[Honor 7 General] Roughneck_sp:
The update file have to be in the dload folder und must be rename in update.app, but it doesn't work anyway
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Same thing for me , anyone succeed ?
[Honor 7 General] stevevalo:
I've managed to get it to recognise the update.app file and do a restart, but the update failed.
[Honor 7 General] wilu85:
* extract this file to int. SD-card (after than you must have "/HwOUC/41952/update.zip" there!!!)

Maybe thats the solve?

[Honor 7 General] Daxer92:
I have done something wrong and now my Honor 7 doesn't starting.

Still restart on Honor logo (3-5sec from start), i can't go to Recovery Mode, just Fastboot starting.

Can u help me??
[Honor 7 General] stevevalo:
ok I've done it!!

I think I did:

/HwOUC/41952/update.app (this is the file inside the update.zip folder)

and

dload/update.zip

Sorry it went through the motions of an update, but I am still on 313!
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
Here is instruction from 4pda for B320EU

1. Flash TWRP

2. Enable local update (flash HwOUC.zip in TWRP)

3. Return stock recovery B313EU

4. flash update.zip throught enabled local update

5. Undo local update (flash HwOUC_stok.zip)
[Honor 7 General] ElyanoSantos:
I haven't root my phone why rooting phone with TWRP for installing B320 Official .

Are u sure installing official update with rooting phone ??
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
Show me anything in my instruction about root?
[Honor 7 General] magnea:
can t.e.x Titanium backup save data on ext sdcard ,

have problem whith that in B313
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
every update i have flashed in the past, was successful flashed from the int.sd/dload folder! SO i think, let’ts try it this time from the dload folder too!

and it is a update.zip again! no app! try force update if the code doesn’t fit! (press power+volume +/- same time for min. 4 sec.!)

this should start update

Attention: The phone has to be absolutely unrooted before updating it!!!

please translate!
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Thanks a lot ,now in B320

only one thing i cant find the right cmd to flash point 5 with fastboot.......or maybe there is an other method :confused:
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
I think You can skip this step. Seems that hwouc also patched with B320
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
OK Thanks

in case i think i can :

-flash twrp

-flash hwouc stok with twrp

-flash stock recovery
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
Yep. But think about next patch =) save time ;)
[Honor 7 General] ElyanoSantos:
I think it's not going to work that way. ??
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
I tried , it doesn't work
[Honor 7 General] ElyanoSantos:
You say flash TWRP from the first step , but to have a custom recovery must necessarily root the phone !!
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
RTFM! you're wrong. For TWRP you need to unlock bootloader. That's all
[Honor 7 General] ElyanoSantos:
Oh sorry on my phone I just need root the phone to install TWRP .

Honor it's strange.
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
It's the same procedure for all phones. HTC - unlock, flash. Nexus - unlock,flash. Your phone is strange =)
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
My H7 is runing B320 now , spasiba !

I confirm the phone is NOT rooted,only bootloader unlocked

i come fron B313 béta
[Honor 7 General] ElyanoSantos:
No need on samsung phone just flash file with odin to root and install custom recovery
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
You can't install B320 to your Samsung, sorry. Even with odin
[Honor 7 General] ElyanoSantos:
I have never spoken to install on a samsung phone B320 you have not all understood what I was told you !!

I'm just talking about the method to install TWRP on Samsung mobile because the samsung there are no bootloader to UNLOCK !!!
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
Man, we are in huawei topic, relax :)
[Honor 7 General] stevevalo:
Back on track.

So this only works using TWRP, so why are the DE forums etc suggesting this can be updated from SD card and doing a restart?
[Honor 7 General] Mostar088:
I Think that you only can do it if you re a Beta Tester?
[Honor 7 General] Muhammad Rihawi:
Thank you a lot, it's work like charm :)

But i didn't back to HwOUC_stock, do you think i will have any problem?
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
No just have a look to #209 to 212
[Honor 7 General] daffyno:
unlocking bootloader i will lost all my data?
[Honor 7 General] ElyanoSantos:
No man ?
[Honor 7 General] Muhammad Rihawi:
OK, I will keep local update activate for next update ;)

Also I'm still facing whatsapp notification problem, notification working well then after around two hour i will not receive notification, I need to restart my phone to continue receive notification of whatsapp.... anybody have solution?
[Honor 7 General] foyan:
I tried to update, but don't know why, I can't install TWRP.

