I read here, somewhere, that you need stock recovery to do the update. Since I have flashed another recovery (and rooted and installed Xposed), I'm not sure if I can update to EMUI5.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure how to do the update. The update (b351) is available in FF and checks out as "compatible", but I don't know what the install procedure is. Especially without stock recovery.
Any help or info is much appreciated
yeah, you should flash stock recovery thru ADB and thn try updating...
Not adb but fastboot

Thanks a lot. Any help, perhaps, on where I get that. And the recovery mentioned above?
Oh, and why is it not possible to flash the ROM like if it was a custom one? Just wondering

That you may need to find your own. Well in custom ROMs, they are designed to work with custom recoveries like TWRP. While in stock, the whole system is inside update.app, which can't be read by a custom recovery.

First off I would like to thank everyone on this amazing site for all the advice, guides and tutorials.
I unlocked my nexus bootloader and flashed a couple different roms. I really like the rom manager so I've used that to download roms and then flash them using that app.
When I downloaded the stock version of 91and flashed it, the phone no longer seemed to have root or clockwork recovery but my bootloader was still unlocked. When I downloaded rom manager, it could not get super user permissions, this being useless in flashing a backup or new rom. So I used universal one click root to gain root access and then rom manager was able to flash a backup.
I know this may be a dumb question but hope someone could explain to me why I needed to re-root and why I lost clockwork recovery...?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Right theres your problem. stock roms dont have root built in you have to root them again. unless you download a prerooted stock rom. hope this helps.

Yep this seems to be your problem. If you're wanting stock with the basic add-ons then the first link in this thread is your answer: Link.
Thanks very much. That does make sense. I thought unlocked bootloader meant I was rooted regardless of rom! I'm in way over my head lol. Looking forward to learning more...thanks for the new rom link as well

The advantage of unlocking your bootloader means you can flash a custom recovery from Fastboot mode, without having to "root" the ROM. Next time this happens you can just boot into fastboot and flash clockwork from there like this:
fastboot flash recovery PATHTO\RECOVERYFILENAME.img
so say you download clockwork and save it to c:\sdk\fastboot named recovery.img from a command prompt you enter the following
cd \sdk\fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once it is done flashing you can do this
fastboot reboot recovery
and that should take you into clockwork where you can flash your favorite ROM (or restore a backup).
Thanks for the help. I will be sure to try that method out next time. Very helpful.
So my phone is rooted with unlocked bootloader running faux kernel. I just received the ota update and clicked the button for restart and install. When I did that it brought me to my main option list in twrp. I didn't know what to do so I hit reboot system. It rebooted but nothing showed updating when I did that. Showing I'm still on 5.0.0.
What did I need to do? How do I still update now?
You cannot accept ota if you're modified.
You'll have to flash a ROM.zip or fastboot flash system.and boot image.from the factory images

If you download the image from google there is a zip drive with the files you are looking for inside of them. You can fastboot them individually.
Or you could just flash one of the many roms on here that are using the newer 5.0.2

Give Sinless rom a try. There is a thread on here for it. It is based off of the office 5.0.1 image and not aosp. Great speed and features and decrypted

Hey guys, I was hoping to flash a pure stock 7.x preferably via twrp.
A buddy of mine a year ago and me to flash pure Nexus for him but now needs a stock phone for business security net purposes.
Is there a link for this? I've searched and have come up short.
I'm guessing it'll have to update bootloader, radio and kernel as well?
I know how to do this via command line. Was really hoping for a way to do it on the fly since this is not my phone and taking a PC for a TWRP ready device is a hassle.

This should be a relatively easy thing so I'm surprised it doesn't exist
there is no reason for it to HAVE to be twrp flashable, just google for "NEXUS ROOT TOOLKIT" you will see on there restore to stock, and re-lock boot-loader, not positive but i think twrp cant flash stock unrooted images, i could be wrong

TWRP can flash a stock image if someone creates it. Unless there is something odd about the nexus, but I doubt that. The only thing that shouldn't be flashed stock would be recovery.
I don't think I need to use some toolkit... adb and fastboot commands are simple enough.
I was hoping to avoid needing a PC at another persons house, I mean that is kinda the point of twrp.
I am surprised this doesn't exist. It does for every other device I've owned. It's honestly just a wiped clean, twrp backup of a stock device with TWRP installed.
If I owned the device I would make it for you guys. It seems something that is lacking that is really handy.
I guess I'll round up a laptop. Thanks for the links and suggestions.
Google has done that for you already. Just unpack the archive you choose and the four images are in there.

