Updating with OTA after root.

I've a rooted Mate 8 (NXT-Al10) with Build No. B368. Recently the set notified about the update of B386 and I tried to update, but as it was rooted, the update was unsuccessful.
I checked my set after that and found two .zip files ex: 1. Update.zip and 2. update_data_full_cn.zip are downloaded to my set.
Now my question is can I just use my TWRP to flash these two files to get the latest update or is there any other process for that?
Thanks and regards !

I think u need to change twpr to stock recovery.
Then use dload method to update.
Please someone to accept my answer.
Cheers!

Yes you have to install the 2 zips in twrp.

Thanks @bodzio3333
Thanks @gm007
But, two different reply from two persons, don't know what to do ?
I fear if the twrp update fails and set might brick.
By the way where can I get the stock recovery and what is the process to install it?
Thanking all, once again !

Twrp for nougat

Hi everyone my device is huawei p9 lite L31 and I installed the unofficial update, after that I found out some apps are missing and the TWRP aswell so I can't flash nothing.
I would like someone to tell me which TWRP I can install and how please.
Thank you!

TWRP for Nougat doesn't support mounting of the /data partition at the moment, so there is nothing you can do about it. You should have flashed the update + data in the first place. All you can do now is unlock the bootloader, flash the oeminfo for your device and downgrade via the 3 buttons method. Next time, in TWRP for MM (which does support /data mounting), you will flash update + data for Nougat which I still can't understand nobody does.

Btw when I wanted to update I flashed both files and I think that the update wasn't complete with all files and system apps already.

Something went wrong, then. You should be able to find oeminfos in some thread here on XDA, otherwise google is your friend. Just be careful what you flash because you MUST flash the correct one for your device and locale

Use the same unlock code you've used before, get it again.
And why are you using that build B300, you could have at leasT tried B336, which in my opinion isn't having any problems noticeable, battery drain also good...people complain about this, but if you know what you're doing this will never be an issue.

Thanks for the response, I'll try tomorrow, i've already forgotten and deleted the code. Actually, it's all misunderstanding on why i flashed this build lol. I am planning to revert to MM stock and i'm still looking for some guide on how to. I tried other methods and didn't get luck. If you have any ideas would you mind helping me again? Thanks!

Yeah I've already seen this and i'm not sure on what to download, i tried once but it says
"software install failed!"
"Incompatibility with the current version.
Please download the correct update package."
and i can't still unlock my bootloader, the website is new, and it won't redirect me to unlocking SITE from this thread LINK.
also just wondering, in this method, is it require to unlock the bootloader ? thank you so much for helping me.

This method don't require unlocked bootloader, don't require TWRP.
Just get the rollback file and full MM update file.
Install rollback first then MM file after, put the extracted update.app files In the dload folder on root of sdcard, one by one after each install
Or
If you don't want to use rollback file, unlock bootloader, then flash patched oeminfo file via:
1.fastboot using this command: fastboot flash oeminfo xxx (xxx= name of oemifo zip you have, ie. fastboot flash oeminfo C432oeminfoDual.zip)
Or
2.while In fastboot flash revolution nougat recovery, then boot into it by "vol up + power" then flash the patched oeminfo,
Then once flashed OEMINFO then install via 3 buttons mode the update.app of your firmware, this must be in dload folder on sdcard as above.if asked for password then use "reset"

LOL, lastly, i just have a question to revolutionaryTWRP, i tried it once when i was having problem with ROM, and it couldn't even mount internal storage, but for other people i saw here in xda, they can even flash zip files from it. just wondering if there are other Revolutionary TWRP versions or it's all about the tutorial on using RevolutionaryTWRP? anyways, thank you so much again. and how can i tag this thread as solved by the way?

Edit title to solved.
The current TWRP by Revolution for nougat can't mount /data partition, and if you need flash anything there, you've got to change filesystem as advised In the tutorials, but you can flash mods or apps to system partition without problems....this problem is In nougat TWRP only currently, MM TWRP has no issues at all...anyways good to hear your sorted!

Thanks for the helpfull information.
I have the files for BND-L24 uploaded and want to share same method of restore , for US version. As the method is the same.
Would it be ok to link to your thread from a new thread with L24 files attached , or add the backup here and just change the title?

All the post I see about manually flashing Oreo say you CAN NOT return to emui 5. So I would believe no
**EDIT**
I see now on firmware finder there are roll-back to emui 5.1 full-ota packages.
right now only for
BND-AL00
BND-AL10
BND-TL10
but perhaps after flashing that full ota to get partition table back , then follow this method from here to get correct regional specific parts back.
All still untested at this point

Suppose if I install Other rom first like AOSP or RR?

I have no first hand information. Just that for RR you need to first update to Oreo, so same as before, the information at this point is, NO , roll-back is not able.

What if you used recovery and went to stock but you don't have system updater and when you try to update firmware it keeps failing is there anyway to fix this on my bnd-l24?

Your other post show you are on Oreo. This method, files linked are Android nougat.
You need to replace twrp with stock recovery, then wipe cache from there. This should fix your bootloop ,caused by wipeimg cache in twrp. Unless there is more to the story than you tell.

Well it twrp is not staying on, then fastboot will have to be the method to recover
Hope this will work
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
If those not work, or not allowed try
fastboot -w

the downgrade is tricky , if not done with full downgrade files. It is pretty much a half full update, then restore a backup. There are many things that could cause trouble with this.
Did you try to factory reset after failed OTA?

How to go back to stock rom?

How do I go back to stock rom? I'm currently using Rei's LineageOS 14.1 of CodeOfHonor, with Meticulus' TWRP installed.
My original version is VNS-L31C636 Dual Sim. I have tried searching in the forum to no avail. All the instructions I've found are either too unclear or lacks more details. I don't want the risk of bricking my phone right now. I'm familiar with the dload method but I'm not sure enough of what files to flash etc.
I need your help, good sirs. Thank you.

Is there any other way for going back to stock? I have a limited data plan and it would cost me so much data for downloading Marshmallow firmware and then OTA updating to Nougat.