I flashed it using fastboot, but when I restart holding vol+, I have Emui recovery, not TWRP.

I used this TWRP : http://xdaforums.com/honor-7/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-hwplk-plk-l01-t3290306

Has anybody saw that before ?
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Install TWRP using HONOR MULTI-TOOL (choice 4)

then reboot recovery with fastboot

that's what i did
[Honor 7 General] magnea:
Have tried MM B313 and B320 for a period but gone back to the B140,

because I have problems such titanim backup can not write to the extsd card

when doing backups there are other apps that I have the same trouble,

so i stay away from the MM to the problem is resolved
[Honor 7 General] foyan:
And that worked :good:

Thanks.
[Honor 7 General] caser2010:
I just installed mulititool. But which command is it exeactly i should use?. It keep telling me that it cant see my phone. I dl the zip file and put it in the dfolder on the internal memory :/
[Honor 7 General] peshkoff:
How you did rollback from B320? Using rollback from 1 post?
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
MultiTool must be installed on your PC !
[Honor 7 General] caser2010:
Yes, i have installed on my pc. Should the phone be in fastboot mode when i use multitool? And do i need to unlock before i can use the twrp recovery mode?
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
No,you don't need to be in fastboot mode

Yes your bootloader must be unlocked

Also you must install drivers (you can to it installing HiSuite) and adb/fastboot
[Honor 7 General] ashkan_mc:
I am wondering, why there is no official MM while 3 months ago its BETA came out ??? :eek:
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
the definitiv MM 6.0 is expected end of March

B313 and now B320 are for béta-testers (or curious persons) ;)
[Honor 7 General] Japle:
Just a heads up to anybody who might be doing the same mistake while installing B320 with the method described earlier. Don't just rename "HwOUC.zip" to "update.zip", but extract and find the already named update.zip inside it. This way you won't get the "Software Installation Failed" -message (due to signature verification failure, of course).

I know this is basic stuff, but just a reminder!
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
''I know this is basic stuff, but just a reminder!'' ok but : why did you renamed the file ? Nobody,nowhere asked to do that.....
[Honor 7 General] caser2010:
Okay, know i am getting frustratet :/. How do i turn on the debug mode. When i tap the build number, there is no new developer menu. Only showing differient pictures off the android man / logo
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Sorry i realy don't know

Normaly taping 7 times on build number enable dev menu, i have never seen this ''android man" doing that on any phone
[Honor 7 General] caser2010:
My fault, i found it. But the next problem is this? I keep getting, cant find the file(see picture)

http://postimg.org/image/8an2vlrj5/
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Never seen this screen..........

Just enable débogage usb in dev options

Connect the phone to pc in ''normal'' mode

Open multi-tools

When the screen becomes green choose ''3'' for Honor 7 and so on..........
[Honor 7 General] caser2010:
Damn now i am stuck. I am getting bootloop. I can acces twrp. But i dont knowwhat to do now. Can someone help. Have searched the forum, but i dont know where to start :crying::(

Sholud i factory reset, wipe or?. dont know to get back on track :(
[Honor 7 General] caser2010:
Yes, finally back on the stock 100V. What is the safest and best way to upgrade to 320?
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
The method you tried is the only one as far as i know

it works for me and other people

I suggest you stop playing with your phone 'till you realy know what you do ,you can brick your phone
[Honor 7 General] caser2010:
Yes i thougt i could remeber alle the stuff(have rooted samsung sgsII) but it is many years ago.

UPDATE:

After i managed to get back to the stock 100, dl the 100 software, i used this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64592849&postcount=9.

