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.

Hi all
I'd like to convert an ota update package from .zip to boot/recovery/system images i googled it for sometime and cant seem to find any helpful info on how to do it.
First off im using GR5 KII-L21 and before i started this journey i was @ android 5.1.1 the updated manually -used this- to android 6.0.1 then flashed twrp onto my phone and then rooted it. while i was tweaking and modding i messed something up and as usual i didnt make a twrp backup before i started playing with my system. and twrp always fails to install the update package i used to get from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 and im stuck
I got a twrp backup for the gr5 kii-l21 somewhere from here flashed it and im back to 5.0.1 now a new issue arises when i try to update via ota to 5.1.1 the update always fails with "software update failed" message and i cant find the local update option to use the 6.0.1 update. So i got myself one of them kiwi 6.0.1 update.app and extracted the boot/recovery/system images and flashed them via adb. Now im on 6.0.1 again but still cant see the local update option in the updater app. It works and everything but it feels wrong somehow. The updater app is trying to update the 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 even tho its on 6.0.1 now.
If its not possible to convert the .zip update to images .img I'd like to have the original 5.0.1 for the GR5 KII-L21 with boot and recovery images or as a twrp backup and i'll work my way from there, thanks.

it's my thread bro lol :laugh:
okay it's not a full rom it just an update to mm based on lolipop
Thx for the help. Now that CM13 supports fingerprint sensor im moving to it instead.
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.
Hi friends.
I have a doubt about what is needed for a correct OTA installation in official ROM.
For example, I was in 20s, fresh install, no root, and with twrp then an update appeared for OTA, the 23s, I did it from the update icon, it was about 1.8GB, even with the TWRP, it was installed normally, the TWRP was replaced by stock recovery. I flashed the TWRP again, and flash SuperSU too.
When I was in 23s, an update prompt appeared, the 26s, I did it by the update icon, it was about 500MB, after it downloaded and went for install it booted on TWRP but nothing happened, so I flashed stock recovery, and did the procedure again, it said installation failed.
So I don't know what I am missing? Do I need a special recovery, do I have to be unroot?
Thanks for your help.

You don't need special recovery. You need stock recovery for official OTA update which is 26s. If you try to update official ota with twrp nothing will happen.
by the way how did you get OTA even after root?

When I was in 20s CN I was without root, just fresh install, so I did OTA to 23s, then I rooted. Now I can't do the OTA by the update app, I think it is because of the root.
OTA because of root? Strange!? it was booting in twrp?while flashing 26s

Well. I unrooted, and the same problem EUI Update Failed Cause: Installation Failed.
I did many tests, but was not succesfull.
Anyway, I restored my 20s CN version, and then the OTA prompt for 26 appeared, when I was in 23s the OTA for 26s was about 500MB, now from 20s to 26s it was around 1.8Gb, and worked. Now i have the 26s CN.

You can only update full ota updates via TWRP delta ota can't be flashed via twrp that's why 500 MB 26S failed via twrp ( 1.8GB is full update, if you skip any delta ota next time you'll receive full ota update), so if you want to update delta ota you have to install stock recovery and most times you need a factory reset or complete wipe.
The strange is that I was on stock recovery pm 23s, evento like that the OTA oficina 500MB didnt work.
Hi,
same problem here.
TWRP was recovery. My solution:
First I replaced TWRP with stock recovery ("hxxp://xxx.leeco.re/topic/1942-updatedofficial-stock-recovery-lemax2_x820_x822-enus" (I'm not allowed to use links as new user...)) but TWRP was still there as "app". So I flashed s23 (with file manager, named as "update") again. Here it works.
Then I flashed the update.
I have been sitting here all day searching on xda. I have the L24 running a nougat custom rom, went to flash an update for twrp, rebooted, no twrp, now i get the "download EMUI recovery" message. I am at a loss what to do, searched and searched, can someone point me to a thread I am not finding? I thought I could just reinstall twrp via fastboot but for some reason i get no response via command window on pc when phones connected. I have never had to post on here asking for assistance am hoping I did so correctly.
Just download the full firmware for your model and flash via dload. If you have not heard of this, there is a quick guide in my signature for dload method. Good luck. Let me know in case need more help
Thanks, I ended up reflashing Twrp via fastboot.

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
