Well I had rooted my phone and I was on B190 and I got update for B200, I tried to use flash fire to flash ota update directly using TWRP but it failed, apparently you can only update using HUAWEI stock recovery and not only that you will lose root access.
I had LG G2 and Xperia Z3 unless it was major update (like lolipop or marshmallow ), I didn't lose TWRP or root access.
Am I missing something ? or that way it is in Mate 8 ?

Yes, for mate 8 every time the phone gets update both the system and recovery images are replaced so you lose both twrp and root access. If the update in some phones only requires some files replacement in the system partition then you will have twrp and may be root access.
This Guide is to update from B131 MM to B360 or B380 nougat. There's a new recovery with data encryption.
Realized today without issues in L09 EU, for L04 usa version only need the correct recovery stock versions , the other files are the same.
your bootloader must be unlocked first, and oem bootloader enabled....and in all the process not auto-blocked the bootloader never. Put all the flashable zips in SD.
Always put depuration usb on in dev options when connected to pc .
B360 EU update zip
B360 EU update hw
Download and install the android sdk tools, execute then sdk manager and only select and install android sdk tools,plattform tools and usb driver
Hisuite (for drivers)
I used Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v6.zip for all the process
If you have problems with the driver, you can install in multi tool - option number 0
1 - Unrooted from B131 with the option in supersu to unroot and the option to restore stock boot
2 - With multitool I copied the recovery b131 I have extracted from update.app to ...Huawei_Multi-Tool\USER\RECOVERY and then options 3(recovery)-1(My bootloader is unlocked)-1(Install users Recovery from folder /USER/RECOVERY/) and then space bar to confirm. Flashed and rebooted automatically
3 - Go to system update and apply the ota b360, updated to nougat correctly and then the B380...
4 - I copied now the twrp for nougat to ...\Huawei_Multi-Tool\USER\RECOVERY and then options 3-1-1 and then space bar to confirm. Flashed and rebooted automatically
5 - without enter pin code or nothing in mobile, in multitool options 3-1-2(Reload device to Recovery) , this reboot and enters in twrp, manually you allow modifications-change storage to sd card and flashed supersu and rebooted( now without errors)
6- open supersu and set it to expert mode
7 - installed jrummy busybox in system\xbin, busybox
8 - tested last version of adaway, tested busybox with lucky patcher.
9 - now, i have all that I want and seems to works with all the apps that require root,
UPDATE TO B380 IF YOU DONE THE OLD TUTORIAL TO 360
sadly, the old method i removed now gives problems to update to b380, the solution I found was revert to mm with intermediate update.app in dload(disconnect the usb cable when updating), then the full update.app b131, (make sure dev option to unlock bootloader is on) unlock bootloader, update to 360 and then to 380. Install latest twrp and root with supersu for emui 5. Then, busybox from jrummy works

6- installed supersu from play store and set to expert mode
7 - with app quick reboot, rebooted to twrp and flashed busybox, reboot and update binaries in busybox
8 - tested last version of adaway, set nova for default launcher in options

In dev options i see hability oem unlock greyed but activated (not possible to change it, someone knows why?) and system updates automatic activated that I disabled

It's nice to see a step by step but I have a couple of questions. The errors you got when flashing TWRP with the tool.. did they have to do with encryption? Meaning, do you have access to the data partition? Can you confirm that AdAway actually works? Every other post I see is that AdAway successfully installs, but fails to block any ads (my guess is because the hosts file did not get updated because it's not a full root you get when flashing supersu. Also, I've yet to see where you can relock the bootloader without fully flashing back to a full stock rom, which I have not seen a full copy of B360 available or even a process to do this yet.
Thanks!

I tested adaway now with blackmarket, you know if no adaway, when you close it, it popups an ad, now it closes without ad, like in b131 rooted, so it's fully working last version.
Only access to SD card, no data partition
I don't know how to relock, because I'm not interested in relock, someone knows and post it here?
I have updated the manual because of new great recovery , hope you understand it, if not,respond here

When I see the manual..... Did that mean I have to be on b131 with "intermediate update.app in dload(disconnect the usb cable when updating), then the full update.app b131" and only I have to unlock the bootloader and I will be able to update to b360 with dload method on my sdcard and then to b389, which is the official at this moment? After this I can install twrp and root if I want?

