what should I do

I Have a Huawei mate 8 NXT-L29C185B190. Couple of months ago I rooted my android. With TWRP and unlocked bootloader. I by mistake formated my phone with TWRP and then all my data including the Huawei mate 8 themes and icons were gone. The icons were like the older versions of android(messed up). Just a minute ago I got an OTA update. So I removed my root by SuperSU and then tried to update it. But then it redirected me to TWRP. I didn't what to do so I rebooted the device. What should I do to install the update and get stock version? (The update is not installed)

SRK Tool

Before trying to update you might want to fix the problems of your device, get SRK Tool, root your device, then go to utilities and flash the HW Init folder, that should solve the themes and the icons problem, then flash stock recovery and then get and flash
L29 C185 B190 through the Dload method, only after doing all this you should take the OTA without issues (dont worry when you doad L29 C185 B190 root is lost).
You could also try to only flash stock recovery (using SRK Tool) and take the OTA but very much likely the theme and icons problem will still be there, if the OTA update works that is.

Oh ok. What is the hw init folder? Is it like some type of Huawei folders? And if possible can like provide a link on how to do it. I know about the flashing. Its just that I am really scared that my phone may hardbrick. I looked on XDA Developers for this stock firmware but found it on another website. But the thing is that I'm scared if that websites porvides false information

Dont be so scared!

The HW_Init folder contains the folder structure needed so the themes can be applied, it also contains the default themes which are lost when you format Data from TWRP, its a quick fix and the SRK Tool makes it easier for you.

About the firmware you found, if you have the link to firmware theres a way to check the changelog, pass me the link and ill check it for you.

Ok, I rooted my phone(Huawei mate 8 NXT-L29C185B190)(L29B) using the SRK tool before and I did it again. So for the hw init folders I should check it on the internet right? Do u know how to flash it?
http://www.gizrom.com/huawei-mate-8-stock-roms/
This is the website that I found for my stock firmware
P.s thx for you help. I am a noob when it comes to this

Yes I do.

Open the tool (SRK tool) then select the option 7-Utility then select option 12 and then 1(mate 8), once the process started be aware of your devices screen, it should ask for root permission for an ADB shell and you have to grant access otherwise it wont work but dont worry you can try manytimes untill you get it right, your phone wont explode o anything like that If all went well , youll be asked to press any key at the end to reboot your phone, after reboot you should be able to apply themes and icons like usual.
About the firmware, this is the link where its being downloaded: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91645&version=357954&siteCode=pk, seems like its directly from huawei server, you could download it to your PC and explore it with firmware extractor or you could just flash it throught the dload method, if is not right for your phone it doesnt flash it.

The firmware is legit! its straight from huawei, if you download it and extract it you will see a manual from huawei telling about the update and whatnot, its safe to push through Dload.
Your welcome and good luck!

Oh thanks man just one last question before the start the process. So ehen you flash the stock firmware won't the stock recovery automatically be applied and if not is it necessary to flash stock recovery first then flash stock firmware? And theabove firmware link which u put, idit the firmware for NXT-L29C185B190 ( THE 64 GB 4 GB RAM MOCHA BROWN)
And I also heard if it is not the right version for your phone it can hardbrick it that why I am just making sure about the firmware. And when before I flash my firmware should is it need to factory reset the phone

Your welcome.

For the dload method you dont need the stock recovery, I have just learned that the E recovery its always inside the Mate 8 eventhough you have a custom recovery, so you just need to place the update app inside a folder called dload, the folder should be on you external SD card, then what you do is turn off your device and then press and hold volume up, volume down and the power button at the same time until you see a screen telling you that is checking the firmware, if the firmware is correct then E recovery will do its thing and flash the firmware, the stock recovery will be included, you will loose root and the bootloader will close again.
Or you could flash stock recovery just to be safe and then do the upgrade process (dload), you can do that with the SRK Tool, just be sure to install a stock recovery acording to your version of EMUI.
About the firmware, I cant say, I do no own that variant, thats for you to find out, google is your friend!
About bricking, you can only do that if you downgrade the wrong way or if you flash an incremental OTA file incorrectly and even then theres many ways and tools to bring the mate 8 back to life.
My advice is that if you are goin to be messing up with your device, always do it whith an open booltoader, always back up your base firmware right after opening bootloader, back up your cust, oem info and custom bin and always check that developer options are enabled and that Enable OEM unlock and USB debuggin optiond are enabled as well.

Just realized this is in the wrong segment! @Jerry77827 Please read the forum rules before posting anything in XDA, dont be impolite!

How Do I Get The Boot Image For The Honor 8 USA FRD_L14?

Pls Help Me

You will need to extract the boot.img file from the stock ROM image. To do this you will need to download the stock ROM image and the Huawei Update Extractor Tool. I've found this website seems to have many of the latest stock ROMs available to download. Even if it isn't the absolute latest version, the most recent version available will likely work because it is rare that the boot.img file is changed for minor updates.
Here is a video that shows how to use the tool to extract files. The video shows several files being extracted as an example, but if you only need the boot.img file, then extract just that single file.
Hopefully that helps!

@sic0048 , would a twrp back of boot be of any help?
p.s. phone is rooted though.

eRecovery will not download package properly so I can factory reset

I need to factory reset my view 10 BKL-L09 but when I go into recovery once it connects to wifi it says it failed to get the package and I'm stuck. I can get it into fastboot mode but don't know of a way to factory reset and then flash whichever image I would need. I've tried the adb line that deletes user data to no avail. I'm guessing since things got corrupted when I tried to flash xposed that its causing the recovery problems as well I guess.

I've downloaded firmware finder and downloaded the appropriate files for the bkl-l09 however when I use the extractor tool for some reason I can't seem to find the img files I need to input into the huawei multi tool that will let you inbrick so if anyone has those files I'd appreciate it or maybe give me a step by step guide to how to use the extractor tool properly

You should not change anything before there is a full firmware package.
Unfortunately, there is still nothing for the international version.
That's why I'm not rooting anything anymore,before the full firmware gives
Same on my Honor 7x no Updates or Firmware since 1,5 Month

Yeah, is it full firmware uploaded on proteammt site. I know the usual size is around 2,40GB, but that's the only firmware uploaded there.
Anyway, you can't directly "install" the update like an app. I'm aware of a method that let you flash system, boot and recovery images through fastboot mode, but sincerely in way to avoid any kind of issue, i suggest you to use dload method to flash B360-PV (point version), and then update to B375 by Huawei's sysyem update app.
You can find first Nougat firmware to flash with dload method here http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v82485/f1/full/update.zip - once done, download updates until you'll arrive to B375.

thank you so much im gonna try it later

so i did the sd card thing with this one "You can find first Nougat firmware to flash with dload method here http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v82485/f1/full/update.zip" and now it boots againe but i dont know where i can get these updates that you told me to do after.
edit: haha i got it now thank you soooo much you safed my life dude

Glad that you've solved it man! Nothing hard to do
