Hi all. I keep getting this error after rooting, installing SuperSu and TWRP. When I try to flash a ROM (any ROM), I get stuck. I've tried the latest Resurrection and CM ROMS. Will someone please help me past this last hurdle? Thank you!
I can't upload or link the screenshot but here's the info:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.
Which I have done several times.
Backup ==> select all ==> Swipe to Backup
Wipe ==> Advenced Wipe ==> /System + /Data + /Cache Confirm "Swipe to Wipe" . Try installing again ROM

That did the trick! I put Resurrection OS on there and all is well except for finding a stable GAPPS build.
Not working for me, my device is KII-L21 on stock rom and I'm trying to install official CM13, my device is rooted and have twrp
If your device is wiped It isnt rooted.. Wipe it dont forget Cache partitions try again.

Bro, me sirvió. Muchas gracias
It really works, thanks dude
I think it all boils down to doing a format /system.
Next time I will try that!
Edit: I was wrong, the format /data is needed.
If I don't to the reset I am one of those that always gets error 7.
unmount ->system, data, cache :good:
As I already posted at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70851854&postcount=534,
I am able to avoid the Error 7 (inconsistend data) by switching to gapps mini before installing the update.
Since the experiental build, I do the following within one TWRP session: install latest gapps mini, install the upgrade to latest lineage-nightly and reinstall latest gapps stock.
So far it works for me.
Do a clean install wiping system, data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new ROM is adviced, it will avoid most of problems. For the GApps, I recommend OpenGapps Pico version to install the minimal needed, then you can install the other Google apps you need from the Play Store.
Guys I need some help here. I'm running into the same TWRP error 7 situation. The phone is unlocked, and I've installed kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery. The model of the device is Honor X5 (KIW-CL00)
I've tried flashing both ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161220-kiwi & lineage-14.1-20170419-nightly-kiwi-signed ROM, whether it's flashing from the phone's storage or from the SD card, both ROM are giving me the same error code.
I tried formatting the system, advance wipe function (Dalvik & Cache & Data & System), now I don't even have the default factory ROM on my phone, but I'm still getting the error 7 code.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

U need to edit and repack everything . And do remember that if u mess a single letter it will give an error
Thanks
Sure I wipe advanced by every attempt.
Twrp 3.1.1 the same problem.
But you have right, the Solution for me is not to unzip and zip the file for delete the "assert". Only the way to edit without unpack the File in the Ubuntu "ARCHIVMANAGER" works.
Now it is installed but now I am in a bootloop But this is an other Problem. One step after another.

So , plz upload the updater-script here . I will edit and forward u . Later repack everything as is, lets see if that works . If not , i will build a rom for u especially
Thanks its work fine now. It was my fault, I updated from Lollipop not from Nougat. So I used Huawei Firmbootextraktor extract system.img cust.img recovery.img and boot.img and on my SD I copy ../dload/update.app version B140 Android 5.1.1. Then the Handy started I updated EMUI 4.0 and Android 6.1. Now works my Handy with all zip files where I delete the asserts.
Maybe was the problem, in the assert is wrote "kiwi" and my Handy is a "KIW-L21"
I try update via recovery ( put this file to external strorage only )
1. boot to recovery mode hold Power + Volume Down button
2. Using the Volume buttons to scroll and the Power button to select, choose "Enter
recovery mode
3. Choose apply update from external storage
4. select "reboot system now after finished update

Error Status 7
I have error:
System partition has unexpected contents
E:Error in /sdcard/UL-ASUS_TOON-WW-13.6.5.30-user.zip
(Status 7)
anyone can help me?!
Same issue as well
Getting the same "System partition has unexpected contents (Status 7 )" any idea whats wrong?
It's most likely because of root, and any changes like installing busybox, or having edited the build.prop . I had to wipe system on my padfone x reinstall lollipop 43 then install the marshmallow ota, then root 2.68 then dd the Xmodem.img I found for USA radio bands and the twrp 3.0.0.0 img to get everything working.
Also I'm not sure if flashing without wiping data partition works the same as well as starting from scratch, but I did do it all in one shot and first without data being wiped and worked fine. But I then wiped everything to see how much space I could recover in app storage. I saved myself about a gigabyte and a half to have a total of 4gb remaining after apps were installed (i have a lot of apps)

