Hello,
So, I am a newbie in all these things. Have an Honor 6 (H60-L02), B317, Android 4.4.2 and EMUI 3.0. Tried to understand this http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-stock-roms-t2963180, but so far not much success.
Q1: b532 or the latest available developer edition, hch one to download?
Q2: I bought my device rooted (or something like this: Chinese was changed to Russian). Now I checked the phone with Root Checker app, and it says "Root access is not properly installed on this device". Do I need to get rid of a root access or properly install it before updating phone to 5.1? Or it does not matter?
Q3: After downloading one of the stock roms from q1, hat are my actions? Is it enough to format SD-card, create "dload" folder there, unzip rom to it, and then to insert the card into the phone, launch "Update" app on the phone (the one with emui logo), choose "Local update" and wait? Or something else is required?
Is there any step-by-step manual for newbies like me? Something in a format of:
"1. download a rom
2. download a software version 1.x from this link.
3. launch the software
4. open rom in that software
etc."
It is hard to understand lots of termins and mentions of programs, but I am also tired of waiting for OTA-update, and none of the Huawei's emails answered. Their support sucks.

Okay, so I googled a bit more. Please, correct me, if I'm wrong:
1. install hisuite on pc, connect phone to pc
2. download the latest multitool, get rid of all traces of root, relock bootloader.
3. create "dload" folder on sd-card, put b317 rom in it.
4. apply 3buttons (+-power)
5. put b532 into dload folder on sd-card
6. launch it through "local update" phone app. wait till full reboot.
7. apply 3 buttons again
8. install gapps

I rooted my phone a few months ago which has prevented me from receiving OTA update. Is it possible to update from B119SP01 to the H60-L02_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_5.2.1 using the EMUI update option on PC? I've looked through this entire forum and haven't seen anyone mention updating this way, it seems too simple, will I brick my phone if I do this?

root does not prevent receiving OTA.
Any method of update (OTA, Local, PC) will failed if you don't have stock recovery, local.prop and build.prop.
All information you need have been posted many times in here so you have to look better.

Thanks for your reply. You are right the information has been posted, but it is not particularly specific, especially for script-kiddies like me who don't really understand what's going on. For example your post
"How to install Stock ROM:
Warning: You need to have stock recovery, /system/build.prop and /data/cust/prop/local.prop.
DON'T forget to set permissions to rw-r--r-- (644) after you restore build.prop and local.prop.
Download and unzip to get "dload" folder with "UPDATE.APP" inside.
Put "dload" folder with "UPDATE.APP" inside, to root of your SD.
(you will NOT lose your data) Open "Updater" > "Menu" > "Local update".
or
(You will lose your data)Turn off your phone and activated by holding all three buttons (Vol-, Vol+, Power)."
1. Should the stock recovery be for the current build I have or the one I am upgrading to? Should I place the stock recovery in SD card or Internal card?
2. What does it mean to set permission to rw-r--r-- (644), do I do that on my computer?
3. " Open "Updater" > "Menu" > "Local update"." Where exactly do I do this? On the phone's Updates menu there is no option for "Local Update"
I know these are newb questions, and I really appreciate your help.

