Please help dont just read! Help! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

since i rooted my phone huawei honor 6 L02 i cannot perform the automatic update, i downloaded update.app from the emui website with the right build number, i put it in my sd card "dload" folder and when i chose "local update" on my phone, it boots in to recovery. I found the "dload" folder in recovery and when i try to open it it says "no files found" PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

How to find dload folder using stock recovery??
Or if you are using CWM you can't flash update.app with that recovery.

You need to be on stock recovery to update. TWRP or CWM does can not install official updates.
And even if you are on stock recovery updates may fail (especially OTA:s) if you have modified certain stock system files while rooted.

is this thread helping? http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-stock-roms-t2963180

you can only try, but I think it should work, cause it´s an real AL10 rom for the real AL10.. or did you change something in the oeminfo so that it is recognized as L09?

Dload always with external sd card
Do not try to use it with the internal
Search for the rollback package
Just simply download your device last firmware and extract the following with Huawei update extrator
1.boot .img
2.cust.img
3.recovery.img
4.system.img
5.userdata.img
Then boot your device into fastboot ,open adb command then flash
1.fastboot flash boot boot.img
2.fastboot flash cust cust.img
3.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.fastboot flash system system.img
5.fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Then 6. fastboot reboot
your device will go on reboot .
That's it back to normal
YES

So, i managed to flash nougat by this links
http://www.stechguide.com/honor-8-b360-nougat-update/
1. Update.zip
2. Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
putting the various files in the dload folder.
The first update.zip succedeed; but rebooting the system and making first configuration, i see that the os lacks on many apps (no keyboard!).
Trying to update with Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip i get incompatible firmware.
So my idea was to flash the original stock rom (android 6); i downloaded it on
http://www.stechguide.com/honor-8-b360-nougat-update/
and put everything in the dload folder.
But this time erecovery says to me "software installation failed, incompatibility with current version"
Any clue?
Thanks again

Need stock recovery image: MHA-L29C185

My phone is dead in water.. I have TWRP that complains that the system partition is read only,
I have erecovery that cannot says "getting package info failed" (dies afer "getting package info from server"), and manual downloading of image 138 putting it in dload folder of SDCARD did not go -- it complained that it was not the right version I think..
What can I do now? I thought that I ought to restore the recovery partition, but I can't seem to find it anywhere..
I'm going nuts here
HELP!!
PS: I have been downloading the firmwares from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha , they have two sets: Do I need the OTA or the FULL version to be put into SDCARD's "dload" folder?
You need the FULL version. OTA means "over the air update", and is meant to be applied from a specific version to bring you to a newer version without having to download everything.

well this is a long shot,try to unlock ur BL again.after that try to boot into twrp.and for now only L29C636 n AL00C00 have offline update files that can be flash thru dload folder.
edit-if you need stock recovery actually u can downlaod the full fw of your build and extract update.app using huawei extractor and flash the recovery.img thru twrp or adb
If you can, try firmware finder. For that to work your phone must boot. Or you can go with FunkyHuawei, but that costs money to use.
Both requires stock recovery to install though. And as @eddmecha says, only 2 builds are offline installable.
The system being read only in TWRP is normal as its added as RO in fstab. And if you have dm-verity enabled its no point in installing anything to /system.

Thank you very much; however, there is a problem with the huawei extractor: The extractor works and creates unknown_nn.img files, and there is another script, HuaweiFinder or something that renames them by guessing their contents. I have the "unknown" files, but that renaming script no longer works -- (it dies with FINDSTR errors).
So I can't find the recovery.. perhaps someone could do a "strings recovery.img" and tell me what I suppose to see in there, so I can do the same search amongs my unknown_nn.img files.. Many thanks! -t

I am right now trying to do that -- to fix the recovery to stock, so that eRecovery will let me recover anything!
But can't find it amongst the extracted "unknown_file.nn" files ..

UPDATE: After removing TWRP (with tears in my eyes) with:
sudo fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
I was able to get my phone back.. It works now!

