Hello everyone! This is my first post here, so i'm not completely sure if im posting this in the right place, if not then if possible, the moderators could move the topic to the correct location or inform me? :)
Anyway, yesterday i accidentally deleted my Honor 7's (PLK-01) OS, and i looked around google for at least 4 hours trying to figure out how to get my OS back, and all i found was other people asking for help, and the android pro's getting angry at them, so i decided to make this post to help out the people who don't know much about android phones and all this stuff :angel:
So basically, i'll be showing you how to get your OS back, and i'll try to be as detailed as possible, this should take up to around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your download speed.
What you will need:
Honor Multi Tool by inside!out : http://ift.tt/2ctPygg
Huawei Update Extractor by worstenbrood : http://ift.tt/1Bm544Y
PC
Stock ROM for your phone (i got mine from Needrom.com http://ift.tt/2c75HtF)
Huawei Drivers (can be installed via Honor Multi Tool)
STEP 1
Download Honor Multi Tool, create a new folder on your Desktop called Honor Multi Tool and extract both the tool and the ''Files'' folder, to the new folder.
STEP 2
Download Huawei Update Extractor and extract it onto your Desktop, or whatever location you wish
STEP 3
Download your stock ROM
STEP 4
Once your stock ROM is downloaded, extract UPDATE.APP onto your Desktop or whatever location you wish
STEP 5
Open Huawei Update Extractor, at the top you shall see a drop down menu, from this menu select your device or Unknown, Honor 7 currently is not in this list so just select Unknown
STEP 6
Under update file, you'll want to click ''...'' and select your UPDATE.APP file that you extracted from the Stock ROM which you downloaded in step 2
STEP 7
Once you have selected your UPDATE.APP, you'll see a list of files, you'll want to select the following files > BOOT.img, CUST.img, RECOVERY.img & System.img. You can select multiple files by holding CTRL and clicking on the files i named.
STEP 8
Right click on one of the selected files and select ''Extract Selected'', browse to Honor Multi Tool, open the ''Files'' folder and extract them into ''Unbrick'' folder
STEP 9
Now open the Honor Multi Tool, you should have a CMD box pop up with text saying ''UPDATING'', wait for a while, if nothing happens then close the tool and open it again.
STEP 10
Once it's updated, you should see a few options with numbers/letters as their selection, you'll want to press U and then enter, for Unbrick.
STEP 11
Now you should see green text, telling you to extract the IMG files into the ''Unbrick'' folder, which we already did in step 7 & 8, You'll want to press 2 and then Enter,
STEP 12
Next you'll have to boot your Honor 7 into Fastboot mode, which can be done by Powering off your device, Plug your USB into your PC, and when you insert the USB into your phone, you'll want to hold the Volume Down button, until your phone goes into Fastboot mode (Should be a white screen with some text, and the green Droid in the middle)
STEP 13
Once your device is in Fastboot mode, press space in the Honor Multi Tool and it shall start flashing the files onto your device. This will take around 5-15 minutes.
STEP 14
Once it's done flashing, you'll have the option to reboot your device, reboot your device and it should now boot normally and you'll be greeted with the Emui set up, as if you just bought the phone.
AND YOU'RE DONE
if i missed any step, i'm very sorry, but once you've gotten past extracting the IMG files, and move onto Honor Multi Tool, you should be able to figure out everything yourself as it's really not that hard, there's instructions in the Tool.
If after these steps your phone still doesn't boot, don't give up and try downloading a different ROM, on my first try i didn't get my phone to boot, but then i downloaded a ROM from needrom.com, flashed that and it worked perfectly.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, and if you have any questions, feel free to post them below :)