1. You need to read this thread too.
2. You root your phone but you dont understand this? Why you root it then? Googlle it.
3. Stock ROMs got that option, if you cant find it use local update from HiSuite is the same.
I ended up flashing back the stock recovery with the mini tool then doing a local update via hisuite then restored my data through a titanium backup. Thanks for your help.
Root
How did u root the phone?, I can't root it :/
As the title states, I need help with understanding the basic steps on rooting the ASUS TF300.
I am not a programmer, I do not know the lingo or terms, and searching on the site has yielded very confusing results.
Basic steps?
1. Unlock boot loader - Why? What does this do?
2. TWRP? I have no clue, but I see references all over the place
3. Custom Recovery - What does this do? Do I need it?
4. Kernel - What is this?
5. ROM - What is this?
6. Install Super SU or SuperUser (what's the difference?, what does this do?
7. Install a root check app (to check if rooted I presume)
8. Install some form of file explorer (I have Fx File Explorer) and backup/control app (I have Titanium backup)- both paid forms
9. De-bloat with caution!
Where does the OEM firmware/software fit in this scheme? Does it exist as a backup or is it over-written? Do I have a choice?
As you can guess I'm lost. Reading threads after searching for "root TF300" or even the guides or the very good index, I have more questions than answers. How does one know what to do if the acronyms used are cryptic? (example TWRP~ what does this even stand for?)
I believe that not all steps are required, but I also believe the order I do things is important, and I'm concerned about bricking my TF300 by doing something wrong. I also don't want to assume that this is the same for every device or phones. (what steps work for a phone may not be the best for a tablet)
All I want to do is root and remove bloat. After I get this, I may consider upgrading the OS (kernel? Rom?) to something better.
Any links would be greatly appreciated. Please just bear in mind I'm so noob to this I don't know a ROM from a Kernel yet. (When I search, all answers are overly complicated developer definitions.)
Thank you!
Here is a "simple Step by Step" with notes in red as to how my mind tries to grasp this:
1. Upgrade your tablet to the desired firmware: 4.1 or 4.2 I assume they mean any OTA upgrade~ my tablet is current with JB 4.2.1 and I do not believe ASUS will plan on upgrading this anytime soon)
2. Be sure the correct drivers for your tablet are installed!! Installed where? on my PC? How do I know what are the correct drivers? Where can I get them?
3. Download the updated rooting toolkit: Updated Motochopper rooting toolkit -OK, I can do this!
4. Download TWRP for your firmware version:
- 4.1: TWRP 2.5.0.0 for Jellyeban 4.1
- 4.2: TWRP 2.5.0.0 for Jellybean 4.2 -This makes sense to me, as I am jellybean 4.2.1
5. Rename the downloaded TWRP blob file to twrp.blob and copy it to the root of your sdcard -what is a blob file? Is there a size requirement for the SD card? Does the SD have to be blank?
5. Extract the rooting toolkit to a place you like. -I assume the above mentioned motochopper? Does this answer my question above about the SD card?
== Part 2 - Rooting ==
1. Open up the folder where you placed the rooting toolkit. - with what program? A simple file explorer I assume?
2. Open the run file and follow the instructions -I hope there aren't any cryptic/over my head choices to make!
After installation the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted. -Does this install all the SuperSu stuff or is this it? What about customer recovery? Can I go back? what are the limitations of doing it this way assuming it works....
And this is just PART of the process!
I'll answer in logical order:

5. ROM - What is this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's the Operating System that's running on your tablet, i.e. what is called Lollipop or KitKat, or even further what makes the difference between Android and iOS.
Your ROM may come with some preinstalled apps, but with some ROMs they are separate (i.e. the Google apps).

2. TWRP? I have no clue, but I see references all over the place
3. Custom Recovery - What does this do? Do I need it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On your ASUS tablet you can, by default, only install ASUS supplied ROMs (i.e. updates).
In order to install a new ROM you need to unlock your device. You do that by unlocking the boot loader. Once you have unlocked the boot loader, you can install a custom recovery, such as TWRP (there are many custom recoveries, but for your device TWRP is recommended).
Once you have a custom recovery, installing a new ROM, or rooting your device, becomes a lot easier. No need to type in commands, but you can now use touch.
broderp said:
4. Kernel - What is this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your kernel is the most important part of your ROM. It's the software between apps and your actual hardware, the lowest level actually. The kernel determines if you can talk to certain pieces of hardware or not. If the kernel does not support certain hardware, that's it, you can't use it.
When your tablet boots up, the first thing it loads its the kernel, the kernel loads all other programs. Another responsibility of the kernel is to allow you to run multiple programs at once.
broderp said:
6. Install Super SU or SuperUser (what's the difference?, what does this do?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They allow you to execute programs with root privileges (i.e. no limit to privileges, can do anything), but also give you some protection so malicious programs cannot become root: you have to give explicit permissions for every app.

Yes.

