I downloaded a rom from androidhost.ru thinking it was an official rom. My aim was downgrading. But it's not an official rom, i guess. And either I can't get back to official rom. Please help. The Huawei technical support told me that the device could be out of guarentee.
Try installing Hi Suite and do a recovery from there

Thank you. I tried Hi Suite. Hi Suite says the firmware is updated.
There is no huawei identity part and there is no update information, the firmware seems updated.
I downloaded 155 version but i can't update. About phone section --> software number seems 8.0.0.0.46(0JVO).
I can downgrade or upgrade using androidhost.ru files but the other files (app or update.zip) don't work.
Eset Nod32 says the phone is rooted, root checker says the phone is not rooted.
Well try forcing your phone to install the official Rom... Try to boot into a download mode and flash through there
I download full ota zip and L11_hw_eu files from different sites. I turn off the device. I push the volume down and volume up and power button (force) the software installation fails.
Search XDA universal search for hurupdater ..
Get firmware finder from playstore ..download correct stock rom
Follow hurupdater instructions to update in recovery
Firmware finder doesn't find firmware for p smart.
Hurupdater needs unlocked bootloader i guess.

I have a huawei p smart and firmware finder & hurupdater is working ..but yes ..you need an unlocked bootloader ..
In that case
Download stock rom with firmware finder and put on sd
download stock recovery from p smart forum and flash with fastboot ..boot into stock recovery and use stock recovery to restore ...
And on a seperate note , I recommend downloading dc unlocker application and downgrading and unlocking bootloader using dc unlocker ..just search in XDA universal search ....it's a working method ..
Here you can see it :good:

No , you can flash only *signed files ...big difference ..you can ALWAYS flash files signed by huawei like stock recovery

Does your phone have the OEM UNLOCK option enabled in the developer settings / is the FRP setting disabled. Having an unlocked bootloader simplifies things a lot. I had a similar issue and used the PC version of the huawei firmware finder by TEAM MT and had to use the DNS method (either do via router or set the pc as a hotspot to reflash a lower version of firmware
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.

Hi, Candask
I see you are having problems getting back to official software for the Huawei P smart
Knowing that it says System 8.0.0.046 means you are running Huawei Firmware but System 8.0.0.046 usually means the firmware was made for a different model
How this works is the version folder ( partition ) includes information on the device model and if that version folder does not include the files for your region or model, it will display as System 8.0.0.046, not a serious issue but it is fixable
If you could get in contact with me on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/livitechdev
and also provide us with the Huawei P smart model number ( at the bottom of the phone on the back it will say Model: FIG-XXX, mine says FIG-LX1 )
And we will see if we can help you out - Thanks Ryan
8.0.0 is just the software version, what i think you need to match is for example mine is C782
example if you search you had found the following FIG-LX1C09B139 is device/model , and (8.0.0.139) is software version, id reckon aslong as you match the device and get the latest software version it would work

@candask - this User is on the right track,
He would be able to get the software version of he already knows his phones model number C782, C472, C106, etc
The only place I believe you can find your model number inside Android is on the build number inside of settings>System>About Phone
8.0.0.137 ( C782 ) is the usual format
8.0.0 being Android version
137 being Huawei's version
( C782 ) being model number of device
the build number Candask has says
System 8.0.0.046( 0VJO )
Which does not give Indication of what model phone he has
Have you tried using E-recovery?

hi livi-tech
I think what he is experiencing is when he has flashed a custom rom on his phone its changed the rom version name i believe, so even in e-recovery and fastboot it is being read as an unsupported device. il attach a picture to try and show
E-Recovery and attempting to use hisuite will work up until it checks his imei and device / software info then it is unable to proceed

Hello @friartuckme
I haven't had any issues with E-recovery and fastboot in the past no matter what my build number was or what custom ROM was flashed, not sure about HiSuite as I don't have a use for it but I had a look to confirm, even with the build number being different E-recovery still works and fastboot
This is my current setup
Build number: LiviTech (EM Pixel)
EMUI version: 8.0.0
E-recovery picks up: 8.0.0.137(C782) and starts downloading package
This was my setup when looking into compatibility issues a few months ago
Build number: System 8.0.0.046( 0VJO )
EMUI version: 8.0.0
E-recovery picks up: 8.0.0.137(C782) and starts downloading package
Deleting the whole version partition results in
Build number: System 8.0.0.046( OVJO )
EMUI version: 8.0.0
E-recovery picks up: 8.0.0.137(C782) and starts downloading package
( Would not recommend deleting version partition or modifying it unless you want phone to reset or apps to get removed, it's a Huawei issue )
I think I know what the issue his, the firmware he flashed sounds like Huawei firmware ( or a version of it ) but it sounds like the version partition included with that firmware doesn't include the files for his model.

Hello, I have a P8 stuck in bootloop after failed update from HiSuite. I cannot access device recovery and can only access FastBoot & Rescue mode. I tried the instructions found here however every time cmd prompts say Failed (remote command not allowed). What can I do to unbrick this phone? I do not mind losing any data as this is my backup phone however, I wish to recover from bootloop. Help is appreciated. Sorry for noob question. Thank You so much.
I had the exact same problem and just fixed it.
If you have the product ID then you can get the boot loader unlock code from the EMUI website. As I couldn't get onto the phone this was no help. There is a product id generator using IMEI and Product model but couldn't get it although others had success.
Tried putting items on sd micro card etc all the button combos etc. But wouldn't work.
I had to download something called DC-Phoenix and pay 15 euros (£12), very wary. But downloaded the lowest firmware I could for my device B130 and then had to install through that and the usb.
I'm annoyed I had to spend money but it did work, tried looking for cracks keygens etc, so bit the bullet. I'd say try everything, but this was the way it worked. Has a backdoor built into it that changes the boot loader to unlock and does all the fast boot. I just wish someone could find what this backdoor is for the future. As of now I've made sure to get the product id and boot loader code for future problems rather than spend over and over.
Good Luck

I had similar problem only was able to access Bootloader because i wiped system with TWRP, after some hours of searching i find out that:
What you need is able to use ADB and fastboot on your pc and have a sd card, then:
1. Download HuaweiUpdateExtractor http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3262545.
2. Download any stock firmware which have UPDATE.APP file.
3. Use HuaweiUpdateExtractor and extract UPDATE.APP to a lot of smaller files.
4. Move RECOVERY.IMG to adb folder and install it through command line using adb fastboot.
5. Good job now you can use recovery again, now you need to use SD card and put a folder named dload and inside download firmware which is named UPDATE.APP
6. Reboot your phone and now hold Volum UP+DOWN+POWER and huawei recovery will begin, just dont forget to remove usb cable sometimes you get trouble when updating.
If you didn't use ADB fastboot then it will be harder to understand but you can find guides how to use it.
Hope that will help.

You should unlock your bootloader and flash ROM via fastboot. That will upgrade your phone to 6.0. Would you like directions on how to do that?

For me, this ROM has reported problems. It could be the reason for the failed flash.
I do not think of being able to access the internal memory (with USB) to replace the ROM.
I thought that I can:
1) to performed hardreset (vol+-power, EMUI menu)
2) To put another rom on an external memory
3) Do unbrick again
What you think?
but I check now, Your rom is perfect.

Try to find EMUI4.0.1_PE-TL10_7.1.1 it is for your version of Honor 6 Plus PE-TL10. I flashed this version over PE_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1. (PE-TL10 EMUI 3.1 Android 5.1) and works fine.
This thread will be for the Canadian version of ZE552KL, and will be updated with specific info relevant to Z012DC model found in Canada (Canada Computers, Staples, other retailers). It has WW SKU number.
It took me a while and some searching to figure all steps out. I also modified Asus N and M firmware to remove version checks. Without this step - i was stuck with error 7 in TWRP. The only difference between Z012D and Z012DC seems to be in Fastboot and ADB drivers, TWRP recovery, system images seem to work well so far.
Steps:
1. Download Fastboot and ADB Drivers. For me usb driver on ZE552KL Asus download page didn't work. Select "Only install driver", you do not need to update your drivers via DRP.
Fastboot driver (for Vendor VID_18D1&PID_D00D): http://drivers.drp.su/Telephone/Hua...03.00/Huawei-FORCED-Allx64-2.00.03.00-drp.exe
ADB Driver (for VID_18D1&PID_D002): http://drivers.drp.su/Telephone/Leshcat/WinAll/Leshcat-WinAll-drp.exe
2. Save the following files on your External SD Card:
Modified M image UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip
Modified N image UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2015.1701.8-user.zip
SuperSU - latest version from here
no-verity-opt-encrypt-5-1.zip. Give thanks to @kaffeine1 , without him - we would all be stuck with black screens
3. Save ADB and Fastboot files on your computer, and extract; give thanks to @snowwolf725
4. Download newer recovery (TWRP 3.1.0) from here
5. Unlock bootloader via unofficial unlock method; give thanks to @snowwolf725
6. Get into fastboot by turning off the phone, and pressing volume up + power. Install recovery that you downloaded in step #4:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-Z012D.img
7. Follow the steps this guide by @kaffeine1 . Skip the steps of downloading Nougat and Marshmallow firmware from Asus site, as you have already downloaded and saved both firmwares in Step #2 . Also skip the last step - do not reboot into Nougat, but go back to fastboot mode.
8. Root Nougat - follow steps under #2 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/twrp-recovery-3-0-2-root-zenfone-3-t3569926
How to update to the latest version of OS:
1. Go to Asus Site, download latest WW image UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2020.1703.28-user.zip
2. Extract UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2020.1703.28-user.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater_script , edit, remove first two lines, and put back into the zip file (e.g. using 7zip)
3. Extract from above zip file boot.img , and flash it via: fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-Z012D.img
5. Reboot into recovery, and flash:
- Firmware that you modified in #2
- no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip
- Latest SuperSU
- Rooted.zip (from step #8 above)
6. Reboot mobile, and enjoy new version!

I noticed that in some cases TWRP doesn't "stick", and gets overridden by default bootloader. Specific check is essentially useless - just to prevent flash of improper image. Just remove the check in the new FW, or use modified FW that has the check removed. I think in your case you can just re-flash TWRP since your bootloader is unlocked?
I tryed several TWRP 3.02 and 3.10 if a boot imge ... if entered bootloader with volum key + power it says all ok but booting never happens... if i enter bootloader trough adb it stucks until i disconnect and reconnect usb cable. when trying to flash. fast boot returns error not have permision and side load error secttion 7 on UL modified or else footer w
error after passing check. i shall try modiffying UL 13.20.10 and see what happens

Well my wife liked the phone so much, that she "kindly requested" me to gift it to her... now she is the proud owner of a canadian vertion of ZE552KL and i got myself a ZS570KL
thanks a lot for all your help.
P.D. : i think she was not happy with the time i was spending with the device.
I know this is going to sound super dumb, but the unofficial bootloader unlock still triggers the bootup message and voids the warranty, right?
This might be even dumber... But my guess is that the official app to unlock boot loader, does more than unlock,
My guess is that it also register with asus mobile, the fact that for your device has been unlocked...

That's what some manufacturers do, like Motorola and HTC. But from back when I unlocked the BL on my Zenfone 2 Laser, I remember that all it did (as far as I could tell) was unlock the bootloader and set a flag in the bootloader that made it say it was unlocked that couldn't be reversed. No need for fancy registration systems when you can just boot up the phone and take a look.
What was modified in your N-image firmware file? There is now a newer version that I'd like to install. Can you provide an updated modified file for version WW-14.2020.1703.28 or give the steps needed to modify it myself?

It's a pretty old ROM now.
There is 3.5 QPST available. Even that too would receive official OTA builds as the latest for Z2 Plus is 4.0.xxx
Thanks.

Do you connect your phone to 9008 port
Note-
Applicable for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
Similar steps are applicable for EMUI 4.X as well but TWRP file will change.
Hello Fellow Members,
Did not find any post mentioning rooting for Honor 8 SMART and got requests via PM and on FB to add it for EMUI 5. If there are any, let me know and I will take down this thread. I will just simplify the steps so that any new users can do this without any problem and without any prior experience to rooting, it may be long but will be the simple enough for all the users.
Prerequisites-
Enable the developer option in settings-
Go to Settings--> About Phone-->Tab build number 7 times to enable this setting.
Go back in setting page, just above system update, you will see a new menu as -Developer Options
Scroll for the debugging section and enable the USB Debugging
You will be prompted for the confirmation with RSA key, just accept it.
Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options (just above the USB debugging option) – Most probably this option will not be there on EMUI 5.0 (only few have seen on EMUI but it was there on EMUI 4.1 for all but rarely on EMUI 5.0 or may be because I have used dload most of the time which grayed out this)
Please note down you build number, this may become handy in case something goes wrong to restore your phone via DLOAD. In Settings- About phone- Build Number
Installation of required Drivers.
Connect your phone to PC and install Hi Suite on PC and it will additionally install all the necessary drivers to PC and HiSUite on Mobile.
Download and Install ADB from Link
Accept all the prompts and install ADB drive system wise.
Once installation is completed, if default options are chosen, it will be under C:\adb
Downloading the necessary files.
Download TWRP from Link Thanks to @OldDroid for his Original Thread . Rest of the contributor and credit in original thread by OldDroid.
Move the downloaded file under C:\adb or wherever you have installed the ADB.
Download the SuperSU file from this Link and put it in SD card or keep handy on PC so that you can copy to internal memory later.
Get the unlock as mentioned in this thread
Actual Procedure
Unlocking the bootloader-
Backup all your data as unlocking the bootloader will reset the device and all your data will be erased.
On windows machine, go to folder C:\adb or wherever you installed the adb drivers.
Press shift+right click together and select Open command prompt here
Run - adb reboot bootloader (this command may prompt for acceptance of RSA key if not already accepted)
This will boot the phone into bootloader mode.
Run - fastboot oem unlock <16 digit unlock code- Put your actual code you obtained from Huawei site > (This step will unlock the bootloader and will erase all your data)
Phone will restart automatically.
Installing TWRP
Once on the system, open the PowerShell or command prompt again in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, Run - fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img (This will install the TWRP recovery for EMUI 5.0 on your phone)
Once done with the flashing the TWRP, Run - fastboot reboot
Rooting
Once booted to system, open the PowerShell or command prompt in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot recovery
And your phone will boot into the TWRP recovery.
Copy the SuperU file downloaded to SD card or Internal memory.
Install the SuperSU zip.
Reboot and enjoy.
Happy Flashing.
