Fellows,
Please help me in my problem,
I was on b817 recently then I decided to change it as it has many bugs,
Finally I get to b800(transition from),since then I'm stuck on it, I can't downgrade or upgrade always I get " there is no update.app " message though the from is in my Dr load folder. I tried to update/downgrade. Through update apk and 3 buttons method but all failed.
I'm running everything stock I never tried to modify anything and I'm not rooted. I sent Pm to some senior members here but no one has replied me. I'm a noobie member if anyone would help please on how to get this problem sorted step by step with links to required programs please.?
My customs is 433 ??
Hello, is the file located on /dload at your SD card? Did you extract the update.zip first? If yes/ not try it with(/out). If that all fails you could extract the update.zip and flash all images manually through fastboot.
Yes it is In sd card root.. but to go for b621 or b805 we have to put the update.zip file in dload without extraction..
I said I'm noobie Here I don't know what is fastboot and how to flash anything through it ???
I happened just like you B 817.After the downgrade puts B621 UPDATE.APP on dload folder in the phone memory or SD card, turn off your phone, press simultaneously + and - volume and power button and the phone will write a alone software B621.I hope I helped you.Before that make one factoey reset plz.

I assume post #6 here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3211971) already answers your question. If that doesn't work like it should, I could describe more detailed what I thought of, sorry.

How to flash through boot loader?
What application do I need to flash it?
Sorry for that but I'm noobie..??
First you need to set up your PC correctly. I assume you are running Windows.
So, download and install the HiSuite to get all needed drivers. Then follow this (http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/) instruction, I recommend to use methode 2.
Now shut down your device, press volume- and power at the same time. You should boot into the boot loader (white background). Maybe the device has to be connected to the PC for that.
Now you could follow the instruction in the link in the last post of me. Since you booted manually into the bootloader, begin with the fastboot command. (All files that are going to be flashed have to be in the location you put the fastboot-files (as described in the link) in.
I hope this is understandable. If not, feel free to ask!
Well, many thanks for your help,
I've downloaded all applications required on computer.
I'm planning to roll back to b621(already I have the zip for it).
Then what to do exactly Or what to write in fastboot menu ? (sorry I'm complete noob. ???
I think (but I'm quite not sure) that B621is instead of beeing a full firmware just an update. So I'd recommend to use B609 as full (!)version. Maybe you find the B609 stock recovery somewhere to download or you have to extract it with the huawei-update-extractor (just google and install it).
Download also the newest versions myrom and twrp, save the twrp file and the B609 stock recovery in the directory of your adb folder, the myrom on your sd card.
Now you boot your device into the bootloader. How to do this is described in my last post. In big letters the status of the bootloader is showed up. If its locked read the xda thread about how to unlock and continure afterwards.
Type into cmd (how to open is described in the adb tutorial): fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img] for example 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img'.
After that unplug the device and shut down trough pressing power for some seconds.
Press volume+ and power at the same time and you will boot into the custom recovery. Here you're gonna flash the myrom.img.
When that is done you should flash the stock recovery with the same procedure like you did with twrp.
Now you could flash the B609 with the dload method.
I'm sorry if this all is a bit messy, I'm just writing on my phone and I'm a bit tired..
Victory.....
Many thanks for your help I'm on b621 now.
Nice, your welcome?

Honor 4x hanged (in some Indian kitkat version, not rooted) and after restart it is in bootloop. Honor logo appears then blue light starts to appear then restart.
Recovery mode and dload update not working.
After unlocking bootloader tried fastboot -w, still in bootloop.
Extracted Lollipop, Marshmallow, Kitkat - B161, B126 and flashed in fastboot. Possible to flash only recovery, boot, userdata & system. For others - failed : remote command not allowed. After flashing no change, still in bootloop.
Tried to boot to recovery from fastboot boot
- for lollipop and marshmallow recoveries it says "dtb not found"
- others including twrp, cm it is in bootloop.
Out of warranty.
Need help.

Oh ****, that seems like a frustrating situation. What made the device mess up so much? Have you gone to service centres?
Regards,
PoseidonKing
Not tried to flash or root. It just hanged while using.
Service centre said board gone (as always). MTK devices have a factory mode through which we can check working of all board parts. I did not find any way for this.

balongc52b311 after failing kangvip 6.7.1
hey there. will tell you my experience with failing to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 due to wiping problem
i wiped my cache, data, system even internal storage and yet failed to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 4 custom rom due to "cust" folder unable to mount giving me this:
error 1 can't mount /cust (Invalid argument)
so after failing to mount that folder and even deleting it by mistake,i got a new error:
error 1 can't mount cust no such file or directory
i lost hope and let my my honor 4x normally boot but it took too long and i was determined its stuck on bootloop :cyclops:
i woke up today finding it on 5% battery and giving me that first time setup as if all i did was a factory format BUT all in chinese. checked the build number and it was balongc52b311.
i tried mounting "cust" folder to r/w and rebooted into bootloader but it gave me the same first error. i tried deleting the folder and then rebooting into recovery and it gave me the 2nd error. created the folder "/cast" and then rebooted into recovery and it gave me the same first problem that the folder can't mount EVENTHO it was mounted successfully right before i rebooted into recovery (did this 3 times to make sure)
did some researching and found a solution for honor 4c http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/help/huawei-honor-4x-balong-hi6210sft-fixed-t3324335 or two BUT both for lolllipop and i'm marshmallow.
i'm already halfway at the method i mentioned above but i stopped after i realized it was for lollipop. i rooted my mobile and changed my build number to "Che2-L11C636B330". worth to mention that my model number remained already the same "Che2-L11".
the cust folder error is still there whenever i go to the bootloader
now i have no idea what to do, what firmware to download and if i have to downgrade first to lollipop and then upgrade to marshmallow again...
my marshmallow version was the middle east final version before this balong happened: Che2-L11C185B561 and i would like to go back to it again.. thank you in advance ( :
###*UPDATED BELOW*
fixed my problem trying the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-rooted-twrp-modaco-rom-unable-t3462039/page2
>>>>worth to mention that i flashed my oeminfo for my UPDATE.APK REGION before flashing the extracted files from UPDATE.APP "wasn't mentioned in that method"
now i'm back to my original marshmallow version "middle east". good luck people.

I have bootloader code for unlocking the phone, thanks in advance guys, also happy new year :good:
Phone Honor 4x (che1-L04) Stuck in fastboot mode
My phone is stuck in fastboot mode. Couldn't get the bootloader unlock key online as it requires the product id which can be obtained by dialing a number which isn't possible. I have requested directly from the customer care number and the official chat portal as well but its been more than a week and still they are asking for 24 working hours. Is there any alternative method of getting the key or atleast the Product ID?
Model name :Che1-L04
Stuck in Fastboot & Rescue mode with the bootloader locked.
I got unlock key after 12 days. Honor 4x hanged after restart it is in bootloop.
3 button sd card update not working ?

No the update.app isnt working I guess because I have already flashed the CM13 recovery image with the bootloader locked. However, I recieved the bootloader key yesterday from the email but when I tried unlocking by the fastboot command it said it is an invalid or wrong key. Is there any other way to take my phone back to stock condition atleast without actually unlocking the Bootloader?

1. Try "fastboot continue" it will directly boot without going to recovery.
2. If fastboot flash works flash recovery of the firmware installed in phone before bootloop.
3. If still not works flash boot, system, recovery (in this order) of firmware installed before bootloop.
Confirm unlock key with customer care if it is still locked.
I wanna know is there any other method to install xposed framework since the normal installation is not working for me.
Using Honor 4x Che1-l04 running on (stock ROM) Android marshmallow 6.0.1, have TWRP custom recovery and is rooted.

no other way, unfortunatly.. one way or the other, you have to flash the zip...
ps: if you are on emui, first boot after flashing xposed will take a really long time.. mine took around 25 minutes to boot.. so dont consider it a boot loop, wait untill 30 minutes and you will be profitted
Mine was in boot screen for around 3 minutes and then rebooted into recovery. Same thing was happening again and again. So at last did the restore process from TWRP.

not really..
So in this method:
1) Download Stock ROM for Honor 5c from above and extract it.
2) Now create a folder dload in the root of your SD card and place the update.app file in that folder.
3) Now turn off your device.
4) Now press “Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button” together. The update process will start automatically.
5) Now wait for some time to complete the process.
6) Done.
Do I need to put update.app in sdcard folder on my phone btw its honor 5c or can I put it on Micro SD card I am asking this because I dont have access of my internal storage.
but you answered to your own question at part 2. internal storage isnt sd card so what could be sd card? thats right, sd card!
AHA well i tought that it is maybe a folder on internal storage, never mind thanks

I have a rooted Honor 5C (NEM-L51C432B350 and Nougat) with twrp-3.1.1-0-venus recovery (unlocked bootloader etc.). Today the system informed me that there is an update: NEM-L51C432B357. Now I'm aware that with a rooted phone the update might be not as smooth or automatic.
What's the best way to preceed to apply the update without soft-bricking the phone? Granted I must restore the stock recovery. But do I have to relock the bootloader and remove the root as well? Or is there an easier way?
Also: in bootloader mode I see: FRP Lock. How do I unlock it?
Thank you

I think the easiest way would be dload method search for the update.app on web and you only need update so just download the update and not the whole firmware and do a backup before update and i think you dont have to relock bootloader and you dont have to remove root and for 7.0 nougat you need to have openkirin version of twrp
You can always just try just update it I think you should not have any problems but if you think you would you can try the method i wrote you
I hope i helped you

@leoleo333 and @wallace108 I upgraded from B350 to B357. I had to restore to STOCK revovery. My phone was not rooted but i am almost 100% sure that you need to REMOVE root. It could cause problems. As for the BOOTLOADER i did not relock my bootloader and suffered no issues installing the update. However the bootloader was locked afterwards and i had to unlock it once again and then install a suitable TWRP or any custom recovery of your choice that is compatible with EMUI 5+/Nougat.
Hope that helps(give me a thanx if so). Cheers
So... i recently tried to flash lineage os bug changing the format of the partition corrupted my data partition.
I managed to boot the system, but without sound, camera, and the nfc tag is going on and off.
How can i get rid of it and get back to REAL stock?
What works:
-TWRP
-Fastboot
What I already tried:
-The unbrick method from haky and chinhon. -> still landing in a rom with these bugs
-extracting system,recovery,boot from update.app and flashing it with fastboot -> doesn't start at all
-flashing update.zip -> data error
force upgrade update.app -> stops at 5%
Some information about the device:
Rooted: no
unlocked bl: yes
Please help me :crying:
Firstly flash stock recovery and try making a factory reset
Then if you will boot into os, download app called Firmware Finder and download firmware PRA-LX1C432B175 using in-app proxy
You can also try using eRecovery to restore your device
If that fails download the service unbrick firmware from here: http://androidhost.ru/K5 , extract it and put dload folder on the root of an sdcard (sd card should be 8bor more). Insert sdcard into tye phone and on phone powered off hold volume up + volume down+ power. When you see huawei logo let go of the power button but keep holdiing volume up + volume down until you see emui logo
The update process will start.
Hope i helped

Hi, recently I suffered from a softbrick as well.
I followed this procedure https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...a-lx1c432b182-emui-5-01-android-7.858545.html
and VERY IMPORTANT! the procedure only worked when I repeated the bootloader unlock in fastboot (fastboot oem unlock "your unlock code") after following the procedure which finally caused a factory reset. Hope it works for you as well!
:fingers-crossed:
P.S.: I think it only works with a rooted device

Hy, take a look HERE That's worked for us
Okay thank you guys but i managed it on my own and here is the solution:
I used chinhons backup and put in on my external sdcard. Then I tried to restore it, but it failed at restoring the data partition. So I changed the filesystem from /data from f2fs to ext4 and back to f2fs. Then I restored his backup ( 2017-12--PRA-LX1C432B182-stock-su_root) without problems. Then, I restored the cust and oeminfo partition from my own backup and the rom booted without problems. (NFC worked,sound worked and camera worked). Hope over people can fix their phone like this and a big thumbs up to all of you who tried to help me

Bad and useless answer
Hello,
I was trying to install a custom ROM from TWRP to my P8 Lite 2017 and I wiped all partitions except MicroSD.
The installation failed and I got the stock ROM and then I discovered that my bootloader is locked. I can access TWRP and when I flashed the stock ROM the phone just boots to TWRP Recovery. And I can't even unlock the bootloader because the phone doesn‘t have any OS and I can‘t enable OEM unlocking from the system settings. And because I have TWRP, I can’t access Huawei Recovery. So my phone is basically bricked.
Any help will be appreciated

Use dload with a service firmware.
You need to flash this 2 times,once for the firmware and second time for vendor,and the firmware UPDATE.APP can be found in the update_sd.zip and the vendor UPDATE.APP can be found in the PRA-L31 or PRA-L11 folders (most likely you will have PRA-L31,you can find this in the engineering menu by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info,but since you cannot boot flash PRA-L31 vendor).
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is latest firmware,but takes a very very long time to download
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is the first official firmware released,but download speed is very good
If you don't know how to use dload you can look it up on forums.
If your phone is really hard bricked and can't do anything, check this out:
I know how to use dload, but how I can boot into dload mode with TWRP installed and bootloader locked?

Dload works no matter what,at least I was able to enter it when I bricked my phone,even when I completely screwed up my recovery partition,so you should be good. Try using it with the service firmware I left you.

Now I have downloaded the service firmware so how I am going to flash it now? Like do I extract the UPDATE.APP and flash it in TWRP or what? You said that flash UPDATE.APP, but am I going to do that in dload mode or TWRP?

In dload,make sure you make a folder in the root of your sdcard called dload and put that in there.

Hm,make sure you used the service firmware I left you,but if you are sure you did,your last resort is DC Phoenix which you will need to pay 20 euros.

Hello,
I was trying to install a custom ROM from TWRP to my P8 Lite 2017 and I wiped all partitions except MicroSD.
The installation failed and I got the stock ROM and then I discovered that my bootloader is locked. I can access TWRP and when I flashed the stock ROM the phone just boots to TWRP Recovery. And I can't even unlock the bootloader because the phone doesn‘t have any OS and I can‘t enable OEM unlocking from the system settings. And because I have TWRP, I can’t access Huawei Recovery. So my phone is basically bricked.
Any help will be appreciated

if you have TWRP installed could you make a backup of your oeminfo partition so we could provide you the right firmware to recover your device

Ok, but does it provide the right info if I have flashed different oeminfo.img?

I've tried a different firmware for my device and now I can't get to dload anymore so does it mean that I've chosen the wrong firmware? And by the way I read somewhere that if the dload says error it can depend on the microsd card.
I tried it again with the service firmware and I got to dload and it didn't have error anymore and now I've got everything worked and my phone is unbricked

great
I was stuck with a similar problem. Device bricked and flashing TWRP and restoring backups, then stock recovery and stock roms, but nothing worked until I found this post. Thanks a lot dinoderda for your help.

Use dload with a service firmware.
You need to flash this 2 times,once for the firmware and second time for vendor,and the firmware UPDATE.APP can be found in the update_sd.zip and the vendor UPDATE.APP can be found in the PRA-L31 or PRA-L11 folders (most likely you will have PRA-L31,you can find this in the engineering menu by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info,but since you cannot boot flash PRA-L31 vendor).
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is latest firmware,but takes a very very long time to download
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is the first official firmware released,but download speed is very good
If you don't know how to use dload you can look it up on forums.

Hello again, I've been using the older service firmware for few months now and now I decided to install the latest service firmware after I had no success with flashing the firmware through TWRP and I downloaded the service firmware put the necessary files to the dload folder and installed it via the software update in the dialer and typing *#*#2846579#*#* and going to dload that way. It installed to 100% and then when it restarted it goes to Error Mode and it says to update the firmware again but it just loops to error mode and I cannot do anything so I think I accidentally removed some neccessary files in the dload folder but now I would need to fix the error mode loop.
