So far throughout xda, I have just got links to stock ROM for other variants like LX1(mostly), which dont support the VoLTE feature. However I fail to find any link for complete stock ROM, both fastboot and recovery, for the ANE-AL00 C675 variant. I am well versed with unbricking Xiaomi, Sony and old samsung devices both from recovery and fastboot, but have no experience with Huawei Devices, and the method for huawei devices seem a bit different.
For e.g. if i want to just boot to recovery(temporarily) and not permanently, I used the command "fastboot boot (recovery_file_name).img" , but I am unable to do so with huawei devices. Seems, commands are slightly different. I am just curious to know a full guide of flashing stock ROM for ANE-AL00 C675 variant both from fastboot and recovery method.
Links for the C675 ROMS would be very much appreciated. Kindly help!!

You can use Firmware Finder app from google play and browsing online with this link to find all firmware available from Huawei
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=&firmware_page=0
Boot temporary in the recovery I think it is not possible or I don't know the right commands.
Flash a complete firmware via fastboot mode should be possible but as far as I know only a pay service can handle that, like DC Phoenix.
Flash the most important partition via fastboot mode is possible, like recovery_ramdisk, ramdisk, cust, system, etc.
Flash Full ROM:
- System update (stock recovery)
- Firmware Finder (stock recovery)
- HuRUpdater (TWRP)
- HwOTA8 for Huawei P20 Lite (Recovery_NoCheck)

Thank you for the help, however I went through the above link (the russian link) earlier too, but could not find any link for C675 variant of P20 Lite handset. Nor it was available in the android app.
Secondly, will a nandroid backup via twrp help me in unbricking my device, in case I flash a wrong firmware or if i try some custom ROMs like Ressurection Remix and later want to switch back to my official ROM with which my device was shipped with? If yes, what partitions should I select for backing up as I have never done with a Huawei device?
(Prior to my experience with Huawei, I took a nandroid backup once in my life with an old Xperia C602, but the restoration bricked my device, but got my device back to life by flashing a full fastboot ROM) So I just wanted to be sure that a nandroid restoration not to cause any soft-bricking of my device.

I didn't saw any firmware for your region so far, the idea is that you can look anytime...
- Yes, nandroid can help you but depends the way how you brick the device. In case that you can reach TWRP should be enough.
- To have more success to unbrick your device you should have always the booloader unlocked and FRP unlock.
- Restore to stock should be also possible in case you are in the customizes ROMs.
- Lock bootloader I think is not possible yet, only relock. Don't try do it with unofficial firmware installed.
- Cust, kernel, odm, product, ramdisk, system, vendor and version are the most important partitions to recovery from the customized rom. You don't need to know this by heart, just check the flashable zip from customized rom which partition was installed previously or better just install the official Huawei firmware.
- Is very easy soft-brick Huawei devices, so, do only things already tested by other users.
If you can wait to have firmware released for your device is more safety because you have more options for unbrick it.

I think you should flash the stock firmware
ok, but how? I currently have twrp not a stock recovery. from what I read to reflash stock rom, should have stock recovery because at trwp can not be done. I understand that as a stock firmware You understand the stock rom? or maybe something else?
@shaq8 you posted in the wrong forum buddy.
But to answer your question I found a Lollipop stock package for your device.
Thanks for the link DigiGoon
but how to flash new firmware? All descriptions refer to the dload method, which I can not use because I do not have stock recovery. Is there any method to reflash new firmware having trwp instaled?
and in fact my mistake. the topic was to be started in the P7 section. If an admin will go on this thread , please transferred to the Huawei P7 section

No worries, I'll help you regardless of in which section your thread resides.
So, to flash the UPDATE.APP, follow these steps:
First download the package from the link I provided.
Extract it, and find UPDATE.APP
Now you have to extract the stock recovery from UPDATE.APP using Huawei UPDATE Extractor tool.
After pulling recovery.img you have to flash it to your device via bootloader.
Boot into bootloader mode and flash the recovery by firing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you have Stock recovery installed.
I hope you are on Lollipop only, if your device was rooted, you have to first flash .img files manually and then force update it via UPDATE.APP.
If your device is not rooted then put the UPDATE.APP in dload folder in your External SDCARD, and press the three button combo after switching off your device, the update process will start then.
I hope this clears something.
the phone has root.
Custom recovery already loaded and working.
I understand that now I have a reflash of all files from update.app? the sequence of flashing files has any meaning?
I ask because I would not want to mess up more in the phone

