Do I need to put update.app in sdcard folder on my phone btw its honor 5c or can I put it on Micro SD card I am asking this because I dont have access of my internal storage.

but you answered to your own question at part 2. internal storage isnt sd card so what could be sd card? thats right, sd card!

I have a rooted Honor 5C (NEM-L51C432B350 and Nougat) with twrp-3.1.1-0-venus recovery (unlocked bootloader etc.). Today the system informed me that there is an update: NEM-L51C432B357. Now I'm aware that with a rooted phone the update might be not as smooth or automatic.
What's the best way to preceed to apply the update without soft-bricking the phone? Granted I must restore the stock recovery. But do I have to relock the bootloader and remove the root as well? Or is there an easier way?
Also: in bootloader mode I see: FRP Lock. How do I unlock it?
Thank you

I think the easiest way would be dload method search for the update.app on web and you only need update so just download the update and not the whole firmware and do a backup before update and i think you dont have to relock bootloader and you dont have to remove root and for 7.0 nougat you need to have openkirin version of twrp
You can always just try just update it I think you should not have any problems but if you think you would you can try the method i wrote you
I hope i helped you

@leoleo333 and @wallace108 I upgraded from B350 to B357. I had to restore to STOCK revovery. My phone was not rooted but i am almost 100% sure that you need to REMOVE root. It could cause problems. As for the BOOTLOADER i did not relock my bootloader and suffered no issues installing the update. However the bootloader was locked afterwards and i had to unlock it once again and then install a suitable TWRP or any custom recovery of your choice that is compatible with EMUI 5+/Nougat.
Hope that helps(give me a thanx if so). Cheers

[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?

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

[TIPS] Revert Custom Rom to Official and untouched - Hard restore

Hi!
I see the large number of requests concerning the roolback of a custom rom to a official and untouched EMUI 4, i decide to create this thread.
After follow that methode, you able to rest on official EMUI and get the new update automatically on OTA (directly on your phone) OR try to install custom rom with a clear and good base version.
1. You ave access on TWRP?
-If not, pleas unlock your bootloader (again) and flash TWRP recovery for you actual version (marshmallow or nougat).
-perform a full wipe and restore your partitions on "ext4" format, shutdown phone.
2. Get a "oem_info.zip" for your model phone (dont extract the .zip) and push it on your internal or external sd.
-This archive contain cust and oem info for patched your phone at the correct manufacture information.
-I have a link for VNS-L31 (c432, but is not very important) HERE LINK
-If you have other model (VNS-L31) pleas find a correct patch for you (VNS-L21, ...).
3. Find and download a EMUI marshmallow official full-ota update.
-for a VNS-L31 i advice choice a VNS-L31C432B160 full-ota update.
4. Unpack your update archive.
5. Create "dload" folder on your internal or external sd and put it UPDATE.APP
6. Reboot phone on TWRP recovery and flash "oem_info.zip"
7. Use dload methode for update (hold 3 buttons phone and dont release before "dload screen" appears)
8. Unlock your bootloader again (important!) And make a factory reset
9. Your phone reboot (please wait ) and done!
Ok now you are on official version, please update on setting menu >> update and choice, rest on official or flash a custom rom..
P9 lite brick precision:
In my personal experience the "p9 lite" is very easy to flash, mod or other tips and the risk of HARD brick is very very tiny.
If you see this page and your phone bootloop, relax, keep calm at 99,999% you have a little and ridiculous brick
Good luck and flash happy!

I know, I post on both but I was trying to do everything...

How can I wipe all partitions if stuck in Huawei logo? Is there a way to do everything from adb command line? (I'm using Mac and cannot use all the tools I've found here XDA neither hiSuite which is basically a backup photo/video only the Mac version).
Thank for helping, really appreciate
To answer your question in the other thread, yes bootloader is unlocked and I am on C432.
What's your rom have before the bootloop?
You have the right version of TWRP for your rom?
If you have a MM version Don't flash a TWRP for N.
Send me a link to TWRP version used (thread forum)

Before the bootloop I was on L31C900 (on the phone) but I did actually flashed C432B160 because I did rollback. TWRP used I've found in the other post where there's a OEMfile to flash (but for this I need to double check because I did look so many pages which I am not 100% sure.
I not have experience on other model that C435.
But i suggest to find a oeminfo for your variant (C900?)
For TWRP you need flash a version for MarshMallow HERE
Flash it and pas return here (fastboot flash return and first enter to new recovery)
Hi, found Windows emulator for MacOs so I extract from update.app boot.img and flash.

Flash partitions on .img files is not needed.
Just find a corect oeminfo for your model phone.
Flash it on TWRP recovery.
Use dload methode to update on basical version (MarshMallow b160).
After that, unlock bootloader again and make a factory reset.
Switch on your phone (the first boot make long time).
Update on last emui on OTA.
Done!
After that you able to install a custom rom.

