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

Has anyone downloaded and updated the mate 8 with this update from FF?
If yes please let me know your comments so as to decide whether to update as well.
Am currently on C185B190.
Does not seen i Shall ever get an update to nougat.
Thank you

I updated my phone to B321 two days ago. Is seems to be smoother, but it may be like this because I did factory reset that day

Which file u download ... 1.9GB or 400 MB OTA... And do u download it from the F. F apps

I did mine through FF, sending it to the stock update app. Seems a little smoother. With the glitches still coming from
time to time with a lot of people appear to be having with emui5/nogut7 I think I'll hold off on updating to any emui5 firmware.

I'll update to emui 5.0 when they will release something newer than B560.
BTW, I also updated my phone trough FF.

I am on L29C185B200 ... I want to update B560 ... But when I try to download it from the firmware finder app... It's only downloads 74%... It's full file size is 1.87GB but it downloads only 1.4GB ... Help me please

Hi. I am on L29C185b320 can any one suggest a proper way and firmware to upgrade plz.

Try Firmware Finder app for Huawei...

In FF, turn off "use new firmware base" and "view OTA updates"
When I did that, the ONLY firmware that shows up is the 321 firmware OR EARLIER.
I'm of the opinion, I'm going to leave the new firmware base & view OTA off until I see
the "official" version of 7, then wait a couple weeks to see how it works out.

I'm also trying to get 7.0 update... In Firmware Finder it's showing B560 but I can't download it ... There is a problem with the system ...

Doubt there is a problem with the system, it's because your build, will not allow the updating of an OTA version most likely.
In the setting of the FF program, turn off OTA and then look for firmware. When I did that last week, the 321 build was the
only option I had. My guess is that when/if a FULL build for our particular phone is available, with the OTA turned off, a
full build will show up.
But, that is just a theory on my part.

What's your build number ... Mine is L29C185B200...

US Tablet User - Can I get to Nougat?

Hi all, I'm a US user with W09 and would like to get it to Nougat - I have read the entire "Update to EMUI 5.0" thread and there appeared to be several possible routes, but most were regarding the European version.
I have a US Wi-Fi model and have no allegiance in keeping it a US one, if there's a way to remove the regional aspect to gain access to the update (BETA or otherwise).
I would greatly appreciate if someone who has some experience with or is very confident of the correct path would shed some light for me.
Thank you!

I've just finished reading the entire thread linked above that mentions that method a number of times, so I'm certainly familiar with it, but haven't tried it because sprinkled throughout that thread are plenty of issues encountered. Also, there's no mention of US hardware/firmware specific instructions.
I'm on W09 as mentioned in the OP - thanks for the reply!

I'm away from my tablet at the moment but will do later on when I get home.

We will see after that what we can do. I have updated my tablet to Nougat, but I have BTV-DL09 (4G European version).
To change region I think you have to unlock bootloader.

Here's what's in firmware finder @33adi

What's the advantage to switching from US to EU roms? I unlocked, rooted, enabled 5ghz band for wifi, and now only need nougurt but much like the original poster not sure the best route.

The advantage of removing the US stock rom is that the European one has a beta available that is very stable. My thread is seeking someone who's confident of the steps to 1st going European & 2nd installing nougat once there, as there was some debate of complexity to doing even that.

I've been through exactly what you are wanting to do @dutchdoggs54 . Unfortunately I can't tell you step by step how I got to where I'm at.
I was on W09128BXXX out of the box . Read the topic that you have linked in your first post and decided to do it using firmware finder to force the update to Nougat as they described. It actually went very well and Nougat worked great with the exception of Bluetooth not working.
I have to say during the upgrade when it booted into recovery and it was TWRP I was concerned. Believe it had an error but it worked and replaced TWRP as I recall with a stock recovery.
So after all that I decided I wanted my tablet branded as a BTV-W09C100B006. Below is the topic where a member thought they bricked their tablet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/how-to/bricked-m3-btv-w09-t3612699
They were given directions to download the Full update package for the version I just mentioned.
This member got their tablet working again and in the process found that 5Ghz wifi is enabled on C100B006 by default.
That was the main reason I rooted my tablet.
I followed the directions knowing I force install a different version of Nougat from your link.
Downloaded the full version software and dropped it in the dload folder on my US tablet and did the upgrade.
Tablet rebooted and shortly after it rebooted again going to recovery (I tried may times to boot). Don't recall the error but after I unlocked my bootloader again it reset the tablet and I was able to access it again. I did relock the bootloader so I can see updates without any problems after that.
In the end I got what I was after. My tablet shows as a BTV-W09C100B006 and can check for updates.
5Ghz wifi is enabled by default. As I said I relocked the bootloader so I'm not rooted. Overall it's works so well I'll wait for Nougat to get released and then do the official upgrade. After the scare of booting to recovery it was worth every nervous minute of it.

Try to talk to OP from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/...-root-t3374068
Maybe he can make this app available to Mediapad M3, then changing OEMINFO will be easy.
I posted a question there.

No luck
Ok, so I tried following @Samavb's great instructions and guidance in the other thread last night. Made it all the way to the point where he says to install 009 from the Huawei website - got it downloaded and loaded up on the tablet only to find that it wouldn't install because the 009 file on the website is BTV-DL09 not the BTV-W09 version a US tablet would need.
So I got frustrated and tried installing the B301 build that appeared on firmware finder when I was on the W09-006 build...this was nougat and was cool but no keyboard and the play store wouldn't install anything, so I was forced to revert back to 006.
So, long story short, hours of work have confirmed that there doesn't appear to be a way to get a US tablet to fully functional Nougat at the moment. If there was a 009 or 010 build like Samavb mentions for the US model, maybe it would work, but those aren't anywhere to be found - firmware finder, russian site he mentions or otherwise.
So, I'll happily sit on 006 and wait for a US OTA update. That is unless anyone can tell me exactly how to make this US model into a European model.

