My Mate 8 L29 is currently on C432B192 again. I said 'again', because I was already three or four times on EMUI 5. (I tried to root it but it failed Everytime, so I had to rollback)
Yesterday I wanted to try again to root B560 and began to search for the update, but - nothing. I tried it via update app , HiCare app and HiSuite on PC. I don't get the update offered. (I also deleted data and cache of those apps)
I'm currently rooted, so I tried to unroot, install stock boot image and recovery .. but same problem: still not getting the update.
Now I'm wondering why this is happening .. I had that same case before (B192, rooted etc.) and I always got that update offered.
Does anyone have a solution for this ? ( Except the manually method via TWRP .. this was never working for me)
Thank you for your help!

You need rollback package to get it back to normal.
Since your model is L29 & you are nougat.
Go to this site http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
Download the file
Extract the update.app
Make a folder on your sdcard and name it as dload
put this update.app in that sdcard
now you do the dload method
you can do it two ways
one way is
the 3 finger rule while bootup
just press volume + volume - power button together and hold until you see EMUI verifying package
then release your fingers
it will rollback to marshmallow
now you have to update it to another stock firmware (marshmallow)
remember at this point it is in global firmware it might show build number as C900 or something.
you can check it in the settings - about -> build number
you have to then update it to your model firmware
L29C185BXX
I found the stock firmware from another thread for your model
This is L29C185B200
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
once again
download the file,
extract the update.app &
then put the update.app in dload folder on your sdcard
and then do dload method.
second way of dload is
open dialer
type *#*#2846579#*#*
click on "software upgrade"
and then -> SDcard upgrade
follow the instructions on the screen
and it will finish the dload method in next few minutes.
That's it. now you will be on Stock ROM with fully functional OS.
after this you will either get OTA updates or you can download using HiCare
or you can download the stock firmware from another thread
or
you can use firmware finder to get stock firmware for your phone. Get the latest version.
If you finish all these steps then I will tell you how to get to nougat if you have any trouble
Hope you find this information useful.

You are rooted & if I read correctly you also have TWRP installed.
If you are unlocked, rooted & have TWRP - then you can install custom roms.
but if you want stock roms, - you need Stock ROM, Stock Recovery, Locked bootloader.
First you need the rollback package from EMUI4.1 to EMI 4.0 for L29C432 is below
https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/0mlDFqqy
Rollback package for L29 to downgrade from EMUI 5.0 to EMUI 4.0 marshmallow is
http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/products/downloads/detail/mate-8-sg.htm?id=91647
So choose the right version based on the firmware you are having on your phone. If you have nougat choose the second link and if you have any other version then choose the first link.
Download the file, extract the update.app
then you have to do dload method
create a folder named dload and put update.app in sd card
then
go to dialer
press *#*#2846579#*#*
select
sdcard upgrade
and then say yes
that's it
you will come back to stock (global) version. build version will be C900BXX
now you need stock firmware for L29C432
you can download the stock firmware from here. Below tis the link for L29C432B180
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51244/f1/full/update.zip
Stock firmware for L29C432B192
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v63059/f1/full/update.zip
Here you have the option to either go for L29C432B180 or L29C432B192. (if you choose B192, then you will save time and reduce few steps, because you will get system update to B560 immediately once you change the region to Ireland in Hicare app)
do the dload method again
extract the file, put the file in dload folder in sdcard ,
either use dialer or use 3 button rule to finish the dload process
now you are on L29C432B180. / L29C432B192
From here you can use another dload method to go to B192 - > system update (OTA) -> B560 or B580
if you get a blank screen - > do factory reset
if you get "verification failed " in red color - > unlock bootloader again and proceed with the steps.
This rollback package will save you in case of any problems.
Once you go to nougat B560
you can update to Kangvip B577 - pre rooted rom - its awesome - Root stable , excellent battery lfie. - everything is working perfectly.
I will give you those steps and links if you succeed in getting to B560 after all these steps.
I am sorry that this is a very long post and many steps but I can assure you that it is worth.
Ultimately you will get to nougat & with full root using Kangvip B577.
Hope you succeed

