First of all, I want to thank you guys/girls for excellent forum that provided me unlimited information about rooting and so on, for various phones that I had in my collection.
Now, for the first time, I'm writing here, because I need your help.
I have Honor 7 PLK-L01 16GB version, that my company bought me from provider here in Serbia - Telenor.
The only update I got, before I rooted my phone, is B130. No other updates were available after.
So, is it possible that this version of update came, only because it is SIM locked to a mobile provider?
If that is or isn't the case, will I be able to get "manual updates" throughout HiSuite or directly from phone, or am I able to upgrade firmware throughout adb, without any consequences to previous rooting (will phone stay rooted)? As much as I see, here on forum, latest Lollipop update is B170.
And one more thing.
If I have to revert back to stock (unrooting, locking bootloader....etc.) I've strolled around forums, but I'm a bit confused on how to unroot and to recover Honor 7 to it's original state.
Can someone provide me a detailed, step-by-step, manual on how to do it?
Big thanks in advance.
Just to add, rooting was performed with ADB lite (or is it ADB mini....something like that) using TWRP and SuperSu, by manual here on XDA. And after using Chinese TWRP, I found EN one and pushed it over CH one using same method.

Hello,
I had the same problem, blocked(surrounded) b130 without Possibility of putting there has in the daytime.
To solve this problem I am ironed with adb b121, to have has new functional update.
From there update were proposed to me but her(it) not worked not, that blocked(surrounded) of the departure of the update!
Thus I fell in love the " ROLLBACK PACKAGES " update forced and then the update b121 and everything and the been back to normal again(sorted out).
I had the update b170 which I made normally and then b180 and at present everything and become again normal
Thus:
- Extract of b121 system.img, boot.img, recovery.img with HuaweiUpdateExtractor
- adb --> b121 (system.img, boot.img, recovery.img )
- dload --> Rollback PACKAGE
- dload --> b121
And update normally

Can you write it in French? I will use google translate and adjust translation.
But, can you explain what Rollback package is, when used with B121? And why I cannot use B130 again for adb?
Anyone with step by step manual?

Follow this guide i created http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-how-to-update-to-marshmallow-6-0-t3349497
Thanks. I already did it. Sorry for not posting so long, abuout results.
Consider one day you upset the devil and your phone is bricked by him, lets try to revive the phone from hell (at your own risk) :

[TOOL] Huawei Multi-Tool v8 by Team MT by inside!out
TWRP Honor 7X img
Stage 1
Download from here everything you need for the procedure - Download Folder Link
I am testing it on my BND-L21 firmware from BND-AL10
Downloading firmware (from topic). Full firmware must be more than 1.5Gb, all smaller is just
OTA Updates to the system.
After that we must download Huawei-MultiTool (future MT) version 8.x.x (link topic)
and downloading custom recovery. We will use TWRP for Honor7x (link topic)
Last we must prepare OTG Cable, SD Card more than 4Gb. On first stage that's all.
Stage 2
Go to MT and reboot phone to Fastboot mode (while phone off, hold "Volume -" and power)
If you did all correctly, you will see in the down right side your number and "Fastboot".
Now go in MT to the Bootloader and check the status. If you have already unlocked, skip this.
If you have locked phone, you must have IMEI and Huawei account. (if not please unlock your bootloader via the Huawei site)
After that, go to Recovery menu and choose our TWRP image in "Custom recovery" section and
type "Recovery". IMPORTANT!!! DON'T FLASH ERECOVERY, I DON'T HAVE THIS IMAGE!!!
After flashing recovery, we must turn off our phone.
Now we must to prepare base system image. In archive we have UPDATE.ZIP file. extract this
file to custom folder and open "Unbrick" in MT and choose "extractor". Open our file in extractor
and click right mouse key on empty space, choose extract all... and choose custom folder to
extracting.
Go to the folder and copy file VENDOR.IMG to the SD-Card (or USB with OTG). Turn on your
device in Recovery mode (Volume + and power), choose Wipe and Wipe ALL partitions! After
doing this, go to Install and choose "Install img", go to the SD-Card, and install VENDOR.img to
VENDOR folder (Important!)
After installing reboot phone again to Fastboot mode and connect to PC.
Now we must download .zip update to your region. We need this for using LTE (4G) in your country + Localization.
After downloading open .zip archive with our CUST file. archive must be called update_BND-
YOUR-NUMBER_hw_YOUR- COUNTRY.zip
From this archive we must extract .img file from root folder. It can be called cust.img CUST.img
version.img etc.
if name different from CUST.img rename it and put to the extracted UPDATE.app folder.
Last Stage 3
In MT go to Unbrick, choose our unpacked system with our CUST file and we must have at least
4/5 checkbox. And just type "UNBRICK" and wait. NOTICE: at moment of extracting system.img
it will be about 10-15 minutes. It's not a freezing of PC)
After good installing in log you will see like "All ok" Just reboot phone and you will see low level
factory reset, or something else like formatting. After formatting phone will reboot to the system.
That's all
Flashing Gapps method coming soon...

