[GUIDE][ROOT][UNIVERSAL] FORCE INSTALLING STOCK OTA UPDATES WITH SToCK RECOVERY

Since lollipop there is no manual update option in huawei updater and even the huawei stock recovery has no or less interface which has no adb sideload option. This became a crunch to flash the update which your friend got and which u dont.
This Method is Universal for all huawei devices
In order to apply ota update using this method , root access is a major requirement so be sure your device is rooted.
If u had twrp recovery , at first flash SuperSu package to root your device (Try systemless root only) .
After successfull root ,flash stock recovery from twrp and reboot system.
Step 1:
In my case b370 is the last ota i found for kiw-l22 which vsriram92 posted here . Thanks to him for posting the update before 99% users got their update :good:
Download the relevant update package (ota) which you need a relevant base package to install it on . Ex: b360 as base for b370 update
step 2:
just remember the path where u downloaded the package . Install Flashify from playstore or From Here
Select Zip file which is the third option in flashify .
step 3 :
Navigate to the path where u downloaded ota package select the update.zip (ota package).
flashify starts downloading the package to its path asks you for root access .
Grand Su permissions , Select Cwm recovery if flashify asks as the next option.
Now the phone reboots to recovery and starts flashing.
After the ota update , your device will be unrooted . so take a backup of your stock recovery by following below guide.
Enable Usb debugging and connect ur phone to pc.
navigate to adb folder and place twrp.img or recovery.img in adb folder ,open command window from the same folder and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or what_ever_its_name.img
now it temporarily boots twrp , take a backup of your stock recovery and then flash twrp for permanent install and then reroot ur device.
Happy flashing :laugh::good:​

it gets zip signature verification failed....the method is similar to installing the zip file directly from the recovery but that doesn't work unless zip signature is verified

You might have installed a zip which is not stock ota update . i haven't posted this without trying . I installed b370 with this method and made this live here .

This only for rooted phone ?
I'm having honor 4x unroot and I don't know how to install the ota file. Is there any way for upgrading a phone without root option and in my phone there is no local update option

Nope. It was there in EMUI 3 previously. Now, we can't unless it has only update.app.

so b370 is only for the ones who gave root access to their phones?

Like your contribution. Perfectly updated to B370.

Hello together, I tried flashing the B360 update for my L21 with this method but unfortunately I did not succeed. I followed every step but when flashify reboots to the stock recovery nothing happens. Just nothing.
I used the file for the L21 that I linked to in this post.
Any suggestions how to get it to work?

Are you on B350D0003 or some earlier firmware? I'm on stock B350, just rooted with Magisk+phh's superuser, and it doesn't want to flash that big file at all; tried flashing OTA update (200MB file) and it failed at 80%, causing a damn bootloop. Gah, I thought my old phone was pain in the ass...

I'm on B350D003. After I tried the OTA instead of the full package I came across the same problem with the stock recovery, but when flashing it from TWRP it did flash it, but exited with an error.
No bootloop but as a file was missing for the full update process wifi (and probably bluetooth) are not working.
If you are interrested to solve it, have a look here. It looks like there is a way to fix the problem and we are currently investigating.

TBH, I'm on a verge to start building LOS or PAC/Slim/whatever is properly maintained and fast for my own needs and ditch EMUI completely....
I'm searching for other firmwares now via FirmwareFinder, there is a probability that one is a leaked test or something like that, because it simply doesn't want to flash. If I find out something, I'll continue on thread you've linked, to avoid flooding this one.

Hi. Thanks for your guide.
I need to update my phone with several ota updates. I just need to repeat this guide's procedure until updated to the last ota or there is a better way to do that?

Missing some settings and system apks (Nougat B336)

I have the problem.
I miss app twin and private space from settings(it doesn't exist) also missed (Files and Huawei ID, but installed apks for them), how to get them without downgrading to MM and installing again?
Is it possible by extracting apk for those files and installing or by dload method?
Or will I get these things if I upgrade when next nougat version is available via 3 buttons method?
Please someone help.

