It worked for me ..
I was on the Indian variant for Honor 6+ Lollipop ..
All i did was follow the instructions in the rollback .doc file. Although it is mentioned in the 2nd step that the version should change to the transition package "PE-TL10C900B300" .. Well mine didn't !!
But then too i went ahead to the 3rd step nd it worked for me .. Im on Kitkat now ..
P.S : After updating to kitkat from the transition package during the first boot i got an error saying user partition unusable .. I had to factory reset it / Erase it .. I dont know what that meant please lemme know what that is (My SD Card was my default storage location).. But never the less kitkat is working fine .. I just now reinstalled kitkat via Recovery mode and m gonna root it now
PSS: I never backup since i only have movies n Tv shows in my SD Card ..
Cheers

How i reinstall kitkat from recovery.please provide steps
Thanks for your work

Downgrade Package Chinese Honor 6 Plus lollipop to kitkat
I am tryed Honor 6+ PE-TL10 Lollipop CN B351 EMUI3.1_ Android5.10.16. I happened more problems and issues:
- could not use talking clock aplications like Caynax Hourly Chime PRO, AutomateIt and AutoMagic (could not use speech rules with speaking clock in this apps);
- could not use apps that automatically activate phone speaker at the beginning of the incoming and outgoing call. I tryed AutomateIt and AutoMagic rules that activate speakerphone automatically, but it is run only to outgoing call;
- could not use applications like Missed Call Reminder (not call an SMS sound reminder and vibration).
Some applications that start after the phone starts up, certainly not start, even if I enabled these app settings on phone menu in settings - startup manager. Some applications with status bar notification and sound notification not run and not make notification, even I activated options with allow notifications on settings - notification center. I allowed all of apps to keep running after the screen is turned off, but in vain.
I could not downgrade to B260 KitKat until I found an special firmware B300 needed to downgrade Huawei Honor 6 Plus from Lollipop 5 to Kitkat 4 Android. I found this firmware very, very hard... I found only after I wrote Google search in Chinese language. Only a downgrade version from China was OK. A downgrade version from EU countries not run. I installed PE-TL10C900B324 EU 5.1.1 firmware version, then I tryed to install downgrade version from EU countries, but not run.
On an Europe and other countries Honor 6+ PE-TL10 firmware it is impossible to switch 3G/4G from SIM 1 to SIM 2. This setting is missing from the SIM card management phone menu.
You can download this downgrade firmware from here: http://www.4shared.com/zip/Uk1rNF9Hce/Honor_6_Plus_PE-TL10_downgrade.html

Found Marshmellow Update Link for Honor 7
Hi,
I have purchased this phone but sadly its Model Number PLK-UL00 not PLK-L01. I have upgraded to the latest build EMUI4.0_PLK-UL00_6.3.1 which is Android Version 6.0.
My question is - can I upgrade to EU version of the firmware PLK-L01 B320 or less. All I want is to get rid of all the chinese apps and replace them with pure google + english ones. Please help

Can you make a banana milkshake with strawberries? You can't. Same with installing the European build Android on Indian, Chinese etc.

First of all, thanks for posting the link and secondly you can very well update you mobile as I have already done that with your link

Hi - Indian firmware version starts with PLK-UL00IN. My mobile firmware version is PLK-UL00. Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to the India firmware.
My apologies to the admin in advance as I have posted similar question in a different thread. But this thread is more suitable to the topic. I am a novice when it comes to firmware.

I tried updating , it failed.. the software update guidelines.pdf which was part of the update states "software version control problems, you should firstly upgrade a transfer package provided by R&D." wher do i get that ?

Hi I updated it with the link provided. Did the archive download properly? Since it's an internal document, I don't think the package is available in public domain. You can check for the rollback package which is given in one of the threads. It might work. Or use the honor multi tool.
Btw, this update is 2 steps forward and one step back. Some good features like visitor mode have been removed. Call recording has become problematic. Previously, I could record easily using boldbeast call recorder. Settings are much more difficult to find. On the positive side, battery backup has jumped tremendously. Plugged out at 9.40 am today. My phone is still at 75 percent at 6.30 pm with moderate use. There is no doze mode setting but I think they have incorporated some features as I can see that phone goes into sleep when screen is off much more frequently. Also, the awesome themes that lollipop had are no more there. Not even the live wallpapers. Mixed feelings about the update overall.

