Hi everyone,
I got about halfway through the rooting process with my unlocked Mate 9 (unlocked boot loader, installed TWRP) but didn't end up rooting or installing any roms because for some reason backup is not working with TWRP.
I have received the Oreo OTA update but cannot install it OTA because of TWRP; is there any way to either 1. return to the stock boot loader and install OTA update or 2. install Oreo with TWRP? Thanks!

I've got my FRD-L14 (64GB US honor 8) running stable with B360 firmware (released 02-13-17) bootloader unlocked, SU flashed via TWRP.
I wanted to try the latest B385 OTA firmware flash so I used fastboot to flash my current stock B360 System.img, boot.img, and recovery.img to be sure I am running all stock boot/system files before flashing the B360 OTA.
I rebooted from fastboot successfully and continued with the OTA interface to install latest system update, it rebooted into Huawei recovery interface, verifying, installing, and then fails to verify and install.
Do I really have to lock the bootloader and wipe the entire phone in order to install latest OTA and then re-unlock bootloader, reflash twrp, and restore data ?
Thanks !
Well, that wasn't hard.
I used the "download latest full package" in the top-right menu of the OTA updates screen. This successfully installed B385 OTA update package for me without failure, while bootloader unlocked. Imagine that. I hope this helps someone else! Now, to figure out how to use magisk rather than supersu....

Hello, i have unlocked and rooted Mate 9 L29C432B182. After unlocking & rooting first few weeks i get an update to B190 but i didnt update because of TWRP. But then it tried to update itself and stuck on TWRP screen. I reboot my phone back and it was gone. And i never get ota updates. I want to update to emui 8. Or should i update?
First you need to flash back stock recovery, download firmware (C432B182 in your case) from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ and extract RECOVERY using Huawei Update Extractor then flash the extracted recovery image using fastboot.
Next see if you can use Firmware Finder to update.
And you won't be able to update to Oreo using regular OTA, unless you are approved for beta. Official Oreo should release sometime in December.
Hi everyone, I currently have a mate 9 with Oreo 8.0.0 installed with an unlocked bootloader, TWRP and rooted with SuperSU..
I just got a notification that there is an update pending. My current build number is mha-l29 8.0.0.360(c567). The update in question is mha-l29 8.0.0.367(c567). Should I accept the install? What will happen to my root and TWRP? Thanks
it won't install on TWRP. you can revert to stock recovery or install through HWOTA8 where you will also loose root and TWRP but not data...
Hey.
I have a Google Pixel running on Oreo (8.1.0) rooted with Magisk. Earlier today i got the OTA for android Pie (9.0).
Can anyone help me out by providing steps as to what do i need to do in order to update to android 9? Do i unroot and install OTA update or simply flash the update package from the recovery?
Edit : My bootloader is unlocked (ofcourse) and i have TWRP recovery.
Thanks
Sideload the OTA file following the instructions here:
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Keep in mind that you will lose root and TWRP. You'll have to repeat the procedure to (boot from and) install TWRP, then install Magisk, as you did before.
Let us know if you have further questions.

yeap but why you want ota update when you have bl unlocked and twrp installed
Sorry to disagree, but my Poco F1 is unlocked and rooted (twrp + magix) and i still receive ota
It just "unroot" and replace twrp by the stock recovery each time an ota updates the phone
Yesterday i received the Android 10 OTA update. just have to reflash recovery with minimal_adb_fastboot, then reinstall magix. Tha't all
(if any question, i root for Titanium backup usage and Adfree )
Unlocked boot custom recovery never got one update so flashed a beta ROM instead and never looked back if I want to update just download the latest version of the ROM I currently use and flash away........
Flash Orangefox recovery enable ota update feature,then clean flash your stock rom. You don't have to do anything after that. when update shows up download and update as usual