IT won't turn off so been always on it won't keep the charge... Writing so because apparently it won't go to download mode (dload) if plugged in. On the other way if I unplugged from power it won't even start. Shall I force to download mode using console ADB or FASTBOOT? I had looked but can't find anything...

Correct. Because I'm not able to switch it off it won't keep the charge. When discharged, the minute I do plug on charge it wakes up... That's the loop...

[SOLVED] EVA-L19 "Software Install Failed" when updating

Hi everyone,
Just taking my chances if anyone in here encountered the same issue. I'm currently on EVA-L19C636B381 and the System Updater is asking me to update to B390. However, I've tried downloading the update several times but keep on getting the "Software Install Failed" error message. Any ideas on how I can update the firmware and ensure that updates will be installed seamlessly moving forward?
Note that the bootloader was unlocked before and it used to have TWRP. Now I've relocked the bootloader and installed the stock recovery.
Thanks!
Clarification:
Version: EVA-L19C636B381 (everything's stock: BOOT, RECOVERY, RECOVERY2, SYSTEM)
Would like to update to: B390
Issue: Getting "Software install failed" error message after downloading through System Update
** Used to have TWRP and root. Flashed stock IMGs
Update:
Issue solved! Please see last post for the update/solution.

If you had TWRP, maybe you also rooted - root will also block OTA (you had to unroot in that case).
Btw, unlocked bootloader does not prevent/affect OTA

Hi zgfg!
Thanks for the response. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, it used to be rooted. However, I've installed stock B381 and stock recovery already, and still getting the error message. Checked with Root Checker and it says that there's no root access.

Rooting affects Boot partition, it must be flashed back to stock. And it's recommended to Hard reset then, before OTA. For OTA, go to Settings, and choose Full upgrade

Yeah, that's what I did. Basically, everything's stock already. That's why I don't understand why I'm still getting the error message.
You can try downloading the full stock rom package and manually update with the dload method.

Hi noalt! Thanks for the response.
Yeah, kinda wondering if that'll work. For the dload method, does it really require an SD card? Also, for the dload method, it is okay to get the latest full package instead? (Upon checking using Firmware Finder, the latest one is B395 or B396)
Any steps that I can follow to do a sort of "clean install"? As in free of any modifications? In short, some kind of steps as alternative for using System Update (which I can't use due to the error message I'm getting)?
You can use any stock rom you like. If it is the same or higher build, you may not need to do a rollback. The dload method only works from sd-card. It will be a clean install.
I think the dload method is the safest. Alternatives are flashing images indiviually through fastboot but I have no experience with that, except for the recovery.img

I see. Regarding the dload method, if by sd-card you're referring to the internal memory, I'm afraid I've tried that (creating a dload folder and putting nothing else but the UPDATE.APP file inside) and I'm getting a Software Install Failed error message as well. :crying:
No, I mean a micro sd card. You can put one in the tray next to your sim card. And then you have to shut down you phone and boot it holding vol+ vol- and power until you get into the updater.

Ah yes, that's the one that I have yet to try (as I don't have an SD card, the other spare phone that I have is a 5s).
UPDATE:
I eventually was able to install EVA-L19C363B395!
Initially, I was having issues with the partitions (as I tinkered around a bit with TWRP) and was stuck with the Huawei logo and not proceeding with the booting. So what I did was I flashed BOOT.img, SYSTEM.img, RECOVERY.img, and RECOVERY2.img from the stock B381 (use the Huawei Update Extractor to get it from the UPDATE.APP file from the update.zip (the large file), do some Googling to find it here in XDA . Then I was still experiencing the said issue so I used the stock recovery's features: "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" to sort of repair the issues with the partitions (didn't know how to properly do it in TWRP.
Then B381 booted and was able to access USB debugging (initially had issues with this as well, after flashing images, Settings app kept on crashing when trying to access Security and Developer options).
And then finally followed the HWOTA procedure made by @Atarii. Make sure that you're going to use the proper recovery file for your version (L09, L19, etc). According to the steps, being rooted is also required so I used @zgfg's SuperSU 2.82 permissive (https://mega.nz/#F!w41RmZKB!IG53JadhjUKgFK8anbctIw). Make sure to flash it before flashing the nocheck recovery file.
And voila! That should do it. Based on what I'm seeing, root has been removed after doing the HWOTA procedure, same goes for TWRP, and bootloader's locked again.
Thanks to all of those who responded and credit goes to @Atarii and @zgfg for the procedure and file/link.

(Help) My P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1) is bricked

Hello,
I was trying to install a custom ROM from TWRP to my P8 Lite 2017 and I wiped all partitions except MicroSD.
The installation failed and I got the stock ROM and then I discovered that my bootloader is locked. I can access TWRP and when I flashed the stock ROM the phone just boots to TWRP Recovery. And I can't even unlock the bootloader because the phone doesn‘t have any OS and I can‘t enable OEM unlocking from the system settings. And because I have TWRP, I can’t access Huawei Recovery. So my phone is basically bricked.
Any help will be appreciated

Use dload with a service firmware.
You need to flash this 2 times,once for the firmware and second time for vendor,and the firmware UPDATE.APP can be found in the update_sd.zip and the vendor UPDATE.APP can be found in the PRA-L31 or PRA-L11 folders (most likely you will have PRA-L31,you can find this in the engineering menu by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info,but since you cannot boot flash PRA-L31 vendor).
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is latest firmware,but takes a very very long time to download
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is the first official firmware released,but download speed is very good
If you don't know how to use dload you can look it up on forums.
If your phone is really hard bricked and can't do anything, check this out:
I know how to use dload, but how I can boot into dload mode with TWRP installed and bootloader locked?

Dload works no matter what,at least I was able to enter it when I bricked my phone,even when I completely screwed up my recovery partition,so you should be good. Try using it with the service firmware I left you.

I've tried a different firmware for my device and now I can't get to dload anymore so does it mean that I've chosen the wrong firmware? And by the way I read somewhere that if the dload says error it can depend on the microsd card.
I tried it again with the service firmware and I got to dload and it didn't have error anymore and now I've got everything worked and my phone is unbricked

great
I was stuck with a similar problem. Device bricked and flashing TWRP and restoring backups, then stock recovery and stock roms, but nothing worked until I found this post. Thanks a lot dinoderda for your help.

Use dload with a service firmware.
You need to flash this 2 times,once for the firmware and second time for vendor,and the firmware UPDATE.APP can be found in the update_sd.zip and the vendor UPDATE.APP can be found in the PRA-L31 or PRA-L11 folders (most likely you will have PRA-L31,you can find this in the engineering menu by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info,but since you cannot boot flash PRA-L31 vendor).
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is latest firmware,but takes a very very long time to download
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is the first official firmware released,but download speed is very good
If you don't know how to use dload you can look it up on forums.

Hello again, I've been using the older service firmware for few months now and now I decided to install the latest service firmware after I had no success with flashing the firmware through TWRP and I downloaded the service firmware put the necessary files to the dload folder and installed it via the software update in the dialer and typing *#*#2846579#*#* and going to dload that way. It installed to 100% and then when it restarted it goes to Error Mode and it says to update the firmware again but it just loops to error mode and I cannot do anything so I think I accidentally removed some neccessary files in the dload folder but now I would need to fix the error mode loop.

[GUIDE] Downgrade from EMUI 9.1 to 8.0 for bootloader unlocking

Hey guys.
I was on EMUI 9.1.0.166(C675) which is the May 2020 security update and I wanted to unlock my bootloader which is only possible if you are on EMUI 8 with a security patch of June 2018 or below. There was no option in HiSuite to downgrade as well. I came across many users not able to find the right firmware to flash for their device. So I made this guide to help them.
These are the details of my device before downgrading
Model Number: LLD-AL10
EMUI Version: 9.1.0.166(C675E6R1P4)
These are the firmware I flashed in order to reach the desired version in order to unlock the bootloader.
1. EMUI 9.1.0.112(C675E4R1P4T8) https://androidhost.ru/1lau
This firmware should be flashed via dload method.
2. After successfully flashing this. You can connect your device to HiSuite and then you'll get an option to switch to EMUI 8.0.
3. Then flash EMUI 8.0.0.194 via dload method again https://androidhost.ru/29Fa
4. Finally flash this firmware version via dload. Click here
P.S You can maybe skip step 3 and directly flash the firmware in Step 4. I don't know if it'll work or not.
After flashing the 4th firmware, your device may bootloop and go to erecovery. This is completely fine. If it goes into erecovery just wipe the data/factory reset and you're good to go!
Hope this will help you guys!
will it work on LLD-L21?

I don't know but you can try! It's perfectly safe because even if the firmware is not compatible it will just say update failed. Nothing will happen to the device.
Not works on HONOR 9 Lite LLD-L31
I copied firmware files in dload folder and used volume + with volume - with power button. But it says update failed

The dload folder will already be in the zip file downloaded. Just add it to the root of sd card and update. I didn't use the volume button method, I used the manual software update method by dialing *#*#2846579#*#*

Hi, Instructions are not clear. Can you please provide excat directory to save the files on memory card?
I have tried placing the zip file on memory card. It says 'No upgrade file'. I've extracted and placed the dload folder in memory card. Then it says 'update failed'. No matter how hard I try, I'm not able to apply the update on step 1.
Hello. I have been following your guide on unlocking honor 9 lite bootloader. I reached till step 3 successfully. The firmware in step 4 (google drive link) is missing. I want to unlock my honor 9 lite and your guide seems to be quite helpful! Hope you will correct the drive link. Thankyou!
Hey majid, can you tell me which file do i need to copy to the root directory of the sd card as there are many folders in the dload folder in the rom you provided.
I am confused.
1. As i extracted the zip there are 1 folders namely release doc and software
2. In software there is dload folder and in that there are other 2 folders namely LLD L22A and LLD L22C and an update zip...
What is the next step .. kindly reply.
Hello, anyone have the 4. link (google drive link is down) ?
Thanks
