updating failed - Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers

So, I just rooted my Huawei P Smart, the 136 update shows up, it does all the install steps, reboots and then says it failed. Do O need to do something on the twrp boot?

Download the full firmware, we lose the option to just update via normal update and we can update with a full system update

Just did that, 2 GB download, tries to install, reboots, goes to twrp, then I reboot to normal system and still says update failed.

Pretty sure you'll need stock recovery to update the "normal" way.

I'm not an expert - I always use HuRUpdater to update. It just requires you to download the (exact) right files, renaming them correctly and (like rooting with Magisk) just simply flashing a single .zip in recovery. In case you try it out, remember rule#1: Always make sure you have a (nandroid)backup.
Here are the relevant lines from my "Huawei-related-findings" text file:
#update
"Depends on how you rooted.
For a successful OTA install your device probably must meet the following criteria
• HUAWEI stock recovery installed
• unaltered /system, /product and /vendor partitions
So if you rooted with a "systemless" method (e.g. Magisk, recent SuperSU) and haven't done other installs/modifications that typically change /system you could try it. And you have to flash stock recovery (i.e. get rid of TWRP temporarily for the OTA install)."

#update
“It's recommended to use a proper custom recovery (with running oeminfo_nvm_server service) like for example*my version of TWRP.
How to use:
Warning: Make sure you know what you are doing and do not flash firmware from other devices.
1. Download firmware files (for official firmware use Huawei Firmware Finder).
2. Put files you want to flash in a seperate folder on sdcard.
Supported zip files to flash are (name must match):
◦ update.zip (use FullOTA file)
◦ update_all_hw.zip
◦ update_data_public.zip
3. Optional: Put recovery.img in same folder if you want to keep custom recovery.
4. Put HuRUpdater zip in same folder.
 5. Select*only HuRUpdater*to flash in custom recovery.
6. Follow instructions on screen. Flashing can take multiple minutes.
Problems:
• If firmware includes factory reset
◦ Factory reset is not supported by custom recovery. Therefore HuRUpdater will flash stock recovery before launching factory reset. After flashing firmware and doing factory reset, you need to flash recovery manually.”

Yes, I'm im the same boat - I guess you also get the "can't have connection" error using the FF app. During the last weeks they had troubles with their service regarding hackers and moving to a new server (according to their telegram group), which have been fixed ("all services working normally now"), and many can use it again - for whatever reason some still can't connect. I tried reinstalling the app, using proxies from different countries - still doesn't let me connect.
But their web interface is working: https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ though you can't check iirc, if the firmware has been approved for your IMEI.
According to this post:

It's online now! I suggest you to download the "2018.08.30" .158 "2379" release, if you have a FIG-LX1, L31 board phone.

You apparently can download this release (2379) if you own this device/board- though the last time I updated mine (.148) I used the 2079 (154226) one despite owning the exact same device. I'm slightly confused about this
I didn't try the above mentioned update myself.

Try installing an older version of the Firmware Finder app - I switched from (current) v9.0 to v8.9 and it works now

Damn, any word on when h6 gets this?
I'm on the PE-TL10C432B560 but when I tried to update it gave me "FAILED TO UPGRADE" and I was forced to restart my H6+.
Did you get the same error?
I placed my update.app in a dload folder, inside my External SD Card.
Thanks in advance

Have you stock boot and recovery partitions? No root?
If you have, you must remove Supersu (select full unroot), flash stock partitions and then do the update.
If you don't have root, consider first and foremost a backup with Huawei Backup. Then download the zip file from here and follow the instructions.

Thanks a lot mate!
With the link you provided I was able to successfully upgrade my H6+
Anyway I'm still official, no root, no unlocked bootloader.... strange considering that I lost my MotoG1 warranty after a week
Thanks again
I have downloaded the zip (didn't extract it) and i have created /dload file in internal memory and put that zip inside it, then i have open updater and select that zip and my 6+ enter in installing mode, but it stuck at 99% and it doesn't continue, someone knows whats wrong with it ?
You should have extracted it.
Extract the zip file unitl you have an update.app and put this into your dload folder. Then try updating again with force update method. If this doesn´t work

I have the PE-TL10C900B331 and my phone shows me the PE-TL10C432B571 to update. If I run the automatic update it is not working. At 1% the installing stops and phone reboots.
I tried the german site with the zip and force installing but it is the same

First I would try to get an update file that I could check its integrity either by MD5 or other form of verification. That would ruled out corrupted file cause.
Second, I would backup all my important things with native Huawei backup app into SD or PC. The I would perform a factory reset and setup just the Google account and Huawei ID if your ROM has one. Also setup HiCare app. Make sure all are updated. Then try to check update and if it works, great, if it doesn´t then try force update.
Only after update I would restore backup.
May I please ask what are the changes in this update? I am a huawei honor 6 plus user.
Thank you in advance for your response!
Does this work on PE-TL10C185B561 ?
As i worked on the steps but it stops at 5% although there is enough free space & battery charge

Thanks it works! Factory reset was needed. I think the problem was, that I encrypted the phone itself before.

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.

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.

In theory, we could also just extract the recovery.img, system.img and vendor.img and flash via fastboot.....or no? I know that's generally the way I've flashed things on my Shield TV

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.

There's a 1.9gb OTA on firmware finder...I'd download it here at work but the internet is too slow, it'd take hours.

[Guide]How to update from B380 or B381 to B389, B394, B399, B401, B402 and root

This guide is for update within versions if you are rooted, if not, simply download and install de ota or with FF.
If you update to B394 from any version, downloading the last complete packet in update system, it locks the bootloader !!! be advised
If you update to B399 or B401, B402 from B394, downloading the last complete packet in update system, DO NOT LOCK the bootloader !!! good news
My first problem was when I was in B380 and rooted , the b389 ota arrived...then I unroot, put stock recovery and unistalled busybox, but ota failed at 8%
The solution to this :
1 - flash stock recovery from version you have
2 - download the last complete packet in update system , for me 2.41 Gb, not the ota
3 - (optional but useful for future) connect to pc and copy the 3 files downloaded the update in HWOUC to pc
4 - make the normal update in update system
7 - copy supersu 2.82.zip original file or Magisk to SD
8 - Flash last twrp recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-frd , enter in twrp recovery and:
9 - Tick the option "Keep vendor partition mounted" inside OpenKirin in Settings (last option in settings) for me is ticked as default
10 - Make a backup of boot (for future) if you want
11- flash supersu 2.82 original or Magisk
12 - reboot and it's done!!!!!!!!
Update to B394
if you have done all the process and you want now to update to b394, you can uninstall first supersu within options menu saying yes to all questions when uninstalling and without errors or bad uninstallation; then, delete binaries of busybox, flash stock recovery and try to install ota...for me the ota not installed and done with errors.
Then I installed b394 full and locked my bootloader, forcing me to format all because i unlocked the bootloader (remember to activate oem bootloader unlock on and usb depuration on).
After installing the same twrp recovery, I tested the magisk v14 and works perfect, but with an inconvenient, you have to disable the option of magisk manager "magisk hide" to work with fingerprint ,At version 15.3 I didn't see this error.
B394 to B399
Tried the uninstaller of magisk flashed with twrp to unroot and then put the stock recovery and failed, then I flashed stock boot and failed ....finally it worked downloading the last complete packet in update system.Then the habitual, flash twrp recovery, magisk v15.3 from twrp and magisk manager v5.5 in android...and worked perfect
B399 to B401
This time I only unistalled binaries from busybox and flashed stock recovery; then launched Full update (2.41 Gb) without problems.Then flashed twrp, magisk 15.3 from twrp as usual and nothing more...magisk manager detected all ok and I have a rooted device again.
B401 to B402
Simplified the process, now only flash the stock recovery 401 and make the full update packet (2.41Gb). Then flash twrp, enter in twrp, flash magisk 16.0, reboot and that's all. Install busybox script, adaway hosts and done.
Notes:
1 - If the system downloaded automatically the small ota update. you must to try to update with an obvious error, then you can download the full update packet.
1 - the installation of magisk is simple, in twrp flash the magisk.zip , reboot and install magisk manager to control all. This is another app to root and don't need supersu. The advantages to make this is magisk hide, it permits to work with apps that can't work if your phone is rooted.

