Hi,
I'm trying to debrand my chinese version of Huawei Honor 7 (PLK-TL01H) to European Version (PLK-L01).
As i'm already in Marshmallow version, i should do the following:
1) Downgrade to Android 5.0 PLK-TL01H B190
2) Root the phone thanks to honor 7 MultiTool
3) Flash PLK-L01 B180 version via 3btn force update
4) Flash PLK-L01 B370 version via force update.
I'm trying to rollback (first step) with the file update.app that is B190 version. But i'm already struggling:
1) Force update with *#*#2846579#*#*->select Software Upgrade->select SDCard Upgrade
2) Force update using local update option in settings doesn't work (the option is not available)
3) 3btn give me access to TWRP and not to Force update option (recovery)
I also tried to flash stock recovery, then force update works but stuck at 5% with no error message.
Any idea how to rollback to B190?
Thanks,
Flash the stock recovery of B370 (I assumed it's your current rom) by using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command.
After that, downgrade to B300 and install PLK-TL01H B190 (if your brand is not plk-l01). If it's, first you need to install PLK-L01 B180.
Hi,
can you just be a bit more specific and detail me the steps and how to do? Thank you,

Does flashing stock recovery and force updating gets stuck at 5% using 3 button method?
If yes, I had the same problem, I booted into Android and used the *#*#xxxxxx#*#* method and it worked ok.
May be you can give that a try....

Hi guys, I wanted to install CM13, so I decided to unlock the bootloader, root and then try and flash. But that didn't go as expected, as I wanted to have my fingerprint sensor working, I had to upgrade from MM, but I had LP installed. Here's all I did, in order (remember it's a KIW-L21) :
-Unlock bootloader
-Install TWRP 3.21 and rooting using this guide
- Then I realized I couldn't upgrade from LP. So I tried to revert using the TWRP backup in this guide
- Then I did the official OTA update to B140
And now I'm in bootloop. Any ideas on what to do? Did I brick my phone ?
I can still access recovery, but it's the EMUI recovery, so all I can do is reboot, factory reset or wipe cache. Not much help from that.
Bump.
Okay so I got into fastboot mode. Any ideas on what I should do ? Put back TWRP ?
You need to flash the full stock ROM.
Tuto in French: Fichiers et liens utiles pour le Honor 5X KIW-L21
Thanks a bunch mooms, I had managed to find the Huawei Update Extractor to flash the images by searching for "bricked" or "bootloop" on this forum, but I was unsure of which stock ROM download.
Another question, is it okay to flash the stock B330 if I was on the B140 before ?
Flashing the full b330 should work.
If not, try to flash b130 or b140 first , then b330.

If it was on lollipop, it is best method to flash a Full Lollipop firmware package instead of Marshmallow.

The stock recoveries are towards the bottom of the post. You can use Rashr or flashify from play store to flash. I prefer Rashr personally.
I just noticed you said l21. Sorry these are for l24

your phone must also pass the system partition check
you need an untouched system.img so you can revert to stock
If you want to avoid all this in the future it's quite simple
before doing anything to your phone with the phone turned off
plug phone into PC / hold volume down + power to enter the bootloader
from the PC command prompt use
fastboot boot TWRP.img
after it boots go to Backup and backup
Boot
Recovery
system (not system.img)
cust
oeminfo
efs1
efs2
firmware
modem
Save this backup to your PC so you can restore it for the next OTA update
Note: when restoring for the update only restore Boot / Recovery / System
the rest of the files are just in case something happens to your phone and you need them.

Hi, if I install TWRP and then do a complete backup will it backup my stock recovery as well or is there another way to backup the stock recovery?
P.S. I already have the backup of L22- B340 and when restored it doesn't get back to stock recovery. I'm completely clueless about how to extract the stock recovery.

now am having stock rom EMUI 3.1 on KIW-L21C185 B140 (middle east variant) with stock recovery and root enabled.
previously using TWRP as recovery. never installed custom rom.
despite using stock recovery and stock rom, ota update failed during update (failure happens 25-30%)
i dont have an untouched system image for KIW-L21C185 B140 (middle east variant), if flashing this with TWRP solve the issue please provide link.
TWRP backup need to done after only update right?
what if i install "stock rom + stock recovery" using twrp? if it will be working please provide file link.
not sure both are same. used to do this way on samsung s2.
ps : while in recovery mode after failed ota update failure it asked for a recovery update. and recovery update is also failed due to some failure to gather information. sorry for missing the exact reason for recovery update failure. stock recovery installed from the file you provided.

no you boot recovery.img so you can backup stock recovery
your backup was done after TWRP was flashed ... stock recovery is overwritten when you Flash TWRP
Their is a collection of Stock recovery's in the File Depot. If you have one that's not in the list please share it with the others

Unroot, do a factory reset and try to apply update again.
If that does not work, you can always try a force update.

