P10 Lite (WAS-LX1A) – Root / Restoring Stock Firmware \ Unbricking, Latest TWRP - Miscellaneous Android Development

With so many scattered posts around rooting and restoring stock firmware/unbricking, I would really appreciate if someone is able to confirm\clarify below please or provide a summary of general steps:
Restoring Stock from scratch (\unbricking):
With Huawei previous models including P9 Lite, P8 Lite, Honor 5C up to Android 6, I used to restore stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) and force upgrade (dload folder method: usually just the files extracted from update.zip).
Can’t this be done anymore with P10 Lite or even othe models like P9 Lite/Honor 5c Lite once upgraded to Android 7? Some indicates it can be 1 2, whilst others say it does not work anymore. If not, what is the easiest way to do this?
What’s the difference between FullOTA-MF-PV & FullOTA-MF firmware?
update.zip = Main Update File
update_full_NEM-L51_hw_eu.zip = regional update file?
update_data_full_public.zip = ?
All needs to be flashed?
ROOTING for P10 Lite
Where can I get a latest P10 Lite Custom Recovery known to work including restoring? This one one? or this one?
Which method is better – SuperSu OR Magisk?

im using international rom, and flashing chinese rom...
so i think its possible for you too...
as long as you made your backup using twrp or cwm youll be fine....please made a backup first
method used
flash directly from local update
if fail, you must root your phone before you can flash
flash boot.img, recovery.img, system.img , cust.img using fastboot
you should be ok after flashing this
if bricked or cannot boot, reinstall your cwm or twrp, and install your backup
I have the same situation. I made some trials and here are the results;
I was on Chinese version B250. I udated manually to Chinese version B260 and this was successful.
I unlocked my bootloader successfully.
All trials to flash the International version B324 with Lollipop and (EMUI 3.1) have failed. I even tried with a relocked bootloader but still the same. No root or custom recovery; all stock.
Of note that I could successfully flash the International version B142 which is a Kitkat and (EMUI 3.0) but could never update to the succeeding update OTA although it is being downloaded successfully by the Huawei updater.
All flashing was through virusplus Multi-tool
These are my observations. If anyone has a better input regarding fully flashing a Chinese PE-TL10 with an International firmware with working OTA updates later on then please share it.
Thank you

HUAWEI CHINESE VERSION Model: PE-TL10 Product ID: 2014CP4716

Hi i own a HUAWEI honor that i believe is a Chinese version Model: PE-TL10 Product ID: 2014CP4716 with rom version PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B260 .Is there is a custom suitable for my rooted phone?
Thanks
sorry i mean custom rom
Looking for same
Did you find a soloution as i am still looking for the same
it's a Honor 6 + (plus)
This is not a Chinese version but it's the Honor 6 + (honor 6 plus in other countries)
You can rebrand it (change the region).
At this time : Custom Recovery & Root are available
I find 1 custom rom here http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1074633 But not tested by myself.
My solution
I've tried many solutions for rooting my PE TL10 HONOR 6 PLUS,
EMUI 3.1 (5.1 Lolipop )
The only one working with stock recovery : Kingroot apk (not working With PC software use directly the apk !)
:victory::victory: I found a EMUI 3.1 compatible TWRP :victory::victory:
You can find it here : http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1052636
I't working fine !
You need a unlocked bootloader, put your phone on fastboot mode and launch the .Bat ! (you can also take the .IMG file and flash it with your own way).

Rollback EVA-L09/L19, from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1

Hello !
I found on the Romanian Huawei page this package, used to go back from 7.0 Nougat EMUI 5.0 to 6.0 Loli EMUI 4.1.
UPDATE: for both L09 and L19
It contains a pdf with instructions.
Advice from other users: use an older version of Android 6 MM
I am not responsible for any bricks.

