I'm still on nougat.

So use the android app Firmware Finder to force the update to the lowest oreo firmware approved for your phone region ; You may have to force the update ti the highest nougat firmware approved for your region before...

Whats your current region and version number ?

My version number us STF-L09C432B180.
Problem is that my recovery is twrp. Tried to update but failed. Do i have to go back to stock recovery?

Yes you have to flash back STF-L09C432B180 stock recovery for OTA updates to work.
Use 'huawei update extractor' pc app.

The flashing of stock recovery was successful, but when i try the update then i have the following problem: "Verifying Update" is successful, but the installation of the udpate fails.
Is there any logfile where i can see the problem? Do i have to relock the bootloader?

Any advance?

So, You're now on STF-L09C432B180 with stock recovery.
1. Update to STF-L09C432B183 via :
a. normal OTA
or
b. android firmware finder app ; choose an approved firmware. You'll have to try with fullOTA-MF-PV, if not working with fullOTA-MF, if not working with OTA.
2. Update to oreo

Result with is the same with OTA and firmware. Device boots into recovery. Then verifying update package is ok. It starts with installing and fails at around 9%. Message is: Software install failed. Get help from: http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore . This page g

[Q] Huawei GR-5 back to stock problems, can someone help?

As the title says, i am currently trying to get back stock and update it to MM build to get latest version of CM13 rom. But tried every god-damn method nothing worked. It says software install failed. Tried a lot of recoveries and ROMs which are official for GR5 aka honor 5x.
Tried recoveries:
KIW-L21 B140
KIW-L21 B130
KII-L21 B130
Tried firmwares:
Huawei_GR 5_Firmware_KII-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C636B310CUSTC636D001
Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B330CUSTC432D001_Denmark
TWRP backups are working fine. But does not updates it to marshmallow. I think i need MM TWRP backup of it. If someone has please post it below so it will help other people as well as me.
It keeps saying software update failed. Doesn't even loads %1. And if i do this process with TWRP backup or CM installed device it still does not lets me install stock firmware.
I really don't know why it does like this since all the people can able to flash it to their devices while i cannot able to do it. I am facing this issue and it bugging me a lot.
Note: Both of the KIW-L21 and KII-L21 same model since 5.1.1 works both. Yet still does not lets me update the ROM to 6.0.1. so i think i need a MM TWRP backup if possible.
Edit: Provided screenshots below. PC sees it as MSM8916 for arm64(?) -this one is twrp backup of GR5 5.1.1-
Provided /cust folder screenshots
Provided /system/build.prop screenshots.

Hello, I am currently in version b320 with stock recovery, b330 update does not exit from the settings. When I look at Firmware finder, It says it can be updated to version b330 from version b310. How to install or return the B310 version? And my bootloader unlocked.

you will need
HUAWEI UPDATE EXTRACTOR to get back to B310
and you will need Adb and fastboot
first download B310 firmware from huawei official website
open huawei update extractor app on you pc,then choose the path of downloaded firmware
extract BOOT,RECOVERY and SYSTEM
and put them into adb folder
open adb folder,connect your phone with the usb cable to your pc,open adb and fastboot app
enable usb debugging on your phone
type in adb:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
your phone will boot to bootloader and fastboot mode,then type fastboot flashboot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot reboot

[Honor 5x KIW-L21] Bricked

Hello! Some day i want to downgrade my Marshmallow to Lollipop. I installed stock ROM to my Honor 5X but in older android - Lollipop 5.1. And I get bricked it. On start on screen i can see first-step logo honor after it i can see second-step honor's logo and here i wait 30 minutes and nothing 45 minutes and nothing. Worse is this I can't back to my stock Marshmallow, when I'm installing my previous ROM - MM i get the same brick on second-step logo. I installed a few more ROMs and nothing. My bootloader is unlocked but when i try to flash cust/system by fastboot appear an error. FAILED (remote: Command not allowed). I think i tried everything, thank for help me.
PS. Sorry for bad English :/
EDIT.1 I tried to use this method from Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/ive-bricked-honor-5x-t3324225. But the same problem at fastboot.
cust and system won't get flashed on 5X, try force updating it with an UPDATE.APP package for your device.
Put it inside dload folder in root of the Sdcard, and press all three buttons (Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power) after switching off your phone, to start updating.

Thank you. But i tried to get ROM back by UPDATE.APP and when i want to go back to Marshmallow i get second-step honor logo and nothing after it. When i want to get Lollipop i have error "Software can't be installed" - something like that. I heard something about "Transition package" or "Downgrade Package" ? Maybe it can be work. But i can't find those packages for honor 5x KIW-L21.