MD5 checksum is F697BB78C8E8202DC78716C8647E8706.
Yeah I was on 160 and did a local update as you suggested. Better download it again. But frankly, I am finding the update more regressive than progressive.

I think many of us may not be aware as how to perform local update in honor 7 which has marshmallow installed on it. I have gone through it and understand how it feels when you download an update and while trying to find local update option update app. Its frustrating and discouraging too. But I could find the way to do it on some other site. Its simple and easy. Just see below.
How to Update
Unpack the firmware package on your computer.
Transfer the extracted dload folder to your phone’s microSD card.
Take a backup of your important stuff using Huawei’s native app.
Safely unplug the USB cable and turn your phone off.
Reboot while holding Vol Up + Vol down + Power for a few seconds. Release Power upon vibration.
Once the upgrade starts let go of the volume keys and allow the installation to proceed.
And enjoy

Before I answer your query regarding which version should you use, I would like to inform yo that I am using B341 and it has the option to use SD card as default storage. Pl check attached screen recording to enable the SD card. Secondly, I am afraid if all those version downloaded from needrom is applicable for Indian version. Pl check the pdf doc attached with the rom before flashing as it may brick your phone.
If you still need to roll back then follow the steps below:
1. Download the rollback package attached in post #2.
2. Copy it to dload folder in SD Card. (If dload does not exist then create one)
3. Switch off your mobile and wait for few seconds
4. Press volume up, volume down and power button and hold till phone vibrates
5. Leave all buttons and allow roll back package to be installed. Phone will restart automatically.
6. Download any version of Marshmallow of your choice but be careful that it should be for Indian variant only.
7. Delete the rollback package from dload folder and copy newly downloaded LL package and repeat the flashing procedure.
** Enjoy ..

Did you check whether SD card is working as default storage?

Did your charging time get effected on 341?
My honor 7 got charged for like 45% in 122 minutes to be precise.
Where tf is fast charging gotta roll back asap.
I'll miss the screen recording and scrollshot in 5.0

Thank you first of all that you took out time to help me. I do understand that there is an option. I'm also using B341 but ever since I formatted my phone, that option isn't showing anymore. I've attached a screen for your reference. I was on lollipop when I got an OTA update of MM and I updated it. After that also that memory change option was there. Then a 182 MB OTA update came and I updated that too. Default memory option was still there. But then I factory restored my phone, still on B341 but that default memory option is gone, I don't know why
Surprisingly on twitter when I asked official honor support the same thing, they replied that in MM there's no such option by which I cud change default storage to external memory card. I was like....what the hell!! Bcoz I was using ext card as my default storage earlier on MM only.
Also there are lot of bugs like...
1. When I restart my phone I automatically get logged out of my apps like Twitter, One Drive etc.
2. My notification tones which I've set like custom notifications of Whats App and default tones of twitter etc gets set to default everytime I reboot my phone.
3. Also fast charging was blazing fast on this phone when it was on 5.0.X lollipop but ever since I updated to 6.0 MM, its not working that fast.
Waiting for your response. Also if you can tell me ur phone number so I cud reach u directly n sooner on Whats App or fb/twitter may be

Hullo, I am also looking to downgrade from MM (B341) to one of the earlier Lollipop versions ...
I was able to download the first file - the (transfer package) update.app
But... the link in the pdf file in post#2 (for PLK-UL00C675B170, THE FULL PACKAGE) doesnt have any Lollipop firmware to download - where / how do i get that?
needrom has a few options, but it agonizingly slow, and i would rather get the file from an official source....
What can i do?

Thanks.i am also thinking of downgrading to lollipop.Im not getting fast charging option after updating to marshmallow.u all getting fast charging option settings after marshmallow update?After update now it is taking more that 2 hours for full charge.Previously it was one hour only.Please help me to guide in this issue.Im confused whether i should downgrade or not.Im not at all satisfied after update.The default huwaei browser has gone.Now there is chrome only.For file trransfer usb mass storage mode of memory card is not available now

Hi Abhishek, I suggest you to downgrade to lollipop and again upgrade to marshmallow. But But this time you upgrade directly to B341 from B170. Factory restore after up gradation and see. Hope this will help you get the functionality.

