Hello all.
I think it's all in the title. I am on L29C432B560, with root and TWRP installed.
Recently, I got the OTA notification for B581. But when I tried it, the system dowloaded the package, then rebooted to recovery. Except my recovery is TWRP, and won't auto-install the package.
Could I just use fastboot to re-flash stock recovery, OTA update, and maybe re-root with magisk ?
If yes, where to download the stock recovery for nougat ? I've been searching for 2 hours, but it seems my google-fu isn't strong enough :/
Alternatively, any suggestion is welcome as to the best way to go from rooted b560 with TWRP to b581 ...
Thanks in advance for your help !
Aaaaaand I just found it.
There seems to be something magical with me, where I look for something for 2 hours, then decide to ask for help, and figure out the solution 5 minutes later.
I just needed to use HuaweiUpdateExtractor to get the recovery.img file from a full b 560 update. After that I flashed it with fastboot, and the OTA .... well, the OTA failed. But it got through to standard recovery and started.

Here the stock recovery of your firmware.
Hi guys
So i created quite a mess here..
Device:
Mate 9 L09C432
I had RomAur B197 installed.
Then i tried to somehow get to oreo.
I was able to flash the newest oreo stock firmware with HWOTA tool and it worked but it was unrooted & locked i guess.
So i unlocked it again and flashed twrp 3.2.1-0 fromfuture edition.
Seems like the data was decrypted, i just saw strange filename, so i wiped data, what actually helped.
Unfortunately this somehow broke the system and starting the os caused a bootloop.
Then i discovered that MTP was not working in TWRP so i flashed TWRP 3.2.1-0 by Pretoriano80.
With this recovery MTP was working so i tried to flash an OS somehow.
I tried to flash the stock firmware again with HWOTA8 but it failed at the update.zip
Manual flash in twrp also fails for that update.zip.
I also tried to flash a treble rom from a german forum.
After that twrp was not starting anymore (bootloop).
So back to twrp by fromfuture where MTP is not working, good that i have an SD card.
And i once wiped system because the space was 0mb after that it was fine again.
TWRP gives the following for the update.zip file:
Code:
...
write radio image...
check_write_data_to_partition,write data error update_huawei_pkd_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed.
E:unknown dommand [errno]
update process ended wit ERROR: 9
Error installing zip file...
So yeah im a bit out of ideas..
Any ideas are welcome
Thanks
Your mistake is trying to flash a custom rom using TWRP. Most treble/Oreo roms can not be flashed with TRWP. Upgrading to Oreo changes the partitions on the device and that may have caused your issue. My advice would be to download the Huawei update extractor and your current firmware. Open up the extractor and extract the recovery ramdisk. Flash the stock recovery via fastboot. Once you have the stock recovery back. Download the Carbonromv4 from openkirin.net and flash that. That you should get you back up and running. Search XDA for how to install a generic treble system img or check the support page on the Openkirin site for instructions.
Thanks for this advice, everything worked
It was that easy but I just didn't know before..
anyways thanks a lot!

