Apply update from SD card right? That's what I selected, then selected "update.zip". At 25 percent it gives me the sideload error

B05

Are you unlocked bootloader ?
Try using the packages from DrakenFx with twrp.

Maybe install aida64 and confirm model number is p996a04? Others are reporting this issue here though :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70734522&postcount=69

I don't use custom ROM, unlocked OEM unlocking for the reason of updating through recovery

Ahem, maybe another idea : did you turn on OEM unlock before flashing? (Nothing related to BL or anything complicated, just a toggle).

Yes it's turned on. Or else it wouldn't even begin the update process let alone abort it

I tried that update package, gave me the same error code as the first one
I feel like I forgot to turn on something.
OEM unlocking is turned on, is there something else I forgot?

Hello
I think the first Step ist in menue Factory reset and reset Cache. when you do this tick oem unlock and usb debugging.
next step minimal adb command window adb reboot bootloader . Next in command Window : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from your Update.zip .
shut down the Phone. Start phone with push Volume up and Power the same Time. In recovery tick update from SD Card.
Wait after doing this ! When OK tick factory reset in recovery and start the Phone.

Any Luck!
I am facing the same problem and all my attempts to change A2017G into either A2017 or A2017U failed! Can someone help us here?

Can explain carefully? I don't really get it. I don't want to use custom ROM.

Hi,
i had recently the very same issue on a A2017G with B03:
Updating via "update" in settings -> after the countdown "Preparing for update" nothing did happen - not even a reboot.
Update via update.zip in recovery mode - (did not matter if it was a partial or a full update) did not work. (I got the same error about that sideload thing in your screenshot)
I got it to work with:
Recovery mode, FULL update.zip ~2.5gb on a SD Card and before launching the update did a wipe cache partition AND wipe data partion.
Yes its sad because you have to backup all your things but its working
Good Luck!

Full update means a full rom image - it would be about 2.4GB big!
OTA are mostly incremental updates which are about 250MB to 400MB big.

Hello everyone, today for the Honor 6 Plus is a new OTA is the C432B571 some people have jumped him via OTA and others not so you can download the update I put and upgrade to the latest version which is the PE-TL10C432B571.
Instructions: download, unzip and copy the folder dload update.app in SD.
LINK http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v55895/f1/full/update.zip
Awesome..!! This is just like the B190 OTA update for Honor 7.
So they are updating the Lollipop version for their devices too, this is the first approach like this I have seen.
This is an update improving mm is passed from the B560, B571 this new update

Damn, any word on when h6 gets this?
I'm on the PE-TL10C432B560 but when I tried to update it gave me "FAILED TO UPGRADE" and I was forced to restart my H6+.
Did you get the same error?
I placed my update.app in a dload folder, inside my External SD Card.
Thanks in advance

Have you stock boot and recovery partitions? No root?
If you have, you must remove Supersu (select full unroot), flash stock partitions and then do the update.
If you don't have root, consider first and foremost a backup with Huawei Backup. Then download the zip file from here and follow the instructions.

Thanks a lot mate!
With the link you provided I was able to successfully upgrade my H6+
Anyway I'm still official, no root, no unlocked bootloader.... strange considering that I lost my MotoG1 warranty after a week
Thanks again
I have downloaded the zip (didn't extract it) and i have created /dload file in internal memory and put that zip inside it, then i have open updater and select that zip and my 6+ enter in installing mode, but it stuck at 99% and it doesn't continue, someone knows whats wrong with it ?
You should have extracted it.
Extract the zip file unitl you have an update.app and put this into your dload folder. Then try updating again with force update method. If this doesn´t work

Hello Zinko_pt,
I have the PE-TL10C900B331 and my phone shows me the PE-TL10C432B571 to update. If I run the automatic update it is not working. At 1% the installing stops and phone reboots.
I tried the german site with the zip and force installing but it is the same
Could you help me? No root phone

First I would try to get an update file that I could check its integrity either by MD5 or other form of verification. That would ruled out corrupted file cause.
Second, I would backup all my important things with native Huawei backup app into SD or PC. The I would perform a factory reset and setup just the Google account and Huawei ID if your ROM has one. Also setup HiCare app. Make sure all are updated. Then try to check update and if it works, great, if it doesn´t then try force update.
Only after update I would restore backup.
May I please ask what are the changes in this update? I am a huawei honor 6 plus user.
Thank you in advance for your response!
Does this work on PE-TL10C185B561 ?
As i worked on the steps but it stops at 5% although there is enough free space & battery charge

Thanks it works! Factory reset was needed. I think the problem was, that I encrypted the phone itself before.

From my experience, encrypted phones don´t go along with automatic turn on/off and updates.

Hi
my device run on PE-TL10C185B510, does this update work and what new features it will add?

[SOLVED] How to unroot, relock bootloader and flash EMUI ?

Hello,
I tried to flash the RessurectionRemix ROM and it was working well except the LTE so I decided to get back to EMUI.
Problem, i took the backup of bluesmoothie and flashed it but the phone never finish to boot.... (I didn't wipe anything, i thought that the restore function of TWRP was doing everything, am I wrong ?)
Moreover, the TWRP recovery can't access the content of my ext sdcard where the RR ROM is located and even if i put this rom to internal storage, i got the ERROR 7 (this is for deive: can; you have generic_a53)
Do you know what can I do to :
- Come back to EMUI
- Unroot the phone
- Re-lock the bootloader
The files of the TWRP backup are located on the sdcard, if i wipe data/system/cache, will it delete these files ?
Infos :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP of Garak (but still have ERROR 7 now)
Thank you very much
First you need to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. After that you need to put the update.app in a folder called dload in your internal storage.

Okay but where can I find the stock recovery ?
Then, do i have to flash it via ADB like i did with TWRP ?
After that, where can I find the "update.app" that you are talking about ?
If i'm right, you're telling me that i can't go back to EMUI without flashing the stock recovery ?
That is correct. First use firmware finder to get the update.app. There is a firmware extractor tool for Huawei firmware. Use it to extract the recovery.img and flash with fastboot.

First of all, thank you very much for your anwser, it's very kind of you.
If i understood everything, that's what i have to do :
- Download one of the Huawei firmwares with Huawei Finder (Better get the B100 or another one ?)
- Extract the recovery.img with the update.app from Huawei Finder
- Flash the stock recovery with ADB
Then :
- I put the update.app that i get through the Huawei Finder in the dload folder of the internal storage (If i flash the stock recovery, will I be able to put files in the storage ?)
- I reboot the phone in recovery and normally, it should install the EMUI rom
At the end, my phone will no longer have a custom recvery, bootloader unlocked and root status ?

Yes, that's correct. But you have to put update.app in dload folder on your SD card as far as I know. That's how I did it.
I couldn't find B100 on Firmware Finder and I've got relocked bootloader on Nougat.
Yes, you will need to copy the update.app to internal storage in TWRP, then flash the stock recovery. After flashing you need to hold all three buttons when booting (just like getting into TWRP. After update you will have no custom recovery, no root, and it should lock bootloader.

If it doesn't boot, then boot in recovery and do a factory reset and then it should boot. It happened to me and that's what I did.

When i boot into recovery it's displaying "eRecovery" and ask me to download the new update of recovery but it fails when getting the package. I can only reboot and turn off :/

You shouldn't have that message anymore.
Are you sure that the update.app got installed? @wangdaning told you to put it on dload folder in internal memory. I don't know if that is right or if it works, but I've put it in dload folder on sdcard when I've installed update.app.

The problem is that the phone doesnt finish to but anymore... i can't do things in menu.
When you talk about SD card, it's the external sd card ? Because i don't have access to it anymore, but i have the partition SD Card
When you installed the B340 update, you seen the percent growing up and had a "success" message ? Because, for me, the update is stuck at 5% and then it reboot the phone

Yes, I mean external sdcard.
Reinstall TWRP and restore bluesmoothie's backup and then flash the stock recovery again.
I didn't have any issues with installing the B340 firmware. It was installed successfully.
Try to follow the steps I've used. You shouldn't have any problem.

Okay i'm going to try it right away
My external sd card doesnt show up anymore when i connect it to my PC, i don't know why
I mentioned internal SD card because you said your external was not recognized, but you might try putting the dload folder on external. I have done it both ways. Sometimes the update through stock recovery is finicky. If it doesn't finish run it again. Also, make sure your USB is disconnected, as may Huawei users have mentioned this causes it to freeze. If it still fails, try dloading a different update from firmware finder.
Did it work?
I didn't have so much time these days but I did it and it worked for the 1st part (flash bouesmoothie's backup). Tomorrow I'll do the final step! Thank you again
Here I am :
1 : flashed stock recovery from B350 and i don't have the "unlocked" message anymore !
2 : The update B350 made it, "update success"
3 : It doesn't boot for now
4 : The boot doesn't end
-----
1 : flashed TWRP recovery, launched a factory reset in the same time
2 : Phone booting again on B100
-----
1 : flashed stock recovery from b350
2 : flashed b350 update
3 : Everything is fine !
Thank you for your help !!!

