Hi, anybody help me?
Can I flash this update with twrp(3.0.2r2) and root(SuperSu 2.71) or should I restore stock boot, recovery, system?
I don't see any "verify" in updater-script.
I found the answer - NO.

hoping to have an answer to this too since I just got my tablet and don't want to brick it. I hope there will be a hero here.
And whwrw is the file? With TRWP and Root I have a permanent notification to downloand ans install that obviusly doesn't work. Shield downloads OTA file, restarts on TWRP and nothing happens because this doesn't know where is OTA file. Only if I download OTA zip file I could intall install it, but I don't find it looking on Google and another lookers.
I guess, the easiest way is to flash recovery and system of ota 1.4 (download from developer.nvidia.com and fastboot flash) and then flash the new ota update.

There is another way and its the way i have done it.
Go back to stock 1.4 (So that everything is not modded)
Unlock Bootloader
Boot TWRP Recovery (Don't Flash it)
Make Sure in TWRP that you pick Read-Only for the System when asked
Flash SuperSU
Boot Tablet
Sign into Google and Download FlashFire
Ensure OTA is setup for Full
Then each time a OTA downloads use FlashFire to flash it.
My K1 had 1.4 with Root setup in the above manner and When OTA 1.5 Downloaded i used Flashfire and it flashed the Device and then i was on OTA 1.5 with Root intact.
If you use exposed on the other hand then this method will not work unless its the systemless version. But you will need to deactivate all Xposed Modules before flashing.
You could always wait till GtrCraft releases his optimized stock rom once Nvidia releases the factory images. All that's required is to wipe the system partition, flash the rom and then flash SuperSU. No full wipes needed. He hasn't released the 1.5 OTA update yet but I have found this is the easiest way to update. Shouldn't be too much longer.

I'm on rooted 1.4 stock rom, if I'm gonna flash GtrCraft rom, my data will not be deleted since there's no need to full wipe, right?
Thanks

Correct, you will be required to wipe the system partition but app and personal data is not stored on that partition. App data is stored in the Data partition and personal data such as pictures is stored in your internel storage. When in TWRP on the wipe tab you can select which partitions you wanna wipe under the Advanced tab, make sure NOT to select any partition other than system. System is where your ROM info and OS info is stored.
Just a note if you do not know what or how to do what I'm talking about please do a little research first. After you flash the optimized stock image, flash SuperSU for root.
Also note he hasn't released the 1.5 OTA update yet and make sure to flash the K1 OTA update when he releases it and NOT the original shield tablet OTA update. There is a difference.

Prerequisites:
1. K1 is rooted.
2. K1 has TWRP custom recovery installed.
3. File manager (e.g. Total Commander).
4. supersubeta.zip on your K1.
Update procedure:
1. Go to “System upgrade” meniu screen (Settings->About tablet->System upgrade)
2. Enable full update image download. In the “System upgrade” meniu window press dots on the far upper right corner and select “Advanced”. In the new meniu screen check the option “Check full upgrade”. Go back to previous screen.
3. Let the “System upgrade” window download the latest ROM image (1.2 was about 668 MB). When the file is downloaded, DOT NOT PRESS REBOOT/INSTALL.
4. OTA downloaded update files are stored deep in the system. You need to know where the downloaded OTA update file has landed. Open your file manager and navigate to “/data/data/com.nvidia.ota/app_download”. There you will find the downloaded OTA update zip file. Check for the size (it should around 668 MB in case of 1.2 update).
5. Copy/move this file to a more manageable location, e.g. your downloads folder “/storage/emulated/0/download”.
6. Reboot K1 into TWRP recovery. Press the power button on your K1, select “Reboot”. As soon as the screen goes dark, press Volume Down button on your K1. When the K1 has booted into black screen with small letters, navigate with Volume Down button to the meniu item “Recovery” and select it by pressing Power button on K1.
7. K1 reboots to the TWRP recovery.
8. Select “Install”. Navigate to the OTA downloaded zip file, which you copied/moved to the directory “/storage/emulated/0/download”.
9. Select that file. The tablet will seem to freeze, but it’s not. But if you will not touch the screen, the K1 will lock the screen. So, while the K1 is thinking, keep touching the screen in various places until you see a new menu with a slider to install the zip file.
10. When you see a menu with slider, slide it to the right to install the new ROM.
11. After the install is complete, select “Clear caches” on the left.
12. After that, do not reboot the tablet yet. Navigate back to the install screen.
13. Select your “supersubeta.zip” file and install SuperSu binaries.
14. After that, reboot the tablet.
15. If all went well, first boot should show it’s optimising Apps. It means, you successfully update your tablet. After the boot, check if SuperSu is present. If not, repeat the procedure into going to Recovery mode and installing the supersu.zip file again.
its much easier with flashfire by chainfire, all you do is download the full update then load flashfire and click flash then it does it all for you, and you keep twrp and root. the only thing you lose is xposed if you use it so you have to flash that again using twrp

