[Q]OTA KitKat Update Failed, won't complete boot process now.

Tried to update my wife's Nexus 10 tonight. It's unlocked and rooted, formerly on the stock version of Jelly Bean. I thought this would be an easy update since it was stock jellybean to kitkat with the official OTA file but I guess I was wrong. Got the OTA update notification so I allowed it to reboot and install. CWM Touch Recovery picked it up and I told it to install the unsigned zip. Got near the end and it had an error. Now it's stuck in boot (appears to be Kit Kat boot). Just sits on the 4 colored circles going in/out in the middle of the screen.
I need to fix this without wiping data. It's her only computer that she uses daily so she's got a million things on there she uses all the time. If I have to wipe data, she'll be pissed (and I'll lose my hard earned game saves).
Attached is a picture of the error. I've got WUG's toolkit if it's necessary to use to fix this. Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks.

I have a rooted/unlocked Nexus 10, I used wugfresh's kit also. I got the OTA update last night. it installed. CWM never came up or did anything. During one of the boots after the green droid bot was saying "installing" the boot finished, but my green bot is now on his side. stomach open and it says "Error" in red bold letter.
I had to go to work, so I couldnt trouble shoot, but power off/on and soft reset (power+volume up select reset) didnt help. always comes to that "error".
I have data that is also not currently backed up with TBpro. hindsight I should have made sure I turned the scheduler on.
So I'm stuck also. not sure how to proceed. Got one recommendation to flash stock back on. But I think that will for sure wipe all my data. And beyond that, I dont know how, unless WUGs kit will do that.

Your best bet it is to sideload. Grab the OTA and the FULL 4.4
Pull the recovery.img from the full 4.4 rar (its in the zip), fastboot flash it, reboot into bootloader, go to recovery and sideload the OTA and that should restore it just fine

I was about to say. whaaaaat? then saw the link with some details. Never done that stuff before, just used other tools kits, like wugs. But doesnt sound to bad. Will try when I get home. I presume when you say into a adb directory, its something on the desktop pc you are connected to. outside of perhaps some drivers, do I need other applications on the PC to facilitate the adb stuff you mention?

Well if you are unfamiliar with the process you will need to get the android SDK installed or find one of the pre-packaged current adb loads. It's very simple, get this package here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Nexus10/Nexus10RootNew.zip# (yes its a crappy ad link but hey the guy packaged it all up so...).
If you are on a PC extract these to a folder of your choice.
Open file manager
Navigage to the folder you extracted the files to
on the left pan select the folder, press SHIFT and Right Click mouse, then select "Open command window here"
You can now follow my instructions from the other page - Do the following below FIRST
If you are prompted to accept security allowance on your device do so. you will likely only see this once you are back into the Android OS not in recovery.
This folder has all the basics you need to fastboot and run adb.
Connect your device to your pc and run >fastboot reboot-bootloader.
If your device restarts and goes into the bootloader you can relax and follow my instructions.
Hope this helps.
One other thing, that su zip is dated, you will need to flash the 1.51 version and you should be good to complete root process.

Wow, this seems about 3 miles over my head but I guess I'll dive in and try it. Thanks for the info. I'm sure I'll be back with problems/questions.

OK, I downloaded the packaged linked above and extracted it to the desktop. Then I used file manager to "open command window here". Where do I get su zip 1.51? I tried to google a link but they all seemed newer (1.75 for example). Does it matter if it's 1.51 exactly or can it be any version 1.51 or newer? One last question regarding su zip, does that need to be updated after this whole process is complete and I'm up and running again, or does it need to be done before I move on to the instructions you linked to above? Thanks.

You don't need to root at all but the updated supersu 1.75 will be just fine as its universal. You can get the official from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/368/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.75.zip
You will install that ONLY after you have installed the OTA's and your custom recovery and only if you want root.
good luck!

In this link, you said to do the following:
Pull the full stock 4.4 image from here : https://developers.google.com/androi...mages#mantaray
open it and pull out from the zip in the rar the recovery.img, move a copy to your adb folder along with a copy of your custom recovery ( for discussion sake I'll use twrp.recovery.img)
Put copy of the patch in the adb folder and rename it to a short name like krt16s.zip
I got the full stock 4.4 image downloaded, extracted it, extracted the zip file inside (image-mantaray-krt16s.zip) and that provided me with "recovery.img" you mentioned above.
Now I have 2 problems, where is this "adb folder" you say to put the recovery.img in, and where is the custom recovery? I assume it's on the N10 after I connect it to my laptop. Is there a preferred custom recovery I should use? I saw mention of TWRP not working with Kit Kat elsewhere. Not sure if that is dated info or not.
Lastly, just to confirm this is true, none of this whole process will wipe my data correct?

