Hello!
Where can I find the stock recovery .img for my VIE-L29C636? I wish to update my P9 Plus to version B632 but since my phone is rooted and I use the TWRP custom recovery, I'm not able to do so.
Cheers

Can you explain how you got it? I'm on VIE-L09C432B360 and I receive an update to B370 but when the download finishes, the phone restarts and when TWRP tries to install the update I got an error (which I can't read). My guess, the update fails because of TWRP. So I want to reinstall the stock recovery. Can you explain the steps you followed? Thanks in advance.

No problem! Haha, lucky timing, I was about to head to bed.
Anyways, you will need Android-SDK platform tools, Huawei Update Extractor, which you can download here, and the CURRENT firmware file of your device, which you can download using Huawei Firmware Finder here. Here's how you do it...
1. Find and download your firmware using Huawei Firmware Finder. Go to the common base tab and enter your CURRENT build number in the textbox labeled "Model for find". Under the "type" list, find the one that says "FullOTA" and click the link under the "Filelist". This opens a new window with a list of links. Open the link that ends with "update.zip". That will download your firmware.
2. Open the zip file and extract the file called "UPDATE.APP"
3. Open the Huawei Update Extractor, and drag and drop the "UPDATE.APP" on the window. You will see a list of files. Select and right click "RECOVERY.img", and click on "Extract Selected" and set your file destination. This is the recovery software.
4. Once it has finished extracting, simply flash it as you would with TWRP.
Hope this helps! Don't be afraid to ask if you need more help.

Thanks. I'm gonna try today.

Yep! That's how you flash the recovery.
Thanks. I hope you had a nice sleep.
Anyway I did it via flashify, but what I get is eRecovery and I think it's not the same as stock recovery.
Sorry to bother you again, but options are not the same than stock recovery. In eRecovery you haven't options to wipe, only download new versions and reboot/shutdown. As I don't know if stock recovery has been properly installed, I don't dare to install the B370 update.

Hmm, obviously that's not right... Have you tried using ADB to reboot into your recovery? Try opening a command window and try typing in "adb reboot recovery". That's usually how you get into your recovery other than turning on your phone by holding both your volume up and power button until you see the recovery screen. If that doesn't work try flashing again using adb instead of Flashify.

Hi @mechasnyper
I'm on stock B360, rooted and twrp installed. I got an update of B380 and as described by others I was unable to update through twrp. I tried your method, downloaded B360 firmware through FIRMWARE FINDER, when I opened "UPDATE. APP" in update extractor, I got two images of recovery "RECOVERY.IMG" & "RECOVERY2.IMG". I extracted "RECOVERY.IMG" and flashed. Everything went fine recovery flashed successfully.
After that I started OTA update. It started flashing but it is giving me error when reaches at 5%. Kindly tell me what is wrong?
My variant is: VIE-L29C185

What error does it give you?
Hey all, I'm in a similar situation in that I'm trying to restore stock recovery in order to receive the new B386 OTA update.
Problem is, I'm on B385 firmware and the last version available for download is B384. Does anyone know if it would be possible to extract the B384 recovery and flash that, or is that just a really bad idea?
I'd really rather not do a factory reset all for the sake of a Google security patch
After giving up last year I came back to try again and everything worked smoothly. Don't know why I had trouble the first time!
To anyone with a rooted device who wants to go back to receiving OTA updates, just follow mechasnyper's instructions and download the full firmware zip for your current OS version in Firmware Finder, extract and flash recovery.img, and hey presto.
Now to just sit and wait for the L29 Oreo update to arrive

Hello all,
I've rooted my P8Lite L21 using the custom recovery method, flashed the supersu.zip, then restored the original recovery.
Yesterday I had an OTA and now phone reboot once during system boot, and at the second time it hangs during boot.
What can I do to recover this? I have stock recovery, and when I try to VOLDOWN+POWER it never goes to fastboot. (last time I had to use adb reboot-bootloader but now I can't reach system\adb..)
Can you help?
Thanks, cheers,

Hello,
You can boot to fastboot with this method:
Connect phone with PC then power off
Now push two buttons VOLDOWN+POWER+MicroUSB now you can install any stock ROM with fastboot commands and suitable *.img(boot.img, cust.img, system.img)
P.S
What OTA(number) arrive to you?

