Stock Recovery

Edit: Nevermind. I was able to get the stock recovery from Shaka's page to work.
Anyone know where I can find the stock recovery image? I tried flashing the one from Shakalaka's megadownload page, but it won't boot on my Ultra. Just gives me the Android Gear Error image. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you still have the link for the stock recovery? I'd like to DL it for my files just in case something messes up when i start yo push for Nougat
Thank you

I am on mobile so can't get to it, but it is on Shakala's megadownload page. The same page where you download TWRP. It is in the WW folder. I believe you can find a link to the megadownload page in the root thread on page 6 or 7.

Nothing yet. Unless a user grabbed it, saved it, and wants to share it we are at the mercy of ASUS.

Did you have any noticable errors or issues after flashing? Also assuming you were rooted before, were you able to regain root access?

Here ya go guys sorry for the delay . Keep in mind I was rooted with twrp installed. After I flashed this my root was lost and stock recovery overwrote the twrp. I have been unable to flash twrp again and achievement with 7.0. I do notice 7.0 is way faster than marshmallow. Haven't really seen any bugs yet but keep in mind this is my second device .
All you want to do to flash this is put the file on the root of your internal memory and restart the device .you will get a notification to install the update . Its That simple

Thanks man. Giving it a shot now. I wonder if we would need Shaka to compile us a new TWRP.

Okay loaded and working good so far. No initial errors. I wanted a fresh load so I downloaded the update file and placed it on my external SD. Then I booted into boot loader and fastboot flashed the stock recovery. Next I booted into stock recovery. Selected factory reset, and then apply update from SD. I selected the update and it installed perfectly. Booted into nougat without errors.

Did the update fix the low call volume issue in Marshmallow?
How about Battery, were there any changes?

Got to work
Thanks a bunch you guys

Look again on that window (it's also in the screenshot),
there clearly is a 5.11 firmware (in the right frame of the app).
Took me also quite some time until I discovered it in the past - I thought I was stuck with only the latest firmware

5.11 is just the update code, it is the latest Android 6.0.1, you can install all regions but default one is much more compatible.
Just download and flash, do not forget to select ALL WIPE options. You have to wipe for downgrade.

You did not follow all steps, if you want to do something you think right, not blame Flashtool or anyone.
FTF should be about 2.6GB-3.0GB..

It may be because you flashed it manually. And unless we have rollback package for your model you may not be able to rollback to MM. Are you planning to install custom ROM or want to be on stock rom only.
Updater is not there means tou wont get OTA bit test build wont impact anything.
You may need to flash the oeminfo of your model as well.

Hi.
Bought gr 5 '17 yesterday. Running MM.
I want to update to Nougat, cant find my build number in firmware finder list.
Fb group admin (also member here...) suggested to download a B 370 package.
I want to ask will it work for B160?
Also, any link to step by step instructions for update? Sorry, non tech person here...
Note: if i click to dl a package from Firmware finder, it shows dl as a zip file. Once download is complete, then what?
Thanks in Advance.

I would advise to wait for official OTA (as you got the phone yesterday) but if you really want to do it-
Download this- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1279/g104/v82620/f2/full/update.zip
and this http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...cseas/update_data_full_BLL-L22_hw_spcseas.zip
Flash first file and boot to system. Then 2nd and boot.
You need to use dload method as below
Unzip 1st file and extract the package. You will get few files including update.app.
Few suggest to use only update.app file but I would advise, based on my personal experience for all dload method I tried, use all the files.
Create a folder dload under SD card and copy all the files to this folder.
Power off the phone. Remove USB cable, if connected.
Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button (3 keys together)
Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.
Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.
During restart, phone will verify the system image.
This verification and 1st boot may take upto 2-3 minutes so do not panic.
Repeat the same with 2nd zip file.
Good luck. Happy Flashing.

As mentioned, I am not too 'tech' and am worried might do the wrong thing.

Thank you for your Welcome Shashank I hope to learn alot from the XDA Forum and you, since this is my 1st Android phone o).

I have inserted the SIM and just like you said; I got an update from the Settings menu.
I am downloading update : BLL-L22C636B360 as we speak.
I am worried since I read on this thread that it might have some problems....