Correct - if you SIDELOAD the OTA it will UPGRADE and retain all data and application settings etc...
If you run the 4.4 update from the factory image it will WIPE ALL. So do not do that ....just pull the recover.img from it and get rid of the rest.
If you downloaded this: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/N...10RootNew.zip#
and extracted it to a new folder - do this first!!!
then copy the recovery.img you just extracted from the factory 4.4 rar to the same folder as the adb and fastboot commands
copy the OTA file to same folder and rename it ota.zip to make your life easier
>fastboot reboot-bootloader to validate your computer can see the device and that the next steps will go as planned
If you are now back bootloader then:
>fastboot flash recovery recover.img
wait till its done..will take about 15 seconds tops
>fastboot reboot-bootloader again and go to recovery using the volume buttons
select and enter recovery mode
wait for dead droid to appear
press both Volume UP and Power at same time and you should get the load menu
select "apply updated from adb" and press power after selecting
orange colored type will now appear at the bottom of the screen
on your PC
>adb sideload ota.zip
wait till you see its completed successfully
then reboot
(you can also apply the smaller ota (1.7MB) this same way)
If all went well you have now booted up successfully and see that your ass has been saved from eternal hell from your wife's wrath...
reboot and fastboot flash your favorite custom recovery reboot again to recovery and apply the su update for root access
I hope this helps
You can also read this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-download-and-install-android-4-4-now-krt16o/

You said: "just pull the recover.img from it and get rid of the rest."
So is your instruction from the original link to: "Put copy of the patch in the adb folder and rename it to a short name like krt16s.zip" replaced by the OTA file I renamed to ota.zip in order to retain all data? For reference, krt16s.zip is 390mb, ota.zip is 225mb.

not sure i follow you but from the 4.4 factory image you will need the recovery.img file thats it. You will also need the OTA upgrade that takes you from 4.3 to 4.4. You need the OTA so that you wont lose your wifes data and will upgrade only and not image the device.
I have to leave and wont be back on till later this weekend.

Going well so far...had an issue but figured it out.

Got to sideloading ota.zip, then after it got to 100% it started verifying the update package. Got an error:
'/system/app/BasicDreams.apk" has unexpected contents
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Now what?
I found this in the Nexus 7 section but not sure if it applies here or if there is a better way, if it's guaranteed to not wipe data, etc.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47474021&postcount=26

Did you try this solution? I'm stuck on the "Error in /tmp/update.zip" as well. Having the same issues, and I hope to update without loosing data.

No, I haven't tried it as I can't risk losing data by randomly trying stuff I don't understand. I need someone who knows what they are doing to confirm that the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47474021&postcount=26 won't wipe data or do anything that will require wiping data to finish this process.

have well

I just tried it. And it worked. Didn't loose any data.
Flashing the img files, and then proceeding to sideload the OTA zip. Booting didn't take too long, Android then started upgrading ("Optimizing app..."), and booted successfully. It took a while to open de app drawer though... But everything was still there.
Regaining root access is something I'll try later. I'm just happy to have my N7 booting again.
Just a small disclaimer. I don't really know what I'm doing (I kinda like messing around with my device, it's only way to learn something), so I cannot guarantee it will work for you.

Glad it worked for you, it didn't work for me. I got another error after doing the following commands:
Then, run the following commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
then I rebooted back to bootloader, then "apply updated from adb" and then from the command line: >adb sideload ota.zip
It again loaded 100% and then started verifying the package. Then I got this error:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/mantaray/manta:4.3/JWR66Y/776638:user/release-keys or google/mantaray/manta:4.4/KRT160/907817:user/release-keys; this device has google/mantaray/manta:4.4/KRT16S/920375:user/release-keys.
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

Installation aborted.
What a F***ing nightmare...
Why do I apparently have the wrong version?

Hmm, might be the wrong OTA zip idd...

4.4.2 (KOT49H) update fails on rooted device

Received the update today but it failed to install. I'm running the stock rom KRT16S. My Nexus 10 is rooted and my recovery is TWRP 2.6.3.1. I have added nothing else to this rom except a few apps from the google play store. I wanted to try again but couldn't find where the OTA is stored. It wasn't in the /cache/fota folder. So I downloaded a flashable zip from the net. But this update file failed to install also. I've seen a few others have success installing the update. I just don't know what's preventing me from updating. I welcome your suggestions. Thanks.

Same here on my Nex5.
It seems, that some custom zips changed my stock (rooted) rom in this way that I am not able to install the 4.4.2 update.
I got similar issue on my Nex4 in the past, I could help me out by flashing full rom (rooted) deodexed, but where can I find the full rom of 4.4.2 for my Nex5 now?
Anybody can give me a clue?
Thank u very much.

Hi Fred, and greetz from Ohio. I'm not aware of anything in the 4.4.2 flavor right now for the Nex10. I'm not sure about the Nex5. I think we're just going to have to wait. But I'd like to have the same thing. A lean & clean deodexed stock rooted 4.4.2 rom with a few performance tweaks. Like the old "Cleanrom" by scrosler. As for right now, did you try an ADB Sideload update to 4.4.2 using Wug's Toolkit? http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/how-to-update-ota-not-working/

Hi,
You can try performing a full unroot in the SuperSU app if it still doesn't work... I had to adb sideload mine to work, don't know how it works with toolkit, but you have to first set your tablet to receive it. As you are on TWRP you simply go to advanced and select adb sideload, then try using the tool, or following the instructions on it to do so .
You cannot install a OTA zip like a Custom ROM zip, they are a little bit different hehe.
Hope this helps,
~Lord
PS.: This will work for N5 too.