I could again boot, and decided to update from 100-121, so i dl the update and manual updated the phone, under update in the phones software.

Now i cant even turn it on. No light turning on, nothing happen. The onkly way i can get the phone to vibrate for at short moment, is when i hold volume - and power down. But it only vibrate for a short periode, and nothing other happens. Black screen :(

Any suggetions?

[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
Congratulations!:D You have just now transformed one of the best phones into a paperweight!

I hope you will be able to fix them! But i am sure, if you are successful now, you never stop your experiments.:p
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
You can't.This is for Eu only

B320 is an update of B313

B313 can ony be instaled from B121 or B140

Dont know what is B120 ....
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
C185B120 is coming from Pakistan not EU!! So don’t update crossover! Otherwise you maybe jump into a bootloop!
[Honor 7 General] dContra:
Same thing happened to me, you can't have phone rooted when updating it kills the phone i sent mine to warranty and they sent me a new one,they did not find what caused the problem,but i know it was because off rooting if they suspect you had rooted phone then you will have to pay new phone so better don't tell them, good luck.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
i don’t like stories like this, but...

i have rooted my phone since a view weeks. Yesterday i have notified that my GPS signal was not available! Nothing has helped to solve the problem. I have tried a view tools and make a factory reset too. Nothing!

After a rollback to B300 followed with update B121 full and than followed with update B170 my GPS is back! Yeah!

Don’t know why. My phone is not rooted now and i will not root it again. No TWRP; no root but all problems where gone.

That is the most important thing for me.
[Honor 7 General] PaulFe:
Same here, but after the "update" i found in Hidden Project Menu ( the *# number)

AP Version: PLK-L01C432B313_SYSTEM

Kernel Version: PLK-L01C432B320_BOOT

Have i only updatet kernel?

Gesendet von meinem PLK-L01 mit Tapatalk
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Hi, i updated mine with the Russian method (twrp)

just verified withe the #number

the Kernel AND the AP version are both B320

probably you just updated the kernel
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
please, help me clarify some things

Hello everybody,

I am a fresh (almost 2 weeks) owner of this piece of beauty that is Honor 7. That's the good thing. The "bad" thing is that I'm a newbie in Android systems. After many years of iOS, I took a leap of faith and switched to Android :o So... don't throw with rocks.

I've read the this entire thread... and a few more, but there are things that make me confused :confused:

1. I own a PLK-L01, my current version is something ending in B120 , and my Updater says "No updates". But I saw that there are users that are on different (higher) versions, through OTA updates. Why is that?! Huawei doesn't push the last official update to all the users?? It depends on the country/region?

2.1. I want to update to the B140/B170 version following this [Guide For Beginners] - How To Update, Root, Tweak, and Fix Honor 7. I obtained the unlocking code, the procedure seams pretty ease (I used to jb every version of iOS that I was on). The question, to which I didn't find a clear answer, is: will I still receive any OTA updates after I unlock and update the OS?

2.2. If after updating, I root the phone, will I still receive any OTA updates?

2.3. After rooting the phone, applying any update makes me loose the root privileges? (did I understood that right?)

I intend to root the phone because I want to install an app as a system app, and, from what I read, that's the only way to do it. If there is any other way, please let me know!

ps: ...and thank all of you, for putting so much info here!
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Hi,

-B120 is not an EU version

-from B120 you can't update to 140/170

-If you root your phone you wont receive OTA updates

-To update your phone after rooting you must go back to full stock (unroot,stock recovery,stock firmware) with high risk of bootloop,fail.....

i rooted mine,now back to stock,just unlocked bootloader and it's fine

the H7 is not the good phone for root,custom rom,etc.....
[Honor 7 General] nawaz41:
Please help me, my model number is PLK-L01C185B120 , how should i update? first b121? or what? i so confused, thank you.
[Honor 7 General] cyberfly:
pls read the post b4 yours...

