Today when I decided to update to the latest android (5.1.1) with rooted nexus 5. I rebooted
my phone and it started installing when suddenly a picture of the android robot with a red triangle sign on top appears and under it it says error so I restarted my phone by holding down the power button for several seconds and when I get in to my phone it says that I'm updated to 5.1. But what I understand that's correct so now I'm wondering how to deal with future updates because I can't afford to brick my phone and I thought I could just download OTA updates normally after root so my question is, can I normally install OTA updates, if not How?
[Edit]Later today I got the update to 5.1.1 message again and its really annoying and I want the update now so how do I get it?
Thanks for reading.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. No, you can't use the OTA if your rooted with 5.x and above. To update you'll most likely need to flash the stock frimware. but you never let us know what your device is so i can't point you in the right direction.

Thank you for answering, I have a nexus 5 but I guess I´ll have to flash the stock firmware if there is no other way that isn´t too complicated.
All right. You'll want to see these, http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217 It's possible to update by only flashing the system, boot, and radio images files with fastboot. You'll lose root but you can easily regain it by flashing supersu in your custom recovery.
Also don't forget there's a complete forum for the Nexus 5 here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5

I just spent 2 hours trying to flash the system but all i ended up with was a factory reset after following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701 so all i want to do now is just getting rid of root so I can update but the guides that i understand doesn´t work because when I tried to flash the hammerhead bootloader it said the my device requires another version. The i took the version that my nexus is in right now 5.1.0 and it appeared to be working so when it was finished I followed the guide and i wiped my system for about 5 minutes and then i chose reboot system from the recovery mode menu. And now im back at where i started.
(Edit) Now I´m installing SDK and following another guide online http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/b...-lollipop-factory-image-on-your-nexus-device/
It turns out all i had to do was to unlock my phone and then I installed 5.1.1 just fine
Yep, that's the first step. Glad you got it working. I'll close this thread.
Hello everyone,
well I really don't know how to start without embarrassing myself so here it goes. Somehow I managed wipe everything from my Huawei P8max. Completely everything. The phone was rooted before and I decided to update it and I erased everything. I can still flash it with the official root tool or official recovery but that's about it.
Right now I'm on official recovery and when I press volume + volume - and power button it says "Software install failed! The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."
I tried searching for firmware almost everywhere with no luck (including Huawei site)
I got no clue how to fix it I'm a noob, anyone can help me please?
Phone is DAV-703L
Best Regards,
E.
Download software here: http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/ then put the update app in dload and flash it via recovery.

Flashing instructions are at the bottom of the page.
Enjoy.
Thank you guys, you rock ! :good: :good: :good:
Just finished installing the OS and all the updates. Google play store was gone so I downloaded it.
Any idea how can I get rid off the Chinese letters/descriptions, there is quite a few of them. I did search the forum and didn't find anything unless I missed it.
Last question, can I root the phone using the old method ?
Thanks both of you !

You probably need to setup the locale.
try this: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=locale&fdid=com.sweetiepiggy.everylocale
or this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.locale

Thank you, the first link didn't work for me (permission denied) so I switched to 2nd one.
For some reason Play Store is getting uninstalled on it's own every few hours and I started reinstalling it with Titanium backup. Annoying.
I'm in the middle of trying to install TWRP tried multiple versions and different sites and flashed at least 5 different TWRP images and cannot boot into TWRP. I just end up at the EMIU recovery. Is TWRP not functioning for this model?
EMUI: 5.0
Android: 7.0
Hi there @WillDaBeast69. I actually purchased one of these and want to root it and such. I'm gonna be in your thread a bit trying to help you find a way and also help me and everyone else in the process to find a solution. If a solution is already available then hopefully someone else will post it.
AFAIK - currently I don't see anything regarding the L14 which is the 64GB version.
What I'd like you to do first is get back on the stock firmware. Unless you know where to find one, I'm going to say look for an UPDATE.APP somewhere for the L14. I'm going to do some searching as well. If you find it please post the link. If you find one that works and it's not on an official site (Honor site) then I'll also download it and upload to a central location that everyone can get to it.
Once you're back on the stock firmware, I'm going to ask you to try and get a TWRP image booted on the device. Not installed but booted. Once we have that up we can proceed.
*EDIT*
So after doing a bit of digging I found a link in someone's sig.
All thanks go to @Dominikrod for his sig which lead to this post.