You do not install it corectly (for Files and Huawei ID). You have to install both zip one by one.

I did like its written in badwolf's thread. Flashed with meticulus both zip files in order without reboot. But i flashed new files b336 for the first time not b328/9. And saw some more people missed some system apks and features

b336 still need update_data_full, It should flash somehow like this:
* twrp > restore OEMINFO_VNS-L31 ( only for non vns-l31 models )
* twrp > format Data ( only for nougat twrp )
twrp > install update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip
* bootloader > flash recovery_stock.img ( if dload flash not work)
flash update.app by dload
eRecovery > Factory reset ( not wipe data in twrp, it will wipe the update_data_full )

Hello. Thanks for respond but my bootloader locked after i used 3buttons method and cant unlock again with same code. It says invalid. What can i do now? Also cant get new one from huawei site says to check imei/serial code

Your former unlock code is okey.
Make sure your settings> developer option> oem unlock is enabled and do the unlock thing properly
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock your_formor_unlock_code
if it can't work, the response shoud be "FAILED (remote: password wrong)", not invalid.

Is it possible to have single apks for Nougat apps like Huawei backup and Huawei ID? Cause I had problem to install the data pack and I'm running B336 on my L-31 with bootloader locked. But I want to back everything up before try again with the installation...
Cheers.

Top right download full update it'll download once you hit that and remove the proxy but it won't get authorized when you go to install it.

Well the good news I see out of this even if we cannot install is that the update is finally coming after 2 months of the other versions enjoying it for that long. Hopefully it fixes the battery drain.

Thanks for the find! Your file sizes are off unfortunately, they should be:

Click to expand...

Likely you'd push both update.zip and the region specific zip to where the stock recovery is expecting, then from a powered-off state use the key combinations to force-udpate. I'm unsure why there are 3 zips this time though since B360 was only 2 zips, I haven't had time yet to look at the contents.

Just tried that too, boot, recovery, and system will flash but vendor fails. When I load to the system it still shows B360 but certain parts of the OS don't work -- can't access Developer Options, for example. It seems as if this package just doesn't work right.
Update: If anybody else wants to attempt it, remove all PIN/password protection first. I had to factory reset.

Of note is that the 72309 firmware (B360) zips can be flashed from TWRP with no issue. This zip however fails to install.
Things I tried which failed:
Unpacking UPDATE.APP and force-updating from /external_sd/dload/ folder
Flashing extracted images from bootloader*
Modifying updater-script and flashing in TWRP (mountencrypt was throwing an error, others too)
Updating updater-script and update-binary and flashing in TWRP (same errors)
Flashing images from bootloader, boot and system worked but vendor failed, but the device did boot. It didn't, however, show the new software version -- but that may be because the software version is read from the vendor partition which wouldn't flash. In any event, flashing this way the device was unstable. I couldn't set a screen PIN and Developer Options would crash the Settings menu when I attempted to access it.
Someone more skilled than me would need to extract the contents of all 3 zips and make one TWRP-flashable zip.

NXT-L29C432B580 update.zip

Hello, anybody got NXT-L29C432B580 full zip?
It appears on http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=NXT-L29C432 but I'm unable to download it.
I've downloaded b581, but I can't flash (or dload) it over b560 (I assume that I need to do b560 -> b580 -> b581).

A new update do fast ? Have anyone had success to install this without root?

I've successful to download the full package of the B580 via Firmware Finder app but that's all! I did'nt test more. Because at moment where I've been motivated to test it, people (OldDroid) talked us about of B581. I don't see the B581 with FF, so I can't have the full package and I tried the B581 via dload. Doesn't work like B580! If I install it via TWRP, I miss some apps... and sometimes they are really important in order to start a fresh installation, like keyboard. I've already had this issue.
Finally, i'm not sure it will work with TWRP like I want.

I installed 581 by extracting the .img files from update.app. Couldn't do it any other way. I had issues with tethering greyed out and now it works. That's about all it did for me.

