Can someone help me please ?
you can just download the firmware from asus website. and place it in the root folder. after that restart the phone. i got no update too
When you unlock bootloader, which You have done to flash GSI, your device is automatically blacklisted for OTA updates, so no more OTAs even after flashing stock firmware and relocking bootloader. You can update manually, download latest firmware from Asus website, put it on root directory of internal storage, system will detect and apply update. Bootloader can be locked or unlocked, in both cases it will work.

Oh okay thanks for the information
If your bootloader is unlocked and if you're rooted you won't get the updates you will have to manually update that's what I do. There's a way you can keep root without having to reroot as far as the OTA slot. Download the firmware put it in the internal root of your phone and reboot it will automatically pick it up but if you are rooted you can keep root and update at the same time ota

If you do everything correctly, you won't brick your tablet.
Since your bootloader is unlocked, you won't get the OTA update, so you'd have to install it manually. AFAIK you need root to manually install an OTA update (by copying the dlkpkgfile to /cache and creating the corresponding command file), so it's easier to install TWRP first.
The bootloader stays unlocked when you do all this.
thanks

I've got my FRD-L14 (64GB US honor 8) running stable with B360 firmware (released 02-13-17) bootloader unlocked, SU flashed via TWRP.
I wanted to try the latest B385 OTA firmware flash so I used fastboot to flash my current stock B360 System.img, boot.img, and recovery.img to be sure I am running all stock boot/system files before flashing the B360 OTA.
I rebooted from fastboot successfully and continued with the OTA interface to install latest system update, it rebooted into Huawei recovery interface, verifying, installing, and then fails to verify and install.
Do I really have to lock the bootloader and wipe the entire phone in order to install latest OTA and then re-unlock bootloader, reflash twrp, and restore data ?
Thanks !
Well, that wasn't hard.
I used the "download latest full package" in the top-right menu of the OTA updates screen. This successfully installed B385 OTA update package for me without failure, while bootloader unlocked. Imagine that. I hope this helps someone else! Now, to figure out how to use magisk rather than supersu....

Hello,
It's been many years since I messed with rooting or firmware flashes, so please help me out.
I am currently on 106 firmware on a CLT-L29C605 (latin american model).
I see in the following link that 121 firmware can be downloaded for my phone:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/download-huawei-p20-pro-b121-stock-firmware-8-1-0-121-clt-l09-clt-l29/
I have sent the request to Huawei for a bootloader unlock code.
What exactly do I need to do to flash the newer stock update? I don't care about root or xposed or any of that jazz, just want to keep pace with the latest and greatest stock firmware without having to wait for it to hit OTA (if ever).
Do I unlock bootloader and install TWRP and flash the update.zip? If so, do I need the official TWRP or unofficial?
Is there another way to flash the update.zip?
What's the easiest way to accomplish stock firmware updates?
Help!
Someone knowledgeable please weigh in!
Cant REALLY help you but afaik you dont need an unlocked bootloader for a stock firmware.
That doesn't make sense.
to get the newest OTA update you can use Firmware Finder (It's also available in the PlayStore). You don't need to unlock the bootloader or flash a custom recovery to use FirmwareFinder, but the firmware has to be approved for your device (you can check with Firmware Finder).
To flash not approved updates you have to:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. flash TWRP
3. use this Tool
BUT BE AWARE OF after flashing a custom recovery you can't use the offical way to get OTA updates, because it will boot to custom recovery instead of stock recovery. The official update.zip package has some checks which fail when you use TWRP.
The easiest way to get OTA updates without waiting is to use Firmware Finder.

From what I understand, for locked boot loader, using Firmware Finder to update to latest approved firmware does not work for P20 and P20 Pro on Oreo 8.1. You will not be able to use the DNS or in-app Proxy method to update to the latest firmware.
Thanks for everyone that weighed in. I can now state with certainty that the idiot's best method is to use funky huawei. I emailed them the new firmware I was looking for my specific phone, they added it to their site, and I updated it this morning all in 20 minutes. No bootloader, root or any other drama. Their email support is EXCELLENT as well, well worth the reasonable price of entry.
I'm now on 121a, thanks all.

I can download the newest fw with Firmware Finder, but if I do IMEI check all of them are not compatible.

I have ran in to the same thing. Still searching for a work around without paying for Funky Huawei.
Did you notice any improvements regarding stability, performance or camera with this new version?

FunkyHuawei works for me. takes a little bit of time to set new DNS servers in your router and then reset them after flashing but it has worked flawlessly for me. I have the same 605 phone and updated to 121a without any problems.
hello everyone,
i have S8+ with android 7 installed, not rooted and still didnt get any OTA for either oreo or Pie, so i decided to do it manually but i wanna make sure of the steps since it's been a while for me not flashing anything.
first thing i should know is that this update is going to wipe my phone due to the bootloader update
and about that bootloader update, should i flash pie bootloader first or just flash a stock ROM with odin that includes bootloader file ?
any help with this issue is much appreciated

If you are going to update with Odin flash full firmware. ( 4 files )
As for wiping your phone when you unzip the downloaded firmware there will be 2 CSC files.
CSC - Clean install will wipe your data ( same as factory reset )
Home CSC - Dirty install should keep your data
Always do a backup before doing anything.
Note: Make sure after you upgrade your firmware to update your apps so that they will be comparable with new firmware.
So I first bought my Samsung a11 as an android 10 model,
I then flashed it after I bought it with an open-line android 11 version and got twrp and root. This was a year ago I think.
Now they released the final update for this Samsung phone model, and I want to at least get the latest and last version of my phone.
But I kinda forgot how to do the procedures again.
So my question is does flashing the new android version firmware using odin remove TWRP installed on my device?
my phone model is: A115FXXU2BUJ2 (android 11)
the firmware I want to install: A115FXXU3CV13 (android 12)
if so what do I need to do in order to successfully have both the new firmware I want to install and twrp installed on my device? (i kinda know how to root using twrp and magisk so no problems here)
Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes, flashing the update via Odin will remove TWRP and root, it will also, more than likely, lock your bootloader, then you won't be able to reinstall TWRP or root the device unless you unlock the bootloader, if it can be unlocked.

If the bootloader in the update is a securely locked bootloader, it will probably have locked bootloader after flashing and might not be able to be unlocked. That was the whole point of me warning you in my last post. Now I've had to post again just to say the same thing that I already said. I guess I was talking to the wind.
There is no way to know what the results will be after updating unless you find someone that has already updated the exact same model number of A11 or bite the bullet and update yours then see what you get.

I see, looks like i need to find someone who have done it and see if it works. I didnt get what you mean about after flashing, it might have a chance to lock the bootloader depends on the update. I think ill just try and see what happens. Thank you.
I dont know guys with that phone but there should be a tool that bypass auth and unlock the bootloader in any case. I ONLY knows MTK devices, not sure about that samsung i use a .Bat file.

No, I said that after the update, it could cause the bootloader to be locked and then may not be unlockable from that point on. It depends on the bootloader in the update. If this happens, you will be unable to install TWRP or root via Magisk. That is why you need to confirm whether or not flashing the update will relock the bootloader during the flashing process and, if it does, whether or not it can be unlocked again after the update.
In other words, look at exactly what you are about to jump into before you make the jump because you might land in the one place that you absolutely do not want to land.
