Is rc30 the same as rc8, just us and uk versions.
Wondering if i can install the rc29 update.
RC8 is the UK version of RC30. If you have official RC8 then you can not root at this time. (or downgrade to any previous firmware)
cot damn google. So much more could be done with the phone if we had root access.
I am currently running JF 1.42(RC33) and would like to go to ADP for the purpose of creating themes. Is it as simple as downgrading to RC29 and then going up to ADP 1.1? I assume I would have to perform the entire process as if I were rooting from stock right?
|Spike|
you should be able to just flash the ADP1.1 firmware from RC33.
Hi Guys, I need some help
I am on MT-LV09xxxB137SP03/KitKat 4.4.2/EMUI 3.0 build. Recently I got a notification about an intermediate update before LolliPop: xxxB145: so I tried a OTA update which failed (no specific error, just "software update failed"). I downloaded manually the update, put that in the dload folder and tried a local update, failed for the same reason.
My phone is rooted via KingRoot (amazingly worked) but the bootloader is locked, so I wonder why the update fails.
With KingRoot there is an option to "Remove Root Permission" which I tried, thinking that it was the culprit. Then I tried to update and still it failed.
I was under the impression an OTA update fails only with a unlocked bootloader/custom recovery, but this does not seem the case. Any idea about what should I do?
Thanks,
Anubis

Hey man,
Just wanted to let you know: I have the EXACT same problem. Huawei AM7, KingRoot, OTA xxxB145 fail. I cannot further help, as I have no solution myself.
Hope someone can help.
Flash the stock image. Kingroot may have left some files behind even though you "uprooted" this the system is still seen as modified for purposes of the ota.

Did a factory reset, still software update fail. Then tried to install stock rom over the stock rom, but software update still fails...
Did you try local update from internal or external SD card?
Yes, tried that, but same 'software update fail' problem...
Are you sure that you are flashing the correct file for your specific variant? You cannot flash TL10 on L09, etc. It will give the error if you do that.
I found the problem:
1) When installing an OTA there is a check on the file system first and if it fails, the update is aborted
2) KingUser/KingRoot leaves the file system in a dirty state (there is a kinguser.apk left in /system/app) so the check fails
3) to install a clean OTA you need to have a clean recovery so you need to:
3.1) unlock the bootloader (to be able to install a stock recovery)
3.2) download the update (e.g. ...B145) you want to install
3.3) use the Huawei extractor to get the recovery.img file from the package
3.4) flash the stock recovery
3.5) upgrate with the OTA
I discovered it step by step. Basically you need to unlock the bootloader to fix things and therefore it is a waste of time to user KingRoot/KingUser in the first place: but faster/cleaner to unlock the bootloader and install SuperSU.

Still doesn't work I had the same but also had twrp recovery, I have my unlock code but no matter what adb I use I get remote command not allowed for trying to get stock recovery back or parse file failed with unlock code.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

u need to be unrooted to proceed ota. ..
Okay,
I have been trying over and over but there is no way I can perform an OTA. Here's the situation:
- The bootloader is unlocked
- Current Firmware: MT7-L09 ... B137SP03. According to the updater it should go with MT7-L09 ... B145
- OTA fails: on WiFi, local update (SD), forced (three buttons)
- In the systems/app folder I have this "KingUser.apk" app, has been left hanging there by KingRoot when I removed it
I was told to reinstall the stock recovery and try a local update, here's what I did:
1) I downloaded again the current FW (B137SP03) from here: http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei/firmwareupdate-b137-fuer-mate-7-ota/
2) extracted update.app, opened with the Huawei Extractor, got recovery.img from update.app
3) rebooted the Mate 7 (vol down + power) in fastboot mode
4) flashed the stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, got an ok
5) rebooted
6) put update.zip in the dload folder of the SD, performed a local update --> failed as usual
Is there anything I am doing wrong?

