First flash, need help!

Hello Everyone,
a friend brought me a Mate 8 from China and I want to switch from the AL10 version to an international one to get rid of the chinese base and to reintroduce google play and other apps to the phone. I simply dont speak chinese, you know?
The details:
Found Phone : HUAWEI NXT-AL10
Firmware : NXT-C00B197
I managed to unlock bootloader, get a twrp on in and to install SuperUser. The last two was difficult and I used the SRK tool from sonboons.
My first issue - I never could tick the function "unlock OEM" or so, because it is simply not shown in the "Developer Options". Is it ok to ignore that?
My second issue - Which Roms should I load onto my SDCard before wiping and installing them? When I look through the forums it always says something like "Before you flash this, go flash Version B1xx and then B3xx. Which Roms exactly need I flash in order to get from my B197 to a stock rom with google apps or a customized rom where I have google apps, minor optimazations and no bloatware?
If you have suggestions, you have my unlimited gratitude

You can find all the official stock firmware here: Huawei Mate 8 Stock Firmware official thread
With regard to the bootloader, if you managed to install TWRP then your bootloader is already unlocked.

Thanks, the first link looked promising until I got to step 6 where the files of the oeminfo and custom.bin (C432) need to be downloaded - no longer available
Please help! I'll keep looking in the meantime...

Here is it for C432

FRD-AL00 without OEM Unlock option?

Just got a FRD-AL00, whoever there is no OEM Unlock option in the developer menu. What does this means?
I'm still waiting for my Huawei codes since I don't have the phone registered to the Huawei ID in more than 14 days. So I don't know if the bootloader unlock will work without that option.

I also just got this phone and there is no 'oem unlock ' option in developer settings.. Anyone know what the deal is here?

I dont have the OEM Unlock option either. Same case.. I have the honor 8 frd-al00, but my chinese version is already updated to android 7 y emui 5.
All the honor 8 tutorials require that this option should be enable.
So.. what we can do? how we can solve this? I already receive my code for the unlock.
I want to root and debrand the frd-al00 to the international version al09, mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
But without this option I cant do it.

Not very good idea...
Phone get unstable in short time with this rebrand made... After watch video or photos in short time applications stop to run...
It will not work good, i had this experience and after all had to go back to AL00...
And it was not only me, on 4pda.ru forum a lot of such cases, so better think twice...

I already have the code as I mention.. but not sure what are you saying.. this mean that even without enabling that option i can make the unlock? but not sure if something bad may happen if the OEM unlock option in disable, and like I said.. that option it does not appear in the development menu, I can find the debugging usb option, but not the other. Some al00 has this OEM unlock option, but not all, maybe depends on the update I get.. my phone auto update to emui 5.0 and android 7.

you did the same steps that the link guide I quote?
If rebrand is not an option.. then my other options are not good either, because I read that all mods had reboot issues and some other problems.. they dont have the camera apps either, just a basic picture app who does not take a good advantage of double lens system.
So.. what we can do if we have the al00? I just want to use voice search commands (not chinese commands).

If u in EMUI 5.0, u must rollback to 4.1, use this method. It's worked with my Honor 8. I think u can.

Is any way to debrand without the emui 4.1, I have emui 5.0, my honor 8 is frd-al00, I cant find the rollback file for emui 4.. I find one for frd-al09 from 5 to 4.1, but that is the european version..
I have the bootloader code, but I can not activate the oem unlock option because it does not appear in my development tools, you told me that I have to go back to 4.1, but I have no idea how to do that.. or when I can find the file to do it..
Any advice.. ? What happen if I use the rollback file for the frd-al09?

u can use Hisuit to go back to EMUI 4.1.
Or may try go to fastboot, unlock bootloader in fastboot? Maybe it work. Shutdown Honor, hold volume down + connect ur device to PC via USB cable. Then u try to unlock, if not, the only way is EMUI 4.1.