You could always add the flashable Xposed zip to the queue in Flashire and have it install after the rom. Same with kernels etc....
Thanks for the tips here. Flashfire worked for me. Immediatly used it on my rooted phone too.
I had to re enable adaway afterwards, but thats not a problem.

Folks,
I recently bought a Honor 8 and was trying to unlock the bootloder, install twrp and supersu by following the link below
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-t3554789
As stated in the link above, I got to the steps to install supersu. However, on following step 12, it has formatted the data and now the phone is in a bootloop(stuck on the blue screen showing HONOR label)
I'm guessing my phone will not boot up since the OS has been erased. Could someone please help me restore this phone to back to the stock firmware and steps needed to do so. I am new to Honor phones, so not sure what I need to do and steps needed. Would appreciate any help if possible??
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Once there, when asked to keep system read only? - swipe to allow modifications
3. Tap Install
4. Tap Select Storage - Select your SD card
5. Select the supersu file "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip"
6. Swipe to confirm flash
7. Ignore the multiple errors: "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
8. Go back to the main menu
9. Select Reboot to Recovery
10. When asked to keep system read only? - swiped to allow modifications (again)
11. Tap Wipe
12. Tap Format Data
13. Type YES then hit enter
14. It will format data using make_ext4fs..
15. When finished, tap Reboot System
16. Reboot back into TWRP
17. Swipe to allow modifications (You can check the box to never show this again)
18. Tap Install
19. Select storage
20. Select your SD card
21. Select the supersu file "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip"
22. Swipe to confirm flash
23. You should see NO ERRORS now when installing SuperSU
24. Wipe cache/dalvik
25. Swipe to wipe
26. Reboot system
Download the rollback and marshmallow firmware package from honors website. Rename the rollback package to "UPDATE.APP" and place it in a folder called "dload" in your micro SD card. Put the micro SD in your phone, and boot into the firmware update screen (volume up + volume down + power all at the same time). Once it's done, delete the old UPDATE.APP file from the dload folder, rename your marshmallow firmware package to "UPDATE.APP", place it in the dload folder on your micro SD card, place the micro SD in your phone, and again flash the firmware using volume up +volume down +power
Since you still have access to the SD Card via USB, you can just download your firmware, extract it and put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on a microSD card and press all 3 buttons when starting up the phone to start installing the OS again.
Appreciate the feedback. I tried going to the below website to pick up the rollback package and the firmware( Android 6.0)
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/search-result/index.html?keywords=Honor%208%20Firmware
My question is that is it possible to just restore it back to android nougat(7.0) in the U.S or has the 7.0 not released for the U.S markets yet?
I found the following link below for the Android 7.0(Nougat) firmware for Honor 8 but not sure if this work on the phones bought in the U.S
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
Appreciate your feedback on this..
Since the phone is in bootloop, I would have to use a different phone and it's SD card slot to download the firmware and then put it on the Honor 8. I'm guessing the rollback process would only apply if I wanted to go back to the Marshmellow firmware. My question though is would I be able to restore it back to Android Nougat(7.0) if possible.
I found the following link below for the Nougat(7.0) firmware. Not sure if this will work on the U.S phones. Is there a different process to restore it back to Nougat?
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
You can try just getting the nougat firmware onto your micro SD, then pressing volume up + volume down + power to see if it works. Worse case scenario is that you'll get an error.
If you do get an error, your can try the rollback procedure. Once you get marshmallow running you can always just update back to nougat with OTA.
Oh yeah, you don't necessarily need another phone. Just get a micro SD card adapter and plug it into your computer, then transfer the files into the dload folder
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------
You can use the following link for marshmallow firmware. Again, you can always update to nougat later using OTA
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/models-stock-firmware-packages-honor-8-t3501942
