After using the manual Oreo update 2 weeks, Flashing several treble roms. Most with little to no trouble. I ended up with no more 4g or LTE signals on my L24 USA model Honor 7X.
So I took the plunge and tried to roll-back from beta oreo back to EMUI 5.
It worked. It took only few minutes to complete. I wrote down the steps, it was 22 steps.
If you do attempt this too, be advised I do not know what possible things could go wrong, and you do so at your own risk.
I will likely refine the document if after reading it many times I find it too confusing.
You will need backed up images of your original firmware. AND the original /data/hw_init folder
If / when huawei finally release a "full-ota" for your device/ region . this will not be needed, but until then here is a method to return.
Thanks are needed here:

Nice
I bet many users will follow this tutorial in the next days....
I was worried cause of the partition changes on Oreo that the downgrade would be very trick... But you got'it right
Still, wont work for me... (Stuck on FRP)
On About the Phone, is the model correct? Isn't it BND-AL10? (Since you used that model's image)
Great work.
Any tips for me:
- Boot phone
Using the SD card, is there any trick to prevent the phone to reboot? Any app? Any other trick?
- UPDATE.APP
All the files that i tried, NON make it passed the 5%...
This is the only way in that i have to the device...
-Relock Bootloader (?)
Just can't do it via Fastboot... Is there any other way?
Keep the good work

I have BND-L24.
I used AL-10 , basically at random. Firmware finder showed they had a roll-back fukk-ota.
My about phone screen shows correct . Even when I booted the China firmware.

The file is already linked on the directions.
These directions do not tell you to use the hwota-auto-update.zip. if you are following those direction, kindly ask in that thread
Big thanks for the hint to use "adb reboot recovery" instead of TWRP's reboot button - I've been pondering for hours over what I've done wrong, and turns out this was it.

No, it is based on using a modified stock-ish recovery, which needs unlocked bootloader to flash.
And besides, this was a hackish method to get me by before there was a full OTA file for roll back.
I think your best bet on locked bootloader will be the host file mod and python server method hackintosh has talked about. He calls it erecovery. And it is intended to be done with the stock erecovery.

Hey I've posted a few posts around on one of these I got the SE on the latest firmware. I'd there a way to downgrade to earlier Oreo or nougat service rom without bootloader unlock. I bought the credits then found I was to high of firm Ware. I can't find straight answers any where I've spent all day downloading, and trying to update, flash whatever I can all ending in error. All bnd l34 I've got 344 it's files which fail at 5% I've never used one of the fancy heuweis before. Used to lg and Samsung. I'm no noob on flashing . Hisuite does not show rollback options... Like I said just can't find any straight answers. I'm stuck with this one either way but root would be nice

Yes, you have to flash back to the factory recovery and then update. After this, re-root it again.

Thx mate,
I followed your instructions for the UL-00 (the 2/16 Chines model in white. I couldn't stand the gold...) and it perfectly succeeded.
well done!
Now we're waiting for a custom ROM
I've unlocked my phone successfully this way and rooted it. But then i had to flash stock recovery again cause if not, OTA upgrades doesn't work at all. Worse : factory reset makes ur Emui rom look totally different after reboot (basic look, no theming, ugly...)
So when i put stock recovery back and factory reset, it looked like before.
But i didn't need to root again.

permanent root ? that's fine !
So, I found the OTA update packages for the FRD-L14 to B320 (and B317)
I really wanted to update... but I'm not sure how.
I'm rooted, with TWRP and SuperSU installed, and it all works ok.
I didn't want to do any hard methods, scared of bricking it. Updating the OTA over SD card isn't working (can't even find the setting)
So what to do?
They are only OTA updates, not Full, so I can't just use dload method to load them up.
I would prefer to keep root, but if I have to reflash to stock, and then re-root, I can do that.
Any other methods I can use? Can anyone with a bit more knowledge help me out?
And of course, more than happy to share the OTA files, one is approximately 3gb (B317) and the other is about 300mb (B320)
Thanks
Unroot phone and flash stock recovery
Will that work? I tried doing that but the updater didn't find the update in the SD card. It told me there were no updates available.

you need to make sure the zip file you get are the right one.
since your have TWRP, just flash the update.zip and the update_hw_usa.zip Link without reboot in between.
i updated to 5.0 (320) on my L14, i don't suggest you to upgrade if you need Bluetooth. Everything works fine except Bluetooth. And if you need tutorials and all roms, just reply me i will send to you.

