Honor 7X EMUI 8 Oreo Download Link

Hi guys,
I'm using Honor 7x BND-AL10C675 (Indian). I wanted to get back to stock as emui 8 stable rolled out. I was running emui 8 beta and I was stuck so I flashed the stock recovery, re locked bootloader, and downloaded the EMUI 8 update.app file from "Huawei firmware finder". Now, I created the "dload" folder in sd card and pressing both volume buttons and power button, I tried to install the firmware.
It says "The update failed" at 5% and I tried it many times. Maybe it's a mismatch or incompatible. Now, I can't go back to my twrp backup as stock recovery was installed. I can't flash recovery or rom using fastboot as it requires unlocked bootloader. To unlock bootloader, I need to enable "OEM UNLOCK" in settings and I can't boot into system as everything is wiped when I relocked the bootloader. So I'm basically stuck.
The only things I can do now is to install the stock firmware using the dload method. However, I need the right update.app file so I can install using install the firmware. I can't use Nougat file as I guess we can't go back to Nougat from Oreo. So I need EMUI 8 firmware BND AL10C675.
I can't find it anywhere, so Could someone miraculously post a download link or the file here? What should I be doing?

you need this?

Thats' so fast!! I really thank you for coming at rescue for a fellow XDA member. Thanks for the link and I couldn't find the link myself really. Do you have any idea which file I should download? there is one full Ota MF and other two are just Ota MF. Maybe full Ota mf? I guess I downloaded the firmware from the app from these guys or website only on my android phone. I will do it now on my laptop now. Let's hope it works!! Thanks again

I downloaded it but the update failed again. I guess the file is not the right one for this model but I don't know why it's listed as the right model. I thought I could install stock Emui 8 Rom by downloading from "firmware finder" so I just locked myself out of all the options now. Such a shame

I'm not positive on the correct DLOAD method
I think you extract the update.zip to dload folder on sdcard.
The whole zip package, not just the update.app

Did you do this guide?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240

I followed all the steps and I guess it's more complicated for me. I was stuck with an older build number although I changed different ROMS. Maybe because of that the update doesn't authenticate and fails to install the firmware. I don't know but also it maybe that the firmware isn't for my exact model. I just don't know and my phone is as good as bricked and I"m taking it to service centre.
What's more hurting is that, I Locked myself out of all the options. I mean I have the bootloader unlock code, Twrp backup but I just went through a one way route so confidently that it would work and I locked bootloader, flashed stock recovery. It's such a shame that HUAWEI DOESN'T RELEASE THE STOCK FIRMWARE EVEN AFTER ALMOST 6 MONTHS OF THE HONOR 7X RELEASE. If they had the stock firmware available just like Xiaomi, I wouldn't have had all this trouble.
I don't know why no one raises the voice. I really hate Huawei for this and I'll make sure I won't recommend these phones to anyone.

Unlocking bootloader

Guys I'm using redmi note5pro (India) running on miui 9.5.19...I want to unlock bootloader..
please anyone tell me if i unlock bootloader then warranty will void or not??
And there is any impact of anti rollback if i unlock bootloader..
I just want to install google camera..pls rply guys...
thanks

I unlocked mine on 9.5.19 itself. So you can do it even if you're anti 4. Just don't flash any firmware update zip. :good:
There's a thread for all about anti FAQ I suggest you read that. For warranty if you go to service center with stock then you're good otherwise they'll charge. If you go totally bricked then there're 50-50 chances.

Even I also want to know this. Somebody, please help us.

I'm on 9.5.13. I unlocked bootloader rebooted to setup ROM again (unlocking will factory reset your ROM as well as wipe your internal storage). After setting up, rebooted into fastboot and then followed the TWRP recovery installation process (for ARB3) and flashed then booted into TWRP (followed this but these won't work for you as you're in ARB4) from fastboot and continued with flashing lazyflasher, magisk 16.0 and then C2API zip (to enable camera2 API for Gcam) and reboot. After reboot, installed the Arnova's GCAM port (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk). its working fine for rear and for front, I had to enable 'Use classic Smartburst" and then front too worked.
Edit: For Op's case, only TWRp installation process will be different and rest all would be same. Make sure you never downgrade your miui rom only upgrade otherwise it will brick. If someday, you move to custom rom make sure to remeber the miui version you were on so that in case you plan to come back, you'll have to flash the same miui rom (so keep the last miui rom zip somewhere in case you plan to go back)
Hope this helps!

