[Guide]Extracting Stock firmware files using Huawei Update Extractor/splitupdate

There seems to be a little confusion on how to do this and I've written down how to in many posts now so I figure I'd just write it down in a little guide.
What you need:
Firmware update.zip from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
Windows only: Huawei Update Extractor
Linux/Mac(?)/(Windows too): splitupdate perl script (requires perl)
Direct link: https://mega.nz/#!4PBknJrK!iZQDI4ti6ERmQJC6afgUGTSvHHKcm9KFz9okmwwez3I
Source: https://github.com/marcominetti/split_updata.pl/tree/f5f415262be3487de28321b49dcb69d947897bf1
(Or my 'special' version https://mega.nz/#!NS4VnL7Q!5GMn-soCf_WMW6fZANd-TDzxjQkZW2LynEQtJ_TlUdU which extracts
to the same folder as 'splitupdate' instead of 'output/', and includes a mount script (Linux only, maybe Mac?) for extraction of files of the different images)
Archive extractor of your choice (7zip, winrar, winzip and so on.)
Firmware build
First you need to determine what your current firmware is, this can be done by going to 'Settings -> System -> About Phone' on your phone. Check 'Build Number'.
Mine says:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

}
BLA-L29 8.0.0.132(C636) (Replace 8.0.0. with C636 and add a B infront of 132 )
This can be translated into BLA-L29C636B132.
Now we have our current firmware!
Info on Nougat -> Oreo
As of Oreo the partitions changed a little.
'Boot' partition was split into 'ramdisk' and 'kernel'.
'Recovery' partition was split into 'recovery_ramdisk', 'recovery_vendor' and 'recovery_vbmeta', and shares the 'kernel' partition with 'ramdisk'.
The one's you probably want to flash are 'ramdisk' and 'recovery_ramdisk'. (Ramdisk is where Magisk/SuperSU goes, recovery_ramdisk is where TWRP goes)
Firmware update.zip
In this example I will be using my firmware, BLA-L29C636B132.
First start by going to http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ and enter your full firmware in the 'Enter model', click on Find Model.
This is what it will look like after you have searched. Locate the row that says FullOTA-MF and click on the 'update' link in that row.
When it's downloaded, open update.zip in your choice of archive manager and extract UPDATE.app to your desktop or somewhere easy to find.
Huawei Update Extractor:
Download Huawei Update Extractor from the link above, it's attached to first post in that thread I linked to (v0.9.9.5).
Extract the zip to your desktop (Or Downloads folder).
Enter the newly created folder that should be named 'HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5', and run HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe.
Start by going to the 'Settings' tab and uncheck 'Verify header checksum'.
(Something is wrong with the header of erecovery_ramdisk, also it's mispelled to erecovery_ramdis, or maybe character limit? The partition on phone is named correctly. This does not need to be unchecked on Nougat firmware)
Then go back to the 'Extract' tab and click on the button that says '...' and open your UPDATE.APP
Rightclick on the file you want to extract and click on 'Extract Selected', this will bring up a dialog where you choose where to extract to.
After this you can flash the file using fastboot. Take 'ramdisk' for example.
Make sure you have adb & fastboot installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)
Open up a command prompt and connect phone, reboot to fastboot mode using: usb plugged in, power + vol down, release power when phone vibrates.
Or you can use the command 'adb reboot bootloader'.
Make sure phone is recognized in fastboot mode with the command: 'fastboot devices', it should show up as a fastboot device.
Next we can flash RAMDISK.img using: 'fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img'.
On Nougat you would extract 'BOOT' from UPDATE.APP and flash using:
'fastboot flash boot BOOT.img'
Linux/Mac(?)(and Windows with perl installed, I use Strawberry Perl)
First download the splitupdate zip from above.
Extract it and enter the extracted 'split' folder, open a terminal and:
'chmod +x splitupdate'
'chmod +x crc'
Now put your UPDATE.APP in the 'split' folder and open a terminal and use the following command:
'./splitupdate UPDATE.APP file_to_extract'. If you write 'file_to_extract' or anything that is or is not in the UPDATE.APP it will list all images in it.
Typing './splitupdate UPDATE.APP' will extract all files in UPDATE.APP
It will output files to the newly created 'output' folder. The filtering is not perfect. If you use './splitupdate UPDATE.APP RAMDISK', it will extract all images with RAMDISK in its name, so you will get RAMDISK.img and RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img. This is fine for me as the original script extracted everything, which takes long for the larger images.
And if you use the 'special' version:
'chmod +x simg2img'
'chmod +x mount.sh'
I edited the splitupdate script for the 'special' version just to make it easier for me as I like to check SYSTEM, VENDOR, PROCDUCT and those images for changes.
So it made it easier if it extracted directly to the root of 'split' folder instead of 'output', then I could run the mount.sh script directly.
To use mount.sh, first edit the script and replace YOUR_SUDO_PASSWORD_HERE with your password or remove 'echo YOUR_SUDO_PASSWORD_HERE | ' and input password manually when it asks.
Then simply extract SYSTEM.img (or Product, vendor, odm whichever you like) and './mount.sh SYSTEM' (yes, no extension).
This will convert SYSTEM.img to SYSTEM.raw and mount it to 'split_folder/SYSTEM/' as a loop device, it will also chmod 777 everything in SYSTEM/.
Linux ADB and Fastboot
Use google for this one. ADB usually works fine right away, Fastboot might get 'no permissions' and need to be run as sudo if it's missing udev permissions/entries.
You can make fastboot work without sudo but it's easier to google it as it might get lengthy and there are a lot of different distros of linux (I use Ubuntu)