Glad to hear it worked for you! The treble roms work really well and if you are looking for a better camera try the P20 camera port. You will have to re-flash TWRP to install it, but you can then flash the stock recovery back.
Hello there.
I unlocked my bootloader a long while ago, then flashed TWRP on my TW U11+. Now recently I have seen that there's an update and I get the popup from my updater.apk on my HTC U11+.
My phone is on 1.24.709.7 update. And it's I think most definitely the ASIA_TW version.
Mid - 2Q4D10000
Cid - HTC__621
So I try to update but of course fail because my recovery was TWRP so of course that it did not work. Then I hear that you need to have stock recovery, so what I do is I get stock recovery.img, go to download mode and flash it through the command "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img. I get the success command and I reboot and try download the OTA once again, then I try to update it. It does go to stock recovery but then it "updates" til 25% and then it's stuck. Then after like 10 seconds it just simply gives my this Red Triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle of it. So I press power button and vol down to get off that mode and that's it. It won't update to the newest OTA.
I flashed 1.24.709.7 recovery at first. It didn't work then I flashed 1.24.709.8 recovery but still no avail.
Can you guys please help me? I really don't know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance
I am having the exact same problem. I wish I had the HTC__621 recovery, but I haven't been able to find the correct one.
Hopefully somebody will see this. Every link that looks like the right thing is dead.
Same problem
I had the same problem, too.
But I find a way to update to 1.24.709.8.
That is: I decide to flash the 1.24.709.8 version's RUU .
Hope this can help you.
U11+ All TW version's image and OTA :
//drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kNE8rN8yUBPo9vux9G3CMvUzg3cg0lQ3
Thanks for the link.
However the problem that I'm experiencing is that whenever I flash either 1.24.709.7 or 1.24.709.8 RUU. It just won't flash over fastboot. So what I do is I put it on my SD card then put the file and rename it to like 2Q4DIMG.zip and go to recovery and still won't flash it correctly.
I'll try it again today to see what error code I get from it.
Did you unlocked or rooted your u11+?
Sorry for the late reply man.
My HTC u11plus is unlocked and I also have rooted my phone via magisk.
You can't update with official ota if unlocked, you need to relock and have the stock recovery. Relock will wipe your data I think
You can OTA with unlock, but you must run pure stock ROM. I RUU my phone and successfully apply the OTA.
Magisk did modify /boot partition so OTA wont apply with Magisk. You have to restore stock boot, OTA, then patch the boot again to preserve Magisk. Also if you use 3rd party recovery you have to restore the stock one.
All partition image can be found in the RUU with https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928 but you must make sure you flash the version match your current system. If not the only way might be RUU your phone.
I have also had the exact same issue with updating the latest OTA update. I have TW model, it was unlocked and rooted with magisk. I relocked bootloader, stock boot img and still the update wouldn't install. I even tried flashing 1.24.709.7 RUU in downloader mode but failed remote: 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR.
Would love any ideas or help.
*UPDATE*
Finally was able to update to 1.24.709.8 OTA. I needed up unlocking the bootloader again, then downloaded the 1.24.709.7 full image from
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kNE8rN8yUBPo9vux9G3CMvUzg3cg0lQ3
Extracted the rar file and manually installed the boot, recovery and system images separately and rebooted. Downloaded the update and installed, everything worked sweet!!

Thank you very much for this. I will try this tomorrow or something.
I will post my results here.
Btw is there any update for Emea region? They did one a month ago for TW models and since then no words about Europe and Middle East
Does anyone have a link to 1.24.401.7 9.0_CL1010171 ? I'm trying to find stock recovery that matches with stock rom and can't find it anywhere.
Magisk and TWRP installed at the moment.
I've got stock boot.img backed up before installing Magisk but there was no way to boot (without flashing) TWRP in order to backup stock recovery that came with U11+.
Cheers
hello everyone,
i have S8+ with android 7 installed, not rooted and still didnt get any OTA for either oreo or Pie, so i decided to do it manually but i wanna make sure of the steps since it's been a while for me not flashing anything.
first thing i should know is that this update is going to wipe my phone due to the bootloader update
and about that bootloader update, should i flash pie bootloader first or just flash a stock ROM with odin that includes bootloader file ?
any help with this issue is much appreciated

If you are going to update with Odin flash full firmware. ( 4 files )
As for wiping your phone when you unzip the downloaded firmware there will be 2 CSC files.
CSC - Clean install will wipe your data ( same as factory reset )
Home CSC - Dirty install should keep your data
Always do a backup before doing anything.
Note: Make sure after you upgrade your firmware to update your apps so that they will be comparable with new firmware.
Hello guys, i have a question. What is the proper way of flashing miui updates from twrp. Atm i am on 10.2.2.0 but a new pie udpate has been released and i want to update to it. Also, do i need a certain recovery? I am on pitchblack atm.
I just don't want to brick my phone. Thanks in advance.
You can flash with no problem.
But after flash you lose twrp (it will be stock recovery). Need it reflash.
I successfully updated to pie, but a problem emerged. I can no longer flash magisk. Flashing magisk results in a bootloop and when i uninstall it from the recovery, the phone boots normally.
Any suggestions?
Did you flash that zip "lazyflasher"? For the dm verification thing.
