Hi M3 users,
I'm a long time lurker and reader on XDA. Now it's time to give something back or at least participate
Following my recent M3 purchase a dugg a bit deeper into this topic and tried to get us the stock recovery for our devices.
I'm not really a dev. I just used the information I found here and in the russian forum where greatslon (thank you guy) is posting his work.
If you find an error in the process please let me know. The files have not been tested in any way. I have no idea if this would even work (encryption and so on).
So I managed to extract the recovery.img file from the chinese rom. This method will also work for the LTE variant.
Maybe @greatslon or @somboons can share their view on the topic or maybe @somboons can even use it in his tool.

Process
1. Start firmware finder (did use the android version)
2. Change device to BTV-W09C233
3. Downloaded the firmware B019 for BTV-W09C233 (no firmware for other variants present ATM)
4. Extracted and copied update.app to SD card
5. copy to PC
6. Extract recovery.img and recovery2.img using Huawei Update Extractor

Don't quite understand what's this for. First of all, recovery should be the same version as your ROM. I don't know if their mismatch will immediately lead to some malfunction, but some people on 4pda said they should match. Second - stock recovery's functions are limited to factory reset (wiping data, cache, etc.) and installing OTA updates. Without changing OEMINFO (and it's still unconfirmed), you won't be able to install any OTA except those, intented for your model and region, so again there's no need to install a higher version of recovery than your ROM is. But anyway, thank you for the extraction instruction.
P.S. I think there's no need to flash both recovery and recovery2. Recovery2 can be successfully replaced with TWRP and this combination is really great, cause you can launch TWRP by holding Volume Up button only.
And the only reason why you should keep recovery original is that it doesn't really wipe /data - it also creates some files there like custom.bin, containing your regional settings.
Hi Slavon,
Thanks for your highly appreciated comment. @somboons was looking for a stock recovery so I thought this might help.
Your given information are really helpful. I did not know that you could flash TWRP in recovery2 and replace erecovery Handy information.
I'm pretty new to the Huawei structure so always glad to learn something.
EDIT
A lot of good information can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/dual-recovery-honor-7-t3308398

Giving Back
Benjamin,
I've also been a long time XDA lurker. Most of the devices I have owned were mainstream and thus already had a very active XDA developer community; Even if root had yet to be achieved, there would be hundreds of messages on the topic.
It seems the Mediapad M3 is just getting started. I am a developer of over 20 years, but very little android experience. However, I have recently spent a considerable amount of time (about 50-100 hours) working with the low level ADB protocol source code. And I have rooted and flashed no less than 50 devices, everything from cell phones to Android TV devices to routers.
I'm going to take this device on as my first real dev effort in this arena.
I have a few goals:
1. Get working backups for people that soft-brick or need to revert (including myself).
2. Recompile TWRP for the M3 to confirm greatslon's work, and better understand the process.
3. Release a stock rom that's pre-rooted and cleaned up (not that there was a lot of bloat on my device).
4. Release a custom rom that's not MIUI (perhaps based of CyanogenMod).
Since I have virtually no experience, I am sure these goals are quite lofty and will take some time. But hey, you got to have a plan, and I don't have anything else to work on right now.
Let me know if you want to work on anything together, or if you need any help with anything development related.

Hey hey 0D0A,
I totally agree with you regarding the backups, I think once the first OTA update is pushed for the EU and US devices we have a good and safe way to go back.
Especially the US owners are struggling with greatslons TWRP version, that's the first thing we should tackle after the backup topic is cleared
I will contact you regarding possible work
Best regards,
Benjamin
can flash twrp via fastboot but get error saying and no recovery
hi, first thanks greatslon for doing the work on m3.
i seem to have succeeded in getting stuck and can't get it to boot into your custom twrp. adb on linux was working fine, but no longer. ditto for fastboot just get "waiting for devices" now. i switched to win10 and installed the hisuite app so i can use fastboot but still no adb. so i have tried to flash recovery and recovery2 but when i try to boot recovery i get error "Func NO: 11 (recovery image) ERROR NO: 2 (load failed)."
i then downloaded your custom rom and tried to flash the boot for that still no luck. i can't use adb so i am not sure how to just flash the custom rom with fastboot without being able to get into any recovery.
i did have this all rooted and working with your twrp but kept having issues with dpi and there was an ota update (b003) which wouldn't apply. so i tried to restore backup and it wen't south from there. basically now can't do much other than see the unlock "can't be trusted" page and bootloader.
any suggestions?
Desperately need stock recovery img, not sure exactly what when wrong, but it is stuck in a horrible boot loop. Tried Benjamin's recovery files and they seem to remove twrp and put it somewhat back to normal, but can only access the emui recovery and that fails to load the files. Put twrp back and tried greatslon's ROMs, they load but goes back to boot loop. Wipe and format everything, install my original backup through twrp recovery, it says it works, but again, back to boot loop... at this point I think I'm dead... any ideas, any word on the official recovery img? anything? Help!!
What device do you have? And what version were you on?