As a start, this phone is great and I feel that it doesn’t need to be unlocked and rooted for a stable and long lasting daily use. However, unlock and root is almost a religion if you use Android phones
As a piece of info, big thanks to @raimondomartire, there is a thread for unlock, flash TWRP and root in the Mate 9 forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976, which is however according to my experience not totally applicable for the M9Pro anymore. There are also several other threads on the Mate 9 forum. Many things can be shared between both phones, but not always. Be careful about what you are doing!
-----
General info and attentions:
- My phone is M9Pro LON-AL00 (All net version from Chinese Mainland); LON-L29 (International version) should also work.
- This thread applies for build LON-AL00C00B213. Can be also applicable for similar builds, but I couldn’t test. Please report.
- None of the current builds of TWRP (up to 3.1.0) can decrypt data partition by default, which means you could only format the data partition in TWRP in order to access it in recovery (for backup to and install from internal storage etc.). But after formatting, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition (/data/hw_init), otherwise several functions of Huawei ROM won’t work. Refer to this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71302827&postcount=627) or this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72497328&postcount=204). Thanks to @gm007 and @ante0
- There are several root methods which handles encrypted or decrypted data partition. I didn’t format the data partition, i.e. data is still encrypted.

Unlock bootloader:
There is enough info in the internet about unlocking M9Pro’s bootloader. Just a few points to mention:
- Generally, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976). But unlike he describes in his thread, there is no OEM Unlock options in the developer options anymore. Just use ADB to unlock.
- FRP unlock is not required!
- Huawei enables now a 14-day limitation, where you can officially get the bootloader unlock code 14 days after you first activate your Huawei ID on your phone and have logged in using your Huawei ID 14 CONSECUTIVE days.
- To go around this limitation, you can use dc-unlocker to get the bootloader code immediately. Google yourself
-----
Flash TWRP:
- Still, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976).
- The image from this thread is 3.0.3, which has some bugs built in, especially when flashing SuperSU.
- You could use TWRP 3.1.0-1 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617, but this one seems to have problem to be recognized as ADB device in recovery.
- There is a version 3.0.2 for Mate 9, which seems to have problem mounting USB-OTG.
- If your data partition is encrypted, you can only use ADB sideload or USB-OTG to install anything.
- If you want to do data wipe in TWRP, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition. See above general info and attentions.

Root:
Firstly, thanks to @ante0 for explaining different flags in the root methods: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72504501&postcount=210. Some more discussions between us are also around this post.
I also tried several other root tools on the market (mobilego, vroot, YoRoot, OneClickRoot, iRoot etc.), NONE of them works.
As mentioned, there are different root methods around for unlocking M9Pro, depending on if you want to format your data partition. For me, I didn’t format, and SuperSU works for me. And the mate_9_pro_root.zip from @raimondomartire thread didn’t work for me.
I followed the steps below:
1. Get TWRP 3.1.0-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617)
2. Disable fingerprint ID (I think it’s probably optional, but have read somewhere that fingerprint stops working after flashing root).
3. Flash stock boot image for B213D (in download section). I think it’s optional too, but if you have tried other methods before, you can do this step to make sure your boot is stock and clean
4. Flash TWRP 3.1.0-1
5. Flash SuperSU-v2.79-MATE9-init.d_support_no_decrypt-signed.zip (in download section) via USB-OTG (in TWRP the device is not recognized as an ADB device, hence no “ADB sideload”). Thanks to @ante0 for building this zip!
6. Reboot – phone will reboot itself twice and SuperSU.apk will be installed automatically
7. You could flash back to 3.0.3, if you want the ADB sideload function.