You need two roms:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...68/f1/full/hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip
AND
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v68368/f1/full/update.zip
Steps:
1. unlock, rooted and twrp
2. then twrp, install the usa.zip, dont reboot
3. flash update.zip (if some errs shows , just miss them.)
Also don't wipe data & cache
4. reboot, if you cannot show correct build num in 'About'
, just use the *#*#2846579#*#*, and use software upgrade to flash update.app from both usa.zip and update.zip.
5. Everything will woke

that is honor8's hardware code and support library of Android 7.x. You can understand it as hardware firmware for honor 8. and update.zip is system and software part. In order to make software part works, you need correct hardware firmware.

Ahh, that makes perfect sense. Thank you.
I had tried to update it via twrp before, and when that failed, just tried dload method, and neither one worked. I didn't have the hw_usa file.

Bluetooth is working fine for me on FRD-L14 on B320. That probably means you flashed the wrong file or an incorrect version.

Which TWRP you used for the FRD-L14
I know I need to rollback my version to 10k, however I am stymied by antirollback problems using lgup! I could really use some assistance on getting this to rollback to 10k. I have been reading the forums for 2 days now, hundreds of posts, and nothing works. I cant use the dirty cow method of installing twrp as it was patched and my phone auto downloaded the stupid update... Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Zernon916

Right. Upon reboot after hitting start in LGUP, it went to the stock android firmware upgrade screen, said 100% and rebooted . Did a battery pull when the LG logo came up. Put it back in and used recovery button combo (Volume - and Power). Said yes 2 times and it booted to android instead of twrp.

What does it do/say
Hi guys,
After a flashing of boot.img take by Huawei Update Extractor my phone began to boot in a black screen, but with twrp and fastboot enabled.
So I tried to wipe data from twrp, but if I reboot the phone gives me the boot animation of huawei once, after it reboots automatically in twrp.
When I reboot via twrp it says that in my phone there's not an OS working.
Idk if this is a brick or something but if there's a mode to unbrick it i will very happy.
Status of my phone:
Bootloader: Unlocked
Twrp: Yes
Fastboot: Yes
Can Boot?: Only Once, then goes in twrp.
You need to reflash the stock boot image that goes with your current rom version, if it doesn't work you can try doing the dload method

Where I can find my stock rom? I'm not an expert of modding
Dm me a picture of the box (the area where the model, IME... are) and I'll find it for you..
Also tell me your region so i don't give you the wrong firmware

Ok, I'm Italian my phone is a WAS-LX1A but…
There's a new problem.
I was trying to install a custom rom (lineage 14.1) but it resulted in a hard brick, my phone isn't turning on anymore and no button combinations work.
Have I ripped the phone?

So, idk why, I put it in fastboot, and when I plug it to the pc my phone is called fastboot2.0
Now what I have to do?
I was at that stage of hard brick with my p10 lite but then i used dc phoenix to reflash the stock rom and completely unbrick it.. The only problem is it's 15€ (unlimited flashing for 3 days) and i haven't found any free alternatives..
If you buy via PayPal and you are unable to unbrick they will refund you tho.
I'll make a video about it when i get home if you want to wait... From my experience that is the only thing you can do at that stage ( if you are unable to boot into erecovery, screen black)

I need the stock rom of my huawei P10 Lite
It was Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.1, Model WAS-LX1A, Italy
No stock rom no unbrick
EDIT: But what if I install a custom rom (e.g. Lineage)?

If your screen is black and the phone gets detected in fastboot, then you need to flash the stock rom using dx phoenix.
Custom ROMs can't be installed via it and even if they couod be, you need the stock because custom ROMs don't contain the right files for an unbrick

They have their forums btw...
What you need to do is connect your phone to the pc while on bootloader, select the update.app file from the main firmware zip, and also get the customization .app from the "hw Europe" or sth like that zip file (if you have one) and then just let it flash.

Btw, if you did what i did a while back and played with oeminfo, you can grab someones c432 twrp backup of it, extract it and create a custom flash script.. I did this a while back so I can't give you exact instructions yet..
When I'll get home I'll do some research and make a video flashing my bricked p10 lite with dc Phoenix

Ok Thanks! Now all I need is hope...
Only one (maybe) last question, if i try to unbrick my phone but after the unbrick is still bricked, how do I get a refund?

You ask for it at the forums, just make sure you buy with PayPal, not sure for the credit cards

And you have 3 days to get the phone unbricked so i recommend trying multiple firmwares if one doesn't work
Does anyone know if there is any guides that I can follow to downgrade from latest update, so I can unlock my bootloader and root my device?
Thanks

i think you are mistaken since some guys have reported successfully doing it ...
in any event if you can't downgrade using dns try downloading the complete OTA package and try doing it in erecovery on your phone ..
failing that you might as well try every method you can find that is related to "restoring" your device using the old OTA package ..
however since this is the only downgrade option AFAIK you are SOT if you can't make it work but you are probably just committing an error or have a bad internet connection etc etc and however painful it's in your own interest to keep trying ..there is just no one button press solution for you ..
i saw somewhere one of the things you can pay dc unlocker for is downgrading but tbh i don't know if it works or not so can't advocate it ...
sorry to hear about your bad luck but if you can't make the above work .....you post a solution if and when you find it to help other guys ...

you can try to download the full OTA update package with firmware finder ...then put the update.zip on internal sd card in folder dload ...boot into erecovery and try to apply the zip ....worth a go..
read & try all these methods

I've been aware that firmwares from Firmware Finder don't work in order to downgrade. You need a full firmware, look for it at https://androidhost.ru/ be sure to search your MODEL and CUST, the lowest build number available. Then extract DLOAD folder and put it in your external SD card, inside this folder you should see update_sd.zip and then another folder with your model and cust which is named update_full_sd... or something. After that go to dialer, type in #*#*2846579#*#* then software upgrade - sdcard upgrade (this wipes data so make a backup). In the end you'll end up with an older firmware so you can use DC Unlocker. I did it in that way and I was able to use the unlock service.

Thanks I used this method and it worked. Downgraded, unlocked bootloader and I'm now running omnirom.

What are u trying to do? These firmwares are not official! They are modified! There is no huawei identity option or firmware update option! Some stock applications are missing and you can't install an official firmware!

Have you even read carefully? I can tell based on my experience, if that's what you believe it's fine, I have done this like a million times without an issue so far. Don't blame others for what you have done wrong my friend.

Is there "huawei identity" part on your rom? Is software OTA update available?
Can confirm this works but i had to do using my pc as a wifi hotspot and setting the dns using speedify proxy due my router not having the options to change the dns. Use TEAM MT Firmware finder pc version and follow the instructions then open hisuite and it will downgrade for you, i was then able to unlock my bootloader with dc unlocker and root with magisk.
I took the telephone to a shop for firmware repair. He tried for a couple of days and he also couldn’t get back to official software.

I can guarantee that its possible even with a locked bootloader aslong as the you are placing a signed firmware onto it.
The method needed is quite a pain, the only way i got it working is by making my pc into a wireless hotspot and altering the DNS from there then in firmware finder you need to register the firmware to you imei/ip then you can either try with huisuite or through recovery to click to check for updates and instead of it asking the official servers it ask or checks the firmware finders dns server which then confirms there is an update