Huawei p8 GRA-L09 C109B190 Marshmallow update

Hello, just want to know how to update my phone to Marshmallow?
Model: Huawei GRA-L09
Build: GRA-L09 C109B190
Android version: 5.0.2
EMUI version: EMUI 3.1
Thank you so much in advance

You don't mention which country & network operator, so safest way for now is to try an OTA update from within your phone: Settings > Update > Check for updates.
Also try: HiCare app > Me tab > Check for updates and HiCare app > Service tab > OS Upgrade Early Adopters
If already done, & it doesn't work, & you are from France & purchased the phone from Orange, then follow bflatmajor's successful method (1st & last post) in this thread: Huawei P8 help request
Edit: Also, from B200, it should be possible to go to B370 next (so you can skip the B321a update).
If you are from a different country & operator, please let us know.
It is not clear from bflatmajor's thread exactly which pages/tutorials/downloads he used on the German site to do the updates. Also, it looks like he updated B190 to B200 first, then to B321a - so would be best to post in the above thread to confirm this, & also the pages/tutorials/downloads he used on the German site.
Precautions & Disclaimer:
1. Before attempting, make sure you have done a thorough, restorable backup
2. Have enough battery power remaining (or keep it plugged in during the update)
3. Do not interrupt the updating process in any way
4. After updating to Marshmallow using bflatmajor's method, your phone will most probably not receive any more OTA updates from Orange, & may also invalidate the phone's warranty.
5. If anything goes wrong, you could end up with a bricked/non-working/irreparable phone, which is your responsibility alone. So, if it is working fine now, best to leave alone.

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10 and I updated to Android Nougat two days back. Here is how I did. First step is to get the Huawei ID.
1) I followed the instructions in this youtube video. Watch the video and you will know where to click on that fancy looking icon on webpage to get the code. once you get the code,put in your email, type the password, confirm the password and done.
I found an english website where you can register for Huawei ID Click Here
2) You now have the Huawei ID.
3) Go to settings and then log in using the Huawei ID in (screenshot attached below)
4) In the settings - > go to Huawei ID -> put in your login credentials and you should see "account center" on top. Below you should see member -> gold membership. Click on that. (screenshot attached below)
5) Now you will see Manuals, Service, Forum, Member. From this click on "service" and below select - > update (screenshot attached below)
6) Here you will see Nougat update. It will be 2.10 gb and you can update to Nougat very easily from here. It is matter of few minutes before it restarts and finishes the Nougat update process.
This process doesn't require any root and it takes a total of 20 minutes or so. Since my Mate 8 and didn't want to root so quickly, I followed this procedure. And it worked. Now Mate 8 is butter smooth. It is really worth. My mate 8 is different model than yours so I dont know if you can do the same process but you can try and see if it works out for you. Hope I explained properly and hope you succeed.
Cheers!

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10 and I updated to Android Nougat two days back. Here is how I did. First step is to get the Huawei ID.
1) I followed the instructions in this youtube video. Watch the video and you will know where to click on that fancy looking icon on webpage to get the code. once you get the code,put in your email, type the password, confirm the password and done.

THIS WORKS. Why Huawei has to make this process so complicated is beyond me, but after countless attempts at getting to nougat via fastboot, twrp, etc, I am finally downloading the legit OTA with this method.

I have NXT L29. I tried your method, but in my phone there is no sign of gold member.
How to obtain the gold member?
I can't see the huawei services inside my huawei ID.
Thanks

Huawei Membership & Services

Hi,
I didn't do anything special to get gold membership. When I logged in with my Huawei ID it was automatically showing Gold Membership.
Your model is NXT-L29 , since it is an international model may be because of that reason you are not able to see I think.
But to show the Huawei services you can try the following steps.
1) Open the Huawei ID
2) Click on the membership details ( If you have the option, I hope it is showing some kind of membership )
3) Select - member -> settings ( screenshot attached )
4) Then under Settings - > Location ( screenshot attached )
5) Under Location - > Select "China" & region -> Asia Pacific (Screenshot attached ) [You can change this to your region any time later]
6) Now go to Service - > Update ( Here you should see the new OS version and size of the file if everything is ok)
This process worked for me because my phone model is NXT-AL10. I purchased just few days back. As soon I received it, I did it this way as I felt this was lot safer and easier. You can also try the above steps. If it works then you will be able to update to Android Nougat very easily. Nougat is really awesome on Huawei Mate 8. Give it a try. I hope it works for you.
Cheers!

