I'm trying to fully restore my honor 10 (col-l29c432) and have read a DLOAD restore may even relock the bootloader. I've decided I don't now want to mess with custom ROMs and don't want root so happy to lock it.
Trouble is I can't get DLOAD to work.
I've downloaded the full update zip, created the DLOAD folder on Internal storage and copied the update.app there. Inside I've created a folder called col-l29_hw_eu and put the second update.app in there.
Rebooting with both volume buttons down should start the install but the phone says software install error and does nothing.
I tried with a OTG cable and flash drive but same result.
Does DLOAD just not work?

What build are you right now?
Did you modify your system?
Emui 9.0.0.159
Flashed through fastboot so all stock, original upgrade to emui 9 was through stock ota method. Tried a custom ROM but too much wasn't working. Now want it restored with warranty to probably sell

There is a downgrade firmware available for H10 try to downgrade using hisuite.
I'll give it a go, I can downgrade by flashing in fastboot but I'd read a DLOAD restore would relock the bootloader too

You can just use relock command to relock the bootloader after downgrade.
Dload is not working on H10.
Was hoping for lock not relock. But if DLOAD doesn't work then that solves that.
HI,
Can I ask how you flashed with fastboot? Struggling with that myself
Thanks

I just make my mobile unlock(KIW-TL00C01), I have tried
1. extract the image of UPDATE.app from B228 and fastboot flash (failure)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-beginners-how-to-root-update-fix-t3255452
2. using e-recovery(internal recovery), put firmware zip file(B228) in dload directory in SDcard, inform failed at 5%,
if you put that file in root directory of SDcard, it would stop at 5%.
3. install the 3rd part firmware from TWRP recovery(installed, but reboot would make the touch screen support in all the place, and boot loops)
I have tried install a different firmware through the adb when the touch screen is broken.
I use the following command, I didn't find a one could work.
Code:
recovery --update_package=/external_sd/firmware.zip
The one thing I could do to is put the UPDATE.app of B430 into dload, and retry the method 2 or my mobile is complete brick.
I wonder does the Huawei update the signature or firmware of TrustZone?
I don't know anything I could do to make it work.
if you want to downgrade, you first have to dload the rollback package, then the actual firmware
the rollback package

where are you getting your files ? what is the Full version of your phone KIW-TL00C00 or KIW-TL00C01 or KIW-TL00HC00 ?
you must use the exact version for your phone.
the only useful info on the Honor 7 link you posted is how to flash from dload
nowhere did you say you put update.app in dload folder on ext_sdcard and flash with power + volume up and volume down
First determine the correct file for your phone and then flash it correctly

After you entered fastboot, flash twrp, then restart to recovery and copy stock firmware to sdcard.
Even if it fails, you can hold VOL+ button during startup to enter eRecovery, where you can revert to stock using nothing but wireless LAN
P/S : I'm also stuck at bootloops trying to install lineage and mokee, please post a guide if you have done it successfully
Hi guys, i got my H9 yesterday and because i thought i read enough on this forums i wanted to unlock it then install TWRP and install superSU to gain root access and stick with the stock firmware.
Unlocking went perfectly fine,phone booted to OS, than i flashed twrp 3.1.1-1 as advertised here and made a factory reset. Phone was stuck in bootloop for unknown reason.
I made several wipes and somehow managed to check all boxes in the wipe menu which erased the whole OS.
Now i read here that others have the "no OS" problem too but because i still have all unlocked fastboot and twrp i wanted to ask which method is best to flash back the original FW.
Which stock ROM is safe to install? i have european H9 is STF-L09C432B170 the right one for me?
Which method is the best to install it? Copy the 3 zips to internal stoagre via OTG device and install it out of twrp? I read that there is also a force method where users can push vol up, vol down and power simultaneously and enter the huawei install force mode.
I am quite sad that the phone was stuck in bootloop after twrp install and still dont know what caused it. When i install it from twrp there are 3 zips: update, data full public , hw eu. In which order do they have to e installed and is one of them overwriting the TWRP recovery?
Please give me a short hint/procedure, im quite afraid that i cant get my phone back to work and it is brand new. I dont know what caused the unsolvable bootloop.
Best regards and many thanks
Hi.

