[FONT="]As some of us including myself have been wondering how do i update my honor 7 while running android 5.0.2 to the latest Marshmallow 6.0 update if my honor 7 is rooted?
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have successfully updated to The latest Marshmallow 6.0 using this method[/FONT][FONT="] and i was running b180 rooted
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have a uk version of honor 7 so the process will be the same except the firmware files for your country.[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Please back your phone as i have done with titanium backup and Hisuite
[FONT="]I[/FONT] don't take any responsibility for any damage caused by your mistakes[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT] [FONT="]Step 1: We need to unroot honor 7 before doing anything else
open superSU scroll down and you will see an option full unroot click and phone should reboot sometime it may not reboot so dont worry just to be sure download root checker app from play store to see if unroot has been successful[/FONT]
[FONT="]Step 2: Head to your computer and download and install the following tool:
[/FONT][FONT="]http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2433454[/FONT]

[/FONT][FONT="]http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/3...s-121115-b140/[/FONT][FONT="]
Then, extract it and get its UPDATE.app file.[/FONT]
· [FONT="]Step 4: [/FONT]Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract the (BOOT.img), (SYSTEM.img), (RECOVERY.img), (CACHE.img), (CUST.img),) from the UPDATE.app file that you have extracted from Step 3.
[FONT="]Step 5: Open your command prompt, and navigate to the right directory where you have extracted the image files. Use the “cd” and “..” commands to do so.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Step 6: Type the following commands and execute them one by one
[/FONT]
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloaderTest if your device is detected by typing
the following command fastboot devices while you are in the bootloader mode
Then execute the these commands
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
[FONT="]Step 7: Navigate to your sd card and copy the dload [/FONT]folder that you have extracted from Step 3 to the root of your sd card. Note inside the dload folder is the update file UPDATE.APP
· [FONT="]Step 8: Hold volume + and volume – at the same time then hold the power button don’t let go until you see Huawei software installation screen, Once installation is done phone will reboot and android system will load after setup process you will get a ota update notification, Click on it and update to b180 [/FONT]
· [FONT="]Step 9: Go to http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/ and [/FONT][FONT="]Download the latest complete update file honor 7 firmware[/FONT][FONT="] (PLK-L01, Andriod 6.0, EMUI4.0, C432B330, United Kingdom) [/FONT]
Step 10: Extract The files download in Step 9 And you will see a folder called dload copy that folder to the root of your sd card .
Note if you already have a folder called dload then just copy the APDATE.APP from the dload folder to your sd cards dload folder
· [FONT="]Step [FONT="]11[/FONT]: Hold volume + and volume – at the same time then hold the power button don’t let go until you see Huawei software installation screen[/FONT]
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.
Hello, today i have decided to update to nougat so i have downloaded and installed CAN-L01C150B330 from firmware search, when i go to settings the updater tab is missing, if i search updater on setting, updater is show but i can`t open it....so i have tried to do a factory reset, phone boot into recovery stared factory reset but stopped at 5%.
I am the only one with the missing updater and the factory reset error?
What i`m doing wrong?
Here are the steps fallowed to install nougat:
- unlock bootloader
- download the firmware
- extract update.app and copy to dload folder in the root of sd card
- extract recovery.img from update.app with huawei extract tool
- flash extracted recovery.img with fastboot
- boot into recovery and update to nougat.
I had the same issue. After i installed the eu update package, i got the updater in settings back.

how did you install?? i have tried to install as instructed but update failed
make it like Jozinek has written in this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-plus/how-to/c432b320-android-7-0-available-try-t3527084)
only i have the eu update package just as extracted and installed as the full package.
1. download both zip files
2. extract the full update zip and put the UPDATE.APP file in the dload directory on the root of your sd card
3. force updating by (poweroff your phone and) holding all three buttons on right side together
4. wait until the update is complete
5. extract the eu update zip and put the UPDATE.APP file in the dload directory on the root of your sd card
6. force updating by (poweroff your phone and) holding all three buttons on right side together
7. you have it (i hope so )

Still i am not able to install the eu pack, uptade stops at 52%.
i dont know, if anything is wrong with your unlocked bootloader combined with the update package. that is the only idea i have.

In got the same problem. Don't you have a small update package for eu verion? I didn't manage to install update for eu version so i'm stuck at beta version, i have to wait the official stable release.
Look here https://www.google.ro/amp/www.theandroidsoul.com
Long story short; I wiped system and everything on this device, so all I really have on it working now is TWRP. The official FullOTA updates fail in TWRP, erecovery fails, and recovery in hisuite fails. I assume the last two will fail because of the third party recovery. So I guess I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of the official recovery that I can fastboot flash, or any other way to reload the ROM?
Full story; I got this new tablet last week, and I unlocked, installed TWRP, and rooted successfully. Then I broke google services with a dodgy gapps install that I didn't need, couldnt figure out how to unflash it, and wiped everything like an idiot.
Thanks if anyone can help.
Update; I guess the root of the problem is that I'm unable to mount /data? Any actions I take in TWRP give me the error "Failed to mount '/data'", including if I do a wipe data or try to change the file system. I've used "Huawei Update Extractor" to see if there is a data.img, but it looks like no.
Update 2: Still not sure what this was all about, but I extracted system.img from "Huawei Update Extractor" and fastboot flashed that, and it looks like everything is working again. Haven't checked TWRP to see if it still gives errors on the data partition, but I'm at least in the OS and google play services are working.
Download latest firmware for your device from Huawei server and extract it. Make a new folder on external sdcard, named dload. Copy extracted file (update.app) in this folder. Power off device and turn it on using 3 button method: volume up + volume down + power - old all 3 buttons simultaneously.
It will start the update/flash process. It will install factory firmware on your device.
When you download Firmware, in the archive you will find these steps (PDF file).
Next time you can try this

Wrong. He installed TWRP so there is not a functional recovery.
The right thing is to extract the Recovery from the Update.app and flash it, then use the dload method.

Actually, I did try that, but I put stock recovery back on and and tried the dload method, it still failed int he same way as with TWRP installed.
What ended up working was extracting system.img from the update and fastboot flashing it. Not very intuitive. I am still getting "Failed to mount '/data'" errors in TWRP now, but haven't looked much into it yet. That is weird, I guess if everything is working it is more a problem with TWRP, because if everything is running and booting /data should be fine.
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
Hi could someone help me with detailed instructions on how to go back to stock rom for Huawei P Smart FIG-LX1
coming from PHH AOSP project treble rom
I used firmware finder on pc
downloaded an update.zip file
Created a folder called DLOAD on my sd card ( external )PP file
copied the Update.APP file into there
I had a screen that said Installing update... 5%
The phone turned off then turned back on
I tried again and I got software installation failed
Edit: unpacking the system.img and kernel.img from the update.APP file through a tool called Huawei Update extractor and flashing through fastboot worked
OK Download the stock rom via firmwarefinder and copy it to SD Card ....Download huru updater and copy them to the update.zip. .......Boot into Twrp install ....huru updater and press Down or up the flash beginns after few minutes you can reboot .....enjoy New stock Rom ?
