Reverting Back to Stock Rom in Honor 4X(MSM8916)

Hi this is a thread for new users to revert back to stock rom in huawei Honor 4x from their custom roms .
Follow these steps only if have unlocked your bootloader and had custom rom installed already. Of course you must have already installed custom recovery (twrp or cwm). This guide will also allow you to revert back to stock huawei recovery.
Step 1 : Download the ROM Package from the link~1GB)
http://www.huaweidevice.co.in/Downloads/Cherry-L04-V100R001C900B126.rar
Step2 : Extract using Winrar. (Inside dload folder you will find Update.app file)
Step3 :Now Download Huawei Update extractor and install
http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-3239393-1-1.html
Step4 : Now Run the huawei update extractor and point to the update.app file.Now the contents of the update.app file will be displayed.
Select the Boot.img,recovery.img and System.img alone and select extract by rightclicking it.
Step5:Now we need the adb tool kit, .(~10mb)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CpdMmTiXaVdS1Eam5RY3BVR3c/view?pli=1
Step6:
Install and configure the Adb. Make sure once installed connect the device to usb and press vol down + Power button together.It will enter fastboot mode. Make sure phone is unlocked.
Step7:Now copy the extracted recovery.img,system.img and boot. img to the adb root folder which should be in c:\adb\.
Step8: Now in terminal window of adb , type these
1. "adb devices" -Displays some id of your device which makes sure your device is connected.
2. "Fastboot Flash recovery recovery.img" - Flashes stock recovery
3. "fastboot flash system system.img" - Replaces your custom rom with stock rom
4."Fastboot flash boot boot.img" - Flashes boot partition which is need to boot stock rom.
Step9:Now all is flashed.
"adb reboot" - Reboots your device.
Step10:Wait for few mins and your phone reboots into stock emui rom. Now if you want the second emui update. Download from hihonour.in and flash the downloaded zip with stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
Hey Huawei. I contacted you earlier for the bootloader unlock key and got the same from you which I would Like to thank yOu for same. After unlocking bootloader I installed MIUI ROM on my Honor 4x (Che1-l04) and it ran smoothly. But I didn't like it much and wanted to change back to my stock ROM. I tried to Install your Honor 4x Android L. I extracted the ZIP file using Huawei Update extractor and did the steps mentioned by XDA Developers. Here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/reverting-to-stock-rom-honor-4xmsm8916-t3168732
After doing All steps While doing ''adb reboot'' Its saying DEVICE NOT FOUND in cmd. I Found that i forgot to turn on USB debugging. But now my device is struck on FASTBOOT AND RESCUE MODE.(PHONE UNLOCKED).I am not able to tur it on. I tried many steps to show my device but failed. Please help me regarding this. I will be highly thankful to you

Beware!
This tutorial seems to be written very sloppy and doesn't work at all. (at least not on a CHE2-11)
After entering fastboot mode no adb commands will work.
"adb boot" must be replaced by fastboot reboot.
After applying your changes however my pone hangs at the first screen (showing "honor")

I've the same problem than you tosho1. And the adb commands not work in bootloader/fastboot mode. Only in recovery and system

some issuses
when i extract the recovery, boot and system.img files from the UPDATE.APP file with the Update Extractor tool, it creates 6 files instead of 3:
1. BOOT.img
2. BOOT.img.header
3. RECOVERY.img
4. RECOVERY.img.header
5. SYSTEM.img
6. SYSTEM.img.header
What is the purpose of the file which ends with ".header" extension ?

In case, anyone wants to know how to downgrade from Marshmallow to kitkat on honor 4x. Refer this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/help/provide-downgrade-procedure-emui-4-0-to-t3409717/page2
Solution is given on Page 2. Also, you cannot downgrade to 4.4.4 directly from 6.0.1. You need to go from 6.0 to 5.1 and then 4.4.4. For details refer the link.

