chrome://mega/content/secure.html#!BoUWjASI!PfSWMroeQB-QBAumV92qCaJ_QX6ln0avT3epXDwBm44, extract update.app to sd card/dload folder then try local update... this should work, but if not try force update!

is your phone branded? if yes mybe you have to first debrand in order to avoid problem like missing motion config voices...
otherwhise you first have to flash stock emui recovery and than download b609 fw (and then follow a guide here in xda to have full emui 3 function if you have missing features)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343 a cwm version... read the thread

maybe here on xda.... but for sure downoload your fw rom (b121) and open update.app with huawei update extractor...select recovery.img, right click with mouse, extract seleceted... that's all, you can flash the recovery like you've done with twrp

[GUIDE] Get rid of balong bug/get back local update on 6.0/unlock bootloader[ALE-L21]

First of all, what is balong bug?
Balong Bug is when you update to a newer firmware that was not meant for your country, your phone doesn't recognize the correct version of your software(instead of correct version it will show balongc53b311) and you can't do ota update.
So in order to get rid of balong bug, when you update your software to a newer version, in the archive you've downloaded there are 2 folders: one contains the firmware update and one folder named custom or vendor which contains update.app for balong bug.
So all you have to do is to install via local update the update.app from vendor/custom folder.
I've tried to find for as many as possibile versions i could find.
I've made an archive of all vendor folders. Download from here
Here is the list from archive:
B049
B120
B130
B132
B133
B171
B551
Now, in order to get local update back, you'll need to have unlocked bootloader and twrp installed because you'll need to flash an archive.
First, make sure you have installed the correct drivers, then enable usb debugging from developer options(tap 7 times on build number to unlock developer)
To unlock bootloader you'll need to register on huawei then enter your details here.
If you have dual sim,enter your main imei;
After you've done all this you'll have a 10 digit code number, save it.
Now download minimal adb fastboot from here and install it.
Plug the phone into pc, open cmd window in minimal folder(shift + right click -> open new command here), type:
Code:
adb devices
and in return it will show something like
Code:
123213asdsa231 device
. After this type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. Now you are in fastboot and here you'll unlock your bootloader by tiping this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock yourcode
. If you done all this, now it will show on the bottom Phone Unlocked.
Now you need TWRP from here.
Flash it via fastboot with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery image_name.img
.
Enter twrp, flash this archive.
Now you've got back your local update!.
In order to get back stock recovery, donwload your current firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract recovery.img from update.app and flash it via fastboot with the same command used to flash twrp.
If you have questions, ask here.

Please add the newer B564 to the patch

I'm sorry, but i can't find for b564 ...

hey i tried updating locally on b560, but am stuck at 19% for like half an hour...

Bootloader is now unlocked, fast boot works as i can boot to bootloader but i cant push twrp for some reason.
Edit: fixed, wasn't looking for the correct file to put twrp into.
So i flashed B550 i think which doesn't have Vendor file, how can i get to B551 or one that does, will i need to downgrade first.

My South African ALE-L02 is currently running Android 6.0 C636B530, with the Balong error after the firmware upgrade.. Would I be able to simply flash the Vendor (Custom) file, or do I need to follow other steps first?

Not sure but yes try it. First, full wipe everything, than install stock b638 than personas mod.

I did it,
first,I flashed recovery ( it was twrp) and installed stock recovery,
then installed c432b638
my data and apps was not deleted.

Yes you'll need to unlock the bootloader.
As for the update itself, I use the method here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Originally written for the mate 9, it's been updated for the p10.
It will also debrand if you want to go to C432, and/or update to any rom.
It will wipe your phone though, so backup anything you need to your external sd card.

Yes, technically, but it can be relocked. Indeed the method I linked to above relocked my bootloader twice when I was rebranding to C432, although I don't know if that "restores" the warranty.
If you didn't want to unlock the bootloader, then you'd have to wait for the update to arrive via OTA as a "normal" update from Huawei

For the EMUI 8 to 9 tool you will need root. You can do it from TWRP if you wanted to.
But you will need an unlocked bootloader at least, else you won't be able to install it.
No service = its not a service firmware, as most are on androidhost.ru.
Everything works fine. I just flashed it.

It says "no service" because it's not a DLOAD firmware.

Sorry, i'm just asking... From where did you got the rom? I see nothing on FF

It won't with the EMUI8 tool as it is now.
I will edit the EMUI9 tool and upload it, it will only require unlocked bootloader.
Edit: You can just use the EMUI9 tool as is, it's using Oreo TWRP and Oreo NoCheck.

As I am sure that EMUI 9 comes with new bootloader, is it possible to flash it without flashing xloader? As the Custom treble rom I want to use do not work on 9.0 vendor, so I could downgrade back.
Or uses the EMUI9 the 02xloader? If 02 then I can upgrade it to try it out!

Hopefully the update doesnt come x years laters for the ones on the official beta lol, anyway have fun guys

Unlock phone, flash twrp by pretoriano80, flash Magisk zip in twrp.
Alternatively: unlock phone, patch ramdisk in Magisk Manager, flash patched ramdisk in fastboot.

Would this method work for upgrading BLA-L29c636 b145 to BLA-L29C636E2R1P13B159 (9.0.0.159)

Is there any chance of getting a working TWRP/root on this version?

Great news. I've just installed it without problems. Is there any safe way to unroot and relock bootloader?

Apparently the root developers, amongst others John Wu (Magisk), are working to get a simple way to root EMUI 9.0.
The root has already been confirmed to be working on the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and more devices should join the party sooner or later.

Root + Ota update

Hey I have p20 pro EU version 6/128
Today I got a new update about Google security.
I want every update run on my phone
But I rooted my device.
I wanted first to ask guys , I tried to update but was unsuccessful. I do not have twrp because of the method I used to root p20 pro didn't allow me having magisk and twrp recovery.
So now if I want to update have to do it manually ?
2 questions
1) which program do I use ?
2) where I can find the firmware Official WITHOUT BEEING CHANGED ANYTHING inside from someone third.
Thanks John

You need to flash the stock bootloader. If you are running Pie and Magisk, you have a modified bootloader. I don't know where to download the stock one. Could probably rip it from a stock Pie firmware.

Me to have twrp on my p20 pro and i cannot update my phone.. Have new update but when I try system update after download, its entering to recovery mode for install the firmware but it cannot coz working twrp and unsuccessful installation.
Me to look for stock recovery for clt-l29 pie

Download the current version you are using. Extract recovery_ramdisk.img and flash. Reboot and take OTA update. You will lose root, as I said you have a modified recovery and need stock to take OTA.
Edit - Once your done, patch the bootloader from Magisk and flash to get root again.
