First install stock recovery with batch file, then install B052 with batch file.
(You'll need to have adb drivers installed and usb debugging active.)

My bootloader is unlocked, but I'm sure it will work with locked bootloader.

You need to unlock your bootloader to downgrade to the b052, also for use fastboot, but it's a lower price to can have marshmallow.
And of course you can relock it after,like this your warranty was not void.

I had the 5.1.1 beta b009 and I just installed 6.0 b525 with local update, everything worked fine

-Download the B052 firmware
https://mega.nz/#!lEcGQZCC!X2fmOZ-ShY-Kx-9lwnSUN16Vo52_aU0i4K1KmdBW64Q
-You need to have unlocked bootloader.
-You need to have adb drivers installed.
-You have to boot into fastboot mode (Turn off the device > press "Volume - key, Power Key and connect USB cable)
-Extract the files of B052 and copy and past in your adb folder the 'BOOT','CUST','RECOVERY','SYSTEM',and the 'FLASH-ALL' script (just run FLASH-ALL.bat file).
You'll have the B052.
-You'll have balong error, download this file:
https://mega.nz/#!kM4ngRAb!3FIgh6WNgP4NWRfnGoDxisd1wAQk3CBPKdKl8_If-v0
-Install this file as local update (copy the extracted file UPDATE.APP (21 kb) into dload folder of your root directory and install as local update via Huawei updater)

[GUIDE] Get rid of balong bug/get back local update on 6.0/unlock bootloader[ALE-L21]

First of all, what is balong bug?
Balong Bug is when you update to a newer firmware that was not meant for your country, your phone doesn't recognize the correct version of your software(instead of correct version it will show balongc53b311) and you can't do ota update.
So in order to get rid of balong bug, when you update your software to a newer version, in the archive you've downloaded there are 2 folders: one contains the firmware update and one folder named custom or vendor which contains update.app for balong bug.
So all you have to do is to install via local update the update.app from vendor/custom folder.
I've tried to find for as many as possibile versions i could find.
I've made an archive of all vendor folders. Download from here
Here is the list from archive:
B049
B120
B130
B132
B133
B171
B551
Now, in order to get local update back, you'll need to have unlocked bootloader and twrp installed because you'll need to flash an archive.
First, make sure you have installed the correct drivers, then enable usb debugging from developer options(tap 7 times on build number to unlock developer)
To unlock bootloader you'll need to register on huawei then enter your details here.
If you have dual sim,enter your main imei;
After you've done all this you'll have a 10 digit code number, save it.
Now download minimal adb fastboot from here and install it.
Plug the phone into pc, open cmd window in minimal folder(shift + right click -> open new command here), type:
Code:
adb devices
and in return it will show something like
Code:
123213asdsa231 device
. After this type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. Now you are in fastboot and here you'll unlock your bootloader by tiping this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock yourcode
. If you done all this, now it will show on the bottom Phone Unlocked.
Now you need TWRP from here.
Flash it via fastboot with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery image_name.img
.
Enter twrp, flash this archive.
Now you've got back your local update!.
In order to get back stock recovery, donwload your current firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract recovery.img from update.app and flash it via fastboot with the same command used to flash twrp.
If you have questions, ask here.

Please add the newer B564 to the patch

I'm sorry, but i can't find for b564 ...

hey i tried updating locally on b560, but am stuck at 19% for like half an hour...

Bootloader is now unlocked, fast boot works as i can boot to bootloader but i cant push twrp for some reason.
Edit: fixed, wasn't looking for the correct file to put twrp into.
So i flashed B550 i think which doesn't have Vendor file, how can i get to B551 or one that does, will i need to downgrade first.

[Root][Magisk] Honor 10 - COL-AL10 (C675)

Hi All,
I found some people have lost Volte on their Honor 10 phones by flashing LastStandingDroid's img. (which may not be compatible with devices in India)
Below are the versions which you can use for India.
Installation :
1. Download the attachment and place it in the same directory as your fastboot.
2. Make sure that you have unlocked the bootloader.
3. Run :
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk col_al10_magisk_120.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk col_al10_magisk_131.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk col_al10_magisk_140.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk col_al10_magisk_150.img
4. Install Magisk Manager
5. Install Magisk using Magisk Manager just to be sure.
(Please click on Thanks button instead of posting 'Thanks' as a reply. Helps keep the thread clean ! )
**WARNING** : I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
PLEASE DO NOT FLASH IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING
**Disclaimer**
The patches have been created using Magisk. So BIG THANKS & Credit goes to Magisk Team for working hard and being so cool !

This should be for 8.1.0.120.
Btw, I didnt get any notification for 131 update. Have they made any changes to Ramdisk ? If yes, then its better not to flash. If there is no changes in Ramdisk, then you can flash.

You also have to download and install Magisk Manager. Without it you wont get root.
Unlock Bootloader -> Flash image via fastboot --> Reboot ---> Install Magisk Manager --> Install Magisk using Magisk Manager again just to be sure.

Will this image work with COL-L29 ??

Use LastStandingDroid's img in the other thread. This Image is for COL-AL10.

but you need something to do all this to install the magisk when then in reality you have created absolutely no rom that can be alternative I have equally valid nor a kernel that can increase the performance or eventually the battery life?

Just got the GPU turbo update (140) in India.
Will it work On the 140?
Edit : also, isn't it is easier to flash twrp first and then flash magisk(official one, no modifications) itself?

I'm already rooted and using with twrp. During my time there was no source for my Indian ramdisk so couldn't able to back my recovery .
I root it via tool call " Huawei team mt multi tool".
The thing is I wanted to keep my default recovery also but firmware Finder didn't have any full firmware that time. Now, somehow I pull the latest 142 firmware for Indian version, if you want for 142 I can make a patch magisk if you want to use that's it

For the EMUI 8 to 9 tool you will need root. You can do it from TWRP if you wanted to.
But you will need an unlocked bootloader at least, else you won't be able to install it.
No service = its not a service firmware, as most are on androidhost.ru.
Everything works fine. I just flashed it.

It says "no service" because it's not a DLOAD firmware.

It won't with the EMUI8 tool as it is now.
I will edit the EMUI9 tool and upload it, it will only require unlocked bootloader.
Edit: You can just use the EMUI9 tool as is, it's using Oreo TWRP and Oreo NoCheck.

As I am sure that EMUI 9 comes with new bootloader, is it possible to flash it without flashing xloader? As the Custom treble rom I want to use do not work on 9.0 vendor, so I could downgrade back.
Or uses the EMUI9 the 02xloader? If 02 then I can upgrade it to try it out!

Hopefully the update doesnt come x years laters for the ones on the official beta lol, anyway have fun guys

Unlock phone, flash twrp by pretoriano80, flash Magisk zip in twrp.
Alternatively: unlock phone, patch ramdisk in Magisk Manager, flash patched ramdisk in fastboot.

Would this method work for upgrading BLA-L29c636 b145 to BLA-L29C636E2R1P13B159 (9.0.0.159)

Is there any chance of getting a working TWRP/root on this version?

You said you successfully downgraded?
Then you didn't need HiSuite (and TWRP) - just WiFi and SIM card to start receiving OTA back to Nougat
And no need to open new thread each time
What was exactly full model/cust/build name from Settings/About of your running system (you didn't provide it in the first thread before downgrade, neither now?!
Flashing TWRP, downgrading/upgrading and now unbricking (?) depend on that - did you downgrade and had it working EVA-L09c432b182 or what?
And TWRP for MM is different than for N

Android 6 doesn't mean anything for your question why it doesn't upgrade to Android 7.
And again, you are not answering what is the full build name (incl cust) and number of your build as in Settings About - but if you don't mind about reading it...
If you are sitting on eg c900, you will never ever receive any upgrade.
Also, for OTA you must have WiFi but also a valid SIM card.