Gesendet von meinem PLK-L01 mit Tapatalk
[Honor 7 General] nawaz41:
Ok thank you, but Whats the solution For this? Should i go back to stock rom? and how should i? or what? Please help me with this I really Want to update my honor 7 to Android M please!
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
How come? :confused: The phone is the EU version (PLK-L01), bought from EU. Shouldn't that be the EU version of the software?

But to what? To the B121 first, and afterwards Bxxx (higher)?

But after just unlocking and updating, will I still receive OTA updates?

In this case, the safest approach seams to be to wait until there will be no more updates for Honor7, and only after to root it :(
[Honor 7 General] Muhammad Rihawi:
Just make factory reset then it will be OK.
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
-Someone said that B120 is an Asian firmware (Pakistan) you CAN NOT upgrade it to B121 ,i don't know more,pls make a SPECIFIC search for B120

- Yes with an unlocked and updated phone you will receive ota

-that's exactly my mind !:) I'll root again when huawei will stop upgrades
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
[MENTION=5992462]samcro94[/MENTION]: Thank you for your replies! :)

I'm still confused about why I am stuck at B120 version and my Updater says "No updates" :(
[Honor 7 General] Lucki_X:
Why do you think that you need update? Do you have any problems with the system? I'm stacked at old firmware too, rooted and I'm satisfied. New one is not always the best one.

Sent from PLK-TL01H
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
Because usually these updates solve some bugs and/or security vulnerabilities... And I intend to root the phone (for installing an app as a system app)... and performing any updates after rooting seams to be risky.
[Honor 7 General] hotshot646:
It doesn't seem to be risky... It is risky.

If you want to get OTA's, download the B140 update and put it in the dload folder the try to run the updater app (making sure you aren't rooted) and you should get the latest B170.

Now if you get to B170 it might be worth it to wait for MM before rooting since it should be released soon.

Edit : download the B130 update first!!!!
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
Let me see if I got that right: the order of operations should be

- download and install B130

- download and install B140

- then it will update itself OTA to B170.

Right?

Two questions here:

1. I am on B120. samcro94 said that this CAN NOT be upgraded to B121. But it can be upgraded to B130??

2. For Installing those updates do I need to unlock the phone first, right? (I've got the unlocking code)
[Honor 7 General] hotshot646:
The order is perfect. That's what I did and that's how I naturally got the B170 OTA. Since my bootloader was already unlocked I'm not sure but since you want to root later on you might as well unlock it now. Or you can try with it locked. (you shouldn't be able to cause any damage but check before)
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
[MENTION=893316]hotshot646[/MENTION]: You were on B120 and it worked upgrading to B130??

LE: since I have the option to upgrade from "Local update", I guess that it will work to upgrade without unlocking the phone... At least that's what my logic says :))
[Honor 7 General] hotshot646:
When I bought the phone I was on B140 and before Unlocking and rooting I got the B170 OTA.

At the time there wasn't a B170 compatible TWRP I ran into countless bootloops and had to go back to B100 and do each update one by one.

When I got back to B140 I check and I once again had the B170 OTA. Then I properly rooted and as of now waiting for MM.

Yes normally it should work by local update without unlocking the bootloader but like I said to root you need to be unlocked
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
[MENTION=893316]hotshot646[/MENTION] That's not the case here :( I'm on B120 and I'm not sure if it can be updated and to which version.

samcro94 says that, as far as he knows, it can not be upgraded to B121, B140/B170.

I don't know even where should I find this information...
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Type ''B120'' in the forum search (first page here)

you will find informations in # 4 and 6 (malaysia and russia)
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
I will read those topics... but it seamed more logical to find those info somewhere on an official site of the manufacturer. At least that's what I thought...
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Don't forget : you bought an honor...............:o

[Honor 7 General] magnea:
do we have to unroot via supersu or other ways to get MM ota
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
for OTA you must be

-Unrooted

-Stock recovery

-Untouched firmware

if not : fail,bootloop or brick of your phone.
[Honor 7 General] HmMarques:
To those like me that updated to B170 (unofficial) I updated from links on this thread, will we receive OTA? Or do we have to install manually later? Thanks..

