Installing newest stock on rooted honor 9 - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
Probably been discussed before, but I couldn't find all the answers I need.
I have honor 9 STF-L09, version STF-L09C432B100.
The phone bootloader is unlocked, rooted and have TWRP recovery.
Sorry for the muiltiple questions.....
I want to update it to the latest stock ROM (I have no problem wiping the memory).
I thought about using HuRUpdater tool, is that the best method?
I couldn't find a 'Global' ROM version, which should I choose?
Will I have to do incremental update with this tool?
Do I must change the recovery to this one? is there a better version? Do I need the capacitive touch fix (I didn't have any problem with capacitive touch).
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

They 're no public nougat proper recovery working with HuRUpdater. The one you linked is for oreo.
So i guess you'll have to :
- flash back STF-L09C432B100 stock recovery
- then update tje normal way to oreo via OTA
- if not getting OTA, you could force it with android apps 'Firmware Finder' to update to STF-L09C432B183. Then you should finally got the normal OTA update to STF-L09C432B364.
This process should not mess with your flashlight or caoacitives buttons.

I am already on B100 and its recovery.
Since I'm rotted with TWRP I can't get OTAs (I do but it doesn't work)
What is "tje"?

Can you please elaborate, I have no idea what you're talking about and how do I force OTA?
Thanks

I think "tje" is just "the" . I think you have to start with clean device : stock rom ( in this case stock recovery too : flash back STF-L09C432B100 stock recovery ) and update with Firmware Finder, to 183 first, 364 after.
ADD : for me, just my way, don't hurt me if I'm wrong : ) I open FF, select correct rom , hit button " get an update trough dns " " auto", go to parametre / update , system find the update, go back to FF, close it, update still DL, sometimes , when finish , update can't start, so I reboot my device, return to parametre / update and it's ok.

twrp is a custom recovery and you need to have a stock recovery for OTA update to work.
So : 'flash back STF-L09C432B100 STOCK recovery'
You could get it by using windows app 'Huawei Update Extractor' on the file 'Update.app' included inside the firmware file 'update.zip' 's STF-L09C432B100.
Don't mind your root access: you'll loose it during the update.

just a typo in place of 'the' ; like your 'rotted' in place of 'rooted'

Because you state that you're getting the OTA notifications : You won't have to FORCE them. So don't bother.

So you're saying I need to extract the stock recovery and flash it using fastboot. /then I will update normaly via OT to the latest version.
Then I need to re-root and reinstall the custom recovery.
Did I understand you correctly?
Where can I find the STF-L09C432B100 firmware?
Many thanks

Yes.
Yes.

It's C432B120 but its stock recovery is the same as B100.

---

Thank you all.
I flashed the stock recovery and managed to OTA update all the way to the most recent version.
Now I need to find which custom recovery is appropriate for new version

Thanks. I did that, it works
I already asked in the post you linked. bit do you knwo what's the difference between "fastboot flash recovery" and "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk"?
I did as instructed in the OP ("fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk"), but I can't load TWRP from power off using power button + down button.
TWRP does load when using "adb reboot recovery_ramdisk". Is that the reason?

wrong keys combo for recovery mode on huawei/honor phones :
From power off, using power button + up button will give you recovery mode.

Hey everyone,
last month I unlocked and rooted my phone, then used this tool to put on the newest firmware (at the time 366). Now, I'd like to update to the newest firmware (368). Is there anything special I need to do or can I just dirty flash it per see? Do I use the FullOTA-MF files or the OTA-MF files?
Thanks in advance for your help.
