[FONT="]As some of us including myself have been wondering how do i update my honor 7 while running android 5.0.2 to the latest Marshmallow 6.0 update if my honor 7 is rooted?
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have successfully updated to The latest Marshmallow 6.0 using this method[/FONT][FONT="] and i was running b180 rooted

[FONT="]I have a uk version of honor 7 so the process will be the same except the firmware files for your country.[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Please back your phone as i have done with titanium backup and Hisuite
[FONT="]I[/FONT] don't take any responsibility for any damage caused by your mistakes[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT] [FONT="]Step 1: We need to unroot honor 7 before doing anything else
open superSU scroll down and you will see an option full unroot click and phone should reboot sometime it may not reboot so dont worry just to be sure download root checker app from play store to see if unroot has been successful[/FONT]
[FONT="]Step 2: Head to your computer and download and install the following tool:

· [FONT="]Step 4: [/FONT]Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract the (BOOT.img), (SYSTEM.img), (RECOVERY.img), (CACHE.img), (CUST.img),) from the UPDATE.app file that you have extracted from Step 3.
[FONT="]Step 5: Open your command prompt, and navigate to the right directory where you have extracted the image files. Use the “cd” and “..” commands to do so.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Step 6: Type the following commands and execute them one by one

the following command fastboot devices while you are in the bootloader mode
Then execute the these commands
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
[FONT="]Step 7: Navigate to your sd card and copy the dload [/FONT]folder that you have extracted from Step 3 to the root of your sd card. Note inside the dload folder is the update file UPDATE.APP
· [FONT="]Step 8: Hold volume + and volume – at the same time then hold the power button don’t let go until you see Huawei software installation screen, Once installation is done phone will reboot and android system will load after setup process you will get a ota update notification, Click on it and update to b180 [/FONT]

Step 10: Extract The files download in Step 9 And you will see a folder called dload copy that folder to the root of your sd card .
Note if you already have a folder called dload then just copy the APDATE.APP from the dload folder to your sd cards dload folder
· [FONT="]Step [FONT="]11[/FONT]: Hold volume + and volume – at the same time then hold the power button don’t let go until you see Huawei software installation screen[/FONT]
You may get installation failed error don’t worry just reboot the system and enjoy the Official Marshmallow 6.0 update.:good:
Thanks for the guide, however, I couldn't get it to work on my UK H7. I'm already on B180 with no root and bootloader still locked so I just proceeded from step 9. I placed the UPDATE.APP from the update.zip I downloaded to the dload folder but it fails (like you said) but when i reboot i'm still on B180.
I also tried just placing the update.zip directly into dload but that also fails after attempting a local update.
Any ideas?

Hi Andy
I think it maybe because you are not rooted or you may have done something different.
Try downloading the files again.
If not follow this official guide if you are not rooted http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377073-how-to-update-your-honor-7-to-marshmallow/

I backed up, just in case.
I tried again, the update went really quick (like 15 seconds) then said it was complete and I restarted. Since then it has been sat with the honor boot up logo for about 10 minutes... I'm just going to wait and hopefully it will boot into the android system
EDIT: So it's not progressing from the boot logo... I went into the recovery and wiped/factory reset to see if that would help but it's just sat at the boot logo again and won't go any further
I can obviously get to recovery and to the update screen so I'll have to try and download the full B121 ROM and put it on my SD card to try again.

Are you running custom recovery or stock?
If you are on stock recovery Start a fresh install
download the full B121 firmware flash it and after setup you should get OTA update notification proceed with the update once the update it done to b180 download the full firmware for marshmallow from here http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/?DOC_ID=77509
Extract the zip file once done you will see a dload folder copy the UPDATE.APP to you dload folder in your sd card then go to settings and update click on local update and update the phone.
Let me know if it worked.

Yes, full stock. Never rooted or unlocked bootloader. I agree, I think the full 121 upgrade path is probably the best option now, I'm in the process of copying over the update.app from the 121 firmware to my sd card as we speak. I tried the 330 update while I was at work and didn't have my usb sd card reader so I've only just managed to get home and start that now.
EDIT: I'm just getting the update failed message now when attempting to install the B121 Update.App... about 6% into the update, then just asks to reboot system which gets stuck at the boot logo again :/
EDIT 2: After repeatedly trying and switching between B100, B120 and B330 update.App files to try and reflash the firmware the B330 version finally decided to do a full install and complete 100%. Very strange how it literally just decided to work this time but all's well that ends well I guess. If anyone else has this issue then just persevere and keep trying, hopefully it will just work one time!
Thanks Tile and Alphadude for trying to figure it out
for unrooted B180 this is how i did it
I went from B180>B320>B330
downloaded B320 to sd card
extracted intermediate file to sdcard/dload
EMUI update app and manual update
it restarted and did its buisness
deleted the UPDATE.APP from dload folder and copied in the full UPDATE.APP
EMUI update app and manual update
it restarted and did its buisness
then once restarted back into the emui update app and it said the 330 update was available OTA
no data loss through any of it

Make sure you flash the intermediate file first and then the main update
I doff my cap. It worked. An error at 95%, plodded on through and I'm now on MM B330.
Good work. I've noticed an improved battery life on b330

There's nothing great that I've come across yet. No data lost either doing the upgrade so I'm happy to be on MM.
After the update everything else seems to be working fine and smooth, but i've had several sudden restarts and couple of freezes.
Hello I have b575 version I want to update to b581.
So I downloaded file and I made dload folder, I want to ask does I need to put only update.app or folders also(system,patch,metainf,cust.)
I tried with update.app only, and it show updating but its really fast (10-20 second) and when phome boots up I stil have b575. My battery was 30% maybe that was problem?

You only need to put update.app in dload folder. (System,patch,metainf,cust is for TWRP). By the way what is the size of that update.app?

Well it seems a security patch or bugs fixes from size. It is not the whole firmware so it is useless to update it. It won't change anything. The whole system size is between 1.02~1.4 GB. You may flash it via twrp(at your own risk) and see if your phone gets updated.
Hello,
I tried to flash the RessurectionRemix ROM and it was working well except the LTE so I decided to get back to EMUI.
Problem, i took the backup of bluesmoothie and flashed it but the phone never finish to boot.... (I didn't wipe anything, i thought that the restore function of TWRP was doing everything, am I wrong ?)
Moreover, the TWRP recovery can't access the content of my ext sdcard where the RR ROM is located and even if i put this rom to internal storage, i got the ERROR 7 (this is for deive: can; you have generic_a53)
Do you know what can I do to :
- Come back to EMUI
- Unroot the phone
- Re-lock the bootloader
The files of the TWRP backup are located on the sdcard, if i wipe data/system/cache, will it delete these files ?
Infos :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP of Garak (but still have ERROR 7 now)
Thank you very much
First you need to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. After that you need to put the update.app in a folder called dload in your internal storage.

Okay but where can I find the stock recovery ?
Then, do i have to flash it via ADB like i did with TWRP ?
After that, where can I find the "update.app" that you are talking about ?
If i'm right, you're telling me that i can't go back to EMUI without flashing the stock recovery ?
That is correct. First use firmware finder to get the update.app. There is a firmware extractor tool for Huawei firmware. Use it to extract the recovery.img and flash with fastboot.

First of all, thank you very much for your anwser, it's very kind of you.
If i understood everything, that's what i have to do :
- Download one of the Huawei firmwares with Huawei Finder (Better get the B100 or another one ?)
- Extract the recovery.img with the update.app from Huawei Finder
- Flash the stock recovery with ADB
Then :
- I put the update.app that i get through the Huawei Finder in the dload folder of the internal storage (If i flash the stock recovery, will I be able to put files in the storage ?)
- I reboot the phone in recovery and normally, it should install the EMUI rom
At the end, my phone will no longer have a custom recvery, bootloader unlocked and root status ?

Yes, that's correct. But you have to put update.app in dload folder on your SD card as far as I know. That's how I did it.
I couldn't find B100 on Firmware Finder and I've got relocked bootloader on Nougat.
Yes, you will need to copy the update.app to internal storage in TWRP, then flash the stock recovery. After flashing you need to hold all three buttons when booting (just like getting into TWRP. After update you will have no custom recovery, no root, and it should lock bootloader.

If it doesn't boot, then boot in recovery and do a factory reset and then it should boot. It happened to me and that's what I did.

I still have the warning message "your phone is unlocked", is it normal ?
When i boot into recovery it's displaying "eRecovery" and ask me to download the new update of recovery but it fails when getting the package. I can only reboot and turn off :/

You shouldn't have that message anymore.
Are you sure that the update.app got installed? @wangdaning told you to put it on dload folder in internal memory. I don't know if that is right or if it works, but I've put it in dload folder on sdcard when I've installed update.app.

You can read in this post the steps I've used to relock the bootloader and get update (official I guess) through Settings > System update. Just "click to show content".

The problem is that the phone doesnt finish to but anymore... i can't do things in menu.
When you talk about SD card, it's the external sd card ? Because i don't have access to it anymore, but i have the partition SD Card
When you installed the B340 update, you seen the percent growing up and had a "success" message ? Because, for me, the update is stuck at 5% and then it reboot the phone

Yes, I mean external sdcard.
Reinstall TWRP and restore bluesmoothie's backup and then flash the stock recovery again.
I didn't have any issues with installing the B340 firmware. It was installed successfully.
Try to follow the steps I've used. You shouldn't have any problem.

