Need stock recovery from B609

Hi
Does anyone have the stock recovery from B609 ?
I rooted my phone with Kingo root and it installed a custom recovery which doesn't work. Won't boot in it.
Thanx!
le: If you have a rooted B609 you can make a backup of the recovery with Flashify

It doesn't work. I get the white screen message with boot failed and to press long Volume down or Power. It looks like the img you provided is the same size as the one I extracted it from UPDATE.APP with HuaweiUpdateExtractor last night.
I think that img you get from HuaweiUpdateExtractor is not really an img and has to be unpacked further more..
CWM works btw...
If you have rooted B609 can you please try and make a backup with flashify ?

I dont use CWM to make backup,I use repacked TWRP for Emui 3.0.My curent fw is B.616 but without Google stuff and Huawei c..p,just some apps that I need.

How are you flashing this image? Flashify? Use fastboot.

Flashify is not good for installing stock recovery,you must flash over adb or you always end in the bootlop.

ALE-L21 Bootloop after OTA last night?

Hello all,
I've rooted my P8Lite L21 using the custom recovery method, flashed the supersu.zip, then restored the original recovery.
Yesterday I had an OTA and now phone reboot once during system boot, and at the second time it hangs during boot.
What can I do to recover this? I have stock recovery, and when I try to VOLDOWN+POWER it never goes to fastboot. (last time I had to use adb reboot-bootloader but now I can't reach system\adb..)
Can you help?
Thanks, cheers,
pHk

Hello,
You can boot to fastboot with this method:
Connect phone with PC then power off
Now push two buttons VOLDOWN+POWER+MicroUSB now you can install any stock ROM with fastboot commands and suitable *.img(boot.img, cust.img, system.img)
P.S
What OTA(number) arrive to you?

Worked like a charm Thanks a lot! I don't know the OTA number.. Still can't get into system :|
I'll try flashing TWRP from here and then i don't know which rom to use.. I'd like CM12 but i'm not sure its supported.
Can you suggest any stable ROM ?
Thanks

It's Portuguese\Europe, Single SIM.
I'm downloading "Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 V100R001C432B171 (Europe)". Is this flashable from fastboot? Yes, i'm unlocked. Does it need the hiSuite or fastboot.exe will suffice?
Thanks Sokkoban, you're being of great help and I'm thanking all your posts

Yes, I know this is single SIM. But, why do you say that I need to downgrade to B052 and then OTA? Can't i flash the B170 directly?

If you don't see any problem, I will try to flash B170 directly, since my bootloader is already unlocked. What do you think?

OK
Try this. Use Huawei update extractor in forum xda have link to it. Open the UPDATE.APP and extract the following files: Recovery.img, Boot.img, Cust.img, System.img
Then use fastboot commands to flash B171 ROM
I wish you success!

Hi there,
I have a similar problem: bootloop!
I'm comming from B170 and installed 7 HD 1.2 ROM and got some errors, I thougt it would be an good to go the long way to B008 or better B010. After so searching I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64483642&postcount=43
- did not step 1 an under-pressed flashing recovery in step 2 and 3, thought I could yet use TWRP.
Obviously, that was the mistake.
At step 4 I recognized that I have to do step 1 to go on.
that worked an I copied the update.zip to internal card, initialised the update.
Not sure it got to 100% but think so.
Result bootloop, can't get to recovery, only fastboot
Tried to flash every thing: B052, B170, and 136a, even the boot.img and recovery.img of B010 and B008
no errors but still bootloop.
PLEASE HELP!!
is there a full version of B080 somewhere to flash by fastboot? or any options to flash the update.zip of B080 again?
All other proposals are welcome!

First 7 HD 1.2 ROM work only over the B010!!!
Second in this archive have the instructions to install Beta B008 why you not did everything described in the instructions?
Third when install stock firmware RECOVERY must be original not TWRP!!!
Now you must install stok recovery, make hard reset then install B052
After that you can install every stock firmware for your region! or follow the instruction to install B008=>B010=>7 HD 1.2 ROM

Hm, this is very strange!
What device do you have? and which region use?

adb reboot recovery --- says: error: device '(null)' not found
if I try with serialnumber
adb -s W3D7XXXXXXXX reboot recovery ---- says error: device 'W3D7XXXXXXXX' not found
but ---- fastboot devices ----says at the same time: W3D7XXXXXXXX
---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

So B170 worked in the first place

Try this method and ROM
May be you must use google translator because tutorial is for Bulgarian people

TWRP Problem (black screen)

Hello everybody. I need help with my Huawei P8 Lite.
The bootloader I have successfully unlocked and can also access Fastboot on my system. If I flash the TWRP file (both versions and another tested) and will then start the recovery menu appears briefly the Huawei logo and then the screen remains black.
Normal startup and boot into the bootloader goes Recovery menu does not start. I have both tried to boot directly, and only normal restart. Developer options and Debuggin is on and seems to Fastboot to run everything correctly (several times so that the system was brought back on track)
The data of the mobile phone:
Model Number ALE-L21
Build number ALE-L21C432B574
Android verison 6.0.0
Before Marshmellow Update:
Build nummer ALE-L21C432B204
Android version 5.0.2
Can you help me maybe?
THX and sorry for my bad English.

