In the tradition of the firmware threads by @vsriram92 ... here is the full initial update zip.
Honor 6X (US version) model: BLN-L24C567
Firmware: BLN-L24C567B110
Updated Link 2017-09-09 MEGA-FULL-OTA
Rollback Package from Android 7.0 to 6.0: MEGA-ROLLBACK
You can also download both from Huawei at hihonor.com in their support area.
Thanks @adomol, repository updated with appropriate credit.
Is this the Android 7 update from the 6.0.1 ????
No, this is the stock Marshmallow firmware that shipped with the 6X.
Can this be used to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow? Or will it brick? Just figured I'd ask before I try, I'm stuck in a bit of a jam right now, and no firmware I've tried will apply successfully (fails at 5%). So I figure that I might have better luck going back to the stock MM that the device came with.
Edit: It looks like the download link is invalid. Any mirrors?
Both links are not working now

You need to install the rollback package before you install the 6.0 firmware if you are downgrading from 7.0

Thanks guys, but I was able to go back to MM yesterday, with the help of private messages from @adomol. It involved using a small rollback package and a large full package. The rollback went fine. I may or may not upgrade back up to Nougat, got some prep work to do and things to test. I've only had this device for a few days so I don't know the ins and outs of upgrading/downgrading firmware on Huawei. I'm more familiar with Samsung and Odin.

It is good that you downgraded to MM.
You'll get used to honor devices pretty quickly.
All the best

Can you share the links for small package. I will update the thread so that any othwr user facing the same issue can downgrade.
Link for only smaller file is ok but you can share both.
I'm having this same issue. Trying the rollback package now...hoping that works.
I acidentally deleted all files of blnl24, can i fix with this
Does anyone have the OTA firmware for the Honor 6x LN-24? All the links I'm finding online are broken.
So, as I understand. This phone works similarly in the way the Moto G did in the sense that the Firmware and the actual ROM are seperate?
firmware controlling things in the background and the ROM being front and center?
Theoretically speaking, I could run Lineage 14.1 with HTC MM Firmware AND Nougat firmware? (Obviously not at the same time)
Only reason I ask is I come from a G3 which requires TWRP and all roms to be "Bumped" so things are a bit different (No bootloader unlock)

If you read the LOS installation instructions you see that it support both MM and N. Supported firmware depends on the rom, though many roms will ask you during installation which firmware you're running and support both.

So what are the advantages/disadvantages of using either mm or nougat firmwares? Do they effect anything realistically?

Nougat firmware could have more advanced radios for improved signal.
A caution: don't mix Marshmallow and Nougat firmware bits, such as aboot.
I did that and ruined a perfectly good Ten.

The Nougat update gave a performance boost.
And staying up to date with firmware is always a good idea. Google is releasing monthly security updates now.

* If you want to have the developer LG UP version then you need both patched .dll and patched LGUP.exe. Attached a .zip that simply has to be unpacked in the LGUP folder and it will work right away. Dev LG UP looks like this:

To then unlock bootloader and root, see this thread. For India H930DS, just substitute this PHL H930DS Oreo KDZ instead of CIS H930DS in the instructions.
But just flashing this will give you Oreo with India Jio VoLTE, even without bootloader unlock and root.

Here's how to install the dev patched LGUP:
Nine One One said:
You should create LGUP folder at "C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics"
Then you dowload "LGUP+V30DLL_PATCHED.zip" file (attached to this post) and unrar.
Copy all file after unrar to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP
Connect device and run LGUP.exe
Done

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING
1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)
2) open patched LGUP and flash THIS ROM to VIA UPGRADE.
It's fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:
Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.
This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,
Try different USB port,
Try different USB cable,
Try different computer.
Reinstall LG mobile drivers.
Reinstall dev patched LGUP again, making sure the files are placed where they need to go (LG Electronics folder, etc).
Reboot the computer.
If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway.
IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU CANNOT FLASH VIA UPGRADE, then use "DL PARTITION" METHOD:
1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)
2) open patched LGUP and flash THIS ROM to DL PARTITION. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.
5) DONE.
UPGRADE method lets you keep you data, apps while DL PARTITION METHOD will wipe everything.
_______________
Not necessary, but putting this next item here just so you know... IF for some reason your phone is acting wonky, usually a Master Reset will fix it. No need to reflash anything, but this procedure below does wipe all data. It will give you "factory fresh" setup on the new KDZ. We use this on purpose over in the Frankenstein thread for US998, but is not usually necessary for this simple Oreo H930DS upgrade to another region H930DS.
MASTER RESET
With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.
Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.
When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.
Then press the Power button to reset the device.
Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

Great news guys !!
After trying many Oreo firmwares from different regions on my Indian H930DS, I finally found that the newly available PHL Asia PH/Philippines firmware is the perfect one for us.
Jio Volte works !!
It also has 1st Jun 2018 security update ( Firmwares like 20r available from 16th Jun for European region are still on 1st May 2018 security update).
You do not lose Bootloader Unlock (I tested Australian and Middle East Asia Oreo firmwares available on 16th Jun, they have 1st Jun 2018 firmware and you do not lose Bootloader Unlock or TWRP).
You do not lose TWRP recovery.
Root works.
Software version says V20b-IND-XX and there is also a LG Service India app preinstalled in this firmware (very surprising to find this on Philippines firmware). Maybe same development team making firmware for India and Philippines, not sure.
Happy flashing after a long wait, especially for VoLTE!!