there is a procedure used by EU users to completely revive the phone using the OTA but the procedure is too long which i haven't tried yet and is completely for users who have dead phones for now and yes obviously there is no official firmware available for Honor 7x but the user from an EU forum revived his phone so it is possible from the images.
though i made this thread for users who want to update their firmwares and not the procedure to flash a stock firmware since there is not one available yet but i can point to the thread where this user posted the procedure if someone wants to try. PM me

There are teams who have unlocked a lot of stuff like flashing international FW,
flashing gapps on chinese fw, Automatic Call Recording, restoring the phone.
so i am in contact with them to make our phone better. lets keep our fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
i am waiting for firmware flashing to get it translated from one of the users.
This is the full recovery package right? Atleast for the Indian version?

They arent recovery packages. they are full OTA which can be flashed for updating.
but there is a process to compile them into making them stock firmware packages but due to the long procedure i didnt post it here. rather wait for official stock firmware package.

Hello Honor 7X Users, turns out there is firmware available for flashing for the AL10 and L21 variants
but i haven't tried them out and can post the procedure if someone needs it but all credit goes to PRO-TEAMMT for releasing them for us so now if we mess up we got official firmware's latest available to go back to.
I personally haven't tested any but i soon will.

exactly what you want to do?
this is to update to the latest firmware. if you have the latest firmware you dont need it.
the multi tool is used to flash stock with a procedure which is only needed to return to stock or else theres no need for it for the most part..

1) ???
2) Not sure there is always a chance of bricking
3) Yes, if you don't know what you're doing. No if you're not going to be flashing anything.
4) You should be able to and also refer to #1.
5) None available
6) None available
7) You can't, no stock image released = no procedures to unbrick

1- can i upgrade the system at every update (when the device is rooted) with Firmware finder many times even if I don't recive the notification on the phone of the update (or if the device updater cannot find it)?
2-ok but if do all right steps you cannot brick the phone, no?
3-ok i only wanna unlock bootloader, flash twrp and root the phone. If I do all right steps there are no risks, no?
4-i don't understand it (in hisuite there s the option that says "Update device". With the device rooted can I update the phone with this software?)
5-ok but can I do one with a custom recovery, no?
6-ok so we just have to wait, no?
7-ok. Same thing of the - 6 (we have to wait for the UPDATE.APP for the 7x to be able to UNBRICK the phone in case it could happen, no?)
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for the answers?

1. yes you can if the app supported honor 7x with their firmware but it doesn't yet, use twrp
2. yes you can upgrade via flashing it in twrp
3. unlocking bootloader itself is dangerous let alone rooting since your waranty is gone since there is still no sign of official stock firmware
4. same as no. 1 ans
5. if u flashed twrp you can do your nandroid backup which can be later restored anytime so it will be obv on the phone at that time
6. manual or local update? in the op main post i guess? by opening the link?
7. Still no official firmware and the procedure i am aware of consists of turning the official chinese firmware into normal by changing settings and stuff which is a long procedure so probably if u brick, u r stuck until honor decides to release stock firmware
by the looks i guess you have no clue about phone flashing, its better you dont try anything until there are guides properly made for newbies. :silly:

I rooted my 7X(Al10) version successfully but while performing the reset, deleted the system file also by mistake. There is no TWRP backup. Is there any way to get the stock OS files again to flash in TWRP ? Or does anyone have a backup file they made that they can share? I tried Huawei e-recovery too, but that gets stuck at 'unable to get package info'. The people at the service centre can't think of any other method to restore the phone, except changing the motherboard. When is the official stock file expected to be available?

