EDIT: Rollback to MM for Honor 6x is not that easy, it needs a firmware file called rollback package so I am sorry if somebody got hurt by my this post.
Roll back is quit easy, just download the B130 firmware from the first post of this thread. And follow one of these procedures either 1 or 2
How to Install ANY Stock Firmware on ANY Honor device, (But in this case we are talking about Honor 6x BLN-L21C185)
Method 1
1) First, download Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM for Honor 6x from above and extract it, you will a file named update.app.
2) Now create a folder dload in the root/main folder of your SD card and place/copy paste the update.app file in that folder.
3) Now go to the phone settings–>update and press the menu button.
4) Now select choose Local update (If it is not available than follow the Method No. 2).
5) It will show the update.app file now tap on it to start the installation process.
6) Wait until the installation process is complete and then reboot your device., you have latest firmware
7) Done.
Method 2
1) Download Stock ROM for Honor 6x from above and extract it.
2) Now create a folder dload in the root/main folder of your SD card and place/copy paste the update.app file in that folder.
3) Now turn off your device.
4) Now press “Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button” together. The update process will start automatically.
5) Now wait for some time to complete the process.
6) Done.
This is the easiest way to Download/Downgrade and install Stock Marshmallow Firmware on your Honor 6x. If you have any questions comment below.
Your phone should have at least 85% battery life/charge.
Press thanks if i helped you.

Do you mean rollback package has something special in it? I thought they are the same firmwares only named differently.

Yes. Rollback package is of few kbs to few MBs. Actual firmware is of GBs. Rollback package is needed to prepare your phone to be able to successfully rolled back.

Where can i find the rollback package for the bln-l21 (middel east)? I upgraded to nougat via firmware finder.

Hope so the device is pre installed with b130 update.
People who are using this version confirm it.
Note: B122 doesn't have VoLTE. VoLTE is introduced at B130 update.

I'm on b122. What are the changes in b132? Thanks a lot!

[edit]
This update should enable VoLTE, update security patches and improve dual-screen.

You should have gone for the Global version...in Chinese variant there is no play store...I had to do all these manually and took couple of days as all done but contact sync took was still and issue but eventually fixed it. Its Chinese new year time so you may get delayed response.

Yes, we need to wait a response. i will tell you how to debrand it when the chinese girl answer me
Also, very low headphone volume, 3,5mm output. Developers only think in how loud the music is today and they apply a volume lock on ALL variants. They dont think some records are quieter .

Thanks !!! I'm at 4 now. Still some hesitation.

I got my phone from Amazon.de and the hardware version is the same, so I could probably update.
However, I have unlocked Bootloader. Probably why the update does not show in the update app. It will be the first time to update like this. Does it affect bootloader lock status? It will remove root but that can be reapplied later.

I had it working before also in Honor 8 B385. OldDroid was saying something about flashing a file that would keep the device from being encrypted at boot. But I can't find it anywhere.

Rooted with Magisk today and works seamless.
But I could not pass SafetyNet check.
First time I flashed a zip to remove dm-verity and it ran into bootloop. Make sure you don't do that

Follow that thread linked above. The upgrade works only through eRecovery

Hey, Folks!
I recently switched from P9 to P20 (L29). Now that Erecovery supports Pie/Emui 9 I want to install Pie with it. According to this german page I have to choose the "correct firmware package". With a quick look into FirmwareFinder I found two similar named and "approved" firmwares but they have different sizes. 3.804 GB vs 3.823 GB. What firmware should I take?
Thank you in advance.
