you !
I have a Australian Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L09 and tried Firmware update to Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 and now phone stays on NRD90M test-keys.
I have no Bluetooth , Alarm , apps crashing and missing apps.
Before upgrading to Android 7 EMUI 5.0 using FF app my firmware was the official Huawei NXT-L09C636B191 firmware (android 6.0 EMUI 4.0)
Please tell me where I can find the rollback package for NXT-L09 for Australian Mate 8 model? Or how I can fix this issue.
Thanks
Gav

Hello,
I have Honor 8 frd-l09, that was running c432 b521 version of EMUI 8.0. I want to go back to stock but i do not know which files should i download. On pro-teammt website are many donwload link for my model:
... update.zip
... update_full_FRD-L02_hw_eu.zip
... update_full_FRD-L19_hw_eu.zip
... update_data_full_public.zip
... update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip
Those are all the links when i click "filelist". It is obvious that i do not need to download FRD-L02 and FRD-L19, because i have FRD-L09. Should i download just that one or do i also need "update.zip" and "update_data_full_public.zip"?
Thanks for the answers.

You need update and update_data too
Anyway I suggest to you to use eRecovery, but that will take you to Android 7 and lock back your bootloader

Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded all of them, but i do not know what should i do with them. "update.zip" constains "UPDATE.APP" and also "update_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu-zip" constains UPDATE.APP. I looked at some tutorials and they just put "UPDATE.APP" in the dload and flash it. I have 3 zips and 2 "update.app" files.
Could you help me get to stock and describe what i need to do.
THANKS A LOT!

The problem with huru is that i do not have TWRP recovery, because i am running OpenKirin rom. I wanted to flash twrp but it did not work and now i do not have a recovery. When i boot into recovery i just get Func NO : 11 (reovery image), Error NO : 2 (load failed!).
What could i do?
Thanks for helping me
Hi, you can safely use your erecovery as it will download the stock b562 Oreo firmware. It won't relock your bootloader because you are already on Oreo. It used to lock it when you went back from Oreo to nougat. You can trust me as I have used this method quite a bit of times to save my half bricked phone
