Did you flash stock recovery or still have twrp? Am not sure whether it plays a role or not?
Try to update couple of times, some users reported that trying multiple times makes it work sometimes...

Just use huawei update extractor to extract recovery.img from the stock firmware B180.

Yep, flashing recovery, boot and system does not have any effect on user apps.
System apps will be restored to their original state but your data and user apps remain the same. Did it multiple times.
Still, keeping a backup is always a good idea.

thnx i will try it later or tomorrow

You'll definitely need the recovery for the firmware your running, so if u got b180 you'll need b180 recovery and then b371 UPDATE.APP

i have it. and it started to flash so it could be system partition. but i dont remeber that i changed something there

oh i got it
1. recovery
2.recovery2
3.boot
4. system
images restored
then the update OTA restarted?
running!

B320 coming soon

https://community.gethuawei.com/#
"This week Huawei is rolling out a new build B320 to Mate2 testers. The update was already to provided to small group of our "UUF" testers, and we were told that it would be delivered by OTA to devices that had previously installed the first public build B309. Yesterday I told testers that the OTA update would arrive by today, but that does not appear to have happened yet. If you are still on B309 and you would like to download B320, please send me a private message with your gmail and I will share it with you."

Just received the B20 OTA update on my HAM. I am not a beta tester. Haven't even tested it out yet. Still upgrading as we speak.
Error installing B320 with TWRP-L
gettting:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/bin/appp_process32"...)
and
E:unknown command [update_log]
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/media/0/HwOUC/update_sign.zip'
E: Error installing zip file '/data/media/0/HwOUC/update_sign.zip'
Any way around this?
When I tried to download and install it, it verified the download and when it rebooted it rebooted into TWRP but when I told it to reboot the system from the menu It was still B309 and not B320.trying to download it again now. If this doesn't work I may just have to get the update files and install it that way.

Was able to get it installed, had to use the cleanup option in SuperSU to remove root then it worked. In the process of resetting up my root apps now. Does anybody know if this update fixes the Stagefright exploit that was recently discovered it wasn't in the update log .
I have two questions:
1. I checked for OTA updates, but I got "No Updates". Can we download the update manually.
2. I have TWRP installed. Does anyone have stock recovery for Lollipop because I didn't backup mine.

Surprisingly, I checked for OTA update just now and bam! I'm downloading it. I basically haven't uninstalled any system app. However, I have root access. Did you have to uninstall root ?
I had to for it to finish install. Also had to flash stock recovery. Used the cleanup option in SuperSU and then did the install.
What does 320 fix? Still not sure if I want to update from JB yet because I want my Xposed modules!

Yes, but by updating to Lollipop you effectively had the stock recovery; not TWRP. Did you install TWRP after you upgraded to Lollipop ?

Oh, damn, forgot about that. Good point. No, I did not, so I would have stock recovery. Never thought about the update after the fact to LP. My bad.
So, the question now is, how can I get Lollipop stock recovery back ? I didn't back it up when I installed TWRP because I presumed I'll just download it when I need it and flash it over TWRP as I did with JB. Anyone ?
Could you downgrade to JB and then upgrade to LP again? Wouldn't that ensure you get stock recovery back?
I'm not going to even try that. Can you imagine how long that'll take ?

Error when trying to update to EMUI 4.0/ Marshmallow after rooting

Recently Huawei released the official Marshmallow update for Honor5x. I followed the update from setting but only to be restarted and brought to TWRP recovery without any updates. So, I downloaded the updated manually ( so I can flash via TWRP ) only to find the update is not in .image but .app, which means TWRP won't be able to flash the update.
So I took alternatives to install back the stock recovery from Huawei, which I succeeded and I got back my Huawei Stock Recovery. I then try updating via setting update, it downloaded the update, and installed it via stock recovery. But halfaway updating I got ' System Failed to Update '. I suspect it might have to do with my Cyanogen Mod that I installed 2 months ago.
Any idea how I can update to official Marshmallow?

Download latest firmware on a PC, use huawei update extractor to extract boot, system, Cust and recovery images.
Flash them in fastboot mode and then do a forced update.
(UPDATE.APP in dload folder in root of SD, turn off phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until boot)
YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR APPS AND DATA so make a backup before doing this.

Download you phone's stock firmware(refer to the file depot thread). After that, use Huawei Update Extractor and extract the files in update.app, you should get system.img, recovery.img, boot.img and flash them all using fastboot.