Hi Sam, ok i have registered for Huawei ID (english link is SOOOO good).
then, i need to install new version of HiCare and it installs Huawei ID for me. after that i can login with my Huawei ID, and see the member/service/manual/me menus, but after go into "OS Update early adopter" there is nothing.
Maybe because im still at emui 4.0?? (NXT-L09C636B211).
but there is no more update for me (checked from the seettings -> updater

Upate - Location - China

Hi,
You have done everything right.
Is yours single sim chinese model? NXT-L09
if yes, then it should work unless they explicitly allowed only NXT-AL10 to do it this way which I doubt that is the case here.
Did you set the location to china?
Do you have same menus or is it different? Please check the screenshots if you and I have same options in that App.
I am asking this because I didn't have "OS update early adopter". For me, I just see service and under that "update". Another thing is I used Huawei ID from settings directly even though Hicare was showing the same thing.
I received a new update B573 today. I hope you get it too.
My update process - > EMUI 4.0 -> EMUI 4.1 -> EMUI 5.0. When I received my phone I got update for EMUI 4.1 and then I updated to 5.0. That is how it happened for me.
Cheers!

Hi.
No, mine is single sim but L09C636xxx. I am from Australia and this is the official mate 8 that is sold in my country.
therefore when i select region i choose Australia not China.
No the menus are slightly different and i have less icons. also the icon i have is "OS update early adopter" not just "update".
i tried to go from huawei ID from settings directly but cannot find services (and not gold membership either). just account and then next screen is "phone" and "email". i really need to go from HiCare to see "service" menu.
also, my latest is B211 and this is still 4.0 i dont have emui 4.1 yet maybe thats why...
many people say this model L09 is not good because less support from huawei.
thanks anyway will wait for emui 5 maybe next year

It is still possible

Hi,
Yes menus are slightly different.
The version of my HiCare is 5.0.1.303.
But you can get those extra options by changing the location from Australia to China and region to Asia pacific (its just temporary). I am in US.
This process is reversible. I tried it on my phone. when I changed my location to US on the phone, I didn't see lot of options but the moment I changed it back to China I was able to see all the options.Since you are not doing anything risky, it is worth a try because Android Nougat is really amazing.
You can try one last time by changing the location and see if it works. If you succeed your phone will have Nougat and if you don't at the most what can happen is you won't see any update.
So it is not all over. You still have that opportunity to update to Nougat by doing this way.
This phone is a beast and it will feel like a completely different phone with Nougat.
I want you to enjoy that and feel the difference. I am sorry if I am being too pushy. I am just excited about this phone because I feel your phone is just one step closer to Android Nougat. And that is why I am encouraging you to give one last try. I hope you succeed. Good luck.
Cheers!

I tried to change my location, but when I choose China, after i save it, it turns back to my location (Poland). Any solutions?

Hi,
Did you change the region to Asia Pacific? if not please do that also. You have to change the region to Asia Pacific along with location to China. Both of these steps are important and required. That option is just above the place where you change the location to China.
I hope it works for you.
Cheers!
Sam

I tried it few times and it keeps returning to Europe and Poland :/

Hi, 
 @erwinsie & @klekot31
You both still have hope. Different countries get update at different times.
So the update might take a little time to reach your country.
I am saying this because, I saw Google+ post in Huawei mate 8 community for italy where they received the B573 first but I didn't see the update until 2 days later. I was also little sad at first but suddenly I saw the update and boom I updated it Nougat latest version.
So my sincere request. Please put the country as China, region as asia pacific and then leave it for few days or say 10 days or may be a month. You might see the update suddenly popping up on your screen. It should work. You can always revert this back to your region and country once you finish installing Nougat. It is reversible process. So from my experience it is not all over for you guys. You still have hope. It is just a matter of time. Even though you don't see the update for the moment, it is not over you might see it in coming days or weeks.
Cheers!
Sam

sure will do! and thank you

I have a NXT-L09 too in New Zealand (Asia Pacific) I followed all this so I can upgrade from Mashmellow to Nougat and it keeps saying I have the latest software and no software is made available from early adopters
Seems odd that its Oct 2018 and I have to stay on Mashmellow. When I tried a manual update by downloading the firmware and using the stock loader it fails at 5%