TWRP always says 'permission denied' & filenames are completely different

Hi,
I have a Mate 9 , Build No. MHA-L09C432B182
Baseband is 21.516.00.00.010
Kernel: 4.1.18-g0ad0fb3
I unlocked bootloader, it is defenetely unlocked. I am able to install TWRP.
I installed twrp-3.0.2 and also twrp-3.1.0 versions but have same problems in both versions:
filenames/folder names in /sdcard (internal storage) are broken, I mean their original names are gone, all files and folders are named like imbj9yf1fATc4Tvm5zt+ and so on instead of Screenshots for example.
So I cannot find my supersu.zip but however I think it would not install, because of this error:
Also I cannot run a TWRP backup, it shows:
Backup started
Backup Folder /data/media/0/TWRP/Backups/UGM2171100001069/2017-07-21-13-11-39_NRD90M...
Can not create '/data/media/0/TWRP' folder (Permission denied)
Failed to make backup folder
I tried to CHMOD 755 this folder/path, did not work/help
Can anybody help me here?
Thx and best!
/data is encrypted by default using file based encryption. That's why you see those files in /sdcard (/data/media/0/). You can remove encryption by using Wipe - 'Format Data' button.
This will remove everything in /data including your files in /sdcard.
To flash stuff you can use an external SD card or remove encryption or flash this twrp: https://mega.nz/#!xg9hWbpJ!dNOWJVUuD_4JL8N8PiDXYsj3SnvaOfKxBndvWc_4wgo
and adb push (adb push file.zip /cache/file.zip) to /cache and flash from there. /cache is added as storage with that twrp.
If you want to remove encryption, flash official SuperSU 2.82 SR1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Or Magisk 13.3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Both require at least twrp 3.1.0.
If you chose to remove encryption you will also have to flash public and HW zips after Format Data, because files in /data/hw_init are removed which are needed for themes to work and 'System Update' and a few Huawei apps.

If you don't want to remove encryption you won't be able to backup /data.
If so use this SuperSU: https://mega.nz/#!18FW1QTQ!3DCA3KrIUSRqEu4L-expci4HcKtk6F25fE1u6ecJV9Q

Can you suggest what to do? Acutually I just want to install root to get titanium to work because I have older backups I want to look into to. After that I want to unroot again.
Not sure if i need encryption or if ishould decrypt now

Then don't bother with decryption.
So you basically just have to place the root of your choice (of the mega ones I linked, because the official ones will remove encryption in your boot image and you will boot loop if you flash the official ones) on an external SD or transfer to /cache with adb after flashing the linked twrp. Then flash root and you're good to go.
I think you can sideload root zip, I haven't tried it. But that's another possibility if you don't have an external SD.

Yes, it worked, i flashed supersu and got root acccess now, thx very much.
About unrooting later on, i understand I need to download the full stock rom, create a dload folder and copy update.app into it and reboot phone to download mode. It then will install stock rom and stock recovery, correct?
Will this erase internal storage again same like when unlocking bootloader?
thx!

No need (dload doesn't work anyway, except for AL00C00B115 and L29C636B136). You can uninstall using the SuperSU app or manually by removing /data/SuperSU.apk and restoring stock boot image. Boot image can be extracted from update.app for your model using Huawei Update extractor. Same goes for recovery. If you want to lock bootloader you have to install an update/same build number, you could use Firmware Finder for that or this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
In my experience it will not remove apps, but data seems to go poof (as in app settings and data). Unlocking bootloader again will remove apps though as it does a factory reset.

hi,
thx for your last reply!
I am still on root status. I needed to decrypt now, thus I selected format data.
After that, files and folders are named correctly and I am able to create a backup.
I flashed public ziip, the other one was corrupt, mayve because of failed download, however as I understand it is not the reason why it always goes back to encryption, isn't it?
But: Once I reboot to Android and go back to recovery it is encrypted again?
My current problem is: I need to move a TWRP backup to internal storage and run TWRP restore feature from recovery, but it is encrypted. Once I format data it is decrypted but internal storage empty again. So I reboot to Android (because mounting from within TWRP does not work )and put TWRP backup folder to internsal storage, but then I go back to recovery and see it is encrypted again :S like driving in a circle ...
And I cannot put backup folder to external micro sd as it is too large for my small micro sd I have.
Do I need to flash a decrypted bootimage? If yes, which one?
Can you help me on this maybe?

'Format Data', flash official Magisk 13.3 or SuperSU 2.82 SR1 (mine from mega doesn't remove encryption), flash public zip, flash HW zip. It should now stay decrypted. You might have to go back to TWRP start screen after Format, then select 'Reboot' - 'Reboot Recovery' if it doesn't want to mount /data after Format.
Rebooting to system after formatting but not flashing magisk or supersu will encrypt again.
I can make a decrypted boot image if it doesn't want to stay decrypted.

