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.

Please give how to unroot for update nougat.

Hi guys.
First of all, Please understand although I'm not good at English.
I have rooted wifi version m3. (BTV-W09C233B030)
I use TWRP and installed SuperSU.
I used erecovery to erase and install TWRP.
and now. I want rollback rooting and upgrade to nougat.
To do that, I heard that the stock firmware was needed, and I downloaded the full version of the file(full version BTV-W09C233B029) using the firmware finder.
Can you tell me in detail from here?
Thanks : )

First of all, I would like to let you know that :
- I've successfully installed Nougat BTV-DL09-C100-B302 but... I was unable to root it with "twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img" + "TWEP-SuperSU-v2.79.zip".
- I've then done a rollback thanks to the "C900B300 - ROLLBACK from 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to 6.0 EMUI 4.1 6.0" package from the Huawei website.
- Then, successfully re-installed BTV-DL09-C100-B009
(1) By putting update.app inside "dload" folder (to be created or to be emptied) on the external sdcard
(2) Switched off the mediapad.
(3) Switch on pressing Volume up+down+power button and install will start.
- Successfully upgraded to BTV-DL09-C100-B010 -> BTV-DL09-C100-B301 with "Firmware finder 4.2" downloaded the from Google Store.
Unfortunately, again, I was unable to root it and I've identified this error while flashing "TWEP-SuperSU-v2.79.zip" with "twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon" : "Boot image patching" process fails to patch "sepolicy" and give the error "--- failure, aborting" ; basically, the SU binary is not installed in the System. It's a kernel issue and I guess TWRP has to be patched for these new ROMS or the concerned file must be patched differently, with another tool (BTV-XX09-XXX-B301/B302). Or I'm doing something wrong if someone else has managed to root its mediapad running these updates.
If you don't need your mediapad to be rooted or if you know how to root it , installing Nougat is quite simple :
1) First replace TWRP with the stock recovery image. To do so, extract recovery.img from BTV-W09C233B029 with "HuaweiUpdateExtractor" for Windows.
Considering that you have the ADB drivers correctly installed, reboot in fastboot mode with the command : "adb reboot-bootloader" (or adb reboot bootloader). Then type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then "fastboot reboot". I'm doing all that under parallel destop (Windows 10) on a macbook pro.
2) Then, install you stock rom BTV-W09C233B029 :
(1) Put the file "update.app" inside a dload" folder (to be created or to be emptied) on the external sdcard.
(2) Switched off the mediapad.
(3) Switch it on while pressing volume up+down+power buttons. Install will start.
3) Download Firmware finder 4.2 from the google store and install the required Nougat OTA file for your mediapad thanks to the proxy method (localhost / port:8080 ; you will be proposed to download a Firmware Finder ADD-ON from the Google Store. It helps to push the local file to the official system updater in Settings). Not that you don't have to download the OTA file with the Firmware Finder ; you can just use Firmware Finder to trick the local update installation and then manually put the update.zip file on the internal sdcard in this directory : HWFF/null/update.zip. (Firmware Finder servers are very slow at times so you better download the OTA file yourself on the site mentioned in other xda threads).
Good luck.

Thank you
thank you very much!
It's a really easy way. I learned a lot thanks to this.
Unroot was completed without any problems.
Thanks again

My pleasure, glad you've been able to sort this out. :good:

You can try a factory reset. Used to happen to mine also when running BTV-DL09-C100-B006. Not occurred on B009 and Nougat. Can be caused by many things when unlocked / rooted / xposed framework and so on installed. If stock, I would do a backup and try a factory reset. I also remember having tried to activate both navigation menu + fingerprint sensor for navigation than removed the navigation menu and it had solved the issue if I remember well. Maybe a coincidence though... don't know.

[SOLVED] How to unroot, relock bootloader and flash EMUI ?

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.

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 !!!

Help force Full Update instead of OTA

I just received the information that there is a new OTA update WAS-LX1AC432B184, but it failed to install I think because it want to patch the system, vendor and custom partition instead of adding file. With Firmware Finder I found the full version, is there a way I can force my phone to use the full version and not the OTA to do the update?
Will it delete all of may files?
Thanks

I believe it will wipe your phone so you will lose all data.
To force the update put the 'update.app' file in a folder named 'dload' (if no dload folder just make one) to the root of your sd card.
With the phone dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and select software upgrade or, turn your phone off and press and hold volume up and down buttons and power on the phone, this will force update.
You could also contact Huawei support (via Hi Care App) who might be able to help you install the failed update.

i received notification for WAS-LX1AC432B185 (i have the 4 GB version)
update failed, because i had TWRP flashed and after reboot it tried to flash the update in TWRP.
so, i flashed stock recovery in fastboot and then the update was succesfull.

I tried the same, but it doesn't work. I added the update of some System application inside the System Directory and I think that this is the Problem.
Reading the script for the update/rebrand for Mate9 and P10 I found this command:
$ADB shell "echo --update_package=$TARGET_UPDATE > /cache/recovery/command"
if I download only update.zip from Full-MT through Firmware Finder and copy it for example in /dload (adb push update.zip /dload) and then launch
adb shell " echo /dload/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command"
adb reboot recovery
Will it update my phone without doing a factory reset like if it was an OTA update?
In the update.zip there are the full Version of System, Vendor and Custom Partition instead of only the patch files.
Thanks

I tried but it doesn't work.
I found a tricky solution.
I accepted and download the 3 update files then I don't do immediately the installation, but I substitute in the directory where they where stored (/data/update/HwOUC/serie of number) the update.zip with the full-OTA that I downloaded through FF. I had to change owner, group and SE contest with that of the original file.
After that I tell the system update to perform the update.
The phone rebooted and the update started at end I received an error message, the system rebooted showing the old version B182 but patch updated to 1st September.
Immediately I receive a notification of a system update, but this time the FULL-OTA was proposed I did again the update and this time everything works fine. NOw my Telephone is B184
After that I had to reinstall TWRP and reroot it.
Hope it helps

P9 lite No audio After TWRP restore Dload failing HELP

[SOLVED] Hi i was on l-31c432b381 firmware with emui 5.0 and android 7.0, i have unlocked the bootloader for install magisk 12.0 and have root permissions, after months i saw an update for my phone (b389) so i tried to upgrade but i had twrp so error 1 or 7, i flashed the stock recovery, redowload the update and the install failed at 5%, so i tried to unistall magisk before update, but nothing it wont update, after few tries the upgrader says that the update now is not 300mb but is full and is 2gigs, so i think is the time.. but no. so i tried to force the update with 3 buttons recovery dload method but it doesn't work at all 5% at every try. so i searched for support and i found that the ota connot be installed on unlocked devices, so i tried to relock my bootloader with oem relock and the unlock number but it says root type is risk... so i can't even relock my bootloader.. other says that i have to install to relock or can relock... but is b381 the stock? or they instend the mm version? i don't remember what version p9 lite ships. i tried to flash imgs through fastboot but even if i flash system and boot of the b389 the system boot and the info are of the b381, unisatlling app system crash, so i restored my previous backup made through twrp recovery, i immidiatly noticed that the huawei boot animations was gone and was an android stock animation. i thinked it was fine and all was working properly, i give up o upgrade and i was fine but sad. after few hours i tried to make a paper copy with my printer that have nfc but my phone keep shows and hide nfc symbol like on off on off on off over and over even after reboot, after a call i understand that the audio doesn't was working, every type of audio not work even the mic. i don't see any other problems but without sounds is unusable as a phone or mulimedia things... sorry for bad english please HELP i tried all i founded ...

Hi, my english is bad too , B389 is an OTA update, its impossible upgrade via fstboot or via TWRP (error 7). IMO the right way to fix your problems - downgrade to MM , then back to Nougat etc. (remove pattern Lock , Fingerprint lock, root etc. before installing downgrade). It will erase all your phone data!!!
Download official rollback package for your VNS-L31C432
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and download MM firmware VNS-L31C432B161 (Single SIM)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip
1) Create a new folder dload in root directory of SD card (root directory : it means dont put it in any folder .) Now unpack the rollback package and copy its contents “UPDATE.APP” to the “dload” folder. Use the 3 button combo installation. After your firmware version should now be on “B300” or "test-keys".
2) Remove from dload folder rollback package, extract the ZIP file with MM firmware to the dload folder and use 3 combo button installation.
Or you can use this method : on your phone launch the phone dialer app and dial *#*#2846579#*#*. Next, select Project Menu – > Software upgrade – > SDcard upgrade – > and confirm the flashing process that is about to be initiated.
Good luck!

Yes, you can. Via OTA, or you can use TWRP (Meticulus 3.0.2.0 only ! ) and flash both .zip files. You must download two files:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v80474/f1/full/update.zip
and
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip.
In TWRP set Install, then select memmory SD card, and klick on
update.zip, confirm installation. After, STAY in TWRP, go back to Install, find file ...hw_eu....zip , confirm installation. Then select rebot system. Done!

Try it, but I think, you will get a message "not compatible" . Via dload its impossible, IMO use rather Huawei firmware finder or wait for OTA update.

If I said, it's impossible manually update to 381 or 389 using OTA firmware, trust me . Try Firmware finder. GL!

it worked with the dns method not the proxy (was keeping redownload infinite patch over 4gigs tot crazy)
i'm now back at b381 with sound but without my data, i'm trying to reach b389 and over, can i restore through twrp only data partition without a hitch?
in b389 emui is 5.0.1 if i remember right. its data compatible? are the data the cause of no sound? thanks
ALL WORKED FINE , ALL SOLVED. currently b391 (latest) emui 5.0.1 and all my data, super happy thank you
2EDIT: nfc chip still not work, when selected emui crash. minor problem..
note: twrp by (that you said) didn't work in emui 5+ i'm using newer revolution based one twrp 3.03

FF works with proxy fine, but you must first download and install Firmware finder proxy apk. On Nougat use TWRP 3.1.0-2.
