Post download link to upgrade from b121 to 130 and 140 please, I tried from link but update done 100% but after restart phone showing v b121 why?
[Honor 7 General] a.andreafabris:
I'm the only one remained with just the 121 version? ?

[Honor 7 General] SatBandit:
Put the compressed update.zip file into your dload folder and not just the uncompressed update.app
[Honor 7 General] gerhard_wa:
Did you put the untouched downloaded file named (or renamed) update.zip (not unpacked!) in a newly created folder named "dload" on the internal or external memory? Only one at a time, first 130 and after this update 140?
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
i have now tested EVERYTHING. Tried fastboot to flash system.img aswel....could not load system.img it said.

Tried to insert the files on to the SD card......unpacked... as it tries to find update.app when (volum + - and power button pressed) ..and still also have update.zip there. It updates....sais that it was a success....BUT what does it say when rebooting again? B121.

Unrooted.....factory reset...clean cache....etc.

This phone is everything except update friendly....
[Honor 7 General] stevevalo:
I've updated mine with out any problems. Therefore the phone is everything including update friendly.
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
As you see....a lot of people have the same problem. If we just compare mine and yours...that is 50% success when it comes to update. Therefore the phone is everything except update friendly.

I even use HiSuite.... My phone sais there is an update. HiSuite has the function EMUI update. Pressing that gives the answer.... System is up to date!!!!
[Honor 7 General] ashensii:
Are you sure you have system.img at the same folder where you open your cmd prompt? Fastboot drivers are pk? Fastboot devices command shows something? I was able to update to B130 after I flashed stock recovery.img and system.img. before flashing my update jammed at 9%. Check also that your stock rom has same device variant as your device for example I had to flaah c432 variant for plk-l01. There ia also plk-l01 variant starting with 6
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
I have all the files in same folder as fastboot. The version i have istalled now is PLK-L01C432B121. When inside update app. is sais that it has found an update.. PLK-L01C432B130

I have downloaded that packade from links in this thread...i hope it is right....

I can flash recovery.....i can flash boot. I have a unique number and a device attached when sending command fastboot devices.

The strange thing is that i now have B100....B121....B130.

I can put them inside the SD card and make an update....is sais OK...update Successful. But it does not do anything at all?

Just downloaded PLK-L01C432B100 Upgrade Software WEU.zip 1.6G. copied the update.zip into the SD card...and installed. SUccess....but still on B121 ???

Somebody has managed to do the update by first downgrading it.....but i cant do anything it seems to....no changes at all....

Seems that something is blocking it totally? Could you please put up your correct version of the update file?

My ideas are running out now.....
[Honor 7 General] ashensii:
I flashed b100 system.img and recovery over twrp'd and supersu'd b121. Then i downloadwd b121 ota, after that I dl'd b130 ota. Lastly I flashed b140 manually from sdcard.
[Honor 7 General] N!KE26:
Any tips to getting out of TWRP boot loop when I forgot to change to stock recovery?
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
Hey...just slowly now :)

With GOOD explanation please :)

Soo you copied the system.img and recovery.img into internal memory /sd card. Rebooted into TWRP recovery. Installed those 2 files.

Then ???

supersu'd b121?

What do you mean here? Did you rooted the phone.....installed root.......entered super su app...and pointed out the B121 file----somehow???

thanks for helping.....
[Honor 7 General] ashensii:
naged to get it in order.

Download full rom b100, then use huawei update extractor tool to extract recovery.img and system.img, then in folder where you have those files open cmd window, adb reboot bootloader -> fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img -> fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img -> fastboot reboot -> you'r honor 7 boots up, go to system update, you'll see that you're now running version B100, download and install ota B121, go to system update again, dl and install B130, and then manually install B140 from dload folder.

My B121 version had twrp recovery and supersu installed before I did all I mebtioned above.
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
Ok...thanx mate....i understand now.

Still just one problem.... i can flash recovery... using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

But system.img gets answer back

error: cannot load system.img ...directly...without starting to flash at all...

is it because of the size? 2.3 G ???

Sight....
[Honor 7 General] ashensii:
Corrupted file?
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
I have extracted it from the update.app file after downloaded it from the net...from several places...

Using huawei update extractor.
[Honor 7 General] deadko:

Hello to all

But when I go to flash the twrp, it says ok, reboot to recovery and appear stock recovery , then I reboot and begin to update apps like When the 2 updates done.

