my purpose is; the system is updated with missing files?
I checked B524 and B188, based on what I see, update.app in update.zip doesn't have all the partitions (i.e. system partition is missing). So flashing individual img files won't work properly.
Hello, the B188 was ota update.
It's the reason for why we need to downgrade before flash other's android version.
All is explained in the pdf inside the zip update
-B524 need B188 (6.0)
-B190 need B163 at least.(B170 is ok) (5.0.1)
-B008 need b136a. (5.1.1)
Huwaei explain all
But you can flash all the "full firmware" by adb but only full, also not the ota.
I just receveid an OTA update, but the installation stuck because the system is rooted.
I found the update.zip file on my Handy, but it contains some directory (Meta-inf, patch and system) and a big file update.app that I believe contais all the update file.
Is it possible to extract the file from update.app and then create an update that can I launche from TWRP? And if so how could I do it?
Thanks
You can't.
flash back a stock recovery.
After ulocking bootloader and root the OTA didn't work with original recovery that's why I wanto to create an update that works with TWRP
did you try?

Yes I reinstalled the original recovery that you can find in t he root package and I completely unroot the phone using the unroot command in SuperSu.
Then I launch the update but after reboot it stuck at 11%, so I create the dload folder in my handy memory and copied there the content of update.zip and then forced the update. In this case, after reboot, it load until 99% that it reboot, but the installed version is still the 170 and not the 188.
Here worked, from post #393 to # 397 and #400
Stock recovery in root zip maybe too old.
Edit:
Ops perhaps it work on full update packages.

Sorry, forgot link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8l...-lite-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3305550/page40
You need the Huawei Update Extractor Tool, and do the following:
Load the UPDATE.APP file inside the HUET
Extract boot.img, system.img, and cust.img, from UPDATE.APP inside the HUET
Flash the respective files via Fastboot
so if I am on Marshmallow beta, should I flash the recovery that comes with the marshmallow or the recovery of the B052 rom ?

If you have to, flash the B052 recovery... you can always flash the Marshmallow recovery if it doesn't let you update.
I only flashed boot.img, cust.img, and system.img, when I upgraded; didn't flash Marshmallow's recovery at all.
Don't think you can even get OTA updates on the Marshmallow beta anyway (even via a normal bootloader-locked device).
Sorry for my late answer but I was travelling only with a Mac and I couldn't use Huaweu Update extractor.
This are the file that you can find in UpdateApp 188:
00.SHA256rsa.img
01.crc.img
02.curver.img
03.verlist.img
04.efi.img
05.fastboot1.img
06.boot.img
07.recovery.img
08.recovery2.img
11.cache.img
13.dtimage.img
14.dsp.img
15.fastboot.img
16.hifi.img
17.mcuimage.img
18.modemimage.img
19.modemnvm1.img
20.teeos.img
21.trustfirmware.img
And also the following directory:
META-INF
patch
system
Which file should I install, I didn't find a system.img and there are two different recovery
Thanks
You should not install any OTA with TWRP...
Flash back the stock recovery, update, then flash the twrp again, it's way easier and more secure, than doing a flashable zip from an OTA update without knowing what to do with the file within.
The OTA updates usually doesn't contain the SYSTEM.IMG file you are looking for, it contains individual files and scripts to patch up the current system partition to work with the new update.
From the two recoveries you should use the RECOVERY.IMG (the one without the 2 in it).
But again, I do recommend to flash the original recovery(not the one in the update), do the update, and put twrp back.
Where can I find the original recovery from ALE-L21C432B170, so that I can flash the original recovery again?
TIA
I found the original recovery and flashed it then I did a complete unroot and tried again to do the OTA update but it stopped at 11%.
Is there a different way to update?
I have already unlocked and rooted my vns-l31, installed c185b360 also installed revolution recovery
I received an OTA update through system update B392
I downloaded it through system update
It's 3 zip files in Hwouc folder in sd card:
Update.zip
Update_data_full_public.zip
Update_full_vns-l31_hw_meafnaf.zip
What should I do?
It enters revolution recovery and it doesn't install the image and returns error
Should I try 3button method? And how to flash all the 3 zip files
Help me please
Thanks
Hello @thefarhad,
sorry if i write this but "it seems" you already know what you should do,
also it does not seem possible that update has arrived that way,
i mean official updates automatically installs..
It seems instead that you have downloaded it with Firmware Finder (full OTA-MF), isn't it ?
(If i'm wrong please just not consider this post...)
Now try to follow guide "how to update" you find here on XDA.. (use search, there is more than one).
My little suggestion: proceed by little steps like installing B380 first, then check if official one arrive, if not install B392 with FF.
P.S.: Read threads more than one time before doing anything, just in case something could escape you... only a friendly suggestion..
Regards
So I have just gotten my P9 Lite back from Warranty, with new mobo. Now I have version C432B170 installed. I want to upgrade it to EMUI 5, so B380(+) version(s). I have read that direct update from B170 to B380 is not possible and I would have to install B160 first. I would like to know, is downgrading from B170 to B160 via dload (SD card) just a normal procedure, or should I get myself some kind of a rollback package of B160. I'm talking about stock ROM for C432 (Europe) version ofcourse.
So to sum up, can I just dload from SD B160 version over B170(current), without any rollback package, with just normal Full OTA?
And... should I be rooted, or OEM unlock, anything like that?
I'm kinda new to Android and don't want to brick it again...and if anything, we can't get bootloader code from Huawei no more...
appreciate all the help.
Device:
VNS-L21 C432B170
It'd be great if someone could help me with the following issue: my P8 lite is on firmware B896 and if I force-install the transition package, I put into the dload folder and named UPDATE.APP, I get an error during the installation. Please tell me how to do the rollback and install the stock firmware, I don't know how to do it in ADB.
Thanks

You must EXTRACT from update.zip the UPDATE.APP, not rename it!
.
can you give me the link for the proper update.zip pls?
