Have the recovery images for the older Android versions seriously not been archived? I can't find anything on the internet. I would like to downgrade to Android 11 and I can only find OTA downloads...

I have corrupted my boot.img and thereby (semi-) bricked my device.
I'm posting this topic to try to get an image of Build 79558, or some information on acquiring such an image so that I can flash it and thereby be able to boot to the OS. Is there any FTP site, download or Dell PC Suite version that might contain such an image for this USA Beta device?
Any help?
I was bored and I tried to adapt an Android 8.1 firmware rom from the same chipset to my device and as I see it System is working just fine but boot is completely wrong since I don't know how in world they adapt the boot img when there's no already existing boot for that android sdk in a device
I have currently TWRP installed and firmware COL-L29 8.1.0.131 (C432).
Since two days now i have a notification for a security update of ~1.5mb but how can I install it?
When I just hit the button "install now" the phone restarts into twrp and can't perform the update.
Any ideas what to do?

You will have to remove twrp.
I made full update of my system with twrp via HuRUpdater, so there should be a way to "only" install this security update.
Otherwise, is there a way to get the original recovery back?

Original recovery wont work either.
You need a modified recovery that can install
Not approved firmwares. We had a nocheck recovery on huawei p9 forum. Something similar we need for this device.
You are playing with the fire by playing with that kind of updates without having the basic knowledge of ADB. HuRUpdater fails for many reasons and can brick easily your device even if you do the things right.
So basically you have to find original Recovery.Img and push it through adb. From the other hand the latest firmware is not signed from google yet so in a way its going to be useless since for every future update you will face issues if its not signed by google.
So basic steps find official firmware for your cust.
Extract recovery image, install adb on your pc
Google the commands for adb recovery,
Push recovery image.
Download firmware finder from google play,
Check firmware versions, check if its approved from Google
If not wait a week or so and it will get approval.
Then it will push automatically.
If your device is not to be rooted its not really worth to have twrp. If you are rooted then try to find no-check recovery for honor 10 and this way you can install upcoming updates and security patches with no google approval.
Be extra careful, a security update won't make your phone powerful. Instead you might brick it and never recover it again. As a developer i already send to garbage 5 huawei P9 devices and countless honor 8
Hello, I did the twrp magisk install on my mate 10 pro (BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432)) and right after that I read that I can't get official updates with twrp. I wanted to ask if I can just download the full BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432 update from Firmware Finder and find the recovery there somewhere. I am just speculating but is it a full rom or just partial update, can I open it with something and find the re overy img and just flash it trough fastboot? I read that there were two versions in FF and if you update the wrong one you will brick the device. doescit matter if I just get the recovery or should I go trough the process of detecting my versoin? On a side note is higher slowmo fps possible, I thought they would roll it out with that turbo gpu thing that overclocks the phone when it detects benchmarks.

Yes, download FullOTA from FF, extract update.app from update.zip.
Download and open Huawei Update Extractor. Go to the settings tab and disable Header check.
Go back to start tab and open update.app you previously extracted.
Rightclick on RECOVERY_RAMDISK and click on Extract Selected.
You will now have a stock recovery_ramdisk.img which can be flashed with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img).
It doesn't matter which version of B150 (You have BLA-L29C432B150) you get, both are fine as long as they are FullOTA.
The bricks occur when you flash a firmware with an old bootloader ontop of one with a new bootloader.
This will give you a hard-brick.
On BLA-L29C432 the bootloader was updated as of B146, so you can't downgrade past that (using FunkyHuawei for example or DLOAD/Service firmware).
You can downgrade past it using NoCheck recovery or HuRUpdater, but then you'll have a brick.
My theory is that an efuse, or similar, is blown when you flash a firmware with the new bootloader.
As for Slowmo camera, it will be introduced in Pie. Well, it is already in the beta.
As a side note, since you are unlocked and have TWRP you could just flash firmware directly from TWRP using HuRUpdater.
thanks, I was thinking of just doing that for the future but I felt like asking instead of doing something stupid and bricking it, I thoight there were two 150 versions and one bricked it but since it's just for downgrading I will update with with ff and huru from now on
Hello,
I wanted to flash Lineage OS 15.1 on my Huawei Mate 10 Lite (RNE-L21). I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP 3.1.1-0 (OpenKirin Edition, from here: Link).
Unfortunately, when only wanting to do a factory reset prior to the Lineage OS install, I accidentally wiped my system partition. Now Lineage OS won't install, as it is lacking the stock system (checks the system prior to the install, see XDA-LineageOS15.1-Link).
Now I want to install the stock firmware, in order to install Lineage OS. For this reason I checked my phones region and fastboot getvar vendorcountry returned vendorcountry: hw/eu. So I guess I am on C432? Please correct me if I am wrong. So I downloaded the RNE-L21C432B304 firmware from here. The downloaded update.zip folder with a fairly huge UPDATE.APP file (>4GB) I unzipped and put on the external-sd card in a folder named "dload". Inside the dload folder there is the UPDATE.APP file among some other files (folder META-INF, new_filecontext_system, ...). However, when I now enter the software upgrade mode (power + both volume keys) the install breaks at 5%. It seems that it either can't detect the UPDATE.APP file, or it is the wrong one. I also tried to put the dload folder into /sdcard/, but the outcome is the same. Also if I don't add any files (so no dload folder), the outcome is the same, it breaks at 5%, so I am not sure if it is even checking the UPDATE.APP file.
I hope somebody has a hint for me.
Best, Felix
P.s.: I also tried to flash the OpenKirin EMUI 8-based Build LineageOS 16.0 Build 2 using their guide (OpenKirin Installation Guide), which wasn't working. But as they state you need to have EMUI 8.0 installed, I guess the problem is that I don't have any system installed at the moment.
I finally figured it out. I was on Android 7 before deleting the system partiton. I didn't know there is such a big difference partitionwise between Android 7 and 8 and I always tried to flash an Android 8 image. Flashing an Android 7 image worked. Then I could update to Andorid 8 via stock Huawei tools and afterwards flash a custom rom.

I mostly used this site: Link
Additionally, there is some tool, which includes a lot of Huawei stock ROMs. Unfortunately, I can't find it anymore. But maybe you have some luck googling.
Because I just came by the tool I used: It is called Huawei Multi-Tool:
