Hi all, i have a EVA-L19 that i recently was forced to flash to the NewWorld Rom after a broken corrupt partition.
I am trying to work out how to flash back to the official stock rom so I can try to unlock the bootloader and root the phone again.
Does anyone know how I should do this?
I've managed to download what seems to be the boot.img/recovery.img/EVA-L19_C185B130 Rom.
Since Huawei doesnt use odin like samsung phones, does anyone know how I can recover to stock? Hisuite doesnt seem to support a full recovery.
Thanks!
interested to know also
Me too.
Easier than it seems
Well, after many years on this forum I decided to register just ti give a bit back to the community, and because I myself have been struggling with this issue for a very long time (I am getting old and not so tech-davy anymore).
!NB: You will beed a micro-SD card, I personally could not find a way to do it without one, so bought one an hour ago - 8GB was the smallest they had. Ross are <3GB, but to be safe 4GB card is a good option.
So here is the process of flashing stock rom:
1. Download Suitable Stock Rom:
EVA L09: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
EVA L19: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l19-b162-t3410212
1.1 Unzip archive and place 'dload' folder (with .APP file inside) on the SD card.
2. If you have TWRP - Flash stock recovery:
2.1 Easiest way for me was to download a package here (two links in first post): http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-root-huawei-p9-t3367800 - Thanks to djeloy!
2.2 Unzip package and go to "PASO 3" directory.
2.3 Unplug from PC (if connected) and turn off the phone
2.4 Hold Volume Down and connect to PC while holding Volume Down
2.5 Once phone is connected, it will turn on in download (or whatever that is) mode
2.6 Open .bat file in "PASO 3" directory and press 'Enter' key
2.7 Stock Recovery should flash and phone will restart
3. Flash Stock Rom:
3.1 Turn the phone off and make sure PC cable is not connected.
3.2 (While phone is off) Hold 'Volume Up' + 'Volume Down' + 'Power' keys - hold them long, until you see 'Rom Flashing'
3.3 Rom should be flashed now
Hope this helps someone

Keep getting extraction error when trying to unzip the file.
Any other links to stock rom?
Hey guys and gals,
@zandercook1 glad to be able to help
@warface, Unfortunately I do not come here too often, somboons made a thread with all the Stock Roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586 Might be that the archive was downloaded with some pieces getting corrupted, which resulted in extraction error? I used 7-zip program, maybe it will take a difference, although doubtful..

I've tried many different ROMs from different places. All fail with the same error.
It's got to be something wrong with my current ROM somewhere.

How to relock bootloader?
Afternoon gents.
So yesterday i tried to update my Mate S with 5.1 Android to the 6.0 version with Huawei´s Firmware. After adding the Dload file to the mobilephone and starting the update sequenze, the phone does a double boot, basically does the first boot as usual, after loading the first boot it reboots and does a second boot. The second boot just gets stuck at the Huawei loadingscreen.
Ive tried to clear both the cache folder and do a factory reset, both did not work. I tried to do a recovery from the Hisuit software from Huawei, but as my phone is not supported by the software, that did not work either. (And yes, i did get the phone into the Fast Boot menu).
So from what i can see, im left with doing a manuel reset of the ROM. This is not something im very good at, allthough i do know alot about PCs, phones is a whole nother area i have not exlored yet.
So i was wondering if anyone here had any help they could provide me with how i can fix this for this specific phone. I do have the stock ROM and the newest ROM with 6.0 Android.
Ive been fooling around with ADB and SP Flash Tools, but i constantly get stuck as im not too sure what im doing.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Edits
Just a few Edits:
The ADB i simply could not figure out how to use, the SP Flash Tools on the other hand looked quite simplistic and easy to use. Problem i had with the SP Flash Tools is that i only have the Update.APP file, but i did need a Scatter file (and possibly some other files), this is where i got stuck using this software.
Also, i forgot to mention. Whenever i turn off the phone by holding inn the ON/OFF Buttion, it automatically restarts and tries to boot again. Basically i cannot turn it off.
hi..
try to get a full 5.1.1 rom for your mate s..
which cust version do you have?
eu is c432
global is c900
and all others are provider based firmwares or other countries..
so you need to get your proper firmware which is for your country, then take an external sd card..format it on pc (fat32), put a folder on it named "dload", inside this you put the update.app (no need for other files)..
then start your phone by pressing all three hardware buttons (power, vol+ & vol-) at the same time and hold them until the update screen is showing up..
then it should flash/install this firmware..
after that try to start the OTA updater by huawei..
if this doesn't work, take the correct update.app (full version) of the next higher version (in my example it was c432b145 (android 5) - c432b321 (android 6 beta) - c432b361 (android 6 final) ) and do the same as before..
good luck

Hi, thanks for the reply.
To be honest, im not completly sure which i have, but considering i bought it in Norway i supose the EU version is the correct: eu is c432
I did not know you coul boot from an external SD card. this made things alot easyer. Ill drive out to my office where i have a micro SD card coverter and try this fix. Ill bring all the Firmwares and lets hope it all works!
Cheers for the reply man, might just be my lifesaver.
Hello again,
I tried what you suggested with both the stock ROM and the new updated ROM, but it did not seem to work. The problem i get is when the update starts, it reaches 5% when it verifies the software, then i get a "Software install failed!".
Please note i had this problem before i tired this, problem first occured when i did a factory reset of the device. So i belive the phone is still not booting from the SD card, but from thge phone itself as before. How do i solve this?
I could also add. before i did the factory reset, the update did work, but it still got stuck on the boot logo.
I gues ill be sending the phone inn for service tomorrow unfortunatly, cause i cannot figure this out. Thanks though!
Many people have problems to get back from C432B336 to C432B160/151/etc. so I decided to briefly explain, how to rollback using official Huawei tools. I am not responsible for any damage, soft bricks, hard bricks, etc. Internal storage will be wiped clean! This method worked for me, I did it twice on L31 and L21, both times without any problems. All firmware files come from official Huawei support for Germany, UK, and Poland. Here we go:
1. Preparation
A few things are necessary before we can rollback:
SD Card (needed to apply update)
Huawei Rollback File
For L31C432 (EU): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93787&siteCode=de
For L21C432 (EU): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93800&siteCode=pl
For L11C432 (EU): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93764&siteCode=uk
Full OTA Software File (for the system You want to finally end up with)
L31C432B160: http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93803&siteCode=de
L21C432B160: http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93802&siteCode=pl
L11C432B161: http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93804&siteCode=uk
PC/Mac and USB cable
2. Going to C900B300
Rollback file will change Your software info to C900B300. As far as I know, this is a specific firmware key, that alows to fully update firmware to any other version. What you need to do:
Download and unpack Huawei Rollback File for Your device (links in chapter 1)
Copy "dload" folder from unpacked file to Your SD card
Turn off Your phone and turn it back on, holding POWER, VOL+ and VOL- buttons
Now, Your phone should apply update from SD card, and reboot
In Your phone, go to "Settings" -> "About Phone". If Your software version is LXXC900B300, everything is fine, and You can proceed
2. Switching to Marshmallow
Download and unpack Software File for Your device (links in chapter 1)
Remove all files from "dload" folder on Your SD Card, and copy "UPDATE.APP" from the file You just unpacked to this folder
Turn off Your phone and turn it back on, holding POWER, VOL+ and VOL- buttons
Now, Your phone should apply update from SD card, and reboot
Second reboot may last a while, but eventually You'll see a popup informing about removing user data
Next reboot will bring You a fresh install of MM,
Done
Again, I'm not responsible for any bricks, crashes, etc. If You want more information or help, please, leave a comment in this thread.

It works with unlocked bootloader?
I failed on the first step, it says "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package." I'm on VNS-L21C432B336

Try downloading rollback package for Your country, maybe that will help. You can find them on Huawei support site.
Did it yesterday. Works perfect for me. THX for the links
Done today and it worked perfectly (rollback from c432b335 to c432b161).
Bye, folks!
First file installed, rebooted... stuck seeing the Huawei logo... :/
Edit: it booted but the build number says i'm on test-keys and still android 7...And missing half of the apps
So I don't know if I can continue with the rollback

At the moment I'm not so sure anymore! But I am sure I used the L31 version, which is the one I need...
Edit: solved! See this thread
I can't downgrade to 6.0
It always fails when I try to apply the first step, and I can't find an package for my country(Romania) VNS-L31C432B336. I tried all the possible packages, and it doesn't work...
I can't downgrade to 6.0 too...i fail the fist step(the install upgrade goes well but the reset doesn't), i'm quite sure i used the right rollback package. I'm now stuck, hiSuite doesn't work(it doesnt' recognize the device or something like that) eRecovery cannot retreive the package to reset. I really don't know what to do.
Update: the phone is not bricked,there's some part of a OS similar to android,witout keybord, navigation bar and notification bar. Is it a clone??D: i should have wiped cache and factory reset(somehow)but nothing seems to work, everything fail.

That is really strange. I received an answer from them the very next day after I sent my e-mail describing my problem. Then it was just a matter of a few hours and constant e-mail exchange with them, talking about the problem, and eventually they found a way to fix it and it worked like a charm. The fix is exactly the same as in this thread.
Followed the guide to rollback from vns-l31c432b336 to b161 and worked flawlessly: just to give more details on the installation progress, if you see an error message during data erase in the first dload installation, don't mind it, reboot and proceed to next step, if you did follow exactly what the OP says, you will have no problem with last installation!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, saved me lot of time and efforts!
Thanks!
works perfect!

Hi everyone,
I need to flash stock rom on a huawei P SMART 2019
Unfortunately I followed all steps on this link : https://firmwarefile.com/huawei-p-smart-2019-pot-lx1
I installed all drivers, software but when I put in donwload mode, it shows ADB interface ready but not downloading on the phone or sometime I get a fastbook status failed
If anyone had a little trick with this
Thank you.
If you’re still looking for a solution, I reverted a Huawei P Smart 2019 (POT-LX1 but may also be known as POT-L21) back to 9.1 stock ROM by:
1. Downloading the firmware from here: https://androidhost.ru/search.html
2. Putting the 3 zip files from the firmware in a dload directory on a clean SD card then putting it in the phone (please note that some documentation instruct you to put UPDATE.APP in the dload directory. This didn’t work for me.)
3. Powering on the phone while holding both the volume buttons down
The phone would reboot in EMUI recovery, check the presence of the firmware on the SD card, and install it if correct.
Hi
Unfortunately I can't test anymore since I don't have the demo unit with me but thank you

i tried some other files and find some which updates perfectly..but almost the same.. phone says:
"Your Device has failed verification and may not work properly"
maybe it is bricked for ever...
I hope you'll find a solution. I can't help you any further as I've spent way too much time on that ****ty phone (stay away from Huawei/Honor/Oppo in the future).