ok thx.
I redownloaded HW zip and checked md5 sum with the file from first attempt, same md5. However this is what i did:
Format data, tried to flash Magisk, but did not work, there was an error, this is why I flashed SuperSU 2.82 SR1 which worked with no errors. I flashed public zip right away, after that I flashed HW zip, but again, it did not work there were errors. However, encryption seems to be gone anyway. and yes, it keeps being decrypted.
I managed to get TWRP seeing an old TWRP Backup, which I pushed onto internal storage. I started restore of /data/ of that TWRP backup because I want to get the WhatsApp incl. data from data backup.
I booted up to Android and now I am faced with the next fuc*in problem: lock pattern of Dec 16. I cant remember and after few attemps devices is locked for 10 minutes, then for another 30 minutes ...
After google research it should be able to use Android device manager from a browser and to lock device and set a new pin/password to unlock the device. It is communicating as I can let the phone ring with no problem, but all how_tos show me this screen in android device manager interface

ok thx.
I redownloaded HW zip and checked md5 sum with the file from first attempt, same md5. However this is what i did:
Format data, tried to flash Magisk, but did not work, there was an error, this is why I flashed SuperSU 2.82 SR1 which worked with no errors. I flashed public zip right away, after that I flashed HW zip, but again, it did not work there were errors. However, encryption seems to be gone anyway. and yes, it keeps being decrypted.
I managed to get TWRP seeing an old TWRP Backup, which I pushed onto internal storage. I started restore of /data/ of that TWRP backup because I want to get the WhatsApp incl. data from data backup.
I booted up to Android and now I am faced with the next fuc*in problem: lock pattern of Dec 16. I cant remember and after few attemps devices is locked for 10 minutes, then for another 30 minutes ...
After google research it should be able to use Android device manager from a browser and to lock device and set a new pin/password to unlock the device. It is communicating as I can let the phone ring with no problem, but all how_tos show me this screen in android device manager interface
Of course it is me, who dont get this mask to set a new pin/password ( (

L09C432B190: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1366/g104/v89786/f1/full/update.zip

Rename public data zip to update_data_public.zip.
Rename hw data zip to update_all_hw.zip
ok, to summarize:
1) I download these 3 files:
full update.zip:
L09C432B190: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...ull/update.zip
L09C432B190 public data zip:

L09C432B190 hw data zip:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...-L09_hw_eu.zip
2) I extract recovery img file from update zip
3) I uninstall root from within super su app.
4) I rename zip files and flash public zip as well as hw zip from within twrp recovery
5) i put extraced recovery img to device by using "fastboot flash recovery "
Will it work like this? Or do I need to flash public and hw first and after that uninstall root from supersu?
and then in the end "fastboot oem lock" ? to get the bootloader locked and to switch off the boot message "your device cant be trusted" ?
and: I couldnt flash hw zip before as it ended up with errrors, is this why I dont have Search for updates in EMUI 5.0 anymore?

No. Follow the guide you linked, that's where you use those files.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
You could relock but it will say Bootloader Relocked instead of Bootloader Lock.
And if you don't plan on updating to B190 using the guide I suggest you download public and HW Data for B182 and flash those in twrp.
Can cause problems otherwise.
Flash public first. They will give errors because you're not supposed to flash them in twrp, they're official Huawei zips that are flashed using stock recovery.

OK and why i currently dont see menue point "search for updates" in EMUI 5.0 ? Maybe i will stay rooted as I see that xposed has now been released.
But I want to receive official OTAs anyway, but currently the full menue point for searching for updates is gone. Any idea?

I was not sure which was the last I flashed during last days, B182 or B190.
However, just redownload B182 files and flashed, first public, then hw zip.
Rebooted device, "search for updates" is available again, thank you very much
But it says B182 is latest update, so OTA not available for me so far yet. How can I manually flash to latest version B190 without loosing 'Search for Update' section?

You can with that guide i linked a couple of posts back. You can't flash update.zip in twrp, you have to use that guide to flash it. It's pretty straightforward. Download HWOTA BASE, HWOTA WINDOWS and HWOTA MHA (Mate 9), extract all to the same folder (C:\hwota is a good location). Download the files for B190 i linked a couple of posts back. Rename public data zip to update_data_public.zip.
Rename hw data zip to update_all_hw.zip, place them and update.zip in the update folder, run bat (if windows) or sh (Linux) then do what the prompts say. When it asks pick same brand update, then script update folder. It will transfer files for you. Bootloader will be locked when you're done.

Did like described, when it comes to "update should install automatically" it reboots into erecovery, but Software install failed!
The update package does not exists please download the package again
But all 3 files are within the script folder and named correctly i think, pls see my attached screenshot

Are they in the update folder? I think I see the update.bat file there.
Put them in the update folder (for example c:\hwota\update\)

yes, that was my fault.
Put to update folder and run again, update was running and finished with 100%. phone rebooted loaded very long. Now android is broken. I see my background image, but cannot do anything it is like hanging hanging hanging, everyhting very slow, like it is loading much of information. rebooted phone and waited some more time. seems now it is working and I am on B190. Now, i have to unlock bootloader again and install supersu again =)
thx for your help so far.
btw: u dont have any solution for my previous posted problem with my twrp backup, dont you? restoring twrp backup ends up in lock screen with pattern which I cant remember. Android Device Manager from PC browser can communictae with the phone but it does not offer me to set a new pin. Do you have any other method in mind how I can go on?