Enviado do meu PLK-L01 através de Tapatalk
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
Well... I searched and didn't find anything about Russia... but I've read the entire 23pages thread [PLK-L01] Honor 7 OTA Update b140 and saw that there were users from Malaysia that managed to update from B120 by 1st fastboot flash B121 EU version then update to B130 & B140 using manually (dload method).

Btw... I didn't manage to get it: at this moment, for the PLK-L01 which is the latest official software version pushed by Huawei through OTA updates??
[Honor 7 General] magnea:
can i stay with b320 if i unroot and flash orginal recovery and boot. img. i have deleted sam system apps. or do i have to downgrade to b140
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
I'll stay in B320,i don't care about OTA 'cause i think i wil update an other way maybe before the ota

For sure you can downgrade but it's aloways a little bit risky

[MENTION=7280342]BogV[/MENTION]

latest is B170,but if you'r waiting for the MM ota better stay in B140
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
[MENTION=5992462]samcro94[/MENTION]: Both B140 and B170 were push through OTA updates as official updates, yes?

I'm still on B120 :mad: ...and not sure if I should take the risk of updating...

ps: I want to be sure about that (official updates push by OTA updates) because I'm about to talk with the supplier of my phone about why I got the device with malaysian version of the software... the device being the European model, bought from an European firm. And I wanna be sure of my arguments.
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
Yes both were pushed by OTA .....for France , italia and maybe others countries,i don't know for Romania

Huawei models,firmwares,updates is a terible mess !
[Honor 7 General] BogV:
Yes, indeed! Terrible mess! :mad: I would have never thought that something like that is possible.

Thank you for your help!
[Honor 7 General] SedyBenoitPeace:
Please don't tell about firmware mess..also i'm on a b120 but my market code is C900 and neither Honor can answer to me to tell me what OS Image i can use in case i want to restore the system...i still don't know if i will receive MM
[Honor 7 General] stevevalo:
I'm on B313, will I get OTA MM?
[Honor 7 General] hotshot646:
EU version of Honor 7 and just received the B180 OTA.

I didn't install since I'm rooted but does anyone know what it is? No mention of MM anywhere in the description.
[Honor 7 General] Vihru:
What firmware you have before that?
[Honor 7 General] hotshot646:
First got the phone with B140 and the same day I bought it I got the B170 OTA and now this.
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
B180 is just an update from B170 it is LP
[Honor 7 General] giuseppealbione:
Update from b140 to b121

Good morning, I have the B140 version and I had updated it manually. I want to return to the original firmware of my H7, the b121 in official honor website, to update ota to b170. Is it possible?
[Honor 7 General] hotshot646:
Yeah that's what I thought ..

BTW if I wanted to return to stock non rooted would I only need to flash recovery and system( with the HUAWEI extractor tool) from the B170 update or would I need to reflash a lower firmware?

PS: I might have done a backup with TWRP before root, would I be able to restore that update and if I don't have root it I would just need to reflash the stock recovery to get back to stock?
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
PS: I might have done a backup with TWRP before root, would I be able to restore that update and if I don't have root it I would just need to reflash the stock recovery to get back to stock?

Yes i think that's the best way ! just be sure you flash the good stock recovery according to your firmware.MultiTool can help you
[Honor 7 General] hotshot646:
Great will give it a shot when I get back from fishing :D
[Honor 7 General] samcro94:
If your phone is not rooted and stock recovery you should receive ota even if you updated manually

B180 (minor update from B170) is out today

Why don'you simply wait for Final MM 6.0 before end of this month ?
[Honor 7 General] giuseppealbione:
Yes, I thought the same but I'm scared that MM will not arrive ota. Do you think that I've to attend mashmallows? Eventually, will I update to MM manually when this will be released?
[Honor 7 General] Sideness:
Just got B180 update ! I made a new thread in Honor 7 General forum.

It's weird, because MM is supposed to be deployed in 2 weeks.

if i dont receive it i will update myself from somewhere around here
