In your case it is better flash FullOTA ROM via FF.
But first return stock recovery.

Firmware Finder. Stock recovery can be flashed from download mode (fastboot).
But first you need to extract your firmwares recovery.
Here you can search and download firmware http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
Search for your brand and build (MHA-LxxC185Bxxx, fill in x's) then extract UPDATE.APP from zip.
After that download Huawei Update Extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Extract and open HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe, click on the '..' button to the right of "Update file", open UPDATE.APP you extracted.
Rightclick on RECOVERY and click on "Extract Selected".
Now put phone in download mode and flash the extracted RECOVERY.img (fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img)
Now you have stock recovery and you can flash the FULL update through Firmware Finder.
There is no way to keep root, twrp or bootloader unlocked. So you'll have to unlock BL and flash twrp again, which means you need to factory reset (mandatory after unlocking bootloader).
So backup stuff you want to keep from sdcard.

Put the B107 update on your sdcard in a folder called dload. Make sure you rename the B107 Update to update.zip before you do this or it won't see it. Go into settings--->Updater---->Hit Menu at the bottom and go to Local Update. It will see it and you'll be able to install it. Any incremental update that you do make sure to rename the file to update.zip. Do the same process for the B108 update.

Just type in fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxx where x is your unlock code.
Yes - as "ajsmsg78" stated just reboot into bootloader mode and type in "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
After that try to flash the trwp - it worked for me.

FRD-L19C432B120 Stock Recovery

Hello!
I own a FRD-L19C432 device loaded with B120 FW, TWRP flashed to erecovery, the recovery partition is stock (?) since I haven't flashed anything on it and it is also rooted.
A few days ago, I got the notification of the availability of B131 update. According to some info I've read over the web, the erecovery isn't/wasn't used for anything, so I tried my luck and proceeded with updating operation from UI. It booted to recovery, failed to install, showed some error and booted to OS, that stills on B120.
Introduction made, the question is:
I already downloaded the FRD-L19C432B131 full update zip, can I simply flash it through the dload method, or, must I first unroot and flash stock B120 recovery in order to perform the dload flash?
If so, where can I get the B120 stock recovery and erecovery? I'm not finding it while using the Firmware Finder app by Team MT.
Hope you can give some help.
Tks,
RM

It's weird and sad to hear that you flashed twrp to erecovery.
Let me explain u briefly what erecovery does . when u use dload method (while flashing an update.app) , erecovery extracts all .img and .bin files and later it flashes the each file (image files) to its respective partition .
In ur case. The normal stock recovery flashed the update.zip which was included in the script . but it failed to extract update.app in the update.zip and finally output u got is error.
Solution:
The only solution for this problem is ..
Download a full update package of stock ROM...
Extract Update.app (use huawei update extractor) and then find erecovery.IMG
Install adb and fastboot drivers ..
Put your phone in fastboot mode .
Connect to PC ..
In the terminal (command prompt) , type this command and hit enter .
fastboot flash erecovery erecovery.img
(From here u can reinstall the update.zip ) if it fails .
And then try to shutdown the phone , later put full update.app in dload folder ..
Use the 3 button combination to install full package of update.app and thats it .
It reboots to stock again .besure to take a backup of your data before attempting above step . after everything done check for update from settings and install it normally
hello!
Thanks for a proper answer
At the moment I'm stuck (paused) at the TWRP backup operation, since I don't seem to be able to perform a full back to internal storage (with the previous NEXUS phones I owned it was possible...) I need first to get an USB-C adapter in order to use USB OTG to perform the safety backup.
After That I'll flash B120 stock recovery and erecovery, unroot and dload the new FW version.
Meanwhile, another question: Using the FW Finder APP from Team MT on Windows it gets a FRD-L19C432B131 result, while on the Android version of the same AP it only finds B130, not B131 (?). On the other hand, I can only find the B120 full FW over Android APP, and don't seem to find it while using Windows... Any idea why this occurs?
RM
Hello!
Task accomplished! TWRP full backup made, flashed stock recoveries from B120 and after that flashed B131 update.app though dload method.
Everything went OK except for the fact I got bootloader relocked after the second flash. I miss the simplicity of the Nexus devices...
With the TWRP backup made before I was able to restore most of the definitions though. It would be nice to digg a workaround to flash update.app without getting bootloader relocked...
I wonder if extracting boot, system and recoveries IMGs and flash all this through fastboot wouldn't work!? Did anyone tried?

@hackslash can you assist him?!
@AkramRonald
There are 2 ways to solve this.
1. If you have the EMUI 5 update.app available, then extract Recovery2 from the .app file and flash it to the recovery2 partition using Fastboot.
You should not flash EMUI 5 packages through dload. You should flash a downgrade package first then the EMUI 4.1 package.
2. Tell me your model number and I'll give you a link to the firmware which you can easily flash via TWRP.

Those files must have been inside a zip file.
Simply install TWRP and flash those both zip files.
Then install recovery2 and perform a factory reset.

Extract recovery.img from update.app using Huawei Update extractor.
Get your firmware update.zip from: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=MHA-L29C432&firmware_page=0
Extract zip, open up update.app in Huawei Update Extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Rightclick on RECOVERY and click on Extract Selected.
Flash RECOVERY.img using fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
You're now on stock recovery and will be able to flash OTA.
Though, flashing OTA will lock your bootloader again, so you'll have to unlock it again. (if you want to)
And if you modified /system, /product or /vendor it will fail to install.
For a free alternative, if it should fail, use https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
THANX ALOT MAN...IT WORKS! That extractor is a great thing!

Flash stock recovery.
For HWOTA8, follow the thread. You need to download FullOTA.
Also with HWOTA8, you will not need to flash stock recovery manually. Basically you flash the zip from TWRP with the provided stock recovery and the three FullOTA update files from Huawei located in a HWOTA8 folder on your external SD card. Once the update is completed, you can then flash TWRP and root again. Same process for every update. Bootloader stays unlocked.

Hi mp187263
Thank you for your reply, I also think updating via hwota8 is better solution, having said that, there are 4 file downloaded from ff 3 of them are with l29 and one is l09.
could u pls advise if i should dl and flash the 3 files all together with hwota8?
many thanks
You should only have 3 files, that are specific to your model. FF gives you the exact download links you need as long as the correct model is selected.
If you can get into the OS, it will be under Settings > System > About phone (example: MHA-L29 with the build number showing the region - ie. C636). Or a better way is to get the FF app and it will show you the model as well as the region. If you cannot get into the OS and your phone has not been rebranded, it will be on a label on the original box. My phone is from China so it came as a MHA-AL00, but was rebranded to MHA-L29C636 (International version). There are also other versions such as C567 for USA and so forth. The files you download have to match exactly what you have, do not flash it if unsure.

Any modified partitions? That would most likely be why, and you'd have to flash FullOTA if that's the case.

I think I reflash EMUI to ram disk recovery via adb but still have root via magisk. When you say FullOTA, will it erase all my apps and accts? Thanks.

Difference between OTA and FULLOTA is that OTA patches existing partitions while full flashes full images. Your data will stay untouched
