So you wanted to go Nougat or Twisted? If you want to go for Nougat. I suggest you use TWRP 3.0.2 (Nougat).
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Format data
3. Advance Wipe (Dalvik, Cache, Data & System)
4. Reboot to Recovery (Optional)
5. Install update_data.zip (Do not reboot)
6. Install update.zip (Do not reboot)
7. If you want to root your phone. You can install at this step.
8. Install TWRP 3.0.2-Nougat (You need to install this again because update.zip will replace it with stock recovery)
9. Reboot to System.
10. Wait for few minutes (5-10mins)
That's all.

Don't worry. I'm just wanted to be sure you did the right way. Your original region is L29C185?
What you can do next is to downgrade it to B180(EMUI4) first via dload and check your build number if is NXT-L29C185B180. Search the thread on downgrade method using rollback update.app (EMUI5 to EMUI4)
Tell me the result later.

You need to rollback first.
HUAWEI Mate8 Rollback Package (NXT-L29, from EMUI5.0+Android7.0 rollback to EMUI4.0)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate8-rollback-package-nxt-l29-t3498256
Then only you can downgrade to B180. Once you have dload B180. Do factory reset (Press Volume Up + Power). You'll be fine.
If your build number is NXT-L29C185B180 after installing B180 then redo the steps of installing Nougat. Just follow my previous steps.
I have been trying to revert to stock with no luck. What I want to do is install the latest update, but I can't because I had twrp installed. I flashed the original recovery. The problem is when I try to use eRecovery I get "Getting package info failed" error. when I try to download the b385 full update for the FRD-L04 I get a dead link. I was able to download the rollback package, but will I be able to get back to the latest version after I install the rollback package? when I try to use other update packages for my phone I get "Incompatibility with current version" error. Do I need to lock my bootloader in order to update? The good news is that my phone works fine, bad news is that I can't up date.
build number: FRD-L04C567B385

Thanks for the link, I just been to heck and back with this phone. first I uninstalled Magisk. After that my phone wouldn't boot, it would just hang on the blue screen after the initial boot screen. I tried to find a stock boot Image for my version. Once I installed that my phone would boot loop so I managed to get into fastboot and flash TWRP. Once in TWRP I restored my B360 backup and got my phone working again. Then I flashed the stock recovery. Tried to boot into the stock recovery but that wouldn't load. Some how I got it to install the rollback package and now i'm at version B300. Good news is I'm back to stock and can boot int the stock recovery. Time to see if I can update to the latest version.
Edit I think I might have a problem. It won't let me update also it shows my phone as "FRD-L04C900" not "FRD-L04C567" is there any way I can fix this?

I think you will have to restore you oeminfo partition backup through twrp.
On mr FRD-L09, I had to relock my bootloader, then get the rollback package and put the .app on my SD card and hard flash it, then do the same with the rom .app file. Thet got me back to stock marshamllow, and I just let all the updates run through until I'm now on the latest.
Stock is missing some bits, and has some irritations, but the camera is sooo much better than custom roms, and GPS works, as does Android Pay etc. I've not bothered rooting, AdGuard does the ad-blocking and the rest is liveable.
Well I think I'm my phone is screwed. I can't boot into recovery and when it boots it bootloops once and then it is stuck on the "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted. Fastboot still works fine I can lock and unlock the bootloader. I can flash Recovery and TWRP in Fastboot but neither one will boot. I think I might have flashed the wrong update or it happened when I flashed the rollback package. I want to try DC Phoenix but they won't let me buy credits because my PayPal account is unverified. I have downloaded the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" from the hihonor.com site. I extracted it and flashed the recovery, boot, and system image through fastboot. The phone still won't boot into recovery or boot into the OS. Is there a way to fix this or is it time for a new phone.
Thank you everybody for your help.
Ok my phone is fixed. What I did was buy 15 credits for DC Phoenix and flashed the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" package. When I rebooted my phone it automatically went into ERecovery and downloaded and installed the B162 update. I was able to fully boot after that It updated to B360 and then B388.
Thank you everybody for your help.

How did you flash the file you mentioned above? Did you put it on the SD card and used TWRP?
Also, what is so special about that file?
I have the L14 (64gb US version) and just about the same exact problem you describe.
If you have any extra steps that would help me recover mine that would be great.

