P9 Unable to get into TWRP due to flashing a different ROM

So I installed a version of the P9 OS EVAL09 from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/bluewei-test-crossflash-to-l09-c432-t3608270 the B387 version.
Prior to this, I was running unofficial CM 13 with TWRP installed, and it worked mostly fine.
The B387 .zip had a .update log which I was supposed to install via SDcard upgrade or something like that, however instead I removed a few lines from the update binary and installed via TWRP (in hindsight, probably what caused this problem).
Since then, I have launched into the new ROM with the purpose of updating, then moving to the unofficial Lineage OS.
However, I have encountered the biggest problem which is that, when I tried to reaccess TWRP it would automatically redirect to Huawei eRecovery, which does not allow me to reset/upgrade (as it says package info isn't correct).
I then tried to redo the process of flashing TWRP via ADB fastboot, and then it says that writing recovery has failed.
I can't download the stock ROM from huawei hicloud from the thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586 - as it always says the website is unavailable.
So far, the current OS installed is unusable, and I do not have any custom recovery software. If I can get TWRP to work again, then I should be ok as I made backups before.
edit 2018-01-18: The fix is to make the dload folder in the sd card and hard flash the ROM, which will get me back to a working stable version.

Can't update from .106 to .107 (CLT-L29 C432) - tells me zips are corrupt

Hi all,
I am on a P20 Pro EU Version (CLT-L29 C432) with firmware 106.
What I wanted to do is update from 106 to 107. I have:
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP installed (tried with official and Pretoriano80 version {https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3779400})
- Huawei Firmware Finder
- Patched bootloader from here as well back when the only possibility to install magisk was via patched bootloader (self-created from 106 boot img)
What happened so far is:
1) got the official update notification -> small OTA install failed -> received full update -> failed
2) tried install via TWRP with downloaded OTA from https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...rmware-release-clt-l29-8-1-0-107c432-t3779167 -> tells me zip is corrupt (=failed)
3) install via twrp and select update.zip in Huawei Firmware Finder folder -> zip corrupt -> failed
4) installed via dload method - tried small and large update file --> "Software install failed"
so yeah. i dont really know where to go from here and the google maps issue is really bugging me, so i def want to update
appreciate any help

OTA fails = you have TWRP installed
TWRP installation fails = TWRP cannot install these OTA files (what I know of)
Install orig recovery and use the FF proxy method.

thanks @fregor - do you by any chance know where I could download it? I could only find firmware files

use the initial method download the ota unzip it put it in folder named dload and proceed to the update by turning on ur phone while pressing both volume keys

just tried with the 500mb ota and get a "software install failed"
will try with the big one if i somehow find the DL location of it

alright man, I have downloaded the full update via FF. when i unzip the "update.zip" i always get a file is corrupted error. happens on mac and on windows :/
AND downloaded it from here http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=CLT-L29C432&firmware_page=0 --> software install failed again
kinda lost now tbh

thank you all for your assistance - what helped in the end was using zxz0o0's tool HuRUpdater. It flashes FULL official firmwares without the online check. Can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279

Flash stock updates when twrp is installed

I found an easy and convenient way to flash Huawei updates when twrp is installed. No data loss. In my case I updated from June to July patch without any hiccups.
1. Download the HWOTA8 folder zip to your device and extract it to the root of your SD card. I provided the link at the bottom of the tutorial.
2. Download the Huawei update and wait till it finished.
3. Boot to twrp and go straight to the HWOTA8 folder.
4. Now install the hwota8_update.zip, this will install a special no check version of the stock recovery.
5. After reboot you'll see a failed update attempt, ignore the message and boot to system.
6. Now that we have the stock recovery you can go straight to the update app in the settings and install the update.
7. After 5 minutes the update should be finished and the device will boot to system.
8. The bootloader will be still unlocked so you can modify again with twrp, magisk and so on. No data loss.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the clear and concise method for flashing stock updates when TWRP is installed.
Please help me with instructions how to upgrade my unlocked, rooted and TWRP installed Android 7 ROM to OREO.
My phone model number is: VKY-L09
Build number: VKY-L09C02B102
EMUI version: 5.1
Android: 7.0
Kernel: 4.1.18-gfd75bb
TWRP: 3.1.0-0

there is only one thing that makes me wonder: i cannot install a differential update, this always fails, so the complete package will download ( almost 3GB ), then the installation will be successful. any idea why?

Can't update to MIUI V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM 2.2G with TWRP

Hi, I'm new to modifying Android in any way. I did install TWRP 3.3.1-0 with Magisk 19.3 and I'm trying to install this update. When it restarts the phone, it goes into the TWRP recovery mode and I suppose I need to select the file in the downloaded_rom folder 'miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_b529c3de07_9.0.zip', but when I confirm the Flash, I get an error message:
Zip Treble compatibility error!
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/downloaded_rom/miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_b529c3de07_9.0.zip'
I can't find any useful information for this problem. Do you guys have a clue what I should do?
Someone in this thread mentioned, that this TWRP version worked for him. Could that also apply to my problem? If so, should I download most recent version for Android 9.x?
I have a Xiaomi Mi 9 Global Version if that is relevant.

I'm using https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-siankatabg-t3934962, and everything is fine. It download otg update, can't update then download recovery rom and update from it with no problem.

It worked flawlessly with that TWRP build. Thank you!

[SOLVED] How to Install RMX1931EX_11_F.11 realme ui 2.0 with ORANGEFOX

So i just Got the REALME UI 2.0 update via System Updater and i downloaded is IMMEDIATELY.
But when i tried to install it via ORANGEFOX RECOVERY. It gave me error saying "this Package is for RMX1931L1" and couldnt install on this device.
Can please someone explain what it means, and how can i install this package.
EDIT. 1 : First i installed unofficial TWRP
than i installed C.38 ozip to get Stock recovery than i Relocked Bootloader (which wiped everything internal memory and everything) than i rebooted and checked for update. Got the A11 update downloaded it and Flashed it.
And now i am on A11 stock Locked bootloader and Working Fine.
BTW i live in INDIA

I think you're going to hard brick your device if you've got the bl unlocked and try to flash the official update through OrangeFox. My suggestion is to move the ota file to your pc, relock the bootloader if you're on rui1.0, then move the file and flash it clean, with the bl locked.

How did you even get the update, where do you live?
