I tried to update my phone to the latest version. I hit install from the notification, my phone reboots goes into TWRP recovery.... does nothing, then I have to "reboot into system" and then the phone boots up like normal.
Without updating to 6.0.1. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how to fix it?
I think you can't update the phone with official update method (Settings/About/System Updates) when you have unlocked bootloader and root.

You must return to complete stock, including recovery, before attempting an OTA update

As mentioned above, you can't use the traditional method of updating if you are are rooted and have TWRP installed. You will need to flash the images manually with your PC in order to update. There are multiple ways of doing this, but the easiest way I've found takes about 5 or 10 minutes and is documented elsewhere on this site, but long story short:
-install and confirm that ADB/Fastboot works on your PC and can see your phone
-download the latest image directly from google
-unzip the downloaded file on your PC and then unzip the file that was just extracted into your ADB folder
-edit the "flash-all.bat" batch file to remove the "-w" toward the end (to prevent wiping your data)
-put all extracted files into your ADB / Fastboot directory.
-connect your phone to your PC, power it on or reboot it into bootloader mode, and run the batch file that you edited (this will put you back to stock / unrooted)
-re-flash the twrp recovery image using fastboot
-re-root (install SU.zip using twrp).
That's my preferred method, and once you have everything setup (ADB / Fastboot working & factory image downloaded) is should only take a couple of minutes to perform.
As mentioned before, this is well documented elsewhere on this site. I may have missed steps or left out information as I am writing fast because I am currently at work.
Good Luck!
Thought to create a clean post about this error that you can't update ota on unlockedboot loader
MAIN PROBLEM WHEN YOU TRY TO OTA UPDATE BOOTLOADER JUST OPEN UP AND FAILS!!
HOW TO FIX??
FOLLOW THIS METHOD IT WILL 100% Help you
(This method works for not only HTC but also other majority mobile phones).
PROCESS!
1)Download the OTA Update which is available for your device
(Settings->About device->Software Updates)
2)After Download connect your device with usb cable to pc or laptop :good:
3)Now no need to find OTA File on your Data folder
4)Directly open your "Download" folders , here you go
5)Copy ota zip file to your pc and open it with winrar you will find "firmware.zip" open it and you can see "recovery.img" or "recovery" (its actually .img file)
-Switch phone off and POWER+VOLUME DOWN and press fastboot and connect your usb so you can see "FASTBOOT USB"
6)copy recovery.img to ADB Folder and follow simple steps ->"
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
"
7)Follow that step if you are 100% sure your device works properly with ADB if not install all drivers for your device and try ->"
fastboot devices
" so you can see a codes with numbers(that means your device is proper working with fastboots
----------------------------------------------------------PROCESS OVER WITH PC/LAPTOP-----------------------------------------------------------
(come back to mobile)
Process with your device now!
1)Power up the device
2)Wait for few min/sec it will sync with downloaded ota & you can see your OTA Update is ready
3)Choose install now
4)It will install the ota update it will reboot 3-4 times (no panic)
5)It will reboot normally all apps will be verifed
--------HERE YOU GO YOUR DEVICE WILL BE UPDATED-------
Note :-
1)Recovery will be changed to STOCK Recovery , You can flash TWRP/CWM if you want after the ota updates
2)Same process for other OTA Updates
3)Sorry for Bad English , This steps are really very easy if you follow it properly Thanks for Attention
4)HIT THANKS BUTTON :fingers-crossed:

thanx very very very very much pro you have realy fix a big problem for me
Thanks...
Thank you very much...
Searching and trying different method for 10 days. this guide saved me and my phone is back to stock again. you are great.
How to unbrick or get back stock on your Huawei Mate 8. There are many reasons why you would want to do that.
In my case my device (AL10) was stuck at "your device cannot be trusted" after updating from B180 to B321.
First I got to thank acer73 for his software. ajsmsg78 and Kris Chen for their links to the right ROMs.
Also thanks to DarkSilentSC for his help, especially with the L29, great support.
He has a L29, which I don't have, so I'm glad he provides help with that device.
This worked for me on my AL10 to get it back on track, should work on other models too. Just have to find the right ROMSs as according to your model. However, I am not responsible if this does not work for you or if it bricks your phone even more.
And remember: don't forget turning on usb debugging whenever you can!
Unbrick (return to Stock)
1. Find yourself a stock ROM.zip according to your model and extract from the zip the update.app (I used one from a B172 (AL10) Stock ROM, I was running a B180 custom ROM, it worked.)
2. Download the Huawei Update Extractor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
3. Extract boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and cust.img with the HuaweiUpateExtractor from the Update.App you find in the ROM to somewhere where you can find them easily
4. Head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rayglobe-italian-knife-t3295526 (You can also do it with fastboot commands, but Acer73's tool makes it easier)
5. get yourself the Italian Knife (btw you probably have to turn off your anti-virus program), extract it in a directory on your PC and start Rayglobe_knife.exe
6. Put the images you have extracted into the folder Unbrick (same directory where you extracted Rayglobe Knife in). The folder was created after you started Rayglobe_Knife.exe
7. Boot your phone into bootloader.
8. In the Rayglobe Knife tool choose Unbrick and choose the option where it says you have placed all the images in the unbrick folder.
9. let the magic work. The phone will restart and it will probably take 15 minutes, make sure its charged enough.
After all that I quickly updated to the latest Stock ROM version, in my case B321, which you need to do if you want to flash later a custom B321. See second post if you want to do that as well or continue with unlocking the bootloader.
Now lets get the bootloader unlocked (for some reason mine was still unlocked)
1. Get Minimal ADB https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
2. Hopefully you still have your unlock code (cause you need it otherwise it won't work)
3. Put your phone in Bootloader Mode (Press & hold power and volume down)
4. Extract Minimal ADB zip and run command.bat
5. Type <fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (where xxxx is your bootloader unlock code)
6. Done
Now lets get twrp set up
1. For that we need minimal ADB again
2. Headover to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-mate-8-t3298567
3. Download TWRP according to your EMUI (For B321 it's EMUI 4.1)
4. Place the image in the directory of the Minimal ADB
5. Rename it to just twrp.img (not necessary but simplifies things)
6. Put your phone in Bootloader Mode (Press & hold power and volume down)
7. Run command.bat
8. Type <fastboot flash recovery twrp.img>
9. Then type fastboot reboot
10. Now you can hold volume up and power until your phone boots into TWRP
11. You need to format data (you'll lose everything on your phone)
12. Done
Remember: don't forget turning on usb debugging whenever you can!
!!!FOR L29 scroll down to DarkSilentSC's instructions!!!
After unbricking I quickly updated my AL10 to the latest version, in this case B321. Should work with all B3xx
1. Head over to Kris Chen's thread (this I used for the AL10)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-verison-t3324164
Or ajsmsg78's (also AL10 and L09)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66776194&postcount=58 to get the Stock B321
2. Download the ROM and after downloading the zip file, extract update.app from it. Copy the UPDATE.APP to the internal memory of your HM8 in a folder called - dload (you may have to create it). Then press [volume+]+
[volume-]+[power] together to force the update.
3. Voila B321
-----------
!!![For the L29 you should try DarkSilentSC's instructions, which you find below or in post #54 on page 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/unbrick-updating-to-b321-t3375934/page6 don't forget to hit thanks!!!
1. Start from stock B170 firmware with TWRP ready
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY, SYSTEM from B321 UPDATE.APP
3. Add firmware .zip file (which contains META-INF folder and UPDATE.APP) and place it into internal storage
4. Make sure internal storage data is fully backed up
5. Delete All Accounts in Settings
6. Go to Recovery, Wipe Cache, Delvik Cache, Data, System
7. Flash that .zip file! (Getting errors is okay at this time) [This is what I didn't do before!]
8. Boot straight to bootloader
9. fastboot flash boot, cust, and system
10. let it boot. Let it proceed with encryption process in chinese and fully boot into EMUI
11. NOW I'M AT EMUI 4.1!
12. Reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash insecure_boot and flash TWRP
13. Reboot to recovery (TWRP) and then flash whatever rom you want to place in!
14. Enjoying it!
Great, was looking for details instructions like that, was stuck at cannot be trusted screen

But you first used different ROM images to unbrick and then tried to update to B321.
really sounds as if your file is corrupted. Would try to download it again

ok i will try tommorow......thanks for help by theway the phone booted but if i flash recovery for root no boot.... very strange....sometimes aloud to flash from boot some times no ohhhhhhh(((
Or something no correct with huawei extractor..... Can you provide extracted files?
Thanks in advance.
So I unbricked with B170 and then tried force flashing B321. My first attempt at flashing B321 ended up getting stuck at 5%. Tried flashing again and it said it was incompatible with the current firmware version of my phone. Any ideas on what I should do next?
Edit: Nevermind. I mistakenly copied the UPDATE.APP from B170 to the dload folder instead of the one from B321. lol
Now on B321. Thanks!

Don't know which ROM you used to unbrick.
But seems that you used an B321 if that worked for you and you have no problems then that is great.
Could mean that wet can unbrick straight with the most current ROM available. If someone else could confirm?

hello, my phone is still stuck.. i tried other cust/system/recovery/boot from other update.app, but its still stuck at: your device has been unlocked... im on l29
Have NXT-L29, downloaded stock L09 file from posted link, placed UPDATE.APP into 'dload' folder which I created, but still hanging at 5%. What to do?? Exactly where do I create this 'dload' folder? Just at 'Internal Storage'?

