Hello Guys, I need some help: I installed Resurection Remix v8.6.6 with the fw V12.0.7.0.qjgeuxm and would like to update it to V12.0.8.0!
The Rom is encrypted, however!
What steps do I have to carry out to cancel the encryption and flash the new firmware?
Many thanks in advance
greetings
H0rdak
if you only want to flash firmware 12.0.8 flash this in recovery and you don't need to do anything else, reboot to recovery just to be on the safe side, then reboot to system...
on the other side, if you want to reflash whole 12.0.8 SW base, that's another case...
THX JERYLL, you're a great help again !!!!
Okay, I mean, I transfer the FW zip file to the phone and install it via Orange Fox?! I still did not understand that with the encryption as explained in the RR thread! Can I easily flash the ZIP file?

yes either download or transfer, then flash in recovery, I did it yesterday, so its safe to do
thanks jeryll,
i have done it now and the system has displayed an error message at the vendor! Do you know whether the update was successful anyway, and where can I read which fw is now installed on the phone ?!
if you did flash only firmware part of 12.0.8 you can't see it in system as a regular update as you only updated drivers which allow to communicate between SW and HW, so when you start up OFOX, on its initial screen you can see the number of the last flashed whole MIUI ROM (for example if before flashing custom ROM you were on MIUI 12.0.6, then flashed RR 8.6.6, now updated only fw part of 12.0.8, your system will still be shown as 12.0.6...
If you are hunting this new number 12.0.8 and not pure functionality, you'll need to reflash full recovery version of MIUI 12.0.8 EU, that will reflash most of the needed components on your phone including vendor and product and then you'll see that number in OFOX. But because in the process your original custom ROM will be overwritten with MIUI, you'll need to reflash RR + GAPPS + Magisk too before you reboot in to system...
Thx, but can I assume that the update has now been carried out successfully, even if this vendor error has occurred?
what vendor error? if your system is booting and working ...
its said: "Failed to mount '/vendor' (invalid argument)" , writen in red !
if it's not showing permanently, all should be okay
Thank you Jeryll !!
Jeryll, a last question that has nothing to do with the firmware topic in itself: My RROS (8.6.6) is encrypted. If I want to update to 8.6.7, should i decrypt first or can I just flash the new update via recovery?!
just dirty flash 8.6.7 over 8.6.6 and reboot to system, check if playstore is working and if magisk is present (optional depends on you using google stuff and root) if needed reboot to recovery, reinstall gapps and magisk ... that should work... I was unable to do clean flash of RR on decrypted storage...
Jeryll, you made my day again !! Many Thanks!!!

Hi guys
So i created quite a mess here..
Device:
Mate 9 L09C432
I had RomAur B197 installed.
Then i tried to somehow get to oreo.
I was able to flash the newest oreo stock firmware with HWOTA tool and it worked but it was unrooted & locked i guess.
So i unlocked it again and flashed twrp 3.2.1-0 fromfuture edition.
Seems like the data was decrypted, i just saw strange filename, so i wiped data, what actually helped.
Unfortunately this somehow broke the system and starting the os caused a bootloop.
Then i discovered that MTP was not working in TWRP so i flashed TWRP 3.2.1-0 by Pretoriano80.
With this recovery MTP was working so i tried to flash an OS somehow.
I tried to flash the stock firmware again with HWOTA8 but it failed at the update.zip
Manual flash in twrp also fails for that update.zip.
I also tried to flash a treble rom from a german forum.
After that twrp was not starting anymore (bootloop).
So back to twrp by fromfuture where MTP is not working, good that i have an SD card.
And i once wiped system because the space was 0mb after that it was fine again.
TWRP gives the following for the update.zip file:
Code:
...
write radio image...
check_write_data_to_partition,write data error update_huawei_pkd_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed.
E:unknown dommand [errno]
update process ended wit ERROR: 9
Error installing zip file...
So yeah im a bit out of ideas..
Any ideas are welcome
Thanks
Your mistake is trying to flash a custom rom using TWRP. Most treble/Oreo roms can not be flashed with TRWP. Upgrading to Oreo changes the partitions on the device and that may have caused your issue. My advice would be to download the Huawei update extractor and your current firmware. Open up the extractor and extract the recovery ramdisk. Flash the stock recovery via fastboot. Once you have the stock recovery back. Download the Carbonromv4 from openkirin.net and flash that. That you should get you back up and running. Search XDA for how to install a generic treble system img or check the support page on the Openkirin site for instructions.
Thanks for this advice, everything worked
It was that easy but I just didn't know before..
anyways thanks a lot!