Nexus 6p DP2 OTA captured

A reddit user captured his link to the DP
Here is the link
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../f9cb176ee75399a48e927d9f1bd6aeb6a643272c.zip
Credit: https://m.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/5edfam/captured_my_ota_url/?compact=true
Flash guide: *should* work
1. Boot twrp on DP1
2. flash SU of choice
3. reboot
4. install FlashFire from play store
5. Select "Flash firmware package"
6. Select the zip
7. Flash it!
**** A FEW DISCLAIMERS
**** TWRP seems to be based on 6.0.1 and the OTA can only be flashed on 7.1.1
**** In this case twrp will NOT flash this OTA file
**** FlashFire IS REQUIRED
**** I am not google. Yes I am sorry that force encrypt wiped your data or you got stuck in
**** a boot loop because you flashed it incorrectly BUT I am NOT google, I am NOT even
**** the person who captured the link for the ota ALL I DID WAS SHARE IT
**** If your data partition got wiped, you got stuck in a boot loop, or the guide didn't work
**** chances are you did something wrong
**** if you would like support but Google up in the DMs
**** I am happy to help just know I won't troubleshoot what you screwed up
Would we get a full OTA as well?

If you're rooted, use flash fire from play. It restores twrp and root after updating. Haven't used any other method. No problems. Best app ever.
Just updated. Sound louder, November security patch and overall smoother scrolling.
No regrets getting the 6P. Amazing phone.?
It work fined at my Nexus 6p. All the rooted apps working fine. Thank you very much for your sharing. Appreciated it.
Just curius, has anyone of you guys unencrypted?
I installed it with flashfire but I'm still at DP1... Am I doing something wrong?
I installed it as flash zip or ota but nothing still got the message to update.
Is it because I have installed custom kernel?
Can't flash it in TWRP --> error
edit: I got E3001: the build fingerprint doesn't match. How can I fix this?
I succesfully flashed using Flashfire.
First thing I noticed is the many (repeating) superuser notifications I get for apps getting root during boot.

the same for me... I only have twrp and have modified system... maybe is because of that... but I tought that would not be a problem... guess I'm going the twrp way
hmm, now I get it... this is not a full ota file.
Will I be able to flash it via TWRP like I did with the full OTA file from DP1 ??
^You need the full ota not this type of ota...
So this is the update from DP1 to DP2, correct? Is there any other way to install it besides with Flashfire? I've always installed from my PC, so is there any way to sideload it or install the zip through TWRP?

Should I use flash firmware option instead of flash OTA?
Also there are further options to select like recovery etc. What about them?

Yesterday I received the notification. Download the file from here, as I am rooted, twrp and custome kernel.
I tried to flash this via flashfire, but after phone reboots, nothing happens... am I doing something wrong??
I open flashfire, choose Flash ZIP or OTA, choose the file, on the options I don't change anything (it only has Restore boot and recovery images ticked) and then on the main screen I press Flash. Then phone reboots and nothing happens, it enters again on android.

I didn't even try, cause I can enter on twrp fine. As I said, I have twrp and root. My sys is obviously modified. I'm not even trying to sideloaded over bootloader cause it wont work. The same thing on TWRP. I think that sideloading on TWRP only works with full OTAs and not with this one, that is an incremental OTA file, unless I'm completely wrong (I wish).
Anyone's got a changelog for those 26 MB of 'system stability and performance' ?

Download the full Google image- not OTA and flash that. If you can still boot the OS, use FF to flash boot, system, vendor. If you cannot boot OS, use ADB Fastboot to flash those partitions. Yes, I used the full image to go from DP2 to Public Release using FF. If more details are needed, check out the FF thread.

Manual upgrading?

Hi all.
Honor 9 with unlocked bootloader and FRP. I'm on 8.0.0.366, rooted via Magisk's modded ramdisk and stock recovery.
AFAIK Otas should not work anymore.
According to Huawei Firmware Finder, OTA update to .368 is available and approved for my IMEI.
I tried to upgrade putting main update.app file (from the full-ota-mf) in SDCARD\dload and booting in software update mode. Process fails with software update error at 5%.
Same with 367.
Furthermore there are multiple update.app in the downloadable files, how to flash all updates?
Is there a way to manually upgrade the phone without factory resetting it?
I would avoid installing a custom recovery, maybe in beta.
I'm also comfortable with bare fastboot, could I flash all needed images just skipping data?
Thanks
I had the same problem with update.
I used this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/how-to-root-honor-9-stf-l09c432b360a-t3778110 and flashed newest official ROM and Proto 8 kernel and it's awesome.
You can backup your data with hisuite and recover after fleshing. Worked for me very well.

Yep, I did the same. Got from b360 to b369 without factory reset. No issues.
1. TWRP 2. HuRUpdater with b369 from Firmware Finder 3. Magisk 4. Proto8 kernel+Split injector
All flashed from TWRP. TWRP flashed from fastboot. The same TWRP was renamed and put in the HuRUpdater folder.

SDCARD\dload won't work with update.app from Full-ota-mf ; maybe the full-ota-mf-pv but it's not sure. I believe it only work in firmware mode (dload) with 'service repair firmware'.