I had B381, TWRP & Root and I just used points from guide - 2.2,3,6,7,8,9,11,12. I had to remove SuperSU in the app - complete unroot option. Flashed stock recovery.img (and recovery2.img) in fastboot mode, which I extracted from my firmware version update.app. Restarted the device and did a full OTA update to B389, hard reset, flashed latest TWRP 3.1.1-1 in fastboot mode, than installed modified SuperSU for EMUI 5.0 from XDA and all is done.

As I already mentioned that I have tested these file on my x522(S3) before upload.
Nd x52x series means x520/522/526
Download 20s flash it you will receive 21s automatically

Yes.
Sooooo I have a slight problem.
I have TWRP and stock ROM. Sort of. Xtreme Addiction ROM, only one that would work and not give the error"This is an s2 not s2_na_Xxxx" so I Flashed that, and uninstalled root, now in TWRP it doesn't show my internal storage so I can't flash this ROM, and ask for a password. So I tried using the 3dot option from settings and it won't work either, it'll just boot to TWRP and nothing happens. I'm really not looking forward to deleting everything... AGAIN but I will if I have to.
Is there an update for the Le s3 x522 that can be installed though the phone update app? I am still running stock recovery and don't want to change it but it seems the OTA updates not working

I think we might be having the same problem...
My X527 came with 16s as the stock ROM.
Upgraded to 19s with TWRP which gives me the system update option as well as OTA (which says I'm running the latest version).
I want to update to 21s and use the system update method..
Phone starts to load the new update (renamed to "update.zip") progress bar at the bottom of the screen while all of this takes place.
Phone reboots into password screen for TWRP, swipe to continue, then select system reboot and once it's back up and running it is still on 19s...?
Did you get your update resolved?

I did, I used this website. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....factory-image-5-8-020s-directly-t3527790/amp/
Downloaded Chinese TWRP from there. As well as that ROM, if you have the 21s update file, I'm sure you can get it working with that TWRP. Hopefully it works for you.

What worked for me was replacing TWRP with the factory recovery and I'm good to go.
There was talk of an official update (beyond 21s) in December but so for, no sign of that...

Interesting, replacing stock Recovery didn't work for me when I did it, and yeah. It's most likely not coming soon due to financial issues LeEco has.

I note that this says it's the ROM for the S3.
I'm using the X527 which is the S2 with the Snapdragon chip (now listed as X526 after installing 21s), did you perhaps flash the incorrect ROM?
I had continual problems upgrading from 19s with TWRP - it would go through the whole process and then reboot to 19s..
Even after the replacement of the stock recovery, the first ROM I downloaded (21s) was not accepted. Had to download another one for it to finally work.
Could be a bad download?
Contact
How did you contact leeco and get this. I need all future updates. My phone is rooted and I am unable to completely unroot it and get OTAs.

If you don't have TWRP or anything installed, it should work fine if you put the 20s update in the root folder (the folder with the android and download folders). Then just go to system update, press menu, press local update, go through prompts and it should update automatically. Then just repeat the process for the 21s update. If you have twrp installed, I'm pretty sure the chinese ydss version doesn't allow OTA installs. This update requires stock recovery installed because it updates through the recovery. You can find stock recovery images on google (search le s3 stock recovery and click skyneel) or, someone might have posted a recovery image on the le 2 forum. Plz reply if it doesn't work, it worked for me tho.
Is there any bugs? If yes please list. Thank you
does it work for le s3 X626 mtk?
if not, please guide me as I see that this forum support Le S3.
thanks.