I cant install the adb tool ki. it keeps closing

Honor 6 - Unable to access recovery mode. Stuck at boot screen (honor logo)

Hi,
My Honor 6 (Indian Version) was stuck in boot loop post OTA upgrade from B822 to B831. In order to fix this issue, I went through many forums available online and then decided to use the Multi Tool to downgrade to Android L & EMUI 3.1.
To get this done I have followed the below steps:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM files from the update package downloaded from Honor.in site. //(Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C675B570_India_Flipkart)//
3. Used Multi Tool to unbrick.
Post this the phone is not able to get into recovery mode; it's stuck at the logo screen. It doesnot recognise the 3 button command to boot into recovery mode.
I have tried using the 'boot to recovery' command in Multi Tool but it throws error "daemon not running starting on port 5037".
I have also tried adb command but for some reason my computer does not recognise my mobile.
i.e. adb devices --> doesnot show my device. (yes, I have updated the abb drivers). So I am not able to use any adb commands.
Then i tried installing/flashing CWM & TWRP recovery. None helped. :crying:
Now I am here, out of options and do not know how to proceed.
Could someone in this forum help me fix the current issue? Please.
In addition, I would like to know a few things:
a. How to install a new OS/ROM on a dead phone? (Healthy hardware with corrupt software)
b. How to format any phone and start a fresh installation?
c. How to read internal memory of a phone which has no ROM or corrupt software?
I am new to all this. Please bear with me.
Thanks,
Sampath

First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.

I am in a bit different situation, let me explain.
Till day before yesterday I was on B570 Rom, then I upgraded over OTA to B831, then Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Installed Latest TWRP Recovery & Installed Latest Xposed Framework, everything went successfull & My phone is running fine.
But the question that arises to me is that none of the Stock Marshmallow update for Honor 6 - H60-L04 has been stable as compared to Lollipop Version & I found B570 super stable & the possibility of myself reverting back to B570 is more. What would be the procedure to revert back to B570.. I think first of all I would have to revert back to stock recovery & then flash the rom package, but how to do this successfully.
Kindly advice.

Thank you for your response. :good:
I have flashed all the files using the fastboot mode, but my phone does not recognise the 3 button command.
It either displays the Honor logo or restarts with a quick vibration. the only command it recognised is 'Vol Down + USB plugged into a computer' (for fastboot).
When flashed with Honor Custom or CWM recovery the phone does not recognise:
1. Vol up + Vol down + Power - for recovery mode
2. Vol down + Power - for hard reset/clear cache partition
When flashed with TWRP recovery the phone only recognises: Power + Vol Up button which boots into recovery mode; however this works only when connected to a power source, the moment I disconnect the power cable the phone switches off.
I tried to install Honor 6 custom ROM EMUI4.0 using TWRP. Need guidance on the below two scenarios.
1. TWRP only recognises .zip files. HONOR custom ROMs are in .app format. What should I do?
2. As a work around, I have downloaded 'Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B820_Channel-Others.zip' from xda forum and tried installing it, but TWRP throws a 'no md5 file found' error.
To address this I tried using WinMD5.exe to get the MD5 code and manually created a .MD5 file, but TWRP did not recognise it. Please guide.

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

@sampathnayak09
Make sure your power button is working correctly. If the files can be flashed successfully, you should be able to boot into recovery.
Honor firmware can only be flashed using three button method. You can search online for making .zip from .app but I am not sure that will solve your problem.

There are rollback packages for going back. I have read those threads on XDA but could not find them again. Will look for them and will send you a link as soon as I found one.

Thanks for the reply.
If I extract the recovery.img from the B831 Rom Package & flash the same using the below command will it give me back my stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And if once I am on Stock Recovery I hope I can again Install a full fresh copy of the B831 Package which will be with Stock Recovery i.e NO TWRP Recovery & root free. And after that when I get the rollback package I can revert back to B570. Pls advice am I going right or is there any possibility that I will brick my phone.

If the phone keeps going off you tried charging for a while? Battery might not be charging due to no OS.

Try out this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...wngrade-eu-h60-l04-indian-b810-t3367031/page1
My honor 6 bricked about a month ago so can not verify this method but to get out of bootloop, always keep a nandroid backup of your device somewhere safe.
You can make a nandroid backup using twrp. Save it to SD card and then copy it to your PC to keep it safe.

Hi,
I did flash the stock recovery, but my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't get into recovery mode.
I am sure it has sufficient battery charge. (Close to 90%).
Is there a way to do a clean install on Android phones? Like the way we install Windows OS on computers. Format hard disks, create partitions and then install a fresh OS?
Thanks

Find attached below the required links for Rollback package & TWRP.
1) https://club.hihonor.com/in/honor6.217/downgrade-link-from-marshmallow-b831-to-lollipop-b570.7935
2) https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor6.html
Regarding TWRP, it lets you install custom roms & other apps which cannot be installed thru stock recovery e.g Xposed Framework. Further TWRP is useful for restoring the phone as it allows to restore the phone by using Nandroid backups taken earlier, provided the Nandroid backups are stored in SD Card. There may be more advantages which I am still trying to find out.

