Software install failed!

Incompatibility with current version
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
Help Me !!!!

I have done everything until the dload method thing i have put update.app inside dload foder and put it inside my 32gb microsd (fat32) but when i press power + vol up + vol down it showed software installed failed.

I can only boot to fastboot

No Recovery and that's all :crying:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Don't quote full OP, please

Tried to flash recovery via fastboot mode? Dload method never worked for me too
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
Finally booted

Finally booted to the system after few times trying to access stock recovery and reset but some systems apps like themes not working at all. I have tried many update.zips and using dload method to reflash but it always stuck at 5℅ and give software update failed message.

Note : I have relocked my bootloader after successful boot but know i'm stuck with some non functioning system apps:crying:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
You could try unlocking your bootloader again and do a clean install of your firmware, it should fix things... That happens when something important is missing on your firmware. What version are you running?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I have done exactly below steps few times but still, i'm stuck with some non-functioning system files.

Unlock Bootloader,

Flash twrp

format & wipe partitions

flash stock recovery, boot and system using fastboot

doing dload (Only early version (B360) worked fine latest version (B384) gives an error "Update Failed")

My Current firmware version as below

Model - BLL - L22

Build Number - BLL - L22C636B384 (Eventhough i have used dload method several times with B360 still show as B384 :crying: )
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
So you tried to do dload with B360 while you was on B384, because B384 by dload won't work, right? I think that if yes, this could be one possible cause of the problem. You did that because apps wasn't already working, or problems are started after that? Because using dload with earlier versions of your build can mess up things by what I know, maybe because there are version of files that doesn't match with files on your actual build that are overwrote... You don't have TWRP backups to restore? And... Why won't you try to rebrand it to another variant?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I didn't have twrp backup and I don't want to rebrand it. I just want to get back to stock with fully functioning stock ROM that's the only thing I want. Is there anything I can do to get back to stock ROM without any issue ?? I just noticed all the default media files comes with this device also doesn't appear to be there :crying::crying::crying:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Flash the small update.zip file (data file of few ? MBs) via TWRP. Need help? I can guide further
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
Can you please guide me. I'm hopeless at the moment and i desperately want to get back to stock rom . Which file should i need to download ???
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Here you can find the BLL-L22C636B384 update package http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1756/g1755/v98545/f1/full/update.zip inside it you'll find 3 update zips; update.zip - the biggest one around 1,70GB, then update_full_BLL-L22_hw_xx, around 700MB usually and last, the smaller one which [MENTION=6714681]shashank1320[/MENTION] was referring to, i mean update_data_full_public (shashank, didn't knew that this data zip could be flashed even by TWRP! If possible, that's a great thing)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Let me check the version and will confirm if this can be flashed via TWRP
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
It's listed as fullOTA-PV
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Yup that's the one. He can flash the small file via TWRP
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I'm finally able to get most of the pre-installed apps installed even though twrp gives an error but if I do a reset then it won't stick. I have tried to relock my bootloader and all those apps have gone once again.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Which file you flashed, the 700 MB? If not, flash that
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I have flashed both files one file contain all the default apps, media files and other file contains FM Radio libs and apk. The zip that contains fm radio flashed smoothly but other one gives twrp error.

And other thing is Online theme store not working only local files are working fine :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
I knew this. Now follow as per below, nothing additional.

Flash the same small zip file which successful in twrp again via TWRP.

Boot to system.

Now use the dload method for the main zip file of 1+GB.

Dload method is given in my signature follow that, skip initial steps of downloading and just start from unzip to sd card n so on.

Note- this will relock bootloader and replace stock recovery. You will be full stock and fully functional.

Enjoy.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
Shouldn't I need to reflash stock recovery before using dload method???
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
No. Just proceed. Trust me
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
384 firmware always failed to dload and only 370 works for me. I have downloaded 384 several times but same result :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Flash 370 then. Purpose was to update or go back to stock?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I just only want to go back to stock :D

After doing exactly same procedure you have mentioned. I'm in exactly where I was previously

No FM Radio App

Broken theme apps and no magazine unlock and missing some pre-installed apps

Now i'm in bootloader locked :crying:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Give me time till tomorrow and i will guide you. Yoy may need to do factory reset once. Sorry about that.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I'm really appreciating you for spending your valuable time to help me :cowboy:

I have tried different times with messing using 384 and 370 but even if I extract boot, recovery and System files from 370 and manually flash the about screen always shows as 384. I don't know why :confused: I have wiped everything before (Except sdcard) flashing via fastboot nothing works. :( and dload method only works for 370.