If the Marshmallow update went through a bit, then you'll need transition package, so take on some pain to find it. It should be out there somewhere.

That's maybe becouse i don't remove ROOT and Xposed before installing ROM, how to unroot by TWRP?

If you use the this version of TWRP > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588212152305793
you can flash system.img and cust.img extracted from your Update.APP with HuaweiUpdateExtractor
fastboot boot twrp.img
then copy the files to the phone
then choose Install / Install Image / system.img or cust.img or recovery.img boot.img ..you choose
Also just saying your have a L21 does not help
is it KIW-L21 C432 or KIW-L21 C185
Now i backed to B130 and i have loop with message Optimizing system... this process going to 100% and phone reboot. And it looping.

your post tells us nothing about what you did, are we suppose to guess ?
if you successfully flashed System.img - boot .img - cust.img and recovery.img you can now use the dload / Update.app

Ok, one more time. When i'm installing any ROM B130 or B330, stock or official doesn't matter, the same problem. After installing rom by UPDATE.APP my phone booting and booting and booting and nothing. When i'm installing rom images by TWRP - boot, cust, system It's the same problem Booting, booting and nothing. When i tried to flash rom by fastboot i have error: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed). I would like to try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/how-restore-cust-partition-t3356769 But i don't know how to access to adb shell: when i type "adb shell" in cmd where i have adb it say to me: error: device '(null)' not found. I don't know what to do more.
How much time honor 5x system is installing?
How i can check my honor is KIW-L21 C432 or KIW-L21 C185?

If you tried to install the wrong Update.app the updater would get to 5% and stop and eventually just reboot. Did you actually watch the update go to 100% and reboot ?
I think i found source of my problem. When i want to downgrade my system was B340.
I read something about downgrade. Without Transition Package I can't downgrade my system I can install only the same (B340) or higher.
This making brick when i'm installing B330 or B140.
Now i'm trying to install OTA B340 and i have another problem,
when i have B330 and installing B340 by small OTA 124MB I have stuck on 5% of installing. It becouse:
EDIT 2 : If you come from B330, don't try to flash the small B340 update as local update has simply been disabled by theHuawei/Honor devs !
Worse, with B340 you won't be able to downgrade to any lower version : at least not easily... INFO FROM: HERE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But when i'm installing B130 by TWRP and upgrading to B340 by big upgrade (1,36GB) it's stucking on 0% and i get info: DO NOT UNPLUG....
I think that becouse my version isn't B130 only B140. I'm checking it by DC-UNLOCKER. Output from it:
Code:
Found Phone : KIW-L21
Model : Huawei phone in fastboot mode
Serial NR. : My Serial

Maybe I should Restore backup from diffrent KIW-L21 by TWRP?

Normally restoring a TWRP backup is no different than flashing System.img and boot.img
your bootloop is firmware related ... you need the full B340 package

At the moment there isn't any full B340 ROM for download. And any OTA B340 doesn't work for me, yes? For example:

Stuck on huawei erecovery

Hello.
My honor 9 (stf al00) cant boot. It stuck on huawei erecovery.
I've tried hard reset, wipe cache & wipe data but still stuck.
And also I dont have the driver.
Can anyone please help me.
What happened before ?
You were on nougat or oreo ? which build ?
Which region ? C00 ? or rebranded C432 or else ?

I dont know what happend, give my brother use for awhile, suddenly he return to me with this problem.
its on nougat. sorry what build, i dont know.
Region China?. i dont know about the C00 or rebranded and c432 that you said. really have no idea.
OK.
So your Honor9 is STF-AL00 and was on nougat.
But:
-you don't know on which firmware region it was and you don't know if it was rebranded to STF-L09
-i guess your brother could also have updated it to oreo, or rebranded it before bricking it...
If you did not have any chinese app stock installed like QQ, Weibo or Tancent News then you could be probably on region C432 (or C10 or C185) ;
If so use this with an exfat external micro sdcard or usb-otg EXFAT formatted:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892
First try with C432B130, read the instructions inside, do it, then report.
thanks.. i will try it tonight,
i've done try update with sd card before, but not with those file inside the link you give.
and also not with EXFAT fromat sd card, but it said Software Update Failed.
i will try this and update here again..
thanks

right now with oreo partitions, never rebranded the phone, and i was running update b362 so i assume im still on c00, otherwise i dont think i would have worked.

