You need to fastboot flash the stock recovery, system and cust img files from your latest L29 stock rom then do a factory reset, then you can take the update to B180. Try posting this in the Q&A section, this section is for development.
Thanks for your reply but I don't know how to process. Could you provide photos for tutorial.

Can't OTA fromL29C432B560 to b581 because of TWRP. How to go back to stock recovery ?

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.

Developers options missing

Hello y'all, i issued a problem tomorrow by rooting BLN-L21C432, i unlocked bootloader with no problem, when was time for flashing recovery, i flashed the boot into the recovery and issued a problem in the dev options and security. Cuz of that, i can't access to adb, hisuite hdb to backup, and can't install extern apps without autorizations.
I tried all night long to resolve but no way, add to that the fact i've got a very very low connexion so 3-4h to load an update.zip.
So i downloaded b370, no way i can't use the dload method, fail at 5%. Same issue with b369. Tried to flash manually system boot and recovery by extracting update.app, no result, it's same. Tried to Unbrick via multi-tool, i use it on honor 7, but there's no cust image in update.app.
Build number is normal, C432B365.
I don't know what to do now, it's 10 hours i'm losing my minds with that phone. Please heeeelp :crying:
From which firmware ? Is it good if i flash boot and recovery from B360 ?
Edit : Actually the phone is in B365, it would be better if i try to dload from it right ?
I read that unlocked bootloader could block an update, is that true ?

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
