bootloader unlocked and rooted nougat and lost on update - Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

so directly into the issue, wanting to flash RR/openkirin/aosp on my mate 9 l29c185
cant seem to update to oreo following the guides around here for some reason, errors and all. what exactly am i missing ?
cant use hwota to flash oreo downloaded from the russian site coz i end up with error9 or was it the other error where it doesn't even start the flash at erecovery ?

Guess that twrp didnt wanna start and just froze on twrp boot screen, got lost trying to flash it again thru fastboot and it didnt like it..
Ended up at error screen looking like fastboot with 2 error stating recovery and something else. Will give it a try tomorrow since fastboot still available so theres still a chance.

If you got Oreo working, but this is on treble (Lineage, RR, etc), it's because TWRP doesn't work with those yet.
You should be able to just flash back stock recovery, by extracting update.app from update.zip. Then download and open Huawei Update Extractor, go to settings and disable header crc, then open update.app in it.
Rightclick on recovery_ramdisk and extract selected, then flash it to 'recovery_ramdisk' from fastboot.

well it started at first then it was off to flash RR but thats where it ended, i will try that and update you. Thanks a lot for the info. we need a big stickied thread explaining all the errors and how to work thing in a proper way, searching like it is now for info aint easy.
i know i'm a beginner but ive been thrw a lot ever since the s2/lg g2 days where it was pretty straight forward even for a noob, just follow the guide step by step and things are up and running.
anyways appreciate the help and will get back to u with an update.

Also, when flashing a treble firmware you need to factory reset from Recovery. So if you get it past the error, but still bootloop, boot to stock recovery and do a factory reset. Same when you want to go back to Emui, flash stock system, factory reset from stock recovery.

[SOLVED + GUIDE] ASUS ZenPad 8.0 Z380KL how to solve bootloop

Hi Guys, i think that i have softbricked mi Zenpad :silly:
So, i have used KingRoot in order to have root permission, after i have use super_me or something like this in order to change KingUser app with SuperSu app, but after the reboot it has gone in bootloop
I have tried to reset it using standard recovery (by ASUS) but it doesn't works, it is still in bootloop.
Can you help me ? (again :laugh
Thanks to a Jappanase blog i was able to unbrick my tablet and install CM 13.0 without have a funcrional rom: {Mod edit}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to solve:
1_ Download the following zips in a folder
Code:
[URL="https://vasy.ru/TWRP/P024/"]https://vasy.ru/TWRP/P024/[/URL] TWRP
[URL="http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http%3A%2...zip&e=48313529"]http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http%3A%2...zip&e=48313529[/URL] CM 13.0
[URL="http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico"]http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico[/URL] G APPS
[URL="http://d-h.st/8FqR#"]http://d-h.st/8FqR#[/URL] ADB and other utilities . Thanks to @backwardastep
2_ Move CM 13.0 and G APPS in a sd card and insert it into the tablet
3_ Unzip z380klroot_w_xposed
4_ move the TWRP.img in the "z380klroot_w_xposed" folder
5_ open cmd on Windows and move in the z380klroot folder. Type:
Code:
cd C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\z380klroot_w_xposed
6_ Connect the tablet
7_ Then type:
Code:
fastboot boot twrpxx.xx.xx.img
the tablet will start to looking for a device
8_ Press power + "volume +" in order to put the tablet in recovery (you can also put the tablet in recovery mode before the point 7)
9_ Then it should boot a temporany TWRP
10_ From TWRP wipe all data and install first CM 13.0 and GAPPS as usual
Now you have a working CM 13.0
PS. i noted in the Andmen blog's that exist also an Resurrection Remix

1. yes, you should flash before the stock recovery and then the stock rom
2. I don't know, i have never used asus flash tool, but i think that you should have anyway the stock recovery file
Again, i repeat, if someone know how copy the stock recovery, i can do it. My tablet have still the stock one and i could copy and post here !

