Update after restoring twrp backup - Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers

Hi guys. I've restored the twrp backup by @bluesmoothie, i've changed the build.prop file to fix the firmware's name (now it is CAN-L01C432B100) and i've flashed emui4 recovery. Will i get ota update by Huawei? Or because my nova was vodafone branded at the beginning i will not receive it?

[Q] Custom Recovery after OTA

The Sprint version got an OTA update not too long ago and those who had TWRP installed have had some trouble afterwards. I'm stock rooted and would like to update it to get the new radio, but I don't know if the update patched the bootloader bypass to flash TWRP.
If I update my phone normally, will I still be able to flash TWRP afterwards?
Or should I install TWRP now and install the flashable ota radio?

Don't take my word but I think you can still flash after wards but you in Sprint development here's a stock rooted ROM with the ota update deodexed or odex.....also just the zv8 radio won't stop the ota.....zv8 radio has audio garbling fix...ota had a Google security patch....

I just flashed TWRP. If I backup everything in TWRP can I flash the updated stock ROM and restore the backup and have all my apps and call/text logs back?

OTA Update Root

Hi everyone ! I'm here because I want to do an OTA update. But i'm root and I have a custom TWRP and the ota file. If I flash it from twrp it will be working ? (Doesn't matter if I need to reroot and reflash twrp) Thanks !
you need to extract stock recovery from you current fw, and i am not sure if even then ota will work, I think you need full rom and flash it from huawei recovery
Install Custom B602 rom by persona, you won't regrete

How to stock update with rooted and TWRP?

Have a LeEco Pro 3 (US Version) running 5.8.19s official stock version, bootloader unlocked and official TWRP installed. But my system update fails everytime eventhough it shows there is new update 5.8.21s but phone boots to recovery in TWRP and asking for password. I have tried several times but its the same thing over and over again. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some different file that I must flash?

You need the official recovery for update to work

You can update to 21s on the US version (727) from TWRP with a few modifications to the updater-script file (see the below post/thread):

This will remove root but it keeps TWRP so you should be able to just reinstall root through TWRP.
Thank you. Will it keep my data and apps intact or will it erase them? I don't want to lose all my important data and setup.

I did a wipe before updating but it should work without wiping as the update zip file is the official OTA with only a modified updater-script. Do a backup from TWRP before you try it and if anything goes wrong you can revert to that backup.
Running into the same issue..did your script and that worked. Thanks for that.
Flash 19s using TWRP and needed a somewhat official way to get to 21s. Use the script of d/l the official 21s update and pushed the modified zip to sdcard to get flashed in TWRP. So hopefully this update, updated whatever it needs to update and maybe it will fix my other issue... why when I flash Lineage base ROMs they show my battery only at 50%
I followed the above instructions and replaced with the updated script however TWRP is giving me Error 7 and a quick google search is saying it is due to problem with updated script. How do you guys fix this?

Moto X Play - Can I return to stock with nandroid & perform OTA?

Hi folks,
I am using Lineage 14.1 for a while. So, I want to go back to stock once Lenovo released Nougat.
I have a Nandroid backup of my old Marshmalow stock rom made with TWRP.
My question is: If I restore the nandroid backup, can I make the OTA update or will I brick my phone?
Hope someone can help
Thanks
You backup probably doesn't contain the valid recovery for OTA update (because, to make your backup, you need to replace the official recovery with TWRP). So, once you restore your backup, you must also flash the original recovery with fastboot.
Check if System Status is still official in the boot loader. If its 'Official' you can flash stock recovery after restoring your backup and then can install OTA update. If status is 'Modified' you have to flash the whole OS with fastboot commands to get OTA. But dont downgrade to Marshmallow after getting Official Nougat, your will hard brick you mobile and there is no way to ressurect it as of now!

MIUI update with stock recovery

Hi.
I've twrp recovery and I want to update Miui with stock update.
Can I restore original recovery?
Or there is another way to update EEA stock Miui from 10.3.12 to 10.3.15?
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.15.0...AGlobal_V10.3.15.0.PFJEUXM_b6738621e2_9.0.zip
It's as easy as flashing this file via TWRP.
EDIT: I made a guide for OTA updates on nonstock recoveries here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-ota-updates-stock-recovery-t3975027, so you know how to get this file yourself when the next update comes.
