Update .152 question - Huawei P20 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I get a notification that I can update my P20 Pro from .131 version to .152 version.
The update has around 700MB, the problem is that when my update gets downloaded and when I reboot the device it reboots the device in to a TWRP where I get an error 9 with an information that the update has failed to install.
What can I do?
Should I remove TWRP, would that help?
I really want that update since I have very bad SOT (4 hours of SOT max )
Thank you all in advance

Hi,
We can't do it if you have TWRP. You must use HuRUpdater.
I did it on my P20.
You can use Huawei Firmware Finder APK on play store to download the packages.
(I will do it with 8.1.0.164 )
How to use:
Warning: Make sure you know what you are doing and do not flash firmware from other devices.
Download firmware files (for official firmware use Huawei Firmware Finder).
Put files you want to flash in a seperate folder on sdcard.
Supported zip files to flash are (name must match):
update.zip (use FullOTA file)
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip
Optional: Put recovery.img in same folder if you want to keep custom recovery.

Problem to flash a new Rom

Hello,
I "encourtered" a problem with a new update.
I bought an Asian Huawei Mate 8 with the C636B152 version.
Next, I use a C900B320 version to flash this Huawei. Currently it works perfectly.
But now, I have a zip file ROM C432B320 to flash it and I try to update.
For that I use the 3 buttons method.
I extract the zip file in a dload folder on the SD card.
I use 3 buttons and the smartphone restart.
It seem the update is perfectly but, after reboot my huawei is always with the C900B320 version
I launch TWRP and it say : "Device not rooted". Is this the problem ?
What should I do to resolve this ?
Thank you very much to help me.
Regards.

Need stock recovery image: MHA-L29C185

My phone is dead in water.. I have TWRP that complains that the system partition is read only,
I have erecovery that cannot says "getting package info failed" (dies afer "getting package info from server"), and manual downloading of image 138 putting it in dload folder of SDCARD did not go -- it complained that it was not the right version I think..
What can I do now? I thought that I ought to restore the recovery partition, but I can't seem to find it anywhere..
I'm going nuts here
HELP!!
PS: I have been downloading the firmwares from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha , they have two sets: Do I need the OTA or the FULL version to be put into SDCARD's "dload" folder?
You need the FULL version. OTA means "over the air update", and is meant to be applied from a specific version to bring you to a newer version without having to download everything.

well this is a long shot,try to unlock ur BL again.after that try to boot into twrp.and for now only L29C636 n AL00C00 have offline update files that can be flash thru dload folder.
edit-if you need stock recovery actually u can downlaod the full fw of your build and extract update.app using huawei extractor and flash the recovery.img thru twrp or adb
If you can, try firmware finder. For that to work your phone must boot. Or you can go with FunkyHuawei, but that costs money to use.
Both requires stock recovery to install though. And as @eddmecha says, only 2 builds are offline installable.
The system being read only in TWRP is normal as its added as RO in fstab. And if you have dm-verity enabled its no point in installing anything to /system.

Thank you very much; however, there is a problem with the huawei extractor: The extractor works and creates unknown_nn.img files, and there is another script, HuaweiFinder or something that renames them by guessing their contents. I have the "unknown" files, but that renaming script no longer works -- (it dies with FINDSTR errors).
So I can't find the recovery.. perhaps someone could do a "strings recovery.img" and tell me what I suppose to see in there, so I can do the same search amongs my unknown_nn.img files.. Many thanks! -t

I am right now trying to do that -- to fix the recovery to stock, so that eRecovery will let me recover anything!
But can't find it amongst the extracted "unknown_file.nn" files ..

Need boot.img FRD-L09 B404

Hello everyone.
I unlocked a bootloader in my freshly bought Honor 8 last week and I the first thing I did was to flash a root package (obviously). I'm used to SuperSU, so tha's what I flashed. Then I found out about Magisk. I want to try it, but I need to flash stock boot.img in order to install it. My build number is FRD-L09C432B404 (EMUI 5.0, Android 7.0). Could anyone upload corresponding boot img? I'd be thankful.
Do it yourself! ^^

Hello!
You can do it yourself, just follow these steps:
1) Download your firmware (update.zip) from hicloud url: update.zip
2) Extract zip
3) Download "Huawei Update Extractor 0.9.9.5" (zip file): HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5.zip
4) Extract zip
5) Open "HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe" extracted from previous step
6) Click on the 2 dots button and navigate to the file to add the "UPDATE.APP" file ( extracted from step 2) ), it will show you all the files like boot.img , recovery.img , recovery2.img , system.img , etc.
7) Select "BOOT.img" and right-click > "Extract Selected". Choose this destination folder: Where fastboot/adb are installed.
8) Use fastboot command to flash "BOOT.img":
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
Hope it helps you!
I'd rather not download 1.3GB of firmware for the sake of one small boot.img which can't be bigger than 50MBs, not to mention additional software I'll use probably never again, so I'd be thankful if someone sent already extracted boot

BOOT.img file from FRD-L09C432B404 firmware: Google Drive or MEGA

Thanks for your support. I had to extract it anyways for stock recovery, so here it is in case someone needed it.

Any one??? who help me.

Updating your P20 Pro (This can be used to restore a bricked P20 Pro)

My daily driver is AOSCP (CypherOS project) P20 pro ROM, but sometimes I flip back to stock every time there is a new Huawei P20 Pro update. Recently they released (9.0.0.213) so I removed the custom ROM and installed stock (9.0.0.213) without issues, just to see how it feels, whats new and such then jump back to custom. These steps helped me when I bricked my phone.
(Bootloader must be unlocked)
- Use at your own risk.
To jump to stock.
1) Go HERE and type in your phone model and click FIND MODEL button. Then click Filelist, copy and paste the first two links to your browser, this will download the main packages.
2) Extract the update.app file from the Update.zip file you just downloaded.
3) Use EMUI extractor application to extract the image files from the Update.app file.
4) Download Re-Flash, place all the images in the Re-Flash folder and flash as many images as you can. (This step simply puts your phone in enough working order for the update to complete)
Open the "cmd-here" file and start flashing:
Example:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery_vbmeta.img recovery_vbmeta.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
(Keep going - some will flash others won't)
5) type: Fastboot reboot, quickly unplug your phone and hold the volume up button, this will boot into EMUI recovery, now format data, format cache.
6) Now the two main packages you downloaded in step one, place those zip files in the folder called ZIPS-HERE, located in the Re-flash folder. Rename update_full_CLT-L29_hw_eu to update_all_hw
7) In the cmd-here window, type flash.bat
follow the steps.
Note:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if the update fails you'll need a userdata.img, this image file isn't in most update.zip files. You can find it here.
Redo the steps again except this would be the last thing to do in step 4.
- fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Okay, so I have CLT-L09C782, I updated it to 9.0.0.168 using the FunkyHuawei service. I opened Firmware Finder a while ago and I have seen some new versions of firmware there. Can I manually update from there?

I tried Firmware finder in the past, hadn't had any real luck with it whereas other have. So I really can't comment on it.