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I was away from the website for some time hoping someone can reach out, and yet there you are!
Well i actually got over the issue with the voice from Google and I have a keyboard now , but there are somethings out of place on my phone, like for example the clock is gone , my precious Notepad is gone as well along with all the important notes, before I attempted to root my device I made a full back up ( the root on my phone is terribly difficult, can't find a good guide that fits my need to do it safely.
My build number is: FRD-L09C1858B387

I don't want to brick my phone that's why I stopped from rooting it
And I want to get my clock back and more importantly to get the notes from notepad back :/
Thanks in advance!

Did not post any guide..
Its simple..but you need correct files to do it successfully..
Download correct stock firmware file
Correct I mean according to you model and build number.
The firmware number should be same or higher ..
If you have any question post here.

if i want to flash the stock firmware i should do it with which tool ? is it the same tool that is used with rooting which is TWRP , or do i use something else
and when you say the correct files , is the file required for this process called update.zip?

No tool is needed , you just need to place the correct UPDATE.APP (downloaded from honor official site) in a folder called dload a
at the root of your SD card, shut down your phone then hold power + both volume buttons. When the phone is starting release the power button but keep holding volume buttons. It should start installing the firmware.
If it doesn't work you probably need to install a stock recovery and retry.
If the firmware you have chosen is the wrong one the phone won't accept it . (Upgrade failed)
Please take note that if the process succeed it will erase all your data, you should take a backup before
Good luck bro even if it isn't a tough process, and let us know the end of the story

No tool is needed , you just need to place the correct UPDATE.APP (downloaded from honor official site) in a folder called dload a
at the root of your SD card, shut down your phone then hold power + both volume buttons. When the phone is starting release the power button but keep holding volume buttons. It should start installing the firmware.
If it doesn't work you probably need to install a stock recovery and retry.
If the firmware you have chosen is the wrong one the phone won't accept it . (Upgrade failed)
Please take note that if the process succeed it will erase all your data, you should take a backup before
Good luck bro even if it isn't a tough process, and let us know the end of the story

I want to try to root and fix my phone before the weekend started so I can have fun, can I annoy you or anyone else with this?
I need to get help with two things, first get the flash on my FRD-L09 FRD-L09C185B387, emui 5 androids 7.0 and get my notepad and clock back, second, i need to root it, in the right way with no issues.
Thanks best regards

To root it you first need to install a clean ROM without missing apps. In order to do that you need to perform the dload method that I detailed previously.
Then unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, flash superSU and you're rooted

HTC U11+ cannot flash RUU to get to stock so I can apply OTA

Hello there.
I have got another problem once again with getting my phone into stock.
I have the HTC u11 + from Taiwan, it's on 1.24.709.93.
So before I had Magisk installed and Unlocked bootloader. It modified my bootloader and then an update came up the update 1.24.709.994. So I wanted to update to it because it's annoying that it just pops up every now and then with a popup. So at first I tried to install it via normal ways by just clicking it to install it. It didn't work, it just went up to 25% when it was trying to install and then the Red exclamation mark came up. I know you can't install an OTA if you bootloader is modified. I got the 1.24.709.93 boot.img and flashed it over fastboot and then it successfully flashed it.
So I downloaded the RUU 1.24.709.93.rar one and then changed the name to 2Q4DIMG.zip then I put it into my sd card. I boot up to my download mode and press the VolUp and start flashing the 2Q4IMG.zip file. But I keep getting the 22_RU_Header_ERROR, 22_RU_Header_ERROR, FAIL22 RU_HEADER_ERROR. I don't understand why.
Can I get some help please?
Thank you very much for reading this.

The company HTC has never released its firmware in rar format. What you downloaded is a repackaging of the firmware files. Try to flash it was not worth it. The original RUU should only be a zip and signed with the appropriate key. For example 2Q4DIMG_OCEAN_M_DUGL_O80_SENSE90gp_htc_asia_tw_1.24.709.93_Radio_8998-002772-1712201227_release_528412_signed_2_4.zip

Thank you for the reply my friend.
However I really can't find any RUU files for the HTC U11 +. Could you maybe point out where it could possibly be?
Thanks once again.

You guys are the best. Thank you very much for the help. I didn't know that I had to specifically get that .zip file that had that appropriate key.
It worked flawlessly and now I updated my phone so it's perfect.
Thanks once again guys. You are the best!!!:laugh:
