Tried everything...ERecovery gives me the "getting package failed" (and that was with the stock recovery installed), trying to install a firmware through the HOLD VOLUME+ AND VOLUME- while booting gives me "Software install failed: The Update package does not exist"...I'm running TWRP currently, and no ROM at all is installed...Ideas?
I have a copy of stock ROM TWRP backup. I'll see if I can upload it when I get off today. I think it is update B131 on Stock EMUI 4.1.

Try pushing this to your device. Should restore just system. Let me know if it works for you. You'll need to unzip it after you download it.

Sorry for the noob question, but should I throw this in the TWRP backups folder, push it using ADB or flash it using TWRP?

Try to push it to your TWRP file path. It's different for each person, but looks like it's /sdcard/TWRP/Backups/*serial number here*/

No luck.
I have a ROM installed (RevolutionRemix), but I want to go back to stock, with no seemingly possible ways to do so. Any ideas?

Find an older ROM and try this method as your last... This one definitely works, but you need to do OTA from beginning.

Glad to help. Better keep a lateset ROM zip you can find at hand, you never know what time you will need it.
So I've got my phone into a useless bootloop.
I unlocked and rooted without much issue except that I lost Google Play Services somehow during the process. I tried a factory wipe from TWRP to see if that made a difference but I think that wiped system.
I've tried the dload method with updates but nothing has worked so far - they all fail at 5%, one got to 33% and failed.
I've tried flashing custom roms, but I don't think there's a system to flash them to.
I've tried the erecovery, obviously that does nothing.
I've tried extracting the update.app and flashing boot, system and recovery, boot flashes but system doesn't, no matter what update I use. I don't want to lose TWRP because at the moment that's too valuable to me.
I need help. I'm out of ideas. I don't have a clue what to try next. I can't use FunkyHuawei.
Edit: I should have mentioned, my model is MHA-L09

how did you get back to stock recovery? I'm on the same boat; can't do anything.. Mine is L29C185B138 if that makes a difference..
I tok a canse and downloaded a stock rom for the mate 8 and used Huawei update extractor tool to get the recovery file.
Used adb to push the file to the phone and it worked fine.
It was a gamble but I was completely stuck to and didn't now what else to try.

I did factory reset in TWRP, but modifications to /system were enabled so my guess is I wiped /system.
I did format data afterwards, with/system modification off.
I tried extracting /system from update.app with the Huawei Extractor program but fastboot won't load system.img for whatever reason.

Ah, Factory reset. Yeah that apparently you shouldn't do. I don't know why as it's only supposed to wipe data and cache, but it seems to wipe more stuff as well.
What's your full model and build? MHA-L09CxxByy
Also:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70781892&postcount=4
I guess you could try the SHIELD ROM under custom roms, that should at least get you back into your phone.
If not your only option is Funky or wait til we get more offline dload roms. Or rebrand and install one of the 2 existing offline dloads.

If you did a backup in twrp you could try flashing that to boot up the phone, you may also need to flash the public and hw-data zips for your firmware version as well, then you could update in phone settings and factory reset in stock recovery to get everything working.
You could also try to use the dload method with the C636 offline firmware to get your phone to boot up. Then use firmware finder to install L09C432B126 for your phone. Then factory reset in stock recovery. Then use the update in phone settings to update to the latest B138 and then B156 for L09C432. This is what I had to do once when in a boot loop. Then you can unlock bootloader, flash twrp, format data, flash decrypted L09C432B156 boot.img, flash superuser, and flash public and hw-data zips for L09C432B156 to get everything working

If you're interesting...
Data partition has three things which must not be cleared.
/data/cust - symlink to /cust/hw/your_customization
/data/custom.bin - text config with your_customization
/data/product.bin - text config with model name
When you doing factory reset in TWRP, it is deleting all above. But without this info, phone will not boot up.

I have a rooted, unlocked twrp system on android 7.0 EUMI 5.0 (BLN-L21,Honor 6x)
already tried to flash stock recovery, remove magisk(root), busybox but I still can't update the system.