As you can see here:
Team MT's extract from Huawei OTA database
(download links are available on the page non translated = http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GEM-701L&firmware_page=0)
A new incremental OTA is available for 701L since sept 7th 2017, it's GEM-701LR001C100B008. it at least "Improved system security and stability with the latest Google security patches". But it's still android 5.0.1 & EMUI 3.0.5 !
As an incremental OTA, it has to be installed using EMUI3 local updater (put update.zip in a dload folder at the root of your internal or external sd card, then settings->updater>menu->local update.) on this complete rom already running on the device:
GEM-701LV100R001C100B005
(this link gives you the full rom package, so you can reinstall it/or upgrade your B003, by emui local update also)
Hi,
i´m on GEM-701LV100R00C100B005 but there is nor OTA available.
Is it possible to download the updatezip from Huawei directly ?

Did you try firmware finder to update first to C100B005, before later upgrade to B008 with firlware finder also?
Hello,

Just get my hands on a brand new GEM-701LV100B005R001C100B003 .
Unfortunately GEM-701LV100R001C100B005 update.zip file is not available on download neither on TeamMT extract from huawei database, nor through Huawei firmware finder, nor through Huawei Danemark website, where the full rom has been downloadable for a moment
So I tried to install this OTA incremental update on top of GEM-701LV100B005R001C100B003 directly. But like you allinstallation with dlaod stop at 3%. Either direct download + emui local update, Firmwar finder + its proxy, downlaod with firmware finder + emui local update. All of this with both version of the OTA (sept 1st 2017, and sept 7th 2014).
So I dig a bit more and found a full installation file for GEM701LV100R001B005CUSTC100D001 . It'll take a couple hours to download, but I'll be able to test B008 OTA on this firmware, and I'll let you know!

The device that I got today with GEM-701LV100B005R001C100B003 rom, is now tonight with GEM-701LV100R001C100B008 rom !.

In order to have in one step a very clean stock 701L device with very last stock rom (B008 dated sept 7th 2017, android 5.0.1, emui 3.0.5, android security august 2017), please follow this thread . As soon as ajsmsg78 has added in post#1 a flashable GEM-701LV100R001C100B008 zip, then install it from TWRP recovery... and that's it
Hello,
i did a full wipe and format with twrp on my X2 701L .
Than i used ADB fastbboot to install boot.img , cust.img , recovery.img , system.img and userdata.img from
Huawei MediaPad X2 Firmware(GEM-701L, Android 5.0, EMUI 3.0.5, V100R001C100B003CUSTC100D001, Germany) Zipfile
extracted with HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5 .
The x2 did boot and now it seems that i have a clean B003 .
I will try now B005 and than B008.
---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
Hello,
dload did not work.
I used adb fastboot again as in my post above.
I had to reset the X2 with formatting internal SD to get 32GB total again.
Now i am on B005
Is there a way to get the full B008 Rom ?
---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------
Hello,
dload with Update B008 stops at about 17 % .
i hope to get the full b008 Rom to install it with adb and fastboot.
The fact that you have to use fastboot to install those huawei files, means that's something is wrong since the begijnning with your device installation.
- do a EMUI factory reset (in settings) on your installed B005
- Retry to install full B005 (please check/verify the archive first, with your archive-software). Install it through EMUI 3 local updater: put the dload folder containes in B005 archive, into the root of your internal storage or a external sd card, then then settings->updater>menu->local update. That's the way I used for the 701L I updated from B003 to B008. Try also 3 buttons pushed reboot with dload well placed, if emui local update did not worked
this SHOULD work. If not, that could me the same cause that make.
My point is for you to suceed a dlod install before trying something else!
Don't worry as soon as @ajsmsg78 put the TWRP flashable stock B008, you'll have a way at the end to obtain your 701L on last stock rom!

