Hello Everyone, I have ALE-L21 and my current firmware is C185B130 (apparently C185 is UAE region but i live in pakistan). Device is bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed.
I have a TWRP backup of current rom. I wanna try the 5.1 beta released for Europe but it says here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/beta-firmware-p8-lite-ale-l21-c432b008-t3243228 ) that i need C432B132 to upgrade to this. So I downloaded this firmware(C432B132) from Huawei website. There were two folders in it, dload and CUSTOM(not sure what that for). I extracted system.img, recovery.img, CUST.img, boot.img from UPDATE.APP given in the dload folder. So here is what i'm thinking.
1) Flashing the extracted system.img, recovery.img, CUST.img, boot.img would get me to C432B132?
2) After i install B132 can I upgrade to 5.1 using EMUI local update?
3) If something goes wrong, can I just flash TWRP and restore the backup?
-
Or this whole idea is foolish and i would screw up my phone after flashing system, cust and boot of some other firmware designed for some other region???

No this is wrong
1. You need to downgrade to B052
2. Install B136a
3. Install B008(Android 5.1.1)
After each install is recommended to make wipe
Thanks

I dont think that you need to go all the way to B052 and then flash the required version
This is what i did:
1) Flashed 132 cust, recovery, boot, system. My build number changed to something like balong ( I dont remember exactly :silly: ).
2) I flashed the UPDATE.APP file that was in the CUSTOM folder (that came with B132 rar file) via EMUI and it restored my build to B132.
3) Tried updating to 5.1 via EMUI but failed.
4) To give it a last try, I downloaded and flashed my phone with CUST, recovery, system, boot.img of B136a and then the update worked. My phone is now 5.1.1 B006
Thanks for the reply mate :good:

yeah its working fine. I think the battery life has improved a little bit or maybe it is just because i haven't installed much apps after flashing this rom compared to when I was using the B130. The only thing i miss from B130 is that small 2g, 3g written on the signal bars. This one only shows the 2g or 3g network type when the mobile data is turned on. Huawei cloud is also not present in it so you may wanna backup your contacts and stuff

Give It a try. If i doesn't work then you can just flash 132->136 and then apply update. But there maybe some problem with the version number changing to "BALONG". I faced this problem when I flashed 132 over my 130 but then I applied UPDATE.APP file(the small file in the custom folder) via EMUI Updater and it fixed the version number. But the 136a rom did not had any UPDATE.APP in custom folder so I dont know what to do if you get a version number problem. You can try flashing the 5.1 update via EMUI and maybe it will fix the version number problem (if it happened in the first place) or you can always goto 132->136 and apply 5.1

yes you need to unlock the boot loader. What exactly do you mean by double tap issue? are you talking about the double tap to wake feature not working sometimes? Yes the DoubletapToWake dont works sometime which can be very annoying so I just disabled that feature and using the power button ever since. As for the typing issue, No I'm not facing any typing issues, never did on the B130 and not on this 5.1 version. Try using someother keyboard app?

Did you change your phone's cust version? If u changed it you should dload a firmware (4/4.1) that match with your new cust

Is that red message verification failed message?
If yes then please unlock the bootloader again even if it says unlocked. Then it will do factory reset and the red message will disappear.
You can then try to flash the stock firmware in TWRP. You can use B368 or B386 stock firmware from another thread and flash in TWRP. That is if you have TWRP. If you don't then unlock bootloader and then install TWRP using SRK tools. You can use SRK tools for adb commands also. Just type 000 on first page off srk tools and you will get into command prompt. Using that push the TWRP into your phone. ADB is very stable in srk tools and it will always identify your device. So that problem you won't have.
I couldn't find a proper rollback for AL10 . May be some one else can give if it is there for this model. If it was L29 model then rollback package is available and you can easily rollback using that in this type of situation.
If the flashing of stock ROM worked then you try to debrand your phone to L29 later. You will have many options then and L29 firmwares are more stable. I have AL10 which I debranded to L29 & I totally recommend debranding to C432 once your problem is solved
Do the above steps only if you are on marshmallow firmware.
Don't forget :good::good::good::good::good:
I created a al10 roll back for all al10 phones. It converts it to a DL0017 dual active sim. Message me for details how to obtain it from me .. MUST have twrp installed .

