Check for unfinished download i.e if the downloaded file size matches source file size.
Or also check that you have stock recovery installed when updating as twrp won't work.

it is matched and the stock recovery is installed, anyway i downgraded to b52 then all went ok.
not sure what the problem was.

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 just updated mine with TWRP and it did went well only issue I had was that i needed to reflash TWRP and SuperSu that full update replaces the TWRP recovery remember to go back to developer setting to allow oem unlock to be able to reflash TWRP in fastboot otherwise you won't be able to

There is no need to have stock recovery you can do it with TWRP I've just done it myself

That's cool, but how?!

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

It doesnt work for me , reboot in twrp, search to flash the update and error.. ( not full update, my update is about 616 Mo )

Where does the EMUI Updater store downloaded updates on the phone? I would like to store a copy before rooting (just in case) and haven't found a web download for FRD-L04C567B141.

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.

Problem in restoring

Hi guys, i was trying to restore my device from a custom rom to the stock version following the restoring and the rebranding guide of the thread on the forum about it. In conclusion:
-everytime i try the dload method (with the nocheck recoveries) the update stops at 5% with "uncompatible version".
-Once i finally installed the B182 version, the camera didn't work and the system was unstable, maybe for some error in the Vendor package.
-I also tried to flash the images of cust userdata system and boot but no results
My idea was to restore the B130 and then to update by emui to b182.
Can anyone solve this big problem?
(SORRY for the english, I'm Italian)

Try the restoring guide by OldDroid

I followed that guide, but nothing. Can anyone give me a Nandroid backup of european stock version?

If you have the update.app file , use Huawei update extractor to get recovery and recovery2 IMG files, flash them using fastboot commands .
Then try to place ROM file in dload , use vol up+ down and power button to flash it.

So the version of the firmware is not relevant for the dload method ? I mean, it doesn't matter if I've installed the B182 and in dload i put the 130 one?

Ok I will. Just a question: now I've installed Lineage OS, is there some wipe I have to do before the dload method? Or I just have to install the two recoveries?

Already tried, no results. I really don't understand why i tried every single method in this guide, also used by other users, but without any success. Every single time it stops at 5% with dload or it goes in bootloop with flashed images from lower firmwares of 182.
My last idea was finding a Nandroid backup of stock version and the restore it from TWRP. But obviously I couldn't find it.

Nope it won't bring the camera app by rooting. Thinking of other options

Thank you.
I wasn't sure if that method works on oreo.
Did you notice anything new?

I installed it via HuRUpdater, but there aren't problems at all except for the fact that it corrupted my stock Android theme.

Firmware Finder just does not work for me. I can't find the files that the phone downloaded and I can't open filelist on thw website. Am I the only one who's experiencing this?

I can't find a working TWRP on B521. Everytime show error, when I try to boot into recovery. The Honor V10 version shows error too.
Which TWRP do you use?

Used this TWRP twrp_bkl_0.7.img thanks to @Pretoriano80
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769917
Aslo note the fastboot commands have changed. The new command is "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img"

Thanks, it worked. But now, it asks me for password. ("Mount - Decrypt Data" is in the header)
I don't have password, only PIN, but that does not work.
Should I ignore that message? I don't mind if it wipes my data.

YES . You can ignore.

Thank you for the lightning-fast help. This TWRP really works.
I flashed this one too, but it didn't work for the first time.
I stucked in a bootloop, but a factory reset in revovery fixed it.

Looking for EMUI 5 (VNS-L21)

Hello, i’m looking for the update file for my phone. I’m currently on EMUI 4.1, to which i foolishly downgraded to last weekend. I would like to update with the SD Card and dload folder method, but i can’t find the stock EMUI 5 rom anywhere.

Okay, download B370 (two files) and follow instructions , use method 3 for locked bootloader (or method 1 for unlocked BL & TWRP)
Here you go

Thanks, i tried method 3 first but it failed (i have an unlocked bootloader though), so then i tried method 1 (i had twrp from meticulus already installed) first went to install only the update.zip in twrp, it failed, but when i rebooted, the phone is now updated to emui 5. Also my build number is now the test keys nonsense, but that happened to me before and i know how to fix that.
Thanks, your guide worked.

Install TWRP for Nougat, e.g. this one:
3.1.0.2
Install it over eRecovery with command
fastboot flash recovery2 xxxxxxx.img
Copy to the SD card the second file - hw_eu.zip from B370.
Boot into TWRP, click WIPE, then FORMAT DATA , after REBOOT SYSTEM.
The smartphone will start rebooting: as soon as the technical menu appears on the screen (yellow warning) press and hold Volume Up up to 3 sec, and here you are in TWRP again.
Click INSTALL and flash update_data_full_VNS-L21_hw_eu.zip.
Reboot into stock Recovery and do factory reset.