You can do via dload only. Earlier i uswd to update just by flashing the stock recovery but recently on 6X this messed up badly may be volte and hence update failed and then it gave me to download the full firmware with prompt as your data partition is messed up amd needs to be fixed and after downloading the fill OTA update, got success. But then proceeded with debranding the next night

Hey brother, i tried many times to update from B360 to B365 (not full package, only 547MB) reflashing stock B360 recovery, but i always receive errors while recovery is verifying the package. I tried even dload method with .zip archives but i always achieve a failure and it is just boooooring :silly: You know other methods to try? Like adb or terminal emulator commands to update, or else... I cannot figure out how to correctly update my device. I have both B365 packages, FULL or partial OTA update downloaded. Thanks in advance

Cant believe you are facing issues now who helps every new user.
Nope bro. I still recommend to use dload only to flash full firmware. It should be full firmware and not the 547 MB.
Just to be in stock and use one of the app today, I relocked bootloader but then got the prompt as my data partition is damaged and need format. I allowed and then it was only erecovery and bootloader.
Then i unlocked and it went straight to twrp. And from there reboot to system works fine. I have the files and once really needed i will dload but problem with stock is that it doesn't have in-built call recording.
Edit-What is exact firmware BLN-L21CXYZB365?

Well let's say that looks like it's my turn now; Huawei mechanisms are much complicated sometimes, a little detail can let you puzzle an hour like and maybe it's only a joke. My previous device was a Samsung, so except common Android related functions EMUI is a new world for me. Only full firmware will work so, ok. Do i have to reinstall every app, or modify again my whole settings menu if i update using the full firmware package, i suppose..? What do you mean with "use one of the app today"? I didn't relocked bootloader because i thought that stock recovery could be enough. Overall, the risk to encounter an error like yours would be a bore, generally. Which files are you referring to, update files? My full build number is BLN-L21C432B360, I'm trying to update to B365.
However if you need call recording function (me too), there's a working method posted by an user in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/themes/callrecord-t3650864 that enables official call recording function from EMUI, check it. I followed this months ago on my BLN-L21, who had no call record at all by default in my firmware, and it flawlessly worked. I recommend it to you.

I was using Tez app from play store but it didnt work may be because i am rooted with unlocked bootloader and need to bypass the safety check.
For call recording, I am already usimg a zip since debranding and works fine. I have Posted in 5C repository. But we need to be rooted for this with custom recovery.
If you are rooted then can take twrp backup and restore apps if on stock and non rooted then hisuite.
As far as i have tested on my 5c, dload won't wipe data but still i would recommend to have full backup brother.

Surely I'll take a backup pal, i already got burned time ago and now i never do something without doing a nandroid backup bfore Thanks for the link, but i already have the FULL package downloaded OTA stored on my PC, so as suggested even by another user today I'll try again dload method but with full package other than partial one, it shouldn't erase my data and even if it should, I'll have a system image.
Only one thing now; in the folder where OTA was saved on my phone, as habit i found 3 packages; update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip. In this case, in dload folder on my phone i have to extract all the zips or only the main update.zip and leave the other two zipped?

Thanks for the tip brother!
So this evening i tried to use only the extracted files from the main update.zip in dload folder; then, via ProjectMenu, i choose software upgrade and loaded the update after reflashing stock recovery for B360, that i took from your repository thread, since that time ago i didn't made a copy of my stock recovery before flashing TWRP. What i obtained was a soft-brick, i really don't know why on earth because usually it just fails at 5% while verifying the package and stop, it reboots to system... so i flashed again TWRP from fastboot and now i'm restoring my backup made today.
Crap, Huawei just CAN'T make things like updating OTA such difficult! I uninstalled Magisk before doing that, but i think that it fails because i miss a clean stock boot.img. Anyway WTF all these steps for an OTA is foolish.
I provided a guide how I managed to update my rooted device and keep all my stuff, settings and apps and reroot.
Just take a look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...rootet-h6x-t3684758/post74102863#post74102863
I already did two successful updates with this method.

