[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaomPT:
Hey!

Thank you alot for your reply.

From the link you sent about the firmwares, there are alot of Builds for the L01 (EU) model. Can I simply use the latest from the list or I gotta install 1 by 1 (from older to newer)?

Also, the bootloader unlock thing, is it ok if I wait to do it until I install the stock ROM again? Because I think I don't have the code anymore (Also don't know about IMEI)

Other thing, yesterday before bricking my phone, I tried to re-unlock the bootloader as you said above, but it didnt let me because "it was already unlocked".

I really have no idea if it's 100% unlocked or not.

important thing!

With those ROM's, I still have the right to receive official OTA updates from the HiCare app right?

Thank you again :D
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muradulislam:
Just use B380 as it's the latest full firmware available there.

Unlocking bootloader again was just a precautionary measure (proceed without it and if it is not 100% unlocked and if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot later, which imo, won't happen)

And yep, if you keep the firmware as it is, but if you flash twrp and root, you will still see the update available in Hicare but will have to install stock recovery again before upgrading. (Nothing else is needed as SuperSU 2.62 gives a systemless root so you only need to flash back stock recovery for an update)

I am not against honor-tool bit it's best to do things manually as it makes you learn stuff and is easy to troubleshoot if something is amiss.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaomPT:
Alright, btw, about the thing you said

"Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again)."

I gotta do that myself with an "update.app" file or what?

Sorry, I missed that part :p

Cheers!
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muradulislam:
You have to make a dload folder in SD card and copy UPDATE.APP to that folder.

Then just turn off the phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots.

Let go of power but keep others two pressed for 5, 6 sec more. Your phone will boot into recovery and start installing UPDATE.APP

It likes to get stuck at 5% (most reports) but sometimes, somewhere else. If its stuck for 15 minutes on a particular percentage, just press and hold the above three buttons again using the same process.

Multiple tries make it work...:)
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaomPT:
Hey man!

Good news, my phone is alive and root is done.

The problem was on the SuperSU that I flashed, it was version 2.71, instead of the one you said » version 2.62 «

I cant thank you enough!! Can I pay you a coffee? :D

Thank you!
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muradulislam:
That's great... Enjoy your phone and as for coffee, well, let's say, you owe me one and we will leave it at that :p

Better yet, you can search DigiGoon and pay him for the coffee, he taught me what I told you.

You can find him somewhere in this thread

Hello :)

How did you format your phone?

I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaomPT:
Hello.

Do you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery? You can format your phone from TWRP recovery.

I think the only option for you is to get the old ROM img and flash it (starting from 0)

You can dirty-flash (Flash a different ROM with same android version as yours, e.g: flashing custom android 5 ROM over your stock android 5 ROM without factory resetting your phone) but I dont think you can do that from Android 6 to 5.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgergo:
Yes I have unlocked bootloader and currently not twrp but I can flash it at any time.

The last two paragraphs you wrote are different solutions or the last one is a more detailed explanation of the previous?

I have android 6 so the later method won't work as you said.

But formatting it and flashing a stock android 5 rom - is it that simple? Nobody here suggested this before, however I have been asking for months. :)

All the phones are empty when they leave the assembly line. :)

How did you flash the new rom to your formatted phone? Extracted update.app and flashed each file with fastboot? Any issues you faced?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaomPT:
From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.

My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.

-----

What you'll need to do is:

- Flash TWRP

- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)

- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)

- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)

- Shutdown your device

- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.

- Reboot

- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)

- If it works, it will auto install

(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation

- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)

NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)

>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)

Im answering based on what I did and was explained here to me :)
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgergo:
I'll try... But seems too simple to be true... :)
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgergo:
Hi again,

I'm doing this OS installation now. It starts fine but stucks at 90%, (I'm trying to install the latest stock ROM which can be downloaded from Huawei site, B220 or221). Did you have the same issue? I waited more than half an hour at 90% but did not go on. :(
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HonorCasper:
Maybe formatting, Flash stock Android 5 recovery using Honor multitool , and then Flash a Android 5 firmware:)

Not sure it Will Work without rollback..
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuaru:
Is this really work? i cant rollback to any version.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgergo:
Yes it does. (It did for me.) Technically this is not a rollback but installing a brand new system on an empty phone. That's why it is important to do a backup upfront.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuaru:
Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try this method. I can't reflash any region rom.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meshoo00oo:
Do you mean by wipe and format everything is to go to twrp - wipe - advanced wipe - and sign in all (delvak, cash, data, internal storage, system)?? Or something else?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgergo:
Yes, I mean that. First I did not format just wiped and could not install the new ROM. You have to format too.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meshoo00oo:
OK, but after signing on system and format it from twrp, I will be able to inter on fastboot again?!! ??
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgergo:
Yes, you will be. Fastboot partition won't be affected.

SuperSU causing my Honor 7 not to boot?

Hi! Great news that you got it working. I did the same to my H7 as you did to yours. I restored System using TWRP and got it back working, so no problem with the phone at the end. However, I just cannot seem to root my device by installing SuperSU! I have tried all the following files without success:

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip

I use TWRP v3.0.2 (dl twrp me / plank).