Bootloader has to be unlocked. You can unlock best with DC unlocker, it's fast and only costs around 5 dollars.
Unless you already have your unlock code then you can unlock following instructions see my first post

I've tried the relock.bat provided in the unofficial bootloader unlock/lock thread but I keep getting the bootloader unlocked warning. I also downloaded and tried installing the stock ROM mentioned in https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=peSI-KeEt5E&time_continue=23 but the window just closed itself so I manually flashed recovery, boot, system and vendor images using twrp. I then booted and installed the April security patch update but I got random soft-reboots in the process.
Can anyone guide me to restoring the device to locked condition? (4GB ram variant)
Update: Noticed that these reboots occur as soon as app installation is over. Disabled app updates for now

You should lock bootloader only on stock recovery without root and with no system modification (like uninstall of system apps, property file change).
If you lock the bootloader with custom recovery or modified system then if OTA messes up boot or any other partition .. you have no way to fix it.
Also .. only locking the bootloader will not fix OTA .. as any OTA patching boot.img will mess your Magisk anyway .. so keep bootloader unlocked if you have modifications.

Thank you. I forgot that Magisk patch the system.img. In old days superSU just modify the system partition.
I want to relock the bootloader only for the irritating Warning message at the startup. Is there any way to stop that message like moto G?

Recommended to UNLOCK unofficially - using this Guide.
If you have unlocked officially then you will not get OTA update notification.
To update (if you are on stock system without modifications like TWRP, Root etc..),
Download full firmware from ASUS official site ( ZBL601KL OR ZBL602KL ) and try to unzip it once to check for file errors.
If no issues in unzip then keep the file in base path of Internal storage.
You will get a message like System Update file detected (if not then reboot and check).
Select the notification and authorize to update. DONE.
To revert back to Stock from Custom roms - use this GUIDE or follow the method in this thread