Hello, I am unlocked, TWRPed, and rooted, but am trying to reverse all of that. My build number is BTV-W09C128B002. Is it safe to download the stock recovery from the OP for my device? Or do I really need the C128 version?
Hello and sorry for the late response, you would need the matching version for your C128 device.
I may be able to extract recovery from an update, I have to look into this tomorrow.

Thanks! I have been able to use the Huawei Extractor to extract a recovery.img from OTA updates, but have been afraid to try flashing it. It has been recommended to hold off on trying that since that recovery.img is from an OTA and not a FULL update. Any thoughts?
Hi, All . . .
I believe it would be appropriate to label me as an intermediate-to-advanced newbie. That is, I'm not clueless, but there are lots of blind spots in my knowledge.
I just bought a 6P and while I've been waiting for my SIM card to arrive, I've gone ahead and rooted, installed TWRP 3.0.3-0, and made a few customizations here and there. One thing I don't understand is the significance of the vendor image now. I'm coming from a 6 where that wasn't an issue. Also, in the rooting instructions it indicates that one should "find the correct vendor image," without really indicating how one can go about learning which one is "right." In the end, I took the latest one I could find, because my phone did an OTA update and I simply reasoned that I should match latest with latest.
In any case, I want to install MultiROM and I keep running into this problem:
The MultiROM version of TWRP doesn't load. It hangs on the splash screen. The version it uses is 3.0.2-0, so I suspected it was an issue with that. I flashed the TWRP-only recovery version 3.0.2-0 after having no luck, and it wouldn't load beyond the splash screen, either. Finally, I re-flashed the stock system recovery and tried flashing both the 3.0.2-0 TWRP-only recovery and the MultiROM-integrated version, both without success.
Is there something about the move from 3.0.2-0 to 3.0.3-0 that makes a rollback impossible. Is it even necessary?
Re-flashing 3.0.3-0 solved the problem of basic functionality. TWRP comes right up after I do that. But I can't get the MultiROM recovery or the 3.0.2-0 TWRP recovery to work no matter what I try.
My phone says that the vendor version is N4F26J and my "build number" is N6F26Q, and I'm running PureNexus 7.1.1. Those two numbers appear like a mismatch to me, but everything I could find indicated that the vendor version I have, being the latest, is the right one.
What am I missing? Can someone with more experience solve this puzzle, or at least lead me in a direction where I know which questions to ask on my own and can get things to start making sense again?
I appreciate your help! Thanks!

Hey there,
Regarding your TWRP 3.0.2-0/MultiRom 3.0.2-0 and TWRP 3.0.3 issues, check out post #1152 in the official TWRP 6P thread. If there is an update to MR to support Nougat encryption, you'll just have to follow the MR thread or Github for updates.
Here's a brief explainer from my guide in the Nexus 5X forums about Vendor.img:
9. After updating my ROM, I get this message on every boot: "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer."
This warning signifies a mismatched vendor and system partition. The vendor partition was integrated in the system partition for previous Nexus devices but is now a separate partition that must be flashed for each Google security update. Download a factory image and update your vendor partition using fastboot so that it matches your rom's OS base. If you have a file explorer installed on your phone, you can determine which vendor.img is installed by navigating to /vendor/build.prop and clicking on the build.prop. The specific vendor installed will be a combination of six numbers and letters listed in all capitals (example: NMF26F) in the ro.vendor.build.fingerprint line.
Vendor.img is specific to each OTA and contains proprietary binaries for the phone. The phone will fail to boot if you mismatch the vendor.img with a different OS base. For instance, a 6.0 Marshmallow vendor.img will not allow your phone to boot on 7.0 Nougat.

Hope this clears things up for you!
Edit: Also, certain rom teams keep an up to date listing of vendor.img available on their websites. Usually this is detailed in the rom thread OP. Find a reliable thread and bookmark their vendor.img downloads, if not download the factory image each month and extract the img.

Your vendor image and build number do sound like they are mismatched. If you can't find the vendor image you need on XDA you can find the matching build on the Google site, download the whole factory image and unzip it and get the vendor image that way.
I believe TWRP 3.0.2-0 was buggy. I'm not familiar with Multi rom and I don't know why they would use that build. You should be using 3.0.2-3 or 3.0.3-0.
I personally wouldn't install a custom ROM before activating the phone. I know a couple people have reported in the past that they were unable to activate their phone on a custom ROM. Hopefully you won't have that issue.

MultiRom support for this device was released when Marshmallow was out. So MR33 is based on the Marshmallow branch and ships with 3.0.2. The developer just isn't ready to release support for Nougat 7.0 and couple that with the issues of TWRP 3.0.2-x. He's actively pushing commits to support Nougat.

Thanks for the input! I actually just got my card and some of the activation seems complete. (I got my voice mails and so on, but no data connection yet.) I didn't have a problem with the Nexus 6 on PureNexus, but we'll have to see how this one plays out. I'm not able to call over WiFi yet.

