The model name for Honor 6X (Middle East version) is BLN-L21C185

Here are the links for the update package.
BLN-L21C185B120 - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1277/g104/v66495/f1/full/update.zip
BLN-L21C185B130 - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1277/g104/v70994/f1/full/update.zip

Hope so the device is pre installed with b130 update.
People who are using this version confirm it.
I can't find the update on my device? Im stock and unrooted. Is there a way to download it officially?

I applied for beta program
Have you unlocked your phone??

Cause I tried to update to nougat following this website: http://www.stechguide.com/update-honor-6x-to-android-nougat/

But now i am stuck with nougat beta cannot rollback.

And with the above build there is no updater in settings menu but in your screenshot you have it.

An btw rolllbak for mm: http://www.hihonor.com/de/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=94070

In other websites the instruction says flash this and flash the mm full update file from their official website.

All ways somewhere arround

EDIT: Rollback to MM for Honor 6x is not that easy, it needs a firmware file called rollback package so I am sorry if somebody got hurt by my this post.


Roll back is quit easy, just download the B130 firmware from the first post of this thread. And follow one of these procedures either 1 or 2

How to Install ANY Stock Firmware on ANY Honor device, (But in this case we are talking about Honor 6x BLN-L21C185)

Method 1

1) First, download Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM for Honor 6x from above and extract it, you will a file named update.app.

2) Now create a folder dload in the root/main folder of your SD card and place/copy paste the update.app file in that folder.

3) Now go to the phone settings–>update and press the menu button.

4) Now select choose Local update (If it is not available than follow the Method No. 2).

5) It will show the update.app file now tap on it to start the installation process.

6) Wait until the installation process is complete and then reboot your device., you have latest firmware

7) Done.

Method 2

1) Download Stock ROM for Honor 6x from above and extract it.

2) Now create a folder dload in the root/main folder of your SD card and place/copy paste the update.app file in that folder.

3) Now turn off your device.

4) Now press “Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button” together. The update process will start automatically.

5) Now wait for some time to complete the process.

6) Done.

This is the easiest way to Download/Downgrade and install Stock Marshmallow Firmware on your Honor 6x. If you have any questions comment below.

Your phone should have at least 85% battery life/charge.

Press thanks if i helped you.

This wont work unless you have the roll back package. It will be failed and on reboot, you will see the same nougat. Have tried this on 5C but wont work. Worked fine with rollback package tough :)

Do you mean rollback package has something special in it? I thought they are the same firmwares only named differently.
Yes. Rollback package is of few kbs to few MBs. Actual firmware is of GBs. Rollback package is needed to prepare your phone to be able to successfully rolled back.
