P9 Plus Stock Recovery

Hello!
Where can I find the stock recovery .img for my VIE-L29C636? I wish to update my P9 Plus to version B632 but since my phone is rooted and I use the TWRP custom recovery, I'm not able to do so.
Cheers

Can you explain how you got it? I'm on VIE-L09C432B360 and I receive an update to B370 but when the download finishes, the phone restarts and when TWRP tries to install the update I got an error (which I can't read). My guess, the update fails because of TWRP. So I want to reinstall the stock recovery. Can you explain the steps you followed? Thanks in advance.

No problem! Haha, lucky timing, I was about to head to bed.
Anyways, you will need Android-SDK platform tools, Huawei Update Extractor, which you can download here, and the CURRENT firmware file of your device, which you can download using Huawei Firmware Finder here. Here's how you do it...
1. Find and download your firmware using Huawei Firmware Finder. Go to the common base tab and enter your CURRENT build number in the textbox labeled "Model for find". Under the "type" list, find the one that says "FullOTA" and click the link under the "Filelist". This opens a new window with a list of links. Open the link that ends with "update.zip". That will download your firmware.
2. Open the zip file and extract the file called "UPDATE.APP"
3. Open the Huawei Update Extractor, and drag and drop the "UPDATE.APP" on the window. You will see a list of files. Select and right click "RECOVERY.img", and click on "Extract Selected" and set your file destination. This is the recovery software.
4. Once it has finished extracting, simply flash it as you would with TWRP.
Hope this helps! Don't be afraid to ask if you need more help.

On step 4 you mean type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from fastboot mode?
Thanks. I'm gonna try today.

Yep! That's how you flash the recovery.

Thanks. I hope you had a nice sleep.
Anyway I did it via flashify, but what I get is eRecovery and I think it's not the same as stock recovery.
Sorry to bother you again, but options are not the same than stock recovery. In eRecovery you haven't options to wipe, only download new versions and reboot/shutdown. As I don't know if stock recovery has been properly installed, I don't dare to install the B370 update.

Hmm, obviously that's not right... Have you tried using ADB to reboot into your recovery? Try opening a command window and try typing in "adb reboot recovery". That's usually how you get into your recovery other than turning on your phone by holding both your volume up and power button until you see the recovery screen. If that doesn't work try flashing again using adb instead of Flashify.

Hi @mechasnyper
I'm on stock B360, rooted and twrp installed. I got an update of B380 and as described by others I was unable to update through twrp. I tried your method, downloaded B360 firmware through FIRMWARE FINDER, when I opened "UPDATE. APP" in update extractor, I got two images of recovery "RECOVERY.IMG" & "RECOVERY2.IMG". I extracted "RECOVERY.IMG" and flashed. Everything went fine recovery flashed successfully.
After that I started OTA update. It started flashing but it is giving me error when reaches at 5%. Kindly tell me what is wrong?
My variant is: VIE-L29C185

What error does it give you?

Hey all, I'm in a similar situation in that I'm trying to restore stock recovery in order to receive the new B386 OTA update.
Problem is, I'm on B385 firmware and the last version available for download is B384. Does anyone know if it would be possible to extract the B384 recovery and flash that, or is that just a really bad idea?
I'd really rather not do a factory reset all for the sake of a Google security patch

After giving up last year I came back to try again and everything worked smoothly. Don't know why I had trouble the first time!
To anyone with a rooted device who wants to go back to receiving OTA updates, just follow mechasnyper's instructions and download the full firmware zip for your current OS version in Firmware Finder, extract and flash recovery.img, and hey presto.
Now to just sit and wait for the L29 Oreo update to arrive

U can grab the rollback package from my signature, there is pdf file with instructions on how to use it. inside the zip file.
You have to use the same method for the mm firmware you like to rollback to.

Honor 5C can't flash nougat

Hi guys.
I'm having problem with flashing nougat on my NEM-L21C432B132. I'm on 6.0 at the moment and I used both dload folder on sdcard method and Firmware Finder. Tried different versions and I keep getting warning saying "incompatibility with current version". How do I solve this ?
I have no root, stock recovery, unlocked bootloader. I thought it could be because of unlocked BL, but I cannot seem to lock it as "fastboot oem lock" doesn't work for me.

Like I said it doesn't work for me as I keep getting "incompatibility with current version" error. I tried using the dialpad code and going to "Software Update" and tried the 3 buttons (VOL UP, DOWN and POWER ON ) method and I get the same error. Can I just install TWRP and flash the .zips I get from extracting the update.app file ?
EDIT: Just tried TWRP. I get error 7 and the flashing procedure doesn't even start

Hello,
I have extracted the update.app from the 6.0 version, flashed boot.img and recovery.img through fastboot, and my phone found the update even without using the Firmware Finder..strange but I have downloaded it and flashed without problems. My bootloader didn't even lock after flashing which happens from what I've read. Anyway I'm on the newest firmware ATM and also it's rooted. Maybe someone can explain that in case anyone had a similar problem in the future ?

What was the size of OTA? If it was 300-400 MB then it would not harm for bootloader or recovery

What was your original firmware? You're best off flashing a firmware from FunkyHuawei via eRecovery to restore. You might need to use the rebranding tool first if there isn't a firmware available that matches your device. You can't flash the update.app via fastboot or TWRP
Or if you have the full firmware package follow instructions from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/development/rebrand-huawei-p20-eml-l29-eml-l09-t3779283 and you might be able to recover without paying for FunkyHuawei

can you Install TWRP recovery?
Download this file and follow the instructions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/
Use this firmware in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/firmware-release-eml-l29-8-1-0-110c432-t3779477
And this recovery:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3779400
I recovered my p20 a few hours ago.
Start by flashing the TWRP recovery and pushing the files to the phone using adb push. Also ensure you rename the files EXACTLY as in the picture instructions in the first link. It's easy to figure out. And don't forget to put the recovery file in there too. Ignore the red error. It works perfectly.
