Honor 3C 4G (H30-L02) Brick help & fastboot filesize - Honor 3C Questions & Answers

I just bought this Huawei Honor 3C 4G (H30-L02)
I managed to delete the whole OS. I have TWRP for my device but it will not install anything I put in my card.
Fastboot will not install because the files are too big. I also think that drive(if it's not part of a bigger drive) is 500mb.
I tried to rezise and everything was completed as it should. But the partition had not changed afterall.
I'm also new to these MKT phones so I would need some assistanse.
I have TWRP and fastboot/recovery working.
I might have fastboot flash:raw the TWRP (lol) so is that my current OS, I don't know.
How do I delete the whole phone or install a firmware?
I Appreciate any suggestion, please help me cause I kind of liked the phone too.
I might hand over a 6 pack for the one with the right solution! :good:

Yes, indeed, LiveTWRP will no longer work on newer builds, i am afraid you will need to flash the recovery to device if you want to use it.
After all, the 'Live' version is a bonus, and without source i have no idea what they did that caused it failed to boot.

Live TWRP part confirmed, it can no longer be used with newer EMUI version.
For sdcard problem, can you confirm your device is H3C H30-U10? Not H3W or other variant? Intl. or China set?
I would suggest you to try the following:
1) Reset TWRP settings
2) Try other SD card, different brand if possible.
3) Smaller storage size, eg: If you are using 16GB now, try one with lower size like 8GB, 4GB.
4) Format the SD card with android, remove any extra feature such as sdcard encryption.

I believed you have it connected to internet and checked for update and there is no OTA available for your device, correct?
Unfortunely HW has removed the download link for B110, i do not have any backup for B110 either, i didn't download it earlier.
For now i think what you can do it ask your friend or some else with B110 to do a TWRP backup and use the backup to restore.
You need to restore /system & /cust partitions only, once you have done that do a factory data reset from a booted system.
I wish i could help more but i have the slowest internet on the planet so nothing i can do here.

TWRP B110 backup from your country? Yea, that would be fine too, but if you have the B110 UPDATE.APP that would be better.
I am not sure if B108 locked BL could survive TWRP restore without first soft-bricking it, i didn't try that, or i tried but forgot ...

I had checked all steps you've been explained, but it goes failed when i flashed the rom through TWRP

By the way, i had root emui 2.3 and verify by root checker, but i had problem with busybox. I cannot install it.

Help please
Hello! I downloaded the firmware EMUI2.3_H30-U10_4.9.1 and did everything you wrote, but after extracting the firmware by HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.8.0 I did found in the folder the file '_PrepareFiles.exe' (item 13 of your post)! What is wrong? Thank you!!!

dear sir,
it is great to have your guide with me, i just wanted to make a suggestion, at the point where you have summarize the steps for installing kit kat on international hand sets, please write an instruction that all international users must have unlocked their phones, before rom update, so after upgrading they could run live TWRP easily.
Thanks and regards once again.
Hello! I downloaded the firmware EMUI2.3_H30-U10_4.9.1 to flash the phone by Flash Tool.

Honor 5C Fastboot Loop (image verification error)

I have been using my Huawei Honor 5C for 6 month. Week ago, I decided to try updating my firmware from android 6 to 7. I have bricked my phone at all, as FRP was locked. I bought a DC Phoenix license and flashed some files, which I recieved from DC Support.
Everything was OK, but two days ago I tried to root my phone and install TWRP. When I try to do that, it gives me:
Fastboot: FAILED (remote: image verification error)
Contacting with DC Support doesnt give any help, as they dont know why it happens.
Did smb has the same problem as mine? If so, how did you solve it? I dont wanna buy DC license for a second time

You probably messed up like me.
I think you should download full update of the 6.0 firmware and then ^take out^ boot.img recovery.img. And system.img. Then install it through adb. 1.boot 2.recovery 3.system. It should help.
Someone told me about it in Nem-L21 Nougat tread.
I left my in Huawei seewis centre. They exchanged motherboard - it Was easiet way for them.

I have already tried it. I downloaded NEM-L51C432B130 FullOTA, unzipped it using Huawei Extractor app and flashed boot, cust, system, recovery and recovery2. After that, i rebooted my phone and had a critical error screen, which said me that I need to flash system partition (but I have flashed it). I also tried flashing rollback first, but it gives the same error. Finally, I fully flashed beta rom of android 7 and the phone has booted. The problem is that one archive of Android 7 rom has extra "data" folder, which contains system apps such as Bluetooth, Finger Scanner, Update Utility, EMUI Explorer and some others. Without them I cant use my phone, cause I often use these options. This archive with "data" folder needs to be flashed through TWRP, but I cant install TWRP on my phone (see thread question). I dont know what to do...

I know. I has Nexus 7 and it has the easiest way for flashing firmware. I dont understand why Google (or Huawei for EMUI) didnt preinstalled a small extended board with stock ROM for rescue purpose. So that, if somebody bricked his phone, he could be able to fastly rescue his phone and make it work. The worst problem of fastboot is that fastboot partition can be damaged, while you flash something. Anyway, android devs are better made FRP lock, which is useless and can be easily removed... Or they are better made some new androids every 3-6 month, wow, thats cool (no)
This problem had no solution yet. There is only one way, how I could make my phone fully-workable - wait for a stable ROM of Android 7 abd flash it through fastboot.

TWRP is gone

Here's my situation:
My phone's original build number is VTR-L29-C63C6 but I flashed the Oreo update for European units which is 8.0.0.046(01BN). So there are quite a few features that's not working for me and I wanted to flash my region's update instead. But whenever I'm on the process of having the TWRP installed, I always get an error message saying: FAILED (remote: partition length get error). Currently stuck due to this. I hope someone could help me out here on how I could flash the TWRP again on my phone. Would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Here is the solution (forwad)
This is TWRP to Mate 9/Android O, brought to you by FunkyHuawei. This will also work for the Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Mate 10 Porsche and other EMUI 8 devices.
It´s just a preliminary build so I can´t promise anything/everything will work! Keep that in mind. I´m not responsible if you brick your device.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
It works on the Android O build here:
and the official European beta.
To install:
First, have Android O running. Unlock the bootloader. Download the twrp image.
Then, run in fastboot mode:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_android_o_mate9_a1.img
Then, reboot holding volume up, and you´ve got TWRP!
Note: With the Android O update, it is no longer possible to flash the recovery2 partition. Furthermore, the names of the partitions have changed. Please keep that in mind, and don´t mess around too much with TWRP, to be sure you don´t brick your system!

I have a similar problem.
I had VTR-L09C02B159 which I've rooted and tried to put the VTR-L09C900B311 Oreo on. Due to inexperience I've ended up with 8.0.0.046(01BN) version I don't know how to get rid of.
After a lot of searching I've managed to put TWRP back on using the method quoted above but I'm stuck here.
Ideally, I'd like to rebrand my phone to C432 and I'd be happy to rollback to Android 7 for now. I feel like I could rollback if I was on C432, or rebrand if I was on Android 7, easily, but no clue how to do both. Any ideas how to proceed?
Thank you

Big Problem after phone rooting

Hello,
As a preface I have to say I'm less than a newbie in this matter.
My Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1) had problems with lack of internal memory, so I decided to find a solution.
Following suggestions coming from some forums, I decided to root the phone to move the apps to an external microSD card and free the internal memory.
I got the unlock code and I used Multi-Tool for Huawei v.8.0.7.1 to root the phone.
After rooting I found in my phone only few apps and even Google App Store and keyboard were missing. To fix this last problem I downloaded and installed Gboard apk and then Firefox (no browser ar all in the phone).
Nevertheless, I can't even setup the Google account in the phone because in account settings is not available any Google option.
I'd like to setup the phone to install the apps and then change partitions and move the apps to the external SD card.
These are the installations I applied via the Multi-Tool:
- TWRP-3.1.1-2_by_greatslon.zip
- SR1-SuperSU-v2.82.zip
Please, could you help me on try to fix this issue?
I'm available even to do everything from the beginning if better, but I need to fix this issue.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Bets regards,
GP
Hi,
You need to format data using eRecovery. Flash it back if you have twrp, format user data then flash twrp and root etc..

Could you write me the link to the original firmware ROM? If needed, how can I get the IMEI number for my phone from the TWRP? Is it possible? I think is needed to identify the single/dual sim model, is it right?

I recommend you to look at htc mania for a ROM (you can find the phone there as Huawei P9Lite 2017, altough I can't say for sure that the phones are exactly identical so I don't know if it will work for you but gsm arena says that they are the same phones with different names). I'm on mobile right now, sorry can't give you the link.
I need to ask you (unrelated to your problem), what command did you use when installing TWRP?

Hello Jhon_Locke,
first of all, thank you very much for your answer to my message. I'm going to check htc mania to try to fix my issue.
About TWRP installation, I used Multi-Tool for Huawei and Honor v. 8 to install TWRP in my phone, so I didn't use a direct command.
Thank you very much again!

Sunmi v2 Unblock - install fresh OS - Root

Hi guys,
I have a sunmi v2 android PDA, and i want to remove blocked OS.
I can't find bootloader, or i dont know how to enter on it, also i want to install a recovery mode to flash a new ROM.
Someone can help me please with this problem?
Thank You.
Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find a way to do it?
Can you tell me please?
Thank you
I have V.1.. Firstly, are you guys able to allow installation of apps from "Unknown Sources"?
Just wondering if you ever managed to load android onto the V2 and remove the Sunmi OS? I have managed to enable dev mode and allow untrusted sources but on installing google play services and store all I get is crash reports and have to factory reset.
Thanks
J
Can you tell me what you did to install apps from untrusted sources? and what progress have you managed to make?

