Hey there I got a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime G610M on Android 8.1.0 Stock Rom, I recently tried to root the device and installed a custom recovery such as TWRP and then Unofficial Lineage OS with success, and some other roms like TRR treble edition and pure edition, I didn't liked because it had some deal breaker bugs that make me go back to Stock Rom.
Downloaded Odin and a firmware for my device from sammobile site, flashed just AP, BL, CP and CSC (no HOME_CSC), device booted fine and everything on device is working good, as long as I can tell. But today, I booted into recovery just to wipe cache like I always do every once in a while but I noticed something different. At the bottom of the recovery I am getting the following text:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery_Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
E: unknown volume for path [/odm]
E: unknown volume for path [/vendor]
E: unknown volume for path [/odm]
E: unknown volume for path [/vendor]
I don't remember the device having this error before so I think it may be something that needs attention, but I can't find a solution for this since every post I found was about users having a boot loop and my device is working fine. Does anyone know how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!
Extract the stock recovery.tar and flash it via Odin. Or flash TWRP, whatever.
Thanks for the reply, I don't want to use a custom recovery anymore so I would choose to flash the stock recovery.tar but the rom I downloaded from sammobile doesn't have a recovery.tar file, before I google and download some potential files that could damage my device, do you know any official site to download this recovery.tar file? Thanks!
Attached a screenshot of the files I downloaded from sammobile
Edit: Nevermind, I found it on the AP file, I got the recovery.img.lz4 convert it into recovery.tar using 7zip, flash it with Odin but sadly I still get the same error.
Convert to tar? Just extract the recovery.img out of the lz4 file. Compress it with tar, flash it. Or flash TWRP, then flash recovery.img from it.

Yeah, I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/convert-twrp-img-to-tar-for-odin-easy.3355944/ and I flashed the recovery.tar successfully with odin but didn't worked, I will try to flash TWRP again and then flash recovery.img from TWRP directly, hope this method do something different. thanks for your time!
Tried installing TWRP flashed recovery.img with success but still the same error, I will continue to look into this, hopefully someone else got a new solution. Thanks anyways for your time!

At the root file system on my Android phone, there's a file called default.prop. Right now that's a non-standard file because of CF-Auto-Root, but I want that file to be the stock version (1).
After what I have understood, /default.prop file is overwritten on every boot from a default.prop file within the boot partition.
My phone is rooted with CF-Auto-Root, but I've replaced the boot and bootloader partitions with factory image versions:
$ fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
But still I get the non-stock default.prop file. What am I doing wrong?
(1) This is because I'm trying to upgrade to Android 5.1, and right now I'm getting an error because "this device has google/omni_hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.4/KTU84P/eng.dees_troy.20150214.172938:eng/test-keys".

Don't bother messing with reverting everything just to update, it is extremely unlikely to work since as of Lollipop Google has changed the OTA method to check the sum of the entire partition rather than only what it cares about.
Download the 5.1 factory images, and flash system.img, boot.img, cache.img, radio.img and bootloader.img (don't flash userdata.img unless you want to wipe all your data), then boot into a custom recovery and flash the latest SuperSU (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu).

Hello
I unlocked my bootloader, then installed CWM, rooted then installed unofficial EMUI 4 ROM.
But I was EMUI 3.1 before...
So my Honor 6 didn't work after that and never couldn't boot the ROM
When I try to install CWM again by Multi-Tool, flashing error says that I need to check the confirmation dialog on my device but I cant't access to my device because there is no ROM :|
I installed EMUI 4 stock recovery and now what can I do for reinstall the rom -_-
Is there any way at all?
Have you tried downloading EMUI 3.0 stock ROM and using the three button method after placing it on your SD card? which is power + vol up + vol down?
In order to get back to full stock ROM follow these steps, since you already flashed recovery of a build number I don't know, do it again by following the procedure:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
Enjoy your out of the box device..!!

Hi Digicoon,
I tried your method to restore to stock ROM after successfully installing KangVip Rom.
Actually this custom rom was intended for Mate7, but beeing a simple port from Honor6Plus (as stated by the developer) I installed on my device without any problem. The only thing I noticed was that my device was no more a Honor6Plus PE-TL10, but a DUK-AL20 which I think is Mate7 model number, right?
The ROM works good but I wanted to revert it back to stock.
Anyway, I tried downloading the kitkat stock rom for my Honor6Plus (it should be PE-TL10_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B260.zip) , extracted the UPDATE.APP and the four files you stated above, flashed them via fastboot and then put the entire dload folder inside the root of my SD card.
The phone hangs on the boot screen and then boot loop... no way to restore it.
I reverted it back to custom rom (via nandroid backup), even tried to flash the stock recovery.img to use the "Three buttons method" but with no luck, every time it stucks on boot logo and bootloop.
Do you have any idea what could it be? Maybe a "partitions" problem, due to different model number?
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas
Also work for rooted L04 (TWRP) back to lollipop?

