Tips before modding/twrp/dload/oem change/etc - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi, this is my own experience with the Honor 8. I'm from Malaysia by the way. So my device is FRD-L09C636.
.
Upon browsing the thread, I was so eager to update to EMUI 5.0 Android 7.0 Nougat. So I follow all the steps given, like from changing OEM Info from C636 to C432 (Malaysia does not yet have EMUI 5.0 Beta till recently).
.
I succeed, note that my phone was at 60% battery.
.
So I Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, change OEM info, Flash C432 OTA. Succeeded and that time I was on TWRP for Nougat and EMUI 5.0 C432 Test-Key the earlier version. By this time I forgot that my SD Card, Dload directory was loaded with previous C636 files and my battery already 30%.
.
I wrongly boot into recovery instead of flash the latest C432 OTA for N update and I ended up with infinite bootloop untill my batteries is out.
.
Batteries dead, on bootlopp mode or no OS mode the device won't charge, so I make some story and claim my warranty. Honor gave me new device instead of fixing it.
.
SO REMEMBER TO HAVE:
ENOUGH BATTERY
KNOW THE HARDWARE KEY SHORTCUT TO BOOT INTO ANT TYPE OF RECOVERY/ETC
DLOAD EMPTY OR HAVE THE RIGHT FW

Oh lucky you got a new device after unlocking, rooting and debranding your H8, since unlocking bootloader will void your warranty.
Anyways, you should have tried to use either SRK Huawei tool ? or Huawei Multi-tool by MT. ?. To get you out of boot loop & (unbrick) your device.

You could not charge it in fastboot mode ?
This is very surprising that the battery won't charge at all without.
I also experimented more or less same issues than you after switching from L04 to L09 but fastboot helped me to escape from infinite reboot loop . ( Device needs to be connected to the computer and you press volume down all the time.
BTW I saw B322 is out for Malaysia

Yeah,
.
Yup, but OTA for N only for registered user and latest news is from 10 Dec. If I want to use your way with Charles App, the problem is Malaysia OTA does not have filelist.xml.

How can I change from c636 to c432 and does it have any drawbacks? maybe somebody can help me, i've already seen srk tool, but is it working with honor 8?

greetings from malaysia, do u guys know where can i find custom.bin and oeminfo for C636 firmware. i want to change back to C636 from C432

Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro Rebranding Guide

Due to quite a bit of research, I now have faith in the rebranding method. I'd like to share the method and knowledge for rebranding with the XDA community.
Currently Available Rebrandings:
For Mate 9:
MHA-L29C432 (Dual sim, European version)
MHA-L29C10 (Dual sim, Russian version)
MHA-L09C432 (Single sim, European version)
MHA-AL00C00 (Dual sim, Chinese version)
For Mate 9 Pro:
LON-L29C636 (Mate 9 Pro, Int'l Version, Asia)
LON-L29C432 (Mate 9 Pro, Europe Version)
LON-AL00C00 (Chinese version)
Requirements:
1. (VERY IMPORTANT!!)THE DNS ON YOUR ROUTER MUST BE SET TO 37.114.61.203 -- Make sure this is done and it works before proceeding.MOD EDIT:Link to paid service removed If you can not set your DNS server on your wifi router, you might not be able to recover your phone. Changing windows DNS settings will not help!. The setting must be done on your wifi router. Consider this your warning!
2. External storage (SD card or USB OTG for Mate 9, and USB OTG for Mate 9 Pro)
3. Bootloader code
4. Ability to install TWRP (Check the TWRP thread)
5. MOD EDIT:Link to paid service removed A way to flash firmware to Mate 9.
(NOTE: The partition table is different between versions, and MOD EDIT: Link to paid service removed is the only method I know of right now that can handle changing those. If you use another method and brick your phone, please don't blame me.)
Steps:
0. Before starting, do a full factory reset from the Settings, Advanced Settings menu.
1. Unlock your bootloader, and install TWRP. For instructions doing this, check the TWRP thread.
2. With your external storage inserted into your phone, enter TWRP by holding Volume Up key without USB cable attached to your computer.
3. Once in TWRP, go to the backup menu, and make a backup of your oeminfo partition.
4. Turn off your phone.
5. Put the SD card or USB drive into your computer, look in the TWRP folder, and find the oeminfo backup.
6. Replace the files in the backup with the same files from the download link below for the version you want to rebrand to. Keep your original files somewhere safe so you can go back if you need to.
7. Put the SD card or USB drive back into the phone, boot back into TWRP, then restore the oeminfo partition you just modified.
8. REMOVED flash the firmware that matches the model you rebranded to. REMOVED
9. After the flash has finished, boot into recovery by holding volume up key. Choose the second option to wipe data/factory restore, then choose the third option to wipe cache. Your phone will now boot.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE AFTER FLASHING (Wrong version number, no OTA update in the menu, etc.):
1. Perform a factory reset from the setting menu, then do eRecovery again.
2. Ensure that you chose a compatible firmware.
NOTE:
It is very likely you will have trouble after the first flash. You will most likely need to flash TWICE with eRecovery.
oeminfo links:
Thank you for your help.
I've done the conversion almost as you sad but I encounter some problems.
So I started from MHA-AL00C00 and wanted to have MHA-L29C432
1. I've installed TWRP and backup-ed/ restored the oeminfo from your download link.
2. After the oeminfo restore and reboot the phone was in a booting loop - I could't get into TWRP anymore- I could only go into fastboot or into eRecovery.
3. As I didn't have the posibility to get access to modify the DNS on router (I was not home) I flashed MHA-L29C432B138 using HiSuite method.
After succsfully flashed I still have the normal bugs like directly flashing the EU software - Themes do not work, wallpaper changes to default, no Update, etc...
Right now on the phones it shoes :
Model Number : MHA-L29
Build number : NRD90M test-keys
Can you give some advice how I can rebrand it so it is full functional on EU software ? Is the eRecovery the only method I should use ?
Thanks

Hello.
To clarify, do you mean that you put the phone in fastboot and used HiSuite?
If it's possible, you should use eRecovery. I know that fastboot+HiSuite will not work correctly for rebranding (it will have the side effects you mentioned) but you might be able to try booting the phone, then using HiSuite update function.
But the way which is most successful is eRecovery. This goes for flashing regular updates as well. HiSuite is more convenient, but eRecovery is more reliable.

You don't need to touch TWRP again. Just use eRecovery method, and it should work. HiSuite/fastboot is only good for recovering a previous version, not good for flashing a new version.

Hi, I've just rebranded my Mate 9 Pro, everything seems good, but the build number shows NRD90M test-keys. Is there a way to correct this? Thank you!

Use erecovery to install the correct firmware.
Is it possible to rebrand from MHA-AL00 to MHA-L29C636, or MHA-L29C900. I'm living in China, and would like to receive OTA updates, I do have a SIM card from the Philippines. Thanks
Just to confirm , if you use HiSuite you will not get OTA and themes,etc just like reflashing without changing oeminfo. If you use eRecovery everything goes as intended. I haven't try to flash the firmware with Two or other similar. I just used funkyhuawei for both methods.
I wanna rebrand a phone (Chinese to International) but the monthly payment seems to me ridiculous, once I rebrand it I don't see the need to use the service anymore, it should be a one time payment.

Detailed guide to downgrade from Nougat to Official Marshmallow (NEM-L22)

Detailed guide to downgrade from Nougat (unofficial or beta) to Official Marshmallow.
Saw many users struggling with unofficial Nougat update (via firmware finder) and were looking for downgrade procedure (on Facebook, honor community and on XDA) to go back to stable and official Marshmallow version from Beta/stable stock Nougat version. Below method is thoroughly checked personally by me for more than 5-6 times and I am writing this detailed step by step guide for downgrade.
Prerequisites-
Non-rooted phone (no changes to the system partition and bootloader made)
Make sure you are running the Nougat version B3XX (not custom ROM)
Make sure you are on stock recovery.
Make sure to take full backup of the data and apps as this downgrade process will erase all your data and will wipe the internal memory. (you can use this backup to restore your contacts, call/sms logs, app with data, your home screen layout etc.)
Make sure your device is charged to at least 50%.
SD card with minimum 4 GB free space (as main product package is around 2.77 GB in size)
Let’s start the process.
Updating product transfer package-
Download the update.app product transfer package for Honor 5C device from link https://goo.gl/KYZ3Pd
Create a folder dload in the root directory of your SD card.
Copy the update.app package which you just downloaded to dload folder.
Power off the phone.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button.
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically
.
Updating the main product package (Marshmallow B151 package)
Delete the old dload folder from SD card. (which had transfer package file of size 69 MB) - Do not forget to delete this folder or rename it or else the same file will be keep on flashing again and again.
Download the full version package from the link https://goo.gl/8d4s73
Copy the entire folder with UPDTAE.APP file in it to root directory of SD card.
Power off the phone.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button.
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.
During restart, phone will verify the system image.
This verification and 1st boot may take upto 4-5 minutes so do not panic.
Once the phone is booted and up, it will ask for the initial setup like language, wifi, agreement etc.
Validation-
Once the phone is setup, go to setting—about phone—check the android version and build number to verify you are running on Android Marshmallow version.
NOTE:
This process will completely erase your data, so make sure to have a backup before proceeding further.
This process will downgrade your phone to Android marshmallow, EMUI 4.1.2 and B151.
I have personally tested this method and downgraded my phone to marshmallow without any issue (10+ times)
If you follow the guide correctly, you should not face any issue with condition that all the Prerequisites are met and you followed the steps in order.
If anyone still have any doubt or a slight hesitation, please feel free to ask in the comment before proceeding and risking your phone.
I have a doubt
Hi shashank,
I am using honor 5c Indian version running in naugat. My phone is very slow. If I downgrade to Android 6.0 will get speed??. Because my handset was smooth when it was marshmallow......

Screwed Up

I tried updating to Nougat and my phone is now bricked. None of the key combinations work on boot except for FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE, and the phone won't power off, at all, just hangs on the logo when restarting. I flashed this ROM here thinking everything would be OK since it claims to be compataible with my phone but I might have flashed the data zip by mistake. I tried downgrading as seen here but that only made matters worse. Probably should mention that my phone is fully locked too.
Thoughts???

If I can flash stock ROM with FRP locked, how do I do that? I tried to with SRK Tool but it didn't detect my phone, and I have ADB driver installed along with HiSuite.
A little update: I decided to claim on the warranty and get it fixed. Hopefully not unlocking, rooting anything and trying to flash official firmware Huawei wont charge me, but I'm not holding my breath. So I will take this as a lesson learned that the P9 Lite is not a developer friendly phone; well, at least my version anyway.
Thanks for all the help.
How to flash stock ? Flash it via fastboot using cmd on windows . Open dload file ( update.app ) , unpack it with app which u can find on this forum and flash all img files via fastboot . I am not sure if it's gonna work on locked bootloader and frp lock but u Can try

Stuck on NRD90M test-keys

Team,
I've got a problem. My brother got the phone locked on NRD90M test-keys and can't roll back. I've tried getting into the SD card the UDPATE.APP for my model (VNS-L22) but when doing the three key method it shows an error message with something like "incompatibility with current software" and it just gives me the option to reboot the device. I have access to the device as it boots but things like camera stopped working (it's been a while since he did that and he just told me)
I've tried with the "Huawei Recovery Updater thread" here but I don't know if I am doing something wrong or what but it does not work.
Reading a bit more it seems I've to unlock bootloader and do a bunch of things, just wondering what do you think is the best approach or how can I get back to stock ROM, so we he can get OTA updates and have the device working without a problem.
He did this by using the Firmware Finder app from play store, so I guess he did an update and got the device on that state.
Device details:
EMUI Version: 5.0
Android Version: 7.0
Huawei P9 lite
Model: Huawei VNS-L22
I appreciate all the help you could provide,
Thanks!

Hello,
if you remember exactly the complete firmware your device were on
before been stucked on NRD90M test-keys, maybe using Firmware Finder ( FF )
you'll be able to force the update to a newer and working version..
( ex. mine was VNS-L31C432B381 and updated to B415 )
The other method is most complicated...
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and use
Huawei Recovery Updater in order to reflash your stock rom.
Then you should use FF too to make an update and correctly
relock the bootloader.
Is you'll use those awesome apps don't forget to thank the developers.
Cheers

Yes I do, actually I just realized the one I could find here wasn't the same I had before so maybe I will try that one. I tried firmware finder from the app but it wasn't working properly, when downloading the FULL OTA files it started crashing and then I was not able to proceed with the "downgrade" now i've used the FF for PC and downloaded the files from FULL OTA, however there are 3 files. I am not sure what to put into the dload folder.
These are the files:
update.zip
update_data_full_hw_normal.zip
update_data_full_ice_cr.zip
As per my understanding I should place only the files from "update.zip" right? I also saw a few comments on a video that said put all content from all three files into the dload folder.
If you happen to know the answer I will appreciate it!
Hello,
I'm also stuck in this rom... But in my case I went from a custom ROM to it. But it blocked my bootloader, etc...
And I forgot my bootloader code
Now I have to unlock it and I will use DC-Unlocked but when I dial this number: *#*#2846579#*#* in this ROM it doesn't show anything!!! So I can't open Project Menu...
What can I do?
Thanks

I tried firmware finder from the app but it wasn't working properly, when downloading the FULL OTA files it started crashing and then I was not able to proceed with the "downgrade" now i've used the FF for PC and downloaded the files from FULL OTA, however there are 3 files. I am not sure what to put into the dload folder.
These are the files:
update.zip
update_data_full_hw_normal.zip
update_data_full_ice_cr.zip
As per my understanding I should place only the files from "update.zip" right? I also saw a few comments on a video that said put all content from all three files into the dload folder.
If you happen to know the answer I will appreciate it!

Dude,
you cannot use DLOAD aka three buttons method
on nougat ( android 7 ) 'cause it wont work.
As i wrote you should know exactly the firmware your device were before the softbrick.
Getting 'nrd90m - test keys' firmware probably mean you already tried to use a wrong firmware.
I don't know whic firmware you downloaded, but i can assure you without that correct no methods will work.
As you can see in the attachment exists many custs ( C185, C569. C576, C635, C636, etc... )
and firmware ( Bxxx ) that indicate the region/brand were you live or where the device was sold when you bought it and if single or dual sim.
Without those info become a lot complicated bring back your device in an working state.
The last chance should be a rebrand but you need some files like OEMinfo zip but ever first you should unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and use HWOTA method, but the risk
to completely brick the device is really high.
Example of a firmware : VNS-L31C432B415
VNS ( venus is the name of the device )
L31 ( is the version of the device )
C432 ( is the cust that indicate the region where was sold )
B415 ( is the running firmware/security patch on the device )
You had VNS-L22 C??? B???

Hello,
I'm also stuck in this rom... But in my case I went from a custom ROM to it. But it blocked my bootloader, etc...
And I forgot my bootloader code
Now I have to unlock it and I will use DC-Unlocked but when I dial this number: *#*#2846579#*#* in this ROM it doesn't show anything!!! So I can't open Project Menu...
What can I do?
Thanks

Dude,
before attempting to unlock again the bootloader
you should try to force the update with Firmware Finder.
What was the firmware you were on before flashing your custom rom ?
Which custom firmware you were on ?
How you gone back to stock ?
Which stock firmware you used to go stock ?

So the firmware I had before doing that was VNS-L22C106B150.
What should I do with that if the android app is not working? I mean... I tried doing it with firmware finder and it didn't work, used proxy thing, dns thing, downloaded the files (multiple errors, files corrupted) and it is not my internet connection, it's the app. I did downloaded the files on the Windows app

Ok, if you sure your firmware are L22C106, things aren't so good.
Cannot make an update, can make a downgrade but you need the correct rollback package
and i don't know were you can find it, but in any case you couldn't re-upgrade to android 7.
Checking in the FF PC 's app, as you can see, no nougat
versions of this firmware are present. Which version you downloaded before ?
If you are really sure about that firmware, you have only a possibility, which is
make a rebrand but it's a bit complicated and really dangerous.
Choise remain yours, you can find some guides how to do a rebrand, just search
in the p9 lite threads.
Cheers
