This is a TWRP backup of the stock firmware for V510 GPE GPAD 8.3. They have already been updated. It is completely stock no mods, no root, no busybox. This should ensure that you are able to take future OTAs without issue. Many GPE users have been having problems with the OTAs. The reason is that the OTA does a system verification and any type of modification causes it to fail.
How to flash this:
1. Reboot into bootloader
2. Flash TWRP if you don't already have it. Current version is 2.8.1.0 fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxxxxxxx.img (where xxxxx is the filename)
3. Reboot System
4. Copy the entire contents of the zip file to your TWRP/BACKUPS/LG0000XXXXXXXX folder. Make sure you copy the folder 2014-11-30--23-35-25 LRX21P.L004 or 2014-06-26--18-41-18 KTU84P.L002. If you don't have a backups folder, create one in TWRP by choosing Backup, then backup something like the boot partition.
5. Reboot to Recovery Vol Dwn+Pwr or adb reboot recovery.
6. Choose Restore and select 2014-11-30--23-35-25 LRX21P.L004 or 2014-06-26--18-41-18 KTU84P.L002
7. Once finished Reboot System.
8. Upon boot you should be greeted with the usual Setup screens.
9. Reboot into bootloader
10. (Optional for Kit Kat) Flash stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery 17-recovery.img
11. Reboot into system
.
Flashing the stock recovery is optional however if you want a completely stock experience and ensure future OTAs, you probably want to do so. Also note that you must unroot to take any future OTAs.
To reroot flash latest version of TWRP.

You did an excellent job on this thread. Thanks for doing this for our small community.
BTW: regarding recovery for our device, the latest (and in fact only) that I see is TWRP 2.7.0.1 in the Original Android Development section.
Agreed. I wasn't able to flash 4.4.4 any other way. Tried everything, kept getting errors. This finally worked!

Figured it will come in handy to have this online for everyone in the future...when I bought the device when it was announced thought there would be more dev on it...but that hasn't been the case. Luckily we at least have twrp.
No partitions selected for restore.

I was not able to update using your image and I don't know why. Everything was done correctly as far as I know. I downloaded and unpacked the zip and placed it in the back apps folder of TWRP and rebooted into recovery and tried restore with no success during the system restore it stops halfway through and says failed.
I tried downloading the file twice, installing the file from my computer, changing my SD card, deleting everything and trying, deleting just dalvik cache a,updating the partition separately, and was able to update the boot partition but not system and data. I honestly don't know what the trouble is as I was able to restore my own back up several times.if anybody has any insight into what is happening here please tell me. I would really like to install the update! I don't know why it is not allowing me to.

First off, I use solid explorer, dual pane. Very easy to navigate for me.
I only copied system. I didn't even wipe. All my data and settings were intact. As close to an OTA I could get. The system backup was 790.95mb
It sounds like you did everything right to me. I included a screen shot of what it looked like after i clicked the backup.zip and moved the unzipped backup to the TWRP backup folder.

Do I need to uninstall Xposed Framework, unroot, restore the stock kernel, etc., before restoring this system back up TWRP? I assume the answer is no, though I'll need to reinstall those afterward, but I figured I'd check first!
UPDATE: Never mind. I just went ahead and restored it successfully and am in the process of restoring my apps from TiBu now. Thanks again for providing this for those of us who couldn't upgrade to 4.4.4 any other way!
Hey guys,
first off thank you for posting this tutorial, I was able to perform the backup0 and am currently on 4.4.4.
I did, however, run into a slight hiccup when I was trying to flash the stock recovery. I kept getting messages about partitions and so forth. I entered in the following commands from beginning to end:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery 17-recovery.img
but as I said I can't get the job done lol.
Any ideas?

A few things to check:
you need to have usb debugging checked on phone
you need the recovery image in same folder as your fastboot.exe/adb files
you need to cd to that directory/folder

Hi,
Can you please tell me where to find TWRP 2.7.x for the V510. I currently have 2.6.3.0, I believe?
Thanks