Firmware often is part of the hardware: it gets written to special memory, and "sticks", i.e. when you reboot it stays there. If you get a T300 you should let ASUS run all the updates as it installs new firmware. Some firmware gets written when your device boots, meaning the special program, the kernel, starts, and at some point writes updated firmware to hardware.
So firmware is software that makes hardware a bit more flexible: else everything is hard-wired, if there's a problem you can't fix it, but with software you sometimes can fix a hardware issue.
Hope this helps!
First, to unlock the bootloader, you need to go the asus site and register your tablet. Then you can download the unlock app from the asus site as well. Next, move the unlock app from where ever it downloaded on your pc to your tablet. You can put it on the tablet RAM or on an SD card, it doesn't matter. On your tablet, go into the settings menu. under security(I think it is there) and enable 'unknown sources' for app installation. I haven't had the stock ROM for so long, I can't recall where that option is. Run the unlock app. It may take a couple times to unlock the tablet. WARNING! this will void your warrenty! So if your tablet is relatively new, think hard about this. Once your tablet is unlocked, then you can worry about TWRP and ROMS
TWRP is a custom recovery. It is officially Team Win Recovery Project, hence TWRP. It is a program that will allow you to back up your tablet before you make changes(very important in case you screw something up) and a host of other things including flashing custom ROMs. If you go into the LP 5.1 for the TF300 thread in the development area, it will have all the links for stuff like the current TWRP, Gapps packages and the newest LP ROM. It is great for our tablets and really wakes it up. Oh yeah, the TWRP site will have instructions for flashing TWRP on your newly unlocked tablet as well.
All this seems very intimidating for noobs, I was one about 4 months ago. I now feel sort of not-noobish. To install TWRP you will need either Fastboot or ADB on your computer. Google Fastboot or ADB and you should find plenty of answers. There are also 'lite' versions of Fastboot out there too. If you are on Windows 8 or 8.1 you will need one of those. Windows doesn't like fastboot or ADB for some reason

Hi all, I need to update to Android 5 so I can run the App for my Blood glucose meter. Been a while since I did this sort of thing. I dowloaded the B308 Firmware here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/firmware-mt7-l09c900b317-android-t3191174 but it fails during load. I've no idea what to do now...any ideas?
You should download the appropriate firmware for your region, after unzipping the firmware file you will find a folder called "dload" (the folder contains a file called "UPLOAD.APP", that's the actual firmware).
Copy that folder into your internal phone memory.
Now in your phone go to settings->updater, search for "local update" or something like that. The phone will then detect the firmware and flash it.
But to be clear I'm not 100% sure about the steps above, I did it that way and worked fine for me.
I updated from kitkat 4.4 directly into marshmallow 6.0
I'm not sure what region my phone was originally. I bought it off Ebay in the UK The build number is MT7-L09V100R001C00B137 I tried the one in the link which seemed similar and applied it much as you state, except I didn't unzip the file as most instructions say to leave it as Zip. There are no Letters after the build number which I understand normally show the region.

I think there is two ways to update, one is "OTA" update in which you download a *.zip file and flash it through recovery, you need to be on a specific build (the number after the "b" letter) to flash a specific new build. I don't know if this method eraes the storage or not because I haven't tried it before. It's easier than flashing the complete firmware.
According to the link in your first post, download the B317 build and flash it in recovery.
The other method is to flash the whole new firmware, (which was the method I used to update my device). Because with this method you just flash a 2 Gb file which has everything.
If you want to flash the whole firmware, see below.
If you live in the UK download the European firmware. See this link:-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784
In the link you can find the lollipop(5.1) and marshmallow(6.0) updates. Download the one you want, but of course the marshmallow(6.0) is the newer and better one.
Also there is "Full" and "OTA" versions of the update, download the "Full" not the "OTA". Also pay attention to the model number (Yours is MT-L09)
After downloading the file, put the "UPDATE.APP" file in the "dload" folder.
You can create that folder either on the SD Card or the phone's internal storage.
Now go to Settings->update and look for "local update" or something like that.
If you can't find that option then use the alternative method which is:- (power off the device, press the "volume down" + "volume up" + "power on" keys all on the same time, after you see the Huawei logo release the "power on" key and keep pressing the other two for 5 seconds or so).
But remember, this method of update will ERASE (delete) the phone's internal storage including apps, pictures, contacts...etc. So store a backup on your PC before updating.

