I know that there are some threads over this topic, but there is nowhere a specific answer. I have currently Sokkoban's ROM, and I want to revert to the official build. Can someon provide me with the necessary files in order to flash a stock recovery? I found only this answer, but there are no available links for the files. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. I have ALE L21- dual european edition, running on custom rom based on C432B574.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: tried with the HuaweiUpdateExtractor with the UPDATE.APP file, and flashed the first 3 images (boot, recovery cust) but I get an error while trying to flash the system.img.

It got messy after installing the 4 images. I tried this post and got myself with B052 and emui 4.0. Later I tried our post MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed - chapter 4: Unbricking but nothing.

You are absolutely right. Although Sokkoban's ROM is really very good, you cannot go back to the official easily. Still din't try to flash another rom, like cm 11 and then go back to the official. If anyones does try it, he should let us know.

You need to flash the original recovery(which you already have). Then put dload folder in sdcard and upgrade manually. You might get BALONG bug (because this happened to me) so I recommend you to start from beginning( the very first firmware for your model/country). For me it was B120. It contained two dload folders one was the system and the other was vendor file. You need both files.

Tried everything. Even the files for converting into dual. The only thing I managed to get, was: Sokkoban's ROM, and after a factory reset, I got B052 with EMUI 4. Hopefully someone will find a way and create a guide.

I reverted back using the same procedure. What do you mean by converting files to dual? Isn't your phone already dual sim?

If you are on B052 (official) and did not have balong bug then I think you can update to emui 4.0/Android 6.0 without any issues.

I used MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed - chapter 4: Unbricking but didn't work. Then I tried to revert to B052, but as I wrote before, I had Sokkoban's ROM and after a factory reset, I had B052 with emui 4.0 installed. If you know a working procedure to return to the official build, I suggest you write a guide.

By the way do you have nandroid backup of official rom? If yes restore it via twrp. This could save you a lot of time. The method I used isn't difficult but it takes time.
On sokoban's rom. Flash the original recovery (recommend that you extract it from the firmware you are going to flash).Use the oldest one (link given below) emui 3.1/Android 5.0 for dual sim
Now put dload file in sdcard/internal memory and upgrade the phone.
If you have balong bug put dload2(rename it to dload) folder in sdcard/ internal memory and upgrade.
Now later you may upgrade to Android 6.0/emui 4

No, I used TWRP backup.
When I tried to extract the images from an official ROM (I have done so many attempts that, I cannot remember which ROM I used), I was able to flash 3 out 4 files. The one I couldn't was the system. When I tried through classic (dload etc), It got stuck at 2% and would give me an error.
But that's all in the past. lol
At this moment, my phone is at the service center with no warranty cause my wifi adapter is not working. From what I've heard, such ptoblems, need mainboard replacement and I cannot afford it at this moment. So I am going to stuck with this phone till it's dead, and of course not going to install any ROM, just because I cannot update anything..... cheers!!!

Well tbh, you can simply convert the system.img using simg2img.exe and then make a flashable zip.
then you can install the system.img withing recovery

I used a test keys version to rollback from nougat beta, from that version you should be able to flash the last marshmallow firmware and then upgrade to nougat. This is going to erase your data. Hope this can help you.

If you use firmware finder, you will find a rollback package (just read the changelog).I.e. mine was NEM-L51C432B130 with date 2017.04.14.
You need to set your model code, because FF won't recognise the test key.
What I did was to install a small update to a Russian test key version (on 4pda it is said that won't work on Chinese version), than I flashed B130 (the last before nougat beta).

It should work. If you can't download it or have troubles there's a post in this forum with firmwares. The only way that worked for me was to download the firmware (I can't remember if from FF or somewhere else) and flash it over test key firmware using dload method.
Update.zip should be enough, but I used both.

