I used fastboot to install the stock recovery which i got form:
http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Huawei P8 Lite&folder=Firmware
I used these links to do it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN7XW4HnFT8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfWYKREeQeQ
And then installed the offical rom through the stockrecovery by putting the dload folder on my micro-SD

For some reason all apps and things were still on my phone afterwards, i hope it will help you.

Have you tried it when the file was on SD card and internal storage?

Some Updates can't be installed over the b136.
The german b170 (a partial update) needs the b132 or the b133 to upgrade to b170. Directly update from b136 to b170 isn't possible

I have two Ale_21.
One is stock and never modified and went from 136 to 170 without problems.
The problem is with the other "modified phone", in some way I think ota detects
it was modified before and gives error.

Could you please be a little more specific?
You mean you downloaded stockrecovery.img form here
Code:
rootjunkysdl.com/files/Huawei%20P8%20Lite/Firmware/stockrecovery.img
? And then you startet the phone in fastboot mode with the command
Code:
adb reboot bootlader
? Last you send the command
Code:
fasboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
?
I already regret installing TWRP since I can't even try to install further Updates via dload. So I just don't want to make any more mistakes and/or brick the phone.

@Schwedenbitter
Yes that's pretty much what I have done.

You need to have the right version in order to install via update

From where i can get stock recovery for marshmallow b550, because every recovery i try stuck on 90 or 5%. I tried also to extract update.app b550 and it also fail

No you need to extract it with huawei update extractor to get the recovery.img
And you need to install it with fastboot.

You need to extract from update.app and flash via fastboot with this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

L04 b141 update how can I apply?

how can I apply the updater after flashing custom recovery (twrp)?
Basically you can't, applying OTA requires stock recovery.
And just one thing, 1.64GB for an update? I mean there isn't much in the changelog

I was notified about the update on the phone and then just pressed the update now button and it restarted in TWRP and installed by itself
That's great, I'll never have to worry about OTAs

OK, here is an update. I am rooted with TWRP and have been waiting for the full update package to become available. As of just yesterday the full update package is in the updater app on the phone. You must be connected to wifi for it to appear. Open updater, click on menu on the bottom, download latest FULL package B141. After DL it WILL FLASH THROUGH TWRP but you will lose root and TWRP. Let it do its thing then reflash TWRP through ADB and SU after that and you are good to go on the new update.

custom recovery wont intall official ota updates.
custom recovery can install custom rom updates only.
its better to flash stock recovery and then unroot your phone to install the update through stock recovery.
---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------
NOTE:- Do not install the s230 update while your sd card inserted in the phone. Remove the sd card and then proceed. I installed the update as usual by keeping the micro sd connected to the device. After the update was installed the phone rebooted and gave me a notification saying damaged sd card. Though i fixed the sd card but i lost all the data of sd card.
I used the twrp How can ı update to s230 with twrp
twrp not working
It's not working with twrp. Flashed s208 row with twrp which have changed to stock recovery. Next installed s214 row. Then all updated fine. And my SD card is also fine.

Lenovo A7010 - Flash A7010a48_S230_161129_ROW
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/A7pM/P5AUfkCUc
Apologies for being off-topic! I faced a lot of issues in s230 update thus downgraded to s218 & now on s219. I am able to get adb to recognize my device but not fastboot. Therefore I am unable to unlock bootloader!
When I type in " adb reboot bootloader" or click on the "unlock_recovery.bat" file provided, I get booted into a dark screen where "fastboot" is written at the bottom left & the command prompt window says < waiting for device> & I am stuck there until I reboot my phone.
Can somebody tell how to get past this?

Flash original unrooted B560 via TWRP and wait for OTA.
Hmm I got OTA for L29C432B581 today but I'm on unlocked bootloader, rooted and on TWRP so I haven't tried to accept the update. As I understand it, it won't work to update given that I don't have stock recovery.

You need stock boot.img and system or the OTA will fail. Just download B560 full and flash it in TWRP, that will unroot, restore stock system, restore stock boot.img, restore stock recovery. Then you can install OTA without any issues (you do not have to lock your bootloader).

B560 it's not just only the usual "update.zip" file, there's also the "update_full_hw_eu.zip" file.
If I reinstal B560 again just to get the B581 OTA, have I to reinstal both files or only "update.zip"??
Thx in advance!!

I suppose that also the "Dload" methot should be work in case my phone misses the OTA, right?
Did flashing both files work for you zappomax?
To answer my own question, i did a fresh install of 560 through twrp following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l29c432b560-official-t3540042 , but without installing rootfiles. After phone set up update to 581 was offered in system update. Tried to install (796 Mb update) but failed to pass verification.
After reboot in 'old' 560 connected phone to hisuite which offered me the full (2.2Gb) update to 581. This one installed without problems.
Rooted with Magisk afterwards.
My solution is to flash stock boot.img and update using hisuite..i was in 560 before..

Is it possible to just download the b180 update.zip and ...full_hw...zip, and flash? Instead of flashing the old b560 zips?
From 581 to 180 is a downgrade, so i guess you need to flash a downgrade package before you can flash 180 software.
boot loop after flashing boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, cust.img through fastboot. I also wipe data and cache after flashing

No OS, can't mount vendor/product/

Hi there
Today I bought a pair of Bluetooth earphones and noticed that Bluetooth wasn't working anymore, so I decided to factory reset my vanilla ROM (EMUI 5.0).
That didn't work out and eventually I had to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (so far I tried both TWRP and Revolution) and a custom ROM.
However, something must have gone seriously bad because I now can't mount /product and /version.
When I try to install a rom (EliteROM by HassanMirza), it also tells me it couldn't load /cust and /data as well.
- cust: invalid argument
- data: invalid argument
- product: no such file or directory
- version: no such file or directory
I also tried moving an update.app version to my internal memory but doing that through gives me an error saying there's not enough space.
Pretty much at a loss here, no idea what to do. Anyone got an idea? Even willing to pay to get this fixed.
Can you access fastboot?

Great!! Use huawei update extractor (HERE) to extract all the .img files from the UPDATE.APP and try to flash them via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and so on
This should help you and your phone should boot.

I tried that yesterday, but flashing the system.img file gave an error, something like "sparse flash write failed".
Would you have any idea what the correct build would be for a Belgian VNS-L31 which was previously on EMUI 5.0.
I got my phone with a subscription from Proximus and after the update, it just completely broke (the software I mean).
I'm from Bruges! And you?

Hmmm.. Can you flash stock recovery and dload the firmware?
The build depends on your Cxxx. What is it? I also got my phone from proximus! Assuming you didn't debrand your phone, it should be C02, but maybe you did debrand. However, I would suggest trying to dload the rollback package because you were on nougat. You can find it here. Follow the instructions in the PDF file of the zip package. But first, extract the recovery from UPDATE.APP

Hmm so I've currently moved the update.app file to my external sd (if I'm correct this is the /external_sd/ folder - had to do this through adb because I don't have a card reader atm) and then tried to update by pressing on/off button, volume down, volume up. However, this just brings me back to my Revolution recovery. Should I flash the stock recovery first?

Oh ok never gotten that far, great! So right now I did that but obviously I can't boot now.
I believe I now have to flash the full OS? Would it be ok if I flash TWRP or Revolution back just to use ADB and transfer the other update.app file, flash back to stock recovery and then use DLOAD method again?
Thanks so far for all the help, very much appreciated!

So you flashed the stock ROM and then you dload the Huawei Rollback package? Because if you flashed the rollback package you should be able to boot...
