Hi again, I can't rollback because I loose my code to relook & unlock the bootloader, its very hard to obtain the code again. But I found this link of B387, can you tell me plz if it's the right one:see the post #3
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...c185b387-erschienen-am-04-05-2017.829844.html
If it's ok, how can I install it? After I can install the v2 (now I'm on v1 B385.

Yes, this would be the right b387.
1) You need stock recovery from current Firmware installed instead of TWRP.
2) unzipp update.app on PC and copy only UPDATE.APP to dload folder on external SD
3) Go to restart and soon phone begin to restart, press Vol+ and Vol- Button (in the middle) down and keep holding this position until phone reboot and EMUI Update start.
4) After you are back in system, delete updateapp in dload folder.
5) Unzipp update_data_full.... zip - copy all files (data folder, Meta-Inf, update.app)into the folder "dload" on external SD.
6) install it with same method 3)
7) After you are back to system reboot to Stock Recovery with Vol+ and Power Button.
8) Wipe Cache Partition and do factory reset.
9) Enable Developer Options, in Developer Options enable ADB Debugging and USB Debugging
10) Flash TWRP, make the wipes (described in OP) and install the Rom.

I am very pleased with this rom.
Thank you Tecalote.
One quick question, I am trying to revert boot animation back to stock, i have extracted the bootanimation.zip from the original firmware but i cannot paste it on /product/etc/media. I think that i don't have write permissions for this folder.
Any ideas?
I created a zip file and tried to flash it with twrp but this failed and i am now stuck (device boots normal no probs) with the android logo (fading white to gray) boot animation, which is better than the epileptic animation originally in magic rainbow v2 (i am epileptic no offence to dev's taste). Can someone provide me with a flashable zip with the original EMUI 5 Huawei bootanimation?

P.S. I am attaching my zip

Thanx once again.

Yes, this is a known problem. If you try to manipulate the Bootanimation folder with Root Explorer and copy another animation there, you loose it and get instead of this the Android Logo.
There's no possibility to change this with another or the original Bootanimation.
To change it from MagicRaibow to original Huawei Bootanimation it must be flashed before trying with file explorer.
At the moment you can just go back to Stock Firmware by flashing update.zip and data.zip (described in OP) with TWRP.
Even if you restore a Nandroid Backup Android Logo does not go away!
Back to Stock and flash after Rom again is the only way. I can provide a zip with original Huawei Bootanimation.

So if I do a nandroid backup now (to save my data) reflash magic rainbow with your custom zip, then restore nandroid, should I be OK and have stock boot animation ?

1) Backup data with TWRP
2) flash update.zip and data..zip Stock b386 with TWRP (exactly the steps described in OP - Point 4)
3) Flash TWRP, make the wipes, install the ROM - as you have done first time.
4) After reboot make the necessary settings
5) reboot to TWRP and restore data

Tomorrow evening I load up the Stock Bootanimation.zip and post the Link here