Give it a couple of tries. Users have suggested that it usually gets stuck somewhere but trying for 2,3 times gets the job done.

Let me know which Rom version is your phone running now & which version you are trying to migrate to.
Also if 3 button Force update is not working then you can try the project menu option.
But first let me know what state your phone is currently in.

[RECOVERY] [TWRP] Vivo V3 Max Custom Recovery

[size=+2]TWRP Custom Recovery for Vivo V3 Max[/size]
This is a custom recovery for Vivo V3 Max based on TWRP version 3.0.2-0. It may also work on the standard V3 model but this has not been tested. You can use this recovery to flash custom ROMs and other flashable ZIPs. Full root access is available via an ADB shell.
Important - read before flashing
I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong. If you flash this recovery to your device you will no longer be able to receive OTA updates for Funtouch OS. I will try to provide these as flashable ZIPs when they become available (and if I get time). However, I have also included the original stock recovery image that you can flash back to your device should you wish to re-enable OTA updates afterwards.
DOWNLOAD LINKS
TWRP Custom Recovery
Original recovery image (Chinese)
Original recovery image (Global ROM - 2.7.18 stock)
Flashing Instructions
1. Go to Settings, then More Settings, About Phone, and then tap Software version 10 times. It should now say that you are a developer.
2. Go to Settings, then More Settings, Developer Options. Turn on USB Debugging and Enable OEM Unlock.
3. Connect your phone to your computer. Authorize the USB debugging request on your phone screen.
4. If you haven't already, install ADB/Fastboot drivers. See here for further instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
5. Place the TWRP file from the download links above in your current directory
6. Completely power off your phone.
7. Hold the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons together until you see a black screen with FASTBOOT options.
8. In a command line window (or using Minimal ADB Fastboot if you used the above instructions), run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. If all went well the custom recovery has now been flashed. Use the volume buttons on your phone to select "RECOVERY" from the FASTBOOT options on-screen, then press the power button to confirm. You should now be in recovery mode! Congratulations!
Going back to stock recovery
If you need to return to the stock Vivo recovery image (for OTA updates, maybe, or other purposes) then simply follow the above instructions but change the recovery.img file for the stock recovery image from the download links above.

Can i flash the twrp using odin?

please driver for vivo v3 max phone

Blu Studio M Hd is the same as Gionee P5w Here General tips, Bootloader + Root TWRP

I DONT OWN THE PHONE ANYMORE AND I CANT HELP ANYONE ELSE ANYMORE, IM SORRY...DISCONTINUED!
So here we are:
Big thanks to Hovatek Enigma who was the first person ever to help me!
Also big thanks to AMD developers, Matrix guys very very friendly !! ( i ported lots of roms that they developed)
First:
1) Blu Studio M Hd is just a rebranded Gionee P5W, the stock gionee rom works fine without porting need via SP flashtools
2) blu Studio M Hd is on lollipop and Gionee is on Marshmallow, you can use gionee marshmallow on it!
Second:
To install Twrp on blu studio M Hd and gionee P5w you need to follow these steps:
1) Download and install minimal adb and its drivers:
( I dont own the video, if you have any questions please use search on xda forum, the process is very similar to all other mediatek devices)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d04ZwTbstI4
2) Enable Developer mode and do enable "oem unlock" on it
3) with it enabled do insert usb cable and do open adb minimal and type: adb reboot bootloader ( it will reboot into fastboot mode)
4) Here you do type fastboot oem unlock , it will ask you on the phone if you do really want to unlock it, then say yes pressing vol up
5) Your phone is now unlocked, to check it please type fastboot getvar all and it will show unlocked yes
6) do type fastboot reboot and your phone will reboot and enter into bootloop ( this is normal, now remove the battery)
7) Please do download and open Sp flash tools and " download only" the stock rom! it will reinstall the system and now you ll be unlocked and ready to flash twrp and custom roms. ( Remember, to flash blu phones you have to plug in usb without battery and then when it starts you insert battery again)
8) You can find stock firmware here: http://firmwarefile.com/gionee-p5w You can use it on both phones.
9) If you re using blu studio M Hd you ill find out that after the flash it stands on boot animation for a long time, dont worry the first boot will take more than 10 minutes just wait it
10) Now that you re back into the system, do the same process with adb and do enter into bootloader mode by typing: adb reboot bootloader
11) Now you can just flash twrp, just copy twrp files into the minimal adb folder and type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
12) it will suceed, now you can just boot into twrp by typing fastboot boot recovery.img
Now you re ready to flash any custom rom you want! You can also install super SU after flashing custom roms !
Hope it helps ! You can download twrp here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/twrp-3-0-2-gionee-p5w-walton-primo-gh5-t3432166
Next post will be about custom roms !

