Huawei Update.app Edit - Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm thinking of editing the Marshmallow Update for Huawei G7-L01.
I have tried unpacking it with Huawei Update Extractor and replacing a TWRP custom recovery with the default recovery.img file. Will the new update file work after repacking it???

No, it will not work, unfortuntely. The update.app has signature checks before installing, and when the signature does not match, it will fail immediately when trying to install the update.app. I've tried many times before, lol

Are you Still on it or have you tried it out?

Assuming your post was meant for me I am still on marshmallow B510 at the moment. I have tried editing an update.app file before, many times, and each time the update.app file fails at 0% when trying to update, since the security check fails.
I have tried different variations of the Repack settings, and each variation failed. If you are able to create an update.app file with the same security key as the original, then maybe it can work, but I know of only one person (from personal experience), who was able to create an update.app file successfully, but that was with the Huawei P6-U06.

Oh man i want Marshmallow so Bad but i have The European G7 which like seems Huawei doesn't give a s***t about it! I am Currently still on B340(Lollipop 5.1)
I don't understand this all G7 are equally the Same... They probably only need to change few properties in the Firmware but Nope...

Yes, it's really a shame, because feature-wise, Marshmallow is really great, but performance wise, it needs to be improved. I don't think there will be anymore updates for the C185 version, so there won't be bug fixes. If there are, it will be a miracle.
I'd suggest complaining on all Huawei platforms, Twitter, Facebook, and get as many people to complain as well. Hopefully they'll release the EU marshmallow. :good:

Dload fails, AL10 device is NRD90M test-keys. Solution.

Does your MATE 8 Chinese no longer make the EMUI 5.0 donwgrade? In the system information, does it appear as NRD90M test-keys? Simple, but a detail that goes unnoticed. The files that have been circulated to any MATE 8, including international ones, have two ZIPs, one with the UPDATE of the system and one usually with that name, "update_data_full_all_cn.zip". This file can serve in the international, but not in the AL10 that become NRD90M, for these, it has to be a file with that name, "update_data_full_dualcu_cn.zip". Download, unzip and dload with its UPDATE.APP, its AL10, to be recognized again by the system. Now back with a NXT-DL00C17B523, running themes, playstore, magazine ... etc ...

Well, recovery has to be working. If your bootloader is unlocked, use the fastboot to send the recovery of your rom where you are trapped, you will probably have access. The command is...
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If your device is a DL00, you have to extract the zip and use UPDATE.APP from it on your dload in sd card.
can someone send me the real link for NXT-l29?

Honor India - RAM Management and VoLTE bug fix update (B370)

Honor India released an update today for its KIW-L22 - B370.
Link - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v67983/f1/full/update.zip
This update consists of
1. VoLTE bug fixes
2. RAM Management improvements.
3. Android Security Patches
How to update?
Prerequisites: You should be in the B360 in order to update this one.
Note: B360 was causing the bootloop for custom ROM. Since this is built over that this might also cause Bootloop.
So have a TWRP backup before updating to this one too.
This update can be flashed via TWRP. Forced update won't work.
You can update by following steps by @gopinaidu77 here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-force-installing-stock-ota-t3502874
But you need to be Rooted for it.

I have tried with update.zip earlier in my Honor 7. So Update.zip works as per my knowledge.
However I'm not sure, as I have not tried it for this one Since I don't have KIW-L22.
I have KIW-L23 which is stuck at EMUI 3.

I don't have Honor 5X (Kiw-L22) to verify it. You must wait for the OTA.
You can flash this update via TWRP.

