How to revert to Stock from CM11

Hello, I currently have Cyanogenmod 11 on my device, but I want to revert to the stock ROM again.
I have the B127 FW on my external SD as the UPDATE.APP within the dload folder.
I flashed stock recovery and after rebooting a couple of times, the update seemed to work at first, as there was a bar to indicate the progress of the install. But I get a failure to install error. Saying there is no UPDATE.APP.. which I obviously do have.
Anyone know what is wrong? I tried unrooting, putting the dload folder on internal SD, switching FW versions in dload folder (B130, B127, etc.)
I keep getting this error though and I have no clue what is wrong and searching yields no results.
Bump
Time ago I had the same problem. At that time (in my case) I solved changing the SD card, re-downloding the ROM (maybe was corrupted), and obtaining the stock recovery by unpacking the just downloaded ROM. You can try the sme way. For me worked fine.
Thanks for the reply! I will try this and report back on status.
So no thing is working. No matter what I do, I get "there is no UPDATE.APP", any more suggestions?
Try downloading the correct stock recovery. Most of the times it has been reported that as the problem.
Try several version of stock recovery. In this forum, somewhere, there's the link where to download from.
Thanks so much! It finally worked! I just downloaded the B137 FW and used this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 to get the recovery.
my problem is the same as above but the phone says i have unlocked device but i never unlocked the bootloader cant flash anything through fastboot except "fastboot update" cant flash recovery or anything cuz technically my bootloader is still locked and now im stuck at rescue mode screen with "attention please update system again" and at the bottom is says "Error Func NO:12(FUNC_LOAD_IOM3)
Error NO: 1
any ideas it would be much appreciated thanks

Hi. That error has something to do with the sensors I think.
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/factory-reset-rooted-mate-7-t3096641
On page 2 I posted two links, one in chinese and one in italian. In the one in chinese they are talking that this error it's from the sensors. In the second link, that it is in italian I saw that in last post someone told that he had the same error and fixed in service.

Bricked honor 8 please help

Hello, today while trying to get back to stock i wierdly bircked my honor 8
I flashed the stock recovery and stock boot img
Then i flashed a rollback package and a marshmallow package which i used for this same thing before.
Now the phone didnt start for a solid 30 minutes and ive decided to reflash the rollback and marshmallow package, but after i flashed the rollback got stuck at the boot logo, not even the stock bootanimation showing up.
The phone doesnt reboot neither in any of the recoveries nor in bootloader.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay so after all of this i managed to reboot to bootloader and get my hands on one of my previous unlock codes. So now ive got an unlocked bootoader, but after fashing twrp the phone is stuck at the 'your device is booting now' when im trying to get in it
I thing you have flashed the wrong TWRP, check for the latest version or at least the one for your build
uh well, hello there again.
i've tried to do the dload method which failed(i used lots of versions tho none worked)
and i've tried flashing marshmallow twrp, which at the moment, well, it cannot mount anything. no partition can get mounted.
Does any of you guys have an idea of what i could try?
thanks in advance
Does it mean that you have access to TWRP ? if TWRP cannot mount a partition, go into mount section, tick system, data, boot, vendor and then reboot to TWRP again. Then try your previous operation. If it cannot mount data, go into wipe, advanced wipe, and click on format data, then restart TWRP and try again
seems like i somehow broke the partition table, cause it shows every storage as 0 mb and mounting isn't available, cant tick the option. Looks like i will have to find some service center to repair it by my own cost, by the end of the month. Though im giving it around the 25th so i got some more time till then, so maybe i find some solution to this problem.
Hey, so I managed to make the phone work again.
I have flashed boot cust recovery recovery2 and system from the italian marshmallow firmware, then I flashed that same firmware using dload method(tho it failed at 99%)

You tried only once? Maybe you should now try to flash TWRP recovery and restore a backup made by TWRP. I can provide you one but for FRD-L09, not another. Another method would be to flash the rollback package and then retry flashing an EMUI 4.X ROM (dload method for both), hope you'll figure it out
I think i expressed myself wrong.
That was how i got the phone to work.
Oh lol I misunderstood because of the "it failed at 99%" and I thought the phone wasn't rebooting , no matter I'm glad you succeeded

S8+ failed TWRP install

I hope someone reads this as I'm lost for ideas. First time trying to root a device, I'm using an s8+ and somehow managed to mess up installing twrp using Odin.
Now when I try to re flash twrp it comes up with error, 'only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed'. Also I think I managed to erase the recovery program that comes with the phone as when I try to boot in recovery it now comes up with error message 'No command'.
I have reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin but that hasn't fixed anything.
Anyone got any ideas or insite into this problem. Any advice would be very appreciated as I'm so keen to discover rooting!!

Seeing No command is normal, with an icon of a dead android lol, thats stock recovery, blue screen, i got that all time, but after waiting about 30 seconds and pressing the buttons, i got the mnue to pop up to reset cache, reboot phone, wipe data etc.
As for TWRP, are you flashing the correct one, dream2lte??, download the latest one, the dream2lte.img .tar file, from the TWRP official website - - https://dl.twrp.me/dream2lte/twrp-3.3.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar.html.
I had this issue trying to flash TWRP with standard odin, i had to use a modded version of odin to flash it, even prince cosmy version didnt work for me.
I have attatched the ODIN i use, its a 7zip file.
Thank you, after trying a few more things the twrp file you gave me worked. I now have a fully rooted s8!!!! Your a legend.

[HELP] Bricked device ? need help

my device is BL-L21 version (EU variant)
I saw this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-aospextended-6-4-honor-6x-t3935711
So rebranded my phone to indian model to get emui 8 according to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onj2Z5eh7Mo
Then flashed this custom askuccio recovery : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qvIgmlPPJ0amS8-aNEIG3xDKc9tHxrW7/view
Now in custom recovery followed the instructions (wipe system cache dalvik data) but could got errors like "could not mount this" "unable to unmount that"
At the time I didn't know all I had to do was to change filesystem then get back to previous one.
So I went into fastboot erase system, data ,cache.
I also wiped internal storage, which I think was the big mistake I've done.
Then back into recovery flash asop6.4 and let it do it's thing, it got stuck on boot screen for quite some time.
When I got back to it, EMUI eRecovery stated something went wrong and proposed to factory reset device. Which I did but gave an error.
Now I tried
* dload method https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240, download link is dead btw.
after copying dload to /sdcard/ and rebooting with vol+/vol-/pwr down, gives : "software install failed"
* HurUpdater, I have trouble finding the correct update.zip/update_all_hw.zip/update_data_public.zip files. Since I can't boot any rom right now I can't use Firmware Finder app.
I also tried to look into /tmp/recovery.log. deleted it because too big, just wanted the result of HurUpdater but I guess permissions have changed and now nothing gets written to it.
* eRecovery to try to get back to stock and do it all over but it didn't work, which is normal since everything is unlocked in the phone.
device then reboots and goes to eRecovery.
I just want to get AOSPExtended running, what should I do ?
Oh yeah also, beginner mistake : I don't have any backup.
Did I do something wrong to get no answers?
