Dear all,
This is my 1st post in XDA developers. And this is the first time I use Android system on a smart phone named Huawei Honor U8860. I learnt from websites and I know how to install ClockWorkMod. After installed stock rom from Huawei China (China site). I found out that I can't install any rom after that (always Update Failed). So I decided to format all the thing on my phone by using ClockWorkMod (/boot, /sdcard, etc...) and now my phone starts on blue screen and I realized that there is no image folder on the folder (the folder that you put recovery-v8.img file to setup ClockWorkMod). Now what do I have to do to bring back the recovery or someone please send me the image folder and guide me how to install rom for the phone since there is nothing left in my phone!
Regards,
Paul
Download orginal GB 2.3.6 from international Huawei site.
Make dload folder on root in memory card and put the UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, don't leave it out) inside the folder
Start up phone with volume up/down pressed while pressing power button.

I tried, and it seems while installing the package, the update failed, what's wrong with my phone? I did not have any problem when I upgraded my firmware before the time I use the stock rom from China
What error?
hi, i can help you
download this:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyODk=
install as a normal upgrade, than, installl any offycial rom and you have your honor fixed
This rom is the exactly rom that make my phone stuck in this situation, so do I have to install it back on my phone? Install the rom back to the one that harm me then apply this update?
@DeuXGod: Update Failed while installing firmware after unpacking
no, you have to install the file that i posted first, than install the rom! the file is the fix provided by the huawei for the failure updating of the original roms! flash the file first, and than, flash the rom!
edit: if not work, try this other : https://rapidshare.com/#!download|309p5|4238175827|UPDATE.rar|0 , unpack rar, make a dload folder in the sd card, put here the update app, and flash like a stock rom, later, install the official one
Thank you Paul! Now I find the solution for this, at first, if you installed the 2.3 Chinese rom that post on Huawei China (the first 2.3 rom posted on 2012-03-08)
It will prevent you from install ANY OTHER roms, so if you want to install another rom, there is an update patch for this one (the one that paul89... has posted above).
After that you can freely install any official/stock rom on Huawei Devices.
And for the users that format everything(/boot, /sdcard, /system, etc...) and your phone show up as a blue screen instead of pink screen when u press the power button (yeah there is no image folder in recovery partition).
Download the 2.3 stock rom from Huawei China (above)
Get your SD card out of the phone, using the USB/SD card converter tool to plug it to ur PC as an USB, copy the rom (dload folder in the zip) to the card.
After that, plugin your SD card to your phone, then press Volume + - and Power and the phone will go straight into upgrade firmware.
Then use the Paul89 patch that I've shown above, copy the dload folder to your SD, remember to delete the old one, use storage upgrade function of your Android to apply the patch. And now ... you can freely jailbreak the prison of stock Huawei China rom
And sorry for not linking your URL, this forum always ask me for the Image Verification even I Multi Quote ur replies
for nothig if i can, i help
SUTL?
Maybe a bit late, but in my experience, using SUTLR to flash ROMs (official/custom) works the best. It overwrites & updates everything (i.e. if you have CWM, it will be overwritten) and you will have the phone just like you got it from the dealer.
SUTLR? what is this tool?
-edit: googled, software update tool.. ok, but its only for official roms?
Dear rammy,
This is the first time I use android system on the phone and I found out that it's much complicated comparing with iPhone and I don't know any tool to use with it

You can use it for any ROM that comes in .nb0 format. Since most custom ROMs are in .zip format you can use it mostly for official ROMs. However, there are other custom ROMs (such as on andro-id.net) which come in the .nb0 format.

