Update question

Hey guys, a long time ago i unlocked bootloader of my ALE-21 5.0.1, rooted it, and installed twrp. Is there any way i can update to android 6 now? My mom has the exact same with me and she got the OTA. Thanks in advance =)

What's your full build number: ALE-L21CxxxBxxx - i.e what are the x's in bold? And from which region / country?

Extract the files...
Then put the update.app file in folder named dload and copy that to your local storage..
After that, power off your device and then hold vol+, vol-and power key for atleast 10 seconds..
Then, the phone should start in installation mode..
Note: Check the update.app file size.. If its gratee than 2GB them the above process should work. If its less than you can do it by OTA...

amangeek, being a rooted phone, I don't think that is a wise choice. Unroot first, & then perhaps yes.
----------------------
Anyway RautMike, if you have done as above & everything is fine - well, great.
If you haven't attempted yet, do as advised in these threads instead - similar situations, so apply the same principle:
How to upgrade Huawei P8 lite [rooted+twrp]
[P8Lite] Twrp + official update
I couldn't find the full version of C432B188 firmware to download, which is required to extract the recovery file(s) needed. So, if you cannot either, you can extract the necessary file(s) from B170 (one firmware before) - the full stock rom for B170 can be downloaded from here directly via Huawei's servers.

Did you not read the threads I posted? Just follow them - no TWRP needs to be used in those methods.
Doing it that way you'll lose root, so after updating to Marshmallow you will need to re-root by reinstalling TWRP (for Marshmallow) & SuperSu: TUTORIAL - Huawei P8 Lite Android 6.0 Marshmallow B574 Root

Yes, you're right - I forgot about that!
You can get it from here perhaps: Install TWRP Recovery, Backup Full System, Android Rooting and Recovery Back to Stock (works on both Android 5/6 + L21/L23 models)
If that doesn't work, a 'forced' update does apparently (could be risky though, so make a full nandroid backup with TWRP before attempting): [INTERESTING] Updating system while rooted
Also, according to the op, "When you install update by this method, you lose TWRP, root access and all what you have flashed by TWRP."

Alright, thanks, before i flash the stock recovery, how should i make an backup? I already have one of system that i made with twrp, is that enough?

Oh, anyways, all good Thank you very much, i just flashed the stock recovery with no problems, so happy lol, thanks again!

I have a ALE-L21C55B181 (Italy brand TIM) with TWRP, root and superSU.

Install nougat with firmware finder?

HELLO.
I see update firmware finder (Firmware Finder Proxy).
I ask if anyone has tested?

I got B336 ota for L21C432 too. Maybe it's safe.
Make a backup first (oeminfo is important!!!)

HELLO
It does not work for me, I must be bad.
Firmware finder tells me ota l31c432b336 00mb.
............. b335 00mb.
I think that is not free in France for the moment. I have to wait update ota beta-test for that to work.
I think for ota beta-release releases (c185b331 ......), it must work

Yes on the pc it goes well.
But not on the phone.
I will reinitialize the phone and start again because I uninstalled the application and clean the sd card it does not want.

Yes. Does this work?

It's better to wait until you get it from the OTA updater, not from FF proxy. At least if you don't wanna brick your phone

Update via OTA Axon A2017.

Hey I bought an Axon 7 A2017 from China and I just figured out that it doesn't have OTA updates because the buyer installed a multi-language OS that prevents OTA .Please I want to know how to enable ota or a way to update manually to the latest android Nougat . Can you please give me a simple method because I'm a real noob in flashing and unlocking smartphones. I want only to update the stock OS to the latest android version and then root the smartphone in order to install some root required apps.
Thanks Folks.

Any help please ?

I don't have the chinese version, but you have to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, then you'll be able to install the stock ROM. Try to use bkores's axon7toolkit
Also try searching for this (in Q&A), I'm 100% sure this has been asked at least twice before. You could've gotten an answer much sooner if you had tried to find an old post that asks the same

Not guides, just people who asked this already. This is really common.
Or you can just go the easy way and try using the axon7toolkit, it will ask you what model it is, and you can put A2017

Thanks my friend for sharing this information.

process is the zip file for b013. unzip and place on root of an SD card. Then trigger system update via system updates in settings. Phone will detect the file. then it's a domino effect after that of updates. Current one is 7.1.1

Just update to B13, it doesn't matter if the latest OTA doesn't appear, you'll probably need to install more than one OTA. Also, if you'll do it this way don't unlock the phone until you get the latest version.

I bought a used Axon 7 A2017. It already has TWRP on and the model number is reported as ZTE A2017 in "About phone".
Currently it's on Android 6.0.1 and I can't update from the settings menu. How do I update to latest Android?

not sure, I'm not a rooting man. I need my phone to be stock. certain apps do not run if you root a phone

You can use a flashable system zip and use it on TWRP, I think DrakenFX made some for the A2017. Otherwise you need to flash the a2017 stock recovery on it (with a flashable zip like tron1's or drakenfx's) and then use the update feature on the phone.

stock recovery

hello,
can someone provide me with the stock recovery from my Huawei P10 Plus?
I'm running F/W version VKY-L09C432B123 (if that matters).
Thanks in advance.

You can go to hwmt.ru and search up your model and version for the correct update package, then use the huawei package extractor to get the recovery img.

I try to get the official stock recovery, because I want the official updates. I have TWRP installed now. But I need the right stock recovery. I was looking for one for my software version, but I can't find it. I only see B120 and B125 but I'm running B123. If you know where to find it, please link it. If it's safe to install the recovery from one of the versions B125 or B120 while I'm running B123, just say it. If not, what are the differences between B120, B123 and B125?
Thanks in advance,

Check what Huawei authorized this rom to you. If not you will get error and ROM will be deleted.
In case of not authorized, you have to use other method, but it requires unlocked bootloader and factory reset

Good.
This guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
P.s. Backup first!
P.p.s. Huawei posted only two files in this ROM. HwOta method needs 3 files, so have to change script.
Changelog says that it is Rollback from Oreo.
Can you use Huawei Update Extractor to extract package_type from update.app of biggest archive and watch what is in?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

So downloading the files through FF are useless?