@Sebi1960, I got my hands on antoher untouched GEM-701L, and I did follow the same B003>B005>B008 process (all with EMUI 3 local updater, settings>updates>menu>localupdate). All went perfect, with no issue. You really need to start from a clean stock rom (so dload installed). I didn't factory reset befrore each update, but I advice you to.
Let me know for your device. And don't worry, I'm sending now to ajsmsg78 what he needs to finish his TWRP recovery flashable 701L B008 file!
Hi guys,
this morning was uploaded STF-L09C432B150 Rollback update (FullOTA) on Huawei server. Here are download links:

Changelog:
Code:
This update will roll back your phone's operating system to Android 7.0 (EMUI 5.1).
Rollback notes:
1. Please make sure you are currently using the official version of Huawei EMUI, and that no unofficial updates have been installed. Otherwise, there will be risk of an unsuccessful rollback, and an unknown error may occur.
2. Make sure that the current version has not been unlocked or rooted.
3. All user data will be deleted in the rollback. Use an SD card, computer, or Cloud storage to back up all important data before rolling back your phone, and make sure all backed up content is complete and effective.
4. Make sure your phone has more than 50% battery remaining.
5. If you experience any issues during the update, please call the Huawei customer service hotline or visit an authorised Huawei service centre for assistance.
6. The system will restart after the rollback. This will take about 10 minutes. Following the update, your home screen will automatically display the EMUI 5.1 theme.

I have now beta Oreo STF-L09 8.0.0.323(C432log). So this files are for rollback from this version.
And how to do it? First put update.app from first ZIP file do dload directory and flash it and then do the same with second app? As in this thread: https://androidforum.cz/advanced-search/?keywords=dload&t=76974&sf=msgonly (czech language)

I have a retail german version of the Honor9
After installing 150 you can also update to 180 via official system -> Update -> Download full package
wow I hope this means Oreo is comming officialy, mine was just updated to B180 since the one that came on the box, I think will be weird get two updates that fast, but I hope it comes soon
It's not ok for me. Not rooted, locked bootloader but when it restarts in recovery it give to me software failed error
I'm really hating Oreo (beta) in Honor 9 because performances are poor and battery too.
Did you do it like explained? Either in Huawei HiSuite or the Phone Manager (App) - No hacks or inofficial ways..

Hello dying_sun, i have the same problem.
Honor 9, STF L09 (Europe), now with OREO B360
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.1.1
- rooted with SuperSU
--> after some days I unrooted my device and locked my bootloader
(I use multitool for TWRP and stock recovery)
After unrooting OREO ota came and a realised that the capacitive buttons are not working. Tried different settings, only the home button works
What to do?
--> Rollback to B120.
I downloaded firmwares from different sites and tried different methods
3-button update: Installing failed
dload method sd card: Installing failed (NTFS format, 32 GB)
dload method internal memory: Installing failed
*#*#284...#*#* method, upgrade from sdcard: Installing failed
I tried to flash a kernel.....img (here in forum "Capacity fix" topic) but when I install it over TWRP the device asks me in which flash memory should it be flashed and I do not know what to choose. (system, ODM, splash2, recovery_ramdisk, cache)
I also tried the HWOTA method, but I get the message, that "recovery2" could not be written into ramdisk or something like that and then it stops.
Possible that I did not consider a little detail
Could you please tell me which firmware from firmware finder did you use and which method you choose to make rollback?
Slowly I get desperated with the phone.....
Thanks a lot in advance

3-button update: Installing failed
dload method sd card: Installing failed (NTFS format, 32 GB)
dload method internal memory: Installing failed
*#*#284...#*#* method, upgrade from sdcard: Installing failed
I tried to flash a kernel.....img (here in forum "Capacity fix" topic) but when I install it over TWRP the device asks me in which flash memory should it be flashed and I do not know what to choose. (system, ODM, splash2, recovery_ramdisk, cache)
I also tried the HWOTA method, but I get the message, that "recovery2" could not be written into ramdisk or something like that and then it stops.
Possible that I did not consider a little detail
Could you please tell me which firmware from firmware finder did you use and which method you choose to make rollback?
Slowly I get desperated with the phone.....
Thanks a lot in advance
Andy

First : Are you on nougat or oreo now, and what's your region ?
your phone is booting ok in system, but no capacitives buttons ? So you'll like to fix them before updating ?
When on nougat, for flashing the dload way a service repair nougat firmware, I think you must have formatted your SDcard to exFAT and not ntfs.
I think when using service repair dload files, you must use the same region files the phone is actually.
For info :
3-button update,
dload method,
& *#*#284...#*#* method,
Are all the same.
You also tried the HWOTA method, but which hwota files did you used ?

Hello oslo83,
The phones Emui is now Emui 8.0.0, B360.
I have an unlocked bootloader, booting is ok (message about unlocked bootloader comes first)
Capacitive buttons and flash light are not working --> I would like to fix them (this is the reason why I try to rollback to B120.
I tried to format to FAT 32, but not possible to copy update.app, because of size. With NTFS it worked. --> I try format to exFat
I downloaded a full-service-repair-package for europe from the site 4pda.ru.
Should I use Firmware finder?
What do you mean with "which HWOTA fileS? --> update.zip / update_full_data.zit and a third one..... comlete package, as described.
Thank you in advance.

Maybe to late to use dload as i don't think flashing dload nougat over oreo will work.
And the only public dload service repair firmware available seems to be only nougat.
And downgrading is maybe not usefull as it seems there is a simple fix for you now by flashing kernel...

No, not in your case.
I think FF won't help for downgrading.
And again, i think you don't need anymore.

No, I meant where did you get your hwota8.rar from ?
Where you using the new one for oreo or the old one for nougat ?
So for you the better will be to flash kernel fix : https://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=75772700
Help yourself, follow the instructions and don't try to install it over TWRP as you did before.

I got the HWOTA_base.zip from here "https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=793006&st=920#entry60779691"
Where you using the new one for oreo or the old one for nougat ?
I think that I used one for Nougat...... :-/
There is nowhere a note where to flash this kernel to? --> boot?, recovery_ramdisk? Splash? system? cache?
Do you perhaps know which flash directory should I use?
HWOTA won't work with OREO, so we need to rollback manually with ADB.
this guide (more like just code memo) is for people who didn't backuped before update,
or can't go back to B183 directly by any reason (like dead capacitive keys).

What You Need to Download
HWOTA (Windows tool)
Firmware Finder (Windows tool)
ADB and Fastboot (Windows tool)
C432B120 Firmware File
Stock NoCheck Oreo Recovery
What You Need to Have
unlocked bootloader and superuser, ADB.
adb push won't work, so you will need microSD card.
exFAT may not work on some ROMs (like Treble AOSP 8.0), so format it to FAT32.
What You Need to Do
1.
download B432C120 from Windows Version Firmware Finder and rename it (check [REBRAND] Honor 9 Thread).
why B120? bcuz it's the only firmware that leave capacitive keys and flashlights alive.
put them into microSD card root, with NoCheck Oreo Recovery .img (check How to install Oreo Thread).
insert microSD card to your phone and connect the phone to your PC and open ADB.
first of all,
Code:
adb shell
su
let's change recovery with NoCheck one first.
Code:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/STF_RECOVERY_OREO_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk
note that 'sdcard1' maybe different, like 'E1F2-A123', base on your ROM. It's your sdcard's name.
We'll put Firmware into recovery cache and make stock recovery to flash it.
Code:
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
note that 'sdcard' is not 'sdcard1', so you don't have to change it to sth like E6F3-A496.
your phone will reboot 2, 3 times and will suggest low level format and download new firmware.
now go to fastboot and unlock the bootloader.
this will do low level format.
2.
now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number.
do HWOTA (no need to do rebrand, just do firmware flash with update option) with C432B120 we downloaded before.
This will make your phone Stock C432B120.
3.
Let's Go back to B183, the newest Nougat ROM.
download Firmware Finder for Huawei app at Play Store.
choose C432B183 and update it with proxy.
maybe you got 'yet approved' error,
but there are quite numerous C432B183 so check every single one of it.
There is one that is flash-able.
4.
TADA, now you rollbacked your phone.
I think you can also rollback with Hisuite on PC, I did a few times to rollback from beta.
I don't like your guide because :
-You're flashing a B120 firmware which is not to rollback from oreo when there is already a B183 oreo's rollback available for this on FF.
-You have to flash it 2 times to fix your build version issue (maybe because it's not a rollback firmware).
Please note that your step 1 & 2 are the same, you just did hwota manually on step 1.
-You then updated from B120 to B150 when you could have directly updated to B183 not for oreo's rollback on FF.
Sorry.

