[Q] Recover P10 after mistaken Oreo update to P10+ - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Hi.
I wanted to upgrade to Oreo manually, but mistakenly downloaded files for P10 Plus VKY-L29C432. The Update was successful and I had a phone with P10+ firmware (DPI was way off).
After update I successfully flashed TWRP over stock recovery. Then I tried to flash the correct Oreo update for VTR-L29C432 but it did not work.
Now I am stuck in ERROR MODE.
Fastboot is working and bootloader is unlocked.
Flashing TWRP does not work.
Is there any way to recover P10 firmware?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/help-please-error-mode-recovery-t3757571
This guy successfully flashed recovery by flashing kernel.img first. But there is no kernel.img after extracting Oero`s update.app.

There is a kernel image in the update.app from the update.zip.

There is a kernel.img in P10+ update.app, but not in P10 (Oreo)

So nothing has helped so far.
Flashed kernel first then TWRP, but I cannot boot into it.
Is there a way I can flash all those IMGs from UPDATE.APP from bootloader?

Hi Cesedy, I'm in the exact same situation as you (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75791054&postcount=36) and am out of ideas. I even tried manually flashing the system.img via fastboot but not joy.
There must be a way of recovering the device, but I'm not sure where to go next...:crying:

Hi.
I am out of options as well.
But, there is a saying in this forum, that if bootloader is unlocked and fastboot is working, there is a way out.
Still waiting for it.
Anyway, I opened a thread in this forum too - https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-22218.html

Are we having the same problem?
Thread
I found the kernel.img in the update.app of the FULL-OTA of the oreo update but it was not helpful nor a solution!

The same.

Out of curiousity? does everybody get their previous version for fastboot oem get-build-number?
maybe we should update the bootloader?

Update and a suggestion from the manual updating thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75800881&postcount=40.

Aw, man, that is not good. Should never lock bootloader if phone is not working.

Yeah, desperation took over from brains. However no harm appears to have done as the bootloader is actually still unlocked (if the warning splash screen is to be believed).
I've now also managed to get back into fastboot after letting the battery drain completely.

That command is not for locking the bootloader, it is for finding the version. Pretty harmless but useful to find which version we have.

The funky Huawei Unbrick tool did the trick for me on this one. I know it is a pay option but for $50 seems to be worse it.
I was able to boot in the system again, Grockstar was able to get into erecovery so that was progress in both cases!

If anyone needs, can use my DC-Phoenix account, I don`t need it anymore.

[Q] S-OFF & Locked ?

Hi Everyone,
I got my second One today, first one had microphone issues.
I asked my cousin from UK to send me a new one, I got it today and I want to use a custom rom.
But when I opened the bootloader I saw something strange, it was s-off.
My build number is 1.29.206.11 (O2 UK).

}
I want to install this firmware 1.29.401.12 and a custom recovery after it.
Can I install this firmware directly?
Do I have to unlock my bootloader from htcdev to flash a custom recovery? (Its written locked)
It would be great if someone can tell me what should I do.
P.S.
-fastboot oem unlock doesnt work
-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img doesnt work
Thanks
You have to register with htcdev and unlock your phone that way when you get the unlock_code.bin and AFAIK there is no way to unlock the bootloader without going through htcdev.
Until you do this you won't be able to flash any custom recoveries etc.

You have to unlock with htcdev site.
After you can do all what you want

Code:

For the custom recovery he have to unlock the bootloader
false. He's s-off so he can add the recovery.img to the flashable firmware zip and then he has both.
Yep, just use the fastboot command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of CWM/TWRP. Nice and easy!
EDIT: Re-read the OP, strange that it doesn't work as it should do. What error do you get?

I cant tell the error now, because I already unlocked my bootloader from htcdev.
As the poeople said that I cant do it, I made it from htcdev
I wouldn't have done anything until people had a chance to properly answer you...oh well

I had a simil case with my evo 3D.
I had it in s-off and locked after the reparation in warranty by htc, i tried to flash a recovery but nothing.
So i unlocked my bootloader with htcdev and all worked fine...
But that defeats the point of S-OFF...with S-OFF you should have free access to everything without having to unlock, unless HTC have changed something in which case S-OFF is useless unless you want to flash an older RUU
You have access if you flash through a zip. That's the only way s-off devices can flash while still locked.

If you are s-off, that's all you need, don't worry about the bootloader being locked, it's immaterial with s-off.

Huawei P9 flashing stock rom trough TWRP

Hey guys,
I have a EVA-L09 and got into a bootloop.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader and I can access fastboot and twrp.
I wanted to flash the full stock firmware on my phone, but everywhere I look I just find the method with the dload folder on my sdcard. I tried it several times, with "force flash" and it doesn't work.
Is there a place I can find flashable zips or IMG files?
EDIT:
I found the program Huawei Update extractor and got the following screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
What do I need to extract to flash everything what came with the stock rom?

You are trying to flash a TWRP with wrong command. Or, you need another version of TWRP. If u have installed Android 8.0+ you need to know the fastboot commands are different from Android 7.0. Try as I say, other TWRP and try to flash a stock image with HURupdate etc.

Use huawei update extractor, disable header check somewhere in options and get boot.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img. flash these using fastboot. If norhing works try to flash twrp tk boot partition so it will start twrp, from there download nougat fw and flash it using hurupdater

[HELP] Can't root Razr i xt890

I am on the verge of giving up. I have tried everything I can. The phone is on 4.4.2
I tried towelroot, and that said the phone was unsupported. I tried TwerkyMyMoto, which did not work, after reading the thread apparaently it does not work in KitKat. I tried another one that I had faith in, closed the page so forgot what it was called, but the file that I got was "RAZRi_Root_Windows.zip" but after running it, I got the following...

}
EDIT: Seems like the site does not let me link to a picture, and when I use the sites image feature, it just shows an error. soooo... https:// imgur . com/ 0Gt68pX
There were also talks of ClockWorkMod, which when I tried to install with ROM Manager, and it said that it was unsupported.
My bootloader is unlocked. I don't know what to try! Please help.
i also cant root my device. tried installing TWRP without root, but without success. i tried all methods i could find for rooting - app based and fastboot based - nothing worked.
and help is really appreciated!
First you have to unlock the bootloader
and install TWRP and motoboot from fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then from TWRP you must mount the partition system and install RAZRiRoot2.zip
RAZRiRoot2.zip MD5: a60a6312f7ebac4ccc66f7503dbff089
TWRP-3.2.1-0-f2fs-Flashable.zip MD5: a95a8c0ce1a182af4d3c26f522b0db6c
motoboot.zip MD5: 4cc4f2c54914b939563cb3d37bbecb55
That's it

Anyone with unlock bootloader do not have stock (unmodified) ROM, that line are for those custom ROM users..
They can get oreo by fastboot easily.
Also for future reference, fastboot flash for stock imges does not require unlocked bootloader..:good:
