CWM to flash UPDATE.APP - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
The latest ROM for my Huawei P1 is in the UPDATE.APP format which I can't flash with CWM. The official software update option does not seem to work once the recovery is replaced....
Can an UPDATE.APP be converted to update.zip?

extract .zip archive from download
copy the dload folder from archive to SD card /sdcard/dload/update.app
METHOD 1
Settings->Storage->Software Upgrade->SD card Upgrade->Confirm->Upgrade to start upgrade
METHOD 2
power off device
press VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN then press the POWER key to enter upgrade mode (keep buttons pressed at least 5 s)
if this is not working do not lose time and send email to Huawei support they will take care about this problem for sure because
1.you are a customer for them
2.you are trying to flash an official update !

Thank you for taking the time to reply, but as I said in my OP that the official update process (as you have described) does not work. I think because my phone is from another country and I am trying to put a UK UPDATE.APP on it. I have rooted and got CWM that will flash update.zip format, but the latest ROM is not available in ZIP format yet.

I realize this was a year ago, but if anyone else comes across this post I have a solution to flashing Huawei's UPDATE.APP files to my U9500 (Ascend D1) with CWM installed. I assume it is applicable to the P1 as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41353293&postcount=9

The file named "Update_data_full_hw_(insert your region here).ZIP" It's a US, EU or Asia specific file you should flash as well. It include soft keyboard and other useful stuff.
Place ALL of its contents in the dload folder when flashing.

[GUIDE][NOUGAT]How to go back from Custom Rom to EMUI

Here's a guide for how to go back from a Custom Rom (fe. RROS) back to EMUI. I went through the same process successfully.
IMPORTANT: This is ONLY for Nougat!! You can neither rollback from Project Treble Rom using this guide nor from any other Oreo Rom in the future.
1. Download the file for your device from the following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892 and unpack the rar file.
2. You'll get a dload folder. Copy the entire folder to the root of your SD card.
3. Power off your phone and boot it into dload (Volume down + Volume up + Power)
4. After it finished installing this first file, interrupt the startup and boot into recovery (hold Volume up + Power until it forcibly reboots).
5. Do a factory reset and wipe cache.
6. Remove the SD card from the phone and do the following steps on your PC (you can let the phone sit in Recovery while doing that):
6a. Go into /dload/ folder of the SD card and remove update.app.
6b. Go into the other folder in /dload/ and move its .app file into /dload/
6c. Rename this .app file into update.app
6d. Eject the SD card from your PC and insert it in your phone again.
7. Hold Volume down and Volume up while tapping Reboot.
8. It should start the second installation in dload mode, let it install, reboot and you're done

Hello, the downloadlinks from the linked thread are down, is there any other way to get the firmware files?

Download Firmware Finder for Huawei:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder
You should be able to get the files of any firmware. Probably you're even able to go back from an Oreo custom rom to EMUI 8 but I haven't tested that. However I don't recommend installing firmware files from a different Android version than the one of your current custom rom.
Edit: First file to install is the firmware, second is vendor (Nougat).
Doing it on Oreo, second step might not be necessary since it's Project Treble.
Also, as I said, I'm NOT sure if this works exactly in that way on Oreo.

Okay, thanks alot for your kind response!
---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------
One more question: the oldest version I can get using this firmware finder app is B160. In the thread you linked, B130 was mentioned. Does it make any difference when im on RROS 5.8.5 currently and want to go back?
Edit: I was searching firmwares for STF-L09S and not STF-L09 but I still wonder if it makes any difference which version I use for the dload method as long as its Nougat
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It most likely won't make a difference which Nougat version you install. The only thing is that there are several versions where capacitive buttons and flashlight breaks when unlocking the bootloader or/and rooting it. Same with Oreo firmwares but for Oreo there is a fix.
And about the S version, I'm sorry I don't know the difference myself. :/ I actually just made this guide because I wanted to help others with my way of going back to Stock as I didn't find any guides specifically on that when I did it myself.

Okay... you have a "Rollback package" (C900 = free region). So now, you need to flash a complete firmware. It's easy with "dload" folder method.
Honor Chinese website doesn't give any firmware for Honor 8 now... I found B135 (Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.1 but you can do OTA updates, so it's good ) which will flash correctly on your phone and here is a link: https://mega.nz/#!ZgU22BYa!FP8UYXghy0dXxOYFeSf4BKdlF5_8AbVMKQ0ONkV5VpQ (It's for AL10 AND AL00 too, no worry!)
Steps for "dload" folder method:
0. Backup your phone! Factory Reset (Wipe internal storage only) can be made after update or needed if you have freezes/crashes/bootloop
1. Unzip firmware and copy dload folder to the phone (check if you have "dload/update.app" file - in SD card it's always working, but you can try internal storage too)
2. Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
3. After long update, phone boot can be very slow (2-5 minutes) so wait patiently!
4. If successfully booted, check now if you have OTA updates. (you can delete the "dload" folder if all is okay then )

