Can i downgrade from EMUI 3.0 to EMUI 2.3?

Can i downgrade from EMUI 3.0 to EMUI 2.3? - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

Hi, i would downgrade to emui 2.3 because the rom that i have (B708) is drinking my battery, can i without any risks? If i can, how?

You can look around on the forums and I'm sure you will find the proper tutorial and download links but basically you need to:
1. Flash stock recovery using ADB in fastboot mode
2. Using stock recovery you then perform an "update" using file which you put in the folder "dload" (update.app) Note: This isn't a ROM its just a "preinstall" for flashing another update.app file
3. Then you update the rom once again with the proper update.app which is I believe b132. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
4. Then finally once you boot into b132 you will get a notification for an update to b520 (not sure since it varies from region) or you can go into Settings and do a manual check for an update and then you can update and if you so desire you can enter the recovery once more to wipe data and cache so its basically brand new.
If I do have the time maybe I will link you the downloads to the stock recovery, update.app file and b132, but I'm not promising anything
Also one more thing, I recommend not flashing chinese builds if you really don't have to because these can brick your phone.
Good luck and have fun.
EDIT: You can also flash some of the ROMs on here that are based on emui 2.3
EDIT 2: Heres a guide you can follow but it seems that the links are broken... Link to the Guide
EDIT 3: Found the links :
Stock Recovery (To flash it, put the .img file into the folder of Minimal ADB, open ADB and type fastboot flash recovery stockrecoveryP6U06.img)
Unicom 2.0 (need to flash this as update.app first, after flashing it will say that it failed but don't worry its supposed to happen)
Emui 1.6 b132 (needs to be extracted first, flash after Unicom 2.0 same way)
EDIT 4: If you need further help or instructions just ask, I'll gladly explain all the steps since I recently downgraded back to stock aswell

[HOW-TO][GUIDE] Downgrade 4.4 -> 4.2 / Change from Chinese to International ROM

Since everybody knows how to upgrade OTA or from LOCAL UPGRADE and go from 4.2 to 4.4 I've decided to let you know how to easily downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2 AND / OR change from Chinese to International Huawei Firmware!
The method I describe here, I've found in some German forums after long search. It really works! 100% tested on my device Ascend P6-U06!
!!! CAUTION !!!
Before you begin, you must be sure you have STOCK recovery, NOT TWRP one!!! This flashable files work and can be flashed only thru STOCK recovery!
If you have TWRP recovery and don't know how to go back to STOCK one, look the SECOND POST in THIS thread and follow the steps there, before you begin this procedure! ONLY after you're done with turning back your STOCK recovery and you're sure of that, you can continue with the following steps:
To Downgrade from Android 4.4 to Android 4.2 / Switch from Chinese to International ROM, do the following:
1. Download this (Unicom 2.0 Downgrade Flashable ZIP) and flash it thru STOCK RECOVERY - https://mega.co.nz/#!ZYVixBqa!JNMLRB2DUVKlGpZVqPJbIsdbVPijks7r1Mtk46KGrmE
This is a 240MB archive, also known as Unicom 2.0 - something like ROM, but it is not an entire ROM, but just part of it, that must be flashed thru stock recovery. You must unzip it, take the dload folder that is inside and put it on you sdcard. Than you can flash it like a local update thru the updater, or you can forcefully flash it - pres power+ volume down+ volume up and it will take you directly to flashing updates thru stock recovery. When you flashed it, you can once again boot normally into you Android device. Now you must take dload folder from the B132 zip (from the link below), once again put it on your sdcard and flash it again using the same methods again thru stock recovery. The cool thing is that the first little flashable zip allows you not just to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2, but also change from China to International ROMs. So when you're finished flashing this thru stock recovery, flash the official international B125 or B132, wait for the system to install and boot into android. When it is finally booted, you can flash B510 or B512/513 - whatever you want. In my case when I downgraded to B132, after the first boot the system prompted me, that it can be updated directly to B520 OTA. I've updated and now I am once again with International firmware
2. Download this (B132 International 4.2 Firmware) and flash it thru STOCK RECOVERY ONLY if you already flashed the file in the step above! - https://mega.co.nz/#!5JkAzKpB!nFqfHIHfWo6EO4XPqjO3Gga6a3XWWnqqZxZDZpzAdWE
3. Boot into Official Huawei Android 4.2 firmware and check for update OTA. If you have one - install it. If you don't - you can flash B510 or B512/513/etc...
Enjoy International firmware line again! This method can also be used just to downgrade form Android 4.4 to Android 4.2!
Files are not flashable thru TWRP - please, use ONLY Stock Recovery!

Please, hit THANKS, if this thread helped you!

question: which stock recovery should i take if i have b635 (there is no available official b635 rom - only repack)..

Just try with the stock B510 recovery from the second post in the TWRP recovery theme! I think stock recovery is the same for all 4.4 ROMs and it doesn't matter which one. I recommend the one that I told you about! Should work! I was with Chinese B706 ROM and TWRP. To downgrade I've flashed the B510 stock recovery first and then - step by step as I wrote above.

thanks..will try to do that..

I have a question for you - I see that you modified the .prop file for the local channel, to get louder sound in headphones (from your signature). I've tried to do this today, but when I try to modify the file every time it says - cannot save changes, file cannot be modified, changes not saved! I have root and I've mounted / and /system as writable! I can edit build.pro without any problem and save the changes, but this file - I can't! How did you edited it and how can I edit it too?
Thank you!

UP!
Moderators, please consider to make this thread sticky / important! Thank you!

did not work for me..
i made the following:
flashed stock recovery from b510
took a fresh 4gb sdcard with dload folder on it..inside this folder was the update.app from the unicom rom..
then turned off device..
then pressed power,vol + & - together and held it 'til the recovery screen with yellow writing appeared..
it started to flash..but on the point where the verlist check begins it tells me "fail"!!!..
so what to do now???
i know this procedure..did it with the b506 rom and it worked..but with the b635 rom it won't work..

Try to flash B706 Chinese EMUI 3.0 new Development edition ROM from the official Huawei web site. If you flash it over the B635 successfully, then you must be able to do this procedure to turn back into international line of ROMs and to B132 4.2 ROM. after that you can flash B510 again. Try this method! I'm pretty sure that it will be possible to flash B706 directly over B635, even than that in the official website it is recommended to update only from B508SP02 official chinese rom. I had success with updating directly to B706 from B512, but if you can't go from B635, try to flash B508SP02 first, than B706 and than downgrade! Should work! Good Luck!

got it..
i just had to flash the b125!!!
so easy..i just flashed the stock recovery of b510..made a force update with the b125 (not the p6 unicom 2.0!!!!)..and now i just upgrade my p6 to b520 via OTA!!!
thanks for your help and time!

No. No problems at all. I think just the upgrade took a little while that usual but it flashed like charm over the B512 without any problems! I think the flashing from B508 is just a recommendation, because the B508SP02 is the latest chinese ROM, and this B706 is Chinese developers edition...

That's right! Download the official B706 from Huawei EMUI website, unzip it, put the dload folder in you sdcard and then i recomend to make Local update first. If it doesn't want to update thru local update option in the Update Application, then try with forceful update - press and hold power + volume up + volume down and wait until phone boots into stock recovery mode! The update can only be done with stock recovery! If you're on TWRP, that you must go back to stock!

**** uc browser sucks
I kept to download b508 due to some problem I have to pause it only 36mb was remaining and when I resumed it showed a error was not able to resume the download so I re downloaded the b508 it got downloaded now
So kept to download b706 the same thing happened only 50mb was remaining for the download to complete it showed a error again but this time I did even pause ****
And now someone told me we can update b706 on b512 no need of b508 ****
Today ill download b706 on chrome

Hi,in my Huawei Ascend P6-U06 i installed firmware B513+EMUI 2.3.
I tried to downgrade with this method but it fails when i flash Unicom 2.0 (i follow the instructions:download it..unzip then put UPDATE.app in dload folder of my sdcard).When i flash it,itfails(i have Stock Recovery,never installed TWRP).
Is this method valid also for B513+EMUI2.3?Or maybe i've done something wrong?
Any help is very appreciate..Thanks

Try to flash it forceful with holding all buttons together, or try to copy not only the update.app, but the whole dload folder from the archive. If it's not working, just try to flash B510 or B512 on top of B513 - this should work. After that you can try to downgrade to 4.2 again with the same method!