However, download link in OP is currently broken. I PMed the OP about it.
Has anyone gotten the error "E: No partitions selected for restore." when trying to flash the recovery?
Hi all,
I went ahead and rooted my Mate 10 Pro today - I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and got it running pretty sweet. Then, like a tool - tried installing xposed framework and got myself into a boot loop.
I can get to fastboot, I can get into twrp - but for the life of me don't know how to get a system wipe and fresh format! I've tried flashing LineageOS - but that's stuck on a loading screen and then boot loops after about 10minutes.
What happens is I turn my phone on - see the bootloader message - if I do nothing there's a 50/50 changes Huawei's eRecovery window opens (where if i connect it to the wifi, it fails and gives me the option of reboot or shutdown) or LineageOS boot animation loops for about 10minutes before shutting down.
At this stage, I don't mind what rom i get working - i just want something working and I'm really regretting xposed (I should of googled!).
I really don't want to pay $40 usd - and am happy tinkering around, but would appreciate some solid advice on how I can use TWRP to wipe everything and start again!
I'm also a little confused as to why eRecovery is coming up at all - and why it can't download anything!!!!!
Can someone help me get a phone back?
Thanks!
Yeah, I bootlooped going with xposed too, but I have the Mate 10 (regular) and no TWRP. Can you get to TWRP and simply flash a clean ROM? If not, which I presume is the case, can you get to Fastboot? To try, when you get to the eRecovery window, use the option to shut down your phone. Then press the power button and, while holding it, plus in your USB cable (the other end which should already be attached to your computer). Then go to Mankindtw's thread for flashing ROMs (Mate 10 Flash Oreo one). Basically, you download three zip files from a russian language page with all the latest Huawei ROMs, repackage them within his utility, and then flash them from within his utility. Worked for me.
download update.zip (for your firmware) from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database
Extract update.app from update.zip
Download Huawei Update Extractor (open it and go to settings and disable header check)
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor
Extract SYSTEM from update.app using Huawei Update Extractor.
(Not sure if Xposed modifies vendor too, so you might have to extract that as well)
Fastboot flash system system.img
See if it boots now. If not you could try extracting recovery_ramdisk and flash recovery_ramdisk.img to the recovery_ramdisk partition then factory reset from stock recovery.
If it does modify vendor you'd have to flash vendor as well.
Or you could try flashing lineage os system, flash recovery_ramdisk and factory reset from stock recovery (factory reset is needed to get aosp roms running)
If it still fails, use mankindtws HWOTA as described by rogerinnyc above. (link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814)

The problem I'm having now is, on my win7 and win10 pc's - when I enter fastboot, neither PC will accept drivers for it and therefore, I can't fastboot flash anything.
I just get '<waiting for device>' even when plugged in (and windows 'driver no successful' message)
Is there a way to transfer the files via twrp adb sideload?

Sadly no, this corresponds to reflashing the whole phone, block by block.
have you tried to find matching drivers ? (it should be pretty easy on windows 10 normally...)

Install this regfix https://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei-mate-10-fastboot-usb-device-not-recognised-fix
However, you would probably have had problems before too when flashing twrp.
But worth a shot I guess.
Didn't see it said you tried on win 7 too.
And if it worked before on Win 10 it should work without it.
I guess you could push system.img to /data/system.img then tap Install and selectInternal storage, tap on (go up one level) in browser, now you'll be at /. Tap on /data and then on system.img. Flash to 'System Image'.
Edit: I've tested with recovery and that flashes fine from /data/.
please see below;
Hi all. My SDCARD was encrypted in TWRP, so I googled and saw I should run this command;
recovery --wipe_data --set_filesystem_encryption=off
Which I did on TWRP terminal - and now im boot looping again. I tried fastboot system.img and it's still bootloading. I see there's supposed to be a 'boot.img' in my update.app, but there isn't.
Any ideas?

Boot.img is for Nougat. Oreo uses ramdisk.
Try wiping data in TWRP (Wipe - Format Data).
You can't turn off encryption in TWRP. It's controlled by /vendor/etc/*.fstab (* = kirin970 in this case). (You can temporarily turn off encryption but it re-encrypts after booting if fstab is untouched)
But removing encryption won't fix you bootlooping, and that command you used is for Full disk encryption, we use file based encryption.
You could also try flashing back stock recovery and do factory reset from there.
Edit: Oh, you're the guy who PM'd me
I've reflashed my 'system.img' as before - but im having trouble getting into factory reset menu.
all it ever does is go into e'Recovery instead, which is useless.
Also, my booting image is still a green page of pixels - rather than a huawei logo.
Hi. I have a bla-a09 and need help. can boot into twrp but will not boot.
I've bricked my phone and am in need of help!
What I've done:
Unlocked bootloader with a code from DC-Unlocker then using minimal ADB and Fastboot to unlock
Flashed TWRP 3.1.1
Installed Magisk
Took TWRP backup - but I was unable to backup Data (I believe this was due to encryption - recovery.log shwed errors initially on Bluedorid files)
Wiped data with TWPR to try and do a factory reset
This is where my problems started and now I cant restore boot with TWPR the error is "No such file or directory"
I can ADB pull my recovery.log which says
Read info file, restore size is 12444160
Restoring 6 partitions...
Total restore size is 4512MB
I:Restore filename is: /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/L5NDU17B18000539/Stock V7 2018-06-23--16-58-45/boot.emmc.win
I:Restore file system is: 'emmc'.
I:Restore file system is: 'emmc'.
Restoring Boot...
Error opening: '' (No such file or directory)
I can restore OEM recovery and do a factory reset but it hangs at 99%
power down then it goes back to factory reset and goes to 100% - message "Reset Successful!"
but... then it gets stuck in a boot loop
I've tried downloading other stock ROMS and extracting and flashing images via fastboot (Boot, cust, product, recovery, system, vendor, version)
I've tried Huawei Multi-tool but I lack the Userdata.img disk image
I've tried flashing Resurrection Remix N v5.8.5 For Honor 9 (STF) but without success, although the TWRP install says it is successful and the vendor.img flashes fine.
I've tried extracting UPDATE.app files and putting them in sd_card/dload and then 3 button resetting
I've tried the above in external_sd/dload (not sure why - desperation)
I've tried looking on as many threads as I can find on XDA but with no luck
I can always get to fastboot, flash TWRP or OEM recovery, I can also run ADB commands via Putty (in command line they display strangely)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am at a loss an quite frustrated, and have been working on this for maybe 15 hours now.:crying:
LOL, Stop your mumbo-jumbos.
I guess you'r still with nougat partitioning because you're using a pretty much outdated twrp.
So just dload flash a nougat 'service repair firmware' from the same region you're firmware is actually, and not any random update.app you 'made' yourself.
For this you'll need a micro-sdcard (or usb-otg) exfat formated :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892
Fixed!
Thank you, I think I even saw this thread but for some reason did not download the file, also the exfat formatting tip was excellent. I owe you a beer!
Can I always use this method to go back if I totally destroy things again even If I update to Oreo?