I somehow got the idea that rooted Nexus devices with a custom recovery could handle OTA's without trashing the recovery. I guess I expected that I would lose root. I think I'm just going to wait for someone to put together a "CleanROM" based on 4.4.2 or newer. I've been waiting for a rom like this since I bought my Nex10 anyway. I don't think I'll suffer too much running on 4.4 until then.
Thanks to those who contributed, I'll remember your suggestions. Especially if I end up waiting a long time for a 4.4.2 based Cleanrom.
Update: Thanks to Wug's toolkit. I'm now running 4.4.2..

I should ask for a sticky for this but these instruction will work EVERY TIME if you are running either custom recovery or Root.
You will need the latest adb/fastboot from google, you can either install the SDK or download any of the many smaller adb/fastboot and libs for your os
You will need STOCK 4.4/4.3/4.2 recovery depending on what version of android you are currently on. Download the factory image from here. Open the zip within the package and pull out recovery.img and rename it stockrecovery.img
Copy your custom recovery to the adb folder name it twrp.zip or short name for whatever you are using I am using twrp.
You will need the correct OTA you are seeking to apply - rename it to something short simple and obvious - for this example I will use otaupdate.zip
If you wish to root get the latest patch (I believe its up to 1.75 now) and copy it to the adb/fastboot folder.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE FIRST AND COPY IT TO YOUR PC
If you are already Rooted:
If you are using SuperSU - go to the application options and completely unroot and reboot if needed
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE FIRST AND COPY IT TO YOUR PC
If not rooted start here:
I am assuming most of you are Windows users. Open your file explorer and open the ADB folder.
On the left hand folder where ADB is located press shift and right click the ADB folder and select "Open command window from here". This will open a command prompt window for you to run all your adb/fastboot commands from. This is the same folder where you copied your recoveries and updates to.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE FIRST AND COPY IT TO YOUR PC
Copy your custom recovery and stock recovery to your adb folder
Copy and rename the OTA to the adb folder
Copy your root.zip patch to the /sdcard downloads folder (if you wish root)
>adb reboot bootloader
>fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
>fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into recovery and wait till dead droid appears
Press power and Volume Up at same time to go into the stock recovery menu
Using the volume buttons move and down the blue list of options and select: Apply update from ADB
You will now have orange text at the bottom of the screen - follow the instructions to side load by typing >adb sideload otaupdate.zip in your command prompt window
Wait and watch the progress, at this point you should see the ota processing steps of which there a few and will vary depending on the package. When its complete there will be a "install complete" or similar message
Reboot and let the update complete the system optimizations and go in validate your device is working and the version is what you wanted
>adb reboot bootloader
>fastboot flash twrp.zip
>fastboot reboot-recovery
Using your newly installed custom recovery you can now apply zips/root etc
Reboot as needed and update root if using older .zip to current binaries and enjoy your updated device.
And yes you only need to backup once prior to starting but many people skip that step -DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.
Hopefully I've not missed a bit.
You can also use these same instructions if you're stuck in boot loop or applied a patch without first replacing stock or unrooting - just boot to bootloader using fastboot and replace recovery and apply the patches. This will usually work just fine and prevent much heart ache on your part.

OK, so far I'm unlocked. But, I'm stuck on step 3 - select the folder where you are having the twrp.img by pressing Shift + Right Click.. Then select "Open command here"
EDIT:Got it! I had to open the actual folder first with TWRP in it (adb is where I put it) in my C drive then the right click + shift works as you said within the folder - thanks so much for this tutorial!

Is it neccessary to be on 2.19.40.22? There wasn't much of a difference between 2.19.40.20 and 2.19.40.22. Would I have to flash the OTA then flash CM? Also, do you recommend wiping cache/dalvik after flashing GAPPS just in case?
PS: Thank you Ansebovi! All your guides are easy to read and follow.

I did it by downloading Terminal for Android and putting the image on the internal storage and then opening Terminal and did this
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery

CM12 zip is downloading really slow...i know its only 350mb but is going at barely 45kb/s ..is this normal? i know its not my connection -.-

ota have patch for boot and recovery,..not a gud idea to flash ota with twrp,custom kernel...it may end up in failure

hi, finished downloading needed files, unlocked bootloader succesfully (white splash screen) , rooted, and installed unthetered twrp just like in the steps, however, when i tried to enter recovery for the first time just showed android on the floor with ERROR and red triangle logo...nothing happens so just rebooted and wating for a tip...thanks.
EDIT: sorry i did not read the same problem being resolved on page 1... got twrp running now.

For 500CL ?
I can't wait for this rom for the 500cl Zenfone 2. The original rom is awful, with the huge amount of bloatware any so many bugs ! Any chance to have this rom for the zenfone 2 500cl ?

