Hi all
I'd like to convert an ota update package from .zip to boot/recovery/system images i googled it for sometime and cant seem to find any helpful info on how to do it.
First off im using GR5 KII-L21 and before i started this journey i was @ android 5.1.1 the updated manually -used this- to android 6.0.1 then flashed twrp onto my phone and then rooted it. while i was tweaking and modding i messed something up and as usual i didnt make a twrp backup before i started playing with my system. and twrp always fails to install the update package i used to get from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 and im stuck
I got a twrp backup for the gr5 kii-l21 somewhere from here flashed it and im back to 5.0.1 now a new issue arises when i try to update via ota to 5.1.1 the update always fails with "software update failed" message and i cant find the local update option to use the 6.0.1 update. So i got myself one of them kiwi 6.0.1 update.app and extracted the boot/recovery/system images and flashed them via adb. Now im on 6.0.1 again but still cant see the local update option in the updater app. It works and everything but it feels wrong somehow. The updater app is trying to update the 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 even tho its on 6.0.1 now.
If its not possible to convert the .zip update to images .img I'd like to have the original 5.0.1 for the GR5 KII-L21 with boot and recovery images or as a twrp backup and i'll work my way from there, thanks.

The stock recoveries are towards the bottom of the post. You can use Rashr or flashify from play store to flash. I prefer Rashr personally.
I just noticed you said l21. Sorry these are for l24

your phone must also pass the system partition check
you need an untouched system.img so you can revert to stock
If you want to avoid all this in the future it's quite simple
before doing anything to your phone with the phone turned off
plug phone into PC / hold volume down + power to enter the bootloader
from the PC command prompt use
fastboot boot TWRP.img
after it boots go to Backup and backup
Boot
Recovery
system (not system.img)
cust
oeminfo
efs1
efs2
firmware
modem
Save this backup to your PC so you can restore it for the next OTA update
Note: when restoring for the update only restore Boot / Recovery / System
the rest of the files are just in case something happens to your phone and you need them.

Hi, if I install TWRP and then do a complete backup will it backup my stock recovery as well or is there another way to backup the stock recovery?
P.S. I already have the backup of L22- B340 and when restored it doesn't get back to stock recovery. I'm completely clueless about how to extract the stock recovery.

to make more clarity..
now am having stock rom EMUI 3.1 on KIW-L21C185 B140 (middle east variant) with stock recovery and root enabled.
previously using TWRP as recovery. never installed custom rom.
despite using stock recovery and stock rom, ota update failed during update (failure happens 25-30%)
i dont have an untouched system image for KIW-L21C185 B140 (middle east variant), if flashing this with TWRP solve the issue please provide link.
TWRP backup need to done after only update right?
what if i install "stock rom + stock recovery" using twrp? if it will be working please provide file link.
not sure both are same. used to do this way on samsung s2.
ps : while in recovery mode after failed ota update failure it asked for a recovery update. and recovery update is also failed due to some failure to gather information. sorry for missing the exact reason for recovery update failure. stock recovery installed from the file you provided.
Thanks

no you boot recovery.img so you can backup stock recovery
your backup was done after TWRP was flashed ... stock recovery is overwritten when you Flash TWRP
Their is a collection of Stock recovery's in the File Depot. If you have one that's not in the list please share it with the others

Unroot, do a factory reset and try to apply update again.
If that does not work, you can always try a force update.