Unfortunatly, there only nougat 'service repair firmware' available publicly as far I know.
So, for now, you can only use this when on nougat.
When on oreo, you should use HuRUpdater with oreo's Twrp.
Or if you're oreo device is really messed badly, a paying app called DC-Phoenix then HuRUpdater.
Hello,
I made a mistake when rooting the tablet (BTV-W09), I think related to using HiSuite to restore a backup which then basically left me without a working OS, since I needed to input an unlock code with no keyboard.
Long story short after trying many methods like "dload" via sdcard with firmware finder files or using HuRUUpdater via TWRP all I have right now is a completely clean tablet, no OS installed, all I can do is
1. Boot into fastboot but adb doesn't work I assume it only does when OS is installed, so this is completely useless for me. Also of course HiSuite doesn't recognize the tablet here or in any other mode whatsoever.
2. Boot into upgrade mode but it fails to flash UPDATE.APP from sdcard/dload. I'm using the same exact firmware I was using before this fiasco.
3. Boot into eRecovery but I don't get any options to factory reset, never did (and of course after wiping everything that's gone I guess if it ever could be enabled), I can only "download from internet" but it ALWAYS fails with getting package info error or something like that, apparently it's common for people to get this.
4. Boot into TWRP, but I cannot flash update.zip, it fails with "update package from zip failed"
I have the bootloader unlocked of course. And SDCard is working, 100% functional, no errors.
Is there any way to flash stock firmware on this thing or is it a paperweight now.
Thanks for you time
HuRuUpdater did the trick as explained here. Not sure if the NANDROID backup restore was necessary prior to that, probably yes as all the partitions were cleared.
So I just rooted my pixel 6 using the correct original img from google and Magisk. This worked great and I got root access (active boot partition was a if it’s somehow relevant). Now I wanted to use all the functions of nethunter (which I downloaded and installed from nethunter store or something like that), so I wanted to install the nethunter Kernel for my device. Pixel 6 is not officialy supported by kali or not leaked yet so I found pre build nethunter kernel for pixel 6 on xda developers.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...o-oriole-raven-kernel-kali-nethunter.4461589/
So I went in to the mega folder and into the mad-kali-maxhunter-kernel folder. Then into the p6_p6pro folder. Then I just downloaded the maxhunter zip thing for oriole because it stands for p6 ig. Then I flashed this zip file using the Franco kernel manager as recommended in the thread. My device restart and didn’t start up again. So I just tried getting in fast boot and I got it. Now I thought i would just flash the patched magisk img I made for rooting the device previousl. So I did that using fastboot flash boot and so on. Next my device was in an bootloop still, so then I flashed the very original google official img for the device. Still boot loop, so then I wanted to do recovery from fastboot on the phone when I started factory reset mode the phone was just stuck in the google logo. Then I wiped all data using the fast boot tools from my computer. It wiped it but said stuff like the file system is not formatted or not the right format or so but still wiped the data. Still boot loop. So now I switched the active boot partition from a to b. This time the phone said like waiting for command and so on. So I watched a tutorial and got further, now I was able to get to the factory reset mode did. a reset and started. Nothing realy happened and it jumped back to fastboot mode. I thought maybe because in boot b is no img to boot. So I flashed the official google img again but on b. Still bootloop. Now I have a problem. Pls help me.
You should consider trying Google's official Android Flash Tool, it might succeed where your manual flashing failed -- especially considering it was set up by Google and might have better/further checks and such...
Yes, I would recommend Android Flash Tool also. Its helped me a couple times to recover when I couldn't boot. It gives you options for boot.img right before flashing your phone so everything you'll need should be there
@simplepinoi177 i would really like to use it but its using adb and adb is not passible only fastboot so my device isnt available. EDIT: Nvermind i didnt read correctly.
Thank y'all so much it worked!!!
Great. Android Flash tool ftw again
