Hello community.
I installed root via magisk. Before that I have installed TWRP. Yesterday I got push info about update from Huawei. I just downloaded. Update restarted phone into TWRP started installing and after a moment got crash.
Can anyone tell me how to properly install new update from Huawei?

Flash back stock recovery_ramdisk. You can get your current firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
Download update.zip, extract update.app, download and open Huawei Update Extractor. Open Update Extractor, go to settings and uncheck Header Check. Open Update.app and extract recovery_ramdisk, flash using fastboot
Thanks for hint. However I got error in fastbooot - "partition lenght get error". Any help?

Hello,
I have received last week a notification about the new update (from 31th May). Once the file was downloaded, my device has rebooted and arrived in the TWRP recovery. Nothing happened. I checked where the zip file was and I tried to install with TWRP but without success. TWRP said me that META-INFO is missing in the zip file. Is there a way to update with TWRP or have I to wait a new complete ROM with this update?
Thanks
Worked for me,
Which version of TWRP do you have?
It is the 3.0.2.1.
The exact message is "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Not working take a look at TWRP site I also tried with 3.0.2.1 and after error update is automatically erased.

Thank you Mr. Claude... effectively, with this FAQ on the TWRP site I understand now why it is impossible to apply an OTA update with TWRP.
Have a nice day
You're Welcome. Also on my LeTv x600 worked with TWRP but is not identical update system like P9000.

For me OTA update worked just fine on the P9000 with TWRP 3.0.2-1
only had to flash SuperSU again after the update.
Hello sundawn,
Can you just explain how you made your update? Have you a link to download the update.zip with the META-INF missing ?
Thanks.

Are you sure there was OTA update (with stock ROMs and from Update menu) not regular ROM download .zip made for TWRP and update through TWRP?(in this case you need an TWRP update zip).
There is 4 methods of update of ROMs:
1. OTA (On The Air) in this case updates is downloaded automatically or no (depending you're settings) direct on phone.
2. Download update.zip and flashing from stock recovery.
3. Download ROM.... update.zip for TWRP and flashed from TWRP.
4. Full new update ROM.zip and flashing with SpFlashTools.
Edit: Today successfully managed to update latest OTA 31.05 (but only this because seems there isn't a full update) via TWRP 3.0.2.1.

Same here.
After getting the update notification, I just taped apply and TWRP actually started the update.
Could be you have to remove the sd card, move your SIM from tray 2 to tray 1, and then try updating with the OTA again. That worked for me, after getting errors trying to update with the sd card inserted.
Hi, please, I installed some OTA update and forgot that I have TWRP. And now phone will always boot TWRP. Does somebody know where update is downloaded so I can install it?
Thank you
why make something so difficult? i would just give up on otas if i were you, ive never received any of them, just update manually.. download the file, grab a cup of coffee, and install it
I have the same issue, would like to know how what to flash to recover from this, TWRP for me is working well, but I can not boot to anything else.

Full factory flash with SP Flash Tools was the only way I was able to recover, at least I became very practised at it.
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.

Hi team. Forgivevme if this has been posted in the wrong place
Need assistance. Have a Huawei p8 lite 2017. rooted it 8 months ago, with custom recovery.
Recently installed apps2d and may i stuffed some link/mount. Since then, camera wont run, gallery wont open, google apps freeze. Tried factory reset and flashing stock but get this error. Error installing zip package. Also md5 not found.
Firmware is PRA-LX2C185B160. Should i unroot and flash with stock recovery or could somebody provide me with working firmware if this is the problem
Update: tried to reflash stock boot img to do update.app. phone know gets stuck in Emui erecovery.
Fastboot acknowledges device but commands fail. Download mode shows Bootloader unlocked, Frp locked.
Any advise on how to unbrick. I have tried the force flash update.app via micro sd, no luck. Tried using huawei extractor to extract update.app. and flash fastboot boot, recovery img etc. No luck.
Please assist.
Hi . I really need assistance. The update.app doesnt have cust.img file. I think this is where the problem lies. I have downloaded 10 times. Still no cust.img
Mods. Please delete or close.
I could really use some help here. I'm using a Mate 10 regular with the latest version of Pretoriano80's TWRP installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904). I am currently on ALP-L29 8.0.0.136 and trying to install the 8.0.0.138 update. But when I tap download and install, the phone reboots to the TWRP terminal but the update fails with:
check_write_data_to_partition,write data error
update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed.
E:unknown command [errno]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 9
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/HwOUC/151698/update.zip
The phone is rooted with Magisk but I've tried unrooting and even factory resetting the device but still the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TWRP can't install update.zip by default.
But you can use Firmware Finder, manually download b138 (update.zip, public and hw data zips for L29)
Then download HuRUpdater: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Go to /sdcard/HWFF/151698/ and place HuRUpdater here (optional: place TWRP named recovery.img here too if you want to flash it else you will get stock recovery).
Then flash HuRUpdater.zip in /sdcard/HWFF/151698/ and it will install update.
After this you have to reflash Magisk as ramdisk is now stock.

It worked, thank you so much!
EEa(EU) rom 10.3.3.0 update
Received it too yesterday and all is ok.
Does anyone know how to flash that update using TWRP? I have rooted my Stock ROM with TWRP, and the Update is downloaded OTA and then reboots to recovery, but TWRP obviously is unable to install it: First it doesn't ask for the password to decrypt the data partition and shows the crypted content of the partition, making it impossible to see or select the downloaded update. A reboot into recovery decrypts the data partition and shows the downloaded Update (as a ZIP) in the folder /downloaded_rom. I tried to install that ZIP from TWRP manually, but to no avail - all you get is an error message.
Edit: Forget the question. Seems the phone healed itself. The first OTA download was an update 10.3.1 to 10.3.3 with a size of around 500 MB, and that couldn't be installed. When the System Updater saw this didn't succeed, it downloaded the complete 10.3.3 Package (2,2 GB) OTA, and installed that via TWRP with no problems whatsoever. I lost Magisk, which i needed to reinstall, but other than that, everything's fine.
Edit 2: The complete package obviously also overwrites TWRP, which i had to reinstall, too.

You will need to flash Magisk immediately after the ROM to stop MIUI restoring stock recovery.
