[GUIDE] How to upgrade from Marshmallow B510 to B521

It's a pretty straightforward guide. Just follow the guide carefully and you'll be in no time rocking with B521.
This guide is divided into 5 sections. Follow all sections in the order illustrated in the guide.
Optional Step (Recommended) : Flash Stock B510
It is generally a good idea to start from a completely fresh base. Although not necessary, you will however, loose all your data and apps. Backup what is important before following. ​
Flash Stock Recovery (see Step 4 below)
Download B510 from here: https://mega.nz/#!NYgUFYLA!wEEf0f3w_6wxbzr9TYTvTquGBUhsMmRG53G8RSp2xMQ
Copy the Update.APP in the downloaded B510 ROM to dload folder in the root of your external SD card.
Power off your device.
Hold Volume Down, Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously until you see the Honor logo. Your device will now automatically flash the whole Update.APP
Step 1 : Flashing Custom Recovery (TWRP in this case)
If you are already on TWRP, then skip this section.​Before you follow make sure you have installed Huawei HiSuite and ADB/Fastboot Tools. If not see the links below:
Huawei HiSuite: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
ADB and Fastboot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpcXRmV1BmRk1Ta1k
Extract the ADB and Fastboot zip to any preferred location.
Instructions
Download TWRP 3.0.1 Recovery. Head to this thread for download links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 Copy the downloaded recovery to the folder where you have extracted ADB and Fastboot tools.
Power off your device.
Now while holding Volume Down button attach your device to computer via USB cable. Your device will now automatically switch to Fastboot mode.
In the folder where Recovery and Fastboot tools are present, hold down left shift button and simultaneously press Right mouse button. In the dropdown menu, select Open Command Window here.
Switch to the Command Prompt window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
Replace recovery_name with the downloaded recovery's file name.
You have successfully installed TWRP :victory:
Step 2 : Enable Local OTA Update option in Marshmallow
In Marshmallow, Huawei has removed the option to flash OTA updates and Update.APP through the Local Update. Lets get that option back!​Credits to this section goes to OXALIS at 4pda.ru for making the patch to enable Local Update option in Huawei Update app.
Download the Huawei Update patch from this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpUXUybmFZeTVXNDg Copy it to either your device's internal memory or a SD card.
Power off your device.
Hold Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously to boot your device to recovery.
Install the zip downloaded in the first step though TWRP.
Step 3 : Removing Root
If your device is currently not rooted and is completely stock, you can skip this section.​
Before you follow make sure you have installed Huawei HiSuite and ADB/Fastboot Tools. If not see the links below:
Huawei HiSuite: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
ADB and Fastboot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpcXRmV1BmRk1Ta1k
Extract the ADB and Fastboot zip to any preferred location.
Removing Root
Download Stock Marshmallow boot image from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpY1lBVF9ubFdOSXM Copy it to the folder where you have extracted ADB and Fastboot.
Power off your device.
Now while holding Volume Down button attach your device to computer via USB cable. Your device will now automatically switch to Fastboot mode.
In the folder where Recovery and Fastboot tools are present; hold down left shift button and simultaneously press Right mouse button. In the dropdown menu, select Open Command Window here.
Switch to the Command Prompt window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot stock_boot_mm.img
Open SuperSU app and click on "Full Unroot" in Settings.
Your device is now unrooted.
Q. Why not just click the 'Unroot" option in SuperSU app?
Although that would work as it does the same the same thing described above i.e. replace patched ramdisk with stock backup, if the backup isn't present (such as you made a Factory Reset), your ramdisk will remain patched even though unrooted. It's good idea to revert to Stock boot.img if you ever need to root again.
Step 4 : Flashing Stock Recovery
It has been literally mentioned a thousand times that you can't flash official ROMs and OTAs through a custom recovery (such as TWRP). You have to be on Stock Recovery.​
Before you follow make sure you have installed Huawei HiSuite and ADB/Fastboot Tools. If not see the links below:
Huawei HiSuite: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
ADB and Fastboot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpcXRmV1BmRk1Ta1k
Extract the ADB and Fastboot zip to any preferred location.
Instructions
Download the Marshmallow Stock EMUI Recovery from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0LG0AQ4V9FpbldwYWExOGNTUTQ Copy the recovery to the location where you have extracted ADB and Fastboot tools.
Power off your device.
Now while holding Volume Down button attach your device to computer via USB cable. Your device will now automatically switch to Fastboot mode.
In the folder where Recovery and Fastboot tools are present; hold down left shift button and simultaneously press Right mouse button. In the dropdown menu, select Open Command Window here.
Switch to the Command Prompt window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery_mm.img
You have successfully installed Stock Recovery :victory:
Step 5 : Updating to B521
Download the B521 OTA zip from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxgU9yQssu83NTJ6eFBseS1ET3c/view?pref=2&pli=1 (Credits goes to vit755 at 4pda.ru)
Rename the downloaded zip to update.zip and copy it to dload folder in the root of your external SD card.
In your device, open Settings and tap on Update.
Tap the Menu button and then Local Update
Tap the Incremental Update option.
Your device will now reboot to install the update.
Tada! You're done! (Hit thanks if you found this guide useful)