Does this also work in my case?
I have a rooted L-04 with TWRP and the latest b831-software. Now that I realised GPS is not working anymore I want to go back to Lollipop.
Has anyone tried it?
Thanks for your help.

Hey guys,
I was using a NXT-TL00 with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 and I wanted to change to a international ROM with Nougat and EMUI 5.
My current situation:
I unlocked the bootloader.
I can boot into fastboot and flash twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img
I can boot into that TWRP and flash MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip. (Thanks again, paulcl!)
I can boot into that ROM and use it.
I changed my oeminfo and custom.bin from TL00 to L29 via SRKToolHuawei. Afterwards I had to unlock the bootloader again.
I tried to:
extract various update.zip (update.app inside of the zip) via HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5.
flash the extracted boot.img, recovery.img, system.img via fastboot manually and SRKToolHuawei.
wipe and format data, dalvik, cache, system in- and excluding reboots in every possible variation.
use different TWRP versions.
However:
I can't boot into stock recovery (even after flashing it).
I can't boot into eRecovery.
I can't flash any update.zip oder other ROM besides the one above. Why?
Using eRecovery or stock recovery won't work since I can't boot into it.
TWRP would print this error:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
mountencrypt: failed to mount /data: No such file or directory
Removing unneeded files...
Patching system files...
Removing empty directorys...
Unpacking new files...
add link typ file...
write radio image...
check_write_data_to_partition, write data error
E:unknown command [errno]
update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/NXT-TL00C01B575/update.zip'
I can't flash any system.img via fastboot. I would get this error:
fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (452422 KB)...
OKAY [ 13.007s]
writing 'system' 1/6...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 13.045s
What I want:
A fully working TWRP so I can simple flash an update.zip
A working (stock?) L29 ROM with Android 7 or 6 and Emui 5 or 4 and preinstalled GAPPS.
A working stock recovery and erecovery
OTA support
the possibility to lock bootloader when everything else is working
What might help:
A ROM which won't touch the data partition so I can install it trough TWRP.
Maybe there is a way to put the system.img into a flashable zip-file so I can flash the partition via TWRP so there won't be the error message from fastboot. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that. An TWRP doesn't allow to flash system.img directly.
BTW:
My current model number is: NXT-L29
My current build number is: "NRD90M test keys"
EMUI-Version 5.0, Android Version 7.0
Thanks for reading through my text. It would be great if there is someone to help me out here!

I already found a solution which is not perfect yet. First, I tried to follow the instructions from
How to install NXT-L29C432B560 (Official) Stock Firmware. (Guide with download links) by sillanwali.
Very helpful for me was post #49. I recommend to read through the first post and then coming back and follow the instructions below.
First, you need:
TWRP 3.0.3 (...3 is for Nougat)
this update.zip
MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip
The procedure might be too long with redundant steps, but it worked for me. So give it a try:
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp via fastboot(3.0.3 is for Nougat)
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.03.img
fastboot reboot​
Boot into TWRP
Copy update.zip and MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip to SD.
Wipe>format Data>yes
Wipe>Advance wipe >data, dalvik, cache, system
Install this update.zip linked above.
Try to reboot into system. Mine didn't boot into system, but stock recovery and erecovery are now installed. Go on!
Flash TWRP again (since it's overwritten by stock recovery. No worries - you now can now easily flash back stock recovery).
Boot into TWRP.
Copy MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip to SD Card.
Again, do a full wipe.
Install MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip.
Reboot into system. It now should work, however it's the Chinese version.
Extract the update.zip and copy update.app to a new created DLOAD folder on the SD Card.
Do a factory reset.
Flash the stock recovery via fastboot (or TWRP). You will get the image by extracting recovery.img of update.app with HuaweiUpdateExtractor.
Reboot into recovery to install the update.app (automatically).
Now you should be on NXT-L29C432B560.
If you want to use the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip or SuperSu follow the instructions in the How-to-install guide.
To be clear, I still have a few problems:
erecovery would boot but when I am trying to restore via wifi I will get the error: "getting package info failed"
Bluetooth and NFC are not working.
Maybe someone has a solution for that?

I downloaded the Latest AOSIP fastboot package to flash my X2 but sadly there is no super.img instead there is the old system.img. I tried to install it into Super by fastboot flash super system.img but the phone failed to reboot.
Now, I am back to my stock ROM and Recovery. Any ways I could fix this?

Don't think too much. Just follow the instructions from aospa thread.
yeah I need to flash stock rom because because my current rom is kinda buggy I downloaded the stock rom from a site and it contains these: boot.img, dtbo.img, metadata.img, recovery.img, super.img, userdata.img, vbmeta.img, vbmeta_samsung.img and fota.zip
I'm guessing it's either super.img or userdata.img because they are the biggest files please let me know
A Stock ROM typically comes as ZIP-file and gets flashed by ADB Sideload method: TWRP isn't needed for this.

I suggest you to flash using fastboot.
Safe and secure.
