Once the ota's with security patches have been rolled out for L24 users Huawei Releases the Update.app in no time .
So its easy to flash the otas leaving modem files .
Just follow below guide to Update your phone (L21/L22)to latest rom available for the opponent (L24 lol ).
Download the latest update.app (probably b151 is the latest for now with march security patches).
Put the update.app file to desktop .
Download Huawei update extractor (google for the link)
Now open Huawei update extractor and navigate to open update.app .
you will see a list of files shown .
There just select system.img and boot.img and extract them to the desktop.
Download and extract mfastboot v2.zip to desktop .
Put the extracted system.img and boot.img and move both to mfastboot folder , now in empty space in same mfastboot folder., click shift+right click and click on open command prompt here in the drop down menu .
(before starting install Hi suite first for installing specific drivers)
In the command prompt type these commands after connecting your phone PC when command prompt is opened.
Adb reboot bootloader
Now your phone is at bootloader .
Type this commands
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe reboot .
That's it now you are on stock ROM with latest security patch with improved performance as of the update change log[emoji14]
NOTE:
(It may take up to 5 mins to flash the 2.5gb system so have patience) .

That's looks nice, but which profile do we have to use as there's no specific one for the Honor 5x : the default one ?
Then what tool can we use to extract the content of the system.img file for those who have a deodex version such as with Xposed framework ?
I could only find a very old version for ICS/Jelly Bean which does not work with the newer firmwares... I think...
Thanks

Be clear buddy , there is a tool called ext4 extracter to extracting system.img . what do you mean by profile ?
Stock ROM is odexed , you have to deodex yourself .
I will post a guide on deodexing the ROM .
Keep waiting
Arobase40 said:
When I open the Huawei Update extractor The first line is asking for a Huawei device profile and of course the Honor 5x is not there...
Then this is the "ext4 extracter"which seems to be very old and when I tried to extract files from the system.img it got stuck on there.
I know we have to deodex the files ourself...

Do you have a link to the working ext4 extractor version you're using ?

System.img had a size of 2.4 GB .
So the version you find in forums works but it takes time to load . you can first try Cust.img to open first .if loads faster as it is 300 mb
Arobase40 said:
Well, I guess what you mean is that we're working with the same ext4 unpacker version but we don't have the same behavior... ^^
I can open the cust.img but not the system.img file as it simply crashed after a while (with Win7).
Then we don't have the same size as The Huawei Update Extractor shows me the system.img as a 2.26GB file (dated 2016.03.19). So maybe we don't use the same firmware...
But whatever, the ext4 unpacker can't open any system.img file reliably as it simply crash all the time.
So maybe I'm missing some dependencies ?
As Clsa has done most of the work, we could probably simply use his custom ROM as a base ???

Ofcourse , I just wants to make you cook the ROM by yourself . moreover there were multiple ways extracting the system.img . I will explain it with an in depth tutorial have some patiance I will include it though
Arobase40 said:
Yeah, I'd love to spend more time on cooking itself than wondering where to find the correct tools and why they are not working, if you understand what I mean...
If you publish a tutorial, so publish links to the good tools and specify what is specific to the Honor 5x...
Finally, if something is already done, I don't feel the need to recreate it.

The answer is in the first post here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684
The way I get the system.img is I dump it directly from the phone with the instructions here >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/custom-rom-starter-template-honor-5x-t3328809. this leaves you with the system.therest.tar.gz and system.apps.tar.gz
that you copy to your PC and you can edit / open with 7-zip
it also contains the core files to build the rom - META-INF and inside is the updater-script that you edit with notepad++ to match your needs
Arobase40 said:
I love you guy !
This is exactly what was missing and what I needed.
---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------
If the Huawei Update Extractor is working fine now, I still have problems with the Ext4unpacker which still crash with the system.img file.
Any input on the issue ?
I can't work the same way as with the second link as I can't directly flash a KIW-L24 firmware onto a KIW-L21 to then dump it as it will simply brick my Honor 5x... ^^
Click to expand...

Their is no need to unpack the system.img you can flash it directly to your phone with fastboot
or you can use the HUE to create a flashable zip.
Arobase40 said:
Problem is that you can directly flash the latest firmware just because Huawei/Honor is better supporting KIW-L24 than KIW-21 and one part of the Android Security patch is in the boot.img file (the kernel), that we don't have... ^^
We don't even have the latest Kernel source code yet to recreate a correct boot.img...

yeah, nothing I can do for you their. Some can flash the system and boot and others can't not sure why

Hello everyone !
I'd like to know the way to go back to Emui, 4.1 or 5.0, after a installation of Lineage Os on my device, a CAN-L01.
Can anybody help me and the people that installed Los and want to go back to Emui too ?