How to unroot and get locked bootloader again

Hi, I rooted my tablet about 2 months ago - Now I have root and TWRP. Now I need to remove root and put a stock image with locked bootloader.
Do you think I can do it by my own? (for example, with fastboot?)
Many thanks

Hi,
You can achieve this by following methods.
Method 1
Since you have TWRP
you can flash the stock firmware from TWRP and it should lock the bootloader, unroot and then overwrite the twrp with stock recovery.
What you need?
For this method you need the stock firmware zip files and firmware finder app from google store.
Method 2 (risky, not recommended)
Download SRK tools by somboons
From here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66627615&postcount=2
Unzip the file
Open the application
Then on the main screen, you will have plenty of options to type 1, 2, 3, etc..
Just type 000 to enter the command prompt here.
Once you are in that command prompt you can type the adb commands.
to lock the bootloader you need to type
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx (just check this command. I think
xxxxx is your bootloader unlock code (yes you have to use the unlock code here again)
this will relock the bootloader.
now to unroot
you can just flash stock firmware using dload method.
How?
download the stock firmware
extract the update.app
put this update.app in a dload folder in sdcard.
you have to create this folder on sdcard and name it as dload.
then you can use the code from dialer pad
*#*#2846579#*#*
from there select SDcard upgrade.
It will reboot and flash the stock firmware. You no longer have root. It will also overwrite the twrp recovery with stock recovery.
I would recommend the method 1. It is safe, easy and should complete the desired tasks within no time.
Method 2 has lot of steps and there is risk involved so I cannot recommend this procedure as confidently as the first one.
I have the Huawei Mediapad M3 LTE version and also Huawei Mate 8. There are few similar functions in Huawei devices.
So now the question is where you will find the stock firmware?
You can find the stock firmwares using firmware finder app in google store.
From here -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder&hl=en
Install the app.
Open the app
It will automatically find the right firmware's by detecting your tablet model.
All links might not work
So check the one that is working and download that firmware - preferably full firmware.
You will get the zip files if there are two or just one.
then you can follow the method 1.
Hope this works out for you. Hope you find this information useful. :good::good::good:

Hi and many thanks for your kind response!! I tried as you adviced, the problem is that now i have a custom rom and this is the reason, I suppose, for which, every firmware i try to flash, it says "this version is not compatible with the one installed". For what you know, is there a way to flash the firmware without it to check the one already installed?
Thankssss again!!

Hi,
Can you give me more details about your tablet ? It will be in settings - > about device
like
tablet version - is it BTV-DL09 or BTV-DW09?
DL09 is the LTE version
W - is the wifi version
which OS are you running currently?
TWRP version ?
How did you try to flash ? When method did you follow?
I don't know if there is a way to check what you are asking. But we can certainly resolve your issue.
When I was flashing and experimenting on my Huawei Mate 8 last week I came across similar errors. That time I had to dload rollback package from SDcard and then I flashed the EMUI4.1 OS to get back to stock. Now I feel that is the case with your tablet too.
Process is same for both devices. But the files used to flash are different (naturally). That is why I am confident that we can try to come up with a solution.
Point to note
to flash stock rom, the following play a key role.
1) bootlocker - locked
2) recovery - stock
3) Rollback package ( this was really file for Huawei Mate 8, but is it important for Huawei Mediapad M3? I will try to find out).
At the moment, you have custom OS and custom recovery.
so best thing to do is flash the Stock ROM zip files from TWRP. I explained why it is better to do it this way.
Were you able to get the stock rom zip files?
Also please answer all the questions in this post so that I can help you better. :good::good::good::good::good:

Android 6.0, EMUI 4,1, Greatslon mod B030
TWRP version ?
Twrp doesn't start anymore and so did root. This happens since yesterday, after installing the custom rom.
How did you try to flash ? When method did you follow?
I installed firmware finder and tried the following firmwares :
BTV-DL09C233B332, 1273 MB, OTA
BTV-DL09C233B035, 173 MB, OTA
BTV-DL09C233B030, 1801 MB, FULL
and always I get the same response : your firmware version is not compatible - upgrade failed.

