Hi all,
I bought a H60-L12, but the manufacturer had installed the H60-L02 rom (version H60-L02V100R001CHNC00B611).
How can I install the H60-L12 version?
I've already tried to install these 5 ROMS:
H60-L12_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B307
H60-L12_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B611
H60-L12-4-4-V100R001CHNC00B118-unicom-32g
H60-L12-4-4-V100R001CHNC00B119-High-unicom
H60-L12-V100R001CHNC00B121
But I always get the error "Software Install Failed!" with the volume + & - & power method.
Also tried with the *#*#2846579#*#* and didn't worked as well.
Tried to install different stock versions and nothing.
What should I do more?
Regards,
Luis

Hi, yes I did. I wrote the way here (in german)

From huawei club forum, which posted by Chinese, they provided a "middle package" for H60-L02/L12, L01/L03/L11/L21:
Link for refer: http://club.huawei.com/thread-4744481-1-1.html
中转包地址如下：
荣耀6移动版（H60-L01/L03/L11/L21）
荣耀6联通版（H60-L02/L12）
We have to download it, then do upgrade it first before upgrade ROM version.
P/S: If you cannot extract it, may need rename it from chinese name to latin letter.
If need assist in Chinese word, let me know.
Hope this help.

Hi all, I'm new of the forum, and this seems to be exactly the same issue I'm having.
I had to buy a replacement for my H60-L12 and I decided to buy a new one, so I went to the same store and I ordered the same phone.
When it arrived, the label indicate H60-L12, bon on the box and on the back of the phone. But when I switched on, the model name and the serial number indicated the H60-L02.
What is really strange is that, according to what I have been seeing on technical specification on internet, the L02 should have 16GB di memory, while this one has 32GB.
Do you have any idea if it is possible to verify from the IMEI what is the real model of the phone and if it is possible that a L02 firmware version was installed on a L12? I have the B316, I have tried to dowload the B316 for the L12 and put it on the dload folder, then local update, but it fails (probabily because it is the same version?).
I have download the H60-L02/L12 file indicated in the previous post, but it is very small. Is it ok?
After I have installed it using the local update procedure, what should I do?
Thanks!
I will share my experience with this issue.
As it turned out, my L12 was flashed with the wrong firmware and seens as a L02.
No way to restore the correct version with any more or less standard procedure (not even copying the built and prop files from the L12, the upgrad was always failing).
So, for future reference, what I did was:
- use the unbrick function to load a EMUI2.3 version of the firmware (at this point the phone was almost unusable because everything was crashing)
- copied the L12 B316 on the SD in dload directory
- installed using the three button procedure
The upgrade was correctly executed and now everything is working fine.
In case someone was wondering why I didn't use the unbrick function to load the L12 B316, the answer is: I did it, but it was not working. As I said, it seems that the unbrick function leaves a lot of the previous installation behind, and despite the load of the B313 (yes, I tried the 313 to be able to update then to 316 with the complete update package and have a clean installation), the update package was downloaded but not installed, always giving error. Same with the three button procedure.
So, the only way I found has been to revert to 2.3 and then apply the update.
Now I would like to know who flashed the L02 on my L12 and made me loose four days

drm/widevine.zip patches for ab is not needed to flash?
I didn't have time to look if it was necessary. The patch is only needed if the version of emui9 you are using has a preavs partition. You can see it if you capture a logcat log with adb. If so I would make a drm patch with the correct version of the drm files for stf-l09
I have finally had the chance to fully implement it, and I'm here to give you the feedback!
Generally speaking, it can be considered a stable build and can be used on your main device. However, there's always room for improvement and the following areas should be revised:
1- The included "Android System WebView" is too old to work, rendering synchronizing with Google accounts impossible. The workaround is easy, however, as the updated versions can be downloaded from the Play store. The same applies to: "Phone", "Contacts", "Messaging" and "Browser" apps.
2- The "Search" box in the Home screen is impossible to remove.
3- The "Navigation bar inverse" option in "Phh Treble Settings -> Misc features" doesn't work, even after re-selecting navbar mode, as specified.
4- The "Adaptive Brightness" option results in more brightness than needed, where it has to be manually lowered. The cause might be related to incorrect readings from the phone's sensors, on the software side.
5- Not a problem, but rather a suggestion: More customizations in general, and in the "Status bar" specifically, can make the ROM more appealing.
Additionally, the instructions above for flashing the ROM are good enough, but it's worth adding that the bootloader of the target phone has to be unlocked first The instructions to achieve that are likely included in the "Honor 9 Guides, News, & Discussion" forum.
Keep up the great work

Yep, that's what I did.
However, the small downside to that is the extra memory usage. Besides that, no launcher really bests the baked-in one in smoothness, but again, that's minor.

