[Q] Back to stock recovery B137SP03 without recovery image

Hello all,
I have been going slightly mad today trying to get my mate 7 2GB back from CWM to stock recovery. The main problem is that I do not have a stock recovery image. But after being shown where to find one, I noticed that I could not get it successfully flashed either.
Since I do not really know how to do this, I used flashify, but that did not work and either returned me to the CWM or sent me to rescue.
Can someone help me to a) get a stock recovery image for the Mate 7 version MT7-L09 and b) show me how to properly flash it?

Find stock recovery is easy.. only a question why flashify don't work for you? It work fine for me... your device is rooted?

Hi @dzjero86, my device is rooted and I am on the B137SP03 version atm, using CWM. Don't know why Flashify is not working for flashing a recovery image. It works fine to flash a CWM recovery. Maybe I have the wrong stock recovery... If you can find it, can you send me the link or add it as an attachment here?

Please guys help me to . i have that same problem i have been trying to flash the stock recovery again but i couldn't even with flashify after i flash i takes me to bootloader screen and it shows me a fun_error message
I have a tl-10 device

A way to find the stock recovery is : download the whole B137SP03 Rom from the Huawei site , and use a tool called "Firmware unpacker for Huawei" whit this tool you can extract the recovery.img from the Rom and try to flash it using flashify

Do you tried flash via fastboot ?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or try to use this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...custom-recovery-tool-mt7-l10-l10-mt7-t3022424
This should work.

The fast boot just stucks at waiting for device
And the tool you send says that the stock recovery works only on tl_09 and my device is tl_10

Ok, I couldnt access your firmware unpacker, but I did manage to use the tool you suggested.
I have a different recovery screen, but is this the right one? It has EMUI large in centre screen and the options reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
If this is the correct one, and I am already on the D137SP03 ROM, I should be able to locally update right?
I tried this, and got a lot further this time, but my phone gave an error message during the update. Do I need to flash the original B137SP03 rom again, even though I am already on it?

I think you maybe can flash using adb commands and also you need adb drivers working

I think so. If stock looks like I described: black screen, large EMUI logo, and the options reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition?

That's right... you have stock recovery... sometimes the update fail if the UPDATE.APP is on the internal storage.. try to flash from a micro sd card or re-download the update ....
English is not my first language...

No luck so far.... I've downloaded the update.zip, put it in my mnt/ext_sdcard/dload folder and start the local update. It begins OK, as the progress bar moves along. But after about 25% it shoots to the end, and then I get an update failed screen with a red exclamation mark.
What could I try to get it to work??

Ok, I just reinstalled the B137P03 version from the how to install lollipop thread, and that went successful. Now going to try the update.zip! Keep you posted

Ah, now we're talking It seems to have worked. Phone is now showing 'Android is upgrading' and 'optimising app.....'
Great! It does seem strange I had to reinstall the B137SP03 rom, but that did the trick!

If I were you I would download stock firmware and flash it via fastboot to avoid any further inconviniences

I recommend flashing your factory firmware, which can easily be found on the forums here

Sorry man , baseband errors normally result in no mobile network and ability to make phone calls :/. When I flashed marshmallow on my phone , it said not found next to baseband. You may want to fully flash MM then when it gets to bootloader unlocked screen , wait a few minutes. If it does nothing, try flashing twrp recovery and flashing a lollipop custom rom.

Mate , no one noticed that you are trying to flash the ota zip in recovery. you are not meant to do that. Flash it using Fastboot. Go download Motorola device manager to get the right drivers, and get minimal adb and fastboot, when you have done that, come back here !

Try using mfastboot instead of fastboot, go with 6.0 firmware, make sure you flash all sparsechunks included. Baseband should be restored

Please help,lost everything

I rooted my device which is a huawei p8 max with the kingroot apk and i installed the twrp recovery (the MATE S TWRP) which still works.
Unfortunately i deleted EVERYTHING in my p8 max.. there are NO DATA and NO SYSTEM files.
There's only the mate s recovery that works.
I tried to flash a zip with the stock firmware inside but the recovery showed me "unable to mount '\system' " and "Zip file is corrupt!" in red.
In addiction, my pc can't even recognize my p8 max, but it shows a connected device called "CRR - L09" that is my phone.
It is shown as an MTP device because I DIDN'T ENABLE THE USB DEBUGGING on my phone.
Is has a folder "internal storage" in which i put my zip with the stock firmware to flash(i said it didn't work) and other 2 sub-folders that are "TWRP" and "obb". Just these two.
My HiSuite(the huawei tool) can't recognize of course my device
__________________________________________________ ___
bootloader unlocked
twrp installed and working
root
my pc sees just an mtp device (CRR - L09)
device EMPTY with just an internal storage with other 2 folders (twrp,obb)
__________________________________________________ ___
I'M SO FRUSTRATED, IF IT'S POSSIBLE I'D LIKE TO HAVE MY PHONE BACK PLEASE