1. In the app firmware finder there are firmwares for the phone but how can I flash a official firmware (OTA I mean) if there are no one (or how can I flash a firmware finder Update)?
2. Same thing in -1 (I mean)
3. Ok. Now we have to wait the official stock firmware, no? (i don't understand this answer, please write it in another way)
4. I don't understand it
5. Okok (obv? Sorry I'm Italian hahaha)
6. It's not the same thing local or manual? Write it in another way please hahaha google translate doesnt help me?
7. Okok, So if I don't use your method I only have to wait that honor release the official stock firmware (UPDATE. APP). And for greater security it's better wait it before to root and unlock bootloader etc, no?
Anyway, I have an idea of what flashing is, in fact every device I have (they are all Samsung, so that's why I'm disoriented) is completely modified. The fact is that I dont have much experience (I'm 14 years old) with non-Samsung devices, in fact my honor 7x I received for Christmas and for the hurry and the want to modify it, I would like to know all these things.
Thank you

OK thanks I'll keep it aside in case of brick
I would recommend everyone to not do experiments over your phone to try and root and flash random stuff..
they only have official chinese firmware for flashing so its better to wait for the official firmware for non chinese version.
the method which i know of to flash on the phone is for people with flashing knowledge cz the procedure is not simple and secondly even i have been flashing my phone for many years on various devices yet i havent got the guts to root this first honor device cz their partitions are different and somewhat secured so dont play with it.
wait for the official firmware for your respective devices. maybe they will straightaway launch the oreo firmware.
Heeyy guys,
I have a question.
First time using huawei devices and can say that it's quite a hassle. Did brick my phone already once and afraid to do it again.
I got the update notification for the 8.0.0.142 firmware but I have twrp installed so I can't update though the Ota.
I want to do an clean install with the latest update but I'm reading that the bootloader can go locked again. Now with Huawei not providing a bootloader unlock I find it a bit tricky because I really need Magisk.
My question is.
Will someone be so kind as to help me out?
Info:
Huewei Mate 10 Pro
BLA-L29 8.0.0.137 (C432) (Current version)
TWRP Recovery installed.

If you have unlocked previously, I don't see your problem do full update and then unlock again your bootloader unlock code won't have changed from last time.

I've yet to come across any fw that lock again on Oreo. On Nougat this was standard.
And I have b142 installed and it didn't lock
You can however, if you don't want to flash back stock recovery, flash using HuRUpdater using TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
I've tested it and it works if you're using TWRP by pretoriano80, as it has some stuff needed that "official" TWRP by dees_troy doesn't have.
You can find it here if you don't have it already: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904
Edit: As for update files; you can either use Firmware Finder app to download them to phone, then rename them to what the thread says (update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip and hw zip to update_all_hw.zip). Or you can use the site http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
There you just search for the update, BLA-L29C432, then click on the File list link in the FullOTA row. Copy paste links there into a new tab and download, then rename files and transfer to phone.
To get TWRP to stick, place the TWRP image in the same folder as you have HuRupdater.zip script and rename it to recovery.img, then it will flash it back after it has done update.

I've yet to come across any fw that lock again on Oreo. On Nougat this was standard.
And I have b142 installed and it didn't lock
You can however, if you don't want to flash back stock recovery, flash using HuRUpdater using TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
I've tested it and it works if you're using TWRP by pretoriano80, as it has some stuff needed that "official" TWRP by dees_troy doesn't have.
You can find it here if you don't have it already: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904
Edit: As for update files; you can either use Firmware Finder app to download them to phone, then rename them to what the thread says (update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip and hw zip to update_all_hw.zip). Or you can use the site http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
There you just search for the update, BLA-L29C432, then click on the File list link in the FullOTA row. Copy paste links there into a new tab and download, then rename files and transfer to phone.
To get TWRP to stick, place the TWRP image in the same folder as you have HuRupdater.zip script and rename it to recovery.img, then it will flash it back after it has done update.

Can the phone be rooted too and be able to install an update? Or would I have to unroot it first?

No need to unroot. You will, however, need to flash Magisk again after update as ramdisk is replaced with stock one.

