Many of the Indian Users of Honor View 10 C675 are stuck with custom roms and cannot quite find ways to get back to stock. For them, @oreopie wrote a thread to get back to original which was tested by both of us. Strangely, it worked for us the first time and the second time I tried it got it me into a bootloop. The method still works for @oreopie, but has stopped working for me. PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFOREHAND TO AVERT ANY SERIOUS LOSSES OF ANY KIND, MONETARY OR EMOTIONAL.

This thread is meant to get done with the bootloop and get back to stock.:laugh:
Please try the method mentioned below by @oreopie initially,

Guide to return back to Indian Stock (C675) on V10 from any Custom ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/how-to/guide-to-return-to-indian-stock-c675-t3800588

If this gives you a bootloop (which is unlikely), follow the below method.

PS- As much as this method is tested, We're not to take blames for any untoward happenings whatsoever. Please try this at your own risk.:fingers-crossed:

Prerequisites-
*Bootloader unlock code
*Fastboot and ADB drivers
*Some patience
@luckykhera2 's Rom backup (https://drive.google.com/uc?id=14XmgXGR2s1iBPixUh8rTMK0HcoGEuHmO&export=download)
*Huawei Extractor Tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454) - Thanks to @worstenbrood
*TWRP- Preferably unofficial all thanks to @Pretorian80 (https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...velopment/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769917/amp/)

The Method-

*Assuming, you're in a bootloop, please download Lucky Khera's rom backup. Extract it using 7zip or RAR, to find Update.APP in it.
*Create a folder, dload in the root of your SD card, and paste Update.APP in it.
*Use the combination of Volume down+Power (on plugging phone via USB) to enter fastboot mode.
*Hover to the ADB folder, and right click to find 'Open Command Window'.
*Type the commands- Fastboot OEM relock *Your Unlock Code*. This will lock your Bootloader.
Also, be warned that this will lead to loss of data, this is where a data backup will help you out.
*Do check if your bootloader is locked by turning on the device and rebooting it to fastboot mode. You'll see Phone-locked. Don't worry about FRP, we need that unlocked for now.
*Now that your bootloader is relocked, put in your sd card, and hold a combination of Volume Up+Volume Down+Power, until the phone goes to Honor bootsplash screen, to enter software downloading mode.
Here, I'm assuming you've Dload folder placed in your SD Root.
*If you've done everything properly, the software update procedure will start and you'll be greeted with a stock rom quite soon.

Unlocking your bootloader remains a choice to you, do shall you please. For me, I wanted an unlocked BL thereafter.

Enjoy Stock! Repeat the same method once Honor pushes a worthy, comprehensive OTA update.:cool:
Big thanks to @luckykhera2 and @oreopie for his rom backup and for an intensive research alongside, respectively.

@ankan1993 Thanks a lot for sharing the stock rom and helping me out. And this is what i did.

1. Extract the shared zip and put the dload folder in root of sd card.
2. Switch to fastboot mode.
3. Flash stock recovery.
4. Switch off the mobile.
5. Press vol up + down and power button for the update to start.

And voila it worked. The bootloader and frp got locked automatically after the update.

im currently running custom rom, phone in working condition,if i place the file in internal storage instead of SD card, will it work?
Since, relocking the bootloader erases everything inclusive of the internal memory, it is advisable to place it in your SD card. Some people tried with an unlocked bootloader and it worked for them, however, I'd advice otherwise, as Huawei somehow took away my version when I tried it on an unlocked bootloader.

How to flash update_sd_BKL-L09I_hw_in after update.app?
If thats zip file, extract and use the same dload method.

can i get themes and all working again after this?
It works as stock. If not, then data file needs to be flashed in twrp

Well FYI...
You were in bootloop cause your cache/internal was corrupt and when u relocked the bootloader it formatted it to fix it...
You would have been fine with a internal format, but anyway glad u got the device working
This should work even with unlocked bootloader

No need to relock bootloader. Dload will take care if that and lock it along with frp.
Op can update instruction.

Dload is meant for sd card only. Although, i was able to get it work on my 5C but no other Huawei/honor phone and only sd card worked for dload.

So my phone is still in bootloop.
I`ve tried everything i could thing of. I1ve had TWRP installed, sideloaded custom roms, several official ones. Erased system, dalvik, cache and data through recovery and also ADB commands.
I tried it with official bootloaders, locked an unlocked. I`ve tried the Update.app on external SD card method (several versions).
Nothing get`s my phone out of bootloop. I`m at the end of my options really. Anyone has any new idea?

Have you tried erecovery option? Boot to erecovery, download and install stock full firmware.
Else try once the guide i posted yesterday via fastboot.
