Recently Huawei released the official Marshmallow update for Honor5x. I followed the update from setting but only to be restarted and brought to TWRP recovery without any updates. So, I downloaded the updated manually ( so I can flash via TWRP ) only to find the update is not in .image but .app, which means TWRP won't be able to flash the update.
So I took alternatives to install back the stock recovery from Huawei, which I succeeded and I got back my Huawei Stock Recovery. I then try updating via setting update, it downloaded the update, and installed it via stock recovery. But halfaway updating I got ' System Failed to Update '. I suspect it might have to do with my Cyanogen Mod that I installed 2 months ago.
Any idea how I can update to official Marshmallow?

Download latest firmware on a PC, use huawei update extractor to extract boot, system, Cust and recovery images.
Flash them in fastboot mode and then do a forced update.
(UPDATE.APP in dload folder in root of SD, turn off phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until boot)
YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR APPS AND DATA so make a backup before doing this.

Download you phone's stock firmware(refer to the file depot thread). After that, use Huawei Update Extractor and extract the files in update.app, you should get system.img, recovery.img, boot.img and flash them all using fastboot.

did you read any of the other threads about updating with TWRP ?
it's hard to help people when they don't tell you anything about their phone.
do you have a KIW-L24 / L22 / L21 or something else ?
did you try and find the correct update and stock recovery for your phone in The 5X File Depot ?
Did you read the how to return to stock so you can take updates ?
I can help you, but you have to post useful information and you have to try and find answers that have already been posted

If you flashed stock recovery you no longer have TWRP
to apply the update.app you put it in a folder on your ext_sdcard called dload
then power off the phone and power it on holding volume + and volume - and Power
this will start the flash from the dload folder

update.app is not corrupt it's encrypted you can't open it without a special tool

@clsA: I'm in the same boat with my L24 Kiwi lol...where do I get the L24 update.app? I have the OTA+update+to+B151.zip from your file repo. Can I put the file as named into the dload folder and reboot into recovery, do I name it update.app or do i need special tools to go into the zip and get the update.app? On a MAC if that helps in your answer.

if you have an L21 and the update failed it's difficult to recover
if you have a different model their are other ways to fix your phone
to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

clsA has made it simple enough for me in his previous posts in this thread.
Here is what I did....
- I downloaded the B151 stock recovery from clsA's Honor 5x file repo LINK HERE and in his signature and flashed it via fastboot. To enter fastboot look at post #14 in this thread.
- I downloaded also the B151 stock rom [Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L24_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_C567B151.zip] When you open this zip you will see the dload folder.
I was unable to adb push to the SDCARD so I had to use a card reader to move the dload folder to the root of the SDCARD.
- Once the dload folder is there you can hold down the key combination in step 2 of post #14 and the once stuck at 0% EMUI loading screen will count up the stock firmware install.
Hope it helps you returning to stock

Can you describe bricked?
You just need to flash recovery(extracted from the latest firmware of your phone), make a dload folder in your SD card, copy UPDATE.APP to this dload folder.
Turn off your phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone reboots, let go of power at this time but hold the other two for 5,6 sec more...
Your phone will boot into recovery and start a forced update means all the partitions will be rewritten.
If it does not work, please let us know but it should

OK. Define brick....do u mean it won't boot at all? If your phone can boot normally, in recovery or in bootloader, it isn't bricked. Bricked is where u can't access anything. U might be experiencing a soft brick. I suggest u return to stock.

If u got b310 stock before, try using b310 stock recovery and then use Update.app from stock b310, that should make your phone go to stock b310 with stock recovery, then u can update your phone yo desired firmware or Rom

Yep, flashing recovery, boot and system does not have any effect on user apps.
System apps will be restored to their original state but your data and user apps remain the same. Did it multiple times.
Still, keeping a backup is always a good idea.

You'll definitely need the recovery for the firmware your running, so if u got b180 you'll need b180 recovery and then b371 UPDATE.APP
i have it. and it started to flash so it could be system partition. but i dont remeber that i changed something there
oh i got it
1. recovery
2.recovery2
3.boot
4. system
images restored
then the update OTA restarted?

Should I wait till you get home then?
only for one's that can't update via ota
Firmware zip. Copy to external sdcard and boot to download mode. Must Rename to just 2Q3FIMG.zip
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A658TDayIzxzduRqGe01L-czKvJi74G4/view?usp=drivesdk
System.img must flash with fastboot in download mode after installing firmware.zip
I flashed the OTA and the system img numerous times and now my phone just goes into constant bootloop. Basically It shows the message that "bootloader is unlcock" etc and quickly reboots like 20x before powering up at which case it's extremely challenging just to power it on.

I downloaded the zip file and remammed it what you specified, put the phone into download mode. I accept the flash and it flashes correctly. Then I fastboot flash system and that appears to go correctly. until I boot up the phone and am stuck on a bootloop. Interestingly enough the phonse says software has been modified where before it said oficial. I didn't flash any roms but I did have twrp and magisk. not sure if that means anything

Mine says modified but I think that's because of flashing firmware zip with nougat software. I'm going to upload a patched boot.img I want you to try it first to see if it resolves the issue. It will only take me a second
As you know, TWRP still doesn't support FBE, so in-case if you wanna flash another system.img the Wipe data/factory reset in TWRP wouldn't work (at least didn't work for me).
That would force you to get back to stock recovery, which allows a successful factory reset.
Steps are pretty straight forward, if you already have a backup of your stock recovery just do the below steps, if else you could download one from the below link.
Put the device into fastboot mode. There are two ways to do that.
1)By long pressing the power button and volume down button whilst the USB is connected.
2)Just do a adb reboot bootloader command if you could boot into the system.
Then just do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
Then disconnect the USB and long press the power and volume up button until you see the "The device is booting now" message.

- Stock recovery for BKL-L09
Thanks, you saved me.
Thanks
Just created a md5sum of your recovery and my backed up recovery. It's exactly the same size but the md5sum is different.
A quick look with a hex editor also shows some big differences. Is that expected?

MD5 hash wouldn't possibly match, because the backup was taken using dd and there might be some config files modified or added when I used the stock recovery once. But, hey the thing would work if you have BKL-L09 device
Thanks. This works!

Not sure, as it might check integrity before giving updates. Just download Firmware Finder app and check for updates constantly.

You will receive the updates but you won't be able to install them with TWRP. Simply flash the stock recovery and the updates will self install when they come. You'll have to root again with Magisk after the updates, but that's a simple process.

Hie,
How can I get back from lineage OS to stock using this? I guess I'm on the same boat as a lot of people out there and could really use some help here. I'm on Cosmos OS and can't go back to stock. I tried flashing this recovery.img but can't figure out a way back.
Reboot to bootloader, flash system recovery_ramdisk and ramdisk. Reboot to recovery wipe cache, reboot system enjoy.
Works every time fine for me

Wildfire, can you please help me with the commands? I believe there's an inclusion of ramdisk in the commands now.

Apparently, there isn't any system.img file in the Indian firmware I downloaded. The rest are there but not the system.img.
Someone please help me out
I can't flash system.img as I was told in an earlier reply, it returns me an error that says 'Error: Cannot load System.':crying: I tried using -P and 256M commands to see the space divided and none of these worked either. CAN SOME PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS?
I cannot find system.img in the Indian firmware either, that is making things tough for me.

You should have made a backup before you started "tinkering" with your device. Lesson learned, hopefully.

I cannot help you as I do not have your firmware or know anything about the Indian version. Where did you get this firmware from?
