I can probably see right now, you've done it wrong... Download stock rom from huawei.consumer... For some reason i thought it's gonna be android MM, but it was android N, so no problem here, just download stock rom and you will have newest android.
You probably downloader rom from xda, rom it's in .zip right? And you tried to flash it with TWRP?

Yesterday I had this issue, it's more easy than it seems. In Revolution Recovery for Nougat, flash the update.app ZIP with 6.0 , it will show you a lot of errors, but don't worry, it's ok. After this flash than DUALSIMOEM.zip and after that shutdown your phone and use the 3 buttons method to automatically ,,update" to B161.

That's because u don t have the bootloader unlocked Also, verify in Developer Options to have Enable OEM on, that's why you have an error in CMD

Thx for ur replies, but I don't want to install custom roms. Is there a possibility to completely reinstall the stock rom so that the phone is unrooted again?

I will try your method but firsr I have a question: If i restart my phone I get a message on my screen that my phone is unlocked and can't be trusted. So that means my bootloader is already unlocked and I don't have to unlock it again? So I only have to flash revolution recovery and find the file in firnware finder?
Is there a instruction how to install revolution recovery and where to find the file...?

Still got OTA updates after bootloader unlock?

Hi,
I just unlocked my bootloader and I wasn't​ sure if I would still get OTA updates on the phone. If not, can I relock the bootloader and keep root access?

Don't relock bootloader with MM ROM.
(if you already have N firmware, right now)
After flashing MM, you will receive OTA for N, and it will brick your device.
Do it with latest N september patch (available in guide section)

You can, but you need to remember that "don't take OTA in future, never tap update notification"
Also if you sell or give your phone to someone else, give them latest N.

Yes, fastboot commands are same.
hi! i know this is something irrelevant but since this is related to bootloader unlocking,i wanted to question that if i wanted to relock my bootloader which was on the sept 01 patch when unlocked;would i have to flash the same build from the fastboot again to relock it?and will it be safe to install ota updates after relocking the bootloader and reverting to the stock rom?

Only for taking OTA, locked bootloader is not necessary, you can take OTA with unlocked bootloader too.
things to take care of,
don't flash older firmwares than you have at the moment,
As you have september patch, flash september (while relocking too), don't downgrade.
If you downgrade, then don't take OTA. Warned..

My bad!
GPT and bootloader won't get flashed if you downgrade, it will fail, you can't flash older versions.
I don't know if it's possible to lock without flashing them, You can try flashing without GPT and Bootloader.
Just a suggestion! You don't need to flash the firmware again, if you are already on it. For eg, If you are already on Sept patch and want to relock, you don't need to flash the ROM again to relock it. Just use the fastboot commands.
I would recommend to leave it unlocked, because if anything went wrong with your device, atleast you will be able to save the data of internal memory atleast!

You need to flash the firmware to update the device if you update it's with root then the device will hard brick, so you need to flash the whole firmware so you can upgrade the device.

Can I remove root, and update it with an OTA, of does the unlocked bootloader cause a problem as well?
Do you know where I can get the firmware?

You need to unmodified all things which you have installed,such as root, module's,etc. To flash the ota if there any modifications, then there are changes of brick. So suggest you to flash the firmware. And if you want data then use LMSA and make a backup and restore after upgrading it.
I think I am just going to do a custom rom instead.