I think this manual is obsolete, because the new updates go to B402 and here b360 and b380. You must tell me in what situation are you, what version do you have now?

I bought the phone with b389 but I revert back to b131 using the official firmware and rollback package from the Honor website using the dload method, just to had the impression to use it under MM . Now I would like to update to Nougat, like was before. My phone is not rooted but I am considering to unlock the boot loader and root it.

the MM version was very good and the mobile works very well, but now in b402 the nougat works very well too. I encourage you to put the last version.
I remember when you put the intermediate version, then you must put in sd the full rom update.app b131 and start the honor touching 3 buttons and updates automatically.Then you have MM.

How to update from b131 to b402? If I download manually the b402 could I installed in the same way, using the dload folder on the sdcard like install MM ore they have to be some firmware between them? My phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
When I see your manual I understand I can update to b360 using the dload folder on the sd card but before that I have to unlocked the bootloader. It's that correct?

the bootloader can be unlocked at any time, i recommend to use the update through mobile to last official, and then to unlock bootloader and root. for example if you decide to stay in MM and unlock bootloader, when you decide to go to nougat, the bootloader locks itself another time when passed the b394 , from b394 to the last b402 do not lock it.

Could I update to b402 offline, like I revert back to MM with the firmware and rollpack package for the b131?

I recommend online, because possibly, to update correctly must need to be incremental updates throught updates online to last.
Recently picked up a P8 from someone who had one lying around.
I'm trying to root it but after installing TWRP i keep entering a bootloop which apparentely is counteracted by holding some combination of buttons.
currently im on B222 and i also tried installing marshmallow (stock) from SD which also makes me enter a bootloop and when my phone finally turns on its like it forgot it had a command to update.....
I'm a little lost on what to do now, i tried googling and all that but i cant find similar issues.
You cannot install Marshmallow with a B222 build, so you'll first need to downgrade to a B200 build.
If you are on a C432 (European) build, you can download European B200 directly from Huawei via this link & install it: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=68483&version=238533
Once B200 is present, if you check via Settings > Update you'll most likely be offered a Marshmallow OTA update. If not immediately or within a few days, then update manually as you tried before, again using a C432 build only.
With Marshmallow installed, you can follow one of these guides to install TWRP & root:
[Guide][Huawei P8] TWRP + Root Systemless Marshmallow Installation (GRA-L09&GRA-UL00)
Rooting and Unroot Huawei P8 [6.0] [FOR All EMUI4.0.1] all [GRA-Types]
Hi, I have an Axon 7 2017G with an unlocked bootloader, twrp, and root. Now I have the stack rom V1.0.0B09 and I have some OTA updates to do.
How I have to proceed if I want to update? There is some issue if I will update with TWRP or with an unlocked bootloader?
What is the procedure to have the last rom and, at the same time, maintain an unlocked bootloader, TWRP?
Thanks ,
youngz
Find a firmware thread, download what you need and flash in twrp. You don't get ota now.
Ok, so, if I will able to find the updates (also from the zte website?), can I flash them with TWRP? Have I to perform all the steps or I can install directly the last update for my device?

Use raystef66's thread. Download a stock recovery from there (for example some Nougat stock recovery) and the latest stock ROM. Then flash the stock recovery through TWRP and reboot to system. After that go to Settings - Updates, and it should find the update, just le tit update
Hello Guys,
i have april version of the Os + Magisk...
of course flashing the may ota doesn't work
i have tried uninstalling masgisk with magisk uninstall+twrp but received an error 1...
is there any method i can use to flash that OTA ? does it exists in TWRP version that i could use or something ?
Do you locked bootloader? With unlocked bootloader you cant update via OTA
