update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.
update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"
update_all_hw.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "hw/spcseas/update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip"
C. Observe "update.zip" size, choose more than 1GB file size FULL OTA from previous step. Example MHA-AL00C00B167 filelist Link, , all three update files and path are in the filelist.xml content.
update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.
update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"

(Rebrand thanks to @backb0ne5p1d0r)
(Oeminfo thanks to @5[Strogino])
Base: HWOTA_2017050101_Base.zip
OS:
Windows -> HWOTA_2017050101_Windows.zip
Linux -> HWOTA_2017050101_Linux.zip
Model:
Mate 9 -> HWOTA_2017050101_MHA.zip
Mate 9 Pro -> HWOTA_2017050101_LON.zip [Not Verified]
P10 -> HWOTA_2017050201_VTR.zip [Thanks to @crucky verify]
P10 Plus -> HWOTA_2017050401_VKY.zip
B. Run batch file "update.bat" or "update.sh" for same model update or rebrand with/without sdcard.
C. OEMInfo files are included for selection under rebrand.
D. Rebrand flash twice. Select "Rebrand" update type on the first time, and select "Same model update" on the second time. You may need to do factory default to get all app installed.
E. Follow message steps update should be done.
Hmm. Sound's good.
Are you hacking stock recovery to install everything what you want?
Did you test by self?
Main problem is to manually force update via stock recovery. But if you're using TWRP, so problem is to install full update. TWRP does not have support of special update commands.
Q: Are you hacking stock recovery to install everything what you want?
A: Only bypass auth and some checks. See Prepare and Notice B.
Q: Did you test by self?
A: Yes, see Prepare and Notice E.

I believe so too. (That in theory this should work for rebranding.)
Looking at the batch file, I'd say you're supposed to restore oeminfo while the batch file is showing "D. Connect usb cable before next step.". if you want to rebrand.
Would love to try it. But I've just used this method to update into L29C636B180. Wouldn't want to reset all settings again. So please try it and let us know what happens if you rebrand!
and to the OP, Thank you again! I'm honestly so happy that we finally do not have to use "proprietary" services as someone puts it to update our phones hahah.

Only test it after rebrand, because

I don't think you can yet, unless rooting enables it, since you can't read/write to /cache/. On the root of the /sdcard/ partition is a logcat.txt file (pull it via adb) that shows the initial update process. URL of the update, along with where it's stored and where the recovery expects to find it.

Greetings by Idijt
Hi all! After sarchin' on the net (and haven't found anything good), I'll make a guide on How to unroot, unbrick 'n' lock your device.
BEFORE ALL
There is one problem: The rollbacks don't exist for all models, so this guide isn't for everything models. I don't recommend to use it for India, China, Middle East regions' versions.
You can find everything needed for you
HERE for the FRD-L09
HERE for the FRD-L04 (thanks to @matt914)
TESTED DEVICES
FRD-L09 (By me)
FRD-L04 (By @matt914 again)
Code:
/*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this GUIDE
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
WHAT YOU NEED
1. Your device (that guide is only for Honor 8)
2. Your rollback and MM packages WATCH HERE
3. A MicroSD card and its MicroSD/SD or MicroSD/USB reader
4. Your PC (I've tested it with linux, but You can use Windows too).
5. Your USB cable
HOW TO
1. Download the rollback and the MM firmware from hihonor
2. Extract the zip packages, you'll find a dload folder and some pdfs (you can delete these pdfs)
FOR LINUX
3. Before all install the android-tools (google is your friend on that)
4. With THAT you'll be able to extract files from MM UPDATE.APP (thanks to @marco.minetti), you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a terminal on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
sudo fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
FOR WINDOWS
3. Before all install the minimal android tool (google is your friend on that)
4. With Huawei Extractor tool, you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img (FROM THE MM UPDATE.APP)
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a CMD (with administrator access) on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
AT THE END
If you have followed the instructions correctly you'll with a device with MM firmware. It will download b380 and than b389 (for the FRD-L09 version).
Flashing the MM package will lock your device (not relock) so you don't need the fastboot oem lock [key]

Hi,
Sorry, but i followed your steps. Package is corrupted.
This is an updated guide for the Samsung S8+ (G955F) version for the new beta 3.
I thought I would put this guide out there as this was the easiest I found and the bonus is that you keep your data and just upgrade over the top.
All credit to jaron vdb from Telegram. This is his backup and he has given me permission to use it. He is the brains – I am just good at writing easy to use guides!
Pre-requisite:
-you need to have a working TWRP
-you need an external sd card
Steps:
1. Get into TWRP and backup your current rom to your external SD card. We will need this later to restore the data and importantly: if things go wrong you can always restore back again to what you have now.
Once it has been backed up you will have a folder on your external sd card that looks something like this:
Name of your External SD card/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just backed up in step 1]
2. Download this file and save it to your External SD CARD:

This is your TWRP restore file kindly provided by jaron vdb.
3. Once you have downloaded that file then you will need to unzip this file. Use something like 7zip from Playstore and extract that file you downloaded to this location you just created with Step 1 – something like:
External SD CARD/TWRP/BACKUPS/ce04873839487e8383/[the name of the file you just unzipped]
This is a very important step – you must extract the file you downloaded to this EXACT location.
4. Go here and download supersu 2.82SR5 to your external SD Card:
https://androidfilebox.com/app/supersu-root/
This is the only root version working at the moment – magisk does not work as of now. It is Supersu which works perfectly. It also has dm-verity on it so will allow you access to data in TWRP.
5. Ok we are ready to flash the Beta 2! Get into TWRP again
6. Hit the restore button and then go to your external SD Card and restore the file that you downloaded and had to extract. You will also see your other restore in there. Don’t touch that just yet.
7. Stay in TWRP and now go to Wipe and then go to Format Data and then type in yes
8. Stay in TWRP and now go to Restore and choose the first file you backed up in Step 1 – your original backed up ROM. Choose this file and then ONLY TICK data to install. Restore data.
9. Stay in TWRP and flash the supersu file you downloaded.
10. Reboot!
11. You now should be rebooted back into your original rom with the very smooth Beta 3 installed!
12. Now you have to make the fix so you don’t get a buttload of random reboots and Knox nonsense. Download Root Explorer or any build prop editor program from Playstore and change:
ro.config.tima=1 to ro.config.tima=0
and change Knox thingo to v30 like this:
ro.config.knox=v30
Mine was already on v30 but YMMV
13. Have a cup of tea.
Can confirm working on G955F
Did exactly as instructed and all is well so far
Thank you
Will these steps work if I'm on 7.0
Or are these only for people who have already upgraded to oreo b1 / b2?
Thanks in advance.
One more question, can I use it on G955FD?

Same as above. As long as you have a TWRP backup on the external sd then give it a try.

Ah tricky. You'd need a back up to be safe. Doesn't flashify have a backup option?
Yes.... who cares if i have to re root then beta 2 oreo
I tried with 955U, flashfire cant find the backup file for oreo beta. Only shows my own backup

Pretty sure you'll need twrp.
Confirm working on G955FD.
Toggle Network Type was not working but is OK after reboot.
However, AdAway is unable to download host files. Searching for solutions, will update if am successful in resolving the problem.
All other root apps I have are working perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestion.
hosts file location is still system/etc
Just needed to change hosts file permissions to rw-rw-rw- in root explorer and now its working fine.
What about beta 3 for the s8 (not plus)?
Will this trip the knox counter?