right now with oreo partitions, never rebranded the phone, and i was running update b362 so i assume im still on c00, otherwise i dont think i would have worked.
twrp is 3.1.1.1 open kirin edition[/QUOTE]
OK so, the facts :
1) B362 firmware are mostly european (C432) or russian (C10) and could be japanese (C635).
So your phone was previously rebranded from chinese to one of these region.
It's not a problem if not done wrong, maybe your case...
2)'twrp 3.1.1.1 open kirin edition' is a custom recovery for NOUGAT and not for oreo.
And then some more questions:
-Can you boot your phone to normal mode ?
-You were on nougat before brick ?
-You were one oreo B362 before brick ?
-The brick happens after it upgraded from mogat to oreo B362 ? If so, how did you update ? normal OTA ? forced OTA with android app Firmware Finder ?
i can only boot the phone in recovery mode (twrp and erecovery) and fastboot
i installed b360 through forced ota and then when i was in the system i updated again to b362 throught settings\system update
i was on oreo b362 before brick, and i remember now that my navigations buttons were not working so i flashed a custom kernel to fix it, but
that prevented me from booting to the system again. (Proto Kernel)
edit: used that tool you gave me and i managed to flash STF-L09_C432B360.

So your phone was correctly rebranded in the past and we can deduce you are now on region C432 or C10.

You flashed a custom B360 kernel over your B362 : It was why your phone bootlooped just after !!
Flashing a stock B362 kernel would have solve the bootloop.

You said you had flashed boot, kernel and recovery from an update.app.... Which build number and region this update.app was from ?
You could flash back B362 stock boot, kernel and recovery and it should boot if you did not messed something else...
So, the best for you will be to:
1) use HuRUpdater to flash C432B360 or C10B360 firmware (depending of your actual phone region)
2)then flash the B360 kernel fix
3)then update via OTA or huRUpdater.

i flashed many update.app, i messed up with that, cant remember the last one.
just flashed twrp for oreo now, went to terminal and i can see "ro.hw.vendor: (hw)
does this tell me my phone region?
with this twrp for oreo i also get another error when flashing a rom zip "failed to mount "\system" (permission denied)
Stop messing with random dload folder and update.app ; From what i seen only special one called 'service repair' will work.
No. It does not.
Stop messing trying to flash random zip when on twrp ; From what i heard only special one called 'FullOTA-MF-PV' will work this way with twrp.
Be bold and try HuRUpdater witj C432B360 following my latter post.

i used HuRUpdater and worked. thank you! cant update to b362 through settings tho
C432 is maybe the wrong region if you don't get ota update notification to b362/b364 when checking for update in settings :
1) What's your build number version on Settings/System/about ?
2) What's the country shown when you dial**#*#2846579#*#**- on the dial pad, then go to 'Network Information Query' and then to 'Vendor Country Info' ?

vendor:hw
country:eu
build number:stf-l09 8.0.0.360(c432)~
reflashed b360 and now i get update to b364 on settings. still no capacity buttons..
So, you're fine on C432.
Just flash the B360 kernel fix while you're still on B360 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75772700 ;
This will fix your buttons.
You can then do a normal update via settings
ok so i tried to update using vol up + vol down + power button, again it said software install failed
inside those rar file got 2 file, 1 is UPDATE.APP which is 4gb++ and another one is update_STF-L09_hw_eu.app size around 1.4gb.
try update with 4gb file, appear 5% loading and then appear software install failed, same with 1.4gb file...
the only option i got is reboot system now when the error come out..
already did wipe cache & data before i do the update..
any idea? am i doing wrong step?
I have the same problem...When the installation begins, it stops at 5%
My phone is turned off. I tried to install recovery but got nothing
any idea please

Installing newest stock on rooted honor 9

Hi guys,
Probably been discussed before, but I couldn't find all the answers I need.
I have honor 9 STF-L09, version STF-L09C432B100.
The phone bootloader is unlocked, rooted and have TWRP recovery.
Sorry for the muiltiple questions.....
I want to update it to the latest stock ROM (I have no problem wiping the memory).
I thought about using HuRUpdater tool, is that the best method?
I couldn't find a 'Global' ROM version, which should I choose?
Will I have to do incremental update with this tool?
Do I must change the recovery to this one? is there a better version? Do I need the capacitive touch fix (I didn't have any problem with capacitive touch).
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
They 're no public nougat proper recovery working with HuRUpdater. The one you linked is for oreo.
So i guess you'll have to :
- flash back STF-L09C432B100 stock recovery
- then update tje normal way to oreo via OTA
- if not getting OTA, you could force it with android apps 'Firmware Finder' to update to STF-L09C432B183. Then you should finally got the normal OTA update to STF-L09C432B364.
This process should not mess with your flashlight or caoacitives buttons.

