Recently there was an issue with Honor 4x users who updated from KitKat (emui 3.0) --> Lollipop (emui 3.1) version due to some server issues(might be too many downloads at same time because of many many users of Honor4X in India) This is actually due to a corrupted recovery and flashing a new recovery might solve the issue.
To solve the issue HONOR 4X stucked at Honor logo ,i have an easy solution for all those users: Please download and extract the software package from below official path(around 35MB file)
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0ByJkSOohdNz_Wnd6cVQ3Nlh1am8/edit
Requirements:
1) Make sure that the Micro SD card is available with enough free space(atleast 200MB) and can be read and write. It is recommended that The Micro SD card is made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax.
2) Make sure that the power of the battery is enough to run the process. It is recommended that the power of the battery is more than 50%.
Procedure:
Step 1. Format the Micro SD card (This operation is OPTIONAL ).
Step 2. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) contained in the file we downloaded to the root directory of the Micro SD card.
Step 3. Shut down the phone.
Step 4. Press the VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN + POWER Key(simultaneously for few seconds) to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode begins automatically. This will start the FIX process on your device.
Step 5. When the progress bar stops(100% upgrade successful), the phone will automatically power OFF and restart.

Upgrade needs stock recovery to be installed and I don't think tha TWRP is stock
booted to twrp instead of the stock emergency recovery? try using huawei update extractor and get all the .img files and fastboot flash all the .img files. the method is pretty much the same as fixing my own Che2-L11. once you flashed all the .img files, yes. it will not boot. but, you can access the emergency recovery menu (the menu that allows you to scan and would allow reparing via wifi). IF you can get to this menu, then youre ok good to go for forced upgrade via microsd. just make sure you are using the latest version available your your region. IF it didnt work, you have to fallback by fastboot flash the kitkat version of update.app and force upgrade with that kitkat update.app file. then when its fully booted to language screen, proceed normally as you would a hard reset all phone, then use the usual lolipop, next mellow official update.app file. then, your typical twrp, magisk, and more.

Hello everybody,
I bought today a U8800 Pro.It has Froyo installed and i'm trying to install official GB before upgrading to ICS.I' m following the official procedure with the pink screen and the file i'm using is the HUAWEI_U8800P_Android_2.3_V100R001C00B521.The procedure starts normally with unpacking but later i get the error message that Upgrade failed.
What am i doing wrong?
There was step1, step2 and step3? I think no... you must find the official gb version with all steps and flash it how is written in instructions.
Eclair and gb has different file systems and step1 is changing them. Step1 from ics is enlarging system partition, the file system of gb and ics is the same. If you buy this phone already, have a good luck with it
P.S. this is Q/A section?

Thanks bronxitas.
I'll start searching.
Placed Update.app in the dload folder in SD Card
Vol + + Vol - + Power.
Restart the phone.
Plz note that you have 512Mb available in SD card.
It's very hard to find the files.
I downloaded some files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366420&page=2
I completed step1 but now i cannot enter upgrade mode.
When holding Vol+ + Vol- and Power On i only get the pink screen.No upgrade mode.

I wrote that you mus do exactly what is written in flashing instructions and what have you done? 2.2 -> 2.3 must be flashed with step1 and step2 renamed file. Both at the same time in the dload directory. Why you don't read the instructions??? An we must read you're crying?
If you finished with step1, you now must have different file system and theoreticaly you must flash only step2 and maybe step3. But i don't know if you will pass it ok. Becouse everybody can read and they done upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 with 2 files in dload at the same time.
Have a good time by creating you're own methods of doing something, that can brick you're phone!

Hi,
I tried to upgrade u8800pro from Froyo 2.2.2 to Gingerbread, but I didn't successeded.
Here are the steps I've made:
1. I downloaded HUAWEI Ideos firmware(U8800Pro,Android 2.3,V100R001C00B521,Oversea Normal) from download-c. huawei. com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=13574&version=14620&siteCode=worldwide
2. I erased all data from SD card.
3. I copied downloaded dload folder containing UPDATE.APP to SDcard.
4. In Settings->Privacy->Factory data reset I erased all data from phone. During this process, phone was restarted and set to initial factory state.
5. I turned off the phone.
6. I held Vol + + Vol - + Power.
7. On phone was displayed "Firmware update step 1/2 Unpacking"
8. "Update failed" appeared on next window.
Can someone advice me, what did I wrong? These steps are include more as is needed according Upgrade Guideline, but anyway it doesn't work.
Than You.

This is a problem I had once too and I was like "OMG I [email protected] up my phone!!!" but it's not a big deal fixing it at all. Just go to huaweidevice.com download official ICS from there and then format your sd card. Open the rar file you downloaded and copy the dload folder that you will find in folder step 1. Put your sd card on your phone, connect it to your charger and press vol + vol- and power button at the same time. When update complete(step one takes 4-5 seconds) format your sd card again and do the same with step 2 and step 3. Step 2 takes about 5 minutes so no need to worry. Let the recovery wipe cache when you finish step 3 and then it will reboot 2-3 times. Then go to official ICS thread by pikachukaki and unlock pink screen. Through pink screen replace the recovery.img with the recovery made by ivan or geno and then reboot your phone. Flash a custom rom of your liking doing wipe cache, format factory reset, wipe dalvik, format system and install zip from sd card. PROFIT :good:
Thank you my phone worked fine . Only step2 is enough. But to unlock pinkscreen only pow+vol++vol- is enough or anything more to do. Coz my pc is not detecting any media in pinkscreen.pls post the link if u have:thumbup:

Hello everyone.
I rooted my phone (os was marshmallow) with android lollipop procedure, so i soft bricked the phone.
I flashed with fastboot various versions of huawei p8 lite firmware, all of these were 5.0.1.
When I managed to unbrick my phone I found out that it can't read the sim, so I looked in settings and IMEI and BASEBAND were disappeared.
Probably direct downgrade from marshmallow to lollipop caused this.
By the way, I managed to solve all my problems.
I will write what I've done here. I hope will be helpful. To start: my model is ALE-L21 (Single Sim).
- Download B041c (if you search in google you will find various results, all taking to the same site). I'll explain this better after *
- Flash with fastboot B041c
- Download B133 (this is very easy to find, but if you have problems search in a site called carbontesla)
- Unpack B133 dload folder (you will find custom folder too, don't worry about it) and put dload folder in the root of your sdcard
- Go to Settings -> Updater -> Local Update and start B133 update. Phone will boot. The upgrade process should be done with phone chargend and unplugged from PC.
- At some points update could appear stucked (for me was at 15% and 85%) but be hopeful and it will continue (let be patient).
- Phone will boot and your sim after 4-5 seconds will work again!
* B041c is hard to find. At this time only one site have it. I can't link you this site, because the downloader you get from this site installs adware on your pc while it download B041c. I have had to solve my problem so I proceded at my own risk.
Updater will notify you about the update to B183. It doesn't worked to me! If you want to update your phone you can install firmware B171 and install it as update (in dload folder)
UPDATE TO MARSHMALLOW
- If you want to update your phone to marshmallow you have to download other two firmwares (B171 and the MM you want. I used B551)
- Put the dload folder of B171 in your sd card, turn off your phone and force flash (VOLUP + VOLDOWN + POWER buttons). It may appear stucked at 19% and 85%. Don't worry, be patient!
- When phone boot is completed, put dload folder of your MM firmware in your sdcard, turn off the phone and force upgrade (VOLUP + VOLDOWN + POWER buttons). It will take 15-20 minutes.
- When installation is completed and phone boots, turn it off again, enter in recovery mode (VOL UP + POWER button) and clear data and cache.
- Now you have a clean install of MM! However, some applications may be old (play store). If you have connected our phone to a network, play store will update automatically
SOLVE BALONG BUG
You can find easliy the solution in the forum. But to be a complete guide and make your life a lot way easier here is the solution.
Simply put UPDATE.APP of custom folder that you can find in some firmware (I used B049 custom folder) in your sd card and then update from settings or from force update. Is a 20KB file so it will be very fast to install
Hello Friends, I just upgraded my Zenfone 3 ze520kl to Nougat, but i prefer Marshmallow i try from recovery mode to flash Marshmallow, it shows error and the installation aborted. Can any one help . Thanks.
What error does it show?
Error with some numbers follows by 'install aborted'. I unable remember the error numbers. I did three times all the time with same remark.Thanks.
That's not very helpful. Can you try it again and tell us exactly what it says?
Hi,
I downgraded a few days ago, here's an overview of the steps.
WARNING, this requires a factory reset so you will lose the data on the phone, so make sure you have backups before you proceed. You do this at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damages.
I assume you have adb / drivers all configured and know to how use them.
1) download firmware file http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE520KL/UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip and save to SD card / insert card in phone.
2) download recovery and boot img files for Z017D_WW_13.20.10.152
- https://mega.nz/#F!ok0V0RIA!5WKtHe98opzjVI3NPbM7Ww
- under the folder Z017D_WW_13.20.10.152
3) Go to fastboot mode (power + vol up)
- flash recovery.img (command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
- flash boot.img (command: fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4) reboot to recovery (power + vol down)
5) install update form micro sd card.
set the file UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip that you saved earlier
6) wipe cache
7) factory reset
If you don't do a factory reset and reboot, Android pretty much crashes on multiple processes on start up, it is unusable.
Regards,
TK

Warning- No file-contexts. This package is for "ww-phone" devices, this is a E:error in /side load/ package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.
Same thing happened to me as well. I just went ahead to flash the RAW file (http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2016/12/asus-zenfone-3-raw-firmware-and-asus.html) and updated the software to the latest marshmallow update, followed by a factory reset.
If we Downgrade
Then we get update in future yes or no??
Sorry for bad English??
Yes.
Hi, thanks for the help. Please answer this:
Do I need to use Recovery and Boot.img the same version of ROM? Why?
Why do I need to install Boot.img?
I have twrp flashed on my phone, and so cant get the oreo update. The phone had been stuck in the bootloop recently, and the guy at the service centre flashed the first available version of the firmware, but how he did it without removing the custom recovery, i dunno. So now i need the boot.img for this firmware: (WW_Phone-13.16.5.33). Thanks in advance.