Same boat as original poster. US w09 on build c128b003. Firmware finder just finds the same version. Anyone know when there might be a us version update released. I thought it was supposed to be may so have been waiting patiently.....but may is over.

In Firmware Finder select the menu in the top left corner. (3 bars)
Right below your model number, select change model and enter BTV-W09C100 and then search.
You should see B301 and it's a full OTA. However, as I understand it this is just a beta/test release.
Only issue I had with it, bluetooth didn't work. Seeing as how I don't use it, didn't bother me.
I highly recommend you fall back to the other topic about forcing the upgrade to Nougat.
Only difference from my tablet and yours. I was on C128B002. I had already rooted and couldn't get that update.

Also US 64gb version here and hoping for an update to Nougat and EM5. Would love to see it!
Huawei have been quite attentive for updates in other markets which is great. Too bad the non-LTE version in US doesn't get the same love.
Buying this tablet was a roll of the dice for me, banking on the hope that Huawei would be attentive to software updates (for all markets) and custom ROMs could serve as back up/enjoyment. This tablet has solid hardware and with another launcher it is decent.
Sadly, my experiment to try out a non-Nexus device without the latest (or close to pure) Android version is coming to an end. The last M3 sold on Swappa went for around $300.

from what i gather. if you're going from MM to Nougat, you need to install the Full OTA. for that, there are 2 files, you will need both of them. from there, i'm not sure.

I have a few questions about updating my phone properly

Hello!
Disclaimer before I get scolded. I did search the forums and I read a lot of posts, I just feel like none answer my question specifically.
What I did: I used to run custom MiFavor ROM. I wanted to return stock and get the latest OTA, so using the Axon 7 Toolbox, I returned to stock using the: A2017G_B10_FULL_EDL.zip; this ROM refused to update, every time it would fine an OTA, but it failed to apply it in recovery.
I downloaded a system image from the ZTE website named: ZTE A2017GV1.2B05
When I try to search for updates, this one reports that it's "up to date"
My questions:
1. There was an update for the german version of A2017G. Will my romanian version ever get updated? How come some counties get updates while others do not since we don't depend on a carrier to approve the update?
2. Is it true that the G version will never be upgraded to android 8? I noticed some people said we will never get the MiFavor 5. Is it possible to get Oreo and stay on MIFavor 4.2?
3. I noticed a post today that the chinese version got upgraded to MiFavor 5.x/Android 8. Is there any way to convert my A2017G to chinese version for the sake of having all features?
PS As you might have noticed, I am a bit obsessed with having the latest version installed. Any tip/advice on what is the best course of action for me would be greatly appreciated.

G model will get Oreo just not in 2017 as Zte reps said they need to work on it more,
Android Oreo,it has proven buggy so they wanted to take more time work on it.
Updating is a hassle yes, you need certain type of update file, on certain types of rom updated on certain type of way.
but there are instructions for that so no worries.
thats all i can say
if this was helpfull in any way, smack that Thanks button :laugh:
Cheers!

German B08 is the latest Nougat for A2017G. You should be on at least B10 MM first, then put the zip on SD card, go to update in settings and it should show the update ready to go. Hit the button to flash it.
There is a newer B11 MM rom too. I think it can also be used to roll back to MM from N.

Any full zip is okay to roll back to M, the B11 zip has that name simply to differentiate from incremental OTAs and such stuff.
Plus B11 was only for Spain, didn't differ much from B10

new firmware Versions in "Firmwarefinder for Huawei"

Hi,
I have an Huawei P10 Plus Dual SIM VKY-L29C636 with the current running Firmware VKY-L29C636B172
The last update was in November 2017 since then I don't get any new Updates displayed in the settings.
I downloaded the App "Firmwarefinder for Huawei" and it shows me the following newer Firmware Versions:
VKY-L29C636B210
VKY-L29C636B211
Does anyone use this new Versions?
Should I update to one of this new Versions?

Just check firmware access see if you approved to update. My FF already shows B301 which is Oreo but denied access when checking it.
Depends where you live. I got tge same phone and I don't have access to download and update.

The latest model is 211 and you can install it via HWOTA. I don't know anyone using this version. But probably there were no changes after all. Only simple performance tweaks. Otherwise software already stable.

For me latest firmware is 321 however says not authorised to download it..

I've installed the new Version VKY-L29C636B212
It has the Android Security Patches from January 2018
The first thing I discovered, that the phone runs a lot smoother, espacally when scrolling websides in Firefox.
The secound thing I discovered, is that the phone has more free ram, old Version round about 3,6GB, the B212 has 4,5GB free ram.
This are the first impressions, if i discover more, I let you know.

You download full OTA or OTA?

I did the Full OTA, but be carefull there are 2 Versions!
The Version with "PV" didn't work and almost bricked my Phone. I had to load an older Version thru recovery to get it back working.
The Version "FullOTA-MF" is working fine, I only had to wipe the cache and make an Factorydefault after updating, because the phone was in
a boot loop.
My Phone is running fine with the Version 212 and has now a way better Batterylife :good:

Ota would come from your Huawei updater in over a week or so. Just update it if you authorised.

Now I have Updated to Oreo :good:
Everything works fine, I have only one question:
The Phone is using the Treble Project (see screenshot).
Why is there only one partition, does this mean that fast Updates are not working?

You have to have 3 partition for treble.. And even tho Huawei said p10 plus supports treble it's not the case. Or maybe need to do full factory reset so new firmware will partition correctly im not sure