I don't know why it will can not work. It could be not pre-installed but you can install (and use) "Google services" APKs easily. (Don't forget to allow "Storage" permission / give full permissions)
Total size of the firmware given above is 5.29 GB (!!!) and you need to use "7-zip" to extract .tar.gz archive inside "Soft..." or "...Soft" folder. Extract archive again until you have "dload" folder which have "UPDATE.APP" file and 5 directories.
If I knew your phone model (AL00 or AL10?), I can try to give you the last firmware allowed to install on your phone (the "FullOTA" one - complete package firmware).

EDIT: Check your vendor info, type this phone number: *#*#2846579#*#* then go to "Network Information Query" > "Vendor Country Info". If you see "Vendor: all" and "Country: cn" = OK you can follow:
EDIT 2: If you see "allwyf" in vendor info, tell me and I will give you the good zip files!
Try to flash FRD-AL10C00B396 - "all-cn" vendor - January 2018 security patches included, via dload method. But there is 3 files to flash (in order!):
0) Backup your phone! Factory Reset (Wipe internal storage only) can be made after update or needed if you have freezes/crashes/bootloop.
/!\ It's better to use a SD Card, don't know if it works if you send files into Internal Storage! /!\
First flash: update.zip
1) Unzip archive, create "dload" folder inside root of SD Card memory if not present -or- delete "dload" content if exists, then transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory.
2) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
3) First Boot can take some minutes, wait patiently...
Second flash: update_full_FRD-AL10_all_cn.zip
4) Unzip archive and transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory. (click "Yes" for erasing previous file)
5) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
6) And... Boot again... ^^
Third flash: update_data_full_public.zip
7) Unzip archive and transfer extracted file named "UPDATE.APP" inside "dload" directory. (click "Yes" for erasing previous file)
8) Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
9) All files were flashed! OTA update will not give you updates because it's the latest OTA update (currently)...
10) If any issue, Factory Reset can help.

SOLVED i unbricked my GR5 2017 BLL-L21
SOLVED
I finally managed to unbrick my GR5 2017 (Honor 6x) BLL-L21 after i lost all hope
After countless attempts to unbrick the phone i managed to go back full stock with EMUI,
All i had to do is:
> Get a GOOD sd card 8gb at least, mine was SanDisk
> Full wipe/data format in twrp
> Turn off the phone
> Now go back to your pc and unzip the update.zip file that you downloaded (make sure to download the correct file depending on your model number)
> Create dload folder in the update folder
> Put UPDATE.APP file in dload folder
> Format sd card using exFAT
> Copy dload folder to the sd card
> Put sd card inside the phone and press volume up + volume down + power at the same time
> Wait until u see Huawei/ Honor logo and release all buttons
> Now the phone will detect the package and start updating
> After update is successful the phone will reboot
Here it gets a bit tricky for me, after reboot i had this message "your phone has failed verification and may not work properly", so this is what i did:
> Shut down phone and remove sd card
> Go back to your computer and unzip this file "update_full_BLL-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" (make sure to download the correct file for your model)
> Now create a folder and rename it "dload" and move the UPDATE.APP file from the update_full_BLL-L21_hw_meafnaf inside the dload folder
> Format sd card using exFAT
> Copy dload folder to the sd card
> Put sd card inside phone and press volume up + volume down + power at the same time

> After update is successful the phone will reboot
> Now phone will boot properly

Honor 6x Hard Bricked

While trying to flash a GSI (AICP) on my Honor 6x, I accidentally wiped system and recovery 2 partition.
I was able to boot to fastboot, and somehow to TWRP. So I took the Nougat firmware, put it in Huawei Firmware Extraction utility, and there was an option to create a flashable zip.
I took this zip and flashed on the phone. This was FullOTA Update.APP that I had flashed from TWRP, and ever since, the phone is not turning on. Nope, Fastboot is also not working, neither is screen turning on.
I brought a one plus 6 for myself, as permanent driver, but I miss the Honor 6x.
I wanted to check if there is someone here who could tell me a way to fix this mess.
Looks like you posted in the wrong section. Anyways, download the Full OTA package, and try flashing it with DLOAD method:
1. Extract the Full OTA package
2. Copy the content (all files in the folder where the UPDATE.APP file is located) of the extracted zip in the "dload" folder on your phone's sd card
3. Put your SD Card back in the phone and hold volume up, volume down and power buttons all together.
4. Your phone will start and reboot once, keep the buttons down.
5. Firmware flashing will start: now you can stop pressing the buttons.
Let me know if this works!