I used Huawei update extractor to extract the .img files from update.app
I used SRKTool to make it easy to install the .img files. copied the img files into the \unbrick directory
Put phone into fastboot mode (power plugged in, vol down, then power) (Used option 7 then 14 to install using SRK tool.)
Did the remaining files manually using the platform tools (fastboot flash boot boot.img [for example])

Soft-brick P8 Lite [PRA-LX1] Europe

Hi guys,
I hope you can enlighten me regarding my bricked phone.
I tried to convert to Dual SIM following this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/guide-debranding-converting-single-sim-t3305977
I tried to flash the version (ALE-L02) that was in that guide and but it failed during the fastboot process because of a partittion error. I guess that was because I've tried to flash a stock room from a different model version (mine is PRA-LX1).
To get the phone back up I tried to flash one of this stockrooms:
http://www.stechguide.com/download-huawei-p8-lite-2017-android-nougat-firmware/
https://www.guidebeats.com/2017/02/21/nougat-b140-huawei-p8-lite-2017/
Because I don't have a micro sd card at the moment I used the huawei extractor tool to remove the boot, cust, recovery and system from the files I got from those sites and try to flash via flashboot. The process is done without any kind of errors.
First boot after flash the phone appears that it will start because it displays the logo and the blue bubbles but soon after stays like the image here: https://s1.postimg.o...172118b7227.jpg and wont boot.
What should I do ?
Many thanks!

I didn't really save the build number before) but now it's giving me this one: PRA-LX1C33B120
I tried that firmware before too and it didn't work.
Thanks for the response

It's because you are flashing wrong firmware .By the way links aren't opening. What was your last firmware? I mean build number.

There is an app called firmware finder. Download it a download firmware version C33BXXX and flash it via fastboot. The reason why your phone is stuck because you flashed C02BXXX instead of C33XXX.

Well I have followed your advice and downloaded the full ota and extracted the boot, cust, system and recovery from the update.app but it doesn't change anything

Try resetting from Huawei recovery. I know it may seems that it won't make a difference but since you don't have any sdcard it is worth a shot.

already did that but the end result it's the same :\ I'll try to get my hands on a sdcard to try the other method (hopefully it will work)

So...quick update: I was able to get a sdcard and tried to update the firmware that I got from the firmware finder. When I start the process "holding volum up + down and the power button" the instalation stops at 5%. I really don't know how to get around this.

you're flashing the wrong firmware dude... the PRA-LX1 i for Huawei P8 Lite 2017... all the firmwares starting with ALE-LXX are for Huawei P8 Lite....

I understand that but I got the firmware from firmware finder and downloaded the version for my firmware and still it can't pass the 5% instalation process if connected to the pc. If is not connected to the pc it says instalation failed

any ideias how I could solve this ? I tried to install the firmware PRA-LX1C33B130 from firmware finder but it's stops at 5%. Do I need the exact firmware (PRA-LX1C33B120) ? If so, I really can't find it.

This page has all the official firmware for your device. Press the update button to download one. Make sure it's C33xxxx (you can press F3/Ctrl+F and search for "C33") and that it's the full version, not OTA. Then follow the second half of this guide.

I did that and still doesn't work. After I flashed the firmware it goes on a bootloop. unfortunately nothing has changed

What does the update screen say? The one with the emui logo and the progress "circle"

When I tried the dload method: Instalation failed at 5%. It's similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16rHgp0GZ48 (1m30s) but with the screen saying my bootloader is unlocked.
When i flash it with fastboot it just stays like this : https://www1-lw.xda-cdn.com/files/2016/10/unlocked.jpg

can someone enlighten me on this subject? any ideas ?

I know I might be off topic,but anyone else had gapps removed after bootloader unlocking ? to be more specific, after I had unlocked the bootloader using adb and fastboot,I got a restart of the device and going directly to the main screen with some apps missing ( GPlay, google folder with gmail and stuff ) What I can do ? I got the PRA-LX1C432B126 firmware version. I also have the screen that squallx85 has ( the one who tells me that my phone is unlocked and no more trusted )