Hit " Thanks" if this helped you
INSTRUCTIONS from the pdf file:
HUAWEI
EVA-LXX EMUI5.0+Android7.0 rollback to EMUI4.1+Android 6.0
Operation instruction
The instruction guides user to roll back from Android7.0 to Android 6.0
1) Roll back operation includes twice SD card update,only through intermediate package
EVA-LXXC900B300, like below:
2) Allow roll back to Huawei official stable release.
Precautions:
1. Make sure the current system version on your phone is an official Huawei version based on Android 7.0. If your phone has been updated with a non-official version, the rollback may fail and even cause unexpected problems.
2. Make sure your phone system version has not been unlocked or rooted.
3. Your personal data will be erased during the rollback. Be sure to back up all your important data beforehand.
4. Prepare a micro SD card with available storage space at least 8 GB.
5. Make sure the battery level is higher than 30%.
6. The rollback includes two local ROM flashing procedures, first from Android 7.0 to the intermediate package version and then from the intermediate package version to Android 6.0.
Step 1: Back up data.
Your personal data will be erased during the rollback. Be sure to back up all your important data beforehand.
To back up data to your micro SD card, go to Tools > Backup, touch backup, and follow the onscreen instructions.
Step 2: Update your phone to the intermediate package version.
Obtain the EVA-LXX intermediate package (UPDATE.APP) by visiting the official EMUI website or calling the customer service hotline.
Load the UPDATE.APP package to the dload folder under your micro SD card root directory. If there is no dload folder under the directory, please create one. (Do not load the UPDATE.APP package to the internal storage.)
When the phone is powered off, press and hold the volume up, volume down, and power buttons simultaneously to enter forcible update mode. Release the buttons only after the rollback starts. Do not operate the phone during the rollback.
Step 3: Confirm the intermediate package version.
When the phone is powered on, go to Settings > About phone and check whether the displayed version number contains EVA-LXXC900B300.
Step 4: Update the phone from the intermediate package version to Android 6.0.
Download an older version of Android 6.0 full package (UPDATE.APP) for the EVA-LXX from the EMUI official website. Load the UPDATE.APP package to the dload folder under your micro SD card root directory. (Do not load the UPDATE.APP package to the internal storage.)
When the phone is powered off, press and hold the volume up, volume down, and power buttons simultaneously to enter forcible update mode. Release the buttons only after the rollback starts. Do not operate the phone during the rollback.
Step 5: Confirm the system version and restore data( better not).
When the phone is powered on, go to Settings > About phone and check whether the displayed EMUI version is EMUI 4.1 and Android version is 6.0.
Go to Tools > Backup, locate the desired backup record, and follow the onscreen instructions to restore.
It's everywhere now. Here in Bulgaria too. So hard to go back. Wish HiSuite was better and just connect your phone and install stable version, something like iTunes. I am not so advanced on Android, recently switched from iPhone and really want to test the Nougat on this beautiful phone, but if it's bad I will have to buy SD card and do all this crap just to get to stable os... Ain't worth it.
P.S: What this part means "6. The rollback includes two local ROM flashing procedures, first from Android 7.0 to the intermediate package version and then from the intermediate package version to Android 6.0." What is intermediate package version?
it means that it's a 2 step downgrade.
first you flash the update.app in the zip attached (intermidiate package ).
then you flash your desired version of Android 6.
it's not that difficult. and you can do it from the internal memory also via the 3 button combo method
It worked with my L19C432 that was running L19C432B322. Thanks.
Confirmed that it works on L09C432 to, so it's not just for L19.
I can go back to 6.0 but I can not apply theme how to solve please help
Has anyone tried this with L09c636 or L19c636?

Since it's a C900 cust Rolleback it works on all Cust, C636, C432, C185 ..... etc.... L19 or L09 it's the same.

Wonderful news, thank you!
It doesn't work with me : the rollback of B300 to B182 failed.
EDIT : In fact, it didn't work because I didn't have enough battery...
Trying this now I'm L09 C432, what a ballache!

This worked for me just fine, thanks OP
Still really hate this phone, well done Huawei :clap:

Did you found a solution? I am experiencing the same problem. After downgrading to Android 6 themes don't work. Also i've installed L19C432B180 and when searching for an update its saying its the latest version. I upgraded to Nougat from B182 wich was an OTA update and now i can receive it anymore.
I think Nougat did something to system partion and now after downgrade not everything its working properly.
I'm on L09C432 in UK.. and was considering upgrading..
Is 7.0 N That bad... Ive read its a Leaked version, which usually means Beta... but Ive read a few forums where people are rolling back
Would you recommend staying on B182 for now...
The official beta is quite good, but you can't get in the list anymore. From what i have read, the leaked one is not that ok. I recommend 182 for now