Any ideas why my device hangs/freezes on boot after installing SuperSU? Is it because I don't use SuperSU version 2.62? Where can I dl v2.62?

My phone details:

Model: Honor 7 PLK-L01

Build: PLK-L01C432B380

UI: EMUI 4.0.1

Android version: 6.0

Custom: CUSTC432D001

Would be great to get some help from you experienced guys! Thanks!
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muradulislam:
Just google SuperSU 2.62 and download it... Have done it countless times.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fjorstut:
To be honest, I have already tried that. So, I guess I forgot to mention in my post that my question was regarding which version 2.62. I mean 2.62, or 2.62-2 or 2.62-3?

It would also be good to hear if anyone knows the difference between the versions. E.g. why only 2.62-x works with Honor 7?

Edit: So I took a chance, installed v. 2.62-3, and it worked :) However, I still have no clue about why only this version works. Then, a follow-up question. Google Play now suggest to update SuperSU v2.62 to the newest version, which is 2.78. I am afraid if I do this my phone will not boot again.

Anyone knows if it is safe to update to v2.78 through Google Play?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muradulislam:
If I remember correctly, all 2.62 work with honor 7.

As for why that version works, don't have a clue. May be someone else can elaborate.

You can update it to 2.78 through play store.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2002hon:
Hello,

I encountered the same problem and followed the help steps. However, when the update process stopped, I (stupidly) forcibly restarted it by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds, now whenever I try to do the update proccess i get a message saying "System Install Failed". Please help:silly:.

Btw I have no way of connecting to adb and have the stock recovery but previously had TWRP and backed up the (bricked) system

Thank you!
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fjorstut:
2002hon, have you tried rebooting in TWRP again? From there you can Restore your old backup. It should be sufficient to back up only System. At least it was sufficient for me.

Booting to TWRP on Honor 7: From shutdown status, hold both volume up and power button until you hear and feel the vibration, then release power button, but keep holding volume up button until you get into TWRP menu, then release volume up button.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

yes, yes. I have done that and restored.

However the problem with the backup it is that I did it after installing supersu 2.71 so it is still bricked.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathenzar:
Hello all. I have been at this for a few weeks trying to get it figured out on my own before I posted here, but I am a little lost now. I've been following guides by Chainfire & jrkruse and I (after many attempts and researching threads on here) successfully rooted & unlocked my bootloader (thanks goes out to them, as well as phhussen and everyone else on this forum who has posted results on getting this type of stuff done, I could not have done it without you). Now I'm trying to get safteynet to pass (so I can play pokemon go with root) - this is where I am getting stuck.

I'm trying to use a suhide solution, but I could never get the phone to pass safetynet after I unrooted (so naturally, suhide isn't going to do me much good based off of the instructions, I was just trying it as a last resort to see if I could get it to work anyway with it installed). I think I need a stock rom, but I want to keep my recovery (so that way I can easily flash a rooted rom of MM or any other changes like suhide in there). Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find any solution other than reformatting the device and flashing a stock image posted by jrkruse of lollipop (then upgrade to marshmellow via Verizon Desktop Agent). Is there no way to just flash a stock version of the OS, but keep the recovery / bootloader unlocked?

TL;DR: I am trying to get a close to stock OS installed (without root) and get safetynet passing. Then I will attempt to follow the suhide tutorial. I want to keep my bootloader unlocked and to keep my recovery. Is this possible to do? I have TWRP (latest version) installed on my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900V.

Yeah just flash in odin all partitions except recovery and sbl aboot and rpm download the firmware you want to be on then use 7 zip file manager and extract tar file and add to and choose all other partitions and make it a tar file and Flash it in Odin
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathenzar:
So I understand what odin is and extracting selective files by using 7zip, but I'm still not quite sure where I would get the stock image of everything. I can't seem to find an unmodified version of the entire MM image. I can only find the lollipop one from jrkruse.

Does it matter that I am PBF4? I'm assuming PD1 is lollipop firmware? I'm looking for Marshmellow. I could flash in Odin the lollipop stock everything right now. But then since I couldn't find a stock marshmellow image (at the moment), I would be stuck on lollipop.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathenzar:
I downloaded the PF4 version from sammobile.com (that is the current version I have on my phone now). Thanks for the link for that site. The way I am understanding you is just to take that compressed file, extract all but aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, and sbl1.mbn, and then take those extracted files and create a .tar file; then flash with Odin - is this correct?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hauckk@sfreserves.org:
Yes that is true
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathenzar:
When I did that nothing changed (although odin said it flashed everything successfully in the logs, but all my apps and SuperSU remained). I wiped my system next time and flashed everything and this time TWRP came up and said that it could not stop the stock ROM from deleting TWRP. I thought I was in the clear, but so far the first attempt has left the phone on the Verizon checkmark screen. I restored my old image and am trying one more time. I'm not sure if it is supposed to take long? I flashed a .tar with the following in it:

- boot.img

- cache.img.ext4

- modem.bin

- NON-HLOS.bin

- sdi.mbn

- system.img.ext4

- tz.mbn

Before I flashed this .tar, I wiped the System, ARK=dalvik/cache, internal storage, and cache if that helps any.