It worked. Now on B521.
Thanks bro

Can anyone provide the changelog for this? is it worth installing over b510?

Help pls.. After installing the update using Huawei updater, the installation got stuck at around 92% so I had to reboot my phone, but now it's stuck in boot loop... I tried flashing the stock Marshmallow rom but I keep on getting install error on forced SD upgrade... My phone version is balong right now..
Edit: I flashed the stock Malaysian Lollipop using forced upgrade and my phone is working again

Are you sure you're on B510. The boot image has been extracted from B510 Update.APP so it should work on all CHM-U01.

I'm on BalongC52B311, CHC—U01, Android 6.0. I suposed equal to B510. Isn´t it?

The CHC-U01 will not work. You have to manually upgrade to B510 first.
The most easiest method is to downgrade to C636B330 and upgrade to B510.

Finally, B521

Stuck with worst version
Hello guys, I am here in Pakistan. Few months ago I tried to update my honor 4c to MM but as you know MM is not available for Pakistan officially.
Someone at xda gave me a version of Honor 4c Marshmallow which was build B502.
I installed and it had so many flaws, now I am unable to downgrade or even upgrade it to any other version.
My build number is CHM-U01C185B502
I need help to downgrade this to KitKat or upgrade it to MM B521 or latest.
I am so disappointed that even I want to throw this phone away or sell it anytime.
Please help me!

Its too long this post is made

But it is one of the best guide available when it was made.

Yes my frn it is best now too

Now It's Time To Flash Cm 12.1
Note: As i Told You To Flash Flyme 4.5.4i(international Version)First.If still not installed then you will not able to install Cm12.1
Why?
Ans: As this rom is for Meizu M2 mini and model number of both devices Meizu M2 and Meizu m2 mini are not same so in this rom its developer had scripted a script in that it will not allow you to install Cm12.1 until it Check Ether Its Meizu M2 mini or not(Our is meizu m2) if it had some problem it will decline further installation process
Like this "Error In Executing Updater Binary In Zip"
Steps for installing rom
1.Unlock bootloader
2.Install Twrp
3.download Cm12.1.zip in SD
4.reboot to recovery
5.wipe everything( It Can Wipe Your Internal Storage too So i recommend You to Get Internal Storage Backup Too)
6.install zip
8.reboot to system
It will take time for first boot so don't worry.

Note: Still Not Able to flash error still comes
then try this two below given steps
1)Try with Flyme 5 beta version it can be flashed(untested)
2)Decompress Cm12.1 custom rom then go to bin folder there will be a file name"otasigcheck.sh"
Delete that file recompress whole rom again.
not recompress whole folder just recompress all files wich will be there eg :boot.img,system,bin etc (tested working 100%)
After this you may not able to get features update so you if you want to update download manually

In the Steps given in the guide, it says- "go to
File_root.zip folder copy all files and Paste it in the Minimal ADB Driver Folder then Install Minimal ADB."
I have installed Minimal ADB driver from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 mentioned earlier in the guide. Do i need to copy all the contents of the File_root.zip folder to the folder which is created upon installing ADB from the link you mentioned (because it also asks to replace 4 files which pre exist there) or copy the contents to a new folder because i am having problem understanding this step.
Thnx!