Hi ante0, i have downloaded the bla a09 8.0.0.109 c567 which is the recent update for my US mate 10 pro version, i was using hisuite to update my phone which is failing but i was able to grab the update which it down loaded and it has the following files in it, bla-a09_hw_usa( which contains update_full_BLA-A09_hw_usa, public( which contains update_data_full_public), update.zip which contains update.app and other xml files, i have already bl unlocked and rooted with supersu but i wanted to install magisk and i installed twrp and tried sideloading magisk but it fails stating boot image already modified and advised flask stock boot, so which files do i need to flash and what are the fastboot commands to do so and i was also thinking about complete bl lock just to make it look like new phone and how do i do that, please direct me, thank you.

I think to update you'll need to:
A) Unroot your supersu.
B) Restore stock boot and restore your stock recovery with guide in OP and with the firmware files actually installed on your phone.
Then you could root oreo with magisk.

there lies my problem, i am trying to flash an updated stock firmware than the one that came with my phone, i have unrooted supersu and deleted supersu app and dont have root anymore confirmed by rootcheck apps, since my boot is already patched once magisk wont flash and advising me to flash stock boot image but i dont know which to flash as with oreo there seems to be different partitions and i dont know commands other than basic fastbbot commands to flash stuff.

ok so i was able to flash ramdisk, recovery and system and boot back to OS ( i have earlier erased system by mistake) and i have flashed system.img from updated firmware but version still shows old one, and i am trying to use funkyhuawei erecovery method to flash the updated firmware and when i boot to erecovery to update but the update button is missing and i just have rebbot, wipe date/fr and wipe cache, so what do i need to flash and commands for it in order to make erecovery work and i have update button enabled, thank you.

If you can, use the HWOTA method instead. It's free and found: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
If you can't use HWOTA and have to use Funky:
You seem to be in normal Recovery. You should see a button that says 'Download latest firmware', the one you're describing is showing buttons that are in normal Recovery.
Are you booting using Usb plugged in + vol up + power?

For some reason my phone would only boot to revovery and not erecocery, anyway i used hisuite method and was able to flash new firmware. Thank you.

I've just unbricked my Mate 10 pro via this method. Thank you Sir.

Not sure if this is the right place but where can I find the original Huawei OS it was shipped with? I installed Lineage and want to go back to Factory.
I just want to .img file. I have only unlocked the bootloader not rooted the phone.
Lack of camera and other features means I need to get back.
Any ideas?

You bricked your device because you don't know what you are doing,not because of this guide.Oh,and i thought KangRom was responsible for bricking you device....anyone else to blame ?