Remember to replace all FRD version with your KIW version and its appropriate build No and links.
Is this official? because I couldn't find anything on Honor official sites
Link not working

[For FRD-L14 Users] Here is how to restore/downgrade to EMUI 4.1/MM Build

So, just like others I have been itching to install the Nougat beta and boy what a ride I had. I used the Charles method and installed the beta successfully. While install was great, the software was not. I had several things missing and It did not go well.
First and foremost, beta is ONLY for FRD-L04 models which is the US 32GB single sim version and NOT for the FRD-L14 64GB models. The beta build really screwed up my phone and I had to downgrade to official MM build. The software doesn't really tell there is a mismatch in the model as technically they are the same specs except for the storage.
To downgrade, I read this thread and then downloaded and restored from the image from the Honor 8 downloads page. Restored to MM successfully but guess what, my model number showed FRD-L04 and not FRD-L14. This was a problem. Why? Well, it turns out when you set up Android Pay, it clearly tells that I am running a custom ROM. While all day to day function work right, you are still running a custom rom as you are not running the software for FRD-L14.
Honor 8 site does not have the restore image in their downloads page. I called their support and they acknowledged that the restore image available is not for FRD-L14. They are working on it to see why they don't have this image available for download.
So, how do you restore?
Thanks to this thread, I was able to get the full image. Below are the links:
1. update.zip
2. update_data_full_hw_usa.zip (only if you need the bloat)
Download those and flash them from SD card as described in this thread. That will get you the MM build. Below is the build number you should be if you are in MM:
- FRD-L14C567B162
Hope tha helps.
@digitalbreak
Although your post is very informative your missing some key elements.
Where is your Rollback Update.app zip ?
The correct way to restore MM from Nougat is to flash rollback and then your last full update.zip (B162 ?)
you could try the one for the L04 here >> http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92098&version=360320&siteCode=us
the link you posted to FRD-L04, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C567B122 is useless and just makes it confusing
Also flashing the update_data_full_hw_usa.zip is how you update the /cust partition
that's where your Local.prop is stored and that's where your phone gets the information displayed in the Settings / About screens.
So if you had not previously changed the /cust their would be no need to flash it again after the Full update.app is flashed.
You would be able to tell this if your Settings/About screens are wrong after the flash.
Also you state that using the Charles method did not go well ? That's really not possible, because this method downloads the files directly from Huawei servers
and the update is the same as if the OTA were pushed to your phone. Only real way to mess that up is to input the wrong response in Charles App and download the wrong update. If you had linked the correct FRD-L14C567B360 file in Charles you would have had no problems.
Bottom line
If your on Nougat Beta and you want to return to MM
you simply dload flash the Rollback and then the Full B162
and you should be back to stock. If Settings / About is incorrect
dload flash the update.app inside the update_data_full_hw_usa.zip
And just for reference here are all the files available for you phone >> http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=frd-L14
And to get the correct update_data_full_hw_usa.zip for each version
just edit the update.zip download link
Code:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v72029/f1/full/update.zip
to http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v72029/f1/full/[COLOR="Red"]hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip[/COLOR]

Unfortunately that doesn't help for FRD-L14, at least for me as it didnt succeed. I tried the included manual step by step but it did not restore to MM.

If I am not wrong, when you use Charles method and download the update, it applies those and hence since I had pulled L04 update into my L14, the /cust was changed by the OTA.

In the sense that I had pulled the update for the wrong model. It was hard to find that the beta program was only for FRD-L04 and not for FRD-L14. And that thread is so long it is difficult to even guess that if you are a newcomer.

In theory yes and works well for FRD-L04. I couldnt find the builds in Honor's web site for FRD-L14. Getting to know the servers from other methods is OK, but thats not how most customers do. We geeks do that

I can do the rollback but I just realized that I have the 64GB version which is the FRD-L14
http://www.phonemore.com/huawei-honor-8/models/629
I'm not sure if there is a FRD-L14(64GB) variant of the MM firmware available anywhere. If so, I'm not aware of the link of the site to find it. Secondly, if I do install the FRD-L04(32GB) variant of the MM firmware would that create problems for the phone in upgrading and later trying to root and install custom ROM etc.
Much Thanks
Installing the FDR-L04 image on FDR-L14 will tell Google that you are using an unidentified or a custom ROM version. That will limit certain services/apps like for example Android Pay and even sometimes updater to work. Android Pay certainly didn't work for me. Some say its just a file that contains the hardware info that needs to change while the rest are the same, but I have had no luck with that approach.

When you rolled back your L14, do you have service like Android Pay? I really want to roll-back since Nougat/EMUI5 have been terrible on battery life. Is it "legitimately" L14 with the 64GB storage?