Enjoy your Mate!
Just some clarification: (eventhough you wrote it's for AL00C00B213, which I missed xD)
Flashing stock boot is only needed if you're already rooted.
Boot image B213D is only for AL00C00. If you have a different model/build, use the boot image for that specific build:
Download your stock firmware from hwmt.ru and Huawei Update Extractor. Extract update.app from your firmware zip.
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor. Rightclick on BOOT and click on Extract selected.
Flash the extracted boot.img using fastboot in download mode (fastboot flash boot boot.img).
OEM Unlocking is required to be enabled. It's just not there in the chinese version (AL00). So check if it's there first and enable if it is.
Hi guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but how do I get rid of that annoying "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted....etc " msg?
I have a mate 9 pro and I want to flash twrp and to root it. I did it for some one plus, xiaomi, samsung so I have some experience. reading xda posts about the case of M9pro I understood that is not a simple path and I dont want to hard brick the phone. what precautions should I take?

hi guys. You may or may not find this interesting. I certainly did. I'll post this in the mate 9 pro forum as well but i just thought i could get some ideas from as many of guys as possible seeying that theres a lot more posts here for mate 9 in general.
I have chinese version mate 9 pro that has been rebranded from AL00 to LON Spcseas and rooted. Build number b228. Anyway i recently saw in FF the new b229 so i downloaded all three files which had longer file names than usuall by the way. In twrp, the only file that was visable was the update.zip. So i renamed the hw and public zip files to what they would usually be named. Wiped data, and flashed all three files. Then reflashed supersu.
This is the interesting bit ( i think ). My imei numbers have changed, before flashing, the first imei number ended in 7 - now it ends with 4, the second imei number ended in 9 and now it ends with 7. Also, i now have a MEID number visable which was not there before and a section called android security patch level. Oddly enough im not getting any issues out of play store, im on play store right now and not a single problem regarding authentication. The build number is the same as well. As far as functionality goes, everything seems to be tip top, in fact everything seems to be working better, even unofficial exposed is working well. Only one thing isn't working properly. In phone manager there was a feature in the battery section that darkens the interface for everything to save power and prolong battery. That doesn't seem to be working anymore. In App - Permissions, the permissions is greyed out and it says no permissions requested.. Any thoughts or explenations guys??
Trying to flash another orginal stock rom
I bought a Mate 9 Pro, China Version (LON-AL00C00) want to install Mate 9 Pro, Asia Version (LON-L29C636) software on it. All explanations about Mate 9 Pro is for models which have SD Card. My Mate 9 Pro with dual sims and not containing a SD Card enrty.
I succesfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP but couldn't flash LON-L29C636 stock software. Because TWRP don't see update.zip file. Not only update.zip, any files I downloaded or copied before. When I put a OGT TWRP suddenly exits and phone restarts.:crying:
As you see I can't flash a zip file and ofcourse superuser zip file to root as well. I'm stuck in this triangle. Please give me a hand guys.
I can't root my phone. Because I can't view and locate any file of my phone. When I plug a ogt cable twrp exits and phone restarts. 6GB-128GB Dual Sim version

3.Flash stock boot image for B213D (in download section). I think it’s optional too, but if you have tried other methods before, you can do this step to make sure your boot is stock and clean
4.Flash TWRP 3.1.0-1
5.Flash SuperSU-v2.79-MATE9-init.d_support_no_decrypt-signed.zip (in download section) via USB-OTG (in TWRP the device is not recognized as an ADB device, hence no “ADB sideload”). Thanks to @ante0 for building this zip!
6.Reboot – phone will reboot itself twice and SuperSU.apk will be installed automatically
7.You could flash back to 3.0.3, if you want the ADB sideload function.

I unlocked bootloader but couldn't root. Anyway I wanted to rebrand my phone to Asia version. Now I'm done but not successful because there is no Google,frp locked, and version is test one.
I can't install twrp because frp lock don't allow it. Also twrp can't read 128 GB internal memory, so I needed to install from pc.
Is there anyway to resolve and install stock Oreo version to my Mate 9 Pro or do you suggest me to resolve it via paid services?

I've installed Oreo to Mate 9 Pro. If you have 128GB edition don't try to install anything from internal storage. That's it.

Rebranding is easy with HWOTA system if you will keep your phone EMUI 5.0 Nougat. And there is no risk if you make everything clearly.

Yes you can always flash stock ROM as factory out, if you are not in Oreo.
And you can root it. It's your own protection to have a backup. I suggest you have, anyway it's up to you. You can loose all your data after root.
Hi, yersterday I used TWRP trying to install a newer firmware and I wiped system partition and now it does not boot because it doesn't have an OS. I was on EMUI 8 (636) trying to update the firmware.
Is there any way to flash a firmware via TWRP or Fastboot on EMUI 8 (i know partition names change on Oreo).
Thanks!
Hi.
The last couple days, I unlocked my bootloader to install the phh-treble rom and experiment with this phone but the *unlocked bootloader* message every time that I power up my phone, is very annoying.
So I ask if anyone knows which firmware to install to my phone so I can lock the bl and receive otas as normal
Thanks

It's just a guess, but i think that you should flash an original "system. img" with fastboot and then reset you device.
You can use Huawei Unpacker to get your system.img from a FullOTA firmware (you can download it with Firmware Finder).

