Problem to flash a new Rom - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I "encourtered" a problem with a new update.
I bought an Asian Huawei Mate 8 with the C636B152 version.
Next, I use a C900B320 version to flash this Huawei. Currently it works perfectly.
But now, I have a zip file ROM C432B320 to flash it and I try to update.
For that I use the 3 buttons method.
I extract the zip file in a dload folder on the SD card.
I use 3 buttons and the smartphone restart.
It seem the update is perfectly but, after reboot my huawei is always with the C900B320 version
I launch TWRP and it say : "Device not rooted". Is this the problem ?
What should I do to resolve this ?
Thank you very much to help me.
Regards.

[STOCK ROM][LB] Huawei Ascend P2 - B021

I've finally managed to find another copy of the stock Ascend P2 firmware [P2-6011V100R001C00B021]
Flashing is easy, just copy the dload folder to the root of your internal memory and use the system update app to apply a local update.
The ROM can be rooted using eRoot.
More tweaks and other mods for this rom will follow soon.
Downloads:
P2-6011V100R001C00B021
eroot v1.3.3
Thank you Angelbob! I can finally have the B021 update
Very cool I assume I can flash it even if I've removed some of the stock Apks from my current rom?
By the way there's a p2tools apk on the server- Whats it for?
Mine fails to update, after the system reboots in the Android recovery system.
Fails to mount E: /SDcard. Runs through the "checking module" stuff, and after Checking module Cust it writes Huawei SD card update fail..
and continues
cust copying files...
copy cust files successed!
and then the huge
FAIL.
I'm probably doing something wrong but what could it be?
Try a factory reset first
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
How well does this ROM work?
EDIT: I also cannot get this ROM installed.
Could it be because I am already running BO25?
I tried factory resetting as you suggested to the other person, it made no difference.
Tried factory reset also, made no difference
Mine updated fine.
I thought this would remove the silly operator logo that comes up when i turn on my phone and remove all the apps installed by the operator, but it's all still there.
Is this just a 'kernel' update or am i missing something here?
Thanks.

You ought to try this method to downgrade your ROM.
1) your P2 must have root access;
2) find in the "default.prop" file (you'll find it in the "/" directory) and change "B025" to "B020" for example:
ro.confg.hw_bootversion=P2-6011V100R001C00B025...
3) find in the "build.prop" file and change all "B025" to "B020" for example:
ro.confg.hw_systemversion=P2-6011V100R001C00B025_SYSTEM
ro.build.display.id=P2-6011V100R001C00B025
ro.build.version.incremental=C00B025
ro.build.description=P2-6011-user 4.1.2 HuaweiP2-6011 C00B025 ota-rel-keys,
ro.build.fingerprint=Huawei/hwp2-6011:4.1.2/HuaweiP2/C00B025
ro.product.CustDVersion=B025 (here can be any other values, these are only for example).
Having changed all the above-mentioned values, you will be able to downgrade your B025 ROM to B021. Just remember, that a ROM version in the edited "default.prop" and "build.prop" must be lower than a ROM version which you want to downgrade to.
Good luck!

you can only try, but I think it should work, cause it´s an real AL10 rom for the real AL10.. or did you change something in the oeminfo so that it is recognized as L09?

Can I up this ROM for EVA-L19 ?? thanks

Dload always with external sd card
Do not try to use it with the internal
Search for the rollback package
Just simply download your device last firmware and extract the following with Huawei update extrator
1.boot .img
2.cust.img
3.recovery.img
4.system.img
5.userdata.img
Then boot your device into fastboot ,open adb command then flash
1.fastboot flash boot boot.img
2.fastboot flash cust cust.img
3.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.fastboot flash system system.img
5.fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Then 6. fastboot reboot
your device will go on reboot .
That's it back to normal

So, i managed to flash nougat by this links
http://www.stechguide.com/honor-8-b360-nougat-update/
1. Update.zip
2. Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
putting the various files in the dload folder.
The first update.zip succedeed; but rebooting the system and making first configuration, i see that the os lacks on many apps (no keyboard!).
Trying to update with Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip i get incompatible firmware.
So my idea was to flash the original stock rom (android 6); i downloaded it on
http://www.stechguide.com/honor-8-b360-nougat-update/
and put everything in the dload folder.
But this time erecovery says to me "software installation failed, incompatibility with current version"
Any clue?
Thanks again

Need stock recovery image: MHA-L29C185

My phone is dead in water.. I have TWRP that complains that the system partition is read only,
I have erecovery that cannot says "getting package info failed" (dies afer "getting package info from server"), and manual downloading of image 138 putting it in dload folder of SDCARD did not go -- it complained that it was not the right version I think..
What can I do now? I thought that I ought to restore the recovery partition, but I can't seem to find it anywhere..
I'm going nuts here
HELP!!
PS: I have been downloading the firmwares from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha , they have two sets: Do I need the OTA or the FULL version to be put into SDCARD's "dload" folder?
You need the FULL version. OTA means "over the air update", and is meant to be applied from a specific version to bring you to a newer version without having to download everything.

well this is a long shot,try to unlock ur BL again.after that try to boot into twrp.and for now only L29C636 n AL00C00 have offline update files that can be flash thru dload folder.
edit-if you need stock recovery actually u can downlaod the full fw of your build and extract update.app using huawei extractor and flash the recovery.img thru twrp or adb
If you can, try firmware finder. For that to work your phone must boot. Or you can go with FunkyHuawei, but that costs money to use.
Both requires stock recovery to install though. And as @eddmecha says, only 2 builds are offline installable.
The system being read only in TWRP is normal as its added as RO in fstab. And if you have dm-verity enabled its no point in installing anything to /system.

Thank you very much; however, there is a problem with the huawei extractor: The extractor works and creates unknown_nn.img files, and there is another script, HuaweiFinder or something that renames them by guessing their contents. I have the "unknown" files, but that renaming script no longer works -- (it dies with FINDSTR errors).
So I can't find the recovery.. perhaps someone could do a "strings recovery.img" and tell me what I suppose to see in there, so I can do the same search amongs my unknown_nn.img files.. Many thanks! -t

I am right now trying to do that -- to fix the recovery to stock, so that eRecovery will let me recover anything!
But can't find it amongst the extracted "unknown_file.nn" files ..

UPDATE: After removing TWRP (with tears in my eyes) with:
sudo fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
I was able to get my phone back.. It works now!

Updating your P20 Pro (This can be used to restore a bricked P20 Pro)

My daily driver is AOSCP (CypherOS project) P20 pro ROM, but sometimes I flip back to stock every time there is a new Huawei P20 Pro update. Recently they released (9.0.0.213) so I removed the custom ROM and installed stock (9.0.0.213) without issues, just to see how it feels, whats new and such then jump back to custom. These steps helped me when I bricked my phone.
(Bootloader must be unlocked)
- Use at your own risk.
To jump to stock.
1) Go HERE and type in your phone model and click FIND MODEL button. Then click Filelist, copy and paste the first two links to your browser, this will download the main packages.
2) Extract the update.app file from the Update.zip file you just downloaded.
3) Use EMUI extractor application to extract the image files from the Update.app file.
4) Download Re-Flash, place all the images in the Re-Flash folder and flash as many images as you can. (This step simply puts your phone in enough working order for the update to complete)
Open the "cmd-here" file and start flashing:
Example:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery_vbmeta.img recovery_vbmeta.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
(Keep going - some will flash others won't)
5) type: Fastboot reboot, quickly unplug your phone and hold the volume up button, this will boot into EMUI recovery, now format data, format cache.
6) Now the two main packages you downloaded in step one, place those zip files in the folder called ZIPS-HERE, located in the Re-flash folder. Rename update_full_CLT-L29_hw_eu to update_all_hw
7) In the cmd-here window, type flash.bat
follow the steps.
Note:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if the update fails you'll need a userdata.img, this image file isn't in most update.zip files. You can find it here.
Redo the steps again except this would be the last thing to do in step 4.
- fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Okay, so I have CLT-L09C782, I updated it to 9.0.0.168 using the FunkyHuawei service. I opened Firmware Finder a while ago and I have seen some new versions of firmware there. Can I manually update from there?

I tried Firmware finder in the past, hadn't had any real luck with it whereas other have. So I really can't comment on it.