1. SUTL is quite simple to use. You can download it from the net (latest version is v1.8.2). Install it (works only with Windows) and you are ready to use the application.
2. To use SUTL to flash your ROM, boot your phone in download mode (i.e. where you have the message - Incoming Download Mode polling) when you boot.
3. Connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. The device will get recognized and Windows will attempt to open the folder (similar to when you insert a pen drive). You can close this window
4. Start SUTLR. Click on next and using the Browse button, navigate to the .nb0 file. The file must be named firmware.nb0. Click on next and the screen shows the progress of ROM installation. DO NOT DISCONNECT TILL COMPLETION
5. Once the ROM is installed, you need to remove the battery to come out of download mode. Restart the phone and the new ROM will start up.
Note: Please take backup of data and/or ROM (including recovery.img). SUTLR will replace everything (i.e. it will even unroot the phone if you flash an official ROM)
Hope this helps. I am also a beginner and this "guide" is based on other posts as well as my experience.
yes, but the isnt .NB0 roms for our u8860..and offycial rom are not .nb0, but .img..so how do you have installed offycial rom in your honor?

I've reached that stage, what should I answer to the questions about :
1. Restore original boot.img
2. Restore original recovery.img
I'm guessing a "NO" would be safer since they were modified and we're restoring anyway...ok did that.
ok, all good, although I did have to reboot my W7 computer to disable digital signing to install the Qualcomm drivers.
Thanks again, will be useful to upgrade to N on May 17th !

Quick question, do you see any problem in flashing the recovery.img from your 5_K53_S123_170216_ROW_STOCK.rar ? I've just found out that you could easily remove the password locks by booting into TWRP and that's making me a bit nervous. Thanks !

According to net sniffing with latest rom, system updater apk can succesfully checks server and running.
There seems no problem.

Ah, So You've rooted your 6.1 Plus/X6 but don't know how to Install stock or having troubles with it? I'm here to help!
*All of the instructions and procedures below requires an unlocked bootloader. If you do not have an unlocked bootloader, Please refrain from asking about it here.
*Not having an unlocked bootloader and following this will definitely brick your phone. You have been warned.
Installing Stock ROM - Method 1A(Nost) --
1. Get NOST from here - NOST
2. NOST ONLY SUPPORT OREO FIRMWARE, USE OST LA FOR PIE(Not sharing cause its a patched app, Search on Google and get it from TechMesto)
3. Download unpacked oreo firmware, You can get it from - Here
4. Extract the zip on your PC
5. Put your phone in bootloader mode, Power off - Press Volume Down+Power Button.
6. Now connect it to your PC
7. Open NOST, Select the .mlf file from the folder where you extracted the Firmware
8. Now select, Normal download and Erase User data option.
9. Now click on next and wait for NOST to flash the phone. (It takes 258 seconds or 2.3 - 2.5 minutes on my laptop)
Installing Stock ROM - Method 1B(OST LA) --
Same as NOST, It has the same UI.
Except You might have to change some values in the .mlf file.
An appropriate guide for the same - Here

3. Extract the Firmware

I don't see any option to restore stock images or install to inactive slot in Magisk. Am I missing something?

Open Magisk Manager, Tap on Uninstall. You will see 2 options, Complete Uninstall and restore stock images.
*Nevar tap on the complete uninstall option, It will throw your phone into bootloop
To install to inactive slot, Tap on install, You will get 2 options, Release Notes and Install. Tap on Install again and select install to inactive slot, Reboot from within Magisk Manager.
The simplest way I've found to install Stock Rom is just using adb sideload.
Boot into TWRP and wipe as you would with any custom rom.
Go to advanced and adb sideload.
Send the adb sideload command from your computer with the relevant zip file.
Doesn't require any additional softward like NOST or OST....

But does it also install the bootloader and stock recovery back? If yes then I'll add it to the post above.

That's a good question. I've just been using stock and hadn't considered it. How would one check that?

It's easy. Get an OTA .zip file, Re-Boot to recovery and flash it. Or Use the ADB Sideload method.
Most likely installing the OTA would fail if the device is rooted because, Magisk will patch the boot.img.
Then I'll need to wait for another update, the September one, right? Because I installed it with ADB and have Magisk installed so I don't really want to mess with it until I have to.

