Has anyone rolled back from Nougat / emui 5? - Honor 5C Questions & Answers

I had used firmware finder to upgrade from emui 4.1.2 to NEM L51C432B350.
I've regretted it since as B350 is not ready. WiFi is patchy and more importantly, battery standby is just not as good as B130. Battery saving doesn't seem to keep apps asleep.
There is a B355 version on firmware finder but it is not signed for me yet.
Has anyone been able to roll back from Nougat? And what is the process? Honor website and forums have been hopeless.

May be different for you

Now with solution!
OK, so it turns out that the rollback is fairly easy. It's just not very clear if you're a novice (like me).
First, use the backup app to back up all your info to the SD card. This process wipes everything on the phone memory.
Next, use Firmware Finder to download the software version that you want to roll back to. In my case, NEM-L51C432B130.
Once that is downloaded, extract the zip file. The largest file in the unzipped folder should be UPDATE.APP. Leave this for now, we'll come back to it.
The next step is to download the test keys / intermediate file from here http://www.hihonor.com/pl/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=94145
This is a Polish rollback file for NEM-L22, but that doesn't matter. As far as I can see, this just preps the system for rollback. Thanks to user schizmatyk for linking this on another thread.
The intermediate file is a zip of around 70Mb. Once it is downloaded, extract it and you should have a file called UPDATE.APP. This is different from the file with the same name mentioned above.
Copy this update.app to the dload folder on the root of your SD card. If you don't have a dload folder, create one.
*NOTE - there are also clear instructions on a pdf file in this download.
Next, flash the intermediate file by switching your phone off. Then hold volume up & volume down, switch on again. Keep holding the buttons until the phone has started. You will see a message to say that an update is being applied. It only takes a moment.
Your phone will restart.
Once started again, go to the dload folder on your SD card and delete the update.app file.
Then go back and copy UPDATE.APP from the extracted folder of the ROM that you want to rollback to. Paste it into the dload folder.
Repeat the flash process above. Phone off, volume buttons and switch on. Phone will update and wipe. This will take a bit longer.
Once the phone restarts, use the backup app to restore all your data from earlier.

Buat folder baru di sdcard(eksternal) dgn nama dload
Ekstart dulu polish rollback nya sampai ketemu file update.apps? Sebesar 70mb (1)
Klu sudah letakkan file tsb di sdcard dlm folder dload jika tidak ada folder dload bisa di bikin sendiri
Matikan device nya....llu tekan volume atas dan volume bawah bersamaan sampai device menyala kembali dan sampai pesan your update applied
Selanjutnya ekstrak file update.zip (2) yg isinya berisi file update.apps? Lalu hapus folder dload yg pertama di buat tadi ...bikin folder dload lagi dan letakkan update.apps? Tdi ke dlm folder dload tsb
(Yg lain gk usah)
Klu sdh buka telepon ketik *#*#2846579#*#*

Clean debranding P8 (GRA-L09)

This is the only clean way to debranding your P8 with official Huawei update L09V100R001C900B170.
1. Download from Huawei Hungary the latest european version L09V100R001C900B170 : http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=49884&version=118243&siteCode=hu
2. You will find in downloaded file 'D__documents_Temp_upload_GRA-L09C900B170CUSTC432D001-Europe.rar' two folders :
/CUSTOM
/dload
3. Copy both folders /CUSTOM and /dload forders with one update.app in each folder in your SD card
4. Shut down your P8
5. Press "Vol+" + "Vol-" + "Power" until your P8 vibrates
6. Update will start. If you have an operator ROM, you might get un error message at the end. Do not worry.
7. Turn on your P8 and configure it (don't need to create Google account or even to connect it to WiFi.
8. Open Huawei File Explorer and rename /dload folder containing update.app (2.91 Gb) to /dload.rom (or other name you fancy)
9. Rename /CUSTOM folder containing update.app (19Kb) to /dload
10. Repeat steps 4 to 7
11. Open Huawei File Explorer and rename /dload folder containing update.app (19Kb) to /CUSTOM
12. Rename /dload.rom folder containing update.app (2.91 Gb) to /dload
13. Repeat AGAIN steps 4 to 7
14. Open Huawei File Explorer and delete /CUSTOM and /dload folders from your SD card.
That's it. Your P8 bought from your operator will be now complete debranded with the latest European ROM
NB: Steps 10 to 13 (to reflash L09V100R001C900B170 after flashing the patch in /CUSTOM folder) are recommended to have a clean installation.