Do you have a link to the stock recovery @bangdes?
Edit: I flashed this (https://www.asus.com/zentalk/tw/thread-147621-3-1.html) and now I just get an ASUS logo that eventually goes to the "Powered by Android" screen. Gonna try flashing stock now.
Edit 2: Gave me an error 7. Gonna try charging it up and flashing it again while I research what's up.
Edit 3: tried booting TWRP over stock recovery and adb sideloading it. finished saying total xfer: 1.09x and booted me to a black screen once I tried rebooting (TWRP gave me a No OS warning) saying it couldn't find drivers for Qualcomm HD-9008. ****, I think I just hard bricked my tablet yet again. Rebooted into driver signature disabled mode and it says "unknown device". Can't even turn off the damn thing.

Ok, lil update. Found out a potential unbricking method:
{Mod edit}
Also this thread is just dedicated to this brick: {Mod edit}}
And here's a few others who have the same issue: {Mod edit}
According to a guy who natively speaks Russian, this is a hardbrick that can't be repaired without sending it in to the OEM.
Kinda wish I had a little birdie that could fly into the ASUS office (I've been there, actually pretty nice. Lounge chairs with tablets and phones on display to play with while you wait, and a TV that was playing Finding Nemo in Chinese. Plus staff was nice enough, I just played dumb about what happened lol) and just tell me what exactly I can do to fix this. Even worse, the one year warranty is almost up so I'm gonna have to fork over cash if I send it in to be repaired AGAIN. This makes me want to send this tablet off to repair and sell it off for a NVIDIA Shield or something, Jesus. I got burned by Asus with the ZF2 and yet I still fell into this trap. Same with Samsung, I guess I'm just a masochist or something. Anyways, currently juggling fixing/rooting my S7 along with school work, so it'll be a few days or so until I can start experimenting with this. On a sidenote, damn the OPO is good. Still flies after three years of daily usage

I apologize if it looks like a spam, I am just suggesting that you should at least try to restore the stock system partition before trying to flash stock rom using TWRP as it does not work with the custom ROM system partition. As far as I have tried I couldn't boot into stock recovery, maybe it doesn't have one on my model. I can only boot into fastboot.
Best bet is to try to boot into custom recovery and restore the stock system partition from a backup file and then flash the stock rom and see whether it works.

So, I'm curious about it, and flash twrp myself just awhile ago...
And got bootloop, really... wait, seriously?
I'm like
How did the other day I'm able to survive this? It boot normally,
After 1st successful boot, flashing root, (I don't remember but just say I'm booting twrp this time), xposed, aware that root lost after reboot, I did my backup here,
Then deciding to start from scratch, installing official Asus, boot normally, flash twrp, rooting,rebooting few times and somehow root intact, install xposed, root lost...
Restart again, install Asus official (I'm not restoring my backup, really, the only thing I know how to install stock is by stock recovery itself) , boot twrp, install root by system, reboot, root intact, xposed, root intact, surfing net, registering xda yesterday, just now replying to your thread, then you can read from above again...
Just few minutes ago, restore recovery from backup (still bootloop though), installing Asus again, and make this reply...
Sorry can't help you, even I'm confused right now

Sorry, which part?
If about how I got my recovery back then, I don't really understand, let's assume I have my backup that time. now I have my backup, for real.
From what I understand, invalid boot mean either you got broken boot images or locked bootloader, so which one is familiar to you?
Anyway, you can try to flash back stock boot (grab from asus zip) and stock recovery (if you have them, or find on this forum?).
I don't know if locked bootloader can flash boot/recovery, never tried it myself. So, good luck!

Software install failed!

Hi guys,
I have a honor 6 plus (PE-TL10), it was running EMUI 4. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7 and then wiped all partitions through it(cust,system,etc) then flashed stock recovery back, now i am trying to install EMUI 4.0.1(Android 6.0) via 3 buttons Huawei update but it stops at 5% and fails. Can you guys provide me with any help, I really need it.
Also now when i am trying to wipe data thru stock recovery i get an weird error message at almost 25% saying "reset balong modem setting fail", which making it more difficult to get back stock rom.
Just last question; the Unbrick option in the "HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool", wil it restore the device to stock rom and fully functional state after that or it will miss some parts of the stock rom ?
Many thanks and regards

