Help, GEM 702 B005

Hey, i need help with my GEM 702. Currently its version 3.0.5 EMUI Build B005. Ive been reading all over about android 6.0 and i want it on my device... yet i go to update my pad and it shows no available updates. Am i doing something wrong? Can anyone help me out please. Idk wat to do... im tec savy, just dont wana brick it by doing something stupid on my part.
Edit: Huawei is useless for support, ive emailed them 4 or 5 times now, asking about it and they just keep sending me to the comsumers website saying my device is international and they cant help me. It looks like you guys are alot more helpful then they are, Thanks

There is no official Android 6 for 702.Only Beta Version for 702.You can unlock the Bootloader and install Twrp and flash another Rom with Android 6.

There's no official OTA android 6.0 update for gem-702L, only beta version.
You need to download the beta firmware here: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=80246&version=318941&siteCode=tw
unzip, put the dload in your SDcard and manually update.

thank u guys, i appreciate it, not only was it under a day, it was actual useful info, thanks to both of u. Much more help then their customer service. Thanks again!

Android Nougat (NRD90M test-keys ?) and Smart key

Hi Everyone,
I have some troubles with my Honor 8. I installed new OTA update using Firmaware Finder (FRD-L09C432B360). I installed both packages, big on ~2.2 Gb and also some battery fix update ~200Mb. I don't why, but my build number is NRD90M test-keys now. And also Smart key is not working now.
So i have few questions regarding my problems:
Is build number problem ? Will i receive new official OTA updates?
Do you know, why smart key is not working ? I tried to write own android application to handle this button, but system not even receive event from this button. Do you have some solution for that ?
I found new OTA update in Firmware Finder B380. Is this update fix bugs mentions above ?
Thank you for advice and help .

This is not normal and I don't think B380 will fix it for you. I suggest you roll-back to MM using the official roll-back package and either update via standard OTA or trigger the update with Charles method.

Hi sysak,
thank you for your answer. Maybe stupid question, but how can i roll back to MM ? Could you please send me some tutorial ? I am newbie in this topic.
Thank you

If you contact Honor live chat via you Hicare app they will give you instructions.
I think that the role back downloads are on this site

Yes, follow the link from johnhux7. Download the 73mb rollback package and flash it with the instruction in the attached PDF. Then do the same thing with the 1.75gb C432B131 software from the same website and you'll be good.

Mate 8 general Forum is where you'll find your answer but be careful. You may get a lot of battery drain. I updated to nougat and didn't like it at all because of battery drain. Downgraded to emui 4.1 and although it's a little better, im still getting battery drain so I'm downgrading again back emui 4.

Hello. I prefer using magisk over SU. And I just wrote up a guide a few days back on how to do that (as long as your running Android Oreo/EMUI 8.

That's tough to answer.....it's all a manner of opinion really. I had slightly better SOT though in emui 5 (since its running Android Nougat) where as emui 8 us Android Oreo. Truthfully I flashed an AOSP ROM after I upgraded to emui 8 because once you go to emui 8 / Android Oreo, it enables treble support. I'm not a big fan of emui in the first place though. However, the AOSP ROM's are newer so they are still wip when it comes to working 100% for the huawei mate 9.
May I ask what custom ROM you are using? And how do you find it? What's your SOT?

Download firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (if available) and unpack update.app from update.zip
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor and extract ramdisk.img, this is the boot image file that magisk manager needs to patch.

Okay... Sorry for the delay.
You'll obviously have to go back to stock first. And then hisuite should work to upgrade to Oreo. Just trying to think what the best way to return to stock would be for your model version and get you upgraded to Oreo.

i see this requires Microsoft Windows. i only have Linux. any suggestions?

Too late... unless you've got a bootloader unlock code before July 24. Did you? I'll guess not, hence...no root for you, enjoy GPU Turbo and Pie (whenever that comes).

P20 Please Help for the after downgrade issue

Hello everyone,
Please help.
I bought the Canadian Fido P20. Few days ago, the system updated to EMUI 9.0 automatically.
Since that, I couldn't download the themes from Huawei Themes App and also got some app problems.
Therefore I downgrade back to EMUI 8.1 through the Hisuit. Right now the build number is EML-L09 8.1.0.113(C792).
I'm not sure this is the right version for my phone. Now I still cannot download the themes from Huawei Themes APP, also the update push of EMUI 9.0 is no longer available.
Just drive me crazy about that, if I tried to use Hisuit to recover the cellpone, it doesn't support the device. I have no idea why Huawei provides this kind of poor support to Canadian.
Anyone knows how to get the right version back? Anything I can do about it?
Thank you very much, guys