Are you talking about the rollback package here? Is this the same rollback for the L14? The description says it's for L04. http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92098
How do I flash this rollback image and in what order compared to UPDATE.APP?

I had an issue with this yesterday too.
If you still have access to TWRP, try deleting the data partition too. I think that sets it to a test mode than you can then downgrade.
From there I used the dload method to flash the rollback package, and then I flashed a full MM package.
I really wish Huawei would release a damn full Nougat image so we didn't have to do this each time (unless you really want to go back to MM)

I downloaded the rollback image except the instruction mentions L04. Is okay to install this rollback image on the L14 with 64GB? My phone was never part of Nougat beta and I don't have root. Never installed TWRP.
I just want to go back to MM because Nougat on my L14 has been a disaster on battery life. It also caused my audio to skip especially spotify when stream to bluetooth and I try to use the Internet.

Yup. Like I said, same issue. I have the L14 and that package is only for the L04.
I flashed it and seemed ok. Although I still think that wiping the data partition maybe had something to do with it.
Good luck either way!
I want to downgrade myself but don't want to mess up my phone. Huawei is really stupid of just putting the downgrade package only for the 32gb version of the phone.
Rollback image is Ok but don't download the full image as that is the one tied to L04.
I chatted with Honor support twice to give us a L14 image and they haven't done it yet. I would really ask you guys to do the same if you can as that will put pressure on them.

I have good news. The rollback image for L04 worked fine on my L14. After flashing that, I was able to install the actual update from your link. My phone is still identified as L14 and the 64GB is intact. My Android Pay is fully functional. Thank you very much.
Glad it worked for you!

I have the L14 64GB version and the downgrade was actually flawless. You will need to download the main update file per OP and also download the rollback image for the L04 from my prior post. It's a compressed RAR file so you can use 7zip to decompress. Ignore the instruction inside the file. My rollback went without a hitch but my phone is not rooted and no TWRP installed. Everything is stock so YMMV.
Create a folder "dload" in your micro SD card and copy in the UPDATE.APP from the rollback image. This file is about 67 MB.
Turn-off the phone.
Press Vol+, Vol-, and Power Button simultaneously until it turns on. Keep them all pressed until you see the update screen. You can release the buttons when you see them. The rollback image takes about 30-60 seconds to complete. The phone will reboot when completed.
The phone will restart back into Android. Turn-off the phone and remove the micro SD card.
Delete UPDATE.APP rollback image (67 MB) from folder dload.
Copy the UPDATE.APP file from the L14 image into dload. The file is about 3 GB after decompression.
Re-insert micro SD into phone and restart per step # 3.
The update screen will appear and it'll start to install the L14 image.
I believe it'll auto restart after completion (don't remember). The entire process should take 5-10 minutes.
Congratulations!!! Now you are back to MM.

I have the L14 64GB version and the downgrade was actually flawless. You will need to download the main update file per OP and also download the rollback image for the L04 from my prior post. It's a compressed RAR file so you can use 7zip to decompress. Ignore the instruction inside the file. My rollback went without a hitch but my phone is not rooted and no TWRP installed. Everything is stock so YMMV.
Create a folder "dload" in your micro SD card and copy in the UPDATE.APP from the rollback image. This file is about 67 MB.
Turn-off the phone.
Press Vol+, Vol-, and Power Button simultaneously until it turns on. Keep them all pressed until you see the update screen. You can release the buttons when you see them. The rollback image takes about 30-60 seconds to complete. The phone will reboot when completed.
The phone will restart back into Android. Turn-off the phone and remove the micro SD card.
Delete UPDATE.APP rollback image (67 MB) from folder dload.
Copy the UPDATE.APP file from the L14 image into dload. The file is about 3 GB after decompression.

I did follow your steps, but my keyboard has now vanished when the set up screen appears. It only shows google voice and I'm having trouble setting up my phone. Has anyone had the same problem. What can I do to get my keyboard back?
Note: my phone is unrooted. Not sure if that makes a difference

Sorry to bring this thread up again... I just followed this and got to B162 (L04), but my device is L14.
How can I start updating towards B385 for L14?
Anyone have any step by step instructions?