I have solved the problem. You can flash any custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader.all you need to do is to download the stock ROM which is android lollipop and flash it using SP flash tools because marshmallow stock ROM does not root easily in my case. so when. You have flash android lollipop ROM you should root it with kingoroot app and then flash twrp recovery using rashr.then you can flash the twrp and custom ROM without unlocking the bootloader..
Hit thanks if it worked
It worked in mine case and I had flashed rr ROM easily (worked fine)
Thanks...

[need help] asus zc520kl [x00hd] any working rom with twrp

Update/Solved:
Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup with people who have the same phone model. You must have TWRP previously installed and bootloader unlocked. Flashing the official firmware via .zip files is not working with twrp, you must restore the folder. After having the files needed, your recovery folder will not appear on the RESTORE section so follow this simple tutorial to make it appear there (https://youtu.be/trlG3ZxwQxI)
This method will bring your phone back to life if you're stuck in TWRP Recovery Mode with "No OS installed". This method is working and it's the only way for you to use your phone again until developers create custom ROM's for this model.
DEVICE INFO:

Hello, I tried your solution. It did not work. I keep getting Error Number 7 when flashing the ROM. Plus I also tried to delete the assert line in the uptader-script of the ROM you gave me the link after learning from a tutorial how to solve Error Number 7 and after that I got another error: Invalid Zip Format. I don't know what do to more, is this ROM link really compatible with my device? I need urgent help.

Thanks for the attention. I already tried tons of ROM's including the official one for this phone. I keep getting Error Number 7. Sometimes when I force an installation editing the uptader-script file it seems everything is working fine, but at the end of the ROM flash process the phone reboots and goes back to TWRP like everything had never happened. I have never seen a successful feedback, just the "Failed" message or a unexpected reboot that goes back to TWRP.
I don't know what do you mean with unlocking bootloader as I have no ROM installed and always I turn ON my phone I go to TWRP automatically. My TWRP version is 3.1.1.

Not working, as I said before, I've already tried to solve this Error. Either 3 things happen: the installation seems to be running good but at some point the device automatically reboots to it's original condition of TWRP (Liniage OS flash and after editing the file to solve Error Number 7 + I get a message saying "Invalid zip format" (Official Asus Firmware flash after editing the file to solve Error Number 7) + I get Error Number 7.

Backup ROM
Hi, I have the same model and I have TWRP as well. I think I can make backup of my ROM an upload it so you can install it on your phone, would that work for you?

Hello @pantarz, yes, give me your backup ROM you have in your phone, it should work on mine. I'm really thankful to see people like this these days. Just need the .zip file for the ROM. Thanks in advance.

Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-4-max/help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup.

Hi @ANDROIDMASTER67, @pantarz I also break my phone ZC520KL ( X00HD ). It shows "no os installed" and "error 7" when I try to install a ROM.
Can you please help me fix my phone? If there is a backup that I can get please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.

I've managed to fix it by doing the following:
Copy the original recovery from a firmware package.
I could find one in the file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474829889, location /Asus_Zenfone_4_Max_ZC520KL_20171225/Firmware/recovery.img
Load default recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery/original-recovery.img
Restart to bootloader
fastboot reboot bootloader
Load flashboot mode
choose the option "update using adb"
ensure that adb can locate devices with
adb devices
load firmware with
adb sideload UL-ASUS_X00HD-WW-14.2016.1805.374-user.zip ( try download from: https://www.beritahuaja.com/2018/11/download-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl.html )