But before we can proceed, we will need to get your phone back up and running if it's not already in a working state.
*EDIT*
So after following the instructions I got one of the L14's I have up and running rooted. The other one is giving me some trouble because I can't unlock the bootloader for some reason. Keeps telling me the code is wrong. Once I get it up and running I'll make sure I post pics of the process.
Confirmed working on EMUI5 - Android OS 7.
THANK YOU!!

Hoping you're still monitoring this thread or get a notification. I also just purchased the L14 and was disappointed to find that it is "special" as all the guides, firmware, etc that are available are for the L04. I was wondering what progress you've made since this post? Have you had any other issues, flashed custom ROMs, and if so, how did they work?
Also, have you had any luck finding current update.app/zip files for the L14? I found posts directing to an app called Firmware Finder which seems to pull up multiple copies but also read that those might somehow be locked and result in a brick/soft brick. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

From what's been happening to me, I think Huawei may be clamping down on allowing persons to unlock their bootloader and root the phones. I've not been able to get into the site at all - I've managed to root my wife's phone but mine.............nothing. Nothing works. I got the info directly from their site and it just won't work. I emailed them and they say that they don't assist individuals with bootloader unlock nor do they allow it - which seems to be new policy.
The instructions that are in the link I have works. As long as you got your bootloader unlocked you can install TWRP, SuperSU and root. If you go through the instructions in the link and need step-by-step assistance then just post back.
Error on FRD-L14 and B388

I try to install all the TWRP imgs on the links, I´m using the FRD-L14 B388, but after I reboot the phone after flashing the TWRP recovery pressing VOL + and VOL - , I received the message "Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted.... Your device is booting now..." after some minutes it goes to EMUI recovery instead of TWRP.
Is there something I can do it to solve this issue?
Thanks in advanced!

This is normal after you unlock the bootloader. Unless you re-lock it you won't get rid of that error AFAIK. Small annoyance to pay for full root.

I also got honor 8 FRD-L14 version rooted with Magisk and stock EMUI 5.0.1. You should try Dolby atmos audio mod from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342 and also Google dose for Magisk to improve battery life.

Any chance that step by step assistance is still on the table? I'm revisiting the notion of unlocking and rooting but your previous post and the threads linked to it have me quite a bit lost. Do I have to go all the way back to build B162 to get it to work properly? I know my way around ADB and have unlocked every phone I've had going back to the first HTC Evo but all the different versions of this phone has me all turned around. :/
A walkthrough with direct links to files used would be greatly appreciated if you have the time.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Not a problem. I'll see what I can do. Will need a little time to compile the info.

Apologies. Vehicle issues that I'm sorting out have taken up my time.
So first thing we're gonna do is this. Go to this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-to-nougat-t3510275/post70396400#post70396400
Download the files there. You have an L14 and this thread I've linked to has files for that phone.
Next you want an SD card. An 8GB card should work. You will also need a hash checker like the one in the link below.
http://getmd5checker.com
Once you have all of those post back and we can proceed.
I used this guide to install TWRP on my FRD-L14 without a hitch:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
Is there a certain step you get caught up on? I just reverted back to stock after being on a custom ROM for a day so it is fresh in my mind.
This is the TWRP I used:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
@dsEVOlve - you can try the link that @Deemo13 posted. I'll still be here to go through the step by step process. If you're available tonight I will also give you remote assistance in getting it done if you'd like the help that way.
https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/
Go there and download version 11 if you'd like the remote assistance in getting this done. If we can agree on a time then I'll ask you to PM me the ID and PW.
Let's go through and see if we can get you setup.

