Huawei Mate 8 Update went wrong

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

Android 11 is downloading

Android 11 update is downloading and installing as I write this. US model. North American Retail channel.
Just sharing.

My TMO model is also getting notification for the 11 update.... but not taking it. I don't want it to kill Android Auto on my phone.

I'm not sure if it's 11 or 12 (I know 12 does for sure) that breaks AA on phone, but I'm not taking any chances - one of them or both do. This Ace is the only phone I have left with 10.

I'm having a problem with this ota update of my unrooted phone to android 11. It seems stuck at step 3 of 6.
I've seen the update process go as far as 66% of step 3 of 6 several times only for it to restart step 3 again and again. Something does not allow it to complete installing step 3. Internet has been available throughout.
Any suggestions? Is there another way to update?

Researching the web for why the android 11 is not installing on my phone I discovered all the bugs that the moto android 11 update apparently introduces. So I guess I'm lucky the update did not take. I turned off smart updates and will wait to see if and when Moto will get its act together.

It will probably show by now (3 days later). I had the same thing after an unintentional upgrade to 11, but that cleared after only a day when I connected to the Internet again. But apparently the typical wait time is 3 days. (EDIT/ADD) If it still isn't showing, try a reboot.
FYI (all), this phone CAN be downgraded back to Android 10 -- with an UNLOCKED bootloader only. I posted my experience in this Q&A section -- by accident (oops!) so it might get moved at any time to Guides, News and Discussion. Thus I won't post a link here because it might change. If you decide you want to downgrade just look for "Downgrading Motorola One 5G Ace".

I guess I was lucky the ota 'upgrade' to 11 got stuck on step 3.
Android 10 works fine for me except for random reboots. If I find a solution for that all would be well.

Question OnePlus 9 cannot update from 2113_11_C.60

Hi all,
I have a weird issue - I have updated my OnePlus 9 EU last year over Oxygen Updater, but managed to install India-only update on EU phone and now in settings it shows 2113_11_C.60.
After scouring internet I found that C.60 was India only update.
Now, I haven't received a single auto update since May 2022.
I have tried downloading incrimental updates to C.62 both for 2113 and 2111, but neither local upgrade nor special oneplus app was not able to update.
Also tried full install of C.62, no success.
Even tried full upgrade to latest EU build LE2113_11_F.75 - same result..
The local upgrade through settings constantly shows "verification failed" no matter what file I choose.
OP's System Update app would fail after showing system updating for a minute, with 0% progress.
As I understand, I somehow managed to install Indian version of incrimental update on EU phone, but now I am stuck on it.
What are other reinstall options on OnePlus 9?
Can I somehow force install if I connect over PC?
Many thanks for the help!
EDIT:
Forgot to attach screenshots...

Index of /list/Unbrick_Tools
Find the one compatible for your device whatever stock would be and run the msm recovery tool. This will get you back where you need to be to be able to update to latest software.

Otherwise you can try editing the file payload_properties.txt inside the update zip and changing oplus_update_engine_verify_disable to 1. This way your phone should skip the verification process entirely. Keep in mind that this could still result into bricking your phone because of this unintended update path but since the alternative would be using MSM tool why not trying anyway.

Question Rooted ROG 5 doesn't update to latest firmware (31/05/23)

So I downloaded the latest firmware image (WW-31.0810.1226.154-1.1.213-2303) and copied it to the root of the phone and rebooted, but instead of detecting the update file as usual and prompting to update, nothing happened. Phone currently has the last month's update to Android 13 (WW-33.0210.0210.200) and is rooted/bootloader unlocked.
Is the current month update meant for Android 12 only? Now I notice the version number is less than the one I have, and the changelog just says it has the Google security patch for May.
