Hi,
Below are the steps to rollback to Marshmallow from Nougat. I've only tested it on BLN-L22 so I don't know if it works with other variants.
Your bootloader would be locked. However, you can unlock again using the old unlock code.
You can find firmware of your version @ Honor Official Site
Download the Marshmallow firmware from here Honor India Official Support
Unzip it and place the dload folder in the sdcard (internal storage wont work)
Power off the device.
Press Volume Down + Volume Up + Power key to log into Huawei software upgrade
Let it finish. Now installation is done. But now when you will boot, it will bootloop and go to Huawei ercovery. Simply select the shutdown option
Once the device is off, press Volume Up + Power. This will take you to Huawei Recovery
Wipe data and Wipe Cache
Restart. You are back to MarshMallow
Kindly do the above at your own risk. It worked for me, but it may brick for you.
Edit : User @honor6xak was able to rollback after wiping the system using TWRP and following above steps. If there is no system, there would be no firmware for Honor to overwrite. It would be as good as flashing fresh.
Method 2.
1. Make a nandroid backup (complete backup) and save it somewhere safe. Just in case things get messy.
2. Download the official firmware (Marshmallow) from the Honor official site.
3. Extract the dload folder from the firmware and put it into an sdcard (physical one).
4. Reboot to TWRP and wipe data + system. Twrp will warn you about wiping system. Once you do it. Power off the device.
5. Press volume up + volume down + power this will take you to Huawei recovery and will auto install the firmware if the folder is there in sdcard.
This is a tad bit risky but if you have nandroid backup then you can be on a safe side. But still do it only if you are sure. I don't have money to pay if you Sue me
The above link is for the Indian firmware for the US firmware (L24) you'll have to go to the us website. I got a little confused earlier trying to download it, just thought I'd give a heads up to anybody else. I'd link it but I had to create a new account as my old one is apparrently tied to an email I don't remember.

Yes, that's the reason I specified the BLN number. You don't need to login to have the firmware download. If you can give the link we can update the post.
Edit : I've updated site for Official firmware of various regions in the main post
It's official mm r ( this is root mobiles or unrooting mobiles ) any virus problem

If you flash these official version you'll get unrooted and your bootloader would be locked again. But you can unlock the bootloader again and root also.
Since it is from official website I doubt it will have any virus
So hacky but... you can find the 'rollback package' here http ://www, hihonor, ]com/us/support/details/index,html?[DOC_ID=94205] and the firmware here http ://www, hihonor, [com/us/support/details/index.html?][DOC_ID=94205]
Just remove the spaces, brackets and replace periods with commas.

Hello bro,
I several times tried the method that you mentioned in your thread using a memory card but it always failed. I'm very curious how it worked for you. Right now I unlocked and rooted my Honor 6x BLN-L22.
I just want to know if your phone was unlocked when you tried this method.
If yes I'll give it a try. It might work this time.
Thank you

You can do one thing I don't know if it work but you can try it. Download firmware finder from play store. Search for the latest nougat firmware then select download. There would be two files 1. Update.zip 2. BLNxxxx some name. Download the second file. Then flash it with twrp.
Now do the procedure as I described in the first post. When I did the roll back I was on the unofficial nougat version.
I'll search for some other method. Sorry it didn't work for you.

Thanks a lot bro. I'll try that.
It worked for me on my BLN-L24, rolling it back to I could exchange it. However I had to do a couple other steps first to get it to work, so here's my full steps that worked for me:
1. If you have twrp or another custom recovery, flash it back to stock.
1a. To find the stock recovery I had to get it from the zip file here since I'm a dumbass and didn't make a backup: If you have twrp or another custom recovery, flash it back to stock.
2. If you have a custom bootloader, flash it back to stock.
3. Download and extract the stock rom. Flashing it from zip will not work.
4. Copy the UPDATE.app to /sdcard/dload/ (not a physical sdcard, if that's what's confusing you.
5. Turn the device all the way off.
6. Press and hold volume up, and volume down, then press and hold power until the phone starts booting, immediately release it once you see something on the screen.
It should now 'update' your phone back to EMUI 4.1.

