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.

it's my thread bro lol :laugh:
okay it's not a full rom it just an update to mm based on lolipop
Thx for the help. Now that CM13 supports fingerprint sensor im moving to it instead.
Hi guys, I wanted to install CM13, so I decided to unlock the bootloader, root and then try and flash. But that didn't go as expected, as I wanted to have my fingerprint sensor working, I had to upgrade from MM, but I had LP installed. Here's all I did, in order (remember it's a KIW-L21) :
-Unlock bootloader
-Install TWRP 3.21 and rooting using this guide
- Then I realized I couldn't upgrade from LP. So I tried to revert using the TWRP backup in this guide
- Then I did the official OTA update to B140
And now I'm in bootloop. Any ideas on what to do? Did I brick my phone ?
I can still access recovery, but it's the EMUI recovery, so all I can do is reboot, factory reset or wipe cache. Not much help from that.
Bump.
Okay so I got into fastboot mode. Any ideas on what I should do ? Put back TWRP ?
You need to flash the full stock ROM.
Tuto in French: Fichiers et liens utiles pour le Honor 5X KIW-L21
Thanks a bunch mooms, I had managed to find the Huawei Update Extractor to flash the images by searching for "bricked" or "bootloop" on this forum, but I was unsure of which stock ROM download.
Another question, is it okay to flash the stock B330 if I was on the B140 before ?
Flashing the full b330 should work.
If not, try to flash b130 or b140 first , then b330.

If it was on lollipop, it is best method to flash a Full Lollipop firmware package instead of Marshmallow.
Hi,
I'm trying to debrand my chinese version of Huawei Honor 7 (PLK-TL01H) to European Version (PLK-L01).
As i'm already in Marshmallow version, i should do the following:
1) Downgrade to Android 5.0 PLK-TL01H B190
2) Root the phone thanks to honor 7 MultiTool
3) Flash PLK-L01 B180 version via 3btn force update
4) Flash PLK-L01 B370 version via force update.
I'm trying to rollback (first step) with the file update.app that is B190 version. But i'm already struggling:
1) Force update with *#*#2846579#*#*->select Software Upgrade->select SDCard Upgrade
2) Force update using local update option in settings doesn't work (the option is not available)
3) 3btn give me access to TWRP and not to Force update option (recovery)
I also tried to flash stock recovery, then force update works but stuck at 5% with no error message.
Any idea how to rollback to B190?
Thanks,
Flash the stock recovery of B370 (I assumed it's your current rom) by using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command.
After that, downgrade to B300 and install PLK-TL01H B190 (if your brand is not plk-l01). If it's, first you need to install PLK-L01 B180.
Hi,
can you just be a bit more specific and detail me the steps and how to do? Thank you,

Does flashing stock recovery and force updating gets stuck at 5% using 3 button method?
If yes, I had the same problem, I booted into Android and used the *#*#xxxxxx#*#* method and it worked ok.
May be you can give that a try....

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.

Hello every one
I have GR5 (KII-L21 c185) Egyptian version
I flashed many roms and revert back to stock several times without any troubles but last time I flashed MM stock rom and tried to flash the last MM update (b321) via firmware finder app the wifi stopped working even after I do factory reset, I tried to flash stock recovery using vol+ , vol - and power buttons it failed
also tried to extract boot.img, recovery.img, system.img from update.app and also can't make OTA updates or even buttons one
now I need to get fully stock so I can update to latest MM (b321) officially, can any one help?
i had the same problem and couldn't roll back to lollipop or fix the current marshmallow
so i had to push lollipop system image through adb and then did the same with marshmallow system image
and now it is working fine but still can not update to b321
me too , but now I have the lolipop version i/o Marshmallow one
I installed lineage until I can solve it
same problem
They are released