thanks for the hint but i cant find a solution for me there.
ut this
i copied the 3 .zip files to internal today but TWRP doenst allow me to write them it fails with "write err errno 9"
then i tried to copy the update.pp in DLOAD folder on micro sd but this is not possible because filesize is over 2gb. i tried to format micro sd with twrp to exfat but it till doesnt work. please give me a little hint what to do im completely desperate about the situation.
Today i installed Huawei Multitool and extracted the .img file out of the update.app files, i was able to flash all 4, system, boot, recovery and cust.
Now the rec. menu is back to stock and everything got installed but the phone still isnt booting. i think it is because i missed the userdata.img which i cant find anywhere.
Other users here have the same problem. Is there a firmware package which includes all 5 .img data?
Best regards
i found the official huawei service full repair firmware with all necessary files for unbrick (system, cust, recovery, userdata, boot) flashed them via fastboot but stil device is "hanging" after the warning message that its unlocked. i think it is because i wiped vendor data in twrp but i cant flash vendor.img in fastboot. it is included in the fw package but cant be transfered to phone via fastboot. it stops at part 1/2 because the filesize allowd is around 470mb max but the extracted file has a size of 670. anyone know what to do?
Best regards
You need to go via the Rebrand way with no rebrand. I had the same problem and was trying to use the multitool without success. The oeminfo can be flashed alternatively if it fails during the HWOTA process.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/help/how-flash-oeminfo-t3657499
ok i download all the folders with the .bat file. Then i download C432B150 from the czech site and add it to the update folder. Than i rename the 3 files accoding to the manual and run the .bat file but without rebranding right?
Des this tool any different than the HuaweiMultiTool or fastboot with flash command?
Best regards
I treid out HWOTA, the first step installing twrp is successful than i disattach usb cable as described and enter twrp. Then it says in twrp i have to connect again and press enter but then the bat file stops and doenst go on. i dont come to the point where i can choose rebrand or flash firmware.
Whats wrong here?
edit: i saw in the .sh file that the script executes wait_adb but my phone is not entering adb mode as it seems when in main screen of twrp. is this normal or do i have to set it manually in twrp
best regards
I was able to install the B130 now via 3 button recovery. Now im on B130 but cant update elsewhere. Also the 2 capacitive buttons are not working. Bootloader is locked again. Everything is stock and the phone runs great. When i update with the 3 buton method from external sd, which firmware should i use? i tried B150 full OTA but it aborts after 5% with an error. Do i only need to get a small OTA package now?
How can i put my cap. buttons back to work? Too bad only the 3 button method worked to recover the phone.
Best regards and many thanks.
I did the HWOTA with b120 firmware and then used firmware finder to update to b150.
The bug with capacitive buttons is present till Oreo. I use the home button gestures anyways.
Hope it helps.
ok, thats bad but they worked with the initial revision of b130 and b150 when i downloaded it OTA. Is this something like a fuse like.knox at samsung which happens at custom flashing?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
the HWOTA method doesnt work, the batch file gets stuck after connecting the phone in twrp back to computer. in script it says wait_adb but it is not recognized somehow.
do u know a solution? anotherone here got that problem too.
im very afraid of that, i read here that everything related to twrp 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1 is problematic a lot of people cant boot after installing twrp and can wipe whtever they want the phone never boots fully
whats the difference in the B130/B120 the phone came from huawei and the version flashed via tools? when i got it everything worked
i have this version.
ok so install twrp have frq and bootloader unlocked and then do backup out of recovery? with your file? can you provide download link? is this then a zip file?
I want to solve the thread and how i solved problem.
The B130 service firmware by huawei could be installed via 3 button method, than i was able to go up to the newest B180 via firmwarefinder and DNS method but with not working cap. buttons and flash etc.
Yesterday i installed TWRP 3.1.1-1(temporary) via HWOTA.zip method (ireplaced the older twrp in recovery folder) and successfully installed B120 and got the buttons etc working again. Then installed root and now system works fine and is rooted. My mistake was to install twrp over B130 or B150 which i downloaded OTA at the first day i got the phone. I tested this yesterday to install TWRP along with B150 and unlocked bootloader, infinite bootloop again. With B120 the TWRP 3.1.1-1 works out of the box without any loops.
The 2 trouble solvers where B130 service firmware and HWOTA with B120.
The external SD had to be inserted in card reader on PC because of the large filesize of the B130.
I would recommend to everyone before starting to play with the H9 to move the B130 folders to phone while it is still accessible. When everything bricks like in my case and u still have twrp than you can go to twrp main screen and connect phone to computer to rename the folder with B130 to "dload" and arrange update.app accordingly on PC or in TWRP file manager.
Can i set this topic to [SOLVED] myself?
Best regards

Can I actually just download the latest version via eRecovery and let the phone do everything on its own to go back to Stock? Or do I need to go through another procedure? Sorry for this stupid question but I can't find a guide on this particular thing and I'm concerned about bricking my device.
I'm running Resurrection Remix.

