I am looking into possibly creating a solution that allows us frequent flashers to more easily update our device.
So basically, the solution will have these functionality:
1) Thick client on the devices that monitors latest ROM updates.
2) Users can browse for latest ROMS
3) Users can elect to flash ROMS via the software on the device
4) Software downloads the ROM in the background
5) Users can initiate ROM upgrade from the device after the ROM (RHODIMG.nbh) is downloaded
If there are interests, I would definitely need some help. If someone has an answer to these questions, please sound off.
- Does anyone have access to a file server that allows programmatic access either via web service or other protocol?
- Any graphic designer willing to help out with the UI?
- Any good hostng or suggestions on how to host this solution?
I AM VERY SORRY, I THINK I AM IN THE WRONG FORUM!

Sorry dude... I do not have root myself just yet. Let's wait for other to share root..
Asus Zenfone 4 lollipop can be easily rooted using temporary cwm session for intel device method. T2 method works fine. I have tried this and it works fine.

About the project
This is a Asp.Net Core Web Api endpoint providing a replica of the Huawei API to get the recovery / update service to actually work.
It works using a local DNS server to redirect the phones traffic to the local API offering the desired firmware infos.
I only tested it against the PRA-LX1 right now but it should be the same for every Huawei phone.
A basic guide and the code are available at the GitHub repository.
Looking for a Linux human helping me adding a startup service executing a script with some commands!
Also need a macOS user to help me write a Installation guide for that system. A Hackintosh just isnt the same.
GitHub repository:
https://github.com/Iocere/HuaweiWebApi
Windows installation guide
Things I'm working on
Spoofing the other endpoints
True independence of the official recovery servers
Adding a GUI if when .NET Core finally get XAML support or make use of Electron or a local website but I cant be arsed :/
Ease of use
Changelog
07.12.2017 | Resivion 6
- Added a preconfigured VirtualBox Image containing Ubuntu Server with recovery server. You can find it on the GitHub.
- Added a proper Wiki and a better(?) guide to get it running on windows with use of the VirtualBox image.
06.12.2017 | Resivion 5
- Removed static IP address from the DNS server and moved it to the configuration file. Sorry!
- Updated the guide to fit to the changes.
Feel free to contribute.
Just got phone today and I'm PRA-LX1C432B115 firmware no updates when search out the box , but firmware finder says higher build B191 yet when check compatibility says not for device,
What does this do force updates or summit? Thanks
Sent from my PRA-LX1 using Tapatalk
With this you can force the update yes. The default version in this application is B110. After you restored to that one you can update normally to B182.
Or you try a different one like B191 but i cant guarantee that it's working. Our device in the files from huawei is also listed as L11 or something.
Edit: Found a bug. Updated the repo.
Can anyone tell me where an OTA file should be found on the x4? Or could anyone help in capturing and identifing the OTA url? I have logs.
I got a notification that the OTA 1 july 2019 security update (PPWS29.69-39-2-3) is available. XT1900-1 Android One google fi version, bootloader unlocked, TWRP, magisk, edXposed. Of course, since I'm not quite 100% stock my device notifies that it failed to apply the update. But I'm not sure if it stopped before or after downloading it. I understand on some devices the OTA file would be in /cache or /data/data, no luck in my searching.
Tried capturing the OTA url. I got some url but I get code 400 bad request when trying the url. Url link. Elsewhere I found the name of OTA looks to be ab_delta-Blur_Version.29.321.4-29.371.10.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US.zip
couple snips of my logs where I found the url and OTA file name.

As the OTA downloads, the token that gives access to the patch changes every few minutes. I did this the first four months of ownership of the phone. You have to have logcat running, constantly searching/fetching the latest url with new token. Only way to stop the download is to stop the service or reboot the phone. The OTA gets deleted upon install and I could not find the temporary download location.
There's no need to save the OTA now a days. Just follow the workaround in the FAQs thread.
Hello, is it possible, today is there any official or reliable tool for if I want to install the firmware from 0 to be able to do it?
I already know that deleting from the menu is "the same" but I want to download the full firmware and flash it.
Is it possible?