"UPDATE.ZIP" ??? I wonder that stock recovery may flash a zip file.
Check elsewhere in this forum the matter of the trash files left by kingroot, intead...

Did you read what I wrote?
The OTA is called update.zip and you can perform an update by putting it into the dload folder of the SD card and then using the updater or with a forced update (three buttons boot).
The recovery file is called recovery.img and it is inside the archive update.app which is inside update.zip
Anubis
Correct. But you wrote "put the update.zip file in the SD folder".
I suppose you mean the EXTRACTED update.app file in the SD folder.
That's it.
Anyway, peace and love.

No. I put the update.zip file in the dload folder of the SD card.
About removing KingRoot/KingUser after the self-removal option failed, I have only heard about installing SuperSu. Are you referring to it? Because that would imply to install a custom recovery, install supersu, clean-up, unroot via supersu, reinstall the stock recovery and then perform finally the OTA.

:good:
oh well... Did everything (KingUser was removed with the support of SuperSuMe), reverted back to the stock recovery and guess what? Software update failed as before.
I guess I'll have to stay with my firmware until lollipop or a custom rom based on lollipop will come

Hello,
tuddu is wright. The file which must be put in the dload folder is update.app and no update.zip.

I wish it would be that easy. It makes absolutely no difference whether I put in dload update.zip or its unzipped content.
the message is always "software install failed".

You should do a clean install ( 3 buttons ) of the full B137 firmware, it was happening also with my phone and I solved the issue in that way.
After the flash you'll be on a clean stock B137 so you can put the "update.zip" in the "dload" folder ( it's an OTA update, not a full update.app firmware ) and be able to get the latest B145 :good:
Hey everyone I'm attempting to get a flashable zip (for use with flashfire) so I can root this bad boy and keep the update. If there's none available I'm gonna just stay kitkat. So, any word on this?
This post is not original from me , I don't remember where it's and cannot find it.
If you are still on firmware P907AUCU1AND7 from AT&T SM-P907, you will need to upgrade to P907AUCU1ANK2 before P907AUCU1BOH3.
-Putting the updates on your SD Card,
-Boot into recovery ( Power+ Volume UP )
-Apply update from external storage and select the update zip.
This is P907AUCU1ANK2 KitKat OTA update.
https://mega.nz/#!INw0lbDC!2uvFS6gBx...be7-lPOJHGDr68
This is P907AUCU1BOH3 5.1.1 Lollipop OTA update.

Important: back up your data as each update it will reset your tablet. My tablet is not rooted, so I don't know your tablet keeps rooted after the update firmware.
The second update might take 5 to 10 minutes to start, so be patient when it unzip the file.
How to download the updates?
Hi, I clicked on the links provided but it says wrong decryption key.
I have the sm-907a (android 4.2.2) model but live in the England, so I am not with ATT.
Do not want ro root just upgrade to 5.1.1.
Are you able to help? ( clicking on the check for updates on the tablet comes back as using the latest version...)
Thanks

I can't use these files either. I just want to get to 5.1.1 also, would really help a lot of other programs run.

Can I just update this with oDin or is there a special trick? I don't have an active AT&T SIM.

You should read previous post, update via Recovery Mode by SD card
I downloaded the files. I am getting errors. I am sitting at 4.4.2 . Is there another image?
Unzip?
This may be a pretty stupid question, but do I just put the downloaded zipped file on an sd card or do I have to extract everything from the zipped file and put all of those on the sd card?

If you have the needed files, just place them in the SD card directory. Boot into recovery and select y apply update from SD card. The latest update will put you at P907AUCU1BOH5. Just be sure to update each update file in order and for safe keeping boot into the sistem in between to see if it took properly. As for rooting, to this date I have not found any way to gain root access to flash some other OS like Bliss 14.3, which would be fantastic on this device. Even the Bliss os 15 aplha with Android 12 would work amazingly. I run 14.3 on an old HP Stream 11 Laptop (ah-117wm).
