Use the dload method to flash an EMUI 5.X ROM, if it doesn't accept the upgrade use the rollback package and then flash an EMUI 4.X ROM, then update via OTA updates

A more convenient way would be to flash the stock recovery that match with your current rom and then relock your bootloader with fastboot command

[Q] Can you get root without custom recovery so that you can update with OTAs?

I followed this guide to get root on 5.0.1, but I didn't realize it makes updating a pain. I saw that this user's signature says he's running stock root, but I haven't been able to find a guide for doing so on Lollipop, only using towelroot on KitKat. The only thing I use the recovery for is getting root, so I don't care about keeping CWM if there's another way. Is there some way I can keep root and also use OTA updates?
If you are rooted and have a custom recovery, don't download the OTA within the tablet. Follow this thread, download desired FULL OTA Zip (WiFi or LTE) and latest SuperSu.zip. Flash OTA (≈700MB ) and then SuperSu. Won't loose custom recovery or root.

Yup! That's how I plan to do it for this update, but that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid doing in the future.

You won't be able to successfully flash the UPDATE .zip file (~94MB) on a rooted (read: modified) Lollipop version.
Recovery version is irrelevant.
You need the FULL 2.2 rom (already found above , ~731MB), flash it in your current custom recovery and re-root by flashing SuperSU again.

From that, I understand that even if you have stock recovery, by being rooted, OTA wont work on you.
Just for the fact of being rooted.

How to upgrade???

Can't understand how Huawei phones work on this department...
I have an NXT-L29 model. It has now C432 B170. I have unlocked bootloader (have the code saved) and after that left it stock just flashed TWRP and then rooted it. Now I was thinking of going to B320 and doing the same (TWRP,Root).
1) I downloaded NXT-L29C432B320 stock
2) unzipped it.
3) In memory card made folder dload and put update.app in.
4) Did the dialer code and selected upgrade from SD.
5) Nothing happens. Just enters TWRP.
Also tried to hard reset with Hisuite but it says my model isn't supported. What are the correct steps?? I just want B320 and root.
Tried stock recovery already?
Is there stock recovery? I have installed TWRP. How to enter stock?

Extact the RECOVERY.img from UPDATE.APP with Huawei Extractor and flash the Recovery via Fastboot,install the B320.
---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
But i go back from B320 to B180.B180 is better Batterylife and better stable.B320 had many Bugs wrong location and read in Forum.Newest for you is B321.
Extracted it.. I'm almost ready to start. Newest in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate-8-stock-firmware-official-t3391727 is B320. Am I missing something?

need help updating the idol 3(twrp installed and rooted)

ok i just saw that the offical marshmellow update had been released and wanted to upgrade.
i have the cricket 5.5" idol 3
my phone is rooted and has twrp installed would like info on how to get the update or a stock rom for the phone with marshmellow.
i am new to the upgrading after root and dont know if hiding root is enough or if i need to uninstall the su binary.
also not sure if the updated phone is rooted in the same way if i have to uninstall the su binary.
Hi,
You can reflash stock recovery and unrooot, then upgrade trough the Alcatel Update app.
Or you can flash stock modded rom UE 4 by murigny64. You'll get the mm stock rom without losing recovery. Have a look to it thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3435577
Is there a tutorial link for flashing the stock recovery and unrooting?
If so id be grsteful for the links.
As always thanks for any help provided.

To unroot, check the apps settings to see if there is an option to completely unroot.
If you want to get back to completely stock, you could use the mobile upgrade software to perform a factory restore. Check the official alcatel website for the program and drivers.
ok will be resetting and reverting to stock then will reinstall root and twrp.
running mobile upgrade now.
will update soon
boot is slow as hell.
may have issues
will update in a sec after a second reboot attempt
boot sucessfull.
updated need updated root and twrp guide for the new rom
wow
this is enought to drive me to a custom rom.
So the phone is running mm or lp?
it was runing mm.
discovered that adb is disabled hince no twrp and no trusted root btw kingo did root.
now im back to 5.0.2
looking for the modified update.zip i saw mentioned that doesnt overwrite bootloader.
ok got update.zip
from fotadownload folder need help with the modifier script.
i probably wouldn't go back to stock to then upgrade, as from what i've read getting twrp and root back on after upgrading to mm is not as easy as just keeping twrp and starting from there
---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------
there are mm roms in the Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development forum which are already prepped to just flash from twrp.
for example > [ROM/FIRMWARE][6045X] Android 6.0 Marshmallow for Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 5.5<
---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------
or >[6045][6.0.1][Stock-based] Project MATERIAL<
the ota modifier script keeps the bootloader and abd commands.
honestly id be fine with any root other than kingo wich seems to be the only working one
ok need a stable problem free marshmellow rom any recomendations.
im a linux noob and the ota modifier instructions baffle me at best.

I'm not really sure how to help sorry, I'm having problems as well. The fastboot does close by itself if it's not connected to a computer, I know that much.
Copy this ROM to internal SD and flash from recovery

You need to find a coloros rom from 2015. The 2016 Coloros Roms have the bootloader locked
---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
Here is a link to an older ColorOS that should have an unlockable bootloader.

After flashing older firmware install twrp recovery and then flash lineageos.

Hi all, I have an Oppo r7plusf international and flashed LineageOS successfully but WiFi wasn't working. Found a thread where someone mentioned to flash project spectrum ROM as a fix and tried that. However after flashing PS successfully and confirmed everything is working I then try to reboot into recovery mode only to find out twrp stopped working. Anyone had similar experience know a way to get twrp back so lineageOS can be flash?

I'm in the same situation... my phone is booting into Spectrum ROM V1.0 Beta... everything works, but now i can't boot into Fastboot and i can not boot into Recovery... so it seems i am stuck with the ROM and I too want to go to Lineage ROM.
Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this?

help rooting my op6

I am on open beta 6 (pie) with unlocked bootloader and I want to flash twrp and root my phone , can someone tell me how to do it right way , cos once I tried and ended up with warning screen from Qualcomm
If you go into the section right underneath this one, Guides etc. There's a few guides to get you back on track.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads
You need latest Blu spark twrp to make it work.
Like the guide you are reading (I guess)
Fastboot boot Blu_spark.twrp.img
In twrp flash Blu_spark.twrp.zip
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
So the issue here was u probably used stock twrp

Thank you , it worked , I was scared that I will break my phone again , Yes i used stuck twrp not blu spark , thx dear
Seems this thread is finished and I would like to sneak a question in on rooting,,,,,, Its been a while since I have rooted being pre-magisk, has it gotten easier to receive OTA updates and security patches? And use Google Pay?