I had a nightmare with up and downgrade last night. I thought i've broken my new phone but i've managed it to get it working again without any problems (themes also do work here).
What have i all done, for the reason someone else have troubles with downgrading.
Tip: Do not try to backup anything, it will most likely will make things even worse. Wipe and flash without later importing backups from different builds.
My phone: P9 (L19) DualSim
New phone, directly unlocked bootloader and removed OEM protection
Installed TWRP 3.0.2.0
Opened recovery and installed directly the BETA image for my L19
Until this point all works fine. BETA image is buggy, keyboard not working and freezes sometimes
Decided to go back to stock
TWRP is not working anymore, stuck in "Your device is booting"
Always running into Huawei eRecovery, where you can do noting. Repair always fails
Downloaded latest stock image for my L19 and tried the here suggested steps
Note: Before doing the "dload" flash you need to flash stockrecovery, as far as i know and other threads suggest it too
First Update.app flash (from the zip file here) worked fine
Second Update.app flash from the stock rom stuck at 5% and closed with an error
Hours of trying different things, all not working (Other TWRP recovery version with encryption support, wipes, resets, etc...)
Last try: Download an older stock image of my L19. Flash successfully done. Phone boots now into stock rom :good:
Locked Bootloader again (i guess it have been done by the stock rom flash)
Now i'm completely back to stock - Which is currently the best available rom for this phone, IMHO.
Conclusion: The most headache i got from downloading the wrong (too new) stock image. Trying an older one have solved my flash problems.

I found the same procedure to work. What really puzzled me was that the flashing of update.app "crashed" at 5%. I also tried all sort of solutions, with only new error messages as result.
The final solution to flash an older image was not exactly obvious
i will update OP. thank you for sharing
I tried 2 versions, still gives me errors. Could someone provide the exact version of the rom used in rollback?

Honor 8 , no way to enter recovery TWRP

Hello, i have a Honor 8 where i had installed TWRP 3.1.1-1 and Resurrection Remix N v5.8.4 . With that rom i was not able to use Usb so i installed on it AOSPA 7.1.2.
Doing that i lost the root (prolly i did something wrong) and i was not able to get it back so i tried to rollback to FRD-L09c432b131 installing first Honor 8_Rollback Package_FRD-L19_from Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 to Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1_C900B300_Italian and after it installing Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_Western Europe . Now my phone is on FRD-L09C432b131 and it is working without problem but i can't find a way to update the firmware with original roms (tried multiple time with different packages without luck) or to install again Resurrection Remix N v5.8.4 because i'm not able to boot in TWRP even if the installation process of the recovery doesn't give error.
To be sure i also used the Unbrick function of Multi - tool extracting the required file with Huawei Update Extractor from the Update.app file of Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_Western Europe but still i can't find a way to get back to TWRP recovery or to install any original firmware update.
If anyone have any idea about why i would be happy to get some help

Huawei G play mini

Hello,
I have a huawei f play mini bought in EU chc-u01 , it had android 4.4.2 i updated it to 5.1 trough dload method on ext card.
it change my model name to chm-u01 and balong310 , i search and its the rom of honor 4c and iit's compatible.
i wanted to upgrade it to android 7 installing lineageos.
i flash TWRP and wipe out everything including the os itself idk how , what's strange is i can't get any rom instalatiion whatsoever now and i dont know why
it always fails with error 7 (wich why already tried to remove asserts line on update-script file oon the rom and still cant install) it gives a error in update-script evev after edit.
idk what to do does some kind soul can help me ? thanks
Error 7 is mostly the case when you're trying to flash a ROM that was not built for your device, you can forcibly flash it by removing the asserts line.
However, there's another case where it can show up. It's when the code has a mistake, or the ROM is LITERALLY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE.
The ROM has a line commanding an extraction of a compressed file, the file I corrupted, or there's a mistake in the code. It can cause error 7.
The ROM is trying to extract a file to a block device, but it fails, because that block device is not compatible with the file, or too small to absorb the file. For an example, 2014's low-end Samsung phones had a maximum size of 8 MBs (maybe 12?) for the kernel, so trying to flash another device's ROM will not complete successfully, because the boot.img cannot be extracted/flashed.
You need to update your bootloader.
You may have to use another recovery version with a stable tag.
Your /system filesystem is probably messed up, you need to format it to its default EXT4 files filesystem.
Flash stock ROM.
Use a PC tool to flash ROMs.
Helllo and thanks for your quick the answer.
i also tried with sp flash tool, but i did not suceed. i cant find a working stock also .