How Did you installed LineageOs with fastboot or twrp and did you ever flashed nougat firmware?
You can flash stock firmware via fastboot you need to install on your pc firmware finder, huawei extract tool, fastboot and hisuite (for sub drivers).
So - open firmware finder and search fwd for can-l01 download it and extract update.app
- run huawei extract tool,open update.app with it and extract (with right click) boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img, system.img and userdata.img (cust.img and userdata.img are just in Marshmallow for nougat rom you only need to flash boot, recovery and system) in the root of fastboot folder
- run fastboot trough cmd and flash images you have extracted with huawei extract tool.
If you never flashed nougat you can flash marshmallows, in firmware finder marshmallow firmware is somewhere about 1.9gb.
---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------
Or you can try the other method, download fwd with firmware finder, extract update.app, extract with huawei extract tool recovery.img, flash recovery with fastboot, create a new folder in the root of your ad-card and name it dload, copy the update.app in dload folder, open the dialer app and type
Thanks for your fast reply !
I installed Los with TWRP.
In fact, I have tried for a week to install Emui 5.0, I flashed again and again changing my method but the best result I got was a bootloop, so I went back to Los. I did a full backup of my system running onto Emui 4.1 but to perform something like this I had to remove encryption from my /data partition, I did it with the command fastboot erase userdata. However, everytime I was booting the rom it encrypted the /data... So my backup doesn't contain /data and I think it is the reason I havn't been able to go back onto Emui so far.
Could you provide me a link to download a fullota of any Emui 4.1 firmwarefor CAN-L01C432 or C109 ? I already looked for it but I can't find anything.

I can upload my backup if you want, but this is a CAN-L01C109, France version.
I'll share the link when I finish downloading the C432B100 and uploading my own.

Did you uploaded your backup? Still waiting for download link.
From the first time i was not able to upgrade my phone to another new version of Android.
The phone was bought on chinese store with Android version : WW V10.40.47.107 (Android MM)
When i checked availability of new versions, phone showed me no result available.
Then following instructions i unlocked bootloader and then install TWRP as recovery system.
I tried to install updates of ROM downloaded from Asus website using this methods with this results :
installing by TWRP with ROM transfered to internal memory of phone KO
installing by "ADB sideload" command KO
I partially resolved after many attempts updating only to Version V11.41.87.2 (Android MM)
I solved in this way :
i used TWRP installing from file transfered directly in microSD
i extracted from zipped file "updater-script" file that is possible to find in the following folder path :
META-INF > com > google > android
and then deleted this rows :
(!less_than_int(1494697617, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (2017年 05月 14日 星期日 01:46:57 CST) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
.....
getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW" || abort("Please use the right SKU for updating...");
.....
and then save file extracted and compress into zip file.
During TWRP install process i got some error updates, it seems connected to System folder/partition update
but at the end i was able to update Android to my phone
I tried to do the same method with an other update Version V20.32.67.25 i got a corrupted System folder/partition
It seems essential to update this phone to use original recovery system. Can anyone give it to me?
Or is there someone who has been able to install updates using TWRP without any error ?
Also after installation I wiped the Boot, System, Data, Cache partitions and then I restored from Nandroid backup done by TWRP.
But the phone did not start at the reboot.
I then had to reinstall the update with the method described above to get the working phone back
Why did Nandroid backup with TWRP not correctly restore the phone?
Many thanks to anyone can help me

There is a link to a rom in this post. In that zip you will find recovery.img. Flash it with adb, like you flashed twrp.
Then you can flash the last M official rom, and subsequently the first and last N roms.
That's the way I did it. I had to end up wiping data, to make it work correctly.
I'm also looking for a Nougat recovery.img.
I wouldn't like to go thru all the process again if there is another update.
Good luck.

3. Move system.img and boot.img to minimal adb & fastboot folder

After 11 hours trying out finally solved!!!
I originally just wanted to do a factory reset, and swiped then not only data/cache, but unfortunally - because of lack of expirience - also system partition. After that all the problems occured like described above and partitionally in https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/unbricking-zenfone-3-ze552kl-dm-verity-t3563970 (there was no OS anymore, twrp warned me this every time I wanted to power off, but I couldn't install the firmware again through fastboot neither through twrp -> install zip; have got error 7 or 6).

I have finally founded a solution!!! This is in FIRSTLY restoring original recovery and just then flashing the stock ROM. Here the steps to do for it:
a.) Download original stock rom (raw-version!) from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HuMJ/wEybSNsQA (raw is to flash through AFT - asus flash tool) or from any other source you can find online; official name seems to be "WW-ZE553KL-20.31.49.2-MR2-user-20170620235128-release_raw.zip"
b.) Exctract and move recovery.img to your adb-folder on PC
c.) Boot your phone into fastboot/boot mode, connect to PC through USB-Cable
d.) Run cmd in adb folder, then type in the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
e.) Reboot and choose recovery mode - now you have no twrp anymore, but the original recovery menue
f.) Install update, which means, original stock from your sd-card.
Be happy!
It would be nice if you could give me feedback, whether my solution was helpful for you, because it took time to write it and hope it will usefull

Please help me .......:crying:
Yes, I did it with my Zenfone 3 Zoom (ze553kl). So, you have firstly to flash the original recovery - to find, as described, in the raw stock rom zip archive. Or, you can find all original recovery's also here: (not tested by myself) https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w
Copy recovery.img to adb-folder, then flash it in fastboot mode in the cmd with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Also copy the original stock rom with Android N to your sd-card and put it into your phone.
Then reboot your phone into recovery - now you have no twrp anymore, but original recovery. Install now the zip with Android-N-stock-firmware from sd-card. Enjoy!