Cause i'm a newbie,i explain you step by step what i've done:
I follow carefully your instructions(part 1),i try to flash it with local update,but i get message "fail"
After that,in stock recovery,i didn't reboot,but i move to option "apply update from external storage" and after a few seconds i have messages:
-wiping cache (at package request)...
-formatting cache
-cache wipe complete
-install from sd card complete
-cust copying files
-copy cust files successed!
It means that the process has been successful ??? If yes then i proceed to downgrade...
If no,i'll try with your advice to flash B510 or B512 on top of B513...

The process is successful! You must now reboot an go in your android. Now you can copy the other firmware (b510) to your dload folder in sdcard and then try to downgrade! It should work fine!!!

Rare Firmware Help

My HTC 10 is network locked to Hutchison 3G Ireland.
I had flashed TWRP and SuperSU to it and also S-Offed.
Then later I got a notification for an OTA update - (1.53.771.6).
So I wanted to re-flash my original stock recovery (1.21.771.4) in order to take it
BUT... I didn't make a back up of my original stock recovery and I can't find a copy of it anywhere online.
These firmware versions seem to be unique to Hutchison 3G: 1.21.771.4 -> 1.53.771.6 -> 1.90.771.4
Any tricks on how to get this OTA without a copy of my stock recovery?
Or how to obtain my stock recovery from somewhere like htc.com?
I can find the binaries for 1.21.771.4 here: htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/, but no recovery.img within them.
Is there some simple solution I'm missing here?
I have a few ideas:
1. Flash a similar recovery version (e.g. 1.21.401.4 European Version) then take the OTA. Would this work?
2. Download the available OTA (1.53.771.6) to the phone, as normal, but don't install it.
Locate where it's stored on the phone and take the recovery.img from it.
Flash this stock recovery.img manually from fastboot.
Then manually install the rest of the firmware from this stock recovery.
Is this even possible??

There is an RUU available for you. It may be an older version but it should work because you are S OFF. You could use the RUU then take the ota. Remember if you choose to do this it will wipe everything including twrp and root so make backups.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=74636
Edit just looked and ther is 1.80.771 available which is newer than the one you are on.

You need not only the stock recovery and boot image but also an untouched stock system image if you want to take the OTA.
If you don't have backups of all of these, then start with your option 2 and download the OTA to your phone and locate where it's downloaded. From there you can install the rom portion of the update with TWRP (see the faq in the twrp thread) and flash the firmware portion manually using fastboot.
Else you can go the RUU route as mentioned above.

How to downgrade from WW4.21.40.223 to WW_2.12.40.11?

Hi,
I have the flickering screen problem with my phone and it is out of warranty so i can't send it back to repair.
I tried upgrading to the latest firmware, tried factory reset, wipe cache, installing google launcher, enabling the HW thing in developer mode and nothing worked.
I read that WW_2.12.40.11 version doesn't have the screen problem and i want to try it, but i wanna be sure i'm doing it the right way.
1) I read that i can't just put the wanted firmware in my phone and install the update but i must also flash the matching recovery to flash the wanted version - is it true?
2) Can i downgrade straight from my version to the lower one because i think the other way around, i need to have higher version for upgrading to the higher version i now have.
3) Where can i find the adb driver for this?
Thanks

You can downgrade via ext sd card using the downgrade version from asus > 52.20.40.196 LP which when installed , reboots to 2.20.40.196LP
When putting WW-UL- 52.20.40.196.zip.zip ,make sure to put an extra .zip on the end in file manager or in sd from pc first and reboot.
If you then put WW-UL-2.12.40.11-user.zip.zip (extra .zip) on sd or in file manager . You might get that to give you notification after a reboot too. Although i have not tested to downgrade that far .
You must use the first 52.20 blah blah fw to initially downgrade first though. Ignore this and you are liable to brick. Here >

OK, it's weird, i did flash the 2.12.40.11 recovery.img to the phone using adb and it was said in the console that the process completed, but now when i enter recovery mode it still shows me 4.21.40.223 version.

OK, I did downgrade with your method and it works great, but when i try to downgrade fro that version to the version i want to try i get error that i cant install the package over the existing newer version.
Just to inform.

If you want to downgrade to such an old version, find the .raw file of that version (search here on XDA) and flash it via Asus Flash Tool.

If you have all the img partitions you can always try installing via fastboot commands but i really recommend using a raw with Asus Flash Tool...

Hi, thanks i'l try that.
does it matter in what order i flash this 3 files?
Edit: If i already flashed the ROM can i just flash the boot.img and droidboot.img or do i need to do the whole process including flashing the ROM again?

Is your screen flickering problem like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRuxTefNcKw
If its like that I was told its a LCD hardware problem which gets fixed by replacing LCD.

Update:
Well, I installed firmware 2.12.40.11 and it worked fine for several days but then the screen started to flicker again.
i started to update the devices with OTA updates and then i saw that in firmware WW_2.20.40.174 the screen didn't flicker.
i had further updates and then the screen started to flicker again.
i tried to flash recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img but not the device only enters fastboot mode but when i try to enter normal boot or recovery mode, it only comes back to fast boot mode.
any suggestion what should i do to unbrick the phone?
Thanks

Great post!
I still have to rebrand and update to emui8.
Looks like a huge job.

I'm using this rom since 3 weeks ago and is so smooth and daily driver.
PD: Would be nice if you reference the original post of @Askuccio_DROID on P8 Lite forum:
[ROM] [PIE 9.0.0_r10] [OFFICIAL] PixysOS for Huawei Hi6250
Thanks for sharing here

After installing the ROM, you can easily get into bootloader by selecting bootloader during the reboot option in twrp. It's a bit easier than trying to get the buttons & timing right to get into bootloader to flash the stock recovery.

Hi sir thank you for this guide always wanted to flash this pixy os but no detailed instructions for pur device..
Im just a newbie here..
Can you help me find the link for the recovery for my device.
im on BLL-L22?
anyone pls help me

BLL-L22 ? You mean stock recovery? Are you on stock EMUI 8? India? If you have update.app u can easily extract it. But if you can't then I will do it for you once the download finishes.

I always find buttons easy. But yeah you can do that as well. I guess whatever suits you.

Oh man....I think I need to rebrand first for this then get the emui 8 im still running on emui 5...im from the Philippines..
so the stock recovery should be on the updater.app the ill just extract that file then I need to look for "recovery.img"?
is that how its done?

Well first you need to update to EMUI 8. You will probably have to download Indian or China version of EMUI 8 from Firmware Finder. I suggest China. Once downloaded just rebrand/update. Now in the update.zip you will find an update.app it is around 2-3 GB. Download Huawei Firmware Extractor and then extract Recovery_ramdis.img That's it. Now flash it normally.
Reading your post I conclude you are on EMUI 5 correct? What is your model number? It might help with the rebranding.

Is the moble metwork standby battery drain bug in this rom?

Also recovery is flashed through fastboot using either powershell or command prompt through your PC
Go-to the above link and download HWOTA and the three update files. Extract HWOTA to the C Drive of your PC. Rename them as suggested in thread. Now transfer the files to Download folder inside HWOTA 7 folder. Now boot your phone into Bootloader and connect to the PC. Now run update.bat it will flash TWRP recovery. Once it says waiting for device to boot into TWRP, disconnect the device and hold Power & Volume Up to boot into TWRP. Once in there reconnect to Computer and press enter twice.
Now select:
Update from-> using script-> change location-> BLN-AL20. It will flash OEM-Info and then ask for your bootloader unlock code and continue. Now wait patiently for it to finish. Once flashing is complete select to keep Bootloader unlocked.
Upon first boot you won't have network signal. Solution is in the linked thread but Don't ignore it and fix signal first then after that flash Pixys OS by following OP.
Now to extract Stock Recovery follow these:
Extract the main update.zip
Download Huawei Update Extractor from XDA. Search for it.
Launch Huawei Update Extractor and go to Settings and disable first option. Now press three dots to browse and navigate to extracted folder and select Update.app
Double click on Recovery_Ramdis.img and extract it to desktop. You will get animage file and another one. Delete the other one. Now flash image file as you would flash TWRP. If you need more help, Just ask.

One question, can I transition from Resurrection Remix Oreo? Or do I have to flash EMUI 8 again?

Hello,
I am using an Honor 6X model number BLN-L21 running Emui 5.0.1.
Phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
Since is unlocked OTA updates are no longer working so I am stuck on 5.0.1.
If I understood correctly I have first to upgrade to Emui 8.0 stock fw and then pass to this custom rom.
Could you please write me a small recap/tutorial I can follow to jump my phone in Emui 8?
Thanks,
Andrea.

Yes you can but to be on the safe side I would advise to restore EMUI 8 first. Though you can go directly if you wish.