[Guide/Discussion] EMUI 9 China BETA versions

Hi guys
So recently there was some uploads to Firmware Finder of some BETA's of EMUI 9 of China models BUT please be sure to read this before you try anything with this beta sofware.
I recently, about a week ago when the BETA came out I was really excited like maybe you are but I did a mess noone on this Forum could fix literally.
DO NOT FOLLOW ANY PROCEDURE OF THIS!
Now what I did was:
1. I unlocked both FRP and bootloader of my device.
2. I flashed TWRP recovery
3. I backup my oem-info (ANE-LX1C432) and copied it to my sd card
4. I flashed the oem-info of the chinese model (ANE-AL00) which I copied to my sd card
5. I flashed the Hurupdater with all necessary files from the Firmware Finder.
6. Rebooted phone and it booted normally.
7. Setup screen did not appear and EMUI 9 took me directly to the home screen, I had no google play services of course since it's a chinese ROM, almost no system apps but gestures were present and quite smooth and fast actually. The ROM was fast.
8. Went to Settings-->System-->Developer options-->OEM unlocking was gray which I found pretty weird but then I searched Google and in China they do not have that option on Developer settings so maybe that's why it was gray.
Anyway since this option was gray I thought (stupidly) that maybe after a factory reset the option would become changeable again. It didn't. At that time the phone did a factory reset and afterwords by bootloader become "Relocked" and FRP was "locked. At that time system was unbootable no matter what you try.
Tried multiple commands via fastboot but since FRP is locked you can't do anything that change the system, even the FRP unlock code I got which I payed for (20€) did not work (Not sure why either but I think it's because since my oem-info changed the IMEI was changed randomly or something like it). I thought the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" would work right? but nope, nothing allowed.
Second thing I tried was the dload packages of course. I tried all kinds of packages. Tried the one I installed, the ANE-AL00C01 (9.0.1.100) one. Didn't work as it is the same version. Tried to downgrade for an older EMUI 9 beta package like ANE-AL00C01 (9.0.1.41) and did not work either.
Packages above ^ were from the Firmware so nothing is signed by Huawei.
Then I tried signed packages both from this ANE-AL00 model and my model ANE-LX1C432 but nothing seemed to work.
Only thing I thought of was to flash motherboard firmware which I looked deep into the FCC certification tests you can find this on Google:
https://fccid.io/QISANE-LX1/Test-Report/BLE-Test-report-3742444
Which tells us the motherboard base software version for my model is ANE-LX1 8.0.0.41(SP1C900).
But we don't have access to it of course since it's motherboard official software from Huawei, so maybe only some official Huawei Repair Center have the right tools for this.
BUT, on easy firmware you can get it for 15€. Easy firmware is trusted and they do have an unofficial tool that can flash official motherboard software.
Now before I tried it, I sent my phone to warranty. And I gotta say, I was not very confident about it. I sent it for repair on 6 of February and I said the phone couldn't boot and I installed a beta version via Hicare app (this is how I maybe thought they could believe me), by the way the eRecovery was in chinese so I said I installed a chinese official beta from Huawei from Hicare XDDDDDDDDD
Do you know what they did? It was not an official Huawei Repair Center, although I do have one in my country, it was just one authorized by Huawei, they said the phone didn't boot as well OK, but then they just replaced the whole motherboard due to a IMEI issue, flashed the base firmware from EMUI 8.
After that I payed nothing since it was on warranty, got "a new phone" pretty much, charging port is new but battery is the same I think, and learned something interesting, NEVER FLASH CHINESE OEM-INFO's !!!!!!!!
But seriously, I'm an IT Technician and I thought I had so much luck here because if they knew what I did I would have to pay for the repair and quite a lot (just the motherboard is 200€ btw) !
Altough I was quite pissed cause why the fk wouldn't they just flashed the board software again? YIKES
Anyways, I'm happy, while I had no phone I trusted my old moto g 2014 (titan) with sailfish OS 3 and I then realised how much I want a fkin Sony Xperia X or XA2 so I can have
that best OS of all time and still have those nasty android apps
And if you need a guide for the correct installation of EMUI 9 Chinese beta , please contact @qouet or check his thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/development/port-nova3e-official-rom-to-ane-lx1-t3897076
I'm not sure how is it going but too have the gapps you gotta work a bit i guess,
People like me with a P20 Lite main phone, just wait for stable versions or flash european versions without changing oem-info's please Don't make the mistake I did and almost buy a new phone
Cheers to all!

I woulded have tried but since I can't flash or boot a twrp image you can't do much on those cases HwOTA relies on a TWRP recovery.