thanks for the info..just another clarification. The nougat firmware I found online was a zip file that included 3 files(attached snapshot) . I noticed one of the files is the UPDATE.APP.
My question is on creating the new dload folder do I need to remove the other two files or just copy all of 3 files in the dload folder before I try to restore the phone back.. Sorry if it's a straight-forward question, but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.
Much thanks...
Just the UPDATE.APP
What are the other 2 files? Just curious
there is a folder called : META-INF which has some files in it and also a file called: full_mainpkg.tag which is only a 1KB file so maybe that's inconsequential.
Did you try out the procedure yet? The META-INF folder should not be necessary. You can always try the method with and without the folder included if you really need to.
I did...it did do the update following the steps you mentioned and it seems everything went fine as far as the update is concerned. I didn't get any errors, but once the phone rebooted it is still stuck on the blue screen with the Honor logo on it
Have you tried the rollback procedure as well?
---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------
If neither procedure worked, you can try another procedure which involves extracting SYSTEM.IMG, BOOT.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG, and CUST.IMG from the UPDATE.APP file, then flashing all of them through fastboot, and finally preforming the rollback procedure again.
was finally able to get the phone to reboot and load the firmware. It does seem that there is some issue with the keyboard now as it's only showing OK google as the keyboard so I don't have a keyboard anymore. Not sure how to go around this. Also the phone seems a little laggy and unresponsive at times which wasn't happening earlier. I'm thinking of trying the rollback method to see if that helps or improves the performance of the phone. Let me know of you have any suggestions. Thanks again for your help...
That's a known issue with the keyboard. For some reason it does not function correctly after a factory reset. The rollback should fix everything. Once you are back on marshmallow, just update back to nougat (if you want to) through OTA system update.
Edit: it might actually be easier to just perform a factory reset on the nougat firmware. I'm assuming your data was wiped through the procedure anyway, right?
I can do the rollback but I just realized that I have the 64GB version which is the FRD-L14
http://www.phonemore.com/huawei-honor-8/models/629
I'm not sure if there is a FRD-L14(64GB) variant of the MM firmware available anywhere. If so, I'm not aware of the link of the site to find it. Secondly, if I do install the FRD-L04(32GB) variant of the MM firmware would that create problems for the phone in upgrading and later trying to root and install custom ROM etc.
Much Thanks
The nougat firmware your flashed earlier, was it the L14 firmware? I would not flash a L04 firmware on a L14. Instead, you can probably flash the L14 nougat firmware (unless you already did) and then perform a factory reset
EDIT: Refer to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/frd-l14-users-how-to-restore-downgrade-t3537433
The OP uploaded the correct L14 firmware files. Remember to first flash the rollback package, then the firmware.
the firmware I flashed earlier was the L14 firmware. I went to the link you mentioned above in your post. It's a little confusing as far as the exact steps that need to be followed as people seem to be adding/modifying steps. Would help if I could get a clear step process on how/what to follow.
Also, is it okay to flash the rollback package and then flash the nougat firmware package for L14 if I am currently on nougat(not fully functioning as mentioned in the posts above).
This link below from your reference thread has a few L14 firmware's. I had earlier picked up the first one from the list. Not sure if that's the correct one to flash..
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
Thanks again...
The rollback package is only used if you're downgrading from nougat to marshmallow. Otherwise, you don't need it. Since you were having some issues after flashing the nougat firmware, I would recommend that you rollback, and then update to nougat afterwards. Here's a step by step:
1. Get an micro SD card. Create a folder on it called "dload"
2. Download the F14 rollback package from the following link:
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92098&version=360320&siteCode=us-h
Extract the UPDATE.APP file, and place it into your dload folder. Pace the micro sd into your phone
3. With the phone shut off, press volume up + volume down + power to flash the UPDATE.APP. Once it's done, shut down your phone and remove the sd card
4. Download the F14 Marshmallow firmware from the following link:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1201/g88/v66294/f1/full/update.zip