What did you do that you are stuck at TWRP?
Tell the history then we can suggest something
Download the update_data_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip and place it on sdcard.
You can then flash it with TWRP
i was on emui 5 nougat tried to install arise it did installed fine and later the camera was not opening and restarting device didnt help .... hence i went ahead and tried to flash the nougat again with twrp as i didnt know it ll be messed up like this

You cannot directly flash the 4.1 file on your nougat. If you want to do that then you have to use the procedure I gave in the first page.
The link I gave is for nougat version. Basically, when I had a similar problem like you I flashed the 733mb file and my phone was able to boot.
Wipe data in TWRP
Flash the 733mb file
Wipe cache
I hope it works

I had trouble updating my Honor 6X (BLN-L21) after I rooted it, so I searched the whole xda to gain some information. Finally I made it, so I thought I could share this information with you guys, hope it helps, but I do not take responsibility if not, as you may have already heard, the Honor 6X (like every Kirin device) is very easy to brick.
- If everything is gone alright you should keep all of your data, apps and settings.
- If there is a big update, like from MM to N you maybe should backup all your stuff and relock the bootloader to update (big updates can relock frp so you can't unlock your bootloader then a rollback is the only way.
Successfully tried from:
B360 to B365
B365 to B367
Short Version (for expert users):
1. uninstall busybox bynaries and the Xposed Framework
2. uninstall magisk (inside the app)
3. flash stock recovery.img (of your actual firmware)
4. flash stock boot.img (of your actual firmware)
5. make OTA update (Reminder: safe update file)
6. flash twrp again and root
7. you are all done
Detailed Version:
#cmd commands#
1. backup your system over TWRP #adb reboot recovery# and do a backup there (for safety reasons)
2. #fastboot reboot#
3. uninstall busybox bynaries and the Xposed Framework(not just the app) (if you have it)
4. uninstall magisk (in app over "complete Uninstall button")
5. restart to bootloader #adb reboot bootloader#
6. flash stock recovery #fastboot flash recovery recovery.img# [use the recovery out of your actual firmware, how to extract is explained in the Forum I added at the end
7. flash stock boot #fastboot flash boot boot.img# [also use the extracted version of your actual package]
8. #fastboot reboot#
9. download update over OTA Update app (System update) in stock system. -> If the "System updater" app does not provide a Full version of the update package, the update could get stopped at 8% saying it could not verify the update, if so, just take the step to the error and reboot, if you then search for an update again, the "System updater" should now show you a Full version of the update package. like "BLN-L21C432B365-FULL"
10. you should safe that update files out of the HwOUC folder, so you can extract the recovery.img and boot.img later before you restart your device to do the update, because the system deletes these files after successful update
11. update over OTA Update app (System update) in stock system
12. restart to bootloader (#adb restart bootloader#)
13. flash twrp again #fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img# [use the OpenKirin twrp edition (the official leads to a bootloop] -> [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413[/URL]
14. Important is not to boot to system after flashing TWRP, exactly like as you installed it the first time. So you do #fastboot reboot# and then Vol down + lock
15. backup your system over TWRP (for safety reasons)
16. #adb reboot recovery#
17. flash Magisk zip in TWRP again
18. reboot in twrp
19. you are ready to go with the latest stock rom
How to extract boot.img and recovery.img out of your actual firmware is explained here:

This work only with packages like "xxxB360-FULL" or even with smaller downloaded packages that just updates some files? And, if I choose to do this with the FULL package do i have to re modify all the settings that i use actually?

I already tried it with the FULL package (edited the Guide btw.) you keep all your settings and stuff like before.
If it doesn't show you the FULL package just try the update until it fails, the system than will show you a FULL version of the update after the restart and research. That worked for me so far.
Hope I could help

Finally i found some time to dedicate on updating my phone, and I'm happy to say that it worked. I made from B360 to B365 and from B365 to B367, both worked at first shot. The only thing that i just can't understand is why the OTA package downloaded yesterday worked immediately, while the same B365-FULL package downloaded a month ago, copied on PC before starting it and later started didn't. With stock recovery and boot images obviously. I tried to start it later but nothing, i tried dload method with the update.app but neither that worked. Probably the OTA downloaded creates a sort of signature that can't be recreated that easily, if the same package fails through dload method... But what matters most is that now I'm on B367, protected with the latest security patch. Sorry for the late answer, time is hard to find... Thanks

I was on rooted BLN-L24C5678B360, and I want to take the OTA 365, so I flashed stock recovery and boot, reboot into system and started the update, but it failed, afterwards the phone stuck at booting up screen.
I have to boot into fastboot and run "fastboot oem relock [my unlock code]" to relock it, then followed by a factory reset. But when it comes to update, it failed again. Upon reboot, it stuck again with the message "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly."
What did I do wrong?
Update: recovered with the official rollback software to 6.0.