ok
so your root doesn't seem to work
you don't know if you have custom recovery
you are using EMUI 4.1
1) do the factor reset from the settings > go to -> Settings -> Advanced settings - > backup & reset - > factory data reset
do this - it should take few minutes
2) then -> developer options - > turn on "oem unlock" and " usb debugging " - on
3) please download the srk tools - I think I gave you the link to that software in my previous posts - > please download - extract keep it ready.
4) open the SRK tools - > type 000 in the place where it asks you to type 1 or 2 or 3 .. - you should get command prompt
5) Now press volume down button and hold .. and then connect your tablet to computer ( you have to enter bootloader mode)
6) now we need to lock the bootloader - so run the adb command ( for this you need to put the tablet in bootloader mode )
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx or fastboot oem lock xxxxxxx
yes you will need the unlock code and in the above command replace the xxxxxx with your unlock code.
lock your bootloader.
7) it will do factory reset - and then your bootloader is locked.
Now at this point you have bootloader locked and you have normal firmware but since you want to go back to stock rom
I am still not clear about the build number. Can you give me the build number ? its in settings - > about tablet - > mine is BTV-DL09C100B006
Model number you and I have the same version. BTV-DL09. But it is the build number which matters.
I checked the firmware finder - unfortunately it is not giving the full firmware - only ota updates.
so the factory reset in the first step above is very very crucial.
The other safe way to get the firmware is through Hisuite
for this you need Hisuite software - you can either go forward to B009 or if it is giving you that option to switch to earlier version then you can go back. But I highly doubt it will give anything. So just try to go forward with B009 ROM.
try all these steps... see if you can succeed to any extent. In the mean time I will try to search for full firmware and if I do I will update this reply or give a new reply.
My name is Sam Hope this works out for you. Don't worry if this doesn't work then we will think about alternatives. But these are very important steps. Good luck. :good::good::good::good::good:
Cheers!
Sam
Update: After going through some of the threads on xda I came across one russian website
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=780572&st=0#entry54523165
you can check the firmwares. They are all custom firmwares. But I am not sure if the version is compatible. check if your tablet buildnumber is BTV-DL09C100B006 or BTV-DL09C233XXX . that is something you need to be careful.
update2 :- http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
this link contains all stock firmwares - but they are all OTA and not Full package.

I have the US version (I believe it is distinguished as BTV-W09C128Bxxx). Using the firmware finder, it appears the only old firmware available for my build is B001_demo and it's only an OTA. If my goal is restore stock recovery, will downloading this and flashing this do anything? I currently have greatslon's TWRP rooted running stock firmware version BTV-W09C128B002. Thanks!

if you check this Russian site
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
you will find 8 matches for your model.
unfortunately, all are OTA and not full firmware. OTA is good for updating from lower version to higher version. But for downgrading or returning to stock I am not sure. In my experience, I always used the FULL package.
your current situation
1) you have TWRP
2) Rooted ( so bootloader unlocked)
your options
1) Returning to stock seems to be difficult. Only possible way is Hisuite but it won't recognize your device as your tablet is rooted and bootloader unlocked.
To return to stock
a) you need stock recovery ( you will get this once you flash Stock rom in twrp or through erecovery - download stock rom)
b) bootloader locked (this is possible by adb commands using SRK tools )
c) Stock rom (this is the problem - I couldn't find a single site which is hosting FULL stock rom )
d) rollback package ( If there is one, Huawei had it for Huawei mate 8 but for mediapad m3, does it have? I don't know) - I hope this is not mandatory. We should be able to get the job done using a,b,c . previous points.
From my experience, I found that if you have a, b, c you can go back to stock easily.
I saw another Russian site where they have custom roms. But you have to be careful. Check if the version they put out is compatible with yours. You mentioned that your tablet version is BTV-W09C128Bxxx. It looks they have custom roms for BTV-W09C233xxx Can you flash this firmware on your tablet? that is tricky and can be risky too. If any one has done it, then it would be nice if they can share their experience.

The OTA in the firmware finder is not enough to go back to stock. You can try but I am not hopeful because it is not complete firmware and it might get stuck in between or fail.
For now. you can do factory reset from TWRP. That is the only thing that seems possible. Without stock rom or rollback package, it is very difficult to go back to stock. But if you manage to get stock rom for your device. Then flash it in TWRP. Once it completes you will have stock rom installed on your device.
Hope you find this information useful :good::good::good::good:

Thanks for the reply and the useful information. It seems as though I'm out of luck unless I can find a FULL stock firmware package. However, you did mention that I can use Hisuite? Even though I am unlocked, TWRPed, and rooted, Hisuite still does recognize my device (I think it's because I'm on stock rom). When I click on System Recovery it just says "Your device system is running properly and does not need to be recovered." Is there another method I can go through using Hisuite to restore stock recovery?

That's great news.
Good that your tablet was recognized by Hisuite.
For system recovery to work. You have to press volume down and then connect the tablet.
Did you do it this way? I think you did.
Do you have "update" or "restore" option in Hisuite?
If yes when you click on "update" did you get "switch to earlier version" If it gives that then yes you can try but even then we have to keep fingers crossed until it completes the process successfully.
One more thing you can try is using HiCare. But this is for updating to nougat or for OS early adopters.
All the options are coming down to stock rom. If you have one stock rom. Then you can flash it in TWRP or extract the update.app and dload it using 3 finger rule.
Full stock rom - that is the key here. Is it possible for you to get the stock rom for your device? So far I found only OTA's from those Russian sites or custom roms for different models. It will be great if can find all stock firmware's for all the models. It will help many people. Since my tablet was working very well, I didn't think about rooting at all. Mine is BTV-DL09C100B006.
One last option is Unroot your tablet using Supersu app. And then flash boot.img (it is recovery.img not boot.img) from one of the OTA firmwares. that way you can get back to stock firmware. But this is tricky. You have to be very careful about this. If anything goes wrong here then you won't be able to boot into tablet. That is why I cannot recommend this option.
Sorry I made a mistake in this post. It is recovery.img not boot.img. Please be aware.
You can try - Factory reset - from inside the OS or from TWRP. :good::good::good::good:

1) When you say pressing volume down and connecting the tablet, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean from power off? Anyways, from a power on state, I tried using the Update process within Hisuite and it downloads the B003 firmware, then boots into recovery (TWRP), attempts to flash it, fails, and then I manually have to hit restart system within TWRP.
2) I downloaded an OTA update.zip and could not find a boot.img.
3) Also, what does factory reset from inside the OS or from TWRP do exactly?
Thanks again!

I am sorry. I should have explained it better.
Pressing volume down and holding it for few seconds and then connecting to computer will take you to bootloader mode.
Then you can do the system recovery.
Yes, if you have stock recovery it will go smoothly. You have BTV-W09C128B002. So you need boot.img of the stock firmware belonging to this OS. then you have to flash that using the below adb command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should get back the stock recovery. Once you have this. You can try the Hisuite again, this time hopefully it should complete the process.
- you have the update.zip - > extract the update.app -> use Huawei update extractor (software in the attachment) -> extract this zip - > run Huawei UpdateExtractor - now open the update.app - > you will be able to see the recovery.img extract it. Flash it using the adb command in SRK tools.
you can download SRK tool from here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66627615&postcount=2
Open this tool - > type 000 where it is giving you an option to type 1, 2, or 3 etc.. you will get command prompt . there you have to type the fastboot command to flash the boot.img.
But once again. Just want you to know this process is risky. Wrong file or if anything goes wrong you won't be able to boot into your device. So please be careful. It is risky. Please do not proceed with these steps. Flashing the stock rom is the right way. Or Hisuite. Those are safe methods. But not this.
Factory reset from inside the OS means - > go to settings - > advanced systems -> backup & reset -> factory data reset
that will do the factory reset on your device.
or
since you have TWRP. you can boot into TWRP - go to wipe - > there you will have factory reset. you can do it that way too.
I apologize for not explaining properly. I am sorry I made a mistake. It is recovery.img not boot.img.
Hope you found this information useful. :good::good::good::good::good:

Hi Sam!
unfortunately the custom rom I put 2 days ago hiddens the build numer (it says "B030 greatslon mod") but I annotated the previous one, which was the one you said "BTV-DL09C100B006".
Now I'm at work but this evening I'll try to do what you adviced. Thanks again and have a good day

I have downloaded the Huawei Extractor and was able to use it to extract boot.img, fastboot.img, and recovery.img. However, this is for B003 and I am currently on B002. B002 does not appear to be available through the links you previously provided (neither OTA nor Full). Using B003 extracted files, what would be the proper sequence of flashing? Should I install the B003 boot.img first, hope that it boots into fastboot, and then flash B003 recovery.img in fastboot mode? How do I even go about installing B003 boot.img? Through SRK tools or adb? Or is this all too risky, and I should not even bother with B003 OTA files while I am still on B002?
Thanks again!

Hi Sam!!
I recovered my huawei unlock code and tried to relock the tablet, after having resetted it to factory (remember I still have custom rom).
After putting the tablet in bootloader mode and typing the following command on sk tools:
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (my unlock code)
I get:
....
FAILED (remote: stat not match)
finished. total time: 0.00 secs
I also tried "fastboot oem lock xxxxx" but it says "command not allowed".
Do you have ideas? I am blocked there...
Thanks!!

Hi,
You can achieve this by following methods.
Method 1
Since you have TWRP
you can flash the stock firmware from TWRP and it should lock the bootloader, unroot and then overwrite the twrp with stock recovery.
What you need?
For this method you need the stock firmware zip files and firmware finder app from google store.
Method 2 (risky, not recommended)
Download SRK tools by somboons
From here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66627615&postcount=2
Unzip the file
Open the application
Then on the main screen, you will have plenty of options to type 1, 2, 3, etc..
Just type 000 to enter the command prompt here.
Once you are in that command prompt you can type the adb commands.
to lock the bootloader you need to type
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx (just check this command. I think
xxxxx is your bootloader unlock code (yes you have to use the unlock code here again)
this will relock the bootloader.
now to unroot
you can just flash stock firmware using dload method.
How?
download the stock firmware
extract the update.app
put this update.app in a dload folder in sdcard.
you have to create this folder on sdcard and name it as dload.
then you can use the code from dialer pad
*#*#2846579#*#*
from there select SDcard upgrade.
It will reboot and flash the stock firmware. You no longer have root. It will also overwrite the twrp recovery with stock recovery.
I would recommend the method 1. It is safe, easy and should complete the desired tasks within no time.
Method 2 has lot of steps and there is risk involved so I cannot recommend this procedure as confidently as the first one.
I have the Huawei Mediapad M3 LTE version and also Huawei Mate 8. There are few similar functions in Huawei devices.
So now the question is where you will find the stock firmware?
You can find the stock firmwares using firmware finder app in google store.
From here -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder&hl=en
Install the app.
Open the app
It will automatically find the right firmware's by detecting your tablet model.
All links might not work
So check the one that is working and download that firmware - preferably full firmware.
You will get the zip files if there are two or just one.
then you can follow the method 1.
Hope this works out for you. Hope you find this information useful. :good::good::good:

ok
so your root doesn't seem to work
you don't know if you have custom recovery
you are using EMUI 4.1
1) do the factor reset from the settings > go to -> Settings -> Advanced settings - > backup & reset - > factory data reset
do this - it should take few minutes
2) then -> developer options - > turn on "oem unlock" and " usb debugging " - on
3) please download the srk tools - I think I gave you the link to that software in my previous posts - > please download - extract keep it ready.
4) open the SRK tools - > type 000 in the place where it asks you to type 1 or 2 or 3 .. - you should get command prompt
5) Now press volume down button and hold .. and then connect your tablet to computer ( you have to enter bootloader mode)
6) now we need to lock the bootloader - so run the adb command ( for this you need to put the tablet in bootloader mode )
fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx or fastboot oem lock xxxxxxx
yes you will need the unlock code and in the above command replace the xxxxxx with your unlock code.
lock your bootloader.
7) it will do factory reset - and then your bootloader is locked.
Now at this point you have bootloader locked and you have normal firmware but since you want to go back to stock rom
I am still not clear about the build number. Can you give me the build number ? its in settings - > about tablet - > mine is BTV-DL09C100B006
Model number you and I have the same version. BTV-DL09. But it is the build number which matters.
I checked the firmware finder - unfortunately it is not giving the full firmware - only ota updates.
so the factory reset in the first step above is very very crucial.
The other safe way to get the firmware is through Hisuite
for this you need Hisuite software - you can either go forward to B009 or if it is giving you that option to switch to earlier version then you can go back. But I highly doubt it will give anything. So just try to go forward with B009 ROM.
try all these steps... see if you can succeed to any extent. In the mean time I will try to search for full firmware and if I do I will update this reply or give a new reply.
My name is Sam Hope this works out for you. Don't worry if this doesn't work then we will think about alternatives. But these are very important steps. Good luck. :good::good::good::good::good:
Cheers!
Sam
Update: After going through some of the threads on xda I came across one russian website
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=780572&st=0#entry54523165
you can check the firmwares. They are all custom firmwares. But I am not sure if the version is compatible. check if your tablet buildnumber is BTV-DL09C100B006 or BTV-DL09C233XXX . that is something you need to be careful.
update2 :- http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
this link contains all stock firmwares - but they are all OTA and not Full package.

Yes it is very risky. Please proceed with caution or don't do it at all as these steps are risky and can turn your tablet into brick. I say this because we are not getting the right set of files to test properly. We don't have the rollback package or stock ROM so the situation is precarious. If anything goes wrong, it would only increase your problems. For going back to Stock all you need is Stock Recovery & Stock ROM and unroot.
You are in stock rom but rooted. You just need to flash the right recovery.img file using SRK tools. Please check my previous posts on how to run adb commands using SRK tools. You have to do this in bootloader mode. Fastboot or bootloader mode are one the same. You need only recovery.img and that should be flashed in fastboot or bootloader mode. Check the Russian site http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php this has B003 firmware
For the moment it appears like there is only one way forward if nothing else work for you. I hope you have seen the Greatslon ROM files in the other threads. You can download his EMUI 5.0 it looks gr8 and seems to be stable from what I read. He has uploaded all the required files for his ROM. Have a look and see if it interests you.

You and I have same tablet version. I bought my tablet on Amazon.de. Please make a note of your steps and how your tablet responded. Based on that we can see how to move forward. It will be really helpful to know your experience.
To both of you @danibyte27 and @asianpianoman
Please be careful while handling these .img files or any system files. Flashing wrong files or any mistakes or errors during flashing can be detrimental for your tablets. There is huge amount of risk. So please proceed with extreme caution. Do not proceed if you have doubts. Please do not hesitate to ask if you are in doubt.
It appears that Greatslon - Android Nougat ROM seems to be the best way forward. As you have seen FULL Rom is not available anywhere. So that complicates things. Going back to stock ROM seems to be very tricky for now until we get the right Stock ROM and other important files.
Please check all my posts. If you like my posts and find it useful. Please don't forget to press :good::good::good::good::good::good::good: for all my posts This will help me a lot and it is a kind of encouragement for my efforts. I appreciate your feedback.:good::good:

Did you put the oem unlocking - ON & usb debugging on ?
1) check the bootloader - take a photo and see if it is showing phone locked or unlocked
hold volume down on your tablet for 3 seconds and then connect to computer
update : Can you check if your unlock code is correct?. it says "stat not matched" please check the unlock code.
risky steps
[[[try fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxx even if it says your phone is unlocked. ]]]
[[[then fastboot oem relock xxxxxxxx]]]
if this doesn't work
then flash the recovery of your current firmware using
use SRK tools - go to command prompt - type the below command ( this recovery.img should be in SRK folder )
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I would suggest you not to go back to stock. Please try to move forward to greatslon EMUI 5.0 ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-greatslon-mod-t3489232
Please check this link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=125388 he has uploaded all the files.