Glad to hear it worked for you! The treble roms work really well and if you are looking for a better camera try the P20 camera port. You will have to re-flash TWRP to install it, but you can then flash the stock recovery back.
Hi there, can someone enlighten me how yo flash custom roms?my device already unlocked bootloader and i know how to flash cuz i play with xiaomi mi5, sams galaxy3 , sony x8.
For now i dont have a twrp. Im going twrp by fastboot before this.
Im really sure that i already go through all of the post. But seems from OB10 is really complicated.
1.ready fastboot twrp, bluspark twrp,roms, gapps and magisk( if necessary) and custom kernel
2.fastboot twrp by cmd or else
3.wipe what here? Or just factory reset and leave internal storage?
*Here i confused, do i need to wipe for both slot. Im still new to a/b partition. And do i need to do that for both slot to flash as steps 4-10 as below?
4.flash roms then bluspark twrp
5.reboot to recovery
6.flash gapps,magisk? Then twrp back?
7.reboot to twrp
8.flash custom kernel then twrp again?
9.reboot system
10. End right?
Please help me here. I cant find the real and proper steps. The only way i found is from OB7 to custom roms as they share same security patch.
Thanks for any help.
1. Flash any strock rom.zip partition A.
2. After that recovery.zip
3. Reboot back to recovery
4. Confirm you are in another slot B
5. Flash stock rom.zip. Which slot first is not important.
6. After that flash recovery.zip and then reboot.
After that you can install whatever you want.
That what I do if im switching roms and trying new stuff.
Working everytime.
Until OB7 and stable 9.0.2 I used fasboot roms, flashed via AIO tool, but new fastboot roms working different and I got laggy video and audio.
Okeh thats clear for both slot. But for OB10 to any customs rom is it needed to flash OB7?
What do you mean by stock rom?bete rom or stable rom?

Stock any offical rom for OP6
9.0.2 or 9.0.3 or any OB3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
If you want custom rom, look instructions, there is mentioned what is base rom. That you need flash.
If there is custom rom based OB7 then you need flash OB7(probably working lower builds also)
Thank brotha. I think they need to state which firmware do we need to start from. Otherwise it will be like me that confusing as they will patch up more and more security.