Hi,
My 6P is on 7.1.1 Stock Android and I recently unlocked my bootloader, downgraded radio to 3.72 from 3.78 since 3.78 radio was giving LTE issues on T-Mobile. And yesterday, I saw the OTA 7.1.2 update message, so I tried to install, but after re-start, around 30% through the installation process, it suddenly aborts to "Error!". The update availability message again appeared this morning, only to error out again the same way.
I didn't see anyone having similar issue, so wanted to post here to see what could I do.
Thanks

OTAs will not install if you have changed any partition. Think of OTAs like a puzzle piece. You can change one side of the puzzle piece by cutting it off to suit your needs, however you have effectively ruined the possibility of the next piece fitting into where you cut off.
Download the Full OTA Image and ADB sideload the OTA. This is the only present form of "OTA" that will install over any user modifications done to the phone. This process will not wipe your phone.

Thank you. Someone on reddit suggested another option of flashing the radio image for 3.78(which was the one for 7.1.1) and then to try the OTA - Luckily, he uploaded the 3.78 radio image file on gdrive, so I pulled it and succesfully was able to update to 7.1.2.
The issue is that as observed in other threads, only 3.72 radio is the only temporary radio image file which lets me have stable LTE connection on T-Mobile. So, if I want to flash back 3.72 radio image now, for future update I realize that I need to have a 3.81(tied to 7.1.2 build) raido image file as backup. Can you let me know if it's easy for a newbie to understand how to obtain the radio image file? I downloaded 7.1.2 (N2G47J) file from the URL you provided, and it contains radio.modem.img file. Is that it?
I was in the nexus 6p beta program. I am currently suffering the GOOGLE boot loop. Current build on the phone is N2G47i. Out of no where , the phone froze , reboot and just got stuck and never boot pass the GOOGLE boot screen.
I tried to ADB Sideload , but it would not take any file , be it OTA or FUll image that is older than March 8 , as the N2G47i build. is new than the official build. There is no new build newer than March 8 as far as i can tell. My phone is stock non root and bootloader locked. If anyone can assist , I would appreciated.

You can flash it with fastboot from bootloader (bootloader needs to be unlocked by the way) with:

Where radio.img is the radio you want to flash. Assuming you have basic knowledge on how to use adb/fastboot...

Try sideloading 7.1.2 public release: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-ota-n2g47h-f3bffaba.zip
Supposed to be the latest...
If the above doesn't work, try factory reset from recovery. If your bootloader is unlocked, you can try to flash a full stock image from Google site: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-n2g47h-factory-f1111327.zip
If nothing work, you should likely think about RMA your device.

Actually I mistype the build number. The build number I have is NPG47i. This build is dated on March 8. The official build is March 3rd , even though it final release was in April. SO I would need a build that would be dated higher than March 8.

If you still have a warranty you should RMA your device. Doing a stock OTA update when you are fully on stock with no modifications shouldn't boot loop your phone unless there is something wrong with it. These phones have serious build issues that cause them to permanently bootloop, seemingly out of nowhere. From what I've read people don't generally recover from the type of boot loop you are describing but good luck. If the phone isn't under warranty it's likely time for a new one. The 6P doesn't seem to last very long past the expiration of the warranty.
Thanks for the link

Hi, thanks for the url, that is really helpful. Also, I realized that, the file is also available in the unzipped version of Nexus 6P Image file. So, it was helpful for me to learn alternatives along with process. :good:
Alright. This is a harder brick than normal. No OS. TWRP installed. Made the mistake of changing file system to FAT from RAW, and cannot switch again because I get the error "Invalid partition selection"
Any help is appreciated.

I only have the OK option and after pressing it is seems the phone works normally yet I still want to resolve this.
@niirb Each months security update will come with a different vendor. So if your on the latest update of your ROM more then likely June's. You can always extract Google's firmware to get it. But usaully it gets posted somewhere in the ROMs thread. I use this site always gets updated . Flash the vendor in either fastboot or with twrp just select zip button to change to image so you can see the file in your downloads .

You didn't break anything. This is completely normal since the LineageOS update doesn't update the vendor image.
Anyone have issue updating to June vendor img? I updated radio bootloader vendor via fastboot said it was installed but didn't tried TWRP same result says it installed but to no avail any suggestions thank you.

Oh I get it now yeah the developer didn't change the title to represent the next month's update that's all. General rule of thumb after a week into the month updates should have the corresponding security update.
i am having the same issue, downloaded the vendor file and moved it to twrp. when i click twrp install i can not find the file, i moved the file a second time to twrp and it asked if i want to replace it, so it must be in there somewhere. i searched the files but did not find it. any idea where it is located? thanks
edit: i downloaded the vendor file directly on the phone. the file manager shows it in the phone dl file. when i open twrp/install/download it is empty?
i run sideload and get "zip file is corrupt!" this is in linux.

When you're downloading the file in the phone, it should be in /sdcard/download/ folder
But when you're navigating on TWRP, seems you're in /sdcard/twrp/install/download folder. Just go up from TWRP and see if you can see that download folder.
