Can I use a 4gb microsd or no?

May be 8 as update file may be of 4gb or more size sometimes

Uh. I'd recommend 8 GB or more. Firmware files are generally larger in size.

But firmware size in zip is just 2.76gb and it doesn't need to decompress them so can I use a 4 gb microsd?

Play it safe. Use a 8GB USB. But it's up to you. You can try.

You can't anymore unless you use paid services.

Is this the same as the 7x/SE where if you updated to Oreo you have to use the more expensive method of unlocking because they patched some stuff? On my 7x I used DC Unlocker while still on 7.0 for like $4 in credits in HCU Client.

Yes. In recent updates if Huawei added the patch then its difficult to unlock so may br you end up paying more

hi, i have succesfully debranded my bln-l21c432 to l22c675 and after that apdated to oreo using this guide. then i downloaded b520 and tried to update again. update.zip flashed with error (adb: error: failed to copy 'C:/adb/HWOTA_BLN_Eng/HWOTA8_BLN//update/update.zip' to '/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip': write failed: No space left on device). Now phone is stuck in boot screen. i can't boot to recovery or erecover. Only fastboot and rescue mode with message AP_S_ABNORMAL 32. I tried flash again b510 but i get the same error while flashing update.zip. What can i do to recover my device? Bootloader and frp are unlocked

Hi Guys,

Note- if you are on BLN-L22C675 Nougat you can do this easily but if you are on other variants, you need to debrand first as per this guide- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402

Some background-

In this guide, I will provide detailed instruction on how to update your Nougat BLN-L22C675 Indian version of Honor 6X to Oreo. Process is simple and you just need patience while updating and post updating I verified, Jio, Vodafone VOLTE working (seems iDEA would work but no 4G in Delhi/NCR).

Prerequisites-

• Unlocked bootloader.
  HiSuite backup/TWRP backup.
  
  Downloads-
• TWRP for BLN - https://mega.nz/#!bY9hRazT!I9kqA3a9i1tAc3tQSnDGpqMPc_cEKR4JAYe6rDQqvdE
• All the Oreo files (downloaded from Firmware finder or below URLs)- you need to put your device as BLN-L22HNC675 and it will show these files under B510 firmware version.
  1. Main zip- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3196/g1699/v154301/f1/full/update.zip
  2. Data File- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...channel_in/update_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip
  3. Public Zip- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...01/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
• HwOTA zip from https://mega.nz/#!CXRnEaAb!XYodFoS9CDqJkHx0Uv2fdFmzycCvTrexcvYzrwnjfGI given in thread Thanks to @vovan1982

If you have not unlocked your your bootloader, please do so. You can refer this guide if not aware of the method-
Unlocking the bootloader-

• Backup all your data as unlocking the bootloader will reset the device and all your data will be erased.
• On windows machine, go to folder C:\adb or wherever you installed the adb drivers.
• Press shift+right click together and select Open command prompt here (it will be open PowerShell here on Windows 8 and Windows 10 machine)
• Run - adb reboot bootloader (this command may prompt for acceptance of RSA key if not already accepted)
• This will boot the phone into bootloader mode.
• Run - fastboot oem unlock <16 digit unlock code- Put your actual code you obtained from Huawei site > (This step will unlock the bootloader and will erase all your data)
• Phone will restart automatically.

Installing TWRP

• Once on the system, open the PowerShell or command prompt again in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
• Run -
  

  adb reboot bootloader

• Once in bootloader, Run
  

  fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img

  (This will install the TWRP recovery for EMUI 5.0 on your phone)
• Once done with the flashing the TWRP, Run
  

  fastboot reboot

Actual Oreo update procedure

• Once you have unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP recovery via command
• Download the Oreo firmware given above in download link.
• Download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng.zip from the link given above.
• Unzip the HWOTA_BLN_Eng.zip file and move the extracted content (HWOTA_BLN_Eng folder) to adb folder of your PC.
• Copy the downloaded Oreo firmware to C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN\update\ folder.
• Rename update_data_full_public.zip file to update_data_public.zip and update_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip to update_all_hw.zip, do not rename the update.zip.
  
  
• Boot to bootloader or fastboot mode. Keep your phone connected with PC.
• Go to C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN folder and run the update_eng.bat file and follow the on screen instructions.
  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
• The update_eng.bat will install the TWRP recovery and boot to TWRP (if not, you can remove USB and press power and volume up key and it will boot to TWRP, connect the USB again)
• You will get prompt for update via SD card or script, select via script
• You will get prompt for change region or change firmware, select change firmware.
• It will automatically copy the content of C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN\update, mainly those 3 zips and it will flash automatically.
• You may see the update.zip file flashed as successful with no error but may see Error result [] for other 2 zips, dont worry that is expected.
• Once flashed, it will automatically boot to Oreo without any issue and also it will ask if you want to relock your bootloader or keep this unlocked, this is your wish, I kept it unlocked and will be locked in future updates.
  
  
• Your Nougat data may remain the same as it was in my case but I would advise to go with Hisuite backup and TWRP backup.
• If phone unable to boot, flash the stock recovery and make factory reset and boot normally, it should boot fine. (haven't encountered this issue though)
• I did factory reset after booting and verifying to system. Everything was working fine but still I did just to avoid any issue or lag (even though no lags were seen)

About Phone info and VOLTE for Jio and Vodafone. iDEA VOLTE would work as well but there is no 4G in NCR.

Enjoy Oreo.

Update- anyone having issues with call recorder, turn off Google voice typing and recording will work fine.

I tried and succeeded. many thanks bro

Wait for stock OTA. Be on stock with stock recovery, boot and unrooted phone. Once OTA arrives, you can install easily
