do not forget that you need KK bootloader if you want to update to 3.0.0.0+ version,flash KK bootloader before you flash twrp 3.0.0+ if your device is still on JB bootloader

ok, everything went fine.
but now, i've tried the Resurrection rom and backed-up the CM13, and when i want to restore it says its read only and i cant, help?

Is it safe to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2?

Hi there.
Is anyone here using TWRP 3.x? I'm still on 2.x, since I read of lots of problems with newer versions of the recovery on this device, but I'd like to upgrade now. Can anyone give me some feedback?
Thanks in advance

It works but as with multiple posts not with Aroma.

I see no reason to update if u have no issue on 2.x. sometimes upgrade is just a no go.

Derp, must've missed that. I'll obviously stick with 2.x, then.

Try it.. It totally a new design You can revert back, if you don't like it.. By flashing the image through the new twrp itself.

If you're trying to downgrade, it means that you've flashed TWRP.
If you've flashed TWRP, it means that you already know how to flash a custom recovery.
If you already know how to flash a custom recovery, then this is EXACTLY the same thing. Just pick an older version of TWRP and flash it the exact same way you would flash any version of TWRP.
And if you don't even know how to do that, google is your friend.

No needed to upload it again .... Its take to long for you... Can you upload the boot.img only ??

I also need urgent backup or similar...my OP5 is in bootloop

I reverted to my 4g connection on my phone (unlimited data and way quicker).
Hopefully this is what you're looking for?!

You are the man bro! Thanks because i have delete my system partition lol (i have forget, i'm not on my S7 Edge under Lineage ^^)

Unfortunately home button doesn't work after restore...I think I need a clean flash.

So I just powered on my new OP5 and went to install update and now it only boots to recovery. WTF?

If you can get to recovery, you might be able to use the stock recovery to get to bootloader. In the roms section there is a guide thread which has a link for a version of twrp that is working (Chinese version) rather than the TWRP (WIP) thread. That Chinese version of TWRP is working. You can use that and up twrp backup above to try and get yourself up and running until a full rom zip comes out from OnePlus?
Or if you dont want to use my backup, maybe use twrp to format data and see if that gets you booting? IF not then my back up, but remember each time you come out of twrp and boot system you loose twrp

Glad I'm not the only one that makes silly mistakes like this

I hve the best lol, after recover system/boot, my data partition in the OS (not TWRP) was unwritable, so i have lock Bootloader for try recover Stock Recovery and do a factory reset.... Now Bootloop!
So for now i must wait for install emergency/factory OxygenOS from OnePlus when available because i can do nothing. I miss Odin from Samsung, so useful for flash recovery/rom

Getting back to stock EMUI super easily, almost no hassle

Hi everyone, today I will be telling you all how to get back to stock as long as your bootloader states "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
You will need to install this, this is super duper important! https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
When installing, you will see the error: "E: Unknown command []]"
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
That is supposed to happen lol.
Installation procedure -
1. Flash this TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18uHjW73Th8iYKIs5m_QgwleMIOjsZd7S/view?usp=sharing
2. Wipe everything except SD card, then choose "Format data" to decrypt device
3. Reboot once again into TWRP (NOTE: If you are using USB OTG cable, make sure to plug it in AFTER TWRP is fully booted and ready to go, if you do it early, you get an error, which is weird lol. EDIT: Not sure if this error is still present in the new twrp, but it's never bad to play it safe.)
4. Flash HuRUpdater, make sure the file names are correct!
5. Reboot into stock recovery
6. Factory reset and wipe cache partition
7. Reboot
This method also enables themes to work again, so no need to worry about that!
Lots of thanks to @zxz0O0 to providing this awesome tool
And more thanks to the OpenKirin community for helping me out when flashing this! :good::good::good:

hello crayonicle, hehe im on the dot os for now, im interested going back to stock. will i get official updates backs from honor if i go back to stock using this method?
do i need to install the HuRUpdater only as the instruction shows? or follow as the link to the other thread shows?

I flashed it using the method in the original post, of course, and I got an update notification to update system! So yes, updating works!!!! lol

Most likely not, the moment you unlock bootloader, you get no updates from that point forward. Just check using this for latest version: http://pro-teammt.ru/huawei-firmware-finder/

Hi !
Does it work to restore on the BND-L21C432B121 ? Because it's marked for 7X but does it works on all firmware versions of this device ?
Thanks !

hi op,
does this work on L24 the usa version?
What update.zip file did you use? can you point to the link?
Also, does this update take the recovery to stock with no TWRP?

Yes, after flashing this via twrp, if you reboot once again to recovery, it is stock recovery, not twrp.

You need to download all 3 files and rename them.