I'm just thinking to flash custom rom and trying dload method again to get back to stock and see whether it's working without these stupid missing system files issue. :silly:

Edit : Did a dload (Using 370) again after wiping every partition except Microsd in TWRP but it didn't worked as well. I think that UPDATE.app inside the update.zip lack necessary files to install those apps via dload. My biggest question is eventhough i have flashed 370 using dload , the about screen always showed as 384 :confused:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Because the small file you flashed was for B384 so it is showing B384. Does your phone having any issue or working fine and just the version/build number is mismatch. I thought, based on your earlier message that B384 link was given and you wanted to update. If you phone is having issue let me know, I will help further but if it is just the version mismatch, you can safely ignore as cause is known :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
Nope, If it's only version mismatch then I will totally ignore it but the problem is No FM radio and non functioning theme store and missing default features like magazine unlock :( Can you help me to get out from this state ??:crying:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Ok. I just checked few pages to understand your issue.

Flash these 3 in order via dload.

1- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1756/g1755/v98545/f1/full/update.zip

2- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...hw_spcseas/update_full_BLL-L22_hw_spcseas.zip

3-

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...45/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

This will update to B384 with all working. Hope you dont have issues with data quota. If you have then try this file first, file for data for B384 (this below link and above link 2 is same so that you dont download it twice)

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...hw_spcseas/update_full_BLL-L22_hw_spcseas.zip

Flash this via TWRP first, if not worked then try via dload.

and Thank you and many others who flash my given links without asking too many questions or doubting if it can brick their phone or incorrect files etc, it shows the trust you guys have on me now :)

Good luck. Hope this will solve the issues and bring back the fully functional stock.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I have already download this file twice and already flashed via TWRP but the problem is after dload or factory reset it won't stick like it should be. I flashed those files two files previously and get the FM radio and all those stuff but if I try to relock my bootloader back and in that process, the factory reset removed those files from the system. Can you give me a bit more information about flashing those above two zips using dload since as I know only update.zip can be flash after extracting.:confused:

I have already hit my data quota anyway I'll download update.zip again and try to flash it using dload . ( Hope this file work since 384 always giving me error in dload)

Thanks in advance :good::highfive:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Ok dont download then.

All the zips which have update.app file in it can be flashed via dload. Other zip can be flashed via TWRP.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I just saw that "update_full_BLL-L22_hw_spcseas.zip" contains update.app but as i expected it's failed to flash via dload after giving update failed message. :( I'll try to download above zip file from 370 and try to flash it via dload. :highfive:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Files i given were b384 and not b370
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
Yeah i know i mean the name of the zip file ;)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshchamara:
I'm finally able get back to 370 after flashing that zip file (But no fm radio and some system apks :( ) I'll try to update through firmaware finder and let you know the progress anyway thanks for helping me :highfive:

Edit : Stock updater not showing any updates and firmware finder report as a internet issue eventhough i can access websites using chrome normally without any issue :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] al4877:
so i did this procedure exactly but now i have NRD90M test keys as build number and i dont know what to do. i have 2 files on my pc that i downloaded one is

.update.zip wich is 1.5GB

update_full_BLN-L24_hw_usa.zip wich is 602MB

im willing to reflash TWRP and do this procedure again but can somebody tell me wich one of these 2 zips i need to get the files from?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
You can not get rid of nrd test keys unless you flash the oeminfo of this model.

Flash oeminfo file and then use the 2nd file of 600 mb vua dload or twrp ( twrp preferably)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] al4877:
ok when you say flash the oeminfo are you refering to the oeminfo file thats inside the update.app in the 600mb zip?

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

can i just flash the oemfile using fastboot flash oem comand?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Nope. You need to use the multi tool. Check the one given in debranding guide in my signature. Just follow the restore oeminfo part. And then flash the 600 mb file via twrp.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] al4877:
i have everything ready but now my problem is that when i connect the phone to usb and pc and try to use adb the phone allways displays as " unauthorized" i have tried removing and reinstalling drivers and adb and nothing works the phones does not ask for adb authorization no matter what . is there anything else i can do?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] al4877:
allright so i think i just lost my honor 6x for good ive managed to get adb working on another computer then ii restore oeminfo with the multi tool ( i think it relocked the bootloader) then i tried flashing the update.app using dload method. NOPE it did not work. now i have stock recovery,no OS (corrupted data) and i have PHONE and FRP showing as " locked" in the bootloader . im triyng to unlocked using fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXX code but its showing " command not allowed"

so im pretty much screwed at this point. should i just trow the phone out the windows and buy another one?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] lordmorphous:
I ended up in the same boat after a bad oeminfo flash. I never got anything to work and had to call customer service. They had me send it in, so far at no charge. I don't know if they'll want to bill me when they fix it or not, but the question of bootloader unlocking, rooting, or flashing never came up.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnyrichter:
Software install failed on step 11 on US BLN-L24. I've been trying all night to fix this phone after trying to install LineageOS(and failing because it kept sitting at animated boot logo). Severely disappointed after buying this phone and now I can't seem to even get it back to stock.

