Cannot update phone - Wrong recovery?

Hi!
I've recently installed a stock recovery image after I wanted to update to 5.1 on my L09, and I've had problems installing updates ever since.
Whenever I select a local update to apply, the phone restarts, loads up the update and quickly reports an error message saying that the update could not be installed. I suspect that I might have installed the stock recovery of the L10 instead of the L09, and thus the updater isn't working as it should, since the recovery image I've flashed wasn't labelled in any way.
What else could be the issue, and is there a recovery.img of the L09 recovery out there somewhere?

Try this
Download the correct firmware of your Mate and use Hisuite to update it over PC, Usb debbugging turn on
I had the unlocked bootloader L10 with L09 recovery and It works

Can't Set up Keyboard

I relocked my bootloader so i can unlock it again because TWRP refused to install on my Mate 8 after i upgraded it to Nougat. However, whenever i try setting up my phone and reach the wifi set up part, the keyboard doesn't show up. Instead, it only shows me the google voice keyboard and no buttons for me to type with. And when i try skipping that phase, it gets stuck on the "Checking Info" for hours on end. I'm in dire need of help. How do i get the stupid keyboard to function properly.

Did you try to install again the firmware via dload method on the external SD? If you do it, you make the factory reset at the end.

I faced same problem after installing nougat
I did the following to fix the problem
Dload stock firmware b320
Unlock my bootloader
Flash twrp recovery
Wip date (yes)
Fastboot to flash insecure boot.img for b320
Twrp to flash two files for b560
Update.zip & update data _all
Noting that u must flash the 2nd file data_all
Cause its include all google apk like keyboard
And Bluetooth file
After flashing both file do factory reset
Restart ur phone it will take 5min to reboot
Thanks

Updating issues

Friends! I have the US LTE version. Of the original shield tablet. It has been bugging me to update to 4.1 and since updating is a pain, I'd put it off till recently.
It was running 5.1.1, rooted, TWRP. The main reason for doing this is cos I wanted to change to ROW LTE as I'm in India and the US LTE modem does not include Airtels 4G LTE band 1800 and 2300.
What I thought to do is unroot, to back to stock recovery and flash 4.4 OTA and then update to 5.1 incrementally by system update. All images taken from OTA library thread. So here is what happened.
1) unrooted using supersu. Checked root status using basic root checker app.
2) downloaded the LTE ROW 4.4 recovery (2.27 gigs) and unzipped it to get recovery , system and boot image files.
3) Downloaded 4.4 LTE ROW OTA (750 MB) and renamed to update.zip
4) fastboot flash recovery, system and boot. All success.
5)Problem- Stock recovery does not load. Stuck at powered by Nvidia.
6) Lot of head scratching.
7) downloaded latest TWRP from TWRP site. Flashed ok but gets stuck at nvidia screen.
8) downloaded oldest twrp. Flashed ok. Boots into recovery now.
9) tried adb sideload update.zip.
Get error this package is for "shield tablet" this device is " ".
What do I do now?

Update. I had backed up before flashing , ans as such functionality has been restored. Is still like to go forward... so I'm gonna wait ur replies...

Need to upgrade but have questions

Hi guys. I rooted my phone after purchase about two years ago using https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
I am still running the same version now
Twrp
Model: MHA-L29
Build: MHA-L29C567B183
EMUI: 5.0
Android Version: 7.0
Any one got suggestions and steps to get to a newer version. I think I need to switch back to Erecovery etc but if someone had some exact steps and a good version to move to would be great. I had thought about installing magisk but my main concern is being able to run games like Pokemon go or Mario kart and they seem to be detecting my root. Not even sure having root is worth it anymore.

I installed stock recovery and did ota updates.. working like a champ!

Did you really flash TWRP to eRecovery? It is possible but people usually (specially if not installing Magisk on EMUI 9) flash TWRP to (EMUI) Recovery - which is not the same as eRecovery
So, do two tests:
- switch off
a) disconnect any USB
- press and keep pressing Vol+
- boot by Pow
In test b), do the same but with the phone connected to charger.
If it boots to TWRP in case a), then you flashed TWRP (as usual) to EMUI Recovery.
But if it boots to TWRP in case b), then you really flashed TWRP to eRecovery
If you have stock eRecovery, then in case b), once booted to eRecovery, do not accept Install latest or Factory reset, just Reboot or Shutdown
---
If you rooted by SuperSU, find an option like Full Unroot, or google for and find a zip for TWRP for unrooting - do unroot
Maybe, there are similar options for unrooting from phhSuperUser
Do not accept any OTA yet - if it comes
---
Install Firmware Finder app (from Playstore or from its thread on XDA).
Open, it will show firmwares for your MHA-L29C567
Scroll to the bottom to find your b183. Must be FullOTA-MF or FullOTA-MF-PV (2017.03.22)
Download its update.zip file, copy to PC, unzip to get update.apk - open it by Huawei Firmware Extractor (find its thread on XDA, read how to use it)
Extract Recovery.img (if you need to restore stock Ramdisk) or Recovery2.img (if you really need to restore stock eRecovery)
Extract also Boot.img
Flash Boot.img to Boot and Recovery.img to Recovery (if restoring Recovery), from TWRP or from Fastboot (similarly as you flashed TWRP from Fastboot back then)
Or, flash Boot.img to Boot and Recovery2.img to eRecovery, if you need to restore eRecovery
Now you should have stock Recovery and stock eRecovery - both tests a) and b) must not boot to TWRP
Also, you should have stock Boot - boot to system, check with RootChecker - there must be no more root
----
Have a proper SIM card and WiFi connection, go to Settings, System, Update, go to its menu and take the option to get Full OTA package
If it doesn't give you OTA update, boot to eRecovery (option b) as above, phone connected to the charger) and take Install latest firmware and recovery. Follow by Factory reset, only then boot to system
If eRecovery also fails to update from b183, you can try to update by HiSuite - it has also an option to choose installing a firmware
---
If it still fails to update, you can download by Firmware Finder b190 FullOTA-MF-PV (2017.10.31)
Download both zip files, do not unzip, copy them as downloaded to DLOAD folder on SD card (not Internal memory)
Switch off, press and keep pressing both Vol+ and Vol-, then boot by Pow
It should update to b190, and hopefully you will start receiving OTA updates for Oreo and Pie (must have SIM card)
If not - to be cont.
