I had some issue after updating to B370 OTA so I decided to reflash my phone. I was able to flash L09C432B360 FullOTA-MF-PV update.app from update.zip. However I tried to flash update_data_full_hw_eu.zip by extracting all files and putting them in the dload folder on SD and going vol + & vol - method, it runs the updater really quickly but does not install anything new on my phone and my bluetooth doesn't work and other stock apps are missing. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Have the same question. Since the huawei updater method don't work for me.
Same for me, any idea??
You don't have to use all the files from "data_full...", you just need the update.app for dload. Try a reflash.
install the zip with TWRP
Hello,
I have a P10 lite (WAS-LX1A) on a carrier rom (Orange C109) and i'd like to flash an European one (C432)
Can i flash it using this methode directly over my current fimware :
Download both B123 Firmware and CUST from the links available and then extract at the PC.
Now Copy update.app file from Firmware extracted contents to dload folder at micro SD Card. [If already not exists then first create a new folder and rename it with dlaod, then copy the firmware update.app file]
Then turn off and reboot P10 Lite While holding pressed the VOL DOWN+ UP+ POWER Buttons all together for a few seconds.
The installation initiates and completes, wait until completion.
Now remove the install update.app file from dload where you have copied.
Then Copy the update.app from CUST extracted contents at dload folder.
Now again power off and reboot P10 Lite while holding the above buttons to install CUST package also.
Finally, the device reboots.
Done!
or is there other solution please?
I can access fastboot. Phone unlock & frp unlock but when i try to flash something i get remote command not allowed
download original firmware for your device e.g. L09C432B386 (the firmware most people on this forum use, is the most up to date from Huawei)
Extract from the zip file the UPDATE.APP file and move it to an external sd card with folder "dload" (without quotation marks)
Then turn off phone. Then hold volume up + down and Power button at same time.
Your phone will then force flash the UPDATE.APP file which will give you stock rom again.
Alternatively, if your fastboot works and you want to flash Lineage, you can flash (through adb) TWRP recovery and then flash lineage.
EDIT:
I used this link (not mine) to download stock firmware. Choose whichever one is best for you:
https://mega.nz/#F!w41RmZKB!IG53JadhjUKgFK8anbctIw!988RHBpK
If you have a decent internet connection, should finish downloading firmware in 20 mins?
Also heads up, you need both the update.zip and the update_data_full...zip. Flash the UPDATE.APP in the update.zip file and then flash the UPDATE.APP in the update_data_full...zip file after. If you only flash the update.zip, you will be stuck in setup wizard.

Thanks bro
So I have a p10, and decided to see what i could do with it. Having little experience, I managed to get somewhere. Unlocked the bootloader, got twrp, installed it with the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and got:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32034 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.012s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.200s]
finished. total time: 1.222s
WOOT! Awesome! No problems! Then I issued: fastboot boot recovery.img
And got
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.020s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.030s
WTF?!
So after a bit, I misread and flashed boot.img with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
I guess I flashed the wrong image. I dunno. But now it boots into the screen that tells me "Your device is unlocked and can'r be trusted" tells me its booting, reboots, goes to the same screen again, says its rebooting again, then brings me to Huawei eRecovery. I connect to my wifi network, telling it to download the latest version and recover, and it says "getting package info failed" So I ma stuck with a device that won't boot.
Oh yes, and down volume and power don't bring me to fastboot anymore.
Begging for help here please.
Do the whole rebranding to unbrick, not sure if you flashed wrong image on boot.
Advice: When flashing recovery boot it by powering off and using key combo. Or adb command. Not from fastboot as IMG.
I did a google search on rebranding to unbrick, and found a guide on the 9. So I assume its similar. It first tests me to boot into twrp. I can't. Twrp never got installed. The next step is to get the offical firmware and put it on the SD card. I can't find it. I am in Canada, and can't find any firmware for canada, nevermind anything north american. It is however possible I have found the wrong guide, as I don't really know what I am doing. As a complete noob, links to guides would be nice when possible and available when making recommendations.
The guide is the same for Mate 9/pro and P10/plus
Original: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Explained as easy as posible:
Unlock bootloader (check again that boot loader is unlocked)
Download Update ZIP. I suggest rebrand to VTR-L29 C432 !
A. Get ROM update link through hwmt.ru. Click "filelist.xml". ---> http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR-L29&firmware_page=0
B. Observe "update.zip" size, choose more than 1GB file size FULL OTA . Example VTR-L29C432B164 filelist Link, all three update files and path are in the filelist.xml content.
update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.
update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"
update_all_hw.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "hw/spcseas/update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip" Where spcseas is the model of the file you are downoloading.
Update Package (Download these at original post)
Base: HWOTA_2017050101_Base.zip
OS: Windows -> HWOTA_2017050101_Windows.zip
Model: P10 -> HWOTA_2017050201_VTR.zip [Thanks to @crucky verify]
Put HWOTA on pc desktop and on your external SD card (if you have one, otherwise update process will took a couple of minutes more)
Those 3 downloaded files goes on UPDATE dir, inside HWOTA
Run batch file "update.bat" for same model update or rebrand with/without sdcard.
Select rebrand chose what model is desired (Must be the same as the update package)
Always check the process continues (Sometimes it stucks on twrp or need reconnect to PC)
Once finished Factory default reset will start
Do the process twice! select "Same model update" on the second time.
After update successfully, device might be locked again.

