After downgrade from B330 to B100 and upgrade again stuck at 5% - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
the topic says everything. I am really pissed off, i wanted to make a stock rom phone again and now i messed everything up. Please help me, my phone stuck at 5% of the B330 update. How can I fix this? Please help me.

@MMX35 you can solve this by manually flashing .img files extracted from the ROMs UPDATE.APP via Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash those files via this command:
Code:
fastboot flash <partition-name> <file-name>
After this put UPDATE.APP in dload folder of your External SDCARD to fully perform an update.

Huawei Extractor problems with extracting firmware

Hello xda
I have a very big problem with my phone Huawei Y625-U51, my phohe has stuck on logo 3 days ago and I am not able to reflash the firmware. I have tried playing with that dload folder inside SDcard but everytime I fail with error "Cant find an update on SDcard", so I am trying to manually flash system, recovery etc.. via fastboot but I am not able to unpack the update.app file which is the firmware for the phone, I have downloaded many firmwares for this phone but still I am unsuccessfull. I have tried this method with Huawei P8 lite firmware and extractor worked fine, but in this case it just give me the "invalid file" error.
Anyone please can you help me find solution how to unpack the update.app ?

KIW-TL00 B430 Stock firmware failed to fastboot downgrade, bootloops

I just make my mobile unlock(KIW-TL00C01), I have tried
1. extract the image of UPDATE.app from B228 and fastboot flash (failure)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-beginners-how-to-root-update-fix-t3255452
2. using e-recovery(internal recovery), put firmware zip file(B228) in dload directory in SDcard, inform failed at 5%,
if you put that file in root directory of SDcard, it would stop at 5%.
3. install the 3rd part firmware from TWRP recovery(installed, but reboot would make the touch screen support in all the place, and boot loops)
I have tried install a different firmware through the adb when the touch screen is broken.
I use the following command, I didn't find a one could work.
Code:
recovery --update_package=/external_sd/firmware.zip
The one thing I could do to is put the UPDATE.app of B430 into dload, and retry the method 2 or my mobile is complete brick.
I wonder does the Huawei update the signature or firmware of TrustZone?
I don't know anything I could do to make it work.
if you want to downgrade, you first have to dload the rollback package, then the actual firmware
the rollback package

Oh I don't know that before, but where could I get that?

where are you getting your files ? what is the Full version of your phone KIW-TL00C00 or KIW-TL00C01 or KIW-TL00HC00 ?
you must use the exact version for your phone.
the only useful info on the Honor 7 link you posted is how to flash from dload
nowhere did you say you put update.app in dload folder on ext_sdcard and flash with power + volume up and volume down
First determine the correct file for your phone and then flash it correctly

I tried to use the match file, but failed in rollback, it would always inform me that system update failed.

Follow this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-entering-fastboot-using-key-t3400869
After you entered fastboot, flash twrp, then restart to recovery and copy stock firmware to sdcard.
Even if it fails, you can hold VOL+ button during startup to enter eRecovery, where you can revert to stock using nothing but wireless LAN
P/S : I'm also stuck at bootloops trying to install lineage and mokee, please post a guide if you have done it successfully

Help. Phone keeps booting into twrp recovery after update

I did a noobish thing and tried to get the ota update, it says I have the update but now the phone keeps booting into twrp recovery. Is there any way to fix this? And is there a code like LG has to fix it?

I had the same issue bro. I seriously spent the last 3 days getting this **** fixed. I flashed all 4 of the stock roms, 2-3 different ways before I figured out the way that works 100% YOU'RE WELCOME!
1. What you have to do is download the stock Android 6.0 (USA) rom (google "KIW-L24, Android 6.0.1,EMUI 4.0,C567D003,United States" you can find it on a site called "GizRom." It's a fast download. )
2. Then you must download the Huwaei Update Extractor tool (google "HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3")
3. After that you must unzip the stock rom and open the UPDATE.APP file in the Update Extractor Tool.
Extract Boot.Img and Recovery.img
4. Flash them using these commands in a command prompt (I assume you have ADB tools installed.)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. After that is done, you must extract the "DLOAD" folder from the stock rom file you downloaded onto an SD CARD and place into your phone.
6. Once you have the SD CARD in your phone, press and hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN + POWER. The stock recovery will then install the stock ROM.
It'll take forever, so will the first few times it restarts/boots after installing the rom. Be patient. It will work.
7. Once you get back into Android, you can then run the updater tool to upgrade to the latest OTA. With everything stock, it'll work fine.