My phone was bricked because of Lineage OS, and i unbricked with this guide. Read my post first.

lol,i've read "bricked"... .I apologize for that!:good:

There is no way at least for the US version to find firmwares shipped with phone until now, i figured it out by connecting phone to hisuite on PC and it showed update available and i clicked update and waited until download part of update process completed and then i went to documents folder and hisuite and the app stores the download there and it will have 3 zip files, u can copy them to a different place because once the update completes those files are deleted. Might be the same for other models if supported by hisuite.

It should say your current firmware (besides Lineage) in Settings -> (System?) -> About.

It's better to use:

I'm not sure if symlinks will be set up correctly if you flash images directly. And some partitions can't be flashed from fastboot (like the erecovery ones)

[GUIDE][REDMI 7A] Root with Magisk on Miui 11.0.7 Global

Well, a lot of people wanting to root global miui 11.0.7 and not being able to... So I did it on my Global redmi 7a - MIUI 11.0.7 Global.
Simple though. Apart from whats being said, u can update Magisk to v20.+ after flashing
the 19 version, through the app Magisk Manager automatically installed after flashing.
Prerequisites & Downloads:
- Your bootloader must be unlocked (https://en.miui.com/unlock/)
- ADB and Fastboot -> I did on windows version, maybe can be done on linux...
- patched boot.img for miui 11.0.7 global
- vbmeta.img
- Magisk v19.3 zip -> place it on the root of your external sdcard
This is basically copied from cg730620's post [Guide][Redmi 7A] TWRP, Root with Magisk, Custom ROM [GSI][Pie] and Avedroid's vid
1 - Unlock bootloader and flash stock miui 11.0.7 recovery rom, using miflash 2017
CAREFUL! On the lower right corner check the first option, "clean all", or you may end up with a locked bootloader.
-> exactly the same from the quoted post from now on, what differs is the files and we are only flashing magisk v19.3
"2. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. Rename patched boot file to boot.img
4. Rename custom recovery file to recovery.img
5. Place boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img in Program Files (x86)/Minimal ADB and Fastboot/ folder
6. Turn off your phone.
7. Reboot phone to fastboot mode by holding Volume-down button while pressing On/Off-button. You know you are in fastboot mode when you see a cartoon bunny.
8. Connect the phone to your PC via USB.
9. On your PC open command prompt and nagivate to ADB folder, or open command prompt window directly from right-click menu in ADB folder; just right-click on empty space and choose 'Open command prompt here'
10. In command prompt, enter the following commands:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. Now reboot to recovery: Press Volume-Up button on your phone and enter the following in command prompt:
or just turn off the phone and reboot by holding Volume-Up and On/Off button (release On/Off when phone turns on, keep holding Volume-Up until you see screen of TWRP recovery)
12. Swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for PIN, enter the PIN code you set for your unlock screen.
13. In TWRP choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'. Then Swipe to Wipe.
18. In TWRP choose Install. Select the Magisk zip-file on your phone and then Swipe to confirm flash.
Reboot to system, open Magisk, update and there u go.
Same steps of the beginning of Avedroid's video, only with modified boot.img and Magisk Version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSs08O6uGVI&t=324s
After 16:30 of the video he flashes a custom gsi rom which is not of the interest of this thread, just flash magisk.
Thanks to all who made it possible, especially Avedroid and cg730620
Post questions and answers here, please, NOT in PM.
Good luck!

Thank's it's work fine on custom gsi too, i just flash patch boot, vbmeta, finally install magisk success

I did everything right, however, when it came to installing Magisk, the following error occurred: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1".
So I redid the whole process, but before installing Magisk I did the following: I went to Mount, I deselected the System partition and after that the installation proceeded normally.
Well, I don’t know if this is the best way to fix this problem, I don’t understand much of these things, but it ended up working for me.
Thanks for the post
I will do some tests to see if everything is working.

I wish to obtain root / access to magisk,
Wanting to know if I can do this without losing data (having to delete system data)
Thank you

Hello.
So I was trying to root my Redmi 7A - v10.2.1 with TWRP 3.3.1 but now I am stuck in a bootloop.
What I did:
1. Flash boot.img
2. Flash recovery.img
3. Flash vbmeta.img
4. reboot
Phone rebooted to system and TWRP was installed.
Then I booted to TWRP to install Magisk-v23.0.zip,
I went to Advanced Wipe, then wiped 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'.
When I rebooted, it went into a bootloop, when I go to TWRP it says 'No OS INSTALLED".
What did I do wrong? And how to recover?
Thanks.