Worked like a charm Thanks a lot! I don't know the OTA number.. Still can't get into system :|
I'll try flashing TWRP from here and then i don't know which rom to use.. I'd like CM12 but i'm not sure its supported.
Can you suggest any stable ROM ?
Thanks

It's Portuguese\Europe, Single SIM.
I'm downloading "Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 V100R001C432B171 (Europe)". Is this flashable from fastboot? Yes, i'm unlocked. Does it need the hiSuite or fastboot.exe will suffice?

Hi there,
I have a similar problem: bootloop!
I'm comming from B170 and installed 7 HD 1.2 ROM and got some errors, I thougt it would be an good to go the long way to B008 or better B010. After so searching I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64483642&postcount=43
- did not step 1 an under-pressed flashing recovery in step 2 and 3, thought I could yet use TWRP.
Obviously, that was the mistake.
At step 4 I recognized that I have to do step 1 to go on.
that worked an I copied the update.zip to internal card, initialised the update.
Not sure it got to 100% but think so.
Result bootloop, can't get to recovery, only fastboot
Tried to flash every thing: B052, B170, and 136a, even the boot.img and recovery.img of B010 and B008
no errors but still bootloop.
PLEASE HELP!!
is there a full version of B080 somewhere to flash by fastboot? or any options to flash the update.zip of B080 again?
All other proposals are welcome!

First 7 HD 1.2 ROM work only over the B010!!!
Second in this archive have the instructions to install Beta B008 why you not did everything described in the instructions?
Third when install stock firmware RECOVERY must be original not TWRP!!!
Now you must install stok recovery, make hard reset then install B052
After that you can install every stock firmware for your region! or follow the instruction to install B008=>B010=>7 HD 1.2 ROM

but ---- fastboot devices ----says at the same time: W3D7XXXXXXXX

You can't install official updates without having the stock recovery, if you try to, it will reboot to twrp and give you an error.
If you need the stock recovery, here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwQbt3YQTCDCYVRFMUFkdUxYSHc/view?usp=drivesdk
You can flash it via flashify, it's in .img format.
Thank you much appreciated!

I also had twrp and root I just let the update download and stopped the automatic install. Rebooted into twrp and flashed the update zip (with verification off or it failed). After this I had original recovery and (king)root was gone. Which where easy enough to redo (using supersu now). Everything seems to be working as it should. I made a backup before I tried this. I just wanted to give it a shot and it worked.

update and twrp
Hi
perhaps I can help you.
My situation:
P8 lite: rooted,unlocked bootloader,latest twrp
Download and install Huawei HI-suite on your computer
Connect your phone to the computer
Let the HI-suite download the update and install.
TWRP will finish it.
In my case phone successfully updated. B551 to B565
Just did it: twrp 3.0.2 installed official OTA B585 Full Ale-L21
Download update using updater, then connected to pc i wanted to flash stock recovery, but when usb attached phone rebooted in recovery and started install update.
In log at the end i saw a command unknown (maybe the one that deletes update.zip, i found the file still in my phone after update)
Phone info says:
emui 4.0
ALE-L21C432B585
kernel ver. 3.10.86-g53f7dd5 17 Nov 2016
security patch: 1 Nov 2016
I had to re-install twrp and root (testing systemless)
I want to flash my phone with stock firmware, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I am looking for PRA-LX1C738B123.
I own Huawei p8 lite 2017
I wiped my system because I wanted to install other rom, it didn't work so I want to go back to the original.
Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to do a backup before so I am stuck atm. The bootloader is unlocked and flashing works, I can boot into huawei eRecovery and TWRP. (eRecovery gives the getting package info failed error) I have tried the dload method with other app files, it fails at 5% every time tho.
I tried using Huawei Update Extractor and Firmware Finder but I cannot find the exact firmware.
Could someone help me with installing my firmware? Oh and I am kinda new and it would be nice to get some guides,
Thanks.
I have the same problem but with a different firmware.. now only thing i can do is use dc-phoenix paid software (15$ for 72h of use). I will try that tomorrow as i also can't find exact same firmware it was on my phone.