Honor 9 no OS installed, TWRP and fastboot with unlock still working

Hi guys, i got my H9 yesterday and because i thought i read enough on this forums i wanted to unlock it then install TWRP and install superSU to gain root access and stick with the stock firmware.
Unlocking went perfectly fine,phone booted to OS, than i flashed twrp 3.1.1-1 as advertised here and made a factory reset. Phone was stuck in bootloop for unknown reason.
I made several wipes and somehow managed to check all boxes in the wipe menu which erased the whole OS.
Now i read here that others have the "no OS" problem too but because i still have all unlocked fastboot and twrp i wanted to ask which method is best to flash back the original FW.
Which stock ROM is safe to install? i have european H9 is STF-L09C432B170 the right one for me?
Which method is the best to install it? Copy the 3 zips to internal stoagre via OTG device and install it out of twrp? I read that there is also a force method where users can push vol up, vol down and power simultaneously and enter the huawei install force mode.
I am quite sad that the phone was stuck in bootloop after twrp install and still dont know what caused it. When i install it from twrp there are 3 zips: update, data full public , hw eu. In which order do they have to e installed and is one of them overwriting the TWRP recovery?
Please give me a short hint/procedure, im quite afraid that i cant get my phone back to work and it is brand new. I dont know what caused the unsolvable bootloop.
Best regards and many thanks
Hi.
Check this:

This help you.
Regards
thanks for the hint but i cant find a solution for me there.
ut this
i copied the 3 .zip files to internal today but TWRP doenst allow me to write them it fails with "write err errno 9"
then i tried to copy the update.pp in DLOAD folder on micro sd but this is not possible because filesize is over 2gb. i tried to format micro sd with twrp to exfat but it till doesnt work. please give me a little hint what to do im completely desperate about the situation.
Today i installed Huawei Multitool and extracted the .img file out of the update.app files, i was able to flash all 4, system, boot, recovery and cust.
Now the rec. menu is back to stock and everything got installed but the phone still isnt booting. i think it is because i missed the userdata.img which i cant find anywhere.
Other users here have the same problem. Is there a firmware package which includes all 5 .img data?
Best regards
i found the official huawei service full repair firmware with all necessary files for unbrick (system, cust, recovery, userdata, boot) flashed them via fastboot but stil device is "hanging" after the warning message that its unlocked. i think it is because i wiped vendor data in twrp but i cant flash vendor.img in fastboot. it is included in the fw package but cant be transfered to phone via fastboot. it stops at part 1/2 because the filesize allowd is around 470mb max but the extracted file has a size of 670. anyone know what to do?
Best regards
You need to go via the Rebrand way with no rebrand. I had the same problem and was trying to use the multitool without success. The oeminfo can be flashed alternatively if it fails during the HWOTA process.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/help/how-flash-oeminfo-t3657499
ok i download all the folders with the .bat file. Then i download C432B150 from the czech site and add it to the update folder. Than i rename the 3 files accoding to the manual and run the .bat file but without rebranding right?
Des this tool any different than the HuaweiMultiTool or fastboot with flash command?
Best regards
I treid out HWOTA, the first step installing twrp is successful than i disattach usb cable as described and enter twrp. Then it says in twrp i have to connect again and press enter but then the bat file stops and doenst go on. i dont come to the point where i can choose rebrand or flash firmware.
Whats wrong here?
edit: i saw in the .sh file that the script executes wait_adb but my phone is not entering adb mode as it seems when in main screen of twrp. is this normal or do i have to set it manually in twrp
best regards
I was able to install the B130 now via 3 button recovery. Now im on B130 but cant update elsewhere. Also the 2 capacitive buttons are not working. Bootloader is locked again. Everything is stock and the phone runs great. When i update with the 3 buton method from external sd, which firmware should i use? i tried B150 full OTA but it aborts after 5% with an error. Do i only need to get a small OTA package now?
How can i put my cap. buttons back to work? Too bad only the 3 button method worked to recover the phone.
Best regards and many thanks.
I did the HWOTA with b120 firmware and then used firmware finder to update to b150.
The bug with capacitive buttons is present till Oreo. I use the home button gestures anyways.
Hope it helps.
ok, thats bad but they worked with the initial revision of b130 and b150 when i downloaded it OTA. Is this something like a fuse like.knox at samsung which happens at custom flashing?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
the HWOTA method doesnt work, the batch file gets stuck after connecting the phone in twrp back to computer. in script it says wait_adb but it is not recognized somehow.
do u know a solution? anotherone here got that problem too.
im very afraid of that, i read here that everything related to twrp 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1 is problematic a lot of people cant boot after installing twrp and can wipe whtever they want the phone never boots fully
whats the difference in the B130/B120 the phone came from huawei and the version flashed via tools? when i got it everything worked
i have this version.
ok so install twrp have frq and bootloader unlocked and then do backup out of recovery? with your file? can you provide download link? is this then a zip file?
I want to solve the thread and how i solved problem.
The B130 service firmware by huawei could be installed via 3 button method, than i was able to go up to the newest B180 via firmwarefinder and DNS method but with not working cap. buttons and flash etc.
Yesterday i installed TWRP 3.1.1-1(temporary) via HWOTA.zip method (ireplaced the older twrp in recovery folder) and successfully installed B120 and got the buttons etc working again. Then installed root and now system works fine and is rooted. My mistake was to install twrp over B130 or B150 which i downloaded OTA at the first day i got the phone. I tested this yesterday to install TWRP along with B150 and unlocked bootloader, infinite bootloop again. With B120 the TWRP 3.1.1-1 works out of the box without any loops.
The 2 trouble solvers where B130 service firmware and HWOTA with B120.
The external SD had to be inserted in card reader on PC because of the large filesize of the B130.
I would recommend to everyone before starting to play with the H9 to move the B130 folders to phone while it is still accessible. When everything bricks like in my case and u still have twrp than you can go to twrp main screen and connect phone to computer to rename the folder with B130 to "dload" and arrange update.app accordingly on PC or in TWRP file manager.
Can i set this topic to [SOLVED] myself?
Best regards