Hello
it's easy to understand.
huawei needs the recovery stock to install.
so, just delete twrp.
To do it just with adb and fastboot, flash recovery.img of your version.
** control / fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
now, download your ota update.
he will install it.
or you can find recovery stock, In the update.app (open with huawei extrator), recover the file you wanted.

just connect the phone to the pc, hisuite turns on, and press click on update system.
For me, it works, b160 he offers me b370 and then b380.

I said my last words with you.
I still have a solution.
I will put the firmware vns-l31c432b394 the latest on my google drive.
Like, you could install twrp and the root.
I suppose you knew how to return to MM (c432b160). ok for you.
so,
since, vns-l31c432b160, bootloader code, install twrp for MM, went to wipe, check all except SD card and wipe to wipe. back, back, go to install, install update.zip and install the data full l31.zip.
reboot.
There you go.
problem will be a little longt, it takes time to send it in google-drive.
he tells me 8am so tomorrow I give you the google-drive link.

Hi, since i'm not confident with adb/fastboot commands, i'm asking help for restoring the original firmware and recovery in my MLA-L11.
I've downloaded the two files from Firmware Finder (i'm sure 100% they are the right one) but i don't know how to proceed. Anyone can help there? Thank you

Hey!
You have to go back to EMUI 4.1 by restoring a TWRP backup and then you will update to EMUI 5. Ive used the following process on my CAN-L11 and worked fine. It should work on all models. @virusdunil has followed the same process on his MLA-L03 and everything went fine.
Let me know if you experience some trouble during this process.
Go back to EMUI 4.1 (MM)

2) You can put the backup to internal memory or sdcard, After you've chose where you wanna put it, take a backup of boot.img with TWRP to internal/sdcard (where you wanna put the backup), so you'll get a folder with this structure: TWRP > BACKUPS > FPFDU16A20001907 (you'll have different number I guess). Then you'll put the twrp backup folder (which you have downloaded) in that folder with numbers
3) Boot in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache from twrp > wipe > advanced and then you restore the backup from TWRP > restore (restore only system + data + boot). Then you reboot and you're good to go.

Now update to EMUI 5 (N)
After youve downloaded the stock firmware using Firmware Finder, you should have two files:
- update.zip
- update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip (example)
Backup your internal memory as it will be wiped at step 8).
1) Extract update.zip. Then you get UPDATE.APP.
2) Download Huawei Update Extractor.
3) Open Huawei Update Extractor, choose UPDATE.APP from the folder where youve extracted it. Right click RECOVERY.img and extract it.
4) Now boot your phone in fastboot mode by pressing and holding the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
5) Type in terminal / command prompt on PC to flash the stock recovery which youve extracted at step 3):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
6) Reboot.
7) Put update.APP in a folder called dload on your sdcard.
8) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade. Now EMUI 5 will be installed, bootloader gets relocked and internal memory gets wiped. Now wait about 5 mins (maximum 10 mins). If the phone isnt booting within that time, then boot the phone in stock recovery by pressing and holding power and volume up buttons and choose "Wipe data / factory reset" and then "Wipe cache partition". After you reboot, the phone should boot. Skip the setup wizard.
9) Remove update.APP from dload folder from your sdcard and extract the other zip (example update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip) and put all the files/folders extracted in dload folder.
10) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade.
11) You are done.

You have to go back to EMUI 4.1 by restoring a TWRP backup and then you will update to EMUI 5. Ive used the following process on my CAN-L11 and worked fine. It should work on all models. @virusdunil has followed the same process on his MLA-L03 and everything went fine.

Hi robert, i succesfully downgraded to MM and restored (i guess) stock recovery. But when I try to upgrade to nougat via sdcard upgrade the phone can't find the update.zip file.
Maybe the problem is my phone believe he is a CAN instead of a MLA, and don't recognize a MLA update.zip file?
If that is the case, you need to use the firmware extractor and "fastboot flash system system.img" to get your build.prop back. That would get your device to recognize as what it is.