Different Google search gave this. I can find nothing else on TWRP site or G+
Appears you can also use FlashFire.
Thanks for the help.
OP could flash one of the stock lite ROMs in the development forum and get the TWRP-flashable stock ROM he's looking for. Danvdh and tupac4u both offer one that is nothing more a debloated stock ROM.
TWRP is able to flash system images from 3.0.2 and on. Just unpack the archive and select install img. Remember to flash stock kernel and newest radio and bootloader too (bare in mind that flashable bootloader is harder to find. You might have to find older one and update the files inside on your own). Afterwards flash stock recovery and lock bootloader with a zip. Now you can just reboot it. It's not that hard.

Thank you.
I went ahead and simply flashed him 100% stock via flash and fastboot.
This is probably resolved now, just adding info though. I had flashed stock 7.1.1 zip downloaded from google via twrp 3.0.3.0. It removed twrp itself too and I was back on stock.

So, i have a P10 vtr-l29c432, bootloader unlocked, with twrp installed and from future rom installed, and now i want to go back to stock rom with Huawei recovery, to use the official updates via ota without problems. I'm not a noob but this is my first Huawei device and things are way more complicated compared with oneplus or nexus devices. My question is how to do it, because what i've so far is confusing me, if someone could explain me or give me some instructions i will appreciate it, thanks!
Hi!
same situation here. I would very much like to go back to stock but I'm not sure how... I saw a tutorial but I am not certain that that is what I need. Any confirmation would be very appreciated!!!
Tx & best
Exact same problem here on the p10 vtr-l09, seems to be a few different methods out there, either don't work or too confusing
You can try to update your phone with my guide.
This will reformat the system and your phone is on stock after a factory reset (reset is important when you come from another rom).
After factory reset you should be able to lock the bootloader.
Important is that you have in mind which Android version is installed and which phone model you have.
No warranty for this, I didn't try it or know someone with the same situation. But after learning something about how emui works it shouldn't be a problem.
did anyone tried this? I'm using custom rom from openkirin project and I would like to get back to stock. I have the stock recovery
On openkirin's website is a tutorial.
You need to extract system.img, ramdisk.img and kernel.img from update.app and flash them with Fastboot. After this boot into eRecovery and make a factory reset.

Yeah I tried to follow the instructions which they put in three separate articles, however the last one is landing on the main page and I don't see the flasing instructions. Here is the link:
https://openkirin.net/user_guide/how-to-flash-extracted-partition-images/
Doesn't work in all countries but worth a try:
Go to eRecovery (not recovery) and use wifi to go back to stock.
Worked for me.

Then do it like I wrote, the Fastboot commands should be clear if you already installed the Rom.
WiFi downloads don't work if you're rooted, you need to flash stock ramdisk manually before you can download via eRecovery.

Maybe he didn't install magisk when he was on one of the OpenKirin roms, so ramdisk is still stock. I used this eRecovery WiFi method when I was on fRomFuture, no magisk installed.

Jannomag here, it's possible to "update" to the same version. My script just tells the recovery to install the given update files. The recovery will overwrite the system without removing user data.
This should work without any issues but it can happen, that bugs are still present after this. If you want to fix firmware issues a complete factory reset is much more effective.

There's been several updates I have been unable to install as I am rooted. Is there an easy way to apply updates? Can you unroot, apply updates, then re-root for example? I'm confused about what might be the way. I've seen the debrand thread. But you would still be rooted and therefore unable to apply future updates?
Any advise appreciated

Hurupdater is the simplest solution and I've never had any issues at all.
Did you rename the files correctly?
Did you download the correct files?
Did you put unofficial TWRP .IMG in same directory as the other files and renamed it?
So in total you should have 5 files in one directory. Then just flash hurupdater .zip file in TWRP. That's it.

Yea just flash no check recovery and it'll overlook the twrp recovery when you install the OTA update is system update.
Obviously has to be an official update but that's all the tinkering that's required.
No check is in the files listed in my guide from my Sig.