Thanks for reply. I will take that into consideration, but from what I see you were looking for PRA-LX1C432B106 and they indeed have the c432 roms there, however they don't seem to have the ones that I have been looking for. They have a list of firmwares online. Anyway good luck.

Hello ! I think I could be of some help since I encountered the exact same problem !
edit: well I just realized I can't find your ROM with firmware finder either, sorry for the failed attempt
In your case I'd try with each firmware until one would work or a I tried them all.
You need some utilities first :
- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.
edit: formatting
Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.

Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Thanks for help! I tried but i dont' have factory reset option. All I have is Shutdown, reboot and "Download leastest version and recovery" and after I click that all it does is wants internet connection. I logged in to my wifi but it didn't work and I ended up with "getting package info failed screen".

Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

I got rom that allows me to do a factory reset, it's stuck at 99% for like 2 hours now, is it normal? If not what should I do?

Unfortunately I can't help you further than what I already posted.
But keep updating in case someone more knowledgeable peeks in.
similar problem....I was fairly good but play store was stuck in pending download....
I did a wipe in TWRP, and ended with a black screen...
I can boot to eRecovery, but it fails.and also to TWRP.
when attached to PC it keeps being seen and unseen as if its stuck in a power on cycle
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello did you already test ???
Here is the solution for every PRA-LX1: [http : // www . htcmania . com / showthread . php ? t=1326478] (sorry for the spaces, but I don't have enough posts written to post external links )
Unfortunately, it's from a spanish forum. I didn't found any problem to follow this tutorial, but maybe for someone it could be a little difficult.
Anyway, it works!
MobileTechArena said:
Yes, but any PRA-LX1C432 i tried doesn't work for me, flashing by fastboot. I believe any PRA-LX1 should work on this phone, but i will need to use that dc phoenix software to flash it.
Click to expand...

Where did you find the C432 firmware? I can't succees to find it
Flashing to a completely empty phone via DC phoenix or manual via fastboot still didnt got my device started. Sometimes I end up in the eRecovery and sometimes its just stuck at boot.
I tried different version from the hicloud but none so far did the trick. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction so i can finally rescue this phone?
EDIT:
PRA-LX1C432
Sorry cant link to these files since i don't got 10 posts. Maybe PM ?
Copied the Mega TWRP backup (B100) to SD card
Flashed TWRP via fastboot
Disconnected the USB cable
Boot into TWRP
Restored TWRP backup
Restarted phone into fastboot
OEM unlocked it
Got booted into TWRP since no stock recovery there
Booted into fastboot again
flashed stock recovery
Android started to work!
Tried to update to B164 and failed
Reboot
Now it offered B110 and I tried to update to B110. Success.

Also i noticed everytime a OTA fails you get the full version offered on next boot. So you should get a full B164 aswell after it failed

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Huawei P8 Lite 2017.
Yesterday I forced an update with 'Huawei Firmware Updater' app from Android: I had PRA-LX1C432B170 and B172 was installed.
At the beginning it said 'Your Device has failed verification and may not work properly', but it booted after manually pressing the Power Button.
Than, trying to fix this, I messed everything up and now the phone won't boot!
Can you please help me?
I have Unlocked Bootloader, FRP Unlocked and can easily access stock recovery and fastboot and flash everything, but nothing seems to work: I tried the 'Unbrick' function from 'Huawei Multi-Tool', but the file I flashed didn't work at all... even factory reset stucks at 99%!
Can I ask you what to do?
It's impossible to find anything for Dual SIM Unbranded phones, like mine! I just can't find the original update.zip of PRA-LX1C432B170 version.
I just want to make it work again!
Thanks for your support, and Happy New Year to you all!

You can use Firmware finder app on play store to get the ROM...then use Huawei update extractor to extract the system.img ,boot.img from update.app and flash them via fastboot commands and then do a factory reset.

I tried with the Windows version of Firmware Finder, but the version I'm trying to find (B170) is unavailable.
What can I do if I can't find that specific version? I have no ideas.

You can try system.img and boot.img from any build...but they have to be a full update not OTA updates

Flashed system.img and boot.img in this order, but it stucks on the page of unlocked phone (Booting Phone Now...), so I booted recovery and then I did a factory reset. Nothing happens but the Huawei logo showing up for a few seconds, then it reboots.