I found the issue, I had to unzip the update.zip tp UPDATE.app file in dload folder. The phone got bootloop at first flash, but wiping all solved the problem. Now i'm back to stock with proper build number, thanks @wangdang and @#Henkate for your support :victory:

Hey!
I've got your PM, but I see that meanwhile you've posted here and you made a new thread too... You don't have to make so many posts, a post or a thread is enough to get the attention of someone.
In your case, the phone model is MLA-L11 and C185/C432 is the build number as far as I remember. You can check the build number in Settings > About phone. I don't know if there's any other way to check, if you're on other build number now and you don't know which one was yours.

Hi
I've managed to backup EMUI 4.1, however I'm getting error message "software install failed" trying to update EMUI to 5.0 (pops up, every time when it reach 5% progress).
Any idea how to fix it?

Steps #9 and #10 do not work for me ("Software install failed"). But I wonder if they are necessary after all, because Product Id, IMEI, Build-number (and of course EMUI-Version and Android-Version) are stock again.
And isn't "update_full_CAN-L01_hw_eu.zip" supposed to be included in the "update.zip"-file? I thougt "update.zip" allready delivers every part of the ROM.

I want restore the stock firmware of my L23

Hello, the problem is what i want restore my Huawei p9 Lite vns-l23c212 but i have installed the EliteRom and the TWRP Elite, so i dont have the partitions (cust, vendor..) and not have a backup of that.

I want help from us, sorry for the bad english, im waiting ur comments
Hello,
use rollback method.
First revert your DATA filesystem from
F2FS to EXT4 using TWRP, then follow guide
in UNIFIED HELP THREAD..
Here the link..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/unified-help-thread-huawei-p9-lite-t3649152
Read carefully, you need L23C212 rollback...

Yes, the rollback package will give you
c900 global firmware. From there install
B160 for dual sim, B161 for single sim..
When you will stay with this firmware,
update using updater stock or use Firmware Finder..
Follow the guide..
Regards..
Edit: sorry B160 and B161 are firmware persent in C432 Europe area-
Dont know the one for your cust/region (C212).
Let google do the work for you..

Hello,
according with the guide you flashed
wrong package...
You need FULL OTA UPDATE package, it must be
1.7/1.9 gbytes in size wich cames with data..
Flash new one or repeat the whole process.
I found this firmware on internet,
but do not assume any responsability.
If you want give a try here the direct download..
Check it with an antivirus/antimalware software..
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92443&version=361914&siteCode=mx
If all will go in the right direction at the end
reboot to e-recovery (vol+ + Power)
and make a factory reset.
Hope this time will work..
Best regards

Hello, I have already downloaded that file and I already flashed it but the compilation says that it is C900B130 .... instead of C212B130, so how do I change the cust to C212 ?, because with the other I can not receive the update of emui5, and if the effort with the Finder Firmware gives me the NRD90M test keys.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Hello man,
really dont know if i badly explained..
My friend to bring back to MM
you have to strictly follow the guide i posted you..
So you need VNS-L23C212 rollback package then
extract update.app, create a "dload" folder in SD and
pur in it. Turn off and proceed with three buttons method*****
When finished you will have C900 firmware..
(that's a LIMBO firmware)
Delete update.app from SD card...(not dload folder)
Now take tour VNL-L23C212Bxxx firmware,
extract update.app, put in dload folder in SD card
and repeat with three buttons metod.
If all take right direction at end of flash, after booting,
reboot to e-recovery (vol up+ power button) and make a factory reset. Now you have MM firmware..
That's the guide say...
*****= vol up+vol down+power button until It start flashing
That's all my friend...
The other way is to flash L23C212 oeminfo.zip (if you find It)
with TWRP, then VNS-L23C212Bxxx with dload and three
button method. At the end factory reset..
Best regards

Hello dear,
We will try to make your last one work
system, ie the L21C432B504.
Do you still have access to the system?
Do you have access to TWRP?
Do you have access to fastboot?
You have tried to install the oeminfo file
and this may have closed the bootloader,
so I invite you first, even if it says that it is unlocked, to re-unlock it,
but not before you have made backups of your stuff, as a factory reset will be done.
Reply me when you ready ...