Extract the UPDATE.APP, and replace the old UPDATE.APP in the dload folder with the new one you just downloaded.
5. Place the micro sd into your phone. Repeat the button combination to flash it. Once it's done, shut down your phone.
6. Press volume up + power to boot into system recovery. Wipe the phone's data from this screen.
7. Boot into the phone. Go to settings -> About
Check to see if the model# etc is correct. If it is not, complete step 8. Otherwise go to step 9:
8. Download the following file:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...94/f1/full/hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip
Extract the UPDATE.APP, place it in the dload folder, and flash it.
9. Boot into the phone. If you want to update to nougat, do the following:
Go to your dialer, and type *#*#2432546#*#*
This will force your phone to check for updates.
Then go to Settings -> Updater to update to nougat
I did follow your steps, but my keyboard has now vanished when the set up screen appears. It only shows google voice and I'm having trouble setting up my phone. Has anyone had the same problem. What can I do to get my keyboard back?
Note: my phone is unrooted. Not sure if that makes a difference
I finally found a way to root the myPhone Hammer AXE M LTE!!! You can use Magisk to patch the boot.img from the 1.0.3 OTA! See the attached thumbnails at the bottom.
My steps:
1) Upgrade to the latest OTA from myPhone (1.0.3). In the event that you can’t download it through your phone, I’ve uploaded it to MEGA: https://mega.nz/#!Ndw3TYrR!nozVRHC1M4ugn-_PKzC7tn1fAAV6w7bB7Iq2uRr8FHA
1a) I had to manually reboot into recovery to install the update. Power off the phone, hold power + PTT until you see the myPhone logo. Once you see the dilapidated robot, tap and hold power then vol + (in that order!!!).
2) The update should be on your external SDcard. Select it and wait for the install to finish.
3) After the install completes, reboot to your system and install the Magisk Manager: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
3a) If you want to use my patched boot and scatter, skip steps 4, 5, and 6 and go to step 7. Patched boot, Scatter, Magisk.apk and Stock Recovery: https://mega.nz/#!YAQ3BQyS!dJjw-O9pyB7ra2q3qrheo7VFXeyUc4MmW1aqbBqTi6I
4) From within the Magisk Manager, go to settings, enable BETA. Go back to the main Magisk screen and select install. Select patch boot. Patch the boot.img from the 1.0.3 OTA.
5) Once that’s done, Magisk will spit a patched_boot.img to your Magisk forlder on your internal drive. Copy that over to your PC (or email it to yourself, my PC couldn't see it for some reason).
6) If you don’t already have a working SCATTER file, you’ll need to download one. The only one I’ve found that works is in this ROM: https://www.needrom.com/download/myphone-hammer-axe-m-lte/
7) Grab SP Flash Tool: https://spflashtool.com/ , launch it, load the SCATTER file, either the one from the .zip I provided or the one from the ROM on needrom.com (they’re the same), uncheck all the boxes in the lower half of the SP Flash Tool window except for the boxes to the left of the boot and recovery rows. Click in the “location” field on the right-hand side of the window, a dialog will pop up, choose the your patched boot image, if you’re using the one I provided it will be called “magisk_boot.img”. See attached thumbnail for reference.
8) Make sure that the field above the area with the content to flash is on DOWNLOAD ONLY. Make sure you don’t have and Android devices attached to your PC and upon successful inspection, click “Download”.
9) Turn off your myPhone AXE M LTE. Wait for it to fully power down (there will be an additional vibration after the screen goes blank). Attach the phone to the computer via the USB cable that shipped with it. If the SP Flash Tool is in a good mood, it should start flashing immediately (the bottom strip on the window will turn red, then yellow, then you’ll get a pop-up saying “OK!”). If SP Flash Tool is being an @$$, you may have to unplug the USB cable, hit “Download” again, plug the cable back in and repeat until SP Flash Tool correctly sees your phone.
10) Once you get the “OK!” box, reboot the phone. Go to Magisk Manager. Hit install. Choose the direct install (the third option, bezposrednie). Reboot the phone.
11) You should now be able to install XPOSED, VIPER, etc through the Magisk Manager. For XPOSED, make sure you’re using the MAGISK SPECIFIC APK (downloaded from with the Magisk Downloader, just click on the text describing the module and you’ll get a changelog): https://mega.nz/#!UYwExLjC!AAZi-qho0PHWNjXMzAikbTHmTjaEtYfLlqYeDbeJM14
Note: Everything I've tried except for the DOLBY modules has been working splendidly. If you brick yourself, just reflash the ROM from needrom.com and start over.

