Hi,
I tried to update software via update.app from boot menu. Somethting goes wrong, phone was very hot and it self-reboot.
Now, phone has bootlop. Wipe, another flash from the same menu didn't help.
How I can make full clean instalation of software with blocked BL?
Regards,
Were you rooted or on twrp earlier?
Unfortunatelly both (twrp and root) was not made.
What was your build number when it was working or which update you recieved
I installed OTA-NEM-L21C432B132 update.

Hi All,
I have a Spice MI 498 handset. I have unlocked boot loader, installed Philz recovery. For OTA update to 5.1, I had to go back to stock recovery as there was an error message when Philz was running. Once the update completes, my IMEI numbers disappeared and I was unable to recover it through any of the methods. As per another users experience, I did a factory reset and upon rebooting touch stops working. Has anybody faced this issue and what should be the approach that I need to take to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Ram

Factory reset usually doesn't work with problems like that. Flash the stock kitkat for your phone with SP Flash Tool (search the forum for a tutorial). That'll fix it. BTW. what OTA did you flash? (LMY47O. LMY47I etc.) I've flashed LMY47O OTA with TWRP recovery and it flashed without a problem. Did you wiped anything on your phone before or after flashing the OTA?

Hi,
I have LMYF7O installed via OTA method. I had not wiped anything on my phone before flashing the OTA. I managed to get back my phone working after I found out the reason for this missing touch. I just called my mobile number from another number and found that touch was actually working. So once that was done, I came out of the installer/registration mode and everything worked fine. Now getting all the data restored including sms, applications etc.
Thanks for the help.

For VIE-AL10 the new firmware update B390 is out. However, currently I am on B356, rooted and TWRP installed. However, when I do the OTA update it restarts into TWRP (because stock recovery is gone). I can't find a download to stock recovery for B356. How else can I installed this OTA update? I've tried dload folder way but with no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
you wont be able to install stock ota whilst you are rooted with twrp. You are going to have to go back to stock and with no root to do the ota, use this tool its worked for me in the past.

PLEASE READ ALL THE THREAD BEFORE USE
if you do have questions ask in that thread
So I decided to wipe and reinstalled my firmware B356. Locked bootloader, no root, no twrp, brand new install. I look into hicare and it doesn't have the option to upgrade to B356. Anyone know why?
go into twrp
advance -> files manager -> /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/
copy recovery2 to SDcard (or other place)
rename copied recovery2 to recovery
recopy the file to /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/
reboot

It should show updates, set your region to china in hicare after a reboot check it. If still nothing then post in the thread that I left a link for
Sorry for late reply. It started to show the update after a week. Not sure if the other methods worked but it showed up. I have a feeling it's because huawei decided to pull the firmware temporarily.
Hi,
Today I received ota update to b357 for my nem L51.
Could not install it since I have custom recovery + root + unlocked bootloader.
How can I update?
My idea would be:
Flash stock recovery + recovery2 from fastboot
Install ota
Flash again TWRP
Will it work? Don't know if my bootloader will lock again after ota update...
Thanks in advance
Unroot first, Flash stock boot.img and stock recovery then download ota and reboot.
Thanks shashank1320!
I flashed stock boot + recovery and then updated my phone.
Unfortunately OTA update restored my bootloader and I had to unlock it again.
Anyway after unlocking I flashed TWRP recovery and rooted with Magisk with no issues.

Hi @deframat,
I'm in the same situation as you were: from B350 I have to update to B357 and I will go the same route you did. However, since you stated that the OTA update restored your bootloader, this means you had to install all over again all your apps and settings. I wonder if I make a Titanium backup of everything, will I be able to restore the phone as it was before the update? Any drawbacks I'm unaware of?
Thank you
Hi Wallace108,
I don't use Titanium backup because I prefer a fully fresh install when flashing new fw.
Anyway since this update is quite light (only security patch and other small improvements) I think you will have no problem if you restore some backed up apps.
I have bricked my phone after Magisk install fail.
I first unlocked bootloader succesfully
then i installed twrp succesfully
then i flashed magisk using twrp - this failed and sent device to erecovery. (which won't find package)
i used twrp to wipe data, now i was able to boot, and it installed like a fresh EMUI. However, almost all apps were broken- could not download themes/camera shut down etc.
To fix this, i wanted to restore to stock and did the following: download update package for my VTR-L09 of EMUI b175 (I was on b162 before), used Huawei Update Extractor to extract files and flashed BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG. This was done without error.
Now my phone won't boot at all. I am stuck at the 'your device can't be trusted' screen. I cannot go into recovery. When I connect via USB, I hear the chime in Windows but I can't seem to connect with ADB.
What to do now?? Am I hard-bricked? I hope that anyone knows how to deal with my phone bricked like this. Please help me to solve this issue.
Best of wishes.
Edit: I am able to enter forced recovery, however updates fail at 5%.
I am also able to fastboot with USB, however I am unsure what to do next.
I unbricked my phone! Many thanks to who ah way and his solution found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-unbricking-p10-using-hwota-windows-t3714416
:victory:
why are you doing it when you dont understand it?
You cannot flash part of B175 firmwar eover B162 firmware.. OMG.
use the HWOTa to go back to stock and please stop playing with the device without propper knowledge

maybe a bad/corrupted download
Same issue here, I am unable to update my phone
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I just got the same error too.
I also got a warning while i boot back to the old version.
System update failed
Update failed, tap to enter repair mode to try again.
guys, i had the same issue too.
Download the full rom via xda link, installation failed. Same goes for the OTA.
However, I managed to update to stock PIE.
My bootloader was unlocked when using stock OREO.
So what I did was, I RE-LOCKED the bootloader, and reboot the OP3T. (BE WARNED,IT RESET THE WHOLE PHONE)
After fresh installation, i was able to update to PIE via OTA. (Should work with local upgrade too)
So for my case, that helps.

Well I was upgraded to the pie with locked bootloader and after that, I had flashed official twrp and magisk but I flashed oreo rom to check if this problem is there when the bootloader is unlocked well yes the one plus detects that your bootloader is unlocked and doesn't deliver the ota so what you can do is click on download upgrade read carefully bro DOWNLOAD not INSTALL just DOWNLOAD it and then you will find it in .ota directory in File Manager now what you have to do is backup your all data via your prefered backup method from which you can restore things after the update I am going to give you a spoiler all data will be corrupted when you will flash the update file via twrp that's why the one plus package updater doesn't update and says installation failed... The pie update will be successfully installed but you have to factory reset your phone to use it that's why I told You to take a backup and after this restore your data...
***I have experienced all this by downgrading and then again upgrading with an unlocked bootloader so I would be honored if you thank me***
I was on stock Pie. I was facing some battery drain issue so I decided to install Oreo official stock which was already downloaded last month. I installed it through local upgrade and rom is still in internal memory. Now I am stuck in Recovery. It tries to boot but every time after few minutes it comes back to recovery. Please help me. It installs Oreo through recovery but unable to boot.
I think Pie can be installed through sideload but I could not find exact links for installation through sideload. Or if there is any option to copy Pie Rom in my internal memory to try installing back latest rom.
If anyone could help me It will be highly appreciated. My bootloader is still locked.