Thanks to you I have updated my phone to marshmallow using twrp 3.0.0, which allowed me to re-unlock bootloader, and root my phone.
It can be done, you just need to remove a few lines in the updater-script file.
something with ro.fingerprint (that identifies the recovery, it was originally expecting stock).
Replace it inside the zip. Then transfer update to sd card or internal.
After that wipe system, then reflash .43, right after that flash the mm update.
Will take some time but it should work once everything is verified.
reflash bl unlock and twrp (just a precaution) , then you can leave.
It would say no os but ignore it.
First boot takes around 10-15 mins then presto you finally have it.
Haven't encountered any bugs yet and it freed up a lot of storage space. Makes me wonder why I had to wait for the update to come to me, so glad I'm done with that.
So that concludes the last major update for the padfone s.....
Can u help me pls? I've tried unroot ,wipe system data and reflash .43 which is my current rom but still got signature verification error. any suggestion to fix this? Thx

On Notepad++: (not sure about notepad, but you must get rid of ro.build.fingerprint lines and the abort command after)
Delete/Remove lines 7 through 9. If left alone or not deleted fully it will not accept the update because its looking at the recovery image.
It expects 5.0 stock recovery but it sees 6.0 twrp. (since it was built off the source of twrp 3.0.0 which is mainly compatable with 6.0+)
Thats about it.

Thats odd.
You should probably Re-download or transfer the ww file again. Could just be a bad transfer of data.
Make sure you have twrp 3.0.0 and that system protection off. (it pops up on the first screen, but you can find it under twrp settings)

If it doesn't say anything about identifying the device model or checking system, then something is wrong.
Might be a bad edit or it might have gotten corrupted while transferring back into the zip.
I stick with N++ for the edits, sometimes windows file transfer can be a pain by itself while trying to replace the update script, 7zip might help.

You could probably flash recovery through fastboot, only if your bootloader is unlocked. If not it wont allow the flash. it would say FAILED cant flash unsigned image, but theres a chance that it might have been flashed, just check to see if changes have applied.
Assuming that you have went to the fastboot portion of your phone you can check its status.
if its not unlocked, then you have to find another way to root to flash your twrp recovery back on your phone.
Did this, but kept getting errors due to (probably) my use of xposed. Managed to soft brick my phone, and recovered it using http://forum.xda-developers.com/padfone-x/help/guide-restoring-stock-rom-recovery-t3179818
After that, had to edit updater-script to remove all checks.
What tripped me up was just how long the update reboot took. Almost half an hour. I was going to give up but decided to leave it while taking a short nap.
heres the updater script for anyone having issues
Please can someone help me?
I'm trying so hard to get this to work but I'm barely getting anywhere. What I've done (thanks to ninekaw9's guide):
- unlock bootloader
- wiped everything (yet there is still stuff in the file explorer, like the su install folder)
- using fastboot boot recovery:
-- use TWRP 2.8.7.0 to transfer files from sdcard to emmc
-- with TWRP 2.7.1.1:
--- installed WW 99.99.99.0 for KK (works)
--- installed WW 12.2.2.27 for LP & stock recovery (works)
--- installed WW 12.2.2.43 for latest LP (works)
- removed every abort line from updater script to get it to stop complaining about fingerprint/unexpected system contents
- installed modified FOTA WW 13.6.5.30 for MM (no OS change)
So after all that, I'm where I started but with no apps.
Before I found out 2.8.7.0 couldn't flash stock ROMs I flashed 12.2.2.43 after a full wipe and ended up with no System UI...
Outcomes from using different recovery to flash MM update:
2.7.1.1 with unmodified: apparently my phone is TW not WW (incorrect)
2.8.7.0 with unmodified: some weird fingerprint with omni-T00N and 5.1.1, even after wipe and stock 12.2.2.43 flash. Couldn't edit or replace the default.prop file, it would just get overwritten each time
stock with unmodified: couldn't even mount my SD card, so tried ADB sideload, got the unexpected system contents message
stock with modified (no sha1): would no longer allow me to ADB sideload (0.00x message)
TWRP (either) with modified (no prop): unexpected system contents
TWRP (either) with modified (no prop/sha1): seems to work, but upon boot to system, nothing appears to have changed.
I desperately want MM so I have a smaller system partition, then I can stop pushing updates to system to save space, and therefore won't need root so I can play Pokemon GO and use Sky Q.
That or I'm going to try Magisk... Has anyone used this on a Padfone?
If anyone can guide me through which files/folders I can delete from my phone to save space, that would be great. I know most folders are mounting points, but there's a lot of .sh files and other folders that I'm not familiar with.
I've asked in another thread where I can get TWRP 3.x for Padfone S, but nobody has replied!