In this case I think you damaged the Vendor partition during the force update...you can't flash (product.img, version.img,cust.img and vendor.img) via fastboot commands...you either try to use dd commands to flash them...and it's a little bit risky or you find a TWRP backup from your build...or you can use DC Phoenix tool to unbrick your device

Thanks for the useful tips!
I don't know what product.img, version.img or cust.img are used for, but cust.img can be sent through fastboot (I think so because Multi-Tool let me choose it for fastboot flash in the 'Unbrick' section).
What I'm trying to do now is to download the same version I had before (B172 FULL-OTA MF) and I try to send it via fastboot.
Any other Ideas?
Can I Install TWRP and a Custom ROM or TWRP + Original ROM?
You can try to use TWRP and a custom ROM...but as far as I know all the custom ROMs for this device have bugs...but you are free to try them
Sent from my PRA-LA1 using Tapatalk
Can try this 3 methods...
- Flash via fastboot the stock recovery, boot and system from b182, factory reset in stock recovery and try to boot.
- Install twrp in recovery2 (eRecovery), search for the b182 backup and follow the steps to restore it.
- Pay to use Dc-Phoenix (near 15€) and flash with their app a full stock rom (the app help you to download a full rom)
Good luck!

Hi All!
Thanks for your tips.
I've followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...uide-unbrick-huawei-p8-lite-2017-pra-t3713574
and now the phone boot and works, but I have some problems:
1. Firmware says P9 Lite 2017 (but it's correctly a PRA-LX1 firmware)
2. Patches are from June and I can't find any firmware update... I think I have an hybrid firmware, because I have both IMEIs but something (like Google Patches) are related to the firmware of the guide I followed.
I have one question to ask: I have an unlocked bootloader and I don't want to see the message at Phone Power-On, but if I Re-Lock the phone won't boot: I had to unlock the bootloader to make it working. What can I do?
Is it possible to find an official B182 firmware and flash it into my Phone? It maybe the best/clean solution for my phone.

You can download the full backup of b182 from this forum and try to restore with twrp or extract the boot, recovery and system imgs and try to flash with adb, sorry im not english and not understand all words.

Your English is very good and the link is very useful!
Thanks, this is what I was looking for!
The idea to extract the boot, recovery and system imgs is intelligent, but the ROM of that Link seems to be rooted, so maybe it won't work at all.
I'll give it a try and I'll report back if it works or not.

If you can flash twrp in recovery2 you can restore the full backup following the steps in the another thread, if not, find another b182 backup no-rooted and try, but i think the restore method is the best option, good luck!

Hi @dannyzamora
Restore of my phone worked and now I have a full stock phone!
I wrote a guide in the other thread to help other people who have similar problems to try to fix their phone.
Your suggestion was very helpful and now I can use my phone as it was before (apart from a bug, the only one, related to MagazineUnlock that is not working at all... nothing that compromise the use of the phone, obviously).
Thanks
Hello,
Some weeks ago I have rooted my P10 with magisk (and twrp as recovery). Now I hot update Infos for new fw B371 (C432). Ota update won't work so I downloaded full Ota with huawei firmware finder. After download phone restarts but no update. It boots to recovery. Do I have to install the update files manually or isn't an update possible.
Thanks

Just flash a stock oreo recovery, and you should be fine.
Use my guide. Tutorial #3 is the right one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286
Thanks. So root will be undone with this process? After this I can easily install twrp and magisk again without any problems?
Edit: Testet this, but install of officialupdate.zip failed (put the directory in /cust - boot into TWRP, mount cust and tried to install officialupdate.zip). Install from sdcard won´t work too.
Anyone has a solution to fix this. Removed root but it won't work.
Please post the TWRP log after trying to install officialupdate.zip. I need to know, what's failing so I'm able to help you out.

Okay, I can't figure it out, the log says error in line 141 in my script. I tried this on my phone and there's no such error.
What this script does is quiet simple - it just flashes a modified EMUI recovery, where the file and online check are disabled. So, you can flash the recovery from the archive manually via fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk PATH\TO\RECOVERY.IMG".
Then restart and do the update via Settings or FF.
After this you need to reroot, so reinstall TWRP and Magisk / SuperSU.