Pie ROM, pie firmware. (Except pre release betas)
Oreo ROM, Oreo firmware.
ROM - always flash latest firmware of the OS you want pie or Oreo (I always go for latest and don't have any issues . Tho I'm back to oos ,debloated now.)
Twrp - Always after ROMs, before roboot.
Gapps - after twrp and reboot, to make sure it installs to the right slot, that's why you install twrp and then reboot.. this will change your slot from A to B or from B to A. Manual switch is never necessary
Flashing gapps flashes to the slot you are in right now, so flashing before the first reboot (after twrp flash) Will get it to the wrong slot.
Magisk - if you want root. After all.
After all this you can, if you want, flash decrypt ..if you don't need your device to be encrypted,this Will give you more to think of tho.. let's just not go into this now.
i understand the process, but get confused at which file to specifically flash twice when they say
"latest firmware of the OS". So lets say the custom ROM i want to flash needs a PIE firmware 9.0.2 or higher,
what file am i supposed to flash?
9.0.2-PIE-OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_027_all_1810260000_d46787d2c9-FASTBOOT.zip
or
OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_027_all_1810260000_d46787d2c9.zip
Hello guys, i have a question. What is the proper way of flashing miui updates from twrp. Atm i am on 10.2.2.0 but a new pie udpate has been released and i want to update to it. Also, do i need a certain recovery? I am on pitchblack atm.
I just don't want to brick my phone. Thanks in advance.
You can flash with no problem.
But after flash you lose twrp (it will be stock recovery). Need it reflash.
I successfully updated to pie, but a problem emerged. I can no longer flash magisk. Flashing magisk results in a bootloop and when i uninstall it from the recovery, the phone boots normally.
Any suggestions?
Did you flash that zip "lazyflasher"? For the dm verification thing.
I have been struggling to install Pixel Experience Android 12 on my Poxo X3 NFC.
I had PE Android 11 before. When I tried to flash Android 12 I get following error
assert failed: update_dynamic_partition(package_extract_file("dynamic_partition_op_list"))
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file ...
What I tried
1, Install latest firmware
2. Format Data
3. Wipe data, dalvik, cache
3. Sideloading Custom Rom
Can someone help me to revive my device please?
Thanks a lot
Hello, on my wife's X3NFC I had to flash the latest Full ROM (12.5.7) via Fastboot.
Then I was able to install the lA12 PE. I don't know why I had to do this, but it worked.
She didn't like A12 PE and now A11 PE is running again on her Phone
Maybe (I heard about that) it works too, if you only flash the super.img from latest Fastboot-Image via Recovery.

I installed MIUI fastboot rom. Then I tried to flash PE A12 rom without any issues. But after successful completion, phone reboots to bootloader (Fastboot). Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Can you please give me steps to install PE after you've installed MIUI fastboot rom?
1st installed latest MIUI via MiFlash
Booting successful into MIUI
Flashing TWRP in Fastboot-Mode
Booting into TWRP, install ROM, wipe Caches and format data.
Reboot Phone

SmartJewel (Post above you) told you how to do it
So, I rooted my phone, for which I needed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. Now, when I want to install an update on my phone, it downloads and when I want to install it, it jumps to TWRP recovery instead of the phone's recovery, so I can't update my phone. Does anyone know how can I install the updates from TWRP?
Else, reinstall the default recovery. (Only the recovery, not the entire OS since that would un-root my phone)
Thanks.
Edit: After it boots to TWRP, it apparently tries to install the update, since I can see it on the log, but when I reboot my phone it has not installed. It errors: "E3994: This package is for "2169B" devices; this is a "". Updater process ended with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip file '/data/ota_package/OTA/.otaPackage/my_manifest_RMX3370_11.F.04_3040_202302282047.44.36402b59_all.zip'
Edit 2: After failing to install it, it prompts me to re-download it and re-install it, but it jumped from ~500MB update to 4.76GB update.

I read in telegram channels, this twrp: https://www.pling.com/p/1922292 support installation latest zip. but I haven't tried.
one more thing you can do is ( may loose data)
1. restore twrp backup for recovery partition ( if you don't have backup. search recovery.img in upgrade zip )
2. reboot to recovery to check stock recovery is installed
3. install update
4. then follow steps to install twrp and magisk ( root again )

Your guide is incorrect and will definitely put the device into bootloop.
** The twrp link that you shared doesn't allow system updates to install, it is just a A13 compatable twrp recovery.
1) What if that person has not created any twrp backup of all system partitions? According to his explanation, I'm pretty sure he has not created any backup of the partitions.
2) only flashing recovery image and installing the update will again put the device into bootloop because as confirmed by the OP that his device is rooted and due to root the boot image of the device gets modified so it will put the device into bootloop.
3) unless the OP has stock boot and recovery images at his disposal he should not attempt to install the update to avoid bootloop.
** Kindly avoid sharing incorrect information you aren't sure about the correct procedure.
procedure that I follow to flash updates :
1) in magisk - uninstall magisk - restore images
2) boot device into bootloader and flash stock boot and recovery.
3) boot device and install update.
4) put device again in bootloader and flash twrp and within twrp flash magisk and reboot.
I haven't found any easier way than this. If anyone has, kindly put it below.
There's a way
