All you do is put a older rom in the dload folder of the sd card and force the update on startup.
Make sure it's a update.app file.

How to install Honor Note 8 Emui 5.0 B350/B332/B320 ROM with Root

In my case I had a backup rom B027 downloaded from Huawei website, plus I had the Nougat 7.0 zip files from here. What I did was take the update.app out of the B027 zip file and replace the Nougat 7.0 update.app with mine without breaking it being signed. Then I tried to "install from zip" which failed, so I rebooted holding the volume+ and the power button and got to download and recovery, but it was in all chinese, and decided to try downloading the rom by WLan, and this time it worked it downloaded and installed the 6.0 EMUI 4.1 rom stock, and now the phone downloaded the Nougat 7.0 EMUI 5.0 onto the phone but I havent updated it yet, because I am trying to find where the download was saved so I could pull it off the phone for further testing to restore.
Bootloader still unlocked currently, and no root as of now, going to do some experiments. If anyone wishes to try I can upload my Zipped rom to try, nothing special about the package, but I think the main difference that it worked downloading the rom by Wlan this time is because of the chinese recovery being installed, and I think its due to the meta-info and the file "full_mainpkg.tag". thats the only thing different
I tried that for three days in all different ways, could not get it to work, screenshots above support my statement.

Okay I found the location that the Nougat 7.0 update was downloaded to. Try putting your updates on the phone itself. in the root location of the phone create a New folder called: HwOUC Then create a folder called 76749 (think this is the code from Huawei for Nougat 7.0 or its just a random number) then put the update.zip and the update_data_full_all_cn.zip into this folder and then go to settings/updater and see if the phone picks up the update, if not then I would try holding the vol+ and the power button and seee if the EMUI recovery will automatically pick it up and install.
Currently my phone is updating to Nougat 7.0 EMUI 5.0 with the bootloader unlocked.
A little confused... So if on custom twrp unlock bootloader rooted emui 5 beta, what is your suggestion to revert to stock 4.1 emui with all locked, later not problems to unlock?
Thanks

My bootloader is currently unlocked and with stock. What I did was I left the bootloader unlocked, in Twrp I attempted to install the stock rom I made up as I said, it failed, but it somehow put the right files in place to WLan download the correct stock rom to install in recovery.
So in short: Custom Rom to Stock:
1) Leave bootloader unlocked
2) Go into Twrp
3) Install, Choose update.b27.zip (If attempting from Twrp)
4) Install will fail.
5) Hold Vol+ and power button to get into WLan recovery
6) Connect to WLan
7) Rom should download and install
8) UInlocked bootloader and stock in place, No Root. (If rooted wanted, try Kingroot, did not try myself yet)
Or
1) Try putting your updates on the phone itself.
2) in the root location of the phone create a New folder called: HwOUC
3) Then create a folder called 76749 (think this is the code from Huawei for Nougat 7.0 or its just a random number)
4) then put the update.zip and the update_data_full_all_cn.zip into this folder
5) and then go to settings/updater and see if the phone picks up the update, if not
6) then I would try holding the vol+ and the power button and see if the EMUI recovery will automatically pick it up and install.
Wish Granted. Rom Link
REQUEST anyone who has the English version of HiVoice (Not De-Odex) please share, I am trying to replace the chinese version with the English verison

Good to hear that your phone is working again
Just to ask / why is that unsuccessful flash from twrp needed?

Probably the needed is imported in order to be able to download the rest.
It's just a guess,but it works.

Unexpected. So same twrp as now on emui 5 beta? This means bootloader stays nougat or? And with this new twrp can install dome emui 4.1 stuff? Actually, on Samsung world you also can use newest twrp with even older roms, same thing..

The flash rom seems to format and install specific files which make the WLan recovery work properly, or its because the WLan recovery is the chinese version and connects/validates the package check.
Use the 5.0 Twrp that posted in his main post, that one is what I used to put Nougat 7.0 on, and thats what I used to attempt flashing the rom I posted. The bootloader if is unlocked can stay unlocked, it has no effect on putting the phone back to stock.
BUT remember 1 thing, if you choose to lock the bootloader you will be fine, but when you unlock it again it will erase the data. As of right now my phone is Perfectly stock Nougat 7.0 EMUI 5.0 direct from Huawei, the only thing that is modified is the bootloader is unlocked on my phone and believe me there is quite a few features in stock 7.0 huawei direct that wasnt there in flashing letschky's post, but I dont know if that was the rom or the decrypted boot.img.
If anyone wants I can take screenshots and post the things I noticed between the two 7.0 versions.
Thanks, boss. I have no reason to relocate bootloader.
Post differences please, or just say what they are

Well first off the themes work with the official version, also under battery you have the option to darken the interface to save power opposed to keeping it a white background. it downloads the default swype from hauwei app store. The google play services apk doesnt fail during install (at least for me). installs a video player where I didnt have one in the other install.
Couple of pitfalls:
When having more then one email, it doesnt stick keeping all inboxes and reverts to showing you the default email inbox when going to email, you have to hit the 3 lines on the top right and choose all inboxes, Cant find any way to keep apps running like the health app. If you clear memory hitting the square, it kills all background apps.
There is a few other things I dont remember off hand, but I am going to try using kingroot to root the phone.
Still looking for the HiVoice.apk English (No De-odexed).

@letschky Boss, new upd is out b332. Is there any way to update, not from zero install ?

I can see there is a B332 in Hi Care App. But it is still beta?
I am waiting till april for official 5.0
Update doesnt show up on my HiApp or HiCare, anyone have a link or downloaded it?
*EDIT* Just got the update on my phone, downloading B332 now.
Anyone interested here is a link to it: EDI-AL10C233B332
Expand and put folder 78476 into the HwOUC folder on the root of the phone, then reboot the phone holding the Vol+ and power for the emui recovery so it can pick up the update.
Not sure what the update is for, its only about 250-300MB, must be minor here is what I got so far in this upgrade:
the version update log
B320 -> B332
【recommend】
(New) drop-down status bar 4G switch.
【Payment Protection Center】
(Repair) payment protection center to add application probability to flash problem.
【Leather Case】
(Fix) Replace the font after the holster shows abnormal problems.
【system】
(Optimized) system performance and stability, so that your mobile phone running more smooth and stable.