Yes, if you just want to install this, then you flash the KDA with the dev patched LGUP attached to post #1. You would be on the Oreo PHL KDZ which has India VoLTE.
That would be the first step anyway for bootloader unlock and root. But you can stop there if you wish.
To then unlock the bootloader you would just use the WTF method and flash the "fake" bootloader unlock command in ADB. Your bootloader would be unlocked, and you could install TWRP and then in TWRP flash Magisk.
But again, you can just stop after upgrading to this Oreo and not do the other steps.

" If you want to have the developer LG UP version (overkill for just flashing a KDZ ) then you need both patched .dll and patched LGUP.exe"
don't need to have patched .dll and patched LGUP.exe to flash this rom if we just need unrooted and locked bootloader v30 after flash ?

That verbiage by @padmanek is copied from all my other threads where I supply KDZ and I kept it. He was explaining why the dev patched LGUP is sometimes not necessary... But for this thread I only supplied the dev patched LGUP he gave us (not the weaker one), to make sure it works. It's the most powerful version of LGUP. Why use any other? Bi removed that wording since it was confusing you for some reason...
I think you guys are trying to make it too hard. This is the exact same method everyone uses for the past few months to upgrade to Oreo from another region. Australian and even Indian H930DS who upgraded to other versions used this method (even before bootloader unlock and root was available). The DIFFERENCE is this PHL OREO has India VoLTE. It's been proven.
But this is not some new process or difficult at all. You're just using LGUP to upgrade to newer KDZ.
Does any one from India owing the 930ds knows how to cook a rom and can convert this one to a twrp flashable zip file?

I'm really surprised there's not like 20 similar posts like yours. Everyone kept saying they are awaiting for Oreo with India Jio VoLTE. It's HERE. Oreo with the new AI camera.
From this point, then people can even bootloader unlock and root (and still have Jio VoLTE)
Or they can just have Oreo for India H930DS with the new AI camera and be content with that.

2) Depends on the brick, but simple answer is yes. This is powerful dev patched LGUP.
There are some permanent bricks, however that even selective DL PARTITION can't fix.

4) Don't know. On both my rooted and unrooted LG V30/V30+ (I have five), I just have stock LG Oreo AI camera.

I just got my hands on my H930DS international unlocked version. It got a couple of software updates and now it runs Oreo with software version V20d-SEA-XX. So do I follow the mentioned steps for the UPGRADE method ? Because I would prefer not having to go through a wipe and then having to reinstall all my apps and setting my OS. A little detailed instructions for what I must be doing to just successfully flash the Philippines ROM is what I need . Thanks a bunch in advance.
Hi,
I have a Moto G5S which i had to replace the screen couple of months ago So i purchased a screen on ebay being advertised as OEM.
Replacing screen went well and all was working fine till phone was updated to Oreo 8.1 (OTA update).
Now touchscreen is not working.
Phone was not rooted and all was original OS.
I have done a bit of reading and not sure i know what to do.
Is it possible to downgrade to Nougat !?? Has anyone else had this issue? what is the solution please?
Thanks

By the way, don't attempt to flash Nougat firmwares if you've already installed the Oreo OTA update. It'll brick your device. This includes Nougat custom ROMs.

There are TWRP flashable zips for H933. You can have root on H933 firmware, just like you can have root on AT&T H931firmware, Verizon VS996 firmware, Sprint LS998 firmware.
You have to temporarily convert to US998, but if you really want you can use the TWRP-flashable zips.
It's just for H933, it's a little harder. You can't just flash straight from US998 to H933 TWRP flashable zip. There are steps in between.

wow....so yeah I clearly didn't look around. I saw the thread for installing a H993 modem and it had a lot of steps and at the time wasn't polished yet. I haven't been pay much attention to xda and that's more due to being pretty happy with the V30. Only thing that bugged me was the loss of VoLTE and WiFi calling but I got kind of used to it and didn't want to screw around too much. But would really love to get those features backs.
So once a TWRP flashable zip exists for the H933, I should be able to follow the steps to retain root and get on H933 firmware? I'll probably wait until Anxious magisk module is compatible with Pie. (Well I just went to that thread and saw its gone....that's unfortunate)