I just took an OTA with Magisk installed it went fine. (September patch)
OK, then it doesn't seem to work. Trying to follow the steps, the system update gives an installation error. I'm guessing that somewhere along the road I've messed something up, so it seems stock rom and Magisk isn't an option for me.

Restore images before you do anything, If installation fails keep trying again. It happens to me to.

Really? I did the restore via Magisk and that seemed fine, but then the update part didn't work. It downloaded then gave the error so I quit and started again with a fresh installation, minus Magisk.

Have you guys modified the system/vendor partition in any way? If you did, Then it will obviously fail.
@Bluebriz and @Hymix I agree. It's the september security patch causing the installation issue.
It fails for me no matter what, Unless I completely un-root. But this method works perfectly fine on the August update.
Lets see for the October patch.
Okay, I can specifically narrow this down to way the September patch. The september patch requires the August security patch as a precondition to install. And that's where something funky is happening.
Guys a quick update. October update has been released but it also fails to install. This time I've managed to find the cause, Apparently some service that needs to be used for the update is being blocked/used by Magisk. (I could be wrong here)
The error code according to the recovery is 20(kDownloadStateInitializationError)
Is there any update to this issue?
Tried removing Magisk, didn't help.
Yesterday I got November security update ..iam using magisk...so it is showing installation problem...I tried in recovery and ADB method both didn't work.. finally I ended in bootloop ...so I again installed stock ROM...any solution is there without resetting each time how to install security updates..coz each time my data balance was wasted??
This guide will show you how to root your Nokia 4.2. This has been tested on TA-1157 and is working fine.
**Important** - If fastboot does not recognise your device In step 5, You need to download a driver. Here is the link: Download Driver (by Beebom)
Search up how to install custom driver and install it to the “Android” device.
Requirements:
Nokia 4.2 with unlocked bootloader
USB Cable
ADB/Fastboot.
Python
Your current ROM file
Internet.
Downloads:
ADB Installer (by Snoop05 on xda) : Download
Python : Download
Payload Dumper (vm03 on github): Download ( Click on code and select "download ZIP")
Magisk APK (on your phone) : Download APK ( Scroll down and you will find the APK file)
Code:
** I have only tested this on TA-1157. Other models may not work, but technically they should work.**
** Your warranty is now Void**
Step 1
Enable USB debugging on your phone. If you do not know how to do this, Search it up. It is easy.
Once that's enabled, Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop and open the command prompt (cmd) and type adb devices. It should show your device in the list.
Step 2
Locate the Python folder. To do this, simply type "python" in the start menu and click open file location. Then, Right click on "python.exe" and open properties. Then click open file location.
Once the folder opens, make sure to not close it.
Download the payload dumper.py which I have linked in the downloads section. Extract it and place the contents of the file in the Python folder.
Step 3
Download the ROM file. If you are using lineage OS on your Nokia 4.2, Download that file. If you are using the Stock rom, Download that. It should be a .zip file.
Extract the stuff from that file and take payload.bin and move it to the python folder.
Now, Open cmd in that directory by right clicking and opening cmd. Then, Type the following commands,
Code:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
then type,
Code:
python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
Once it is done extracting, Open the "output" folder. There you will find the "boot.img" file
Step 4
Use your USB cable or Google drive to transfer the "boot.img" to your phone. Once you have done that, Download the Magisk APK on your phone and install the app. (APK link in downloads section)
Once you have installed Magisk, open it and click "Install". Select the file from your phone and wait a few minutes for magisk to patch the "boot.img" file.
Once Magisk is finished patching, there will be a new file which magisk has created. Transfer the patched file to your computer via the USB cable or Google drive and make sure to rename it as "magisk_patched.img"
Step 5
You are almost done! Open CMD in the folder where you saved the "magisk_patched.img" and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then type
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Once done, Reboot your phone and Voila! Your phone is now rooted. Make sure to open the magisk app and check it.

Personally, I do not recommend Kingroot as it is not very reliable and safe. Instead, you can follow this guide or follow other guides on youtube.