Hi everyone, I went from CM 13 to stock by restoring from TWRP. everything worked flawlessly except that I remember that I'm running EMUI 3.1, the Ram displays 1gb and the internal display 4gb in the about phone (although it displays normal in the file manager and running apps)
I am now trying to update from EMUI 2.0 to 4.0, also I am running TWRP and would like to get back to recovery stock as well. Please tell me if I need to get back to recovery stock before updating or the update will remove it and replace it with stock for me.
Also, Problem is my model is KII-L22 and all i see is KIW-L22 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
will I not have any problems using those updates with my KII-L22?
Update:
After reading some guides, i decided to flash it via adb by extracting the update contents such as system img and boot img and flashing it manually via cmd. I am now running at emui 4.0 no problems encountered so far.
Question is did I not miss anything? My plan was to flash stock recovery and update the update zip.
Not quite sure if this method works
Need your help.
My Le Max 2 is running 5.9.023S stock rom at the moment. Recovery has been changed back to Stock recovery (previously is TWRP).
The Rom update keep prompting for new Stable version 5.9.026S but when I follow OTA update it download, restart to Recovery try to update and Failed with Status "Failed to Update".
I even download the Rom file, change it to update.zip and do manual flash but still failed.
Can you guide on how to update this version?
Thanks a lot.
First flash TWRP back via Fastboot. You can flash the any stock official update 26S use TWRP just flash it normal as other custom rom. Note your current TWRP recovery will be replace by EUI stock recovery so you will have to flash TWRP again after installed 26S by Fastboot/other way.
I have a problem like that and i used TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flashed 23S again to restore some chinese apps that i removed earlier.
Then i updated without any problem to 26S.
The OTA update verifies the checksum of the modem, bootanimation, boot.img and so on. So, if you altered/replaced some of these, the updater script fails. Flashing the entire 23S from scratch obviously put all the correct files in the right place.
Where do you find the official 5.9.026S?
My phone is running on 5.9.023S and tells me its up to date.
Also on the Leeco homepage is the lastest 23S.........
I need some help also
My phone x829 arrived with 16s
I swapped some custom ROMs with twrp and at the end I finally installed the official 20s and I choosed to replace twrp with custom recovery
The problem is almost 2 months now and I don't have any message for ota update for 23 or 26s
What can I do?
Thanks in advance
16s is the last available rom for x829. To see updates coming, you must firstly flash a chinese rom
That's what I m saying
I have flashed and installed the 20s this is the Chinese rom,but since then I have no ota,2 months and no ota
You are right. I try to flash it back twice and now able to update to 26S. it works fine now. Thanks a lot.
Hey guys,
I've got a MediaPad M5 Pro (CMR-AL19C432) wih an unlocked bootloader and have been running a (now abandoned) version of CarbonROM from OpenKirin (EMUI 8.0-based) for about a year. I wanted to switch to the latest OmniROM version offered by OpenKirin (EMUI 9.0 based) and in order to do so, was told in the OpenKirin support chat on Telegram that I needed to go back to stock EMUI 8.0, upgrade from there to EMUI 9.0 and could then flash OmniROM. SO far, so good.
I downloaded the latest EMUI 8.0 based FullOTA (B196 from March of 2019) from the pro-teammt.ru website, extracted the appropriate files from the update.app and flashed them through fastboot. I flashed system.img, ramdisk.img, kernel.img and recovery_ramdis.img (the latter two which may or may not have been stupid, there is a guid on the OpenKirin website on how to flash files from a stock ROM and it lists those four files, so I flashed them all), then did a factory reset/data wipe in Huawei eRecovery.
This resulted in a boot loop (the EMUI 8.0 boot animation and sound come up, then the device reboots).
I also tried flashing the same four files from the B196 from January of 2019 and B161 (which I believe is what the latest version I had on the device before going over to OpenKirin), with the same results.
I purchased a three-day version of DC Phoenix, hoping I might be able to fix things that way, but it won't flash any of the FullOTA update.app files, claiming those can't be flashed and the site doesn't offer any flashable ROM for my device (only for CMR-AL09).
I'm at the end of my rope here and would appreciate any help in turning my device back into a usable tablet from being a paperweight right now.
The fix you are looking for is here!

Grab one of these and try a flash with the dload on sdcard method.
Just a note, this will relock your bootloader. Just redo the oem unlock with fastboot with the old code, the code will be the same as before.