Can you help me out? My mate 7 L09 doesn't receive any updates through OTA as well, and I never tried to root my phone or recovery etc, but willing to learn.
Hey Guys,
Im running my Honor 8 EMUI 4.1 FRD-L09C432B120. The device is rooted. Now I get that permanent notification to update on FRD-L09C432B131. I would like to update, but dont know how. After that I would like to update on Android 7 and EMUI 5.0 and root my device again or even not. Dont know yet.
The problem is, that I couldnt find a step by step manual or tutorial how to get the things done. I dont want to crash my device or lost any data, settings or customizations. I hope someone can help me or send me a link. Thank you so far.

Hi
It is not hard to do the update, and if you follow step by step it will nothing happen and nothing will crash
But since you want to update to Android Nougat 7 and want to have the EMUI 5 you can do it in two different way
First way and maybe very noob friendy and maybe the way to do it if you dont care about the latest possible Nougat 7
That would be in this way
Do it over the phone settings
Just do the given update to MM B131
And it will do the update to B131 and dont need to worry anything
After that one it should give you also an update over the phone settings to B360 wich is nougat android 7
BUT maybe it will give you just a newer version like B380 depanding on the region
For me it updated to B360
This way all you need to do is just check for updates in the phone settings and click on update the phone
After you do the update to Nougat android 7 and EMUI 5 it is recommended to do after that an factory reset
The factory reset you do also from the phone settings and it will wipe all of your data
So do a back up on your PC or on the SD card of your files
The apps you will have to reinstall from play store..
The second way I would recommend to you only if you care to have the very latest nougat wich is B381
If you want the latest like the B381 than you can save your self the trouble to update over the phone settings
Just do this
Download from this post there is an link given to mega uploads
Go to this post and download the latest B381
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72183284&postcount=46
When you have downloaded the latest firmware couse you want the very latest
Then extract the ZIP you have downloaded
You will get two ZIP files inside of the big one
Then create on the microSD card one folder with the name dload
Then do some more unzipping
First unzip the update.zip file and put it in the created dload folder on the SD card
You will have to put 3 files in that folder...
Look at the picture in the attachment how the files look like..
After you have moved the 3 files from update.zip to sd card
Dial this in you phone dialer
*#*#2846579#*#*
It will open one new window and than select firmware upgrade
Then select from sd card
It will ask you if you are sure than select yes and it will take few minutes like 6-7 minutes
And it will flash the first 3 files that you copied to the sd card..
The phone will restart from it self
Then delete all the files you have firstly moved to dload folder
Now when it is empty unzip the other full ota ZIP file
It will also give you 3 files like the first time
Like the first time move them to sd card to dload folder
Then again do the dial with the same process again
Select firmware upgrade
Then from SD card
Then select yes I am sure to install from the sd card
Now it will take less time to do the install
After you do this two installs you should do a factory reset
It usally help to fix some bugs wich can or dont have to be after a firmware update
But usally it is recommended to do it..
That would be that..
Just look the picture what files to have in the dload folder not to get confused
If this helps hit Thanks
If you unsure of something ask again
Will help again
thank you for that extensive answer.

