[Q] Zenfone error while updating

I have a Asus Zenfone A450cg, Recently I've been trying to update my firmware to v4.4.0 by OTA, but it always fails while doing so, So i tried to downgrade to Version 4.2.3 by flashing system.img.gz but again it fails to update to v4.3.4, i have also tried by manually downloading the firmware from the asus support and Putting it in Internal to Update but still Unsuccessful, So how do I update to the latest update now ??, If anyone has a system.img for the newest version would you please share it here ?? Please help.

U can try flashing the latest firmware using adb tool that might work for you.

Try flashing by adb or download raw file flash it via default recovery by selecting sd download( copy raw to microsd first )
Then try update by zip

[P8 Lite] Updating the huawei p8 lite when it rootes

Hello,what going to append if i update my rooted phone on B136 to B170 because i readed that if i update with OTA Update my phone can go in a bootloop. Thanks for the answer.

It might be possible. Do not update ota when you are rooted. Download the latest firmware from huawei-updates.ru for your specified model, take the zip into your sdcard in a folder named dload ( you can create it if you dont have it) and go to updater, local update and select it.

Thanks ! and like that I'm not gonna have any problem ?
And and I can directly go to B170 or not?

I made that you say but didn't worked ... thanks for the help .

Keep it in that folder and try to force update by powering down your phone and power it up pressing vol up+ down and power button

Thanks it worked !

No problem sir, here to help

Nooo! don't know why but my phone go to a bootloop.... tried everythink....

Hmm, try to plug in it an usb cable and flash an old firmware for it trough adb.

Can you give me some link to do that ? and thanks !

U need adb toolkit, a version of b170, search on huawei-updates.ru , prefferably the european version. Get huawei package extractor and extract from update.app found in the zip of b170, system.img, cust.img, boot.img,recovery.img. and flash them one by one in fastboot mode. If not, if u had a nandroid backup made with twrp u can restore. U can search google on a detailed guide to do that, as I may induce you in error, not a native explainer talent here

Or you can extract it and flash automatically all in one clic with a script(for all firmware )

I got to beta 6.0, installed twrp, root it, but it did not permanently, uninstall some system app (google+, maps, etc) after a few reboots superSU was asking for binaries; so I unroot it.
How can I get back to stock recovery? And if so, If I make a factory reset, would it boot correctly for a new setup (because of the erased apps earlier).
Thanx mates, regards

Unable to boot into Nougat 7.0 or MM, NEM-l22

Bootloader : Unlocked
Recovery : Revolution Nougat Recovery for p9 lite
Device : GT3 NMO-L22 (NEM-L22 oeminfo flashed)
So I've soft bricked my phone pretty much, I have tried plenty of methods to try and rollback to MM but have had absolutely no luck. I have been able to flash boot images, recovery images and system image files extracted from nougat update.app files and marshmallow update.app files but the phone will hang on "device is now booting" .
Either the dload method will keep giving errors or the extracted files wont work I have tried flashing some roms but still nothing. sort of dont know what to do but would flashing another devices oem info help to install update.app files via dload method ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers

take image files from b100 update.App

Hi i got exactly same problem as your, i tried everything for like 8 hours and nothing successful, then i tried "Huawei Multiool" and flash recovery for honor 5c emui 5.0 then i rebooted my phone and it works i was ****ing happy because twrm not work for me
Sorry for my english
btw it doesnt depend whats your model there are also custom recoveries for p9 lite

links please Ive found links for both suggestions but not sure if Ive found the right ones thanks

Update : Okay so I need help still guys and didnt want to start another thread but I still have been unable to find an update package that will install using dload method. Please help I've tried everything including extracted img files using huawei update extractor. like i said in the op i dont know which update to download as I have tried alot and none of them seem to be doing the trick. please any help would be much appreciated
Edit : Have also tried the recommended fixes but none have made a difference unless im downloading the wrong files of course every single update file gives me the same error using dload method "incompatibiltiy with current version please download the correct update package"

so after what i thought would be an impossible fix i've finally found my solution, I dont know if this will work for everyone else but its definitely the easiest method I found through trial and error and trying way to many other methods i was hoping would work but here it goes.
Through the twrp 3.0.2 recovery recommended above I flashed hw_EU.zip recommended by user DRUGER in another thread for changing firmware to EU NEM-L51
after that I simply downloaded both the update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip for NEM-l51C432B120 and extracted only the update.zip file and placed the update.app file in a dload folder on the root of my SD card
I then wiped every partition apart from internal storage, oeminfo and sd card.
After that I tried to flash the update.zip giving me error 7 but I ignored it and then went on to flash the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip after that I wiped the cache and powered off the phone.
After that I used the 3 button method to go through to the update mode and for the first time ever I was able to install the update with no hitches, I am now on B130 build and honestly couldn't be happier I tried so many different firmware recommended everywhere but this was the only method that worked for me, It may not be the original model firmware and it may not work for other people but it worked for me so Im glad.
Also I may have made some unnecessary steps along the way but its better to include everything I did in case someone else decides to give this a try Im just happy to have a working phone again

Hey I need Nem L22 OEM can you please share here?

Fixed your device?

Just the device with proper OEM you can dload with proper update. App of yours oem.
After dload, not booting, all you need is to reboot to stock recovery and giving it a factory reset.

Messed up root attempt, now without camera themes and basicly all stock huawei apps.

So i messed up root, now im without huawei stock apps.
What i tried: TWRP flash update.zip, update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip
dload failing with message: Cant update software or something like that
I am on EVA-L09C432B391
Can someone help me? Who can help me succesfully gonna get some paypal as Thanks.

If you updated from b386 to b391 by OTA, you should have had all apps.
For rooting b391 with SuperSU, the following method should apply (still not affecting Camera app and so):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258
and by using TWRP for Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
Did you make complete Nandroid backup before rooting - if you did, you can simply restore everything
If you restore boot and recovery partitions to stock (you can extract them from b391 as downloaded by FirmwareFinder, by using Huawei Update Extractor), you should be able to rollback via c900b300 to c432b182, and therefrom OTA will bring you to clean b383->b386->b391.

You can install update.zip and update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip via TWRP, then it should work

First download Huawei update extractor
Download firmware finder
Download the right firmware from firmware finder
Extract the ROM
Using the Huawei update extractor extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Flash them via fastboot commands
fastboot flash xxxx xxxx.img
Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

The PRA can only be updated via OTA from the system. With a lot of luck, the recovery via wifi works via eRecovery.
Boot so into eRecovery:
Connect to pc, or charger, vol.- press and hold power until writing appears, then release the keys. After a few seconds the eRecovery will start.
If you didn't succeed, follow these instructions: Threadupdate: 2018-01-04