Boss ,
Thank you very much ...... Your solution absolutely excellent and work very well . I am very happy for your support . But unfortunately I found new problem on my phone ...... After update nougat a white line found on the display......
How can I solved it .......
Waiting for solution.......
Thanks again for your support ........
Glad to hear, that it worked for you as well. About white line I have no idea, but on other pages I have already seen somewhere, that other users also reported about this problem. Try to look at google "ze553kl update white line". You can also search a solution for ze552kl instead of ze553kl, because, as far as I know, the ze552kl (ZenFone 3, without "Zoom") is almost the same device, just with a little worse cam. Therefore, it seems to be longer on the market and to have more users, so there are also more solutions for problems which can occure to this device in the internet. Wish you a good luck!

Very helpful, thanks!
I must've messed something up when I flashed TWRP.
TWRP ran fine, but when I tried to start it up, it stayed stuck at the Android logo.
Then errors popped up when I tried to install the stock rom through TWRP.
I never would've thought or had the guts to restore stock recovery first.
This should get its own thread.
Edit: I think my mistake was unchecking "Mount system partition read-only."

After many days i finally found enough time to try to use your tips.
I tried to convert system.New.DAT to system.img but without success using this program Autotool 3.0
http://www.droidviews.com/convert-and-extract-system-img-and-system-new-dat-files-on-windows/
After this attempt i used a ROM provided by chinese store to flash its content :
system.img
boot.img
recovery.img
Original recovery.img is essential to install other updates.
After that i tried to install other updates recognized directly starting by phone but always without success.
So i have had to install updates using original recovery tool.
Now i got Android 7.1.1 last version installed on my phone but it's impossible to use
TWRP recovery tool.
Obviously it's possible to install TWRP instead of original recovery tool and also possible to make a nandroid backup
but it's impossible to use it to install original ROMs released from Asus and it's not possible
to use to restore nandroid backups.
Is it eventually possible to use a custom ROM ? If it's, which one and possibly compatible with TWRP ?
i solved issue of update, but TWRP ?

i think you need flash full firmware bro ,
1. Download newer version firmware
2. You need Convert system.New.DAT to system.img
3. Move system.img and boot.img to minimal adb & fastboot folder
4. Open minimal adb & fastboot
5. Flash boot.img and system.img

After many days I finally found enough time to try to update my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom to Android Nougat.
To solve the issue, I used an original Rom from the Chinese store because it contains useful files for purpose without any conversion:
boot.img
system.img
recovery.img
I flashed all 3 IMG files.
Recovery.img that it's necessary to get original recovery without which any update can be done.
You must use a microSD and the original recovery tool to be able to upgrade your system.
The problem is that it does not seem possible to use TWRP. It is possible to install it in place of the original recovery and you can do also a nandroid backup but in practice you can not use it to install any updates and restore any nandroid backups.
Is there a custom rom that you can use instead of the original one?

You can download the official image from here:

Just use winrar or something similar to browse the file and you will find a boot.img inside.

I flashed lineage os by copying the .img file into the fastboot folder and then 'fastboot flash system <.img file>
Do you want me to repeat the same process with stock system .img

You updated to Oreo, correct. Of course you did.
The update.zip has inside (extract it) update.app. use heawei update extractor to extract that file. You will get the system.img there. That one will be the correct one for your model and build number.
If yo I updated from regular ota, you may not have this zip file
If this the case you. Will need to download it. From pro-teammt.ru
Link if you need it.

Downgrading to Nougat is not recommended, because EMUI 8 is Treble supported.
That means it has dozens of new partitions and partition lengths. Many people have screwed their phone trying to downgrade.
Unless you have foolproof method of downgrading and correct 'downgrade firmware' (yes, it's different, cause it will re-write all the partitions again), Don't do it.

try this in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot oem relock [your bootloader unlock code]
I have a similar problem and I cannot get back to stock from the RR oero
I used the method to upgrade from 5.1 to oero 8.0 here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/
Then used the Openkirin RR install method using stock recovery. - all goin good but RR has to many crashes.
I have tried to roll back to Stock using the same HWOTA method putting the update files int HWOTA 8 folder, all looks good in twrp and I wipe Cache and Dalvik but it still reboots into RR
I've noticed in Twrp in red letters it says cannot find partition /system
Rebooting into recovery after using to install TWRP it first boots into stock recovery then when i press factory reset it will boot into TWRP.

I have installed Lineage OS Treble GSI via fastboot and may want to return to STOCK EMUI 8.0 in the future but I have a chromebook and can't use the Huawei Update Extractor Tool(Windows app).
Would you be willing to download the "update.zip", extract and post the "system.img" extracted from the "update.app"?
I need the "system.img" for Huawei Mate SE BND-L34C STOCK OREO 8.0
I searched XDA and GOOGLE for the STOCK Mate SE system.img but unable to find.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED, THANKS IN ADVANCE.