To enable untrusted sources I had dev mode on but under security > device admin > unknown sources. I don't know if you need to enable dev mode to turn that on but if so go to about > build number > tap until it enables. I'm not really a software guy and was hoping someone on the internet would have a solution to rooting the device and maybe ADB it, I did ask a software engineer friend of mine and he did some research on them, these things talk to Sunmi's servers on boot with the current FW so they are heavily locked down, so progress wise for me is it's been in a drawer since January and I'm hoping someone will have a way to root the thing :S
So I have no idea about Android things but I bought secondhand Sunmi V2 that is locked on Glovo aplication.
For the last week I managed to do some research about that:
1. The thing runs custom OS with some kind of recovery-from-boot.p thing that prevents most of modifications, cause after reboot it reverts some system things.
2. I tried to use SP flash tool to do full backup, made mine scatter file and thing I have no idea about
3. Managed to download TWRP recovery to device recovery partition with use of SP flash tool, this did not do anything and the thing booted to Phoenix recovery as normal....
4. With the help of WWR 2.51 I managed to install applications on it...
5. Installed Kingroot, didnt do anything, installed, APKPure, works nice, Magisk, dont know how to root...
6. Tried installing google play, it says it is installed, cant uninstall it nor open it...
7. Can't and don't know how to enter fastboot...
8. I am afraid to flash complete ROM from some other same chipset device...
9. After powering up, Sunmi connects to its own server and does some kind of evil magic to preinstall software and settings.
10. I contacted Sunmi, they kinda don't want to help, cause I will resell device after unblocking it.
11. Fount "that guy" from youtube that does unlocking it, on the minus side he wants money for unlock... and from his videos he flashes complete EMMC_USER bin to device to unlock google play.
Do anyone know which steps can I take further to try to unlock it by myself?
I have some spare time at work to do this kind of playing around.
Update:
I managed to extract system.img from device and I am able to browse files on it, the plan is to see can i change some files and setting in it and reflash it back to device. This is all overwhelming to me as I have no experience in android development.

I managed to extract system.img from device and I am able to browse files on it, the plan is to see can i change some files and setting in it and reflash it back to device. This is all overwhelming to me as I have no experience in android development.

Thank you for the update, Im following this thread to see how this goes. Im trying to unlock my Sunmi V1 too
I managed to brick it, stuck at boot looping... Somehow I redownload boot and system from my backup with SP flash tool and got it working back again...
So I tried using ASSAYED Kitchen and remove some Bloatware, rebuild it, and upload it back to device, used two files: System.img and boot.img... This bricked my device.
What am I doing wrong? This must surely be my error. Do I need to do something to recovery partition?
UPDATE:
Managed to install custom recovery TWRP, made it myself using Carliv Image Kitchen
UPDATE 2:
Even thou TWRP seems working, It does not mount any partitions: /data, /system... Invalid argument...
Does anyone know how to fix it easy way? because I cant find too similar custom TWRP to Sunmi...
Any custom system.img that I flash with SP tool does not want to boot, never, and even if I only open ASSAYED Kitchen, do nothing and repack it. Is the only way to install it with TWRP?
BIG UPDATE:
I have done 99% of the job!
I could write full from zero to hero tutorial for this, but basically I used TWRP to recover /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml and edit it as I pleased and unlock google play.

I am also looking forward to the results you have done
So amazing!!
I am slowly loosing interest in this. Whatever I do it is just endless loop...
When I modify package-restrictions.xml and settings_secure.xml files I got GooglePlay and Maps and stuff, but first time you connect the device to internet, SunmiBaseService overwrites them with options used for this DeviceID.
I renamed this SunmiBaseService to something else, got this working, but then since the whole thing runs on this sunmi backbone you can't install any apk's. I can normally install apks using USB and enabled BaseService.
It would be best if I could have just normal Android on this thing since it is unusable if you block BaseService, and if you would do any system upgrade on some point in time it would overwrite and install this service by itself. Like I said, it is endless loop. Even after contacting sunmi my region cant't have this for private use.
I can provide all files used in this process, my scatter files, my TWRP recovery and else...
The question is is it possible to port clean Android to this device, like we install new windows on a PC?
Hello guys, any news for Sunmi? I got one, but i wan't to remove the OS, or enable Play on it.

No, I tried everything I know. Only thing that I did not do is replacing sunmibase service with some kind of android base service or paying some youtube guy 20$ for unlocking, but I doubt it would work correctly. Couse after you, in some point in time, update software or something I highly doubt it would work after that.