I followed the instuctions for the honor 7. I would recommend finding the full update firmware for your phone. It took me a lot of googling to find it. Make sure it is the correct firmware, you need to match the numbers before the B-- for me it was (FRD-L04C567) and for you it would be (FRD-L14????) I hope this helps.

After you flash the firmware, you must format data with emui recovery, and it will boot up
After trying different methods, this one works
Download
1 .Honor 8_FRD-L04_Rollback_Package_from_Android7.0 to Android 6.0_C900B300
2. Honor_8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android_6.0_EMUI-4.1_C567B122_United_States_Nonspecific
Put on dload (sd card) #1 after shutdown the phone and put on the folder dload (Sd card) #2. after reboot your phone starts with android 6.0
Try this

Ok so i had the exact problem, im not sure if this will help but what I did was flash my cust recovery system and boot through bootloader, I then put the dload folder on my sdcard with the update.app in it, from there I put my phone into download mode so hold all 3 buttons until it goes into download mode. Once there it will automatically install the update.app, and you should be good to go. If not than go to recovery mode do a factory reset and wipe the cache and see if that works.
Hello! So I tried flashing a custom ROM to my friends Honor 8 after reading around a bit and such but it ultimately failed and now we're trying to get it back to the default ROM. We found a ROM download but it was for the version FRD-l09C900B120 which was running EMUI4.0 and Android 6.0. I also read that the "C" version he has doesn't receive any further updates, I'm failing to find anything on the correct "C" version anywhere. If anyone could guide me through the installation process for the correct and latest firmware it would be great!
On another note, the build in eRecovery doesn't seem to want to install the update package. It always fails pretty early on after connecting to WiFi, any fix for that would be great. Thanks!
Thanks for any help!
On which ROM was the custom ROM based? You should try to flash the rollback package with dload method and then flash B120 or another EMUI 4.X ROM with same method

The custom ROM was Linageos 14.1, so it wasn't anything EMUI based.
I'm gonna try and manually flash the ROM from an update.app that we downloaded from the app Firmware Finder.

We did not make a twrp backup (In hindsight we should've....)
We don't have twrp on it right not but can be fixed if needed.
We were on the latest update available to the phone which should be latest today as well. (OTA)
Flashing it manually made the phone enter a bootloop. It didn't even start the firmware. Any suggestions?
EDIT: We got into Fastboot. What are our options?
Right now your best option in my opinion is to flash Boot.img, recovery.img,cust.img and system.img that you will extract from the UPDATE.APP of your CURRENT Rom. Then just try the dload method again and again, it may not accept the firmware you try to flash but in this case just try another, but not a lower one because you need the rollback package to do that

What should we do after we've flashed TWRP? When I tried flashing LineageOS 14 it decided to fail the installation somehow and be at an endless boot animation. So I'd like to get the phone restored to EMUI5.0.

Well currently there's a broken firmware on it of FRD-L09C432B943... Or something like that.
I think at this point he's looking at getting a new phone all together.
No matter if the firmware inside isn't working properly, with fastboot you can manually flash each partition that is needed as long as USB debugging is enabled and bootloader unlocked. After flashing these cleans parts you can properly use the dload method , and if you get an error using dload method can you tell me which one is it? At least the device behavior.
I have to sleep, I'll be right back on the morning hope you'll make it this night , if don't , please be more specific and accurate when you describe the errors you faced, that way we will be more efficient when answering

If you flash LineageOS on a phone without OS it won't work just because LineageOS patch the current installed System, if there is no system there is no way it will boot

I get that now and I know how to proceed in the future.
On another note, I got a good UPDATE.APP available but it refuses to install using the dload method because the versions are different. Does anyone know which partition the USERDATA.img file goes to?
You don't have to flash each single partition but dude in my opinion it's better to flash the whole UPDATE.APP, just use the rollback package and flash a lower EMUI.
Another thing: I'm currently on honor official site and I can download firmwares, you're searching in the wrong place.

Is possible add root to original rom? I have last nougat whit root and trv recovery. Is possible flash rom oreo .zip whith root integrate.
No you need to flash it white stock recovery
@magicozero
Do you have the ze552kl or the ze520? I can try to do it for the ze552 since I have that model.
@Rasque
If you can flash with stock recovery, you can flash with twrp. It has been discussed many times, and I flashed Oreo with twrp so I am speaking from personal experience.

what do you mean by "put room"? If you don't want to unlock your boot loader, you can still flash the stock unmodified rom through stock recovery.
If you don't want to unlock, you can try booting (not flashing) twrp through fastboot and then flash magisk. I've never tried it so I'm not sure if it'll work.
this rom can be flashed by twrp???