I am already on B100 and its recovery.
Since I'm rotted with TWRP I can't get OTAs (I do but it doesn't work)
What is "tje"?

Can you please elaborate, I have no idea what you're talking about and how do I force OTA?

I think "tje" is just "the" . I think you have to start with clean device : stock rom ( in this case stock recovery too : flash back STF-L09C432B100 stock recovery ) and update with Firmware Finder, to 183 first, 364 after.
ADD : for me, just my way, don't hurt me if I'm wrong : ) I open FF, select correct rom , hit button " get an update trough dns " " auto", go to parametre / update , system find the update, go back to FF, close it, update still DL, sometimes , when finish , update can't start, so I reboot my device, return to parametre / update and it's ok.

twrp is a custom recovery and you need to have a stock recovery for OTA update to work.
So : 'flash back STF-L09C432B100 STOCK recovery'
You could get it by using windows app 'Huawei Update Extractor' on the file 'Update.app' included inside the firmware file 'update.zip' 's STF-L09C432B100.
Don't mind your root access: you'll loose it during the update.

just a typo in place of 'the' ; like your 'rotted' in place of 'rooted'

Because you state that you're getting the OTA notifications : You won't have to FORCE them. So don't bother.

So you're saying I need to extract the stock recovery and flash it using fastboot. /then I will update normaly via OT to the latest version.
Then I need to re-root and reinstall the custom recovery.
Did I understand you correctly?
Where can I find the STF-L09C432B100 firmware?
Many thanks
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. https://yadi.sk/d/Y2yuM--73Lb9Kk/update.zip
It's C432B120 but its stock recovery is the same as B100.
Thank you all.
I flashed the stock recovery and managed to OTA update all the way to the most recent version.
Now I need to find which custom recovery is appropriate for new version

Thanks. I did that, it works
I already asked in the post you linked. bit do you knwo what's the difference between "fastboot flash recovery" and "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk"?
I did as instructed in the OP ("fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk"), but I can't load TWRP from power off using power button + down button.
TWRP does load when using "adb reboot recovery_ramdisk". Is that the reason?

wrong keys combo for recovery mode on huawei/honor phones :
From power off, using power button + up button will give you recovery mode.

Hey everyone,
last month I unlocked and rooted my phone, then used this tool to put on the newest firmware (at the time 366). Now, I'd like to update to the newest firmware (368). Is there anything special I need to do or can I just dirty flash it per see? Do I use the FullOTA-MF files or the OTA-MF files?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Manual upgrading?

Hi all.
Honor 9 with unlocked bootloader and FRP. I'm on 8.0.0.366, rooted via Magisk's modded ramdisk and stock recovery.
AFAIK Otas should not work anymore.
According to Huawei Firmware Finder, OTA update to .368 is available and approved for my IMEI.
I tried to upgrade putting main update.app file (from the full-ota-mf) in SDCARD\dload and booting in software update mode. Process fails with software update error at 5%.
Same with 367.
Furthermore there are multiple update.app in the downloadable files, how to flash all updates?
Is there a way to manually upgrade the phone without factory resetting it?
I would avoid installing a custom recovery, maybe in beta.
I'm also comfortable with bare fastboot, could I flash all needed images just skipping data?
Thanks
I had the same problem with update.
I used this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/how-to-root-honor-9-stf-l09c432b360a-t3778110 and flashed newest official ROM and Proto 8 kernel and it's awesome.
You can backup your data with hisuite and recover after fleshing. Worked for me very well.

Yep, I did the same. Got from b360 to b369 without factory reset. No issues.
1. TWRP 2. HuRUpdater with b369 from Firmware Finder 3. Magisk 4. Proto8 kernel+Split injector
All flashed from TWRP. TWRP flashed from fastboot. The same TWRP was renamed and put in the HuRUpdater folder.

SDCARD\dload won't work with update.app from Full-ota-mf ; maybe the full-ota-mf-pv but it's not sure. I believe it only work in firmware mode (dload) with 'service repair firmware'.

normal ota(IF WORKING) or 'HuRUpdater + twrp'