okay, i know you are trying to be helpful, but I just can't follow it...
You said "Download Update ZIP. I suggest rebrand to VTR-L29 C432 !" Which one of them? Is the B just a build number, and I should get the latest? please remember, you are talking to a noob.
You talk about 3 files, update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_all_hw.zip Do I need them all? If so the last one, where I change filelist.xml to all /cn/update_full_all_cn.zip doesn't work. See the following link http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/.../v92067/f2/full/all/cn/update_full_all_cn.zip
Also, rename the file, "Where spcseas is the model of the file you are downoloading" Huh? I know I have to replace the word spcseas with something, but with that?
Now it says to run update.bat Whats the point? I have not been directed to plug the phone into the computer, and even if I did, the computer won't recognize it because I can't get it into any mode... Where do I put these files? They all go in the same directory? I just can't follow this guide as much as I try..
THERE IS GOOD NEWS HOWEVER!
I have been able to get it into TWRP! This means I can get into fastboot, which means I can re-flash the correct boot.img, IF I can get my hands on it (and assuming that's the actual issue It likely is. It was working until I flashed this other boot.img file.). So if I can get direction on how to get it, I should be okay. Double triple and quadruple bonus points for just providing me a direct link to the boot.img file to use without having to play around trying to follow guides I can't seem to understand.
UPDATE!!
Now although I can get into TWRP, its hit and miss, but I can get there eventually, it will no longer boot into fastboot/recovery. When I click reboot, and choose bootloader in TWRP, it just freezes..
This is getting frustrating. Apparently getting into the bootloader is hit and miss, but i can do it.
Search for Huawei update extractor in order to get BOOT.IMG from update.app (inside update zip) I could upload one myself, but I'm not at home right now.
TWRP doesn't support reboot atm. You must power off completly. To boot to recovery press power on and vol + until huawei logo appears, then relase power. It should boot to recovery TWRP in this case.
For boot bootloader you press vol - when you are connecting usb cable to PC.

Thats good to know. I was getting TWRP more often when I did it from off. What was happening was I would holds power and volume up, release power when the logo appeared, and MOST of the time I would boot into TWRP. Sometimes it would just reboot, I would continue to hold up, and it would either reboot, or boot into TWRP. Occasionally I would get the recovery that came with the phone ?!?!
In any event, I managed to get into TWRP, boot into recovery, extract the boot.img, flash it... AND IT WORKED! Phone booted!
So after all this, I backed up EVERYTHING I could using TWRP. The Boot partition, System partition, EVERYTHING! It kept failing on the Data partition, but from my research that wasn't that important anyway. I then installed SuperRoot_noverity_nocrypt.zip, rebooted, installed phh's SuperUser, installed Root Checker, and finally, I have root!!
Thank you so much for the help. About to go "thank clicking" for all the help you provided.
P9 EVA-L09. I am trying to get original firmware.
The phone was rooted. I relock the bootloader using adb. After that phone has stuck in Huawei eRecovery and can't download firmware.
I use the dload method to perform upgrade. I have downloaded few months ago two zip files.
First copy only the UPDATE.APP (~2GB) file to dload folder on sdcard. Then phone start working. After that from the other zip replace, put the all files
in dload folder. Upgrading was successful, but few apps are missing - camera, contacts and etc -> example ?
Trying this image says: installing updates fails after 10-15%.
Can you suggest me how to fix it or may another image to use?
Thanks in advance !

Did you restore stock ROM (by eg HWOTA) before relocking - because (re)locking invokes Factory reset. There was also another report of similar brick bexause of relocking with rooted or custom ROM.
No I am not. It was stock rom which I rooted.
I am trying several update.app but when processi is complete always something wrong. No all apps installed or keyboard missing and etc.
Can you suggest me what and how to try to install?
I found this link with images.
I am downloading both B136. First I have to copy UPDATE.APP to dload folder on sdcard from update.zip. Then delete update.app from dload
and extract all from B360_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip to dload folder and again perform upgrade (turn off the phone, then holding vol up + vol down + power key
until logo display)
Is that correct?