Yes, you can flash it with twrp. Edit the updater script, it works fine. I don't think I've ever used the stock recovery to flash anything, went straight to twrp and never looked back.

Yes, you can. No need to edit script or anything but before reboot you need to flash magisk or it wont boot.
You don't need any kind of recovery to install this update. Just download the rom file from asus website, put it in the main folder of your zenfone3 (remember the main folder, not the downloads. if you download the update from your phone it will directly go to downloads folder, so you have to move the update file to main folder) and in couple of seconds you will get a notification that says new update found. And it will update itself. You don't have to flash anything with any kind of recovery.
Only thing to pay attention is when you are downloading the update from official website which is HERE choose the World Wide (WW) version.

Hi guys,
I tried to update my Bln-l21 from emui 5 (nougat) to emui 8 (oreo) using the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
It worked so I went on to install TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079, as suggested in a comment on the guide.
Only then I realized that in order to install Gapps I needed GSM installer, so I downloaded it, but it didn't work because it loaded TWRP instead of the stock erecovery.
I started to panic real bad
I tried reinstalling the firmware using hwota8 (since i had upgraded i figured i had to use that), but it completely destroyed my phone.
Now it wont boot, recovery wont boot and neither erecovery. I can only get it to enter fastboot.
I know, I am a total noob, but PLEASE help me out on this, i'm desperate.
Thank you so much
If you can enter into fastboot, just install twrp, boot into twrp and flash the ROM using HuRUpdater. Use your external storage for the HuRUpdater and the ROM files. The instructions are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Before flashing through Hurupdater wipe system Cache Data Internal and Dalvik/ART Cache.

Thank you for the answer, I was able to boot in TWRP (the one in the original post) and I downloaded Huru, but I'm unsure of which firmware to use. I want to downgrade back to nougat and rebrand back to europe (since the guide in the original post made me change to china).
Thank you again
Just use China and then install a custom ROM

Just use the original files you used in the first place. The ones you downloaded from the thread. In terms of a custom ROM there is a thread in Custom ROMS section for Pixys OS. Just search stable Pie ROM for Honor 6x and install it. It's very smooth, etc.
This is a EMUI 8 ROM. If you want to go back to EMUI 5 don't use this. This will only restore EMUI 8. After that flash Custom ROM Don't go back to EMUI 5

Hi, I successfully flashed with Hurupdater and I'm going trough the installation of the pixys rom. The guide says that i need to flash the stock recovery for my device, where can I find it?
Can I pull it from the firmware I used for Huru? If that's the case, how?
Thank you again
I do have instructions over there but cause you asked I will tell.
Extract the Update.zip the large file. In it you will have an Update.app. Now serach for Huawei Update Extractor on XDA and Download it. Run the application and navigate to Update.app. Select it and in settings of Extractor uncheck the first option. Now extract Recovery_Ramdis.img and flash it. Luck.

Thank you so much! Now the phone is working again, I'm only having trouble flashing magisk (it doesn't show up among the apps) but i guess i can live without it for now...
Have you got a paypal or something? I wanna buy you a coffe, it seems the least I can do to repay your kindness and patience!

Really there is no need for that. I did what anyone would do. Your thanks is enough.
Can you tell me what version you flashed. What TWRP did you use and what was the message after flashing.Now regarding Magisk, I am gonna assume you flashed the ZIP and the Magisk Manager app didn't show up, correct? To solve that just download Magisk Manager v6.0.1 and install the apk.
If that's not the issue then download any Root Checker app to see if device is rooted. Although I guess you need Magisk Manager to validate Root access. So just install Magisk Manager and let me know what it says. If it says device is unrooted then you probably need to flash Magisk again.
P.S: I don't have a PayPal. Not yet available in my country.

I really appreciate your kindness,
I flashed the latest version of magisk available from the official thread using the same TWRP from before (king of mezi TWRP from elemental rom thread) and it looked fine... Yes, the app didn't show up, I will try with the manager and I'll let you know.
[edit] I installed the manager and turns out it actually worked the first time and I'm already rooted!
Thank you again, you've been wonderful!
Glad to help.