If I remember right, only update.zip has the update.app while the other one has things like preinstalled apps...make dload folder on the root of the sd, then put the files of the two zip into dload, you should now have update.app and a bunch of other things in dload. The only must is update.app

You didn't have a recovery ? Do you mean you had stock recovery ? Because it's perfectly fine to have stock recovery to flash official firmware. Something you can try (always using dload) :
1) download http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http://d...d=94264&version=377923&siteCode=ru&e=58206831 and flash it, then download and flash B130...after this you can upgrade to B150 (this is the way I used)
2) Maybe you're able to directly download and flash B150, but I don't think this is going to work
3) try flashing the stock firmware that came with your phone when it came out, for example B102 (but I doubt it will let you downgrade this way)
Make sure you're downloading the correct version for your device and make sure the download doesn't fail and check the downloaded archives.
In case you've messed up with the stock recovery there are many guides on how to restore it.

Probably because you've installed the L21 and the the one I linked is for L51. I can't help you any further now. I will search and if I find something similar, I'm going to let you know. The only things I can say to you at the moment is to search more information as possible using Google, xda and 4pda (this last has a lot more consideration and active community for our device, but it is in Russian and maybe you are going to need a translator, for example the chrome integrated one)
This could help : https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=761127&st=3000#entry58206831 but the italian translation of this is not very understandable to me.

In the link I posted scroll to the first post and it show the method I already suggested to you (official) and two alternatives. As I told you before I can't fully understand the alternatives because of translation. From what I could understand, those methods are in case the official fail (like yours) it seems to suggest to unlock the bootloader, install twrp and then flash a nougat firmware using twrp (maybe a modified version of the firmware). This will probably void your warranty and I'm not sure if what I am understanding is correct, but it is the best I found so far. I hope in your language the translation is better.
I have unlocked Bootloader, but locked FRP.

After 5 days i finally managed to fix the phone...
I contacted Huawei, they checked by ID and IMEI what is latest firmware (B126).
I also found new link with newer firmwares, where i downloaded B126 and flashed update.APP by DC-Phonenix, it didn't work at first but then i extracted .APP to .IMG files, flashed that way rebooted and it booted up. In settings i still have firmware showing as B110 for some reason, but everything works so i'm happy.

Hello everyone, so today I tried installing lineageos on my g play mini, and while I was factory reseting using twrp, it actually deleted my OS, even though I'm fairly sure I didn't check internal memory... Anyway, my phone got completely wiped out, but I can access twrp recovery, and fastboot mode. Is there a way to get back to the stock ROM? I've been trying for hours, but I can't find a solution. There are no custom mods for this phone, even the twrp version I'm using is for the honor 4c. Any help would be appreciated

I also tried extracting the Recovery, Boot and Cust files from the UPDATE.app file, and flashing them, but it doesn't do anything.

I still had the one that came originally with it. Which is Android Kit Kat (4.4) if I'm not mistaken. I never changed it while my phone was alive. I tried flashing the 4.4 rom available in Huawei's official site, as well as a lollipop one, and a 6.0 one. None worked, unfortunately.

Downloaded an oeminfo zipped file, and flashed it through twrp. It was supposed to be for my model, but after flashing it successfully, I noticed my phone showed the "honor" logo, instead of the usual huawei one.
So after that, I downloaded the Kit Kat rom for Honor 4c, and extracted the following files from the UPDATE.app: boot, cache, cust, system, recovery.
Flashed them independently, and then I tried to turn on the phone, and it was working again, running Android Kit Kat. After that I've been able to update it to 6.0, EMUI4.0, through dload, local update method
this **** was scary but I pulled it off somehow. I have no knowledge whatsoever, this was pure trial and error for 5 days straight.
I should be able to install LineageOS now, don't you think?

If you had Android version higher than Android 5 and TWRP, you can download stock firmware with firmwarefinder (if it still exist, search in forums for it) and flash it in TWRP like any rom.
Hey everyone! I have a weird problem. I have rooted my Honor 5C NEM-L21 but everytime i try to flash a custom rom it gets bootlooped. I have tried multiple different roms and formatting /data as f2fs , yet have the same problem everytime that i flash a custom ROM. I have as well everytime downgraded the OS back to EMUI 4 and updated the OS to EMUI 5 but it does not help with the problem. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this problem? Thanks

I have used HassanMirza01's TWRP everytime when flashing, that should be the correct one right?

Yeah, not sure what im doing wrong then. Maybe i should try to reflash the kernel after flashing the ROM. This phone is pretty painful to mod if you ask me

Try the stock kernel.I did that to make Lineage work,or you could try first to install elite rom then the rom that you want.