When you go to recovery now, is it Huawei recovery or some aosp recovery?
If Huawei you should be able to use that same guide to go back to stock. You just need to download the Firmware your phone came with (Ex. L29 C432), then update using the guide. Or you could rebrand and install fw.

It is the Huawei recovery but the weird thing is that it flashes another recovery and kernel before at the fastboot mode.
Anyhow, I just wonder, if I go back to the 127 (following the method above) which is verified thru IMEI, will I be able to get OTAs?
Or
Which is the correct method of restoring the full stock rom in order to have OTAs and lock the BL

Yes, you will get OTA.
If you install a full firmware everything will be replaced (though you can keep bootloader unlocked, but you're asked when you run repack so select yes ("Lock bootloader?").
The "correct" ways would be: HWOTA8, Dload (if available for your firmware), FunkyHuawei (paid).

It shouldn't. And it works again with root. Apparently something broke in SEPolicy, but mankindtw fixed it in his pre-rooted ramdisk. Though, we can install Magisk "normally" now (as a package through recovery) so it shouldn't be a problem anyway SuperSU should install in a similar way too, if one would take the time to make it. I prefer Magisk though
Hello,
I found that it is possibility to Install new system on a phone. I did research about this but I don't really know how I don't understand everything.
When I was searching for my phone model there were some inaccuracies.
For example: I couldn't find the proper version. I have found "firmwares" that differs by one letter and I don't know I can download it or better no :/
My Phone Specifications are:
HUAWEI Y7 Prime 2018
Model: LDN-L21
LDN-L21 8.0.0.147(C432)
EMUI Version: 8.0.0
Android System Version: 8.0.0
Custom Version: CUSTC432D1
I found a site where I can download Firmwares.
My question is: Can I download for example this version and install it?
LDN-L21 London-L21A 8.0.0.150(C432CUSTC432D1)
or I must find version that exactly match my phone specifications? And what the word "London" means here?
Could somebody tell me step by step what should I do to Install new system on my phone?
Hello.
There are 1 letter difference in model - L21A and L21B. I guess there are no really HW or SW differences, but I stayed at L21B stock rom.
London is commercial codename for that type/serie of phone. LDN-L01 to L29 are similar Huawei and Honor phones with various names (Y7 2018/ Nova 2 lite / Honor 7A/7C etc). Other line/serie has other city name.
Latest stock rom for LDN-L21B is 8.0.0.151, for now.
If your phone is not rooted, still bootloader locked, with stock recovery: use System update from Settings or boot to eRecovery, connect to WiFi and let phone download latest rom and install it automatically.

I guess that you can use some of recovery modes: stock recovery, TWRP recovery or fastboot flash. Inside every ZIP is UPDATE.app. Every *.app can be unpacked with Huawei_Update_Extractor_v0.9.9.5. Eccential partitions for flash are ramdisk, kernel, product, system, vendor, version, cust. Extracted IMGs are still packed as SPARE img, so you have to unpack them with SIMG2IMG (simg2img system.img sys.img).
Now images can be flashed with custom *TWRP* recovery or fastboot (fastboot flash system system.img).