If you want to unlock bootloader through ADB?
Here are the steps.
In your phone go to settings - >developer options - > put usb debubbing ON
switch off the phone.
Press and hold the down button for 3 seconds & then connect it to the computer
It will then go to fastboot mode.
then open SRK tools
type 000 to enter the command prompt.
Type the following command
fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx
In this command xxxxxxxx is your bootloader code. just replace xxxxxxx with your code and press enter.
This will unlock your bootloader & will do a factory reset.
In SRK tools there is an option for bootloader unlock but I think that is only if you are in EMUI 4.0 or EMUI 4.1 that is what I think may be anyone else who tried this option in android 7.0 can confirm but the adb commands will work.
I have enclosed screenshots for better understanding.
you have mentioned that you are in Android 7.0
Can you tell me your exact firmware that you have on your phone at the moment?
After you get rid of that red message. Your bootloader is unlocked.
There is Erecovery process - > steps below (but there is a problem with this process)
1)Switch off the phone.
2) Press and hold the volume up button and then connect your phone to computer or charger. Yes charger. Then you can download stock firmware through your WIFI - > this will also install stock firmware. But I think this won't work because of unlocked bootloader
So once again install the TWRP for Android 7.0 I think it is Twrp 3.0.2 or Twrp 3.0.3 - > this is definitely for nougat.
ADB command to install twrp recovery is
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ( rename the TWRP to twrp.img ) in the adb.
Try to flash the stock firmware zip files in TWRP.
Here you have two options - > You can either try flashing B386 files (only one zip file) or B562 (android 7.0 - > 2 zip files - first update.zip and then the other zip file)
If you are successful in this step then your TWRP will be overwritten with stock recovery.
That is ok. don't worry. Kangvip ROM is pre-rooted ROM. So you will get root in the end. For now its ok to be on Stock at this step.
Stock Recovery + Stock ROM + bootloader locked -> then you can dload back to EMU 4.1 using B386 firmware.
Then you can unlock bootloader (again) yes its a pain + followed by TWRP + ROOT - one after the other in SRK tools its all there. you can use the options in SRK tools this time.
And once you have root again.
Take backup and save it on your SD card. (except DATA , take backup of all options listed there, why? bcoz if you include data - > it will increase the backup size and it will take more time.
*Disclaimer* -> Very tricky & risky process - proceed with caution & full attention
Then - > you can debrand - > to C432 -(debranding is very tricky process, so keep your backup handy) This should be done very carefully because any problem here means you might find less space on your internal memory. Then you will have to restore that backup to get back your space.
Here is the link to excellent tutorial by somboons Watch it carefully.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4
Just follow that as it is for debranding from AL10 to L29-C432
I am very very sorry for all these confusing and tricky steps. Please proceed with caution when you are doing the debranding process. Do not get diverted during that process.
Yes I did all this when I debranded my Huawei Mate 8 AL10 to L29. I had lot of anxious moments, doubts & my mind started playing tricks if mate 8 was dead on few occassions. But in the end my phone prevailed. Now I am happily using L29 - Kangvip B577. That is where I want you to land up in the end.
Do not worry and do not panic any time. Be prepared to face few challenges during this process. I will help you but please share your experience and follow the steps carefully.
During debranding you might have your phone rebooting or something might happen. That time do factory reset and continue from where you left off. If you get red message - > then you have to unlock bootloader. Otherwise continue.
This whole process will test your patience & consume time. So I hope you are willing to do this. Its worth it. I learnt my lesson, I am never buying chinese version of Huawei phones/tablets again. Only European models from now onwards.

TWRP 3.1.0.2 is actually used for flashing nougat firmwares.
Which firmware are you on right now?
Are you on nougat or marshmallow? Please provide the full firmware build number.
if your phone is on marshmallow.
TWRP version depends on your firmware.
If you are on EMUI 4.0/4.1 then pls use the TWRP 3.0.2
you can use SRK tools to install that TWRP if you are on EMUI 4.0/EMUI 4.1
Install that version. Then
Factory reset
Flash the B386 zip file in TWRP.
You can get the B386 from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69331930&postcount=1338
If your phone is on Android Nougat.
Then you have to use dload method.
Unzip the B386 zip file.
Put the update.app in the dload folder inside your external sdcard.
Go to your dialer
*#*#2846579#*#*
Select "software upgrade"
then Select - > SD card upgrade.
And then it will reboot and install the stock firmware.
This thread has all the Stock firmwares.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate-8-stock-firmware-official-t3391727
Hope the above steps solve your problem. If not, then we will try something else. please answer all the questions to help you better especially your full build number (firmware version).

Since you are on nougat with test keys, try to flash the latest nougat firmware on your phone model NXT-AL10 (Try flashing firmwares using TWRP )
Link for the firmware
link 1 https://mega.nz/#!Y4IVEbxY!7C8u3FP3V8eAV4jVNmbRUfj2W1nc8p5gMtaScVmzeA0
if the link 1 doesn't work then try link 2
link 2 https://mega.nz/#!U9ZkTZzI!fbPnyDIxCGGFkiGxtF3SMicLqmTDNTq8SG8fVw8lfz8
download & flash it using TWRP.
Once you finish flashing - you should have android nougat stock B584
Go to settings - > about you should see that B584. in build number.
If your build number is showing anything other than test-keys then you will be able to use dload method or Hisuite method using PC.
Now if IT IS showing B584, then you can dload to B386. then unlock bootloader -> TWRP using SRK tools - > Root - > and then debrand to L29C432. - > this is the road map for you. we will go through this only after you succeed in the above steps.
Try the below steps only if the above steps don't work
if you want to flash the nougat recovery
then unzip the zip file in link 1.
Use Huawei update extractor software HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3
and then extract the recovery.img from the update.app file.
now
switch on usb debugging in your settings.
switch off the phone
press & hold volume down and then connect to phone to laptop
put the extracted recovery.img file in the same folder as the SRK tools
open SRK tools
type 000 to enter command prompt
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(please remember all these steps that use adb commands come with element of risk. so please proceed with caution and go slow. Proceed with these steps only if you know what you are doing otherwise do not proceed)
Try the TWRP steps first and see if that will resolve your issue before flashing any stock recovery. If your flashing through TWRP then it will install stock recovery & stock ROM.
Please share your progress.

You must know that I'm very grateful for your help
Do I have to format data before start flashing B584.zip or do nothing?
Do I need update_data_full_all_cn.zip ?

Glad to read Ur kind words but V have a long road ahead. So let's fix ur phone :good:
Answers
1) Yes, you can format DATA before flashing this zip file. you can also do factory reset before flashing the zip file. (Remember we are doing this step only to get ur phone out of that test keys & this firmware is not ur final firmware that u will use. )
2) I was searching for a firmware that u can flash on ur phone and I found B584 and felt this might help. The guys in the other thread mentioned it as full firmware. After u flash this firmware, check in settings - > about - > build number if it is anything else other than test keys then u succeeded in this step.
Goal of this flashing of B584 is only to get rid of that test keys in build number. Once that is gone then U can downgrade to B386 using steps in my previous posts followed by the road map.