But what about the unlocked bootloader, xposed, etc.? Can I just click update with a rooted device?
No. It won't work.
You'll have to flash the stock recovery.
And magisk and such won't work after.
The easiest way is to reflash stock recovery, do all the updates over OTA, and then re-root.
I have ZTE axon 7 mini from UK Carphone Warehouse distribution. It is single sim + micro SD variant (P852A11_UK). It comes with Android 6.0.1 (zte.20161125.112507) out of the box with no update yet. Screenshot of RECOVERY to compare (see attachment).
I read that there is a way to update this phone to Android 7.1 using the specific update files, but my phone could not detect that files. I have tried many of different firmwares with no success.
Finally, I managed to update my phone, and here is how:
0. BACKUP YOUR DATA just in case. Fully charge your phone. I am not responsible of any damage or warranty void if something went wrong. Use at your own risk.
1. Download Android 6.0.1 Spanish firmware ZTE B2017G V1.0.0B09, so '_UK' will be gone afther update.
Download link:
http://download.ztedevice.com/support/product/570/201612221103982/sd/20161222111119358.zip
Mirror (thanks @NewbieGamingYT):
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hYFuTYBHB5SnDeE2KCOHQf_62xr7EqOL
2. Unzip 20161222111119358.zip and find 'update.zip' file, than copy it to root directory of >internal storage< of your phone. I know some instructions says to copy it on SD card - in my case phone can't find it in 'updates' system menu, and it doesn't work in recovery 'update from SD' as well - phone just restarts after 2 seconds.
You can try to use your SD card firstly, but when it fails, just use internal storage.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Go to RECOVERY - press and hold VOLUME UP button, then press POWER ON. Wait till RECOVERY shows up.
5. Find "Apply update from inner card" - you can navigate using VOL +/- find 'update.zip' and accept using POWER single press.
6. Wait till its updated. Few minutes in my case.
7. Choose "Reboot system now" in RECOVERY.
8. Go to 'Update' menu and check for updates. In current version, it should be B2017G V1.0.0B09 without _UK.
9. Update to V1.0.0B12 via OTA ('update' function in settings) - it should be available - about 450 MB.
9.1 If it's not available, you can download it manually, and place 'update.zip' in root folder of your SD card or INTERNAL storage:

Mirror (thanks @NewbieGamingYT):
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hYFuTYBHB5SnDeE2KCOHQf_62xr7EqOL
10. After updating to V1.0.0B12 (still Android 6.0.1), you can update to Android 7.1.1 easly (ZTE B2017GV2.0.0B09). Download update (link below) and repeat step 9.1.

That's all! Be patient, first boot after (every) update could take even 10-15 minutes. After all you can check again 'update' in settings, you should be able to make OTA update to ZTE B2017GV2.1.0B12 (security patch 01.september.2017).
Much appreciated that's great thanks very much :good:
Nice guide - there apparently is a last step and that is to do a factory reset after updating I have seen other users say all features are properly available after this
I still await my Global version from gearbest with that £90 offer !

Isn't it ZTE B2017GV1.2.0B12 instead ZTE B2017GV2.0.0B12 ? DId you misswrite it or am I missing something since I am on 7.1.1 september 2017 but ZTE B2017GV1.2.0B12.

Yes, of course, I made a mistake! Thank you for letting me know and I'm sorry for confusion !
Cheers, thanks very much, just what i was looking for. Worked out perfect.:good::good:
That great on nougat now :good:
Nice! Will this work for other countries with the "carrier" variant of this phone? Or maybe people can figure that out thanks to OP. Considering picking this phone up at PC Mobile in Canada. Cheers.
does it works with dual sim version too?
I had some issues at step #2 - the update.zip was being rejected with "E: footer is wrong". It turns out that the first 2 times I downloaded B09 Spanish firmware it was slightly corrupted (but not enough to prevent extraction).
Third download of the file gave a different checksum and worked for me. MD5 sum of working file is:
20161222111119358.zip: 1FE524FC244D41DBF39A933A8FB9D00F.
Also, the MD5s for steps 9.1 and 10 (these worked first time for me, but took 3 hours):
Axon7mini_B12(SD card software).zip: 3B5737EAA4527490BA351D2C9693EC00
Axon7mini_Android7(SD card software).zip: EEFD9487846778290A850A868630480D
Tried this on a Canadian PC Mobile model to test it . After the first update it bricked.

It look like the Canadians will be stuck with MM on the AXON. I use it for music and on WIFI so, it's working well anyway for what I do. I use it as a wifi phone sometimes because the voice is clearer than my VOIP setup.
Hi
I followed your instructions and managed to update to 7.1.1. but m on B09 not B12. Does not offer me any OTA updates. Security patches are from June 17. Any idea how i can update to B12??

You have to unzip file that you have downloaded and there will be proper zip (update.zip) inside.
