Honor official OTAs includes Update.app files which can only be flashed by stock recovery .
Twrp wasnt implemented in a way to extract and push each file in its respective partitions .
This is the reason why the flash fails at some percentage of flashing .
As soon as the Updater script reaches a point to push the files in update.app , twrp can't do the job and it fails to flash .
So only fix is by flashing stock recovery to flash update instead of using custom recoveries .

I have official unlocked bootloader, with TWRP that patches boot.img automatically, and rooted Global Beta ROM on SD version. I successfully flashed full ROM zip without any problem, by just flashing in TWRP without any modifications or any other boot.img.
But I never flashed OTA before. I'm a little paranoid about this, I don't wanna brick my phone again. By my given condition, I should be able to flash OTA zips without any modifications, and keeping my TWRP and unlocked bootloader, right?

You don't need boot.img if you use official TWRP.

Flash TWRP (just check the Screenshots) and after that you can flash OTA without problems (I did it 2 times). Have no problems.
But first take the new TWRP and make a backup with EFS on a USB Stick or sd card. If something go wrong you can restore your RN3P.
Official twrp?
Lol yea u mite be able to flash ota with official twrp but won't it lock the bootloader and boot.img..
But there mite be a way to make it work .
Use the original boot.img of the current ROM and flash then flash the otathat(so there won't be error 7) will fix the issue .and the twrp will auto patch the boot.img after update
As the tiltle says I want to install ota update on my phone. It's bootloader is officially unlocked, rooted amd xposed is also installed. I'm right now on cofface twrp.
Unless you made a backup of unmodified stock boot and system before rooting etc.
The ota will probably fail.
If you have made a backup of them? Then restore the backup and apply the OTA.
Make backups again if the OTA gets applied. Then root and install xposed again.
If you can follow this thread you see the steps involved in applying an ota.

I didnt made the back up of those files but today i unrooted, uninstalled xposed, flashed stock recovery but still ota fails.
i even followed the guide and replaced emmc file and modified updater script but twrp was not able to flash the update and can i install recovery rom using twrp even when im rooted and xposed is install adn do i lose data by flashing it?
Once you have modified your system and boot images. you can not unmodified them by removing the changes. Because the images will still be modified!
I don't know if you can flash the latest rom, without losing your data. What rom are you using?
I flashed xiaomi.eu rom, to avoid having to worry about getting and applying OTA updates. As detail in my previous post.
With xiaomi.eu rom, I can flash the updated roms without losing data.
You could try, making a TWRP backup of your data partition.
Flash the latest version of your rom.
Then if data gets wiped, restore the TWRP backup of data partition.
My phone was officially unlocked, used alka twrp. I can still have ota update of cause failed on incremental update, alter rebooted the phone, I received the second ota update full rom and flashed it , flashed superSU and exposed v86 with success.

To flash recovery MIUI rom through twrp, delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from the firmware_update folder inside the rom zip file, and then flash rom through ALKA TWRP .
To update rom, download OTA through updater app or MIUI site and then open the OTA zip file and delete emmc_appsboot.mbn file inside the firmware-update folder and then flash through ALKA TWRP .

This may be known to many but there are many users who were struggling with this.
Hello Folks,
Was getting few requests on XDA, Telegram and Facebook for this. As title says, there were few users reporting OTA failures while they were rooted with Magisk. Yes, that's obvious, it will fail as you have modified the boot.img (ramdisk) and stock recovery (Recovery_ramdisk.img) while rooting and installing TWRP.
Please follow below steps to update via OTA if you were rooted or using magisk.
Uninstall busybox binaries and Xposed framework (if you are using by any chance)
Uninstall Magisk (inside the app or by flashing the magisk uninstaller via TWRP)
Download update.app of your current firmware and extract stock recovery and boot file via Huawei extractor
Flash stock recovery of your actual variant as fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Flash stock boot as fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
Boot to system.
Perform OTA update and reboot.
Root your phone again if you want.
Enjoy.
You could just :
1.patch the new ramdisk's update via magiskmanager then,
2.update via HuRUpdater without removing your root before,
3.then reboot straight to fastboot, and flash your new patched ramdisk
4.reboot to your rooted updated firmware with magisk module still working and root mods still applyied.
PS: I don't know about xposed frameworks

Do we need to keep "Enable OEM Unlock" checked or unchecked in developer settings?

Desperate help needed to go back to stock (Mate 10 Pro EMUI 8 TWRP & MAGISK) BLA-L09
Hello there. I'm used to Samsung devices and the more I read about Huawei devices the more lost I feel about them.
So, my Mate 10 pro BLA-L09 is currently running Build Number 8.0.0.131(C782). It is rooted with Pretoriano's TWRP and Magisk (Using the All-In-One tool). Of course, I can't get any pending update installed. I would like to receive that EMUI 9 update. I've read people have been successful using HuRupdater and some others ended up with a hard bricked device. Some other people suggest the safest option is to uninstall Magisk, flash stock recovery and let the phone update itself.
So far, I've downloaded the same full 8.0.0.131(C782) firmware I'm on from Firmware Finder and downloaded Huawei Update extractor to extract the recovery from UPDATE.APP. However, instead of having one recovery file to extract, there are 3 Recoveries (named: RECOVERY_RAMDIS, RECOVERY_VBMETA, RECOVERY_VENDOR) and another 4 E-Recoveries.
Can anyone please give me some step by step guidance on what to do? I'll Paypal you a beer if I'm successful with the help.
Cheers!
May be you can simply dload the firmware and then it should be full stock if dload works. Dload guide is given in my signature

Thanks! But I think dload won't work with custom recovery, right? I'm on TWRP. And getting stock recovery is just what I'm trying to achieve.

Dload replaces your twrp and custom boot both. It will bring back your phone to full stock. Else you could extract the images from your firmware and then flash. Let me give you the commands.
Thanks! I just fixed my issue by flashing this through TWRP: it Installs the Oreo stock recovery.
The procedure was:
-Booted into TWRP
-Uninstalled Magisk (by flashing Magisk Uninstall Zip)
-Flashed the stock recovery (from the link below) through TWRP
-Reboot
-Check for system updates, phone will install them with no problems
Phone will be unrooted and will have stock recovery. Don't know if this will work for every stock build, it worked with mine 8.0.0.131(C782).

I was getting the command ready for you. Glad you fixed it yourself
[*]Run the command to boot to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
[*]On fastboot screen, you will have bootloader state as Unlocked and FRP Unlocked.
[*]Flash the stock Recovery Ramdisk as
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk <Recovery_File_Name>.img
[*]If you have installed magisk, flash the stock boot ramdisk.img as
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk <ramdisk_File_Name>