When I flash B584.zip see this error in twrp:
Failed to mount '/cust' (invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/version' (invalid argument)
E:unknown command [errno]
E:unknown command [errno]
Update process ended with ERROR: 7
No good.....
From the first time i was not able to upgrade my phone to another new version of Android.
The phone was bought on chinese store with Android version : WW V10.40.47.107 (Android MM)
When i checked availability of new versions, phone showed me no result available.
Then following instructions i unlocked bootloader and then install TWRP as recovery system.
I tried to install updates of ROM downloaded from Asus website using this methods with this results :
installing by TWRP with ROM transfered to internal memory of phone KO
installing by "ADB sideload" command KO
I partially resolved after many attempts updating only to Version V11.41.87.2 (Android MM)
I solved in this way :
i used TWRP installing from file transfered directly in microSD
i extracted from zipped file "updater-script" file that is possible to find in the following folder path :
META-INF > com > google > android
and then deleted this rows :
(!less_than_int(1494697617, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (2017年 05月 14日 星期日 01:46:57 CST) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
.....
getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW" || abort("Please use the right SKU for updating...");
.....
and then save file extracted and compress into zip file.
During TWRP install process i got some error updates, it seems connected to System folder/partition update
but at the end i was able to update Android to my phone
I tried to do the same method with an other update Version V20.32.67.25 i got a corrupted System folder/partition
It seems essential to update this phone to use original recovery system. Can anyone give it to me?
Or is there someone who has been able to install updates using TWRP without any error ?
Also after installation I wiped the Boot, System, Data, Cache partitions and then I restored from Nandroid backup done by TWRP.
But the phone did not start at the reboot.
I then had to reinstall the update with the method described above to get the working phone back
Why did Nandroid backup with TWRP not correctly restore the phone?
Many thanks to anyone can help me

There is a link to a rom in this post. In that zip you will find recovery.img. Flash it with adb, like you flashed twrp.
Then you can flash the last M official rom, and subsequently the first and last N roms.
That's the way I did it. I had to end up wiping data, to make it work correctly.
I'm also looking for a Nougat recovery.img.
I wouldn't like to go thru all the process again if there is another update.
Good luck.

i think you need flash full firmware bro ,
1. Download newer version firmware
2. You need Convert system.New.DAT to system.img
3. Move system.img and boot.img to minimal adb & fastboot folder
4. Open minimal adb & fastboot
5. Flash boot.img and system.img

Just to let you know I did this then downloaded each update from Asus website. You have to do it in order ie newest MM to oldest N to newest N. Takes a lot of time but it works. I now have N on my phone.

After 11 hours trying out finally solved!!!
I originally just wanted to do a factory reset, and swiped then not only data/cache, but unfortunally - because of lack of expirience - also system partition. After that all the problems occured like described above and partitionally in https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/unbricking-zenfone-3-ze552kl-dm-verity-t3563970 (there was no OS anymore, twrp warned me this every time I wanted to power off, but I couldn't install the firmware again through fastboot neither through twrp -> install zip; have got error 7 or 6).
Afer a lot of fears and hours of trying aroud possibilities above as well as ideas from articles here:

I have finally founded a solution!!! This is in FIRSTLY restoring original recovery and just then flashing the stock ROM. Here the steps to do for it:
a.) Download original stock rom (raw-version!) from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HuMJ/wEybSNsQA (raw is to flash through AFT - asus flash tool) or from any other source you can find online; official name seems to be "WW-ZE553KL-20.31.49.2-MR2-user-20170620235128-release_raw.zip"
b.) Exctract and move recovery.img to your adb-folder on PC
c.) Boot your phone into fastboot/boot mode, connect to PC through USB-Cable
d.) Run cmd in adb folder, then type in the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
e.) Reboot and choose recovery mode - now you have no twrp anymore, but the original recovery menue
f.) Install update, which means, original stock from your sd-card.
Be happy!

Boss,
This solutions can work with ASUS ZENFONE 3 ZOOM.........???
I have ZenFone 3 zoom. Already I successfully convert CN to WW Rom by following this introduction ... https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/transfer-cn-rom-to-ww-rom-ze553kl-t3612990
But, I can't update android nougat any way. I convert system.new.dat to system.img...... And try to flash it but unfortunately that's not working......
Please help me .......:crying:
Yes, I did it with my Zenfone 3 Zoom (ze553kl). So, you have firstly to flash the original recovery - to find, as described, in the raw stock rom zip archive. Or, you can find all original recovery's also here: (not tested by myself) https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w
Copy recovery.img to adb-folder, then flash it in fastboot mode in the cmd with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Also copy the original stock rom with Android N to your sd-card and put it into your phone.
Then reboot your phone into recovery - now you have no twrp anymore, but original recovery. Install now the zip with Android-N-stock-firmware from sd-card. Enjoy!