Well, I think it's quite clear. Download the latest European ROM (not branded) from official Huawei server in Hungary (link above) and inside the downloaded file (.rar) you will find two folders.
@ BUNDOO
are there possibilities to make OTA updates after this install? I suppose that the answer is no, but can you confirm please?
And are there risks to have difficulties with the connectivity option? Some users noticed this issue after installing a new stock rom

If you change a branded operator P8 to unbranded just flashing the stock unbranded ROM, you will have problems. I can confirm that.
BUT if you install the latest stock ROM L09V100R001C900B170 http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=49884&version=118243&siteCode=hu that includes a custom update from Huawei to install after the ROM, everything will be fine. Please note this is the official Huawei update center thus the ROM file is the official untouched ROM from Huawei
People who have problems with their branded P8 after flashing in the past a stock ROM, their phones will work flawless again.
Now, concerning future OTA updates, I cannot tell you because for the moment L09V100R001C900B170 is the latest update. As far as I know, you stop getting OTA updates ONLY when you flash an unbranded phone with an operator branded ROM.
My Bouygues Telecom P8 came with GRA-L09_V100R001C432B124CUSTC101D001. Now it's running flawless GRA-L09V100R001C900B170CUSTC432D001 which has many enhancements and stability over Bouygues ROM. Besides, I believe, in the future I will get more updates from Huawei for the European stock ROM than for the Bouygues ROM.

Indeed, after debranding you'll get official updates for the free market. That's the main reason for debranding because operator updates are more rare and usually they come out much later.
yes, it is normal OTA are working fine after debranding... i'm on b200 too
Anyway we won't get marshmallow for GRA-L09
Thanks. It worked like described.
Now i'am on the b200 and no bug with my smartwatch

[GUIDE] Huawei P9 Lite FM Radio

.
Hi friends. I'm from Turkey.
Our stock firmwares not include FM radio in Turkey (and maybe diffirent countries. I don't know).
I will show you how to enable fm radio for Huawei P9 Lite.​
For Android 6.0 (Emui 4)
Download HwFMRadio.apk Here
Go to system/app folder, create new folder and rename it to HwFMRadio
Copy downloaded HwFMRadio.apk file to this folder
Set permissions
Go to cust/channel/tr/prop (mine is "tr", yours maybe diffirent)
Open local.prop file in text editor
Find this line: ro.config.fm.disable=true and change it to false
Save and exit
Reboot the phone.
For Android 7.0 (Emui 5)
Go to product/app folder. If there is a folder named HwFMRadio, pass 2. item.
If there is not HwFMRadio folder, then create it.
Download the apk from here and copy it to HwFMRadio folder. And set permissions.
Go to cust/channel/tr/prop (mine is "tr", yours maybe diffirent)
Open local.prop file in text editor
Find this line: ro.config.fm.disable=true and change it to false
Save and exit
Go to cust/channel/tr/xml (mine is "tr", yours maybe diffirent)
Open unstall_apk.xml file in text editor
Delete lines containing "HwFMRadio"
Save and exit
Reboot the phone
Bunları yapınca telefonu root'lamadan radyosu açılıyor mu? Ayrıca bu model telefonumu 8.0.0'a güncelledim. 8.0 için de yardımcı olur musunuz?
How can I do it for my moms Android 8.0.0 EMUI?
And the bootloader is locked and the phone is unrooted...

EVA-L09C432B386 files for HWOTA?

Hi, I would like to restore my P9 to stock rom EVA-L09C432B386 using the HWOTA method explained here.
I am unable to locate the firmware files required.
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip
Does anyone have them?
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place.
Thanks.
Hi, I am looking for the same or similar to upgrade from EVA-L09C432B210, preferably in the format where i can use the dialpad? All previous links seem dead. If anyone has a copy of this software somewhere this would be much appreciated.
Same problem that I have too, I guess we arrived late ....

If you guys use TWRP, we can talk about a prebuilded zip to flash. On the other hand allmost every firmware is unpacked and is only as img files available. Most are useless to store.

Hi, could you share the full zips for B378?
How would I use a prebuilt zip to restore to stock?
Thanks for your reply!
Check if you can find something in Nougat folder at:
15.94 GB folder on MEGA
32 files and 6 subfolders
mega.nz
Rar images should be unarchived and inside you should find zips for updating.
Some may even contain official installation documentation
I dont know but maybe in the future someone is going to need my signature.
Have fun.