How To Guide [GUIDE] Beginner's guide on how to root Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet) without TWRP

I decided to make this guide since I didn't see a guide thread which explains how to root the phone.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for ANY damage that occurs to the phone, you getting fired because the alarm app failed or the world getting nuked, etc...
Requirements:
-A unlocked bootloader (if you don't know how to unlock it, search "How to unlock bootloader Xiaomi"
-boot.img extracted from your phone's fastboot rom (MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOADED THE EXACT SAME ROM THAT YOUR PHONE HAS (Check "About phone" in settings. Make sure that the version AND the code (RK(something)XM) match, if you have MIUI).
xiaomifirmwareupdater site contains unmodified MIUI roms for your device.
-If you have a custom rom, extract the rom's zip and get the boot.img from there.
-ADB and Fastboot drivers installed on phone and PC
-SDK Platform tools downloaded from official android website. Extract the downloaded zip to desktop and rename it to platform_tools
-A Computer
-Basic understanding of CMD, ADB and Fastboot commands.
-The phone
If you see an error, scroll down to the troubleshooting section.
Steps:
(on the pc)
-Copy the boot.img file to the phone's downloads folder
(in the phone)
-Download the magisk app from the official github site
-Install the app, then open it.
-In the app, select install on the magisk card

}
-Select patch a file, then find and select boot.img.
-Tap "let's go".
(on the pc)
-Connect your phone to your PC and copy magisk_patched.img from the phone (should be in downloads folder) back to the pc.
-Rename the file to magisk.img, then move it to the platform_tools folder which contains fastboot.exe.
-Now reboot the phone and when the screen goes fully black, hold volume down button until you see "fastboot".
-Your phone should now be in fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the pc.
-Press win+r, then type cmd
-Type cd desktop
-Type cd platform_tools
-Type fastboot devices (if you see nothing, make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers, that the phone is connected and is in fastboot mode.)
-Type this carefully: fastboot flash boot magisk.img
-Done! Now reboot the phone by typing: fastboot reboot
-If you did everything correctly, the magisk app should say that it is installed.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Q:Fastboot says it couldn't find "magisk.img" or CMD says fastboot doesn't exist
A: Make sure that cmd says that its in C:\Users\(name)\Desktop\platform_tools and that magisk.img is also in there.
Q: Phone is in bootloop
A: Hold volume down button until phone is in fastboot and flash stock boot.img with fastboot flash boot.img. (You will not have root access) If the phone is still somehow in a bootloop, execute the flash_all_except_storage.bat script by double clicking it (found in the sweet_(region)_images folder you extracted from the full fastboot rom .tgz file).

(on the pc)
-Connect your phone to your PC and copy magisk_patched.img from the phone (should be in downloads folder) back to the pc.
-Rename the file to magisk.img, then move it to the platform_tools folder which contains fastboot.exe.
-Now reboot the phone and when the screen goes fully black, hold volume down button until you see "fastboot".
View attachment 5474801
-Your phone should now be in fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the pc.
-Press win+r, then type cmd
-Type cd desktop
-Type cd platform_tools
-Type fastboot devices (if you see nothing, make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers, that the phone is connected and is in fastboot mode.)
-Type this carefully: fastboot flash boot magisk.img
-Done! Now reboot the phone by typing: fastboot reboot
-If you did everything correctly, the magisk app should say that it is installed.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Q:Fastboot says it couldn't find "magisk.img" or CMD says fastboot doesn't exist
A: Make sure that cmd says that its in C:\Users\(name)\Desktop\platform_tools and that magisk.img is also in there.
Qhone is in bootloop
A: Hold volume down button until phone is in fastboot and flash stock boot.img with fastboot flash boot.img. (You will not have root access) If the phone is still somehow in a bootloop, execute the flash_all_except_storage.bat script by double clicking it (found in the sweet_(region)_images folder you extracted from the full fastboot rom .tgz file).

