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?
Hi Guys,
I have a mate 10 pro BLA-L09 on C782 i have received an OTA. I have TWRP and magisk installed using the official TWRP from their website but when i install the OTA it fails (i expected this)
How can i download and flash the latest OTA whilst not loosing my custom data etc.

You'd have to flash back stock recovery, then install OTA.
When it has finished you'd have to flash TWRP and Magisk again.
OR you could see if that particular update is available on http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
If so you can install it using TWRP with HuRUpdater. But you'd have to use TWRP by pretoriano80 as official TWRP is pretty bareboned...

You would still have to flash Magisk after, but saves you the trip to fastboot
Phone is XT1900-2/android 8.0/magisk rooted/installed Twrp
How to install OTA update in rooted phone and Twrp is installed!! I'm getting error while installing OTA!!
If I had to install stock rom or recovery where i could find it??
Is it possible to ota update the device when custom recovery is installed and phone is rooted? Should i flash the .ozip file on TWRP/PBRP just to update my device? Or do i need to flash stock recovery and manually install the .ozip file?
Does anyone have the TWRP recovery compatible with firmware version SMR7?
I lost the TWRP recovery after updating to the latest version, trying to root the phone again.