I was able to rollback to 4.1 with hisuite, and I manage to unlock bootloader and install twrp.
I made a backup of all my files, then download the frd-al09432b131, (my phone is frd-al00 which also has 4gb - 32gb), I unzip the firmware and I place it in the ssd card under the folder dload. (not sure if only the update.app file should be in it, or also the other folders like meta-inf and oeminfo, I try with both).
Then from the twrp I did a format data and I wipe data once. Then I shutdown the phone.
press volume up +down+ power until the update starts to run..
But..
At 5%, a alert come up saying:
------------------
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
(reboot system now)
------------------
But well, I dint reach so far to resign now.. I am downloading a new firmware from the honor site:
Honor 8 Firmware(FRD-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B131, United Kingdom)
I hope this work... or I may be doing something wrong?
Edit: still happen with the new firmware that I download, not sure what to do.. I need supersu for this?

because I want to rebrand my phone.
a friend mine bought it for me in China, I didnt know it would be so different in software without google voice search.
So reading guides from this forum, I saw 3 rebrand guides, from chinese version to the similar version of europe (which seems to be the global), I am from Argentina.
I cant post the link of the guides because I am still newbie in this forum.

Old firmware?

Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

Ah thanks both. I've just had a look at that site and firmware finder. As there doesn't seem to be an OTA update heading my way I might give firmware finder a bash. Many thanks.

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build

I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.

Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.

i m not able to install stock recovery i m on twrp AND THERE IS NO OS IN MY PHONE
vendor and product partitions are completely empty
not able to boot at all not installing any rom zip as saying not able to mount vendor
how to flash vendor and product i tried with fastboot but it says remote command not allowed and tried installing stock recoery by fastboot and it installs successfully but when i boot recovery there is only twrp everytime
without stock i cant use dload method and stock is not installing and custom roms are also not installing

Hey guys.
after a download with firmware finder,I found this problem: ????
failed to authenticate installation passage.This package is unauthorized and will be deleted.Please download and install an authorized installation package.
Help me.my build number is b361 and I want to update to b380

Downgrade firmware to unlock bootloader to root

Hi all,
I got my new Huawei Honor V10 Saturday and it's an excellent phone! The phone updated itself to the latest firmware as soon as it connected to WiFi.
So now I have BKL - L09 8.0.0. 163(C636)
This is an important question that might help all new V10 people....
Would it be possible to use funky Huawei to downgrade the firmware to before the July patch /update and then use DC unlocker or HCU client to unlock the bootloader??
What's your thoughts on this?
Thanks for your help
D.

Do you have a code?
If you have a code.. You don't have to downgrade
If you don't have a code.... Sorry about your bad luck

He does not have one.
We were thinking, as DC/HCU used to work with Honor V10 (though on their site it only lists AL models, but I have seen someone use it to remove FRP lock), downgrading might be a solution. Sadly there are no dload packages for C636, but they exist for both C432 and C00 on androidhost.ru.
The thing is, if someone has already tried this and it failed OP wouldn't have to waste $45$.
So if someone on C432 who doesn't have an unlock code they could test downgrading to a May patch firmware or earlier.
I can provide instructions if you want to test.
This works fine on Mate 10/Pro as long as you haven't updated to a 02 xloader, then downgrading won't work as recovery will check xloader to prevent the brick that occurs when you flash a 01 xloader firmware on one with 02

I have a c675 on b161...I have a unlock code.. But am unwilling to root the finiky honor..
While I could.. It's not as easy or simple as my old Samsung.. Plus a lot of the features break upon flashing of other ROMs
While I would debloat tweak..I think the phone is fine as it is
Good luck...

OP doesn't have an unlock code. OP is asking if it would be possible to downgrade using FunkyHuawei to an earlier fw, and then to use DC/HCU to get unlock code.
Same way can be done on Mate 10/Pro, I downgraded (Though through DLOAD) from C432B148-SP1 to B142 and DC was working fine. On C432B145+ (June+) it is not working at all.
But I cant find any real proof that DC/HCU was working for global Honor View 10 prior to June firmware.
And as for debloating, there's not much bloat to begin with (thankfully). And preinstalled apps, including some of Huaweis own, can be uninstalled/disabled.
I couldn't live without root But I guess I like tinkering with my phone more than actually using it as a phone, lol

Good luck

You would have to use service firmware from androidhost.ru. I would downgrade to the version which is GPU Turbo. That one might work with DC.
You get instructions with the firmware, but basically just you unzip the file, copy the 'dload' folder from 'Software' to microsd and start dload mode (Vol up + down + power).