this works flawlessly with 3 button method

Need help recovering from soft brick

Hi everyone,
I have an 10.8 inch wifi only tablet imported from China, non-pro, model CMR-W09C00 which was running firmware B123.
I was playing around trying to convert it to a global firmware and tried to flash it with the same firmware 123 but for CMR-W09C432 using Huawei Firmware Finder.
Turns out this was a pretty bad idea
Now the tablet is not booting and I can't figure out how to recover. Here's what I tried:
1. eRecovery is not working, it downloads the firmware completely and tries to install but fails. It did work fully once before I tried to flash the wrong firmware.
2. Wiping cache and data partition does nothing
3. I have access to fastboot and can unlock/lock the bootloader at will.
4. I have the full-OTA zip file for the original firmware CMR-W09C00B123 and have extracted all the img files contained in update.app
5. I'm trying / hoping to flash images to recover (with bootloader unlocked) but I'm a bit confused at this step.
All the instructions I found in my research mention mostly flashing just boot.img, system.img and recovery.img but I'm missing some of those files from the update.app or I guess they could be named differently. I don't have a boot.img, just a fastboot.img which I'm sure is not the same. I also don't have a recovery.img, just recovery_ramdis, recovery_vbmeta, recovery_vendor, erecovery_ramdis, erecovery_vendo, erecovery_vbmet and erecovery_kerne.
I was able to flash system.img successfully but that didn't help.
Also tried to use the unbrick feature from Huawei Multi-Tool but here again I seem to be missing image files. Multi-Tool says it needs system.img, ramdisk.img, cust.img, ramdisk_recovery.img and userdata.img.
Of those, I think I'm missing cust.img for sure, ramdisk_recovery I might have but it's named differently (recovery_ramdis) and userdata.img I don't think I really need.
I'm attaching a txt file with a list of all the img files I do have in case it can be useful or rings a bell for someone.
Oh yeah, I also tried flashboot update update.zip but it's only giving me this warning:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
error: update package 'update.zip' has no android-info.txt
So...does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Is there a better method to recover that I missed?
Any help is appreciated!
Flash the ramdisk.img to ramdisk and report back please. I have an M3 that is in the same condition as yours, but I am on an extended deployment and won't be able to test this for at least another month :/

Thanks for taking the time to the reply mate, sorry to hear about your M3.
I tried fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img and it said flashed successfully but the device is still not booting. Nothing else seems to have changed either.
Let me know if I misunderstood what you wanted to try or if you have any other ideas.
Cheers

I think I am in a similar spot. I went from a custom ROM back to stock, but now all attempts at installing full OTAs fail. Did you ever figure this out how to fix it?
Thanks