Sadly I still didn't managed to do it... I can't downgrade from android 9 to 8 :/ In the past i had that option, but now it's just gone...
I tried dload method with SDCard, but it fails every time. I guess that dload method only works to upgrade and not to downgrade?
If you have some tips to help me downgrade it let me know please
Hello AltairFR,
I've got a Honor 9 in quite good state, and I wanted to upgrade it to most current version before using it (I'm no real geek, set up and then "never touch a running system" is rather me).
I started with unlocking bootloader with DC-unlocker, successfully.
I installed and used adb and fastboot utils.
Then I attempted to install TWRP according to this manual https://romprovider.com/honor-9-dev-support/
As far as I understand, the trick consists of two parts, 1) proper version of TWRP (not easy to find one for Honor 9!), and 2) patched kernel to avoid restore of stock recovery, so TWRP persists.
Unfortunately I failed. After I performed all the steps, the phone got to a bootloop (booted, restarted, booted, restarted, ...)
That version of TWRP never started, it just showed the logo and hung. Patched kernel was no success either because
stock recovery is back. The only way I can resurrect TWRP is to perform factory reset in stock recovery. Then next start is TWRP, and afterwards again just bootloop and stock recovery.
Then I found and installed a working version of TWRP here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-ish-twrp-3-2-1-for-honor-9-running-gsi-8-1-roms.3818442/
Then I attempted Android 10 according to https://theupgradeguide.com/install-android-10-on-honor-9-aosp-gsi-treble-rom-how-to-guide/
This was most successful attempt so far, except it was only installed w/o GApps and Antroid reported "There is an internal problem in your device. Please contact your manufacturer." <- not really useable.
Then I tried your Android 13 build. I installed it the way you recommend (fastboot). I got "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" and something about "device reported max upload size of" about 400MB. Nevertheless, it completed kind of successfully. But this Android never started up. It's starting and then reboots. Both with GApps and without.
I assumed the reason could be that patched Kernel I installed at the beginning. I inspected my versions with "Multi-Tool for Huawei and Honor" and found Firmware version = STF-L09 8.0.0.368(C432) Your prerequisites are
ROM Kernel: Stock kernelROM Firmware Required: EMUI 9.1My EMUI is not reported by "Multi-Tool" at all, although in the video guide it's shown. (Perhaps because I don't have any EMUI at all anymore. As far as I understood, it's a Huawei version of "look-and-feel" on Android).
So now my question, how did you manage to get EMUI 9.1 ?
I searched for stock firmware to restore my phone to at least original state. I found https://huaweistockrom.com/honor-9-stf-l09 which refers to EMUI 9.1 in file name Huawei_Honor_9_STF-L09_9.1.0.210_C43 ... .0.0_R3_EMUI9.1.0_05014NMA_Dload.zip
But the free download site is not available, and it's a bit risky to go for paid one without knowing the archive file contains what it sais.
Hence my question, how did you manage to get your EMUI 9.1 ? My pretty much last hope is, if I get to that version of stock software then your Android 13 build hopefully installs successfully too.
Thank you in advance.
Hello. I think you've complicated yourself. The procedure is much simpler, you just need to flash the right twrp and then install LeaOS. I look on my stf the version of emui that I have. I will answer you later

Thank you, I found the site in the meantime. The latest version there is C432B130 while mine is B368. (Is it the reason why patched Kernel B366 silently failed to install?..)

I'm too far away from HiSuite yet.
I managed to start installation of stock firmware from SD card. "Installing EMUI" after 5% progress breaks with "Software install failed, reboot system now" :-/
In TWRP file manager I see a couple of directories were created on SD card [perhaps by installation routine, who else] with "android" in their names, and a couple of files. Just a couple of, not more.

Btw have a question about device. I have bootloader unlocked years ago now, i had code but lost in a virus attack. Found that potato method that worked for honor 8. My question is if i flash those service firmwares to oreo or pie bootloader will relock? In 8 it did. Is there any way to flash oreo and pie roms without having to flash firmwares? If the only way is test point to get unlock code i'll do that when battery will die or smth like that.