I test it in two pcs, redownload the twrp and everitime the same, only stock recovery

Need help, thanks!
[Honor 7 General] N!KE26:
Try press both volume buttons.
[Honor 7 General] deadko:
In what moment? to enter fastboot? or when? thanks

EDIT : ok, I flashed a recovery extracted from the last update b140, then rebooted with both volumes...but it start to update huawei and at the 90% stopped, Then i disconect the usb and reboots itself... now reboot to fastboot and flash twrp, reboot with 2 volumes and woila! twrp comes and can flash supersu.

Happy root and thanks!
[Honor 7 General] N!KE26:
When trying to boot to twrp recovery. Turn phone off and press power+vol up+vol down at same time until you see the honor logo.
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
Perfect

Just deleted by accident the system...cache and everything .(wipe using twrp)...now the phone just shows the logo and nothing more happens.

extracted all .img files from update.app (b100) and used "fastboot flash Y X.img" ....where X is each .img file and its corresponding folder Y. Every file was flashed succesfully except userdata.img. Rebooted and still just logo....

Looked into the filesystem using TRWP....and it seems that nothing has happend.....just as it did not before...EVEN if the phone said it has updated....nothing at all happend. Still same version.

*******BEEEEEEEEEEP***************
[Honor 7 General] Sideness:
You saved me man !

Thanks ! Back to B100 and now i can update ;)
[Honor 7 General] mgolder:
Sorry but you are a proper whinger. You root your phone.....You try to install updates..... You are the one who wiped the phone in twrp. The phone, the updates, huawei/honor did nothing.

You only have yourself to blame, yet you just want to moan and pretend it isn't your fault.

Both 130 and 140 updates went as easily as can be here. It's a three step process. But if you being rooted meant you decided to do things differently.... Then it's your fault.

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

And as an actual comment about the update itself instead of endlessly talking about how to get it.......

Over 7.5 hours when i slept last night, I lost 2% battery. Before 140 update I was losing 10% at least. So, I'm happy with the update so far.
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
Just let me cry a little okey? Beeing angry...... Of course its my fault accidental having it erased...but the problem was from the beginning not beeing able to update...

Just managed to format the whole phone, reflashed everything from beginning....to B100. Now it seems to be ok to update....having installing B130 now.....

But anyway......one shoud NEVER need to DOWNGRADE....to beeing able to upgrade.... Something is not ok here....anyway...

Fastboot seems also to be the issue here. Downloaded a new one....this one worked with flashing the system.img...the first one did not.....

(sorry for beeing emotional....perhaps i´m gonna take it back and love my phone and always buy Huawei ;) ) ....i already bought three of them :)

Edited: DONE....at last.....

Solution:

Look into fastboot....some versions does not work as it should somehow...

If you "accidentally" wipe the system....perhaps that was the solution for me as i could not change anything before?

Download full B100....extract these files below using huawei extractor and place them in the same directory as fastboot.

Do these steps.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Now the system is back and running again. With B100 version.

Then its just to update via updater under settings when phone is up and running. All until version B140.

B140 needs to be placed into the SD card (create folder dload. insert the file update.zip inside this folder)

Go into the updater again and choose LOCALLY...point out the update.zip file and let it update.

My problem seemed to be that the fastboot would only work partially....and something blocked the update as well.....

Best phone i have ever had though...even if i got mad because it should not be like this....going downgrading to beeing able to upgrade.

But it seems that this is the issue only if rooted before.....

My phone was unlocked and rooted. Still unlocked during this procedure. Hope one does not need to do this again when next update comes.... :)

THANKS everybody that tried to help me...even if i was a whinger ;)
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
sight..