B376 is the build that added GPUTurbo so you should be able to downgrade to that.
They added a new bootloader in that so you can't downgrade past it.
(You can technically but your device will hardbrick and you need to flash with TWRP or NoCheck recovery).
It may be possible because huawei started preventing downgrades in Pie, and I'm not sure if they've done so in later builds of Oreo too...

Downgrade to a previous build. Like B197 to B179. Can't be done in Pie.
You could try with the Handset ProductLine drivers found in DCs download section, but if it can read phone it means it should work if it's not patched in B376. So chances are they added it in B376, and you can't downgrade past it.
You didn't save unlock code last time you got it?

I can provide instructions if you want to test.
This works fine on Mate 10/Pro as long as you haven't updated to a 02 xloader, then downgrading won't work as recovery will check xloader to prevent the brick that occurs when you flash a 01 xloader firmware on one with 02

Downgrade to a previous build. Like B197 to B179. Can't be done in Pie.
You could try with the Handset ProductLine drivers found in DCs download section, but if it can read phone it means it should work if it's not patched in B376. So chances are they added it in B376, and you can't downgrade past it.
You didn't save unlock code last time you got it?

Unfortunately I could not find the code I was given before.
DC does not identify my phone by name and model it is just saying Found Applications port
Also in DC app on my phone there is no option for code by IMEI ???
I could not find a specific drivers for my phone in download section of Dc site. There is two files for Huawei Android phone drivers but I do not know how to instal them.

Huawei Mate 9 compilation MHA-L09C605B111 correct upgrade?

Hi, my comilation is MHA-L09C605B111 What would be the correct build number that you would have to look for in Firmware Finder?

Don't you mean MHA (not MHL)?
There is b365 FullOTA-MF-PV, should be ok for DLOAD
But don't you receive OTA updates (valid SIM card must be in) - also, have you tried from eRecovery, Install latest firmware

Sorry my bad, MHA
no method updates me, no OTA ever arrived. Not download the latest package, find no update looking for it from the system, HiSuite the same.
mi Mate 9 is single SIM and free of operators, It was imported from Paraguay.
Huawei does not give me a ball, Boludos are made
Tell me, which one would be correct to download? 1-2-3-4?
When not arriving updates I have unlocked the bootloader, If you so kind to recommend a method for flash, so I start studying it.
thanks for answering and have a nice day!
Edit: I checked each one and it resulted in 1 and 2, which are apparently the same, repeated.
I will download 1. (second image attached)

By looking into the last column, I think there are only two packages, #117092 and #117094
I checked on Firmware Finder (on the phone) and both seem to have the same ChangeLog
Date is also the same 30.1.2018
So I think you can go with any of the four
You need to download three files for L09, see screenshot
Instructions for DLOAD:
https://huaweiflash.com/how-to-flash-huawei-stock-firmware-all-methods/
- Create DLOAD folder on your SD card
- Copy three downloaded files (don't unzip) to DLOAD folder
- Power off, disconnect from USB
- Press and keep pressing Vol+ and Vol-, both
- Power on
Btw, even with that update you will be on Oreo, Security Patch Jan 2018.
So take a chance and buy Booltloader code for 4-5 EU:
Once you upgrade to Oreo mid year 2018 or even Pie, procedure becomes much more complicated and costs 45-50 EU:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/
With BL Code you will be able to rebrand, root, etc.
Once you obtain BL code, you can reuse it as much as you want and it is good for your device no matter if you rebrand, upgrade/downgrade

Seems I forgot to attach screendhot in the previous answer;(
Download zip for L09 and two zips common (without L09, L29 in the name).
ZIP for L29 is for L29 model.
But you can search on this forum - I think you can after that rebrand to L29 (dual SIM) since you have BL code:
