Update to 6.0 - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I.m from România and i have an honor 7,malayesian version. I still have android 5.0.2 and i want to chage it to 6.0 . My phone version is PLK-L01 C636B130. What can i do? Thk
Another question is: can i try an eoropian version,for exemple : C434B...

Nope you have to flash C636 version only, if you got a UPDATE.APP file then you can flash it by doing the below steps.
Download the latest UPDATE.APP for your phone.
Put the UPDATE.APP in dload folder in the root of your external sdcard.
Switch off your phone and then press all the three hardware buttons i.e Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power
Now the update process will start.
Enjoy!!!

Hi,
I am from Malaysian and maybe we had the same unit that start PLK-L01C636B130.
So I tried to flash to other rom (before) and it doesn't work. Not sure why. But later, Huawei gave an OTA update and we manage to copy it somewhere else.
If you want that files, get it here:

Malaysian C636B340 (OTA from B130)

If me, I would go for B330, less issue than B340 (whatsapp notification)
Give it a try.

Glad to hear you manage to get the B330 on your device.
Just a FYI.
Once your phone is running on B330, Huawei will force to push B340 update via OTA. Some people would not like it due to stability. (which is me)
So I rooted my phone and now using the best rom (Pure EMUI Rom V2.1) from @DigiGoon
Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/development/pure-emui-rom-v2-t3420986

Still, battery and features wise, B190 is still the best one. I predict that only next B180 will stabilize MM6.0 with performance, battery drain and missing EMUI features.

if you're on C233B003 Chinese firmware, there's no way to root it yet
my solution, download this Russia B005 firmware, then u can use towelroot to root it
here the link of the firmware
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=28366&version=51558&siteCode=ru
and the Russia firmware is better too btw
Thanks @Gunlock.
I'm, relative new in Android OS. Is there a way to find which firmware exactly i have?
Edit:
Picture from my tablet. Maybe C181B002?
Try to use Towelroot to root your T1, if that fail just do flash the Russia firmware above
And it's B005, it's newer
Thanks, i will try to root with Towelroot.
Btw.
can you please point me to the some tutorial how to flash Mediapad T1?

Download the firmware above, extract it then copy the dload folder to the root of your sdcard, yes it require a sdcard, perform a reboot, it will automatic install the new firmware, you lost all of your data, app data, so backup first
if it doesnt flash on a reboot, shutdown the tablet, hold both volume "+" and "-" and "power" button at the same time, when screen on, release the "power" but keep press volume " + " and " - ", it will now flash the firmware on the sdcard
try it, Ask everything you need here
Thank you so much.
It seems so simple.
Before i flash my Mediapad with that FW, i will ask is there a chance to download original firmware somewhere, it seems to me that my version is C181 B002?
Just in case.

My T1 came with C177B003, for VietNam, i could not find that, maybe look at your local huawei site
I can't find that version also. That version belongs to T-Mobile Croatia i think.
To be honest i can't find anything about T1 firmware at all. Where you browsing for T1 firmware, generally?

So far as i can remember all Russian based system apk can be uninstall except Huawei Theme Manager...
TW quite smooth compare to Apex Pro but it will suddenly crash and lost its default launcher option if I put widget from other sources...
Some updates here:
I dont know what is the user base of this tablet. I got one yesterday.
Mine is on b002 firmware and it is not rootable. I tried all known exploits but nothing.
Also bad news is that bootloader is locked. I havent been able to get code to unlock it. I email them to give key but nothing till now.
Can some one check is bootloader locked on other firmwares. like on that russian?
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
I found link to official firmware it is b006 (after installing hisuite) here is the link (downloading now):
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=89 wirelles only
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=88 3g tablet
If we unlock bootloader i will build recovery for it also when sources are out i will have custom kernel for it.
If anybody find anything interesting please post here.
Edit: installed that china firmware it is faster and there are some improvments but there are no google apps so i dont recommend installing it. I will see if i can root it. Bootloader is locked.

Huawei Firmware Finder (Team MT)

Hello, I would like to share with you from the program's "multi tool" command to search for the latest firmware for devices company huaweiHuawei Firmware Finder (Team MT)

Thanks for pointing out this nifty little app. There are so many apps on the play store that 'claim' to be an updater but all are complete garbage. I've tried it and it works no problem.

Hi,
I am using Honor 5C NEM-L22 model.
Currently I am on firmware B310 (update via Firmware Finder & Proxy - OTA).
I see some other updates listed on google like B351 and B355 but when i search in Firmware Finder, it displays the results till B310 only.
Any idea on how to get these updates as OTA?
Thanks in advance,

B355 update is for build C636, and i guess ur build is NEM-L22C675. B310 is the latest update for C675 right now.

L51 to L22 firmware on a 5C Honor
Hi, 1st time poster,
I have a Honor 5C - Nem-L51 , which I bought in England.
I want to change it to an English Language Nem-L22, and I used Firmware finder , and added a L22, and it is now downloading.
It mentions Indian languages, but will it be ok if I just change the Language to English after download or after install?
The reason I want to change to L22 version is compatibility with Australian Bands.
.frequencycheck.com/country-compatibility/jvg8y/australia/devices?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q%5Bfull_name_cont%5D=honor+5c&q%5Bdevice_brand_id_eq%5D=&commit=Search
Would I be better off with NEM-L22C675 (thats the one I am downloading) , or NEM-L22636 (Asian version)
When I added , i just added the L22C675 as it showed as compatible with my phone.
I downloaded two files, last one is the "updater" Do I need that ? (or just the main one , which is 1.93 gig
The build number of the phone is NEM-L51C432B355.
I am downloading it o the phone. If advice is to use 636 version instead, then I can delete download and start again.
Thanks for any advice !

This will need rebranding to a different variant which is possible but with you nees to pay the utmost care on this as doing this may not only brick but also(if your phone work) can change your phone details, build number, mess with few apps etc.
If need i can do this but won't get time for this soon so you may need to wait. I have done it on my 6X so can do similar way with 5C but i would advise not to do this as you seems to be rally new to this forum and directly taking risk without knowing the consequences
Thanks so far guys

Hi, Yes , brand new to Forum, and thanks for both the above replies.
I love the honor 5c, but the bands on NEM - L51 are not that suitable for either the Uk or Australia. I tried to buy a NEM- L22 while in the UK, but they did not have any for sale , and I was leaving the UK the next day.
If someone could do it, then I would be happy. Firmware finder said NEM-L22 was compatible with my phone, which makes me think it is just a a firmware change, but I know I could brick the phone.
I guess I will think about it bit more. I am keen to try , but I will wait till I know a bit more, glad you managed to do it with your 6x ! Well done!!

Huawei firmware finder by team MT is your best bet. It automatically searches different servers and gives you the firmware.
B350 is the latest update for your device.
But it should have arrived you via OTA already.
Check with HiSuite (or) HiCare app.
Update link - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1046/g104/v60923/f1/full/update.zip
But since this is a zip file, I don't think you can update using this.
I'm not sure about the contents of the file. If the file contains only update.app then you can flash it manually.

Sure. For now I've noticed no problems. I'll need to install root to get rid of junk such as weather and Samsung bloat, but other than that, everything works smoothly. Will update in a couple of days

Tested, works fine. Rom runs smoothly, rooted and debloated.
Battery life increased for a couple of offscreen hours.
Great update, the Phone seems to run even better then before, really impressed so far. Multi-Screen and Always-On are missing, tho, installing them manually won't work either. Guess it wasn't feasible with the A3s hardware limitations.
Yeah i think this german Nougat build is much better than marshmallow,very stable,better battery,fluid animations,very nice.. Tell me your opinions?

Extracted the zip, you get a tar.gz file ready to be flashed. I flashed with Odin, had no problems.
Hello and thanks for the ROM. I've ecountered a few issues:
1) MicroSD doesn't load when i turn off the phone, i have to remove it e put it back in again in order to be recognized
2) Apps like Colornote don't stay in memory when the phone is turned off and on again, so many notes saved on the status bar go missing and I have to open the app everytime
3) I can't delete bloatwares like Samsung apps and GApps. I use Link2SD to delete system app but doesn't work with this rom: when I restart the phone the apps are still there.
Hope someone helps me with this.

[help] How can I upgrade kiw-l21c432b160 to android 6

I need to install Android 6, but I can't seem to find a firmware upgrade that matches my version exactly.
What version is safe to use? I'm completely new to the android world, so I'm completely lost…
The closest I've found is a file named "Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B330CUSTC432D001_Denmark.zip" but according to the PDF included in it I should only be used with versions:
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D005
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D006
KIW-L21C432B140
KIW-L21C432B300CUSTC432D002
Mine is kiw-l21c432b160.
Is it safe to use this one? Do you have any idea where I might find a suitable .zip if not?
Thanks for the help

What is cust version of you phone??
Did you try finding your firmware using firmware finder.?
I've given the full build number as it appears on the device (no CUSTxxx) suffix. Should I look somewhere else?
I'll check this firmware finder app once I have the opportunity.

I have successfully downloaded a firmware using firmware finder.
When I go to Settings, update, local install, it is recognized and offers to install it. But then it boots to TWRP and fails to install. I guess I need to use the stock recovery? Any help appreciated...
And thanks!

Yes you need to to flash stock recovery...
Okay... So the closest I've found is this: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=55194
But it's for B140, not B160. Apparently I have a very exotic model. Is it safe to flash or am I stuck here?

Yes, now I'm starting to understand all these version numbers. My end goal is to install LineageOS, but I need MM first.
So now, I've switched back to Huawei eRecovery instead of TWRP, and tried two different firmwares (before B360 because apparently it prevents installing LineageOS), that were "validated with my IMEI". Settings>Update>Local>Reboot, installation starts I'm about to cry tears of joy and then around 15%, installation fails with no further details. I can then shutdown and reboot to my good ol' lollipop. Not sure what to do next...

I still have the same lollipop firmware my device was bought with. I don't think I have US variant. I brought it from (Amazon France)[https://www.amazon.fr/Honor-5X-Smar...d=1508409802&sr=8-2&keywords=huawei+honor+5x] and I am in France. The product title says it is unlocked but I had to do it myself.
I'll try your link as soon as I receive my SD card, because apparently it is required for this method. I still have this file from an older download, but was scared because a PDF file included in it mentioned it should be used with B140 and did not mention B160, but now that I've flashed a stock recovery meant for B140, this doesn't scare me anymore.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help a noob FOSS-enthusiast!
