4th time downloading... Keeps failing, maybe root or custom recovery interfering?

Root will interfere with downloading OTA, you'll have to wait for it on PC Companion.
Do you know what build number is downloading?

If I'm rooted and someone uploads the .zip can I just install the OTA and then a SuperSU zip or do I have to wait until someone makes an OTA with SU binaries all ready?

23.1.C.0.385
I apologize, I don't know how to get the .zip file from OTA

I just downloaded this and was looking for trusted devices feature which should be new with lollipop however I was not able to find it. Here's the description of the feature. http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/a...to-automatically-unlock-your-phone-or-tablet/
Can anyone else verify if it is there or not?
EDIT: Found it. After a reboot it showed up under Security>Trusted Agents.

[Windows App] MTK droid tools v2.5.3

I don't have a Fire tab updated to the newest FireOS or a Windows machine to test this out, but supposedly it can root any mediatek device running up to and including lollipop. It doesn't specify which lollipop version, but it's definitely worth a try!! I hope this works for people stuck on 5.1.1 without root and fastboot! Could someone please test it out and report back....

they only have root if you update it manually. if the ota just automatically runs without your knowledge and you end up updated to 5.1.1, you're stuck there with no root, no fastboot commands, etc. you can boot to fastboot, i believe, but no commands will work.

That's not right any more.
Root for ota 5.1.1 was achieved by k4y0z during the week. http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/root-t3272362
The updated supertool now roots, removes ads, blocks ota and changes launcher on 5.1.1 ota http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695
Some brave people have even since used Flashfire to move onto SlimLp too, CM 12.1 doesn't work for some reason.

5.1.1 can now be rooted regardless of how you got 5.1.1.
But this might be useful for amazon's next FireOS update. Whenever that comes out..

Getting the same error on that link as Ownster did
Though I think it was considered before

I don't understand why Google is blocking it, but I've added a mega link to the OP.
I didn't know there was recent progress. That's great news!

You will lose root if you upgrade to marshmallow. Should add that to the original post. May not be worth it for must since the update brings little change.

It does bring Doze which I think is pretty significant change as well as some some system os animation change

In my humble opinion, doze and animation changes are not worth losing root + xposed over. You can simulate doze functionality with apps and change animations with xposed.
I just wanted it to be clear to people that it's probably not worth their while to update right now as it is obviously a step backwards. My thread has been bombarded with mm root questions, leading me to believe that people do not know what exactly that they are getting into updating, they just want the newest thing for the sake of having it or something, I'm not exactly sure what the craze is.
MM will bring some great changes eventually, but as we have locked Bootloader/Rootless operating systems, it does not come close to the functionality that 5.X brings.

Just a little reminder for those that are on telus or bell that want to export the kdz of the update via LG bridge check in the AppData\Local\LG Electronics\LG Bridge\SWUpgrade it should be inside another folder. Do this before doing the other step !
But for downloading the update after updating for the first time with mm, the easiest way is to plug the cell phone to the computer, start LG Bridge, go to software update and select Update error recovery, wait until the download of the file start, then you can just unplug the usb cable and finally export the kdz.
Someone could correct me if im wrong ?

Looking for US Version BTV-W09C1289BXXX Full Rom or Stock Recovery.img

I am unlocked, TWRPed, and rooted but would like to restore stock everything. It appears that restoring stock recovery will be the most difficult as Huawei has not released the full firmware image that includes recovery.img. Can someone with stock recovery extract this and post it?
*Title should say BTW-W09C128BXXX*

I'm looking for the same thing if anyone has any incite as to where to find it or a link to it. I have tried the firmware finder tool posted on XDA and the one in the play store. They both only show update. I'm in need of full install. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am trying to back my stock US version up right now. Currently unlocked and trying to figure out how to back up stock rom and recovery. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Have you tried Firmware Finder app?
You can find it in Playstore.
I used this app to upgrade to Android N (international version).

Anyone able to post a US firmware recovery? Firmware Finder only has OTA packages for this verison of w09c128xxx

I just updated the firmware finder app and it now shows the full ota for nougat.

[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.
Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)