Any ideas?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] galapagos:
With bln-l24, one method that always worked for me when the phone appears to be stuck is to use the official huawei rollback package and the marshmallow firmware on the huawei website. Then you can upgrade to the latest after that
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnyrichter:
It eventually booted to emui and I was able to flash twrp and lineagos/gapps/supersu and it appears to be working now. Not sure what the issue was.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Data partition was the issue..it was f2fs. As soon as you change to ext4 it worked
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnyrichter:
Even when trying to go back to stock?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
For stock, you need to change to f2fs
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BackToAndroid:
I used HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract update.app file, however, I couldn't find system.img and vendot.img file in that. What am I doing wrong here? [IMG="extractor output"]https://imgur.com/4DrXQMn[/IMG]

edit screenshot : https://imgur.com/4DrXQMn

The issue was with the update I download after couple of attempts I got it.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] fc3211:
Go to settings > about phone > and the 3rd line should be Build number and that is what you are looking for

mine is BLN-L24C567B630

AFTER YOU FIND IT THAN ON THE WEBSITE SEARCH BOX paste the part before B630

BLN-L24C567 (in my case) and click search
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BackToAndroid:
Thanks man! I was able to get my build number from one of my old post on another forum
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] unseen:
In the list from extractor, there is only recovery.img, no vendor or system. What am I doing wrong?

Does this method work for EMUI4?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowcliffs:
My Honor 6x comes with 360, later on updated to 365 and 366, and then custom rom. If I want to go back, which stock recovery I should flash, from 360, 365 or 366?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
If you're on 366, then 366 is what you want. Even 360 should work, but with 366 you're 100% safe
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnyrichter:
Tried this method after being on LineageOS for a week or two and having poor LTE signal, no MMS, and voicemail issues so I'm trying to go back to stock so I can have a fully functional phone since I rely on it heavily for work. Followed all steps using BLN-L24 B360 firmware. On step 10 I rebooted to update and it went right to "5% Installing Update" and stuck there for 5 mins, then rebooted itself, has been sitting at "honor" boot screen for 14 minutes so I made it reboot to EMUI recovery, wiped/factory reset, rebooted, loaded EMUI afte 2 more minutes. Appears to have worked and hopefully my issues are fixed!

Edit: Signal, mms, and voicemail issues fixed.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Yes thats the way to do it. If it gets stuck honor logo, best way is to biot to recovery and do factory reset and it will boot fine.

Glad you restored the phone.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnyrichter:
Only issue so far is when I go to change lock screen style, that screen is blank so I can't actually change anything.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Flash the small data file for your current version via dload or via twrp.

Are you referring complete black and you can do anything or just when changing the theme cos i encountered similar things in my honor 8 yesterday which was fixed after upgrading to b389. Even factory reset was not helping as default home was setup wizard instead of Huawei home.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnyrichter:
Not sure what you mean by the small data file.

When I go to Screen Lock & Passwords > Screen Lock Style it brings up a blank white screen that says "Lock Screen Style" at the top. I want to turn off icons and notifications on my lock screen.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jax:
I said that its not booting,they thought that it is because of updating and i said yes,and they gave me a jobsheet and replaced motherboard in around 10 days for free
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Go to settings, notification and status bar, notification management and select the apps you want to display the notification on lock screen and disable others.

I tried both RROS, and unofficial Paranoid Android, but in both of them, my sim card would not show up

Flash twrp.

Flash the small data zip file for the same firmware version andd done.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

That can easily be done via dload method bro. I have done more than 20 times on 6X. With Huawei/Honor you Break and learn this ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
That - I don't know it.

You have a decent explanation/Howto I can follow?

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] xda_jm:
Honor 6X

Model: BLN-L21

Build Number: BLN-L21C900B300

That is the intermediate build they gave us to Downgrade after the Beta - but it never worked right to go back.

Right now I'm at that one, and no Bloatware at all (Practically an empty Android 7.0) using EMUI 5.0

I had to play back some Images extracted from other ROM's to get it back into that state.

Using the remote Imagine feature (EMUI over WiFi) always fails in the first 5/7% ...
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:

dload not working

I followed your method but the dload part didn't work for me. My phone started but the firmware has lot of problems. Most of the stock apps are not there. Camera and sounds not working. Icons of most installed (GApps and others) do not show up in stock launcher. I tried to install twrp and custom rom again but now FRP is locked and bootloader is still unlocked. OEM unlock option is greyed(not accessible). I can't upgrade through *#*#2846579#*#* method. There is no update option in settings. Build number of phone is being shown NRD90M test-keys and model number as generic_a15. Any solution? because phone is useless for me. I can't even call because of no sound. NFC and 4G are continuously turning ON and OFF automatically.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Now flash the oeminfo file for your model, then flash the small data file of 700-800 MB via twrp. .

Once done, all should be fine, if not, flash the fulll firmware via dload post above steps. All should be fine 100%
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] huzaifaaamir155:
From where can I get oeminfo and small data file. I don't have twrp currently because in process I flashed recovery, boot and system files extracted from Update.APP. I am unable to flash Update.APP from sdcard both by volume+, vloume- and power button method and *#*#2846579#*#* methods. When I try to flash the update.zip using adb fastboot, it shows a message that andoid-info.txt is missing.

Able to flash twrp now?
