PLK-UL00 EMUI 3.1 B180 or EMUI 4.0? - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've got a PLK-UL00 (The indian version) and am currently on the build number "PLK-UL00C17B188".
Now, I downloaded the update package (UPDATE.APP) for what seems to be EMUI 4.0 (PLK-UL00C675B330).
When I try to install it though, I run into an error in the recovery.
Another thing to mention is, that it states I need B170 or B180 to install EMUI 4.0 - But I run B188.
So is there any way to downgrade to B180 OR upgrade to B330 / EMUI 4.0?

If you want to downgrade your phone you'll have to root your phone first and flash your desired Firmware via CWM.
That's the only method I can think of right now.
Maybe it is even possible to use the "force upgrade"-method with an Firmware older than your current one, but I'm not sure about that one

Indeed. Actually rooting is usually not a problem for official update, but manually modifying system file is. You have to go back to a frash install of B12 I guess (with a whole save of your personnal stuff before)

Best way for you will be to use honor multi-tool to debrand your phone to an EU version and then use its updates to update to latest MM build B380.
Alternatively, you can try to find MM build for C636 using the tool provided in the following thread

Oops, sorry, forgot one thing, you need to be rooted for the first method and as rooting comes after unlocking bootloader (which voids warranty), its best that you use the second method if you are not rooted already.
On the other hand, if you want to root and debrand, follow any of the tutorials online or just ask for help here.
Enjoy...

i am not sure if this works, but if you were to download the latest version, extract update.app and put it into dload folder, restart phone and push vol + vol - as well as power at the same time, wouldn't it force to update the entire phone with all bells and whistles as well?

Yep, it will if he has a firmware for his phone but actually he can not find ome and if there is none, he needs to debrand to another model to be able to install that model's update.

New way to use Firmware Finder to upgrade your P9+

Here is a new way to upgrade your phone with Firmware Finder.
Download it from the link and install.
This method use proxy to send update to System Updater.
The Firmware must be signed by Huawei or the update will not pass. Tested on FULL firmware and it works, have not tested on OTA but maby someone can try?

I have now received update notification through the firmware finder app. It is the b360 version for VIE-L09 model. I am currently downloading it now, so if that works, I'll post a new thread on how-to.
Hope this works

For that you need bootloader unlocked. I think he is trying to do that on stock unmodified .

Thanks.
Just a quick heads up for everyone thinking of using HuRUpdater for Honor 10 as I hard bricked my Honor 10 trying it out even by triple checking instructions carefully. It's definitely not compatible with it. Now I had to get it sent off for warranty repair. :crying:

No nothing at all. Tried everything. It's completely hard bricked. I even tried getting it to boot into fastboot mode but the display doesn't even turn on. I had to beg my mum to let me buy a new smartphone. I'm thankfully getting the OnePlus 6 and will sell the Honor 10 when it comes back from repair to pay my mum back. The only thing stuck in my mind is wishing I had just used erecovery earlier.

I used HurUpdater v0.3.zip and downloaded all firmware files for COL-L29 8.1.0.1.0.4 and renamed the files to match the HurUpdater thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 Then I flashed in TWRP Recovery. It flashed successfully and I rebooted once complete. Then I got the black screen of death and tried to turn the phone on.
It's strange as the thread shows that it works for the P20 that has the same processor and confirmed by a user.

I think there is some issue with those build in firmware finder one of my friend tried .120 build with HurUpdater and it flashed but got different device build installed. Its showing device as fty-l29 with chipset-boston as build number and may security patch .
But when he tried with 104 his device also bricked and currently can't switch on. Does any one of you know a way to recover it.

Ah okay, glad I'm not alone. I tried to search for solutions too but nothing. It would be ideal if Huawei/Honor had a similar tool like what OnePlus have for there devices because it's as simple as using an MSM Download Tool and installing the Qualcomm Drivers and then flashing all files in the firmware. Huawei/Honor could have one for Kirin devices.

Col-al10 8.1.0

Hello guys, i just bought the phone, COL-AL10 is China version right?

Searching and downloading firmwares work, but updating via FF doesn't work now, Huawei locked this.