You need to make sure that the full update image (3GB) is already for the L14 version and not the L04.
In the second post in this thread there is a link to all the current L14 packages. In the list locate the one that has the version B162 and download it. Extract the UPDATE.APP and use that as the MM package for your specific phone.
Just FYI, the rollback image is branded for L04, however at that point it's only preparing the phone to allow to receive a update package that is of lower version than what you currently have (going from N back to MM). So even though you have the 64GB L14 version the roll back image will work regardless.
Once you are back to MM and your device is recognized as L14 once again, it should start taking OTA updates. This will get you back to stock N.

Honor 8 FRD-L04 B385 update?

I just randomly went to firmware finder to refresh and found a new update for the FRD-L04, did anyone attempt to install this yet?
EDIT: I tried to install it through firmware finder and it didn't pass the verification at the end

I have downloaded the 3 zips in this update and verified the md5 they are all good if someone figures out how to install this

Top right download full update it'll download once you hit that and remove the proxy but it won't get authorized when you go to install it.
Well the good news I see out of this even if we cannot install is that the update is finally coming after 2 months of the other versions enjoying it for that long. Hopefully it fixes the battery drain.

Thanks for the find! Your file sizes are off unfortunately, they should be:

622MB - update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip
1.3GB - update.zip
Here are the correct files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0zE1Kk8sIB6M2R4QUVsN3JBOGs

So the 622mb update file is the correct B385 update file? Can i push it to the phone via adb? Or what's the best way to install it??

Likely you'd push both update.zip and the region specific zip to where the stock recovery is expecting, then from a powered-off state use the key combinations to force-udpate. I'm unsure why there are 3 zips this time though since B360 was only 2 zips, I haven't had time yet to look at the contents.

In theory, we could also just extract the recovery.img, system.img and vendor.img and flash via fastboot.....or no? I know that's generally the way I've flashed things on my Shield TV

Just tried that too, boot, recovery, and system will flash but vendor fails. When I load to the system it still shows B360 but certain parts of the OS don't work -- can't access Developer Options, for example. It seems as if this package just doesn't work right.
Update: If anybody else wants to attempt it, remove all PIN/password protection first. I had to factory reset.

Of note is that the 72309 firmware (B360) zips can be flashed from TWRP with no issue. This zip however fails to install.
Things I tried which failed:
Unpacking UPDATE.APP and force-updating from /external_sd/dload/ folder
Flashing extracted images from bootloader*
Modifying updater-script and flashing in TWRP (mountencrypt was throwing an error, others too)
Updating updater-script and update-binary and flashing in TWRP (same errors)
Flashing images from bootloader, boot and system worked but vendor failed, but the device did boot. It didn't, however, show the new software version -- but that may be because the software version is read from the vendor partition which wouldn't flash. In any event, flashing this way the device was unstable. I couldn't set a screen PIN and Developer Options would crash the Settings menu when I attempted to access it.
Someone more skilled than me would need to extract the contents of all 3 zips and make one TWRP-flashable zip.

You updated to Oreo, correct. Of course you did.
The update.zip has inside (extract it) update.app. use heawei update extractor to extract that file. You will get the system.img there. That one will be the correct one for your model and build number.
If yo I updated from regular ota, you may not have this zip file
If this the case you. Will need to download it. From pro-teammt.ru

Downgrading to Nougat is not recommended, because EMUI 8 is Treble supported.
That means it has dozens of new partitions and partition lengths. Many people have screwed their phone trying to downgrade.
Unless you have foolproof method of downgrading and correct 'downgrade firmware' (yes, it's different, cause it will re-write all the partitions again), Don't do it.

I have a similar problem and I cannot get back to stock from the RR oero
I used the method to upgrade from 5.1 to oero 8.0 here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/
Then used the Openkirin RR install method using stock recovery. - all goin good but RR has to many crashes.
I have tried to roll back to Stock using the same HWOTA method putting the update files int HWOTA 8 folder, all looks good in twrp and I wipe Cache and Dalvik but it still reboots into RR
I've noticed in Twrp in red letters it says cannot find partition /system
Rebooting into recovery after using to install TWRP it first boots into stock recovery then when i press factory reset it will boot into TWRP.