Flash your original recovery using abd if you don't have original recovery.img you can extract it from UPDATE.APP using Huawei update extractor( you can download it from the link that I have given below it is in TWRP section) then install twrp from this thread. It's working I have tested it.

Hello, any news on this issue. I've the same. Flashed twrp with unlocked bootloader and enter into twrp results into black screen.

I have the same issue
I have tried to flash via fastboot and flashify app. Both don't work for me.

Have you tried the latest release? (Uploaded yesterday). It's at the TWRP V3 thread, it might work for the ones that face issues.

Since you have TWRP I guess you somehow deleted all the files ....
If you have a backup file (created with TWRP) you should be able to return to a previous state.
I had a problem intalling official builds, after installing a custom ROM.
You could try to install a custom ROM, like sokkoban's (very similar to the official one).

this is the link for sokkonban's ROM. This is for ALE L21 (Dual sim if I am not mistaken). He has made some other custom ROMS for other models. You can check them out if you want, but I suggest you use chrome with translate extension.
Good luck!!!

If I am not mistaken you can enter fastboot mode even without operating system. As for the 4th requirement, I think it's not essential since you can flash the zip file through twrp.

If you want to install a custom rom you can install it through twrp. If you want to install the official build (which is very messy with emui and I do not suggest that unless you get to the service center - or anyone else can provide a working guide) you must install a custom recovery.
In my opinion, you should install a custom rom (for instance Sokkoban's) in order to have an operational phone and then find a way to install the official build.

It's weird. Try to install TWRP 3.02 again.
Then try sokkoban's ROM (the one with SU preinstalled). As long as you have the european model (C432) it should work. You should be patient, it might need more than one tries.
An other option is to try setting it up from the beginning:
go to this thead and head over to chapter 5 and install the EU dual sim files.

Also do not forget, when in fastboot mode, you use the fastboot command, not adb.

Can you explain how you got it? I'm on VIE-L09C432B360 and I receive an update to B370 but when the download finishes, the phone restarts and when TWRP tries to install the update I got an error (which I can't read). My guess, the update fails because of TWRP. So I want to reinstall the stock recovery. Can you explain the steps you followed? Thanks in advance.

No problem! Haha, lucky timing, I was about to head to bed.
Anyways, you will need Android-SDK platform tools, Huawei Update Extractor, which you can download here, and the CURRENT firmware file of your device, which you can download using Huawei Firmware Finder here. Here's how you do it...
1. Find and download your firmware using Huawei Firmware Finder. Go to the common base tab and enter your CURRENT build number in the textbox labeled "Model for find". Under the "type" list, find the one that says "FullOTA" and click the link under the "Filelist". This opens a new window with a list of links. Open the link that ends with "update.zip". That will download your firmware.
2. Open the zip file and extract the file called "UPDATE.APP"
3. Open the Huawei Update Extractor, and drag and drop the "UPDATE.APP" on the window. You will see a list of files. Select and right click "RECOVERY.img", and click on "Extract Selected" and set your file destination. This is the recovery software.
4. Once it has finished extracting, simply flash it as you would with TWRP.
Hope this helps! Don't be afraid to ask if you need more help.

Yep! That's how you flash the recovery.

Thanks. I hope you had a nice sleep.
Anyway I did it via flashify, but what I get is eRecovery and I think it's not the same as stock recovery.
Sorry to bother you again, but options are not the same than stock recovery. In eRecovery you haven't options to wipe, only download new versions and reboot/shutdown. As I don't know if stock recovery has been properly installed, I don't dare to install the B370 update.

Hmm, obviously that's not right... Have you tried using ADB to reboot into your recovery? Try opening a command window and try typing in "adb reboot recovery". That's usually how you get into your recovery other than turning on your phone by holding both your volume up and power button until you see the recovery screen. If that doesn't work try flashing again using adb instead of Flashify.

Everything working fine. I'm now on b370 and I have reinstalled TWRP. My next step, reRoot. Thanks again. I've learned a lot and practiced my rusty English.

Hi @mechasnyper
I'm on stock B360, rooted and twrp installed. I got an update of B380 and as described by others I was unable to update through twrp. I tried your method, downloaded B360 firmware through FIRMWARE FINDER, when I opened "UPDATE. APP" in update extractor, I got two images of recovery "RECOVERY.IMG" & "RECOVERY2.IMG". I extracted "RECOVERY.IMG" and flashed. Everything went fine recovery flashed successfully.
After that I started OTA update. It started flashing but it is giving me error when reaches at 5%. Kindly tell me what is wrong?
My variant is: VIE-L29C185

What error does it give you?

Hey all, I'm in a similar situation in that I'm trying to restore stock recovery in order to receive the new B386 OTA update.
Problem is, I'm on B385 firmware and the last version available for download is B384. Does anyone know if it would be possible to extract the B384 recovery and flash that, or is that just a really bad idea?
I'd really rather not do a factory reset all for the sake of a Google security patch

After giving up last year I came back to try again and everything worked smoothly. Don't know why I had trouble the first time!
To anyone with a rooted device who wants to go back to receiving OTA updates, just follow mechasnyper's instructions and download the full firmware zip for your current OS version in Firmware Finder, extract and flash recovery.img, and hey presto.
Now to just sit and wait for the L29 Oreo update to arrive