Boss ,
Thank you very much ...... Your solution absolutely excellent and work very well . I am very happy for your support . But unfortunately I found new problem on my phone ...... After update nougat a white line found on the display......
How can I solved it .......
Waiting for solution.......
Thanks again for your support ........
Glad to hear, that it worked for you as well. About white line I have no idea, but on other pages I have already seen somewhere, that other users also reported about this problem. Try to look at google "ze553kl update white line". You can also search a solution for ze552kl instead of ze553kl, because, as far as I know, the ze552kl (ZenFone 3, without "Zoom") is almost the same device, just with a little worse cam. Therefore, it seems to be longer on the market and to have more users, so there are also more solutions for problems which can occure to this device in the internet. Wish you a good luck!

Very helpful, thanks!
I must've messed something up when I flashed TWRP.
TWRP ran fine, but when I tried to start it up, it stayed stuck at the Android logo.
Then errors popped up when I tried to install the stock rom through TWRP.
I never would've thought or had the guts to restore stock recovery first.
This should get its own thread.
Edit: I think my mistake was unchecking "Mount system partition read-only."

After many days i finally found enough time to try to use your tips.
I tried to convert system.New.DAT to system.img but without success using this program Autotool 3.0
http://www.droidviews.com/convert-and-extract-system-img-and-system-new-dat-files-on-windows/
After this attempt i used a ROM provided by chinese store to flash its content :
system.img
boot.img
recovery.img
Original recovery.img is essential to install other updates.
After that i tried to install other updates recognized directly starting by phone but always without success.
So i have had to install updates using original recovery tool.
Now i got Android 7.1.1 last version installed on my phone but it's impossible to use
TWRP recovery tool.
Obviously it's possible to install TWRP instead of original recovery tool and also possible to make a nandroid backup
but it's impossible to use it to install original ROMs released from Asus and it's not possible
to use to restore nandroid backups.
Is it eventually possible to use a custom ROM ? If it's, which one and possibly compatible with TWRP ?
i solved issue of update, but TWRP ?

After many days I finally found enough time to try to update my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom to Android Nougat.
To solve the issue, I used an original Rom from the Chinese store because it contains useful files for purpose without any conversion:
boot.img
system.img
recovery.img
I flashed all 3 IMG files.
Recovery.img that it's necessary to get original recovery without which any update can be done.
You must use a microSD and the original recovery tool to be able to upgrade your system.
The problem is that it does not seem possible to use TWRP. It is possible to install it in place of the original recovery and you can do also a nandroid backup but in practice you can not use it to install any updates and restore any nandroid backups.
Is there a custom rom that you can use instead of the original one?

It is optional. If you want to perform clean install then you can go to TWRP main menu, Click on Wipe and swipe to factory reset
Or you can totally skip this step.
But it is always better to take a backup of your data --> Here is the guide to backup your data
:good:
Yes i know,but the Mate8 is from my Wife,she kill me with losing Data,hehe,for me is always better a Full Wipe before i install a new Full Update on my Honor Note 8

Absolutely. Usually it's 1-2 weeks from it's appearance on FF.
I have twisted mate 8 rom and I am interested in upgrading.. downloaded 580 but wasn't able to flash in using twrp .. read somewhere that I would need rom-pv file so downloaded 560-pv but have a question before flashing it.. will it make the phone full stock ?? I mean will it also remove twrp recovery and flash the original one ?