Thanks for the offer of assistance. I think I've got the process now and the files needed to root. I was just wary before because nothing I came across specifically said it was for the L14 variant.
Just trying to figure out if I want to go the SuperSU or Magisk route. Any suggestions?
And the first link you provided utilizes build 360. How do I go about getting the latest build to flash? Firmware finder?

Hi all,
Someone know How can I Root my device?
You can not yet...
First stage would be unlocking the bootloader ... which Huawei now deny you the ability to do.
However it appears someone is offering a working unlock service.
People are reporting it's legit for the P20 / Pro.
Be careful though.

As a fresh owner of Honor Note 10 I was curious if it's possible to have the bootloader unlocked. Just finished chatting to the admin from the website and he claims that YES, they offer this service for 30EUR. But then I asked him if there's an actual way to root the device and he wouldn't know. My point here is: there's not much of a point to have an unlocked bootloader if you can't get the root on the phone. I think we will have to wait a bit longer till someone gets a working root method. I wouldn't mind to pay for having the bootloader unlocked (for reasonable amount of moneyh) as long as it works...
You can't have root without the unlocked bootloader.
So of course there isn't a root method yet ... because no-one was previously able to unlock the bootloader.
If that is now possible, then a root method will inevitably come.

Given Huawei's recent dull attitude that reads something like "LOCKED BOOTLOADER is for your safety only" (BLAH BLAH BLAH), reasonable doubt of a commonly available ROOT for this magnificent device is more than imminent...
But hope is all there's left, right
If one enterprising individual has found a way, and is charging €30, then others will find a way too, and will provide it for less / nothing eventually.
He's just the first, and good for him.

Hmmm... there seems to be some work in progress alright regarding a custom TRWP for Note 10, if the google translator works fine, that is:
https://translate.google.com/transl...m/thread-17327282-1-1.html&edit-text=&act=url
And the bootloader unlock code might get somewhat cheaper, too:

Let's wait and see, I guess
Just to keep this thread alive, does anyone happen to have an access to the Chinese Huawei club forum with TWRP recovery? I'm unable to download the img file there as it requires to have a chinese phone number to register on the site. All it takes is to have that file downloaded. I'd like to volunteer to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP through adb interface and try to root the Note 10 with Magisk or SuperSU just to see if it works.
Anyone with Chinese Huwaei ID willing to download that file, as seen here:
https://club.huawei.com/thread-17327282-1-1.html
Any help is much appreciated!

Can anyone download Official rom 108 from below baidu link. Atleast it will be useful for recovery if something screwsup. baidu is somehow extremely slow to download and connection resets for me after few hours. Please share once you are able to download.
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1-JF43jLbz2WcTMurYHm0Hw
Password : 6c52
Process :
Unzip the compressed file and copy the dload folder to the SD card.
forced upgrade:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Note10 three physical buttons (volume up and down keys, power button) until you enter the recovery to upgrade
2. If the upgrade is successful, the machine will automatically restart into the system;
Tip: If there is a problem with the upgrade failure, please check whether the SD card upgrade package is copied to the specified directory and the upgrade package is the SD card upgrade package of the product.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated?.
The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Ah well, we have to remain patient till someone actually releases a working TWRP for Note 10. Sooner or later, I guess ?.
Cheers!

https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
I chose the fast 1-20min option and it was done that way, indeed. You must pay upfront, of course. They generated the unlock code for me and all I did was a few lines in cmd powershell while phone was in fastboot mode.
There's an ugly message coming up everytime I boot saying that my device has an unlocked bootloader?
But we need a custom CWM or TWRP image now?
I wonder if there's a stock boot image of Note 10 floating around online, perhaps in Huawei Chinese forums?

