I need your help. Im using B919 original fw with custon recovery at a moment. I want to downgrade ICS to back 2.3 but phone won't start update at all. If i try do it via settings menu phone just reboot back to android. And if i try to use force update (+ : - and power button) display stay pink and won't do anything. I have placed DLOAD folder to root of my SD card. I even tried using original recovery.img but it behave similar. So what i have done wrongly ?
Does anyone know how to solve this small problem ?
Should i just flash some custom fw with custom recovery and then try flash original rom from dload folder. But what fw should i try ?
Problem solved. I just changed SD card and it start flashing right a away.

HI
i want to update from 4.1 to 4.2 (10.6.1.14.8) and i downloaded this firmware from asus global site
i used this way for last updates :
i decompressed that firmware i downloaded
then i rename it to " EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip " and copy this file to micro sd and insert sd into the tablet
then i power it down then i press and hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
at last i release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP
then the new firmware automatic was installed
my tablet is unlocked and rooted and i installed TWRP 5.0 on it (because i wanted to install superSU on it to root my device) and i don't installed any custom ROMs
i want to update from that way i wrote with that firmware i downloaded from asus global site.
does this way of update causes any problems on my device or not?

You can just download the 4.2 update, unzip it once and put the resulting zip file (no re-naming should be necessary) on you internal or microSD.
Boot into TWRP and flash the update from there.
You do not have the stock revovery anymore, so the tablet will not automatically recognize the update file.
Be aware that if you install the stock rom you will loose TWRP since the stock recovery will overwrite it.
Also back up root and restore after the update. Or, if that fails you can use the Motochopper tool to root JB 4.2.
All that said: If you are unlocked and have TWRP already (and I assume it's version 2.5 - not 5.0?) - why don't you first try CROMi-X???
It's SO much better than the stock rom and if you don't like it, you can always flash the stock rom.
The thread is in the Develoment section. Read the OP and make sure you first flash the correct bootloader for 4.2, then boot back into your old rom before flashing the custom rom.

Hi!
I would like to know if it is possible to restore the 4.4.4 kit kat backup on a 5.1. lollipop system. So basically i would like to update to 5.1 but then I may want to revert back to 4.4.4 with the back up of recovery's 4.4.4 (which is stored on a memory card) Is it possible? Is there a root out for 5.1 yet? please help me if you can.
EDIT:
Here is the solution how to root and install recovery on .368 firmware:
http://techbeasts.com/2015/09/18/ro...ria-z1-compact-android-511-146a0368-firmware/
This is how you create your own FTF firmware with XperiFirm and FlashTool:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/
This is how you make a pre rooted, flashable zip:

I hope everything is clear now. I followed the steps above and it is working fine.

you can update to 5.1 but use a prerooted firmware with recovery included,don t flash official cause you will not be able to root it and install recovery.
i reverted between kit kat and lollipop many times myself,no prob.
as long as you have a recovery installed i don t thing you will have a problem.
of course make a back up,in case you want back.
now i noticed you post in the wrong section,should be moved in questions and answers

that´s wrong - you can root LP FW with that TOOL from our genius dev @munjeni.
You only had to unlock the bootloader.
Do I need a custom recovery for flashing the new 5.1.1 firmware? I mean do I need the specific XZ Dual Recovery or can I use the recovery which was installed automatically after rooting?

you say that you made a backup of 4.4.4,right?
you entered recovery so you did it either with TWRP or CWM.TWRP and CWM are both recoveries.
you can flash pre rooted firmware and restore backups with both of them,i just prefer better and suggest TWRP.
remember that if you want to restore your back up you need to do it with the same recovery you made it,i think that TWRP cant restore backups made with CWM and vice-versa.
anyway,you can easily find what backup you have if you find the folders named TWRP and CLOCKWORK or CWM in your external or internal storage,back up files is about 4gb size.
how to install now:
1.reboot your phone and when your led light blink press volume down key to enter TWRP recovery.if it gets you in CWM reboot again and when led blink press volume up,so you enter TWRP recovery.
2.now you are in TWRP you press WIPE on the top right box.then drug the slider at the bottom SWIPE TO FACTORY RESET
3.press back button annd shoose install
4.find your prerooted zip,on the top centre under SELECT ZIP TO INSTALL,is STORAGE internal or external sd card
5.install zip:good:
PS:make a fresh backup before you start
Thank you so much. Finally someone explained it normally.
Can someone give me a link where I can find pre rooted 5.1 Rom as a zip file for my Z1 compact? It would also be important to be central europe, unbranded or telekom. Thank you in advance!
You can do one yourself.
I don't have URLs till hands but those are easy to find on forum.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.
Hello everyone!
I am newbie there so If I did something wrong then I am sorry.
I have a big problem so I so need your help (in sos?).
I am trying install back EMUI 3.1 cause 3.1 was faster and power saver than 4.0.3 so I would to install back 3.1.
I found a zip file which is contain update.app. It has been downloaded from huawei's site (c1.huawei.com). So maybe it is an offical package
I am trying install EMUI 3.1 since yesterday.. But I always got an error (Software install failed). If I install an rollback android 6 to 5 then my recovery is dies. I did everything I saw on xda and other forums.. My phone is unrooted, bootloader is unlocked everything.. I so need EMUI 3.1. :crying: Please a helpful person.
Thanks,
Balázs.
Solved
I hopefully solved the problem. Solution: Extract img files from .UPDATE app and flash it with fastboot.
You need flash boot recovery system and cui (or what is that) img with fastboot.
Now my problem is I do not have IMEI on 3.1 but on custom 4.0.3 rom I have that. So my SIM card is not reading I can't connect to network. Anyone can help me in SOS?