Hi guys
The official OTA update (B380) with Andoid 6 and Emui 4.0.1 arrived on my PLK-AL10 around a week ago and I was very disappointed when I saw the "privacy protection" feature is not there anymore. This feature allowed me to create "visitor" account and the visitor could not see all the apps and albums.
Now I installed B395 hoping the feature included but it is still not.
I would like to revert to the previous system (as I remember it was B320) or any working version with Android 5 and EMUI 3.1.
I tried to install all the rollback files I found on the net but all stopped after a few percentages with the error message "software install failed".
Pls help me, what can I do?
You can root your device and add a couple of lines in /system/build.prop to get back the multiuser mode.

Hi again,
Finally I managed to edit my build.prop and got "users" option. The problem is that is is not the same function as "Privacy protection" was in android 5. Privacy protection left the icon layout untouched, it was just possible to hide albums and applications.
Here when I create a guest and switch to it, it shows a completely empty system without any installed apps, pictures, etc..
Therefore I still want to go back to Android 5. How is it possible? I have TWRP installed. My current rom is B395 and phone is PLK-AL10.
To add to previous post, please unroot, flash stock boot.img and recovery.img BEFORE attempting to flash any ROM, including transitional package.

I don't think he was rooted, as the official update was missing a feature and he just wanted to get back to Lollipop.

You have to first flash the transition package to go back to Lollipop. For transition package to work you have to first flash STOCK recovery.img.
To do that execute the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img[/b]
Here [b]recovery.img[/b] is the name of your recovery file, and execute this command from the folder where you have saved the STOCK recovery.img. If you don't have STOCK recovery then you can extract it form the [b]UPDATE.APP[/b] using [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454"]Huawei Update Extractor tool[/URL].[/QUOTE]
First I wanted to do so, but I could not find any transition package that worked with B380 stock rom (now I have 395). All I tried stopped with "software install failed" :(

Ok, I haven't heard about this yet but I'll try.
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.
I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 with a rollback file.
Here what I did:

Follow my guide at your own risk.

This will be basically the copy of this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/downgrade-p10-plus-oreo-to-nougat-t3724382
But it seems to me that I am not the only one who didn't find it first, so I post it here
I am not responsible if you brick your device, or just damage it!
And all credit goes to @mankindtw and @NoMercyWWE
Always make a backup of your important data, and if you rollback, you need to make a factory reset!
I only tested it with L09, but should work with L29 as well
First of all, you need a P10
2. It only works with oreo firmwares
3. Download the three zip files that are required for update, these are:
update.zip
update_data_public.zip
update_all_hw.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3/b. You can download them with Firmware Finder, or just search on xda. If you want to make a rollback to Nougat, you need rollback firmwares!
3/c. update_data_public and update_all_hw comes with a slightly different name, but rename both files to these names, otherwise the update will fail!
4. Download HWOTA8 from this topic
5. Put the three update files in HWOTA8 dir
5/b. If you want to rollback, but your files in the repack folder, and run repack.bat
6. Create a new folder on your EXTERNAL sd, named HWOTA8
7. Put your three files in it, plus copy MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img, and hwota8_update.zip
8. Now install P10 Plus twrp_oreo.img, if you havent't yet:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_oreo.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
credit to @OldDroid
9. Reboot into recovery, install hwota8_update.zip it replaces your recovery with the Mate 9 one, reboots and updates
10. Done! If you downgraded, or just encounter any problems, go back in recovery, and make a factory reset!
Can I do this without an sdcard?

I think it is possible, but you need to rewrite hwota8_update.zip, since the links there are pointing to the external sd. But I dont know what you need to write there instead
Not sure if I did this right but now my phone shows---> Build number System 8.0.0.046(02ZP)
I had showing before---> Build number System 8.0.0.046(01BN)
I don't seem to have it right still
I also have somethong like System 8.0.0.046(02BQ) but .321(C10) installed. And there were some visible updates from the C900log Oreo, eg auto shazam disappeared from the status bar.
It's frustrating lol...my old Nexus 5 was so easy compared to this device...I know I updated with something cuz I also see January 1st security patch and other little differences...everything seems to work ok but still got no themes though...how do we get it right?

Here he says that you need to install su, and rename three directories, but for me themes are working even without this. As soon as I try it, these steps will be added to the tutorial though.
EDIT: I followed the steps and renamed the directories, but there was no change anywhere.
Yes just tried it myself too and no change...still no themes...had an extra folder in there on mine named "optus"...not sure but the twrp and rooting work awesome but wasn't able to make a nandroid backup to my external storage...it failed
Good day,
with what firmware (please complete naimeninie) you rolled back and what was installed by this method?

Without a SD card it is impossible, with firmware via TWRP, internal memory can be reset and then the firmware will not go to the end. Therefore, the programs are located on the SD.

If this question is for me, I did not test the rollback (I am fine with Oreo), but I would use C432B180. You can check the description of an update in FF to see if it's a rollback one.

Hey, there are many ways of doing it i would recommend https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3691013
[GUIDE] Huawei P10 Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Nougat&Oreo it works great. Go for the hwota rebrand way, it work like charm for me.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Perfect! I applied the update as described in the OP, then did a factory reset and relocked the bootloader (which did another factory reset). Now, at least I can't tell anymore that the phone has been unlocked and rooted...
Hello, I have a problem in the rocovery that I flash wota8_update.zip I have E: unknown command [errno]

Which TWRP are you using?
Hey everyone so I have a BLA-A09 c567 (US) I got this phone used and it came with the bootloader unlocked. I managed to get the code and relock the bootloader at a later time. After going through the settings I noticed that the system update feature is still gone? I thought after relocking the bootloader and factory resetting it would come back. Is there something I am missing or will I not be able to receive OTA updates now? Please give me some guidance and thank you!
What's the status of the phone when you got it aside from Unlocked BL? Is it rooted?
You should never loose system update regardless of the BL status. I suspect the previous owner debloated it.

They didn't flash the hw/public zip when updating.
Or possibly just removed it, for some reason...
So is there something I can do to return the system update feature? Or should I enjoy the blessing of a free debloat? My only issue is how will I get OTA updates. Can I just use the hisuite app the update instead?
Currently my Bootloader is relocked and unrooted looks like they messed around with the device then just relocked it and unrooted. When I purchased the device it was "like new" used for a week only.
I am on the C567 .119 patch
A flashable zip with instructions or apk would be amazing please help, but if it isn't an issue and I can just use hisuite to update I won't lose sleep over it.
Also is there anything important in the bloat zip besides system update?
I had the same issue when I flashed my phone with 119. I extracted the update ap apk from the hw zip file of 119, attempted an install, but it will not work. The app is in the play store but won't install on the phone. I will try to pm you the apk

It won't install by using the package manager.
You can however download the hw zip file and flash it through TWRP, this requires unlocked bootloader and TWRP.
It will show a bunch of errors when installing through TWRP but the hw_init folder is copied successfully to /data/hw_init/

For some reason, in TWRP, I cannot see the contents of my sdcard. I wiped the data partition when I flashed the 119 zip files using huru, so I don't know why I cant see that directory.

Try going to Mount and unmount then mount Data again.
Or just mount if it's not mounted
(If you are encrypted and not using Pretoriano80's TWRP you won't be able to anyway as it would require either TWRP with decryption support or decrypting by Format Data then edit fstab and remove encryption. Dont Format Data now as it will wipe your /data)

thanks ante
I unmounted and mounted and I now see a bunch of folders whose name starts with a (.). I am using twrp version 3.2.1.0, which is the same version as BLANC, I believe, which is for unencrypted data.

If it's just a bunch of random lettera/numbers it means your are encrypted. You could switch to https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904
Just flash it and reboot recovery. You will get a Pin/password input prompt, input your pin/pw and it will decrypt.
You can use adb to push the image to /data:
adb push twrp.img /data/
Then select Install and tap the dots to go up a level, go into /data, tap the Install Image button, scroll down and select twrp.img.
Or flash using fastboot as thats easier xD

Thanks again. I did not know that we can flash twrp using twrp itself. Weird.
What pin/password is to be used?

The one you use on lockscreen
When it's done, transfer zip to sdcard and flash.
As I said, it will error and say it failed but it does copy hw_init.

Try entering it as numbers. Pattern would look like this in number mode:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
I guess you could just remove pattern temporarily if your only goal is to flash hw

I flashed the twrp blanc, and as able to see my downloads. Cool. I then flashed the update_all_hw.zip file and it errored out at the end of the script with a write data error update_huawei_pkg from the zip file.
E:unknown command
Error installing file
Nothing else gave an error
EDIT - disregard..I rebooted and I see that I have the system update app now AND, it found the long-seeked 119 patch, which I installed. Cool. After the patch was applied, the phone rebooted itself into recovery, I saw it run some script, and then it rebooted into system. Weird. The phone, however, still shows the version as 119, and not 119 patch 01 or something.
RE-EDIT - redisregard. THe version shows as 119 patch AND the themes got installed from the zip. Ok, so it looks like I now have a complete version 119 US variant of the stubborn and cumbersome Mate 10 Pro. Though I read that an update came out yesterday with the August security patches.

Yeah, flashing hw/public zips will give errors. This is because its supposed to be installed using Huaweis update binary. So twrp can't process the commads.