For you to restore to stock you need to flash boot, recovery, system and cust.
Make sure you have stock boot and recovery to for forced update (3 buttons).
What happens in most of the cases is boot and recovery files are corrupt.
I would try the unbrick of the Multitool. If it fails, I would flash manually all img files for each partition. But using the same firmware version as the last installed one.
Post your results and I will try to help.
1:Extract the ROM with huawei update extractor
2:download latest minimal adb and fastboot drivers and install them
3ut the extracted system.img,recovery.img,cust.img,boot.img and userdata.img into the fastboot.exe folder
4: boot into the fastboot mode
And finally flash the above mentioned imgs one by one with this command
fastboot flash XXX XXX.img
After flashing files type
Fastboot reboot
and every thing should be fine again

Thank you for answering, I did used Huawei MultiTool and Unbricked my device. I flashed four img files(SYSTEM,CUST,RECOVERY,BOOT) and now i am back to stock rom and running smoothly.
I tried to use force update feature on my device after that but again i got the same result, it stopped at 5% and failed. I guess i will keep it the way it's now.
Many thanks; you guys are awesome!

Thank you, I did that except for userdata.img file, the Huawei MultiTool only mentioned 4 files(system,recovery,boot,cust). Now my device is running back again on stock rom. Should I flash userdata.img file or is it ok?
Just a question that i keep asking myself; inside the stock update.app file there are 22 img files, what do they do? I only flashed four of them so what purpose do the rest serve as? if the device can operate fully functional with four of them!
Many thanks,

Don't use any other img file. And don't flash userdata.
If it works, don't change it. ?

Get softbrick with bootloop

Hey guys,
This afternoon I tried to change my file system fo f2fs, I failed and got into bootloop. Follow some instructions, I flash the factory image (I was using stock 7.1.1 Feb and EX Kernel before trying f2fs) but I still face the bootloop. As I know this is a softbrick, because I can still boot into bootloader and flash recovery. But no matter how I try (flash stock, flash rom cook, flash older stock)...my 6P is still in the bootloop. I check in the TWRP that my phone is still in ext4, not f2fs anymore.
I really need some advice to wake him up. Really appreciate your help.
In all honesty bro, I never noticed much difference if any with ext4 vs f2fs. On another note, what kernel and ROM did you flash with f2fs? The the version that supports f2fs gives bootloops when you flash a custom kernel with that recovery. Try flashing the official version of recovery, reboot, then ROM and kernel if you wish and try again.

Fastboot format your partitions and use flash-all.bat with a stock Google image.

Why do you still have TWRP if you flashed stock? You need to flash the complete stock image including the stock recovery.

Thanks guys for helping. I fixed it.
I always flashed the stock image step by step followed by heisenberg, and never use the flash-all.bat just because I dont understand how to run it. However a guy in the f2fs told me to add in some steps
fastboot format system
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

And it works. It seems like the step by step way is not clear enough. Any guys can tell me how to run the flash-all.bat please? When I run it always said fastboot is not etc...

It's a good sign you formatted and received no errors in fastboot. Google provides instructions for flash-all.bat on the same page you download the images from. https://developers.google.com/android/images
If you are not comfortable using the command window in Windows, you could also use a toolkit like Wugfresh's NRT or Skipsoft's Toolkit to automate the whole process.

Is it I open the fastboot cmd, use cd command to navigate to that directory? I already tried but failed to run :'( Although I have fixed it but I want to know just in case the next time. Thanks.

Hi... Here's a pretty good detailed process on how to unlock/flash, etc...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928/page549
Also, before using any toolkit, I suggest using manual commands and getting comfortable with it. At least, you learn exactly what command do what! Simply pressing a button in a program may result in a bricked device. Plus with command line you learn something. :good:

What do you mean "unlocked"? The bootloader is unlocked and I can flash recovery too. I use the command line in heisenberg thread and flash my phone to stock. Add in some more steps I mentioned above. Boom. It's back again.

I'm guessing you've already tried a factory reset from the stock recovery. Because your bootloader is locked you are limited to sideloading OTA's. And yes, sideloading an older or equal version OTA will fail. You can try a newer revision OTA when available. The 7.1.2 beta may come out before the March security update.

Good point. It didn't occur to me that equal version would fail. Folks need to unlock their boot loaders! Lol

I agree. Unless you absolutely cannot live without Android Pay or Wallet, work phone, etc., there is no reason to not unlock the bootloader as a safeguard. Of course it's no guarantee, but you just have a whole lot more tools at your disposal when SHTF, including restoring a recent backup or flashing a complete stock image. The initial pain of losing your data can be largely mitigated by pulling it off first, and eventually you even forget about the boot nag screen.

Now i have unlocked bootloader but the phone keep restart and stuck at logo again. i followed @Heisenberg thread but same result.

[Question] root/twrp on A2017GV1.2.0B02

Hi!
I'm looking for a way to either root/twrp v1.2.0b02 (coming from stock files), or a way to apply the ota on a twrp'd/rooted v1.2.0b01.
I have tried this guide without luck starting from the point where the tool tries to flash twrp. when the phone tried to reboot into bootloader it just rebooted to the system.
With this guide i can't apply B02 as i get a mismatch error (forgot what the actual message was called).
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
edit: further information: i am currently on 7.1.1 b01 with unlocked-BL/twrp/root thanks to this guide, BUUUT i can not update from that to b02.
when i flash stock recovery and try to update via ota i get a "package mismatch" error during the update installation process while in the (stock-) recovery.
1. Which version are you running?
2. are you already unlocked and
rooted?
If yes, just flash stock recovery with axon7tool and update your system in the usual way. If done, flash back TWRP and supersu. Done.

Its a good question. For e.g. I'm on b10 G version rooted. How to come to A2017GV1.2.0B02 rooted?
Just the same. Install stock recovery and follow the update process as described everywhere in this forum.

What ended in a package mismatch? Flashing the recovery or updating? (Sorry, didn't see your first quote)

the update itself.
Hello,
I'm on A2017GV1.2.0B02, and I'd like to root it.
I have installed adb and axon7toolkit, but it seems there's no stock recovery anymore since 7.x firmware. So when I issue adb edl reboot, the phone is just rebooting the OS. :/
Which steps must I follow for rooting my stock A2017GV1.2.0B02 ?
Thanks.

the command to edl is: adb reboot edl.
To boot into recovery it's just power + vol+ button.
But since nougat you cannot boot into bootloader anymore. This would be necessary to unlock the bootloader. Therefore you would have to follow the steps I already mentioned in this thread.

B01 is what? Android 7.0 or 7.1.1? If you are already on 7.1.1 you don't have to flash anything. You will receive the update to B02 OTA. Otherwise you have to follow the official steps to get where you want to be. Described a lot on xda.

Thanks for the answer, but there's no recovery for the B02 7.1.1.

You are triyng to update your sistem with twrp and the stock update.
you need to go back to stock recovery, aply update from system, wait for process and then, reboot edl, and reflash recovery.
then from recovery root

My stuff was for reinstalling TWRP on an unlocked phone after Nougat deleted it.
You should try axon7toolkit and see if that does the stuff. Another way around would be to downgrade your phone to B10 (Marshmallow) via MiFavor's update by sd thingy, (i'm not 100% sure if it lets you get to mm from nougat, but it's definitely worth a shot) then trying the BL unlock thread (NOT mine!)

ooooh! guess i misinterpreted the guide then. i never had the problem to begin with as i already unlocked my bootloader on 6.0b10.
ayways, i am currently on 7.1.1 b01 with twrp/root thanks to this guide, BUUUT i can not update from that to b02.
when i flash stock recovery and try to update via ota i get a "package mismatch" error during the update installation process inside the (stock-) recovery.

Okay that happened to me. By "this guide" you mean what I posted close to the end right? the xda app just shows me the last post lol
Try to download the full B02 package. Some guy mirrored the full package on one of the B02 posts. Then try to use MiFavor's own updater. It worked for me, can't see why you couldn't use that

You'll always get that mismatch regarding what you do or try. You'll need a custom made twrp flashable zip. Tron1 and I have tried to make one but no success. We will try to make a full flashable zip based on the full image.
Even if you flash your stock recovery back and do the OTA, you'll always get a mismatch regardless what others might say.

that's what i was afraid of.
guess the zips again will be split into bootstack and system like his other flashable images, right?
