[Q] Can't restore stock recovery, only TWRP works.

Hi,
I'm on b133 rooted, bootloader unlocked and set_immutable.list removed.
I extracted and flashed trough adb the stock recovery from B121, B126, B133, B135 firmwares. The flash is ok but then no one work.
I tried even this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53980121&postcount=4
When the phone try to boot in recovery it gets stuck on the first Huawei Ascend logo.
The only recovery that work is TWRP recovery. What can I do? How can I restore stock recovery?
The smartphone by the way is fully functional.
I'm talking about P7-L10

chrome://mega/content/secure.html#!BoUWjASI!PfSWMroeQB-QBAumV92qCaJ_QX6ln0avT3epXDwBm44, extract update.app to sd card/dload folder then try local update... this should work, but if not try force update!

is your phone branded? if yes mybe you have to first debrand in order to avoid problem like missing motion config voices...
otherwhise you first have to flash stock emui recovery and than download b609 fw (and then follow a guide here in xda to have full emui 3 function if you have missing features)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343 a cwm version... read the thread

Yes, my p7 isnt from any operator and, where i can get the stock "recocery.img" for p7 l10?

maybe here on xda.... but for sure downoload your fw rom (b121) and open update.app with huawei update extractor...select recovery.img, right click with mouse, extract seleceted... that's all, you can flash the recovery like you've done with twrp

[GUIDE] Get rid of balong bug/get back local update on 6.0/unlock bootloader[ALE-L21]

First of all, what is balong bug?
Balong Bug is when you update to a newer firmware that was not meant for your country, your phone doesn't recognize the correct version of your software(instead of correct version it will show balongc53b311) and you can't do ota update.
So in order to get rid of balong bug, when you update your software to a newer version, in the archive you've downloaded there are 2 folders: one contains the firmware update and one folder named custom or vendor which contains update.app for balong bug.
So all you have to do is to install via local update the update.app from vendor/custom folder.
I've tried to find for as many as possibile versions i could find.
I've made an archive of all vendor folders. Download from here
Here is the list from archive:
B049
B120
B130
B132
B133
B171
B551
Now, in order to get local update back, you'll need to have unlocked bootloader and twrp installed because you'll need to flash an archive.
First, make sure you have installed the correct drivers, then enable usb debugging from developer options(tap 7 times on build number to unlock developer)
To unlock bootloader you'll need to register on huawei then enter your details here.
If you have dual sim,enter your main imei;
After you've done all this you'll have a 10 digit code number, save it.
Now download minimal adb fastboot from here and install it.
Plug the phone into pc, open cmd window in minimal folder(shift + right click -> open new command here), type:
Code:
adb devices
and in return it will show something like
Code:
123213asdsa231 device
. After this type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. Now you are in fastboot and here you'll unlock your bootloader by tiping this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock yourcode
. If you done all this, now it will show on the bottom Phone Unlocked.
Now you need TWRP from here.
Flash it via fastboot with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery image_name.img
.
Enter twrp, flash this archive.
Now you've got back your local update!.
In order to get back stock recovery, donwload your current firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract recovery.img from update.app and flash it via fastboot with the same command used to flash twrp.
If you have questions, ask here.

Please add the newer B564 to the patch

I'm sorry, but i can't find for b564 ...

hey i tried updating locally on b560, but am stuck at 19% for like half an hour...

Bootloader is now unlocked, fast boot works as i can boot to bootloader but i cant push twrp for some reason.
Edit: fixed, wasn't looking for the correct file to put twrp into.
So i flashed B550 i think which doesn't have Vendor file, how can i get to B551 or one that does, will i need to downgrade first.

My South African ALE-L02 is currently running Android 6.0 C636B530, with the Balong error after the firmware upgrade.. Would I be able to simply flash the Vendor (Custom) file, or do I need to follow other steps first?

then installed c432b638
my data and apps was not deleted.

Honor 5c/7 Lite Root on Android 7 / EMUI 5.0

Hello,
I'm trying to root my honor 5c/7 lite that is running android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 on it and it runs very smooth , but when I flash TWRP 3.1.0.0, twrp never loads up, it's just stuck in "You device is booting now" when trying to enter recovery.
The method I use is the manual method via bootloader:
HTML:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
And yes my bootloader is obviously unlocked!
I did only have 20% battery left however, if that affects it at all?
Before I flashed Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 onto the device, I had no problem rooting it the same way with the same recovery.
UPDATE:
I'm now on android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1.2
I have flash TWRP 3.1.0.0 and rooted with superSu v2.79 SR3

Refer to the honor site for downgrade instruction. U need to flash a seperate update.app before flashing the full update.app. U will get these all in the downgrade instructions.

In the rollback instructions u will find a seperate update.app and a full update.app. U need to first flash the seperate update.app by putting it in dload folder. After flashing that reboot then replace that dload folder with the full update in dload. Flash that. Then u will be on EMUI 4.

Ok, I have successfully downgraded my phone now. Is it now possible to root my phone then flash android 7 onto it?

You can root it after flashing Emui 5, but u can't flash twrp as of now. Twrp for Emui 5 is not available right now.

I just flashed lineage OS 13 instead

So there is no way to root emui 5/android 7 without rolling back to 6?

same issue here. if twrp doesn't support emui 5 as of now, aren't there any other recoveries for it like cwm or anything else? tried kingroot etc with no luck.. and nougat update came with SO MUCH bloatware that needs to be uninstalled asap!

bloatware doesnt eat battey, unless you have 1 gb sdcard it should be fine. also you can delete all data and disable them.

In Huawei P9 lite thread there is a Twrp recovery for nougat, EMUI 5. Developer is oldDroid. He wants to support honor 5c with his twrp. Bt he needs testers. Just contact him if u want.

Softbricked and can't find Stock Rom

I got myself into a bootloop by being an idiot.
I attempted to flash Lineage OS from the openkirin website using fastboot and something went wrong putting me into a bootloop.
Now i want to go back to stock.
I can still get into TWRP as well as Fastboot mode (bootloader and FRP unlocked).
The problem is i can't seem to find the stock rom for my phone (VTR-L29C738B150).
I tried to use the firmware finder but the links seem to be 404'd for my version of FULLOTA.
Any ideas on how i can recover my phone?
I tried everything outside of paid services so far.
Edit: I have also attempted erecovery however it fails.

just flash twrp backup (you shurely made before you started flashing lineage Os). Just kidding, Iam sure you didnt do any backup....
What OS version you were on before flashing Lineage OS? You can try to flash fROM future trough TWRP. But ith ase to be the one of your last OS versions (Nougat or allready Oreo?)

Alternatively you can use HurUpdater: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279

1-Hey this is the main reason Huawei stoped to give bootloader unlock codes.
2-If you have TWRP backup, just restore it and you should be good to go.
3-To help you i have to know what Os you were on before this happend and what did you did that you stuck on bootscreen.
