Reverting back to Stock Recovery - Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers

HI,
I have a p10-lite dual sim WAS-LX1A.
I am currently on build WAS-LX1AC185B120, that firmware is from middle east region. I have Twrp installed and Rooted.
But now i want to get back to the stock so i can get official OTA Updates, BUT I am unable to find that firmware on internet, instead
i got one on firmware finder app which is WAS-LX1AC185B174, this firmware is also from middle east but its updated, so i was just asking Can I extract recovery from this New version firmware (B174) and flash it on older firmware (B120). Is there any chance? if yes then what is the appropriate process for this? and also will the phone be unrooted or not?
Your replies are most welcome.
thank you.
(Sorry for Bad English).

You can extract any recovery with HuaweiiUpdateExtractor from any FULL-OTA

I too have the lx1a and just managed to flash stock. I tried numerous filmware files using filmware finder but none worked for me. In the link below is where I got the filmware that worked first time I used the WAS-L21A and everything is working great!

Forgot to say, on the first boot it booted to erecoveey and said something is badly damaged! However I just rebooted and it booted fine.

Hmm thanks. What you did? Did you flashed complete firmware or just the recovery.img file?

You need stock recovery to be able to flash stock filmware.
Just do what Harlock1978 said then flash the recovery via adb, then you can flash the stock filmware.
PM me if you need any more help.

Maybe that can work? I can only tell you what worked for me.
All you need is stock recovery flashed and the download from the link above.
In the download copy the 'dload' folder to the root of your sd card. Then just force update and it should flash the stock filmware.

Extract stock recovery flash it via fastboot and use Service rom on link already mentioned and dload method with three buttons for full recovery. On that way your phone will be locked, unrooted, updated, brand new same as from store ?

If you have the same version which is listed in service roms, absolutely it doesn't important place where you live. I suppose it's version was lx1(a)C185 for middle east and all files for c185 are is suitable for your Country too. I mean oeminfo and sevice rom with mark c185.

Oeminfo bricked?
Hi, I have bricked my phone. I can flash a ROM as an example no I have flashed the Elite ROM v7.7 but the oeminfo is bricked. Because the build number says: elemental als the IMEI numbers are missing so it looks strange. My problem is I do not know my build number and I have no backup. So I know that my phone is a WAS-LX1 with 32GB ROM and 3GB RAM. And I am from Europe/Austria.
Can I use that Files here to fix the phone?
many thanks

HELP PLS! downgrade p8lite fail.

hello
i unlocked bootloader and rooted my p8lite, twrp is installed. im on 6.0 marshmallow and want to downgrade to 170, when i bought it it was on 171,but i want dual sim. the problem is how to unroot it and install stock recovery,than install b300. i tried already but it said no update.app found. what could be the problem. i had supersu on my homescreen could not delete it after unroot. i searched all xda and google for it but cant figure out what to do next. i realy need this badly to do,because i cant open anything on my phone its like a tablet. if anyone can help me wth steps to try. i will try again to unroot,install stock recovery nad try again to force update b300 "UPDATE.APP".
can i install 170 on b300 or it must go, b300-b190-b170 and than b534 6.0?
pls help and thanks
Make sure the name is "update.app" and not "UPDATE.APP" for me b170 worked just fine after that last night.
Also b300 does not visibly change anything. And install the b170 from the dload by boothing the phone while holding all the three buttons on the right side and release when you see huawei logo.
you need to flash stock recovery. Then flash v052 via fastboot commands. (info and links you can find here on xda). Then you can do upgrade through EMUI updater (by local update files) - info about upgrade to dual sim you can find here, on xda, again). Those are my steps, tried few times. Good luck.
Probably you need unroot the phone.
i fixed it. thanks anyways.

Upgrading to EMUI 4.0 via HiSuite ROM Installing option

Hello XDA!
My current build number is C636B170 and i want to install C432B550 Marshmallow update. I tried the "Local Update" option but it fails everytime.
The ROM Flashing option in HiSuite, can i install the update with that option? I would be happy if someone gave me an answer for my problem.
Thanks
You can't, either you wait for an official update for your Custc or you change your Custc (c636) to (c432) by
First: unlocking your bootloader
Second: download (c432b052) firmware and flash it.
Then download the b170 and local update it then you can download and update to b550
All the tutorial can be found in xda by little search

Ok. Thanks. I will try that out.
Unlocking bootloader means only my warranty is void, yes?
And after is there anything else i should know before doing so?

You have been a good help for me till now. Can you please help me with this too?
I flashed a ROM which is based to C432B052 but it kinda made my sim unusable for that ROM. And i was unable to local update either.
I want to know
1. A site where i can download official firmware for my phone
2. How to properly install it with fastboot (i can do it but i feel like i am missing something very important)
Thanks

you may lose your imei after flashing b052 but you will be able to restore it after updating to b170
btw your phone is dual sim or single sim ? from the build number you gave before it should be a dual sim, if it is then continue.
after flashing b052 download b170 and extract it then take the update.app and make a folder in the root of your device named (dload) and put it there. you should find the update in the local update.

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!

Stock recovery MM

Hi,
I'm on TWRP, I would like to flash the stock recovery for B560 (Marshmallow) in order to install an OTA update that have just appeared for me. Someone provide me with the file please.
You can find stock recovery in the UPDATE.APP for your device. Unzip it with Huawei update extractor. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract the recovery.img from your UPDATE.APP file. Then just flash it using the adb command line and you should be good to go
Thanks guys for your help, I've updated my phone through OTA successfully
Just one question, does the same recovery work with all the builds?
I also would like to know why I'm still on B561 meanwhile there is plenty of users out there on B890 and B88x... I heared there is some people who got EMUI 4.1 already, is there anyway to get it? I'm on North Africa tho.

Yes, same recovery works... I've been using the same old Lollipop recovery till now...
If your didn't get OTA and would like to go to that build then you could always flash your way through.
You can get that too, EMUI 4.1, here the link

It may not be as simple as one file.
You need to flash stock AL10 recovery.img.
Then you need to put the update.app from correct region AL10 stock firmware on your sd card. Switch off your phone.
Then hold power, volume up and volume down at the same time. Your phone should automatically update. If you get failed to update message, eg, it goes to 5% then fails, it means you have the wrong firmware. You have to keep on trying stock AL10 firmwares until success. Start with the right region first, like the region your in and then go from there.
Check somboons threads. Read the posts regarding your firmware. Also check SRK tool lod Chong version, also from somboons. That might be very helpful.

Sorry for late reply. What firmware did you have before downgrade?
Either way, you may not be able to use a recent firmware. Your best option is to find the same firmware you had when you got your phone, follow the instructions I gave you in earlier reply. Once your phone is working, you may have to manually update your firmware. Don't just use system update because that can create a lot of problems for your device. Just keep reading the somboons posts because there very helpful.