Hi Sam,
I think I'll follow your advice and don't try to install stock image until I find a clean and reliable solution

It appears he didn't upload the EMUI 5 ROM for BTV-DL09C100 in that link.
However, he uploaded EMUI 5.0 on this Russian forum
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=780572
But those seem to be for C233 and other versions.
So I think it is better to check with him on the other thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-greatslon-mod-t3489232 and see if it is ok to install C233 on C100. It is his work so I feel he is in best position to answer this question . :good::good::good::good::good:

Hi,
Hope you remember me.
Finally I have some good news for you.
Some wonderful person found the link to download the Stock ROM & Rollback package in another thread.
here is the link
http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/search/index.htm?keywords=btv-dl09&t=SupportSearch
Go to this link and download the Rollback package and then do the dload method. You will come back to Stock ROM and your bootloader will be locked again. Download both files. Site is in Italian, you can translate it to English. This is the file I was talking about in my previous posts. It was uploaded by Huawei only on March 30th.
This is straight from Huawei so no risk at all and very safe.
They also have the B009 firmware so you can use dload method again and update it to that firmware. After that you can do whatever you want
I hope this is useful for you.
Cheers!
Sam :good::good:

[ROOT][TB-X505X] Rooting Lenovo Tab M10 TB-X505X

This guide is now obsolete. Please check my new guide. It has a custom recovery for this device as well as a rooting guide. Refer to this guide only for installing adb and unlocking bootloader.
This rooting guide is for the Lenovo Tab M10 X505X only.
I plan to work on a custom recovery for this tab as well and probably a custom rom in the future.
So please consider donating so that I can keep up the work.
Donations
Google Pay
This will work only on the version "TB-X505X_S001037_200718_ROW". Check it in the Settings > System > About Tablet > Build Number. If it is the newer "X505X_S001038_200819_ROW", do a factory reset and make sure it is the "TB-X505X_S001037_200718_ROW" before proceeding.
Once a custom recovery is made, OTA updates can be applied without losing root. So do not update the tablet until a custom recovery is developed for the device. I plan to develop a custom recovery for it as soon as possible, so please support me.
Anything that goes wrong in this tutorial is not my responsibilty. Proceed at your own risk.
Downloads
patched_boot.img
Step 1. ADB and Fastboot Installation [If adb and fastboot are already installed, skip to Step 2]1. Download the platform tools for your OS from this link.
2. Extract the zip file and place the contents in a folder "platform-tools".
3. To confirm if adb is working, open a command prompt "platform-tools" and run the following command.
Code:
adb version
If it returns the adb version, its done.
Step 2. Unlocking BootloaderWe have to unlock the bootloader inorder to root the device.
Warning: Unlocking bootloader wipes data on the device. It is recommended to backup your data. Proceed at your own risk.
1. Now in the tab, goto Settings > System > About Tablet. Multiple tap the "Build Number" till the developer options are enabled.
2. Goto the developer options and turn on the "OEM unlocking".​3. Power off the device.
4. Turn it on by holding Power Button + Volume Down. Once the screen turns on. leave the power button but continue holding the Volume Down button until the fastboot mode is shown.
5. Now open a command prompt in "platform-tools" and now run the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
Your Bootloader is now succesfully unlocked.​Step 3. RootingNow to root the tab, download the "patched_boot.img" from the top of this post. Copy the file to the "platform-tools" folder.
Make sure the tab is still in the fastboot mode. Otherwise go back into the fastboot mode as instructed before.
Now run the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Congratulations, you have rooted your tab.:highfive:
To complete the process, run the following command.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Once the tab turns on, goto this link and download the latest version of Magisk apk and install it. It is required to control the root privileges for other apps.​That's all. You now have a rooted tab.:victory:
If this helped you, hit the thanks button.
And keep tuned for new stuff that are to come for this device.

Thanks for this thread for the TB-X505X.

Have a look at this post for a TWRP that works with the TB-X505F. It might work for the TB-X505X, provided the X505X uses the SDA429 soc. That version of TWRP is unofficial and does not decrypt the data partition.
If the X505F version of TWRP works for you, then you won't need to patch the boot image - you can just install the Magisk update.zip in TWRP. This saves you from having to release a new patched boot image every time there's an OTA.

With the TB-X505F/L, TB-X605F/L and TB-X705F/L we've found that you need to uninstall Magisk to apply OTAs. This is because Lenovo's OTA updater scripts verify you have unmodified boot, system, vendor and firmware partitions. So make sure you backup these partitions as stock.

I gave a look at the TWRP image. Unfortunately, X505X does not boot into the recovery image. It would have been great if it worked. I guess it is because of the different processor, as you mentioned.
It is the same for X505X as well. OTA cannot be applied without uninstalling Magisk. So I guess OTAs are a no-go until a custom recovery is developed. The latest update is also just a boot image patch. So there is no way to use magisk on that.
Thanks for the advice.

Guys, i tried the above mentioned method but my device is showing (can,t load android system. your data my be corrupt. if you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device) after performing a factory data reset the device reboots and the welcome menu shows up after 15-30 seconds the device automatically shut down and again shows the same message (can,t load android system. your data my be corrupt. if you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored onnn this device). this goes again and again......
