[Q] stock 4.2.2 - how to root ?

Can someone please help with this ?
I'm want to flash the stock recovery in order to receive the 4.2.2 OTA update (currently I have the stock 4.1.2 + root + TWRP + S-OFF)
Can someone guide me please, what stock recovery do I need to flash and where should I grab it from ?
I've found only this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158763
Not sure if is the right recovery but the download link from there is broken
Any idea if I need to be S-OFF or ON in order to receive the OTA ?

That's old thread. Run either a ruu or Mike's stock. Be sure u have stock recovery as well.
Sent from my HTC One

where can I have the stock recovery ? (I can't find it)

- Ok after a lot of digging around I've found a stockrecovery.img file , so I've flashed that like this: fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
- the spooky part after doing this was that I was unable to enter into recovery anymore , the screen alway remained in Entering Recovery and that was it ... maybe someone explain why ?
- then I've locked the bootloader like this: fastboot oem lock
- then I've installed a RUU for Europe (also found out here after diggin around) which actually downgraded my firmware to an older version
- after downgrade I've received an OTA update to a newer firmware - did that
- then after I've received the 4.2.2 OTA update , finaly
- then I've performed a bootloader unlock
- then I've flashed a TWRP recovery image in order to root the device
Now here comes the issue, after flashing the TWRP recovery image, while entering into the TWRP recovery I'm not able to click on any menu , is like the touch screen does not take any input so I'm unable to install the SU binaries
Has anyone encountered this issue ?
How did you root your stock 4.2.2 device ?

Reflashed the CWM recovery (instead of TWRP) as somebody recommend it and it worked - now I have root, too.

Hi there,
i have the exact same problem, the screen wont register touches. How do i reflash CMW? im a noob

You are going to flash it in the same manner you did with the TWRP.
You put your phone into fastboot then issue a command like :
fastboot flash recovery cwm_image_name
You should search for a cwm recovery image file.
And you need to have the bootloader unlocked

After update to 4.2.2 TWRP wont recocnize touch due to the driver update.
Here is a modified version of TWRP where touch work with 4.2.2 OTA
Download and rename it to howdoyouwant.img then
fastboot flash recovery howdoyouwant.img
fastboot erase cache

brick ...

Hello, sorry advanced my English is not good I have a problem with my L-10 ... its brick .. I don't have access recovery and I have wiped the room . thanks you . (I am french).

Enter fastboot mode by holding "Volume down" & " Power" buttons while your cable is connected to the computer.
Make sure that the USB drivers for P7 L-10 are installed by installing HiSuite from official Huawei website.
Now download ADB and fastboot here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
Now you'll need 2 more things - Official P7-L10 ROM & Huawei update extractor which you can download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3262545
Once you have all of those we can start the fun with the command line
Once you're in fastboot mode you'll have either green LOCKED screen or red UNLOCKED screen. You need to have a red screen in order to send commands to your phone from fastboot.
Open ADB & Fastboot and type "fastboot devices" (without quotes, always without quotes) - this will tell you if your device is properly detected, if it is, you'll see bunch of numbers and letters.
Now you'll need to extract a couple of .IMG files from your official ROM. This is how you do it. Your official ROM has 1 single file that's called UPDATE.APP. Open Huawei Update Extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it.
You should see a whole list with different .IMG files. You'll need to extract only a couple. BOOT.IMG - RECOVERY.IMG - CUST.IMG - SYSTEM.IMG
Now that you've extracted them all you'll need to start flashing them 1 by 1. This is how we do it
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG
You can drag and drop the IMG file into fastboot for your conveniance.
Now you need to place the actual ROM in the root of your SDcard.
On your SDcard make a folder called dload and put UPDATE.APP in it.
Now force update by turning off your phone and then power it back on while holding all 3 buttons pressed in. When screen comes on release Power button, but keep holding the other 2 buttons down.
Now your recovery should start wiping and installing the ROM and you should be saved
Let me know if you need more help

I flashed all the images you named, and after that I can't enter in recovery. Tried flashing twrp, still can't enter. Tried with power + vol+, nothing, tried with stock power + vol+vol-, still nothing. And access bootloader I can only with usb connected. Tried from another update.app, same result. Phone unlocked.