Okay i'm going to try it right away
My external sd card doesnt show up anymore when i connect it to my PC, i don't know why
I mentioned internal SD card because you said your external was not recognized, but you might try putting the dload folder on external. I have done it both ways. Sometimes the update through stock recovery is finicky. If it doesn't finish run it again. Also, make sure your USB is disconnected, as may Huawei users have mentioned this causes it to freeze. If it still fails, try dloading a different update from firmware finder.
Did it work?
I didn't have so much time these days but I did it and it worked for the 1st part (flash bouesmoothie's backup). Tomorrow I'll do the final step! Thank you again
Here I am :
1 : flashed stock recovery from B350 and i don't have the "unlocked" message anymore !
2 : The update B350 made it, "update success"
3 : It doesn't boot for now
4 : The boot doesn't end
-----
1 : flashed TWRP recovery, launched a factory reset in the same time
2 : Phone booting again on B100
-----
1 : flashed stock recovery from b350
2 : flashed b350 update
3 : Everything is fine !
Thank you for your help !!!
Hi everyone!
I just noticed that my P8 Lite ALE-L21C128B130 hasn't been updated since a while and i was wondering why i didn't receive Marshmallow. Turns out my provider does not support P8 Lite anymore hence we didn't receive any OTA. The past two days i've been reading about updating manually and i successfully unlocked my bootloader.
My firmware is ALE-L21C128B130 and i've read on the internet that before the 6.0 update i should put ALE-L21C432B170 on it. I tried it, created a dload folder and put the UPDATE.app in it. Rebooted but i always get the "Software install failed" error and it reboots with the original L21C128B130.
Please help me find a solution for this problem because now i downloaded the third B170 firmware but everytime "Software install failed".
What should i download? Which versions of the firmwares? And do i need to do anything else except putting a dload and selecting "Update from local" in the EMUI menu? I'm putting the dload folder on the internal memory of my phone cause I have a class 4 SD card and i read somewhere that it wont work from that one. My phones internal memory has 2,8GB free space out of 16, could this be the problem? If so what should i delete, cause i checked every folder on it and i just cant find what takes up to 10+GB of storage.
Thanks and cheers from Hungary!

Hello,
Got a WAS-LX1A SINGLE SIM 4GB UK (with an updated WAS-LX1AC432B185 firmware).
Trying to go back to stock but all firmware (WAS-LX1AC432B179, WAS-LX1AC432B186, WAS-LX1AC432B187) which has been downloaded using Firmware Finder is failing via dload method: "Software Install Failed"
Any ideas or a link would to a firmware where I can start would be good,

-------------------------------------===== follow instructions of below if is bricked
now:
you need unlock bootloader
oeminfo ss
srom b183
twrp
sdcard
1- with a sdcard, create dload folder, then extract b183 and copy update.app + all was folders.
2- enable developer settings and enable oem unlock, poweroff and press vol-+power, then fastboot oem unlock code, then follow the screen(configs)
3- move twrp to c:/adb, with a cmd opened type cd c:/adb press enter, and type fatboot flash recovery recovery.img, finished type fastboot reboot plus pressing vol + till erecovery screen, shutdown and unplug, press vol+ power.
4- insert sdcard and make only a backup of your oeminfo, extract downloaded oem and copy/replace in twrp back folder, then restore in twrp. power off now only do 3buttons method
Thanks foliaje, I have tried WAS-LX1AC432B179 and its not working. The phone boots fine. Basically, I rooted and it tried to update via TWRP and failed. Now trying to restore to stock and getting this error. DO you have a link to the exact firmware that I can try - tried several of them now and its failing.
Ok, I managed to go back to stock by downloading via Firmware Finder. So, dload method via SD Card don't work with this phone or what? Would appreciate if someone can confirm?

Thanks foliaje, I have tried WAS-LX1AC432B179 and its not working. The phone boots fine. Basically, I rooted and it tried to update via TWRP and failed. Now trying to restore to stock and getting this error. DO you have a link to the exact firmware that I can try - tried several of them now and its failing.

Hey foliaje, Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
Let me explain my issue: I have purchased my phone yesterday, it upgraded to 185 (I am assuming it was B183, didn't check) via OTA. Then I almost finished setting up the phone including ROOT but a b187 OTA appeared little bit later but failed because I had TWRP already installed. That's fine, no problem. So wanted to start again like I usually do - download the firmware, put on sd card and off you go......
But the problem with this phone is (and I had quite few Huawei one's including tablets) when I downloaded the full firmware, using the SD card dload method I get "Software Install Failed" but it seemed to have worked when I did it via Firmware Finder (I am on B187 now). So something not right - either something has changed or I need to do something else.
So what's the issue? The only think I can think of here is that you are saying that this phone require a 'service' firmware that does not do authentication or something? Right? I am downloading C432B183 from your link and will see what happens (bit slow).
I really would like to know now so I can get back to stock when I mess things up
OK...I followed as below:
Downloaded http://androidhost.ru/JS
(1) Copied main UPDATE.APP to dload folder
(2) Then renamed WAS-L01A_hw_eu\update_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.app to UPDATE.APP and copied to dload folder
Is above method correct, can we do it in one go?
Anyway, I think it has worked (had to do few reset) but the firmware version was showing WAS-LX1AC432B179 - is that correct? OTA upgraded to WAS-LX1AC432B185

Thanks dude, appreciate your help.
Now - any ideas why the firmware finder firmware's don't work on this phone via dload method?

In the UK and have exact same model. Filmware finder did not work for me also. The one in the link below did though! Its the first download you need. Copy the update.app and the folder 'L01A' to the 'dload' folder on your sd card. Does your phone boot? If so in the dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose software upgrade then sd card update, it will then flash the filmware to pure stock.

Yes, its all good now. Bizarre - Huawei making things difficult now. Which TWRP are you using? Can the TWRP backup function works for you i.e. encryption disabled?