HI thank you for your reply,can u give me ldn-l21b 8.0.0.151 because I have c432
Custom ROMs are one of the best things about Android. One of the best things about the openness of the Android platform is that if you're unhappy with the stock OS, you can install one of many modified versions of Android (called ROMs) on your device. A new ROM can bring you the latest version of Android before your manufacturer does, or it can replace your manufacturer-modded version of Android with a clean, stock version. But with the introduction of the dynamic partition flashing Custom ROMs are a bit tricky. In this post, I will run you through the steps of flashing Custom ROMs on your Poco X3.
Pre-requisites:
Unlocked Bootloader
Custom Recovery
Note:- Always create a backup of your important files before flashing.
Steps:-
From MIUI to Custom ROM
Encrypted
Copy the Custom ROMs zip to your sdcard or your OTG flash drive.
Boot to the recovery.
Flash the required firmware mentioned for the ROM.
Reboot your recovery.
Flash the Custom ROM.
And then format data [**This will wipe your internal storage**]
Reboot (Flash magisk if you want root after the first boot)
Decrypted
Flash this decrypted vendor
Flash the custom rom
Format data and reboot
From Custom ROMs to Another Custom ROM
Encrypted
**Backup your internal storage, incase something gets wrong**
Remove your lockscreen password
Boot to the recovery
Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache
Flash Custom ROM
Reboot
** If the device bootloops Format Data **
Decrypted
*If your device is encrypted*
Flash the decrypted vendor
Flash the custom rom
Format data and reboot
*If your device is already decrypted*
Wipe data and cache
Flash rom
Reboot
Notes:-
For encrypted people
Always create a backup of your internal storage.
Format data while upgrading from one android version to another.
Downgrading firmware may also require data format
Moving from Gapps build to non-gapps build or vice versa also requires fata format
For decrypted people
You don't need to flash the decrypted vendor everytime unless you come from miui
The vendor will not work on miui

You saved me. I had properly unlocked bootloader, flashed OrangeFox but then I did the wipes and also mistakely formated data, so I couldn't send files from PC to phone to flash the custom rom.
Guess I could've just used the usb otg at this point, but I reflashed MIUI with a script, and reflashed OrangeFox and now I'm good to go.
I thought current custom recoveries don't check for rollback protection (yet)?
It's probably safe to be flashing stock firmwares via custom recovery if you are sure you know what you're doing. But this guide seem to appeal to new comers. Should we suggest they stick to using Mi Flash tool for flashing stock firmwares as it has rollback protection checks?
Or am I just out of the loop and this is no longer the case with custom recoveries for surya/karna?
Thanks for the guide btw. Greatly appreciated.
I miss manually flashing each partition files via fastboot like when I was on my Nexus devices and my Essential PH-1. I have not seen a guide that recommends or even teaches us to flash partitions manually.

Yes it is safe to flash stock fw via custom recovery. ARB hasn't been implemented on surya yet.
Well manual flashing each partition using fastboot on surya is much more complicated. Dynamic partition work differently. In short one have to boot to fastboot than boot to fastbootd than you can flash rom
Are you sure it's not enabled? After running fastboot getvar anti, I get anti: 2 and I just bought the phone without doing any upgrades. Unless this alone doesn't mean that ARB is enabled?

No only if you get "anti:4" itmeans ARB is enabled, otherwise feel free to downgrade via fastboot.

Seems you're wrong. This XDA article states other way:
"
How to find current rollback index
Reboot to fastboot mode
Enter the following command: fastboot getvar anti
If the output is blank, then anti-rollback has not yet been enabled. If you get a number in the output, then that’s your current rollback index."

Use any fastboot stock ROM and MiFlash tool to restore your phone...or flash any custom recovery and use it to flash any recovery stock ROM to restore your phone.
I have 6 days to wait for unlocking the device. I can't wait to get rid of the Mi UI mess and bloat. I haven't had to do a complicated (for me) phone flash process like this since a Motorola phone in 2014. I have a a few questions:
1- Do I need to add/install adb drivers to my WIN10 PC? I came across win adb drivers for the POCO in my search for Windows PC drivers. Which version of adb is needed for Win10? I currently have abd my laptop, but I can't determine the version.
2- Installing the recovery - I see the steps some have posted with TWRP versions, but I'm not really clear on this. Do I go to the folder with TWRP in it and then use a command prompt from there? TWRP or Orange Fox and what version? The posts are confusing.
3- I'd like to have the easiest rom flash for my first go at this phone. I would appreciate a recommendation for which rom might be the best one to start with. I will be want gapps as part of the process, but could flash afterwards if its better that way. Is Arrow OS or Havoc a good choice?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks

Flashing ROM and Format data is the usual way....
I now. But the chronologie was another. First Format data, then flash Rom.
Usually in all my old device while flashing roms I have to wipe system data cache then I just flashed the rom, it's my first Xiaomi device I am confused as hell , should i never have to wipe system partition ? , Is flashing firmware necessary everytime ? Are there any risks associated with decrypted vendor ?please guide me I am not noob but these things are completely new to me
Device storage partition schemes have changed and are now dynamic, so previous procedures don't apply anymore. Closely follow your ROM developer instructions in order to avoid bricking your device.