Can anyone download Official rom 108 from below baidu link. Atleast it will be useful for recovery if something screwsup. baidu is somehow extremely slow to download and connection resets for me after few hours. Please share once you are able to download.

Password : 6c52
Process :
Unzip the compressed file and copy the dload folder to the SD card.
forced upgrade:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Note10 three physical buttons (volume up and down keys, power button) until you enter the recovery to upgrade
2. If the upgrade is successful, the machine will automatically restart into the system;
Tip: If there is a problem with the upgrade failure, please check whether the SD card upgrade package is copied to the specified directory and the upgrade package is the SD card upgrade package of the product.

Just did some digging there and actually, you can find a working firmware file 125 for Note 10 online. Chances are even the latest 132 build is there somewhere on Chinese forums...
I'd recommended you to get the bootloader unlocked from the link above, if you have a good idea how to proceed with root? My skills are way too limited, I'm afraid?.
The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Thanks for your reports.
TWRP image file is included in K-RecTools_8e.apk.
Rename apk to zip and decompress it, you can get the twrp.img.
i will be a Guinea pig and see if it works. i should have my bootunlock code from the link above soon and looks like we have a twrp (hopefully it works) from a few posts back. i shall try and download fhe 108 firmware just in case i get bricked. when i get home. will keep you guys posted.
TWRP INSTALLED MAGISK 17.1 FLASHED AND SAFETYNET PASSED. ADWAY INSTALLED, SUCCESS
NOTE I AM ON B132 AND IT TRYS TO GET ME TO INSTALL B132 THROUGH SYSTEM UPDATE WHICH IS 3.9GIG

OK now. I managed to flash TWRP on the phone successfully. However after i tried to flash Magisk, the phone remains unrooted So it's a no for me. Any idea why?
There's a red error stating coming up twice: failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy). But the Magisk zip get installed anyway. So what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: the bloody TWRP is password protected. My pin password doesn't do the trick...
EDIT 2: OK, just removed my lock screen in phone settings, no errors in TWRP anymore. But after I flashed Magisk (no erros again), phone still remains unrooted? What the hell?
What version magisk are you using