Very good but easier with unlocked bootloader and flashing twrp via adb flash recovery "name of twrp file". Afterwards you can flash directly magisk (I prefer 23 canary debug apk) to root.

if i may add to the troubleshooting: if it says magisk.img isn't found, just type this (after confirming connection with fastboot devices command:
fastboot flash boot
then drag and drop the patched magisk file onto the cmd window/line where you typed the command above. worked for me.

Tanks you

For beginners, "assuming bootloader is unlocked if not click here" should be mentioned.

I've searched around, and it seems to be caused by a VPN. If you use a VPN, turn it off and try again. If not, it could be that the Xiaomi unlocking API is down temporarily.

When I root my Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet) by using twrp to flash magisk 25.2 and lazyflasher-no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip, I receive following message
.
Nevertheless, I reboot my phone which is effectively rooted.
I can then install Magisk manager.
Has someone an idea about the meaning of this error message ?
Thanks in advance.

No need to flash lazy flasher since you already flashed Magisk. They both do the same which is to disable dm verity. Also, lazy flasher is an old zip intended for old devices so maybe that's why it failed.

THis is the stupidest guide for beginners, this article assumes you have unlocked your phone in the first place. All the important steps are just skipped and is stuffed in the requirements. And just shows simple screenshots that even a child would know where to click.
No external links to find the sources.

While unlocking the bootloader I'm having the issue linked below, thanks in advance for all and any responses. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mi-unlock-country-code-broken.4572339/

No need TWRP or O.F for rooting.
Root***:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
***
This is the most common current method.
On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required.

Yep, normally but you may have to use another version of Magisk.

I am also having issues like OP
My phone Redmi 9 M2003J15SS Miui 13.0.2 (Stable)
Already patched via magisk and copy that image to pc and run fastboot with exact command..
But after sending some files, it says
Sending 'boot_ab' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.538s]
Writing 'boot_ab' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Can you help with that?
Do I have to open a new thread? I am new here. I just see your valuable post and seems the same scenario as OP except for the model number.
Also can you help me to provide these On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required. if needed.
This is my first time and i am a noob

Use this command but it looks like you have to use vbmeta,disable-verity.

Nope, if your device is rooted, now.

How To Guide Root and flash any GSI on Redmi 11 Prime 5G (light)

First things first. What you need:
Platform tools
MIUI 14 Beta Stable Stock ROM
Android OTA Extractor
Device updated to MIUI 14 Beta
Magisk app installed on the phone​
Step 1
Extract MIUI 14 zip on your PC. Move payload.bin to Android OTA extractor folder.
Open terminal in the same folder.
Enter following command:
Android-ota-extractor.exe payload.bin
Let it extract.
Step 2
Root your phone via Magisk app.
Move the boot.img extracted from payload.bin to you phone's internal storage.
Open Magisk app.
Click install, select file and patch.
Once done, move your patched boot image to your PC and put it in platform-tools folder.
Reboot device into bootloader.
Open terminal in platform-tools folder.
Enter the following:
cmd
Press ENTER
fastboot flash boot patched_magisk_(press TAB to autocomplete).img
Let it finish. Reboot. Check if device is rooted.
Step 3
Download a GSI of your choice. I personally tested Pixel Experience Base/Plus and Evolution X by ponces. Extract and put the img file in platform-tools.
Reboot to fastboot.
Enter the following:
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot erase system
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot flash system yourgsiname.img
fastboot -w
If you want root just enter (you might actually need it, check footnotes)
fastboot reboot
If you don't, then flash the stock unpatched boot.img and reboot.
The process is done. Footnotes:
Set up the device offline. Go to phh treble settings. Select Misc.
Install ims package check both:
Request IMS
Force 4G Calling....
Reboot
Now continue setting up and logging in with your google account. SMS verification should work now.
The problems:
Incoming calls will go through on the callers side but won't pop up on your phone. Some say it might be fixed by using the Truecaller app as default phone app but I haven't tested.
Refresh rate is finicky. You need root for this. Do the following:
Download the Dfps magisk module. While you're at it download the Universal SafetyNet bypass module as well. Enable Zygisk in Magisk app and install both modules. Reboot. Should mostly be fixed now.
That's all folks.