[GUIDE] Manual Update P20 PRO with HuRUpdater and TWRP

If you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP, you can flash a newer firmware using HuRUpdater
This steps can be risky for your device if you don't know what you are doing, so try to read some guide about flashing first
before attempt these operations if you are a new to these things.
I don't take any responsability of catastrophic failures and loss of data.
-- I did a titanium backup before the upgrade, but in my case no restore was needed as all data were retained.
In this simple update no factory reset was triggered.
Please read the HUrupdater thread also for more informations.
- Install Unofficial TWRP by Pretoriano80
- Download HuRUpdater 0.3 and put it in a folder in your sdcard
-Search the firmware for your device with Firmware Finder
Make sure you download the correct firmware version for your device (type, region code)
wrong firmware can brick your device
I used updated firmware files APPROVED for my device checked with firmware finder app.
I don't know if flashing NOT APPROVED files will harm your device. You have been warned.
I successfully updated my device from CLT-L29C636B130 to CLT-L29C636B131
***Don't try to rebrand your phone with this method***
- Use FullOTA-MF images of the firmware and download the 3 files needed
in my case:
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_CLT-L29_hw_spcseas.zip
- rename the 3 files to:
update.zip
update_data_public.zip
update_all_hw.zip
and put the files in the same folder with HuRUpdater 0.3
(optional)
- The Update will overwrite your TWRP custom recovery so to retain it automatically rename the TWRP IMAGE
twrp_clt_0.1.img to recovery.img and put in the same folder with others files.

}
- Remove all security locks from your phone before rebooting to TWRP.
Go to System- Developer Options
Disable Screen lock (third row)
this will suffice to remove the security locks of the phone (sequences, pin,fingerprints)
-Reboot to TWRP
If you are rooted, remove Magisk first with its uninstaller. I don't know if it's needed but better don't have things like that
messing around during the update. You can reroot later anyway.
-Go to the folder with the files and flash the system using the HuRUpdater_0.3.zip ONLY
That great tool will do all the job needed. After system, it will reflash the TWRP recovery IMG you previoulsly renamed
overwriting again the stock ramdisk_recovery that comes with the firmware.
It will take some minutes, don't panic and let the process end.
You will see some red errors but don't worry,it's fine
- Reboot in your TWRP to check (from inside TWRP , reboot - recovery, be sure not to have a usb cable plugged or it will trigger stock EMUI e-recovery)
- Wipe dalvik and cache
- Reroot new system with Magisk
-Reboot to system and restore the security lock in developer options
- Restore your fingerprints and pins
- Enjoy the update.
Thanks to @zxz0O0 for this great Tool, works good on P20 pro too.
And obviously @Pretoriano80 for his recovery.

Working adb sideload?
If an update is already approved by Huawei, can we just download the firmware through HFF and place it in the appropriate folder, go to SYSTEM to check for updates, and then install it?

I really don't know, and I don't think it will work.
As far as I know this is the only manual update method for now.
I just updated to unapproved .150 for my c636 and all seems fine
If I reinstall twrp by renaming it as recovery.img, will HuRUupdater install the twrp in recovery_ramdisk, or will it replace eRecovery instead?
If twrp doesn't replace eRecovery, how do I get to eRecovery? As of now, whenever I want to enter recovery, it will get to twrp.

The guide never said that you need sdcard
it said, that u need to put all those three files in same folder with the HuruUpdater.zip , and of course you can put it in your internal storage
i wont explain anything here. you better re-read the whole main post, as it already very clear
- put all files in one folder
- reboot to twrp
- flash huruupdater.zip
- boot to system
- reboot to twrp
- flash magisk to reroot
which step exactly that not understandable ? :silly:
I can install that's style orjinal filmware ty so much
Forgive me if this is not the appropriate forum, one question:
I have the Huawei P20, for this phone I only have 2 firmware files, the "Update .zip" and the "update_full_EML_L09_hw_eu.zip ".
Can't find the "update_data_public.zip"
Can I install the new firmware with Hurupdater anyway ? Thanks in advance.

You should check and ask at P20 and HURupdater threads.

Hello! Thank you very much for this tutorial .. A question.. I am in Chipset-boston 8.1.0. 001 (01DL) I have the bootloader open, just by installing the recovery that you say in the tutorial and then the other steps, I would not have a problem, right?
can I downgrade firmware safely with this method? im on 150 and want to go back to 130