I had no idea OTA 1.2.0 existed. Is it Nougat? If so, could you upload it to Mega?
I do not know how. I got my phone back from service (new display), before it was android 4, now it is android 6, working ver:AXE_M_LTE_EN_20170410_1.2.0 core 3.10.72 [email protected] #2

Ok. Mine is still running 1.0.3. I bought it from Biedronka less than a year ago and it already had Marshmallow on it.
Well, I do not know if your procedure works on 1.2.0 and do not want to brick it.

Don't blame you. Hopefully they'll release the OTA you have for the rest of us and then we'll be able to see if the Magisk method works for it too. At the moment my aktualizacja program says that 1.0.3 is the latest OTA.
Files lacking in your upload?
Hello,
thank you for this tutorial. I encountered a few problems:
1) needrom.com requires not only an account, but also a premium one to download the file you linked.
2) Your scatter file was not accepted by my SP flash tool. I used the one I found somewhere else (searching by the CPU model) and it was accepted.
3) After I did this, I couldn't find magisk_boot.img which was supposed to be in your .zip archive. There is no such file there. There is only boot.img, but judging by the size this is an unpatched one you attached in point 4) of your tutorial.
4) I tried generating my own patched_boot.img and succeeded, but it is rejected by SP flash tool (wrong format or sth).
5) Only pair of boot and recovery files that was accepted is in "sig" folder of ur archive. But I have no idea what files are theese and I don't have the guts to try this.
I have no idea what to do now. Could you give me some clues?

Hey.
I'd tried contacting the original uploader of the needrom file but couldn't get through to him, so I've uploaded his rom to mega:
https://mega.nz/#!9UQh3CBK!LqmVOAxfoIstSVAPeypVzsi7G8PGWQWB_j9qcZB_-RI (this is the same rom from step 6)
As for points 2 through 5, sorry for any confusion, I went back and updated my links. This should resolve your difficulties (initial files I used at the time I wrote the guide): https://mega.nz/#!9UQh3CBK!LqmVOAxfoIstSVAPeypVzsi7G8PGWQWB_j9qcZB_-RI There should be three files inside, the scatter I used, the stock recovery and the modded boot image entitled "magisk-boot.img"
Alternate upload (this contains a modded boot for Magisk 16.6 plus the APK for Magisk Manager): https://mega.nz/#!YAQ3BQyS!dJjw-O9pyB7ra2q3qrheo7VFXeyUc4MmW1aqbBqTi6I
Note 1: on Linux I had to flash both the recovery and the modded boot at the same time because it kept hanging when I was only flashing the modded boot. I don't know why, I just troubleshot till it worked and that's why the stock recovery is included in the .ZIP I linked.
Note 2: I have a Hammer Axe M LTE (if you're in Poland, they were sold for 700zl at Biedronka). I don't know if this process will work on any other variant.
This is my MEGA folder for the Hammer: https://mega.nz/#F!hNAxAQBC!B0el82vXo1sKsEdIskoW1g

4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations.