Why do I need Stock Recovery and can't stay on TWRP?
In RR's honor thread, it's at least stated that you'll need to flashback stock vendor partition if you want to come back to stock EMUI.
Stock Recovery and stock boot partitions may also be needed to be flashed back.
Thanks for all your relies. I used dload method now end everything went well without any problems. (firmware, then the vendor)

I copied the dload/update.app into the root of my sd card and then rebooted my phone into dload (volume up + volume down + power). After it finished installing I interrupted the startup and rebooted into recovery where I did a factory reset and wiped cache. Then I removed the update.app from the dload folder, renamed the other .app file into update.app and did the same dload process again.
* Sorry for the bit complicated explanation; I meant copying the folder dload including the update.app into the root of the sd card. So was update.app not directly in the root but in dload folder.

Yes, already successfully updated EMUI 5 to 8 and eventually flashed Project Treble.
It's really working great so far, the only issue is the slow homebutton which I also mentioned in the thread.
Edit - Also, for those who are wondering because of my status bar:
Xposed Beta for Oreo as well as GravityBox [O] are working fine on this Rom.
Hi.
The last couple days, I unlocked my bootloader to install the phh-treble rom and experiment with this phone but the *unlocked bootloader* message every time that I power up my phone, is very annoying.
So I ask if anyone knows which firmware to install to my phone so I can lock the bl and receive otas as normal
Thanks

It's just a guess, but i think that you should flash an original "system. img" with fastboot and then reset you device.
You can use Huawei Unpacker to get your system.img from a FullOTA firmware (you can download it with Firmware Finder).

When you go to recovery now, is it Huawei recovery or some aosp recovery?
If Huawei you should be able to use that same guide to go back to stock. You just need to download the Firmware your phone came with (Ex. L29 C432), then update using the guide. Or you could rebrand and install fw.

It is the Huawei recovery but the weird thing is that it flashes another recovery and kernel before at the fastboot mode.
Anyhow, I just wonder, if I go back to the 127 (following the method above) which is verified thru IMEI, will I be able to get OTAs?
Or
Which is the correct method of restoring the full stock rom in order to have OTAs and lock the BL

Yes, you will get OTA.
If you install a full firmware everything will be replaced (though you can keep bootloader unlocked, but you're asked when you run repack so select yes ("Lock bootloader?").
The "correct" ways would be: HWOTA8, Dload (if available for your firmware), FunkyHuawei (paid).

It shouldn't. And it works again with root. Apparently something broke in SEPolicy, but mankindtw fixed it in his pre-rooted ramdisk. Though, we can install Magisk "normally" now (as a package through recovery) so it shouldn't be a problem anyway SuperSU should install in a similar way too, if one would take the time to make it. I prefer Magisk though
What is the best method to return fully to stock?
Is it extracting the system partition from the update.app downloaded from https://pro-teammt.ru/online-firmware-database-ru/ and flash it using fastboot
or searching for the service rom on https://androidhost.ru/ and doing the dload method?
My phone is RNE-L21 8.0.0.315 (C185)

Thank you for the reply if you don't mind further help can you tell me if this is the correct service rom for my phone?
https://androidhost.ru/8U3
I have already downloaded the files from this one
https://pro-teammt.ru/online-firmwa...l=RNE-L21C185B315+(8.0.0.315)&firmware_page=0
Can they be used interchangeably or only the first one?
Second question
the dload method is to unzip the file and copy UPDATE.APP on SD card in a folder named dload on the root of the card. (I can't have it on the phone itself right?)
then reboot on download mode (turn off your phone, then, press volume up + volume down + power button until Huawei logo appears).
This should trigger the process to install the app UPDATE.APP file.
Is this correct?

It's correct service ROM for your phone.
From dload you can flash service ROM only, from
androidhost.ru, this site contains only Service ROM .
Dload method: you have to extract file >dload< from downloaded .zip archive, and just copy >dload< file to the root directory of the SD card. ( Before you do anything, read carefully Software Upgrade Guidline in "ReleaseDoc" ).
Use force method with three buttons (my strongly recommendation).
With Service ROM you will get full stock with locked bootloader (warranty will not void any more).

Thank you it worked and I'm back to stock. I have a few questions...
There is an EMUI update, I was wondering if I did update and wanted to install a rom then back to stock again.. can I use the same files I used or do I have to download new service rom?
Second question can I still unlock bootloader with the same code I had?