Thanks. Please let me know if these steps should work. I am currently NOT rooted and my bootloader is locked. I do have my bootloader code. I'm currently rebranded to USA BLA-A09 (C567) from using funkyhuawei. Originally my phone is Europe BLA-L29 (C432)
Step 1. If I use funkyhuawei (I have that unlimited account for this phone) and rebrand from USA BLA-A09 (C567) back to my original BLA-L29 (C432) and then get the OTA to the latest build .142 everyone is raving about. That is simple part. USA brand is very far behind all other countries with updates....
Step 2. Do I use DCunlocker to unlock bootloader or is it just a command in fastboot mode that I issue?
Step 3. Root the phone (what tool should I use) as I need to modify the build.prop file to allow for VoLTE to work on T-MOBILE in the USA. I found this guide for volte to work -- it seems there are instructions to root in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-enable-volte-icon-mobile-network-t3764826
Then can I unroot the phone and if I do so, will my modifications to the build.prop file remain? Or do I need to keep it rooted?
Lastly, will the phone pass safetynet if bootloader unlocked and the phone is rooted?
Appreciate any assistance and guidance and thank you.

1. Yes, that is fine.
2. Huawei stated they will close down the service, but I *think* it's the service to get the unlock code, not the ability to unlock the bootloader. This may change in future updates, but until then you can just unlock using 'fastboot oem unlock code_here' command (This wipes /data so make sure to backup stuff)
3. Basically you just flash TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904), then flash Magisk (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589). The current beta of Magisk is a little buggy so you can just flash the stable one (16.0). Buggy being that Magisk Manager closes down when you open it, it can be countered by clearing data of Magisk Manager through Settings -> Apps.
Magisk will pass SafetyNet in most cases. Some builds are not yet certified by Google so they won't pass (b142 passes fine), it usually takes 1-2 weeks after they release on http://pro-teammt.ru before they pass.
If you want to unroot you can use Magisk Uninstaller, it's available in the release thread.
And if you want stock recovery you can just flash back stock from fastboot after you've installed Magisk.
Though there's no need to unroot since SafetyNet will pass. And if you only want to replace build.prop you could do it from TWRP. Bootloader needs to stay unlocked though, and I'm not sure if Safetynet passes with a modified build.prop (but it should I guess).
And! Magisk supports modules, so you could just make one that enables VoLTE (by passing the prop using 'resetprop') without needing to modify build.prop at all.
Understand the update official mechanism
Hello guys...
I need to know the mechanism how Huawei mobile device being updated, using SD card if it's possible with new model or can I manually get the update packages link, download them and how to inject them into the device, because the update come with three zip files.
If any one knows clear way please feed me back.
Thanks in advance...
I can turn this into a guide if we get the right info.
I have used DC-Unlocker to unlock bootloader and FRP.
I installed v20 Phh Generic System Image via fastboot flash system.
my FRP is locked now and bootloader unlocked, and oem unlock greyed out.
i am investigating a solution and maybe it can help others.
Recovery:
can flash updates if bootloader and frp is unlocked
eRecovery:
i can connect to wifi, but no firmware is found
DLOAD:
updates performed with vol down+up+power
using the update extractor i can get the UPDATE.APP from the official firmware (SHT-W09C432B151 (8.0.0.151) i think for me)
but UPDATE.APP is over fat32 4GB limit. so i cant put it on the SDCard - and im not sure if the recovery can read exFat.
i tried with both but they fail immediately.
placing the files in the internal storage with DLOAD folder seems to send update to 5% then fail.
HWOTA:
seems to be a method used on older devices - not sure if it will work to flash this device.
the sh. script seems fairly straightforward so maybe it can be modded to work with this device
Device: SHT-W09 M5 8.4 (eu)
Build Number: 8.0.0.151 (C432)
OS: Stock 151 with Phh GSI applied
ive never had a device this difficult to recover. samsung had odin to flash firmware, nexus 5/7/9 always had a way out - when i was building roms for moto xoom it wasnt this difficult.
Good luck man, it seems like when this thing bootloops, it activates some sort of defense mechanism that makes recovery particularly challenging.
I bootlooped after editing my vendor/build.prop file. DLoad method failed. Flashing partitions via fastboot failed. Stock recovery failed. TWRP became available, and I got it working...but no partitions would mount r/w. I paid to use Funky Huawei's unbrick tool, and it failed.
Funky Huawei's eRecovery method is basically all that worked for me. But I paid to use it (I still have a few weeks remaining on a pass).
These instructions, which don't involve payment to Funky Huawei, might or might not work:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/funky-huawei-erecovery-solution-100-t3620165
Thanks for the alternative method.
I tried with hisuite using firmware finder, it uses the same funky DNS server. When I start the process the download works fine then on hisuite it says installing, does nothing then fails. After I reboot (usb in pc, all 3 buttons) it shows a usb symbol - installing but hangs at 5% for ages.
I tried with a portable router with ERecovery and it did not work unfortunately still failed to get info
I had to result to funkyhuawei who have now added SHT-W09C432 to their system.
In the 30 days I have this I'm tdetermined to find alternative solutions to fix this issue like all other devices tend to have.
I battled it out with Huawei support and there's no chance of an frp key - at least first 3 attempts. Also tried to get them tonexplqin ERecovery but said it's for insiders only just for service repairs. They have no regard for helping developers.
I was trying to figure out where the file get stored on ERecovery so if we could adb push to it and hold vol down + up + power to recover the device. I found i could pull from /dload (not internal/externalsd) which contained firmware_update_dload.zip but when uncompressed e enwbti be referenced to Qualcomm chips.
Any ideas on patching the recovery or boot image to prevent frp lock?
I also tried to see if there is a way from adb (while OS is running) to flip the OEM unlock back to on but there's nothing in system/global/settings that represents that.
It's strange because frp should not lock if you log back into the same account.