No. Type fastboot devices. Adb is used when phone is powerd on and usb debugging is enabled.
Go in fastboot mode by pressing power button and volume down key. Then attach it to pc and do the steps stated in previous post.

Rooting new Nougat version

Hi all,
I just recently upgraded my US Version of the M3 32Gb to the new factory nougat EMUI 5.0 version. This was the OTA from huawei since hadn't rooted my tablet. I now want to get the 5Ghz WiFi band to turn on, and from what I get, you have to root the device and update a couple of files. Can someone guide me to the steps of how to perform the root. I got the steps to unlock my bootloader. I am just not sure what the steps are to root.
Thanks in advance!

If you have to ask you probably shouldn't be messing with root...

Compared to unlocking the bootloader and upgrading EMUI 5 it's much easier. I did it and it works.
You will need to have TWRP installed and then flash SuperSU-v2.79-EMUI5.0.zip
Google How to Root Huawei MediaPad M3 EMUI5 Android 7

1. create a new folder and extract the adb file and twrp & supersu in that folder
ADB :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862726185
SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 (dont extract the zip file)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298961353
TWRP (greatslon mod) (download the right version for your device!!!!)
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=125388
--------------------------------------------
now run this commands:
adb reboot bootloader (need to enable usb debugging)
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot (wait till your device booted )
adb reboot recovery (need to enable usb debugging)
adb sideload su.zip (rename SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 to su so you dont need to type that much)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CivvxcM1PCY
from TWRP reboot system

Thank you guys, I will keep you posted.

Thanks for the help. Looking through your steps, they are straight forward. I just have one question about twrp. My assumption is I need to use twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img since I am on nougat, is that correct? I tried searching the forums, I think I found one post that stated the _5 is for nougat, but just wanted to confirm.
Thanks!

BTV-W09 (WiFi) => twrp.zip
BTV-DL09 (LTE) => twrp_us.zip
check your version info in settings......mine is the BTV-W09 (wifi version) so i flashed the twrp.zip
ps: you can check this threat for more info too

Thanks, I understand that the BTV-DL09 is for LTE and the BTV-W09 is for wifi. However, on Twrp's page, there are two versions of the BTV-W09 image, one is the twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img and the other is twrp_BTV-W09_greatslon.img. I was trying to understand the difference.

I had lost root when I used the firmware updater to go to nougat and couldn't get back into twrp to flash magisk again no matter what I did. This worked and I was also able to get the first successful full nandroid backup I've ever had with this device afterwards. Thanks.
BTW - you don't need to rename anything, just type the first two letters of the file and hit tab for autocomplete.

Awesome, that is great news. Quick question, which version of the TWRP did you end up using, the twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img or twrp_BTV-W09_greatslon.img.?

The _5 version as that was the latest.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the boot loader unlock code from the web site? I just bought a new wi-fi (no IMEI) BTV-W09 and I validated the serial and product id like 10 times, but I'm getting "Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID." on the website. I emailed customer support and they told me that they could not give me the unlock code...
I just want to unlock my 5g Wi-Fi...

When I open the app requires root, it shows "Asking for root rights".
Should I flash the superSU once again? flash the zip in the recovery?
Thanks for the solution in advice.

Dear friend,you say this <<create a new folder and extract the adb file and twrp & supersu in that folder>>
In a few lines below you say: << SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 (dont extract the zip file)>> So what is the right action,to extract or not the SuperSu...in the folder that we created before?

Does the rom link given here unzips perfectly?
Because i saw in another thread of Lenovo K8note titled firmware, users unable to unzip due to error in system img. Also downloading from baidu needs a user id. If its possible could you or anyone else reading this upload it in some other online storage drive. Im little bit worried about getting a worse situation while rooting. Even if it goes wrong i can use the stock firmware to make it back.

Yes, I think so. Anyhow there is no need to unlock oem again if you are flashing the rom via TWRP. Anyhow let someone confirm about it.