Thought that everything was fine now....discovered that i only have 3.7G of 16G visible... internal memory...!!! Whata heck happend...

hmm...seems to be something when using backup feature....might be neccessary to simple reinstall everything manually.... .hmmm

witch profil i have to selecet to extract HONOR 7 Update.app? "Mate" or "Mate 7" or what??? Where i can find the necessary profile.xml file? Sorry, but i need help!:D
[Honor 7 General] RaS_KoR:
You can let the "Unknown (worstenbrood)" profile. I used version 0.9.9.3 successfully.
[Honor 7 General] sionyboy:
Anyone else find that Google Services now keeps the phone awake on b140?
[Honor 7 General] rotmistr:
For those with root on b121:

Actually there's no need to downgrade to the b100. You can do the same downloading the full b121 rom from MoDaCo
[Honor 7 General] Mauxak:
Can someone post the b140 update again? The Google Drive file does not work on my device. My updater can't find the file when I try to local update it. But the downloaded file was in dload folder.
[Honor 7 General] deadko:
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1096052

[Honor 7 General] bamserl:
please, could you upload your working fastboot forthe H7 somewhere, and post the download link?
[Honor 7 General] Mauxak:
Unfortunately I am still not able to install the update via emui updater. The updater says there is no package in the dload folder but I put the zip file in the required folder. Can you help me?
[Honor 7 General] deadko:
the fastboot.exe stay in the google package android sdk installer

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

simply copy in sd in folder "dload" the update.zip according the version you desire
[Honor 7 General] Mauxak:
Thank you for helping. I did not know that the file has to be renamed to work. Next problem is that the update stucks at 2 % an I need to restart the phone without updating.

After restarting phone again the update worked as expected :)
[Honor 7 General] meldrak:
Hi

I got the update today from B121, I upload the zip here

https://mega.nz/#!l55HwBaR!z1kBZDDtV9tRkVOhif65hmZCwbMG_BixR3SVVQ5DYXk

must be on B121 to apply this one, no needs to flash B130 before
[Honor 7 General] fritsprive:
Thanks all, updated via manual update and worked like a charm, now on B140.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
can someone explain me the reason why the new full Update (121->140) is quiet different (crc check of apps and librarys and so on) to the older 130->140 update? Yes i know that this are different packages but normaly i would think that the parts of 140 early have to be the same like the most parts in the new file. but it isn't.

Please have a look at my attachment to fully understand what i mean.:D

the right side of the picture shows partial the new file.

Sorry about my bad english!
[Honor 7 General] Crunkrock:
Worked! Thanks man. I can confirm the camera update. Didn't get any notification so far, so I can't tell anything about the double notificiations.
[Honor 7 General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Can I use this in plk ul00? I am in b708(5.1.1)
[Honor 7 General] olias42:
Yeah getting similar issues, phone just not sleeping properly since updating to B140, my battery is draining at about twice the rate it was before with no other changes.
[Honor 7 General] sionyboy:
Good, not just me then!
[Honor 7 General] mgolder:
It tells you at the beginning of the title of the thread.
[Honor 7 General] simo6:
have you tried a factory reset? i did a factory reset just after updating to b140 and i've noticed a clear improvement of the battery comparing to b121
[Honor 7 General] EGneets:
Actually no. I tried over night, kept phone on overnight with wifi + network both on.

It drained 7% in 7 hours or so.

I did have that google drainage issue in the past.

To try and fix it I first did a partition cache wipe. This didnt fix my problem (on my old Moto G phone it usually did).

Then I turned off the Device manager so that I could remove all updates of play store + play services.

After removing I rebooted and after a while you will receive new updates for those apps.

This did fix my drainage issie.

BY THE WAY; I have the impression that te screen contrast has improved after the b121 update. Did anyone else notice this too? Is anyone able to measure if this impression is correct?
[Honor 7 General] AlexandrosNic:
Same here...
[Honor 7 General] meldrak:
I did it and resolve this issue too. Thanks !!!
[Honor 7 General] :
I am on B121. I downloaded the b130 put the update in dload. the update installs perfectly and goes to 100% then says success. phone reboots and I am still on 121. any help would be appreciated

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

also just tried the b121 to 140 package. update says success again but i am still on b121. very confused by this. i wiped cache just to check still nothing.

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

its ok guys i figured it out see an older comment about putting the untouched zip package in dload. seems to be working now apps are updating
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
did you rename both packages to update.zip before flashing them???:cool:

names like "B140_update.zip" or similar are not working!!!
[Honor 7 General] olias42:
Took on board what you'd said and decided to just try clearing the app cache for Google Play Services and that seems to have done the trick. So far today it has been unplugged for 2.5 hours and only just dropped to 98% as I was looking at it. Previously it was losing up to 4% an hour with no use.
[Honor 7 General] tampiss:
Im having same issue. Accidently did factory reset and lost everything.