Never tried that, but it would be much more simple and clear. This Thread will become useless though lol.

1. isn't that rollback for beta B321 and disables capacitive keys and Flash lights with B360a?
2. that's the point of this guide, since HWOTA is not properly working with oreo. you can just change the strings inside the hwota.sh if you want to.
3. no you can't jump to B183 directly from B120, shows approve error. any other firmware except B150 shows the error, same to B183 from B150.
Thx for the opinions though.

Nope, it's a rollback from oreo B3xx.
It's still has to be tested if rolling back from B3xx to B183 mess with capacitives keys.

Sorry but you are wrong : by using FF on B120, I can guarantee you that YOU CAN update to approved B183 using the full ota update ( the B183 one that is not to rollback).

I found out that We do can OTA to B183 directly, so I changed the GUIDE + some minor change.
2. now your phone is something like EMUI 8.0 Android 7.0, with broken build number. d
I didn't get this point. i mean with hwota (link you put in) we have just 2 options. update and rebrand. we have no choice for just flashing. sorry for my bad understanding.

do update.
which version of B183 are we supposed to take? I choose the last one: 116404
but I'm not sure it's the correct one. (changelog tell it's a rollback firmware)
seems the good one is the 111176 (changelog is not about rollback)
Don't follow this outdated OP and thread which were never right in the first place.
For rollback use HiSuite or HuRUpdater.
Those who updated to EMUI 9.1 Beta Firmwares and hated the EROFS and can't enjoy root can rollback to EMUI 9.0.
I was able to rollback from 9.1.0.135 to 9.0.0.200.
-Download the latest HiSuite.
-Click on "Update"
-Click on Previous Version
- HiSuite will then start to Download the EMUI 9.0 firmware, in my case it downloaded 9.0.0.200. Probably because this is the last EMUI 9.0 firmware.
- One download is complete it will proceed to install the firmware to your device.
- Once complete, you device will reboot to recovery and complete installation.
Note: This process will delete all your user data.
Goodluck!!
So you planning to use latest pre-EROFS to get/keep root and decrypt.
Is .200 the latest AL00 pre-EROFs version?
Do you need a HiSuite version > HiSuite-9.0.2.301?
I was going to do HSTool to do the rollback myself, though HiSuite would be easier/less crashes.
I'm on 9.1.0.120 right now with Globalized ROM 2.2 will stay on it until someone figure out EROFS.
9.1.0.120 is the last pre-EROFS. The next update to 9.1.0.120 is 9.1.0.123 which is when EROFS start.
Huawei website has HiSuite 9.0.3.300 but it update itself to an even newer version. The process was simple and straight forward. The only downside is that it will delete your data.

Thanks.
Did you have to unlock your bootloader again after the 133 and 135 updates closed it?
Yes, I think I did when I updated to .135 before.

I was able to downgrade, thx for your help, i had to desactivate my internet after install the HiSuite, than i was able to open without the needing of update! Thx very much