I'll see what I can do. The least I can do is to create a brief tutorial how to root this beauty of a phone?.
Thanks again for your tremendous help
Resolved - L29C567B190->Build NRD90M Test-keys-> DLOAD fix fails -> Now Boot Looping
I've been working on the path to have my Mate 9 unlocked, rebranded, and to Pie.
I followed this guide. Not sure why, but I ended up with this:
TWRP Recovery (expected thisi)
Not upgraded to Oreo (unexpected)
Build: NRD90M Test-keys (unexpected and problematic)
I've read that I need to re-install the MHA-L29C567B190 again.
So, I attempted 2-3 times with different downloaded (supposedly MHA-L29C567B190) firmwares to just use TWRP to upgrade. All failed. So, I decided to put a DLOAD directory with the files required onto my SD card and upgrade from the Project Menu.
Of course, I had to reinstall the default recovery to do that. I did that using fastboot.
So at this point, I'm thinking I can do the reinstall of MHA-L29C567B190. So, I did this:
Launched Project Menu (*#*#2846579#*#*)
Select 4. Software Update
1. SDCard Upgrade
Phone restarts and starts the upgrade
I get this message
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I presume I get that error because NRD90M Test-keys doesn't even have any compatible versions. I am certain I downloaded the files for MHA-L29C567B190.
Anyone have any suggestions how I can reinstall the Nouget MHA-L29C567B190 over NRD90M Test-keys?
If I can get that fixed, I can struggle again with rebranding.
Any help appreciated.
So, I went out and studied the rebrand instructions, and finally found that I misspelled the HWOTA directory on the SD Card. So I ran that again.
This time it appeared to be working on the install of the 432 software at the end of the process. But it failed for some reason.
Now I'm in a boot loop. My very first. Should I celebrate my first?
So, now on a search to find how to get out of the boot loop. I've tried the various options I do have from the boots into recovery. Exact naming of process I list below may not be accurate, but you'll probably get the idea:
Tried the option to download latest version and image...failed
Tried doing a factory reset...failed
Tried following the rebrand process once more. same results.
Update on attempt to fix bootloop...
I followed this article to repair. I downloaded a fresh c567b190 file, and copied the update.app into dload. Did a force install per the instructions...it failed.
I had another one from a different download site. It failed.
I tried a 432 file from what I was trying to rebrand to. It failed. I do find it interesting that supposedly same files downloaded from different sites are different sizes. As well, some instructions say to only copy update.app to dload, and others say to copy entire set of files/folders that are in the file that update.app is in.
Beginning to worry this phone is toast.
I'm going to search out other 'remedies'.
[EDIT]
I'm pretty sure that the build showing as NRD90M is causing my problems. I suspect the bootloader is checking against the version and "nothing is compatible" with it. So being in a bootloop with the additional problem of wrong build identification is making this difficult.
I don't know if anyone after weekend will see this and/or have any suggestions, but I'll keep updating as I learn things or stumble onto new obstacles.
I do have some success to express.
I used this thread and it got me booted, into Oreo, and a good build.
BUT...(as always)
The instructions on that thread are to unbrick, and install the rebrand files at the same time. However, during the TWRP Install process (after getting Oreo 8.0.0.046(0409) installed. It was supposed to boot into TWRP after installing it, and do that update.
But, yet another error: during TWRP install attempt, got an error about partition size (don't recall if it was too long or short or what. If anyone needs to know to help me get past this I can run it again).
So, the batch file was waiting at a prompt for me to load TWRP so it could continue. But no TWRP. So I found a TWRP for Oreo, and installed it. I then hit the ENTER key for it to continue, but it didn't.
I loaded Firmware Finder on the phone, and it found nothing to work with it. I have no idea what Oreo 8.0.0.046(0409) is even for, or what region it would be from. Can't find it even with Google.
So, here's what I need help with
What's the best way to get to MHA-L29 C432(Europe). Would it be as simple as adding my l29 model in FF, downloading c432, and installing via TWRP? Another way better?
I think I'm off of the keyboards and phone for a while. It's been quite a chase.
Hopefully I'll get some feedback early next week on how to progress.

I as thinking I had the right firmware, MHA-L29C432B194. But as I think about it, I didn't get that from FF. When I add a model of MHA-L29C432B194 in FF, and search, I find it, but I'm not sure which one I need. I understand I need FullOTA-MF-PV for dload. What is there is FULLOTA-MF, and OTA-MF . I suspect it depends on which method of install I use.
I"m thinking about trying booting to TWRP, and 'install' the ZIPS for the firmware. But I haven't seen confirmation that will work. I don't want to end up in another bootloop.
at the end what u want to do ? tell me ?

I have fixed the bootloop problem from a search that I found a tutorial. The problem now is that it left me on an Orea that oeminfo (cust) is lost. It's not recognized as a valid rom.
I have another thread that has migrated to this topic. I think someone there is gathering tools for me.
I apparently need to downgrade to Nouget, and start over my efforts to migrate to c432, which then will auto upgrade me to Pie. Problem so far at this point is finding a good HWOTA8 file. All searches I find that have links are dead links.
if someone gather it let him work. give me what exacly rom u need, full name
Sorry. I am not getting the email notifications of updates. Apparently sometime in the past, I opened a different account here with my current email. It won't let me update my email address here as it is used in that other account. I've tried the Forgot password thing, but the reCAPTCHA just circles and circles and never lets me make the request.
Back on topic: I got it all worked out. I had another thread on topic of the beginning of my process that was pretty much done. But conversation struck back up, and it continued on to a fix for this problem. It's a bit lengthy, and I learned a lot there, thanks to @zgfg.
If anyone wants to see how this was resolved, you can start at Post # 60 at this thread.
Thanks folks for your input here.