Just yesterday i bricked my phone too and i've spend 18 hours unbricking it, until i realised that the version of TWRP is directly related to the version of EMUI that's on your phone. As i was trying to install the old B126 with EMUI 2.3 i had to use TWRP 2.8.1.0. Once i installed it, i was able to enter into recovery and erase all data in orded to start over. Maybe you have the same problem.
EMUI 2.3 - TWRP 2.8.1.0
EMUI 3.0 - TWRP 2.8.7.0
EMUI 3.1 - TWRP 3.0.0.0
Try using TWRP that matches your EMUI version and let me know if it works for you

Well, somehow after posting I got working TWRP and got back to X-Rom, because for some reason, I can't install other custom ROM's, because of infinite bootloop. So I wanted to get back to stock firmware. So I tried all you steps and got bricked. For some reason, when I tried to install stock rom I got, "verifying install package" and after few seconds "FAIL". So I kinda stuck to one ROM

I see that X-Rom is based on B125. Did you try flashing .IMG files from the same ROM or did you use some other?

I finnaly did it, week ago. I downloaded stock rom (don't remember which, but recovery started working). Then I just "forced update" with latest full rom. and now I have B852. :fingers-crossed:
My main problem was that stock recovery would not work, but I managed somehow to get it done and after that point it was all nice and clean. Thanks for helping out!

That's great news, I'm glad I could help. I'm rocking B852 too with TWRP 3.0.0.0 like a boss :highfive:

[Q] How to reflash a Stock Rom back after a soft brick?

Hi to everyone! Can anyone explain me how to reflash a Stock Rom (6.0.1 or 7.0) back after a soft brick? I mean, once I accidentially installed an OTA update over rooted Android 7 with TWRP recovery, so after restarting the phone got TWRP bootloop and did not enter in the fastboot mode. Tried to reflash a nandroid backup (ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20160920-seed) and clean installation of the following Roms:
[TWRP] General Mobile 4G Android 6.0.1 MOB30Q Stock ROM
[TWRP]General Mobile 4G Android N 7.0 NRD90R Stock ROM
cm-13.0-20160930-UNOFFICIAL-seed
ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20160920-seed
cm-14.0-20161003-UNOFFICIAL-seed
omni-7.0-20161017-seed-HOMEMADE
but none of them helped. Is there a workaround on making the phone enter in the fastboot mode? Or can I reflash Stock Recovery 6.0.1 MOB30Q or Stock Recovery 7.0 NRD90R via TWRP to get clean installation of the Android 6.01. or 7?

If you want to keep twrp in your phone i don't know how i can help you, but otherwise you could search the stock bootloader etc and then flash it via adb/fastboot in the commandprompt on your computer. After that reboot to bootloader and then flash the rest of the files.

The problem was - I could not enter into the adb/fastboot mode due to TWRP bootloop. That was a result of the OTA flashing over custom root and recovery. So I could neither recover my backup nor flash any custom or stock roms (flashing of custom or stock roms goes ok but restart results in TWRP bootloop).

I'm sorry, but i don't think i could help you with that. However with my huawei honor holly it was able to flash things if i removed the battery and disconnected it from the usb cable, then pressed volume down and power and put sptool in flashmode. When i connected it it would immediately start in fastboot mode but kind of basic. I don't know how to achieve immediate flashing after connecting to computer with adb/fastboot commands. Hope this helps.

So, my experience in solving this problem was like this: I started Install MOB30Q.bat from images folder (starting INSTALL_Android N 7.0 September Update.exe could not help), got a message waiting for device and gave a reboot on the phone already connected to PC (in TWRP mode). Flashing process started with some errors, but the main thing - phone got flashed with a Stock Rom over the exisitng Custom one.
There is a workaround on a Russian forum but that's a quite complicated method requiring a modified USB cable.
The other way is to flash 5.1.1 Stock Rom as it is adviced on the same forum but that's a Swift stock rom so I did not risk.

you did not mention what your device is! am i correct to assume that it is a gm 4g android one? if it is, then search and download for a stock rom that is flashable via fastboot.
with your device, remove the battery to force it to switch off, assuming you still have a bootloop as you said. refit the battery and then switch the phone to fastboot mode by pressing vol-down+power on. the rest is already a standard process to flash the stock rom via fastboot. this procedure guarantees that everything in your phone is erased to be replaced by the stock rom you just flashed.