Sorry to hear you that bro.
I myself flashed the same firmware yesterday to test this without backup (hisuite backup taken on 7th). I did via dload the same firmware and it was successful without any data loss, but yeah, I lost root, call recording feature that I flashed 20 days back.
I was planning to return to full stock because I know OTA will mess up if received on this state.
Not sure what went wrong buddy with your case. If it is due to any of the file in repository, I apologise for it.
it's a pretty long story but currently my system partition is wiped after it soft bricked, i also couldn't reflash stock roms with twrp so i tried to extract the recovery.img from the stock rom and flashing it over twrp to get the original recovery mode back to flash the update but for some reason it didn't work.
so now i can only boot into EMUI which keeps telling 'getting package info failed' meaning i can't update through it. i'm also able to reach the 'fastboot&rescue mode' screen but i know nothing about adb and even tho i watched 2-3 tutorial videos i couldn't really get it to work. all videos wanted me to boot up the phone and enable usb debugging which i can't. my phone was rooted before and i'm positive i've enabled it in the past but i'm not sure if it's still enabled or not, either way i'm not able to get it working.
is this salvageable?
i'd really appreciate some help if possible, thnx
nope. but even when i had twrp it wouldnt let me flash update.zip's
i still have fastboot screen so my guess is that i have to run it through adb, which i don't know how to do

but how do i flash marshmallow with twrp? and what marshmallow file are you talking about, the one i mentioned above?
because i tried flashing these update.zip's with twrp before but it wouldn't let me.
i'm currently packaging the update.app files into a zip and moving it to the sdcard, that's the only way i can think of to flash these update files with twrp.
since it didn't work last time, i have my doubts but i'll give it a try

yes. can't remember how to double check but way back when i downloaded these update files i was extremely careful to download the correct files.
and they worked and been working since they were the newest version, so i guess that has to be my model.

yea now it told me corrupt zip, last time i tried i got some other error, think it was some error about writing to system partition.

i spent a few hours yesterday trying to find zipped update files ready for flashing in twrp, like the ones you linked.
do i have to do a factory reset after that? i haven't tried everything yet but my phone looks and works as if it never even stopped working in the first place.
i'm just happy i got all my files, numbers, photos etc back...
thank you so much once again
EDIT: yea sorry for the delayed response, i had to run an errand
Wow another one rommoco05 :highfive:
Add the fixed tag to the thread OP. Enjoy the device
You both are awesome ???

i'm trying to backup everything i need before doing a factory reset and i have a problem.
first time booting up i get the contact names on call logs for a few seconds and then they disappear because the contacts are gone. if i restore my data partition in twrp and boot up the system again i get the exact same thing. i'm guessing the contacts are saved at least temporarily somewhere on the data partition, is it possible to extract them somehow? i don't care if i have to write them down one by one from a .log, i got some important numbers that are worth the hassle for me

If you synced the contacts already then you can from google contacts.
I know this is completely backwards, but i found a twrp backup i did on my broken systems partition before i tried anything else. Maybe if i can undo what soft-bricked my phone i can get them back.
I installed/flashed a magisk module for xposed and after that i wasnt able to boot the system any longer. Is it possible to somehow uninstall this module and get the phone to boot again? Or is the only solution to flash a new stock rom?
Edit: havent synced with google in a while

Flash the backup of boot files

the backup of the boot partition made no difference. even after flashing the new rom and the boot after nothing changed.
but i just solved it, i found a magisk uninstaller and after flashing that the phone booted up with all contacts, photos, apps+data intact.
when i first posted here i had wiped the systems partition and didn't know i still had a backup hidden away in a folder, so i'm extremely grateful for all your help and patience.
i still think i'm gonna update to nougat and i'm using hisuite that came with the phone, do you recommend any other backup application? do you know if app backups work if i update to nougat from marshmallow?

For apps backup just download from playstore , because some apps are compitable with mm and some are nougat .so better to download again from playstore after updating to nougat.

