Hi, I have a problem with the phone, I installed Android 6.0 Emui 4.0.1 version H60-L12C00B860 but I need to do downgrade to Android 5.1. for rooting phone by Kingroot. I found only a file name H60-L02-L12_EMUI4.0_2_EMUI3.1.zip (283 MB) but I do not have Emui 4.0.2 ,I have 4.0.1. Will this file work correctly? And if not, what's easier to find: upgrading Emui to 4.0.2 or older downgrader for Emui 4.0.1. Please help. Sorry for my bad english.
//I found the right file, but there was a bigger problem: I do not have "local update" in the Emui update options - i can only update online. How can I restore/add this option?
No one wanted help from me? Ok, I did it differently, now I have android 5 + phone with root. There is one other problem, I can not change the default location of the phone: there is China, I want western Europe, because I can not use google play. I found a topic for honor 6+ https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-vendor-country-eu-t3498920 and that's probably the way it can be done. The question is where to get the eu.zip file for honor 6? Maybe someone has it and would explain to me the procedure step by step (if it is different)?
Hi Yellow_
QQ: how did you manage to downgrade to 5?
Explanation:
I've a H60-L12 with Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0.1 and although everything [else] seems to work just fine, I can't seem to get Google Contacts to sync. The option slider in Contacts Settings is grayed out and unresponsive. Unfortunately, without my contacts this phone is all but useless. Hence, I've tried to go back to a previous version, but a simple restore [in TWRP] of my old backup fails after the upgrade. None of the instructions for rolling back were of any help, either.
I'd really appreciate if you could pass along your steps on how you downgraded your Honor 6 to Android 5. Thanks!

Really HuaweiP8max is unstable on android 6...? So I am not going to update to 6... Really sad
What is the main problem with 6 ?
I had been searching for a way to update my EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to EMUI 5.0. During the previous month I tried to install EVA-L09C636B361 firmware via either dload and Huawei Updater, but such means of direct installation never worked out.
Now the problem is solved, and the solution is quite simple, though a little bit unexpected: using Huawei Updater to install EVA-L19C636B190 before installing EVA-L09's own B361 firmware. I mean, it is interesting that we have to "borrow" the B190 firmware from the Dual SIM L19 model in order to update to EMUI 5.
(I'm not the first person to find the solution. I just found out that in a Taiwanese forum a tutorial is already posted. )
So there are two steps to install B361:
1.
Install EVA-L19C636B190 via Huawei Updater
Use Custom ROM URL
Copy and paste the link to EVA-L19C636B190:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1079/g104/v64578/f1/
Use the HiSuite on PC to finish the installation of B190 (Set its proxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 41279)
2.
Repeat the previous process, but this time, replace the link with the one to EVA-L09C636B361:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73928/f1/
Again, use the HiSuite to finish the installation of B361
Note that the C636B190 version firmware for L19 model does run on L09 without the support of the L09-exclusive NFC. I think there should be a thread discussing this. Anyways, before official update comes out, the two steps above seem to be the only way to install EMUI 5 on the Asia-Pacific EVA-L09C636 version without losing data.
That is interesting, I dont have a C636 but I would assume just doing step 2 without the need to flash a L19B636 would do the trick.

I was searching for this for months. I bought my p9 EVA-L09C636 in the US (I'm european) and I never had the chance to update, even at 4.1.1. I went crazy because I tried several times to unlock the bootloader first, installing twrp and flashing updates but with no success. It's unbelievable that I need to fake the version with huawei updater to obtain the updates for my phone. Now I've Nougat, without factory reset, with everything working, from nfc to all stock apps and services. Thank you very much

Well, in that case it keeps failing at 1%. I saw some previous posts talking about this as well.
Need Help
My model is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
I tried to update like this, it's started updating and got an error while updating then phone rebooted with new update,
but there's lot of errors,
Built Number displays as - NRD90M test-keys
Updater missing in settings
Camera missing
Flash Light not working
Clock missing
File Manger missing
and few more default huawei apps missing.
How do I fix it or downgrade to previous version back?
Thanks finally I was able to update my P9 to Nougat using this steps. The only difference is that there is a EVA-L09C636B190 available now so i didnt have to use the version for any other cell, I was afraid to do it. So following this steps i was able to upgrade from 168 to 190 and finally to 361 version.
My Phone is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
Even though my phone is L09 I've flashed L19 by following the steps on this thread -
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l09c636b521-official-firmware-guide-t3544729/)
2016.12.29 - EVA-L19C636 - EVA-L19C636B361
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1583/g104/v74666/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...ll/hw/spcseas/update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip
it's still NRD90M test-keys. but i'm cool with it.
Works on AL00 as well?
I was wondering if I can get the most current european rom on my AL00 with that method as well?
Holy cow thank you for this tutorial.
I spent six hours following every tutorial I could find on the web and my P9 staunchly refused to install ANY update from the very next one after the one it came with all the way up to the latest!
After hours and hours of trying this method is the one that worked.
Edit: This firmware is a developer build.
There have been several updates installed since it was released.
After you this firmware it you should immediately install Huawei Firmware Finder from the Play Store and install the latest full OTA.
The developer build changes the device ID of your phone so you have to manually add the model of your phone in Firmware Finder as:
EVA-L19C636
Otherwise Firmware Finder would tell you there are no firmwares available for your model.
If you can't install the latest OTA immediately after installing this firmware, first install the next one available (38 if I recall correctly) then install the latest OTA -- 38 will say it failed to install but it actually installs just fine, then install the latest full OTA.
That will give you all the bug fixes and the security patches from Google.
Also note that this firmware works on both the dual sim and single sim models (it's built for the single sim but my device is dual sim and the sim configuration in settings works).

The build number is normal.
As for the disappearing apps, it sounds like you have faulty flash storage.
That will cause files and apps to randomly disappear.
Hello all.
My phone was on L29C432B192
Rooted, TWRP, nothing else.
I had never updated to beta of emui 5.0 because I don't have much free time those days, and I didn't feel like going into updates that would have to be re-updated in the next few months, might no be rooted yet, and might take time to sort out is everything does no go smoothly.
Sadly, my phone decided otherwise. This morning, I saw that there was an update to EMUI 5.0. I stupidly pressed "quick update" before thinking ...
Reboot on TWRP, install something, and now I'm on model L29 (no specific) build number NRD90M test-keys. (EMUI 5.0)
Some search showed me that I might no be the first : ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/c432-ota-changed-build-to-nrd90m-test-t3544123 )
But this thread is a bit short, and doesn't answer all my questions. Wich specificaly are :
- Why did this happen ? Because I'm rooted and / or on TWRP ? I though B560 was a beta, and would only be pushed through OTA if you're part of the beta program. Wich I am not.
- What exactly does not work with this build ? So that I know if it's urgent that I square things up.
- What is the rollback package I must use ? Is it this one ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate8-rollback-package-nxt-l29-t3498256
Because it says C900B500 ... wich makes me doubt that it's the right one. If not, can you direct me to the right thread for L29C432 ?
- And lastly, now that my hand has been forced into tweaking / updating the phone, what's still unstable with b560 ? Should I go back to emui 4.0 or is b560 already better ?
Thanks in advance to whoever want to takes a few minutes to help me.
I know I could find some of those infos by myself. Hell, ANY info can be found, with enough time ... but as I said, I don't have much free time. I didn't plan to get into this, and if a kind soul want to help me get in the right track, that would be mighty hepfull.
updates? same probleme here
Hello there,
Last week I received via OTA the latest version of EMUI. Build: `NRD91M test-keys`. I thought the update was succesfull as it hadn't show any errors but today I see that bluetooth is not working. I made a restore defaults and it continues without working. Anyone here had the same problem?
Hi
I have the Same issue. Did you found any solution?
I was also unable to put the hihonor rollback nor firmware on it - Installation stuck at 5%.
mine was rooted before OTA upgrade... maybe the root issue?
FRD-L09 with NRD90M test-keys
Thanks for help or hints
same problem seems that it's happen to all people that unlocked there bootloader and rooted there devices if anyone have solution please tell
yay - after few weeks with a bricked phone I was finnaly able to fix it:
- installed rollback "FRD-L19&L09, from Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1, C900B300" from hihonor.com
- installed "FRD-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B131" from hihonor.com
- normal over the air update to 7.0 back again - Done.
I'm not sure if they had changed those update.app files or my SD-card (fancy 10class 32GB - stucket at 5%) - this time I used an older 8GB sdcard which works like a charm...

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