You can try full firmware for b365 if available via dload.
Unlock your bootloader and it will boot to twrp and then boot normally.
My phone has unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and is rooted with magisk. Got the OTA for (global) 9.5.4.0 last night - it downloads/de-crypts ok, reboots into TWRP, and then fails to flash. I also tried to flash manually via TWRP by locating the downloaded file, still fails. During the night, it rebooted itself (to try again I suppose), and my alarm didn't go off.
So here I am, late in work, wasting more "work time" to ask you for a possible solution :angel:
Go back to original miui recovery then you can update your miui successfully. After update,reflash twrp and magisk.

Sounds easy, but I don't know how to do that. Could you point me in the right direction?
you can't flash an OTA with TWRP
Flash recovery img with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then boot your phone
settings->about phone->system update->update
it will get in origin miui recovery and update system automatically
after update finished,reflash twrp and magisk
Thank you very much @jimandy60
With all the respect though, I would prefer downloading the file from a popular location. Is there any way to find this hosted somewhere else, maybe by Xiaomi?

Hello!
I got the same problem but instead to come here and ask for help I tried to solve myself. I downloaded the lastest TWRP version and the device was not going into recovering mode. Then I installed again the previous one without results. I downloaded the TWRP app from Play Store and trying to solve I made wipe data, cache and I am not sure but I think also choose wipe system. Now my phone is stuck on the fastboot screen. Does not start. Using ADB I installed back the stck recovery but the problem remains. Somebody can help me please?
reflash the full rom?
download&unzip full rom package,get in fastboot mode and run flash_all.bat

Does anyone have an idea when the S7 active potentially might see Oreo via OTA update?
Is it hard to install on your own via root or whatever?

you can already use stock recovery to flash it... Just make sure you flash the previous OTA updates until BRB5 are the last 4 characters of your baseband in settings -> about -> software info
I'm running the first oreo listed on that link on my S7 Active, not sure if the others will work, but once you are on BRB5, just copy the oreo zip to the root of your MICRO SD card, reboot into stock recovery, select install zip from sd card, and select the file... to do this, you cannot be rooted, if your system status shows as custom, flash nougat with odin... if you need it the odin files as well asall previous OTA updates are listed in the website as well. Just remove /OTA/Oreo from the end of the url
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/OTA/Oreo/
let me know how it goes, i'm happy with it, it has the S8 style launcher and app icons, and the new AOD, but unfortunately, no live infinity wallpapers :/

There is no s7 active oreo rom in ODIN flashable format available yet, but you can update by flashing nougat, and flashing two ota flashable zip files in stock recovery. If you go to this website, and click the blue download button, you can extract the downloaded file with 7zip, or winrar, and flash the md5 files in ODIN, and you will then be on stock android nougat. You can then copy this zip file to your phone's external micro sd card, without extracting it, and use stock recovery mode (turn off, then volume up + home + power) to "apply update from sd card", or if you don't have a micro sd card, click "apply update from adb" and look up "how to use adb sideload" on google. Once it's done updating, do the same thing with this zip file, using stock recovery and "apply update from sd card" or using "apply update from ADB", and you will be on android 8.0 oreo. you can always use the first file you downloaded to go back to stock nougat if you don't like oreo, but it's working great for me!

It should work, make sure you have the usb drivers installed, the LATEST VERSION of odin (older versions may get stuck), and make sure your phone is in download mode (hold down power + volume down + home until a blue screen appears. click volume up). Then, open odin, connect your phone, and add the four .tar.md5 files extracted from the link you quoted. It works for me, but if it doesn't, try this file instead. let me know how it goes

Oh, i see. You're on bootloader version 3. In that case, there is most likely nothing you can do to fix the phone. Just wait patiently for an odin flashable version of oreo for the s7 active, which should have bootloader 3 out of the box, and that should work. At this point, it is simply a waiting game. I really can't do anything for you, wish I could, but I unfortunately do not have the knowledge to modify bootloader versions yet. So, patience is key. Cheers!

