I got a 1.5mb update on my bla-L29 c420 version 150 and tried flashing it with huruupdater also using the old files from the proper update to 150 but it fails... Do I have to flash the stock firmware to update or is there an other way using twrp? There is only a small update.zip in the update folder
Thanks for help :fingers-crossed:
The problem leads to my phone beein stuck in erecovery sometimes as it trys flashing over night....

You need stock recovery.
You can do this in TWRP terminal:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
This will copy eRecoverys ramdisk to recoverys ramdisk, and give you back stock recovery.
Though if you have Magisk you'd have to reinstall it after that patch as it won't boot with DM-Verity disabled.
You can also fix this from terminal:
echo "KEEPVERITY=true" > /data/.magisk
Then reinstall Magisk.
Thank you very much for answering fast and precise

Did you flash stock recovery or still have twrp? Am not sure whether it plays a role or not?
Try to update couple of times, some users reported that trying multiple times makes it work sometimes...

Yep, flashing recovery, boot and system does not have any effect on user apps.
System apps will be restored to their original state but your data and user apps remain the same. Did it multiple times.
Still, keeping a backup is always a good idea.

thnx i will try it later or tomorrow
You'll definitely need the recovery for the firmware your running, so if u got b180 you'll need b180 recovery and then b371 UPDATE.APP
i have it. and it started to flash so it could be system partition. but i dont remeber that i changed something there
oh i got it
1. recovery
2.recovery2
3.boot
4. system
images restored

So, I've been trying to flash CyanogenMod 12.1, since I'm still stuck on EMUI 3.1, because I can't flash OTA updates (I've tried everything, dload method, and yes I have unrooted and used the stock recovery)
Every time I try to flash a ROM via TWRP it turns off for a second and then boots back to TWRP starting screen. Also, when I boot my phone the boot animation's Honor H is red for some reason.
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you have the right boot.img and recovery.img?
Usually that symptoms are due to messed partitions.
Did you flash current img files or did you got them from a different rom version?

Well, actually I once bricked my phone and had to restore through a TWRP backup, that only had the System and Boot partitions and it was the B130 version when I had B140, but it worked. So, do I need to completely flash everything or can I just pick up some files from somewhere?

No, you need to have all the files from the same version.
Flash boot, recovery, cust and system.

You can use B130 as it is also Lollipop. But all the img from the same rom. You can update to B350 manually after, but first you need a stable rom working.
Let us know man if you fixed your phone. So if not, we can give firther recommendations.

I could not find any custom Roms for your device.
I could find an stock Rom for the Mya-l41 trough.
Here is an link: https://mega.nz/#!wKpT1ZaS!CV-2E4sNnUwIurskAdqCDpDawWlZD2UeABtSELk_ffc
That should be an update.app or an flashable zip.
You may get Huawei Update Extractor and extract the system.img and boot.img of the update.app
After that flash system.img and boot.img from fastboot.
Warning. This may soft brick your device.
Good luck.
If i helped press the Thanks button

Does it show an error or anything?
Fastboot flash system system.img
ok, so i found what i thought was a stock rom for my device on some spanish forum and used sp flash tool to install it
problem is, sp flash tool formatted my phone, but encountered an error trying to install the firmware and now my phone wont boot and windows says its not recognised
is there any fix to this? or is my phone bricked?
hey again! i know this post has been a wild ride of me doing stupid stuff and bricking my phone, but i got the firmware back!
only catch is that i'm receiving some nvram error (which i got on my previous phone too. i swear this is the last time im going mediatek), so if anybody has a method that can fix this it'd be highly appreciated
thanks
Hi, Ibxda.
Can you please share with us where you found the stock rom, what went wrong with flashing, and how you managed to get the firmware back?
I have a running system, but I rooted it and cannot apply official upgrades. I'd like to go back, upgrade and root again. I would appreciate the info on your progress.

You should root with Magisk, it's systemless and it should not affect updates. If you want to update you should flash stock recovery. After you updated you are free to flash Twrp again if you want. If you are rooted with SuperSU you should uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk
Hello,
i was on EMUI 9 with my BKL-L09 and decided to give the custom roms a new try.
So i backed up my recovery_ramdisk (it was rooted with magisk before) and then flashed twrp (version 3.2.3-3).
Now i went for Wipe>format data and gave it a try. Result: it was hanging after makefs->(..) done. So i done the whole procedure again but it was still hanging.
Now i can't get back into twrp, because only the twrp bootscreen is showing up. Even after restoring my recovery_ramdisk backup with fastboot i can't get back into erecovery Is there anything i can do?
Thanks.
Ok, i solved this by myself through downloading the full ota update, extracting everything and flashing new kernel, system and recovery from ota update contents.
Can you put the CMD lines to do it?
Thank you anyway. I think i have the same problem.

I don't have this smartphone anymore but i remember the following:
1. Download the Full OTA Zip (e.g. here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei...-update-for-honor-view-10-download-available/
2. Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract the partitions from the content in the zip file. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454)
3. Flash the partitions over the existing ones on your V10 using fastboot "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img , ...) - these contents are inside the full ota package
Greetings
Did it work out for you?
You can also try to flash the original erecovery using fastboot und use the download option inside the Recovery App. This will reset all partitions back to default. But also all data is lost.

Did you just flash the erecovery or also the normal recovery partition und Kernel from the zip? What kind of error do you get?

Yeah i flashed the kernel and the recovery ramdisk. And now it boots into erecovery, but inside the erecovery, the option to download and install the last version of emui doesn´t work, it just shows an error that it can´t get the package info.
thanks for your attention.

Hey guys,
I've tried to update my Nord 2 to the newest software (A.12) but every time I try it, it just reboots after a couple seconds and displays an error message:"Verification error". I've tried rebooting it multiple times, without any success. It is rooted with magisk and the bootloader is open, but I don't have TWRP installed. Could you guys hook me up with a solution?
Regards

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it! I've looked at it, but I haven't found a specific update from a.11 to a.12, I just didn't want to take the risk to update with the indian variant from a.11 to a.13.

No need to download the update file from third parties. If you downloaded it from settings, you can find it in your internal storage at android/data/com.oneplus.ota/files
For the boot file instead, you can find boot files both for indian and Eu in that post

Thank you, I really appreciate your help! I'm going to try it as soon as possible, do I have to flash the vbmeta.img, if I use my own update.zip file? (Sorry, I have literally zero knowledge)

Yup, the order is:
Backup EVERYTHING.
Flash stock boot image for your current version (A.11)
Flash update.zip via recovery
Flash patched vbmeta via fstboot
Re flash TWRP via fastboot
Reflash magisk:
Flash the .zip it via recovery (not reccomended). OR,
Download and flash an already patched boot image for the updated version (A.12). OR,
Extract your stock updated boot image (A.12) with adb shell and dd (or download it), boot into system, patch the image with the magisk app, flash the patched boot image in recovery.
If during one of these steps you get back the stock recovery, just boot into fastboot and reflash twrp. Without magisk installed the rom tends to restore the stock recovery by itself.
Thank you for your help!
Worked like a charm!