Hey
For now I only know that the feature is only present on Huawei Mate 20RS, Mate 20X and Mate 20 Pro due to higher capacity batteries, here's the official info:
https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/faq/have-you-tried-the-new-dark-interface-from-emui-9/
But maybe it will come eventually in the future for all Huawei phones with EMUI 9 as a standard feature but for now nope...

Redmi Note 8 Pro freezing in Android 10

Hi. I got a Redmi Note 8 Pro Global version and I updated it to Android 10 manually. Problem is I am getting random freezes everyday. I would like to go back to Android 9 because these freezing is very annoying and ruining my experience. I am not sure if this is related to MIUI or Android 10 itself. I've done factory reset and reset via recovery mode as well. Still the same. Are any instructions to go back to Android 9?
I've read in some forums that Android 10 has some issues even in pixel devices where if an app freezes, it brings down the whole OS. Mine freeze about 10 seconds, sometimes more. It's happening very randomly in different apps so it is very difficult to replicate.

use indian version android 10 which is on miui v11.0.2.0.
It works fluently without any problem but keep in mind that preloader and other safety file is for Android 9. If you use them before flashing anything in android 10. Then it might brick your device. Even magisk brick some person device in android 10. So be safe before doing modification in it. Until preloader and lk will be available for it.

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion but what if I want to go back to Android 9 Global version? Just want to back to previous version when I got it out of the box. I don't want to flash or use other region roms. Just want to go back to Android 9. Is there any available steps or instructions out there? Can't seem to find one.

You can easily go back to android 9 global version by flashing fastboot rom via fastboot. You can flash fastboot rom just via mi flash tool by flashing lk and preloader before flashing rom or you can easily flash every image one by one manually in fastboot mode, Just by using command like fastboot flash system system.img, fastboot flash cust cust.img and so on. It is very easy. Hope it work for you.

Thanks for this. I've been following instructions from this link https://c.mi.com/ph/miuidownload/detail?guide=2. I think you are also referring to this one. I already followed instructions but I am now stuck in the unlocking method which says I need to wait 168 hours.
You mentioned I can flash img files one by one, is still possible when without unlocking the the device first via miui unlock tool?

Nope you have to first unlock bootloader. But as I read sp flash tool can work without unlocking bootloader. So if you have fastboot than first flash preloader and lk and then you can use sp flash tool without authorised account. But I am not sure if it work then inform me also. And if it don't work you have to first unlock bootloader.

The experience posted by this user only reinforces my general impression not to do a major upgrade (even an "official" one pushed by the manufacturer) on any phone that one uses for primary use, unless you want to get involved in the whole rooting process and all the time and risk that entails.
In my experience, the original version of android that ships with a device, and subsequent minor fixes, are the most adapted to the phones specs. Despite claims otherwise, every major upgrade involves more resource use, since it was designed with the latest hardware in mind. It will therefore almost certainly degrade the performance of a phone, even one not that old. I have had this happen in every phone I have owned. And unless your phone is rooted, you can not downgrade the OS.
So when MIUI 12 comes out, with Android 10, I will definitely wait for others to do it first and wait for the feedback, maybe I'll just pass on it. Right now my RN8P works great, and the additional "features" of android 10 add no functionality whatsoever. Why screw around with something that already works great?

[Rollback] Did anyone try to Rollback from 11 to 10 ?

Hey there folks, so did anyone tried to Downgrade from 11 to 10? is it safe? or it can cause Hard Brick on our devices?

I did that, then my phone was bricked and i must bring it to service center to fix. I think that process triggered android verified boot (anti rollback). You can try to fix using QFIL and EDL flash but not recommended (can't use Miflash because you cannot flash through EDL without xiaomi authorized account)

That's not necessarily the case with this unbrick file. You do not need an authorized account to flash in edl using QFIL with the unbrick files

The Anti-Rollback was actieve since 10 but While 10 was out, because of TWRP and other recovery some users were able to rollback. and for 11 there isn't any Recovery that could flash a rom properly

is not a good idea... wait the uptades... also the initial release of a10 was buggy... my suggestion is make a clean install of a11 december patch. is very stable. better than january... otherwise wait february update

I Think it's Worse then January however i am doing a Factory Reset lets hope for the best

Try lot of methods like flash stock 10 by recovery 9 pie and by fastboot rom to but no luck yet but still trying hope any dev will do any thing abt it.

You can try with miflash tool via edl mode. But i'm not shire. downgrade is a bad idea. Maybe you can do but problably you may have some issue
