bricked Huawei gr5 2017 recovery - General Questions and Answers

Hi all
I have a Huawei gr5 2017 that I updated it to EMUI 5.0 some time ago I unlocked the bootloader without problems I flashed twrp recovery and installed SuperSU.zip and everything was good but by accident I started installing another SuperSU.zip file so the phone couldn't boot . ?
I tried to install the stock firmware using the dload method but it didn't work so I tried installing the EMUI 5.0 firmware , also didn't work , so I unzipped the update.app file of the stock firmware to flash it manually but I couldn't flash anything other than RECOVERY.img and BOOT.img so I did the same with the EMUI 5.0 update firmware and managed to flash RECOVERY.img , BOOT.img and SYSTEM.img successfully . ?
When I rebooted the device it booted normally but I can't use the camera , the developer settings , or watch YouTube videos using the app and when using browser to watch a video or music app , I can't hear anything .?
Appreciate any advice or help
Thanks in advance ?

Also I installed twrp recovery as recovery2 so can I install a twrp backup after a similar/same device with EMUI 5.0 update. ??????
Or should I install a custom Rom if possible ????????

Download the Lollipop UPDATE.APP and extract the Recovery with Huawei Extractor.
Flash the Recovery via Fastboot
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
Or you can use this tool in order to flash the original recovery then re-install the stock firmware using dload folder and update app
Thank you guys i did it

Need Clockworkmod Recovery of Honor 6 (H60-L04) for Marshmallow 6.0 EMUI 4.0..(B831)

Hello Guys...
My phone model is Honor 6 H60-L04 & I'm currently running on Marshmallow 6.0 EMUI 4.0 (B831) Rom. with ROOT and TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed. Bootloader unlocked.
I have backed up my kitkat rom (B115) with clockworkmod recovery . and updated to marshmallow.
so now I want my phone revert back from marshmallow to kitkat. I'm am stuck at MM now.
for that I have tried this things but nothing work
1) downloaded stock ROM from official site & flashed via Stock Recovery. (with local update method & three button method.... even with Internal Storage and micro SD card ) but stucked at 36 % . Also tried Downgrade Pack.
2) tried to flash stock recovery.img and system.img files (extracted by Huawei update extractor) via fastboot... but system partition is I think on read-only mode.so not working.
3)bcoz I have CWM backup of kitkat ROM and currently running on TWRP.... tried to search for converting CWM backup to TWRP backup. but not possible
4) I've searched for CWM recovery for MM in this VirusPlus thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57270646&postcount=4
but there is not CWM for MM EMUI 4.0
so If someone have one of the following thing, plz share it to me
1. clockworkmod recovery for marshmallow for my model.
2. TWRP backup of stock kitkat rom would work for me.
Thanks in advance....
I think in the TWRP there is a TWRP version that works with EMUI 4. It's not TWRP 3, but it should work anyway.

I want clockworkmod for EMUI 4.0 to restore my backup of kitkat rom which I previously backed up with clockworkmod recovery.
I can't restore my CWM kitkat rom backup by TWRP recovery.
Alternative idea is
--someone share kitkat stock rom backup folder which is backed up by TWRP recovery. so with use of that I can revert back from marshmallow to kitkat.
Revert back to Lollipop build and try flashing stock KitKat ROM again via fastboot. Use the Unbrick option in Multitool.
there is now way to do that...you can't restore a backup of your KitKat rom from MM you have to downgrade first...if you restore the backup your phone will break...
first of all...you have to download the right downgrade package from EMUI 4.0 TO EMUI 3.1 and then install any build from lollipop... and then you have to install the right downgrade package from emui 3.1 to 3.0 and then install emui 3.0 and then restore the backup
or flash b115 via fastboot after doing all the above mentioned one by one

Thanks for point out the chance of brick phone by restoring kitkat CWM backup on Marshmallow rom. u saved me from brick.
I thought that I can change between kitkat,Lollipop, Marshmallow Roms from one to another by TWRP or CWM recovery. lol
As you mentioned, I've tried to flash Downgrade pack via stock recovery but its says "Software update failed" ( at 5% or 36%). I have tried local update method, all three button method and dial-pad method. Also put package with Internal storage and Micro sdcard. Tried with B804,B822 and B831. but no luck
I know that for downgrade package I have to be on fully stock rom .so I unrooted it. then try to flash but failed.
then I flashed system.img and cust.img (which is extracted by huawei update extractor) via fastboot on pc. On cmd it was successfully flashed. but when I saw system files with Root Explorer it didn't change. (means system files was still old which has su bianry ). so I think my system partition is read-only mode by default.
I can only mount it R/W in TWRP.
Any idea why Downgrade package failed in stock recovery ? (at 5% or 36%)

I previously tried to manually flash system.img partition via fastboot on pc.
on cmd it was successfully flashed. but on file manager on phone I saw no change in system files.
so when I try to flash UPDATE.APP in stock recovery it failed on 5% or 36% .
I think my system partition is on read-only mode by default. I can change it to R/W only in TWRP recovery.
Thanks bro . I will try now that Unbrick option in Virus plus tool. can I flash direct kitkat rom without going to lollipop ?
can any one upload H60-L04 any stock marshmallow firmware TWRP backup. I did not backup before flashing kangvip and I am not able to install update.app even after installing system, boot, cust and recovery of B831

Yes it fails. Maybe due to some more modifications to other partitions.

Upgrading Honor 4C to Marshmallow

Hi Currently I am having Honor 4c with Kitkat 4.4.2 (V100R001C636B160) version I wanted to Upgrade my android version to Marshmallow(CHM-U01C432B560) or any other custom ROM. I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.
Hi @keikari thanks for the reply, that is the case where I am facing the problem Neither I can install Twrp 3.0.1-0 (r1,2,3,4) variants nor lollipop or marshmallow update .I am struck with stock Rom tried more than 15 to 20 times . Can you provide any alternative solutions.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.

Help Installing Stock Rom

I have rooted honor 8.I thought of updating my honor 8 with full ota update from huawei finder.I wiped everything using twrp (system,data..etc).I tried to install the rom update.zip file.It showed some error.I tried dload method with another sock rom.It also failed.I flashed the stock recovery via fastboot.I lost fastboot.I have only stock recovery.I cannot go to fastboot.What to do?
You need stock boot.img and recovery.img to flash an update.

[ALE-L21] Software install failed when I want to install EMUI 3.1 as dload

Hello everyone!
I am newbie there so If I did something wrong then I am sorry.
I have a big problem so I so need your help (in sos?).
I am trying install back EMUI 3.1 cause 3.1 was faster and power saver than 4.0.3 so I would to install back 3.1.
I found a zip file which is contain update.app. It has been downloaded from huawei's site (c1.huawei.com). So maybe it is an offical package
I am trying install EMUI 3.1 since yesterday.. But I always got an error (Software install failed). If I install an rollback android 6 to 5 then my recovery is dies. I did everything I saw on xda and other forums.. My phone is unrooted, bootloader is unlocked everything.. I so need EMUI 3.1. :crying: Please a helpful person.
Thanks,
Balázs.
Solved
I hopefully solved the problem. Solution: Extract img files from .UPDATE app and flash it with fastboot.
You need flash boot recovery system and cui (or what is that) img with fastboot.
Now my problem is I do not have IMEI on 3.1 but on custom 4.0.3 rom I have that. So my SIM card is not reading I can't connect to network. Anyone can help me in SOS?