Any conclusions why this metod isnt working? On older device this works everytime if you do it right but not on this device? is it a Oreo thing or is it because the UPDATE.APP is so big?

In my experience using the Huawei P9 the only time I was successful upgrading the firmware from the dload folder was when the firmware version ended with MF-PV (Public Version). Even though Huawei releases versions of the firmware without the MF-PV extension from what I read these versions are for testing purposes only.
In addition to my reply to you in the 8.0.0.163 firmware update thread there is a tool called HuRUpdater that has a similar upgrade procedure to the one I described when I upgraded the firmware on my SHT-AL09 from 151 to 163.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
OK, thanks for this info, of course I thought that this device would be as easy to utdate then my much older M2-801L via dload which worked every time. And thanks for the tool tip, I'm looking into that thread as well :good:

Sorry for the late reply had some busy months!
So from what I remember it's because the UPDATE.APP was too big. I tried recreating the update.app without the non-essentials but I couldn't get it working.
Huawei support when I asked about how to update via recovery just kept saying it's only for technicians at Huawei so they won't help me in any way!
Hi
I have Mate 20 Pro (Lya-L09, EMUI 9.0.0) that I upgraded from original firmware to 9.0.0.210 using MikeOS method.
Now i just want it back to stock as when i 'check for updates' it never finds any even though i know new firmware has been released OTA.
I have downloaded updated firmware through Firmware Finder (tried both through the phone and through the app)
However, no method seems to work (I've tried all of them). They usually just error out or nothing at all. I've tried/looked at different tools: SP Flash, Flashy, Dload (dialer and eRecovery), MikeOS.
I'm happy to lose everything and start again, i just don't know how and I'm going around in circles looking at various websites and threads.
Any help appreciated.
Which cust is your device ? Cxxx ?
Does your bootloader is unlocked ?

Try changing your home internet/Wi-Fi DNS and then use eRecovery. Some ISPs may block access to China sites. At least mine does. When I use my home Wi-Fi, I can't access some China sites, but if I use my cell network instead, I can access those sites without problem.
Factory reset your phone first might help. Since you tried so many ways to update, you might have messed up some system files.

Hi
With recovery I changed my DNS on the router and my phone. With FF, I tested to hicloud and it worked, but when it reset it couldn't access the package and directed me to Huawei website.
Factory reset is something to consider.

Just flash B212 (
http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3469/g1750/v234906/f1/full/update_full_base.zip
)
With this method (Use hisuite UPDATE's option)

Once on LYA C34 B212, that should bring you back C34 OTAs for your device.

If i'm using the Hisuite update method, how do i point it to the b212 flash? Wouldn't Hisuite just look online for an update?

You register an approved B212 on FirmwareFinder, then you used patched hisuite with FirmwareFinder DNS and the Hisuite's update option.
That should update you to B212.

Holy smokes! This worked! I can't thank you enough!
I had some issues originally of HiSuite just kept closing on my laptop when i clicked 'update'. Took about 5 goes and having HiSuite showing on my phone for the update to begin.
Have since downloaded new update OTA (273).
Awesome!

So far on kirin980 there is only dirty-softrebrand. (DC-Phoenix flash or forced hisuite flash or even possibly renamed dload package flash)
Meaning device's vendorcountry stays the same, but with cust and preload forced to another region. Beware of that on emui10 where it seems there is checks at boot about cust&preload version.