Try flashing this in the AP slot in odin to unlock the aboot partition, then flash the nougat from the link i gave before, using just the AP file from the firmware in the AP slot, and don't use the BL, CP, OR CSC slots

I tried it before, does not work, either, actually I tried everything on the site.lol
i have an idea.... i'll try taking a backup of my working oreo installation and converting it into a flashable tar file for odin...
can you tell me what error the phone shows when you try to flash the nougat? does it have a sw rev check fail or secure check fail?

sw rev check fail and only fail in BL part

then just don't flash the BL, flash everything else, let me know if it works

i realize now that the issue with my idea is... root... root is not achieved on oreo yet... and the firmware.mobi website upload to dropbox doesn't work, just refreshes after clicking start upload. So i'm stuck. But, if somebody could provide an image i could flash to root oreo on the s7 active, i will be able to make an odin .tar.md5
but i can not without root :/
One other thing you could try is extracting the ota zip for oreo you previously had, take the boot.img from it, compress the boot.img into a tar file, and then try flashing that with odin, in the AP slot. let me know how it goes, my phone is in a boot loop cause i tried an older root method :/
luckily, i used an earlier oreo OTA file, so i'm still on BL2

Ok, after lots of digging through the ota zip, i believe i may have one step towards a solution.
But i need you to check it, as if it does work, it will update my phone to bootloader 3, which i would rather not do, since you already have bootloader 3, and it can't worsen the situation
now that i think about it, i could try flashing this on my currently installed marshmallow, after rooting, then try making the odin .tar.md5, but with the bootloader 3, so you can downgrade back to marshmallow. what do you think?
Try flashing the attached bootloader file, which i made for bootloader 3:
let me know if it works, thanks.. i might have a method for the system, too
EDIT NO STOP! i forgot a bin file, fixing now
EDIT 2 OK, SHOULD BE ALL GOOD NOW!
EDIT 3 I'M BRICKED NOW, but did see the new bootloader android logo at the bottom after flashing, then black screen qualcomm 9008

you can already use stock recovery to flash it... Just make sure you flash the previous OTA updates until BRB5 are the last 4 characters of your baseband in settings -> about -> software info
I'm running the first oreo listed on that link on my S7 Active, not sure if the others will work, but once you are on BRB5, just copy the oreo zip to the root of your MICRO SD card, reboot into stock recovery, select install zip from sd card, and select the file... to do this, you cannot be rooted, if your system status shows as custom, flash nougat with odin... if you need it the odin files as well asall previous OTA updates are listed in the website as well. Just remove /OTA/Oreo from the end of the url
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/OTA/Oreo/
let me know how it goes, i'm happy with it, it has the S8 style launcher and app icons, and the new AOD, but unfortunately, no live infinity wallpapers :/
remember to hit thanks

Hey I'm already running BRB5, do i need to rename the zip to update.zip or anything like that? also how do I send it to the root of the sd card, I just copied it into the regular file, does it need to be sent through a computer?

Oh that sucks, is there any way to flash it back to original stock through adb? I think I'll just wait for the software update to come through the carrier, I don't wanna risk that
AND THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY!! I was minutes away from flashing CRD4, you saved me big time

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.

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.

Shows you which error?
Did you try to install it via local update?
Anyway, your best bet is to install TWRP and flash the CN ROM through TWRP.
Alternatively, use miflash tool in the unofficial unbrick tool to flash the CN firmware via edl mode
Nubia package error
Bro when I purchased the phone the software was 3.16 global,then I changed it to 4.16 with local update,but I was trying the same thing with the Chinese software when I go to the local update and I press the install button the mobile shut down and goes to the software installation but after 10% or something it shows package error and just reboot it self.i don't know what to do now. sorry my English is not good

Use TWRP; follow the link below, root your device then flash CN ROM from TWRP.
Back up your data cos flashing TWRP will wipe everything.
Also, when installing CN, get version 6.23
All the best

There you are. Its the 6.23 version of the cn rom
This directs to the 5s version but both the 5s and 5g versions of this rom are identical. ( Md5 checksum proves its the same file)
Flash from recovery. Or through TWRP

Otg refers to a external usb device you connect to the phone. If you have the update.zip on the root of the internal memory it should show up.
If it does not. You should use the root without unlocking bootloader tutorial to install TWRP. The zip will flash from there with no problems.
