I bought the European Huawei U8860 (Honor) some days ago.
My previous phone was a HTC Hero that has served me for several years. When I first got that one I rooted it and
got a quite good ROM onto it no problem, but my new Honor doesn't seem to be as "willing."
I would like to acchieve root, and a good stable, standard android rom with as little extra bloatware as possible.
The rom that was bundeled with it is nice and stable, but it's full of Huawei's "essential applications" whom I'm not to found of.
Therefore I thought I could root it and remove all the unnecessary stuff, but I haven't found any way that works.
After trying to root the bundeled rom I switched to upgrading to the official ICS released by Huawei, because it's supposed to be easier to root. It's not working either.
Here's what I've tried in detail:
* I've tried flashing the small UPDATE.APP that's supposed to let you root it with SuperOneClick, it unpacks and then fails showing a yellow warning symbol.
In the log I can read this:
Code:
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾Æ¥Åäʧ°Ü.dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
* I've used SuperOneClick, it connects fine and interacts with the phone correctly but for some reason it hangs at
"step 7" Afterwards the phone isn't rooted.
* I've downloaded and tried updating to the "Cambodian ICS demo" found at Huawei's international site.
It fails in the same way as the UPDATE.APP. "dload/sd_update.log" reads
Code:
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾Æ¥Åäʧ°Ü.dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
afterwards.
My SDcard is formatted in FAT32. The update program finds the update files and unpacks them.
Then as it's about to start installing, it fails.
Some of my theories:
Something wrong with my SDcard? Seems unlikely since my phone can read and write it fine and the updateprogram even manages to unpack the update.
Some sort of certificate problem? Are the updates signed in some way?
I've never seen anyone with my buildnumber (see below). Could it be that Huawei has some extra upped security in my version of the rom?
System information:
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number: U8860V100R001EURC00B875
Kernel:2.6.35.7-perf, [email protected]#1
I figured that this would be the best fit for questions about the Huawei Honor U8860. If I'm wrong, please move the post.
Any help figuring this out will be greatly appreciated!
Same problem
Hello
Did you ever discover a solution to this problem?
I am encountering the exact same thing, regardless of the method i use for upgrading and the upgrade i use, it always fails.
This happens both with custom and official updates.
Happens to me, too. Have B932 on my Honour, ran stable for a couple of weeks. Then suddenly while using it for 3 hours with a GPS navigator it crashed 2 times and after the 2nd crash it does not reboot anymore. Is cought in a bootloop. Get the same error when I try to flash another ROM. I think I will have to give it to the vendor for warranty.
for those who have this problem of update failed while trying to update their huawei U8860
it just happend to me as trying to install ICS update
I have the message fread_retry >= SD_FILE_RD_RETRY
I changed of sdcard for another and evrything is fine
the update is applying

did you do factory reset? I had some weird stuff going on after recovery, so I booted back to factory reset (vol + and power), after that it worked OK.
Once you requested the bootloader unlock key, your warranty might be void from that point (depends on country). The bootloader gets locked after flashing official firmware via eRecovery though.
yes i did a factory reset, still can't proceed after wi-fi+ configuration.
is there anything else i can do?
I have one question: is it possible with
-frp locked
and
-phone locked
to downgrade via eRecovery? (to b130 or something..)
I have the exact same problem.
I bought it 3 days ago, and suddenly yesterday downloaded Apps (from the Play Store) stopped working. So someone told me to hard reset it. I got into EMUI and did it. Then I rebooted it and now it stuck there. Can't complete the setup wizard.
I found no solution to my problem after reading google & xda-forum for 3 days. Tried everything... nothing worked. Sent it back and (luckily) got a new one. Now i'm more careful for sure.
The store I bought it from claimed that they had numerous similar complaints about the 3gb version. Which is the one I have. They told me I should take it back and that they will give me a new 2gb version along with any difference in money. We will see.
Exact same thing with me stuck at setup wizard so had to send it off for warranty and got a brand new phone yesterday
Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Help please my Huawei P9 cannot proceed afta WiFi setting it is stuck on "Checking info "and Reply saying "Couldn't sign in"
The problem is Android System Webview, it's not a system app in this rom and when you reset your phone it deletes it, happened the same to me, I had to go to a huawei center, they menaged to skip the initial setup and I've installed the apk from apk mirror. Without this app the phone can't login in your google account, so if you don't install it your gapps won't work

Sorry, dont have the previous ROM, I boiught it off someone and they probably did the first update. The factory reset should reset to huawei original but i think this is where my problem sits.
HARDWARE VERSION=NEXT_L09_VN2
BOOTLOADER VERSION=NXT-C900B120_FASTBOOT
KERNEL VERSION=NXT-C900BB140_BOOT
AP VERSION=NXT-C900B140_SYSTEM
CP VERSION=21.750.08.00.010(balong)
Parameter Version:
P-00.00.000 G-17.V271.371 E-40.01.000
does anyone have an international rom for this or any version that can work.
The way i was able to factory reset was
1. going to huawei site. "consumerDOThuaweiDOTcomSLASHjmSLASHsupportSLASHdownloadsSLASHindexDOThtm"
change slash to / and dots to .
2. Select options for your phone, mine was NXT-L09. Will show "HUAWEI Mate 8 Firmware(NXT-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C605B100, Latin America, Channel-Others)"
3. Download, extract onto sdcard in dload folder, restart phone using vol up & vol down & power.
4. phone will complete boot restart but will then loop the boot process.
5. Do factory reset again
6. After huawei logo, different options show and you are then ok to proceed to login to your google account and setup refreshed phone.
Now on NXT-L09C900B100 build, if anyone has nougat rom for this, please share.
For future reference, if anyone gets stuck with this on P9 lite, indeed the instructions provided by Huawei point to VNS-L11C432B161, which doesn't include Android webview and therefore initial setup cannot proceed. The solution is to flash B210 on top of B161:
update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v80562/f1/full/update.zip
which allows you to pass setup as the bug has been fixed. No root/unlock/twrp required.
Hi everyone,
I bought axon 7 (A2017) Chinese version from aliexpress. It's on B07 version, when trying to check OTA updates - it says no updates. If I understood correctly, that's because seller flashed gapps. No problems, I thought, I can do this myself... After 2 days of reading, downloading malware and even trying to register on chinese zte forums I give up.
-Tried simply putting update files on sd card and updating - no luck. Most probably because I can't find b08/b09 updates for straight A2017 (without U or G), have the last two only.
-Installed drivers, tried unlocking bootloader -failed. Adb works, detects device, however after rebooting to edl - adb does not detect any devices (enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking.
-tried flashing with MiFlash - errors "[2,07 COM6]:cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status!"
-tried rebooting to edl manually (up/down+power) - boots, but adb does not detect devices (MiFlash sees it as com6 though)
-tried using axon7tool and minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4 - same, detects while on, reboots to edl and nothing
-tried sideloading twrp through the adb sideload - says signatures are bad...
Oh, as a bonus, recovery is in Chinese, so I have to guess what's what
What could be the issue? Drivers, device itself? Owner? I don't want to be on the damn 6.0.1 - my nexus 5 was on that. plus zte skin is awful, I would want to flash cyanogenmod or at least a newer version that does not have the damn bell icon, or permanently stuck sms that I can't delete or mark as read
Is there a way to flash US or EU firmware? Any ideas would be welcome. And sorry for writing here - as a new user I'm unable to reply on the dev posts
Hi I have the same problem can anyone help on this issue to resolve
My unit is from aliexpress also but it was B11 when i received it. What i did was enabled usb debugging and oem unlock from dev options. Then boot in stock recovery and format the phone. I think it was the option above the choices where there is 'sd' written. Then installed the update via sd for b13.

I finally managed to do this via this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-b13-chinese-a2017-root-unlock-t3549873
and now I run lineageOS
you will need a laptop that you have admin access to, which allows you to disable your antivirus though.. which was my main problem
Moderators, if any, you can lock the thread
Hi man I hope you're OK. Today I was on A2017V2.1.1B07(MM) and I just downloaded B11(third one) from this link (http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78]) and put it on SD card and updated and installed it from settings(although I downloaded and put B11 on sd card, it showed B13 ROM update in settings). Then when It was finished , I got B15 Nougat OTA in settings and downloaded and installed it then again I've got B16 OTA in settings and installed it and now everything is okay. But I wanna ask you if I did it all correctly???(because I downloaded B11 Rom(not b13 rom from that link above) but I got B13 when I put that B11 on sd card and went to the setting)and Did you do the same???
Hi,
To be honest, I don't remember the actual steps. I followed this threadhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-b13-chinese-a2017-root-unlock-t3549873 and finally did it =)But I don't think I was able to get and instal OTA updates =) I'm on US B25 version now, and every time I update I basically use DrakenFX's builds. How do you like your axon mate?
build 16 is latest so you are up to date
Hi,
Big trouble time with my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1) after it tried to OTA upgrade to Oreo.
I had not tried anything before - no rooting, no unlock, nothing - and it measerably failed on its own, well done Huawei.
I tried to create a "dload" folder on extSD + adding update.app file etc. it goes up to 5% upgrade then fails..
I found previous methods and posts here on how to unbrick the phone but it requires to unlock the phone and install TWRP etc.
I will bring it back to the store next week and see what they can do, for the moment I bought another phone..
If someone encounters the same problems feel free to post here.
Edit: for the record the attempted methods (thanks Gigi)

Well,I was before on Nougat and had some battery issues so I decided,maybe going to Oreo would solve my issues,so I go ahead and unlock the bootloader and install TWRP,and then it seems I flashed Oreo No Check recovery on Nougat and it displayed the BOOT error.
The only way I fixed my phone was to buy a three day license of DC Phoenix for 20 euros.
I flashed the first version of Nougat on it and then it installed a new version of Nougat through eRecovery,and after a few weeks the Oreo update came,installed it with no issues.
Overall,DC Phoenix might be the only thing that will work,but at least it is guaranteed to work.

can someone help me please
Have you tried HiSuite? My phone seemed to stop updating when I had gone through Firmware Finder in the past, but using HiSuite I picked up an update 2 months ago and more recently an OTA update.
Didn't work, I can't update my phone and I think is because I did something wrong in the past, like unlocking bootloader or something. I can't factory reset too..