Hi, since i'm not confident with adb/fastboot commands, i'm asking help for restoring the original firmware and recovery in my MLA-L11.
I've downloaded the two files from Firmware Finder (i'm sure 100% they are the right one) but i don't know how to proceed. Anyone can help there? Thank you

Hey!
You have to go back to EMUI 4.1 by restoring a TWRP backup and then you will update to EMUI 5. Ive used the following process on my CAN-L11 and worked fine. It should work on all models. @virusdunil has followed the same process on his MLA-L03 and everything went fine.
Let me know if you experience some trouble during this process.
Go back to EMUI 4.1 (MM)
1) Download this TWRP backup of MM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73003510&postcount=60.
2) You can put the backup to internal memory or sdcard, After you've chose where you wanna put it, take a backup of boot.img with TWRP to internal/sdcard (where you wanna put the backup), so you'll get a folder with this structure: TWRP > BACKUPS > FPFDU16A20001907 (you'll have different number I guess). Then you'll put the twrp backup folder (which you have downloaded) in that folder with numbers
3) Boot in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache from twrp > wipe > advanced and then you restore the backup from TWRP > restore (restore only system + data + boot). Then you reboot and you're good to go.

Now update to EMUI 5 (N)
After youve downloaded the stock firmware using Firmware Finder, you should have two files:
- update.zip
- update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip (example)
Backup your internal memory as it will be wiped at step 8).
1) Extract update.zip. Then you get UPDATE.APP.
2) Download Huawei Update Extractor.
3) Open Huawei Update Extractor, choose UPDATE.APP from the folder where youve extracted it. Right click RECOVERY.img and extract it.
4) Now boot your phone in fastboot mode by pressing and holding the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
5) Type in terminal / command prompt on PC to flash the stock recovery which youve extracted at step 3):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
6) Reboot.
7) Put update.APP in a folder called dload on your sdcard.
8) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade. Now EMUI 5 will be installed, bootloader gets relocked and internal memory gets wiped. Now wait about 5 mins (maximum 10 mins). If the phone isnt booting within that time, then boot the phone in stock recovery by pressing and holding power and volume up buttons and choose "Wipe data / factory reset" and then "Wipe cache partition". After you reboot, the phone should boot. Skip the setup wizard.
9) Remove update.APP from dload folder from your sdcard and extract the other zip (example update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip) and put all the files/folders extracted in dload folder.
10) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade.
11) You are done.

You have to go back to EMUI 4.1 by restoring a TWRP backup and then you will update to EMUI 5. Ive used the following process on my CAN-L11 and worked fine. It should work on all models. @virusdunil has followed the same process on his MLA-L03 and everything went fine.

Hi robert, i succesfully downgraded to MM and restored (i guess) stock recovery. But when I try to upgrade to nougat via sdcard upgrade the phone can't find the update.zip file.
Maybe the problem is my phone believe he is a CAN instead of a MLA, and don't recognize a MLA update.zip file?
If that is the case, you need to use the firmware extractor and "fastboot flash system system.img" to get your build.prop back. That would get your device to recognize as what it is.

I found the issue, I had to unzip the update.zip tp UPDATE.app file in dload folder. The phone got bootloop at first flash, but wiping all solved the problem. Now i'm back to stock with proper build number, thanks @wangdang and @#Henkate for your support :victory:

I'm sorry, it looks like I've wrote update.zip instead update.APP and also at step 9). It was my fault .
I've updated the steps 7 and 9. Thank you!

Hey!
I've got your PM, but I see that meanwhile you've posted here and you made a new thread too... You don't have to make so many posts, a post or a thread is enough to get the attention of someone.
In your case, the phone model is MLA-L11 and C185/C432 is the build number as far as I remember. You can check the build number in Settings > About phone. I don't know if there's any other way to check, if you're on other build number now and you don't know which one was yours.

Hi
I've managed to backup EMUI 4.1, however I'm getting error message "software install failed" trying to update EMUI to 5.0 (pops up, every time when it reach 5% progress).
Any idea how to fix it?
best regards

Steps #9 and #10 do not work for me ("Software install failed"). But I wonder if they are necessary after all, because Product Id, IMEI, Build-number (and of course EMUI-Version and Android-Version) are stock again.
And isn't "update_full_CAN-L01_hw_eu.zip" supposed to be included in the "update.zip"-file? I thougt "update.zip" allready delivers every part of the ROM.