Question about custom recoveries and bootloader relocking

Hello!
I have unlocked the bootloader of my Mate 10 lite and proceeded to flash TWRP and Magisk onto the device. But in doing so, I get an awful looking screen when I boot the device, so I thought I should relock the bootloader, now that TWRP has been flashed.
...I immediately regretted relocking the bootloader, as the system was inaccessible until I re-unlocked the bootloader and was able to access TWRP and the system again. So my question is, can you lock the bootloader with TWRP installed and still access the system?
Also, if I want to go back to full-stock, I have to download a stock ROM for the system from firmwarefinder and flash it with some tool, correct?

Unfortunately, it's impossible...
You can flash Stock ROM for the system from firmwarefinder (fullOTA-MF only!) using HwOTA, HuRupdater, Huawei Multi-tool (RUFI).
If You want to go back to full-stock with locked bootloader (not re-locked) , You have to flash Service ROM from dload (this process will erase all the data from your device!).

Thanks for the tips! By the way, what is dload? If it's a website, I cant find it (the fact that dload is short of "download" doesn't really help). I am now in need of that full-stock ROM.

Whew. I got the bootloader AND FRP locked on me, and now I don't have a usable system. So now, I have to rely on eRecovery to download a 3GBs package and hope all things go well...the problem is, I'd need to find a place that offers fast WiFi...my internet is terrible.
EDIT: Got the system back up thanks to eRecovery. I'm not sure if I want to root or install a custom recovery on the Lite. I've realized even more that I should cherish my older phone, my Samsung Galaxy Win. At least this one isn't complicated or protected by Fort KNOX.
When u play with custom roms, u appreciate the customization/optimizations offered by developers, thanks to them. But with the time, u always feel stock ROM was best for this n that reasons. Recent 2/3 times I was able to use Huru Updater to get back to Stock ROM and it worked well (needs TWRP installed, and you may need to switch to other TWRP if u get error from existing)
You seem to be a beginner, so I would suggest to get help from some friends who can do it for you. Or obviously u can try ur self again and again, and learn good things until something finally works for u. You were able to relock bootloader so it means u have the code for ur device for locking/unlocking, save this code on at least 2 different places (email, google drive, dropbox etc.). Then u can easily unlock ur device again, and install Stock ROM etc.

Custom ROMs are the best thing to happen to the Galaxy Win, even if the available choices all have their compromises. But with the M10 lite, I think it's better to stick with stock and mod it. And I'm not exactly a beginner, but rooting the Galaxy Win and modifying it was no hard ordeal. Or the Galaxy Grand for that matter, which I changed its ROM entirely. The Mate 10 lite however, oh dear (wipes sweat).
I've got the system back up and re-fitted it with TWRP and installed Magisk. And yet, when I try backing up the data partition with TWRP, I meet a peculiar error. Excerpt from recovery.log:
Code:

Searching on the internet, I found the solution was to delete the file that stops the operation from finishing. However, using MiXplorer with full root permissions, I...couldn't find the file...? There's only bt_config.bak, bt_config.conf and macbt. Nothing else. What the heck is up with all that?
I'd appreciate a solution to this.

I am certainly not up to what u r indicating so cant suggest a solution, earlier in my reply, I was only
indicating my experience with custom ROMs. I havent yet come across a single custom ROM for mate 10
lite that has no problems. Earlier Galaxy S4 Mini, there was custom ROM which was awsome, not a single issue
But for mate 10 lite camera problem is most common. Stock camera app often doesnt work or partially
works, restart of the app etc. You can install open camera, but it does not give u best shots, and filters.
Other issues are already discussed in every custom ROM thread, so I had to come back to Stock ROM
with magisk to remove any system apps that I dont need plus other goodies that magisk offers u (modules)
Alright, so I am supposed to install 347, but I uhh...can't, because I don't think TWRP is able to do it. What am I supposed to do in order to carry out the update successfully?

I just did your instructions today. All was going well up until installation of the new update. The first time, it rebooted when the progress bar was at 6%, then it rebooted again to the recovery, went up to 6% again before showing this screen:
Code:
Software install failed!
Failed to check the update files
Please download the package again
> Reboot system now
So I'm back to square one basically.
Also, I can't install updates to the built-in Huawei apps for some reason, even after flashing the stock recovery. I'm not sure what to do with both issues now...