For Oreo beta?
No to RNE-L21C432B135 Nougat
I haven't tested it for oreo beta I'm back to MORFUZ V 1.0
Great looking, it works perfectly, I tried to install oreo but it does not work, it always returns to 7.0 and 5.1. At least I managed to redirect the cell. But for the oreo version I think I have to wait because I've tried many but no one works.
I used this on top of the MidgarD ROM I had, now I have a normal 4.5G AND a working face unlock. On Stock ROM, I didn't have the option for the face unlock, and when I installed Elemental ROM and later MidgarD ROM, it didn't work on both of those. This is interesting, isn't it?
I also didn't immediately lose my installed apps, by which I mean until I unlocked the bootloader again.
Bad news: Despite installing Magisk and enabling Magisk Hide after this, I fail the Safety Net check
Thanks man its working fine, my Mate 10 Lite was soft bricked or wont get proper hardware and face unlock, now it works
in start it was problematic for me, wifi would not turn on, phone will periodically show storage full (there was no SD Card in it)
then I restarted 2/3 times, and poof.
Now not only phone is back but it has oreo
Hi!
I tried this, downloaded the rne-l21c432b135 FullOTA from Firmware Finder and followed the instructions.
However, when it boots after finishing then my phone has turned into NEO-L21 and I am not able to get back to RNE-L21 without replacing the software with an older backup. It says also the unit is rooted (Huawei ID says so when I should enter my fingerprint) even though I have formatted the unit.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Sorry, I had used the wrong file (there is one for the RNE-L01 and one for the RNE-L21) and that made all the difference, I am not back to stock!
Thank you so much for the help!
Hi,
Works for RNE-L01C432B135 perfect. I updated without any problem.
But because I don't want to stay with locked bootloader, I made all rooting procedure from the beginning.
That was easy too, because I have backups of every single details (important datas from internal storage, messages, programs and of course /data/hw_init folder, SuperSU-decyrpt)
Thanks again

You should probably add credit to @mankindtw as this is his script
And switch places of step 2 and 3

He refused to support the lite model. I re-wrote his script and improved it. I will not add it. He need to be more flexible.

Good job then
Where can I find HwOTA for Huawei Honor View10?
HI Guys
my current firmware is RNE-L21C185B110 but i can't find any FULL OTA firmware but only OTA MF (RNE-L21C185B142CUSTC185D001 this is the last available update).
My bootloader is unlocked, unrooted and without TRWP
How can I do to update to last firmware with HwOTA?
ok
To install the update of the B142 you do not necessarily have to use the HWOTA, you simply have to copy the DLOAD folder from the extracted RAR file to your SD, if your SD says that the file is very large ... format the SD to another type of Format..
Formatting a unit SD in exFAT
1. Double-click on Equipment.
2. Right-click on the flash drive or memory card, then select Format.
3. In the File System list, click exFAT.
4. Click on Start.
5. Click OK to begin the format.
After saving the DLOAD folder to the SD.
- Turn off your smartphone
- Now press the volume button up + Volume down + Power button at the same time, so that the update process starts automatically.
- This procedure takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete
- Automatically it will restart ... and you will have installed the update.

I have the same model of L21, the firmware finder doesn't find the update yet. I'm located in Slovenia, if that helps anyhow. Although today I received the April security update B135.
I am on ww 229. when i check for update it tells me your system is up to date. Do I need to do this manually or will it eventually show up. Also how is android 12 on this phone. Any bugs? any performance improvements?
A12 is pretty good.
also you could've just googled how to manually ota update asus phones. they works more less the same:
1. download the update pkg to the phone.
2. move it to the root of the storage (i.e. the first page you open when you tap internal storage in fm.
3. charge your device to at least 60% and up.
4. reboot the phone.
5. after a while it should give a popup saying update found, tap on it and start local ota.
some notes:
if you want to keep magisk then DONT reboot after ota finished. go to magisk manager and select install to inactive slot. then you can reboot.
This only works for updates not downgrade. if you flashed 31.xxxxx (A12) then you cant go back to 18.xxxx (A11), it won't give you the prompt.
