Just one question my friend. This is only for update Oreo to Oreo right? Not for downgrade?

I'm going to test later today.

Rollback installed now.
You have to modify script a little though, as rollback has no public zip.
So simply remove the line that says
echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA8/update_data_public.zip > /cache/recovery/command
in hwota8_update.zip's update-binary.
You should even be able to install something that's not a ROLLBACK, as long as you factory reset after.
The rollback factory resets automatically.

Of course xD
I did forget first though, and it failed because it couldn't find files...
Rollback installs fine with SuperSU and Adaway (modifies /system) installed.

@mankindtw my friends you're the best.

it worked, I used the rom on the 13th and it appeared in the FF a rom on the 27th, I downloaded the files and I did this procedure and now whenever new roms appear, just follow here

Is there a way to root Mate 9 with Oreo and which is the best method?

It works on MHAL29C567B190 EMUI 5.1?
Can I do this procedure to update ?

Hi,
I simply cant reach step 4. When I try to launch the UPDATE.APK, my mobile restart to TWRP and nothing happen. I guess it is because the TWRP is here? Is there a way to unistall it? Or Is there an other way to launch that UPDATE.APK?
Thx a lot for any help.
I guess I need to flash stock recovery? Anyone has stock recovery download link, which can be used for B511?
Yeeeeah... The ultimate, simple and easy to follow guide! Just 2 files to mess with and you are good to go. Worked great on the first try. For the others, you have to be using stock recovery and it is preferred not to be rooted.
Thanks!

If you are in b500 indeed you are ready to downgrade with a lollipop stock rom. Use the same steps but with the LL rom

I'm on B500 too, but I'm unable to downgrade or even upgrade to other version. Maybe I don't have right version, so could you please tell me which version to use? When I tried to downgrade to B329 (official from Huawei site), updater goes to 5%, than I get error: "Software install failed!".
Please, help me out and thanks!

[GUIDE][ROOT][UNIVERSAL] FORCE INSTALLING STOCK OTA UPDATES WITH SToCK RECOVERY

Since lollipop there is no manual update option in huawei updater and even the huawei stock recovery has no or less interface which has no adb sideload option. This became a crunch to flash the update which your friend got and which u dont.
This Method is Universal for all huawei devices
In order to apply ota update using this method , root access is a major requirement so be sure your device is rooted.
If u had twrp recovery , at first flash SuperSu package to root your device (Try systemless root only) .
After successfull root ,flash stock recovery from twrp and reboot system.
Step 1:
In my case b370 is the last ota i found for kiw-l22 which vsriram92 posted here . Thanks to him for posting the update before 99% users got their update :good:
Download the relevant update package (ota) which you need a relevant base package to install it on . Ex: b360 as base for b370 update
step 2:
just remember the path where u downloaded the package . Install Flashify from playstore or From Here
Select Zip file which is the third option in flashify .
step 3 :
Navigate to the path where u downloaded ota package select the update.zip (ota package).
flashify starts downloading the package to its path asks you for root access .
Grand Su permissions , Select Cwm recovery if flashify asks as the next option.
Now the phone reboots to recovery and starts flashing.
After the ota update , your device will be unrooted . so take a backup of your stock recovery by following below guide.
Enable Usb debugging and connect ur phone to pc.
navigate to adb folder and place twrp.img or recovery.img in adb folder ,open command window from the same folder and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or what_ever_its_name.img
now it temporarily boots twrp , take a backup of your stock recovery and then flash twrp for permanent install and then reroot ur device.
Happy flashing :laugh::good:​
it gets zip signature verification failed....the method is similar to installing the zip file directly from the recovery but that doesn't work unless zip signature is verified

I'm having honor 4x unroot and I don't know how to install the ota file. Is there any way for upgrading a phone without root option and in my phone there is no local update option

Nope. It was there in EMUI 3 previously. Now, we can't unless it has only update.app.
so b370 is only for the ones who gave root access to their phones?

Hello together, I tried flashing the B360 update for my L21 with this method but unfortunately I did not succeed. I followed every step but when flashify reboots to the stock recovery nothing happens. Just nothing.
I used the file for the L21 that I linked to in this post.
Any suggestions how to get it to work?

Are you on B350D0003 or some earlier firmware? I'm on stock B350, just rooted with Magisk+phh's superuser, and it doesn't want to flash that big file at all; tried flashing OTA update (200MB file) and it failed at 80%, causing a damn bootloop. Gah, I thought my old phone was pain in the ass...

I'm on B350D003. After I tried the OTA instead of the full package I came across the same problem with the stock recovery, but when flashing it from TWRP it did flash it, but exited with an error.
No bootloop but as a file was missing for the full update process wifi (and probably bluetooth) are not working.
If you are interrested to solve it, have a look here. It looks like there is a way to fix the problem and we are currently investigating.

TBH, I'm on a verge to start building LOS or PAC/Slim/whatever is properly maintained and fast for my own needs and ditch EMUI completely....
I'm searching for other firmwares now via FirmwareFinder, there is a probability that one is a leaked test or something like that, because it simply doesn't want to flash. If I find out something, I'll continue on thread you've linked, to avoid flooding this one.
Hi. Thanks for your guide.
I need to update my phone with several ota updates. I just need to repeat this guide's procedure until updated to the last ota or there is a better way to do that?

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.

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.

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.

NXT-L29C432B580 update.zip

Hello, anybody got NXT-L29C432B580 full zip?
It appears on http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=NXT-L29C432 but I'm unable to download it.
I've downloaded b581, but I can't flash (or dload) it over b560 (I assume that I need to do b560 -> b580 -> b581).
A new update do fast ? Have anyone had success to install this without root?

I've successful to download the full package of the B580 via Firmware Finder app but that's all! I did'nt test more. Because at moment where I've been motivated to test it, people (OldDroid) talked us about of B581. I don't see the B581 with FF, so I can't have the full package and I tried the B581 via dload. Doesn't work like B580! If I install it via TWRP, I miss some apps... and sometimes they are really important in order to start a fresh installation, like keyboard. I've already had this issue.
Finally, i'm not sure it will work with TWRP like I want.

Cannot flash this
unable to install
Hi,
I'm also unable to install this firmware... when attempting to flash it I get errors (error 7).
process followed:
- format data
- wipe (all, but sd card)
- install root
- install hw_eu
- install public
- install update.zip
- reboot
- factory reset
The build number states NRD90M test-keys instead of the actual build number.
How to properly go to that L29 ROM?
I installed 581 by extracting the .img files from update.app. Couldn't do it any other way. I had issues with tethering greyed out and now it works. That's about all it did for me.

Tethering works for me now.
I used Huawei update extractor to extract the .img files from update.app
I used SRKTool to make it easy to install the .img files. copied the img files into the \unbrick directory
Put phone into fastboot mode (power plugged in, vol down, then power) (Used option 7 then 14 to install using SRK tool.)
Did the remaining files manually using the platform tools (fastboot flash boot boot.img [for example])

Manual Update to Oreo Beta EMUI 8 BND-L21 Users (Europe Variant)

Hey Guys,
i just wanted to share the manual update and to Oreo Beta with you. Since i struggled a long time to find the right thing, i just want to have it in one thread for you all.
First of all you need a BND-L21 Honor7X that's bootloader is unlocked!
Step by Step - flashing EMUI 8 Oreo BETA:
- Download and flash the TWRP Image (credits to Sudeep)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_openkirin_sudeep.img
- Download all the files and put them on your SDCard in your Honor7X´(credits to Eduardo Alonso)
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_BND-L21C_hw_eu.zip
BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img
- Boot into TWRP and go to Advanced > Terminal
Now we do the method (credits to olddroid)
- Type in these commands:
Code:
dd if=/external_sd/BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
dd if=/external_sd/BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery2
- If those went well type these as next:
Code:
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_full_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_full_BND-L21C_hw_eu.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
(Those Arrows (>) and lines (-) are important! Keep them as in command given!)
- If those went well aswell type:
Code:
reboot recovery
- It will try to install the new Oreo EMUI 8 BETA update
- If it's done Reboot to Recovery (Both Volume Keys + Power) and do a factory reset with Stock Recovery
- Be happy with your EMUI 8 on L21!
(Credits: olddroid, Sudeep, Eduardo Alonso)

If you want to Root your device after you have updated to Oreo, follow this Guide:

Feel free to Mirror it. You can send me the Mirror via Telegram

Thank you for this!
To clarify this is the full official firmware package for BND-L21 8.0.0.302(C432log). So other update methods like dload should work as well. If you're already rooted you can skip the TWRP step and just create the recovery commands as root.
I skipped the factory reset without issues so far when updating from BNDL21C432B102.
The only issue for me is that Magisk no longer works, that is the boot crashes (loops) with some undefined symbol error. Is it working for anybody on Oreo on the 7x?
Thanks for your tutorial. Upgrading from BNDL21C432B102 worked like a charm.
This method work on BND-L21C432B123 and unlocked bootloader and twrp a must?
Anybody try via stock recovery dload from SD ..thanks

Yes i followed the Magisk guide to install it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...agisk-root-honor-view-10-mate-10-pro-t3749280 This works.
And yes, as an C432 Device u could skip the factory reset, but its not recommended. If you have any errors, just reset it.

It's not so much the commands, am I doing right by just putting zips on sd as they are or do you have to unzip them and put on sd or into dload file on sd, thanks

Hi !
Thanks for the update!
Is it necessary to have an official ROM backup If so, how do you make one with TWRP or if there are others hanging out on the Internet?
Thanks a lot !
Does the display scaling still work properly unlike the mate 10 which only changes certain parts on Emui 8 ie notification panel and icons

Since it's a Beta, its not Stable as a Stable release Lol. But it seems to be pretty stable i guess. Many say its perfect.
I personally dont use Emui 8 i went straight to RRos. But i may go back to Emui.

It is not necessary! But since no L21 Firmware (except Oreo) is released yet, i dont think there is and cuz' Emui encrypts the internal storage its not easy to make one.

Dont exactly get what you're asking for. But i recommend to look in other Beta threads for that.
Oh and for all, i can't recommend ADB Shell method, since many user got errors with that.
Will this continue to get ota updates as and when they come ?

Thank you so much! Upgrading from L21C432B101 worked like a charm. Literally no problems whatsoever
Only question though is will we get OTA updates or will we have to manually update like with this version?