I have flashed B100 based on above but now I have another issue. The system is up and running, but whenever I try to update B121 (both OTA or local update), the update starts, yet fails after 10% of upgrade.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Well, I have rebooted to Android, then I did factory reset. But this did not help.

How do I do wipe the cache if running stock recovery please? Any adb / fastboot trick?

Thank you.

Odesláno z mého LG-H815 pomocí Tapatalk
[Honor 7 General] crowhater:
fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

But then you need to reflash recovery...boot...cache.....system and userdata

Extact them from the update package using huawieextractor...

put these 5files in same directory and flash with this ..

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Good luck....
[Honor 7 General] tampiss:
Well niether of those fastboot erase... works for me. I always get FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).

Update: I have booted stock recovery and wiped all. I will see if the update goes through once I download it again ;)

Update 2: so this did not help. I still can not update anything. Im stucked at 3% of updating process with message: Software install failed. Reboot system now. :-/

Update 3: flashing whole ROM did the trick woohoo :)
[Honor 7 General] alvanyap:
try whole night to move from malaysia version PLK-L01C636B120 to EU version B121, after unlocked bootloader failed to flash using the normal way which is press volume up & down, at the end i manage to flashed by using fastboot (img file extracted via huawei tools), however i cant manage to upgrade OTA no matter is from hardware key combination or in system EMUI Updater, it just failed in 10%

so i have to revertback to B120
[Honor 7 General] ballerexx:
Hey, from malaysia too!! ? btw, do you know why the 'dload' method is not working for us?? Keeps on saying it failed. Currently on b120 too..
[Honor 7 General] Dark_Horse:
Updated from B121 to B140 using the zip in post #105. Have also cleared the cache for Google Play and Google Services as described in post 119. Really, really hope the battery life improves because it's never been able to comfortably last the day.
[Honor 7 General] studlolox:
Me also from malaysia :D

i manage to update to B140 EU version firmware by 1st flash B121 EU version using fastboot method (flash boot,cache,system,recovery & userdata) then update to B130 & B140 using manually (dload method)
[Honor 7 General] themegaphoenix:
thanks, the both the file updates worked flawlessly

b121>b130>b140

thanks
[Honor 7 General] alvanyap:
after some test and tips from successful user, i manage to flash to B140 :), here's the step i used:

1. download android tools (adb, fastboot)

2. get your phone bootloader unlocked

3. download B121 full rom, extract to some places

4. download B130 & B140 update (no need extract)

5. download huawei rom extract tools

6. run huawei rom extract tools -> select the update.app extracted earlier under dload folder

7. extract boot.img, system.img, cust.img to same folder with your adb tools folder

8. reboot your phone to bootloader mode

9. fastboot flash all those img file

9. reboot phone

10. copy the update.app to phone's dload folder

11. rename the update.app under 0_cust to update_vendor.app

12. copy the update_vendor.app file to phone's dload folder

13. flash using key combination

14. youre good to go with the rest b130 & b140 update :)

p/s: if you notice your phone's storage are very little at 3gb something, do a factory wipe, it will revert back to 10gb :)
[Honor 7 General] Uebertreiber:
\\EDIT: check my latest post pls.
[Honor 7 General] AlexandrosNic:
Why use this method instead of the easiest method where you name a folder dload in the storage and then local update?
[Honor 7 General] Uebertreiber:
As can be seen from the comments on the page before, this easy way doesn't seem to work if you're on the Malaysian B120 firmware.. the other guys already spent hours to try so I think they already tried the easy way.

I have followed alvanyap's instruction and everything worked fine!

Thanks man :)
[Honor 7 General] AlexandrosNic:

[Honor 7 General] Uebertreiber:
Hey, I actually solved all my problems and run on B140 now! Updated my posts a few time so I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

My problem was that I unzipped the .zip files ! What happens is the Phone will look like its running an update (except it updates really fast) , even say the update finished successful - but then nothing changes.

When doing it the right way - putting the "update.zip" into the dload folder and then pushing the update, everything should work fine!
[Honor 7 General] onlinejobwork:
I download and update successfully from B100 to the next and then B140 from the link somewhere here below, but after using it for few days I found out that my phone never going into deep sleep more than 62 person and battery performance is gone down also and my phone restarts itself at least one time a day, somebody mention here that B140 is actually a beta version, is anybody knows if there any non beta version available?