Bro can you make a guide how to backup and restore in Huawei.
Guys. I have tried and failed. Which exact zip do I need? Because the fullOtamf with pv fails. Which twrp do i need exactly? Because the openkirin one says error.
I flashed official arise viper system and it flashed but didn't install anything, further more my camera isn't working at all maybe because of selinux permissive I think, but I changed that to endorcing also, no luck, so I just need to dirty flash stock rom to fix it.
I'm a newbie to Huawei phones so preferably links of what twrp n file version u guys use would be highly appreciated.
It's hard to believe none of the people who viewed the post have ever flashed a stock rom via twrp. No one?
I really need some help here guys. Any advice is appreciated.
If you really need to flash it via twrp you need to download huawei update extractor and use it to create a flashable zip but that takes really long and one small mistake will ruin the firmware or your phone so i would recommend you to flash the stock recovery, update and then root, put twrp back etc.

Ok so somehow pushing volume up at boot gets me into "Huawei E-recovrry" and it says 3 things only 1) download latest software and recovery, 2) restart 3) shutdown. If I click first option it says Note: user data will be wiped after recovery install :/
Is this the one ur talking about? Can I do it without data wipe in anyway?

You could try pressing the "download latest software and recovery" button but i dont think it will work. I would recommend you to flash the stock recovery via adb and/or fastboot (create backups of course) and then update via team mt's firmware finder. After its done, unlock the phone again and root it. I dont know if it will wipe data because you have twrp on your phone. (I dont think it will wipe data but i still recommend you to make backups) NEVER EXTRACT THE UPDATE.APP AND TRY TO INSTALL THE IMAGES. I DID IT AND I GOT IN ERROR MODE.

Damn! I can't believe it's such a complicated process! I miss my Nexus now lol, it was such a breeze to flash stuff on it..
So basically there's no "dirty flashing" the stock rom... I have to install the whole firmware like it's new and then do the entire process of unlocking bootloader(which wipes everything), rooting, getting twrp, n start as new since a backup flash via twrp of my current system after that would again reinstall the incompatible viper mod that has defected my camera right now... Sigh.
I wish Huawei made it easier for people to do these things for people who want to.
Thanks for all the help! :good: I really wish there was a better way than having to start as new.

Dload doesn't clear data at all. But those files should be flashed via dload but issue is when you unlock bootloader, it will reset again.
You can flash certain files via twrp but that is data zip and not main zip file. Let me know the version you want and will try my best to help buddy.
Please give Current build and model number and new build number you are trying.
You can just restore data and it will not restore your viper mod as that is going to system partition as you flashed zip. So restoring only data will not bring back the viper mod.

Data zip is huawei apps etc? Or u mean my own backup data?
But Thanks alottt bro!
Model BLN-L21
Build C185-B361
I was just trying to flash same system again so that viper will be erased
I didnt try any new build yet because I'm really new to all these softwares like FWfinder and the other ones, I downloaded them but couldn't understand much sadly.
so I just did ur dload method for b361 since that is the only one I found with fullota-mf-pv version.
Is there any new build for dload available? Because I don't know how to update :/ I'm sorry for all the noob requests, I used to be such a pro at nexus lol

Let me check this mate for you. Will take sometime as will be occupied most of the time today so may or may not able to provide. You can install main zip that will remove viper but it will relock bootloader so unlocking it will erase data. Best way i think of is-
Do full twrp backup
Copy the twrp to sd card or pc
Use dload
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp
Root it
Restore backup only for data and it will not install viper.
Or
Do titanium backup of all the user app and data.
Copy to pc or sd card.
Use dload
Unlock bootloader, twrp and root.
Boot and restore titanium backup
I know these are tedious task but want to have your data intact while without messing up with the phone.
Let me know in case you need files to flash or can search..good luck.

I think that might work! Thanks so much for the tips!! I will try it in few days since I have my MBBS exam on Monday so after that I'll do it, but thanks alot for ur advice!
I know you're busy, I really respect that, but Just one last thing, can u tell me which is the latest version of nougat I can use with dload for my model? Can I use B374 fullota-mf? But there is no pv for that version so just want to confirm.