Issues with flashing TWRP and rooting VIE-AL10

Firstly I need to say that I've read the forums from top to bottom before posting this, so I'm pretty sure no one here experienced this particular issue here on a P9 Plus at least.
I've tried tried to flash TWRP in order to be able to root my P9 Plus.
To do this I did the following steps:
1. Enable Developer Options in settings
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Successfully unlocked my bootloader using a code from Huawei
4. Entered fastboot mode and flashed the latest TWRP 3.1.1 recovery from their website
5. After Huawei's eRecovery kept opening I (after a suggestion in another post in the forums) flashed TWRP on recovery2 as well.
6. Phone stuck in "Your device is booting now..." screen and only booting in fastboot mode is working.
Any ideas what I've broken and how I could possibly fix it?
EDIT: At this point I'm willing to flash everything back to stock, however I'm not sure if I've got the VIE-AL10C00 or VIE-AL10BC00. I'm using the 64GB Dual SIM Chinese version of the phone with Android N and got both firmwares downloaded (updatebc183 for BC00 and 198 for C00 which are the latest for both versions) and ready.
EDIT2: I downloaded the correct latest full update 198 for my VIE-AL10C00 (as it turns out) and extracted the recovery and recovery2 images, then flashed them along with boot.img. Still having the same issue. (I need to say that in fastboot I can't flash anything other than recovery, recovery2 and boot images)

System update with TWRP??

Hi guys,
my P10 (stock rom, rooted and TWRP installed) says I can install a new system update: VTR-L09C02B151
So it downloads the update, then reboot, but TWRP shows up and so no update is done.
How can I install this update?
Thank you

Would probably need to be on stock recovery

Hi,

EDIT:
i don't tested that but he can solve this problem

It's easy:
===============================
Step 1 - Back to Stock recovery:
Download this recovery - https://mega.nz/#!ucAnQD5D!VZETUq38R_drskwFgOXz_aK9wIsoIlbjUS5KHrULcTY
Connect your phone to PC and run these commands
adb devices (check your phone is connected)
adb reboot bootloader (reboot in fastboot mode)
fastboot devices (check your phone is in fastboot mode)
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img (flash to stock recovery)
fastboot reboot (reboot the phone)
==================================
Step 2 - Download System Update and install it
Go to Settings -> System Update -> Check for Update
==================================
Step 3 - Flash TWRP again
Download TWRP 3.1.1-2 - https://mega.nz/#!8JwhzBzD!jiuod03amEPlWpo1LD7GWiwP62Z9I97F_TEarmXRrFU
Download SuperSU 2.82 for EMUI5 - https://mega.nz/#!WAYhHRwC!KAaTqWDID9-0e4s4RuKmUN_AKWBPjDJ0ynTXi7sYAv4
Put the 2.6.SuperSU2.82-EMUI5-SelEnforcing.zip in your SD card
Connect your phone to PC and run these commands
adb devices (check your phone is connected)
adb reboot bootloader (reboot in fastboot mode)
fastboot devices (check your phone is in fastboot mode)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (flash to TWRP)
fastboot boot recovery.img (reboot into recovery)
Go to "Install" menu and choose storage "Micro SD card" and install 2.6.SuperSU2.82-EMUI5-SelEnforcing.zip
Go to "Reboot" menu and press System for normal reboot.
Tested and works on my WAS-LX1C432.

Maybe this guide can be no more valid..
On my P10, updating from B179 to B180 (due to system notification) and TWRP/root installed, update process fails always.
So I extracted recovery.img from B179 Full-OTA update, flashed over TWRP and started system upgrade process, who completed successfully to B180.
However now I get FRP Unlock, (as before update) but PHONE Locked.
So system upgrade has overwrited the unlocked bootloader with a locked one.
Now, to reflash TWRP and apply root, I've to "fastboot oem unlock *Here Huawei Code*" for the second time, loosing all my apps, datas and settings!!
And each time a new update is available is the same way.. you have to go back to stock, and a new unlock will loose all your data....
Really annoying!

Step 2 - Download System Update and install it
Go to Settings -> System Update -> Check for Update

So once I got to this part, it downloaded the update and then the phone rebooted into the stock eRecovery, but whenever it would try and install the update, it would say "Getting package info failed." Any ideas?

Hey I know I'm bumping here, but I'm seriously still at a loss with this. Stock recovery flashes fine, but every single time I try to install the new update, it comes up with ""Getting package info failed." If anyone has experienced this, it'd be great to get it resolved.