Hey ! Today i will give you all the different ways/steps for root your Mi A2 easily.
+ How to manually create patched_boot.img for your version (beta...) without extrernal help.
Code:
Your warranty is now void.
We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead
SD cards... Please do some
research if you have any concerns about features
included in this GUIDE before using it! YOU are
choosing to make these modifications.
Summary
- Part 1 : Install drivers and unlock bootloader. Credit to @balazs312
- Part 2 : Root with 2 ways
- Bonus : Backup boot.img and make patched_boot.img
- Part 3 : OTA
Part 1 :
So, First you need to install drivers and unlock your phone bootloader. Skip to part 2 if already done.
1. Installing drivers & Preparing PC
- Download this and extract it
- Open and install "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe"
- When it is done, go to "Drivers" folder and start "miflash_unlock.exe"
- Click on the gear icon top right corner and click on "Check" next to "Click the button to install the drive"
- Do as the installer says
- Hopefully the drivers has been installed so we're done with it, let's head on the next step.
2. Preparing phone for unlocking
- On your phone navigate to Settings->System->About phone and tap the build number until you see "You are developer"
- Go back once and you'll see a new menu called "Developer options"
- Tap on it and search an option called "OEM Unlocking", enable it
- We're done here. Let's keep going
3. Entering fastboot and unlocking bootloader (MAKE A BACKUP of your data!)
- Hold your power button down, tap on restart and hold your volume DOWN button while it resets until you see the Mi bunny doing its thing
- Now we're in Fastboot mode, hooray
- Download this zip and extract it on your PC
- Open it and type "cmd" (without the quotations) in the file manager header where you see (This computer>somethingsomething>Mi A2 fastboot), don't be afraid just type it in, and hit enter and you'll enter into command prompt
- Now we are ready for action
- Type these commands one by one:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
After this, you will see a warning message that your bootloader is unlocked and your data is not safe, blah blah... Just ignore it everytime you power on your phone.
Part 2 :
So there are currently two ways to root his phone. Let's start with the first.
Methode 1 : We will use the new temp twrp. Method by me.
1. Download files...
- Download this TWRP.
- Place it in your adb folder.
- Download Magisk-v17.2_a and Magisk-v17.2_b.
- Copy these 2 zips in your phone internal storage.
2. Check current-slot...
- Plugin your phone to you pc
- Navigate to your settigs on your phone.
- Open Developer settings
- Enable Usb Debugging
- A pop up should appear on your phone scren, hit and box and autorize the pc.
- on your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "adb reboot bootloader" , your device should reboot to fastboot
- type "fastboot getvar current-slot". Remember if the result is a or b.
3. Root using temporally twrp
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- On your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-jasmine-20181020.img"
- Your phone now reboot into twrp, it down't flash it, so after a reboot twrp will be gone.
- If twrp ask a password for decrypt data put your phone PIN and validate.
- Click on install and select Magisk-v17.2_a if the result in Step 2. is A, and Magisk-v17.2_b if result is B and swipe to install.
- Then select Reboot.
Now you have Magisk 17.2 installed on your phone, and twrp is gone after reboot. You can select beta in Magisk settings and update to 17.3 if you want.
Methode 2 : We will use patched_boot.img.
1. Where to find patched_boot.img ?
- Go here and check if there is your build version. If yes dowload the patched_boot.img file ( need to be on pc ) and skip to step 2. If not continue.
- If you can't find your correct build patched_boot.img (Because you are on the beta, and nobody share the file or something like that....) you can easily make your own using temp twrp. Go to Bonus part, make your patched_boot.img and continue.
2. Pepare files.
- Copy the patched_boot.img in your adb folder
- Be sure to rename it to "patched_boot.img"
- Download latest Magisk Manager apk here (currently v6.0.1)
- Copy the apk on your phone storage.
3. Install Magisk
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- Open a fastboot command prompt on your pc.
- Type "fastboot boot patched_boot.img"
- Your phone will reboot, put your pin....
- Go in your prefer file explorer and Install the magisk apk.
- Now open Magisk Manager app
- Click Install, direct install. Wait for the process
- And click reboot.
Now you have Magisk 17.2 installed on your phone. You can select beta in Magisk settings and update to 17.3 if you want.
Bonus
So, i will show you how to backup your current bot img. And how to make your own patched_boot.img, so people who are on Beta OTA can root there phone without any external help...
1. Backup the boot.img
- Download this TWRP.
- Place it in your adb folder.
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- On your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-jasmine-20181020.img"
- Your phone now reboot into twrp, it down't flash it, so after a reboot twrp will be gone.
- If twrp ask a password for decrypt data put your phone PIN and validate.
- In TWRP, click on "Advanced"
- Click "File Manager"
- Navigate to /dev/block/platform/soc/c0c4000.sdhci/by-name
- You will se a lot of files, and if you look you will see 3 important files, boot, boot_a and boot_b.
- Click on the "boot" file
- Click "Copy File"
- Navigate to /sdcard
- Click the blue arrow and swipe to confirm
- Click reboot
- Copy the file on your pc, and rename it to "boot.img" instead of "boot".
Now you have backup your stok boot.img you can use it for stock or whatever you want....
2. Create the patched_boot.img file
- Download latest Magisk Manager apk here (currently v6.0.1)
- Install the apk on your phone
- Open Magisk Manager
- Go to settings , click Update Channel and select Beta
- Return to home of Magisk Manager
- Click Install, then Boot image file patch ( don't know the correct typo because for me the app is in french, champion du monde !! xD ) and wait for the end of the process.
Done you now create your own patched_boot.img ! Enjoy !!
Part 3 :
So, now i will explain you how to install OTA when you have magisk.
- First, disable Automatic system updates in developer options, so it won't install OTAs without your acknowledgement.
- Open Magisk Manager, click Uninstall, then Restore Images. Don't reboot !
- Now Search for update and wait for the process. BUT do not press the "Restart now" or "Reboot" button !
- Open Magisk Manager, hit Install, then Install to inactive slot.
- Reboot when it's done.
If it don't work (strange) and ota failed, you can find your stock boot.img for your build version here, or backup your boot.img using the[ B]1.[/B] of the Bonus part and flash it using the command "fastboot flash boot_( your current slot) boot.img" (you can check your current slot with command "fastboot getvar current-slot).

What to do when Magisk prompts that "Stock Image does not exist"?
Couldn't find a folder to put stock image.

can you explain which part you try to do, and on which steps you got this error? for more support you can join telegram groups from the bottom of the guide.
*edit* you can flash stock boot.img for future OTA. check the Part 3 : OTA
Hi
Right now im on OPM1.171019.011.V9.6.13.0ODIMIFE (5 sept 2018) rooted with magisk
I just want to update and re-root, the painless style. I dont want to flash a ****load of stuff to have a functionning phone.
Can anyone confirm that step 3 is ok? Thats the same method than for MI A1, and it was only half functionnal, i dont want to play with fire.
After having killed the IMEI numbers and the persist partition of the A1, it took me 2 weeks to repair, I dont want to **** up this one too. Hell no.

this is safe. but if you want to can just use patched boot method.
I used the method described in Step 3 to install the September OTA (V9.6.13.0) and re-install Magisk. It worked like a charm, but I am trying to repeat the method to install the October update without success. The OTA updater downloads the update, and starts installing it, but it fails miserably every time.
I have even completely uninstalled Magisk and flashed the img from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/others/files/MiA2/
But It does not work, the OTA installer always fails.
I'm clueless, what can I do?

it's because during the ota process, the current slot change. but you can back to stock September ROM, then update. and after that root using my second post https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-2-minutes-magisk-installation-t3856980/amp/
