Blocked with the firmware - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello mates,
I am a french boy, so please apologize me if their is some mistake ^^
I explored the forum, and i didn't find a working solution.
I recieve my honor 8 pro yesterday, and i wanted to root the phone, with the TWRP and unlocked bootloader. The both worked properly !
I download the rom according to my phone (DUK-L09C432B183) on the honor website, if a problem appear and the problem come xD
So I had to flash this downloaded rom. I did a full wipe with TWRP (data,system,vendor,....) but after the build was : nrd90m test-keys and I don't have the Huawai update in my phone now..
I tried the method described by OldDroid and -=MoRpH=- : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/oeminfo-c432-t3625886, but their is no changement after the reboot recovery
And when i try in the Huawai eRecovery i have "Gettting package info failed"
So after 1 days working on the phone, I have no idea now...
Thanks mate

If you only wanted to root, why did you flash a firmware?

I was in B130 at the beggining, and I did the update with the Huawai update in the phone. I rooted the B183 to try and this worked.
But I didn't wanted to have the files of the B130 and the B183.
So I decided to do a full wipe and flash the B183 only with the update.app and after root this rom. That was greedy I think..

Did you try a full flash again?

I did and that worked with the -=MoRpH= rom, but i don't know why I can't flash unapproved OTAs

Maybe you can try the nocheck recoveries by OldDroid,

I have my answer, I was with the B120, and can't do the update to the B183 BY THE PHONE UPADTER ! Don't know if it work with the rom from Firmware Finder !
I had to flash the B130 full BY THE PHONE and after i was able to flash the B183 full (from the phone and from FF, that's the same rom)

MediaPad M2 Installed wrong UPDATE.zip

Hello together,
i got a MediaPad M2 801-W. It was running on Android 5.1.1.
So i just downloaded the 6.0 image for it. BUT i downloaded the M2-802Lxxx Version....
I dident know there are differne version of the Tablet....
The Updater just finished fine and the Tablet just started just normal BUT it is now random crashing and restarting the Os.
So i tried to install the correct version back but now the Updater in the os has no Local seetting to select the update.zip.
In Recovery the Updater works but dosent update the correct version.
It is verifying the update and than says "Software install failed".
Is there an other way to update the correct update to the tablet?
Sorry about my bad english....

Flash this in stock recovery through dload method:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4N3JLTnNDYzBEYTg/view?usp=sharing
Then you need the stock 801W rom, extract the update.app and flash it through dload. Then it should work and flash back to stock.
Thank you but your file has only 21kb is this right?
When i put the file in the dload directorie and boot with power + vol up + down the installer is verifying something installs it to 36% and aborts again. =(

Okey for those who did the same **** like me:
First download http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=74723&version=273368&siteCode=tw
Than downgrade to this version.
Now you can update to the corect 801-w Android 6.0 version.
Me too install wrong update I have MediaPad M2 801-L, But i downloaded 6.0 the M2-801Wxxx version and got a MediaPad M2 801-W after install update.zip. Updater in the os has no Local setting to select the update.zip. I try downgrade to 5.1.1 M2-801Wxxx version by three buttons, flash stock recovery. But on choose language button "next" not working. Continue try install different stock flash...
Sorry about my bad english....
Just what I needed.
You literally saved my tablet. I had the exact issues (stupidly installed the 801L Marshmallow update on my 801W, which resulted in the non stop rebooting every 5 minutes). Nothing was working and no other roms were being accepted until I came across your post. I made this account just to thank you! The tablet was brand new and was lying boxed and unused for 3 years, so thought I'd use it
Just in the unlikely event anybody else faces this problem, just wanna add one clarification to Isipisi281's original post; to get the first step interim update to happen, make sure you unzip the update file first, then find the update.app file and paste that and it's accompanying folder into the dload folder in your directory, or else the update will fail. The rest is clockwork.
And PS, the M2 runs amazingly after the marshmallow update. Noticeably smoother, snappier and even more frugal with added android features. Highly recommended.
Thanks again!

I don't have the file anymore. Maybe someone in this thread still has it? I'm pretty sure is was the downgrade script to be able to downgrade.

Yeah, welcome to Huawei world. They don't make it easy to go back to stock on the older devices.

Software install failed

My phone says I have a new update which is the 742MB B140 update that has been out for a while now. But I can't install it for some reason. I tried flashing the three zip files via TWRP and then I tried it with the stock recovery extracted from the UPDATE.APP from the B140 firmware update. Everytime it fails and says "Failed to check update files". In TWRP it gives different reasons depending on the zip I flash first. Is this because I unlocked my bootloader? I am new to Huawei or Honor and things are a bit more complicated with this one than I'm used to.

If you want B130 I think it's better to contact honor, they may give you a direct link to it (just mention you want FULL-OTA)
Yes better to contact them , they wont give you link but they will ask your imei and they push your update.

Here's a screenshot of about screen.
Proof of root on oreo
Hi.Can I update my firmware if bootloader is unlocked and root is installed?If so, how?
You want to upgrade to oreo? Or just update your current firmware?
Just wondering.Are phones updated when the bootloader is unlocked?
Yes you can update phones with unlock bootloader's, if you want official updates you need the stock recovery, the twrp flashable roms i made will give you stock recovery.
Where is the stock recovery to take?
Flash any of the twrp stock roms i made and it will give you stock recovery.
Download firmware from the official website of asus, install it via twrp
and I get stock recovery with the new firmware???You don't know when to do an unofficial unlock of the bootloader?

Hi. I flashed the stock rom you uploaded because I accidentally lost mine... aside from audio/video lag issues, audio from calls were also unable to hear. Will patiently wait for your stock rom with firmware files. thaaaaanks
Go into recovery and flash the official oreo zip this will flash firmware files and fix no audio/video lag issues.

If you flash my oreo zip with no firmware and boot it up, this will give you stock recovery, which you will need to flash the stock oreo zip , and ofcourse you will need to reflash twrp after.

Messed up my phone and now I'm really confused

So I recently got my honor 7x and I got the bootloader unlock code today. I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and downloaded a custom ROM like I would on my other devices. I'm on EMUI5 and I assumed flashing an android 8.1 ROM would be possible so I wiped my internal storage. After that I tried flashing the rom in TWRP, which gave me some error about the zip not being in the right format. Then I flashed the rom in ADB but the device wouldn't boot up. I'm sitting here with a formatted phone with TWRP on it and a huge headache.
Could someone please help me and tell me how to revert back to stock or how to get a rom back on my device? I have the BND-L21 variant and I was on EMUI5. I'd really appreciate it because I'm kind of freaking out rn.

If your still on 5.1 you can't update like that you will have to perform the manual update found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/development/manual-update-to-oreo-beta-emui-8-bnd-t3764509 I think those files can work for your device but try to get the official Oreo update files and proceed

Can a global rom with twrp and rooted be updated thru ota?

I've unlocked bootloader of my chinese redmi note 5 pro and flashed a global rom on it then updated to global v9.6.3.0, after that I installed twrp thru adb and root with magisk. Now, will I be able to update this to a new global version thru ota?
No. You can not

Is there a workaround to do so?
You can comeback to recovery stock or download update file to storage , boot to twrp then flash update zip. After update , masgik will not work

So the official update zip will work on twrp? I thought it's not possible on a custom recovery. Anyway I'll try that, thanks.
Work fine. But if you flash full rom , not update pack, all data will be earse , mi recovery comeback.