The official way:
1) You will need to download and flash stock recovery
2) Download firmware finder and download update that you want
3) Create dload folder in internal storage and copy update.app which you downloaded via firmware finder
4) Type *#*#2846579#*#* on dial pad and perform software upgrade from SD card
Unofficial way:
1) Download one of Speedo's stock based ROMs for example this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/development/stock-b390-twrp-t3723635
2)Wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then install the zip via twrp recovery (maybe you will need to wipe data)
Desperate help needed to go back to stock (Mate 10 Pro EMUI 8 TWRP & MAGISK) BLA-L09
Hello there. I'm used to Samsung devices and the more I read about Huawei devices the more lost I feel about them.
So, my Mate 10 pro BLA-L09 is currently running Build Number 8.0.0.131(C782). It is rooted with Pretoriano's TWRP and Magisk (Using the All-In-One tool). Of course, I can't get any pending update installed. I would like to receive that EMUI 9 update. I've read people have been successful using HuRupdater and some others ended up with a hard bricked device. Some other people suggest the safest option is to uninstall Magisk, flash stock recovery and let the phone update itself.
So far, I've downloaded the same full 8.0.0.131(C782) firmware I'm on from Firmware Finder and downloaded Huawei Update extractor to extract the recovery from UPDATE.APP. However, instead of having one recovery file to extract, there are 3 Recoveries (named: RECOVERY_RAMDIS, RECOVERY_VBMETA, RECOVERY_VENDOR) and another 4 E-Recoveries.
Can anyone please give me some step by step guidance on what to do? I'll Paypal you a beer if I'm successful with the help.
Cheers!
May be you can simply dload the firmware and then it should be full stock if dload works. Dload guide is given in my signature

Thanks! But I think dload won't work with custom recovery, right? I'm on TWRP. And getting stock recovery is just what I'm trying to achieve.

Dload replaces your twrp and custom boot both. It will bring back your phone to full stock. Else you could extract the images from your firmware and then flash. Let me give you the commands.
Thanks! I just fixed my issue by flashing this through TWRP: it Installs the Oreo stock recovery.
The procedure was:
-Booted into TWRP
-Uninstalled Magisk (by flashing Magisk Uninstall Zip)
-Flashed the stock recovery (from the link below) through TWRP
-Reboot
-Check for system updates, phone will install them with no problems
Phone will be unrooted and will have stock recovery. Don't know if this will work for every stock build, it worked with mine 8.0.0.131(C782).

I was getting the command ready for you. Glad you fixed it yourself
[*]Run the command to boot to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
[*]On fastboot screen, you will have bootloader state as Unlocked and FRP Unlocked.
[*]Flash the stock Recovery Ramdisk as
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk <Recovery_File_Name>.img
[*]If you have installed magisk, flash the stock boot ramdisk.img as
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk <ramdisk_File_Name>
Hi all.
I have Honor 9 (STF-L09), I successfully rooted it right when I got it (TWRP + Magisk), even manged to flash stock recovery a few times to get OTAs and re-root again (all updates were EMUI 8.x and Android 8).
Now after performing the latest update, I'm on EMUI 9.1.0, Android 9, Build 9.1.0.210(C432....).
I can't find Pie compatible TWRP. I tried patching the stock recovery (with Magisk) and flash it using fastboot (as always) but Magisk will not install.
I had, the first time I rooted the device) decrypted it. I have no idea if the update re-encrypted the phone.
1. How can I know if the phone is still decrypted? if it isn't how do I decrypt?
2. What is the easiest way to root the Android 9 version?
Thank you

On 9.x pie boot partitioning changed. There is no more ramdisk, and magisk boot is done by booting a patched recovery of your actual installed build (recovery_ramdisk).
Use splitupdate or Huawei Update Extractor to get it from UPDATE.APP inside base.zip of your actual installed build.

No, but I no longer have TWRP after the last OTA in order to check.

Tried it, but Magisk Manager says it is not installed.
I got it to work.
My mistake was after flashing the patched recovery_ramdisk I pressed up+power to get to recovery (as the instruction stated), but I had to release the button the second the Honor logo appeared, and so the phone booted via Magisk.
I saw this in the instruction on the other site.
It works. Thanks
